Having seen some beautiful yarns, such as this Glowing Ginger by Bowerbird Knits, I decided to try fractal spinning for myself. I used Corriedale fibre from My Heart Exposed in a colourway named Clarese, a beautiful mix of greens, rust browns and peach tones.
I split the fibre into two strips, lengthwise. One length was left as it was, the other split lengthwise into two again, giving a shorter fatter piece of fibre and two thinner strips. The idea behind fractal spinning is that the singles will have colour repeats at different rates which will give an interesting effect when plied.
I am pleased with the end result, but possibly the colours (lovely as they are) were a little too similar in tone for the fractal patterning to show as distinctly as it could have done. I'm looking forward to making something from this to see how the colours appear when knitted – I'm imagining that it should have lots of subtle changes.
From Fibre to FO (a rare event)!
A couple of months ago I purchased some 'hotchpotch' packs of fibre from Helen at My Heart Exposed Yarns (www.folksy.com/shops/myheartexposed). I used one pack to experiment with corespinning and over Christmas I put the other pack of blue shades to good use.
I used the paper as inspiration for creating the yarn. The 'hotchpotch' was mainly shades of blue with a bit of plum thrown in – I added some blue merino and some brown mystery fibre that I received in a waste selection from www.worldofwool.co.uk.
I'm still not 100% sure about the way this turned out, but hey, I actually finished something!
Then it came off – wheeee!
It came out a bit thinner than I had aimed for, so another skein that goes in the big 'I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with this' pile. The skinniness of this yarn is averaged out by the 200g of Light Grey Suffolk that I spun aiming for an aran-ish weight to make some nice thick boot socks with – it started well, but I got distracted and spun a couple of bobbins of really fine singles before going back to it. The second and third bobbin ended up on the thicker side so I have some 3 ply bulky-ish yarn instead.
I have been working on a record keeping system, I just need to remember to fill it in at the vital points so I can remember how I got the yarn the first time!
I have somehow managed to lose this. (I never lose anything. Ever…) If you have any idea which safe place I've put it in, do let me know.
They say 'there's an app for that' – oh yes, there certainly is! There are quite a few for knitters – I'm working my way through some of the free stitch counter apps and working out what I like and don't. So far, Knit Counter Lite is working out well for me.
I've been spinning for just over a year, so maybe I'm ready to move on from the 'look I made yarn' stage to learning more about this technical looking stuff?
Knitting gifts for Christmas always seems such a good idea – but why does it always end up taking more time than you have? The snow and ice has returned and it meant a day of going nowhere and an excuse to do nothing but knit.
I'm doing three pairs of mittens and have finally finished one pair, the other needs another three rows per hand and I have finished one of the other pair (which was the pair I started first…).
This pair are for my mother-in-law, a lover of animals. The yarn is spun from a batt made of merino, alpaca and angora so represents a good selection from the animal kingdom. I'm not sure I carded it very well, the angora went into little clumps, but it made an interesting tweedy effect so I'm going to claim it's a design feature.
The thumb construction is deviously clever – instead of increasing to make the extra stitches you just stop decreasing within the pattern. These are a gift for someone, but I think I'll make another pair for me!
How many plies does a girl need?
It's almost a year since I started spinning on a wheel. I've been stocking up on bobbins and whorls as the membership discount that I purchased when I bought the wheel runs out pretty soon. I've now got 5 standard bobbins and 4 high speed ones, which should be enough to keep me going for a long while. At around £30 per bobbin that's a lot of money on bobbins – one of the (few) downsides of a Ladybug wheel.
I decided to put the bobbins to good use and try a 4-ply yarn. I had 100g of grey cheviot which I had already made a start on – I was impatiently trying out double drive and waiting for the high speed bobbins, so started on a standard bobbin, then put it to one side when the exciting new shiny high speed bobbins came along. Fickle, me???
So, there was about 35g on the existing bobbin so I split the remaining fibre into roughly even sections and spun three more bobbins worth. So far, so good! I went and fiddled with the inbuilt lazy kate, adjusting everything so all the bobbins sat nicely and the tension bands went where they should. I think I overdid it as it was hanging onto the yarn a bit too much whilst plying, so I'll have to go and tweak it again.
Plying four singles at once was interesting… I tend to ply using a whorl which is a couple of sizes larger than the one I used for spinning the single, but even this resulted in a somewhat overplied finished yarn. I think it was a combination of trying to keep four singles under control, them all fighting the lazy kate and me treadling like a demon. Although it wasn't perfect it did make a lovely round yarn. Of course I ended up with three bobbins with varying amounts of singles on them, so made some more 2 ply to use it all up. I have a picture in my mind of a hat I've seen somewhere with a seed stitch brim, then plain stocking stitch and a knitted flower on it. Despite looking in many place I can't find it online, so maybe someone wore it in a TV programme. If the yarn isn't too wire-like it may turn into something like that.
I want to try this again though – I have a vision of a lovely fat squooshy yarn which I could make into a great big wrappy round scarf.
The weather is definitely changing. I am managing to stick with my running but getting up and going running at 6.00 am is getting harder as the mornings get darker and the temperature keeps dropping!
In an attempt to stop the sunshine becoming a distant memory, I spun up the Summer Flowers fibre that I dyed earlier in the year. I've been using double drive on my Ladybug again and I'm enjoying experimenting with spinning this was and am gradually achieving thinner and thinner yarn. This yarn is just starting to become a pair of socks.
Liesl – finished at last!
This version is much calmer. I managed to use up almost all the yarn I had spun (about 400g of arun/bulky weight) – literally just a couple of yards spare. I knit the yoke and a fair bit of the body then started wondering when to stop. I went back and knitted the arms, then kept going on the body until the yarn ran out.
I'd like to knit another one of these – maybe a calm mix of colours, and a slightly lighter-weight yarn (this version is certainly warm and weighty)!
However, I did take the essentials with me – some fibre and my spindle, my copy of YarnMaker magazine, my Leyburn socks and a Liesl cardigan (if I could have got my wheel in the car I would have done)!
Back to reality now, well a mountain of washing and ironing, but I do have another week off work. Amongst the many things I'd like to do this week is get one of my patterns written up and available via my blog, so watch this space!
My jammy daughter has been given a Haldane wheel by a member of our spinning group!
It has taken several hours of jiggling, adjusting and oiling but it is now working much more smoothly than it was. It is much harder to treadle than my Ladybug, but is growing on me. I look forward to finding out more about this wheel.
I also managed to get half an alpaca fleece for a huge £2.50 so I don't feel left out in the goodies stakes!
I had quite a productive time. I didn't complete the projects that I had planned, I'm too easily led astray, especially with shiney new fibre and spindles. I'm pleased with what I achieved though, especially the coils!
I had a lovely day yesterday. The sun shone, I enhanced my stash a bit and bought two spindles from IST Crafts.
I started spinning using a spindle, an Ashford one that is about the size and weight of a small country by comparison to these! I made a few spindles myself out of wooden wheel, CDs and bits of dowel and they all worked well enough, but weren't that well balanced. When I first got my Ladybug wheel I put the spindles to one side, but these are so pretty and spin forever. I've had a quick go with both of them – I bought some oatmeal BFL/silk blend which I tried out on the drop spindle after a rather nice picnic, then tried a silk hankie on the turkish spindle (after a few hours on one layer I had to admit defeat and go to bed, leaving it for another day).
I did manage a rosette yesterday – my Shetland Fern scarf as awarded sixth place which I am delighted about! The fancy yarn class was great, and it was a skein of coiled yarn that picked up a first place so I will have to keep in training for next year!
This was an odd project – it sort of came from nowhere and all worked out right. I'm sure something suitably disastrous will happen soon to rebalance this in a karma sort of way… Meanwhile I'm really happy with my new bag!
It's lined with pink corderoy fabric and even has a magnetic fastener to keep the top shut. I've managed to fit my purse, camera, diary and a little bag of fibre inside it (just in case I need to try out any spindles today, you understand) and am off to test it out.
I was struggling at making coiled yarn and by happy coincidence Vampy posted a great guide on the UK Spinners' group: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/uk-spinners/1220078/1-25#13.
The highlighter pen is not just a random object… To make successful coils you have a core yarn which is suitably strong (I used embroidery thread) and the other single wraps around it. If you do a normal 2-ply, both singles wrap around each other, but here the core yarn doesn't want to get tangled up with the other single at all.
I tied both the thread and the single to the leader and then let the pen dangle down so as the thread twisted during coil spinning all the twistyness just went down the thread and made the pen spin and just sort of oozed away. When I had used up the thread that was available I just unwound a bit more and locked it under the pen clip to keep it all from unwinding too much.
It took ages to spin the two together and after an entire evening's work I had a grand total of… about 12 yards – wooohooo!
I knitted a Booga Bag a couple of years ago and remember that it got much shorter but not a lot narrower so I've tried to take this into account when making this bag. Hopefully I will finish the handle today and get it in the washing machine – I hate that bit, what if it eats all my hard work and turns it into something the size of a thimble? Then I'm on a button buying mission tomorrow so I can get it finished and use it on Sunday!
Another Tour de Fleece project – pink merino, BFL and sugarplum angelina carded together and spun as singles. I did several hot/cold/hot/cold soaks to set the twist and felt the yarn slightly so it would all hang together, which it seems to have done, even if it is still a bit curly wurly!
I don't often have a plan, things tend to just sort of happen! Here's the plan – I want to make a bag, a green grassy sort of coloured bag. It'll have a shoulder strap and I'm going to felt it. Then I'm going to find some lovely buttons in the shapes of flowers and sew them on.
It's 100g of Black Welsh Mountain fibre that I bought from World of Wool. I wanted to try out this fibre as I'd been promised a fleece, but apparently the poor old sheep are still wearing it (and must be sweating away given the weather at the moment). It was my first go at using my Ladybug in Double Drive and it worked out OK, althought I found the takeup a bit light for my taste. Thanks to the Schacht Spinners group on Ravelry for helping me to get all my string and whorls the right way round – I will try and write up what went where soon.
It's nearly time for the Tour de Fleece! If you don't know, it's an excuse for lots of spinning, which takes place whilst the Tour de France is on. The general idea seems to be to have a good time, spin a lot and share your efforts with your fellow team members on Ravelry. I've signed up for two team – Team Social and Team Schacht Spinners.
Finish spinning enough oatmeal BFL to be able to knit my Liesl.
Try spinning something arty (deliberately, rather than passing off something that went wrong as experimental art yarn). Maybe using beads or coils?
How much yarn can you get on a bobbin?
This is the purple shetland fibre that I dyed in my second attempt at dyeing, plied with the various blue/purple/teal/green/angelina fibres that I carded together. This measured up to be around 700 yards of somewhere between lace and fingeringweight yarn. The purple has dulled down the brighter colours somewhat.
I had ideas of making a lightweight cardigan, knitting a thin yarn on big needles and weighing the cuffs and edges down by adding beads. I'm not so sure now, this might become a wide stole, maybe based on a feather and fan stitch. I tried a swatch, just to see how it knit up.


Few years ago no one would've expected fashion brands to show up at the CES, however smartwatches and other wearable gadgets have changed the fashion world. In comes the fashion brand Guess, with a fashionable smartwatch of their own named Guess Connect. When wearable technology trend started Guess did the smart thing and partnered with Martian Smartwatches, a leader in all things wearable tech. The Guess Connect design is based on brand's popular Rigor model with Martian providing voice control and notification systems.
Fashionable smartwatch is due to release this summer priced around $300. According to Engadget they weren't allowed to test drive the unit at the CES. However, information they gathered from the prototype showed it to be driven by a dual-power system. A micro-USB charger is there to power the smartwatch features and a regular cell battery for the mechanical movement side of things. Guess Connect's regular cell battery is said to carry a battery life of around two years.


The International Guild of Knot Tyers is not an exclusive organisation of experts. We do have our experts across a wide range of knotting aspects, but one of the reasons they joined the Guild was to pass on their skills and their enjoyment of knot tying to others. Most of the members would say that they are still learning.
Don't worry about your present skills. Even our most skilled knotters were beginners at some time. For some, of course, that was a longer time ago than they care to remember! But if you have the enthusiasm we can help you build your skills.
Looking to learn a bit about knotting to see if it's something you enjoy? Look no further. Here we have a number of tutorials covering some of the basics of knots and knotting. Try a few projects and see what you think, and, if you enjoy yourself, consider joining the IGKT.

Roll the Bones tells the story of gambling: where it came from, how it has changed, and where it is now. This is the new Casino Edition. which updates and expands the global history of gambling to include a greater focus on casinos, from their development in European spas to their growth in Reno and Las Vegas. New material chronicles in greater depth the development of casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and their spread throughout the United States. A new chapter better places Atlantic City's casinos into their correct context, and new material accounts for the rise of casinos in Asia and online gaming.
From the first modern casino in Venice (1638), casinos have grown incredibly. During the 18th and 19th century, a series of European spa towns, culminating in Monte Carlo, hosted casinos. In the United States, during those same years, gambling developed both in illegal urban gambling halls and in the wide-open saloons of the western frontier. Those two strands of American gambling came together in Nevada's legal casinos, whose current regime dates from 1931. Developing with a healthy assist from elements affiliated with organized crime, these casinos eventually outgrew their rough-hewn routes, becoming sun-drenched pleasure palaces along the Las Vegas Strip. With Nevada casinos proving successful, other states, beginning with New Jersey in 1976, rolled the dice. From there, casinos have come to America's tribal lands, rivers, and urban centers. In the last decade, gambling has moved online, while Asia–with multi-billion dollar projects in Macau and Singapore–has become a new casino frontier.
Reading Roll the Bones, you'll get a better appreciation for how long casinos and gambling have been with us–and what they mean to us today.

Can Higher WarnerMedia Revenues Propel AT&T (T) Q3 Earnings?
QCOM Quick Quote
QCOM
T Quick Quote
VZ Quick Quote
TMUS Quick Quote
AT&T Inc. (
T - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2021 results, before the opening bell, on Oct 21. In the third quarter, the company is likely to have recorded higher revenues year over year from the WarnerMedia segment due to significant traction from the streaming platform of HBO Max.
Factors at Play
The WarnerMedia segment represents the various business units of the erstwhile Time Warner namely, Turner, Home Box Office, and Warner Bros. It also includes AT&T's Regional Sports Networks in the Turner division and Otter Media.
The company witnessed healthy traction in HBO Max with a steady increase in subscriber base during most of the quarter, buoyed by a variety of subscription options and unrivaled access to global fan-favorite programs. AT&T expects to rake in 70 million to 73 million HBO Max subscribers by the end of 2021. The company has launched this streaming service in 39 markets in late June in Latin America and the Caribbean and intends to introduce it in six European markets in October, following it up with additional launches in 14 other countries in Europe in 2022. These are likely to have positively impacted its third-quarter performance.
With higher customer adoption, the segment revenues are likely to have increased during the quarter. Moreover, HBO Max boasts a higher-than-average price of $15 a month and is, therefore, reportedly making more money than some of its streaming rivals. However, AT&T apparently lost about 5 million U.S. subscribers as it decided to phase out HBO and HBO Max subscriptions through Amazon Prime Video Channels of Amazon.com effective Sep 15 in order to develop direct-to-consumer relationships. It halved HBO Max subscription price to $7.49 per month for six months in a limited promotional deal till Sep 26 to woo back the customers. This is likely to have affected the profitability of the WarnerMedia segment.
In addition, with live sports and events gaining popularity, TV advertisers have largely returned to the pre-pandemic levels. Intermittent movie releases and series for both traditional TV and streaming services are also expected to have buoyed top-line growth. However, adverse foreign currency translations, evolving market conditions in the aftermath of the deadly virus outbreak, and continued investments in HBO Max for new content production, foregone licensing revenues, and platform costs are likely to have led to soft margins.
Overall Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from WarnerMedia is pegged at $8,377 million, indicating an improvement from $7,514 million reported in the year-ago quarter. Operating income is pegged at $2,014 million, implying an improvement from $1,759 million reported in the prior-year quarter. The consensus mark for EBITDA from the segment stands at $2,236 million, suggesting growth from $1,930 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues of the company stands at $40,542 million, indicating a decline from $42,340 million reported in the prior-year quarter. The consensus mark for earnings is currently pegged at 78 cents per share. It had reported 76 cents in the year-earlier quarter.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for AT&T for the third quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. This is perfectly the case here.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is +1.11% with the former pegged at 79 cents and the latter at 78. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

When my washing machine is in wash cycle (Hoover Commodore 5.0kg), it makes a loud squeaking (with each rotation). I think it is comming from the bottom of the machine? How do I fix this?
sounds like it may be stuck on a drain cycle?
THIS MAY be your defective part!
BE VERY careful handling this switch because it's quite delicate!
These YOUTUBE video MAY help you!
Here is another YOUTUBE that discusses "Pressure Switches"... and that MAY be your problem. KNOW this is general information and not specific to your Hoover!
More: The intelligent KG Mode sensor weighs the laundry and adjusts the cycle time, water and electricity consumption to suit the size of the load. This gives you the optimum consumption even if you are only washing one shirt.
• Through every wash phase "Kg MODE"
load, thus avoiding any imbalance.
Loks that your machine is pretty old and hence the belt has hardened making a squeaking noise.
Good fix is get a new drive belt.
Quick fix is you could put some oil on the drive belt..... it will work for now but not a permenant solution.
Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean(ref manual). There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.
Rate me pl.....if helped. Click on 'thanks for trying' if not helped, your prob will be back for someone else to solve.
My old Hoover top loader Washer is noisy & doesn't spin out properly - how can I fix it?
Sounds like the switch which cuts the machine off when the load is unbalanced. My guess is that: This switch is being triggered too easily The springs holding the bowl up are either stretched or one is broken; The machine may not be level.
Wash cycle fills with water but does not continue with programme, ends without spinning or emptying Filter not blocked, wash cycle fills but programme does not run. At end clothes are not washed and does not empty.
Have a manual for Hoover Nextra HNT 2135 Top Load Washer?

Der Phra Pathom Chedi (Thai: ) ist mit 127 m der höchste buddhistische Chedi weltweit. Der Chedi steht in der Stadt Nakhon Pathom in Thailand.

Geschichte
Der Name Phra Pathom Chedi bedeutet Heiliger Chedi des Anfangs. Die ersten schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen über diesen Chedi reichen bis ins Jahr 675, doch deuten archäologische Ausgrabungen darauf hin, dass bereits im 4. Jahrhundert ein erster Chedi errichtet worden war.

Nach der Eroberung des Landes durch die Khmer wurde der Chedi mit einem Prang überbaut, der später vom Dschungel bedeckt wurde. Die Ruine wurde im 19. Jahrhundert wiederentdeckt, als der spätere König Mongkut (Rama IV.) während seiner Zeit als Wandermönch durch die Wälder Nakhon Pathoms streifte. Nach seiner Krönung ordnete er an, hier eine neue und besonders wichtige buddhistische Stätte zu errichten. Nach 17 Baujahren wurde das Bauwerk 1870 unter seinem Nachfolger König Chulalongkorn (Rama V.) vollendet. Chulalongkorn ließ das Bauwerk später auch mit feinen chinesischen Ziegeln überziehen. Die Bevölkerung  aus dem nahe gelegenen Nakhon Chai Si wurde in die neu errichtete Stadt um den Chedi herum angesiedelt.

Das thailändische Kulturministerium hat Phra Pathom Chedi als zukünftiges Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO vorgeschlagen.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Phra Ruang Rojanaridhi – König Vajiravudh (Rama VI.) fand im Jahre 1909, als er noch Kronprinz war, in Si Satchanalai Bruchstücke einer großen Buddha-Statue, von der nur der Kopf, Hände und Füße unversehrt waren. Prinz Naris wurde beauftragt, die Statue zu restaurieren. Sie wurde 1913 im Wat Pho in Bangkok gegossen. Am 2. November 1915 wurde die Statue in der nördlichen Kapelle (Wihan Thit) eingeweiht. König Vajiravudh gab ihr den Namen Phra Ruang Rojanaridhi Sri Indarathita Dharmobas Maha Vajiravudha Rajapujaniya Borpitra. Später wurden die sterblichen Überreste des Königs im Sockel der Statue beigesetzt. Heute steht Phra Ruang Rojanaridhi in der Handhaltung Abhaya Mudra (Schutzverheissung) weithin sichtbar oben an der großen nördlichen Freitreppe.
 Phra Phuttha Narachet – die sitzende Buddha-Statue "aus weißem Stein" im Dvaravati-Stil befindet sich an der Treppe zum südlichen Eingang. Sie ist von Kopf bis zu den Füßen 3,76 m hoch, sitzt im europäischen Stil mit der Handhaltung der Unterweisung (Vitarka Mudra). Eine weitere gleich aussehende Statue befindet sich im Wat Na Phra Men im heutigen Geschichtspark Ayutthaya, eine dritte steht im Nationalmuseum Bangkok.
 Ein Modell der ursprünglichen Chedi, mit einer glockenförmigen Basis ähnlich der Stupa von Sanchi und einem Khmer-Prang steht heute neben dem südlichen Eingang zur Chedi.
 Außen am Phra Rabieng, der kreisförmigen Galerie, welche die Chedi umgibt, sind in regelmäßigen Abständen kleine Nischen angebracht. Hierin befinden sich 40 Buddha-Statuen, welche nach einer Liste des Abtes  von Wat Pho Prinz Paramanuchit Chinorot hergestellt wurden. Die Liste enthält Buddha-Statuen in den 40 Standard-Posen der thailändischen Ikonographie.

This post ought to be something I think about a lot more than I'm going to. I want to be nice and profound and maybe even a bit eloquent.
Instead, this is going to be something where I just talk. So grab a cup o' Joe (or whatever) and just sit and listen to me pour out my heart tonight. And then please, comment back. I'd love a discussion.
See, the thing is, I've seen a whole lot lately about struggling readers. And even from people I really respect, I hear misinformation.
Just don't label your child as a struggling reader, some will say. Self-fulfilling prophecy and all that. As though when I was in total denial about how my kid was doing he wasn't struggling. Labeling him made a world of difference... for the better. I stopped thinking that time was going to cure his issues, I stopped thinking I had messed him up. I started working with him where he was. I started understanding that he wasn't doing stuff just to frustrate me. He does see the world differently. And he started to actually make progress.
And if the person giving such advice actually knew a struggling reader, she'd also know that the label is only acknowledging what everyone knows already. The label is NOT creating the problem.
Just find something they are interested in and they'll come around. But you see, my struggling readers are NOT reluctant readers. They have PLENTY of things they desperately want to read. The issue is that they can't. At least not easily. They are both getting better. Lots better. But providing interesting reading material alone isn't going to do it.
Just read aloud. Lots. From birth. If you read great stuff aloud they will naturally become great readers. And you know what? I have. Check my read-aloud posts on Thursdays. I read aloud to Thomas, Richard and Trina the day they came home from the hospital. I wasn't quite as on top of it with William, but by the time he was three months old, I was reading aloud to him every. single. day. Connor, however (my only GOOD reader) was almost two before I started making reading aloud a habit.
The people who spout this little myth always have lots of statistics to back them up. About how kids who come from a print-rich environment read so much better than those who don't. And kids who regularly visit the library read better. And kids who see their parents read will be great readers too.
It doesn't always work that way. We have lots of books. Thousands. My kids see both of us reading. A lot. We visit the library and generally have 50-60 books out at any given time. We have library cards at three different libraries, in fact. And my severely dyslexic kid just spent his summer Saturday mornings volunteering with the summer reading program.
All of the above has given him an amazing vocabulary. But it hasn't turned him into a fantastic reader.
Just don't worry about it. When he is good and ready to read, he just will. Uh-huh. Both my struggling readers want it. And maybe it's true that when they are good and ready, they will read. So HOW do I get them good and ready?
Just use a good solid phonics program. Or just use... whatever little pet program the speaker happens to love. It isn't that easy.
I started thinking about the book Thank You, Mr. Falker by Patricia Polacco. If you haven't read it, check your library, check the bookstore... get this book. Like many of Polacco's books, this one is autobiographical. The little girl in the book is desperately wanting to go to school and learn to read. But when she gets there, she doesn't learn to read. The letters don't make sense, they don't cooperate for her... and she falls further and further behind, enduring the taunting of her classmates who are calling her dumb, and probably worse.
And then this cool young teacher, Mr. Falker, starts teaching her 5th grade class. And he sees something in her, recognizes her issues, and truly helps. Patricia Polacco, like the girl in the story, struggled with dyslexia. They weren't dumb.
I cannot get through the book without sobbing. I can't write this up without crying.
I keep praying that if I'm not "Mr. Falker" for my kids, that whoever that person is will come along soon.
Meanwhile, I need to stop reading advice for struggling readers that is being given by people who have never struggled with reading themselves nor have they had kids who actually struggled. Or go ahead and read that advice, but plaster "She doesn't have the first clue!" all over it.
I have to stop letting stuff like that make me feel inept.
I hear you! My oldest is an awesome reader, my second-born struggles. I "love" people who say that my oldest will be a scholar and my next son with be the athlete. And they say it with that "all knowing" tone. Ugg! Drives me crazy!
I enjoyed your post. My two were early readers, but when I taught I did work with struggling readers. Who knows what makes everything "click", right? I pray for peace for you and easier reading, too.
I agree Debra! I wrote a post on this recently too. I have read advice recently for struggling readers that quite honestly made me very angry. The writer wasn't a struggling reader, nor was she teaching one. I wish it could be as easy as some advice given but every day is a struggle. Praying for the day it all makes sense to him and he can really enjoy the wonderful world of books that is out there.
Thanks for the supportive comments! I was a mess last night and was really worried that I hadn't written anything rational. LOL.
is on my iPod, and I've meant to TYPE in the blog address so I could go comment on it. LOL... I know my post was at least partially inspired by yours.
And I'm betting we read the same post. I was so angry I could have spit... and I used some rather colorful language in describing it to my husband. Not family friendly.
I'd like to say I don't use those words, but at least nowadays I do tend to reserve them for really special occasions.
Thanks for saying this, Debra. I have been feeling rather inept myself lately. And, you know what? I do read to my kids a great deal. And we listen to audio books. And I encourage them to read.
Yet some of them struggle with reading. But they love it when they are read to, by me, my husband or an older sibling. There seriously is more to the picture than some would have you believe. They do see the world differently. And some days I really do all I can and fall into bed exhausted.
It does get better with hard work and experimenting to find the right approaches, but pointing the finger and implying that you "aren't doing enough/the right things" only encourages guilt. And that is the last thing some of us who really work hard at helping our kids need. Thanks.
The world seems to be full of people who think they know better, doesn't it?
This isn't one of our particular struggles (yet, anyway), but I know you work so hard with your children and can understand why that sort of "advice" would make you angry. I hope you can look away from those messages...I know they mean well...Ok, I think they mean well...but they need to be quiet. Really. I've been a "victim" of enough of that "well-meaning" advice (concerning other issues) to know.
I also have some struggling readers. I just want to thank you for linking to this blog post from TOS facebook page. Glad I could read it!
If your list was true, I'd have two great readers. Myths for sure.

FIM Indoor Enduro World Championship, Rnd 1, Genoa, Italy, 27.11.2010
Tough IEWC opener for Blazusiak in Italy
KTM Enduro Factory Team rider Taddy Blazusiak endured a challenging first round of the 2011 FIM Indoor Enduro World Championships staged in Genoa, Italy, as two crashes in the night's first final left the Polish rider severely beaten up and with a mild concussion. With a simple fall dropping him into the mid-pack, Taddy then came up short on the track's triple jump, which fired him and his bike into the ground. Thankfully able to continue, but with handlebars bent so badly that his bike was almost unrideable, Taddy salvaged a ninth place result.
Aggravating a shoulder injury picked up at the start of the year Taddy fell in the second final while leading. Unable to raise his left elbow due to pain from his shoulder, Taddy simply lost his front end but quickly remounted to claim second behind Finland's Mika Ahola. Somehow managing to save his best until the third final Taddy lead from start to finish to claim an impressive win. Despite his disappointing ninth place result in the first final Blazusiak sits third in the IEWC series standings, just eight points behind leader Ahola.
Taddy Blazusiak: 'I'm sure a lot of people would have been expecting me to win, and of course that's what I wanted, but my style is always to push as hard as I can, to give 100 per cent, and tonight it didn't quite work out. I had two crashes in the first final – the first was a simply indoor enduro fall where I lost my front wheel after hitting a log. But the second was much bigger. I was riding with a good pace and was sure I could get back to the front but I lost some traction on the take off of the triple jump and came up short. I knew that doing the triple had its risks and when I came up a little short it fired me and my bike into the ground. After that I just tried to score as many points as possible on a really bent and twisted bike. My shoulder was really sore after that crash so I was struggling a bit on the second race. I didn't have a loft of power in the shoulder and I just ended up on the ground again when I was leading. I got back to second, which was ok. The last race was the perfect way to end the night. I pulled the holeshot and then stayed out front and upright all race. I felt like my speed was good enough to win all three races but after my first final crash to still be third in the championship is really good. There's still a long way to go in the series and retaining my IEWC title is still my number one goal.'

IT Jobs for Graduates, http://www.itjobsforgraduates.com, has launched an initiative called 'Be Your Best', http://beyourbest.itjobsforgraduates.com, offering job hunting tips and advice for IT graduates and students during the current economic downturn.
The first site dedicated to IT recruitment for interns and graduates, IT Jobs for Graduates works with some of the UK's leading employers and IT recruitment agencies, helping candidates to find the right jobs. The website offers 1,800 internship and graduate programmes, as well as entry level vacancies on behalf of recruiters.
'Be Your Best' has been created to arm students and graduates looking for IT jobs with useful industry insight. The information is designed to help them stand out from the crowd and market themselves in the best possible way to potential recruiters, during the recession.
A micro-site has also been launched, http://beyourbest.itjobsforgraduates.com, where students and graduates can provide their feedback, by sending in their stories and videos on something they did to really stand out from the crowd. And, updates for the campaigns will be going on to a twitter page, http://twitter.com/itjobs4grads, and also via the IT Jobs for graduates Facebook group 'IT begins here'.
In conjunction with the online support, IT Jobs for Graduates will also be holding seminars at selected universities across the UK throughout June. Here, the team will run presentations and provide face-to-face advice on how students can 'Be Their Best', they will also provide mini CV workshops.
Teresa Sperti, head of international marketing at IT Jobs for Graduates, commented: We are committed to providing graduates with the tools to help them secure the right job. In the current climate, competition for employment is fierce and it is vital that job applicants market themselves in the best way possible.
The 'Be Your Best' campaign was launched to support students and graduates. We have taken the advice provided by employers and recruiters, and have passed this on through a comprehensive online and offline marketing programme. And, we firmly believe it will help candidates towards securing jobs in IT.
IT Jobs for Graduates also provides a free 'Jobs by Email' service that sends relevant IT jobs on a daily basis.
IT Jobs for Graduates (http://www.itjobsforgraduates.com) is part of The IT Job Board group of companies (which includes http://www.theitjobboard.co.uk).
The IT Job Board group of companies was set up in April 2002 in recognition that recruitment in the IT sector was increasingly dominated by the internet.
Online technology enables sophisticated targeting - for example by skill, region or experience - of http://www.theitjobboard.co.uk's database of 800,000 IT professionals. The IT Job Board always tries to get closer to candidates either via planned content campaigns, or through the use of social networks.
The site also offers employers services such as branded job postings, a featured employer zone, targeted email campaigns and guidance on advertising copy. The managed campaign service filters responses to provide companies with a shortlist of applicants most suitable for the advertised position.
http://www.theitjobboard.co.uk's clients include Bloomberg, TDG, Conoco Phillips, CSC, Standard Bank and BG Group.

Goldman Sachs paying to ship breast milk for nursing employees is a small win for working moms
Published: Aug. 24, 2018 at 9:20 a.m. ET
Jeanette Settembre
Goldman Sachs follows companies like IBM, Ernst & Young and Twitter to ship breast milk for its employees, and moms tell Moneyish how they overcame the challenges of breastfeeding on business trips
Here's one less thing working moms need to worry about on the job.
Breastfeeding employees at Goldman Sachs will now be able to ship their breast milk home while they're traveling for work, free of charge, the company announced on Tuesday.
The investment bank and financial services firm will offer a breast milk shipping program globally for working moms through LifeCare's milkship, a full-service delivery that can arrive to the destination overnight. Employees working outside of the U.S. will get reimbursed for shipping costs or in-room refrigerator costs.
"Being a parent, with all its rewards, can bring its own unique set of challenges. We continuously look to provide our people with programs and services to support them in navigating the day-to-day issues that arise while empowering them with the tools to be successful at home and at work," Laura Young, global head of Wellness at Goldman, said in a statement.
Goldman Sachs isn't the first company with a policy that allows new moms to ship breast milk while traveling on the job for free. Companies like IBM, Twitter and Accenture have had similar policies since 2015, and Ernst & Young first started shipping breast milk in 2007.
Goldman's new policy is a small win for corporate moms, but a major pain point for the rest of the female workforce. Statistics show that more than 8 in 10 new moms, or 81.1%, begin breastfeeding their babies at birth, according to a 2016 Breastfeeding Report Card released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, research suggests that workplace barriers like lack of privacy and time to produce milk on the job make it harder for women to continue to breastfeed. In the month a new mother returns to work, she's twice as likely to stop breastfeeding as her nonworking counterparts.
That can have a negative effect on a mother's mental health. Women who feel pressured to stop breastfeeding when they go back to work could face greater risk for postpartum depression, as . scientific evidence suggests that breastfeeding may protect against PPD and assist in a faster recovery from symptoms of depression and anxiety.
But most working women don't have the luxury of shipping their breast milk back home to their babies free of charge. Windsor Hanger Western, the co-founder of online magazine Her Campus, faced a number obstacles and discrimination while traveling through France with her husband for business.
"They asked me, 'where's your baby?' Clearly I wouldn't bring my breast pump with me if I had my baby. They made me throw away two of my ice packs," she said, of traveling from Bordeaux to Nice.
When she arrived, the refrigerator in her hotel room at Le Meridien in Nice did not have a freezer, and staff refused to store the 50-ounces of frozen breast milk she had been pumping and freezing for her three-month old daughter during the 10-day trip.
"I asked them if they would put it in a hotel freezer. I had completely sealed it and they refused to freeze it for me. I had to dump it all out, it was a complete waste," Hanger Western said of having to throw away two days worth of breast milk she pumped.
According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you can bring formula and breast milk in your carry-on baggage in "reasonable quantities" (though they don't specify what this means). You don't need to travel with your child to bring breast milk on an airplane, and ice packs to cool breast milk are allowed in a carry-on.
The stigma around breastfeeding is also something that's very present in the workplace especially when just 28% of organizations have proper nursing areas, according to a recent survey. And it's worth noting that two-thirds of those who were less supportive of women who pump at work were men, according to the same survey. This is despite the Affordable Care Act provision that mandates employers provide a private, non-bathroom space for pumping breast milk. If a mother does decide to breastfeed, babies need to be nursed eight to 12 times in 24 hours, though as the baby gets older, the number of feedings may decrease. Pumping breast milk can take about 10 to 15 minutes multiple times a day to make enough milk for the baby, so many women will have to pump on their lunch break, come to work early or leave later often.
Like Hanger, Jessica Shortall, an entrepreneur and author of "Work. Pump. Repeat: New Mom's Survival Guide to Breastfeeding and Going Back to Work," went through hell trying to pump and freeze her breast milk on the job.
"There weren't any workplace mentors for me," Shortall told Moneyish of going back to work at Toms shoes five months after she had her son and feeling weird about nursing on the job. The company was still in start-up mode, and she was asked to fly to Nepal for a business trip.
"I could not imagine passing it up, but it meant I had to fly without my son and with a breast pump. I was pumping in cars, on airplanes all of the kinds of things a lot of working moms have to experience," she said, adding that she suffered "extreme" postpartum anxiety in doing so.
SEE ALSO: Why breastfeeding moms are trying to normalize pumping at work
"I found myself pumping in Bangkok on the way to Nepal and thinking 'Is someone going to see wires and tubes under the stall?' That kind of anxiety doesn't help," she said, adding that she had to eventually dump all of the milk she pumped because there was no way to keep it cold once she arrived in Nepal.
"On the way back I used ice from airport bartenders and flight attendants, in Ziploc bags, to keep that milk cold in a soft-sided cooler I'd packed. It wasn't much, though. 24 hours of travel after an exhausting week did not make for fantastic milk supply," she added.
Since paid family leave is not guaranteed in the US -- and women make up 51% of the workforce -- 25% of new moms go back to work less than two weeks after giving birth. That may be bad for their health: Research shows that women who take less than six months of maternity leave face a higher risk of PPD.
'The repairs were much more than I anticipated and, in 2019, I told my brother I would need to file for bankruptcy.'

Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Algonquin and HMCS Protecteur are expected to return to Esquimalt harbour at 4:00 p.m. Saturday following a collision with one another yesterday at approximately 11 a.m. PST while conducting exercise maneuvers en route to Hawaii. There were no reported injuries.
"The Royal Canadian Navy will be conducting an investigation into this unfortunate incident in order to determine exactly what happened," said Commodore Bob Auchterlonie, Commander of Canadian Fleet Pacific.
The two warships were conducting towing exercises, which require close-quarters maneuvering, when the incident occurred.
HMCS Algonquin sustained significant damage to her hangar on her port side while HMCS Protecteur sustained damage of a lesser degree to her bow. While the full impact on the ships' future sailing schedules has yet to be determined, HMCS Algonquin will no longer deploy to Asia Pacific region as planned.
A Board of Inquiry will be convened to further investigate the incident and circumstances surrounding it, and will make recommendations as to how to prevent a similar event from occurring in the future. More information about the incident itself will be released when available.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) announced today that a seizure of over 50 kg of cocaine at the Port of Halifax, and destined for Ontario, has resulted in two arrests.
On August 12, 2013, CBSA officers noted anomalies in X-ray images while examining a marine container containing a shipment of tire changers and balancers from Panama. After further examination officers located and seized 40 bricks of hidden cocaine totalling approximately 53.5 kilograms. The Container likely came off Rotterdam Express at Fairview Cove.
The narcotics were turned over to the National Ports Enforcement Team (NPET) which is comprised of the CBSA, RCMP and Halifax Regional Police for further investigation.On August 25, 2013, members of the RCMP conducted an operation in the Vaughan area of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) which resulted in two arrests. Three search warrants were also executed as part of this ongoing investigation.

Halifax Shipyard announced what the revamped shipyard would look lie last week, and released some renderings to go along with it.
the plan calls for an entirely new building, featuring a new Assembly Hall with a Steel Assembly area containing a 12m wide panel line and sub-assemblies area, and 11 Unit Assembly /pre-outfit/ 3D unit workstations for pre assembling components. as well as an dedicated paint area used for painting of outfitted Units.
An Ultra Hall (47m high, 408m long) used for Block and Mega Block assembly and Painting will also be constructed.
As seen in the rendering bellow, the launching system will be very different. A land level Construction Point will be constructed in the area around pier 8 at which final ship erection would occur prior to launch. this will abut the existing pier 9. A launch barge area in which a barge would be positioned to receive the complete ship, along with A serviced outfitting pier (165m in length) located alongside the ship erection platform
this would suggest that the existing launching ways will be removed, meaning Hero Class #9 will be the last vessel launched from them.

Art review: Ginny Bishton at Richard Telles Fine Art
By Christopher KnightArt Critic
Jan. 24, 2010 10:55 AM PT
Eleven new drawings by Ginny Bishton continue her ongoing interest in tightly compressed images that do a 180 in your head, expanding far beyond immediate expectations. Numbered patterns burn holes in logical systems, rigorously rectilinear formats turn into impossibly curved spaces and sheets of graph paper covered with pencil notations obliterated by inked markings – vertical, horizontal and diagonal – become fields on which empty space looks like a gestural scrawl.
At Richard Telles Fine Art, Bishton manages a variety of engaging Conceptual maneuvers; they pay hommage to such forebears as Bruce Nauman, Sol LeWitt and Hanne Darboven.
The scrawl commemorates the obsessive counting and classifying works made by Darboven, who died last year at 67. A nod to Nauman's sculptures of knee-prints makes a witty genuflection. And a four-part grid turns a classic LeWitt into a profusion of green beans – a garden of earthly delights.
Three pen-and-ink crosshatch drawings are marvels of formal and conceptual thoroughness. Rectangular patches are arranged as if the strips were piling on one another, although close perusal reveals that none in fact overlaps. The straight, linear formats are interrupted by circular spaces, while other optical illusions likewise appear to contradict the structure. Bishton has a marvelous way with fully integrating seemingly incompatible elements, while maintaining their independent integrity.

title: Android-maps-utils bindings for Xamarin.Android apps
comments: True
---
### Bindings for android-maps-utils for Xamarin.Android apps

Many developers use Google Maps for Android (Google Play Services) to display maps and related content in Xamarin-based Android apps.

Javascript SDK for Google Maps has clustering and other neat stuff built in. Android Maps SDK has none of this included.
However, there is a solution!

<!--more-->

To address this problem, Google Maps team shared so called `android-maps-utils` extensions to the Android maps SDK which allows you do following:

- Marker clustering — handles the display of a large number of points
- Heat maps — display a large number of points as a heat map
- IconGenerator — display text on your Markers (see screenshot to the right)
- Poly decoding and encoding — compact encoding for paths, interoperability with Maps API web services
- Spherical geometry — for example: computeDistance, computeHeading, computeArea
- KML — displays KML data (Caution: Beta!)
- GeoJSON — displays and styles GeoJSON data

(Please read more on the official website: [http://googlemaps.github.io/android-maps-utils/](http://googlemaps.github.io/android-maps-utils/))

Down the road you can find steps and details how the bindings for quite complex java library could be created and how these fresh bindings for Android Maps utils could be consumed in the Xamarin Android application.

**To get to the how to part, scroll down**

### Existing Xamarin.Android bindings
Particularly I was interesting about clustering, as the application has to display around 500 markers in a dense area.

Looking for existing solution to the problem, one can find [bindings made by Øystein Heimark](https://github.com/oystehei/MapsUtilityDemo). But these are quite old. To practice and to get the freshest code, I've created the updated bindings:

[github.com/alexsorokoletov/Xamarin.Android.Maps.Utils](https://github.com/alexsorokoletov/Xamarin.Android.Maps.Utils)

### Creating java library bindings for Xamarin.Android

There is an official guide from Xamarin:
[Binding a Java Library - Consuming Java libraries from C#](https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/advanced_topics/java_integration_overview/binding-a-java-library/)

Following the guide, one can sometimes see warnings or erros on the bindings.
For example,
`/GoogleMapsUtilityBinding/obj/Debug/generated/src/Com.Google.Maps.Android.Geojson.GeoJsonLineStringStyle.cs(118,118): Error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'IGeoJsonStyle' does not exist in the namespace 'Com.Google.Maps.Android.Geojson'. Are you missing an assembly reference? (CS0234) (GoogleMapsUtilityBinding)`

To fix this error all you need is to manually [edit Metadata.xml file and introduce these changes](https://github.com/alexsorokoletov/Xamarin.Android.Maps.Utils/blob/master/Transforms/Metadata.xml#L15)

As you proceed, there will be a few more errors and several warnings. Fixes for them are documented in the [Metadata.xml file](https://github.com/alexsorokoletov/Xamarin.Android.Maps.Utils/blob/master/Transforms/Metadata.xml)

More than helpful were comments and examples from [brendanzagaeski](https://github.com/brendanzagaeski) with different approaches to different java-to-csharp binding problems. Links to these examples are in the end of the page.

### JAR/AAR dependencies
Case with `android-maps-utils` is interesting because the jar/aar file depends on google-play-services.jar and android-support-v4.jar.
Xamarin suggests to add these jar files as ReferenceJar items by setting Build Action to ReferenceJar. What is missing here for a successful compilation is a C# side of these reference jars. After adding the jars you need to add a Nuget packages or Xamarin components with C# bindings for these jars.
With that change,C# bindings generator will generate correct code an generated C# code will be compilable, because you already have C# part of the referenced libraries.

One of the questions one might have - which version of google-play-services.jar should we use?
[The android-maps-utils library is compiled against google-play-services 7.8.0](https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils/blob/master/library/build.gradle#L19), so, basically, we can use anything >=7.8.0

### How to use this library (examples)

On C# side what you need to do is following:
0) reference the bindings
1) instantiate cluster manager

{% highlight csharp %}
//on MapReady
_clusterManager = new ClusterManager(this, _map);
_map.SetOnCameraChangeListener(_clusterManager);
_map.SetOnMarkerClickListener(_clusterManager);
{% endhighlight %}

If you already have custom handlers to map CameraChange/MarkerClick, you can do following (specifics of Xamarin.Android events subscriptions)
{% highlight csharp %}
private void map_MarkerClick(object sender, GoogleMap.MarkerClickEventArgs e)
{
    var handled = _clusterManager.OnMarkerClick(e.Marker);
    if (handled)
        return;
    //your custom code
}
private void map_CameraChange(object sender, GoogleMap.CameraChangeEventArgs e)
{
    _clusterManager.OnCameraChange(e.Position);
    //your custom code
}

{% endhighlight %}

2) implement custom IClusterItem object
{% highlight csharp %}
public class ServiceClusterItem : Java.Lang.Object, IClusterItem
{
    public ServiceClusterItem(ServiceItem serviceItem)
    {
        Position = new LatLng(serviceItem.Lat, serviceItem.Lon);
    }

    public ServiceClusterItem(IntPtr handle, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer)
        : base(handle, transfer)
    {

    }

    public LatLng Position
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}
{% endhighlight %}
3) add items to the clusterer and enjoy
{% highlight csharp %}
var clusterItem = new ServiceClusterItem(...);
_clusterManager.AddItem(clusterItem);
{% endhighlight %}

What if you have another version of Google Play Services already linked to your main project?
In that case fork the repo and remove references that it has currently and then add references to the same packages and versions you have in your main project.

Q: Parsing XML with java - does not get all xml values Trying to parse xml to get "CreDtTm" tag value from this XML (pasted not the whole):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">

            <CreDtTm>2020-10-15T18:15:33</CreDtTm>
            <NbOfTxs>3</NbOfTxs>

                    <OrgId>
                        <Othr>
                            <Id>40100</Id>
                            <SchmeNm>
                                <Cd>COID</Cd>
                            </SchmeNm>
                        </Othr>
                    </OrgId>
                </Id>
            </InitgPty>
        </GrpHdr>

However, getting not all values

Here is the method for parsing and editing xml (writing back to XML file is skipped atm)
 public void modifyXmlFile(String filePath, Map<String, String> tagValuesToChange) {
    try {
      DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
      DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
      Document document = docBuilder.parse(filePath);
      XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();

      for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : tagValuesToChange.entrySet()) {
        Node node = (Node) xpath.compile(entry.getKey()).evaluate(document, XPathConstants.NODE); //**This becomes null**
        node.setTextContent(entry.getValue());
      }

Basically  tag is not found and node variable is set to null.
Not sure why? Can you help me out?

A: Running you sample leads me to believe your key in the tagValuesToChange Map is the name of the tag and not a valid XPath expression.  Try using //CreDtTm as the key to your map, and see if that works.
I was able to reproduce the NullPointerException when I used the name of the tag as the Map key.  Using the XPath expression I suggested, the code was able to find the node and update the text content.
