India's golden triangle is a tourist circuit which connects the national capital Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. The Golden Triangle is so called because of the triangular shape formed by the locations of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan on a map. The trips usually start in Delhi moving south to the site of Taj Mahal at Agra, then west, to the desert landscapes of Rajasthan. The famous Golden Triangle probably attracts more tourists than the rest of India put together. The majestic Red Fort, the breathtaking beauty of the Taj along with the Rajput splendour of the "Pink City makes this tour very popular among tourist from all over the world. Probably, no other theme tour besides Golden Triangle Tour can provide you with a full-fledged glimpse of India's royal and cultural heritage in such a short span.

Home MY HEALTH MY RESPONSIBILITYMy stomach fat just wont go. why?
by Brenda Midambaon December 14, 2015 December 14, 2015 2 Comments on My stomach fat just wont go. why?
But what if you haven't tried everything ? or rather what if you think you have been trying everything but in real sense you have been trying all the wrong things? when I wrote THIS I couldn't stress the fact that all the pointers I shared ,were they pointers? I don't know but hey!… were like your guideline to getting a toned tummy. But I still see people here and there approaching stomach fat the wrong way. no amount of crunches will give you a flat stomach, that is the truth. You can not burn stomach fat with stomach exercises alone, that is the bitter truth my friend. You have to approach stomach fat the right way , crunches and all those tummy exercises will simply build muscle beneath the tummy fat and that I am sure ain't what we want . so include cardio exercises in your routine to burn fat and eat clean . there is no short cut, have a fruitful week full of God's blessings.
Thanks Couch Health and Fitness. Always a pleasure reading ua articles.


Year-round, whole-home comfort can seem like a far-off possibility when trying to decide which home comfort system is best for the conditions in Abilene. Making that decision impacts not only your comfort, but your wallet as well, so making the most informed decision possible is critical to keeping your home comfortable for a long time.
Calling it a heat pump can seem a bit confusing when the system actually takes care of both your heating and cooling needs, but could easily be the all-in-one system you've been searching for. Heat pumps function like refrigerators in that they use electricity to pump refrigerant to different areas to transfer heat. The main difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump is that heat pumps transfer heat from the outside air and air conditioners expel heat out of the home.
Heat pumps can be the best choice for energy efficient heating and cooling year-round, and because it can handle both functions, all that is required is a simple change of the system's mode. Because heat pumps don't have to create heat, it makes them much more efficient as well.
So how can you take advantage of a heat pump in Abilene?
When the time is right to do away with your current heating and cooling system, a heat pump could be the right answer for you and your comfort needs. When used in the right environment, heat pumps are a great all-in-one system that can handle your year-round comfort needs easily. If you'd like to find out more about heat pumps and how they fit in to the Abilene environment, give Abilene Air-Tech Inc a call at 325-200-4667.

Unnamed (northeast of Blunt Mountain)
Au; Cu; Pb; Zn
This site represents five occurrences northeast of Blunt Mountain. The occurrences are in sections 34 and 35, T. 77 S., R. 93 E., of the Copper River Meridian, and range from about 400 feet in elevation to sealevel, and about 1.2-1.7 miles northeast of the highest point on Blunt Mountain . The coordinates are for the approximate center of the approximately half-mile-square area that contains these occurrences. The site corresponds to locs. 8 and 9 in Berg (1972 [I 684]), loc. 142 in Elliott and others (1978), and locs. 27a-b and 28a-c in Karl (1992). The location is accurate within 0.1 mile.
The country rocks in the area of these occurrences are recrystallized, Upper Triassic conglomerate and overlying rhyolite and felsic tuff (Berg, 1972). The rocks are complexly folded and faulted, and were regionally metamorphosed to greenschist-grade phyllite and semischist in Late Cretaceous time.
The deposits consist of quartz fissure veins up to 30 feet thick and 100 feet long that contain clots of pyrite, galena, and chalcopyrite; and of sheared metarhyolite containing sparsely disseminated sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and galena (Berg, 1972; Karl, 1992). Variously mineralized samples of veins and country rocks contained up to 0.34 ppm Au, 2.5 ppm Ag, and 0.5% Cu (Karl, 1992, locs. 27, 28) . Soil samples contained as much as 0.27 ppm Au, and detectable Ag.
The fissure veins probably are Late Cretaceous.

The Helvetica Font Family is part of the Linotype Originals. Helvetica is one of the most famous and popular typefaces in the world. It lends an air of lucid efficiency to any typographic message with its clean, no-nonsense shapes. The original typeface was called Neue Haas Grotesk, and was designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger for the Haas'sche Schriftgiesserei (Haas Type Foundry) in Switzerland. In 1960 the name was changed to Helvetica (an adaptation of Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland). Over the years, the Helvetica family was expanded to include many different weights, but these were not as well coordinated with each other as they might have been. In 1983, D. Stempel AG and Linotype re-designed and digitized Neue Helvetica and updated it into a cohesive font family. At the beginning of the 21st Century, Linotype again released an updated design of Helvetica, the Helvetica World typeface family. This family is much smaller in terms of its number of fonts, but each font makes up for this in terms of language support. Helvetica World supports a number of languages and writing systems from all over the globe.

Why are kiln dried sofa frames better than air-dried or any other kind? Kiln dried sofa frames are considered a safe bet that your sofa frame is strong enough to last you a long time for several reasons. However, before we go into those reasons, you have to remember that it is not just important to look for kiln dried frames, but kiln-dried frames.

Thoughts on Double Bed Sofa Bed Lavenham Sofa Best Living Room Designs For Small Spaces Tine K Coffee Table Dfs Grey Fabric Sofa Silk Farmhouse Rooms To Go Microfiber Couch?


In the digital world we live in, we spend a TON of time work on computers and mobile devices. Screens aren't just part of our work life–they are how we interact with most people during the course of the workday. This isn't a natural experience for us and it's now how we were designed to operate, which means we must take care or we'll inevitably run into issues with our health.
I can tell those days that have been more "screen heavy" because my head is a little fuzzy and my eyes are sore. At times, my back and shoulders are even tensed up. I've been experimenting with other desk setups to minimize some of these issues, but I'll have to wait until travel/conference season is over before I get any meaningful results.
Research shows that computers and how we use them pose a variety of risks to our health, especially around posture and vision. The University of Pittsburgh says that sitting in awkward positions, staying in one position for too long and performing repetitive motions can lead to unnatural stress on the wrists, shoulders and back. Over time, fatigue and overuse can strain muscles and joints and lead to more costly health issues.
I can still remember an employee I had years ago that ended up with a nasty looking "hump" on his wrist because of his desk setup. He ended up straining the actual bone in his arm because of repetitive, incorrect posture and needed surgery to "reset" himself. It was very intense and surprising, because you wouldn't think that simply sitting the wrong away would lead to that kind of problem.
From a visual perspective, we can see light on a variety of wavelengths, including blue light, which is similar to the light we get from the sun. If you've ever used a computer for a long period of time and had tired eyes afterward, blue light is most likely to blame, according to the American Academy of Opthalmology. And if you spend too much time looking at a screen that emits blue light just before you go to bed, it can interfere with your rest by tricking your brain into staying awake.
Sitting at a computer for extended periods of time is incredibly taxing on the body and can lead to obesity and even heart issues. Solutions for computer ergonomics problems range from very simple to complex, but the bottom line is that they must be counteracted. The solutions below can help solve for various factors in the equation, such as vision strain or more physical components, but the best computer ergonomics strategy involves a variety of approaches.
Set alarms: Instead of staring at a screen without breaks for long periods of time, set alarms every 20 or 30 minutes to remind you to look away, blink and rest your eyes briefly before returning to work.
To read the last four recommendations, check out this post on the Flexispot website.
Have you ever had eye, back, or neck issues because of computer use? What was the experience like?

Wellness as an employee benefit has expanded in the last year or two to include more than just the physical aspect–it now wraps in financial, emotional, and other types of wellness as well. That's a good thing, because 68% of workers rely on their workplace coverage for their families' financial security, according to the Guardian Workplace Benefits Study.
One topic that we don't often think about, yet impacts our employees heavily, is personal finance.
According to this article from the Washington Post, approximately one-third of your employees are living paycheck-to-paycheck. In other words, without this week's paycheck coming in, the employee and their family would be in an immediate financial crisis.
The first response for many leaders is, "Yeah, so what?" However, this can be an opportunity to impact the productivity and engagement of your staff, so there's value in learning more about this issue.

Today's post is a personal one about my recent experience quitting caffeine and all of the associated side effects. Not so much about HR, but definitely an interesting look at the experience!
One month ago I quit caffeine. My main delivery method was diet cokes (that's soda for those of you outside the Southeastern United States). I quit for multiple reasons, and the experience was what I expected in some ways and very much different in others. The thing that hit me since I quit (more on that experience below) was that those of us in the workforce don't put much of a stigma on drinking caffeine. This experience has helped me to truly see the grip it had on me and the withdrawals were quite… um, intense. I don't know that I'll sway you to try quitting yourself, but stick around for the story!
Those people that know me know that my poison of choice is Diet Mountain Dew. Well, it was, anyway. I haven't decided if I'll ever go back to a more moderate intake, but for now I'm trying to live a decaffeinated life. I realized this summer that I was drinking about a two liter a day, and I knew it couldn't go on forever. I am pretty healthy, eat well, and exercise regularly. But the mental slumps and anguish without caffeine combined with bouts of insomnia helped spur my decision to move away from the green juice.
Now that our third is nearing a year old, I was already going pretty heavy when he was born, so that wasn't an excuse any more. In addition to that, I had a lingering foot injury from a previous race and poor sleep quality, so I knew I needed to make a decision.
My wife and I were at a funeral for a family member one afternoon and I overheard someone say, "Look at her sister! She's 92 years old and still fit as can be. If the others had avoided smoking they would still be around too." In addition, we attended yet another funeral the week prior for a friend of the family with three small children left behind. The death was a result of health complications and I realized how quickly something awful could happen to any of us. It's amazing how often life events such as these cause us to stop and think about the bigger picture, right?
I decided on a Sunday that I was going to start my taper. I figured cold turkey would probably kill me, so I wanted to ease off and slowly get through the withdrawals with as little pain as possible. I did enough research to know that there were headaches and mental fog to be expected no matter the method used. I wanted to lessen the impact to my work and family, so I planned to taper by a few ounces a day over the course of two weeks.
Then came day three. And boy did it ever. I'm not sure if I'll always remember the day, because our brain has a setting deep inside that blocks out painful memories to protect our fragile sanity. Suffice to say it was rough.
And why break the cycle? Day four felt terrible. Day five I had back pains and insomnia—seriously. Back pain. That's what clued me in to the thought that this is more than just something to keep me alert in the early morning hours. It's affecting my system in ways I can't even imagine.
One thing that helped was recording the experience. I kept a journal throughout the withdrawal process, noting each day and what I felt.
The most amazing thing is that I can now sit for thirty or forty five minutes at a time without fuzzing out or my thoughts getting hazy. I've always had a hard time sitting and focusing for long periods of time, and I attributed that to my naturally high energy. Apparently some of that was due to caffeine! In addition, I can actually recall what people say during those time periods. I'm still a high-energy person and always have been. I just realize now that the caffeine was masking my true energy in a hyper state of random thoughts with no ability to focus. I'm amazed that I have been able to work as a writer and researcher in the past year with this monkey on my back, and I'm glad to say that each day feels better and better in terms of focus.
My sleep is better than ever, and I am falling to sleep at more natural times and waking up feeling more refreshed than any time I can remember.
We freely offer this drug. Heck, we usually pay for employees to consume it. The rationale for many is that caffeinated employees are more productive. Some studies have shown the opposite to be true: when the caffeine "high" and the resulting "low" are balanced out, there isn't much impact. (Note, I found some of that data while I was quitting as a way to encourage myself, but I can't for the life of me find the study now that I'm writing this post!).
Anyway, whether it's a call for wellness or an opportunity to reset your own caffeine clock, I encourage you to try living without it for a month and see how it affects you. It amazed me at the changes I felt weeks later.
Love to hear from some of you! Are you junkies like I was? Are you caffeine free? Why? How do you feel?

If I told you that 76% of your employees were stressed about something, wouldn't you want to know what was going on? I mean, after all, when I'm stressed about something, I am usually not very "together" when it comes to critical thinking and other complex tasks.
According to the Washington Post, approximately one-third of your employees are living paycheck-to-paycheck. The first response for many leaders is, "Yeah, so what?" However, this can be an opportunity to impact the productivity and engagement of your staff, so there's value in learning more about this issue.
Whatever the case, the problem is real, and there's something you can do about it. Click through to read my post on the Brandon Hall Group blog and learn what to do when your employees need financial help.

This revolutionary idea is going to astound everyone.
You can't invest and save for the future when you're buried in debt.
It's not just the millenials walking out of college with massive debt. The baby boomers are pushing back retirement because they have too many obligations to stop working. And unless they are total losers, they're probably making more money than they were as entry level peons. Yet they are still in debt. Weird, huh?
Paying people more money isn't going to solve the problem by itself.
Here's a crazy idea: Spend less than you make.
Yeah, but [insert excuse here].
I've been there. It's hard. But it's necessary. I haven't lived the perfect life, but I have learned a few things via my own experiences and those I've observed in others (friends, family, employees, etc.).
I have a great job. It wasn't always this way. The day after I got married, I sent in my offer letter to start my first "real" job. I signed up for a whopping $9/hr data entry gig. It was torture. I hated it. And I knew that there was no way we would be able to survive and pay our bills.
So I studied, worked my tail off, and made myself more valuable to my employer. Then my wife got a job. We scrimped and saved. Looking back now I have no idea how we made it. It was very tight, and we didn't live extravagantly. We didn't have cable. We went without internet access. We cooked almost all of our meals. We carpooled to work. We really tried to keep things as tight as possible, because at that point we were living the paycheck-to-paycheck nightmare.
And, yet, I made sure to put money into my 401k at work.
Why? Because I took five minutes to pull up a financial calculator and run the numbers. As a 21 year old if I just put in $100 per month (which is a LOT for someone making $9/hr) from age 21 to age 60, I'd have over a million dollars in my retirement retirement fund. And that's assuming I'm such a loser that I never make any more money than the $9/hr and that my company matches 0% of the contributions (the majority match around 4%).
But then I found another job (and took a pay cut voluntarily so I could get into HR). They didn't match anything, so I didn't put any money in. That's also around the time that my wife and I were saving money like crazy for an adoption. We were determined not to go into debt, because one little misstep could lead us into a financial death spiral. At least if we were cash flowing the expenses we could bail if things didn't go as expected.
Recently I was putting together some data for a benchmarking tool, and it all related to our 401k plan, how employees utilize it, etc. I quickly noticed something. We basically match 6% if an employee puts in 7%, so there's a big incentive to use it.
However, some of our staff have never even touched the 401k, despite the offer. For a hypothetical person making $100k (enough to cover the "basics," I would say), that is an additional $6k that we're ready to give them if only they would commit their own dollars to the account.
People get performance-based pay increases on a fairly regular cycle. 99% of the staff don't touch their 401k contribution percentage at that time, even though they could put half of the increase into the account and never even notice it was gone.
This isn't a scientific study, but I'd be willing to bet that it's a fair approximation of the overall workforce. Some people make 401k contributions a priority, and others don't. It's a personal choice we all have to make for ourselves.
With regard to the article that Laurie mentioned, there are times that families need to dip into the 401k for extreme emergencies. But the only time that is a truly "extreme" emergency is when you're going to face foreclosure/bankruptcy and lose everything. That's a personal choice, and the only comment I have here is to caution you to discern what is a true emergency (a child needs a medical procedure) from what is merely an urgent non-emergency (your car breaks down and needs $2,000 in repairs).
The thing to remember is that when you take money from your 401k, you're losing up to 40% of it (depending on your tax bracket). The IRS charges you your tax rate plus a 10% penalty to get your hands on that money.
Ever since my children were born we've had a small emergency fund to help us in case a true emergency arises. When I had a car accident in 2011 and totaled my vehicle, we were able to shop around and find a suitable replacement without having to rush out and pick up a car payment. Again, I'm not the expert and don't have all of the answers, but this is how we live and it has been a relief for us. The more of a buffer you build between you and "life," the less chance of an emergency derailing your financial future.
I'm not a 401k or financial expert. I can't speak to every person's unique situation. But I have learned a good bit about behaviors and personal finance in my lifetime. People make their choices about priorities and then need to live with them. Decide to put 0% into your 401k so you can get a new car with a $450/month payment (the US average)? That's your call, but don't look at me when you decide it's time to retire.
In case you're wondering, for a 40 year old, that 450/month payment would be worth about $450k by age 60. Hope you enjoy the car!
When I'm throwing out these examples or telling my own story, you need to see these not as disconnected, random events. These are very real examples, and many of your employees are living out financial train wrecks. 40% of the employees in your organization (statistically) are living paycheck to paycheck. They can't afford to take time off, relax, de-stress, etc.
Stop and think for a second. If you were getting calls from creditors, facing financial issues, etc. at home, how productive do you think you'd be at work?
I'd love to hear some thoughts in the comments below. Am I the only one who thinks that employees need to get their personal finance affairs in order? Any comment that doesn't contribute to the discussion in some way will not be published. Attacks and foul language are not allowed here.

Recently the organizers for the inaugural UAB Innovations in Wellness Conference reached out to me to see if I would be interested in attending. It sounds like a unique event with some great insights, and I am excited about the opportunity to check out this new conference.
Even better, I can take you with me.

Will I be employable once I finish my degree?
It is important to prepare for employment before you graduate. Employers are more interested in what you can DO for them than what you know. Your employability will be determined by the skills you develop during your time at University and the way in which you prepare yourself for the transition from University to work. Planning for this transition needs to start at the beginning of your course, not the end, and involves making sure you accumulate a wide range of practical experiences throughout your time at Uni.
Some experiences that you can pursue to develop your skills base include: obtain a casual or part-time job; join a student society and assist with running functions or activities; undertake voluntary community work. These sorts of activities will not only enhance your employability but also be valuable in helping you to take control of your own career goals and development. We have now introduced a Careers and Employability Award to help prepare students for job applications and the transition into the workplace. Your experiences that you gain during your degree can go towards the completion of this award.

Q: Issue when I resize the browser window So this is our website http://www.greeceinsiders.com
if you resize the window you will see that the menu at the top-right gets out of the top-bar and it is ugly. How can I fix that? Can I play with the position of the  list?
Bonus: If anyone visits Greece he gets a free experience for helping us! :)

A: An easy fix is making the following changes in your CSS:
#top-bar > .menu {
    color: #FFFFFF;

    /* float: right; */ /*float: right removed */
    height: 48px;
    margin-right: 40px;
    width: 490px;

    position: absolute; /* these are new additions */
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
}

A: It's the pageTitle element that's causing it to get out of shape.
It seems like an empty element - can you just remove it?

After 30 years in the media business, here and in the UK, I find myself out of work.
For the last six months I was the Acting Editor of Bermuda's daily newspaper, The Royal Gazette, and before that I was the Assistant Editor and News Editor.
Before that is a very long story….
Blogging, therefore, is a new venture for me (as you can tell by my blog site…) but I want to continue posting my thoughts as I did when writing editorials for The Royal Gazette.
I hold no fear and give no favours (one of my mantras when at the newspaper) and will commentate, criticise or praise as I see fit.
Over time I hope I will be able to improve this site – in terms of its looks and interactivity, but at the moment I am finding my way, so please be patient with me.
It came as quite a shock to be suddenly out of work and I really appreciate the many messages of support I received. It made the pill easier to swallow.
As a journalist, what was interesting was not making the news (which I did for a day – more than 15 minutes!) it was the way I made the news.
No reporters came round, none phoned. Two contacted me via FB or Twitter and then just took what I had written anyway when I declined to comment. Apparently one news outfit made allegations about me, but never sought my comment on them.
While FB and Twitter can be a journalist's dream, I was surprised at how it was being used. Frankly, it was lazy journalism.
But perhaps, at least in local newspapers, that is the way it is going. Cutbacks and the need to post an eye watering profit margin are squeezing journalism. It is just a shame that there is no-one to tell the modern young journalist that there is nothing wrong with getting on their bike to get a story….
In time I may give more details about my departure from The Royal Gazette, although time does heal. So we will see.
In the meantime I am looking forward to writing again and getting away from the all-consuming HR work, the pointless meetings, the aggravation, the stress and the interference.
And, I am really enjoying time with my family – real, quality time.

Q: What is the best practice using Android Logger I am new to Android. Please help me to know about the best practice of using Android Logger. Do I need to keep a file somewhere in android and keep on writing logs into it, or writing of logs into file is not necessary. What could be the best practice.
My real intention is this.
Once we go live, if our customers come back and tell us that something crashed or does not work in their android , then how do we debug ?
In the web application, I would ask my server administrator to provide the log files. What do we do with the android application when there is no server error, but something failed in the phone. Is there a way to get logs from the phone.
Thanks
Ravi

A: If you are planning to publish/distribute your application then storing logs in a file is possible but as per my opinion better not a better solution. You can configure online tools from your app.
Catch all sever exceptions and sending all the details regarding that exception. And configure any one logging tool into you application.
You can see log4j http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ or ACRA http://acra.ch/ or http://www.crittercism.com/

A: Depends on what you need, you need logging for semi debugging your application than you can easily use the buildin Log functionality. Via Logcat you can easiliy see the logs.
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidLogging/article.html
//Declare a tag
String TAG= "SomeActivity";

//Log
Log.d(TAG, "Hello World"); //debug
Log.e(TAG, "Hello World"); //error

If you want to have logging of multiple devices when you have released your app. Use a dedicated Log Framework (e.g. Log4J) and upload it to a server.

A: The Android logger's (android.util.Log) output goes to a console that you don't have to maintain. You don't actually have to manage files, just outputs.
You have 5 categories of log:

*

*verbose: use Log.v(tag, message)

*debug: use Log.d(tag, message)

*info: use Log.i(tag, message)

*warning: use Log.w(tag, message)

*error: use Log.e(tag, message)
For example:
Log.e("MyActivity", "Oops... caught this exception: " + exception.getMessage());

The LogCat console (this is its name) allows you filtering by log level. This is a ceil filtering. For example, if you filter by 'warnings', you will see all warnings and errors, but not verbose, debug and info messages.
You'll find more details here in the official documentation.

A: One tip (if you are using Eclipse, and not directly related to question) - Eclipse is very unreliable for viewing logs. For apparently no reason it completely stops displaying logs every now and then. A simple solution is to use command line tools for viewing logs. On Linux you can do :
$adb logcat MyTag:D *:S

If you want to capture logs to a file you can do:
$adb logcat -d > logcat.txt.

Hope this helps!

A: My real intention is this.
Once we go live, if our customers come back and tell us that something crashed or does not work in their android , then how do we debug ?
In the web application, I would ask my server administrator to provide the log files. What do we do with the android application when there is no server error, but something failed in the phone. Is there a way to get logs from the phone.

A: If you use file for storage logs - it possible problem with performance if the file become big. So you need clean file in time.
As for me best solution use firebase or https://fabric.io/.
We use fabric.io.
Also you can use some wrapper for default Log class. This one https://github.com/JakeWharton/hugo for example


Insurance may not sound like the most exciting of trades, but staff are thrilled to work at JLT Risk Solutions, part of the UK's largest broker. The London-based firm designs insurance plans for businesses including shipping and property, and also insures against crises such as kidnapping. Another area is reinsurance — helping other insurance companies to spread the risk of providing cover.
The rewards are excellent: the company performed well over the past two years, and every employee was given £1,500 in shares.
There is a flexible benefit scheme called Choices, which offers options such as medical insurance, holidays to be bought or sold for their equivalent in cash, health screens, financial services and gym discounts.
Reflexology is offered at the three sites, and there is a health day of talks and gifts each year, together with a range of company athletics clubs. JLT is launching a new bonus scheme to compensate an employee's family when work infringes on home life. New parents benefit from a 15% bonus for mothers returning to work, and 65 days' unpaid leave for adoptive parents.
Training is good, with careers advice for new recruits, senior managers' courses and Client Gateways, a tailored three-day course for high-potential employees which includes exercises such as racing a 35ft yacht in the Solent. The training department has a £480,000 budget for 2002 and gives about 15 hours a year to each member of staff.
Those who pass insurance qualifications are paid £300 for each of the 10 stages, plus £2,000 for completing them all.
The company bar is used to help staff celebrate with family Christmas parties, and theme nights. There is a summer ball and, last year, fireworks launched from a barge on the Thames. There are also clubs for travel, film, theatre, wine and football.
Charity work is encouraged, with 35 paid hours annually for voluntary work and a partnership with a nearby primary school.


I shared this on social media recently after struggling with whether or not I should. After having this for a while, I felt like I shouldn't just keep it under lock and key in secrecy. I'm certainly not "showing off" so if I come off that way, it is surely not intended. I obtained it along with an old Japanese drum magazine that details and documents JHB's full Green Sparkle kit in great detail. The serial # and date are correct. I suppose it could be just "any" old Ludwig drum, but I choose to believe it's the real deal. I'm blessed and so very lucky to have ended up with this.
So, I've kept this to myself for a few months but I feel like sharing it now. A few months ago, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented itself to me. It's a long story, but let's just say this whole situation/transaction was good for everyone involved, I believe. What you're seeing is a 16x16 Ludwig floor tom that once belonged to John Henry Bonham. Yes, THAT John Henry Bonham. It was part of his second Ludwig kit that he received in 1971. It is said that this kit was the one he used for almost ALL of Zeppelin's recordings. It now resides with me. I want to thank two very good fellas that I'm proud to have as friends (not named here for their privacy) for helping make this drum's journey pass through my hands for safekeeping for the rest of my days. To many, it's just a badly faded old drum, but anyone who knows me, knows how much this means to me. A true piece of rock n' roll history.
Fantastic! How's it sound? Were the edges ever trued or redone when Bonham was playing it?
Would love to hear more.....what's it's provenance? Anything owned by Bonham would have of course a lot of interest but a chain of custody is not always easy to prove on a drum and I know you are convinced but for your sake, history's sake, and quite honestly the drums value, how did this come into your possession?
if you are going to start this story, you have to finish it......................come on!!
Nice candidate for a rewrap! To cool man.
Where's the rest of the kit?
Any Japanese translators on DFO?
Congrats Jamie!!! A world wide search should be initiated to locate the rest of the kit!!!
This drum is bone-stock with no modifications. It honestly doesn't tune up very well. It has one tuning that sounds good, high. It lived in that tuning most of its life. If you tune it down, it rumbles and rattles like crazy.
The only provenance I have quite frankly is the magazine from Japan showing/detailing JHB's kit with date stamps and serial numbers. The chain of custody is easy. JHB->JHB employee->personal friend of mine in drum industry->me. I'm not naming names here for privacy reasons, (this is searchable on the web) but I'm confident in the drum's story. As to the drum's value, who knows? It won't be for sale while I'm alive, so it really doesn't matter to me. My investment in the drum is extremely minimal considering the entire story of me acquiring it (that I'm not going to share on a public forum right now.) If you know anything about me, you'll be able to figure it all out pretty quickly and easily.
This drum isn't getting a re-wrap. It will sit as-is while I'm living. To my knowledge, the rest of the original kit (there were two identical kits given to JHB with sequential serial numbers) sits in Pat Bonham's home and the other is in the R&R HOF in Cleveland, last I heard.
So which one is missing a floor Tom ?
Also which kit is in the ochletree video ?
Sweet tacos, that is quite the find... enjoy and congratulations on landing such a rare piece of musical history.
That is super-cool, Jamie. Now we both have drums we need to see!
I can't be 100% certain, but this would most likely be the floor tom from the Ocheltree "Trust Your Ears" video from years ago. The kit that Mrs. Bonham has is complete as far as I know.
Thank you, very much. I feel quite lucky and blessed to have been given this drum for safekeeping.
Stewart, we have to make this happen soon. Let me know when you have time to connect. I can easily bring this over for you to check out.
Jamie, what drum gem do you have to show?
Can we get the article translated, I can't read Japanese but would love to read the story.
Maybe can post here? Looks like it has some pictures to go with it.
I'm struggling with two very different and very strong emotions right now: jealousy and awe. Congratulations on obtaining a drum I would sell my soul for!
This drum isn't getting a re-wrap. It will sit as-is while I'm living.
That was a joke son!
...the other is in the R&R HOF in Cleveland, last I heard.
That kit at the Hall of Fame was there about 10 years ago for a brief period - it disappeared after a short while back into the fold. Surprisingly few pictures of the kit at the HOF exist, I think I've only ever seen one.
This is an absolutely interesting story, what a fantastic drum you have in your possession. Wasn't there supposed to be a new book coming out about Bonham's drums that included new pictures/details/information about Bonham's drums? What happened with that?
Thanks for the reply's and sharing the story, it really is very cool and I hope to hear and see more about it in the future. The whole story with Bonham being such an influence on so many, unfortunately dying young and at the same time being in arguably the best hard rock band ever just makes a find like this really worthy of a special place in rock n roll history! Congrats to you sir and please continue to share!

Does Brexit actually mean Breakup?
• Updated: 16/05/2017
Opinions expressed in View articles are solely those of the authors.
By Carl Bildt, Sweden's foreign minister from 2006 to October 2014 and Prime Minister from 1991 to 1994
Even after abandoning its empire, the United Kingdom hesitated for decades to join Europe. But it eventually did, and in the past half-century it became a proponent of European Union enlargement, and a champion of key EU policies such as the single market.
But soon it will be one year since the UK decided, by a slim majority, to leave all of that behind. In the past 11 months, we have been told repeatedly that "Brexit means Brexit" – a phrase that leaves one none the wiser as to what Brexit actually means. But now that the UK has invoked Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, the fog has started to lift. The UK has clarified some of its objectives for leaving the bloc, and we can begin to get a sense of how the process will play out over the next few years.
For starters, we know that the divorce will not be easy. Rather than pursuing a Norway- or Turkey-style arrangement, in which the UK would maintain some access to the single market or customs union, British Prime Minister Theresa May has opted for a "hard Brexit." She has made it clear that controlling immigration and leaving the European Court of Justice's jurisdiction are her primary objectives. And with her Conservative Party poised to win a solid majority in the general election on June 8, the UK will almost certainly stay this course.
In its negotiations with the EU, May's government will want to discuss a new UK-EU partnership alongside the terms of the divorce. But, so far, the European Council has furnished its chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, with a mandate only for the divorce stage of the process. It will not expand that mandate to include talks on a future UK-EU partnership until the first stage nears completion.
Moreover, the remaining 27 EU member states' finance ministries are demanding that the UK settle its financial obligations to the bloc, lest they get saddled with the UK's bill. There will be haggling over what the UK owes; but, as a matter of principle, the EU can hardly budge much on this issue.
Thus, one can be virtually certain that the UK will formally leave the EU by the end of March 2019, and that it will not have a final agreement on a new partnership in hand. Barring a separate agreement on some kind of transitional arrangement, the UK could be heading for a brutal exit: new tariffs, severed institutional relationships, and diplomatic tensions.
On the other hand, with such an agreement, the UK could leave with a reasonable divorce settlement that includes guiding principles for a new UK-EU partnership, to be discussed in another round of negotiations. Assuming good will on both sides, such negotiations could possibly be concluded by 2022.
Any new partnership that emerges will most likely resemble the arrangement between Ukraine and the EU: something like the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement, along with additional agreements covering complicated sectors such as transportation and agriculture. But while the DCFTA was a boon to Ukraine's economy, a similar deal for the UK would represent a huge step backwards, not least because it would require a new border regime that would disrupt the integrated value chains on which many UK firms depend.
The UK will also have to establish a number of new agencies for regulatory issues that are currently being overseen by the EU, such as nuclear safety, pharmaceutical testing, aviation, and food standards. And, given that one of the UK's top priorities will be to maintain its economic relationship with the EU – no other relationship is as important – whatever new agencies it creates will have to uphold the standards that the EU will demand. Beyond that, the UK will also have to pursue individual arrangements with all of the non-EU countries that are a party to any of the Union's 48 trade agreements with the outside world.
There was once much talk about a post-Brexit free-trade deal between the United States and Britain. But enthusiasm has waned, and one now hears talk of the UK joining some kind of US-EU trade deal at a later date.
Another priority on the negotiating agenda will be the nearly five million EU citizens who have suddenly found themselves on the wrong side of the new divide, and whose immediate rights and future prospects will need to be addressed. Most of these people are in the UK, and most of them make important contributions to the UK's economy. For example, Barclays Bank alone employs 3,000 citizens from other EU countries.
The devil will be in the details. The May government insists that it wants to control immigration, but no one really wants to see new visa barriers in Europe. Either way, many companies will have to start making adjustments, especially in the automobile and aerospace industries, which are highly integrated across borders. In fact, Lloyds of London is already establishing operations within the EU; and Goldman Sachs has announced that it is relocating some jobs away from London.
I sincerely hope that a brutal exit in the spring of 2019 can be avoided, and that the "deep and special partnership" that the UK talks about will materialize by, say, the spring of 2021. But, after some rather acrimonious conversations in recent weeks, one cannot be confident that either outcome will come to pass.
As for the remaining EU member states, we should not lose site of the fact that we need one another. In a couple of decades, we will constitute no more than 4% of the global population. The EU – with a renewed Franco-German axis at its core – will have to deal with its many other challenges, and chart its own future.
The same goes for the UK, which must decide if it still wants to be a part of Europe, albeit outside of the EU; or whether Brexit actually means Breakup.

Q: How to use async/await in webforms page and library code without getting Thread Abort error on Response.Redirect We have a well established ASP.NET webforms site (not project, not MVC, not .NET Core) based on the .NET Framework 4.8. We would like to start integrating some REST based services which quickly gets into HttpClient and async based methods.
I have a test page that appears to "work" but I am concerned the pattern is not set up right based on a "thread abort error" that is being caught.
The idea is, there is a webforms page that has a button on it; the user clicks the button, the code-behind for that button ends up making a REST call to an endpoint to get back some data. That all works.
But, we'd like to shuffle the user to another page at the end of that, so a "redirect" is called. And that ends up causing the "Thread was being aborted" exception.
Here is a fairly representative bit of code:
// test class library
namespace TestLibrary
{
    public class TestClient
    {
        .
        .
        .
        public async Task<SomeResponse> DoAsyncWork()
        {
            // actual code happens to use Flurl which is a light wrapper around HttpClient

            string baseUrl = @"https://api.somewhere.com/v1/testendpoint/";
            string somedata = "some test data";

            var response = await baseUrl
                                     .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
                                     .PostStringAsync(somedata)
                                     .ReceiveJson<SomeResponse>()
                                     .ConfigureAwait(false);

            return response;
        }
    }
    .
    .
    .
}

.
.
.
// in ASP.NET webforms site
// .NET Framework 4.8
// Page directive includes Async="true"
protected async void btnTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TestClient client = new TestClient();
    SomeResponse response = await client.DoAsyncWork();

    // do something with the response (update database, whatever)
    // ... all working so far ...

    // now go to another page
    // (for example, for extended messaging or another "step" in the process)

    // this "works" in that the user is redirected to the right page, but...
    // "Thread was being aborted" error is caught and logged (global exception handler implemented)
     Response.Redirect("somepage.aspx");

}
.
.
.

I realize I could ignore the error (or perhaps rework it so there is no redirect), but what I'm wondering is if there is a "right" way to do this.
I should mention that I have tried passing in a boolean (false) to the Redirect call and that does circumvent the exception (although that does introduce other potential "gotchas"...).
I'm just "concerned" that reason we're getting a Thread Abort error here (and not on other pages that don't do async) is that there's an "uncompleted" task of some sort.  Or that I'm not "waiting" in the right way...
I have read many articles by Stephen Cleary, but if you'll pardon the pun, I am not very clear on structuring up async/await code in ASP.NET webforms ... yet!

Whitmer signs executive orders restructuring DEQ, adding Michigan to US Climate Alliance
Michigan Radio | By Cheyna Roth
Published February 4, 2019 at 6:29 PM EST
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative provides money for habitat restoration, keeping invasive species out of the Lakes, and cleaning up polluted areas.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer is restructuring the state's Department of Environmental Quality.
Whitmer signed several measures Monday, including one that creates new offices in what will become the Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy. The restructuring creates offices of public advocates for environmental justice and clean water, and it creates an interagency environmental justice response team.
Environmental groups called this a great first step.
"We know these things need to happen, and now we have kind of the groundwork to move forward," said Sean Hammond of the Michigan Environmental Council.
Hammond said they're also pleased the new restructuring will eliminate several boards and commissions created by the Legislature and signed by Governor Rick Snyder last year to oversee rulemaking in the DEQ.
"We opposed those panels throughout as really removing the authority from the governor to make decisions and putting it in the hands of these unelected panels," said Hammond. "So this brings it right back to where it should be."
Whitmer also entered Michigan into the U.S. Climate Alliance. That's a bipartisan group of governors from more than a dozen other states focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The goals of the alliance are similar to those of the Paris Agreement, which President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of.
Whitmer pointed to the recent major fluctuation in temperature in Michigan – from polar vortex to mild, spring-like temperatures – as a reason to enter into the alliance.
"No one who's lived here for the last five days can deny that we are in unique times and it calls for more aggressive action," she said. "Thoughtful, informed, but swift action."
Whitmer's office described the executive orders in a press release:
Executive Order 2019-2 restructures the Department of Environmental Quality as the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). The executive order also creates new offices within the department, including the Office of the Clean Water Public Advocate, the Office of the Environmental Justice Public Advocate, and the Interagency Environmental Justice Response Team. Executive Order 2019-3 strengthens the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) as an effort to inform the public about perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), locate contamination, and take action to protect sources of drinking water from these dangerous chemicals. Executive Directive 2019-12 enters Michigan into the U.S. Climate Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of governors from 19 other states that have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Republican Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield has not yet gone over the new measures.

A summer harvest of the Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Assam Black Tea. This tea comes from the TRES No. 8 cultivar of the original Assam tea plant, which was first cultivated in 1920s by the Japanese. These fully oxidized slightly rolled dry leaves have a very dark colour and a strong and intense fruity aroma with dominant tones of pickled cherries and plum jam. The infusion is brown and orange; it has a well balanced, complex and harmonic taste with a robust body, fruity and honey notes and a long-lasting, even pulsating, sugar cane and chocolate aftertaste with no hint of astringency. A warm velvety body satisfies the palate and withstands the test of a dash of milk.
Preparation: we recommend to prepare the tea in 1,5 dcl of water. Put 3 g of tea into a warmed teapot and pour the boiled water, cooled down to 85°C . Let is steep for 1 – 1,5 minute, then pour into a cup. You can repeat the process many times, untill the tea has a good taste. With firther infusions, we slightly increase water temperature and time of steeping.
Refined by the Taiwan Research and Extension Station, this TRES No. 8 Assamica strand presents itself as a large, wonderfully curled and lustrous full leaf; reminiscent of the best Bao Zhongs or Wuyi style oolongs. A wonderfully fruity aroma emanates from the cup that evokes stewed cherries and apricot jam. In the cup, one experiences a round, fruity sweetness that is quite heady and very refreshing. Even more refreshing since it is a spring picking of this strand. Usually, later crops are considered as preferred ones for their fuller body and structure. We think the spring flush deserves its rightful place in our catalog for its superb fruitiness and flowing, refreshing body with very tame tannins.
It may come as a surprise to many tea enthusiasts that only consider Taiwan as a source of magnificent oolongs, but Taiwan has also a long history of producing black teas that date back to the early 1920's. Then under Japanese rule, Yuchi township, situated on the shores of the scenic Sun Moon Lake of central Taiwan, was chosen for it's perfect climate and soil for the growing of Assamica tea bushes. The Japanese objective was then to compete with the striving British commerce that ruled over the trade of black tea. Never could they compete in yield, but, surprisingly enough, the quality of these Taiwanese black teas attracted such attention that it sold very well in New York and London. With the demise of the Japanese at the conclusion of WW II, black tea virtually disappeared from the island. Today, one can easily experience why this tea was successful through the revival of this heritage Assam tea.
