Information about the Wetterhoun
The Wetterhoun (FCI No.221, translated into English as the Frisian Water Dog) is a breed of dog traditionally used as a hunting dog for hunting small mammals and waterfowl in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands. The name of the dog comes from the West Frisian Wetterhûn meaning "water dog." Plural of Wetterhoun is Wetterhounen in Dutch. The breed may also be called the Otterhoun (not to be confused with the Otterhound) or Dutch Spaniel, although it is not a Spaniel-type dog.
The Wetterhoun is a medium sized dog between 55 and 59 centimeters (21.6-23 inches) at the withers. They weigh between 25 and 35 kilo, 55 and 77 pounds]). Their coat is thick and curly except for the head, ears and legs, where the coat is smoother; the water repellant coat is described as having a greasy feel. Coat colour may be solid black or brown, or black with white, or brown with white, with or without white ticking or roan marks. The texture of the coat should not be woolly, as such fur will not resist water. The ears are low set and hang flat to the head, and the tail curls tightly over the back. The breed has an unusual, somewhat grim expression due to the shape of the eyes, which marks it as different from other dog breeds.
The ancestral type of the Wetterhoun was developed at least 400 years ago in the Dutch province of Friesland. The origins of the Wetterhoun are conjectured to be from Gypsy dogs, crossed with an indigenous Frisian dog, perhaps the Old Water Dog, a type which is now extinct. Dogs of this type were kept for the difficult and dangerous hunting of fitch (Mustela putorius) and otter (Lutra lutra) in the water. The dogs were also used for retrieving waterfowl and as watch dogs. Although the dogs almost disappeared during World War II, fanciers were able to bring the breed back through careful breeding, and it is gaining in popularity.
A database is maintained by the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Stabij- en Wetterhounen (Club for the Stabij and Wetterhoun) for understanding pedigrees and computing inbreeding coefficients. Internationally the breed is recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in the Water Dogs section of Group 8. The United Kennel Club recognises the breed in its Gundog Group. The breed is also recognized by a number of minor registries, hunting clubs, and internet-based dog registry businesses and promoted as a rare breed for those seeking an unusual pet.
This breed is an excellent gun dog, effective as both a land and water retriever, however its strong will and natural guarding abilities make early training a requirement. The breed standard describes the breed's temperament as reserved and "an ideal guard-dog". though never aggressive.

Hundreds gather for interfaith vigil in Redmond after New Zealand attack
REDMOND, Wash. -- More than 1,000 people gathered at the Muslim Association of Puget Sound to show support for the Muslim community following the attack in New Zealand.
People of all faiths and backgrounds were welcomed into MAPS for an interfaith vigil, prayers, stories and support.
Nayab Khan attended the service with his two sons. He says one of his childhood friends was among the 50 people killed in the attack in New Zealand.
"I started calling him and he wouldn't pick up the phone and the next day I learned that he was hurt," said Khan. He added the two went to grade school together in Pakistan, and later Khan moved to the United States and his friend moved to Christchurch, New Zealand.
Khan says his friend was like every other person, living an ordinary life, focused on his family and was preparing to attend his son's wedding in a few months. His son was also killed in the attack, according to Khan.
"I saw the video and I saw my friend try to take down the shooter. He was a regular guy. But he ended his life doing something to try to save others," said Khan.
Khan says he hopes being at the Monday night service with a diverse group of people will help his young sons see this community as more inclusive than divisive.
For people who attend the Mosque, like executive director of MAPS-AMEN Aneela Afzali, she says what happened in New Zealand is one of her biggest fears.
"Honestly this has been one of my personal fears that I will be down in prayers and someone will walk in and do a horrific act like in New Zealand, so it hurt every one of us," said Afzali.
Afzali says combating hatred has to start with education, which was a part of the message tonight, that action in addition to prayers are needed.
"They include getting to know you Muslim neighbors, building those personal relationships so they are not manipulated with false information that the Islamophobia industry spreads," said Afzali.
Afzali says part of the action plan was laid out in the program, encouraging people to connect with local politicians to support bills encouraging inclusivity.
MAPS will host upcoming events for the community to get to know the Muslim community. They can be found here.

Karen, who blogs here said I must show the results of the Gelatin Printing we did two weeks ago…. so here is what I did. It was an experiment, because none of us had ever done it before… but I think I want to do it again. We used Setacolor inks …. and some fabric paints… (which I think I would thin… next time). The resists were some die cuts from paper.
This one was my favorite of them and of course the last one. You can't see it, but there is gold ghost images, as the last layer.
Linda, one of the ladies from the American Quilting group that started a project by hand was becoming discouraged by how long it was going to take… so I invited her to come over and use the sewing machine…. Well once it got going there was not stopping her…. and it is done! It is a biscuit quilt, and instead of making a quilt, we made a bed scarf. It turned out great, don't you think. She calls it
This is what I started with.
I was totally uninspired. I did not like certain aspects of the additions by some of the Round Robin Group, but I really liked my center! I normally wouldn't remove another's work, but it is my quilt and I really liked my center!!! So I spent last weekend rearranging and adding parts, and I really think I am beginning to like it. The chalk lines are from when I was trying to figure out how I was going to quilt it… when I decided to take it apart. I couldn't see putting all the time into quilting it if I wouldn't like the quilt when it was done…. I may still quilt it with some straight lines…. but maybe not… we'll wait and see what it says when I get it all back together… in about 10 days.
I have also been putting the binding on the April UFO and will have pictures soon. I am considering additional quilting… on it too, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Last thing… a picture of the poinsettia tree. It is in the neighbors yard… on the other side of a 10 foot wall, so this odd angled photograph is the best I will ever be able to do.
Oh, and if you were curious. Grand Baby Hunter arrived on Mothers Day, at 6:30 pm, 7 lbs 10 oz,; 20 inches long.
As Always …. More Later-

BT-13 Valiant More InfoThe Consolidated Vultee BT-13/BT-15/SNV family of Basic Trainers first entered service in 1940, and was finally retired in the late 1960's. The Houston Wing aircraft is a BT-13A; about 7,000 of this model were built. It is estimated that only about 40 remain in flying condition today. The Houston Wing BT-13 spent 30 years as a public attraction on top of a Utah welding shop before being rescued and returned to flight status. A standard BT-13A is equipped a 450 HP Pratt & Whitney R-985-AN-1 radial engine which drives a fixed-pitch propeller (the Houston Wing's BT-13A has a variable-pitch prop). The landing gear is not retractable, and is not equipped with fairings. Due to the large... ...
PT-19 Cornell More Cornell InfoThe Fairchild PT-19 "Cornell" was a primary trainer developed for the U.S. Army Air Force. Traditionally, primary training was done using biplanes like the Stearman PT-17 "Kaydet" or Navy N3N. However, later it was felt that the transition from the very stable and forgiving biplanes to the more challenging monoplane basic and advanced trainers was too abrupt; the student would feel overconfident after mastering the biplane and have trouble adjusting to the later monoplanes. Therefore, the Army decided to introduce monoplane primary trainers like the PT-19. With a higher wing loading and stall speed, it was more similar to the next step in the training, the BT-13. Following its... ...
AT-6A Texan Ace in the Hole More Ace in the Hole InfoThe North American Aviation AT-6 family of Advanced Trainers first entered service in 1938, and variants continued in service until recent times. The aircraft assigned to the Houston wing (affectionately referred to as "Ace", as it carries the 'Ace in the Hole' insignia of the USAF 111th Fighter Squadron) is an AT-6A; about 1,800 were built. The naval version of the AT-6 is the SNJ; the approximate equivalent of the AT-6A is SNJ-3, and another 270 of these were built. In RAF and RCAF service, the AT-6 was known as the "Harvard"; most of these aircraft were built by Canadian Car and Foundry. AT-6A's were built at the original North American factory in Inglewood, California and at a new... ...
N3N Canary More Canary InfoA Primary Trainer designed by the US Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, the N3N was built by the Naval Aircraft Factory at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was that facility's most numerous product. The design was originated in 1934 and was a relatively advanced type in its time. The fuselage structure is of aluminum angle and plate, covered with a combination of fabric and removable aluminum panels. The flying surfaces are covered with fabric. Although the N3N had the semi-official moniker of "Canary", it was more commonly known as the "Yellow Peril" (a name it sometimes shared with the Stearman N2S Primary Trainer) Most N3Ns were removed from service soon after the end of WWII, but some... ...

C-60 Lodestar Goodtime Gal More Goodtime Gal InfoThe Lockheed C-60A is a twin-engine transport based on the Model 18 Lodestar. The Model 18 was a civilian airliner, developed as a competitor to the Douglas DC-3. Slightly smaller and faster than the DC-3, it soon was in service with many airlines around the world. At the beginning of the war, 102 Model 18's in service with U.S. airlines or under construction were impressed into military service; these "drafted" aircraft were designated C-56, C-57, C-59 or C-60 depending on their configuration and engines. The C-60A was the first "Lodestar" which was built specifically for military service. It was used as a cargo aircraft, VIP transport and paratroop transport. C-60As also served with the... ...
The Commemorative Air Force honors the men and women who built, maintained, and flew in these airplanes during World War II. The organization believes that is best accomplished by maintaining the airplanes in flying condition; taking the airplanes to the people allowing them to experience the sight and sound of the aircraft in flight.
Collecting, restoring and flying vintage historical aircraft for more than half a century, the Commemorative Air Force ranks as one of the largest private air forces in the world. The CAF is dedicated to Honoring American Military Aviation through flight, exhibition, and remembrance. A non-profit educational association, the CAF has more than 13,000 members and a fleet of 165 airplanes distributed throughout the country to 76 CAF units for care and operation. For more information, visit www.commemorativeairforce.org
As a unit of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), we are dedicated to preserving and honoring our military history with the rallying cry to "Keep 'Em Flying!"
The Houston Wing is based at West Houston Airport, in Houston, Texas, USA. The Wing has six CAF aircraft assigned:

whs logo comm final white bghw logo webHistory The Houston Wing began as the West Houston Squadron, a Squadron of the West Texas Wing, in June 1978. Starting from three members and operating only member-owned aircraft, it has now grown to over 100 members and six assigned CAF warbirds. In 2012, the West Houston Squadron petitioned CAF Headquarters and the West Texas Wing for realignment as a direct-reporting unit (a Wing) rather than a Squadron of the West Texas Wing. Upon acceptance of this request, the West Houston Squadron became the Houston Wing.
By 1982, the Squadron had grown to about 35 members and had been assigned its first CAF aircraft, the N3N. This was a true project, with the airframe coming from two separate aircraft and arriving by truck. It would be eight years before its first flight.
Later in 1982, the Squadron was assigned its first flying aircraft, the DC-3 "Dragon Lady". This was a BIG airplane for a still-small Squadron, and after several years of struggle, it was reluctantly returned to CAF headquarters, with the Squadron focusing on smaller aircraft (for the time being). Over the next few years, the AT-6, the BT-13 (another project aircraft), and a Stinson 108 (now with the Gulf Coast Wing) would be brought into the Squadron. In more recent times, the C-60, PT-19, and Navion would be purchased by the Squadron and donated to the CAF, which then assigned them to the Squadron for operation and care.
In 1985, the West Houston Squadron and the Gulf Coast Wing combined forces to hold the inaugural Wings Over Houston Airshow at Ellington Field (now Ellington Airport). Held every year since, and now jointly presented by the Houston Wing, the Gulf Coast Wing, and the Tora Tora Tora Sponsor Group, it is now one of the largest airshows in the country and attracts fans from all over the world.

In an attempt to take my mind off the grim yet unavoidable fact that I was about to turn 30, I decided to do something a little different for my birthday this year by ticking something major off the Bucket List. Machu Picchu has always been up there on the list of places to 'definitely visit one day' but as I entered the last year of my 20s, I realised that if I was actually going to do the famous hike and visit this World Wonder while I was still (relatively) young and fit then I needed to get my ass into gear. So, instead of booking somewhere sunny and exotic like Bali or the Bahamas where I could have spent 10 days relaxing by a pool and ringing in this new decade in a pleasant, rum-fuelled stupor, I booked my spot on the world's most famous hike and headed to Lima.
Seeing as my last camping experience was a sleepover in my best friend's back garden at age 11, its safe to say I wasn't particularly prepared to spend 4 nights up a South American mountain with no hot water. I also didn't ramp up my workout regime in the months before the hike as many people had suggested, and I definitely wasn't going to spend a fortune on expensive hiking and camping gear when the price of the trip had already cost me almost 2 months worth of wages. Although luckily the old saying, 'Fail to prepare, prepare to fail' didn't hold true this time, there are a few things I wish I had known before hiking the trail.
1. It's hard, but not impossible!
To be honest, although the hike is certainly no walk in the park, some blog posts I read definitely exaggerated the difficulty level, implying it would be akin to scaling Everest. To be fair, many of these people had terrible luck; suffering from altitude sickness, and twisted ankles, not to mention terrible weather over the entire 4 days, which made their hiking experience pretty unpleasant. (We tackled the trail in mid-May and were lucky to have perfect weather!)
In terms of the fitness level required, there is no 'standard' you need to achieve before attempting the trail. I did see some people walking in the opposite direction that were, frankly, extremely overweight and also passed one girl who had been hit hard by the altitude and needed an oxygen tank, but these were rare cases. Noone in our group failed at the hike and we all made it to Machu Picchu on day 4, which is pretty impressive seeing as we were quite a mixed bunch. An elderly Swedish couple had quite a rough time; a fall on some loose ground knocked their confidence on the first day, and they took the trail super slow, arriving at camp hours after the younger people in the group. But this didn't stop them from making it into camp with cheers of encouragement each evening
The trail is tough, but you can take it at your own pace, and if this means arriving at camp miles either miles ahead or hours behind the rest of your group then that's absolutely fine. You can take as many breaks as you need on the steep sections, but as long as you keep plodding along at your own pace and remember that the steep bits always peak eventually: what goes up must come down! (Although the hardest parts for me were actually the downhill sections – not fun on the knees!)
2. Be prepared for the altitude to hit in Cusco
While I had been worrying that altitude sickness would hit me halfway up the mountain, I actually felt the effects of being at high altitude as soon as I stepped off the plane in Cusco. This mountain town is actually higher above sea level than Machu Picchu itself, and the air is so much thinner here that your chest tightens and your breathing can feel laboured. It also doesn't help that a lot of Cusco's streets are super steep! Try to resist Cusco's party scene and take it easy on the first night, but make sure you pop into the 180 Eco Bar at the very top of the hill for an incredible panoramic view of Cusco!
3. Walking poles will become your best friends
Walking poles might not be trendy, (and the expression 'pr***s with sticks' isn't reserved solely for skiers!) but they are invaluable for saving your knees! The trail includes several steep, downwards sections where you'll definitely need them! Make sure you buy a decent pair of hiking trainers too, your feet will thank you. (One girl in our group managed to do the entire trek in a battered pair of Vans and had no issues, but I'm pretty sure she was superhuman and I wouldn't recommend this!)
4. Pack for all temperatures!
We were incredibly lucky on our hike as we had sunshine during the entire 4 days despite it having rained the previous week. The weather conditions can vary constantly so make sure you pack a variety of layers and a lightweight rain jacket, not to mention enough sun cream to last the entire trek!
5. It gets freezing at night – especially the second night at high altitude
Although you may find that you're so exhausted from trekking that you fall into a blissful sleep as soon as your head hits your blow-up pillow, (or rolled up bundle of unwashed clothes in my case), I definitely struggled with the sleeping situation. The second night was SO cold I barely slept and felt frozen to my bones the entire night. I would definitely recommend packing proper thermal layers designed for sub-zero conditions as well as a thick, woolly hat and gloves. You can bring a super-thick sleeping bag with you but be aware that this will take up a lot of space in your backpack. (The campsite on the last night is much lower in altitude and therefore generally much warmer, I slept outside of my sleeping bag on the last night because it was so hot!)
6. Pack snacks! Hiking is hungry work
G adventures provided us with a small bag of snacks, with a couple of pieces of fruit, a juice box and some biscuits, which most people consumed on the first day. If you dont have room for snacks then make sure you bring cash to buy some snacks from local women along the way (the last one is just before the climb up to Dead Woman's Pass) These stalls are quite pricey, think £2.50 for a Mars bar, but you can buy a tonne of little packs of Peruvian biscuits for 25p (1 sol). Its a good idea to bring fruit if you want healthy snacks on hand (one member of our group carried an entire pineapple with him for 2 days waiting for it to ripen… I would suggest carrying smaller, lighter fruit!)
7. The toilet situation is… interesting.
Your choices at camp are either seriously whiffy squat toilets which you have to venture down to in the dark and risk losing your phone down the hole if you're using it as a torch (bring a headlight!), or a person-sized pop up tent with a glorified plastic bag to pee in. Lovely. There are no toilets along the trail, so if nature calls while you're hiking you'll need to venture off the path to 'pick a flower'….
8. There are showers! (But no hot water…)
I had resolved myself to the fact that I wouldn't be showering for 4 days, so I packed a load of wet wipes and hand sanitiser, prepared to be pretty pongy. But, some campsites do have icy-cold showers, which are incredible if you're lucky to have a hot, sunny day and arrive at camp before sundown!
9. Porters are superhuman, but woefully underpaid.
Porters are incredible. They will swiftly overtake you as you heave and grunt your way up the mountain with only a light daypack, heaving heavy bags filled with the rest of your gear up the mountainside. Despite the back-breaking work, they'll still give you a cheerful 'Buenos Dias' or an encouraging 'Vamanos!' as they pass by.
Throughout the hike, our guide repeatedly told us how little the porters are paid and told us how much we would be expected to tip at the end of the trail. Although I agree that leaving a tip to the porters is a nice gesture, I felt uncomfortable with the enforced, so-called 'recommended' tipping amounts and the strange farewell and tipping 'ceremony', especially as the porters literally sat in a huddled group outside the dining tent and watched us put money in an envelope before publicly counting it and sharing it amongst themselves. After paying a lot of money to do the trail, hikers shouldn't feel pressured to add on a hefty tip for the porters and guides and this should be done discreetly, not as a presentation which felt awkward and uncomfortable for both hikers and porters. G adventures really need to pay these guys a better wage for the incredible work they do and leave tipping as an optional gesture for hikers.
10. The view at dawn from the Sun Gate will make it all worth it!
Catching that first glimpse of Machu Picchu inthe distance, will make you forget that you're exhausted, smelly and that you're covered in blisters and insect bites. After waking up at 3am to hike for an hour in the darkness before tackling the last slog, the near-vertical 'Monkey Steps', we finally made it to the gate to watch the sun rise slowly over this ancient wonder, with a collective feeling of achievement and elation. I couldn't imagine a better way to celebrate turning 30! Here's to another decade of adventures!
(P.S, you can get enjoy a well-deserved beer or bottle of wine on the super-comfy train back to Aguas Calientes. Enjoy!)

Inconvenient Moving Observations
It's Sunday and I am pulling out of my gated condo community. Just at the exit and across the street is a U-Haul truck parked. A few people are scrambling inside and carrying belongings down the ramp and across the street to the community I live. What? Why would they do this? Do you know how many extra steps this is? I actually snickered when I saw it, and then snapped a picture with my BlackBerry phone. (It is an actual picture by yours truly).
Do these people not know there is an easier way to move? They clearly did not read my blog and need to, desperately! I am the Diva on the Move. You are not. And this is why I exist – to bring enlightenment to the masses that are perplexed with moving, storage, remodeling and whatever else I can throw at you. I am here to help. PODS® is here to help you, too.
PODS makes moving so easy, blog fans. All you have to do is call for a scheduled delivery of a PODS® containerand ask the friendly driver place it where you desire (I highly recommend on your driveway with the open door facing your home). Next, start loading or unpacking at ground level. No ramps, no steps to climb or descend, and no streets to cross. Plus, you won't blow out your pedometer tracking back and forth just to find your favorite pair of pink bunny slippers.
Ok, that last observation was for me.

Body sprays are must-have item for the warm Summer months. You don't want to smell like you have been outside all day, do you ladies? Perfume can be too heavy during these hot days. If you are looking for a way to stay fresh, check out the new Caress Botanicals Body Sprays.
Today's post is sponsored by Mirum. Opinions are always 100% my own.
Body Sprays That are Perfect for Summer
As much as I love the Summer, there are certain things I am not a fan of. For example, some smells of Summer are awful such as sweat.
Nothing can ruin a good time like smelling stinky. Smells can be strong and affect a person's mood. Thankfully Caress Botanical Body Sprays make a great accessories to have in one's bag to remedy this problem.
Pink Peony, Sweet Violet and Mediterranean Lotus offer a variety of scents that last a long time. No need to reapply numerous times throughout the day.
Use Light Body Sprays to Stay Fresh
Looking to stay "out-of-the-shower-fresh"? These sprays come in the following scents:
- Caress Pink Peony Botanical Body Spray
- Caress Sweet Violet Botanical Body Spray
- Caress Mediterranean Lotus Botanical Body Spray
I love to mix them up to create scents that match my current mood. Sweet Violet and Pink Peony produce a pleasant, fresh smell. And like my moods, my scents are constantly changing.
When I am on-the-go running errands or working on our Summer Bucket List, I grab a Caress body spray. They aren't heavy and can be placed in my purse with ease. I can work up a sweat simply getting in-and-out of my car with the kids. Sad, huh? But I do live in Texas where it's always hot.
And now with Caress-inspired Pandora playlists, you can amplify any state of mind and embrace each notes as it hits you.
Pick up Caress at H-E-B and stay and smell fresh this Summer!
Be sure to head to H-E-B to check out the new Caress Botanicals Body Sprays. Which body sprays do you love the most?

Sharing To Accelerate Research - Transformative Innovation for Development and Emergency Support
Sharing To Accelerate Research - Transformative Innovation for Development and Emergency Support
The European Journalism Centre (EJC) has released the Verification Handbook, the first ever guide for using user-generated content (UGC) during humanitarian emergencies. The many new technologies out there imply that there are many new technologies to wittingly or non wittingly invade people's privacy. This is a concern of the Red Cross and other large agencies working in this field and this is the firsts journal that addresses this. TIDES is also working in thsi area with NORTHCOM. NORTHCOM's mission includes dealing with disasters from Canada to Mexico including supporting domestic civilian authorities in disasters such as in Hurricane Sandy or Katrina. As such, in the US, people must be careful to not use information that would otherwise be protected by privacy issues
The dramatic images of natural disasters show that nature, not the people preparing for hazards, often wins the high-stakes game of chance. Sometimes nature surprises us when an earthquake, hurricane, or flood is bigger or has greater effects than expected. In other cases, nature outsmarts us, doing great damage despite expensive mitigation measures or causing us to divert limited resources to mitigate hazards that are overestimated. Much of the problem comes from the fact that formulating effective natural hazard policy involves combining science, economics, and risk analysis to analyze a problem and explore costs and benefits of different options in situations where the future is very uncertain:
Some of the tough questions include:
How should a community allocate its budget between measures that could reduce the effect of future natural disasters and many other applications, some of which could do more good? For example, how to balance making schools earthquake resistant with hiring teachers to improve instruction?
Does it make more sense to build levees to protect against floods or to prevent development in the areas at risk?
Would more lives be saved by making hospitals earthquake resistant or by using the funds for patient...
How space technologies are used by the United Nations to enable Member States to reduce disaster risks or to respond to disasters more effectively
Disasters triggered by natural hazards such as floods, droughts, storms or fires affect millions of people every year and result in billions of dollars in economic losses. The United Nations therefore works to improve its Member States' capacities to reduce Disaster risks, to foster resilience and to respond effectively to such disasters by using space technologies. In its role as a gateway to spacebased information, UN-SPIDER compiled this newsletter to highlight some examples of how and why space technologies are used by the United Nations in the context of disasters. These case studies are examples of the extremely valuable work carried out throughout the entire UN system: http://www.un-spider.org/about/newsletter/un-spider-newsletter-114-space...
This week - February 10-13 - TIDES is at the February JIFX joint interagency experiments at Camp Roberts, CA - an event that brings together hundreds of DoD, US Government, state and local government, private sector and NGO reps to explore cooperation and to perform field testing of technologies for disaster relief and emergency response.

Wherever you are in the process of starting your business, finding funding is a top concern. That's why we invited the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association to hold TechBUZZ 20 at Verizon (formerly AOL) in Dulles on June 6, 2018.
You should RSVP today, and here's why.
For 16 customer-validated startups, it's a priceless opportunity to pitch to a crowd of active investors and CEOs who can offer feedback, funding and future opportunities for partnership and acquisition. While pitch applications for this Loudoun event are closed, this is the perfect place to hone your pitch for the future, and hear feedback directly from the people you need to impress.
In just one afternoon, you can make connections and collect feedback with the exact people you want to reach, and put your company on the fast track to success.
On June 6, Loudoun's own data analytics startup ROUTE Inc. will take the pitch stage and discuss how they are disrupting the NCAA recruitment process with data science, machine learning and advanced analytics. The web and mobile app is designed to help athletes and their families eliminate guesswork and choose a school that best fits their abilities.
ROUTE is the latest in a long line of Loudoun presenters at this premiere pitch event. Over the years, 18 Loudoun companies have presented, including four in the last year. Those seed-stage TechBUZZ alum have raised more than $60 million in post-presentation funds.
One of Loudoun's biggest TechBUZZ success stories was ParkMyCloud, which presented at TechBUZZ in April 2016.
At the time, ParkMyCloud offered an automated scheduling and optimization tool for Amazon Web Services that allows clients — including McDonald's, Sage Software and Avid — to save up to 60 percent on web hosting bills.
Just five months after presenting, ParkMyCloud received $1.65 million in seed series funding, which allowed them to accelerate development of their services for Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure customers.
"Presenting at TechBuzz is truly a milestone in our development," ParkMyCloud CEO and Co-Founder Jay Chapel said in a press release at the time. "The program has gained a top-notch reputation as a venue for high-traction companies like ours to plug into the investment and tech landscape."
If you want to get your business off the ground, this is an event you can't afford to miss.RSVP Today

I'm reading through the Bible in a year, and every month I (try to) post about what I've read. Other posts this month are on Judges, Ruth, Acts, Lamentations and Romans.
In reading Isaiah, I encountered first-hand the 'problem' of the prophetic horizon. That is, there are bits of OT prophecy which refer to events that were fulfilled within a relatively short time of the prophet's having uttered them (e.g. the exile and the return of the remnant); there are bits that were future to the prophet and are past to us (e.g. the coming of Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit); there are bits that are still future for us today (e.g. Messiah's uncontested rule and reign in the new creation).
In reading Jeremiah, I came face-to-face with another characteristic of OT prophecy: the lack of a coherent plot. Two examples: the material in Jeremiah isn't laid out in chronological order, and the fall of Jerusalem is recounted more than once (in chapters 39 and 52). I wish I'd had some handbook on how to make sense of it all. When I was more than halfway through, I read in How To Read The Bible For All Its Worth that OT prophecy is to be read and understood in oracles. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
Understanding the book's structure is also important, so here's a rough outline:
|Subject matter
|The call of the prophet
|Prophecies to Judah about the coming captivity; Jeremiah's dialogues with God; acted-out parables of captivity; opposition to the message.
|The Book of Hope: messages of consolation to Judah
|Zedekiah's treachery; the Recabites' faithfulness; Jehoiakim burns Jeremiah's scroll
|The siege and fall of Jerusalem
|The activity of those left in Jerusalem after its fall
|The Lord's message to Baruch, Jeremiah's secretary
|Prophecies of judgment against the nations
|The fall of Jerusalem retold
Jeremiah, whose name means 'whom Yahweh has appointed', prophesied in the southern kingdom of Judah in the 7th century BC. By the time he started his ministry, the northern kingdom had already fallen. Those in Judah were confident that they would not suffer the same fate, after all, they had the Temple (Jeremiah 7:4), and hadn't God decreed that the Davidic dynasty would go on forever? They didn't listen to Jeremiah as he told them to repent and return to Yahweh—the Hebrew word for 'repent'/ 'return' / 'turn' is used 92 times in Jeremiah.
There is much gloom in Jeremiah, but there is also hope. In chapters 30-33, Jeremiah prophesies hope for restoration to the land and hope for spiritual renewal. God will break the yoke of enemy oppressors; He will save His people from exile and will restore the spiritual health of His people.
The last verses of the last chapter likewise point to hope. Jehoiachin, the last real king in the Davidic dynasty (those who came after were puppet-kings of the prevailing regional powers) is released after 37 years of captivity and given a place at the king of Babylon' s table. The author is saying, "This is the end of the book, but it isn't the end of the story." Today, we know that the human lineage of Christ is traced through Jehoiachin (Matthew 1:11). Christ is the Son of David who rules forever on David's throne, and the one who has rescued His people from their captivity to sin and Satan. Does that make you as excited as it makes me?
Now for my own thoughts.
- I was struck by the similarity in the calls of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Isaiah's mouth was touched (Isaiah 6:7), as was Jeremiah's (Jeremiah 1:9).
- The judgments that Jeremiah and the other prophets prophesied were not new utterances precipitated by Israel's declension. All they said had already been said in some form by Moses, for example in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy. Look at Jeremiah 44:15-23 and Deuteronomy 4:27-30. How much more should we who have more revelation listen!
- Why is it that the Lord promises to restore the fortunes of Moab, Ammon and Elam, but not of the other nations?

Cosmetic Dentistry
Nowadays dentists have a wide selection of instruments and procedures at their disposal for improving the look of your smile. As you might have noticed, cosmetic dentistry is very popular and ranges from whitening and shaping to closing spaces and replacing complete teeth.
If you want to undertake any cosmetic treatment, it's important to know the benefits and dangers. Also it's nice to know what to expect during the procedure. Make sure you're clear about what it will cost, and whether any special maintenance will be needed afterward.
There are several cosmetic dental procedures available;
- Bleaching in order to make teeth whiter (Teeth Whitening)
- Repairing chips or rough spots with fillings that match your teeth
- Filling cavities with tooth-colored materials (Tooth-Colored Fillings)
- Reshaping teeth that don't match the others (Tooth Contouring & Reshaping)
- Closing gaps between teeth (Porcelain Bridgework)
- Covering broken teeth with porcelain crowns
A cosmetic dentist is a dentist who has considerably knowledge about the concepts of smile design and dental materials to create what could best be described as works of art. Cosmetic dentists are usually affiliated with a professional organization that provides continuing education and levels of accreditation to verify outstanding achievement in the study of cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry may also provide restorative benefits. For example, dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth. Previously, most dental fillings were composed primarily of gold, amalgam and other materials that left visible dark spots on the teeth. This is something of the past, now we have tooth colored fillings that give a much nicer look and are not impossible to detect for other persons.
Our cosmetic dentist
The dentist at the Aesthetic Surgery Center has taken continuing education courses to keep up with the latest techniques in clinical cosmetic dentistry. Our dentist has demonstrated a high level of skills performing the types of cosmetic treatments you are considering. We guarantee it.
Our dentists are experts in their field, so are our nurses. Make your free online consultation today. Send us your recent panoramic X-ray and our experienced dentists can determine what to best solution is for your teeth Fill in our contact form and don't forget to add some photos of your mouth and smile.

I talk a lot about repurposing your content so you can get the most mileage out of it. It seems silly to keep churning out more and more content and only use it once, when you could be using it in more than one place, in more than one format.
Take podcasts for example. Podcasts have become an excellent way for business professionals to share knowledge, give value to clients, and also build a following for their products or services. But what many podcasters don't realize is the information they've created in audio format can also be repurposed into other effective formats like blog posts and white papers. Yes, you can simply upload the audio file to your blog; but transcribing and repurposing it as text gives you even more reach because it reaches a different market.
Here are two tools many marketers and podcasters agree get the job done:
Speechpad: Touted as "Simply the Best Human-Generated Captions and Transcriptions. Delivered on Time, Every Time," Speechpad charges $1.00-$4.00 per minute to transcribe your information using a pool of over 5K transcribers who work around the clock. Speechpad's services include basic transcription, as well as "add-on" options like time-stamping and advanced captioning, with a 24 or 48 hour turn-around (part of their Premium offerings).[clickToTweet tweet="Turn podcasts and audio content into blog posts and white papers!" quote="Turn podcasts and audio content into blog posts and white papers!"]
Scribie: Scribie is an audio/video transcription system that manages the process end-to-end and delivers high quality transcripts. The transcription work is done by freelance home-based transcribers and managed completely via the Internet. Scribie's pricing structure includes a "flexible" week or month rate. If you are in no hurry their budget plan offers $0.75/min with a 5 day turnaround. Their regular plan with 36 hour turnaround is $1.50/min. If you're in a big hurry, their rush rate is $3.00, but has a 12 hour turnaround. They even include a unique quote calculator to help users get a better idea of the cost of transcribing their project.
So the next time you need quality content for your blog, a whitepaper or anything else, why don't you grab a podcast or another audio file you'd like to turn turn into text, and give one of these low cost services a whirl.[optin-cat id="8434″]

The UK's Construction Products Association's (CPA) latest State of Trade Survey indicates that, following a relatively good first quarter of the year, product manufacturers suffered from a slowdown in sales in 2Q and are extremely concerned about demand going forward.
Commenting on the figures, Construction Products Association senior economist, Kelly Forrest said: "With public sector cutting spending and private sector construction adversely affected by events in the euro zone, it is unfortunately unsurprising to see product sales affected in 2Q. Heavy side manufacturers reported that sales fell compared with 1Q and compared with a year ago. Sales of light side products, which tend to be used later in the construction process, continued to rise in 2Q, yet the fall in heavy side sales suggests the second half of the year will become increasingly challenging. Nearly all of the firms responding to the survey expressed concern about the strength of demand over the next 12 months. It is their primary concern.
"Despite recent falls in oil and commodity prices, cost inflation continues to be a serious issue for product manufacturers. 84% of heavy side firms and 62% of light side firms reported that costs continued to rise as long term contracts have ensured that recent price falls have not fed through yet.
"Manufacturers continue to be boosted by exports, 11% of heavy side manufacturers and 25% of light side manufacturers stated that exports rose over the past year. Furthermore, a larger number of both heavy and light side firms are turning to exports to offset subdued domestic demand. 40% of heavy side firms exported products in Q2 and 70% of light firms reported that they were now exporting."Published under Cement News

Introducing EDAS x Mexico, an accessories and wearable goods collection manufactured with the hopes of being a little kinder to the earth by producing each and every item just for you. Released in phases, carefully crafted, and made with love.
We ventured through Mexico to forge our own narrative of a country we have always craved to know more about. On our quest, we took heed to create this new body of work within a region full of rich history and culture, where the indigenous people are widely respected for their craftsmanship, variant art forms, weaving, leather development and pottery works.
Our exploration not only brought us to a wonderful tribe of makers in León, Guanajuato, that we now consider our extended family, EDAS was also graciously granted access to unfold an authentic perspective of Mexico, one that so often gets wrongfully told.
We are honored to bring to you all EDAS x Mexico.

text: From my young age, I have been an ardent admirer of the Sikh Gurus. I have been immensely inspired by the religious rationale and social system of Sikhism. It was, in fact, my revered father, late Dr.HiraLall Chopra, himself an erudite scholar of Sikh history and admirer of Sikhism, who, first, inculcated in me an interest in Sikh Gurus and Sikh scriptures which, later on, blossomed in me a keen desire to learn more about it. In the course of my studies, I was, occasionally, prompted to write articles on Sikhism, the Sikh Gurus and their teachings and some of the Sikh martyrs. In the utterances and hymns of the Gurus and other saints of yore, enshrined in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, I find a treasure-trove of divine knowledge and spiritual realization of a very high order. These teachings provide a balm to the troubled souls; they vi instill a longing to follow the path of simplicity, sincerity and righteousness. They also expound the practical way of banishing passion, anger, greed, attachment, conceit and pain from our lives and teach us how to lead a normal life of righteousness and truthfulness and achieve the real happiness and have communion with the Supreme Reality, the ultimate objective of one's life. The collection of articles in this book is by no means an exhaustive study, but only an humble attempt by me to give an insight into the prominent features of Sikhism and Sikh history to the general reader and throw some light on the glorious achievements of this most virile and enterprising community. I have always found a lot of solace, inspiration and moral strength from the Sikh history, the lives of the Gurus and their profound teachings. I can only hope that this book will enable many others to derive the same benefits.

Roland Barth Teacher Leadership
What can school leaders do to promote teacher leadership and collegiality?
- State expectations explicitly
- Model collegiality
- Reward those who behave as colleagues
- Protect those who engage in collegial behaviors (Barth, 2006)
Roland S. Barth Quotes to Remember!
- "A true mark of a the leader is not how many followers one begates but how many leaders" (Barth 2013).
- "Teacher leadership is shared leadership or distributive leadership. Whatever name we call it, the concept of a school as a community of leaders is an idea whose time has come" (Barth, 2006).
- "The teacher who leads... is the teacher who is an insatiable learner" (Barth 2013).
- "A school community is like a ship. Everyone must be prepared to take the helm" (Barth, 2013).
- Teachers who aren't alive as learners start to percolate when they take on leadership roles" (Barth, 2013).
- "A school's mission is to create and provide a culture hospitable to human learning and to make it likely that students and educators will become and remain life-long learners. This is what instructional leadership is about" (Barth, 2002).
- "Schools are full of good players. Collegiality is about getting them to play together, about growing a professional learning community" (Barth, 2006).

Example showing an ad
The following example checks to see if a placement is available and if it is, uses the show request to display the ad.
NSString *placementId = @"1234";
if ([FYBRewarded isAvailable:placementId]) {
[FYBRewarded show:placementId];
let placementId = "1234"
if (FYBRewarded.isAvailable(placementId)) {
Stop Requesting An Ad
If a placement is no longer relevant for your user, you can stop requesting it.
NSString *placementId = @"1234";
[FYBRewarded stopRequesting:placementId];
let placementId = "1234"
Use stopRequesting to disable the FairBid SDK Auto-Request functionality for a specific placement. If you continue requesting ads for placements that are not shown, the performance of your placement can be impacted.

This unit provides a comprehensive treatment of dynamical systems using the mathematically sophisticated framework of Lagrange and Hamilton. This formulation of classical mechanics generalizes elegantly to modern theories of relativity and quantum mechanics. The unit develops dynamical theory from the Principle of Least Action using the calculus of variations. Emphasis is placed on the relation between the symmetry and invariance properties of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian functions and conservation laws. Coordinate and canonical transformations are introduced to make apparently complicated dynamical problems appear very simple. The unit will also explore connections between geometry and different physical theories beyond classical mechanics. Students will be expected to solve fully dynamical systems of some complexity including planetary motion and to investigate stability using perturbation analysis. Hamilton-Jacobi theory will be used to elegantly solve problems ranging from geodesics (shortest path between two points) on curved surfaces to relativistic motion in the vicinity of black holes. This unit is a useful preparation for units in dynamical systems and chaos, and complements units in differential equations, quantum theory and general relativity.
Three 1 hour lectures and one 1 hour tutorial per week.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
I had a crappy contractor put a lien on my house for 24000 (which was false and a lie anyway) but as I understand it, he has to file it within 2 years....which he hasn't as far as I know. I have called the county court and they said the only thing they have on file is the initial lien in 2012. I saw online that Illinois says if they don't file judgement on it, then I can demand he take it off within 10 days notice or I can sue him for my court cost. Do I need a lawyer to write letter or can I send it?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Not quite. If within the 2 year period after a PROPER lien has been recorded you make a demand that they file suit and they don't within 30 days, they are bound to give you a release. But if the lien period simply has expired and they haven't sued to FORECLOSE the lien, the lien simply has expired and the contractor can't sue on it. The only thing he can do is sue you on the contract itself, which is a 10 year limitation for written contracts and 5 year for oral contracts. The law does not require a useless act, being demand to sue after the lien period has expired. But he could still sue you, he just doesn't have an enforceable lien any more. Assuming everything you said was accurate. If you have to refinance or sell your house, a title company would be able to confirm that.

It's almost Christmas Day! Whoop whoop!!
What's your favorite book surrounding Christmas? I have to say one of mine is Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle! This book contains three little romances within this one town. It's a beautiful read, and I highly encourage it during this lovely month.
What about books that contain snow? Whether it be Holiday snow, mountain snow, or just a winter setting in a book? Hmmm… I have to mention Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick. I know, I know, some out there have read this book and hated it, but honestly, I enjoyed it. It was a nice read. I say read it with an open mind, and you might love it too.
What about books that contain magic and miracles? I'll mention Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley! This is a beauiful story. It gave me a serious Peter Pan vibe, and Peter Pan was a little girl crush for me. A girl who "dies" to a horrible disease but comes back to find herself on a ship sailing through the sky! Magical, beautiful, and just GAH! ❤
What are some books you've been wanting on your shelf? My answer? Where do I start?? I seriously want the Chronicles of Narnia on my bookshelf for one. If you're into fantasy and not too much into romance, this is the perfect series for you. I love romance, but this series was a wonderful read. Worthy of a place on my bookshelf!!
Soon I'll have an interview with Gretchen McNeil here on our blog! She's the author of TEN, which is currently being made into a movie. How exciting!!

Window Tinting Regulations:
Each state in Australia has its own regulations for the type of film that is allowed on passenger vehicles. The law doesn't allow dark or highly reflective films to be put on these vehicles. Queensland has a maximum darkness of no more that 35% VLT.
What is VLT:
VLT stands for Visible Light Transmittance. It means the amount of natural light that still comes through when you window is tinted. For example, darkest legal is 35%VLT. This reading can be read with an electronic VLT meter which we have at CT Tinting.

These films are made of durable optically clear polyester and are perfect for controlled privacy, decorative or architectural applications. From offices to homes we let you be the designer.
Car Protection
Benefits of Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light
Serum light forms an ultra durable, high-gloss, slick to touch, chemically bonding inorganic layer of 9h optically clear ceramic. Once applied, gloss levels will remain in the upper 90th percentile for significantly longer when compared to traditional paint protection products, and cleaning you car will be a breeze. The high density ceramic layer is resistant to chemicals ranging from pH2 – pH12. This characteristic also makes bonded contaminants such as tree sap, tar, and hard water spots, easy to remove. Unlike mainstream wax and organic polymer coatings, Serum Light can resist much higher and lower temperatures. They resist temperatures as low as -40 degrees to as high as +250 degrees Celsius.
Features of Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light
- Five year guarantee
- Ultimate in gloss enhancement, swirl and chemical resistance
- High gloss and slick to touch
- Contaminants are easy to remove
