We remain focussed despite challenges at KQ
A lot of untruths and innuendos have recently been peddled in the media and other circles regarding Kenya Airways. Given the airline's pivotal role in not only Kenya's economy, but to the region, and its valuable contribution to giving Kenya visibility on the global front, these statements cannot go unchallenged.
But before I delve into this, allow me to first state that all businesses have challenges. More so in our industry which is cyclical in nature and fraught with many risks. These include fuel price volatility, intense competition and more recently the threat of terrorism and epidemics that have adversely impacted global travel. There is also political instability, natural disasters and an increasingly tight regulatory environment and KQ is not isolated from any of these. KQ has expanded its global footprint across multiple jurisdictions flying to 52 destinations. As a global airline, we are governed by stringent international aviation rules that we must adhere to.
Strong consumer activism in some markets like the European Union has imposed high costs of operations in cases of schedule interruptions.
But it has not always been doom and gloom. Over the last decade, Kenya Airways worked hard to successfully shed the image of an ailing airline dependent on government lifeline. Since it was privatized in the late 1990s, the airline grew rapidly, lifted by strong fundamentals and embracing a culture of competitiveness and innovation. Before the current spate of challenges, Kenya Airways was one of the most profitable airlines even earning the 'Most Respected Company in East Africa' accolade.
Are we in debt? Yes we are. Is this normal for airlines? Most certainly. The question is one of balance for both long term and short term debt. Long term debt is the norm for financing asset acquisition together with equity. In the short term, we are experiencing a tight liquidity position driven by our business environment, hence the work we are doing on refinancing our commitments and raising cash for working capital.
Were we too ambitious in our plans? Only time will tell. KQ from 2002 to 2011 grew from a turnover of Sh25 billion to over Sh100 billion, in the same period. It only made a loss in 2009. Against this backdrop, the Board embarked on a second phase of growth and renewal with mixed results thus far. We have a modern fleet that allows us to compete more effectively in a different competitive environment where service and quality count. In acquiring or leasing our fleet, we do this with internationally reputable companies in the aviation space with no local intermediaries contrary to speculation. Being a publicly quoted company, we have clear governance rules and reporting requirements that are well articulated in our annual report.
Operationally, we have seen significant improvements over the last two years both in on time performance and service. In the last month though, we have had significant disruptions to our schedule integrity which has regrettably impacted our loyal customers for two reasons. Firstly, the change of schedule due to the runway closure and attendant internal adjustments we have had to make. Secondly, we have had labour relations issues with some of our pilot community which in some instances has led to last minute flight cancellations or delays. We remain optimistic that we will find amicable solutions to these challenges.
Despite the present situation, there are many reasons why Kenyans should be proud of their national carrier. Besides being one of Africa's leading airlines, Kenya Airways is central to the region's tourism and business interests, ferrying tourists and investors. The airline has built an enviable network across the African continent so much so that other nations are entirely dependent on Kenya Airways to connect to the rest of the world. Nairobi is indeed the hub for the region because of this connectivity and a significant number of multinationals have made decisions to be based in Nairobi for this reason.
The airline is also one of the largest employers in Kenya with over 4,000 direct employees, not to mention the significant direct and indirect benefit from its expansive business ecosystem.
So, whereas KQ may today be grappling with challenges, what is important is that we stay focused in delivering on the wider promise. I want to take the opportunity to celebrate the men and women of KQ right across the network who work hard to deliver on the guest promise and have been at the heart of building this company. I am proud to lead such a dedicated and passionate group contrary to assertions that staff are not engaged. In any company of our size and scale there will always be people who may not have the same passion and energy.
Kenyans therefore need to rally behind their airline. Businesses the world over experience challenges from time to time. What matters most is the measures instituted to put the business on a recovery path and ultimately on a sound footing.
(Ngunze is the Managing Director and CEO of Kenya Airways)

Ngunze you are doing a wonderful job, all business do have challenges. I hate when bloggers just bash KQ blindly, KQ will remain the Pride of Africa. Cant wait to fly KQ101 back home!! All the best sir.

Greetings group.
I have a OKIFAX OF-150 fax machine.
This machine uses a toner cartridge.
Any copy I try to make comes out almost completely black.
I tried printing a configuration report, and it came out black too.
This tells me the problem is in the printing section and not the
scanning section.
I have tried cleaning any surface the copy paper passes over, but this
has not helped.
Can anyone suggest where I might look for the problem?

Re: Black pages from fax.
Thanks for the reply Mark.
I will check the corona wire, but I do remember looking at it when I
cleaned the machine, and it seemed o.k.
I am unsure what the sprint contacts look like, but I will try to
figure that out when I look in the machine again.
Can you give me any more info.?
You sound like you have some experience with these machines.

Re: Black pages from fax.
Sorry I meant "Spring" contacts, usually at either end of the
drum assembly or toner cartridge assembly.
Just general servicing of Canon, Ricoh, Nashua, Gestetner, Panasonic,
Kyocera, IBM and Lexmark lasers and copiers.
Did you refill the machine with a no-name toner recently ? or one
meant for another machine?: some toners are "negative" and will cause
that problem.
For something that drastic, there must be a contact failing to make
somewhere of a failure of one of the HV power supplies.

Re: Black pages from fax.
Thanks Mark.
Do these spring contacts connect the power to the corona wire?
The machine was given to me. It has not been used for quite some time,
but it was working when it was last used. It still has the same toner
as when it was last used.
Now that you mention the HV power supply, I have just remembered I
heard a click soon after I turned it on. It may have been a spark or a
part failing.
I am sure the click was not the sound of a relay.

Re: Black pages from fax.
It could be at least any one of about ten faults I can think of.
Can you borrow a cartridge from another machine for substitution?.
How is the machine laid out? is there an all in one cartridge for
the drum/developer unit?. Do the coronas and lamps slide out from
the front: they could be incorrectly plugged in. How does the machine
open? from a front door or like a clamshell?.

Re: Black pages from fax.
Thanks for the reply Mark.
No I can't borrow another cartridge.
Not sure about an "all in one cartridge".
I am not sure if the coronas and lamps slide out, I may have to remove
a panel to find out.
The machine is like a clamshell.
As you can tell, I don't know a great deal about fax machines. I mostly
do domestic electronic repairs (tv/stereo etc.).
I had a look at the howstuffworks web site, but they didn't explain fax
machines in much detail.
Do you know of a web site that may be helpful?
Or if you have the time, could you please give myself and others a
brief explanation of how fax machines work, especially the type I have
here that uses a toner cartridge.
Also, what voltage is the HV power supply?

Re: Black pages from fax.
Hi Russell, All I can suggest is that you slide out
the various lamps, coronas, drum unit etc and slide
them back home so that the connectors will reconnect.
Apart from that you may be able to sweet talk the
local tech and see if he's encountered anything the
same. Usually if you call the dealer and ask for the
"service" dept under the pretense of buying a spare
part, you'll get to speak to a tech who is familiar
with that model.

Re: Black pages from fax.
Hi Russell
Found this for you..............
The OF150 uses the same drum unit, hence is probably built around, the OL400
printer. Remove the reader unit and you should have something that resembles
the layout in this service manual. As has been mentioned the spring contacts
for the high voltage can cause some weird faults and it isn't only the
contacts at the drum end. I am unsure in this model but in a lot OKI like to
have spring style contacts on the HV PCB end as well. Strip the thing down &
have a good look. These connections aren't as well insulated as you might
expect and build up of toner & shit dropping onto the board can cause
arcing & loss of HV.
Have fun

Now, by no means do I have any sort of expertise in providing fashion tips and tricks - the following so-called life hacks are just little discoveries I have made in the past couple of months. I don't expect to impart any sort of valuable knowledge upon you; most likely you will find everything below completely irrelevant or very novice. But hey, I'm just sharing for fun and the minuscule chance you might actually find this interesting.
1. The Practicality of Bandeaus
This one is going to be pretty obvious for most of you out there, so bear with me. Bandeaus and bralettes became popular a couple years back for layering underneath sheer blouses, lace tops, or simply underneath a blazer. Being someone who grew up dressing more conservatively, baring any part of my torso seemed like a très risqué maneuver. So whenever I had tops which were too transparent or low-cut, I felt as if I had no option but to wear tank tops or camisoles underneath. While neither were necessarily bad options, tank tops sometimes looked too casual peeking through sheer blouses, and the square neckline of camisoles cut across the chest in ways which reminded me too much of my preteen years. I needed something a bit more grown up.
That's when I discovered the convenience of bandeaus. With my newfound confidence in dressing, I decided to wear a colourful bandeau under a sheer, low-cut white t-shirt I had. And wow, the freedom was amazing! Not only did the bandeau look cool and quirky underneath, it was perfect for that particular hot sunny day. In the past, I've often found it tedious wearing a tank top under wispy summer shirts, as if I weren't already sweating enough with just one layer of fabric. But now, air ventilation is greatly improved with a bandeau. As well, bandeaus help immensely with low-cut necklines. Because my bandeaus are so tight, there is no risk of my bra showing or any fear I will flash anyone if my neckline slips down or I bend over to pick something up. Beadeaus have given me so much liberty with my summer outfits, and they open doors in terms of being able to wear the looser or more revealing shirts I have.
2. Wearing Random Chains as Jewellery
I am definitely not a person who is good at fashion DIYs, but this DIY is simple enough for even the most amateurish of rookies. Digging through my jewellery boxes one day, I managed to find this random silver chain. I have absolutely no clue where this chain came from, or what it was previously used for - but regardless of its past life, I figured I could reincarnate it as a jewellery piece. Luckily, the chain has a bright, shiny finish that helps it seem less like just some random old chain I picked up, and more like an actual piece of jewellery. I've worn it in various ways, including as a knotted necklace, a layered necklace, a layered bracelet, and even the trendy tied choker look. If you have random material laying around, like chain, ribbon, or a leather tie, you could easily replicate these looks.
3. Fixing Patent Leather Scuffs with Vaseline
If there is actually anything you walk away with today, I hope it is this trick. Being a shoe lover, my heart aches whenever I see a pair of shoes I own getting (inevitably) worn down and used. I try my best to maintain the condition of my shoes by cleaning and polishing them regularly. However, one struggle I have had since high school was maintaining my patent leather shoes. Lately, I have been wearing a pair of super shiny patent Miu Miu loafers and a pair of orange patent Cole Haan oxfords, both of which have been accidentally scuffed in the process.
Thank goodness for Google, because I learned rubbing Vaseline onto patent leather with a clean cloth can help remove scuffing. AND IT WORKS. I thought I was done for when I scratched the orange patent on my Cole Haans against the pavement, but seeing the scuff go away with Vaseline made me burst with glee. Keep in mind, for patent leather which has been rubbed down to a dull finish, Vaseline likely won't work miracles. But if you have a scratch, you might be able to renew the leather. Either way, give it a try!

This is the home page, which will be detailed later.
Helpful tip:
When navigating the NPC Tracker, you definitely want to make use of the tags. Tags, such as "Starkweather-Moore Expedition" will group NPC's by their affiliation. Vehicles are also listed as NPC's, attached to the appropriate group.
Expeditions and other organizations also have their own listing, often with links to each of their members and vehicles on that page.
Tags also provide a handy way of listing some traits for that NPC right on the Tracker page, reducing the need to link to page after page trying to find the right person.

I have been receiving glossy box for about 6 months now. This was my least favorite box. Everything was useful just now WOW factor. Also my first box came heavily damaged so that didn't help.Report this review
Okay box3
Glossybox is beautifully presented - no other beauty box subscriptions I've ever gotten come close to GB for presentation. For that reason, getting a Glossybox is always a fun treat. The platinum eyeliner was my fave - the color was gorgeous - but the turning mechanism broke and wouldn't advance the pencil so I was only able to use this a few times. I just re-upped my subscription after taking a break and this particular box was just ho-hum. None of the products was a game-changer for me, nothing made me want to investigate other products from these brands.Report this review

I enjoyed this month's box. The brandskin weren't the expensive ones that I am used to from Glossybox, but they are a good quality. I absolutely love the sheet mask!Report this review

Canadian midfielder Josh Simpson is fielding offers from teams in Switzerland, Germany and Turkey, according to his agent. In an e-mail sent to The 11, Simpson's agent, Dr. Andreas Kirsch, said the cancellation of Simpson's contract with Turkish side Manisaspor was done after close consultation with FIFA. Manisaspor threatened legal action against the Canadian national-team regular after he and his agent initiated the termination of his contract with the club. But, if Simpson does have FIFA's blessing, it's hard to see how Manisaspor could find any legal remedy. In fact, Dr. Kirsch stated that Simpson launched a case with FIFA against Manisaspor in August 2011 over alleged missed payments to the midfielder. What's interesting is that in September, Simpson made himself available to Canadian journalists, and the only mention he made about not getting paid was because of the delay to the start of the regular season. So, he and his agent were filing the claim with FIFA, but Simpson was still putting a brave face on the situation. "The club missed a final deadline on Monday to pay, so on Tuesday we cancelled, in close teamwork with FIFA, his contract," wrote Dr. Kirsch. "Josh is now, regarding FIFA, transfer free and will sign a new contract in this transfer window. He has offers from several teams in Germany, Switzerland and Turkey." Turkey would be an interesting choice, considering Simpson left Manisaspor because of alleged missed payments. His former teammate at Manisaspor, Mike Klukowski, previously left another Turkish side, Ankaragucu, over unpaid wages. The start of the Turkish season was delayed by a match-fixing scandal. Switzerland's reputation has also been damaged. In 2010, nine players were sanctioned for their role in Swiss match-fixing. Sion was tossed from the Europa League over allegations it violated its transfer-window ban. It was also penalized heavily in domestic competition. And the Swiss league just tossed Neuchatel Xamax from the competition, alleging that the club submitted a falsified bank guarantee. And, what's interesting is that, if Simpson has been battling Manisaspor since August, he went through all of Canada's recent World Cup qualifying games — and Turkish league matches — with this weight on his shoulders, yet was one of Canada's best players through the first round of CONCACAF playdowns.

Cathi's Big Holiday
The Electron Pencil is the place to be every morning next week as the Democrats gather for their every-four-years love fest in Philadelphia. Indiana Congressional District 9 delegate Cathi Crabtree will be reporting in throughout each day she spends with her fellow Dems, Monday through Thursday, July 25th through the 29th.
We'll be carrying Cathi's impressions, bits of gossip, scoops, and more starting Monday with her report on the car ride with two other delegate pals, Jeanne Smith and Martha Hilderbrand, through Ohio and Pennsylvania on their way to the City of Brotherly Love.
(L to R) Cathi, Jeanne & Martha
[BTW: The gals will be bringing their hoops along so travelers along Interstate 70 just may be in for a treat when the three pull into a rest stop.]
They'll set off Saturday morning, knock off about halfway to Philly for a night's sleep and then hit the big town sometime late Sunday afternoon. The three will stay together in a hotel room outside the Philly city limits (Personal to Cathi and her colleagues: You might want to stay away from those Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches, especially with onions, as long as you have to spend your nights in such close quarters with each other.) The party has made scores of deals with local hotels to put up their delegates. In Cathi's case, for instance, she and her cohorts will pay $2000 for their five-night stay.
For Cathi, attending this historic convention (the first woman will be nominated by a major party) will be both serious and a lark. Cathi was inspired to run for district delegate in honor of her Mom who died almost exactly a year ago. Crabtree mère was a big Hillary fan. Cathi tears up as she recalls making the decision to go for it. "I'm a feminist," she says. "I was raised a feminist by my mother — although I didn't know it at the time."
She positively glows as she talks of the trip and the convention. "It'll be like a vacation," she says. "I want to take in everything I can!"
Well, good luck, girl. Delegates' days begin at seven in the morning with a mandatory breakfast meeting at each hotel. There, she'll get important news of the day, an updated schedule of events, and her daily events pass. Then it's off to downtown Philly on a shuttle bus. She'll bounce between the arena and the nearby convention center where various caucuses will be held and seminars and presentations offered. Each day's gavel comes down at either 3 or 4 in the afternoon and the festivities can last until 11pm or midnight and then there are after-parties that will only break up at about two in the morning. An exhausted Crabtree will climb aboard the shuttle bus for the trip back to her hotel bed, which she'll only enjoy for a scant few hours before the whole orgy starts again.
Cathi Crabtree is a mechanical engineer at the Crane Naval Support Activity installation 25 miles southwest of Bloomington. The US Navy's Surface Warfare Center and the US Army's Ammunition Activity center are the base's primary tenants. The naval side of things is responsible for designing warships and their weapons systems and the army's people design things that explode. "There are hardly any women engineers, either at Crane or in the country at large," Cathi says.
She claims it was at Crane where she found her political and philosophical footing. Cathi hates to admit it but she voted for the first time at the age of 25 — for Ronald Reagan, "because of the guy I was dating," she adds hastily. "Then I became informed. I'm a late bloomer."
As a member of Federally Employed Women (FEW) she heard visiting speaker Toby Strout, executive director of Bloomington's Middle Way House, speak about the non-profit's work with abused woman. Next thing Cathi knew, she'd signed up to volunteer. Since that time, Cathi has served on Middle Way's board, was instrumental in starting up Bloomington's short-lived National Organization for Women (NOW) chapter, and is an 11-year member of Bloomington's Commission on the Status of Women.
Just as important, she spent four years jamming with the Bleeding Heartland Roller Derby before she retired in June, 2015. She skated as Cat Scratch — and she's got the tattoo to prove it.
AKA Cat Scratch
And now, she's the celebrity correspondent for this global communications colossus. "I'm excited to share my experience with more people," she says. "I was thrilled when you asked me to do it."
I mean, honestly, who in this world would turn down such a request from The Pencil?
"I hope I can fit everything in," she says. "I want to network with other people who think like me. I want to make the 9th District and Monroe County proud."
Well, I'm thrilled, too. Come here every morning next week and I bet you'll be, too.

Oddly, the novel upon which the film was based, The Brick Foxhole by Richard Brooks, was actually about murderous homophobia. Hollywood in the year 1947, though, was still under the thumb of the Hays Code which branded homosexuality a sickness so the producers had to rework the story.

RICHMOND — With eight of the 12 Chase spots up for grabs, and 10 drivers in serious contention for them, there was pressure aplenty to share when the green flag dropped Saturday night on the rain-delayed Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway.
But few Sprint Cup Series drivers in the Chase hunt faced as wide a variety of pressures as 2004 champion Kurt Busch. Busch's concerns started with the fact that his 38th-place finish in Atlanta a week earlier made it imperative he finish well at RIR.
He started Saturday knowing that a 20th-place or better finish would put him automatically in the top 12 going into the first Chase race next Sunday in New Hampshire. And while he'd have liked a little more of a cushion, he entered Richmond with confidence.
"We had hoped to have a little less pressure here at Richmond by locking us in last week," he said. "It didn't happen. We had a rough race where we missed the setup.
"With Richmond, we've had some success here. We've won one race (September 2005), had some top 10s and some laps led, so hopefully (it) will be one of those nights that we'll have on Saturday."
As if that weren't enough, Busch has been dealing this week with reports that crew chief Pat Tryson is leaving Penske Racing. Tryson, Busch's crew chief for more than two years, reportedly has signed to become Martin Truex Jr.'s crew chief next year at Michael Waltrip Racing.
"Yeah, it's a change that's going to happen," said Busch, who is fifth in points after Saturday night's runner-up finish at RIR. "It's unfortunate that Pat made that type of decision.
"It seems like our focus should be on the Chase, and making it in the Chase, so it's a tough week for that type of news. No matter who I'm working with or communicating with, we have to get the Miller Lite Dodge and get off to a great start once we do that."
Despite his feeling that Tryson's timing is poor, Busch said he is not angry with his crew chief.
"There's never really a good time to bring things up," Busch said. "The way we've had a great run together, and the way he turned our program around in 2007, helped put him back on the map so to speak.
"You never want to hold anybody back from their ambitions and their dreams."
Tryson's departure at season's end isn't the only blow Busch took this week. Life became more difficult with the announcement by Richard Petty Motorsports that it is leaving Dodge to become a Ford organization.
That leaves the Penske teams as the only ones remaining in Cup under the Dodge banner. The upshot is that it gives Busch and crew fewer teams to share information with.
"That's a tough one, because we liked to have more bullets in the gun when we're standing out there trying to get Dodge into victory lane," he said. "But with us down now down to three teams, it's a unique responsibility to go out there and represent the Dodge brand and help them sell cars."
Making the Chase and winning it would be the best way to do that. Busch hoped that by earning his Chase spot in Richmond on Saturday, he could depend on his experience in the final 10 races to snag a second Cup title.
"It seems each year there are some small lessons learned," he said. "But it gets back to the format that we used in 2004, and that I still think is important, and that's consistency.
"You just can't have those bad finishes right off the bat. When you do, you have the mindset of trying to dig out of a hole and trying to stretch yourself thin and make calls that you normally wouldn't make.
"We feel like once the Chase does start, the outlook looks positive with a couple of strong races right out of the box for us at Loudon and Dover."

Over the past few years, I've worked as a psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner. Much of my job entails teaching members of our program about mental illness and "coping skills": skills you develop to relax, wind-down, cope with difficult life circumstances, de-escalate from especially tough situations, or to simply feel more joy throughout the week.
The truth is, we all need coping skills for different reasons. Some people pray, exercise, talk to a counselor, spend time with a friend, take a nap, read a book — there are endless healthy ways to practice therapeutic skills every single day.
For me, it's cooking.
I hear so many people talk about the stress that surrounds the idea of cooking every day, but I want to talk about the ways in which cooking can be therapeutic, even for the non-believer.
1. The act of cooking is relaxing on its own.
I know, I know. Some of you are already rolling your eyes thinking about all of the past frustration you've experienced as a result of cooking. However, cooking is truly a craft that gets easier over time. Whether you're making a simple plate of pasta or scrambled eggs or following an elaborate recipe, the focus that cooking requires can help our minds take a break and rest in what we are focusing on in that very moment — making a meal.
2. Cooking can give us the opportunity to serve others.
Ya'll — I've had a LOT of hobbies in the past that I've considered to be therapeutic coping skills for myself. However, for me, none served the purpose of serving others quite like cooking does.
There is something so special about sharing a meal with people you love. Inviting people to sit at your table. Practicing hospitality through the act of making others feel comfortable, loved and appreciated. Simply put, we feel better when we give back, and cooking is an easy way to do just that.
3. Food is nourishing to our bodies, minds, and spirits.
I remember the days before I began cooking for myself. Food was a stressor because I didn't know what else to do besides order a pizza or pick up a quick bite from the dining hall at my college. Now, there is nothing wrong with enjoying pizza every now and again. But a balanced, healthy diet nourishes our minds, bodies, and spirits. It gives us energy, helps us to think clearly, and improves our mood. Learning to cook helped me to nourish myself more consciously and listen better to my body. By cooking, I found that I was also practicing healthy eating as a form of self-love and care.
4. Cooking can give us something to feel proud of.
Cooking can be HARD. There is no denying that. When I first began to cook, all I could make was pasta, rice + beans, and a very simple stir fry. I didn't know how to make a single thing from scratch, how to add my own spices, how to roast or sauté, or how to bake a cookie. So, after a lot of trial and error, making mistakes, and finally practicing recipes, I learned how to cook on my own. I feel so proud of my growth because I worked HARD for it! So whether you cook, draw, play music, write, hike, garden, put your whole heart into it.
Cooking gave me something to focus on and practice after a tough or exhausting day. It gave me something to make positive progress in. Each new recipe I followed correctly gave me an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and a boost of energy. I felt invincible!
I wasn't looking for cooking to become a therapeutic, post-work ritual, but it did. If the reasons why cooking can be therapeutic resonate with you, trying some simple recipes is a great place to begin. I've attached a couple of my own recipes for you to try. And remember, whatever you choose to do for yourself, do it passionately.

Find Sarah on Instagram and visit her website at www.venzieeats.com.
Try one of Sarah's favorite DELICIOUS recipes: Butternut Squash + Sweet Potato Hash.
Makes About 3 Servings
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 2 Tbsp.olive oil
- Add onion, and sauce until onion becomes translucent, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add diced squash and sweet potato, and cook about 10 minutes, stirring every minute or so (some browning/burnt edges is good!)
- Add about 3 Tbsp. water to the skillet, and cover with a lid. Allow mixture to steam for a few minutes.
- Continue to saute about 10 more minutes, and check for doneness by poking with a fork or taste testing. (If vegetables are still hard, you can steam mixture with a couple Tbsp. water again, and continue to sauté. If mixture is fairly soft, just continue to sauté).
- Add paprika and fresh thyme once mixture is mostly soft, and continue to cook until completely soft.
- Add garlic powder as well as salt + pepper to taste once mixture is soft, and sauté about 30 seconds.
- Add balsamic vinegar, and cook 1 more minute, stirring consistently, allowing vinegar to deglaze the pan and thicken.
- Serve in bowls topped with choice of runny eggs, goat cheese, parmesan, fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, etc!), sliced avocado, hot sauce, hot honey, etc. — Get creative!***Note: Add more oil if the contents of the hash are sticking too much to the pan. The balsamic vinegar added in the last step should deglaze the pan for you at the end, and steaming with water half way through should so the same. This meal is great for breakfast, lunch OR dinner, and I make it for all three!

T-Mobile HTC One pricing set at $99 with monthly installments, no contract
T-Mobile on Tuesday unveiled its new "uncarrier" plans, repeatedly saying during its media event that it's moving away from the carrier pack when it comes to selling on-contract devices.
While still ready to offer high-end smartphones and competitive plans to potential customers, the carrier is killing the mandatory contract and replacing it with a Simple Choice plan starting at $50/month for unlimited talk, text and 500MB of data.
In addition to presenting its new mobile strategy and announcing the firstLTE markets, the carrier has also revealed pricing details for some of its upcoming high-end offerings. One of these devices is HTC's One flagship handset, as the carrier unveiled the price for the device.
The handset will be available for $99 with monthly installments, although it's not clear how much these monthly payments will amount to. Comparatively, the $99 iPhone 5 comes with monthly instalments of $20.
What's clear is that T-Mobile subscribers won't be tied into a two-year contract with the carrier. However, they will have to pay in full for the handset, so they'll still be tied to T-Mobile one way or another.
Launch dates for the T-Mobile HTC One have not been made official though, so we still have to wait for T-Mobile to list the handset on its website.

Online Community of Zenith Builders and Flyers
Thanks Sonny,
Are you scratch building or kit building?
Meeting for breakfast sounds like a great Idea. I have a flight sceduled for this Saturday morning. I could do Sunday or next weekend. I live in the NW both 290 and BW8.
Hello Jerry, let me know if I can help with anything. I have slowed down on my build (hot). I will be getting back at it in a couple of weeks.
What part of Houston do you live?
Thanks for the friend requst.
Hello Jerry,
It's great to hear from you. Yes, I purchased plans for the CH650 about a month ago and have been busy setting up the RAMF aka "RUSSELL AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING FACILITY".......:-). This process is coming along very nicely, my wife is elated to see our two car garage getting cleaned out and organized....FINALLY! I've been studying the plans, viewing construction videos, and purchasing tools (Harbor Freight just opened a store 15 minutes and Aircraft Spruce is approx. 35 minutes away from RAMF.....SWEEEET!).
I attended Sun N Fun from March 29-April 1 (which was quite exciting in more way than one), I got an opportunity to spend time with "The Corvair Authority", William Wynn......I'm DEFINITELY going with the corvair conversion.
I have not started using MyKitLog, but I fully intend on doing so in the near future. You're 10000% correct, it is an invaluable resource, and I thoroughly enjoy viewing the progress photos of fellow builders. It's great to see your progress as well; I will continue to follow your progress as it provides encouragement and inspiration!
Stay Strong and Steady,
Irv Russell aka "Doc"
Atlanta, GA- CH650 #8314
I just noticed that Magnolia is not that far away from Hallsville (just outside Longview). I too am building a 650 but from component kits. I have completed tail section and will take delivery of fuselage after Christmas. Just wanted to let you know there are others of us out here. Oh yea, I agree with the early comment about the DVD's for building. They are 1st class and are a huge help in knowing what and how to do each of the building steps.
Good luck in your building program.

The Prosci change management model is focused on "the people side of change," as they put it on their website.
More commonly known as the ADKAR model, Prosci promotes a change management process that begins from the bottom up — that is, starting with the individual.
Why Prosci Change Management Starts at the Bottom
As many change leaders know, employee motivation is crucial to the completion of any change initiative.
Sucess or failure change often hinges on whether employees adapt or not.
Since people represent the driving force of change in an organization, they can also present the biggest obstacles. For instance:
- Fear of change can spur resistance
- Lack of motivation can slow down an initiative, increase costs, and decrease productivity
- Poor communication can cause employees to feel surprised and trapped, decreasing chances of success
For these reasons — among others — Prosci change management chose to focus on company-wide change that "happens one person at a time."
ADKAR Under a Microscope
As mentioned, the acronym Prosci has created for their change management system is ADKAR, which stands for:
- Awareness of the need for change
- Desire to support the change
- Knowledge of how to change
- Ability to demonstrate skills and behavior
- Reinforcement to make the change stick
Prosci has a well-established track record and is one of the world's most dominant companies when it comes to organizational change.
The ADKAR framework has been under development since 1998 and is used by some of the world's largest companies. Prosci training sessions are focused on the inculcation and application of the ADKAR model.
Applying the Prosci Model
Let's take a closer look at how to actually use the ADKAR model to get results.
In short, ADKAR is applied in 3 phases:
- Current – Before moving from the current state of affairs, employees need to be aware of the necessity for change. They also need the desire to change. Without these two elements, resistance will be high and motivation will be low.
- Transition – Moving from one state to the next requires knowledge and ability. Otherwise, employees may be motivated, but not have the technical capacity to effect change.
- Future – Finally, reinforcement is required after the change is complete. This prevents relapses into the old way of doing things. It also cements the change and makes it clear that this is the "new way."
Following an approach such as this is ideal for effecting emplpoyee-centric change.
But Prosci has more to offer when it comes to organizational development.
Beyond ADKAR – Other Prosci Resources
Prosci change management — like many other change management tools and frameworks — is centered around the ADKAR model.
However, the company also brings other tools to the change management table, such as:
An approach for top-down change, called the 5 B's of Executive Buy-In.
This set of principles is useful for obtaining buy-in and consensus from company leaders.
As you may notice, Prosci is a fan of catchy acronyms — in this case, the rules all start with the letter B:
- Best Practices
- Business Case
- Be Specific
- Be Assertive
- Bring in an Expert
Though ADKAR itself is bottom-up, this rule set provides a tool that change leaders can use for gaining support at the top levels as well.
Defining criteria for effective change managers, which it calls the 4 C's of a World Class Change Manager.
Change managers and change leaders — especially those who are passionate about their work — can improve their skills with these 4 C's:
- Commitment
- Connection
- Communication
- Creativity
This list is one of many acronyms on the site that can become a useful addition to the change leader's toolbox.
The Prosci PCT™ (Project Change Triangle) Model
This model outlines the three elements that every project needs to be successful: leadership/sponsorship, project management, and change management.
A large repository of change management resources
Prosci offers a large selection of resources ranging from blog articles to downloadable content, infographics, checklists, and more.
All of their content is focused on change management, making it an invaluable resource to anyone in this profession.
Training courses and consulting services
Certification is available for change managers that wish to take their skills to the next level. Such courses can, of course, be invaluable for anyone who plans on actively applying Prosci solutions in their organization.
Image source: prosci blog
Organizations can also hire Prosci-certified consultants and change managers through the site, for building change capability, adopting new technology, or adapting to new processes.
Final Thoughts
Clearly, Prosci change management is a leading force in the world of change management and leadership.
However, it is not the only change management framework. There are many other change management tools, exercises, techniques, and frameworks out there, some of which have decades-long histories.
We discuss many of these in-depth on the WalkMe Change Blog.
Due to the authority and positioning of Prosci's change models, it is definitely worth further investigation … especially for anyone who wants to create, manage, and lead change in their organization.

WalkMe spearheaded the Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) for associations to use the maximum capacity of their advanced resources. Utilizing man-made consciousness, AI, and context-oriented direction, WalkMe adds a powerful UI layer to raise the computerized proficiency, everything being equal.

What Is the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire?
The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire is the result of the work of Sybil B. G. Eysenck and Hans Jürgen Eysenck. It is a personal assessment based around the idea that certain portions of an individual's personality are largely genetic, rather than being learned throughout a lifetime. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, also abbreviated as EPQ, is designed to assess these relatively stable traits. It was originally designed with just two broad categories: extroversion or introversion, and neuroticism or stability. Over time, the EPQ was modified to add a third category, psychoticism or socialization. Many free versions of this test are available online, and certain psychologists may still give them to patients, though this is less common.
Each one of the three large categories in the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire is designed to measure a series of smaller personality traits. For instance, a person who is extroverted might describe himself or herself as being talkative, social, and someone who enjoys being in large groups. An introvert may be uncomfortable in large groups, may be a much quieter or more reserved person, and enjoy being alone. The introversion/extroversion determination is found in a wide variety of personality assessments, not just the EPQ, since it is thought to be one of the most stable across a person's life.
The neuroticism/stability categories and psychoticism/socialization categories are divided similarly. A person who falls on the "neurotic" side of the spectrum may be more prone to anxiety and getting upset in certain situations, and have less ability to control their emotions, while a person who is more stable will be able to control his or her responses more, and will be less likely to get anxious. A high score in the psychoticism indicator does not necessarily indicate a higher risk factor for psychosis; more generally, it just indicates a person who may be more aggressive or egocentric than others.
Typically, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire is designed with a set number of questions, each of which has a simple yes or no answer, rather than more complex quizzes that may force people to choose from a spectrum of answers. There are a number of different personality traits that can be assessed from this quiz; for instance, introversion, neuroticism, and socialization may all be combined into one personality, or any other combination of the three. All of these will then suggest different traits that may dictate a person's behavior throughout his or her life. Perhaps not surprisingly, significant disagreement exists between psychologists regarding the reliability and practical applications of this particular test in comparison to other methods of personality assessment.

Is a 245 45r18 fine on the stock wheel? I got a sweet deal on a set of them and their new.
It'll fit on the wheel, it will be both wider and taller than OE though.Is a 245 45r18 fine on the stock wheel? I got a sweet deal on a set of them and their new.

EDIT: .4" wider and 1.28" (keeping in mind those measurements are overall width and height)
It might a little since they are going to be so tall compared to OE, it'll look funny for sure. Personally I wouldn't do it. It honestly might rub while turning if you stuffed the tire and compressed the suspension.Do you think that it'll have a huge impact on cornering or only a little. I'm stock height too with sway bars
If you like gigantic balloon looking sidewalls get them.
its the bfg comp as2Depending on the actual tire you could come extremely close to rubbing your spring seat under cornering, or scratching your spring seat if you get a rock stuck in the tread. Handling will degrade due to more sidewall. I would not recommend this tire size.
View attachment 222201
If you got 40 instead of 45 it would be fine. 45 is kinda tall so it'll look kinda bad, possibly rub, etc. I would not be going with this tire if it were me.its the bfg comp as2
Yeah I honestly wouldnt mind the 45 sidewall for looks. But looks isnt really my main concern. I can get a whole set for 300 and thats a good deal for these bfgs. I only know one other guy that has them, and he told me it rubs when hitting bumps very very hard.Funny people thinking 45 profile is bulbous.. I was going to try 245/45/18 but got a basically new set of 245/40/18 for $275 couldn't pass it up.
I definitely prefer styling and handling of larger sidewall, plus this car needs so much more gearing.. I'm used to cars that run <2krpm at 70.. I think my 300 was about 1500 at 70.
In my Fiesta I wouldn't set cruise control past 65 cause 2500rpm seems like it's screaming on the highway...
Someday hope to get some 17's so I can get a proper 50 series sidewall.

Rubbing on the shocks?I had 245/40/18 Comp 2s on my stock wheels, those rubbed under hard cornering. Definitely would not suggest 245/45/18s with out some kind of spacer.
No fenders or suspension to get in the way.I mean, tall sidewalls still work for Ferrari F1

US-trained engineer is new Libyan PM
Libya's national congress has chosen American-trained optical engineer Mustafa Abu Shagour as its new prime minister, a day after Islamist gunmen killed the United States ambassador to the country.
Mr Shagour edged out wartime rebel premier Mahmoud Jibril 96-94 in a second-round vote that was shown live on national television.
As government chief Mr Shagour will be responsible for the day-to-day running of Libya's oil-based economy while the national congress elected in July passes laws and helps draft a new constitution for the north African state.
It will be put to a national referendum next year.
"There is so much to do," Mr Shagour said after his win, citing improving security and providing services as his priorities.
The vote was overshadowed by the killing of the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans in an attack on the US consulate and a safe house refuge in Benghazi.
"It makes security high on my priorities," Mr Shagour said.
The incoming prime minister carved out a career as an academic in the US, where he did some work for NASA, before returning to Libya last year where he was an adviser to the now dissolved National Transitional Council.
He was appointed a deputy to prime minister Abdurrahim El-Keib in November and honed his negotiating skills in government, acting as Tripoli's point man on a number of delicate national and international assignments.
In March he led a delegation to Mauritania to seek the extradition of Gaddafi's former spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi, who was eventually flown to Tripoli last week.
Mr Shagour has also travelled frequently to the south of Libya to negotiate between the country's fractious tribes.

STATEN ISLAND — Volunteers helping residents of areas on Staten Island hit hard by Hurricane Sandy are asking the city for a little help of their own — free tolls on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Members of Occupy Sandy, a volunteer group spun-off from the Occupy Wall Street movement, started an online petition asking the city to put a three-month moratorium on the tolls for Verrazano bridge to lower the costs to volunteers paying $13 each day to cross.
"The whole goal is to allow for aid to be expeditious, to rebuild, to get family back in home with heat and electricity as quickly as possible," said Matthew Hillyer, a volunteer with Occupy Sandy who posted the petition. "That's being undermined by the toll. If you take the toll away you speed up the process."
The petition went live last week and at the time of writing surpassed the original 5,000 signature goal with 5,510 signatures. The group has set a new goal of 7,500 signatures.
The group has sent the petition to the MTA, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor Andrew Cuomo, Hillyer said.
With the cost of tolls at $13 — and a potential rise to $15 in March — Hillyer said that volunteers can barely afford to drive supplies, food and people over the bridge from Brooklyn to volunteer.
"Our organizers are sending car loads of supplies and volunteers every single day," said Hillyer, a Bushwick resident who volunteers on Staten Island 4 to 5 days a week. "If we're making round trips, we cross the bridge there and back multiple times a day."
Occupy Sandy has an average of 2,500 volunteers in Staten Island on weekends, and 1,250 on weekdays who work out of different community hubs in New Dorp Beach, Midland Beach, South Beach, Hillyer said.
However, a lot of potential volunteers can't make the trip out to Staten Island because of the high price of tolls, Hillyer said. Instead, they choose to volunteer on other boroughs, he said.
"Our numbers suggest that a lot of people don't go to Staten Island because of the cost prohibitiveness," he said.
"We want those areas to receive aid as well but not at the neglect of Staten Island," he said.
Some of those who signed the petition also said the cost of tolls were a deterrent to volunteering on the borough.
"Would love to help in Staten Island but the tolls are to [sic] expensive for someone on a limited income," wrote Sharron Sellick on the petition. "If the toll wasn't involved, more people would aid in recovery and SI would get back to normal much faster then the schedule is moving now."
Others around the city also had similar ideas to the Occupy petition and have asked the MTA to simply lift the tolls for relief workers and volunteers.
At a recent public hearing on the toll hikes in Staten Island, Brooklyn Councilman Vincent Gentile said that he also wrote a letter to the MTA's Bridges and Tunnel to remove the tolls over the bridge for volunteer workers.
"I demanded that the MTA Bridges and Tunnels immediately suspend tolls on the Verrazano Bridge for relief workers," Gentile said. "Volunteer lead groups have been absolutely crucial to the recovery in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Local relief organizations have been struggling to send their volunteers with supplies to Staten Island, because $13 adds up very quickly."
However, a spokeswoman from the MTA was that it was extremely unlikely bridge toll would be lifted for any amount of time.
"I seriously doubt this," she said.

A question every fanboy will ask at some point is when is enough, enough? So could a show based on Alfred, famous butler to Bruce Wayne be too much?Bleeding Cool is reporting that the WB has registered a trademark for Pennyworth, a possible move to make a TV show on the famous surrogate father of Batman. Over the past decade or so many sides of the butler have been played in various forms. The Beware the Batman cartoon and Earth One graphic novel both showed off a very different side to the character, being a mentor and training partner for Bruce in his early days of being Batman. The 60's TV show, Animated Series and Nolan movies all portrayed him as a caregiver, doing what Bruce needed, but not giving him much tactical support. And now the new film version, played by Jeremy Irons, appears from the trailer to be much more involved in the the operations of the Batman.
The question is can he hold the attention of audience on his own? Shows like Gotham and Smallville have been successful, but shows like Birds of Prey and Mercy Reef, both failed because there was not enough of the heroes that inspired them in the show. I think Alfred is fascinating character within the Batman world, but not sure he can hold his own without the Waynes. Would the show be just watching him be a spy in the 70's/80's? If that is the case what separates him from James Bond? Alfred has been the stand out on Gotham in some ways more fascinating than Gordon, the star of the show. I'm not sure a show so far removed from the center of his origins would work.
Not to mention that he is an active character on a TV show and in a film, it goes against everything that WB/DC have done in the past, sharing a character in so many ways. WB tends to keep things separate, not allowing mixing or over use of their big characters, so why a secondary character at this time?
What do you think would you watch a spy thriller with Alfred in the title role? And who would you want to play him?

Last Tuesday we ventured out to Cambridge to witness the university's world class reputation for academic excellence as well as to gain a comprehensive understanding of the city's rich history. We thought it would also be a prime opportunity to find ourselves preppy boyfriends with British accents.
The weather in London had been quite mild and not as cold as we had expected, so
we I presumed it would be similar and dressed accordingly (i.e. cropped jeans, sneakers, light sweaters). It was not similar to London because it was FREEZING. We ate so much that day because we were always trying to find somewhere warm to defrost our faces. The walk from the train station into the city was a few kilometres so by the time we got into the heart of Cambridge, we were well and truly frozen.
Whilst we didn't succeed on the boyfriend hunt, we did leave:
a) with an appreciation for warm clothes (which we did not have);
b) wishing Australian universities had as much history as Cambridge and;
c) thankful for Chelsea Buns and hot chocolates.
Ankle freezers. Literally. #notimpressed
The original Cambridge University Press.
Wren Library at Trinity College was fascinating! Unfortunately we weren't able to take photos but it's home to many rare and valuable items (including an original manuscript of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh!), most bequeathed by past students of the college.
Tomorrow we are off to the Palace of Versailles, which is another one of my favourite places to visit in Paris. Marie Antoinette's estate is a must see – it's so charming!

We have been meeting fairly regularly on Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. as a circuit. This has allowed us to see each other's faces, and try to get some questions answered.
In our weekly Zoom yesterday, we determined that it might be helpful to move a little more intentionally into a learning mode for a while. To that end, we have 3 "webinars" lined up.
- Attention-Getting and Keeping
- Zoom and Other Online Technologies
- Staying Afloat During Financial Uncertainty
The first one of these will be led by our friend, Mark Schoepp. Here is what Mark writes about the webinar:
The Brain: How To Get and Keep Attention
With Mark Schoepp
We'll explore:
- How the brain wires itself
- Three words to use as shorthand for 'brain-friendly' planning: Structure, Anticipation, Resolution.
- Implications for worship, Bible Study, Confirmation, online presence, etc. Video examples help make things clear; group interaction encouraged.
- Date: Tuesday, April 28
- Time: 10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
- Place: ZOOM with information as follows:
Meeting ID: 469 721 0444
Password: 469494
We hope you will join us. This is an area that Mark has done a lot of work in over the years, and promises to be an engaging topic.
See you next week!

Abstract: There exists linear algorithms to recognize weak-bisplit graphs and NP-complete optimization problems are efficiently resolved for this class of graphs. In this paper, using weak-decomposition, we give necessary a sufficient conditions for a graph to be weak-bisplit, bi-cograph, weak-bisplit cograph. We also give an algorithm O(n+m) to determine, the density of a weak-bisplit cograph and we calculate directly the domination number for this class of graphs.
Keywords: Weak-bisplit graphs, Bi-cographs, Weak-bisplit cographs.

1. Introduction
Throughout this paper G=(V,E) is a simple (i.e. finite, undirected, without loops and multiple edges) graph [2]. Let co– denote the complement graph of G. For UV let G(U) denote the subgraph of G induced by U. By G–X we mean the graph G(V–X), whenever XV, but we often denote it simply by G–v (V) when there is no ambiguity. If vV is a vertex in G, the neighborhood NG(n)denotes the vertices of G–v that are adjacent to v. We write N(v) when the graph G appears clearly from the context. The neighborhood of the vertex v in the complement of the graph G is denoted by . For any subset S of vertices in the graph G the neighborhood of S is and N[S]=SN(S). A clique is a subset of V with the property that all the vertices are pairwise adjacent. The clique number (density) of G, denoted by (G) is the cardinal of the maximum clique. A clique cover is a partition of the vertices set such that each part is a clique. (G) is the cardinal of a smallest possible clique cover of G; it is called the clique cover number of G. A stable (or independent) set is a subset of V with the property that all the vertices are pairwise non-adjacent. The stability number of G is (G)=; the chromatic number of G is (G)=.
A dominating set for a graph G = (V, E) is a subset D of V such that every vertex not in D is joined to at least one member of D by some edge. The domination number γ(G) is the number of vertices in a smallest dominating set for G.
By we mean a chordless path on n3 vertices, the chordless cycle on n3 vertices, and the complete graph on n1 vertices. If e=xyE, we also denote x~y; we also denote x≁y whenever x, y are not adjacent in G. A set A is totally adjacent (non adjacent) with a set B of vertices (AB=) if ab is (is not) edge, for any a vertex in A and any b vertex in B; we note denote A~B (A≁B). A graph G is F-free if none of its induced subgraphs is in F.
The subset AV is called a cutset if G–A is not connected. If, in addition, none of the proper subsets of A is a cutest, then A is called a minimal cutset .
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we give preliminary results. In Section 3 we give a characterization of weak-bisplit graphs.

I am attempting to read the Haskell 2010 standard at http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/ It is very helpful and much less obscure than I feared it would be. What you say about the levels seems reasonable to me now, and I begin dimly to see an outline of a translation to non-New Type Theory stuff, which may help me to enter the World of New Type Theory. One difficulty which must impede many who study this stuff is that just getting off the ground seems to require a large number of definitions of objects of logically different kinds. (By "logic" I mean real logic, not any particular formalized system.) We must have "expressions", values, type expressions, rules of transformation at the various levels, the workings of the type/kind/context inference system, etc., to get started. Seemingly Basic and Scheme require less, though I certainly mention expressions and values and types and objects-in-the-Lisp-world in my Standard Rant on^W^WIntroduction to Scheme. oo--JS.
