It was a summer evening in 1978, perhaps on a calendar day close to where I am right now in my SP78 season, and my parents had taken my brother, sister, and I out to dinner at our local McDonald's in Escondido, California. Their current promotion, apparently available only at Southern California restaurants, featured a baseball quiz card given to customers with every Big Mac purchase; the prize was a free Big Mac to fans who answered the multiple-choice quiz question correctly. As you can see, I did just that, during the drive home after leaving the restaurant:
And it wasn't guesswork, either: I actually knew the answer to the question, without the luxury of on-line stats, scores, and game recaps instantly available at my fingertips. Instead, I studied the daily sports pages and the annual Street & Smith baseball guides, and I watched ABC's Monday Night Baseball and the NBC Game of the Week on Saturdays, and went to Padres games at San Diego Stadium whenever I could. I actually cared about baseball back then, which made answering this question a cinch.
And as you've noticed, I kept this particular game card, which means I did not get myself a free Big Mac on my next visit to McDonald's that summer. But that's okay…I'm glad I still own this rare piece of baseball memorabilia, since that Big Mac would've been long gone and forgotten by now. I tried to find another quiz card like this one on-line, but even eBay doesn't have one to offer, so maybe mine has some real value to it. Or maybe it's worth nothing more than a Big Mac…just as long as I redeem it before October 8, 1978.

Millennium Development Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability
The natural resources base and ecosystems must be managed sustainably to meet people's food requirements and other environmental, social and economic needs. Climate change, increased water scarcity and conflicts over access to resources all pose challenges to environmental sustainability and food security.
Hunger and poverty often compel the poor to over-exploit the resources on which their own livelihoods depend. Strategies, polices and institutions for conserving, protecting, and enhancing natural resources should be strengthened to provide an enabling environment and should be based on the specific resource constraints faced in any given location.
FAO supports sustainable natural resource management including agricultural water use efficiency; land and soil productivity; sustainable forest management, aquaculture and inland fisheries; integrated crop and livestock systems; pesticide management and watershed management.
FAO also supports the major UN Environmental Conventions notably Biological Diversity, Desertification and Climate Change. FAO's agriculture, natural resources, forestry, fisheries, social and economic and technical programmes devote considerable portions of their resources and effort to meet the MDG7 and related targets.
MDG7 has four targets
- Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resources
- Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss
- Halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation
- Achieve, by 2020, a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers

Thank you for your suggestions of animal patterns. This was suggested by Eliz Davis. This dragon pattern is from Martha Ess.
I used the Daruma Lace Size 30 threads. These dragons are about 4 inches in length. The red baby dragon is a little hunched back because, as usual I misread the pattern.

Oh I love making lists. And I like to complete a goal too. But usually my goals need a bit more time also. I think I realized that for me I a happier setting the goal than if I ever complete them. Or at least some of them. Gorgeous travel journal and I hope you have a great T day Kate. hugs-Erika
A Man And His Travels: Seth Apter Inspired Mini Album
Travel List
It's January and I am hoping to catch up on all the projects that I have put off. Do you have a long list of things to complete this year? I love making lists, whether it be books to read, craft projects to complete or just a list of daily to-do's. I have found that a lot of things that were on my list last year made it to my list again this year. The other day I opened a book to browse and found my list of goals from last year. I did complete a few things but quite a few are the same for this year. Making lists is a great motivation for me. Even if I don't complete everything on the lists I still feel a sense of accomplishment that I set goals.
Perhaps I will make some pretty journals to house my lists. Do you make journals for your to-do lists?
Creating the Layouts
Here are a few more pages in my Seth Apter Journal.
My base pages were covered in book paper and stained with Vintage photo. I then layered stamped tissue paper and dyed baby wipes over top. I embellished using Seth Apter PaperArtsy stamps and a TH paper doll. The tag was covered in Asian character washi tape and wrapped in black thread.

Tea Day
It's tea day and I am joining in with the tea ladies over at Elizabeth and Bleubeard's. I am drinking my daily cuppa of Tiesta Tea Fruity Pebbles Loose Leaf Green Tea Slenderizer Blend. AAnd I though I would share the book I am currently reading. The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow.
I am halfway through the book and it is keeping my attention. It is about a young girl that works as a shop girl for the largest and finest department store in London. The night before opening day, the beautiful Clock Work Sparrow, is stolen from the store's exhibition and an employee is shot. Suspicion is put upon the young shop girl and she goes on a mission with two of her friends to find the sparrow and clear her name.
Happy Tea Day!

wonderful rich looking journal pages with fab layers and textures-you do it so well Kate! Happy T day!
I love the pages you shared…the color and textures are amazing!!
Happy T day!
great art piece and you always serve up the best teas
I am not a list person at all-except for a shopping list when I go into town lol
Happy T Kathy
LOVE your beautiful little journal. I don't make to do lists, though, I just sort of muddle though everything. Your book sounds great, I would enjoy reading it, too. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
Like the look of your journal and the great ideas.
Such a beautiful bright mug and the book seems like a nice read so I have saved it to find later.
Have a really Happy T Day
Love Chrissie xx
Wonderful pages – gorgeous! I love your style so much!
Yes I am like you – lists, lists and again lists .. but just loose pieces of paper, as when I have done the things I can discard the slips of paper.
Sounds to be a good book and your teas always are special!
Happy T-Day dear Kate! Have a great week!
Its a fabulous mini album Kate, I love the vintage style and colour tones as well as all the layers you add to your projects.
Your fruity tea sound delicious and good to have close by when reading a good book.
Happy T day wishes Kate.
Yvonne xx
Your mini album looks great. Happy T-Day!
all the layers and texture here, so awesome!! and a hint of turquoise among the brown always is a good choice:)
happy t-day! ♥
Yes, I am a list maker, but never thought about putting them in a journal…….I just keep them in my planners , on sticky notes LOL!
I really like your mini album.
Happy T-day
Except for trips to the grocery store I don't make lists, and I keep my goals/resolutions for the new year to a minimum. They are mainly an effort to make sure I don't stagnate anyway lol, so getting tied to a list is counterproductive. Except, as I said, for the grocery store where without one I end up buying things I don't need while forgetting things I do 😉
Happy T Tuesday!
Yes, I am a list person. Like you I make lists for everything andit helps me get things done. But I don't worry too much if I don't get them done. They will pass on to the next days' list. But I think I will want to write my lists in a little note book or something so that I can find lists from before.
Your idea of a mini album is a good thought. The one you made is beautiful. I love the vintage colours and the oriental feel about it.
Your mug is fun. What does it say? Secret mermaid? Now that is fun. I've not read that book, or heard of it but it sounds interesting.
I have now learnt that one can't do comments on an ipad, so I apologise for all those occasions that I appear not to have commented (I always do) and from now on I will use my desk top computer even if it means being a day late as we are always away on Tuesdays.
Happy T-Day,
Amazing journal! The vintage style and colour palette is perfect with those PaperArtsy stamps- I love it 😁. I always make lists as I like to be organised and ticking things off gives me a sense of achievement which means I tend to get more things done …lol 😉. Your book sounds interesting too and it would be a great read with a nice cup of that fruity tea! Enjoy and Happy Tea Day! J 😊 x
I used to make lots of lists and have them all over the house, Kate. Now I just make shopping lists and inventory lists for freezer and fridge – lol.
Your Seth Apter inspired album pages are fabulous! Did you know that Elizabeth is a big fan and had one of her works published in a Seth Apter book?
Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
Because my dollhouse is so small, all my list now are done electronically. No matter when you get to it, it's very satisfying to cross something off the list.. Your journal is just awesome. Enjoy filling it up while sipping your splendid tea. Happy T Day
Love the journal page. I do make lists and forget where they are and find them much later. I don't make journal for them.
I wrote that book down to look into reading. I ma into books by Lisa Wingate right now. Several series and stand alone novels, too. Happy T Day!
Love your journal, Kate! I am an avid list maker and always feel a sense of accomplishment when I can cross things off at the end of the day. I keep my to-do lists in my Katie Daisy planner, then throw them away once everything has been crossed off. Lists like 'books to read' I write in the planner for a permanent record. Happy T Day!
Hi Kate! I do make lists occasionally but it is not a regular thing for me. The only list I do make on a regular basis is my shopping list and that is done on my phone so that I don't leave it at home! Must say though, when I have made lists, and actually finished even some of the things on it, I do feel quite pleased with myself! LOL!!
Love your journal pages! Fabulous colour and amazing textures. Absolutely gorgeous! hugs xx
Thank you for joining T yesterday. I'm so pleased you showed up, even though I was unavailable. Please check my Wednesday post I still haven't written to see where I have been. I'll be back soon to visit and see what I have missed. For now, just be aware, I am so grateful for your visit and continued support of T Tuesday, dear Kate.
I am a list maker for almost everything – not that I'm forgetful!!!!!
I love this mini journal with it's glorious colour and texture!
Belated Happy T day, Chrisx

What is a 1031 Exchange? You'll be glad you asked!
A 1031 Exchange can be a bit tricky. Be sure to have two people helping you to make sure all steps are followed and completed, your RST Homes agent and a 1031 Qualified Intermediary.
1031 Exchange refers to section 1031 if the internal revenue code. This gives investors the ability to defer capital gains and the recapture of depreciation on the exchange of business use or investment property/properties for another business use or investment property. Please note that personal residences DO NOT quality and property MUST be in the United States. Here at RST Homes we can help you with find those "Real Property" business use or investment properties for your 1031 exchange(s).
A 1031 Exchange Explained
In a 1031 exchange transaction there are two parts that must happen to be successful. A "transfer" of relinquished property and an "acquisition" of replacement property. Sounds easy enough but there are requirements and timelines in which you have to complete this exchange correctly. If the requirement and timelines are not met then the whole 1031 process is unable to be completed and all taxes are due.
The 3 Requirements
The first is the "like-kind" requirement. This is a very broad term, real estate has to be exchanged for real estate, but you can exchange different types of real estate. Examples can be raw land for an apartment building or an apartment building for retail center or an office building for a warehouse. All are real estate and all can be used for business use or investors.
The second is the "same taxpayer" requirement. However the title was recorded on the relinquished property is the same manner in which the new replacement property must be recorded. There are a few exceptions to this rule and can be discussed further with a 1031 exchange professional.
The third is the "deadlines" There are three dates that are VERY important
- The date your relinquished property was recorded, day 1 starts the day after closing
- Identification Period - 45 days from the date your relinquished property was recorded
- Exchange Period - 180 days from the date your relinquished property was recorded (or the due date of the taxpayers federal income tax return, together with all extensions)
Further Understanding
Now that we've scratched the surface let's get a little more thorough.
Identifying properties there are 3 rules you can choose from and 1 must be selected in the identification period.
- The 3-property rule – up to three properties can be identified without regard to their fair market value.
- The 200% rule – here you can identify as many properties as you want as long as the fair market value does not exceed 200% of the relinquished property/properties.
- 95% Exception – Any number of properties at any value can be identified as long as 95% of the identified properties are acquired. (Rarely Used)
The other note to make is how to have a fully deferred exchange. This makes sure all funds from the relinquished property are used to that no taxes are due.
- The replacement property/properties must be equal or greater in value
- You must invest ALL monies from the relinquished property/properties into the replacement property/properties
- You must re-acquire debt equal or greater to the debt paid off from the relinquished property. Or replace the debt with additional cash.
If you have further questions, please Contact us and let us know!!

Welcome to ACT Alberta
Our vision is an Alberta free of human trafficking.
ACT Alberta works in collaboration with local, provincial and national partners to identify, respond to and prevent human trafficking.
We coordinate and provide services to individuals experiencing human trafficking, provide training and education, conduct research and data analysis and build capacity for community based response.
" The violence got worse as time went on. One day, the police found me sleeping in an alley after he locked me out of the apartment. I was visibly hurt and terrified. The police put me in touch with ACT Alberta. They helped me access supports like safe shelter and trauma therapy. They also arranged for me to get help with my addictions. I'm 22 now, and I've finally gotten my high school diploma. I still struggle with my addictions, but I'm enrolled in a social work program and feel like for the first time things might turn out okay. "
" They took my passport and worked me very hard. I eventually fell ill and they took me to a hospital. The Doctor was worried about my condition – I was young, pregnant, scared and couldn't speak any English. The person who drove me to the hospital for my employer never left my side and answered everything on my behalf. The hospital staff believed something was very wrong and called the police. After many questions and an overnight at a safe shelter, I met with ACT Alberta. They were my advocate. They helped me apply for a Temporary Resident Permit and arranged for me to be supported while police investigated my employer and his massage clinic. Despite all of the supports I was getting, I felt isolated and longed for my family and my home. ACT Alberta helped pay for my way back home and I am working on moving forward with life again. "
" I didn't know what to do or where to find help. One day I passed out on the job from fatigue and hunger. The nurse attending me was suspicious about my situation, and she connected me with ACT Alberta. With their help, I received an open work permit. They connected me to a free food service to get me on my feet and arranged for long-term safe housing for me. They supported me through this frightening time. I now have Permanent Resident status and am in the process of bringing my wife and two sons over from the Philippines. "
" After 2 years, I just couldn't take it anymore. In a state of total fear, I escaped out the back door when everyone in the house was asleep. I found a public phone and called the police. They introduced me to the Victim Response Coordinator at ACT Alberta while they continued their investigation of the person who had abused me for so long. ACT Alberta worked with me to get the services I needed, including support from a sexual assault centre and health care. They helped me with laying charges against my abuser after I decided that I wanted to. I couldn't afford trauma counselling although I was in desperate need of it, so ACT Alberta paid the fees so I could start healing. Although I know I have a long road ahead of me, I am finally working through my trauma and pain. "
Official Release of The Calgary Community Action Plan on Human Trafficking
After many months of engaging communities, organizations and stakeholders, ACT Alberta is delighted to announce the Launch of the Calgary Community Action Plan on Human Trafficking (CCAP). The full report is released and you can view it here.

The climate in the Untied States is a little heated, and I'm not talking about the weather. If you are finding that you and your family are a little stressed out, try doing a few things to redirect your emotions.
1. Hug your pet. Studies have found that interaction with your pet(s) has positive results for your mood and your body.
2. Go for a walk or hike. A great method for getting rid of the blues is moving your body. A time-honored method for healing the brain.
3. For an easy quick reset. Try hugging someone you love. Human interaction is an excellent way to chase away a negative emotion and reset your brain. Kids respond very well to this, so the next time your kid has a melt-down, just give them a hug.
4. Try listening to some upbeat music. Music has some wonderful effects on the brain. It's not just great for your mood. (make sure kids don't listen to it too loud!)
5. Write down. This may help keep things in perspective long enough for you to work them out.
6. Get out the pens, crayons or paint and start an art project. Art is a great way for kids to express themselves. Not into drawing? Try some quilting, woodworking or gardening. All have a way of redirecting and calming the mind.
When you get stressed out and can't get away to do an activity you love, try counting (or reciting the ABCs when around your kids). Teaching your kids how to manage stress at an early age, will have life long benefits.
I am not a health care professional. If you feel you are in need of one or you are in a life threatening situation, call 911. Stay safe!

Pila is a beautiful, abstract puzzler that looks a bit like ancient iconography at first glance. Its circles and arcs float in a timeless black space brought into the future by crisscrossing wires and an electric blue and orange color scheme. It manages to simultaneously feel aged and completely fresh, intimidating and inviting, esoteric and understandable.
Once you begin playing Pila, its instruction-less gameplay explains itself with every tap you make. Your only goal is to get the smallest circle into the basketlike opening located somewhere on-screen. Every stage begins by launching the ball from its plunger; it will fly straight ahead until it runs into something. If that something is another circle, the plunger, or any of the tendril-covered backsides of the goal or the arcs scattered about the level, the ball will stop and reset. To guide the ball safely past these obstacles, you'll need to rotate the curved platforms so it rolls smoothly across them and changes course, like a marble in a sliding maze when it hits a wall.
The curved platforms are controlled by buttons connected via the intricate and, at times, intimidating collection of wires strewn about the screen. While this initially appears to add a layer of unraveling to the equation—backtracking from the platform you want to move to find which button controls it—you can tap the buttons freely and as much as you like before ever launching the ball, so it's simply a matter of tapping and seeing what moves. Later levels add some extra complexity by throwing in multiple platforms connected to the same button which rotate together, or platforms that are rotated via other means, such as buttons that the ball itself must touch.
Even before you get to these more complex levels, Pila is a challenging game. While very early stages will only require you to rotate a few platforms and then send the ball on its way, watching as it slides to the goal unimpeded, the difficulty ramps up quickly. You'll soon be sending the ball off one side of the screen and back onto the opposite—a ball that floats off the bottom of the screen will reappear in the same column at the top—in addition to rotating platforms mid-run when the ball inevitably crosses the same area going a different direction. You not only have to plan out the route in advance, thinking through multiple steps—"this platform needs to face left on the first pass but right on the second"—but you also have to enact those movements mid-run without impacting the ball and while remembering which button to press.
It's a complicated, mentally taxing ballet of taps and turns that will inevitably require many do-overs, but when everything comes together it's oh-so satisfying. The ball effortlessly glides through each curve, completely predictable in its constant speed and direction, yet delicately easy to lose control over. One wrong tap or arrangement will send it floating off-course and outside of reach, forcing you to start again. When the perfect series of turns is executed just right, you're treated to a smooth route that almost feels automated, except for all the effort you just put in.
Pila's biggest problem is that it doesn't encourage or reward testing routes and physically planning things out. Every time the ball hits an obstacle or gets off course, the entire level is slowly "erased" and fades away to nothingness, then is redrawn as it was at the very beginning. While this is lovely and interesting the first few times, it takes about five seconds for a level to be broken down and rebuilt: this might not seem like very long, but five seconds of waiting every time you make a mistake is a frustrating punishment.
Another issue with the reset system is that you lose any adjustments you've made. If you've figured out the correct starting positions for all the arcs, you'll have to tap each one to rotate them back where you want them every time you reset. We realize that later stages could not only reset the ball since it actually impacts where some platforms end up. However, if Pila merely reset the ball and any platforms it had changed and left the player-controlled platforms as they were, it would not only save a lot of repeated efforts but also let players physically think through puzzles more effectively. We personally like to move a platform and see how that affects our layout by actually shooting the ball at it. With the current setup, you essentially have to mentally and air-swipingly plot everything out and hope you're right—or deal with a lot of resetting and redoing if you're not.
If you can accept the less hands-on approach to puzzle-solving, Pila is a rewarding experience. Its difficulty often borders on hair-tearingly challenging, but its lack of a timer, move limits, score, or the like let you focus simply on getting to the goal in whatever way possible. It doesn't feel quite like any other puzzler we've played in recent years, instead bringing together a unique mix of mazes, train shunting, crossed wire brainteasers, and a touch of pinball to create something fresh and (at times frustratingly) fun.

Freelance writing is a great way to make extra money. You can make it your full time job or supplement an existing incomes. You can work as little or as much as you want and you can negotiate the delivery and terms of the work. There are five very important things to remember. In order to avoid scams, be wary of the client who grossly overpays, watch for a client who has a lot of odd conditions, be ethical and stay way from work that might be sketchy, the client with no contract, and always get an escrow for the job.
While it is nice to encounter a client who pays a nice amount in a quick time, be wary of someone who promises you the moon. You need to know that many a writer has been scammed because of the lure of easy money. Make sure to read the contract carefully when your customer offers you a large amount of payment.
If the client has a lot of exceptions or "what if" conditions in the contract, you might want to reconsider the job. The customers who have simple agreements that are clearly written and usually honest and trustworthy.
Make sure the request for the work is legitimate. You do not want to completely write someone's dissertation or to steal from another person's work. If you feel uncomfortable about the job, there is probably a good reason for that.
If you take a job without a contract or any form of written agreement, you have no legal papers or grounds to stand on if the employer does not pay you all or some of your money. Make sure to read the contract very carefully and then sign it.
An escrow is money held by a third party that will be released when a job is finished. It is a great way to ensure that your boss has the money to pay you and that he or she will actually pay you. You should always work with an escrow when you freelance.
You will love being a freelancer. Just follow these five simple rules to stay safe and secure!

Electromagnetic Environmental Compatibility
Potential vortex, scalar waves & alternative energy
Experimental- and Demo-Kit
As a result of common demand and frequently asked questions during the breaks and after the recitations of Prof. Dr. Meyl (e.g. how does an energy transmission line work? and what kind of single components have to be used? etc) we decided to develop a demonstration-kit and an experimentation-kit to allow interested practitioners to gain experience and to make experiments by themselves.
So with these two kits you are able to research the characteristics of Tesla coils, dependency of the resonant frequency concerning position and size of the ball electrode and varieties of the systems resonance depending on changes of the distance between transmitter and receiver by yourself.
The main goal is to achieve reproducible measurements, which cannot be done by a simple instruction guide but otherwise doubters often only believe in results of measurements acquired by their own devices. Therefore connection possibilities for external measuring devices are provided.
The Demo-Kit contains a simple waveform generator from 4 MHz up to 8 MHz, a pair of pancake coils with different resistance usable in various configurations as well as the required accessories. It allows to arrange a complete scalar transmission line without further equipment e.g. for demonstration purposes. It's possible to purchase the different components separately. (For those who already own adequate equipment or want to expand the set).
The Experimental-Kit contains an extended waveform generator from 135 kHz up to 10 MHz and an additional frequency counter and two additional pairs of pancake coils with half and twice of the wirelength. A specification of the set with theoretical explanations and practical instructions about the setup is also included in both kits.
We are very interested in your measurements and conclusions and would be pleased, if you could send us your results. It would be helpful, if these are structured like the experiment descriptions in the book "Scalar Wave Technology". Both kits are available in our shop.

Muse on the Dangers of Technology in Jessica Chiarella's "And Again"
Jessica Chiarella's adult science-fiction novel And Again tells the story of four terminally ill patients who are given the chance to start a new life in genetically perfected versions of their bodies.
However, each of the protagonists struggle with their identities when they receive the transplant: Hannah, an artist, has to re-learn how to hold a brush; David, who was a Congressman, struggles to not return to his vices; Connie, who worked as an actress, has to navigate an industry that is obsessed with physical beauty; and Linda has to learn how to re-connect with her family.
Chiarella forces you to muse on when it is appropriate to draw the line with scientific advances. Is it morally okay to clone humans if you are going to use the technology to save the lives of terminally ill patients?
All these questions and more will be resounding in the back of readers' heads as they follow the four main characters on their fresh start in life and their desperate attempt to regain a bit of normalcy.
The author also uses the character's journeys to explore the nature of identity as they realize some aspects of their former lives cannot be transferred and forces the readers to ponder if our physical bodies dictate who we are.
Chiarella's novel And Again is a heartbreaking exploration of what it means to be human as well as the moral dangers of scientific advancement.

Eric Church: Diaper Duty Dad and Other Surprising Facts
Well, I didn't know this about Eric Church. Would you have taken him for the diaper-changing dad-on-a-tour-bus type?
Me neither.
That surprising fact was just one of many enlightening moments during Church's recent profile and interview on CBS Sunday Morning. I learned many other things about him that only endeared him to me as a loyal listener and fan even more than his quintessential song, "Springsteen."
In high school, he was apparently an exceptional pupil and student body president. He also was one heck of a basketball player and didn't purchase his first guitar until age 13, working extra hard to become an exceptional picker and make up for lost time. I learned that during his first gigs at the Olde Hickory Tap Room in his native North Carolina, it wasn't the soccer moms he was after with his music. It was the guys who wanted to party.
They were definitely his people -- the guys and girls not afraid to throw a few back. Their tradition to party hard still carries on at his concerts today. Church quipped during the interview that he's seen it all during his shows.
"There's a couple of songs that they ... it's just like clockwork," he laughed. "They're gonna fight on this song or that song. I know they're gonna have sex on this one, kinda openly."
And whatever you do, don't try to deter or detain those fans. Church says he sees absolutely nothing wrong with things getting a little rowdy and unpredictable. In fact, when questioned about an incident during a show where a member of the security crew was trying to subdue a fan, Church admitted he got a little physical with the guard.
"It was more of a kick ... somewhat of a punch," he said. "It was a punch-kick. It was however I could get to him. Because we came from bars and clubs, I don't want anybody to ever assume I can't handle the environment we're in. When you've played the places we've played, and now you're playing where we are? Let the spirit move, man."
That message is echoed in The Outsiders, his new album that was released Tuesday (Feb. 11).
On the other hand, it sounds like his wife Katherine and son Boone have contributed to a
softer side of Church.
During the CBS Sunday Morning interview, he recalled leaving the stage and walking to his tour bus and changing his son's dirty diaper -- still in his "Chief" hat, sunglasses and necklace.
It may not sound very rock 'n' roll, but it sure sounds like real life and real love.

New Adventure Treatment Center Focuses On the Total Person
New Adventure Treatment Center focuses for an intense 90-day period on solving addiction for the total person, not just solving the physical addiction. We also work with the spiritual, emotional, and social side of your boy, and begin to prepare him for a new and more productive life, post-addiction.
All aspects of our program are focused on achieving abstinence from alcohol and other drugs, and most importantly, on building the foundation to support recovery for a lifetime, including spiritual and educational recovery.
- Spiritually: we know that the student's symptoms are indicative of deeper problems and conflicts; we understand that a new life in Christ will give them the power and ability to overcome these problems and live a more productive life.
- Emotionally: The healing of past abuses is necessary. Biblical studies enhance mental growth and serve as a foundation for creating new lives.
- Physically: We try to instill principles of fitness and self-care into the lives of our students. It also helps with the healing of the brain and stabilization of behavior.
- Socially: Students learn to work through relationship problems with their peers and with their families at home. They will learn to apply the character qualities they learn in the classroom to their everyday lives.
- Educationally: Clients undergo diagnostic testing and assessment designed to identify academic proficiency and/or deficits. They are assisted in developing appropriate skills related to education and life success. Special attention is given to helping clients develop skills necessary to overcome educational deficits and/or learning disabilities. Behavioral observations are made, and feedback is given to clients throughout each session.
Why Choose New Adventure Treatment Center?
90-day residential recovery programs like New Adventure Treatment Center differ from typical short-term programs you hear so much about. Short-term "revolving door" programs are visited again and again by relapsed addicts, temporarily solving the addiction, but never solving the core of the problem so the addiction comes right back again. So, the addict has to return to rehabs, again and again, costing them, their insurance carrier, or their family tens of thousands of dollars each time. Every day, New Adventure Treatment Center enrolls boys who have previously attended other costly short-term rehabs, to no avail.
Why is New Adventure Treatment Center different? It is one of few programs that dedicate a longer period to work with each boy. The day-to-day structure, community, and faith emphasis over an extended period of time bring the boys slowly out of drug-impacted thinking into an awareness of a purpose for their life and a new way of thinking and living. Such a new purpose and way of living is one that has no place for abusing drugs or alcohol. Addiction is replaced by self-love, peace, happiness, purpose, and excitement for the future. We also work with your insurance:
- NATC utilizes evidence-based intervention endorsed by SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).
- While not a 12-step program, NATC integrates elements of the 12-step model into its treatment.
- NATC is a part of Teen Challenge International and utilizes its curriculum and faith-based approach, which has been the leading faith-based drug and alcohol intervention program in the world for the past 60 years.
Addressing Mental Health and Addiction
Dual diagnosis treatment is a form of addiction treatment that also assesses if clients also have underlying mental health problems. This is a vital form of addiction treatment because mental health problems can lead to addiction, while drug or alcohol abuse can cause mental illnesses that did not exist before the substance abuse.
These are common problems treated in our dual diagnosis rehab program:
• Mood Related Disorders
- Major Depression
- Dysthemia
- Bipolar Disorders
- Behavioral Disorders
• Anxiety Related Disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Panic disorder
- Social anxiety
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder

LegitScript is the industry leader in merchant and advertiser certification and monitoring in the e-commerce and payment sectors.
- We also accredited with Adult & Teen Challenge USA
Will Forced Avoidance of Substances Solve the Problem?
The short answer is "No." Detoxing and keeping an individual from drugs or alcohol only lasts as long as the addict is in a very controlled environment. After that, if other life issues are not deal with, the addict will return to the addiction. This isn't because it is a disease — it is a learned behavior for covering up the individual's hurts and longings and it feels really good, at first.
New Adventure Treatment Center separates the boys from addicting substances for a longer period, but the harder work they do is to replace the addiction with a whole new way of living. They gradually work the individual back into the community, with a new goal in life and as they have the strength to avoid negative behaviors and environments on their own.
New Adventure Treatment Center centers also teach responsibility, work ethic and pride in work. More importantly, they instill truthfulness and trustworthiness in each individual, which are the cornerstones of relationships and responsibilities.
New Adventure Treatment Center's Definition of Addiction
Addiction is characterized by an individual's progressive loss of control over the continuing use of a substance or behavior. The user becomes obsessed with the substance or behavior despite adverse consequences and vigorously denies the existence of a problem if confronted. The user will do just about anything to maintain their addiction, so it affects not only the individual person but can also be damaging to families, relationships, careers, and many other aspects of life. The New Adventure Treatment Center residential programs are designed to provide long-term recovery from such addictions.
New Adventure Treatment Center's Promise
At the core of the New Adventure Treatment Center program is this principle…
"God's love has the power to reach and transform every addict, offering them a life of truth, peace, and purpose. Our goal is to clear the addict's mind and provide the right motivations, environment, training, and mentorship to support this transformation. So, if your teenage boy is on the downward spiral of substance abuse, contact a New Adventure Treatment Center. It's our goal that New Adventure Treatment Center will be the last rehab program your boy will ever need."

The Shift Virtual Book Tour with
Melissa Ann Ricks
March 3-31, 2014
Purchase Link from Authors Website
There is a sense of urgency in the atmosphere as God is transitioning what the world has deemed impossible and unbelievable into the possible and the believable. Don't be alarmed by the "sudden" moves of God.
Pastor Douglass and his family have been positioned for such a move but because of the dense fog of deception that seems to surround them, some in the Douglass family have created their own beliefs, fabricating their own sense of self; negating the truth, God's truth, even when truth is staring them in the face. They, like many, are living lives devoid of the knowledge of who they really are and robbing themselves and those they love of their true identity and freedom. Deeply embedded lies from enemy have blinded eyes, impaired hearing and hardened hearts and Angels from the army of God have been deployed. The assignment: the execution of God's divine design. Dreams, supernatural revelation and actual attacks from man's ultimate foe will expose all and confirm God's plan for Xion, Veronica, Zeborah, Bo and Pastor Douglas. Can they handle the truth and surrender? Will the infrastructure of unbelief crumble? The lives of the Douglass family will never be the same and neither will you, because of THE SHIFT! About the Author M. Ann Ricks, (Melissa Ann), is a Christian Fiction novelist residing in Bear, Delaware with her excellent husband and two awesome sons. She is a graduate of Rider University and formerly a national accounts insurance executive. Using Jesus Christ as her example, as He shared many parables, she creates stories with fictional characters that contend with real life issues and inserts the Word of God to communicate the genuine and unfailing love of God while making it abundantly clear that Jesus is the ONLY answer. M. Ann is determined to tell the world how wonderfully awesome Jesus Christ is and can be in our lives if we just allow Him to be. She is honored to be used by God to spread His message with the stories she creates with the leading of the Holy Spirit, knowing that He will provide her with stories and the insight that will lift up the name of Jesus as He promised that if He is lifted up, He will draw all men to Him. She is the author Awesome Wonder: The Gift of Remembrance, The Son and THE BLOOD DONE SIGNED MY NAME.

Ann Ricks Why Did You Write This Book?
Believe it or not, I didn't choose the awesome and life changing story of THE SHIFT. It chose me. It seems, that no one, not even the so-called leaders of the Body of Christ are getting to the root of the matter and unapologetically saying what God says. We are tiptoeing, afraid of persecution, afraid losing friends and being ostracized. Christians have shut their mouths while Hell is increasing daily. We, the Body of Christ are doing so many a disservice because we haven't to put the enemy on notice. So many need to find out who they are instead of letting the world or man define them. So many need to consult their creator. The truth is, only GOD can define who we are. This book is different because it is true. It is chock full of the word of God and as a result it will get to the heart of the heart of the matter. THE SHIFT will cause people to reflect and really think. What is so wrong with saying that the wages of sin is death but because of Jesus we don't have to allow sin to rule us? The good news is that Jesus has deprived the world of anything that could harm us because of His love and His sacrifice. It is up to the people of God to tell others about the love and the blood and its freedom. We must lovingly and boldly tell the story of Jesus and not be afraid to say that He is a God of love but does not tolerate sin and neither should we. We must point people in the direction of the Cross, Christ and the empty tomb so that the lost can be found, the truth can be revealed and that people can walk in the newness that Christ affords.

A standalone, handheld, through-wall radar unit is under development to provide three-dimensional feedback on the location and movement of people inside buildings. Applications include military and emergency service such as hostage situations and search and rescue. The unit, which can be held against a wall or mounted on a tripod located up to 2 meters away, transmits low-frequency ultrawideband (UWB) radar pulses that pass through building materials over 40 cm thick and detects activity over a range of up to 15 meters.
The second-generation system will eliminate the previous need for an external controller and man-machine interface by integrating a VideoCore processor. Located on the unit's intelligent radar core (the single-board radar unit at the heart of the system), the processor combines digital signal processing capabilities with a versatile display driver. Consequently, results can be presented on the built-in, 6.4-inch color display within 2 seconds or transmitted to a remote laptop. The onboard signal processing also allows customization to target applications through programmable parameters including range, scan rate, and target permanence.
Another feature of the new intelligent radar core is an array of antennas that gives it a large field of vision (at least 140 degrees in both vertical and horizontal planes) combined with three-dimensional object location and motion tracking. Operators can use this capability to decide whether the object detected is human or animal, and its position (i.e., standing, sitting, or lying down).
The radar core is now at an advanced stage of development, and a tough, weatherproof case is being designed to house the system. Slated for commercial release in early 2006, the finished product is expected to weigh around 3 kg (7 lbs), including a lithium-ion battery pack that will store enough power for roughly 2 hours of continuous use. The housing will have a slim-line shape with handgrips for portability by soldiers or emergency service workers.

Here comes Miss America
Savvy Shields to throw first pitch at ALWS game
Miss America Savvy Shields will throw a first pitch at the American Legion World Series games in Shelby on Sunday, Aug. 13.
She will participate in a presentation before the 7:30 p.m. game and appear at a ticketed meet-and-greet at LeGrand Center that weekend. The local ALWS committee designated Aug. 13 as Law Enforcement Day. The tournament is dedicated in memory of the late Shelby police officer Tim Brackeen, killed last year in the line of duty.
The Miss Shelby Organization and its Executive Director Danyel Phelps are coordinating Shields' appearance. Since February, Phelps worked to make it happen.
"You can't get any more American than Miss America and baseball," she said.
Meet Miss America
While in Cleveland County, Shields will be escorted by Miss Shelby Andrea Jhant, Miss Shelby's Outstanding Teen Ashlyn Stoker, and Miss Shelby Organization staff. Phelps recently joined Jhant and Stoker at an event to hear Shields speak.
"She will be a Miss America that will leave big shoes to fill. It will be hard for anybody to come behind her," Phelps said. "She has been fabulous. She has been so busy. She's been everywhere. People are clamoring to get her because she's such a genuine person."
Seeing Shields in person makes the potential of being Miss America real, Phelps said. The Miss America Organization is the nation's largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women.
Shields is a student at the University of Arkansas, studying art with a minor in business. Upon winning the crown, she received a $50,000 scholarship. Her personal platform is "eat better, live better" emphasizing how foods people eat impacts their lives as a whole. She serves as the national goodwill ambassador for Children's Miracle Network hospitals.
"She's a real person. A lot of times when you meet someone that's an icon like that, they are so professional and so business that you don't get a feeling of their heart," Phelps said. "Savvy is a real, genuine, honest person. She's all about being your genuine self."
Details are still in the works for the public meet-and-greet at LeGrand Center. Phelps said watch the Miss Shelby and Miss Shelby's Outstanding Teen social media pages for information, or email her at email@example.com. As ticket information is announced, The Star will provide an update.
Plans are for Shields to speak, sign autographs, and take quick selfies with those at LeGrand Center. A portion of the ticket sales will benefit Children's Miracle Network, and a portion goes to a Miss Shelby scholarship.

I have to tell you that the courage to take positions that I've been able to take are [sic] really because of the space that, in a very short time, J Street had opened for members of Congress to expand political discussion about the State of Israel and our relationship to it."
In the video—which was provided by Paul Miller, who served as a senior policy adviser for Pollak's campaign and is now the executive director of the Salomon Center—the Democratic Rep. from Illinois rips into the Breitbart editor.
"In 2010, I had an election… an election within our community. That is, I ran against a Jewish-Orthodox, Tea Party Republican who made it very clear that actually Jan Schakowsky was anti-Israel because of the positions that she took," the Congresswoman said of Pollak.
"J Street came to my rescue," she added. "Not just with money, but with the kind of moral support that was able to assure a substantial victory in that election."Schakowsky represents a heavily Jewish district in the Chicago area. I hope that any Orthodox Jewish constituents will respond to her. She's disgusting.

"Hungarian Medallion" for the Quilt Alliance
I love the idea of tranforming an old quilt into a new one...I think most of us do.
And working on a small scale quilt, 16" X 16", makes it easy to try out some fun new ideas without spending too much time....
Plus, this contest has sent us all scurrying to the Quilt Index and finding treasure after treasure there, as we seek the one quilt we will use for our inspiration.
And here is mine:
This quilt is from the 1820's, and now lives in Tennessee.
Its full record in the Quilt Index is here.
Below is a blow by blow account of how my quilt came together. I'll try to go heavy on the pictures and light on the text!
Well, I am not an accurate piecer by trade, so I did an end around to get my little triangles.
Tricky, eh?
The photo above shows the one piece of silk with interfacing (the background) and the other with fusible web (for the triangles), both ready to be fused.
Google Image Hungarian embroidery, you'll see all kinds of cheerful beautiful stitching.
Silk Serica thread made by Kreinik.
Next, for the Broderie Perse part....
I played with lots of lay-outs of cut out flowers and also premade ones from M & S Schmalberg. This is the one I liked best.
I fused the cut out flowers into place, appliqued them with clear thread in a zig zag, and attached the premade flowers with silk ribbon French knots.
But I wasn't finished yet. I wanted to bring out the embroidered green elements from the center out into the rest of the quilt.
Memory Thread, by DMC is my go-to viney maker of choice!
It is so easy to work with. I just pin it in place...
The last step was to fill in those leaves....
Now, you should know that this quilt was assembled a little bit differently than a normal quilt. I spray basted the batting into place before I quilted with the red silk thread.
So after all the quilting, applique, and hand stitching, the back looked like this:
A detail....
I put a nice cotton backing over this and just quilted around the center diamond.
Then it was time for the label.
Pentel Gel Roller for Fabric.
The final finished quilt....
Finishing School, with Mimi Dietrich.
I want it perfect next time!
As I am a Quilt Alliance board member, my quilt won't be eligible for the contest, but it will be part of the traveling display of contest quilts this summer and fall, and for sale at auction on Ebay in November.
It is so fun to enter, and it feels so good to support the great work of the Alliance.
The prizes are awesome too.
So....what are you waiting for? The deadline is June 1st....you've still got plenty of time!

I LOVE this piece! The colors are so vibrant and your assembly is inspired. And a Hungarian floral; the Pièce de résistance. As my heritage is 100% Hungarian, it sings to my heart.

Lovely, the colors are so rich and just simply beautiful. It reminds me of a jumper my daughter had as a girl... she loved it as much as I love the color of your quilt.

Super Democratic awesome-man Rep. Alan Grayson, from Orlando, is like the a left wing version of Joe Wilson, but slicker and funnier. After proposing a a federal paid-vacation law and his hilarious rants against the Republican health care "plan"--Plan A: don't get sick, Plan B: if you do get sick, die early--Grayson has become, as they say in the political game, a rising star. And as any liberal star must do before coronation, he appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher last night.
A true showman, he had great lines for every topic of current affairs. Maher even complimented Grayson at one point (kind of), noting, "You came with some material tonight."
On the Nobel controversy, Grayson suggested President Obama will eventually win two more Nobel prizes (one for ending the war in Afghanistan, another for ending the war in Iraq).
He said the Republican idea of health care reform "would be to allow you to take your gun to the doctor's office."
Maher suggested that the real problem with health care, citing recent studies, is that a full third of the money this country spends on health care goes to tests, procedures, and prescription drugs that are completely unnecessary. Grayson disagreed:
"I don't think so. I think the problem is that we spend 35 percent more than any other country in the world on health care and that 35 percent goes straight to the insurance companies. And they make money by denying people care. That's the problem."
"You're like an old-school progressive," Maher said at one point.
Grayson agreed, saying he models himself on Huey Long. (There might be some red flags of some sort there, since the "Kingfish" was notoriously corrupt and eventually murdered.) But he added this line: "You've gotta put some jam on the bottom shelf so the little man can reach it."
"I've never heard that one," Maher replied. "It sounds kinda dirty."
Oh, the joys we have thinking of what will eventually come of Mr. Alan Grayson.

As I mentioned in the preceding post, today is the start of a new fiscal year for many nonprofit organizations. The accountants are all hung over and sleeping under desks, their heads resting on curls of adding machine tape. The beginning of a new year seems like a good excuse to bring back the video dance mashup that premiered on the Culture Shock Channel exactly six months ago.
Long-time Culture Shock readers will have fond memories of the post in which I bade farewell to 2008 ("Get the hell out of here old man!") and welcomed 2009 ("Look! It's a baby wearing a top hat!"). Many of you have been clamoring to see my tribute video again, wanting to relive the moment. New readers are saying, "I wish we were around when Culture Shock was still new and fresh and all the cool kids were reading it."
After my film (can I call it a film?) premiered, I had a dream in which one fan wrote, "I sure hope someone will post this video again in … say, six months." I asked a palm reader whether I should post it again; she said, "All signs point to YES!"
This post is dedicated to all the arts organizations struggling to stay afloat in these troubled times. I'm sorry I didn't have time to update the titles and remix the soundtrack to "Billie Jean." For young readers, the funny man at the beginning of the film used to be the President of the United States.

What is a Shopper Behavior tool?
A shopper behavior tool is a people tracking technology that captures the time and location position of objects (in motion) to quantify store performance and analyze in-store (anonymous) customer behaviors. It helps answer the following questions: At what times do shoppers visit your store and in what way do they act? Plus, how does this impact sales? Retail businesses have to address such issues in order to improve the customer purchasing experience which helps in getting higher conversions. To achieve this, retailers need access to a vast array of innovations in the marketplace such as Shopping Behavior Analysis Software that gauge the consumer behavior. There are a whole host of aspects that control the manner we shop and what motivates us to carry out a purchase. To build up successful buyer marketing tactics, retailers need to understand how their customers go about making a purchase. For example, do your targeted shoppers make choices based on pack size, brand, advertising, price, claims, flavor or a grouping of these features?
How can Shopper Behavior analysis tools be used?
A shopper behavior analysis tool generally includes detection, recognition, and predictive analytics of objects in motion. The complexity depends on the location of objects (i.e. store or street), the dimension of objects (i.e. a person or image), and details of the image (i.e. facial recognition or facial demographics).
In the past, brick-and-mortar firms employed loyalty programs or buying receipt information to understand their shoppers and the preferences appropriately. However, data obtained from these methods often can not be compared to other relevant to other pertinent criterion known as key performance indicators (KPI). It is for this reason that customer footfall measurement and customer behavior analysis are increasingly elevated to a digital level. This is how in-store tracking, using shopper behavior analysis tools, is getting nearer to what web-based retail has already been doing for a long time.
Why Shopper Behavior analysis tools are important
The best way to think about shopper behavioral analysis tools is in terms of the business benefits. An example of an in-store shopper behavior analysis tool is People Counting or Object Detection. This tool help retailers "count" the number of people that either pass a virtual line or stay inside a specified zone. This lets retailers make deductions about navigation systems or store design. The same also applies to visual merchandising to analyze how store window displays or entire retail store concepts have to undergo target readjustments to achieve improvements. Common technologies include: Audience Analytics, Time of Flight, Infrared Beams, and Thermal Imaging.
In addition, such tools lend themselves to target audience and product analysis: category managers gain insights into the performance of individual sales areas or products and can thus quickly respond to a lack of interest and wrong placements but also draw conclusions on successful campaigns and promotions.
The business benefits for people counting relate to measuring the number of visitors, sales conversion, store comparison, and mall analytics.

October 13, 2019, 2:00 am IST SA Aiyar in Swaminomics | India | TOI
Greta Thunberg, the 16-year old Swedish girl who lectured the United Nations on climate change, is being touted as a possible Nobel Prize winner. She believes she and her white Swedish teenage friends have to save the world from us terrible oldies who created the oil and coal industries.
She will be appalled by the plea of India's coal secretary, Subhash Chandra Garg, that India must urgently expand its coal production from 600 million tonnes a year to a billion tonnes per year to meet basic energy needs. Yet Garg is right. Thunberg made headlines by sailing to the US in a solar-powered-ship to avoid using fuel oil. Does she have any idea of the enormous electricity used to produce the solar cells in her ship?
India is a lower middle income country. Sweden is among the richest. Despite the green sermons, Sweden's annual per capita carbon emissions are 4.5 metric tonnes, higher than India (1.7 metric tonnes), Pakistan (0.9 metric tonnes) or Bangladesh (0.5 metric tonnes). South Asians can double their carbon emissions without matching Sweden's prodigality.
Widespread activist attempts to stop all oil and coal production are hypocritical. A total switch to solar and wind energy is impossible since these are produced only intermittently when the sun shines and wind blows, maybe 25% of the year on an average. For the rest of the time, India needs coal-based electricity. Maybe new electric storage technology will ultimately change that, but today India needs massive coal expansion for thermal power.
Current carbon emissions are just the tip of the iceberg. More than 90% of historical carbon emissions since the industrial revolution are the cumulative emissions of rich western countries and Japan. The share of developing countries, including India, is a tiny fraction. Sorry Greta, the problem is not that grown-ups like me have ruined your future but that rich Swedes are still emitting more carbon than coal-using Indians.
Economist Kirit Parikh once framed India's policy as being "we will never emit more carbon per capita than the West". This would allow India to raise its emissions six-fold or more without being worse than others. Modi has embraced renewables massively. Even so, for round-the-clock power, India will have to create much more coal-based capacity. If the West develops viable carbon-capture technologies, India will happily adopt those.

Ingleside's Billman takes first in long jump, eyes return to state meet
ROCKPORT — With a final shot at returning to state her senior year, Myranda Billman is working to beat her long jump personal record.
Reaching 17-feet, 2.75 inches Wednesday, Billman won the long jump event in the District 31-4A Track and Field meet at Pirate Stadium. Along with taking first in long jump, Billman was second in the triple jump with a mark of 38-0.75.
After playing a softball game against Kingsville on Tuesday night, Billman said she pushed her hardest at the district meet but plans to come back harder at the area meet.
"I feel I could've done better, but I just had a game yesterday so I feel like I pushed myself as much as I could," Billman said.
Billman placed ninth in the girls triple jump at last year's UIL state meet, and with hopes of redemption, Billman is putting her focus on technique and practice.
"This season is going as I expected it to," Billman said. "I just got to keep up with my jumps and try to go a little further."
Billman's teammate Amanda Clarkson placed first in shot put.
"We went to state last year and I'm planning on going again," Billman said. "So far things are looking good."
Other field event winners from Wednesday include Beeville's Dony Givens, who placed first in boys long jump and pole vault, and Orange Grove's Dyan Garza won the high jump.
Rockport-Fulton's Kayle Howell won the girls high jump, and Beeville's Allie Estrada placed first in girls triple jump.
The meet concludes Thursday as running event finals are scheduled for 6 p.m.

Even though my star sign is Capricorn, the mountain goat, I enjoy being near water and listening to rippling streams on a lazy summer's day, or waves crashing on the shore on a stormy day.
These are some of my favourite water photos. The first one is a very photographed place of natural beauty here in Ireland, the Lakes of Killarney, which is a must see for visitors to this country.
And on the other side of the world, in Zimbabwe, no visit would be complete without a visit to Victoria Falls, and the mighty Zambezi River. This gorge is called the Devil's Cataract, and the falls here only have a drop of 60 meters, as opposed to the main falls which are over 100m deep. Even so, I wouldn't like to go over the cliff into the 'boiling pot' below.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 5 – Kenya Airways (KQ) technical department Staff has gone on strike over poor pay as well as seeking a review of their work structure.
The strike has caused delays and cancellation of flights with passengers stranded at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
The technical production team wants their pay structures reviewed citing pay discrepancies and adding that the team is the lowest paid locally and internationally.
Moreover, the team indicates that their structure is obsolete with duplication of roles with clear hierarchy.
"We the technical production team has raised issues to the top management of Kenya Airways, however up to date, there has been no commitment on solving the issues raised. To this disappointment we have resolved to picket on Monday until these issues are resolved once and for all," the team stated.
KQ management has, however, assured passengers that the airline is working tirelessly to ensure normal services resume.
The airline, however, says a majority of the flights are on schedule, with the 51 out of 58 scheduled flights taking off on time.
"Our technical team is a vital part of our business and we are working together to resolve any outstanding issues. We request that you bear with us as we work to normalise our operations and we will keep updating you on our progress," Kenya Airways said in statement.
The Association of pilots, KALPA, had earlier in October, planned to go on strike that could have paralyzed operations of Kenya Airways if former Kenya Airways Chairman and Outgoing Chief Executive failed to resign.
The trade union, however, had their demands met as former Chairman Denis Awori resigned with the Chief Executive Mbuvi Ngunze to leave office by March 2017.
READ: Ngunze to quit as KQ Chief Executive by March 2017
Former Safaricom Chief Executive Michael Joseph took over office as the Chairperson with the search for the next CEO ongoing.
Kenya airways made a loss of Sh4.7 billion in half-year ended September 30, 2016, a marked improvement from the Sh11.9 billion loss it posted same period last year.
When he took over as chairman, Joseph admitted restoring the national carrier's former glory will not be easy, but achievable.

Tips to help your budtender recommend the right marijuana product for you
Before legalization, cannabis aficionados may have had preferred strains and modes of use. But in today's recreational market, dispensaries carry hundreds of products that are accessible to connoisseurs and rookies alike. So, whether you've been smoking since the 70's or are trying it for the first time, the modern cannabis market can be downright overwhelming.
Fortunately, that's what budtenders are for. These behind-the-counter guides know their products, and they're here to help customers sift through the flower, edibles, lotions and bath bombs on their shelves. But to make sure you find your perfect cannabis product, you'll need to help them help you! So, ask yourself these four questions and head to your favorite dispensary.
Why are you buying cannabis?
Before you can start talking products, you (and your budtender) need to know what you're hoping to get out of your new cannabis product. Do you just want to get high or are you looking for relaxation? Chat with your budtender about the different compounds and how they'll affect you. And keep in mind, everybody is different, so the specific effects vary from one person to the next.
How do you want to consume your cannabis?
Gone are the days of choosing between smoking flower and eating brownies. Sure, buds and edibles are still a big part of the market, but it's not that simple anymore. If you like to toke, you'll get to pick strains. And if you'd rather munch, you can select from candies, pre-made pastries, and infused oils to add to your meals. What's more, there's a wide range of tinctures, patches, and topical products to explore.
What's your tolerance level?
Knowing your body and your preferences is also important for finding the right product. If you're an experienced user, you might be able to try some of the stronger products on the market. Newer users will probably want to stick with options that are less potent. In addition to varying potency, products are made from different strains and have diverse levels of various cannabinoids. So, let your budtender know if you already have a favorite strain or if there's something you just didn't like.
How long do you want to feel the effects?
This question is easy to overlook, but it's essential to enjoying your cannabis experience. Do you want a high that hits fast but disappears in a short time? Or would you prefer a product that takes a bit longer to kick in but will last for hours? While the general rule of thumb is that edibles last much longer than smoked cannabis, your budtender can use this information to help you choose between specific products.
Although these questions seem simple, your budtender will pool all the information to help you find a product you're happy with. So, don't be shy. Next time you visit your favorite dispensary, strike up a conversation and ask away!

All five people on board were injured, none of them seriously, when the train derailed on a stretch of track between Nykirke and Holmstrand, south of Oslo. Having come off the rails, the train smashed into a telephone mast and a bank of rock.
The train was travelling at a speed of 135 kilometres per hour when the brakes were applied, AIBN said on Friday.
Trains are restricted to a speed limit of 130 kilometres per hour on a relatively new stretch of track just before the spot where the accident took place, but this drops to 70 km/h at a point where trains switch to older rails on a curve.
The train derailed 50-60 metres after the switchover. Operators are warned of the need to slow down 1,200 metres before the change to older tracks.
The AIBN's investigation showed that the train travelled 340 metres in the 11 seconds it took from the time the brakes were applied until the train came to a standstill.
"We don't know why the speed was so high. It could have been an infrastructural problem, a technical error, or human error," Jeanette Fagerli-Quaino, spokeswoman for rail operator NSB, told news agency NTB.
The stretch of track where the accident took place is in an area with partially automatic train control. Had the train been in an area with fully automatic control the train would have braked automatically, Fagerli-Quaino said.
Police said they were aware of the AIBN findings and were also continuing with their own independent investigation.
The train was part of NSB's new Flirt (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) fleet, a model made by Swiss firm Stadler. The new trains had been scheduled to start running on regional and local networks across Norway from February 29th but the start date was postponed indefinitely after Wednesday's accident. .
NSB has ordered 50 Flirt trains from Stadler at a cost of 4.2 billion kroner ($730 million). The Norwegian operator also has an option to buy a further 100 trains.
Flirt trains can reach a maximum speed of 200 kilometres per hour.
