Major companies are finally jumping on the drone wagon
Speaking to DISRUPTIONHUB at the beginning of the year, Lee Barfoot, business development manager for drone training and consultancy company Consortiq, stated that drone technology had reached the stage of 'convincing bosses'. Drones had taken off in the consumer market and were being used by smaller firms, but major corporations still showed reluctance. The benefits didn't seem to be worth the risks. This month, 10 businesses including Apple, Intel, Microsoft and Uber were given permission from the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) to carry out drone testing projects in the US. It looks as if the 'bosses' have finally been convinced.
Business backing drones
The support of big businesses (other than Amazon, that is) has been a long time coming. Corporations have understandably shied away from drones, discouraged by uncertain regulations and a high level of risk. This attitude is evidently beginning to change, possibly motivated by a gradual familiarisation and recognition of their various benefits. This, of course, includes deliveries, but also surveillance and digital mapping. Companies such as Apple are working alongside official organisations to tap into the potential of drones. The tech giant's project will capture images of North Carolina in partnership with the state's Department of Transportation. The willingness of governing bodies to deploy drones has undoubtedly given the technology – which almost anyone can get hold of – greater legitimacy. Corporate interest may also be a reaction to US initiatives to fuel advancement. Last year, for example, the Trump Administration launched the Unmanned Aerial Systems Integration Pilot Programme which aimed to reposition the country as a leader in drone development.
Things appear to be moving quickly, and not just in the US. This April, the UK government announced new drone regulations for 2018. Despite a surge of support, the airborne machines are not ready to take full flight. It's thought that the projects approved by the FAA will help regulators to work out how to best police UAV use. Legislation is the killer issue here – it will take a huge amount of projects to make these decisions. Fortunately, US Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has hinted that dozens more applications could be approved within a matter of months. It's certainly very vague, but promising nonetheless.
Pie in the sky no more…
Like robotics and 3D printing, drones are a physically obvious technological development. Given their many applications, it seems reasonable to expect to see them hovering on the horizon. But, if you can see a drone, then presumably it can see you too. Bringing UAVs into mainstream use will require a committed campaign of public reassurance that drones are not, in fact, spying on people. Nonetheless, it's unlikely that drones will be trusted, especially when one of their main applications is surveillance. This will be a fundamental consideration for regulators. Privacy concerns aside, drones must also become more robust. The more complicated and varied that applications become, the more developers will need to account for different scenarios. Investment will be key. Luckily, the FAA's clear support for drone development has opened up the opportunity for UAV consultancies and manufacturers to partner with influential businesses. This is good news for existing drone firms, as well as startups waiting for their big break. With both the government and big corporations on board, there is a higher chance of funding for young companies. The worry, of course, is that they will be nipped in the bud in a highly competitive market.
Corporate interest, government support and advances in technology have created the perfect storm for wider drone adoption. But although official organisations seem to be encouraging drone development, receiving official approval takes time. Every drone programme will have to navigate difficult questions surrounding safety and privacy, which necessitates defined guidelines and rules. At first, complicated or high risk proposals will be held back by regulatory debate, but the projects granted by the FAA could help to quicken the process. If these pilotless pilots can provide real value (without crashing into members of the public), then the drone market is set to become a whole lot bigger… But there won't be room for everyone.
Will the support of big businesses fuel mass drone adoption? Do the FAA's recent approvals signal a US desire to dominate drones? How could your business apply drone technology? Share your thoughts and opinions.

Just got back from a trip to Sofia, Bulgaria today. Two connecting flights totalling somewhere around 11 hours in the air and roughly 7 hours in the terminals dealing with check-in, passports, baggage, sitting on the tarmac and customs. After today I'm not sure if any destination is worth the frustration of the flight process.
The first leg of the journey, which was the shortest, seemed like a lifetime compared to the connecting 7 hour flight. The airline is irrelevant; it's the person seated next to you that makes or breaks a flight. I was first in my row to be seated and I hoped and prayed for a short, skinny, freshly showered girl to be seated next to me, but luck was not on my side. In fact, my hoping and wishing seemed to work in reverse. What I got was an old man who hasn't showered since the elections and apparently believes deoderant to be a product of the devil. In addition to B.O. that made my eyes water, he posessed another sort of funk that you only encounter around elderly homeless winos with wet pants which seemed to emanate from his clothing. Naturally a man this carefree could only be wearing sandals, another source of another funk that I can't even put into words. To complete this concoction of horrific odors was a sporadic wiff of breath that smelled like the ass-end of a dead farm animal, bloated and rotting in the sun. This man's reek was so foul it almost had color, he was pressed right up against me for next 3 hours and that was only half of it! As if the odors weren't enough, it turns out he's a fidgety spaz to boot! From the very moment his ass hit the seat until we deplaned, he rocked, wiggled, fidgeted, shuffled and moved about like a jumping bean on crank. I haven't seen anyone twiddle their thumbs since grade school, but that was the start of it. While his thumbs were rotating at 300rpms, he would lean forward then back, look out the window to the front of me (I had the window seat unfortunately, he was in the middle), then behind me. Then he would stretch and look towards the front of the plane, then crane his head around to look back, then turn around and glance at his watch with his feet bouncing up and down the whole while. All of this random spastic movement took place in just 5 or 6 seconds, then repeat. And repeat, for 3 hours, with his freakishly hairy arm rubbing up against me the whole way. There was no escape; no matter how hard I tried to lean away he would compensate by taking up even more of my personal space.
I've said nothing but bad things about this man up to this point and that's not fair. He was actually a very nice old man, just not very conciencious of the personal space of others and less than concerned or even aware of his own hygiene. This is a lesson for everyone: there is no such thing as personal space on a commercial flight so before you head for the airport, please take a shower people. Think of the people that have to sit next to you!

Do you remember what you were doing at 22?
Parts of it I remember as if it were yesterday. Specifically, I remember a Sunday afternoon after seeing a movie at the old Studio 28. I'd had my photo taken in a photo booth where you could select your own background; I chose the Colosseum in Rome. I kept joking about what a good time I'd had in Rome … when it occurred to me that I could actually go to Rome and have a good time.
You have to understand I did not come from a family that traveled. My family was not curious about other cultures or how other people lived. You could only describe my life up to that point as extremely limited, and my exposure to the global world could be summed up as only what I learned in school — again, limited.
I do remember a geography teacher in high school who shared his travel photos to Australia and New Zealand as a slideshow. I was paying rapt attention, as evidenced by the fact that I remember this some 30 years later (and thank you, geography teacher, and all teachers).
Needless to say, I booked the ticket. Thus began a lifelong love of travel.
I picked Venice as the first city I wanted to see in Europe, and that's where I flew to. Having dinner that night on the Grand Canal, I looked at my then-husband and said, "I want to see it all." I had an understanding in that moment that the world was big and beautiful and held many treasures, and I wanted to know about all of it, to see it, experience and explore.
The new pattern became: I would work really hard, save up money and then go away as long as I could afford to. Over the next few years, I visited most of Europe, Nepal, India, Mexico, Thailand and Egypt. And it changed me. Honestly, it was the greatest education I ever had, and it's no exaggeration to say that it turned me into an artist.
I had studied art in high school, and I was a hairdresser, which is certainly an art form in itself, but travel made me want to record the places I saw. I did that first in photography, but it wasn't enough. I wanted to record it as I saw it, not as the camera saw it. And so began a life as am artist, and as a traveler.
At 44, I understand this is who I am, what I do. I'll never get it out of my system or stop wanting to explore and spend time in other cultures.
Stay tuned for Part II next week, for more ramblings on the road and the journey.
In the meantime, what have you learned from your journeys? Either physical or otherwise. Come discuss on Facebook and Instagram!

The paper deals with the problem of determining an outer interval solution (interval enclosure of the solution set) of linear systems whose elements are affine functions of interval parameters. An iterative method for finding such a solution is suggested. A numerical example illustrating the new method is solved.

ARAB, Ala. (WIAT) — Cullman County deputies are on the scene of a standoff in Arab.
According to Bradley Williams with the sheriff's office, the barricaded person is a shooting suspect and is likely armed. He has locked himself inside a camper.
The standoff is in the 400 block of County Road 1834.
Williams couldn't confirm if anyone is injured.

Certain office spaces can be considered "hot zones" that are developed from excess heat generated from computers and other office equipment. Hot zones cause the occupants of these areas to be uncomfortable, resulting from a single thermostat used to control multiple offices or spaces.
The SC Diffuser is the solution for "hot zone" spaces that require cooling only. The SC will also regulate the zone it is servicing from overcooling by varying the supply volume of cool air.

Meditation is great for your body and mind and you don't have to know everything about it to give it a try; simply approach it with curiosity and an open mind.
Benefits of Meditation
The benefits of meditation are endless and the list of powerful people who meditate is impressive. Here are a few reasons you might like it:
- Reduces stress
- Improves concentration
- Increases happiness
- Alleviates anxiety
- Increases creativity
How to Meditate
- Find a happy place: Find a place in your home where you feel peaceful and can rest undisturbed.
- Sit up (or lie down): The traditional position for meditation is cross-legged on the floor with your hands lying open on your knees, but this position can be a challenge, so feel free to lie down.
- Take a deep breath: The key to meditation is deep breathing and relaxation. Focus on a long, deep inhale, hold it for a moment or two, and then slowly release it. Repeat this.
- Focus on your breathing: Imagine yourself breathing in light and air and exhaling stress and pain.
- Find a mantra: Unfortunately we can't just turn our brains off, so finding a simple mantra, like 'om', can help bring us back to ourselves. Repeat this as you breath in and out.
- Don't worry about it: Meditation is a practice of patience and we need to remember to be patient with ourselves. You will get distracted. You will think about the dog, or the kids, or your neighbor, or the laundry, but bring it back to your breath and give yourself a break.
- Start small: Meditation doesn't have to be all or nothing. Try it for a few minutes in the morning, over your lunch break, or in the evening. Find what works best for you and make it a habit.
Start where you are, have an open mind, and focus on your breathing. It will bring you peace. For more details, check out this post from Leo Babuta.

Souls rising.
Bodies still,
Stuck in that lifeless state.
Sacrificed for a greater cause;
One of which we know not of.
Prayers rising.
God said "Be still and wait on Him.
He did not allow the enemy to win, although the evil one assumes so;
Know that God will replenish all that was lost,
With His precious gift of love.
His fulfilling Love.
So shed your tears.
Mourn your loss,
But know that those souls are now united with their Creator, our God and are at peace, away from this crooked world.

What's in a name? Well, when it comes to cookies EVERYTHING! You know the moment the words hit your ears. For everyone it's different. For some, it the crispy spicy bite of a gingersnap. For others, it's the chewy cinnamon flavors of an oatmeal raisin. But for me, it's the sweet, decadent childish indulgence of a chocolate chip cookie.
Thankfully my husband shares in this need for chocolate chips, otherwise I'd be making batches of cookies and eating them all myself! Yes, cookies are not the healthiest things that can happen to you, but let's face it, eating cookies just makes you feel happy.
Every Christmas season, I purchase no less than 3 large serving trays and fill them with a plethora of holiday goodies. No matter how many beautifully decorated sugar cookies there are, no matter how many fruit and nut stuffed rugula there are, and no matter how many Italian butter cookies have been pain-stakenly pressed, the favorite is always my chocolate chip cookies. I derived my cookie recipe from Miss Paula Dean's recipe for triple chocolate chip cookies. Here's her version:
Why does this recipe work? Well here's what I know. The amount of butter and shortening are in perfect ratio. There is enough butter to make the outside of the cookies crispy, but there is enough shortening to keep the inside soft and moist. The balance of the sugar and brown sugar lends the cookie to be sweet, but no so sweet that your teeth hurt afterward. The amount of brown sugar also helps to keep the cookies moist.
You can change what you put in these cookies as well. Instead of chocolate chips, try M&M's or raisins. Make a "trail mix" cookie by using premixed trail mix. You can also add things like dried fruits and peanut butter chips.
These cookies are a constant request in my house. Make them once and I can guarantee you your household will be all smiles.
Always thinking of the next meal

Snapchat's new Spectacles 3 can capture 3D photos for a very premium price
On Tuesday, Snapchat's parent company unveiled Spectacles 3, an updated version of its video recording eyewear that now comes with 3D effects.
The newly-announced glasses are sleeker than previous generations, and they allow you to create a 3D video using two high-definition cameras embedded on both sides of the spectacles. The dual cameras add depth to the imagery for realistic augmented reality.
You just press a button on the glasses to start recording. You can record up to 60-seconds of video continuously or press and hold for a still. LED indicator lights will let you know its recording.
After you capture video of your surrounding area, you can then upload it to the social networking app on iOS and Android before adding various visual effects, similar to how filters already work on the platform.
After editing the video, you can share it on Snapchat or export it to other platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
Don't try this at home! Tesla Model 3 owner implants key card chip into her arm to unlock and start her vehicle
Wearable data:Doctors say most metrics provided by your Apple Watch, Fitbit aren't helpful to them
In a video posted on social media, Snapchat showed followers the new special effects that can be added to Snaps using the Spectacles 3. For example, you can make it appear that objects like majestical birds are flying around you. The $380 glasses will come in two colors – black and what the company calls "mineral," which looks like a shimmery beige.
The new eyewear is more than double the price of last year's model, which cost $150.
Just like older models, Spectacles 3 is a limited-edition product. However, Snapchat is making even fewer than previous-generations, the company says. The social networking app sold more than 200,000 units of its first-generation Specs 1.
Snapchat's core audience, Generation Z, doesn't have much disposable income as they are college- and high school-age, so limiting the production of $400 glasses makes sense. With the Spectacles shipping this fall, parents may be inclined to preorder now and gift to their teens around the holidays.

Celebrated Christmas at Hostel Jasmine Talantang last weekend. The hall was decked with Christmas decor, parents and children came to join in the celebration and although there was an electricity cut midway into the party, there was no stopping the fun and cheer from continuing!
Anglene, the hostel's warden gave a heartwarming speech to encourage parents and children to stay committed to path of better education. Our top student, Elkana gave a motivation speech to encourage other students to study hard. All our graduating Standard 6 students received completion certificates and fought hard to hold back tears as they hug Anglene goodbye.
Terence, shared a story and reminded all of the meaning of Christmas and the importance of partnership in developing our next generation. The party carried for hours with lots of prizes to give away, games for the children and food for all. Other village children came to join in the fun and just before the day ended, we said goodbye to all our hostel children as they spend Christmas and the rest of the school holiday at home with their family.

text: Hello everyone🙂 My card today features this beautiful image from All Dressed up – Fairy Swing, isn't she just beautiful. This was a freebie for the Kit and Clowder (Colouring classes) 10k party. I have made an Autumnal themed card for the new challenge Autumn/Halloween, I did attempt Halloween but the colours didn't work out for me this time. For more information please visit alldressedupchallenges.blogspot.co.uk or the Facebook page All Dressed Up Stamps for more information and inspiration. Autumn is my favourite season so I really enjoyed making this🙂 I have coloured her up with my Prismacolor pencils on kraft paper and cut her out with my Crea-Nest XXL square, single stitched edge die. The papers that I have used for this are from the Tilly Daydream A4 ultimate Die-cut and paper pack by Docrafts. The papers in this pack are all Autumn and winter themed and perfect for cards like this. I have taken a sheet of A4 gold mirror card to use to matt and layer. The sentiment is a lovely poem that I had found and it's written by Ann Drake. For a bit of embellishement I have used some copper/orange sequins from my stash. As always I have used a 6×6 scalloped edge pre-scored card for my base. I hope you like it xx

The Mammals of Luzon Island: Biogeography and Natural History of a Philippine Faunaby Heaney, Lawrence R.; et al
The Mammals of Luzon Island: Biogeography and Natural History of a Philippine Faunaby Heaney, Lawrence R.; et al
Format: Hardcover
Code: 14623
Condition: New
Product Details
Revealing the astounding mammalian diversity found on the largest Philippine island, The Mammals of Luzon Island is a unique book that functions both as a field guide and study of tropical fauna. The book features 120 fully illustrated species profiles and shows how the mammals fit into larger questions related to evolution, ecology, and biogeography. Luzon's stunning variety of mammals includes giant fruit-eating bats; other bats so small that they can roost inside bamboo stems; giant plant-eating rodents that look like, but are not, squirrels; shrews that weigh less than half an ounce; the rapidly disappearing Philippine warty pig; and the long-tailed macaque, Luzon's only nonhuman primate. While celebrating Luzon's remarkably rich mammal fauna, the authors also suggest conservation strategies for the many species that are under threat from a variety of pressures. Based on a century of accumulated data and fifteen years of intensive study, The Mammals of Luzon Island delivers a message that will appeal equally to scientists, conservationists, and ecologically minded travelers.

I've just opened a book written by remarkable Christian author whom I've met, and know his testimony. It starts off by telling a story of what happened to him one night as he checked into an hotel, whilst on a speaking engagement. He was fifteen years into his healing and had an international ministry to others who were coming out of similar problems. Right there on the table in the room was a pile of pornographic material. He was tempted. He even tried to justify the temptation in his own mind by seeing it as research for his ministry. Thankfully, the Lord intervened and he resisted the temptation. It would have destroyed him and his powerful, God-given, ministry.
It made me think of what happened to me recently. About once, maybe twice a year, I read a novel, usually when I'm on holiday. It's almost like a treat, because the rest of the year I seem to have too much other stuff to read, for work, and also Christian books. I usually like detective-type stories, and recently started one by an author I'd read a number of times before. There are things in secular books, as there are on television, that we have to be careful about as Christians, but I had never before found anything to cause a problem in these books.
Anyhow, suddenly I found myself reading a passage which was a rather graphic description of immoral behaviour that was going on. It was only a page long, out of the whole novel, but I so regretted reading it, instead of immediately throwing it aside. I just wanted to get on with what was going on in the detective story, but the cost of that has been a battle that's lasted days and days, to get rid of the pictures that the passage put into my mind.
The bible says that we should take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. So, He helps us to do that, thankfully. Our verse for today warns us that we're all vulnerable to fall, even when we think we're doing well at standing firm for the Lord Jesus. The next verse after that says: 'The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure'.
Prayer: Praise You, Father God, that temptation helps us to see just how much we need to depend on Jesus. Praise You for Your promise that there will be a way out. Praise You that, if we do fall, You're a merciful God, and will forgive us and restore us. Help us, Lord, to be careful and alert to temptation, and keep on looking to Jesus and depending on Him to give us the strength and courage to take the way out that You provide for us. Amen.
"If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall."
1 Corinthians 10:12, NLT

Economic Ministerial group approved the China's State Grid Corporation offer to establish networks of 500 kV lines and the terms of funding provided by the Chinese, according to cabinet spokesperson Hossam El-Kawish.
The Economic Ministerial group held a meeting Tuesday, headed by Prime Minister Sherif Ismail, in the presence of the ministers of Planning, Finance, Supply, Solidarity, Electricity, Investment, Tourism, Agriculture, International Cooperation, Communication, Industry, and Petroleum.
China's State Grid agreed with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company an agreement to develop Egypt's electricity transmission grid at the cost of $1.8bn, which they signed on the second day of the Economic Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh in March.
El-Kawish said the ministerial group also approved ATD Combustors Company's offer on a project to improve energy efficiency of El-Waleedya stream plant, which operates with power of 2 × 300 MW, depending on diesel fuel. The company offered to bear the investment costs for the project.
"The total project investment will be divided equally between the electricity and renewable energy sector and the ATD Company on the basis of the price of diesel," El-Kawish said. "The project will contribute to improve and save fuel consumption and raise the efficiency of the plant".
During the Economic Summit in March, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between Egyptian Electric Holding Company and ATD to modernise and develop Ataka power station in the governorate of Suez with an investment of $226m.
The agreement includes training and qualification of manpower, to enhance the skills of workers to work efficiently.
During the past two years, Egypt suffered from electricity cuts in all governorates due to the increase of demand and decrease of supply and the deterioration of quality of stations and lack of maintenance.
Egypt devoted a large amount of imported gas to support the power plants and called on investors to pump their money in the power and electricity sectors.

METHVEN NZ: Qigong for Health Instructor Training Workshop with Dr Paul Lam
Sales Have Ended
Sales Have Ended
About this Event
The Five Element Qigong
Qi is the life energy that circulates throughout the body for inner strength and good health. Gong is a method of exercise in this context. Qigong is an ancient Chinese exercise that cultivates stronger Qi. Health and harmony of the mind are directly related to the quality of Qi according to traditional Chinese medicine. Better Qi improves mental and physical health.
Dr Paul Lam and his team designed the Five Element Qigong to be easy-to-learn and powerfully effective for health for almost anyone.
According to ancient Chinese philosophy, all things in the universe are made up of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These elements have different properties: earth nurtures all living beings, metal is sharp and changeable, water runs down and irrigate the earth while wood is characterised by growth and fire is hot.
The five elements represent five major internal organs of the body. They interrelate and influence each other. While one enhances another, they also negate each other. The positive relationships are: metal gives life to earth, earth gives life to water, water gives life to wood, wood to fire and so on.
The negative relationships also work in a continual circle; earth negates water, water negates fire, fire negates metal, metal negates wood and wood negates earth and so on. The Five Element Qigong is based on this theory of nature, where the harmony and positive relationship between the elements will enhance Qi and is effective in promoting all aspects of health and wellness, including relaxation and mental concentration.

"Schools that don't have a unique brand will be casualties. They can spend more on marketing, they can bribe applicants with more financial aid, but in the long run they will lose to schools whose brands can survive without offering the lowest price."
– Forbes Magazine
Colleges and universities across the U.S. are struggling.
In 2017, 52% of private colleges and universities and 44% of public universities failed to meet enrollment goals, according to a study by The Chronicle of Higher Education. Competition for students is increasing: Out-of-state recruiting, advertising budgets, and acceptance rates are all on the rise, while overall college enrollment declined for the sixth consecutive year in 2018, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.
Competition isn't the only challenge – as states shift to outcome-based funding, graduation rates become more important than ever. Right now, though, the overall graduation rate stands at 60% - and at 28% for community colleges.
Students are increasingly questioning the value of a college education: in 1995, the U.S. ranked first in the world in the percentage of young adults with a college degree. By 2014, the U.S. ranked 16th.
It all adds up. According to a study by consulting firm Kaufman Hall, nearly half of U.S. universities are on an unsustainable financial path.
Nearly half.
It sounds pretty dire, but before we hurtle ourselves over a marketing cliff in a fit of panic, let's step back for a moment and ask a few key questions about your education brand – because it can make or break how students perceive your college, and whether they're inspired to apply.
5 Key Questions About Your Education Brand
Answering these questions is the critical first step in creating a strong education brand – one that resonates with students and their influencers, and can help drive enrollment numbers higher. In upcoming posts, we'll explore the process of creating an engaging, sustainable education brand strategy, as well as case studies of education brand strategies that are delivering real-world results. Like how Clark State Community College increased enrollment 20% and doubled (yes, doubled) its graduation rate in just two years.
Ready to make your education brand stand out from the crowd? Let's start a conversation.

These are strange times, it's been a century since the world has seen anything like it. An invisible enemy has descended upon us, and although our best minds fight valiantly for an answer, the future is unknown.
Although happy is not really a fitting term for the observance of Memorial Day, I feel like a positive outlook is more important than ever right now.
This is a day when I reflect on the sacrifice made by Americans who paid the ultimate price for freedom. May they truly rest in peace in the knowledge that they will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service.

We all have an history
- 1947
Caves Avelar has its origin in the year 1947, with the creation of the company Ricardo, Ferreira. As a result of the vision of Founder Ricardo Godinho, who wanted to add in a single company a set of activities ranging from the marketing of olive oils, wine, groceries, fish, timber, construction materials and civil construction.
The Need for Specialization led to years later separating businesses into more specialized areas and between founding partners. The commercial activity of wines, groceries, woods and construction materials remains in the company Ricardo, Ferreira. Santos, Marques & CL.
- 1972
As a result of expansion and high demand in the area of wine sales and bottling, in 1972 construction began on new, modern and prepared facilities for the Civilar - Cinco Vilas e Arega brand.
- 1992
The brand Civilar - Cinco Vilas e Arega, over time, is confused with the Social Denomination Ricardo, Ferreira. Santos, Marques & CL, and, in response to the need to make the separation between these two brands and others created in the meantime, Caves Avelar appears.
- 2011
In 2011 a new reorganization of Caves Avelar was carried out, and further investments were made in its modernization. These investments mainly focused on the adaptation of facilities and the purchase of modern equipment in order to meet both the growing demand for their products and the requirements of a very competitive market.
- 2019
Today Caves Avelar is equipped with modern and functional facilities with modern equipment and a team of trained and motivated professionals, where tradition and modernity combine to respond to the challenges and requirements of a very competitive market where we want to be, work daily and in a way determined to take our customers every day the best products at the best prices.

Autumn colors in Missouri are beautiful, making it an exciting time of the year for those of us who live here. The beautiful hues of yellow, orange, purple and red show us the handiwork of our creator. The many large oaks, hickories, walnuts and ashes, with their large colorful leaves, intricately paint the landscape. The many rivers are filled with orange and red maples, contrasted by dark green cedars and purple ashes. Bright, varied colors of dogwoods and plum thickets add to the colorful palette. The colors mean change. Change may not always be easy, but it is necessary and inevitable. It is my prayer that God helps us enjoy each day of life no matter what season it is.
I am also happy to announce that we are introducing some changes at People's Church. After saving several years for our office renovation, we are finally underway with the construction. Our offices haven't been touched in many long decades, and they are in sorry condition. We are excited to actually be remodeling our offices. At the same time, our purpose is to accommodate our growing youth ministry. This ministry, which is under the direction of Ryan and Fawn Brooks, has steadily been growing for the last few years. They have outgrown two different rooms. Our plans are to give them the space where our old offices are located. Once this area is renovated, it will accommodate many more teenagers. Our thanks to all of you who have contributed to this project and are helping us bring it to completion. Thanks to all the men who are working each day to make this renovation happen.

I'll give you a heads up: This service is not free. You can only preview a few seconds of a song if you don't pay. It's really good actually! The website's name is phonicmind.com, and you can extract vocals and make karaokes (Instrumentals). If you do not want to pay for it, you get a 30 second preview of the song you uploaded.
Here's what it did when I chose "vocals" on the song Playing on the Playground.
PS: You need to use CD version quality of the songs for the best results.
If you want more free previews to download, you can use different devices..with this method I've created decent JRM Bing Bang Vocals:
It doesn't cover the whole song and there's still some noise though but still it's quite good for an online service. I used 2 laptops for this and i've run out of free trials soo.. Be thankful.

Continuing our Writer Spotlight series, we're delighted to host an article by Sarah Baethge.
Writer Spotlight is an opportunity for our members to draw attention to their iWRR ebook as well as to them as a writer, their style and interests. We're not looking for anything in particular – so feel free to let your creativity loose!
The Importance of Downtime
by Sarah Baethge
A couple of years ago, I decided to force myself to continue writing until I actually finished astory of fitting length to stand on its own as a book. I have written many unpublished short stories that the people I show them to seem to like, but the writing always seems to come to a sputtering halt if I stick to the same idea for too long. Not this time, I decided as I looked at my notes for what would eventually become The Speed of Darkness, I am not going to let myself do anything else until this is finished.
Quickly, I discovered that doing such a thing is a sure way to drive yourself insane.
Perhaps it's just the fact that the characters I had trapped myself with included werewolves and mad scientists; but in no time at all I found myself looking at everything in the real world through the eyes of my story. As I was always thinking about it, I trapped myself into a never-ending game of 'what happens next?'
My notes just kept growing, incorporating new ideas and real happenings. Eventually, I think I had plans for a story three times the length of what it is now, but to get it all too work; I had to change what was already written. Let me tell you that was no fun. Changing what I loved so it could lead into situations I didn't find as strong or 'believable' eventually annoyed me into abandoning the whole project for a week or more.
I did come back to it, figured it would e a shame to just give up on what I had already worked so hard at. Discarded most of the new parts of my notes, looked over what I had already written and determined to finish the story as far as I originally planned. This was not going to get the better of me. I may not ever publish it, but I would at least finish it.
When the constant work was starting to set me off again, instead of retooling my story, I decided to just set it aside for a little while. You can say what you want about internet games, but a little time playing games suddenly became my sanity. Not just videogames, I found that if I made myself do something where I was too busy to think about the fantasy world of my story, I could calm down enough to almost look at my writings as an outsider, and wasn't forever looking for ways tochange what was said as I wanted to say it.
So over the next month or so I finished the story. I made a point of taking some time where Iwasn't writing every day. Not wanting to drive myself crazy with it any more, after I was done; I just filed it in a folder of items I have abandoned and don't plan to work on anymore (I remember reading somewhere that you should never throw away what you have written, and I have gone to look at this folder a time or two to rescue old work; so it's good advice.)
When I pulled my The Speed of Darkness files out a couple days ago to look at again, I still liked the story after two years and that time away from it has given me the courage to throw it at the world. Even if you never plan on reading it, I hope my experience writing it will come to your benefit. Although, now that you've taken the time to read this; perhaps it's cleared your own mind so you can get back to the story that you were working on.

One thing that I love about my kids being at their school is the community of people we have started to meet. For a lot of our married life my husband and I felt like we didn't have a community. That has changed since starting at our school. For example, this family is one of the nicest we have met so far. I absolutely loved that they were able to bring together the grandparents, the siblings, grandkids and dogs to make their family photos this year.

This course has hosted three LPGA tournaments and numerous Connecticut State Golf Association tournaments.
Check out our golf package and plan a group gathering at the Heritage Hotel, Golf, Spa & Conference Center.

Designed by Al Zikorus and opened in 1967, Heritage Village Country Club winds its way throughout the Heritage Village community. Instead of designing straight away fairways, 16 of the 18 holes are majestically carved through the foothills and along the Pomperaug River.

Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living

By now you probably know that if leftover spaghetti or cherry pie isn't available for breakfast, I prefer a good smoothie. The fruit in this "green" smoothie helps to outweigh all of the vegetable flavors. I love a veg smoothie, but I know many…

The photo below was sent to Infowars.com today. The email did not indicate where the information was posted.
The CDC sheet claims "You can't get Ebola through air." This contradicts statements previously issued by the federal agency.
In August, the CDC directed airline staff to take steps to prevent the spread of "infectious material through the air." A CDC advisory titled Interim Guidance about Ebola Virus Infection for Airline Flight Crews, Cleaning Personnel, and Cargo Personnel demonstrated the agency is concerned about airborne contamination.
The CDC also admitted the virus may mutate into an airborne strain.
The scientific community is divided on whether Ebola is currently airborne. Earlier this month Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Michael Jelenik said is troubled by the circumstances surrounding Dallas Presbyterian Hospital nurse Nina Pham's contraction of the Ebola virus.
"My biggest concern is that we don't have enough knowledge about the virus and this outbreak and whether it's mutated or not," Dr. Jelinek told ABC affiliate KRGV. Jelinke's concern is voiced by other high level health professionals.
Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Purdue University Dr. David Sanders added that Ebola is "primed to have respiratory transmission." Sanders said the medical community needs "to be taking this into consideration."
Professors at the University of Illinois in Chicago assert that the Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via "infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients," Infowars.com reported on October 2.
"We believe there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks," an article published by CIDRAP, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, states.
Despite a growing consensus that Ebola is now airborne or may soon mutate into a strain capable of transmission by aerosol particles, the CDC continues to misinform the public about the potential danger of the deadly disease.

Announcing the Category Winners of Hysteria 2015
Ta da …. drum roll please … it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally announce the overall category winners of the Hysteria 2015 Writing Competition. Their wins are very well deserved and perfectly capture some simple insights into the lives of women today.
- Short Story category – Shauna MacKay with No Odysseus
- Flash Fiction category – Gayle Letherby with He Loves Me, Not
- Poetry category – Sue Spiers with The Weight of Glass
Sue has already given us an interview and our two remaining winners will do so in the coming weeks.
And I can now reveal properly the cover for Hysteria 4 – it's inspired by Sue's poem and hopefully captures a little of the essence of her words. The anthology is now available to buy through the Hysterectomy Association shop and will shortly be available through all online booksellers.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Marion and I'm so pleased you were able to join us as a judge. And yes, despite 38mbps broadband here in Puddletown – it still slows down to a crawl. But then I guess we can both be thankful to live in such a beautiful part of the British countryside.
Well done all concerned and particularly to you Linda for the mammoth task you undertake in organising this every year. I was honoured to be involved as one of the judges this year and must apologise for being so reticent myself, due to the joys of living in rural Dorset, the Internet is a luxury which comes and goes. We have been trying to get a landline since May and still no joy so I only get Online when I borrow elsewhere, hence no blog and no website as should be by now!

You would think that getting a decent meal on a Sunday night would be pretty easy in London, but it so often turns out that the one restaurant you really wanted to go to is closed on a Sunday night. Once you realize this, you'll find yourself spending the next 20 to 30 minutes trying to work out which restaurant is close enough, decent enough, and open enough to make sure that your Sunday night dinner isn't an utter disappointment. To help out with that, here's a guide to all the best restaurants in London that are open on Sunday nights.
We aren't here to dictate how you live your life, but for a successful Sunday night dinner, the rule is make sure you are sat down or have booked your table for 7.30pm, because most places close by 9pm. This is London, after all.
The Palomar
The Palomar keeps on serving their party vibes and excellent menu of Israeli small plates until a respectable 9pm on Sunday nights. As always, show up in a small group and sit at the bar.
J Sheekey
J Sheekey is always one of our top spots to recommend to people wanting to experience a classic London restaurant - it's in the heart of theatre land and the crowd is older, wiser, and full with stories of life before Myspace. The seafood menu is excellent and comforting. It's a great place for a chilled Sunday night dinner.
Bocca Di Lupo
Bocca di Lupo is one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Packed most nights during the week, this is the move to make when you so happen to need to to eat a Sunday night celebratory pasta.
Chiltern Firehouse
You're probably not going to get a reservation at Chiltern Firehouse on a Saturday night, unless you 'know someone', and you probably don't 'know anyone'. It's cool - neither do we. If you do want to get into this restaurant, have some fun, and maybe see a celebrity, Sunday is the night to do it.
Xi'an Impression
Xi'an Impression makes fantastic, cheap, spicy food right next to Emirates Stadium. The fact that it's open on a Sunday evening for dinner is brilliant. The fact that most of us live at least an Uber drive away makes us jealous and annoyed.
Dishoom King's Cross
You've just rolled off a train at Kings Cross after nice enough weekend of walking up some hills, spotting aggressive animals called sheep, and eating at some average country pub serving generic average pub food. Just before you get on the tube home, you might as well stop off at Dishoom and grab a decent pint and a small curry to wake up your taste buds again. Thanks god you're back in London eh?
Spicy Basil
Yes this is the dodgiest looking restaurant on the block, but it's also great. And it happens to be open late enough on a Sunday to help you get your Sunday night noodle fix. You can take it away if your home has a classier dining set up.
Straight outta Naples, the folks behind Quartieri naturally decided that their first international restaurant outside Italy should be in Kilburn. Whatever you may think of Kilburn, you'll be pleased to know that Quarteri serve their fantastic pizza to the masses on Sunday nights.
Sager + Wilde
Sager and Wilde is all about doing great food in a casual setting. Rock up for a great plate of pasta and a glass of wine after you've had a hard day foraging at some random antiques market in East London.
The Camel
The Camel is a great local pub that really comes into its own in the winter. That's because they have a ridiculously long pie list, covering every type of meat and a few great veggie options too. They're all served with peas, mash, and glorious gravy.
Sông Quê
The best Vietnamese restaurant on Kingsland road, Song Que is your spot for a Sunday night pho fix. We recommend adding on the grilled quail and the cha la lot (minced pork in betel leaf).
When you can't be bothered to actually cook dinner, but also want something that could at least debatably be described as healthy, and you'd also like all that to not be too boring, head to Andina. This modern Peruvian restaurant is the kind of place you could easily eat every week.
Morito Hackney Road
You've had a brilliant day 'Sundaying' in East London. You've been to Columbia Road, you've had a roast, and now you're ready for dinner. Morito Hackney Road, which does Mediterranean/North African small plates, is a civilized, highly enjoyable place to head next. Don't miss the seafood rice when it's on.
My Old Place
My Old Place should be your go-to for classic Sichuan food on a Sunday in Spitalfields. It's a great choice for a group that wants to eat a bunch of spicy food without spending too much. Get the mapo tofu and the cumin lamb skewers.
Martello Hall
Martello Hall is a spacious Hackney pizza spot that keeps serving great pizzas and negronis up to midnight, even on Sundays.
The lines at this affordable pasta spot in London Bridge are shorter on Sundays, but it's still worth coming early to make sure you get a spot. The last seating is at 8, so at least get here before then. Eat some pasta and drink some wine, and you'll have a hard time spending much more than 20 quid.
Hawksmoor Borough
If, for some reason, you have a guys' night out or a business meeting planned for a Sunday night, do it at Hawksmoor. They also do great Sunday roasts, if you're making plans earlier in the day.
Honest Burgers Brixton
The original and the best version of this mini-chain will do you a burger and rosemary fries right up to 10pm on a Sunday.
The Begging Bowl
The Begging Bowl is one of the better Thai restaurants in London, and it's definitely one of the best Thai restaurants open on a Sunday night. This isn't a place for pad thai and green curry, but what you'll get here is much better: excellent Northern Thai dishes like whole salt-crusted bream with spicy dipping sauce.
Rocca di Papa
Rocco is the place for a consistently decent, no nonsense Italian meal, and it's perfect for a cheap low-key Sunday night dinner. Swing by for their carbonara before calling it a night.
Yashin Sushi
Yashin are doing some of the most inventive sushi in London and yes, this is a fancy Sunday night dinner move. But you've had a hard weekend of drinking artisanal coffee and stroking puppies in the park, so you definitely deserve to eat some sushi topped with truffles.
Granger & Co Notting Hill
For something moderately healthy but which still feels like a fun dinner out, go to Granger and Co. The bowls and sandwiches are great for lunch, but at dinner we like to order a mix of salads and small plates. And a shrimp burger.
Dozo Sushi
Popular with students during the week, and also at the weekends, Dozo serves decent-enough sushi. Eating here is a fairly healthy life choice that'll put you on the path to continue making such great choices well into the week. Or at least into Tuesday morning, maybe.

Bob moved on to pastures new today, but not before leaving permanent marks all over écovallée, many of which will never be seen. I've got to say, he's a very handy guy to have around. Because it's true. Look:
Here, Bob's hands are applying lime mortar on top of Isochanvre – a carbon-positive, hemp-based insulation product we used to block up a gaping hole under the bathroom window. My mistake. (Note to people ordering windows over the phone in France: They always give the height before the width in this country. Even if you say, '115 centimentres side to side' just to confirm. Don't say I didn't tell you.)
As with all Bob's work – and now his time with us – it was beautifully finished.

"With the poetic dexterity of a maestro, Aaron Giovannone's The Nonnets takes us on a hilarious and unpredictable journey. If these amazing poems don't make you think about how wondrous and doomed we are, if they don't make you laugh and cry, then you are dead inside."
—Adam Dickinson, author of The Polymers, finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry and the Trillium Book Award for Poetry
"There's a marvellousness in every single one of Aaron Giovannone's magic nonnets: exquisite, surprising, crystalline bursts of light. The Nonnets is a book of the marvellous—its beauty and intelligence astound me." —Jake Kennedy, winner of the Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry and author of Apollinaire's Speech to the War Medic and Merz Structure No. 2 Burnt by Children at Play

Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 2016-02 Abstract This manual is the result of group work and origins in Dutch lecture notes that have been used since long time. Amongst the employees of the Hydraulic Engineering Department that contributed to this work are dr.ir. S. van Baars, ir.K.G.Bezuijen, ir.G.P.Bourguignon, prof.ir.A.Glerum, dr.ir.P.A.Kolkman, ir. H.K.T. Kuijper, ir. H.G. Voortman and prof.drs.ir. J.K. Vrijling. The latest years, this manual has been clarified, revised and expanded by ir. W.F. Molenaar and ing. M.Z. Voorendt. We have received much feedback from students and got good input from our student-assistants, which is highly appreciated and has been taken taken into account for this new edition. In the 2016 edition, some minor corrections were made throughout the Manual, most noticeably the equation for the spring stiffness of a combined system in Section 29.2. Section 11.1 has been updated with more generic weir discharge equations. Furthermore, serviceability requirements have been added to the chapter on wave-overtopping (Chapter 17) and the Blum theory for laterally loaded piles has been better explained in Chapter 44. The largest change is the addition of Chapter 49, about the determination of the height of flood defences.

Boulder Junction's 2020 Musky Jamboree – The One That Got Away
This year's Musky Jamboree, like many stories told about this great fish, is the one that got away. With the safety of the community and our beloved visitors at the top of our minds and following the recommendations of our state and local health officials that large gatherings are not advisable due to the sustained close contact of attendees, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Musky Jamboree.
