Title: Losing the Light
Author: Andrea Dunlop
Age Group: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Series: N/A
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
I borrowed this book from my local library and reviewed it.
Andrea Dunlop's first novel has been sitting in my library stack for the last three weeks, taunting me, begging me to read it. And I was so excited to start it--I mean, come on. France, a sexy love triangle, wine, betrayal? Yes, sign me up, immediately! I read this novel in three short days, glued to the pages, until I finished it this afternoon. And to say that my feelings are mixed is an understatement. I loved most of the parts of this book, don't get me wrong, but there were also some parts where I was either crying or shaking my head at. At times it seemed like Sophie was really contrived, the catalog mean girl.
Brooke sets out to France her senior year of high school after a youthful mistake on her part. And she falls in love with France, and her future. There, she becomes fast friends with the bright, lovely Sophie. Their lives change forever when they meet Veronique, a beautiful Frenchwoman, and her older, sexy cousin named Alex. Intoxicated by their new home and one another, Brooke and Sophie find their new friendship pushed to the breaking point after lies, secrets, and betrayals come to light.
What can I say? This book, first and foremost, gave me the travel bug, just like Maestra did. I want to go to Europe so badly now! (Not that I didn't want to before, but you know what I mean.) I found myself longing to be in France, eating great food and drinking exemplary wine. I was completely swept away in Brooke's dreamy narrative, and I couldn't pull myself away. I was absolutely spellbound, and the pacing was breakneck.
I was caught up in the twisted, strangely seductive love triangle that Brooke, Alex, and Sophie occupied. I was absolutely hypnotized, even when I wanted to look away. It was kind of like watching a train wreck or a car accident--you want to look away, even when you actually can't. I was so caught up in Brooke's dreamy, slightly naive narrative that I literally had to force myself to save the ending. The bottom line: A tale of travel, food, first love, and finding yourself, Losing the Light was a wonderful debut--I can't wait to see what Andrea Dunlop has for us next! Next on deck: The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater!
I'm an aspiring author, but I also love to review books as well. Looking for a thoughtful, well-researched review for a popular book? You've come to the right place!

The move follows Nissan's December announcement that it's cutting 1,000 jobs at two Mexican factories. Reports in May indicated the Japanese automaker would cut production by up to 20 percent in North America, citing low profits.
Thursday's move comes after the arrest in Japan of former chairman Carlos Ghosn, who led a production expansion in Nissan's largest market. The company has struggled to sell all those vehicles in recent years, turning heavily to incentives and fleet sales to soak up the excess. Spokeswoman Lloryn Love-Carter said the cuts are unrelated to Ghosn's ouster as chairman and new managers taking over at Nissan.
Nissan has 6,400 direct employees and contract workers who labor side-by-side on production lines in Canton, Mississippi, just north of Jackson. The company has long prided itself on a no-layoff pledge for its direct employees in Canton, and Love-Carter said any affected direct employees would be moved to new jobs. But that doesn't apply to contract workers, who were cut sharply during the recession.
Love-Carter said the company is offering a buyout to workers 55 or older, and that at least some layoffs over the next 60 days could also be averted as workers quit through attrition.
"We are doing all we can to mitigate the impact to the associate workforce," Love-Carter said.
The company will reduce production of NV cargo and passenger vans from two shifts to one. It will reduce production of Frontier and Titan pickups from three shifts to two. Sales of the larger Titan fell 5 percent in 2018 to about 50,000, while sales of the smaller Frontier rose 7 percent to 80,000. The Frontier will also face challenges in coming months, as Ford and Fiat Chrysler's Jeep division introduce new small trucks. Nissan plans a new-model Frontier to be made in Canton, which has a 450,000-vehicle capacity.
The company also assembles Altima sedans and Murano SUVs in Mississippi.
Love-Carter said production will fall and some jobs will be cut by attrition at Nissan's 1,600-employee engine factory in Decherd, Tennessee, but that Thursday's announcement doesn't affect its 8,400-employee Smyrna, Tennessee, factory.
Mississippi officials have pointed with pride to Nissan, the state's first major automaker. The company says it has invested $3.4 billion in Canton since it opened in 2003, and the company has received what could be more than $1 billion worth of subsidies and tax breaks over 30 years.
Nissan went through a bruising union election at the Canton plant in 2017, with workers rejecting United Auto Workers representation. At the time, 3,700 of the workers on the campus were direct Nissan employees. More than 62 percent of those direct Nissan employees voted against the union.
Associated Press writer Tom Krisher in Detroit contributed to this report.
An earlier version of this story has been corrected to show slow sales for Nissan Titan pickups, not Frontier pickups.

I am so excited to bring to you the FIRST travel guide on The Petite Bijou!
Having been lucky enough to take a short trip to Miami for vacation, I thought it would be a lovely thing to share with you all. My trip to Miami and the surrounding areas was a pleasure – I've not had this much fun (or relaxation) in quite a while.
And although I couldn't bring my camera everywhere with us, I did manage to capture some wonderful photography through my iPhone 7 + which provided DSLR quality images and was easy to whip out.
I'll be sharing where I stayed, what we ate, and what activities we did in the span of 3 days. I hope you enjoy this guide! Please do let me know if you found this helpful or entertaining in the comments at the end of the post. I always appreciate hearing from my readers.
We stayed at the modern (yet very art deco) Shelborne South Beach. It was such a great experience and I'm counting down the days until I can stay there again. However, before arriving, we were riddled with doubt about our stay there. Here's why:
Reviews can make or break a business – and the reviews for the Shelborne were not so great. Or, I should say: nightmarish. But as soon as we arrived and spent the night, my mind was changed. It was nothing like what any of the reviews said. By the end of our trips, I knew I have to remember to take those online reviews with a grain of salt. Not everything is as bad or as good as it seems – be your own judge.
Well, the Shelborne blew me away with their care of detail, fun atmosphere, beautiful decor, and gorgeous food. Here are some snapshots from the hotel (and lovely pool):
As I mentioned above, the Shelborne has it's own restaurant which was very good. We had dinner there twice and each time the food was cooked to perfection. Don't forget to check out their special dessert cart that goes by (per special request).
The first local place we checked out was kind of a Bijou coincidence! Paris6 Bistro is a cute and lively bistro with a large menu filled with classic french dishes. I picked a very light but tasty dish called canapés. They're more appetizers – but I eat as I usually do, light and often. I finished off these delicious canapés with a cappuccino that was served with a green macaroon! How Bijou…
But you can (and should) find delicious delights outside of South Beach. Travel down to the heart of Little Havana and experience the rich culture and food of Cubans living in Miami. We dined at the Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina. For lunch, I ordered a traditional cheese plate and had cuban coffee (which is incredibly strong!)
There are SO many things to do in and around Miami. Honestly, the best thing you can do is just be proactive about walking around, exploring, and just enjoying the atmosphere as it is. Everything in South Beach is very relaxed. Don't feel like doing anything today? No problem – there's always tomorrow.
But if you are looking for something to do I have a few suggestions. The first thing to note is that it's going to be HOT if you go in July and sometimes going somewhere in the middle of the day isn't the best idea if you're not used to the heat. You can definitely get sunburned so make sure you have a hat and plenty of sunscreen.
The Shelborne had direct access to the beach and had their own umbrella, drink, and chair rental hutch. We rented an umbrella and the staff found us a spot. We didn't get the ocean view (those are taken up as it's first come first serve), but we did get a nice "chair neighbors" each time. So yes, we didn't have an "ocean view" but we did have a good time at the beach.
The water was divine – warm, salty, and VERY clear. So clear that we could see a few fish and jellyfish (BEWARE of the Jellyfish!). I am not a huge ocean swimmer because I hate cold water haha. BUT the ocean over there was nothing like I've experienced.
We booked a tour that took us to the everglades right from Miami! A coach bus picked us up at the hotel and we picked up about 7 different families and off we went. It was an hour long ride out of the city the Safari Park where we were scheduled to go on an airboat tour and see a gator show.
However, we ended up waiting an hour and a half to go on the airboat because of a thunderstorm that was forming out in the glades. It was a very hot and sunny day nonetheless and about 60 people crammed into the gift shops and cafeteria to cool off until we got the all clear.
The airboat ride itself was pretty neat although we didn't get to any gators out in the wild. I think because of the thunderstorm, the guides were a bit rushed and only took us on a 10 minute trip (originally scheduled for 30).
The gator show however was very informative. If you want to check this out, I recommend renting a car and spending more than an hour there.
I packed three dresses. a bathing suit, sandals, shorts, and one top. You definitely don't need any long layers if you're going in July – even some of my dresses were made with material that wasn't very heat friendly. But they were cute and everything worked out right!
Outfit details: Dress (NOW ONLY $29) // Purse // Sunglasses // Hat
Outfit details: Dress // Sunglasses // Purse
Outfit details: Dress // Purse // Sunglasses
Outfit details: Dress // Sunglasses // Hat // Purse
Overall, my trip to Miami was amazing and I can't wait to do it again. One thing I learned about myself on this trip was just how much better I felt near the salty ocean air. For the first time in a really long time, i felt energized, healthy, and very very happy. Living in the city can drain you, especially when you have a chronic health problem.
Miami was the perfect vacation destination and I highly recommend you take the trip there if you can!

Have you been to Miami before? What would you recommend I do/stay next time around? Please leave me a comment in the comment box below and let's chat!

Property number two also has a large number of jobs, most of which are not difficult but will take time. Highest priority is tothe ant capping on the house stumps and fixing the roof to stop leaks. Photos from the property can be found below or click here.
|Job Description
|Assessor Notes
|Plumbing pipe entering and exiting the external septic tank required replacing.
|Materials are available at the property.
|There are power points needed to replace the need for power packs.
|2 x pin power points and wiring
|Also there are sensor lights which are broken.
|They have new ones to be fitted. Just requires the electrician to replace.
|The stumps need to be levelled and stump caps put on – we have bad whiteant problems in this area, although the fact they stumped on cypress is in their favour. The posts look sturdy and have been put in quite deep. – about 3′ in the ground and about the same above ground.
|They will buy stump caps and whatever else is needed.
House jack/acroprops,
Ant caps x 10
|The roof leaks and the guttering needs to be levelled so the water can be caught in the tanks as it often runs away. There is also flashing missing – I believe they have bought the pieces they need.
|Capping requires replacing and guttering requires lifting/alignment.
|In the existing extension there is a large glass sliding door which does not work properly – apparently has concrete in the tracks and it was put in the wrong place as I understand it. They would like to remove it and Close that section of wall, and then put a similar door in the place of the windows on the adjacent wall
|May require tracks to be cleaned out. If this does not work then an assessment on a new door may be feasible.
|They have a garden shed kit but need to have a slab made (the metals rust away very quickly in the sodic soils, hence would not make sense to put it flat on the ground). The shed itself would not be a big job.
|Reuires labourers or shed fixer to erect the shed. Concrete slab will be established prior to erection.
|They did not ask for this but I understand they have a Nuffield Tractor which needs a diaphragm in the vacuum injector pump. I really mentioned this because I believe John and Vikki Knight also have a Nuffield tractor which needs work. I will need to clarify the model etc. Joe tells me the injector pump is likely to be very expensive and that would likely need to be done in a special machine ??? I could not really follow what he meant but something that operates like a humidicrib where the hands are put in through "gloves"at the sides and the job is seen through a magnifying glass. Again maybe a specialist job.
|If skills available

You can always spot a first-time visitor to At Random (2501 S. Delaware St.; 414-481-8030). Their eyes widen. Their jaw may drop a bit before their lips arch into a grin as they scan the room, with its snug leatherette booths, wood paneling and large arrangement of Christmas-style branches and beads, all bathed in a warm red glow, which not only soothes frayed nerves but also whispers a promise of something sensuous. Welcome to the Shangri-La of 1960s cocktail lounges. Shut the door tight, and don't let 2018 in.
"The younger kids have no idea when they walk through the door what they're walking into. They really don't," says Ron Zeller, 86, who opened the Bay View establishment in 1964.
"They say to me, 'Ohhhh, I've never seen a place like this in my whole life.' They love it!" adds his wife and co-proprietor, Shirley Mae, 83.
A self-described people person, Shirley Mae works the front of the room, while Ron serves as chief mixologist. He developed the recipes for all the drinks on the menu, including the alcohol-infused ice cream concoctions the lounge is known for. Those were meant as an option for the ladies.
"The girls would come in with their boyfriends and they wouldn't know what to order. I always felt bad for them and I said, 'We have to find something for the women,'" he says.
In keeping with the old-school aesthetic, patrons of At Random are expected to adhere to a certain level of decorum. "If people get out of hand, I say, 'Sorry, you're in the wrong place,'" says Ron. "At Random is a cocktail lounge. It's not a neighborhood bar. People don't understand the difference." He shrugs; his place, his rules. "I tell it the way it is," he says. "I love doing this."

Market conditions, environmental regulations and evolving processes cause change, sometimes dramatic change, in a pump's operating conditions. Some changes in operating conditions can be satisfied with variable speed drivers, but speed is not a magic bullet. Variable pump speed can excite rotordynamic or system stability problems.
Conhagen's engineers provide cost-effective solutions by designing unique replacement pumps to satisfy changing operating conditions. Conhagen performs rotor dynamics, hydraulic design and welding process development in-house. Two of its seven engineers earned Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering degrees from Texas A&M, one of whom performed bearing tests in the A&M Turbo Lab, and Conhagen's hydraulics designer has designed and tested hundreds of high-energy centrifugal pumps during his 43 years in the industry. Conhagen backs up its designs with customer-witnessed performance tests.
Conhagen has a library of unique bearing designs for rolling element, hydrodynamic, hydrostatic and hybrid types using conventional oil (splash, ring oil, pressurized or mist) or product lubrication. The company has mastered the art of minimal bearing operating temperatures.
Few of the company's designs are fully covered by API 610, but Conhagen ensures compliance when possible and identifies all exceptions required to solve unique problems in its proposals.
The company's engineers work hand in hand with asset owners to identify real problems and their root causes, and then jointly develop solutions that are acceptable to the owners and operators. Conhagen provides customers with all detailed calculations, manufacturing drawings, test reports, and job-specific operation and maintenance manuals.
In 2007, Conhagen replaced a 10-stage axial-split case pump with a six-stage radially-split case pump in diesel fuel desulfurization service at 910 pounds per square inch differential, 200,000 pounds per hour and 450 F. The original pump, a Pacific JTC, became rotor-dynamically unstable every six to eight months, requiring a full refurbishment. Conhagen's drop-in replacement pump shortened the distance between bearings from 72 to 24 inches, creating a "stiff " shaft whose first critical (in air) was 4,600 rpm. The replacement pump has only one mechanical seal — a dry gas seal — at the drive end. The journal and thrust bearings are product lubricated hydrostatic types. The only customer connections to the pump are the inlet and outlet nozzles and tubing supplying nitrogen to the mechanical seal. All rotor fits are polygon, requiring no heat for disassembly or assembly.
Shortly after the pump was first installed, a large steam bubble was introduced into the system and crashed the pump. The spare element was installed with Vespel CR-6100 wear parts to survive dry running. Unfortunately, the Vespel CR-6100 thrust disc failed on start-up because o-rings subjected to discharge pressure could not maintain their seal, and the Vespel CR-6100 was blown out of its retainer. Once again, the element was changed out, returning to the original wear part materials. The customer and Conhagen were concerned about another steam event and entrained solids (mostly scale) causing long-term wear. During the next year, Conhagen developed titanium carbide (TiC) coated graphite wear parts. The TiC-coated rings can sustain entrained solids and dry running. However, their low coefficient of thermal expansion complicated integration with the 12-chrome steel components. The spare element was eventually fitted with the magic wear parts and was stored in its container, waiting for an opportunity to change out the element once again.
The TiC-fitted element was installed in 2011, and the pump has now run seven years without any maintenance. It has survived many start-ups and upsets without complaint. An image of the replacement pump is on the cover of Heinz Bloch's "Pump Wisdom."

What is Abfraction?
Abfraction is the commonly seen condition of notching of the teeth near or even under the gum line. Though a combination of hard toothbrush bristles and improper brushing techniques can cause enamel to be lost at the gum line, this is not the cause of abfraction.
Abfraction is a mechanical non-carious (non-decay) tooth loss that occurs at the gum line. When your bite is slightly off, it's common that one tooth may make contact earlier than the rest. This causes it undue stress on the involved teeth and makes them begin to flex.
It's this continual flexing and stress that, over time, causes the enamel to separate from the inner dentin layer, forming the familiar looking notch associated with abfraction.
How do we correct abfraction?
Here at Drummoyne Dental Practice our dentists are trained in treating abfractions. There are two steps involved in solving the abfraction problem.
First, we need to adjust your bite. We may have to adjust only the tooth in question or we may have to adjust all your teeth. Chewing forces must be evenly distributed among all your teeth. We may have to have you come back several times as we carefully fine-tune your bite.
The second phase involves restoring the damage by bonding a filling in place. White, natural looking fillings can fill in the damage and restore the tooth to nearly its original colour and shape.
Dealing with an abfraction problem early by adjusting your bite and placing a filling prevents further damage and restores your teeth to their normal shape and colour.

Risk can be defined as a chance of danger, damage, loss, injury, or any other undesired consequences. Most authors agree that risk involves 2 elements, possible consequences (impact) and associated uncertainty (probability of occurrence). The source of risk is known as hazard. So, hazard relates to the source of harm, while risk is the probability of the harm being experienced. Therefore, some authors defined risk as a combination of hazard and probability of hazard occurrence, where hazard is defined as the degree of harm to human beings, property, society or environment.
Risk is analysed through 3 elements, namely Risk Assessment, Risk Management, and Risk Communication. Figure below depicts inter-correlation between those 3 elements.
Supply Chain Management is defined as a set of methods used to interconnect suppliers, manufactures, warehouses, and clients. This method can be represented by using graph, which contains a set of vertices and edges. In each vertex in a graph, there is a probability that represents a risk with or without pre-condition. Thus, the total risk is a cumulative probability risk in each vertex.
In principle, food should comply the following criteria:
- be safe
- be compositionally correct
- not contain harmful contaminants
- contain only permitted additives
- be correctly described
- bear all necessary markings
- be labelled truthfully
Food consumers are unlikely to consume or buy the food if they lack of trust of information about the food. They want to be assured that the food they buy and consume has the same quality and safety in manufacturing [1]. One of many information needed by consumers is how safe the food is before the consumption. One supportive answer for that question is by looking at risk of microbacterial contamination along the food distribution in food supply chain. Here, a structured approach to identify the risk in each step of food production until the consumption is measured and prevention of the risk can be adjusted to control the risk at the minimum consequence.

upgraded speaker system
Rack shown in pictures NOT included (sold)
Greddy Profec B electronic boost controller
Comes with the original window sticker, leatherette owners manual case, and owners manual
#1886/2000 original dash plaque intact
The bad stuff:
The usual dents and scratches after 160K+ miles of hauling bicycles and a kayak around
The front bumper cover has seen better days, as you can see in the pix
I recently removed the cruise stuff under the hood, as it was worthless anyway
Possible motor mount issue, as the exhaust slip joint wants to pull apart once in a while when making 22psi pulls
All the emissions stuff has been removed, so you'd better not live in a state with emissions visual inspections.
The car does have a compressor surge issue, if you give it partial throttle and then lift off. I feel that the problem may be that the EVO3 turbo is too small for all the rest of the mods that I have. This can also cause the car to want to stall upon sudden deceleration. This seems to be a common complaint from guys with a large Dejon intake pipe and an upgraded turbo, and may be due to some of the air being blown off by the BOV being pushed backwards through the MAS, causing the car to go rich. I'm still experimenting with a fix for this.
Well, that's it, and I'll add to it as I think of more of the mods I've done in the 8 years/100,000 miles that I've owned #1886/2000. The car is a rush to drive, always garage-kept, and a VERY reliable daily driver. It runs 20+ psi of boost all day long with no issues. I will even consider delivery anywhere in the CONUS, as the car has been built to be very dependable, as it was my primary transportation all these years.
Any SERIOUS offers considered.

Via Daily Caller:Fox News reporter James Rosen claimed intelligence sources have told him not only that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl willingly collaborated with the Taliban, but that his involvement with the terrorist group may be "as serious as you can imagine."Rosen spoke with Bill O'Reilly Wednesday night about his ongoing conversations with intelligence and Pentagon officials regarding both old and new investigations into Bergdahl's likely desertion and possibly treasonous activities."My reporting has shown that the intelligence community also undertook a separate [from the Army] investigation of Sgt. Bergdahl," Rosen explained, "both his final period of active duty that culminated in that mysterious evening, and also his conduct over the past five years, which is said to have been a period of captivity." [...]"Well, with greatest proximity, because they were tasked with doing so," Rosen responded cagily. "But my reporting on this is that there are many inside the intelligence community who harbor outstanding concerns not just that Sgt. Bergdahl may have been a deserter, but that he became an active collaborator with the enemy."
Pvt Eddie Slovik after being executed for desertion, 31 January 1945

Dubai's RTA awards $166m road contract to ease traffic in Karama
New interchange set to be complete by late 2017
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded an AED611 million ($166.4m) contract for building an interchange to ease traffic congestion in the bustling locality of Karama.
The Sheikh Rashid Rd – Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Rd Interchange is to be ready by the end of next year, the authority said. The announcement comes as the Wafi Interchange project in the area nears completion.
The new interchange is part of a wider project to upgrade the Al Shindagha roads network, said Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the RTA.
The project is situated at the intersection between Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road and Sheikh Rashid Rd north-bound towards Al Shindagha. It encompasses the construction of a bridge on the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road and a tunnel on the Sheikh Rashid Road, as well as a bridge stretching from Umm Hurair Road in the direction of Sheikh Rashid Road.
The project will result in smooth traffic movement from the Trade Centre R/A to the intersection of Khalifa bin Zayed Road with Al Kuwait Road where a two-lane bridge will be constructed in each direction.
Moreover, the project includes the construction of a tunnel on the Sheikh Rashid Road in the direction of the Sheikh Rashid Rd – Al Mankhool Rd intersection, comprising four lanes in each direction. It will also involve the construction of a signalized junction underneath the bridge, while ensuring free traffic movement through a one-lane flyover stretching from Umm Harir Road to Sheikh Rashid Road.
Works also include lighting, pavements, irrigation conduits, sewage system, and rainwater drainage system in addition to shifting and protecting utility lines such as electricity, water and telecommunications.
"The RTA has set out a comprehensive plan for smooth traffic flow at traffic diversions," Al Tayer said. "The same number of lanes will be maintained in the diversion to avoid any negative impacts on the normal traffic flow, additional snarls or delays due construction works."
By the end of next month, the RTA will also open the upgraded Wafi Interchange project, a key interchange in Dubai that links with the Sheikh Rashid Road and Oud Metha Road.
This project encompasses the construction of a three-lane bridge from Oud Metha Road (nearby Latifa Hospital) in the direction of Sheikh Rashid Road and from there to the Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Saada Road.

Rydra made it through her gamma knife treatment with flying colors.
We flew to Oahu the night before and got to the Gamma Knife Center early Monday morning. They had a couple of steps to do before the gamma knife treatment itself, including an MRI, frame placement, and a CT scan just prior to going into the gamma knife machine. One of the most critical steps, and the one that caused the most "discomfort" was placing the frame on her head. Since the frame provides the coordinate reference to the machine, it was important not to have it shift between the CT scan and the procedure. The frame is secured using four bolts. Here's the assortment the surgeon had to choose from:
I'm sure the manual for the frame refers to the screw tightening procedure as something like "applying torque". At work we have a name for what her surgeon did: "gitcherbutt on the back of that wrench and wail on 'em!" By the time he was done I wasn't concerned about the frame shifting. But Rydra was careful not to let the frame touch anything once it was on.
After the various scans, the treatment team (neurosurgeon, gamma knife specialist, gamma knife physicist) got together to discuss a treatment plan. Rydra, meanwhile, relaxed.
Well… As much relaxing as she could do with a big chunk of aluminum and titanium bolted to her head. (She did an amazingly good job of relaxing, actually. She was cracking jokes with the nurse and doctors the whole time.)
Once the treatment plan was set, she went down to the machine to be bolted in.
That's her physicist on the left, Rydra on the bed (obviously), her nurse (who's got some of the most amazing bed-side manner I've ever seen), and the gamma knife specialist (who also had amazingly good bed-side manner.)
Shortly after I took that picture the physicist ushered us all out of the room and shut the door. I watched on the monitors as the machine opened and Rydra went in.
I got to hang around for the first couple of minutes as the gamma knife specialist described the procedure and showed me the interface to the gamma knife machine. I was really pleased to see that the interface looked a lot like the interface we made for remote operation of our telescope: lots of icons with very obvious meanings, clear labels, and a layout that was easy to read. I figured the people making the machine knew what they were doing. I was just glad to see how close we'd come with our own efforts.
The machine is basically a big computer controlled 3-axis translation stage with a hemispherical set of radioactive sources at one end. Treatment was broken up into a number of targets – five in Rydra's case. For each target the machine moved her head to the appropriate location, and some or all of the 190+ sources opened for a precise amount of time. Then the shutters on the sources all closed, the machine moved to the next position, and the procedure repeated until all five targets had been irradiated.
Once the procedure was done, her nurse removed the frame and bandaged the four screw points. No shaved hair this time! Rydra took an hour to recover, then we headed out.
Considering everything she went through, I hate to say it but it was driving out through Honolulu traffic that was the roughest experience of the day. Keep in mind neither of us had seen an overpass in years, and one-way streets were distant memories. I got lost. It took us almost three hours to go from the clinic to a place where we could have lunch. By then Rydra was so motion sick she almost couldn't eat. Thank goodness it only took another hour to get to the airport. We sat and she ate the only fresh fruit we were able to find in the entire airport concourse (thank you, Starbucks, for selling fresh pineapple… go figure…) By the time they called for general boarding she was looking better.
She spent last week recovering, and for the most part she has actually recovered. Last weekend she helped our daughter with her science fair experiment, Rydra has been driving the kids to swim practice all week, and we've been hanging out together as much as work and life allows. This is nothing like the recovery from her craniotomy surgery two years ago. This is nothing short of amazing.
We won't know for another two years whether this treatment got everything, and even then her surgeon wants to keep getting regular MRIs to look for new growth. It's nice to see someone who takes professional paranoia as seriously as I do. She's in really good hands.
– Tom

E-SPIN do not have time and material (T&M) rate, due to massive of support work involve simulation of support offsite, resolve first, prior for send engineer and support personnel onsite, as such massive of time can not be bill under that.
E-SPIN maintenance support have massive portion fall under knowledge work, where require to apply knowledge, know how and expertise in the subject matter, rather than just have labour worker moving from place to place doing hardware part replacement, swap or perform basic installation, backup and restore.
For instance, we had case enterprise customer who encounter database performance load issue after a long period of time, where customer do not perform house keeping on the database. It reaching the stage the system do not have extra room to perform anything, and we need to base on customer actual scenario and context, forming a solution that really work for customer to solve the problem, advisory etc. Then onsite to carry out and show customer how it being carry out. As you can see it involved 7 business days time off site for research, setup environment like customer encounter scenario, then apply the know how to solve the problem. When onsite at customer location, it take only less than a hours to do the initial and transfer that knowledge for customer continue to do the rest. If by using onsite time as supporting billing hours, it is not viable business model for our end, since massive of the can not be bill under that. As such, for application support maintenance contract, we do not had time and material model for it.
We had the either 8×5 or 24×7 local onsite support, with fix onsite incident and or preventive maintenance visit quota maintenance support contract instead.

Some Loving Tributes To Roger AilesComments
Ailes was the Christopher Columbus of hate. When the former daytime TV executive and political strategist looked across the American continent, he saw money laying around in giant piles. He knew all that was needed to pick it up was a) the total abandonment of any sense of decency or civic duty in the news business, and b) the factory-like production of news stories that spoke to Americans' worst fantasies about each other.
Like many con artists, he reflexively targeted the elderly – "I created a TV network for people from 55 to dead," he told Joan Walsh – where he saw billions could be made mining terrifying storylines about the collapse of the simpler America such viewers remembered, correctly or (more often) incorrectly, from their childhoods.
In this sense, his Fox News broadcasts were just extended versions of the old "ring around the collar" ad – scare stories about contagion. Wisk was pitched as the cure for sweat stains creeping onto your crisp white collar; Fox was sold as the cure for atheists, feminists, terrorists and minorities crawling over your white picket fence.
Ailes launched Fox in 1996 with a confused, often amateurish slate of dumb programs cranked out by cut-rate and often very young staffers. The channel was initially most famous for its overt shallowness ("More News in Less Time" was one of its early slogans) and its Monty Python-style bloopers. But the main formula was always the political scare story, and Fox quickly learned to mix traditional sensationalist tropes like tabloid crime reporting with demonization of liberal villains like the Clintons.
Ailes picked at all these scabs, and then when he ran out of real storylines to mine he invented some that didn't even exist. His Fox was instrumental in helping Donald Trump push the birther phenomenon into being, and elevated the practically nonexistent New Black Panthers to ISIS status, warning Republicans that these would-be multitudinous urban troublemakers were planning on bringing guns to the GOP convention.
The presidency of Donald Trump wouldn't have been possible had not Ailes raised a generation of viewers on these paranoid storylines. But the damage Ailes did wasn't limited to hardening and radicalizing conservative audiences.
Ailes leaves behind one of the largest legacies of any media figure of the past century: He made our country nastier, stupider, cruder, and more bigoted. Even as the memory of Ailes the man fades, we will always be able to look back on what he built.
But Ailes was not some phony elitist playing a con on the rubes. No, he really loved degrading people, and he held the same resentments as the pathetic viewers whose worlds he manipulated. Indeed, one of the special things about Ailes was the depth of his hatred, and the broad-ranging reach of his racism. Some bigots confine their disgust to a single group, or religion; Ailes, however, was never so limited. Who did the man dislike? Muslims? Yep. Black Americans? Check. Jews? Uh-huh. Hispanics? Yes. Fox, under Ailes' leadership, became a leader in spewing all these different forms of bigotry. He was a visionary.
Ailes also took a special interest in the careers of much of the female talent at Fox News. His leadership style was to sexually harass female employees and ensure a grotesque environment at the network, which nicely mimicked the misogyny Fox watchers could see on their television screens every day. Elizabeth Ailes' statement recalling the millions of lives her husband affected calls to mind Stalin's line about one death being a tragedy, and millions of deaths being a mere statistic. Ailes' family and friends should never forget that their beloved Roger ruined individual lives, too.
However, one of our overcompensated and underachieving elites has a counterpoint:
"Jimmy Savile was a wonderful teevee host and one of the most generous contributors to children's hospitals ever. Serial molestation of children not only way to remember him."
…as a commenter notes, Gary's obit is excellent.

The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, surface treatments, etc. If in doubt, apply a test area first. Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface. Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed. Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling can be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor, Sikadur and Sikagard range of materials. The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or levelled in order to achieve an even surface. High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding. All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum. Application Conditions / Limitations Substrate Temperature AmbientTemperature Substrate Moisture Content Relative Air Humidity Dew Point +10 C min. / +30 C max. +10 C min. / +30 C max. < 4% pbw moisture content. Test method: Sika -Tramex meter, CM - measurement or Oven-dry-method. No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet). 80% r.h. max. Beware of condensation! The substrate and uncured floor must be at least +3 C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish. Note: Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming. 3 3/6
4 Application Instructions Mixing Mixing Time Mixing Tools Application Method / Tools Part A : part B = 79 : 21 (by weight) Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimize air entrainment. must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer ( rpm) or other suitable equipment. Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, r.h. and dew point. If > 4% pbw moisture content, Sikafloor EpoCem may be applied as a T.M.B. (temporary moisture barrier) system. Primer Make sure that a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats. Apply Sikafloor -161 HC by brush, roller or squeegee. Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then backrolling crosswise. Levelling Rough surfaces need to be levelled first. Therefore use e.g. Sikafloor -161 HC levelling mortar (see PDS). Coating as coating can be applied by short-pled roller (crosswise). Seal coat Sealer coats can be applied by squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a short-piled roller. Cleaning of Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically. Potlife Temperatures +10 C +20 C +30 C Time ~ 50 minutes ~ 25 minutes ~ 15 minutes Waiting Time / Overcoating Before applying on Sikafloor -161 HC allow: Substrate temperature Minimum Maximum +10 C 24 hours 3 days +20 C 12 hours 2 days +30 C 8 hours 1 day Before applying on Sikafloor -263 SL HC allow: Substrate temperature Minimum Maximum +10 C 30 hours 3 days +20 C 24 hours 2 days +30 C 16 hours 1 day Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity. 4 4/6
5 Notes on Application / Limitations Do not apply on substrates with rising moisture. Do not blind the primer. Freshly applied must be protected from damp, condensation and water for at least 24 hours. For areas with limited exposure and normally absorbent concrete substrates priming with Sikafloor -161 HC is not necessary for broadcast systems. For roller / textured coatings: Uneven substrates as well as inclusions of dirt cannot and should not be covered by thin sealer coats. Therefore both substrate and adjacent areas must always be prepared and cleaned thoroughly prior to application. The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a reduced service life and reflective cracking. For exact colour matching, ensure the in each area is applied from the same control batch numbers. Under certain conditions, underfloor heating combined with high point loading, may lead to imprints in the resin. If heating is required do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters, these produce large quantities of both CO 2 and H 2O water vapour, which may adversely affect the finish. For heating use only electric powered warm air blower systems. Curing Details Applied Product ready for use Temperature Foot traffic Light traffic Full cure +10 C ~ 72 hours ~ 6 days ~ 10 days +20 C ~ 24 hours ~ 4 days ~ 7 days +30 C ~ 18 hours ~ 2 days ~ 5 days Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions. Cleaning / Maintenance Methods To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, must have all spillages removed immediately and must be regularly cleaned using rotary brush, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryer, high pressure washer, wash and vacuum techniques etc. using suitable detergents and waxes. 5 5/6

From Jane Austen:
By becoming a writer, Jane gave herself a voice and the ability to express herself to women of her age and class – something that was especially powerful at a time when there were no female politicians, and few women in public life whatsoever, and conventional wisdom suggested that the only way to have any real power was to share a pillow with a successful man.
She was also a great letter writer, keen to share news, gossip and ideas on a daily basis, although tragically few survive as her sister burnt most of them at Jane's request. Something else that might chime with a generation facing being worse off than their parent's one, is that Jane's life was far from secure. She struggled with money all her life, and often had to rely on her parents. Sound familiar? (Read more.)Share

Commentary on the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament
Boxed Set
Translated by Nicholas Kotar
Edited by Vitaly Permiakov
Archbishop Averky approaches the New Testament first and foremost not as a literary work of antiquity, but as the revelation of Jesus Christ as God in the flesh. Writing in the tradition of biblical exegetes, such as St John Chrysostom, Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria, and St Theophan the Recluse, he provides a commentary that is firmly grounded in the teaching of the Church, manifested in its liturgical hymnography and the works of the Holy Fathers.

He taught and ministered in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Germany, before being assigned in 1951 to teach at the Holy Trinity Seminary. He was consecrated a bishop, and after the death of Archbishop Vitaly (Maximenko) became the abbot of the monastery. As abbot, he was also the rector of Holy Trinity Seminary and was heavily involved in the formation of its curriculum and daily life. He was also praised by converts to the Orthodox faith such as Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose) for being a steadfast defender of traditional Orthodoxy. He wrote many commentaries on scripture and other works which are extensively read both in Russia and in the diaspora. He is best known in the English-speaking world for his commentary on the Book of Revelations, The Apocalypse in the Teachings of Ancient Christianity
Deacon Nicholas Kotar is a recent graduate of Holy Trinity Seminary and an assistant editor at Holy Trinity Publications in Jordanville, NY. He also has a degree in Russian Literature from UC Berkeley. Having begun conducting with the youth choir in the Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco, Nicholas helped establish the St John of San Francisco Men's Chorale, which has released two disks to date: Rejoice in Song and Chrysostom. Currently he conducts the monastery and seminary choir at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville. He is also a founding member of Conquering Time, an ensemble of performance, visual, and literary artists inspired by the Inklings that stages original works of storytelling and traditional music and publishes new poetry and prose.

FOOD: Tackling the Oldest Environmental Problem: Agriculture and Its Impact on Soil by Wes Jackson
I want to talk about the 10,000-year-old problem of agriculture and how it is both necessary and possible to solve it. Were it necessary but not possible this idea would be grandiose, and were it possible but not necessary it would be grandiose. But it has passed the test of grandiosity.
Figure 10.1 illustrates what most people think about when they talk about sustainable agriculture. This is part of an ad for a sustainable-agriculture conference in Chicago. Look at the diversity and think hard about how much that informs the sustainable-agriculture movement. There is not a single grain there. And what's wrong with that? The foods shown there represent fewer than 25 percent of the calories that humans eat, and I have a $100 bet that 70 percent of the calories eaten by the people in the most economically important agricultural state, California, come over the Sierra Nevada and up from Mexico in the form of grains.
In the background of all of us organisms on Earth is what I call the 3.45-billion-year imperative. We are a carbon-based planet. The carbon that enters so importantly into our bodies, we all now know, was cooked in the remote past of a dying star. But humans, with the big brain, have been around for only 150,000 to 200,000 years, and only some 11,000 to 13,000 years before the present we got to the first pool of energy-rich carbon, the young pulverized coal of the soil. And we mostly wasted it. With the opening of the North American continent, some soil scientists estimate the United States went from around 6 percent carbon to around 3 percent. I think that's when global warming began, with agriculture 10,000 years ago.
About 5,000 years ago, the second pool of energy-rich carbon, the forests, made it possible to smelt ore and brought on the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The third pool, 250 years ago, was coal, which brought on the Industrial Revolution. Then in 1859 Edwin Drake drilled a well in western Pennsylvania and opened up the fourth pool, oil. And then came natural gas, the fifth pool, used not just for lighting and heating but also for fertilizer. These are the five pools of energy-rich carbon that stand behind civilization. I like to think what it would have been like had we not had, first of all, civilization that came from the soil. We wouldn't have had Plato, Aristotle, Jesus of Nazareth. And, of course, if it hadn't been for soil, forest, and coal, we would not have had Darwin—it took the slack that the British Empire had to send a naturalist around the world. I suspect that without oil we would not have had the Hubble Telescope and may not have known about how the elements have been cooked in dying stars. In other words, these five pools have given us knowledge of how the world is. What does this have to do with anything? Well, it gives us a perspective of where we come from and what kind of a thing we are.
