LINDSAY. T Project Management
When I asked to explain my experience in glow/group this year I felt stumped. To be honest, if you asked me why I signed up it was because I love hypnotherapy - I believe it's life-changing - and I was looking for a new hypnotherapist. Jamie had been recommended to me and well this whole group thing - that was a total leap of faith. I really had no idea what the value of the group was going to be. I didn't get it. I'd been told that group dynamics can create epic, transformational shifts and push you to grow and develop beyond what you can achieve on your own in 1:1 sessions. But I didn't believe it.
What I did know was that, what I was doing to get me where I was, was no longer working for me, even though on the outside I looked like I had it all together - I wasn't where I wanted to be. And I knew I needed something different to propel me forward. It's like Einstein's definition of insanity - doing the same things you've always done and expecting a different outcome. So I said f*ck it. Go big or go home. I threw myself off the cliff and into the group. There was some part of me that had enough faith to throw caution to the wind and there was something about Jamie that made me curious and wanting more.
So the first few months of the group I thought shit, what did I do?! Why did I sign up for this? I'm not getting anything out of this. But as time passed I starting noticing that it was challenging me in a new way to show up for the group and be raw and real. It wasn't safe like 1:1 sessions- more people watching, more people commenting. And that alone had value- getting me to step outside of my comfort zone, open up in an intimate way to people I didn't know very well, to trust that I wouldn't be judged or even if I felt I was it would be a learning opportunity to have to confront that, and that I was strong enough to do it. It also gave me the insight to look at myself from other perspectives. Seeing their perceptions of what I shared - and learning to untangle what resonated with me from what may have been their projections of their own beliefs.
It probably wasn't until we were about a quarter into our group that I started seeing big shifts. But when I did I could look back and trace the smaller steps forward that led me to those changes. Vision boarding pulled subconscious threads together in ways I never had believed was possible (especially from what I thought of as a magazine and poster board exercise). It centered me, gave me focus, influenced my actions and started creating alignment with I wanted in my life.
As time passed the relationships became stronger, more intimate, and a new level on which to play and grow. We have literally helped and watched each other unravel what we aren't and don't want to be together and started weaving the fabric of the lives we are thoughtfully designing for ourselves. We are all unique. Have different journeys, values, paces, and methods - but you can see the progress in others as they become more of who they really are.
The group also makes you pry of something bigger than yourself. You feel a belonging, and that you are part of each person's journey. You are connected and there is such satisfaction in being able to contribute to people finding their own path, being able to help push them and support them and see their vision start to take shape. Unknowingly to me each person's journey resonated and impacted me in some way. It had influence. I couldn't help but to make sense of it in relation to me- what fits me, what doesn't, what questions or new awareness did it uncover?
As you continue to crack open you feel a loving, gentle support. But also a push to be challenged, forced to show up (physically and emotionally), kept accountable, and propelled toward the life and goals you said you wanted.
The miracle of the group is that you unlock the key to secret doors in your own mind that you weren't consciously aware of. You wake up in a new way and see the world totally differently. And you are left more authentic and closer to who you really are, more aligned with your life and how you are choosing to live it, more fulfilled, and with a new tribe that is more like family. At least for me, in some ways, as they know me better than most and they understand me.
So I guess that's just a long-winded way of saying if you really want to change your life f*cking do it!! Take the damn step. Jump off the cliff. Believe.

When I first started seeing Jamie it was upon the recommendation of my naturopath. I had heard about hypnotherapy but never considered it was something for me. However, after my initial consultation with Jamie, I was in love… I wasn't quite ready to book a session with her but knew it was only a matter of time before I would see her again! Her approach, her aura, her entire being were absolutely magnetizing – her abilities to read, encourage and empower me were stellar!
She radiates an otherworldly openness and acceptance; she excited and ignites; she offers foresight, wisdom, and depth; she invites and welcomes all as it is: good, bad, happy or sad, as it is all a part of being You … it is all a part of being human… it is all a part of something much greater than any one of us…
Participating in the GLOW group has allowed me to become a contributing factor in something larger than myself - it has pushed me to overcome the boundaries and constraints of my own ego. As I have done one-on-one work in the past, I have found that I tend to get stuck in my personal storyline, eventually falling prey to my own values and beliefs. Sharing thoughts and experiences with others has helped me put things into perspective - I now recognize that we all have our unique path in Life which has shaped our perceptions of it and created our responses to the universe. Acknowledging this has encouraged me to look past my insecurities and self-doubts. Seeing others, with drastically different stories than mine, battling the same demons as my own, I have realized that it is all a part of being Human and it is not an isolation component custom-made specifically for me – I no longer feel as a misfit! This has given me a confidence boost and a more relaxed approach to life. The group setting has provided a safe and sacred space for inviting all that is Me: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, a place where I can dance around with my "identities" and explore their drive and quiescent; for me, facing these characters among others has been less frightening and intimidating than having a date with them on my own!
Being a part of a group has also helped me stay focused and accountable – it has kept me moving even when I have wanted to give up, it has propelled me when I have felt stuck, it has motivated me to pick up the pace when I have simply wanted to be lazy – it has allowed room for a lot fewer excuses than if I were to do this work on my own as I would not have let only myself down but my playmates as well!
Last but not least, being a part of this group has introduced me to some incredible beings – humans that inspire me in ways I could have never imagined! Sharing and connecting with people I wouldn't have otherwise encountered has granted me a type of freedom I do not have in my immediate surroundings - becoming a part of this tribe has inspirited me to dream bigger and bolder, to search for higher potential and to stay open to more possibilities! It has taught me to trust the process and to believe that everything happens for a reason.

Introduction: Save the Planet and Your Pocket. $$ Convert Your Cheap P&S Digital Camera to Rechargable
Years ago, I bought a Dolphin Jazz 2.0 Megapixel Digital Camera.
It had good features and price. It also had an appetite for AAA Bateries. Not one to walk away from a challenge, i thought i would mod it to use a rechargable battery to stop wasting batteries. Unexpected Bonus is more shots and quicker flash recharge.
If you like the mod, please vote for it in the " Discover Green Science Fair for a Better
Planet "https://www.instructables.com/contest/greensciencefair/
Step 1: Parts and Tools
Racking my brain cos it was several years ago, but you will need:
Digital camera
Old Mobile Phone with a half decent battery
Plug ( to suit the socket )
Socket ( the inline kind with the plastic screw on cover )
Something to make a dummy battery
( I used aluminium machining bar cos i had it, but most metalic stuff will do. If you are stuck, use some rolled up aluminium foil)
One crimp connector (used to crimp 2 wires together inline.
Appropriate drill bit (just larger than the Plug)
Crimping tool
Soldering Iron
Step 2: Make the Dummy Bats and Mod the Camera
First make the blank battery out of some metal, the same size as the battery you are replacing.
Second, (and probably the most dificult part, Turn the socket into a fake battery (again, same dimensions as the original battery).
Stick the inline socket in the drill and rotate it in the sandpaper until it is down to the same size as the other battery you are replacing.
Next cut off the outer plastic from about halfway down the socket. Remove the earth terminal form the socket, and solder a fairly thick wire to the centre pin. Crimp the connector on the wire and cut some of its insulation off so it can become like the positive terminal of the battery the outside part of the socket will be the negative end of the battery.
Check the fit in the camera.
Take the drill, and drill out the negative contact on the battery flap. With the drill still through the hole, slide the flap shut so you create an elongated hole in the flap.
Step 3: Make the Battery Pack
Take the old moby, rip it open and get rid of anything you dont need. Really all you need is the battery holder part, and the pins which touch the battery terminals.
Find them and solder a wire to each (taking note of which is which). Run the cable out pf the phone ( drill a hole fi necessary) and reassemble the phone.
Connect the Plug to the other end of the cable, Positive wire to the centre pin, Negative to the outer pin.
Step 4: Assemble and Test
Insert the socket (fake battery) so that the negative end lines up with the contact you drilled out.
Put the blank dummy in the other battery hole, negative end down.
Shut the flap, insert the plug and switch on.
Fire off some shots. In my case i got many more shots, and quicker flash recharge.
End result, still a cheap camera, but now with its long life, rechargable battery it gets much more use.

Nice project! I maybe misunderstanding something here. Could you make the dummy battery out of similar size wooden dowel and place a thumb tack in the end. Just thought of this, as I would not have a clue on how to make a metal dummy battery. :D
Nice! I especially liked the way you provided external power access through the camera's battery compartment. In the absence of machined aluminum rod, an old battery covered in aluminum foil might work, no? Instant battery shape!
Is that seriously a high powered battery?
Nice one, I did the same trick with a rechargeable MP4 player that keeked itself, the battery died so i used an old phone battery as a replacement, I could leterally fall asleep listening, wake up and it would be on then go for the rest of the day...
Mine goes for 20 hours! I used to do that a lot
I keep meaning to get a couple of resistors and make one of those crappy little pocket ones that use AAA's to run for a good while, I managed to get one to run direct from 3.7V it ran for six hours no problems, the volume was a little extreme, nearly doubled, then things started going wrong, the screen backlight died, the screen conked out, then it started getting hot, the music was still going, then it started jumping a bit and the whole thing dropped dead, however it was a valuable experiment in to how much abuse they can take...
I just made sure I didn't charge it too long. I have used many charges and its still going. I don't use the camera ( small upgrade to a Canon 5D :) ) and only thought of it cos I was going through old stuff. You could easily use an LED in series to drop the voltage by 1.2 volts or so. (fully charged, Lithium Ion bats can be 4.2 volts!
Several diodes in series might not work well for a very low current device, btw. The voltage drop on a diode decreases at very low currents. Many modern devices have super low power standby modes, where current drawn can be measured in microamperes. The voltage of your diode dropped battery will go up significantly in this instance and could result in some screwiness. I wouldn't go too crazy with the diodes. A 3.7V battery can typically be safely dropped with a single diode to work in place of 2xAA, but I'd be more selective on which 1.5V devices I'd try a simple diode-dropped li ion cell.
Besides.. you'd be wasting over half the battery power.
the ones I'm using are 3.7 so a drop of 2.2V is about right... however I'd just end up playing with the LED's...
You know..... if your heart is set on monkeying about with LEDs then might you consider using IR LEDs? set in a ring configuration about the lens? Sure it will look all sorts of Frankenstined, and you couldn't travel to Boston or without having to endure the same cordiality that Starerisk did. But hey you can do night shots!
Well I worked out that having an LED on it wouldn't be too bad... Also I like the idea of the camera anyway, someone did it already but doing an other one wouldn't be bad, I was thinking detachable ring of light for the edges...
You can buy LDO voltage regulators with a 3.1-3.3V output pretty cheap, and which have less than 50uA of quiescent current. But you can also just put a power diode in series to bring the voltage down to about that of 2xAA batteries.
Oh.. you were powering a single AAA cell device with a li ion cell? In some instances it would work fine, but that's never a good idea unless you know the specs of the circuitry... There could be a DC-DC converter that increases the voltage of the AAA cell in there.... and most of those can handle a range of inputs... but most of the time those two things aren't there, and you get a messed up device, like you found out. So you could use a 1.5V regulator with a low quiescent current for that kind of thing.
This is a great way to repurpose a cell phone battery! It's just too bad there's nowhere to fit it in/on the camera. This Skype phone came with NiMh AAA batteries. The very first time it died on me after leaving it off the charger for a couple days (unused), I'd seen enough. I converted this 1-week-new, 100.00 phone to lithium ion without a second thought. And now I charge this baby once a week at most. I only turn it on when I need to make/answer a call, cuz my computer will notify me when I have an incoming call.

Chatham-Kent authorities monitoring ice jam
The flood warning issued by the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority prompted the municipality to activate its Emergency Operations Centre committee shortly before 1 p.m. yesterday.
Mayor Darrin Canniff said the move allows the municipality to be on alert should the jam cause significant flooding.
Members of the Chatham-Kent Fire Services and the Economic Development Services have been canvassing residents and businesses in low-lying areas to make them aware of the situation.
"There has been some flooding along low-lying area along the Thames," Canniff said. "We're in constant contact with the Lower Thames Conservation Authority which is monitoring river flow and weather conditions."
Canniff said high water levels and slippery banks make it extremely dangerous to be along the river. "The water is extremely cold and the current is very fast. You can be swept in and lost in a matter of seconds. The best idea is to simply stay away from the river."
Mayor Canniff said the situation is dynamic and could change quickly. "Mother Nature is unpredictable so we are preparing for the potential for flooding while hoping it doesn't happen."
He urged residents with question to contact the municipality at 519-360-1998. In case of emergency, the public should call 9-1-1.

When Will Tropical Storm Katia Hit? Mexico May Be Its First Target
This is an unusual hurricane season, to say the least. First there were the unprecedentedly strong storms, and now there are no less than three named storms swirling around the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The third of these is Tropical Storm Katia, which will probably hit Mexico this weekend.
Katia, which became the 11th storm named this season, strengthened from a tropical depression on Wednesday morning to become a tropical storm, with wind speeds of up to 40 mph. Instead of forming in the east Atlantic near the African coast — like Hurricane Irma and Tropical Storm José did — Katia formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, and as such only presents a threat to the east coast of Mexico.
Thankfully, Katia does not seem likely to become as powerful as Harvey, Irma, or even José have been. However, it could still bring heavy rain and potential mudslides in the mountainous areas of Mexico where it is expected to hit. While it's still too early to predict much about Katia's exact path, it's likely that it will bring heavy rains, gusts of wind, and a rough surf to the east coast of Mexico, particularly near the coastal cities of Veracruz and Tampico.
At the moment, it looks like Katia will hit Mexico's southeastern coast on Friday or Saturday and then begin moving across the country towards the Pacific Ocean and gradually losing steam. There could be localized flooding, but Katia certainly isn't packing the same sort of punch that Harvey brought with it to the Houston area. And even though Katia is in the Gulf of Mexico, it is not expected to cause any additional problems for the areas of Texas and Louisiana that have barely started recovering from Harvey's onslaught.
There are no hurricane watches or warnings currently in effect for Katia, but that could change as the storm strengthens. The far more damaging storm this weekend is going to be Hurricane Irma, the Category 5 monster storm currently barreling its way through the Caribbean. Residents of the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Veracruz should watch out for potential flooding conditions, but they fortunately won't be facing anything like the 185 mph sustained winds that Irma brings with it.
Even though Katia is only a tropical storm right now, its mere presence attests to the unusual and serious nature of the 2017 hurricane season. If you grew up in a region often hit by hurricanes, you know that three named storms at a time is in no way normal. However, if climate scientists' predictions hold, more frequent severe storms could become the new normal. Katia may not be as strong as Irma, and Tropical Storm José has a bigger chance to become a hurricane than Katia does, but people in the areas likely to be affected should still treat it as a severe weather event.

This is a longer post than normal - in that it is a photo essay of the ongoing work on this project. In an earlier post (Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 'Replica of the Gilling West Sword') I had talked about the process of taking this early Viking Age artifact sword and preparing to forge a modern day replica.
After the plates that make up the individual billets that are used to form the core rods are prepared, the next step is to weld the blocks and draw them out to rough length. As a reminder, each of the stacks are made up of 9 layers of wrought iron / mild steel / L6 alloy, and are roughly 6" long by 1" wide and about 1 1/4" tall. Each is bound together with three loops of 'soft iron' fencing wire.
This first image shows the starting stack, the billet after welding and the rough drawn out core rod. For knives, I normally start with a stack roughly 4 inches long. My main coal forge has a good sized rectangular fire box, but even still, the six inch length of these stacks was about the longest that can be easily brought to an even welding heat.
For successful forge welding, the key is managing the fire. You can see here I have laid two lines of fire brick alongside the fire pot to further increase the size of the heat zone. The total height of the fire is roughly 12 inches, with at least four inches of burning fuel below the work being heated here. Use of a classic 'cavern' style fire is also essential to both evenly heating the metal and achieving the correct oxygen free atmosphere around it.
As soon as the stack has come up to a dull red heat, I generously flux all edges of the metal with borax. I personally use 'Twenty Mule Team' washing soda. This material still contains water in its matrix, so tends to bubble up a lot when first applied. This certainly DOES lead to more of a mess around the forge and quicker accumulation of heavy slag / clinker in the bottom of the fire pot. However, the washing borax is quite cheap (about $2 per pound) and easily available at the local grocery store. (For a longer discussion of Welding and Fluxes, see Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - 'Norse Meat Spit - Period Fluxes?'.)
This is certainly a dramatic image, if not the best illustration. Once the stack is fluxed, it is carefully brought up to an even welding heat. The stack is constantly rotated, as the lower surface in the fire is hotter than the upper. It is critical to a successful weld that the heat evenly penetrates the entire stack. A balance must be made between producing high temperatures in the forge, but at the same time not interjecting excess oxygen into the atmosphere surrounding the metal. Once the ideal temperature is reached (judged by colour and experience), the stack is quickly moved to the anvil and a series of rapid hammer strokes are worked down the surface on both sides. The pattern of these strokes not only 'tack welds' the loose plates, they also serve to sweep out the flux. This in tern floats out any debris or oxide that may have formed in between the individual plates. After 10 to 15 minutes of careful heating - the actual weld itself takes about 30 seconds! I like to do my first weld using a hand hammer, usually a 1000 gm / 2.2 pound for a combination of control and penetration.
(Sorry that I do not have an image of the actual welding. I was taking these photos myself while I worked, so they represent places in the ongoing process where I could stop for a couple of seconds to grab the camera.)
Just after the weld, while the block is still yellow hot, those binding wires should be removed. Remember these have been holding that loose stack of plates together during the initial heat to welding temperature. There is a bit of a trick to this - getting the thick stack to temperature WITHOUT burning off the much thinner wires. An alternative to using wires would be to MIG weld the plates together at the end. I'm more of a traditionalist - and the wire method is how I learned (and teach for that matter). Reguardless, the wires are now loosely welded into the flat side of the block. These are removed by grabbing the loose sides with a pair of pliers and then with a rolling motion pulling each set free. You could weld the wires into the block of course, but the way they project from the sides would make this difficult and messy. Removing the wires should be done as quickly as possible to preserve the heat in the block and reduce exposure to room oxygen (limiting scale formation).
Once the wires are removed, the block has the edges quickly wire brushed to remove old flux and any fire scale. If the hammer stokes of the first weld have been controlled and even, the sides should have remained relatively straight. The sides all round are fluxed again and the block returned to the fire. The block is once again returned to an even welding heat throughout. Careful observation during this heating will point out any areas were the initial weld may be imperfect. This will show in colour breaks through the material. Ideally there will be none of this, but if its obvious an area of the block is not welded, a second hand hammered weld may be required.
Now, I used to do my second consolidation weld using a heavier (1.5 kg / 3.5 lb) hand hammer. And then go on, again by hand, to flatten and draw out the welded billet. This process of a single weld and draw, undertaken alone, would take me roughly 2 1/2 hours. I could manage this heavy work three times over the course of two days - and then would have to take a half day off to rest. A couple of years back I invested in the first prototype of David Robertson's small air hammers. This tool, with the required air compressor, was not cheap. It does have the great advantage of not only speeding the time of drawing out, but more importantly to me (especially these days!) using MACHINE rather than MUSCLE power.
The second consolidation weld is thus taken under the air hammer. The force of the hammer ensures that the entire height of the stack is correctly welded. Starting at a welding heat also means a considerable amount of the drawing out also can occur in the same step. I work over the entire bar quickly to ensure the welds, then concentrate on drawing out using the residual orange heat.
This shows the relative size of that first weld to draw sequence. The upper stack is ready for the fire, the lower billet has been tack welded, consolidation welded with first draw. the width of both of these remains at roughly 1". You can clearly see how the thickness has been converted to length. The dark bands that show on the welded billet are the iron layers. The central bar is a core rod drawn to rough length for comparison.
I have been welding the prepared stacks two at a time. The process is to weld and run the first draw, then weld the second stack. Once both billets look pretty much as you see above, I will then finish up drawing the two to rough length. I never make it practice to attempt more than TWO billets welded as described in a single fire - or as a single work session. Both the fire and myself are too tired to perform correctly on a third weld series!
Here you can see the process of drawing the roughly 1/2 thick by 10 inch long billet out to a rough core rod. At this point I am taking each of the potential cores out to roughly 3/8 square by 24". Once all the stacks are welded, I will determine the actual length and dimension required and prepare them for the twisting process that is the hallmark of a pattern welded blade.
More to come...

Fascinating stuff. I can't wait to see the finished product.
How did the Vikings pattern weld in the old days before powerhammers? For example, were river-powered triphammers common? Or did they just do it the old fashioned way- one guy holding the billet and one guy using a big hammer?

The Democratic lawmakers wrote a letter to Kittery Trading Post, asking the store to restrict gun sales and to discontinue sales of what the lawmakers said are assault-style rifles. The letter was written by Deane Rykerson, Lydia Blume, and Patty Hymanson — who represent York and Kittery — alongside others from Maine and New Hampshire.Using legislative positions to force actions that could not be accomplished within the political system is an abuse of political power. The legislators have far more power than ordinary people. They are threaten boycotts and protests if their demands are not met. Ordinary people can boycott and protest within legal limits. Adding the power of legislators to the efforts, aimed a at singular local business, becomes an abuse of power.
"Your store to us has been a symbol of a good business that is involved in the community and the area in which it does business," said the lawmakers in the letter.
The legislators cite the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida, as one reason for the request, and say boycotts and protests are planned if the store does not respond to their letter.
Nice business you have there. Be a shame if anything was to happen to it.
This legislative bullying is all the more disturbing because it is aimed directly at the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Progressives have always disdained the Constitution. The Second Amendment draws especial vitriol because it is a direct and shining example of a limit on government power. The very essense of Progressive ideology is unlimited government power.
The exercise is bizarre because of its irrationality. Rifles are used in a tiny percentage of murders in a given year, about 3%. Semi-automatic rifles are used in a smaller percentage than that. One of the clear purposes of the Second Amendment is to provide for the arming of local militias. It is hard to imagine a better or more appropriate militia weapon than an AR15 type rifle.
AR-15 style rifles were not used in a mass murder until 2007. That rifle was a police issued rifle. It was wielded by a member of the Sheriff's tactical team, in Crandon, Wisconsin, in a domestic mass murder.
AR15 style rifles became more common in rampage shootings as the media emphasized their use and pushed for more infringements on the Second Amendment. The media push for more Second Amendment Infringements was, in effect, an incentive for mass murderers to use AR15 type rifles. Many mass murderers crave fame, hoping to achieve immortality through media coverage.
A study presented at the American Psychological Association projected a drop in rampage mass murder by at least one third, if the media would stop glorifying these events. From the study:
"If the mass media and social media enthusiasts make a pact to no longer share, reproduce or retweet the names, faces, detailed histories or long-winded statements of killers, we could see a dramatic reduction in mass shootings in one to two years," she said. "Even conservatively, if the calculations of contagion modelers are correct, we should see at least a one-third reduction in shootings if the contagion is removed."Numerous cases illustrate this effect. One of the most famous is the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, Australia.
The legislators, by pushing for greater media coverage of mass murder, and by calling for the banning of AR15 rifles, are effectively promoting mass murder with these style rifles.

According to the statistics from WordPress, people from 110 countries looked at this blog last year. This means that readers in 109 of those countries might have little interest in my promise to cover the environmental implications of this year's UK general election on 5 May; however, a promise is a promise, so bear with me for a few minutes.
Here are a few points to watch out for when the manifestos start appearing in a couple of months:
- What will happen to the UK environment if we vote in parties that want to leave the EU? This will be one of the key battlegrounds of the forthcoming campaign but, curiously, I don't think there will be immediate negative effects arising from a decision to leave the EU. This is because all EU environmental legislation has already been transposed into UK law and provides the framework that underpins how we manage the environment. However, belonging to the EU means that the UK has to fulfil a number of obligations, which has protected some aspects of environmental regulation from the worst ravages of the public sector cuts over the past few years.
- Leaving the EU will make the environment vulnerable to manifesto pledges to reduce red tape. Whilst I recognise the need to keep businesses competitive, we need to recognise that what one person sees as sensible regulation of the environment may be perceived by someone else as unnecessary bureaucracy and, therefore, ripe for repeal. Less regulation will encourage businesses to externalize their environmental costs which may look good on their profit and loss accounts in the short-term, but will have longer term consequences. I also doubt that UKIP's promise to "negotiate a bespoke trade agreement with the EU" will have any chance of success if the environmental costs of this trade are not taken into consideration.
- A bigger challenge in the short-term is the state of the economy and the resulting squeeze on public spending, as I have already mentioned (see "When Right is not right"). What we need to look for in the party manifestos is creative thinking about how to manage the environment with fewer resources. Don't be suckered by weasel words about increasing "efficiency". The public sector is already working at full stretch and any further "efficiency" can only mean that less can be done.
- Watch out, too, for words about increased spending on flood defence. There are situations around the country where improvements to flood defences are needed but also, I suspect, marginal constituencies where the memories of flooding are raw enough for such promises to deliver votes (see "More about floods …"). However, because flood defence is a function of the Environment Agency, we will need to read the small print of any such promises to make sure that this is not funded by a redistribution of budget that would result in less money for environmental protection.
- And, finally, climate change will feature in most manifestos at some point. UKIP are, at least, refreshingly frank about their intention to repeal the Climate Change Act . However, I have concerns about policy towards climate change across all the major parties. As for flood defence, it is not that I don't think that something should be done; rather that we need to watch that steps to mitigate climate change are not made at the expense of dealing with other environmental problems. I have a suspicion that politicians like climate change because the timescales are such that they reap the rewards of bold policy initiatives without running the risk of being judged on the results. We will need to unpack the rhetoric within all the manifestos to make sure that the politicians are focussed on the here and now and not just showboating.
I have already declared myself as being pro-Europe (see "What has the European Union ever done for us?") but, otherwise, I go into the election campaign undecided about how to vote. I will be reading all the manifestos with interest …
Normal service will resume in the next post.

|Nellie and Me (I'm the one in grey)
What did Nellie teach us?
1. Anticipation is a necessary life skill: Carl pointed out to me that I would have to learn to begin breaking much sooner than normal. I would also need to indicate and position myself much sooner for a right turn, since cars behind might easily become impatient with my slower speed and begin to overtake. Advanced drivers tell me that the skill is in anticipating what may happen-so drive slower in rain, keep a good distance behind the vehicle in front, constantly look ahead for warnings of speed limits and other street furniture designed to make our roads safer.
But what about life skill? Doing our best to anticipate what may happen in our lives and prepare accordingly (ok there's still lots of uncertainty....'break-downs' at any moment), whether its exams, preparing to get married, having children, spending time with ageing parents, developing interests to sustain us in retirement and...dare I say it? Thinking about 'dying well'..a subject for another day.
2. Pay attention to your innards: Nellie certainly looked wonderful on the outside with her reasonably fresh coat of bright red paint. However Carl was at pains to point out how old she was and that anything could go wrong at any time. The engine may fail, the clutch might go, the gears may play up (did we really want to do this for a leisurely four days??). But then on each of the campsites we had lots of admirers.
It's a bit of a cliche to say that so many of us pay so much attention to our appearance but are negligent of our souls. Nothing epitomises this more than OK! and Hello! magazine which focuses upon youth and beauty and all things external. Cliche or not, it's true.
3. You get a better view if you go higher and travel slower: We were warned not to go above 50mph and in fact spent most of time (no doubt annoying drivers behind) going 30-40 mph on the undulating roads of the Cotswolds. We realised how much more we noticed around us, whether it was being able to see over low hedges or just by virtue of our slowness. How fast other drivers seemed to go, and then sometimes only getting in front enough so that we joined them at the next junction.
Slowing up is difficult to talk about, since some of us need to speed up! But for those of you like me it's important to be reminded of pacing yourself in life. Sometimes going fast is necessary, but you can take so much more in by slowing up, whether it's the sound of birdsong or just enjoying the beauty of the British countryside. Our ancient tradition of enclosures may have been a mixed blessing for our forebears, but what a patchwork we have to behold.
I try to go 'slower and higher' most mornings when I aim to set aside 30 minutes to be with God. I tend to read a short letter by John Newton, usually full of pithy spiritual advice, to pray and think and read and then muse on some part of the Bible. It provides a focus for the day which would otherwise rush away from me. Not every Christian can or should do it in the same-we are all made very differently (just read a really helpful book on this subject by Larry Osborne A contrarian's guide to knowing God:Spirituality for the rest of us), but to find some way to 'get higher' is really important.
And by the way, I don't mean higher in a kind of Hendrixian 'purple haze up in the sky', kind of way, but rather attempting to view life and its priorities from God's viewpoint. The kind of experience the Psalmist had, who when writing in Psalm 73 struggled with various things going on around him, but then found a measure of clarity when he 'entered the sanctuary,,,then I understood' (verse 17).
Thank you Nellie!

JASON Thomson reckons results have been so bad the Raith Rovers squad could well have been sacked along with boss Gary Locke this week.
Locke was axed on Tuesday night, just minutes after the Kirkcaldy club slumped to a sixth successive defeat and their 14th match without a win.
However, skipper Thomson admits the blame for the dismal run should not lie entirely with the manager and assistant Darren Jackson.
He told @CCP_sport: "We were obviously aware of how bad things were but the boys were gutted to see the manager and Jacko go.
"I know it was a tough decision for the board because they had both been doing a lot around the club that goes unseen.
"The fans don't see that side and it maybe doesn't mean as much to them because a Saturday is the most important and that hasn't been going too great.
"But it's unfair that it does fall with the manager because I'm a big believer that it's down to the players.
"We've let ourselves down, the fans down and the manager, and ultimately it's cost him his job.
"There was a sense in the dressing-room that it was our fault. We know that performances and results haven't been good enough.
"If you're going to keep that form up there's only one way it's going to go.
"I'm sure if they could have sacked 20 players they might have, but it's the manager that loses his job. That's the way football is but the players take responsibility for it."
A host of names have already been linked with the Stark's Park post, with the likes of former Hibs and Inverness Caley Thistle boss John Hughes, Albion Rovers' Darren Young, former Rovers player Danny Lennon and Dumbarton manager Stevie Aitken all rumoured to be in the frame.
But Thomson knows the players will also be responsible for sparking a revival as they seek to get away from their current spot in third-bottom, just four points above Ayr United in the relegation play-off place.
He added: "We don't have a dressing room that's going to chuck it, we're all pulling together. There's no bad egg in there, we've trained well, but come a Saturday it wasn't clicking.
"We just have to make sure that, whoever comes in, we do everything we can to get out of this rut we're in."

Dean is a former St. Francis player who signed for Shamrock Rovers U19 squad in the summer of 2011. Dean plays either in the centre of midfield or up front. He has an U13 Premier league winner's medal under his belt and has come close to winning other honours having two All-Ireland runner's up medals to his credit.
In July 2013 Dean went on loan to First Division Longford Town and made his club debut in a scoreless draw with Finn Harps on 12 July. He went on to make 7 league appearances for Tony Cousins' side, scoring once, in a later 3-1 win over Harps. Dean's next outing with a LoI side was also in the midlands when he played for Athlone Town in a summer friendly against Dundee United in July 2014.
Dean featured regularly on the bench, coming off it a few times, for Athlone Town before leaving the club in September 2014 to join Collinstown FC.
In January 2015 Dean returned to Athlone during their pre-season series of matches but didn't sign for the club. He would make a return to the First Division though, as he signed for Cabinteely FC in July 2015 and he played in a 3-1 defeat to UCD on July 31st. However, it turned out that he was in fact ineligble to play that match with Cabinteely receiving a fine for their mistake. Dean returned to Collinstown FC soon afterwards and then moved on to Bluebell United before rejoining the professional ranks with a surprise move to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the SPL in January 2017.
After returning home to Ireland during the summer of 2017, Dean played with Bluebell for the first few months of the 2017/18 season before securing a surprise move to Welsh champions TNS.

In Conversation with Mário Centeno, Eurogroup President
As the Euro celebrates its 20th anniversary, the School welcomes Mário Centeno, President of the Eurogroup – the body representing Finance Ministers of the Eurozone.
The event takes place on the evening of Tuesday 16 April at Sammy Ofer Centre and is chaired by Francisco Gomes, Professor of Finance, and supported by the AQR Asset Management Institute and the Wheeler Institute for Business and Development.
Mr Centeno also serves as the Chair of the Board of Governors of the European Stability Mechanism and is the Finance Minister of Portugal, a role in which he led the turnaround of the Portuguese economy by casting aside austerity measures.
Before taking questions from the audience, Mr Centeno will discuss the role of the European single currency in an uncertain world, reflecting on how it overcame the sovereign-debt crisis to become a beacon of stability and further integration in Europe. He will also unpack the current economic situation and the prospects ahead, including what actions will be required to complete the Economic and Monetary Union.

12 Drupal Marketing Modules to Boost your Site
Truth be told, websites are kind of hard, aren't they? I mean, there's the coding, the site building, the content production and then of course, the marketing. If you code for a living, I can almost hear you sighing at the mention of the word.
But hey, even if marketing isn't your thing, it doesn't have to be that hard. The modules below will help take the edge off a bit. I've even included a few links to additional learning resources to make it very simple to get started with improving the marketing of your Drupal website.
We'll start with one of my favorites.
Easy Social
The thing I love about Easy Social is that it lives up to its name. It's a dead simple way to add social sharing links to your site and the default button set avoids the overkill you get from other solutions.
Project maintainers Leandro Nunes and Alex Weber have kept the admin interface simple and even provided instructions for adding additional services beyond the four defaults you see in the image above. It's also easy to remove any of the services you don't want to participate with.
This is an excellent choice for adding social sharing to your site - something everyone should be doing. I like this one so much I'm including it with my next theme release.
CrazyEgg Integration
Some of you may be asking, "What the hell is a CrazyEgg?" Good question. Basically CrazyEgg is an analytics service with a twist. Instead of raw numbers, it can provide you with detailed information about how people are interacting with the pages on your site. The service is very useful for optimizing your designs and this module simply helps integrate it with your site.
Here's a screenshot of a CrazyEgg heat map of the home page of my site so you can get a better idea of what it offers:
The bright areas of the image above show where users have clicked, providing valuable insight into how visitors are interacting with the page. Also included are scroll maps, confetti displays and a click count overlay. CrazyEgg isn't free, but if you want to maximize your site's potential, the $9 per month is more than worth it. Also, the CrazyEgg blog is one of the best out there.
Wildfire Email Marketing Platform
Email is an important part of any marketing effort and the Wildfire module can help you distribute emails to your users without ever leaving your site. The module uses the Wildfire HQ service to send the emails. You can start with the service for free (500 emails per month) and for those with larger email lists, the pricing is very reasonable.
Here's a demo video if you're interested in learning more:
In a list of Drupal marketing modules, you pretty much have to include the popular MailChimp service and its accompanying module. It's the 800 pound gorilla, or rather chimpanzee, in email marketing. Much like the Wildfire service, they offer a free account that allows you to send up to 2000 emails per month. They already get loads loads of exposure, so I think I'll leave it at that.
Campaign Monitor
OK, last email marketing service, I promise. But I've saved the best for last! Campaign Monitor is the service I personally use and I can attest they have a very easy to use interface and flexible templating that is perfect for designers.
They also offer RSS to email, and with news of the Feedburner service coming to an end, that's something that will come in handy for many of you. Just grab the Drupal integration module and get started moving your email list.
Google Analytics
A lot of folks simply install the Google Analytics module and then mostly forget it. Sure, you might pop by every once in a while to see some of the headline numbers. Maybe check the number of visitors or see which pages on your site are most popular, but digging a bit more deeply with your analytics will be well worth your time and help make sure you understand how well your marketing efforts are performing.
If you want to get up to speed with analytics, Google has a channel on YouTube that has some great resources you can check out. Bonus tip: combine Google Analytics with CrazyEgg data for deeper insight into how your site is performing.
This social sharing module mixes things up a bit by providing a "Mashable" like floating share bar to the side of your content. I'm not a huge fan of these floating widgets, but as you've probably noticed, they're very popular and you really should have some sort of social sharing implemented on your site. This one is definitely worth a look, but be sure to test it out on responsive designs before taking it live.
Hello Bar
How much do you hate pop ups? Probably not more than I do. They are simply the worst. But there's a reason marketer's use them - they help sell things, drive sign ups and all the other stuff most sites want you to do when you visit them.
The Hello Bar is a great alternative to annoying pop ups. You can achieve the same goals, without the intrusive overlay of a pop up. The module integrates the Hello Bar Solo library ($29 for a use anywhere license) to create a subtle colored bar at the top of the page that can be configured to slide in and out of view after set periods of time. Here's a look at a screen shot from the module page - it's the orange bit at the top:
The reason Hello Bar works so well is that is provides a gentle movement that draws the eye without interfering with what the user was doing. I think it's a really cool module/product that has applications beyond marketing.
Marketo Munchkin
No, this is not a rival to the beloved Smurfs, but rather a module that integrates the Marketo service into a Drupal website Marketo is actually quite an advanced marketing service that helps with marketing automation, lead tracking, social and a lot more. This module, however, focuses on the lead tracking features of their service. Something to look at if you're with a larger firm and collecting sales leads on your site.
Another module you can use to add social sharing links to your site is Sharethis. It's paired with the Sharethis service which allows you to customize which social services you use, as well as the appearance of the buttons. It has some slick features, and it's definitely a popular choice, but I'd still go with Easy Share. I guess I'm a sucker for simplicity.
This module integrates the Eloqua marketing service which is now part of Oracle. I would spell Eloqua phonetically for you if I knew how to pronounce it myself. Regardless, it's definitely geared toward enterprises who are looking to track leads, automate marketing and all those other things big marketing and sales teams spend their time doing.
This module/service won't be for everyone, but it's nice to see Drupal integration for a product aimed at enterprises. I think generally this list shows the breadth of the types of sites using Drupal as their CMS of choice. Pretty awesome, really.
This module helps integrate everyone's favorite social media service into their site. OK, maybe Facebook is your favorite, but Twitter is probably a close second.
There is a small gotcha with this module and it's related to changes with Twitter's API that takes effect this month. You'll need to also install the OAuth module to get things working. Once you do, you'll be able to display your Twitter feed, send tweets from your site and more.
Feeling Inspired?
Hopefully the list above has given you a few ideas. Marketing doesn't have to be a stressful thing, and don't let enterprise solutions like Marketo and Eloqua overwhelm you. You don't need things like that to be successful. Simply adding some social sharing to your site along with Google Analytics is a great first step
As my father said to me when I nervously first started out in my career, "Have fun, don't freak out and if anything goes wrong, call your mother."

What is a "gust" post? :)
Nice blog post
Nice blog post, I used some of your recommendation on my site as well. But on your own site you used share this module which proved short url within but easy share module doesn't provide this, so any solution for that.
Free Heatmap
For all your cheapskates (me included) that does not like to pay $9 a month for heatmaps I created a HeatMap module for Drupal that you can install and use without an external service. It's still under development and sandboxed but should be ready to go in a week or so. To read more and check the functionality look at:
Hello Bar Solo Library no longer available
:( They didn't even put a message to that effect on the library page!

How Virtualized Storage can Help you Save Money
by Bridget.Giacinto, on Dec 29, 2015 8:38:45 AM
Organizations are generating and collecting more information than ever, making it important to consider how it's all stored. As we've discussed before, optical media is no longer a viable medium for backups and file storage. Instead, businesses should look into virtualized storage - doing so will help save money and yield other significant benefits.
The costs of traditional storage
When you think of the IT infrastructure for a regular business, you probably imagine a room with servers and other hardware that govern all operations. While this is the case for many companies, for smaller organizations, all of this equipment can be extremely costly to maintain. Even though you may have a set number of servers, as more information is generated, many IT leaders feel the need to continue growing the number of hardware components being used to handle all of the incoming data. However, as Network Computing noted, the value of procuring individual components is diminishing and placing pressure on business finances. By virtualizing storage, server hardware for many users has been reduced by 50 to 80 percent. This improved infrastructure efficiency reduces capital and operational costs, as well as frees up space for other initiatives. As data becomes more critical for organizations, virtualizing storage will be a critical move to ensure that expenses remain manageable and files are still easily accessible.
Benefits of virtualization
"Virtualization's reliability is a major asset for getting the business running after disaster strikes."
The cost savings afforded by virtualization can be critical for business success. Not only will the change reduce hardware expenses, but it will also lower power and cooling consumption, which are often major drains on operating budgets. Besides this significant advantage, virtualizing storage can offer a number of other benefits to organizations. As InfoWorld noted, virtualizing storage can enable faster provisioning, increase uptime and improve disaster recovery efforts. The consequences of unplanned downtime are rising, making virtualization's reliability a major asset for restoring systems and getting the business running after a disaster strikes.
"[M]ost enterprise server virtualization platforms have software that can help automate the failover when a disaster does strike," InfoWorld stated. "The same software usually provides a way to test a disaster recovery failover as well. Imagine being able to actually test and see your failover plan work in reality, rather than hoping and praying that it will work if and when the time comes."
Virtualization can bring significant results for your business. To find out more about how virtualized storage can benefit you, check out this video!

Honestly I'm still not sure what to make of All About Passion. It was probably a couple hundred pages too long. For some time there didn't seem to be anything going on. At one point there was a couple of pages (possible THREE pages), of Francesca talking to the gardener about what he should do. I'm pretty sure that was completely unnecessary. As to the relationship between Gyles and Francesca, it was plain as day to tell what they felt about one another. It was just a matter of Gyles admitting to what he felt. Finally, things seemed to be getting somewhere when odd things began to happening, however, it was incredibly predictable (I mean more predictable than what goes on in most romances). I saw what was going on with Franni from the beginning.
As for the characters themselves... well I kind of liked them, I have to admit I especially liked Charles and Osbert for some reason. Francesca thankfully, was different from the others from the Cynster novels, though of course, still had a backbone and could stand up for herself. There was one thing that bothered me about her, completely disgusted me to be honest. However, I think that might be considered a spoiler so feel free to highlight this: Francesca used to watch her parents get it on without them knowing. No lie. Gyles, was an ok character, though as much of a disappointment to me as Lucifer from All About Love.
I've given it a three out of five stars on goodreads because of the weird thing with Francesca, the lacking in plot and the fact that it was just too long for its own good.
This is a book from my own personal library.

Is Futurama the Best Argument Against Transhumanism?
This is an interesting video about the future of our world and the vision of transhumanism.
But, first, what is transhumanism (according to wikipedia) ?
Transhumanism, abbreviated as H+ or h+, is an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.
Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies. They predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label "posthuman".
More information about this video :
Transhumanism is a scientific philosophy that says technology will solve all our human biological constraints and that immortality is right around the corner (well not RIGHT around the corner, but WAYYY closer). They envision a world of endlessly euphoric robo-humans that represent the next step in evolution. And while this sounds super awesome, we had to ask, will this really make us happy?!
If you watch Futurama, than you know that the answer is probably NO. While not an exact illustration of transhumanism, Futurama does show a future of vast technological ability, where today's everyday problems are rendered moot, and yet the characters on the show still seem to find themselves in some very non-euphoric emotional states. Does this disprove what transhumanists expect for our future?

The Loop (Games)
Do you like this video?
The Nail Gun is a hardmode ranged weapon dropped by Nailhead during Solar Eclipses. It uses Nails as ammo which are sold by the Merchant or the Arms Dealer for 1 each, only when the player has the gun in his inventory. When a nail hits an enemy it sticks to it, dealing a small amount of damage. After roughly 2 seconds the nail explodes, dealing much more damage. The explosion does not damage the shooter.
After roughly 30 blocks, the nails begin to arc in a manner similar to arrows. The projectiles are considered rockets, so they will get bonuses from sets such as Shroomite Armor.

text: Midwest Home Sales Were Up In June And July The National Association of Realtors reported last Friday (08-21-09) Home sales in the Midwest surged 8.5 percent in July, the second straight annual increase, as new home buyers snapped up properties to take advantage of a temporary federal tax credit. $8,000 plus historic low rates are powerful incentive's for first-time home buyers to act now Yes, it's no surprise cash giveaways to new home buyers of up to $8,000 work. The Real-estate industry had lobbied for a $15,000 giveaway but thankfully enough legislators thought that was too generous. Like any government giveaway program, many question the fairness of the rules. The fairness of just giving it to first-time buyers is the rule most in question. People argue it's the second and third time home buyers who have paid 3x to 5x more taxes over their working careers than young first-time buyers. For those upset with government giveaways you'll love this fact: people who defaulted and walked away from mortgage obligations three years ago can be eligible for the $8,000. Higher income taxpayers will be excluded from getting any credit. They get to pay the most in taxes and listen to those who get the tax benefits complain the system is unfair. The first-time IRS "Homebuyer Tax Credit" is better then the traditional dollar-for-dollar reduction in tax liability credit. This gift is 100% refundable. In IRS speak, "refundable" is better then getting all your federal taxes paid back. It means that even if you pay little, say $1,200 or even no tax your Uncle Sam gives you $8,000. But wait...there's more cash back possibilities if you are also eligible for the IRS "Earned Income Credit" (EIC). Lets just say you could pay ZERO in federal taxes and be eligible for up to around $12,800 if you are a first-time homebuyer eligible for EIC. Like many things, fairness is always in the eye of the taxpayer, legislators and what side of the fence you sit on. So, let's put aside that argument to give some good advice to those who want to own a home and who are eligible for these giveaways a.k.a. tax benefits. Bad news for some is great news for others While declining prices are bad news for owners and bankers, lower prices are great news for first-time home buyers. The median sales price in the 12-state Midwest region declined about 6 percent from year-ago levels to $157,200 -- the smallest decline among the four national regions, the association said. Nationally, home resale's rose 5.6 percent in July, the first annual increase since November 2005. Affordability is driving sales -- the median sale price fell 15 percent to $178,400. Compared with last year, home sales rose in all but three of the 12 Midwestern cities tracked in The Associated Press-Re/Max Monthly Housing Report, also released Friday. If you're young with a good job, thinking about owning a home, don't let these gifts get away. No I don't sell real-estate or mortgage loans. I simply recall my first home purchases during the days of double digit inflation, high unemployment and 10-12% mortgage rates with no government giveaways. This is a no-brainer. No college financial degree required. When the government tosses out two once-in-a-lifetime gifts: 1) $8,000 first-time Homebuyer Credit(IRS Rules) 2) 40 year historic low interest rates. And when the market offers up the third gift of lower prices...I say buy now before the December 1st window closes. And if you are a parent or grandparent who can afford an early christmas gift, get on the phone and offer to match the IRS $8,000. Access to free Tax Education from IRS and H&R Block websites.

Malaysian retail chain Kioda to enter India, plans to invest $10 million
Malaysian fashion & lifestyle concept retail chain Kioda is planning to enter India.
It will be a joint venture with franchise solutions company Franchise India Holdings Ltd, where both the companies will be investing about $10 million over the next three to four years.
The company is planning to open 200-300 concept stores in India over the next 5 years, starting with New Delhi September 2017 followed by Mumbai & Chennai.
It plans to source 10-30% of its products locally and will import the rest from Malaysia.
Kioda stores are based on Korean concept & experience
Globally it has over 40 outlets across 13 countries & retails products in nine categories.
The challenge for the brand will be the pricing & affordability of the products as Kioda will be competing with young fashion brands like Forever 21 & H&M.
Pricing, value and the digital game will also be critical factors in deciding Kioda's fate in India.
