Someone you have dealings with over the next few days could be important to you during the rest of the year, so talk to them and be nice to them and find out where they are going in their life. You could be going the same place too!
June 21 - July 22
Yesterday's Horoscope
You may not be the kind to make fun of people when things go wrong in their lives but what happens today will be so ridiculous that you cannot help but laugh out loud. Hopefully they will laugh with you – if not, you could lose a friend.

MILWAUKEE -- A community grieves saying its final goodbye to Milwaukee icon and cycling legend, Chris Kegel.
While singing Ave Maria, mourners sobbed over the loss of Chris Kegel. Gathered at St. Matthias Catholic Parish on Saturday, February 18th, they not only shared embraces but fond memories.
"To know him as a little kid and see how he's progressed; his love for bikes and people. It's amazing that he made such a mark," said Josephine Winter, aunt.
After nearly 40 years as a bicycle advocate and owner of Wheel and Sprocket, Kegel has impacted lives in many ways.
"Chris was such a huge presence in so many people's lives," said Robbie Webber, bicycle advocate.
Many different people carry the same sentiment.
"Just giving to everyone, his time, his energy. Just a huge loss. We are going to miss him a lot," said Webber.
Kegel passed away Tuesday, February 7th, after a battle with a rare and aggressive form of liver cancer. Saturday, the mass to pay last respects was intimate, however love and support was shown well before this day -- especially during the time of diagnosis at his "Slow Roll."
"It was amazing, especially his bike ride that he had last fall and how many people showed up, and for the party he was here, had a great time and just wanted to see his friends and family. It was really inspiring," said Winter.
The joy and positivity he brought to others remains.
"The advice that he always gave was really all stuff that lasts and his legacy will live on; like follow your moral compass and try to always be the best person you can be," said Dave Schlabowske, deputy director of Wisconsin Bike Club.
Words his wife and four children live by as well.
"I love him then, I love him still, rest in peace dad," said Noel, Kegel's son.

Nollywood Actress, Ngozi Nwosu, most famous for her role, "Peaceful Peace', one of the troublesome wives of Chief Fuji in the Amaka Igwe's soap, Fuji House of Commotion, was on the hot seat of the popular TV Game Show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, helping to raise funds for Usman Pategi of Samaja fame.
A few years down the line, she would appear on the same show, in company with two other persons, playing to raise funds for her medical treatment. The actress was a recipient of the N1m that was won on the show to aid her treatment and was assisted by entertainment journalist, Seun Oloketuyi, and fellow thespian Lillian Amah. The talented actress recently recovered from her illness and is fully back on her feet. In her recent interview, she talks about the issue of several Cliques in Nollywood and if one is to get a good role, he or she must belong to one clique or the other she further stated that this new development could destroy the growth of Nollywood and roles should be open to Talents who are worth it. Read the full interview below
"One of the things killing the film industry is the fact that it is riddled with too many cliques. Nowadays, it appears that you have to belong to a clique in the industry to get a role in a movie. This is really silly and something has to be done about it. I don't want to belong to any clique. Although I am seriously affected by this unhealthy development, I believe there will be a change of attitude soon. The only thing that is constant in life is change. Nevertheless, I am still available to anyone who sees me as a professional and wants to work with me,"
She talks further about the old school actors and actresses returning as a result of not getting roles anymore..she stated:
"They are ready to work, if they are given jobs to do. But this doesn't mean they should go down on their knees to beg the producers."

Wednesday Nite at the Lab
UW Genetics-Biotechnology Center 425 Henry Mall, Madison, Wisconsin 53706
Free UW Alumni Association lecture series: "Drugs, Books, and Patients: Marketing Medieval Medicine," by Walt Schalick.
press release: Modern health care faces innumerable structural challenges. From the opioid crisis to pandemic threats to hospital-community churn, easy solutions elude us. In this talk, based on Schalick's research over the last 20 years, he will explore some of these topics over the long haul. Because a number of health care structures were established in the Middle Ages — including universities, drug prescriptions, and medicalized hospitals — Schalick will try to answer questions about how medieval medicine laid the groundwork for drug regulations, including for opiates; how the explosion of medieval medical education drove the early professionalization of European medicine; and how those changes affected the patient experience.
Schalick is a historian of medicine and a pediatric rehabilitation physician. After receiving degrees in physics and English literature, he earned his MD and PhD from Johns Hopkins, followed by residencies and fellowships at Harvard in pediatrics and in physical medicine and rehabilitation. He was a faculty member at Washington University in Saint Louis before coming to the UW in 2007. Here he has had appointments in orthopedics and rehabilitation, pediatrics, and the history of science, among others; he was the founding director of disability studies; and he now guides research didactics for rehabilitation medicine. Schalick is also the medical director for the Central Wisconsin Center, which assists people who have developmental disabilities. He has lectured on four continents and is widely published on topics including modern disability history, medieval pharmacology, disability and medicine, clinical research, and ethics. His research has been funded by the NIH, NEH, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, German government, and others.

Behind, I think most of my readers are use to me being behind. Gracie had a four day weekend this week though and I've had a great time with her. We even did just a very small bit of shopping. I really mean small too, usually we go all out.
The best thing about this "change of life" for me is all the changes. This time around my weight loss journey has stuck around much longer for me and my mind has actually changed. I've already told you about my not being hungry and no cravings.
The reason we had to do a little bit of shopping were my bras were beginning to not fit and they were actually making me feel uncomfortable. So, when the BEAR (Gracie) woke up, we ran off to the mall. We went and started looking for bras. OK, at the same store, same type of bra- I went down a band size and two cup sizes. It didn't make Michael extremely happy but, hey—— I'm bouncing off the walls! I haven't worn this cup size since I was in high school :).
I was also able to wear a pair of Rock Revival Jeans and Miss Me Jeans that I haven't had on in two years, yes, two years! They fit without me having to jump around and make them fit too. Now, Michael liked that! The jeans I have been wearing are a little saggy in the behind. So, I'm really glad that I reached into the back of my closet and brought out my old jeans. I love doing measurements on each Friday. I'd love to measure more often but I won't. It's like Christmas on Friday :).
This has already made me want to get out of my t-shirt and tennis shoes mode and get back into my blouse and cowgirl boots mode. I'm feeling so much better, I just can't express it. I feeling better mentally, physically and emotionally. This is all because of my new views on my "change of life".

JPMorgan Chase Expands Coverage of Franchise and Restaurant Clients, Launches Dedicated Industry Group
JPMorgan Chase's Commercial Bank announced the launch of the Franchise and Restaurant Group within its Middle Market Banking & Specialized Industries business and has appointed Michael Pura to lead the effort.
"Clarence started the ball rolling in bringing together the full force of JPMorgan Chase behind one cohesive strategy," said Pura, "and he put together the business plan. I came aboard a year ago."
Pura is referencing Clarence Nunn, who is managing director with JPMorgan Chase, and to whom Pura reports. Nunn was formerly the head of GE Capital Franchise Finance before joining JPMorgan Chase. Pura, who worked for Nunn at GE, was hired a year ago and has been pulling together the team and systems there before the launch.
JPMorgan Chase will work with established and high-growth restaurant chains and groups. "We are looking at all brands," he reported. "For us, there has to be strategic rationale. If we have a relationship with the franchisor, we would like to support their franchisees."
They will provide tailored banking and financial solutions, including credit and financing, treasury and merchant services, commercial cards and international banking. Pura reports that they will not be limited on transaction size, and will seek to do syndications with other restaurant lenders.
Borrowers also will have access to the Chase Connect digital banking platform to manage their finances, pay bills, receive and transfer money and more.
"Chase Connect allows an operator to use technology to help them be more efficient," said Pura. "For instance, Chase Connect allows an operator to electronically pay all their bills and vendors. The owner can approve the transaction online, and it saves them time and money on processing. It's just one example of what it can do. It will resonate with operators.
"I think what you are going to see from JPMorgan Chase, whether you are a 5-unit operator, 35-unit operator, 100-unit operator—we would like to work with you, and we are differentiating ourselves with investments in technology."
The group will partner across JPMorgan Chase's other lines of business including Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management, to meet clients' long and short-term needs.
Over Pura's 20 years in banking, "My time in the franchise space was my most favorite role," he said. "I love the industry and the people in it. You have the American dream happening. You don't see that in the U.S. much anymore. The people in the space, the operators, and the folks on the teams I have been able to be a part of all make it a great experience."

Hellfire club
Robert Oppenheimer is the most tragic public figure of the twentieth century.
One doesn't see crazy anti-communist paranoia much anymore.
Whatever happened to existentialism?
It is ironic (and common) that people who lack culture fight against "losing" what they never possessed. See Pegida.
It's great to see real Germans stand against the Rechtsextremismus that has long percolated in the East.
Before they make me run
Mr Piketty is a significant improvement over recent heroes of the bookish left, eclipsing the likes of Negri, Hardt, and Graeber.
Patrioten gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes: looks like 1990-92 all over again. At that time, the targets were refugees from the Balkans. It was not safe for a "foreigner" to travel in the former DDR lands. Halle and Dresden were dangerous.
The DDR had pockets that were never fully de-Nazified. Traditions of xenophobia and revanchism were nursed over the decades in secret, breaking out into the streets after the Wende. in the early 1990s, Vietnamese and Angola workers were attacked in broad daylight throughout the former East Lander. Buildings housing asylum seekers from the Balkans War were torched. Helmut Kohl pandered to the tiny following of neo-Nazi Parties by blaming foreigners for high levels of unemployment in the post-reunification East.
Pegida is the political inheritor such Rechtsextremismus, which has always played the victim card — "stab in the backism" — to the hilt. It is better financed and more media savvy than its competitors on the right.
There is no "culture" that is not always already multicultural. The idea that cultures exist in some pristine state, hermetically sealed off from "external influences," is risible.

Rabbie's launch first Cabrio service
Rob Orchard reports on Britain's first registered service to use EVM Cabrio open-toppers
The very first registered service to be operated using EVM Cabrio open topped minicoaches was launched in Edinburgh on June 1 by established Scottish tour operator Rabbie's Trail Burners.
Called the Edinburgh City Tour, the new service also represents Rabbie's first regular service, hitherto all their services have been private tours. I met up with Rabbie's Director of Operations, Jeff Ferguson to learn how the service was conceived.
It all began, according to Jeff, from a meeting back in 2014 between the founder of Rabbie's, Robin Worsnop and EVM Sales Director, Danny McGee. They were sitting in a restaurant on Edinburgh's Princes Street looking at the classic Edinburgh skyline. Robin and Danny are old friends stretching right back to KVC days. Robin told Danny that he had an idea for running a City Tour but didn't want to take on the established operators using large buses, he wanted to do it with small vehicles that could access interesting parts of the city that the larger vehicles can't reach and wondered if Danny had any ideas of how to produce a suitable vehicle. That is just the sort of challenge Danny McGee thrives on. Shortly after Danny came up with the embryo Cabrio design and after further meetings with Robin and visits to Robin Verachtert of Caleche, a Dutch company that manufacturers the sliding roof, the bones of the plan were in place. Danny went on to develop a prototype (see issue 1369). Once Robin Worsnop and his team saw the vehicle and drove it around the city they were convinced it could work.
They went away and developed the idea for the Edinburgh City Tour and placed an order with EVM for three Cabrios. Robin was very keen on being one of the first operators in Britain to run these unique vehicles.
Edinburgh has a number of established sightseeing bus tour operations although in fact most of them are run by Lothian Buses using a variety of liveries and fleet names. Rabbie's were keen not to simply copy what the established tour operators were doing but provide something different and they didn't want to alienate Lothian Buses with whom they have always had very good relations.
'We decided to primarily target the new visitor to Edinburgh' said Jeff,' giving them a quick snap shot tour of the City's iconic landmarks but also revealing to them some of Edinburgh's secret treasures that bigger vehicles can't access.'
They also decided to operate it as a complete tour and not the usual hop-on/hop-off format. Jeff again, 'we felt that with just sixteen seats doing hop-on/hop-off would be difficult.'
The tour takes in all of Edinburgh's key land marks. It starts and finishes at the same location as other tours, Waverley Bridge, the bridge that spans the railway tracks at Edinburgh Waverley station right in the heart of the city. It then takes in Princes Street, the Scott Memorial, Edinburgh Castle, the Grass Market, Greyfriars Bobby, the National Museum of Scotland, the Cathedrals of St, Giles and St. Mary's, Holyrood Palace, the new Parliament Building and Arthur's Seat but the tour also takes in less visited places like tiny Thistle Street, the Royal Mile, quaint Dean Village and the Water of Leith.
The Tour lasts 1.25 hours and costs £20 for Adults (16+) and £10 for children (5+). The Tour runs every hour from 09.00 to 19.00, every day.
The vehicles are extra-long wheelbase Mercedes-Benz Sprinters with the 163bhp four cylinder Euro6 diesel engine matched to 7G Tronic Plus automatic transmission. This is a departure for Rabbie's because they usually specify manual transmission for their vehicles but it was felt that for a service operating around a heavily trafficked city, automatics would be less stressful on the driver.
The vehicles have a powered plug entrance door which opens onto a three step entrance up to the flat saloon floor. They have 16 Politecnica seats, all but the back row recliners, with three point belts. There is also a tip-up Politecnica courier seat at the front. The Cabrio is fitted with panoramic tinted double glazing including the roof and the vehicle benefits from convection heating and an ingenious heating and air conditioning system. The sliding roof is in three sections with the rear two sections sliding into the third front end module which does not open. With the roof closed the main structural rings are pressurised to maintain structural integrity. It takes less than 30 seconds to open or close the roof though this must be done with the vehicle stationary and preferably on level ground. As I proved in my evaluation of the vehicle (BCB Issue 1369, 11 March) it is perfectly feasible to operate the vehicle with the roof open even on very cold days.
The vehicle is fitted with a multi lingual commentary system fitted by Autosound of Bradford. The commentary is triggered by GPS tracking and the driver has a screen on the dash which shows that the commentary is keeping pace with the vehicle position on the Tour. Drivers also have a microphone which can override the commentary allowing them to add extra information from their own knowledge. Rabbie's drivers need to not only be good drivers but knowledgeable tour guides as well and are carefully selected to ensure they combine both talents. There are currently 85 of them plus some similarly trained part timers to cover peaks.
The commentary is fed to head-sets issued to each passenger and these plug into units mounted in the back of the seat in front. The commentary is delivered by a character called Rabbie who effectively gives the visitors a local's perspective on their beloved city. It is very entertaining and informative.
I was impressed by, but not surprised by, the attention to detail paid in developing the tour package by Robin Worsnop and his team even down to the stunning vehicle graphics representing the iconic Edinburgh skyline.
Rabbie's also believe there is a considerable potential for private hire work with these vehicles and even before the service started they had begun to receive enquiries. There is no doubt that the vehicles are head turners as I found out when I went on a pre-launch tour with one of the vehicles.
The Rabbie's core business remains the operation of small group tours, a mix of one day and longer packages are offered. These naturally centre mainly on Scotland but also extend to the whole of England and Ireland. This year they have also started their first continental tour with a five day package to France. Rabbie's have bases in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin and London. Their Irish Tours are sub-contracted to Rose Travel of Tralee who use vehicles of similar specification.The company started operating in 1993 and have been copious winners of tourism and especially green tourism awards.
All the Rabbie's fleet of 57 minicoaches (not including the new Cabrios) are to the same specification. They are all Euro6 EVM Mercedes-Benz Sprinter extra-long wheelbase 516s with six speed manual transmission, thirteen new this year. They are fitted with tinted bonded double glazing, air conditioning, convection heating, a comprehensive in-coach entertainment system including pa and 16 recliners equipped with three point seat belts.
EVM have already taken orders for Cabrios from operators in Ireland, Northern Ireland and England. They are also now building complete left hand drive Cabrios for Caleche for their European customers and have already delivered six vehicles to them.
Robin Worsnop has always been passionate about protecting the environment by buying the latest vehicles with the best anti-pollution credentials and in training drivers to drive green. They devised a training programme for their drivers in conjunction with the Energy Savings Trust. The training is mandatory and since its introduction they have seen a dramatic fall in the amount of fuel used. They have also found that competition amongst the drivers to be the most fuel efficient has become a great motivator.
The launch took place at Rabbie's head office in Edinburgh just at the Waverley end of Princes Street. It is not only the offices of the company but it also houses a public café-bar which serves delicious food and some of the best coffee I've ever had. Typical of Rabbie's your coffee is prepared not by a Barista but a 'Rabista'. You can also obtain information on all of Rabbie's tour programme and even book them there, typical clever Rabbie's thinking.
At the launch Robin Worsnop paid tribute to the team that had produced the new Edinburgh City Tour, to Danny McGee of EVM and Robin Verachtert of Caleche for developing the vehicles. (Both were present at the launch) and Edinburgh City Council whom he said had been very supportive. The actual traditional ribbon cutting was performed by Councillor Gavin Barrie from Edinburgh City Council.
A few days after the tours had started, I contacted Jeff Ferguson to see how they had gone. He said, 'We've had a fantastic first week operating these unique vehicles in the city. They are a real head turner and our drivers are reporting a lot of visitors are stopping to take pictures of the buses. As well as pre-booking the tour a lot of our customers see the bus, and the small group and just walk up to join the tour. We've been blessed by some beautiful weather for our first week of operating and we're now hoping for a long hot summer with the roof down and lots of happy passengers getting a local's perspective on the city'
Both Robin Worsnop and Danny McGee are innovators and it will be interesting to see how the service develops, I suspect it will do well.

Book Review
Predicting human behaviour – is it possible? That's one of the questions posed by Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, in his new book, Bursts.
We are all predictable to a lesser or greater degree. I can tell which topics are going to cause my husband to rant about the government – and I know the rants off by heart. My sister's husband always does the ironing at 4pm on Sundays. And the chances are if you come into my study at the end of a long workday I'll be playing some addictive game on the computer. I can also tell you that at some point I will become completely annoyed with myself for wasting time and will remove the game or block the website it's on, and this will be followed by a period without any game-playing – until another one catches my attention, of course.
As a facilitator who uses Clean Language Symbolic Modelling to help people figure out patterns like these, and to consider what they would like to have happen instead, I know that it's possible to get right into the detailed thinking patterns that are behind these kinds of actions and this is only possible because the pattern is the same every time. A pattern is, by its very nature, something that repeats and so is predictable. But I am talking about and dealing with the patterns of one individual at a time. Bursts, on the other hand, is about predicting human behaviour en masse, in much the same way we predict the weather these days, with about 95% accuracy.
I was drawn to this book because of the promise that it would reveal 'the hidden pattern behind everything we do'. A very tempting subtitle! And although I wouldn't recommend you rush out and buy it (more than half the book is given over to telling the tale of a 16th century Hungarian crusade, which I found very tedious and largely irrelevant, especially when I discovered the 'prediction' it was centred upon could have been written 20 or 30 years after the event) it does have a one or two good bits…
Where's George?
For example, did you know that there's a website called www.wheresgeorge.com which tracks the whereabouts of dollar bills? If you're in the States, you may get a bill with this URL written on it, and if so, you can type its serial number into the database, see where it's been, and add its new location if you feel so inclined. Or you can start tracking a new bill and add write the web address on yourself. Analysis of the database shows that dollar bills tend to hand around in a neighbourhood for a while and then make a sudden leap right across the country. I love this idea of tracking dollar bills (and I'm glad there's not a good UK equivalent, it's just the kind of thing I could waste even more time doing!)
Of course, the sudden leap is easy to explain – someone got on a plane and spent the bill at their desination. It's also an example of the 'bursty' pattern that this book is about. Put simply, we do things in bursts. We write a batch of emails then don't look at our inbox for several hours. We play a computer game several times and then not again until the next day. We even diet in bursts – hence the term yo-yo dieting. And Barabasi argues that knowledge of this pattern (which can be written as a mathematical formula), together with the technological advances which allow us to collect huge swathes of data about individuals and their movements, points to a future where we will be able to predict human behaviour.
Encased in Cement
The bit I liked best, though, adds credence to David Grove's idea of treating metaphorical language as though it's literal...
People who are depressed often use metaphors such as, "It's like being 'encased in cement, you just can't drag your body out of bed". Since doctors have to rely on subjective descriptions like this for diagnosing depression, many people view depression 'as little more than a sign of personal weakness'. So scientists in Tokyo set out to discover whether there is any physical basis for descriptions like this. They attached 'accelerometers' (devices that can detect every movement, no matter how minimal) to the wrists of 25 individuals and measured the amount of movement in those wrists.
They found that our hands follow the same bursty pattern of movement and rest, where most rests are just for a few seconds and some (e.g. when we're asleep) last several hours. But the average rest period in the depressed subjects was twice as long (15 mins) as the rest periods in healthy subjects (7 mins). So they came to the conclusion that descriptions like being 'encased in concrete' are not just figures of speech or illusions, but are based on physical reality.
All of the examples quoted in this book seemed to me to be quite obvious, and I suppose that's the point. If everything we do is 'bursty' it's highly likely that we'll recognise our own patterns of behaviour in the examples given.

By Matthew E. Milliken
Aug. 20, 2014
Ouch, I did it again.
Just as I'd started to forget all about my swollen ankle, I got myself into another mess.
On Sunday afternoon, I was bicycling around my childhood home. For the past four days or so, I had been riding about a mile to the end of the road that runs by my old elementary school and then turning around.
But in the interests of stretching my wings, I'd decided to change up things. Instead of turning to pass the school, I zipped along a road that carried me over a local highway. I started moving by side streets and extended driveways that I'd barely seen despite having frequented this road for decades of my life.
But my poor underutilized legs and lungs were feeling stressed, so I decided to turn around without exploring any of these obscure byways. There was little traffic, so I executed a lazy turn at an intersection and tried to begin building up speed for the uphill ride back home.
I ran into trouble at a T-intersection that I'm very familiar with from years of driving. My memory is a bit hazy, but I recall there being two cars at the spot: One waiting to make a right turn to go down the hill, and another waiting to move onto the road I was traveling. (Which direction? To the driver's right, perhaps, but I'm not sure.)
I was moving at a pretty fast clip, so I decided for safety's sake to slow down slightly. I also recall spotting a divot in the road ahead of me, which I tried to steer around. This, I think, was my big mistake.
Suddenly, the tires slipped. My two-wheeler tilted toward the road, and my body started dropping onto the asphalt. The exact sequence is lost to me, but in short order, my left knee absorbed no small part of the impact; the back of my left hand and wrist ever so briefly touched the ground; the right side of my right knee touched down even more briefly; and the outside part of my right hand and arm brushed the earth. I remember that at some point, the left side of my helmet hit the ground and glided for a few inches — possibly farther than that.

A Shanghai advertising firm is offering people across the country up to 1 million free bicycle rides a day, as part of a scheme that will run until 2010.
After registering their ID cards, cyclists can pick up and drop off their Ibike Media bikes at any of the firm's service stations.
People can rent the bikes for up to four hours at a time, Li Yi, a press officer with the company, said.
The company has 110,000 bicycles, which are available to borrow in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Jinan, Changzhou and Changsha, he said.
Each bicycle could be used by 10 people a day, which makes up the 1 million rides, Li said.
Most of the service stations are located in local communities, and near metro stations and universities, he said.
"As rising petrol prices are making more people opt for two rather than four wheels, the service is pretty popular," Li said.
In Shanghai, cyclists will have access to 1,500 service stations and between 60,000 and 80,000 bikes, he said.
Jin Li, an engineer who lives and works in Shanghai, said: "Not many buses go to my workplace, and the roads are always jammed at rush hour, so riding a bicycle is the best option."
The free service can also help reduce bicycle theft and eliminate maintenance expenses, Li said.
"Each bicycle is equipped with a GPS satellite signal transmitter," he said.
"If stolen or damaged, the bicycle automatically locks and the positioning signal pinpoints exactly where it is," he said.

This year, it took me weeks to think about what to give my girlfriend for her birthday.
Clothes? No, because I'm not good at choosing them. Cosmetics? I really don't know anything about them. Taking a bracelet seemed too commonplace. Also the budget was quite limited.
I really didn't know what to give her.
The days passed and the birthday was approaching. Time was running out and ideas were scarce. Then one evening, while we were watching a movie together, I started scritching her head. After a while she said: "if for my birthday you give me an hour like this, I will be more than happy!" And so I had the idea: for his birthday I could have improvised a SPA in my house and dedicate my best attention to her.

Paul who? A reasonable question. Hamilton, once described by the Poetic Literary Review as 'a diabolical libertarian', has remained firmly under the public radar ever since he first started writing poetry in the early nineties. But now it is time for him to receive the recognition he deserves. Hamilton's cousin, Kevin Eldon, stand up comedian and stalwart of numerous television and radio comedies over the last twenty years, presents a fascinating insight into the life, work and times of a poet who stands in a class all of his own.
My Prefect Cousin charts the roller coaster ride of a life dedicated to verse; the emotional highs, the murky depths, with personal contributions from Hamilton that are often characterised by a brutal honesty that is not for the faint hearted. Or indeed the weak stomached.
My Prefect Cousin also contains for the very first time on the printed page 'Shadows of Reflections', the anthology of poetry Hamilton has failed for so long to find a publisher for. Until now.

Why Pakistan's powerful Army & assertive judiciary are within an crash program.
New Delhi: In an unprecedented move, the Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa Tuesday suspended the three-year extension granted to the Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa of the country, sending the Nation into a spell of uncertainty and shock.
This is the time when the Army, which controls everything in Pakistan, is on a collision path with an judiciary which has routed the Imran Khan government into a tizzy. Federal Law Minister Farogh Naseem resigned from his position, while hearing a petition filed by an unknown group before it just hours after the telling was suspended by the Supreme Court bench for expansion.
The cabinet met soon and amended the Army Regulations (Rules) to include a provision for an'extension in tenure' of the military leader. Lately, Gen Bajwa had famously said that he wouldn't seek an expansion and retire on 29 last year November, which will be two days off. The first spark — Bajwa gets a not-so-surprising expansion
Gen Bajwa had shot over in 2016. The statement went against Khan's own position on the issue. As an opposition fighter, Khan had himself Pakistan Army chief Gen Raheel Sharif for'denying' to extend his tenure and stated judges and generals ought never to be given extensions.
The extension of bajwa indicated the second time in nearly a decade the nation's top general had his conventional three-year term extended. The first was in 2010 when the chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani was granted an extension by the prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, after consultations with president Asif Ali Zardari.
Gen Bajwa's expansion , however, made a flutter among the very best army commanders and even political parties.
'Understandably, this conclusion didn't go down well with the mature leadership of generals, including his corps commanders,' he wrote. 'They would have seen it coming, but had no option .'
The tenure of justice Khosa, whose, has hinted at reforms to pull the judiciary out of a quagmire, especially the ballooning number of backlog cases.
He is notorious for standing up to the powers and contested dictator Gen Pervez Musharraf and was sacked in 2007 for it. On 3 November 2007, Musharraf had declared a state of emergency and suspended the constitution. He demanded that the judges of the superior judiciary to retake oaths under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO). However, Justice Khosa was sacked and refused to abide by the presidential order.
Justice Khosa was restored to his former position as a high court judge on 18 in the wake of an unprecedented mass movement.

BMI Isn't Useless
You have probably heard that Body Mass Index is not an accurate or viable way to measure your health.
Well, true in some ways. And not so true in other ways.
Body mass index is a standardized study of thousands of human bodies that were donated as cadavers measuring their height and body weight in relation to the pressure that was being applied on their organs.
On the other hand, the ever growing popular body fat percentage collectively conjoins muscle, bones, and visceral tissue and separating it from adipose tissue.
There are pros and cons of both methods.

4.2 quake, 2nd in 2 days, hits Sonoma County north of Healdsburg
A 4.2 magnitude earthquake hit about 13 miles north of Healdsburg shortly after noon Sunday. It was the second quake in that part of Sonoma County this weekend.
Sunday's quake in the Geysers area struck at 12:34 p.m. The earlier 3.7 magnitude quake struck on Saturday at 7:05 a.m. and was centered 3 miles northwest of the second quake, according to the United States Geological Survey.
No damages have been reported in either temblor.
The quake on Sunday was located near 22 geothermal power plants, the largest geothermal field in the world. Power from the Geysers supplies electricity for Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, with additional power going to parts of Napa and Marin counties.

GYMNOSOPHY: Our word gymnasium comes from a Greek noun meaning "place to be naked." The adjective was gymnos, "naked." In the early 20th century, the term gymnosophy was appropriated by several groups to denote a broad philosophy that promoted as an essential principle that the nude human body was a natural condition and should be normalized for the betterment of society.
This series of portraits was made during a ten-day stay at a naturists' community in Ontario, Canada. I comingle aesthetics and techniques associated with both journalism and formal portraiture to capture authentic, narrative images of this culture.

Hip Hop News - Last night T-Pain and his bodyguard were arrested at an Atlanta airport for trying to smuggle a gun through the security checkpoint. According to an Atlanta newspaper, T-Pain's bodyguard was carrying the gun to protect the singer, the huge problem was that T-Pain's bodyguard doesn't have a license to carry a gun.

With an inclement weather forecast of heavy showers and gusty winds Clive and Rachel quickly changed their planned walk at Pontneddfechan in celebration of Rachel's 50th birthday, for a local walk beginning from Castell Coch and as luck would have it they could not have made a better choice with only one shower of rain to contend with during the whole walk.
The fairy tale 19th century red castle with its three green-coloured conical towers dominates the hillside above the Taff gorge as a well-known and loved landmark. Designed by William Burges with a medieval theme as it has a working portcullis and a drawbridge, Burges died before the castle was completed and in actual fact the 3rd Marquess of Bute for whom it was rebuilt never used it as a family home.
This beautiful setting was the backdrop as a birthday cake, baked by Clive and enriched with brandy, was cut by the birthday girl and handed out to their fourteen companions before the walk began as a treat to nibble later on.
Climbing uphill through the ancient broad-leaved woodland of Fforest-fawr which surrounds the castle, with the pungent smell of wild garlic contrasting with the sweet aroma of the native bluebells adorning the hillside, the group joined part of the Taff Trail that was opened in September 1988.
Heading downhill then along the disused Taff Vale railway line a shower of rain began to fall. Following a wet muddy narrow track uphill through the trees, they tramped the zig zag path to join the Ridgeway Walk on Craig yr Allt which stands at 896-feet above sea level. Their reward was splendid views of Garth Hill; Taff's Well and Gwaelod-y-Garth with the River Taff snaking its way through the valley below.
As the rain stopped the breeze soon dried outer clothing and remaining on a path lower than the summit, the group headed downhill to the road meeting several young scouts carrying huge rucksacks whilst brushing up navigation skills with their leaders.
Following the road downhill, morning coffee and cake was enjoyed beside the Nant Felen brook, before a climb uphill through muddy fields containing horses who just ignored everyone. Exiting onto a road a climb up an old sunken lane followed which led to the Watford Road.
With skylarks singing overhead and carefully avoiding the shiny black beetles on the narrow path under their boots, they climbed to the windy trig point on Caerphilly Common enjoying clear views over Caerphilly and up through the Afan and Rhymney valleys.
After a short pause at Caerphilly Mountain Snack Bar, they crossed the road to enter fields below the golf course and passing through a field full of sheep and lambs headed down to the ruined buildings at Cefncarnau-fawr. Slippery narrow downhill paths in woodland, the floor of which was completely smothered in bluebells and wild garlic, led to a field below Bwlch-y-cwm for a well-deserved lunch break.
Although skies above did cloud over, no rain fell as the group followed a wide track to join the road at Rhiwbina Hill and after a short piece of road-walking climbed up ancient woodland pathways through Fforestganol, which is owned and managed by Cardiff Council.
Descending to cross a footbridge over the Nant Fforest brook, then a road, the path took them uphill into Fforest-fawr behind the newly upgraded Forest Tea Room with its welcoming fire inside. This mixed woodland is open access land, run by the Forestry Commission and has a series of pedestrian and horse routes which are way-marked, as well as a sculpture trail and has often been used as a film location.
Pretty woodland paths where the trees are coming into leaf more each day eventually led downhill and joining the bottom of the main drive to Castell Coch a short steep climb led back to the start.
Then to round off the day and in order to toast the birthday girl the hospitality of the Lewis Arms in Tongwynlais was much appreciated.

How to Take Care of Mini Pine Trees
The mini pine, or pine bonsai, is a natural pine tree cultivated to grow smaller than its natural height and width. When carefully cultivated, the entire tree, including its pine needles, are proportionate in size.
Although some aspects of the mini pine's care are similar to the natural sized pine tree, certain aspects, which are different, are required to maintain the mini pine's healthy growth.
Select a well-drained potting container for the pine bonsai. Choose a container with a depth that is equivalent to the trunk's diameter and one- to two-thirds the tree's height. Elect rot-resistant wood or clay containers over plastic ones, as pine bonsais prefer drier soils over moist ones.
Plant the young pine bonsai in nutrient rich, loamy soil. Prepare the soil by combining equal amounts of nutrient-rich soil, pine bark compost, and peat moss. Incorporate the ingredients thoroughly. Line the bottom of the container with a layer of soil and position the mini pine in the center of the container. Fill the container with soil, pressing just firmly enough to secure the bonsai's upright position.
Water the pine bonsai thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the tree to dry out completely in between watering. Check the soil's moisture by placing your finger 1 to 2 inches into the soil, near the roots. Water the pine bonsai only when the soil feels completely dry. Use tepid water to irrigate the tree until the excess water begins to exit the bottom of the container.
Situate the pine bonsai in a warm location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of full sunlight each day. Keep it away from areas with direct heat, such as heating vents and grills.
Feed the pine bonsai in the early spring. Select a well-balanced, slow release fertilizer such as a 10-10-10. Distribute the fertilizer evenly throughout the container at half strength. Water the fertilizer thoroughly into the soil. Allow the excess water to run from the drainage system.
Prune the pine bonsai annually, just before the onset of its growing season. Trim back the branches and stems to develop the desired shape and size. Be conservative with the amount of reduction. Develop the shape gradually over the course of several years.
Change the natural shape of the pine bonsai by wiring the trunk and branches. Complete the wiring process after the end of the growing season and immediately after the annual pruning. Use thin, cooper wire that is approximately one-third the thickness of the branch or trunk to be wired. Apply the wire from the base of the branch to its tip. Wrap the wire in a circular motion around the branch, at a 45-degree angle. If wiring the entire tree, complete the trunk first, then primary branches, followed by secondary branches.

submit table data
i want to submit the rows of data as an array when i submit the form. the columns would have to be inputs.
how do i define the columns as input for dynamic table so the will be in form post?

Hi @mikeD123 ,
Is this using Editor? If not, we're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.
i am not using editor. i just want to have my table rows in my form data when i click submit. i see examples but they all have the TDs in the html.
since table is built dynamically i wanted to know if there was a column type i could set so the column would have Input tag so it is selected with form.
do i need editor to have TDs contain inputs, or is there another way to have rows in form data?
kthorngren Posts: 9,381Questions: 25Answers: 2,155
You can render the input html using
columns.render. The docs have some examples showing links but the same concept applies.
When you submit the for you will use jQuery ajax to send the update to the server. I would recommend similar behavior as Editor in that the response contain the updated DB data then update the Datatable row with the response data. This way you know the Datatable data and the DB match. How you implement this is up to you as it is outside of Datatables.

The partnership between Cummins and Car & General (C&G), to be known as Cummins C&G Limited, will be fully operational in April 2017. The new company's region of responsibility will cover Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia and Seychelles. East Africa, one of the faster-growing regions in the world, with an expected GDP growth rate of 6% over the next five years, represents a strategic growth opportunity. The new partnership will consolidate the sales, service, and support of Cummins products in East Africa. Car & General was first appointed as an approved distributor of power generation products in 2006. The company leveraged its existing network to establish a strong presence in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, gaining over 15% market share in the genset sector. Consequently, Car & General was soon awarded distribution rights for the full range of products and services.

CLASS allows us to quantify the quality of teacher-child interactions—and that is a powerful thing. But improving child outcomes takes more than just data collection; it's what you do with the data that really matters.
Here are 4 things you should know about using data to improve student outcomes.
During my time at Teachstone, I've seen too many programs use CLASS observation data solely to provide summative feedback. Although this is certainly a valid use of data, the most successful coaches I've spoken with use CLASS data to provide individualized, formative feedback to teachers. They also use that data to determine what sorts of professional development will be most relevant and impactful to individual teachers. Of course, scheduling regular CLASS observations at the individual teacher level can be both time and cost prohibitive, which leads me to my next point ...
It is critical to establish a systematic cycle for teacher improvement throughout the year in order to achieve incremental gains. We recommend conducting regular observations that will inform coaching and professional development. Generally, the more formal observations a program conducts, the better.
But less formal, anecdotal observations are important, too! Coaches collect anecdotal observation notes in many ways. For example, a coach might offer to watch a particular lesson for the teacher's use of Language Modeling. For the teacher, this provides an objective, specific, and detailed account of her interactions in this dimension (without the added stress of being assigned a score). This also allows the coach to better provide individualized support.
Let's be honest—if you're trying to establish a supportive, coaching relationship with a teacher, that's going to be really difficult if you're also planning to use their observation data as a "gotcha" measure or to call out their "problem areas." When using CLASS data in a formative way—to differentiate support, goals, and professional development plans—it must be associated with achievement, rather than punishment.
The best data tells a story—and when it comes to CLASS data—that is the story of improving interactions, and ultimately, outcomes for children. While data can be used at the individual teacher level to differentiate coaching and professional development, administrators also have stories to tell. For example, how has our new coaching initiative impacted CLASS scores over time? Who are the standout teachers in my organization? How well are we achieving our goals this year?
Data is a critical tool from the individual teacher level all the way to highest levels of our educational leadership. Collecting data is helpful but it's even better when it's used to inform professional development for teachers. Check out our CLASS Data Collection webinar series where we discuss developing and setting up a data collection system, and best practices for reporting data.
Editor's note: This post was originally published in November 2017 and has been updated for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority. -Ken Blanchard
There's a powerful shift happening in early childhood classrooms across Louisiana. While education leaders across the country have visions of bringing high-quality, impactful interactions to all of their students, leaders in Louisiana have taken deliberate steps to turn their vision into a reality.
It's been a great year. You have just conducted some professional development trainings for the group of teachers you are coaching. You got the opportunity to visit their classrooms and see them in action, do formal and informal CLASS observations, and had countless coaching conversations. You see that it's all beginning to click. You have the teachers' buy-in, and the motivation is high.

Implementing a tiered methodology for pipeline integrity significantly improves business' chances of preventing leaks
With pipeline operators facing increased scrutiny as of late, the conversation must shift to pipeline integrity. Pipeline integrity encompasses three methods: prevention, detection, and mitigation, which together minimize the chances of a gas leak and the ensuing repercussions.
Prevention is the first and foremost strategy when it comes to pipelines. As they say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." A critical strategy in pipeline integrity, prevention can be split into three subcategories:
- Design and construction
- Operation and maintenance
- Training and education
If prevention methods are compromised, the next stage, detection, becomes priority. Varieties of detection methods are possible, but they can be easily divided into two different approaches: internal and external detection.
The external process involves examining the surrounding area of the pipeline for any signs of a gas leak. The external method of detection continues to be popular due to its accuracy in locating pipeline leaks – even those that are smaller in size. The internal approach to leak detection focuses on the conditions inside of the pipeline.
Mitigation is the final of the three phases, consisting of efforts to minimize the impact and damage in the event a leak does occur. Unfortunately, as we all know, leaks do still alarmingly occur and when they do a fast moving mitigation plan is essential to avoid environmental disturbances as well as costly clean-up.
While pipeline integrity can seem daunting, it is not something to dread if you take proper precautions. Implementing a tiered methodology for pipeline integrity significantly improves business' chances of preventing leaks from appearing in the first place as well as the probability of detecting leaks. A streamlined approach to pipeline integrity affords pipeline companies a peace of mind that would otherwise not be present in a world where gas leaks are always a possibility.
By putting effort into the three tiers of pipeline integrity, operators will continue to reap the benefits of the best practices for leak detection – strong company reputation, avoided clean-up costs and minimized environmental impact.

'Wet Hot American Summer' Sequel Cast Confirmed And First Photos Revealed
Every once in a while, something extraordinary comes about that is worthy of great celebration. In 2001, that something extraordinary was Wet Hot American Summer, written by famously oddball friends Michael Showalter and David Wain and directed by the latter who also gave the world Role Models and Wanderlust. And now after 15 years, the crazy councilors and staff over at the notorious Camp Firewood – all played by the first film's original cast who all happen to be hugely famous – are getting another moment in the sun in the Netflix series Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.
While the original film focused on just a single day at summer camp, the series will take place two weeks before the film's events. The show brings back Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Molly Shannon, Amy Poehler, Janeane Garofalo, Ken Marino, Christopher Meloni, and three-time Oscar-nominee Bradley Cooper. So are you absolutely bursting to see a bunch of forty and fifty-somethings playing a bunch of weird teenage camp councilors? Well, even if you aren't, brace yourself, because they are coming. First Day of Camp arrives on Netflix on July 31st.

If you're reading this and speak or read Spanish, you're far more intelligent than me because I don't understand two languages and barely understand my native one. Also, you'll be happy to note that Black Desert Online Spanish language support is on the way.
BDO currently has support for English, German, and French, but will soon be including Spanish in order to open the game up to players in the US, Mexico, and Spain. The intention, naturally, is to get more people in the West playing as well as to meet the demand of players looking for additional supported languages.
In order to speed along the localization, Kakao Games is taking on additional help for the localization department as well as adding new community managers. In the near future, Black Desert Online will also have Spanish-speaking GMs as part of its customer support crew.
Work on adding Spanish language support is currently underway and is expected to arrive to Western players sometime before the end of the first half of 2018.
Our Thoughts
Obviously, this is good news for the game overall as well as for those who are native Spanish speakers. Granting access to Black Desert Online to more players is most definitely a positive move and we hope that players in Spanish speaking countries enjoy the game, or enjoy the game more after the localization if they're playing already.
