According to the Pew Research Center, one out of every four babies born in the United States is of Hispanic descent; one in every five schoolchildren is Latino. "Never before has a minority ethnic group made up so large a share of the youngest Americans," the center reported. So FleishmanHillard TRUE decided to ask Linda Gonzalez, the chair-elect of AHAA: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing, about the growing importance of the Hispanic millennial, the fastest growing segment of the next great consumer demographic.
TRUE: If you're a brand, why should you focus on Hispanic millennials?Gonzalez: Take a city like Los Angeles. If you're targeting the millennial market there, you'd better make sure you are focusing on the Hispanic millennial because their millennial population is more than 50 percent Hispanic. You have similar breakdowns in cities like New York, Miami and Chicago. And it's the fastest growing consumer market segment. Every 30 seconds, a Latino turns 18, meaning an average of 904,000 Hispanics will turn 18 every year from now until 2028.
The Hispanic population is the largest and youngest minority group in America. So the future for brands is in that population. Brands like Wal-Mart and McDonald's recognized that a couple of decades ago, but even they have been steadily improving their game when it comes to engaging the community. As the non-Hispanic white population is getting older and older, Hispanics are just entering their greatest consumer spending years, having babies, starting careers, so no brand, particularly a consumer product brand, can deny that they need the Latino dollar these days.
When I first opened my agency 18 years ago, we couldn't even get near the C-suite to talk about the Hispanic market opportunity. We would get to talk to some low-level brand guys if we were lucky. We were still at the begging and pleading stage when it came to paying attention to the Hispanic community. Even now, you still see brands just translating a marketing message they used for the non-Hispanic population and thinking if it's in Spanish then that's good enough. But that's not going to resonate authentically with most Hispanics: There are subtle cultural cues that relate directly to Hispanics that non-Hispanics would not even notice. For example, how people react and interact with one another in a TV spot. Hispanics tend to speak with one another within several inches while non-Hispanic Anglos keep a distance of three feet or so. Communication is much more than what language is used. But these days, the C-suite is definitely paying attention.
TRUE: When did you first start feeling this recognition of the importance of the community?
Gonzalez: When the 2010 census came out. That made a huge impact; you need only compare 2000 and 2010, and look at the projections. The U.S. is becoming a nation of people of color, and the fastest growing segment is Hispanic. I think that opened some eyes.
TRUE: How important is social media when trying to reach the Hispanic community? How active is the Hispanic community in general on social, and in particular, how much is that driven by Hispanic millennials?
Gonzalez: Social media is critical when trying to engage this community. Hispanic Americans over-index the general market considerably when it comes to social media use. They are the most engaged audience in this country. Culturally, it makes sense. Hispanics are natural communicators and have larger social communities – so we have a lot of people to communicate with. Our immediate families tend to be larger, and then our extended families include lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. We celebrate everything with all of them – birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries and more. Most of us have family and close friends living in Latin America as well, which makes Facebook and Twitter good ways to stay in touch and up to date.
Of course, Hispanic millennials, like other millennials who grew up with technology, are social media natives. The typical Hispanic social user, in fact, is somewhere between 18 and 34. And this cuts across all the groups within the Hispanic community — Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, etc.
Hispanic millennials using social probably skew female. They also tend to be bilingual and came to the U.S. at a young age or were born here. They're seeking a voice, a bilingual voice, and you will find them blogging a lot. For instance, you saw the power of social in the Hispanic community when immigration reform became a trending issue a year or so ago. All the commentary around immigration reform helped unify and engage the community on the subject. Much of that came from young Hispanics who worry about parents being deported or parents of their friends. It is an issue that really resonates in that demographic.
TRUE: You talk about a bilingual voice. On social, are Hispanics usually participating in English or Spanish?
Gonzalez: If you look at Latino blogs, you'll see a great mix. About 38 percent of Hispanic adults are Spanish-language dominant or Spanish-language preferred, and then there's another 30-something percent that's bilingual, and then the rest speak English as their primary language. On Twitter and Facebook, you'll see people going back and forth, and a comfortable use of Spanglish, too. Hispanic millennials tend to speak English, and some aren't even fully fluent in Spanish, but they all know the necessary jargon, and you'll see their postings sprinkled with Spanish words and Spanglish. For them, it's another way they live their culture.
TRUE: How do Hispanic millennials differ from other millennials?
Gonzalez: Well, I think it goes back to that bilingual voice they are looking for. While they speak English, they are very tied to their Hispanic culture. They identify as Hispanics. Part of that is because many of them live in Hispanic neighborhoods, still live at home with their parents and often stay until they get married. It's not just a few; statistically as many as half of unmarried Hispanic millennials are living at home. Hispanic millennials live with their parents because it is culturally acceptable and expected.
I love the Hispanic millennial's outlook on life because they're so distinctly positive. They look forward to the future; they're happy about their lives. They celebrate everything from birthdays, to baptisms, to grades — you name it. And even as they are very much into traditional culture, they're also very trendy. So they're very much into the culture of now and the "Hispanic trinity" of food, family and music.
You can throw sports in there, too. But it's not all about soccer the way many people think. Sure, around the World Cup maybe. But only one-third of Hispanic millennials are into soccer. Many love baseball, too, which of course is very big in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Cuba.
TRUE: You bring up an interesting point. The Hispanic community is not a monolith. It is made up of so many different cultures with one unifying element: They all come from or are descendants of natives of Spanish-speaking cultures. How sensitive are brands to those differences?
Gonzalez: Well, there's no easy answer there. Companies like Wal-Mart recognize in their marketing that their Hispanic customers are mostly Mexican American. It's subtle, but there are choices you make in the music you would pick or the holidays or foods you would celebrate. It would be different for a company with mostly an East Coast Hispanic population, where you are apt to have higher percentage of Hispanics from the Caribbean. How broad is this segmentation? At this point, not very, but it's something that companies that want to establish themselves as part of the Hispanic community need to understand.
TRUE: Before you mentioned the recent immigration reform effort. How much have, or should, brands try to incorporate that into their marketing?
Gonzalez: I haven't heard of any brands trying to get involved. Companies tend to lean Republican, and the Republicans have not been very sensitive to the immigration cause. So I am not expecting to see much. Most Hispanics, except Cubans, tend to be Democrats.
For Hispanic millennials, immigration reform is a big issue and close to their hearts. They fear losing parents to deportation; they know people who live in fear every day of being discovered even though they are hard-working contributors to the economy. For Mexican Americans and those from Central and South America, it is a huge issue. But I haven't heard from companies about it, and I don't expect to.
TRUE: Are they missing an opportunity?
Gonzalez: Perhaps. But as we've seen, it's a divisive topic.

Uniqlo More Profitable Overseas Than in Japan
Parent company Fast Retailing posted record-breaking Q1 sales.
Uniqlo parent company Fast Retailing Co. Ltd. posted all-time high Q1 profits, thanks to Uniqlo's explosive international growth and respectable domestic profit.
The Japanese company's operating profits totaled ¥113.9 billion JPY (approximately $1.02 billion USD), nearly ¥30 billion JPY ($269 million USD) higher than the previous year's take. Uniqlo was the star performer in Fast Retailing's stable of brands, which includes Theory, J Brand and Japanese chain GU, boasting 54.7% growth in overseas operating profits and an 18.6% rise in Japan as international profits overtake domestic income for the first time. As more Uniqlo stores outside of Japan crop up, the number at home remains unchanged, as the brand seeks to boost profits through improved online traffic and an overhauled distribution network.
Opening more stores overseas remains high on Uniqlo's to-do list, as the brand aims to host over 1,000 stores in China by 2021, with nearly 600 currently open. While Uniqlo aims to increase its physical presence, competitor H&M is diversifying, rolling out a new "affordable luxury brand" later this year.

Annal: 2006 Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry
Results of the Governor General's Literary Award in the year 2006.
Stumbling in the Bloom
The poems in Stumbling in the Bloom engage the ever-present enticements and entanglements of beauty on life's, and art's home ground—in wilderness and garden. But this surprising volume, the finale of John Pass's quartet of poetry books, At Large, takes intriguing side trips on the home-stretch, including a singularly moving Canadian journey towards and away from the "ground zero" of the 9/11 tragedy. The book, and Pass's aesthetic, come to rest finally on a fulcrum of acceptance: the embrace of uncertainty and (un)happy accident that purpose and effort alone make possible.
- 2006 Governor General's winner

If you're looking to emigrate to Australia from the UK, then you're in good company. More than ever before, we Britons are electing to up sticks and travel down under in search of sunshine and new experiences. The country offers a perfect blend of strangeness and familiarity, which makes it irresistible to would-be immigrants from all across the globe.
And this isn't just a recent development, either – human beings have travelled to, and settled, this part of the world for more than fifty thousand years. Let's consider what the first of these settlements might have looked like.
Where did Aborigines come from?
As almost everyone knows, the first European settlers arrived in Australia to find that they weren't the first to do so. There already existed large numbers of indigenous people, and the conflicts between the two groups would characterise the subsequent history of this part of the world.
But Aborigines did not evolve in this part of the world, completely independently of the rest of humankind. Had they done so, they would almost certainly be completely dissimilar to the settlers they encountered. Instead, they were descendants of the real first human settlers in Australia, who arrived from Africa some forty to seventy thousand years prior.
How did settlers cross the sea?
This raises an obvious and worthwhile question: how did people cross the sea from Africa to Australia so long ago? It took later settlers a great deal of hardship and technology to make the trip – not to mention the vast resources that come only with the backing of an Empire. How could people have done so thousands and thousands of years ago, before compasses, maps, sails and even writing came to be?
The answer is that they mostly walked. Settlers from Africa spread northward through Arabia, and then across Asia and then south through what we now call the Sunda Islands of Malaysia and Indonesia. During this period in history, sea levels were far lower than they now are, and so stretches of land which are now submerged were open and walkable.
The largest obstacle that such a trip would encounter would come right at the end, in the form of the Timor Sea, which sits just between Indonesia and the north coast of Western Australia. This sea is currently hundreds of miles wide, but it is quite shallow – and so it's likely that it would have been navigable all of those years ago, when the sea levels were lower.
Why did settlement stop?
This leads us to another question. If people were migrating to this part of the world so long ago, why did they cease to do so? The answer lies in geography. With sea levels gradually rising every year, the voyage across the Timor Sea would have become gradually more difficult. This change came about some ten thousand years ago, at the end of the last glacial period. Aboriginal people would thus have developed and evolved separately to the rest of the world for around for tens of thousands of years, developing their own unique culture and language in the process.
What's happened since then?
These migrants weren't the only new arrivals to the continent in the time before Captain Cook first made landfall. Recent DNA evidence has suggested that many migrants from India arrived in Australia some four-thousand years ago. It squashes the theory that the continent was entirely isolated from civilisation throughout the years before European contact. Today, around ten percent of aboriginal DNA is thought to be traceable back to these settlers from India. One interesting conclusion drawn by the study is that the arrival of these new settlers coincided neatly with the first fossil records of the Dingo – leading to the inescapable conclusion that the dingo is descended from a domestic dog introduced by these immigrants, which adapted to the new environment and became part of the ecosystem. New forms of technology and tools also appear during this era, suggesting that this influx of migrants contributed a great deal to life for Australia's indigenous people.
In Conclusion
If you're looking to make the switch to life down under, then you'll be in good company. Australia isn't just attractive to modern-day immigrants; it's attracted new arrivals for thousands of years. With so many jobs in Australia for UK citizens on offer, you're sure to contribute to Australia in much the same way that those very early settlers did. So what are you waiting for? It's time to plan the next phase of your life.

The future for U.S. renewables is very bright with or without the EPA's carbon pollution standards for existing power plants, a new analysis finds.
Last month, I reported on a study that found the future for U.S. renewable energy is very bright because of the combination of the EPA's Clean Power Plan (CPP) and the budget deal extending key solar and wind tax credits (the ITC and PTC). That study by the Rhodium Group found that the boost to renewables from those two policies together is large enough to wipe out the natural gas renaissance that had been recently brought on by cheap shale gas.
Absent the budget deal, compliance with EPA's Clean Power Plan would have largely been met by natural gas generation replacing coal (chart on left). But thanks to the extension of renewable energy tax credits, gas will play a far more limited role, and renewables will replace coal (chart on right).
But now the Supreme Court has issued a "stay" on the CPP, delaying it for the foreseeable future. So Rhodium examined what happens to renewables in the no-CPP case. Let me note it is still very possible if not likely that the CPP will ultimately be enacted, especially given the recent passing of conservative Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, historically a reliable anti-environmental vote.
In fact, it's not clear the CPP is even needed to achieve the coal plant retirements required for the U.S. to achieve its part of the Paris climate deal, a 26 to 28 percent reduction in carbon pollution by 2025 versus 2005 levels.
But the Rhodium analysis is worth examining because it appears to be the first of its kind and because some in the media are already misreporting its basic conclusion. For instance, Politico's "Morning Energy" blasts the headline "WITHOUT CLEAN POWER PLAN, ITC AND PTC ARE BRIDGES TO NOWHERE" and begins "Up to 50 gigawatts of wind and solar installations might not happen if courts ultimately overturn the Clean Power Plan, the Rhodium Group said in a report released today."
No and no. The report itself concludes, "in all but the low gas price case, the future is bright for wind and solar." It's true that without the CPP, there might be up to 50 gigawatts less renewable capacity than Rhodium previously forecasted. But, more importantly, it's also true that in the most probable of Rhodium's new scenarios (low gas prices AND low renewable prices), there are actually 20 gigawatts more renewables without the CPP than Rhodium forecast last month with the CPP!

The TPC held a General Council meeting
on April 22nd in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The main
focus of the work was on refining existing benchmarks and
for new benchmarks. On the OLTP front,
work continues on the
new TPC-E specification with a focus on putting in place
baseline functionality. The TPC-C benchmark
has updated to Version 5.3.
With respect to decision support, progress continues on
new DS
benchmark metrics and schema. The TPC-H
and TPC-R benchmarks are addressing
issues with the random number generator. As for the transactional
web e-Commerce benchmark,
work continues on addressing the comments that were received
on the TPC-W Version
2 draft specification. Similarly, the Pricing Subcommittee
continues to review and address comments submitted
on the draft Pricing Specification.
The TPC-C Maintenance Subcommittee
completed work on Version 5.3 of the TPC-C Specification.
This version is effective immediately and will be required
as of June 21, 2004. The changes in Version 5.3 are:
Results obtained with TPC-C Version 5.3 are
comparable with those obtained with TPC-C Version 5.2.
The TPC-H/R subcommittees
addressed issues with the new 64-bit data generator for scale
factors larger than 10,000 Terabytes. A plan to quickly verify
data sets was adopted. The data generator will be released
to the public as soon as the issues are resolved, with a
likely release in June 2004.
Over the past two months, the TPC-E subcommittee has continued its efforts
in the development of a new OLTP benchmark. Code to be provided
by the TPC to test sponsors continues to be developed. Recent
focus has been on
getting baseline functionality in place for loading the database.
A new draft version of the benchmark specification has been
approved. The work
for the next draft of the specification is focused on clarification
and refinement of the transaction profiles. Prototype benchmark
kits are being developed, and the subcommittee is collecting
and reviewing preliminary data.
Work moving forward will include
further development of the source code to be provided by
the TPC, benchmark specification development,
and the collection and analysis of more prototype data.
The TPC-DS subcommittee continued
its work on developing TPC-DS in the areas of queries, data
and schema. The current data generator was advanced to generate
data in parallel. Bugs found by members were addressed and
the subcommittee decided to move to weekly drops to accelerate
development time.
A proposal to reduce the schema to speed up benchmark
development time was made. However, the subcommittee felt
that the rich
schema is needed to assure that auxiliary data structures
are accounted for appropriately.
Reviewing the existing query
set the subcommittee increased the number of ubertemplates
by 31 to a total of 53. In preparation
to generate prototype data the subcommittee expanded 31
ubertemplates to 93 queries. This brings the total number
of queries to
159. Contingent on solving compilation issues with dbgen,
the following
companies promised to deliver prototype data for all 159
queries by the next meeting in June 2004: HP, Sun, Unisys,
Oracle and IBM. The prototype data includes building a
100GB database, investigating query results and presenting
elapsed times for all queries.
Going forward the group
is evaluating the existing queries to finalize the query
and reviewing
the data maintenance functions to be able to perform
full benchmark runs. This is necessary to make a final decision
on the metric.
TPC-W Version 2 is currently reviewing the comments received
during the public review phase. TPC-W Version 2 is a web
service benchmark consisting of transactions involving
database interactions, durable message queue operations,
and displaying ACID properties running against a commercial
application server. The primary metrics are SIPS (Service
Interactions Per Second), Price Performance which is, for
example $/SIPS, and the system availability date.
The subcommittee
received numerous comments on the TPC-W V2 draft specification.
The majority of comments were of
an editorial nature. Several terms and definitions used
throughout the specification were clarified and their
use is now consistent. Minor changes in web service interaction
requirements were made to better reflect the business
portrayed. Some modifications to the schema and processing
definitions were made to facilitate ease of benchmarking
and auditing.
The subcommittee is reviewing suggestions
to incorporate a mechanism that provides vendors the
capability to publish
clustered or non-clustered versions of the benchmark.
Currently the benchmark only allows the use of a single
server system. Additionally the subcommittee is finalizing
wording on rules regarding caching of durable data.
subcommittee will address the remaining questions and
comments received. The subcommittee expects to
have all
comments and issues addressed and will present the
final draft specification for company vote in June
The PR Committee continues its work on the campaign to promote
the TPC and the TPC benchmarks to the industry. A successful
press and analyst tour was staged in the San Francisco Bay
York, and Boston the week of March 29- April 2. The briefings
were conducted to update editors and analysts on the progress
the TPC has made over the past year.
The TPC Price Subcommittee has drafted a pricing specification
that can be applied to all TPC benchmarks. The specification
does not substantially change what is priced, but the requirements
for reporting and ordering are enhanced and strengthened,
allowing improved verifiability of pricing. If approved,
the pricing specification will be referenced by all existing
and future TPC specifications for a consistent methodology.
The draft TPC pricing specification was made available for
both public and member company review in January and February
of 2004. The Price Subcommittee has been making
progress in addressing the comments that were received.

Compressed Air Contamination
The contamination of compressed air is a significant issue for the manufacturing processes that rely on it. Regardless of whether the compressed air actually comes into direct contact with the product, a clean, dry and reliable supply is essential in order to keep production running efficiently with minimal downtime.
If contamination is not prevented or reduced, it can cause a range of problems in the compressed air system, including:
- Microbiological contamination
- Corrosion within storage vessels and the distribution system
- Damaged production equipment
- Blocked or frozen valves, cylinders, air motors and tools
- Premature unplanned desiccant changes for adsorption dryers
These can ultimately lead to:
- Inefficient production processes
- Spoiled, damaged or reworked products
- Reduced production efficiency
- Increased manufacturing costs
Allowing contamination to exhaust from valves can also lead to an unhealthy working environment, increasing the potential for personal injury, staff absences and financial compensation claims.
At Parker, we understand that the ten key contaminants come from four different sources – ambient atmospheric air, the air compressor, the air receiver (storage devices) and distribution piping. This has enabled us to develop solutions to support an efficient compressed air system, and provide the consumer with a safe and cost effective production facility.
Compressed Air Contamination And Its Sources
Ambient Atmospheric AirAmbient atmospheric air is drawn in by air compressors in vast quantities, meaning contaminants are constantly introduced into the system.
Learn More
Air CompressorThe compressor draws contaminants in, adds additional contaminants from its operation and produces contaminants in the compression process.
Learn More
Air ReceiverContaminants from air leaving the compressor can become deposited in the air receiver and additional contaminants can be generated.
Learn More
Distribution PipingContaminants from air exiting the compressor can become stored in the distribution piping and the cooling process can introduce further contaminants.

We rejoice in the hope we have in Christ "and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit" (Romans 5:5, ESV). What a precious promise!

The Fall Cup Duel Project (unnamed in the English dub) was a Duel Monsters tournament, organized by Maximillion Pegasus, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.
The grand prize was the Field Spell Card "Golden Castle of Stromberg", which was developed for test purposes and never officially released. As there was only ever one copy, "Golden Castle of Stromberg" became sought after by many collectors. At some point, the influential Schroeder family was able to acquire the card. During the Grand Championship, Zigfried von Schroeder hacked into KaibaCorp's Duel Computer Limiter so that "Golden Castle of Stromberg" would be recognized as a legal card, and had said card modified so that when his brother Leon played it in his Duel with Yugi Muto, a computer virus would infect KaibaCorp's mainframe and delete all of the company's data in Duel Monsters, as part of Zigfried's plot to exact revenge on Seto Kaiba.

2 Sisters Food Group founder returns to take control of poultry division
2 Sisters Food Group, which provides about a third of chicken to supermarkets in the United Kingdom, has welcomed back its billionaire founder Ranjit Singh Boparan after he stepped down less than two years ago due to a food standards scandal, The Guardian reported.
Boparan will take over day-to-day control of his business' poultry division from Andrew McInnes. He reportedly grew frustrated at the slow progress as McInnes attempted to improve his division of 2 Sisters. The group is attempting to concentrate solely on poultry by selling its other food brands such as Fox's biscuits.
In February last year, Boparan had to stepped down from running the food group following am investigation by journalists which raised questions over 2 Sisters' food standards. The investigation prompted the company to stop production at its West Bromwich chicken plant for five weeks in order to deal with the problems.
Two years ago, undercover footage shot by the Guardian and ITV News at 2 Sisters' West Bromwich chicken plant showed poultry being dropped on the floor and returned to the production line, as well as an instance of labels recording the slaughter dates of birds being changed.
Boparan was called to appear in front of a parliamentary select committee, which concluded the problems identified at the West Bromwich site were "not a one-off" and raised concern at the "apparent laxity of the oversight" at the plant.
A resulting investigation into 2 Sisters by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) highlighted "several process weaknesses and regulatory failures".
Since the revelations, the business has struggled to turn a profit. In its most recent full-year results to July 2018, 2 Sisters made sales of £1.1 billion (US$1.4 billion) and a pretax loss of nearly £89 million (US$114 million), up from £38 million (US$48.6 million) in the previous year.
While Boparan is officially said to have returned as managing director of poultry on a caretaker basis, company insiders suggested the entrepreneur may be back in charge of running the group's largest business for good.
The management changes, first reported by Sky News, mean Boparan, as poultry managing director, will effectively report to Ronald Kers, the group's chief executive.
Kers in turn reports to Boparan, as the co-owner of 2 Sisters.

Welcome Vending LTD was formed in 1999 by Gary Dinsdale, who after several years experience with major vending companies believed that businesses within the north east region deserved a far better quality of service. Realistically this could only be provided by small to medium sized vending operators with a more tailored and personal service.
For example...
• Each route operator is responsible for all machines on their route and all products within the
machines. This ensures that the vendors are not overfilled with less popular items and enables Welcome Vending to operate a rotation policy on a weekly basis which promotes a greater level of satisfaction with our customers.
• We are not tied to product suppliers ie nestle, walkers etc unlike larger vending companies who are given an annual bonus on sales which benefits only themselves and not the customer.
• We guarantee a 1 hour technical call out service with 2013 averaging 37 minutes from receipt of call to attending site.
• All calls are channelled through the founder and company director Gary Dinsdale on 07967-832066 (this contact number has never changed since the company was established) ...no impersonal telephone messaging services which are often time consuming when attempting to make contact with the appropriate department.
• Our prompt installation service ensures that in most cases we can install equipment within 48 hours of initial contact.
• We pride ourselves on offering some of the lowest vend prices in the north east and we will guarantee no price increase for the first 24 months of any agreement.
• Part of the profits generated through sales are donated to the Trewan Sands Childrens trust to aid terminally ill and sick children across the United Kingdom information on which can be found at www.tsctrust.org.
Due to expansion we have now moved to a 3000sq ft unit

Central Bedfordshire Council provides a range of public services, such as: maintaining roads and pavements, refuse collection and recycling, libraries, leisure services and support services for old people, vulnerable adults and children.
The decision the council will make about funding of local services when it sets its budget for the next financial year (April 2016 – March 2017), will affect everyone, so they are seeking views on their spending plans. Everyone is invited to share their views on the proposed budget by responding to this survey by Monday, 8th February 2016.
The Parish Council have received a small number of survey forms which will be made available in The Plough Inn and the Queen's Head (ask at the bar). However, you can view the full budget proposals and complete the survey online at: www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/budget2016.
This is your opportunity to voice your opinion on the future budget plans of Central Beds Council, so we encourage you to complete the survey now. And if you know of someone that cannot complete it online, please make them aware of the availability of the forms in the pubs in the parish (or even take one round for them) – they are freepost so will cost nothing to complete.

Nadine Akkerman: Invisible Agents Women and Espionage in Seventeenth-Century Britain
A compelling history of women in seventeenth century espionage, telling the forgotten tales of women from all walks of life who acted as spies in early modern Britain.
Nadine Akkerman has immersed herself in archives and letter collections, acting as a modern-day Spymistress to unearth plots and conspiracies that have long been hidden by history.
It would be easy for the modern reader to conclude that women had no place in the world of early modern espionage, with a few seventeenth-century women spies identified and then relegated to the footnotes of history.
If even the espionage carried out by Susan Hyde, sister of Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, during the turbulent decades of civil strife in Britain can escape the historiographer's gaze, then how many more like her lurk in the archives?
Nadine Akkerman's search for an answer to this question has led to the writing of Invisible Agents, the very first study to analyse the role of early modern women spies, demonstrating that the allegedly-male world of the spy was more than merely infiltrated by women.
This compelling and ground-breaking contribution to the history of espionage details a series of case studies in which women – from playwright to postmistress, from lady-in-waiting to laundry woman – acted as spies, sourcing and passing on confidential information on account of political and religious convictions or to obtain money or power.
The struggle of the She-Intelligencers to construct credibility in their own time is mirrored in their invisibility in modern historiography.
Akkerman has immersed herself in archives, libraries, and private collections, transcribing hundreds of letters, breaking cipher codes and their keys, studying invisible inks, and interpreting riddles, acting as a modern-day Spymistress to unearth plots and conspiracies that have long remained hidden by history.
Nadine Akkerman is Reader in early modern English Literature at Leiden University and Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. She is author of the critically acclaimed Invisible Agents: Women and Espionage in Seventeenth-Century Britain (OUP), and of The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia (OUP), the third and final volume of which will be published in 2020, and is currently writing the definitive biography of Elizabeth Stuart. She has also published extensively on women's history, diplomacy, and masques, and curated several exhibitions, including the popular Courtly Rivals at the Haags Historisch Museum. In 2017 she was elected to The Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, and received a Special Recognition Award from the World Cultural Council.

Bet some monks felt the same way about Gutenberg's printing press, and then the monastery bought one. :-DReplyDelete
i was just like you a year ago. then my daughter bought me a kindle for christmas.ReplyDelete
i still love a good, old-fashioned book...that is my first choice always. but i will admit that on those nights of insomnia, it is perfect for using and not disturbing anyone else by turning on lights.
love CJ's comment above...it is probably very true!!
Lol. I have my books synced on my kindle, tablet and Iphone so I can read anytime! And at least you aren't up at 3 in the morning playing pool!ReplyDelete
I still have not given in. There's just something special about holding a book.ReplyDelete
Oh the horror! Henny has her little hands clamped over her eyes. She's hoping you will revel in that new book smell come January :) Meanwhile, congrats on your purchase. They are so great to have--on trips, especially.ReplyDelete

That's how I felt when GPS came out. I just loved looking at maps. Planning my course and seeing what is around where I was going. Now we just enter the destination and mindlessly drive there.ReplyDelete
I smiled at this, because I was te same - never going to have an e-reader. Then I got one as a gift and now you couldn't part me from it - and I buy nearly all my books on the reader. Mine's actually lighter than a book!ReplyDelete
I still don't have one . . . but am thinking about it. I LOVE books, but oh there are so very many and where am I supposed to keep them all.ReplyDelete

My Project 52 {Week 7} -
{Week 7} Thursday, February 11, 2016 ~ Daddy, on his birthday ~ iPod Touch
We celebrated together, just the two of us!
Caption: "I will never be as cool as this guy eating cheese grits across from me.
A sailboat just sailed up and docked at the Aunt Catfish dock, and he takes a long look
and then says "I took a sailboat smaller than that all the way down to the Bahamas."
Well, of course you did. Haha.
We're talking deep subjects like why coleslaw is named "Cole-Slaw",
the best pizza we've ever had, and how much we love watching the sunset paint buildings in gold.
Love him so so so much. Happy Birthday, Daddy."
25 Days until I leave for CHINA!!!
70 Days until Kimberly & Ben get married!!!

Early on in the Gamecube and Wii versions of the game, inside the train, there are illegible signs above the car doors. They were illegible in the original resolution but were removed from the HD release where they would have become clearly visible. The original sign simply said "Dining Car" but was reused for all the doors. There's also a blurred poster on the train, which is actually a picture of one of the game's programmers, this was also changed for the HD version for similar reasons.

This bento took 20 minutes to prepare in the morning. On the left box there is leftover roasted Rosemary lemon chicken, fresh mushrooms and rollo rosa drizzled with Kewpie mayo, all wrapped in a freshly pan fried pancake.
In the middle is a box of cut apples.
The right box is currently #2's favorite box. It's packed with lots of cut vegetables and tossed in salad cream. The cooling gel in it's cover maintains the cool temperature in this box of salad.
I was at Daiso @ the Curve last week and bought two more sizes of this type of box with cooling gel.
The oval one below is 380 ml in size.
This square one below is 450ml and is quite large. I am thinking that besides salads, sushi is another good item to pack in these type of boxes.

Although MakuluLinux is very easy to install there can be situations where things can get tricky, or where some thoughts should be given to some configuration options before starting with the installation. This guide should help with that.
Things to think about are, will you be installing the OS as the only OS, is it going to be a PC with the new UEFI BIOS, or with a conventional BIOS, or can the BIOS be set to boot either to Conventional or UEFI mode? Do you want to separate the User Data from the rest of the OS (this makes backups simpler, and it also simplifies the reinstallation or upgrade of the OS if a new version is released, as a fresh installation doesn't touch the data if done properly).
Or will you be installing the OS in a multiboot system with other OS's installed? If one of the other OS's is an m$ Windows, will you be accessing the Data of the Windows system?
Also, before you can start you will need to either burn the downloaded MakuluLinux iso file to a blank DVD, or better, put it on a USB stick. If you are already running an Ubuntu/Debian based Linux, I recommend using the tool called "USB-Creator" to create the bootable USB stick. This tool has the advantage that you can use it to put several iso's onto one stick, all the other Linux based tools I know of can only have one iso on the stick.
If you are currently running Windows, then "WinSetupFromUSB" is the best tool, as also this one can have more than one iso, including Windows iso's. If you are using this tool, make sure you tell it to format the stick for FAT32.
Once you have the USB stick or DVD ready, make sure your PC is set to either have the DVD first in the boot order, or the USB stick.
Installation as the only OS
This is pretty straight forward. Make sure the PC recognizes the USB stick or DVD as booting in UEFI mode. If you have booted in UEFI mode, the MakuluLinux Boot menu of the USB stick or DVD will look similar to this:
Once the system has booted, double click on the "Live Installer" which is on the Desktop
The first Window that pops open when you start the installer shows what the Password is. Many people don't seem to read this and ask what the password is, so here you can see it again, it is makulu
At the next windows you are asked to input that password. Now you can select the language you want the installer to use. Once you have that click on "Next". Now you get asked for your Region and Time-Zone. You can also select the language you want the OS to use once it is installed, and how numbers and dates should be formatted. When satisfied with those settings click on "Next". Now select your keyboard layout and click on "Next" when done. This Window now allows you to select destination disks (if your PC has more than one), and also offers options like "Erase Disk" or "Manual Partition". You should also see an "EFI" in front of the "Select storage device", like in the image below:
If it doesn't show EFI, but rather BIOS, then your system has booted in conventional mode rather than UEFI mode. If that is the case reboot and go into your BIOS to make sure that you are booting to UEFI mode.
If EFI is shown, select "Manual partitioning" and click on "Next". Now click on "New Partition Table:
and then select "GUID Partition Table (GPT)" and click on "OK".
Now click on the "Free Space" so it gets highlighted, then on "Create". Now for the size, use 500 MiB, for "File System" select "fat32", "Mount Point" select "/boot/efi", and enable the "boot", and "esp" flags, like shown below:
Next again select the "Free Space" and click on "Create". This will be for the OS partition, for which I usually suggest around 20 GB if you are going to use other partitions. If you won't be using other partitions, subtract the amount of RAM your PC uses from the total space and use the number you get for the partition size. For the "File-System" select "ext4", and for the "Mount Point" use /.
Again select the "Free Space", click on "Create", and for "File System" select "linuxswap"
If you want to use other partitions, for example for data, you can also create them here. Generally I suggest using "ext4" as the File System, and you can for instance use /mnt/Data for the Mount Point. When done, Click on "Next". Now you setup the main user account The Name is a description of the User that is shown at the login screen, while the login name is the actual user account's name. The name of the Computer describes the PC and should differ from other PC names if you are networked. Add the password, and decide whether you want the other options selected or not. When satisfied, click on "Next".
The next view shows you a summary of what you have selected, here you have a last time to see if everything looks good, if not you can use the "Back" button. Click on "Next".
The installation will now proceed.
When finished you can enable the "Restart Now" button and click on Done.
Make sure you remove the DVD or USB stick when the PC is rebooting. The system will now boot to the freshly installed OS. One of the first things you should now do is open the "Settings Manager" or "System Settings".
Navigate to "Software Sources", confirm with the Password you setup during the installation, in "Mirrors" click on the field with "Main"
and select the mirror that shows the higher speed. Repeat this for "Base". When that is done, click on "Update the Cache".
Now click on the Package Updater icon in the panel, it looks like a shield, and if there are updates available it will show a white "i" inside a blue circle (just under the mouse pointer in my screenshot below):
Again enter the password, then you get a list of the updates. You can then click on "Install Updates".
The updates are then downloaded and installed. Sometimes, depending on what gets updated, you may have to answer some Questions during process:
For example in the above situation it is usually best to select "2. keep the local version currently installed". Once the system is up-to-date, you can install software easily using the Synaptic Package Manager. Updates should be applied regularly to keep the system secure.
Installing for Multiple OS's if a Second Hard-Disk is present that can be Dedicated for MakuluLinux
The easiest way to setup such a system, would be if you have a 2nd HD available which you can dedicate for the installation of MakuluLinux. It ensures that there is no risk of corrupting anything of your other OS, for example Windows, and also Windows will have a harder time to corrupt anything on the Linux side, for example it's boot-loader. If you can do it this way, first make sure your disk with the current OS is physically disconnected from the PC. Then just follow the above instructions for installing MakuluLinux to an EFI system as the only OS.
Once the installation is finished and everything is running, shut the PC down and reconnect the Disk with the original OS. Now in the BIOS go to the boot priority settings and make sure the Disk with MakuluLinux comes before the Windows Disk in the Boot Order.
Now reboot and MakuluLinux should come up. When done, open the "Grub-Customizer", give it some time until it has read in your configuration. Now you should see something like "Windows" listed as one of the boot options.
Now you can click on "Save", and when that has been done, reboot. Your boot Menu should now include Windows and if you select that the PC will boot into Windows. With the Grub Customizer you can also change the default OS your PC should boot into. That is in the "General" tab under "Default Entry", or you can also change the timer setting, for example from 5 to 10 seconds so you get more time to select the OS you want to boot into.
Installing for Multiple OS's if the same Hard-Disk has to be shared among all OS's
If you can't add a 2nd Disk dedicated to MakuluLinux, then of course this can also be done, but there is some risk involved, so you should be careful and also make an extra backup of your current System before starting.
After that, You start in the same way as I described at the top where you install the OS as a single OS to a UEFI PC, until you get to the partitioning area.
Here you will see more options available than in the single OS installation, but again make sure it says "EFI" in the select storage device, and click on "Manual Partitioning".
On the Next Window you will see how the system is currently partitioned. If you don't have any Empty Space, you will now first have to shrink the size of one of the Windows partitions. For the click on the partition you want to shrink and click on "Edit".
Now you can reduce the size of the partition either by grabbing the end of the partition and pulling it inward, or by editing the size.
Now you will have "Free Space" which you can select and create your MakuluLinux partition with. Again you should leave further Empty space of the RAM size.
Now select the small FAT32 partition which Windows created originally, and click on "Edit".
Now leave everything as is, except the "Mount Point". Use /boot/efi for this. Make sure to not Format this partition. Since it has already been formatted and setup by your previous Linux system, and it works with that already, you could cause more harm if you format that partition.
Next click on the rest of the free space and create your linuxswap partition there as in the single OS installation. After this the rest of the installation goes the same as earlier. The other Oses will be added automatically to the Boot Menu. If after installation MakuluLinux won't boot, you should still be able to boot your other Linux installs. From one of these run the Grub-Customizer (provided it is installed), and with it MakuluLinux should be found automatically. Click on Save and MakuluLinux should be bootable. If you don't have this tool installed, running sudo update-grub from a terminal might help.

Jason Aldean isn't the only famous person in his family anymore.
His sister, Kasi Williams Morstad, just landed a really fun gig as the cover girl on a new murder-mystery book. It's called "Nashville: Music & Murder," and Kasi is on the cover taking on the role of the book's leading lady, fictional country superstar Maci Willis.
RELATED: Jason Aldean's wife, Brittany Kerr, celebrates the other man in her life
Jason posted a photo of the book cover on Instagram with the caption, "Pretty cool my lil sis @kasirosa on the cover of this new book written by my buddy Tom Carter."
That's her wearing a $6,000 evening gown on the cover with a microphone in one hand and a bloody knife in the other.

The book's author, Tom Carter, is the man who has co-written bestselling books with everyone from Reba McEntire and Glen Campbell to LeAnn Rimes and Britney Spears. All of that experience spending time with music's superstars was vital to writing this book, but he wanted the book to be entertaining, too.
"I wrote this book with writing a page-turner in mind," Tom tells Rare Country. "I wanted this book to be a book that would prompt the reader to not want to put it down. I hope I've done that."
When it came time to find someone who fit the bill to portray the main character, Maci Willis, on the cover, Tom and his team went on a search in Nashville to find the right woman.
Says Tom, "We were looking for a model who fits the description of Macy Willis. Lo and behold, that model was Kasi Williams Morstad, who is Jason Aldean's sister. She's a fox, too!"
"Nashville: Music & Murder" is now on sale through Amazon.

An Experimental Investigation on the Effect of Nitrogen Enriched Air and Heat Transfer on the Maximum Experimental Safe Gap for Propane Gas Explosions
TypeMaster thesis
Not peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Electrical apparatuses for use in potentially explosive gas atmospheres are required to be enclosed. There are two main requirements in the design of such enclosures. Firstly, they are required to withstand the pressure generated in an internal explosion. Secondly, any gap openings must be small enough to quench flames and to cool combustion products to prevent re-ignition of a surrounding explosive gas atmosphere. The largest gap opening that just prevents transmission of an internal explosion to a surrounding explosive gas atmosphere is called the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG). The MESG values is determined from standardised experiments. The purpose of the conducted experimental work was to investigate the influence of the gap material on the MESG value. Another aim was to find out if partial inertisation of the explosive gas influences the maximum experimental safe gap. The combustible gas used in the experiments was propane. The experiments were conducted in an apparatus with an interchangeable and adjustable gap opening. The gap materials tested was carbon steel, brass, aluminium and polyoxymethylene. The experiments with metal gaps show that the properties of the metals do not have a significant influence on the MESG value. However, a decrease of 0.01 mm was achieved when a flame gap of brass was used, compared to the value obtained using a steel gap. Temperature measured above the orifice of the gap opening supports the finding. At equal gap opening, a higher temperature was measures above brass gaps than above steel gaps. An increase of the MESG was achieved by partial inertisation of the explosive gas atmosphere. The MESG value of propane was doubled when the oxygen content of air was lowered to 15.04 volume percent.
