For We Are Many: Bobiverse, Book 2 is science fiction, philosophical adventure written by Dennis E. Taylor. It's available in all formats: eBooks, Audiobooks, and those paper things your grandparents used to read.
The "Bobs" have found several new worlds capable of sustaining human life and have begun transporting the survivors on Earth to Vulcan and Romulus even though they know they don't have the resources to transport everyone before the Earth become uninhabitable. But new dangers continue to emerge including a Borg-like species determined to strip mine the galaxy and new "Bobs" feeling less and less connection to or responsibility for humanity.
The Good
Philosophical Discussions/Dilemmas. While this is a science fiction story and space opera and includes a lot of cool scifi elements, the real story is about the nature of existence, identity, and the interactions of societies. This author does an excellent job of taking a well known scifi idea the readers will quickly be able to understand and be comfortable with and uses it to explore these philosophical and sociological ideas in great detail. Star Trek couldn't do any better.
Comedy. This book is filled with great humor and pop culture references. For those who are into those, you won't be disappointed.
Ray Porter. Ray Porter may just well be the greatest reader ever. He is able to convey so much emotion without every going overboard or sounding over dramatic. He also reads so well that you feel like he is talking to you and not reading to you. The man can do no wrong.
The Bad
Character Uniqueness. The "Bobs" are all supposed to be copies of the original, but all of them exhibit unique characteristics and become unique individuals. This presents fascinating philosophical implications. Unfortunately, they aren't unique enough and there are so many of them that they aren't immediately recognizable, so when the author switches to a new "Bob" each chapter, it takes a few pages to realize which one it is, because all the reader has is a name which isn't enough.
No Exposition. This story picks up right where the first novel ended with no exposition or explanation. I had just finished the first book a couple of weeks before, so the characters and action were fresh in my mind, but for anyone who took a measurable amount of time between books, they may find themselves confused.
What I Would Like to Have Seen
I wish the characters were a little more unique so that I could more easily follow what was happening. Each chapter shifts to a new "Bob", but it takes several pages to realize who it is and what he was doing because they aren't unique enough to be immediately remembered.
For We Are Many: Bobiverse, Book 2 is a great follow up further exploring the themes and ideas from the first book and continues right where the first book left off with no explanation or catch up, so you need to read the first one to understand what is going on here. It contains the same philosophical discussions and comedic tones readers enjoyed in the first book. The story is advanced while new elements and conflicts are introduced. I give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 eReaders.

No, there is no legal duty to remove asbestos.
The legal duty is to identify its presence (ie. a survey and a register) then keep it in good condition and prevent uncontrolled disturbance. This is managing the asbestos.
However, if it is beyond repair then yes, remove it.
If it is routinely disturbed then yes, remove it (or seal it or protect it).
If it's in your way for any planned works, then yes, remove it.
But if it's in good condition and you can keep it that way then leave it where it is.
And remember, all asbestos must be removed by trained, qualified, competent, experienced and skilled persons.
There are three categories of work –
- Licensed work
- Non-licensed work
- Notifiable non-licensed work
Licensed work obviously needs the company to hold a license as issued by the HSE to work with asbestos.
It's non-licensed work that tends to either confuse people, get misinterpreted or just plain ignored.
Both types of non-licensed work still need trained & competent people, using the correct methods, control measures and equipment, holding adequate insurance and knowing how to dispose of waste correctly.
Just think about the man arriving in a van, dressed in jeans & t-shirt, ripping down your asbestos cement garage roof and chucking it in his van for cash. Hmmmm, does this comply with the law?! About as much as me reading a book about money and then deciding to sell my services as a 'Financial Advisor'.
Asbestos awareness training does not make anyone qualified or competent for any removal work.
If you think its expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur.

Do you have a sensitive child?
Who is still coming to terms with how to cope with their big emotions?
Our 5 year old boy I believe is the sweetest little boy in town. He is kind, caring and sensitive, which are beautiful traits but are also causing him some strife upon starting school this term.
- Being able to understand these emotions he has is proving challenging and we are experiencing a lot of teary break downs which we haven't seen before.
- I remember getting told as a kid to get over it or kids hear terms such as harden up, or boys don't cry.
- This really upsets my heart now I am a mum to a sensitive soul and as I have met men that have been told such things in childhood and through growing up, currently in counselling and relationship courses to try and learn how to share their emotions they have spent their whole lives bottling it up.
I'm on a different bandwagon
I think everyone should be able to express themselves whether man or woman, child or adult. I certainly don't want my sweet boy to think his emotions don't matter that the things that upset him aren't important although they may be small to us they are obviously important to him at this stage in his life so I will dam well be there to support him through it.
Don't get me wrong some days I want to scream when the whinging starts, some days the smallest things can burst him into tears usually towards the end of he school week it escalates but when you get to the root of it he's 5 and literally started his version of full time work… how do you feel at the end of the week? He is not used to the long hour grind and as he becomes more tired is having to adapt and manage his feelings and tiredness… but HE IS LEARNING TO ADAPT in a safe environment without judgement.
We are exploring some concepts in our house at the moment such as:
Finding an outlet for emotions:-
- Sensitive children thrive when they can feel safe expressing their feelings.
- Helping them to verbally express what they feel in an open and respectful manner at home teaches essential life skills.
- Appropriate physical outlets also help, like engaging in exercise, listening to calming music, going for a bike ride or Kaz's favorite listening to the crashing waves at the beach.
- Creating an environment where sad feelings are acceptable and tears are never ridiculed is also essential for emotional safety.
Exploring healthy tools for managing emotions:-
Learning when, where, and how to express frustration, anger, and sadness is a valuable life lesson. Sensitive children can often feel overwhelmed by their emotions when they lack the skills for controlling these feelings or calming themselves.
You can teach your child how to relax, and use comforting and healthy distractions when upset. Deep breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques, and calming music are can be useful to help calm them when in a state of distress. We also find walks together a beautiful way to calm both of our emotions during challenging moments and some one on one time with one of us always helps soothe his little overworked soul.

By Dave McNary
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Warner Bros.-DC's costly "Justice League" has dominated the North American box office but fallen well short of expectations with a $96 million opening weekend at 4,051 locations.
It's a decidedly gloomy result for the tentpole, which had been forecast by the studio just prior to the weekend to open in the $110 million range. Instead, "Justice League" is launching with only the eighth largest opening of 2017. It's not even in the top 50 domestic openings of all time, ranking 53rd behind "Fast and Furious 6."
"For every macro budget superhero movie the stakes are incredibly high and with that comes an enormous pressure to exceed all expectations and for DC, this has never been more true," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with comScore. "In the wake of the much-needed home run that was 'Wonder Woman,' the momentum was with the brand and great expectations placed on the very broad shoulders of 'Justice League' to keep that train moving."
Dergarabedian noted that the movie will gross $285 million worldwide this weekend and that initial reception among audiences is positive. The overall CinemaScore was B+ with males comprising 58% of the audience while females gave the movie an A-, as did moviegoers under 25.
"With the rightfully heightened expectations for a movie of this magnitude comes a greater scrutiny of both the quality of the movie as determined by critics and of course the profitability of the film, but the ultimate arbiter are moviegoers who seem to have found the concept and the event nature of the film enough to them out to the movie theater even if the overall North American opening weekend number may be less than many expected," Dergarabedian said.
"Justice League" had been on track for an opening weekend of $110 million since late October. Stakes are particularly high for Warner Bros., which hasn't revealed the cost of "Justice League" -- estimated to be as much as $300 million. The movie is the fifth installment of its DC Extended Universe, aimed at duplicating the success of Disney-Marvel's interconnected franchises. And it's by far the lowest launch, trailing "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" ($166 million); "Suicide Squad" ($133 million); "Man of Steel" ($116 million); and "Wonder Woman" ($103 million).
The six films that have cracked the $100 million opening mark this year are Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" at $174.8 million, Disney-Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" at $146.5 million, Warner-New Line's "It" at $123.4 million, Disney-Marvel's "Thor: Ragnarok" at $122.7 million, Sony-Marvel's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" at $117 million, and Warner-DC's "Wonder Woman" at $103.3 million. Universal's "Fate of the Furious" took in $98.8 million in April for the seventh-best launch of 2017.
Gal Gadot stars as Wonder Woman along with Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as the Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. Amy Adams, Amber Heard, Jeremy Irons, J.K. Simmons, and Willem Dafoe also appear. Zack Snyder began shooting "Justice League" in April of 2016, from a script by Chris Terrio. Joss Whedon -- director of Disney-Marvel's two "Avengers" movies -- assumed directing duties following the tragic suicide of Snyder's daughter in March.
Reviewers have not been impressed with "Justice League," which carries a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its opening comes two weeks after Disney-Marvel's "Thor: Ragnarok" debuted above forecasts with a $122.7 million opening weekend in what was the fourth-biggest launch of the year.
Liosngate's family drama "Wonder" provided positive news for the weekend, opening far above expectations with $27 million at 3,096 sites. "Wonder," starring Jacob Tremblay as a fifth grader with a facial deformity, received an A+ CinemaScore with an audience that was 68% female and 66% over 25.
"Thor: Ragnarok" followed in third with $21.8 million at 4,080 venues for a 17-day domestic total of $247.4 million.
Fuelled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince assemble a team of metahumans consisting of Barry Allen, Arthur Curry and Victor Stone to... Read More

Thanks for this thread! I love Exid and am glad they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Hani is fantastic. She has such an offbeat personality that is so entertaining.
How amazing is With Out U?
Todak Todak is my number one from the mini album, but Without You is definitely at least second place. Both have a strange timeless quality about them.
Also Hot Pink is finally on Spotify. In honor of Christmas I guess.
Teaser for a new song:
Not here for basic ballady EXID.
I actually quite enjoy their ballads. This one does sound a little saccharine on first listen, though. May sound better in full.
Hopefully it explodes into something since I'm getting When Loves Takes Over vibes from that.
It's another duo between Solji and Hani. Guess it's about somebody dying? Huh.
Their debut full length is out June first! This is all coming up on us so quickly. Woooooooooooooooooooo.
Remember the their awesome debut song? I'm hoping for something like that.
I'm only really "here" for EXID for Ah Yeah, but I'm excited to check out their full album. The video for Ah Yeah is something else.
That photo of Hyerin is my new phone background. Absolutely gorgeous shot!
Can't wait for the album! I wonder if it'll be all new material or if it'll include previous singles.
Maaaan! This group has a real SOLID hardcore rapper! It's such an excitement moment when her voice pops up on their tracks,specially on Hot Pink!
A few more updates:
LE uploaded the full album track list. It seems we're really getting 11 songs with a couple of supplementary remixes slapped on (I'm sort of praying that Hot Pink mix is the same one they premiered in the KBS Song Festival mashup). A little nervous at the inclusion of Only One so here's hoping they at least buttressed the production a bit on that one.
We also got LE's teaser image.
And lastly I'm pretty sure this is a snippet of L.I.E. Which if so basically confirms they're going for something completely different from the "trilogy" this time.
Separate names with a comma.

How long does it take for a lie to catch up with you? Fortunately for me, not very long and while the big question at the end of episode one isn't answered, there's plenty of other secrets popping out to engage my interest. There's a lot less plot maneuvering in this episode and a lot more character interaction, which I love because this show knows how to sell it. Continue reading Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 2

Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 1
The last thing I need to do is add another drama to my watch list, but seeing how people were raving over the first episode of Rich Man, Poor Woman, I thought I'd at least check it out. Even with Oguri Shun to stare at for an hour, I doubted the drama would have too much to offer plot wise. Luckily, I was wrong and pleasantly surprised by the first episode. This may be the summer romcom I was looking for; a fun Cinderella story with a few twists. Continue reading Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 1

What have I been doing?
Hey all, some people have been asking me recently what have I been doing since there hasn't been much activity on my blog or on bot development so I have decided to make this blog post to answer these questions + Inform you of a Container management tool (computer program) that I have been playing around with called docker,
If you are unfamiliar with what docker is I briefly talked about it Here And you can also read about docker clusters Here. Recently I have been doing a lot of docker work with the help of Funkypenguin After days of hard work and troubleshooting I have spun up an auto-pirate stack which contains radarr, sonarr, Jackett, nzbget, Rtorrent and NZBHydra, this was a stressful project to create if you are new to docker but once you have it sorted it makes a lot of sense. I also have spun up emby, Private bin, Portainer and much more. If you have any questions about this service feel free to contact me otherwise I highly suggest you check it out :)
Also the reason why I have not made many blog posts recently is I have to wait for either a big discord update to come out or if I start using a program that has the ability to integrate with discord that I can also make a blog post about
Thank you for your constant support

Arriving into Siem Reap by boat is a bit of a shock. The 'ferry' docks at a small mud bank in the middle of a straw-house village. The luggage is piled on the top of the boat in a free-for-all, and everyone is scrambling to be the first to get theirs. It's almost as if they think that if we don't get it right away, the boat will drive off again. "Go the other way around the boat," One man said. "You can't get out this way." So I lugged my now very heavy pack (I bought a few too many pirated books and DVDs in Phnom Penh) around the foot wide precipice of the ferry, clinging desperately to the rail with my one or two free fingers (the others tied up holding my bags, food, sarong blanket, etc) only to discover that the other side was exactly the same. I should have just ignored him! Meanwhile, I have 10 guys yelling at me to take their tuk-tuk tricycles into town with them. I'm climbing around someone and then others are climbing around me (I refused to budge!) then when I finally get off the boat, I am absolutely surrounded. I am not joking here--it was certainly a super claustrophobia inducing moment. I was not afraid, but exasperated and amused. I even tried to tell them all to take a step back (that's the teacher in me, because I do that with my students all the time--is it any surprise that they ignored me and shouted louder that I had to take theirs! It's as if they think I wasn't listening.)
So one guy says, "I talked to you on the boat, lady!" And sure enough he was right. I zoned in on him for a moment, and he seemed to be offering a good deal. "1000 riel, lady. Come in my tuk-tuk." 1000 riel? That's 25c... a bargain for a 10km ride. The guy next to him was offering a much steeper 50c. "Okay," I said, verifying the price again to be sure I wasn't imagining it. The Lonely Planet mentions that they'll only take you for a cheap price in order to get something back. "Yes, lady. 1000 riel." So I climb in. Did I mention that it's been raining and the mud is about 2 inches deep and we're all slithering around in it. Nice bright orange stuff too... healthy rich soil, I'm sure, even if I don't want it caked on my shoes and sprayed up my trousers. I'm in, and off we go. I smirk at the other travellers being hassled as we weave and honk our way through the crowd.
So I thought I was being smart did I? The guy stops to take a piss half way along the road, a very picturesque road--lots of houses on stilts above the glistening river filled with smiling children and lazy men lying around in hamocks. There were even some pigs lolling around in competition with the men, but the men won, simply by numbers! So he comes back, but not to drive: he wanted to negotiate. "Lady, you need a tuk tuk to drive you around the ruins tomorrow?" "No," I said. "Let's just go." "But, lady," he whined. "It is 15km to town..." yes, I know he's poor (he only looked about 15 years old), but stranding me and holding me hostage is not a way to convince someone to hire you again. The conversation got more agaitated (on my part) and more desperate (on his part). I suppose I am shallow and selfish, but I hate being offered a price and then someone going back on their word. I threatened to get out (what the hell did I think was I going to do, hitchhike?) but that got him back on his bike and off we went. He pleaded again for me to hire him when we got to the guest house (he was disappointed that I wouldn't go to HIS guesthouse, but that's part of the scam). I do feel horribly guilty, because 1000 probably wasn't a fair price to pay, but hey, he shouldn't have offered it to me! All for the sake of getting someone onto their bike. I could say something really sexist here, but I won't...
Needless to say, I am getting tired of all the hassling. In the market, the little children close their fingers tightly around my wrists (I feel as if they put a cinch on my heart when they do it, and must admit I shake them off) and pull on my shirt. I do feel sympathetic to them, I really do, but I just don't give to beggars, because it only encourages it. I am happy to share my meal leftovers (as I did last night), and am even happy (sometimes) to purchase something they're selling (but only if they don't pester me too much, though I do hate it when they don't go away when I say no), but the begging just goes to syndicates anyway. They certainly have honed their techniques though. I suppose it's all about Darwin isn't it... survival of the fittest. The ones who are more timid don't last, which just makes the ones left that much more annoying.
Watched the last part of The Killing Fields tonight. A really harrowing, but real movie. Poor Cambodia--what a lot it's had to go through. At least things are looking up for it though. The healing has begun.
Did I mention that the Killing Fields memorial was a bit of an anticlimax after the superb museum in town? As someone I met said, "I think I spent more time getting the the memorial than I did actually at the memorial." Sure, the actual bones were there (Stacked tall in an enormous pagoda-style monument) instead of just the photographs, and their were several prominent holes in the ground where the graves were, but it just didn't have the same impact and effect. It almost seemed sanitized because the torture house and the officer's room, and other things had "perished" (been taken away, no doubt, as a political favor). There's a scene in the movie that's pretty harrowing... he discovers similar fields of bones. Watch it, it's good.
So it's been raining a lot here. The puddles and mud are everywhere, so it wasn't like it was just today. What a depressing thought. I really don't want to slog it out among the ruins tomorrow. I've promised myself that I will ride a bike tomorrow, to save money, get some exercise and really experience it all. I just really don't want to have to do it in the rain. After all, it's a bit hard to hold an umbrella and ride a bike at the same time, and that's all I have in the way of rain gear.
Am reading The Lonely Planet Story about the Wheeler family's creation of that fantastic company. It's a good read... though a bit dry at times. Lots of lists of places they went in sucession. I certainly get a perspective of the generation and of just how hard it is to make a company really work (I would have given up so many times if I'd encountered what they did). I've idly thought about creating my own company (or several mini companies) because there are so many wonderful things to do, but I don't think I have the drive to see it through. Part of my Third Culture Kid mentality I imagine. I just don't achieve so many of my goals! I know that I can, but I just get distracted before I even begin. I really need to decide to do something and actually do it.

The Army general who commanded the war against homemade bombs that have killed and maimed thousands of Americans in Afghanistan has left the Pentagon knowing he scored a major victory.
In December, Lt. Gen. Michael Barbero took off the gloves before a Senate panel and criticized a Pakistani fertilizer conglomerate for failing to cooperate in keeping its product from falling into the hands of Taliban makers of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
The Fatima Group of Lahore was "less than cooperative" and "they have not implemented any effective product security or stewardship efforts," Gen. Barbero told senators.
Gen. Barbero said Fatima had a change of heart around February. After refusing to talk with him, Fatima began discussions that led to several safeguards for its calcium ammonium nitrate, a much-used explosive ingredient for homemade IEDs.
"My assessment is, A.) they are sincere, and, B.) they have taken some actual steps to try to put some control on the free flow of this material," said Gen. Barbero, who was honored at a mid-May retirement ceremony after leading the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization for more than two years.
A government source said some in the joint organization credit The Washington Times for the turnaround. On Jan. 27, The Times disclosed that Fatima's Midwest Fertilizer Corp. was capitalizing on $1.3 billion in tax-free bonds to build its first U.S. plant in Indiana at the same time it was refusing to help the armed forces reduce IED casualties.
Gen. Barbero attributed Fatima's about-face to several factors, including pressure from the public, a decision by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to freeze state support and the fact that Pakistanis have been victims of homemade bombs.
He listed major steps taken by Fatima:
• Tracking calcium ammonium nitrate by using clearly labeled yellow bags that contain lot numbers that are in a central database.
• Inspecting and educating distributor sites about the need to monitor buyers, and assuring that there are no "ghost" middlemen.
"They said they have closed down a number of them," Gen. Barbero said. "We did some checking and found that they had taken some steps there."
• Stopping sales in two border provinces — Baluchistan east of Kandahar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa east of Kabul — that are home to bomb-making networks, and recalling all calcium ammonium nitrate.
"Our commanders in Afghanistan said Chaman [Baluchistan] is the hub. That's where they operate from," the general said.
• Developing harder-to-detonate fertilizer made from calcium ammonium nitrate. Fatima is testing the product and has agreed to U.S. joint testing.
"I believe they are sincere and they believe they have produced this reformulation," Gen. Barbero said.
• Joining the International Fertilizer Association's product security plan, which opens Fatima to outside IFA auditing.
• Signing a military-to-military cooperation agreement May 6 that commits the U.S. and Pakistan to sharing information about IEDs. The draft sat unsigned for months.
One of Gen. Barbero's last acts as director of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization was to travel to Pakistan in May to sign the framework and assess Fatima's motives.
"There was a strategic decision that this is in our interest, Pakistan and we need to cooperate," he concluded. "That's my assessment, that they are sincere."
Nadeem Hotiana, a spokesman for the Pakistani Embassy, said: "Fatima Fertilizer has been working overtime to address all the concerns, and all concerned are being kept briefed by the Fatima Fertilizer, including the U.S."
About 80 percent of all IEDs in Afghanistan use homemade explosives as the main charge, of which 47 percent contain fertilizer with calcium ammonium nitrate and 45 percent another substance, potassium chlorate, according to the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization.
"We have seen a reduction of the percentage of [calcium] ammonium nitrate that we've seized," Gen. Barbero said. "The number of IEDs are down, but it is pretty anecdotal at this point."
In Indiana, Gen. Barbero said, he spoke with the governor upon his return from Pakistan.
Mr. Pence still does not believe Fatima has gone far enough. Last month, he ordered the state not to be the conduit in the municipal bond market, where Fatima would pay a lower interest rate because bond proceeds are tax-free to the lender.
He said the Defense Department cannot guarantee that none of Fatima's fertilizer products will end up as bombs.
"Without assurances from our Defense Department that the materials which have been misused by the enemy in Afghanistan will be permanently removed from production by Fatima Group in Pakistan, I cannot in good conscience tell our soldiers and their families that this deal should move forward," Mr. Pence said.
Officials in Posey County, Ind., disagree and still want the plant. Local news reports said the county plans to sponsor the bonds through its own economic development agency.

Three months ago, when Convoy launched its Automated Reloads program, it was an extension of what is a core value of the company, "to love problems, not solutions." Ziad Ismail, chief product officer, emphasized that to FreightWaves when talking about the success that the program has had on reducing empty miles and with that, cutting carbon emissions.
"The problem, in this case, has been around for decades – how do you enable carriers to spend more time driving fully loaded, helping them to earn more while reducing waste from empty miles," he said. "Machine learning is uniquely suited to solve these types of large-scale data problems by analyzing large complex patterns of carrier and shipper data and predicting the most optimal combination of multiple loads, taking into account the lanes on which that carrier prefers to run."
Launched in June, Automated Reloads has slashed carbon emissions by 45% in top markets (including Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; and St. Louis, Missouri), and reduced empty miles for customers in those markets to 19%, according to Ismail, who said Convoy estimates that overall, 35% of total mileage is run empty in full truckload van and reefer applications.
In some lanes, Automated Reloads has resulted in a greater than 50% of all loads being part of the bundled package option available to carriers and owner-operators.
Automated Reloads presents drivers with a collection of loads that take into consideration criteria such as the carriers' lane preferences, driver hours of service availability, driver locations and facility wait times.
The idea is to provide carriers with multiple options so they don't have to spend time looking for backhauls. A "package" of loads is presented with a single price for all the loads, rather than individual prices for each load. Carriers/drivers always have the option to bid their rates on the combinations or simply accept the package. The majority of loads are currently being accepted by carriers, but Ismail said some owner-operators in the Convoy network have benefited.
"For example, we recently spoke to an owner-operator who appreciated the ability to haul multiple drop-and-hook round-trips by bidding on a single job spanning a week and a half. He was able to earn more and get home to rest on his preferred schedule, guaranteeing that he spent less time looking for work or driving empty," he said.
Angie Slaughter, vice president of sustainability procurement for Anheuser-Busch, said Automated Reloads is fast becoming a part of the beer giant's efforts to cut its carbon footprint.
"By partnering with Convoy, we have used the benefits of its digital freight network to strategically batch our loads with the most relevant carriers to reduce the empty miles within our routes," she said. "By reducing these miles, we improve the sustainability of our fleet – taking another step towards our ambitious sustainability goal of reducing carbon emissions by 25% by 2025 – and continue to lead the way towards greater efficiency in the transport market and within our own supply chain."
Convoy noted that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data shows that medium- and heavy-duty trucks account for 436 million metric tons of CO2 per year, with Convoy estimating that half of these emissions come from trucks in the full truckload sector.
While Automated Reloads was designed to make it easier for carriers and truckers to book multiple loads as a single job, its environmental benefits in reducing empty miles as trucks reposition for the next load is something the company believes deserves equal attention.
"For decades, the miles that trucks run empty have been a seemingly intractable source of waste in the freight industry, unnecessarily emitting millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide," Aaron Terrazas, Convoy's director of economic research, said. "More efficient route and schedule planning is the future of freight and has the potential to meaningfully reduce the industry's carbon footprint."
Ismail said Convoy is looking at ways to further improve Automated Reloads.
"While we're excited by how quickly Automated Reloads is being adopted, we are continuously working to grow and improve the program," he said. "As Convoy's business grows and more shipments are added to our digital freight network, our machine learning algorithms can identify more shipments to group together and automatically create the most efficient route for carriers."
That is already happening, Ismail said, noting that initially the system was producing two loads at a time, but the company is seeing more cases where four or more loads are being bundled.

South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils have each appointed their first ever Cycling Champions to help and encourage people to travel by bike.
Cllr Sam Casey-Rerhaye at South Oxfordshire and Cllr Eric de la Harpe at Vale of White Horse will work with local organisations, communities, other councils and transport bodies to make sure there is wider access to cycling paths across the districts.
The work of the Cycling Champion will help to deliver the legacy of The OVO Energy Women's Tour, which saw thousands line the streets and get enthusiastic about cycling when it passed through both districts on 12 June. The race provided a significant platform to showcase Southern Oxfordshire as a cycling and tourism destination and is set to return to Oxfordshire again in 2020 and 2021.
Cllr Casey-Rerhaye, who regularly cycles to work and encourages her children to cycle wherever possible, would love to see more people doing the same – particularly for journeys under five miles. Her aim is to make improvements to new and existing cycle paths in the district to help reduce pollution and carbon emissions and encourage others to increase their overall fitness through cycling.
Cllr Casey-Rerhaye said, "With the climate emergency, we are seeing how important it is to ensure that people have easy access to alternative transport. Cycling has a vital part to play, the more people travel by bike for either short journeys or part of a longer journey, the better chance we have of tackling harmful emissions and reducing chronic ill-health. This could make a massive contribution to a reduction in greenhouse gases -helping to secure a safer future for the next generation."
Cllr de la Harpe is a keen cyclist after deciding 15 years ago to help the environment and his own health by cycling to work whenever possible. His passion for two wheels was spurred on further when he experienced following the Olympic Torch from his home in Abingdon to his offices in Henley – not seeing a car along the entire journey has helped him to support people to use their own pedal power.
Cllr de la Harpe said, "Cycling has significant benefits for individuals' health and wellbeing and can also have much wider benefits in areas where cycling communities have formed, ride together, hold events and socialise together."

With mid-term elections now less than a week away, politicians are in no mood to deal with serious issues (are they ever?) like the ongoing fraud in bank foreclosures that began to unravel three weeks ago and has continued to gather momentum.
That issue has been shelved for the time being by politicians and the bankers at the heart of the scandal. In fact, Bank of America was one of the top-performing stocks of the day, on a day in which the major indices took a serious turn to the downside only to be salvaged by furious buying into the close.
Silly me. I thought for a moment that the markets weren't rigged and losses could occur. Apparently, and almost assuredly, this is not the case. Nobody wants to talk about mortgage put-backs and fraudulent foreclosures. That's so... last weekend. We all need to pay attention to the events of next week - the elections and the FOMC meeting, and of course, how could I forget, Halloween is Sunday.
That's the level to which the markets and politics have sank. Bad news is simply not acceptable over any extended period. Breaking the law will be tolerated, as evidenced by the disappearance of our US Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has chosen the path of least resistance: prosecutions for nobody, no matter what, and especially if you're rich, well-connected or a complete snobbish troll.
As for stocks, they hit their lows of the day just after 1:00 pm ET, but then began a miraculous comeback on no news - as usual - to shave a nearly 150 point loss on the Dow down to just over 40 by the close. Nice job, fellas. We're sure there's a special place in hell for the cheating rats who now completely control Wall Street and their HFT computers, though most of us out here in teaming-masses-land would prefer to see you get your just desserts here on earth, as in a nice long prison sentence in a federal penitentiary and clawbacks and restitution of the billions you've strangled away from the US public.
But I digress. These titans of financial ingenuity, the Blankfeins, Dimons and Pandits of the world, they've brought us such wonders as 17% real unemployment, $3.00 per gallon gas and a complete rejection - at the federal level - of the constitution and the rule of law. We should thank them as they are whisked away in their limousines, for they have done the nation a great service: they robbed it blind.
Oops, there I go again; trying really hard to be objective, though it's difficult in the face of such overt criminality. Thankfully, I am not alone in my outrge. At least there is William K. Black, who sent thousands of dirty bankers to jail in the S&L scandal. He thinks Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner should be fired, many bankers indicted and the twelve largest financial institutions put under federal receivership.
Is anybody listening?
Dow 11,126.28, -43.18 (0.39%)
NYSE Composite 7,480.87, -49.93 (0.66%)
Losers dominated winners, 4180-2216, a nearly 2-1 margin. New highs came in at 294, to just 54 new lows. Volume was a bit stronger than previous days this week and last, though it was still not at levels normal in the mid-00s, prior to the financial meltdown of 2008.
NASDAQ Volume 2,027,671,625

Commodities trended lower on the day, with oil losing 61 cents, to $81.94. Gold fell $16.00, to $1,322.60, while silver shed 43 cents, to close at $23.40 the ounce.

Jesus and the Philosophers
When a certain astronomer who was present,asked the Lord Jesus whether he had studied astronomy, the Lord Jesus replied and told him the number of the spheres and heavenly bodies, as also their triangular, square, and sextile aspect; their progressive and retrograde motion; their size and several prognostications; and other things which the reason of man had never discovered.
There was also among them a philosopher well skilled in physic and natural philosophy, who asked the Lord Jesus whether he had studied physic. He replied and explained to him physics and metaphysics. Also those things which were above and below the power of nature; the powers also of the body, its humours, and their effects. Also the number of its members, and bones, veins, arteries, and nerves; the several constitutions of body, hot and dry, cold and moist, and the tendencies of them; how the soul operated upon the body; what its various sensations and faculties were; the faculty of speaking, anger, desire; and lastly the manner of its composition and dissolution, and other things which the understanding of no creature had ever reached.
Then that philosopher arose, and worshipped the Lord Jesus, and said, "O Lord Jesus, from henceforth I will be thy disciple and servant."
While they were discoursing on these and such like things, the Lady St. Mary came in, having been three days walking about with Joseph, seeking for him. And when she saw him sitting among the doctors, and in his turn proposing questions to them and giving answers, she said to him, "My son, why hast thou done thus by us? Behold I and thy father have been at much pains in seeking thee."
He replied, "Why did ye seek me? Did ye not know that I ought to be employed in my father's house?"
But they understood not the words which he said to them. Then the doctors asked Mary whether this was her son. And when she said he was, they said, "O happy Mary, who hast borne such a son."
Then he returned with them to Nazareth and obeyed them in all things. And his mother kept all these things in her mind; And the Lord Jesus grew in stature and wisdom, and favour with God and man.
NOW from this time Jesus began to conceal his miracles and secret works, and he gave himself to the study of the law till he arrived to the end of his thirtieth year, at which time the Father publicly owned him at Jordan, sending down this voice from heaven, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased," the Holy Ghost being also present in the form of a dove.
This is he whom we worship with all reverence because he gave us our life and being and brought us from our mother's womb. Who, for our sakes, took a human body and hath redeemed us, so that he might so embrace us with everlasting mercy, and shew his free, large, bountiful grace and goodness to us.
To him be glory and praise, and power, and dominion, from henceforth and for evermore, Amen.
The end of the whole Gospel of the Infancy, by the assistance of the Supreme God, according to what we found in the original.

Today I went to a special exhibition of Verdura jewels, it's only opened for four more days. It's amazing how much energy you get after viewing pieces like the Coco Chanel cuffs which she wore for 50 years and I can actually see the scratches on them! The cuffs originally began as brooches, which Chanel pinned to her jersey dresses and suits, and most famously was the pair of wide enamel cuffs that became some of the most celebrated jewels of the twentieth century.
Ruby, Diamond, Gold and platinum "Sash Heart" brooch commissioned by actor Tyrone Power for his wife Abnabella, for Christmas 1941.
We can see on the photo that she is wearing the heart)
Also I never knew that Coco Chanel was the first to start wearing yellow gold!
A lot of the most beautiful pieces have been gathered at Verdura exhibition. So, if you are in NYC by chance then you have this great opportunity to visit it) xoxo

Why Resilience Is So Important
Every year, I fly home to Chicago for my nephew Zach's birthday. Once my lil' buddy picks his theme, my sister-in-law and I go to town on making an elaborate cake to match.
We have made some pretty cool freakin' cakes over the years!
This year, Zach's theme was video games. (Go figure, he's 9!:) The plan was to have a video game truck come to the house followed by a sleepover.
But on the day of the party, my niece came down with strep throat. The worst, right?
So of course, some of the moms started to freak out and cancel because they don't want their kid to get sick. (Who can blame them!)
And we had to put a total kibosh on the sleepover all together.
Now, I know this may sound like just a minor bummer. But to a 9-year-old who is looking SO forward to their party for weeks on end, this was the WORST thing ever!
The poor little guy was beside himself, afraid the party was ruined.
It was heartbreaking because a) it stinks when kids are sad AND b) I knew EXACTLY how he felt!
I felt his disappointment.
It simply wasn't going as planned. At all.
And damn it, isn't that what happens to us sometimes, even as adults?
Things don't go the way we hoped. We get fired. The relationship falls apart. We suffer a loss or a blow.
And we don't really get to do that full-on tantrum crying thing that kids do.
I mean, we can, but we mostly hold ourselves back from doing that until we're in the total privacy of our bedrooms.
And whether or not we actually let it out in that full-on release kind of way, we still feel it.
We feel that loss. We feel that disappointment. We feel that total letdown.
And strangely, somehow, it often feels as though we have failed, even if that disappointment has little to do with us.
But here is what is MOST important about setbacks and disappointments:
Setbacks and unexpected chicken-shit salads happen. And boy do they stink.
But I believe there's strength in feeling our disappointment fully—and then stepping forward into a new, unknown moment—and it's all about resilience. This is why resilience is SO important!
If we can make resilience our best friend, we will never EVER be completely stuck.
Resilience allows us to dry our tears and move forward. To smile again, to love again, to act again, to open up again, and to eat our gosh darn birthday cake that our mom and Auntie E made!
When we're ready, we must help our own selves recover, return back to a state of love, and step forward again.
Learn it. Study it. And live it. Every day.
Without it, we stay stuck in our sadness and ultimately we may miss out on new experiences and all the goodies life is waiting to bring us.
Can you guess what happened with the party?
The video game truck pulled up, the first kid arrived, and Zach was smiling ear-to-ear in no time.
Oh, and the cake! It got our biggest "Ooohs and Ahhhhs" to date from all the kids that were there. Funny enough, it was the least complicated of all those we did in the past. Ha! Kids!
Now it's your turn. If this resonates with you, I would love for you to share your thoughts below. Are you someone who identifies with resilience? Do you allow yourself to bounce back?
I look forward to hearing from you!
With love,

Erin, your blogs are delightful. I always get value from them. Who knew you're such a great baker to boot? Thanks for sharing your wonderful spirit.
I was just thinking (maybe ruminating) about all the past hurts from some family members and wondering why-with all my work I can't always stay OK with it, and transcend. I get there, and then maybe something happens and BAM!-Im back to feeling all of it and sick to my stomach. How do I begin practice resilience?
I was just thinking the same thing. All the work we put into a positive mindset and wellness and it feels like a big circle. I wish I could remember a quote on the mirror of my barre class today…it said something like it requires work to be happy and work to be miserable, all of it requires work. I find myself wishing everything would require less work, but maybe that is the glitch in my mindset? Who knows, just a thought. Sorry I don't have the answer either!! Let's keep at it.
One of my all time favorite teachers used to say that life is a spiral staircase. It seems like we're going around in circles, hitting the same mistakes again and again, which may be true, but we are also moving upwards. As long as we keep moving forward and climbing, we're working through our issues and baggage on a higher level each time. That image of the Spiral Staircase is something that always helps me when I feel like throwing in the towel.
I truly with being resilient on my dream to move back to New York. I accompanied my family down to Florida as a buffer really, so their retirement/move would go easier, but they've grown dependent on me being in FL and whenever I talk about or mention moving to NY, it's discouragedand don't feel supported. It makes my mood turn from excitement to discouraged. So I have to keep with my being resilient on accomplishing my dream and believing in myself.
I love the theme of Resilience. I give you credit for including the need to allow ourselves to feel the full on of our feelings about the disappointment at hand. I recently experienced a break up and although I wanted it and felt relieved, it took me a week of 'night eating' to express my full on tantrum verbally to myself that I was triggered and so sick of breakups. I just want the love to build and grow and after two weeks now of regrouping, and really feeling the depth of the letdown…I feel resilient. If we rush ourselves past the disappointment…resilience is less authentic. But if we dive too deep into the disappointment…we miss the JOY of showing ourselves we can bounce back. Love the cakes…soooo creative!!
i too, love your writing. they are always the perfect length and resonate so much. bouncing back is a wonderful feeling once you gain the empowerment to do so.
xo happy friday
I was a professional dancer and university teacher until 4 years ago when I got hit with emergency intestine surgery. It put me in bed unable to move for 6 weeks and unable to dance or lift weights or do yoga for a year. I lost my job, started working at a running store for $8 bucks an hour, and had to move back home to my parents' basement. I was 35 when this happened. But I have come to realize that this setback actually helped reset my career in a more positive direction. I was forced to confront issues I hadn't had time to deal with. I started getting into running and triathlon and discovered that I could do more to help other people in the fitness industry because now I had empathy for people who struggle to workout. Resilience means being willing to try new directions when you hit a roadblock
I must confess, I am resilient! I feel like I could have caved in and said drop the mic so many times, but I just don't. For some reason, I keep listening to that quiet Truth that resides in all of us…You are worth it! You are meant to be here! You have a reason…others need you, too! Often times, I forget that, but that little piece of the Divine is there, supporting me even when I feel like I will shatter into a million pieces! There have been days so dark that I thought I would take matters into my own hands, yet, that voice, that small, faint voice. I could not tune her out because she is the me that knows I can handle this human toil…this human joy! I hope all of you will listen to her! She is there, she is you! You are powerful beyond your imaginations!
What else is there for me, what gifts of love do I need/can I receive right now, that I couldn't before? It's uncanny that my biggest challenges have brought the most substance and possibilities, after. I love the word resilience, thanks for the post!
I've tried to be resilient throughout my life. My dad died when I was 17 and my mom when I was 28. I've had lots of breast cancer scares, which turned out to be estrogen-driven cysts and, with menopause, that scare disappeared. I've had my gallbladder removed and a 5 day hospitalization with pancreatitis. One of my children attempted to take her life, but it was a cry for help that we addressed. Each time I've tried to stay positive and bounce back. Then last summer, after following our dream of moving to Florida after 30+ years as teachers, my husband and I had to face my lymphoma diagnosis. Pretty scary, since we were residents of less than a year and not fully aware of the FL health care system. Again, a positive attitude and faith in my doctors. I am now in remission-and hope to be for a long time-and preparing to begin my maintenance program. I'm bouncing back again and plan to when (not if-my kind of lymphoma is not cured) this rears its ugly head again. A positive attitude and outlook are most important. I'm trying to be Tigger and continue bouncing.
Thanks Erin for your message on resilience. My son is getting married in a month and while I'm happy for him that he has found a girl to share his life with, I also am feeling the loss of the connections we've had as a family. Things are changing and they're never going to be what they were. My hope for resilience is that the new life waiting around the corner is one full of joy but my fear of the unknown and being replaced in his life hurts right now. So I'm going to try to take your advice and let myself feel how much it hurts and then I'm going to try to put a smile on my face and work to embrace and include this new daughter-in-law and look for the happiness my son has with his new wife and new life.
Maybe I'll even have grandchildren some day!
Hi Erin, I have a question. How do you know when you are ready? My best friend just lost the love of her life. She is devastated and struggeling to move on, but all the plans they made for their new life are gone. She is trying so hard to figure out what to do.
Resilience is having something to replace or help release us from that place of stuck or hurt. It is so good for us to create some wow experiences to pickup the bruised soul and move forward. That awesome cake and video truck certainly did it for your nephew Zach. You are so real and caring. Life is Love, thank you.
I read this at the perfect time for me. I had hit a big stumbling block this morning, dropped the ball big time, felt like a total failure, and was desperately trying to find a way to come back from it. After reading your post I forgave myself for stumbling, I forgave myself for getting down on myself for stumbling, gave myself a hug, told myself I'd do better next time, and feel soooo much better! Yes, I want to make resiliency my best friend too!

The number one reason behind many perspective clients (mostly brides) not attending premarital counseling is their fiance doesn't want to. You cannot make someone do what they don't want to do, but in this case you really should try. The benefits vastly outweigh the costs, especially when you book with me!There are so many reasons to attend premarital counseling. Two that are my favorite: an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, and investing in your relationship through counseling is a sure fire way to prove your commitment. Let's not beat around the bush. Here are the things to put in front of your lovey so that he can get on board.

Money is such a motivator in many cases. In the state of Georgia you can get your marriage license down to $27! The original price varies by county, but who doesn't love a discount? I know what he is going to say. "But we have to pay for premarital counseling anyway, so the price doesn't matter". He is somewhat correct. Here is where I make my plug. My prices are some of the lowest you will find in the Metro Atlanta area, period. It isn't because I am inadequate or the quality isn't good. I keep my costs down by offering sessions online and in your home, so I have no building lease/rent to pay. Also, I want to make premarital counseling affordable to everyone. The well off aren't the only ones who should reap all of the benefits of relationship education.
2. Learn how to Argue
I am not going to give away all the wonderful gems that you learn in session, but learning how to argue in a healthy manner is key for a long lasting, enjoyable relationship. Disagreements, arguments, bickering - whatever you want to call it - is going to happen. Couples have to know how to respectfully disagree with one another and leave the conversation with a solution. And in those times where a solution cannot be reached, both parties should at least feel heard and valued.
3. Plan for the Future
This is the perfect place to go over expectations about marriage, children, family traditions, and many other things. Most couples are surprised at what aspects don't line up with their perfect image of the future. You may have had some semblance of a conversation about these topics, but the thing about meeting with a professional is they know the things you haven't talked about.
4. Mediation
Because you don't know how to argue, discussing such hard hitting topics can get real heated, real quick. I will be there to help you navigate discussing various topics and practicing strategies to listen and be heard. When you have someone holding your hand along the way, it makes it easier to do on your own.
5. Discover New Things About Each Other
Every couple I have worked with has learned something new about their partner. Whether they had been together for two years or five, there is always something new to learn about your significant other. Why? We are human, that is why! Humans are evolving, ever changing creatures. Our experiences continue to mold who we are day-in and day-out.
I hope these help convince your fiance to take the plunge. I offer a la carte sessions for this very reason! Do one session and see how you like it. I promise you'll keep coming back. :)
What Goes Out is What Comes in...?
No, I am not talking about our good ole friend Karma. I am talking about The Law of Attraction. What you focus on is what comes to fruition. It is all about the cosmic pull of your energy source. Or maybe it's not, I'm not quite sure on that. What I am sure about is the premise of The Law of Attraction, which makes total sense. For example, while I was pregnant I focused on all of the things I didn't want to happen during my labor (water breaking before actual labor, baby being backward, labor lasting FIVE ever, etc.). Guess what? ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED!!! Instead of focusing on what I did want, I used all of my energy on the things I didn't want. What if we stopped worrying about the bad and started preparing for the good?! The way The Law of Attraction works, even if we aren't being intentional about what we focus on, we will inherently concentrate on something. And then that something will happen anyway, whether we are being deliberate or not. So let's be intentional!
Let's focus our energy on the positive in 2019! Better yet, let's focus on the positive for a lifetime! Stick words or phrases of affirmation around your living space; in your bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen, front door, on your steering wheel! Regularly seeing these positive signs will keep them in your subconscious.
Create a vision board! Take the time to sit down with a poster board and a pair of scissors, some great quotes printed from the inter-webs, colorful sharpies, and some cool magazines. In fact, every year my husband and I create something similar using a cork board and post-it notes. This is an exercise I stole from one of my sessions I do with my clients (it also happens always to be their favorite session).
I know that being a chronic negative thinker is a thing. In college, I had terrible bouts of anxiety because of all my negative thinking. It really does spiral out of control when you get that one pesky negative thought. It snowballs into a mess of terrible, untrue, disturbing thoughts. I ended up downloading an app that would randomly buzz with positive affirmations and beautiful quotes that interrupted my dark cloud. Words are so powerful and yet we take their importance for granted.
Try out a few of these gems for the next thirty days and see if your mood and mindset doesn't change. Actually, I read somewhere that habits are created after 66 days. So starting today, I will be posting a positive affirmation on my Instagram and Facebook for 66 days, with the last day being Monday, March 18th. Let's challenge ourselves to better thinking.
What are you waiting for..? Follow me!
Facebook: Better Together 365
Instagram: Better.Together.365
My alarm goes off at 8 a.m on a Tuesday morning, and I am off to the races. Wake the baby, feed the dog, feed the baby, pump more milk while entertaining the baby and checking emails. Text sister and friends while scrolling Instagram and skimming other social media. Put baby down for a nap. BREATHE. Open the bible and finally attempt to block out all distractions.. but of course, I have the baby monitor up.
In a world filled with distractions, focusing becomes almost impossible. Between social media tugging at your attention, sustaining a social life, going to work every day, working on your passion, committing to nurturing a thriving relationship, and getting those three square meals a day (ha!), you have a lot screaming for your attention. Some say apps are the issue. Funny enough, there are an extreme amount of apps created to help you block other apps from distracting you! We can blame it on many things but let's be honest, it is easy to want to be entertained and feel "connected'". But in the sarcastic words of the witch from the amazing play (later turned movie) Into The Woods, "... what really matters is the blame, somebody to blame".
WHO CARES WHY! Let's just figure out how to fix it. Like the first step for many things, one must admit there is an issue. It is the first week of January, and we have all made goals for the year, some grandiose and others minute. No matter the size of your goal, you have to have time to work on it. Where do you get the time? Do you wake up early? Do you go to sleep later? Maybe you flake on some events that you really don't want to go to anyway, but now you have a reason because "you're bettering yourself". (too close for comfort? sorry). Here is a list of things you can do to focus.
I promise you the number one source of your distraction is that handy dandy cellular device. Al Gore did not create the internet so you could be unproductive. TURN. IT. OFF. I am one of those people who cannot turn off their phone for various reasons, so proceed to number two if number one just isn't for you.
Place your phone on do not disturb. This is available on just about every phone. You can set some people as favorites if you have to get their calls or texts the first time they're sent.
As someone who is home every day, people assume that I am always available since I don't have to clock in and out of a job. WELL, THEY ARE WRONG. You have to let other people know that you are working on X so you cannot be disturbed. One good way of knowing someone truly needs your immediate attention is ignoring the first phone call. If they call again, then answer the phone with, "Hey I am busy. Do you need something?". Do not ask them what they want, because if it is a want, then it's not important enough to be interrupting your focus.
If you have the space for an in-home office, then use it! Go sit in your guest room. Go to your basement. When you are in this space often enough then others will recognize it as your zone time, the time where you are in your zone and cannot be bothered. If there is nowhere in your home, then get out of the house. Go to the library or maybe even a coffee shop. BE WARNED, if you are going to a public place then people watching may ensue. In that case, go to number five.
When I have in my headphones, I am transported to another world. Sometimes I listen to music that I know puts me in good vibes or sparks my creativity. When I must truly focus, I play music in another language. I can feel the beat, but I have no clue what they are saying, so I don't get lost in the lyrics.
There are so many other ways to increase your focus, but I highlighted these five because they are a guaranteed way to start seeing results. Try implementing them tomorrow, or even better yet, TODAY! Let me know how it increases your focus and/or boosts your productivity. What other tricks do you use to focus?


text: Hi gang, Bios is modded for the slp1 and vista bits. Can XP be activated as it is still installed or is it a case of formatting and making a OEM boot disk. I know the software routes which circumvent the checking but that seems a bit pointless now the bios is done. Can the slp1 just be added somehow like the XRM-MS license certificates in vista. Thanks for any replies in advance.

Escherichia coli
E. coli is a bacterial species that normally resides in the intestines of people and animals. However, some types of E. coli, particularly E. coliO157:H7, can cause intestinal infection. E. coli O157:H7 and other strains that cause intestinal sickness are called Shiga toxin–producing E. coli (STEC) after the toxin they produce.
Symptoms of intestinal infection include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and fever. More severe cases can lead to bloody diarrhoea, dehydration, or even kidney failure. People with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, young children, and older adults are at increased risk for developing these complications.
To support research into E. coli infection, The Native Antigen Company has developed an E. coli antibody that is highly specific to the O157:H7 strain.
E. coli Background
E. coli is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative, anaerobic bacterium. Most strains of E. coliare harmless, but some are pathogenic to humans. Some of these pathogenic strains of E. coliproduce Shiga toxins – potent bacteriophage encoded cytotoxins. Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) are a common causes of severe food poisoning in humans worldwide.
Cattle and other ruminants are natural reservoirs of E. coli O157:H7, where the bacteria exists in the animals' intestine as part of its normal intestinal flora. Outside of the natural host, E. coli O157:H7 can survive in diverse environments including water, soil and food. In particular, E. coli O157:H7 can survive in meat that has been contaminated with faecal matter and undercooked beef. E. coli O157:H7 bacteria can thrive at temperatures ranging from 7 – 50oC, so that thorough cooking of meats is essential to destroy it. Other foods have been linked to E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks including unpasteurised milk, cured meats, bean sprouts and leafy vegetables, which have all been associated with faecal contamination.
E. coli O157 can infect individuals from all age groups, is resistant to stomach acids and is highly infectious. In humans, the ingested bacterium invades and colonises the intestinal mucosa. Symptoms of E. coli O157 infection include stomach cramps, haemorrhagic diarrhoea and vomiting. Haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) may also occur in severe cases of infection, which can result in life threatening renal failure.
Pathogenic strains of E. coli acquire virulence factors through various means including plasmids and bacteriophages. Several virulence factors are associated with E. coli O157:H7, including Shiga toxins, putative virulence plasmid O157 (pO157) and a pathogenicity island referred to as the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). Together, these virulence factors are currently thought to be responsible for the pathogenic nature of E. coli O157:H7 (Lim JY).

E. coli Antibodies
The Native Antigen Company offers a high-specificity monoclonal antibody to the Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain. Our E. coli antibody has been extensively tested to show that it does not cross-react with a wide range of other, related E. coli strains or bacteria responsible for gastrointestinal infections.

After thirteen days, with twenty-one ahead of me before I start work, the search is officially ON for mon propre chez moi — my own place. With each day that passes I become more and more discriminating, but also increasingly open to compromise (ironic?). Time is of the essence, as everyone keeps reminding me. That is because when I return to Dijon in three weeks, I won't be alone. It is la rentree, which means that thousands of university students will also be returning to Dijon, many of them looking for just the thing I am: a tiny studio close to the centre ville.
I've now perused what feels like hundreds of ads, many of which had just one little detail (okay, 100 euros over my budget is not really a little detail…) that banished them from the list. More recently I started to go through some of those old ads again and have for some decided that one little detail wasn't worth elimination. Back on the list. I've called in the reinforcements, and Nicolas' entire family is on the hunt for me as well. And I'm not just talking his parents and his four siblings. There was a family reunion last weekend. Now even the people I hadn't met before know that I'm Emily and I'm looking for a place in Dijon.
Nico and I have taken two trips into Dijon to check out possible chez moi's. One scary entryway, one mansion's run-down third floor (hasn't been renovated since they invented insulation…), and one less-than-independent room later and I'm more optimistic than ever. As Nico said, there has to be at least one perfect studio in Dijon…and we are going to find it.
Just made a call about a room in an old house. Independent bathroom, microwave, and wifi. A kitchen to share with neighbors. Reasonable price and good location. Not exactly what I was thinking, but worth the call.
Monsieur G picks up and I stumble along in French, asking if, by chance, the room is still available. It isn't. But devine-quoi! He has a *tiny* (13 square meters) studio for the same price. Centre ville.
I'm going to visit it this week.

Jim Blumenfeld is very interesting fellow who you can see as a Stage Captain at the New England Forest Rally, Stage Captain at all of the Rally New York events, and he has driven the pace car at SCCA events at the New Hampshire International Speedway. I recently found out that Jim also collects record albums and sound equipment.
Several months ago, I posted some images of record album covers that are related to car themes. Jim has literally thousands of albums and he recently forwarded some images to me of car-related record albums that he has.
I'm Not Sure How You Cover a Stock Car Race on a Record?
Remember When Drivers Sat Behind the Engines In Dragsters
The album cover on the right has songs by Burt Wheels and the Racers, a group who has been lost to history. Jim did note that some of these records are a little tough to listen to. The album mentions on the spot recording from the Indianapolis 500. That's kind of strange as the race car shown on the cover of the album is clearly turning right! Definitely not from the Indianapolis 500!
Count Basie in an E Type Jaguar – He Knew Music and Cars!
Of all of these records, Jim says that the Count Basie record sounds the best.
Optimistically Named Volume 1 of Doo-Wop Gold
The album below has the sound track from the movie Grand Prix. This was a very good movie, which I have seen several times, however I don't remember a single piece of music from that movie other than "V12" by the Ferraris.

Dentium USA
The SuperLine and Implantium dental implant systems are trustworthy and reliable, proven by more than 10 years of long-term clinical data. All implant diameters for SuperLine and Implantium share the same internal hex. The biological connection contained within the implant creates an even distribution load to the fixture, helping to minimize micromovement and marginal bone loss. Furthermore, the conical hex connection between the implant and abutment interface helps ensure greater hermetic sealing and provides an improved tactile sense. Both implants encompass the S.L.A. (sandblasted with large grit and acid etched) surface treatment that facilitates the osseointegration process with a high predictability of success, and provide more complete bone-to-implant contact throughout every thread of the implant. This produces a well-attached base for successful osseointegration.

"The Crimson Horror" is the only Doctor Who episode so far that features the Paternoster Gang but was not written by Steven Moffat. He brought in his Sherlock co-writer and fellow Victoriana obsessive Mark Gatiss to write his script while he was finishing off "The Snowmen," and because the two stories share a decent amount of their cast, they were filmed in a production block together.
Here are a few things to keep an eye out for, the next time you watch:
(The episode is available on iTunes and Amazon.)
There's an untold case attended by Sherlock Holmes that would fit the details of this story rather well. It's mentioned in passing by Dr. Watson in "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-nez," who, while rifling through his case files, says, "As I turn over the pages I see my notes upon the repulsive story of the red leech and the terrible death of Crosby the banker."
The community of Sweetville is based on the real-world working villages of Saltaire and Akroydon, founded in the 1850s by textile industrialists Titus Salt and Edward Akroyd. Although it's a short conceptual hop from Salt to Sweet, Gatiss was inspired to name his villain Mr. Sweet after a discussion about Victorian life with fellow Doctor Who fan Matthew Sweet.
Rachael Stirling (who plays Ada) was recruited to the cast after she appeared with Gatiss in a production of George Farquhar's Restoration comedy The Recruiting Officer at the Donmar Warehouse in London in 2012. Gatiss already knew Rachael's mother, Dame Diana Rigg, and the three had dinner one evening while Gatiss tried to convince them to play a mother and daughter on screen for the first time. He had to convince Diana with a showreel of classic Doctor Who villains, as she had never seen the show. Oddly enough, Gatiss' co-star in The Recruiting Officer was The Office star Mackenzie Crook, and he also recruited Diana and Rachael to play mother and daughter when he wrote his acclaimed BBC comedy Detectorists.
Speaking of Diana Rigg, Jenny is seen fighting off some of Sweetville's workforce while wearing a leather cat suit, which was inspired largely by Diana's costume in the 1960s TV adventure series The Avengers:
Although it was filmed in Cardiff, Gatiss wanted to write a Doctor Who adventure set in the North of England, using northern actors (including Dame Diana Rigg, who is originally from Doncaster). He originally titled his story "Mother's Ruin," a play on the eighteenth-century slang term for gin.
When the Doctor says he once spent a "long time trying to get a gobby Australian to Heathrow Airport," he's referring to the story arc of Tegan Jovanka, companion of his fifth incarnation and cabin crew worker who managed to wander aboard the TARDIS for the ride of a lifetime. The Fifth Doctor often encouraged her to buck up and stop complaining with the catchphrase "brave heart, Tegan," which is why he then goes on to say the same thing to Clara.
The Fourth Doctor had some experience of accessing an image of a recently deceased being, although in his case, it was a Wirrn who died, and he was accessing its retina in "The Ark in Space."
Mark Gatiss worked in references to several foodstuffs that will have been familiar to people in the 19th century, including Pontefract cakes (also known as Pomfret cakes and Pomfrey cakes) which are not cakes at all. They're a type of small circular sweet made of liquorice, and were originally manufactured in the Yorkshire town of Pontefract. Mrs. Gillyflower also mentions seed cake: a traditional British cake flavored with caraway seeds that appears in British recipe books from as far back as 1591. The most notable of Victorian cookbooks — Isabella Beeton's Book of Household Management — also has a seed cake recipe.
Fans of Victorian gothic horror will have already spotted that Mrs. Gillyflower's offering of "a glass of Amontillado" sherry is a nod to Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado," in which a murderous nobleman tempts a rival into a cavernous cellar on the promise of some rare sherry, only to chain him up in an alcove and seal him in with a brick wall.
And as for "trouble at mill!," it's an archaic idiom from the North of England (hence the delight with which the Doctor says it in a Yorkshire accent) dating from the Industrial Revolution. It's based on situations of industrial tragedy and strife, which later came to take on a wider meaning, that of non-domestic aggravation happening in a workplace or community environment:
Monty Python's Flying Circus later began their celebrated Spanish Inquisition sketch with the same phrase:
NEXT: "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS"

Artists Reception: Sunday, November 20, 2016, 3:00 - 5:00 PM
Meet the artists and see their wonderful work.
The public is welcome, admission free.
Featuring local wines and artisanal cheeses, served by the Jamesport Manor Inn.
The Jamesport Manor Inn offers a Prix Fixe dinner immediately following the reception for $27.95 per person.
Roxanne Panero is a painter whose subjects range from landscape and figurative to conceptual art. A graduate of the fine arts department of Barry College in Miami, Florida, Roxanne taught painting and design at Barry College and Miami Dade Junior College. Upon moving to New York City, she became Vice President and Creative Director of R. L. Silver Associates, advertising and marketing, for 14 years. She then established her own design firm, Panero Design, Inc., which is in operation today. Roxanne taught typography and design at Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC for ten years and served as juror, panelist and presenter for advertising awards and seminars throughout her career. She has been the recipient of numerous design awards in the print industry, including being named Graphic Designer of the Year by the Long Island Arts Council. She has also studied at the School of Visual Arts, Pratt Institute Manhattan and the Long Island Academy of Fine Art. The paintings featured in her 2016 show at the Rosalie Dimon Gallery are from her nature series in which she explores the diversity and nuance of pond life, florals and oceans.
Sara Cedar Miller's archival pigment "light drawings" capture the bays and ocean near her home in Hampton Bays in an abstract style that radically departs from the more traditional and recognizable images of the East End's water ways. Influenced by her passion for calligraphy, map imagery and watercolor, Miller's unique images surprise and delight viewers who are shocked to learn that the pictures are essentially "straight" photographs. Miller's work has been dedicated to conserving the natural environment of both the East End and Manhattan's Central Park. For the past 32 years Miller has been the official photographer and historian of Central Park for the Central Park Conservancy and has written and photographed three award winning books: Central Park, An American Masterpiece (Abrams, 2003), Seeing Central Park (Abrams, 2009) and Strawberry Fields, Central Park's Memorial to John Lennon (Abrams, 2011). She received an MFA in photography in 1983 from Pratt Institute. Her earlier work published by Blue Sky in Sara Cedar Miller was funded in 1985 by the National Endowment for the Arts, and she had a one-person show of her work at Art Sites in Riverhead in 2012.
Exhibits at the Rosalie Dimon Gallery are a joint effort by East End Arts and the Jamesport Manor Inn to introduce exceptional artists and their work to the East End communities. This program is made possible with public funding provided by Suffolk County.
For more information and to purchase work, contact Jane Kirkwood, East End Arts Gallery Director: 631-727-0900 or email@example.com
