Chemistry and Biophysics major Patrick O'Brien names his "milestone moment" at UTC as the summer he spent working as a full-time researcher in the Chemistry department's undergraduate research program with Dr. Steven Symes.
O'Brien and Symes worked with local company eSpin to figure out a method for the release of antibiotics into the body through a biodegradable device designed to wrap around bone fractures.
"If Chemistry interests you it's a great way to get your hands dirty and do some lab work and work with professors," O'Brien explains.

Castle of Illusion is a classic Megadrive title which Sega have recreated for modern day consoles. The game has been basically remade from scratch, with entirely new visuals and sounds being included, however, a few flaws have shown up. Read on for our full review of this new title…
Castle of Illusion is a platformer which mainly focuses on Mickey Mouse. While the remake certainly looks beautiful, and the cutscenes and assets have been gorgeously crafted, there are a few major issues with the gameplay mechanics. As this is a remake of the game we won't really be going into the limited plot aspect, but rather the aspects of the upgrade.
Firstly, the controls are an issue. There is a considerable amount of lag after hitting a button. I have heard that the issue is bad on the Xbox 360, but in my PS3 review, I didn't find it quite as bad as the Xbox 360 players had said, however it still did exist. I managed to adapt to get used to it, although it can cause more frequent deaths in the game. Jumping is also a little difficult to get used to. Unfortunately, Mickey seems to jump very high, and very far in comparison to most game characters. Getting the hang of his jumps so that you do not fall from platforms is the issue, however, I was able to overcome this after around twenty minutes of play, so, it isn't quite as much of a major issue.
In terms of graphics, the characters, levels and backgrounds are almost on par with Rayman Legends. The art style is magnificent, and the game ranks among the top platformers VISUALLY. Sound and music elements are also great, especially for a limited budget remake.
Cutscenes and voice acting is great, as always with Disney. Unfortunately, not all of the cutscenes can be skipped, which may be annoying if you don't like watching them. The combat and gameplay, is, however, quite enjoyable and definitely improved over the original title.
To sum up Castle of Illusion, I would say it is definitely brings the nostalgia back with a new level of graphical quality, but those controller bugs may make the game highly frustrating and in some cases unplayable for some players. Keep it in mind if you plan on buying this title for nostalgic values.

Configure RSA RADIUS monitoring on NetScaler
December 16, 2011 3 Comments
Ok, so this one is pretty easy and speaks for itself for the most part but can have some pitfalls while configuring.
In this example we are going to assume that the RSA backend is already in place and functioning properly.
A good question is why would you want to. When you leave the monitoring to default which would be tcp-default it marks the server up as it response to a tcp connection. That would simply not be enough, we need to make sure that the RSA RADIUS Service is actually up and ready to accept connections.
Make sure you have an account configured in RSA Authentication Manager that is authorized to send the response that you want to retrieve from the RSA Radius service. More on the RADIUS Response codes later on and why you would like to use a valid account.
Next to the account we are assuming that authentication is working properly and the Citrix NetScaler IP is added in RSA as a host that is allowed the use RSA Radius Authentication.
The Basics (load balancing)
Create a load balanced Virtual Server where the (in our case) two RSA Servers reside (The IP addresses mentioned is off course to be adjusted accordingly).
add server rsa01.domain.local 192.168.0.1
add server rsa02.domain.local 192.168.0.2
add serviceGroup sg_radius_rsa_001 RADIUS -maxClient 0 -maxReq 0 -cip DISABLED -usip NO -useproxyport NO -cltTimeout 120 -svrTimeout 120 -CKA NO -TCPB NO -CMP NO -appflowLog DISABLED
add lb vserver lb_vs_rsa_001 RADIUS 192.168.0.3 1812 -persistenceType NONE -cltTimeout 120
bind serviceGroup sg_radius_rsa_001 rsa01.domain.local 1812
bind serviceGroup sg_radius_rsa_001 rsa02.domain.local 1812
Creating the Monitor (Standard Parameters)
Create a monitor as displayed below. Important things to configure is the Type (RADIUS) and Destination Port (1812) on the Standard Parameters tab.
Note: I had to change the Response Time-out setting to 4 (default is 2) since the response took longer then 2 seconds to be received by Citrix NetScaler (This something to check).
In the screenshot below you can see that the response takes a bit more then 2 seconds to be received meaning we had to adjust the Response time-out within Monitor => Standard Parameters.
Creating the Monitor (Special Parameters)
Under the Special Parameters put in the account credentials that is created within RSA Authentication Manager that will pass the proper response. As a Response Code we have chosen to go with 2 which is Access-Accept.
add lb monitor radius-rsa RADIUS -respCode 2 -userName netscaler_monitoring -password dc0b445466e821 -encrypted -radKey e93d11543846hf963ef -encrypted -LRTM ENABLED -resptimeout 4 -destPort 1812
RADIUS Response Codes
There are different types of RADIUS Response Codes, see the table below. When you cannot or don't want to create a user account within RSA Authentication Manager then you will not be able to receive a Code 2 (Access-Accept) response code and are not able to verify if the entire Authentication chain is actually working. That would mean Citrix NetScaler will just send Authentication Requests to the RSA Service even though the database is down but RADIUS still receives Access-Reject so according to Citrix NetScaler the server is up and running and ready to accept Authentication requests.

Out-of-Sorts & Off-Kilter: Why Hormonal Imbalance May Be The Cause
- Posted on: May 9 2019
- Leave a response
Hormonal Imbalance is something that everyone will face at some point in their lives. For some it will happen at a time that they expect it to, such as menopause or much later in life. However, more and more people are beginning to experience the symptoms of hormonal imbalance at younger and younger ages. There are many possible causes for this that largely have to do with our modern lives and environment.
Hormonal imbalance can cause many undesirable symptoms that can have a dramatic impact on our quality of life, such as:
- Unexplained Weight Gain
- Chronic Fatigue
- Insomnia / Trouble Staying Asleep
- Loss of Libido / Sexual Performance
- Mood Swings / Anxiety / Depression
- Headaches & Migraines
- Loss of Muscle Mass & Strength
- Lack of Drive & Initiative
- Poor Memory / Foggy Thinking
- Muscle & Joint Pain
If you are experiencing many of these symptoms you may be suffering from hormonal imbalance. If you suspect you may have hormonal imbalance, you can take our Free Hormone Quiz to see how likely it is you would benefit from treatment.
Knowing how a normal menstrual cycle works helps to understand the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), perimenopause and menopause. Symptoms are often the result of too much or too little hormone(s).
During perimenopause hormone levels fluctuate as a result of fewer ovulations, so less progesterone is produced in the second half of the menstrual cycle. Periods can be erratic, skipped or have heavy bleeding /clots. Symptoms result from the change in ratio of estrogen to progesterone ¬ so the imbalance creates the symptoms.
During menopause, estrogen is no longer produced by the ovaries and is made in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands and in fat tissue. Estrogen is still produced in the body, but in lower amounts than younger cycling women. The most significant hormone change of menopause is the lack of progesterone, so a time of estrogen dominance and low progesterone.
Important Menstrual Cycle Hormones
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) – released from the pituitary gland in the brain, and stimulates the ovarian follicles (fluid-filled sacs on the ovary containing an egg or ovum) to mature.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) – also released from the pituitary gland in the brain at ovulation, and causes the rupture of the mature ovarian follicle, releasing the egg.
Estrogen – One of the female sex hormones and often referred to as the "growing hormone" because of its role in the body. Estrogen is responsible for growing and maturing the uterine lining (lining that is shed during menstruation) and also matures the egg prior to ovulation. Estrogen is produced mostly by the ovaries but also in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands and in fat tissue. It is most abundant in the first half of the menstrual cycle (follicular phase). Learn more about how you may be effected by Estrogen dominance.
Progesterone – Another of the female sex hormones. It works in the body to balance the effects of estrogen and is often referred to as the relaxing hormone. Progesterone is produced after ovulation by the corpus luteum (sack that the egg comes from) and dominates the second half of the cycle (luteal phase). Progesterone¹s main job is to control the build-up of the uterine lining and help mature and maintain the uterine lining if there is a pregnancy. If there is no pregnancy, our progesterone levels fall and the lining of the uterus is shed, beginning the menstrual cycle.
Testosterone – An important sex hormone for both women and men, although women have much lower levels. Is produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands (right on top of the kidneys), and has a surge at time of ovulation and slight rise just before the menses. Testosterone helps women maintain muscle mass and bone strength, enhances sex drive and helps with overall sense of well-being and zest for life.

Just Watching
My eyes then were dragged over to the woman getting out of a rather battered Volvo, and who either is that eccentric she doesn't care, or got dressed in the dark. for as she stepped out of the car i literally did Laugh Out Loud, she had a full length fur coat on with Adidas trakkies, purple sox and silver dancing shoes with a 3" heel, she had on a lime green hat and white sunglasses, this lady must of been in her late 50's, but the loveliest thing was she had a great smile and i almost wished i lived in her head for a hour or so.
Moving up the queue, makes me frown in wonder , and i now wish i had been paying attention to what was in front of me, as the car in the car wash didn't have a driver , No he was standing at the side of the car wash watching his car being washed, i just wish i he'd seen him getting out of the car before the sprinklers started, as you cannot drive forward until you have punched in the number.
I then sat and started to listen to the radio, and thought about life in a poignant way , i saw a man on the path across the road, nervously checking his watch, Who was he meeting? Where did he have to be ? He then answers his phone and turns and ran off in the opposite direction , I hope his day turned out OK.
I was almost my turn and i could see two carers from 'The Home' trying to coax a lady in her dressing gown and slippers to go back inside, and by the hand gestures a cup of tea was on offer.
This made me think without CCTV and Big Brother, you are not often alone , and there will be someone watching , not with judgement , or distaste, but with human interest, so beware next time you have your finger up your nose , someone is watching.

The freshness of your spray no doubt,

The beauty you expel so true.
A wonderous creation, hidden depths abounding,
Waterfall, Waterfall glory surrounding,
Crashing, frothing at the break below,
Spectacular performance you bestow.

Tea Parties
I saw a TV programme one day, about a lady who didn't have any daughters holding Tea parties for girls in her area, this set me thinking. I do have daughters 3 of them, and 2 of them would adore this idea.
So i carefully planted the seed, in their head and Hey Presto we are on our first Tea party had been organised.
My middle daughter had chosen her friend (it was her turn)and i needed no excuse to indulge in this event.
I collected the girls from school, and whilst they giggled upstairs, getting changed into their after school attire, I laid the table,which was met by gasps of excitement when they came into the room.
I had made lots of cupcakes and butterfly cakes, I had set out the China Teapot and cups and saucers , and filled the teapot with squash,the girls all sat around the table and quietly chatted whilst in the background, my eldest daughter had chosen to play Micheal Buble , on the Cd.I did on this occasion also make warm food in the shape of mini fish and chips, but i have since rectified that.
On Thursday,Daughter 1 had her chosen friend around and i laid on an assortment of sandwiches and the obligatory cakes and squash. I have also shortened the visit, so that this does not turn into a lets now go trash the house affair, and it stays serene.
I have previously mentioned this idea on Twitter and lovely lady @wendymal has also taken to the idea.. I, for one, cannot think of a nicer way to bring our Little girls back into civilisation and indulge them in this time aged tradition.
Of course they need to be multi-talented and non- dependant by the time they are ready to fly the nest, but for now they are little girls .....my little girls.

Palo Alto High School's Model United Nations Club will attend the upcoming Stanford Model United Nations Conference on Nov. 15 at Stanford.
According to Leslie Wan, co-president of Paly's MUN club, club members are looking forward to the participating since they were unable to attend last year.
The SMUNC draws 600 to 900 participants and they aim to educate students about current events, international relations and world diplomacy.
According to Wan, SMUNC is unique due to a crisis simulation where "terrorists" come in during the middle of a discussion and take away delegates.
"During these conferences you meet a lot of new and unique people from all over, like New York and Hong Kong," Wan said. "It's really amazing when you meet people who are just as passionate as you are about creating solutions for the world."

The Hard Prayer is a John/Rodney apocafic by Rheanna. The cover art is by Counteragent. The author later recorded a podfic of her story and turned it into an audiobook.[1] It's available at the Audiofic Archive.
Summary: One year after the end of the world, John meets another survivor.
Recs and Reviews
Unknown Date
You probably have already read this, because everyone and their cat has recced this one, but it is a great apocafic. A plague wipes out most of humanity, and I like this story for showing how surviving the apocalypse damaged them. [2]
The One That Teaches Us That Surviving the End of the World Ought to Be Featured Way at the Top of the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale. With, Like, a Point Value of Nine Million. The Hard Prayer, by rheanna27. Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay/John Sheppard. And we start with one that could not be more unlike a Harlequin AU. However, it also could not be more awesome, so that's okay. This is an apocalypse AU. Usually the end of the world makes me geechy - can't imagine why! - and, in all honesty, this story did freak me out somewhat, and there were a couple spots I had to skim on account of my own personal issues. But. Wow. Seriously. So very, very worth it. I can't even tell you how much. What I love about this story is what Rheanna does with the characters we know and adore. They've been changed, seriously changed, by what's happened - as indeed one would be. Live through the apocalypse, anyone's going to get a little twitchy, you know? And John and Rodney are indeed very, very twitchy. I found myself nodding along as I read this, thinking that this was totally how they'd snap, if they were going to snap. (And if I have a personal motto, it's: once the world is over, you might as well snap. What, like it can get worse?) It's particularly interesting to me - and, upon reflection, totally right - that John is the one who can't handle the situation as well. John, in some ways, is a border collie: he needs a pack. Rodney just needs a goal. (And, of course, they neeeeeeeed each other! Look, sorry, I'm an OTPer by nature; I had to add that. It's in my OTP Fan Contract, right under "Sulk a little bit when your friends start writing other pairings.")(And, for the benefit of any readers who might be Best Beloved and thus even more allergic to apocalypse stories than I am: yes, it has a happy ending. Read this, damn it.) [3]
It's an apocalyptic AU. And so fascinating. If you like apocalyptic worlds, this one is for you. I'd even go as far as saying you'll probably love it even you've never seen a SGA episode in your life. Yes, it's that good. Why I'm reccing it: Because I was so moved by this story that I had *dreams* about this apocalyptic world. It sort of reminded me of I am Legend, the movie I mean, except instead of a very confindent Will Smith, we follow a very damaged John Sheppard, slowly losing the will to go on and his mind along with it. The writing is beautiful, the pacing is good. I never wanted these 3 hours to end. At some point, I remember thinking "Wow, this story doesn't even need to become slash !" because John and Rodney's relationship as strangers with nothing to live for but each other, doesn't need to be more than that. I'm not sure why, but this story is a little spooky too. [...] Well anyway, I can only urge you to read/listen to it now. [4]
A tough look at what it takes to be the only survivors in a world-wide epidemic, this story explores the despair, the coping mechanisms, the gritty reality of post-apocalyptic life. This is an AU where John and Rodney meet a year after everyone else has succumbed. There is a road trip during which they learn about each other's idiosyncrasies and how to trust in someone else again. The details of their lives, past and present, provide an uncomfortable glimpse into just how quietly, relentlessly horrifying their world has become. It's not an easy journey, but there's definitely hope for both of them at the end. [5]
Post-apocalyptic shorelines, admittedly, are one of my favourites. In The Hard Prayer, Rodney and John are both basket cases; that much is canon, but rarely do you see it delivered so well in fanfiction. Their journey for survival and sanity isn't an easy one, although I can promise you a happy ending. I was completely mesmerized by the description of the events and (unfortunately dead) people they encounter, some made me smile, most made me sad, and one made me cry. After read many post-apocalypse books and seen quite a few of those movies, I can honestly say The Hard Prayer is one of the best in this genre. Highly recommended! [6]
I love post-apocalyptic stories and his one is terrific: full of detail of the daily struggle to deal with the isolation and the devastation. Most of all what I loved was the poem quoted at the beginning which gives the tone and theme of the story itself:
- After a long time of solitude, after many steps taken
- away from one's kind, toward these other kingdoms,
- the hard prayer inside one's own singing
- is to come back, if one can, to one's own,
- a world almost lost, in the exile that deepens,
- when one has lived a long time alone. -- When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone, Galway Kinnell [7]
Why This Must Be Read: This is one of those stories that feels so real you can practically taste the hopelessness in the back of your throat. Rheanna27's language is that evocative and the premise and characters that well thought-through, right down to the neurosis each develops as a result of their circumstances. The apocalypse here wasn't anything violent -- there are no zombies or atomic bombs or giant storms to give people something to fight -- which gives the story a very eerie feeling. [8]

The exhibition with the Canadian group Articulation is rapidly approaching and I have several other things in the pipeline (but more on those later). Just one problem I haven't been able to post on this blog since I have my new computer but with a tweak I am hoping this is going work- here we go again a new beginning.

Supreme Court rejects Texas Democrats in redistricting case
Four days after giving Texas Democrats something to cheer about over the long and complex redistricting battle, the U.S. Supreme Court went the other way and gave Texas Republicans a victory.
On Tuesday the Supreme Court rejected the Texas Democrats attempt to get the Court to review it claims alleging Republicans used partisan gerrymandering in 2013 to hurt Democrats at the ballot box.
That decision comes after Friday's decision in which the court agreed to take up an appeal from organizations representing African-Americans and Latinos that accuse Texas Republicans of using racial gerrymandering to dilute minority representation. The oral arguments related to the racial gerrymandering claims is set for April.
On Tuesday, the Court sided with the state of Texas' attorneys who had argued that Texas Democrats did not have jurisdiction to call for an appeal of the lower courts because a final ruling had not yet been issued in the case Democrats are trying to appeal.
But the U.S. Supreme Court is still looking at partisan gerrymandering cases from other states that could ultimately affect Texas. The Supreme Court already has agreed to look at allegations of partisan gerrymandering in the congressional redistricting maps of Democrats in Maryland and in the state redistricting maps of Republicans in Wisconsin.
Texas Democrats say they will watch those cases and rulings carefully to see how they could help them in their efforts to force Republicans to redraw maps in Texas.
"Today, the Supreme Court ruled that it does not presently have jurisdiction to hear a partisan gerrymander claim under the unique posture of this complex case." Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa said. "Nonetheless, we anticipate an upcoming opportunity to continue our pursuit of justice for Texas voters."
Since Texas started redistricting after the 2010 Census, the effort has been under constant legal attack. In August, a lower court ruled that at least two congressional districts - the 27th and the 35th - violated the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act. Additionally the court found the state's congressional plan in 2011 then redrawn in 2013 was intentionally discriminatory and called on the Legislature to hold a special session to redraw the maps. The court also ruled the redistricting map for the state house also violated the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act and needed to be redrawn.
But before any of that could happen, Texas appealed to the Supreme Court to temporarily block the redrawings and won. In late September the groups representing African-Americans and Latinos appealed. The result is on Friday the Supreme Court decided to review the racial gerrymandering claims in the spring.
The outcome of the case is critical to the Texas and national political landscape because it helps determine how Texas is represented in Congress. If the Republican-led Legislature is forced to redraw district lines again, it could open the door for Democrats to gain seats in Congress from Texas.

From The Moment you step in, you will be amazed. The villa is so beautifully designed, and cared for. You feel like you're in a peaceful little jungle of your own. The staff is so nice, polite, smiling, and there for you at all times. And the food is fantastic thanks to Agus!! The location is ideal - close to everything, but just far enough for some peace and quiet. I couldn't of asked for a better way to spend time in Bali!!!
Like the people who work here tvilla is beautiful both inside and out . It's set in a large terraced beautiful garden, with a nice pool and is .immaculately maintained by Agus. [ He even decorated the garden for a BBQ held to celebrate a birthday. The service and smiles of Marde and Ayu and the culinary expertise of the chef Gus were fantastic. The driver Dwi and his brother Twe ensures safe outings as well as providing fascinating information on Bali culture. The villa is a little bit away [5- 10mins drive] from the eateries of Echo Beach and Changgu but taxi's are so cheap it's hardly a.problem.. and for those who like a calm and peaceful setting this place is perfect. I big thank you to all at Pangi Gita who made our stay so relaxing and enjoyable
We couldn't believe the size and space of this villa - actually a collection of villas as each bedroom/bathroom/dressing room etc is its own villa; the dining room is in another building and the HUGE living room and media room are separate again. All connected by flowing water, paths, gardens down a hillside. I have stayed in villas surrounded by high walls but because of the slope and the beautiful garden, this villa seemed so spacious and endless.
The staff were so friendly and helpful - meals were arranged to suit us, the cleaning done without us really seeing. Everything was so luxurious and relaxed that some of us didn't really leave the villa for a week - none of us ate outside because Agus' cooking was so good!
Go - worth every cent.
Amazing place, sublime service, outstanding cuisine.... Thank you to Bella Putri, Mama Made, Chef Agus, cantik Ayu and the knowledgeable Dwi!

Considering Super Bowl is 2 days away I suppose I should post something that has to do with the big game (even though I care more about eating than the actual game). Courtesy of Martha Stewarts game day recipes, here is her All American Buffalo Chicken Tenders. Check out the recipe below:
- Prep Time25 minutes
- Total Time25 minutes
- YieldServes 4
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as safflower
- 1/3 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet, and transfer to oven. In a medium bowl, stir together blue cheese and 1/2 cup buttermilk. Season dip with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Place flour and remaining 1/2 cup buttermilk in separate medium bowls; season with salt and pepper. Set out another rimmed baking sheet alongside. Dip chicken in buttermilk (allowing excess to drip off), then in flour (shaking off excess); place on sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Working in batches, fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to rack in oven to keep warm.
- In a large bowl, stir together hot sauce and melted butter. Add chicken, and toss to coat. Serve tenders with blue-cheese dip.
Cook's Note
To keep mess to a minimum, use one hand to dip chicken in buttermilk and place in flour; with the other hand, toss, pick up, and place on sheet.
Enjoy! xo

TIFFANY – "I Think We're Alone Now"
Listening to it now, what strikes me most about "I Think We're Alone Now" is how discofied it is. Its clipped drums and chunky bass synths mean it starts like a low-rent "Always On My Mind", and it looks set to head down a similar hi-NRG path. Only a couple of the very mildest rock touches – that tiny organ flourish leading into the chorus, a very diffident bit of electric guitar over the coda – and its rather sluggish pace divert it.
Oh, and the way Tiffany Dawlish herself never lives up to the gusto of that opening – "Children behaaaaave". You hear that and you think she's going to belt the song out, grab onto of its urgency, ride its hormonal high stakes. Original singer Tommy James knew why being alone was a good idea: so most certainly did his band the Shondells, who play "I Think" with a hopping, blue-balled desperation. But that single-mindedness is missing from Tiffany's version and so her "alone" seems a little more academic. You don't really believe anything terribly naughty is going to happen, and actually the comforting swell of strings towards the end just seems to underline that Tiff's parents don't have a great deal to worry about: that trademark denim jacket is staying firmly on.
Teenpop stars are often accused of pushing a wholesome image to mask a less squeaky-clean reality, but actually remarkably few do: the people buying them want some level of glamour from even the most reputable star. This era is the larval stage of modern teenpop, but compared to 00s and 10s pop acts Tiffany seems quaint, hokey almost, and even at the time there was a sense of the amateur about her which served her quite well. Her record sleeves seemed defiantly basic, and all that homespun mythmaking about her touring malls was more endearing from her than similar gimmicks would be from anyone else after. Nothing wrong with the song either: it's very strong and always fakes me into thinking I enjoy the record more than I do. But for me song and singer don't really fit, and the arrangement drains the potential from both.

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, Rosie
Get well soon, Rosie
Best wishes and good thoughts to you, Rosie.
Get well soon, Rosie.
Thanks for the paging, MC.
I've only now had this opportunity to access Popular having been in Italy for a few days and then suffering loss of Internet at work.
The news about Rosie is most encouraging after what were truly alaming events. She was moved back from the Royal Preston to her local hospital in resplendant Barrow over the weekend and the last text I received mentioned something about a romance with a chocolate orange. She particularly forbade me from exchanging jokey obituaries with Erithian (whenever someone of note edges one to the keeper, he and I are on a race to get the gag in first) as she assures everyone that she doesn't intend to check out (of life) just yet.
I would like to thank everyone for your messages of support, which I have passed on to Rosie. Her contributions to the Popular project have been considerable and the bunfights with Marcello, in particular, entertaining for a variety of reasons. I'll let you all know when there is an update and copy this to whatever number one we are discussing at the time.
Cheers, everyone.
What are you all gawping at? Have you go enough work to do?
Carlin, my office. Now!
I've been AWOL (for all sorts of reasons to complicated to explain), but – phew! – it's great to scroll down, and have Rosamundo 'erself dishing out the orders, just a few minutes after first learning of the incident.
Hope the convalescence continues to go well.

The Hagley Library is pleased to announce the acquisition of the James W. Cortada Collection of Information Technology Publications. This collection consists of an estimated 5,000 titles on the general subject of computers, information technology, society, the internet, and the economic and business issues involving computers from the 1940s through 2017. The collection was shipped to Hagley in 167 boxes from Mr. Cortada's home in Wisconsin.
Cortada worked for IBM for over 38 years in various sales, consulting, management, and executive positions. He holds a Ph.D. from Florida State University and is a self-described first-generation historian of information technology.
He built this collection while writing his histories of the industry including such titles as: Before the Computer: IBM, NCR, Burroughs, and Remington Rand and the Industry they created, 1865-1956 (1993); The Digital Hand: How Computers Changed the Work of American Manufacturing (2004); Information and the Modern Corporation (2011); The Digital Flood: Diffusion of Information Technology across the United States, Europe, and Asia (2012); and All the Facts: A History of Information in the United States since 1870 (2016). His productivity speaks not only to his managerial acumen but also to his pragmatism.
"I'm not collecting fine art," he said. "I'm collecting the story of computing." Indeed, he collected to inform his thinking about who, why, and how the world managed information since the late nineteenth century.
Most of the boxes have not been opened yet, but areas of interest within this collection include manuals and books about information technology; trade business management books; books on the applications of computers; the economics of computing; materials dealing with the global history and use of computing; information society and social issues, internet and media studies; histories of corporations and biographies; and academic and trade histories of computing, telecommunications, and related technologies. The breadth of this collection will provide a foundation for Hagley to build upon while considering other collecting opportunities.
Processing such a large collection will keep our catalogers busy for quite some time, but the work had already begun to make this collection available to our researchers. You can follow our progress by searching for this collection within our online catalog, or you may contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
Max Moeller is the Curator of Published Collection at Hagley Museum and Library.

Do All Blacks need Squire?
WORLD CUP SPOTLIGHT: Tasman are backing their star loose forward Liam Squire to earn a re-call back into the All Blacks ahead of next month's World Cup.
Squire has made himself unavailable for international selection, ruling himself out of contention for the All Blacks' enlarged Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup squads.
Injury concerns and personal issues resulted in the 28-year-old playing just three times for the Highlanders in this year's Super Rugby campaign, and although he is now back to full fitness, Squire's off-field problems have kept him out of the national reckoning.
At the time of the 39-man Rugby Championship squad announcement, All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen lauded Squire's self-imposed exile after the 23-test star told him that he "didn't think he was ready" for international rugby.
Squire's time away from the All Blacks has seen him turn out for Tasman in the Mitre 10 Cup, with the Mako getting their 2019 season off to a flying start, registering emphatic wins over heavyweights Wellington and Canterbury in the competition's opening fortnight.
In his absence, the All Blacks had, up until last weekend, struggled to find a genuine option at blindside flank.
Squire's Highlanders teammate Shannon Frizell and Blues youngster Dalton Paplii were among the first few players to be culled when the All Blacks squad was cut from 39 players to 34, while Vaea Fifita is yet to impress after two mediocre performances against Argentina and South Africa.
Versatile test rookie Luke Jacobson turned heads in his brief All Blacks debut against the Pumas in Buenos Aires, but with limited international experience, it would be a risk to take the 22-year-old to Japan next month.
Ardie Savea, traditionally an openside who can cover No.8, has instead been utilised at blindside over the past two tests, and his combination with Sam Cane and captain Kieran Read in the back row struck a chord in the All Blacks' 36-0 dismantling of the Wallabies at Eden Park on Saturday.
Still, though, there remains no out-and-out option at No.6, and with Hansen set to name his 31-man All Blacks squad next Wednesday, Squire has been thrusted back into selection frame.
Five loose forwards are expected to be included in the side, with Savea, Cane and Read all certainties to make the cut.
Back-up openside Matt Todd should also be included, leaving just one spot open for either Squire, Fifita or Jacobson.
While he may again choose to not join the squad, Squire's experience and abrasive, confrontational style of play would be enough to fast-track him back into the squad should he opt to make himself available for selection, according to Tasman co-coach Andrew Goodman.
"He's playing well, you saw in the first week where he started for us and was man of the match he's playing well, he's physical around the field and doing everything right," he said.
"We all know he's good enough to be at the World Cup, is he's selected and if that's something he wants to do and that's going to be a conversation he'll have with those guys when they're both ready ready."
Squire will be expected to feature in Tasman's next clash against Manawatu in Blenheim on Saturday – the last time he will play before Hansen's World Cup squad is named.

With regards to front room decor, there are really no exhausting-and-fast guidelines. Which means that we should always contemplate the ceiling when planning our design for the house. The living room provides a charming nook Chair with a white shade that lights up and a novel glass table, living room has a really minimalist dimension but this front room feels spacious because of the window glass instantly overlooking the wild. You even have the possibility to add portions of textual content to the photographs so as to make notes, and detail what you liked most about your chosen pictures. Typical colours of futuristic design concepts are delicate grey, darkish white and furniture wooden.
This page will enable you to grasp which styles of décor you discover most appealing, and will give you hundreds of ideas in an effort to choose and select your favourite bits from the examples. That has led me to have a very cool craft room overstuffed with new supplies and things to re-goal. You possibly can try the ideas and get the most effective small front room design after doing the information above.
If you need a lamp that makes an actual assertion, there may be the Possini Euro Design Urban Coffee Torchiere Ground Lamp. I like each finishes, however the bronze is my favourite of the 2, I believe it appears to be like good in a room with darkish coloured furniture. For the centerpiece of a home equivalent to the living room or the kitchen, you can't go fallacious with a Tuscan theme. Made with hundreds of stacked cane rods, it has a very organic really feel to it, and would complement well an Asian or earth themed room.
Thankfully, on the size of home renovation initiatives, a living room transform can provide significant bang in your buck" as it does not require the identical monetary investment as a kitchen or toilet remodel. In dwelling rooms with high ceilings and a surprising view, the key to lounge decor is all about minimizing obstructions to that view and height.
While you put one tough-textured furnishings in a room stuffed with easy textured ones, you obtain distinction. A deeply coffered ceiling works in tandem with the cautious gridwork of shelving that flanks the hearth to define the house in bold, linear strokes. I have a 200 m2 lot and want that design very badly coz its matches the location and local weather here in baguio particularly nowadays. It's utilized in inside design to add life and interest to the furnishings in a room.

Product presentation is an effective tool to launch new products or roll out new promotions during holiday seasons. It is also a great instrument for e-mail marketing and online database marketing. It also helps to retain existing customers and attract new prospective clients.
Therefore a proper preparation is needed before you even start building your presentation. So ask yourself the following questions in advance:
1. Objective Action - What do you want to achieve at the end of your product presentation?
2. Target Audience - Whom are you giving the presentation to?
3. Orientation - How much does your audience know of your product and other similar products?
4. Target Presenter - What will be the way of delivering your presentation?
So jot down the points how you want to target your audience and let us know your strategy. We will build your presentation accordingly and if you have any questions or concern you we will be always there to support you. You can always refer to it later to make sure the presentation meets your objective.

skirt: shop dress up c/o | top: jcrew {on sale!} | shoes: jcrew {old; extremely similar here; shorter heel here} | clutch: gigi new york c/o | glasses: karen walker | rings: shop dress up c/o | earrings: jcrew {on sale!} | lips: 'sant germain' by mac
I've decided I don't own enough skirts like this one from Shop Dress Up. I often wear fitted pencil skirts to the office, but this skirt offers the perfect alternative to a sophisticated outfit with a sleek, soft and feminine flare.
(And you probably spotted my incorporation of blush pink + navy above… there will be more of that coming.)
I'm sure you also noticed that I skipped today's #FitnessFriday post. I'm considering moving the series to a bi-weekly cadence. Any hums, hahs, thoughts? While we think that over, wish me luck this weekend because I'm officially starting the Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide program (12 whole weeks!). I'll plan to share regular progress updates with you so you can watch (and hear about) my experience before you decide to try it for yourself (if you're looking for a new program to follow, that is). Never heard of Kayla? Consider this today's #FitnessFriday tip: Follow her on Instagram. Honestly, she's incredibly inspiring and so likable.
Be sure to come back Monday for an amazing giveaway with GiGi New York! Then you can get your very own navy clutch to pair with all your blush pink obsessions. 😉

The 4 Spaces at Home that Needs Regular Decluttering
The 4 Spaces at Home that Needs Regular Decluttering
One unopened mail seems harmless until they pile up into dozens of letters and reminders we can't seem to manage. These clutters aren't just found in the living room. They can also be found in your email and downloads folder in your desktop computer. It's time to get your life sorted out for a stress-free mind.
Eden Grace Maids Agency would like to share with you these 5 places that we need to declutter regularly. Some of them we have to declutter on our own and some can be taken care of by our Indonesian or Filipino maids.
We hope you'll find these helpful!
Here are the places we always need to declutter:
1. Mails
We all have that magazines we keep subscribing even though we don't need it. The best way to get rid of them is to, surprise, unsubscribe. Those magazines we don't have time to read is not just a waste of space but a waste of money.
When we have this bunch of mails in the house, the best way to manage it is to deal with it as soon as we receive it. Do we need to junk it or keep it? However, maids can't decide for us if we need to keep it or not. We need to set aside five minutes to sit down and read the mails ourselves.
For newspapers, we can ask the maid to put the daily newspaper to where it belongs: in the coffee table or the dining room? She can also be tasked to replace the paper every day to keep us updated.
2. Car
The family had a long drive from one city to another and the kids feasted on the snacks, leaving all the packaging and wrappers in the car. The best way to avoid the clutter is to strictly implement the rule "No carrying of garbage, no getting off." This is a good way to encourage discipline in the family instead of letting the maid do all the work.
General cleaning of the interior of the car may happen once a month or more. Kids spill their juice on the seat and that requires even more frequent cleaning, especially if we always carry pets in the car. Maids can help in vacuuming the leather interiors, seats, and carpets.
3. Wallets and pouches
If you buy something and always toss the receipt in your wallet until it's full of receipts, then it's time to declutter the wallet. On worst cases, people may confuse the receipts with money and vice versa. To save ourselves from humiliation of paying receipts, we better clean up the wallet. This time, decluttering it must be as frequent as every day!
4. Computers
Some people take ages just to look for a certain file in a folder. In a computer where we can transfer files in one click, files can easily get misplaced. As much as you need a clean work area in the office, you also need a clean desktop and a well-organized document folder.
Start working on the organization on one messy folder every day. We can start with the documents first or deleting the unnecessary files on the downloads folder. Everything doesn't happen overnight, but at least we have to start!
We also have to get rid of the unnecessary files and plug-ins because it can drag down our computer's performance.
Daily decluttering prevents the mess from accumulating. We hope these tips helped you in your organizing routines!
Consider hiring a maid to maintain a tidy household environment. Eden Grace Maids Agency offers manpower help that can carry out your family's daily organizing and household chores routines. You wouldn't have to worry about your household chores when you have someone trained and taught to take care of your household burdens!
Please contact us for a fuss free consultation with our unique personal screenings of our maids. We look forward to serving you.

Taoiseach in Kilkenny as work under way on new Brewhouse vision
Minister Eoghan Murphy is also in the city visiting new housing developments on the way
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is greeted on the Abbey Quarter site by Cathaoirleach Peter 'Chap' Cleere, Mayor Martin Brett, Minister of State John Paul Phelan, and Chief Executive Colette Byrne
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was in Kilkenny this morning to help launch a major refurbishment project at the old brewhouse building on Kilkenny's Abbey Quarter.
The building is to be brought back in to use as high grade office space, and will involve public realm enhancements and the creation of a new square close to. It is the first major project to be launched on the 12-acre Abbey Quarter site following its acquisition by Kilkenny County Council.
Mythen Construction has been contracted to bring the building back into use. The contract also provides for the upgrade to public realm along Horse Barrack Lane and the creation of Brewhouse Square to the rear of the Brewhouse building.
Chief Executive Officer of the Abbey Quarter Partnership Jason Clerkin has said he expects the building will be ready for fit-out by the summer of next year. By late autumn this year, it is hoped work to construct a riverside park and a new skatepark area will be under way.
The rest of the site, which fronts the River Nore, is earmarked for a number of public realm and public/private developments, including a new public library in the Mayfair.
Speaking at the launch, the Taoiseach said the project fitted in to the Government's vision to invest in more compact, sustainable, community-centred developments.
"Over €6 million has been granted to Kilkenny County Council to help achieve the vision for the Abbey Quarter, with the 800-year-old abbey as its stunning centrepiece, a new linear park running along the banks of the River Nore, and public realm works around the iconic brewhouse and Mayfair buildings, and the renovation of two 19th Century teahouses," he said.
Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council Peter 'Chap' Cleere said it was fantastic to see activity on the site.
"I acknowledge it has been frustrating for the general public over the last while wondeirng when they would see physical progress on the site," he said.
"I am confident over the next 12 to 18 months, the public will see much more activity and will be able to see the work progress on the Abbey Quarter for themselves."

Hello my sweet Dorthe, I just NEEDED to hop over and visit you on your blog. My time was so busy with my mum having been around (and it will be even busier with my parents-in-law staying with us) that I had not much time for creating nor visiting blogland so often.
I am happy to see that you spend a lot of time with your family, your photos always show happy faces, if the weather is good or bad.
Your colourful blossoms enlighten my heart and sing a song of spring and growth! And your work in progress is just beautiful, as always! I lovelovelove your collages, my dear friend!
As I get going preparing for our guestrooms, I will leave you for now with my best wishes and heartfelt hugs! See you soon, my dearest Dorthe! Manu

These days, I find myself hearing more and more about the illuminati and their conspiracy to take over the world. Famous people, movie stars and music artists are producing devilish productions and flashing hand signs and and other shmite around openly showing their affiliation with this mega powerful secret organization that controls the world, killing all who attempt to remove themselves from the club and speak up about it. So, while this may or may not be a real thing, I must say, there are a lot of hand signs and other symbolism and imagery flying around, sometimes literally. But … I mean. It just reminds me of when I was little and between one of two of my girlfriends we'd start a 'club', and part of that process was to get other girls to join our club. We'd choose a tree to be our club house, and during lunch breaks we'd gather under that tree and keep ourselves busy with our self-made activity books which included word searches, coloring in pictures, and corny jokes. And then after a week, a rivalry would erupt within the club and one of the friends would start another club and take half or more or less of the members over. And there would be like a cold war between the clubs. Its cute.
Ok so maybe its not like this really because there is supposed to be money and incredible power over the world involved with people having allegedly died for standing against it. The oddest thing for me about it in this day and age is that they use devilish symbolism. From the old belief in the devil. These uber modern folk. And what that's supposed to accomplish I'm not sure. I guess maybe to win them sponsors and networking partners. Ok, I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I think the part that makes this successful, is that we, who do not necessarily identify with the devilish things, reward all their investments by falling for the glitz and glam and trendy devilishness, and throw our hard earned pennies at them, making the club more and more wealthy and powerful. So I guess they are just cashing in on our sheepish stupidity.

I just finished watching the last night of the 2012 Republican National Convention. Although the talk today is mostly about the speech by Clint Eastwood (who conversed with an empty chair) and the speech by Mitt Romney himself, I thought that the most powerful moments of the convention were when Romney's Mormon friends talked about Romney's kindness and generosity towards them and their families, especially in hard times. My favorite speech was that of Pam Finalyson, which you can watch here. Pam's speech was emotional, heart-felt, authentic, and moving----and it had the most impact on me of any other speech at the convention.
pundits who were covering the convention at PBS were remarking about
how the speeches by everyday people were the most powerful at the
convention. David Brooks was saying that it is political malpractice
for Romney not to have told us these stories until now.
Instead, because Romney is reportedly reticent and humble about his
deeds of service, he has not talked much about them, and that has
allowed many voters to feel that they do not know who Mitt Romney truly
is, and it has permitted his detractors to define him as cold,
heartless, and against women.
this was the best night of the convention----notwithstanding the weird
Clint Eastwood speech. Romney was seeking to define himself. There
were people featured at the convention who owned businesses that were
helped by Bain Capital----as Bain stuck by them and helped them to turn
around amidst hard times. A liberal Democrat who worked in Mitt
Romney's cabinet when he was governor, Jane Edmonds, talked about
Romney's appointment of many women (see here). And there was a moving video about Mitt's relationship with his wife, his sons, and his father, George (see here). I was especially amused by how Mitt tried to save money on light-bulbs!
I vote for Romney? Probably not. I do not trust a candidate whose
running mate proposed a budget that would cut Pell grants, to use an
example. (UPDATE: See here for a critique of the claim that Ryan's budget cuts Pell grants.) Moreover, even if Mitt Romney himself is a kind man
and has done progressive things, I do not think that the policies that
he supports will have a positive impact on the country. But he did well
to define himself last night, and I hope that what was said remains a
part of the political discourse, as much as I want Barack Obama to win.

Condotel Property Management in Waikiki, Honolulu, HI
Posted on Friday, January 14th, 2011 at 1:02pm.
Condotel Property Management in Waikiki, Honolulu, HI
There are quite a few condominium buildings located in Waikiki that also operate as hotels. For those condo owners who choose to place their condo in the hotel rental pool, a good Property Management Company is very, very important.
There are primarily two major organizations that manage the vast number of condotels in Waikiki and Honolulu................ Aston Properties and Aqua Hotels and Resorts.
On www.BreatkingTravelNews.com, there was a recent article, "Aqua grows Hawaiian hotel portfolio", that describes some of the more recent properties they managed and have acquired. Please follow the links to read more.
Mahalo For Reading.
