Clark Fork Jr/Sr High School teacher KC MacDonald wanted to do something to help after Hurricane Harvey. With the help of students at his own school and others in the district, he decided to raise and send school supplies to a school in need.
"When I started this project, I thought I would only get a couple of boxes, (and) send the stuff by mail and surprise some school," he said.
But 500 pounds of school supplies later, his idea had grown into something entirely different. When sending the supplies by mail was no longer an option, a new step in the idea materialized: get together a network of veterans to drive the supplies in a U-Haul from Idaho to Texas.
"It is amazing what people will do to help others," Mac said. "I am changed forever by the thought that crazy ideas can become a reality."
MacDonald was in Houston at Jessup Elementary when the school supplies were delivered. He said the compassion he and his students wanted to convey was apparent to Jessup's students and staff.
"It is not about markers, pencils or paper," MacDonald said. "They know people from all over the United States care about them and what they went through."
CFHS's students received updates as the school supplies made their journey, and MacDonald said the seriousness of their act of kindness was not lost on them.
"I have seen some things from our students that have blown my mind," MacDonald said.
MacDonald said he hopes to visit Jessup Elementary "from time to time."
"I invited them all to come visit our little piece of heaven," he added.

All Scots to have first vaccine by July 18 and both doses by mid September
All Scots over 18 will have been given a vaccine by July 18, Nicola Sturgeon has said, with all second doses due by mid-September.
It comes after the First Minister announced on Tuesday that all adults will have received an appointment notification by the end of next week.
The previous target date for all appointments to be offered was July 31.
The First Minister told a Covid-19 briefing on Friday: "We have indicated all along that we expected to have offered first doses to all adults by the end of July… All appointments for all adults should be with people by the end of next week, so you can see that the programme is going faster than we previously anticipated.
Most Popular
"I'm also pleased to confirm that we now expect to have completed fist doses for all adults by the 18th of July.
"Again, faster progress than we thought might be possible just even a few weeks ago."
The vaccination programme has recently accelerated in Scotland, with the gap between first and second doses shortened from 12 to eight weeks.
When asked when second doses will be completed, the First Minister said: "Eight weeks from that takes us to mid-September, which is when we would hope that we will be on track to complete second doses."
She added: "The caveat I've got to put in there is that is dependent on us having the supply to do that – but we are wanting to give second doses eight weeks after first doses.
"So if we're going to complete first doses by the middle of July then eight weeks after that is when – all things permitting – we would hope thereabouts to be completing second doses as well."
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said he is "delighted" at the acceleration of the programme.
He said: "I want to stress how important it is that everyone takes up their offer of a vaccine when they get it. The emergence of the Delta variant shows we cannot be complacent, and the vaccination programme – along with restrictions and testing – offers protection to you, your loved ones and your community."

Full discolosure, the only experience I have with Constantine is the movie with Keanu Reeves, which personally I enjoy. It was a fun romp through a story of demons, angels, and other vaguely religious aspects. Last Friday the tv show Constantine premiered and David and I were both excited about it. Now when the show was announced of course we got articles detailing how it would follow the comics or not. Since I have not read the comics I do not have that to base on I just have what I know from these articles and from the movie. So far what I have seen I am enjoying it and I like where it might head.
The first episode does a good job of introducing us to a lot of different paths for the show to follow, which is good. Some of the problems with shows can be if they do not give you enough meat to sink your teeth into it can easily lose your interest. Constantine gives us plenty to sink our teeth into. The big thing is that there seems to be some big bad brewing in the underground, which the other side wants help with as well. The other piece is that we discover a mistake that Constantine made that cost a little girl her soul, which definitely feels like something that is going to keep coming up because I can't imagine he is going to stop looking for a way to help her. The other piece is that they gave us a good introduction to the various supernatural elements that we will see throughout the show. (Spoilers for Constantine after the jump.) Continue reading

[Live Webinar] Smart Cities: Hong Kong & Trikala in the Post-COVID Era
Imagine a post-COVID era. Are you future-proof? Smart cities are and already showing their strength against the pandemic. Want to know how?
When and where
Date and time
About this event
The rise of AI technologies, smart energy grids, 5G networks, and smart transportation networks have been changing daily life in the public realm for the better. Most recently, governments have been deploying smart city technologies in the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic while preparing for what we call the "new normal" in a post-COVID-19 era. The need for co-creation and cooperation between different actors of the ecosystem, namely government, businesses, and academia is imperative.
The growth of smart cities has brought strategic opportunities for Hong Kong, Asia's financial hub, and Trikala, Greece's first smart city. Notwithstanding their differences in population, economic structure, and problems faced, the two cities share their strong commitment to smart city development.
How do they respond to challenges and emerging opportunities that lie ahead post-COVID? The Greek Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and the Division of Public Policy (PPOL) of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) bring together the two cities in a webinar on smart cities. Senior representatives from academia, government, and private sector will share their insight and discuss:
a. The role of smart cities in a post-COVID-19 era
b. The smart city strategies of Hong Kong and Trikala
c. Lessons that can be learned from the two cities
d. Possible synergies between different science, public and private sector
Everyone is welcome!
Date: Oct 27, 2020
Time: 6.00-7.30PM Hong Kong time (GMT+8) / 12.00-1.30PM Greece time (GMT+3)

Board of Overseers of the Bar v. Suzanne Dwyer-Jones, Esq.
Download Download Decision (PDF)
Docket No.: GCF #17-138
Issued by: Grievance Commission
Date: November 18, 2019
Respondent: Suzanne Dwyer-Jones, Esq.
Bar Number: 008638
Order: Reprimand
Disposition/Conduct: Communication, Prejudicial Conduct
M. Bar R. 13(e)
On November 8, 2019 with due notice, Panel B of the Grievance Commission conducted a public disciplinary hearing pursuant to Maine Bar Rule 13(e), concerning misconduct by the Respondent, Suzanne Dwyer-Jones, Esq. The Board of Overseers of the Bar (the Board) commenced this proceeding by the March 20, 2019 filing of a Stipulated Disciplinary Petition. The initial sanction hearing occurred on August 28, 2019. While the parties were then in agreement, the Commission declined to accept their negotiated order, without the addition of a mentoring component. Following a period of time for further negotiation and scheduling, the final hearing was set for November 8.
At that hearing, Attorney Dwyer-Jones was represented by counsel, Attorney Charles W. Smith, and the Board was represented by Bar Counsel Aria Eee. Although the Clerk provided complainant, John A. Penta, with notice of this action, he did not appear.
Prior to the scheduled hearing date, the parties notified the Clerk that they had negotiated a proposed settlement of the disciplinary matter. The proposed sanction report was submitted to the Clerk for the Commissions advanced review and consideration. Bar Counsel also provided Mr. Penta with a copy of the parties proposed Stipulated Report in advance of the stipulated hearing.
Having reviewed the agreed, proposed findings as presented by counsel, the Grievance Commission Panel makes the following disposition:
Respondent Suzanne Dwyer-Jones, Esq. (Attorney Dwyer-Jones) has been at all times relevant hereto an attorney duly admitted to and engaging in the practice of law in the State of Maine. As such, Attorney Dwyer-Jones is subject to the Maine Bar Rules and the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct (M.R.P.C.). Attorney Dwyer-Jones was admitted to the Maine Bar in 1998 and she is currently practicing in a small York County firm.
According to the parties stipulations, the Panel finds the following relevant facts:
On March 29, 2019, John A. Penta filed a complaint against Attorney Dwyer-Jones regarding her personal and professional conduct. Contemporaneously with his Maine complaint filing, Mr. Penta complained to the Massachusetts Bar about Attorney Dwyer-Jones alleged misconduct.
Attorney Dwyer-Jones filed a response to the Maine grievance matter, denying any professional misconduct. She subsequently filed a response to the Massachusetts action.
As it related to the underlying proceeding, Mr. Penta retained Attorney Dwyer-Jones for a criminal case then pending in the Lowell District Court in Massachusetts. There was a $1,000 flat fee agreement between Attorney Dwyer-Jones and Mr. Penta governing the representation. At that time however, Attorney Dwyer-Joness Massachusetts license was administratively suspended for her failure to register with that jurisdiction. Because she was apparently unaware of her suspension, Attorney Dwyer-Jones did not initiate a request to have her license reinstated with the Massachusetts Bar until December 30, 2016. Thus, by that time she was scheduled to appear on Mr. Pentas behalf, she was not properly licensed, a fact Attorney Dwyer-Jones concedes. The Massachusetts Bar subsequently reinstated Attorney Dwyer-Joness license on January 18, 2017.
Due to the Massachusetts Bars investigation, Maine Bar Counsel stayed the Penta complaint matter until Massachusetts completed its work. Following continued interaction with Maine Bar Counsel, Attorney Dwyer-Jones ultimately acknowledged that it was improper for her to have accepted the new representation of Mr. Penta. In doing so, Attorney Dwyer-Jones agrees that she engaged in professional misconduct, specifically M. R. Prof. Conduct 1.4[communication with clients], and 8.4(d)[prejudicial conduct]. Attorney Dwyer-Jones further agrees that on occasion, her interactions with Mr. Penta were too informal, and exceeded the bounds of suitable attorney/client communications.
The Maine Rules of Professional Conduct specifically require attorneys to uphold their responsibilities to clients and the courts. Attorney Dwyer-Jones agrees that she violated her duties to comply with those Rules.
The Panel notes that the purpose of bar disciplinary proceedings is not punishment, but rather the protection of the public from attorneys who, by their conduct, have demonstrated that they are unable to properly discharge their professional duties. Since the evidence supports a finding and Attorney Dwyer-Jones agrees that she did in fact violate the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct, the Grievance Commission must now issue an appropriate sanction. Pursuant to M. Bar R. 13(e)(6)(8), prior to imposing a sanction, the Commission has considered the existence or absence of any prior sanction record.
The Commission relies on Maine Bar Rule 21(c) for guidance as to the proper factors to consider and apply in the issuance of an appropriate disciplinary sanction. Maine Bar Rule 21 states as follows:
(c) Factors to be Considered in Imposing Sanctions. In imposing a sanction after a finding of lawyer misconduct, the Single Justice, the Court, or the Grievance Commission panel shall consider the following factors, as enumerated in the ABA Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions:
(1) whether the lawyer has violated a duty owed to a client, to the public, to the legal system, or to the profession;
(2) whether the lawyer acted intentionally, knowingly, or negligently;
(3) the amount of the actual or potential injury caused by the lawyers misconduct; and
(4) the existence of any aggravating or mitigating factors.
In this matter, Attorney Dwyer-Jones agrees that her misconduct violated duties that she owed to her client and to the profession. However, the Commission does not find that Attorney Dwyer-Jones acted with the intent to harm her clients interests.
Regarding aggravating factors, Attorney Dwyer-Jones has received prior discipline and she has substantial experience in the practice of law. In mitigation, Attorney Dwyer-Jones has admitted her misconduct, has expressed remorse for that misconduct and has been cooperative throughout the investigation and prosecution of this matter. She also refunded a substantial part of Mr. Pentas legal fees.
Taking all of the above factors into consideration, and consistent with the analysis outlined in M. Bar R. 21(c), the Commission finds that a Public Reprimand is the appropriate sanction to address the misconduct by Attorney Dwyer-Jones. The Panel also finds that it is appropriate for Attorney Dwyer-Jones to continue the behavioral health counseling she has voluntarily undertaken and for there to be formal law office management mentoring by Attorney Linda A. Maloy. The mentoring period shall last one year from the effective date of this order.
Accordingly, the Commission accepts the agreement of the parties, including Attorney Dwyer-Jones separately executed waiver of the right to file for a Petition for Review, and concludes that the appropriate disposition of this case is a Reprimand to Suzanne Dwyer-Jones, Esq. which is now hereby issued and imposed upon her pursuant to M. Bar R. 13(e)(10)(C) and 21(b)(5).

Following the announcement of all-to-all trading on its US Credit platform, Tradeweb Europe will also be launching the functionality in H2 2017.
The system, 'Blast A2A', is intended to provide investors with an efficient way to request liquidity from a broader set of price makers, and will be integrated with regional liquidity providers.
Market-operator Tradeweb has reported trading activity in European spread products / eurobonds reached €73.8 billion in the first quarter of 2017, beating Q1 2016 by 22.3% and previous record-holder Q1 2015 by 21.5%. Volume executed in European credit surpassed €38.32 billion, up 21.4% from Q1 2016.
March 2017 was also the third consecutive record month for the Tradeweb European Credit platform, with more than €14.17 billion in notional volume, up 10.2% from February 2017 and 51.6% year on year. Tradeweb reported that one-sided axes posted by dealers on its Eurobond platform peaked at more than €100 billion in Q1 2017, up 50% year on year. Over the same time period, the number of axes – which link pre-trade information with trade execution – nearly doubled to reach 18,888.
Tradeweb recently introduced Blast RFQ, a mechanism for trading and sourcing liquidity on multiple smaller transactions in European credit, enabling clients to send enquiries to all of their liquidity providers simultaneously. Blast RFQ can be combined with existing FlexRFQ functionality, a feature which allows users to replace non-quoting dealers without shutting down their initial inquiry, restricting trade information leakage.

Lesson Horses:
Baily is a lovely bay Thoroughbred mare who was born in 2013. She had a year off, and now she is back to work in the lesson program.
Bentley came to the farm as a project horse for Mrs. Sheridan and after working with him some we decided to use him in the lesson program. He is a 16.1 hand TB and was born in 2001. He has now been in the program for years and we just love him. Bentley has one of the more challenging trots and jumps. He is very bouncy and will test your leg position. He does have a fantastic canter and is very sweet!
Buddy is a black quarter horse gelding and a favorite among the beginner lesson students. Born in 1997, Buddy has years of experience imparting the love of horses. He is a steady guy!
Carter is a sweet young gelding who is already nothing short of saintly! He is an easy guy who loves to 'cart' his students over fences. We all love him already.
Champion is a grey Selle Francis gelding who is currently on lease to one of our lesson students. While he may be a little looky, he is amazing over fences if you keep a good leg.
Colonel is a bay thoroughbred gelding born in 2008. Colonel is suitable for our intermediate lesson students.
Dylan is a 1997 Quarter horse and is 16 hands. He loves to jump and is one of the favorite school horses for many of the students. He is still jumping over 3'6" fences and will do his lead changes for anyone. He is easy enough for a beginner rider to enjoy but exciting enough for the advanced riders as well. Dylan has gone to many shows competing in equitation classes and jumper classes.
Espirit is a 15.1 hand 2001 Thoroughbred. She has a trot that feels like you are floating on clouds and a dream of a canter. She came to THF straight off the track and when you ride her you know why she didn't make it as a race horse. Espirit is gentle, kind and a little slow. She is very willing to please and loves to jump. Since her time at THF she has been to many shows and has won the students lots of ribbons.
Fancy Pants is a homebred Irish Draft Thoroughbred cross. She is actually Finesse's sister. She is an extremely good jumper with amazing bravery and speed. We like to say that she is "allergic to wood" because she does her best to never knock a poll.
Finesse is another homebred mare. She is used for our more advanced students. She offers the experience of a more powerful jump to our riders.
Frankie is a 1996 Hannoverian and is 16.2 hands tall. He is the gentleman of all horses. He carries himself around like he is wearing a suit and tie. He has the most comfortable canter of all the horses and when you ride him it is like sitting on a couch. He competed as a Jr Hunter in his day and still jumps around 3' like there is nothing to it. His trot is smooth but springy. Frankie can sometimes be a little difficult to catch in the field so you better bring a treat.
Gilly is a small quarter horse mare who was born in 2005. She is a good pony who loves to jump. Her stride is a bit choppy, but she is loads of fun.
Gizmo is a black pony who positively loves to jump. He has a large jump and is great fun for all our students.
Hannah is a 1995 Quarter Horse who is 16 hands tall. She came to THF for one of Mrs. Kim's students and when the student needed to move on to a horse to do jumpers, she became a school horse. Hannah has choppy gate when you ride her but is very pretty to watch. She jumps amazing and her knees are in perfect form. She also goes to lots of shows and has won more that we can list.
Jenny is a 1997 TB mare. She is 15.3 hands tall and came to THF in 2007 from Fair Weather Farm in Maryland where she was a school horse. Jenny doesn't like to be left in the cross ties and will move around a lot when left tied, however when she gets to the arena she is in her element and knows what to do. She is easy off the leg and loves to jump. Jenny has gone to many schooling shows and loves to win ribbons.
Jet is a small black pony who is a barn favorite. He is wonderful with the beginner lesson students, and has taught several how to jump.
Kitkat is a newer face to Tally Ho Farms. She is a young TB who is learning how to become a lesson horse. She is a very cute mare with a very cute jump and promising future.
Magic is an appaloosa born in 1991 and she is 15 hands tall. She is all the little girl's favorite horse. She is very easy and is happy to help all the riders learn to ride. Magic is easy to make go, smooth in her gaits and stays on the rail very nicely. She is kind and sweet. Magic is another one that many students learn to how to canter for the first time on. Although we get asked all the time if she is pregnant Magic is not having any more babies. Magic is Diablo's mother.
Mandy came to THF with Carter and is a wonderful lesson pony. She is a sweet mare who is enjoying her job.
Max was born in 1998 and stands 14.1 hands. He is a black and white pony that was purchased for one of Mrs. Kim's students. Max was ridden by all the kids in the family and when they out grew him he became a school horse for THF. Max is a jumping machine. He just loves his job and has gone to many shows competing in equitation, hunters and jumper classes. Max has a bouncy trot and a big canter stride for a pony.
Mercie is a 1998 American Warmblood and is 16.2 hands tall. He was purchased by accident. One day at a show, the owner was having trouble because Mercie doesn't like to jump the water jump and Mrs. Kim said he just needed a new job and the owner said "what will you give for him?". It was the best purchase ever and Mercie has been a wonder school horse. He can jump big courses and has gone to many more shows to compete in Equitation and Hunter classes. Mercie is a little slow and it takes some strong legs to ride him.
Mocha is a 1995 16.1 hand thoroughbred. She was also owned by a family at the barn and when they needed to move up to a different horse so Mrs. Kim got another good school horse. Mocha has competed in many shows from eventing, equitation, hunters and jumpers. She is a forward thinking horse in a good way and makes very nice turns in the jumper arena. She takes a rider with a calm leg and good upper body position.
Molly was born in 2000 and is a very cute, easy pony to ride. She has been at THF for many years and started off with one of Mrs. Sheridan's students. When she went up for sale the barn purchased her for a school pony and we are very lucky. Molly is smooth, easy to make go and loves to go to the shows. Molly went on the show circuit one summer and traveled to 5 different states competing. Molly can jump 3' even though she looks small.
Money is a Quarter Horse Thoroughbred cross and is 16.2 hands tall. Money was born at THF in 2006. He was a surprise when we purchased his mother as a school horse and found out she was pregnant. Money started teaching the day he was born and was a project during summer clinic one year for all the students to help break him out to be ridden. He is now a seasoned professional and has done very well at "AA" competitions. He has a canter like glass and a perfect eye to the fence.
Nugget is a 2014 TB mare. She is 15.2 hands, and a fun lesson horse for the intermediate-advanced students. She has a go button and prefers light hands.
Pistol is a 2008 Quarter Horse and is 15.3 hands tall. Pistol joined THF in 2015 when Mrs. Kim purchased him as a project horse. He has learned to jump and how to change leads and is doing very well. We started to use him in the school program in 2016 for advanced students and he is also leased. Pistol loves to jump and is learning what all the people want him to do. He is going to make a great lesson horse.
Pride was born at THF in 2004. He is an Irish Draft gelding standing 16.1 hands. Pride was started here on the farm with the help of Cheyenne and also has gone to many shows, both schooling and "A" shows. He loves to jump and is also good on cross country jumping. Pride can be a little strong and is usually ridden by the older students. If you have a chance to ride him he will teach you about having an outside rein.
Shooter is a 1996 15.2 hand Quarter Horse who came to THF many years ago with a student of Kim's. He was a ranch horse at the student's grandfather's ranch and they decided he could learn to jump. And did he ever learn to jump! He loves to jump and is a school horse that will teach you confidence. He is also very good on the trails. Shooter is easy to spot because he has a short tail.
Sinbad is a 2004 paint quarter horse pony standing 14.1. He was a rescue horse that was treated for mange when he was younger. Once he was healthy Kim purchased him and began to work with him to become a school horse. He is a little quick and jumps great. He teaches students to use their seats and to work on the pony gallop. Sinbad is still not trusting around his head and you must earn his trust to put a bridle on him. We feel lucky to have given Sinbad a wonderful home.
Star was born at THF in 2000 and is a Cleveland Bay. She is one of the largest school horses standing 18.1 hands. She has always had a wonderful temperament and was schooled when she was very green by many of the advanced students. She started off showing in the hunter arena and then moved on to do jumpers going as high as 4'. She has been leased many times over the years and gives all the students the experience to ride something very big. Once you ride Star everything else seems like a pony.
Stetson is a 1995 black Welsh gelding standing 15 Hands tall. He is a jumping machine and was at the barn when Kim and Dale purchased THF. He was owned by many students over the years and has taught them to ride and won many ribbons for them in the equitation classes and jumper classes. Kim purchased him in 2014 and he has been a wonderful addition to the school program. If you get to ride Stetson, you should be ready to have fun jumping.
Sterling is a grey TB gelding with an amazing jump. He is a favorite with the lesson students because he is so willing and forgiving over the jumps.
Surprise was born in 2001 at THF also and is the foal of one of our passed school horses Sadie. She too is a Cleveland Bay and is the half-sister to Star. We were hoping Surprise would be a pony but she has grown just like star and is now a horse, but she is only 14.3 hands. She is a beautiful mover and wins the hack at most shows. She also has a "10" jump but you will learn to keep your heels down to stay with her. She doesn't care for the riders to pull on her mouth and is sometimes hard to catch but you will have fun riding her.
Timmy is a bay homebred gelding. He is currently on lease to a lesson student. He is a sweet boy with a fantastic jump.
Vino is a sweet bay dutch warmblood mare. She is a fabulous jumper who makes jumping feel effortless.
Whinny is a bay mare who is very spirited. She is used for our more advanced lesson students. She's got a fantastic jump, but is very sensitive.
Lease Horses:

Jeff Gorton, GM of the New York Rangers, has his biggest decision for his Restricted Free Agent, Ryan Strome. Strome put up a career high in points and assists this past season on the ice. He is a solid Center who has decent playmaking skills, but needs to improve on consistent face-off wins and to limit his penalties. During his career with the NHL (including his time with the Rangers), Strome has a career faceoff win average of 45.9%.
Strome was drafted by the New York Islanders in the first round of the 2011 draft and spent four years with the organization. He was then sent to Edmonton Oilers in 2017 and then traded to the Rangers in November of 2018. Currently, the Rangers are on very thin ice with their Center core as none of their Centers finished over the 50% win percentage in faceoffs. So knowing that Strome is one of the Rangers' stronger faceoff men, keeping him around would be a good fit.
Strome also carried a 59 point total in the 2019-20 season playing alongside Artemi Panarin and Jesper Fast. Strome and Panarin were like bread and butter this past season as their chemistry together was very strong. In addition to his 59 point total, Strome had a +21 rating.
Prior to joining the Rangers, Strome agreed to terms with the Edmonton Oilers on a $6.2 million, two-year deal. Now that his contract is up, Strome is looking for an extension with the Rangers and that will take a large chunk out of the Rangers salary cap. Strome also had something to say about his possible future with the Rangers: "I let my agent know what I want to do, I guess we'll see what happens…this kind of team, with where it's going, I want to be a part of it."
With the Rangers possibly nearing a deal with the 27 year-old Forward, a too rich of an offer could hurt their cap due to their current flat cap situation. A shorter term deal, however, with the Rangers could be a better fit. My prediction would be a three-year contract worth $4.8 million.

BF Homes Paranaque is possibly one of the biggest gated communities in the Philippines. In fact, the subdivision is so big, those not familiar with the area can get lost inside quite easily. Ever since the community was ordered to open its gate to public motorists, traffic in the area has also gotten worse over the years. In a bid to improve the traffic situation in the area, Barangay BF Homes will start implementing a new traffic scheme in the area.
One of the largest gated communities south of Metro Manila, BF Homes in Paranaque, hopes to improve the traffic situation in the area with a new traffic scheme.
For motorists entering BF Homes from Sucat, President's Ave. will now be two-way up to Elizalde St. All vehicles coming from President's Ave. going to BF Homes and commercial areas must then turn right at Elizalde Ave. Meanwhile, Elizalde Ave. starting from Caltex/BDO will be one-way going towards the Elizalde Gate. Vehicles with valid BFFHAI Non-Resident stickers coming from Sucat will have to turn left on Elsie Gatches St. from Elizalde St., then turn right on Aguirre Ave. and pass through Aguirre Gate. Meanwhile, vehicles without a BFFHAI sticker must turn left on L. Avelino St. then turn right at Aguirre Ave. towards Aguirre Gate.
For those exiting BF Homes, residents going to Sucat and exiting from Elizalde Gate must turn right at J. Cabarrus St. and turn left at President's Ave. and continue on towards their destination. Meanwhile, all other vehicles exiting BF Homes coming from Aguirre Ave. heading towards Sucat will then turn left at President's Ave. President's Ave. starting from Tropical Hut will be made one-way heading towards Elizalde St. (Caltex).
Thankfully, BF Homes has released a map to make this new traffic scheme easier to understand.
According to a memo released by Barangay BF Homes, all traffic going to Sucat will be rerouted to President's Ave. in order to avoid congestion at the corner of Elizalde St. and President's Ave. Furthermore, a stop-and-go traffic scheme will be implemented during rush hours. New directional signs have been put up to make it easier for motorists to traverse the area.
Trial run of the new traffic scheme inside BF Homes Paranque starts today, February 24, 2020. Full implementation will begin on February 26.

- The Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA
IEEE 1588 PTP enables time and frequency synchronization over Ethernet and IP networks. Existing network infrastructure can be utilized, but for optimal performance, switches and routers must be upgraded to PTP-aware models.
PTP port
Napatech SmartNICs can connect to PTP networks via the external RJ45 time synchronization connector, on the NT200A02 and NT100A01 SmartNICs, or, on other SmartNICs, via the RJ45 10/100BASE-T PTP port on the external time synchronization connector. Connection to a PTP network is not supported over the data ports.
PTP version
The NT SmartNICs only comply with IEEE 1588-2008 PTP v2.
Master and slave
A Napatech SmartNIC can be configured to operate as a PTP slave in a PTP network to synchronize the SmartNIC time stamp clock to a PTP grandmaster.
A Napatech SmartNIC cannot operate as a PTP grandmaster in a PTP network.
PTP profiles
PTP PDV filter
Napatech SmartNICs implement a PDV (packet delay variation) filter for use in telecommunication networks (see PDV filter).
PTP minimum filter
Napatech SmartNICs implement a minimum filter, which is used for filtering out outliers in networks that are not completely PTP-aware (see Minimum filter).
PTP packet delay asymmetry compensation
Napatech SmartNICs have support for network delay asymmetry correction as specified in the IEEE 1588-2008 specification (see PTP delay asymmetry compensation).
PTP information
NT_INFO_CMD_READ_PTP in the information stream contains information about PTP port status, PTP clock data sets and PTP configuration (see DN-0449).
PTP over Ethernet/LAN provides flexible distribution of time and frequency information, and in most cases PTP is easier to deploy than PPS signal distribution. PTP time synchronization is an obvious option where PTP is already deployed. Combined with SyncE, PTP provides superior synchronization precision.

An Appalachian Summer – Ann H. Gabhart – Revell – Published 30 June 2020
My thoughts
An Appalachian Summer is an atmospheric novel about the frontier nurses of the Appalachian Mountains, women couriers, and life and love in the in 1930s. With romance aplenty, adventure and lighthearted moments, An Appalachian Summer is a light and easy book to enjoy.
Piper is grateful her family has weathered the crash of the economy so well, even if it means she must go ahead with her Debut Ball. Being pressured by her father to accept an engagement to Braxton Crandall and heartbroken over the silence she is receiving from her best friend and keeper of her heart Jamie Russel, Piper seizes upon the opportunity to join the frontier nursing courier service in the Appalachian Mountains. From the journey there, to the surprises in store for her, it is all a great adventure. She just wants to forget men and romance for a summer, which is fine until a mystery man from her aunt's past re-emerges, Jamie follows her all the way to the mountains and she must decide where her heart and future will lay.
Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, this is a novel that mixes the past with more modern ideas of women's liberation and a changing society. I sometimes forgot the time setting and had to do a double take at some of the more casual language and use of jeans and such.

The two candidates in Maine's 2nd Congressional District clashed on the future of health care and split on the issue of state and local aid in the next coronavirus stimulus bill in their first debate on Thursday night.
The contest between freshman U.S. Rep. Jared Golden and former state Rep. Dale Crafts of Lisbon in the swing district in Maine's northern population half has been drowned out by a high-profile U.S. Senate race. Golden, a Democrat, has opened up a wide polling and fundraising lead over Crafts in the race to date.
It means that the pressure is on Crafts with less than three weeks until Election Day. He has aligned himself with President Donald Trump, who has endorsed him and won the district handily in 2016, while Golden has gathered cross-party support in the district, with 22 percent of Republicans supporting him in a poll released Thursday.
That was evident in how the incumbent has changed his approach on health care. Golden co-sponsored a 2019 bill that would have created a "road map" to Medicare for All that never made it to the floor. He has backed off from that kind of a measure, now favoring a buy-in option similar to that proposed by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Golden focused largely during the debate, hosted by WABI and WAGM, on efforts he has supported to cap prescription drug costs for seniors, and rebuked Crafts for wanting to get rid of the Affordable Care Act because it is the law that protects people with pre-existing conditions from being denied coverage.
"It was not affordable for them to carry insurance," Golden said of the time before the law.
Crafts maintained that he supports protecting people with those conditions and the free-market style of health insurance he supports is the best route to more affordable insurance.
"Government-run health care is not the answer," he said.
The candidate's stances on health care mirror arguments made the first time Golden ran for Congress, but the context has changed. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments in a case challenging the individual mandate portion of the Affordable Care Act in November, which could result in the act being thrown out altogether.
The two also broke on what any future federal coronavirus aid should look like, although they both agreed the conversations around relief have been too partisan. Crafts largely supported the first aid package passed by Congress in March, but has spoken out against the extra $600 in weekly unemployment benefits.
He said any future aid should be focused on additional support for businesses and not bailing out "these failed states that have not run their own regular business, their state budgets."
Golden disagreed, saying that aid is critical for state and local governments to survive. He said he agreed with the $250 billion the White House had proposed for those entities, saying it would be enough to get through the winter, while supporting additional money for testing and vaccine distribution.

Meusburger Producing the ideal material for making a mould base
The decision for a mould base is a crucial factor in mould production. If the material has not been treated correctly, it can lead to deformation. Additionally, standardised and well-prepared mould bases already have the correct size and all the necessary holes.
Related Vendors
The F-Plates from Meusburger come complete with pillar and screw holes and are available from stock in sizes of 96 x 96 mm to 996 x 1196 mm. Another advantage that Meusburger offers is the widest range of materials with 29 materials. Additional side-drilled mould bases with almost quadratic space utilisation save, in many cases, the use of the next largest mould.
When steel plates are produced, tension results in the material due to the various machining processes – caused, for example, by the effect of irregular temperature influences. Following the inspection of incoming goods, Meusburger heat-treats all steel plates for stress relief in one of its three furnaces at approximately 580°C for 24 hours. This creates optimal conditions for low-deformation processing of parts. The daily capacity of the three furnaces at Meusburger is 240 tonnes.
With stress-relieving heat treatment, the tension in the material is minimised without changes to the microstructure or strength. This is a great advantage during subsequent machining. If there was still tension in the material, it would, for example, cause deformation during sawing or milling. During stress-relieving, it is important to heat the plates slowly and consistently and then maintain this temperature for six hours. This guarantees that thick plates are also heated through to the core.
The subsequent slow, regular cooling period of 14 hours in the furnace is even more important. Here, the plates are cooled at approximately 35°C per hour. If they were cooled more quickly, tension - and even the formation of cracks - could once more occur in the material.
Big improvements are often achieved by simple ideas. At Meusburger, everything is done with the benefit for the customer in mind. The systematically coordinated standard hole pattern provides a continuous system from the smallest through to the biggest mould base.
Mould bases with standard hole pattern
Cooling channels can be inserted between the guiding hole and the screw holes of any size of mould. The distance to the edge remains the same for each guiding diameter. The standardised hole patterns of all Meusburger moulding plates, including those used for sliding core moulds, follow the same principle and offer many advantages to the customer.
At first sight, a small but — on closer inspection — very valuable feature is the lever slot provided on all moulding plates with a pillar diameter larger than 20 mm. The recessed edges, which are a unique feature offered only by Meusburger, facilitate the manual opening of the mould in the split line face and the removal of moulding plates. This makes the process noticeably easier for the mould-maker.
To enable quick and easy alignment, the moulding plates are provided with a high-precision alignment edge parallel to the guiding holes.
It's both simple and ingenious: With the thread provided in each of the F 70 risers of the Meusburger mould base, the clamping plate can be removed together with the risers when disassembling the mould. This enables the mould-maker to quickly access the ejector set during a revision. Afterwards, the risers can be easily reassembled together with the clamping plate. The result? Double time-savings!
Being successful with standardisation
The Meusburger Group is one of the leading international manufacturers of high-quality standard parts, hot runner and control systems and selected workshop equipment. Reportedly, more than 18,500 customers all over the world make use of the numerous advantages of standardisation and benefit from the company's 50-plus years of experience in working with steel. The permanent availability of products makes the Meusburger Group the reliable global partner for die, mould and jigs and fixtures construction.
High-precision standard parts by Meusburger optimise the entire process chain. With the consistent use of high-quality standard parts, you can benefit from a large cost-saving potential in die, mould, and jigs and fixtures construction and the subsequent production of parts. All plates and bars by Meusburger are heat-treated for stress relief and therefore provide a reliable basis for high-grade moulds, dies and jigs and fixtures.

"Evil visited this community today," is how Governor Molloy described the awful events that occurred at a Newtown Connecticut Elementary school. Whenever a "terrorist" attacks and innocents are slaughtered, we begin referencing religious concepts and asking the inevitable questions. Why do they hate us? Why would someone commit such an atrocity? Why was a flawed, obviously insane individual allowed access to weapons? The 24 hour cable "news" networks voyeuristically "report" firsthand accounts and "talking head experts" speculate regarding motive and intent. But yet we ignore the obvious, and refuse to look at who we are, better, what we've become, as a nation, a people, that makes such awful events not an aberration, but an all too common occurrence of slaughter and mayhem. We live in a culture where violent video games replaced Mr. Rogers as entertainment for our children; where the youngest and most impressionable among us cyber kill virtual human beings for amusement, to occupy their time, and to prepare them to become weapons in perpetual war that goes unquestioned; where violence has replaced diplomacy; where torture is condoned; where truth telling ("whistle blowing") is a crime warranting imprisonment and solitary confinement; where murder is celebrated as a positive achievement of leadership and as evidence for a candidate's qualification for four more years as president; where drones summarily execute human beings without trial, accusation, and with little outrage; where the adoration of the weapons and technology of killing and destruction ("Memorial Day Air Shows") serve to honor the wasted in war and to ritualize the changing of seasons. We are a culture of hate, greed, and violence, killing our own as we kill others. We have lost our moral compass and have become the pariah of the human community. So Governor, I fear that evil is not merely an unwelcome visitor but lives among us and if I may quote the Bhagavad Gita, we "have become death the destroyer of worlds."

By far stops Melrose, Anna Hu's museum pieces, Montserrat goes green – WWD
ROAD CLOSURE: Perhaps not since 2005, when Marc Jacobs threw a block party to open his LA store, Melrose Place hasn't been shut down in the name of fashion.
But that was the case on Wednesday night, when By Far laid a pink carpet down the street and set an orange table for 100 guests to celebrate its first retail boutique with actresses and influencers including Talulah and Scout Willis, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Jaimie Alexander, Soko, Kitty Cash, Elsa Hosk and more.
The digitally-native affordable luxury accessories brand that helped bring the underarm bag back to the 90s, was launched in Bulgaria in 2016 by three co-founders – sisters Sabina Gyosheva, who is the chief executive, and Valentina Ignatova, who is the marketing director, and their friend Denitsa Bumbarova, who is the creative director.
Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in 'Borat Later Moviefilm', was the guest of honor, wearing a sparkly pink ensemble from Good American with her stylist Jessica Paster in tow. "I love pajamas," she said of the easy glam look paired with By Far boots.
Over dinner, the brand's founders talk to their Bulgarian food-focused adoptive sister, and why you can't find banitsa pastries in LA Made with a mix of yogurt, cheese and filo, the secret ingredient is sparkling water, according to Bakalova, who said her mother did better. "I should start a business," she joked about the banitsa-free zone.
Also at the party was stylist Mimi Cuttrell, who helped boost By Far's business by introducing her to influential clients Gigi and Bella Hadid.
Cuttrell became such good friends with the brand's founders, she did a capsule collaboration with them that's now in stores. "The only thing I regret is not being able to go to the factories," she said of designing the platforms, kitty slingbacks and mini bags while working for COVID-19 restrictions.
New mom Emma Roberts wore shoes and bag from the collaboration, along with a By Far belt. Her next project, "Abandoned," which premieres June 17, is a horror film that deals with postpartum depression, something she thankfully hasn't experienced in real life.
The best part of a COVID-19 pregnancy during lockdown was having even more time to read, said the co-founder of Belletrist, an online bookworm community. His choice of summer reading?

ETERNITY AND A DAY: After more than a decade with American artist Cindy Sherman, the snake duo designed for her by jeweler Anna Hu has moved to a forever home – the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
"In France, an acquisition for a museum is forever, which means that forever this incredible work will remain here in the museum and [be] for so many visitors – for years, decades and centuries to come – a testament to your work and your talent", declared the director of the institution, Olivier Gabet, during the ceremony marking the entrance of his design in the permanent collection of the Parisian museum.
"These snakes have their own destiny," said Hu, who trained as a classical cellist and studied art history before turning to jewelry design.
This path has convinced her that her mission is "to use jewelry as a piece of music that connects past, present and future" while serving as a bridge between East and West – one of very elements that Sherman had wanted for his jewelry.
Hu recounted how, fresh out of her job at Harry Winston, a first encounter with Sherman at a charity gala led to an invitation to visit the jeweler's first boutique at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
When Sherman arrived without makeup, "completely different from her very strong photographic work", Hu was struck by the dichotomy. Their conversation turned to the harmony that emerges from the meeting of opposing elements or contrasting qualities and ultimately led the American artist to want "a duo" to create a piece together.
After agreeing to use the serpent – their common Chinese zodiac sign – as a symbol of the connection between East and West, Sherman requested a design connecting the two elements.
Hu eventually came up with the yin-yang, which she explained was not only a symbol of day and night, but also reflected duality in a person, which pleased Sherman so much that she "literally screamed with happiness," the jeweler revealed, adding that the artist loved it so much she even wore it while sleeping.
"For me, a jewel is not just a beautiful object. It has a symbolic meaning and [embodies the] the love between collector and creator," she said.
In the case of the hand ornament, two serpents with backs set with diamonds and gemstones and garnet eyes biting either side of an onyx and agate yin-yang symbol, it embodied the creative dialogue between "a great artist and another great artist," Gabet said. .
During the ceremony, he revealed that the acquisition committee had unanimously approved the donation made by Sherman, who is also a member of the board of directors of the New York association of Friends of the Museum of Decorative Arts. .
He described Hu's work as "totally consistent" with the history of jewelry, ranging from "Antiquity to yesterday morning, as evidenced by the museum and its Jewelry Galleries."
The inclusion of the piece also made sense in light of the evolution of Western luxury. "There is such effervescence, such dynamism on the Chinese high jewelry scene that it was high time [for] that an artistic capital like Paris recognizes it and pays attention to it," he continued. —LILY TEMPLETON
EYES ON THE PLANET: Montserrat New York launches its first line of sustainable eyewear with eyewear maker King Children on Friday.
The glasses – in two key styles and select colorways including fuchsia, black and navy – are made with special zero-waste 3D printing technology courtesy of King Children. 'The Capri', which is a classic cat's eye shape, and 'The Paros', a '90s-inspired rounded square style, were designed with Montserrat's flair for gold accents and architectural details. Some of that flair is credited to co-founder and designer Carolina Cordón-Bouzán, who blends influences from New York and Barcelona with the aesthetic of a Manhattan vacationer.
The styles sell for $195, exclusively online at Montserrat-nyc.com.
The collection also uses a unique 3D printing technology called selective laser sintering, which reduces waste by engraving each frame from a fine powder of polyamide, a 100% organic material made from castor oil. . The high-tech material replaces traditional acetate and, according to King Children, does not compromise the integrity of the design. The company said the process generates a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional eyewear companies.
"Our research estimates that for every frame produced, four pairs of materials are discarded. A traditional acetate frame is made by shaving off a block of plastic – a process that unfortunately only uses 20% of the actual material while the remaining 80% becomes production waste. With so much waste created for just one pair of glasses, it was clear that the traditional method is not sustainable," said Sahir Zaveri, co-founder and chief executive of King Children, on the need for change.
Gayle Yelon, co-founder of Montserrat New York, said the collaboration highlights a shared passion for technological innovation and will set the tone for the brand's upcoming lab-grown diamond initiatives.
"Montserrat will continue to make advancements in sustainability, especially in fine jewelry, as we continue to design using only lab-grown diamonds. A diamond that we say is grown out of love for the planet, and not mined from the planet… We are excited to turn to technology to reinvent the ways we create products to better our planet.—KALEY ROSHITSH

On-field waste includes poor planting density, poor germination, poor quality, disease, and weather damage. Minimizing waste begins with good seed selection and good farming practices to improve the quality of the plants (and thus minimize loss) and the resiliency of the soils.
The greatest losses of raw material come in post-harvest handling. These losses typically come from poor quality drying and storage facilities. It is crucial to dry plants correctly. Mark Wheeler founder of Pacific Botanicals said that correct drying means drying the plants quickly, maintaining good air flow, keeping humidity low and the heat even and not too high. Storage facilities are also critical. Some species are more versatile than others in both drying and storage. Aerial parts have very short shelf-lives but roots and tough parts, when well stored, like cloves, last for longer.
More loss comes in processing. The efficiency of the machinery, the type of processing (whether producing a powder or rough cut), the species, the type of herb, and the specifications of the buyer all impact how much waste is generated during processing.
If the quality specification calls for only mature fruits, the sorters and graders may pull immature fruits from the line inspection process. Or, if the quality specification calls for leaves with no discoloration or blemishes, or leaves under a certain width or length, they may be sorted out from the inspection line early on. This raw material is typically considered waste.
In terms of the type of plants, fibrous herbs such as licorice or marshmallow generate more waste in processing than turmeric. With crops like plantain and nettle which have a high stem to leaf ration, roughly 50% is considered loss in milling.
Finally, the type of processing impacts how much waste is generated. Josef Brinckmann explained that when trying to optimize tea-bag-cut (TBC) particles of licorice root, some millers lose 30 to 40% (or even more) to the powder fraction. If the company does not have a customer for the fine powder, then it may well be loss. Therefore the price of the TBC particles increases in order to compensate for the significant loss to powder. Or, if the company has more sophisticated equipment, it may be possible to repurpose the powder by compressing it into larger, denser granules or pellets that can then be admixed back with the TBC particles.
Often times the powder fraction tests higher for certain undesirable content that could put the ingredient out of specification. However, this depends on the species. With machine harvested field crops, depending on how close to the ground the cutters are adjusted, there may be a-lot of dirt weight in the harvest. Post-harvest processing using gravity separators, de-stoners, magnets, etc. will pull out gravel, nails, cigarette butts, and most dirt, but fine dirt may occur at the same particle size and density as the herb powder. Oftentimes the powder fraction is unsalable, after one tests the ash and acid-insoluble-ash content.

I always observe conversations about investment. Lately, I have noticed that many people avoid investment. For example, the Danes, who have even had a negative deposit rate for a long time, still deposit lots of money into their bank accounts and do not invest. Recently, they have beaten their bank account deposits record. A similar situation is going on here in Lithuania. I have tried to analyse the reasons why. One of the main reasons is risk. It turns out that people tend to evaluate risk in terms of fear. Some fears are reasonable and widely analysed; others, unexpected.
The most popular fears are market distrust and fear of financial crisis. Both the local and worldwide media are full of negative information which increases doubts for investment – the financial crisis of 2007-2008, the Euro crisis, Brexit, China's economic slowdown, mistrust in US President D. Trump, and many more. Most people see only losses in crisis. Fewer have better insight and see possibilities of earnings.
Another common fear arises from lack of knowledge. It is natural that a person be afraid of something that he or she does not understand. However, it is not a necessity to be an expert to invest somewhere. It is important to observe that there is a wide range of choices of investments and to choose the one which fits your priorities the best. Nowadays, investments are not limited to real estate, bonds, stocks, and gold. One could invest to fund of funds, hedge funds, funds which are based on algorithms, start-ups, technologies, or exotic investments; for example, wine, plants, art, etc. Investment choices meet every taste. None of the types of investment are best or worst – they all have their advantages. I believe it is important to ask yourself, 'What is the most appropriate way for a person like me to invest?' and then gain some understanding in that area. The key is to be consistent, not to change investment types after your first unfortunate moments, and to constantly expand your knowledge.
Another fear is the fear of being deceived by professional consultants. Therefore, some people tend to invest only on their own. If they fail, then they tend not to invest anymore in any field. After this, they sometimes blather on about how risky and unrewarding investments in general are and how it is best to avoid them. In doing so, they increase the fear even more. Stories of failure are usually more dramatic than success stories; hence, failure is widely covered in the media.
An interesting fear appears to be the fear of embarrassing yourself when a professional consultant or investor discovers that you lack knowledge in investment. In such cases I would ask why it is so scary to show that you do not understand something. However, this matter should perhaps be dealt with a therapist or psychologist.
There is also the fear of doing anything else other than one's profession. Some people tend to avoid areas in which they do not work and in which they are not professionals. They choose to keep cash or deposit money in the bank because they feel more secure that way. However, as I have already mentioned above, it is not a necessity to be an expert. You do not have to be a professional investor to choose the right fund, or the right consultant, or the right investment area.
The fear of the liquidity and of the volatility is common in many investment areas. For example, people are discouraged to invest in real estate because of illiquid, long-term investment, especially if the investor is not sure if he or she might need the invested money in the near future. Contrarily, investments with very high liquidity, for example, the stock market, tend to be very volatile, so people are also repelled by the idea that they might lose a significant share of their investment in a few days.
For those who are still willing to or who have already invested, I suggest taking into account three key indicators before any investment: return, risk, and liquidity. It is essential to observe the interconnections between all these indicators rather than to focus on one of them. The Sharpe ratio (return divided from risk) shows the real benefit of investment. High risk is not bad if high return is expected, and, on the contrary, low return is not bad if it comes with very low risk. Liquidity is also a certain risk which must be considered while measuring the total risk of investment.
The money deposited in the bank account inevitably depreciates; therefore, one should overcome the fear of risk and take a closer look at the very wide range of investment possibilities. Evaluate the return and risk ratio and try to invest by yourself, trust an investment advisor/fund, or do both.

Queen Cakes
Queen Cakes are a simple, straightforward bake, essentially a fairy cake/wee bun with raisins. If you don't have raisins, then any dried fruit will do. Or even chocolate chips, which was the addition of choice for Little Miss Traybakes.
Now, as you can see from the photographs, my bun cases are a little larger than I needed for these Queen Cakes. I guess they are US cupcake sized. The recipe makes 12 traditional sized cakes and my bun cases were about half-full before they went into the oven. You probably want to aim for three-quarters full if you have larger cases and want the buns to fill them completely. But, hey, no one complained in our house!
Light, fluffy and sweet. And it was refreshing not to have any vanilla in these. I definitely didn't miss it and they taste just like the wee buns of my childhood.
110g/4oz butter, softened
110g/4oz caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
110g/4oz plain flour (all-purpose flour)
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
50g/2oz dried fruit
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
- Place 12 paper bun cases in a bun tray.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg gradually and keep beating until incorporated.
- Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt and fold into the mixture with a metal spoon.
- Add the dried fruit.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the paper cases.
- Place on a tray in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until risen and golden brown.
- Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy!
Pin It For Later!

Hoping to get some baking powder today, and will give these a go! I know what you mean about vanilla…
