A 5 page review of the work of one of the most effective black writers of the twentieth century. A collection of a variety of Davis' most important essays, the book serves as a much needed compendium of the work of this tremendously important black author. Starting with an examination of the debates which encompassed black literary circles of the 1960s and 1970s, Davis compares the perspectives of a variety of different writers and academics before turning his attention specifically to the black slave narratives and then to Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Jean Toomer, Robert Hayden, and other key figures in black history. The most interesting aspect of this book by far, however, is Davis' attention to the slave narrative as a critical component of black written history. No additional sources are listed.
A 5 page discussion of race relations in the United States. Contends that the subject of race relations is a key philosophical issue precipitated in the United States largely by the presence of African Americans. It is an issue which has been broached by many black leaders of our past, and indeed the leaders of today and our future. Cornel West is one of those leaders. He is, in fact, one of the most eloquent and influential black writers of contemporary times. West views white America as an oppressor of black America, an oppressor which operates through daily attacks on black attributes such as intelligence, beauty, ability, and character. Central to this racial bias is economics and the capitalist system which emphasizes individuality over community and competition over cooperation. No additional sources are listed.
A 5 page discussion of the cultural environment in which "The Souls of Black Folk" was written and the message which the author sought to convey. Contends that the general public at this time was not very tolerant of blacks in general and W.E.B. DuBois was not only black, he had an impressive education and was considerably influential. Ironically, these same qualities somewhat alienated W.E.B. DuBois even from some of his own people. Even in this historical context, however, "The Souls of Black Folks" was regarded as a beautiful insight into the African American culture. No additional sources are listed.

A 6 page research paper that looks at the career of this African American leader. Asa Philip Randolph (1889-1979) was the most significant civil rights leader to emerge from the labor movement (Stein, 1991). His name is not as well-known as that of Martin Luther King, however, Randolph was a principal motivator of his generation and a pioneer in obtaining rights for black Americans. His career as a political activist begins early in the twentieth century, decades before the civil rights movement and examination of his work suggests that his early successes in gaining rights for black Americans laid the necessary groundwork upon which 1960s civil rights movement was built.

A 4 page research paper that discusses whether or not the slave trade was economically beneficial for Africa. The Atlantic slave trade was ongoing for over three hundred and fifty years, profoundly affected the histories of four continents and “constituted history’s largest forced migration,” as over 12 million Africans were transported to various locations in Europe and the Americas (Clark 273). Some historians have argued that while the slave trade was morally wrong, it was economically beneficial to Africa.

What happens when a bird or a bat gets involved with a wind turbine?
It’s not usually a good result for the animal, UNBC instructor Ken Otter told a Cafe Scientifique audience at Cafe Voltaire in Prince George on Wednesday evening.
Otter, an instructor in the ecosystem science and management program, said people have been researching the idea that wind farms and birds have a collision problem.
Most of the at-risk species are migratory birds, which may encounter the turbines on their regular route, and “soaring” birds.
With the wind-farm technology still relatively new in canada, the opportunity is there to work with industry to make it as safe as possible for the animals, he said.
Generally, he said, the birds are flying at elevations well above the turbines. Sometimes, however, a weather pattern will push them lower, to where they may be at risk.
How specific? Otter says in some cases it could be a question of just idling one turbine in a group for a few minutes to allow a flock of birds to get by.
Otter said a University of Calgary study found bats ran into a different problem when it came to wind turbines.
Autopsies showed the capillaries had burst inside the bats. This led researchers to take a look at how the turbines affected wind pressure in their area.
Again, the solution may be as simple as varying the speed the vanes turn at to ease the drop in pressure.
And, he says, the industry seems to be willing to look at making these changes.

The identification of genes predisposing to POAG is an important step toward the development of novel gene-based methods of diagnosis and treatment. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified genes contributing to complex traits such as POAG however, such studies frequently require very large sample sizes, and thus, collaborations and consortia have been of critical importance for the GWAS approach. In this report we describe the formation of the NEIGHBOR consortium, the harmonized case control definitions used for a POAG GWAS, the clinical features of the cases and controls, and the rationale for the GWAS study design.

Looking at her paint-splattered clothing, it’s hard to believe this is the same person who played aristocratic Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun last year in a production of “Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh” at The Players’ Ring. In fact, Carlson and two other actors carried the entire show, earning a Spotlight Award nomination for best ensemble. Carlson was also nominated this year for playing Alice in “The Adams Family,” a straight-laced role in which she nonetheless “crumbles and flops” on the stage, she says.
Anyone who doesn’t think theater requires athleticism hasn’t seen Carlson act. More than the memorization, the anxiety, or the hours, she says the physicality is what takes a toll on her. “I am a character actor, which means I’m always the extreme.” But now, painting sails onto a pirate ship, she shows no sign of wear and tear.
Perhaps that resilience is due to a lifetime of physical work. After a long night performing Élisabeth’s rigid postures or flailing around as Alice, Carlson takes off the wig and corset, puts on jeans and an old T-shirt, and drives to Ceres Bakery in Portsmouth, where she can be seen through the windows rolling out croissant dough and shaping bread into the early morning — sometimes while still wearing her fake eyelashes.
She pauses. “I have to check some fairies real quick here,” she says, motioning excitedly to the fairy silhouettes on Never Land’s backdrop.
Carlson is living proof that hard work can pay off, even if no one knows it. Her community sees her on stage, but not during rehearsals; they buy her bread without witnessing the nightly workout it requires. She lives in a world of sweat and makeup, paint and jewelry, recipes and dance steps. And the place where her audience intersects with her world will always be along her products’ polished edges.
But, when stage lights fade, you can find Carlson behind the scenes with her sleeves rolled up, making pretty things.

The Bend again had the Supercars' biggest names in a spin before reigning series champion Jamie Whincup claimed pole position for the opening race of the category's newest track.
Whincup was among the stars who struggled on the demanding 18-turn, 4.95km course at Tailem Bend, an hour's drive from Adelaide, spinning out during the 15 minute qualifying session on Saturday.
He recovered to clock a lap of one minute, 50.13 seconds to top the timesheets ahead of Holden teammate Shane van Gisbergen and Nissan's Michael Caruso.
Series leader, Ford's Scott McLaughlin, will start Saturday's 120km opening race at the maiden The Bend SuperSprint round from fifth spot on the grid.
Whincup earned his third pole of the year but may face an anxious wait.
Officials launched a post-session investigation after Holden's James Golding was forced to take evasive action as Whincup tried to return to the track following his shock spin.
"It was really challenging conditions. It is so hard to just get a lap in, let alone a quick one but we got a nice clean run," Whincup said.
"That [pole] means a lot coming to a new track but we all know it is about the race today."
McLaughlin holds an 89-point series lead over van Gisbergen but appears vulnerable at The Bend after admitting he still had no idea how to tackle the $110 million circuit after spending most of Friday's practice spearing off track.
"It's a really unpredictable track. I have no feel for what the car will do but I am looking forward to it," McLaughlin said.
Like Friday's eventful practice sessions, drivers continued to fly off the track during qualifying, spraying dirt across the circuit.
"I have more dirt on my car than Russell Coight," Nissan driver Rick Kelly laughed.
McLaughlin and van Gisbergen set the scene for an interesting race after they tangled during qualifying, with the latter clearly unimpressed as he walked away from a TV reporter as she tried to interview him.
The Bend did not discriminate when dishing out the heartache on Saturday – Holden great Craig Lowndes will start fourth last on the 28-strong grid.
The Bend SuperSprint round concludes with Sunday's 200m race.

Century Link is finally installing the new infrastructure required to upgrade their phone and data services to include video, thus giving Spring Run members a choice between Comcast and Satellite TV. The other communities in the Brooks are very interested in options to Comcast and satellite as well, but so far it is mainly for a bundled contract for all their residents. Spring Run has considered this from time to time, but the general feedback I have received from our residents is that they want to maintain the option to choose as well as to put service on vacation hold in the off season. Keep in mind….we are the ONLY community in the Brooks to have this infrastructure installed, and one of the very first anywhere!
This community is very fortunate to have this system installed that provides its members choice at NO charge for the infrastructure installations. Century Link anticipates that some Spring Run residents will have Prism service available to them by the start of November, with the remainder of the community completed in December. Century Link will contact any resident with landline or internet service with them by phone once their area is completed to see if you are interested in signing up for service. They will also begin advertising for available service once the project is completed at year end. If you have any questions, please reply back.
Thank you. Thank you. I’ve been holding off on internet service until this was available and hopefully at a better price!
Maybe I missed it, but has a proposal with an estimated cost to the members ever been presented for a Spring Run bundled community contract with Century Link? I would be interested in such a contract if the cost is not too prohibitive.

After examining the other identities already covered this month, we can be assured that we are confident children of God. Paul writes in Ephesians, “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence” (Ephesians 3:12 NIV). This means that not only do we have the freedom to approach God whenver, but also we have the confidence because we have put our trust in Him. According to The Baker Illustrated Bible Commentary, “This age-old, unanticipated plan he carried out in the person and work of Christ, Lord of the universe (3:11), in whom we have full confidence, by faith, to come freely and boldly into the presence of God (3:12).” By being in Christ, we do not need to fear; we have full confidence.
Our confidence is also mentioned in the book of Romans, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28 NIV). You and I can be confident that God is working everything out for our good because we love Him. I am sure that as a Christian you have heard this verse several times. You might have even quoted it to someone who was facing a difficult situation. I encourage you to work on memorizing this verse, if you have not already done so. It has such power behind it.
Let me ask you a question; do you believe the promise in Romans 8:28? It is one thing to say it, but it is quite another to live like we believe it. One reason why this may be difficult to believe is because the storms in your life may be so overwhelming. However, no matter what the situation is or how all encompassing it may seem, God is right there with you. He did not create everything and simply walk away. He is intimately involved in the details, both big and small, in each of our lives. Take a moment and think of the dark times in your life; how did God make Himself known to you?
Another key point in this verse is the wording His purpose. Often we lose sight of this. We think everything needs to work out according to our purpose. Keep in mind that God has a greater purpose and plan for each one of us, and this gives us confidence to follow His lead in our lives. Sometimes, however, that means we have to go through the fire or trials of life. Think for a moment about a piece of steel. Alone it is worth only about five dollars. However, when it is shaped, hammered, and put through the fire to make springs for a watch, the value increases to hundreds of dollars. The same principle is true in our lives. Through this refining, God will shape and mold us into even more valuable individuals.
Because God is powerful and loving, we can be confident that He will work out all the details in our life for good, according to His purpose. What a wonderful promise to rest upon. Keep in mind that we do not need to be confident in ourselves, but rather in Him.
Ever since January when I became so close to death I lost my confidence, not only to myself but in God also. I thought that everything that God said to me came back void. To be Evangelist/Pastor was wrong. I actually thought that death my destiny and that there was nothing I could do to change it. I laid in the hospital waiting for one day I wouldn’t wake up. Everyday I did. I couldn’t understand it, cause I tried everything, till I realize I was depending on the wrong person. I had know power, couldn’t change nothing, didn’t have strength to do so either. And after reading this blog it seem like it was meant for me. My confidence needed to be on God and God alone. Hr saved me for His plan. That I need to put my full trust in Him and Him alone. Even though this is just the beginning of my recovery I NOW know that that my life, the air I breathe is controlled by God. And His plan will come into to place and I will soon know and understand what it may be. Thanks for sharing this blog it solo uplifted me and encourage me, helped me not to give up and lean on Him.

Karen talks about having a strategic conversation to unlock donor motivation. Remember, giving is personal.
The word cultivation is a rubric that covers a long list of sins – but the biggest one is failure to be strategic. We need smart, intentional, measurable ways to advance relationships to joyful, generous, inspired yeses.
I know we need to code things, make it easy to track by using the software you use to manage donor relationships, but somewhere there needs to be an explicit strategy noodled on first, then written down, and regularly reviewed and adjusted after each strategic donor step.
When someone asks what’s going on with George, we need a thoughtful, strategic answer based on information you gleaned by visiting with the donor, asking great questions and listening.

TV show winner looks to open first restaurant at First Street.
The North West’s only Masterchef winner, Simon Wood, has today announced that subject to licensing his much anticipated restaurant will launch at Manchester’s First Street.
Simon comments; “For me Manchester is the best city in the country; it’s friendly, vibrant, busy and has incredible night life complemented by some great restaurants. What’s more its food and drink culture is thriving and we see our restaurant enhancing that already amazing existing offering.
The restaurant will be located on Jack Rosenthal Street on First Street.
On the choice of location Simon continues; “I was instantly attracted to First Street and see this very much as the next go to place in an already vibrant and exciting city.
It was a fantastic opportunity to be part of a thriving community which boasts, HOME – the Contemporary International Arts Centre, bars, a hotel and onsite secure parking, all positioned around a new public square that will play host to a range of exciting outdoor events this summer.
First Street is everything you could need in a brand new high quality leisure and hospitality development and I share the estate’s vision as an up and coming destination.
It is close to many key Manchester venues and has excellent public transport facilities nearby with Oxford Road train station, Deansgate train station and Deansgate/ Castlefield Metrolink station within a few minutes’ walk. Oxford Road train station is due to undergo a huge multi- million-pound redevelopment too and so the location is accessible, modern and inviting.
Commenting on Simon choosing First Street for his first restaurant launch, Leon Guyett, Development Director at Ask Real Estate, said: “We are delighted that Simon has chosen First Street to debut his very first restaurant in Manchester. We have really enjoyed working with Simon over the last few months to bring his vision of a premium dining venue at First Street to life.
“Simon’s enthusiasm for First Street is great and his new restaurant will be a fantastic addition to the host of independent operators on the estate.
Former Data Manager, Simon (40) started cooking when he could ‘reach the top of an oven’. His passion began when, at eight years old, he won a competition to be anything for a day and he chose to be a chef. Thirty years later Simon’s MasterChef win saw him fulfilling a dream he has had since he was young.
Since 2015 he has worked as executive chef at Oldham Athletic FC and Oldham Event Centre, most recently launching ‘The Boardroom by Simon Wood’.
His areas of passion include fine dining, the art of plating, and teaching. His debut cookbook At Home with Simon Wood – Fine Dining Made Simple launched earlier this year.

The CFA Program curriculum includes ethical and professional standards; financial reporting and analysis; corporate finance; economics; quantitative methods; equity, fixed income, alternative investments; derivatives; portfolio management; and wealth planning.
Yang, CFA (Japan) - chief investment officer, T&D Asset Management Company, Ltd.
Recent events have shown that the relevance of an internationally recognized designation as a barometer of good practice has never been clearer or stronger, with national governments and the global business community increasingly seeing the need for qualifications, such as the CFA Program, to provide a clear set of standards and principles for financial markets,' Mehta added.
But there was, and has always been, a dark side to this linkage: Sadly for Africa, pivotal to this arrangement is that each CFA central bank must keep at least 65% of its foreign exchange reserves in an "operations account" with the French Treasury, and another 20% of reserves to cover financial liabilities.
Says Craig Wisen, CFA charterholder and assistant professor of business administration at UAF's School of Management, "We use a significant amount of CFA material in our courses, and have sent several students down to Anchorage to take Level 1.
CFA is a nonprofit association of 300 consumer groups, representing 50 million people.
CFA does not suggest how one could tell that an adult-sized ATV was bought for a child under 16, since no dealer would likely admit to having sold one for that purpose.
In High Court cases against the government where the CFA has ruled against them, frequent recourse to the NPCSC will undermine the integrity of the CFA.
The CFA designation has been awarded to some 14,500 investment professionals by the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts (ICFA) in Charlottesville, Virginia, since 1963.
HONG KONG -- CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals that sets the standard for professional excellence and credentials, has named financial services veteran Paul H.

With the curtain about to go up on the 2015 Kenya Airways East African Safari Classic Rally, behind the scenes the organizing team that will run this famous event is now in top gear.
With less than a fortnight remaining for the event to officially kick off, the Event Manager, Ashok Bhalla, met all of the team’s group leaders on Sunday for a final briefing. He commented afterwards: “I am happy with my team that comprises over one hundred and fifty people from both Kenya and Tanzania. They have collected all their equipment from us including the timing clocks, control boards and other branding materials which will play a major role in running the rally over the nine-day period.”.
Meanwhile, a new seeding system has been put in place to help drivers re-position themselves in case of any mechanical problems that might have slowed their progress during the competition. Normally such problems could cause them to fall right back down the entry at the daily re-start based on the previous day’s results and they could thus be running behind many slower cars that would be difficult to pass in dusty conditions.
Other sponsors of the Safari Classic include Access Kenya, Kabarnet-Natural Drinking Water and Kenya Wildlife Services.
The rally will start from Mombasa on November 19th with a loop of competitive sections finishing back the Whitesands Hotel before spreading its wings to travel to Tanzania through Amboseli and the border post of Namanga. In Tanzania it visits Lake Manyara and Arusha and then goes back to Mombasa via the border post at Taveta. The whole event will be about 3,331 kilometres (2,070 miles) long spread over a period of nine days in both in Kenya and Tanzania. Of that mileage, there are twenty-four competitive sections within it that will largely decide the result since the liaison sections between them are driven in time with no penalty under normal circumstances. Eighty per cent of the roads used for the competitive sections are new to the rally and they will total some 2,000 kilometres (1,242 miles).
Twice winner of the rally and one of the biggest names in the history of the Kenya National Rally Championship, Ian Duncan, will head the list of fifty-seven starters in his Ford Capri 3100. Starting immediately behind him will be two Porsche 911s driven by previous FIA Rally Champions, Gregoire de Mevius from Belgium and Stig Blomqvist from Sweden.

The message was heard loud and clear: We need more STEM workers and we need them now. Students are abandoning Shakespeare for STEM, universities are providing real-world learning experiences and companies are offering paths to free education.
Upon discovering that degrees in English literature are not leading to jobs, students are marching over to the computer labs. The share of bachelor’s degree holders in the U.S. age 25 and over who majored in computers, math or statistics rose to 47% last year from 4.2% in 2009—an increase of nearly 1 million students over the period.
And at some universities they don’t have to wander far to apply what they are learning in the classroom. For example, the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Laboratory located in Grand Rapids, Mich., on the Western Michigan University (WMU) campus, is stocked with 3-D printers and scanners, a CAD/CAM lab, plasma cutter, laser cutter, welding station, metrology equipment and prototyping tools.
The lab combines prototyping, training and small-scale manufacturing with the opportunity for individuals to earn college credits to be used toward a degree or certification. And beginning in January, WMU will offer courses for a certificate program in integrated design and manufacturing.
In addition, manufacturing engineering technology, engineering design technology and engineering management technology courses will be offered at the facility for students enrolled in WMU’s ABET-accredited four-year engineering technology degree program.
Corporations are doing their part as well. IBM for example created a program called Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools. It began in 2011 with one school as the company was looking to bring more students into the STEM pipeline. Currently there are 100 schools that participate in this program.
Students can enroll in the six-year program, which begins in high school, and earn both a high school and an associate’s degree in a science, tech, engineering or math-related field. The schools map skills that employers value into the curriculum, preparing P-TECH graduates to enter the workforce after graduation.
To ensure that students can find jobs in their field, the program is supported by 400 business partners that work directly with 79 schools across the U.S. The business partners ensure that students are career-ready by providing mentoring, site visits and paid internships.
In addition to filling the many STEM jobs in the market today, P-TECH is also helping these graduates move to “new collar” jobs which can range from associate analyst to digital design developer.
In addition to efforts at the university level, there are technical programs as well.
The shortage of qualified automotive technicians drove Mercedes-Benz USA to expand one its technician training and development programs. The luxury automotive manufacturer this summer announced a new program in association with Jefferson Community & Technical College (JCTC) in Louisville, Ky.
The auto training shop program, Mercedes-Benz Accelerate, is the first-of-its-kind in the state. It prepares students to become a level one Mercedes-Benz Certified Systems Technician in just three semesters. Students will train on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, intern at a Mercedes-Benz dealership and have the opportunity to gain full-time employment after completing the program.
Across the range of jobs and levels of education, opportunities are being offered to students to help them choose STEM as their career. And let’s hope they can find some time for Shakespeare.

MWR's APT briefing is a session to inform and update you on the current and developing threats organizations are faced with.
Online Registration for the APT Briefings has now closed.
Should you wish to attend please call +44 (0) 1256 300920.
MWR invites you to attend our APT briefing to inform and update you on the current and developing threats organizations are faced with. We will look at the historic reasons behind APT and the motivations of threat actors – examine how specific sectors within the UK are being and will be targeted and understand how the most advanced companies are structuring their defence programmes.
One of the principle difficulties in understanding the likelihood of attack (coupling the impact with the true risk) is understanding the motivations behind why your organisation would be targeted.
In this presentation MWR will run through the current geo-political motivations of the key threat actors, why the differing scenario options will alter their cyber behaviour and how this should be used by businesses to update and inform their APT programmes to ensure the best chance of defence.
This presentation will detail the cyber structure and recourses of the main threat actors. It will provide information as to why they have adopted their current position, as well as some attack examples and broad methods.
This key presentation gives an overview of the core principles needed to defend against both CNE and CNA attacks. Importantly it will look at why most of the current solutions fail to defend adequately unless implemented with a clear understanding of attack methods.
This presentation uses multiple examples from current defence programmes to underline the substantial method and structure required to correctly align the layers of controls, to mitigate the true risk posed by sophisticated threat actors.
As part of the requirement to undertake assessments for clients, MWR has developed a highly specialised tool to allow audit and detection of advanced threat actors.
During this presentation we will detail its function, how it can be used and how it should be used to conduct assessments, both prior to the start of a defensive programme and once monitoring is required as part of the programme.
Phishing is a key entry vector for many APT attacks. During this presentation MWR will demonstrate the custom platform built and designed to test organisations phishing defences and user awareness. Phish’d specifically allows phishing campaigns to be simulated, user behaviour tracked and key failings in user awareness to be measured and improved over a period of time.

 Frankly Sinatra in Israel. Audience reviews.
Frankly Sinatra! Audiences are LOVING it!
We've had a great year of performing SINATRA, and look forward to more shows next year.
It's thanks to the great audience response, and to the fact that all of us, the band, the singer, the tech gang, just love presenting this show! Here are some messages we've received from our audience members. Our latest show was a sellout crowd at AACI in Jerusalem.
"We absolutely were enthusiastic with the Sinatra show.. What is really working is the mixing between the historical facts and the songs. That is learning with pleasure. So, for us, the show deserves a 5."
"It was, I guess you could say, a VERY good night!"
"My daughter and I really enjoyed the show ( I would give it a 4.5). I learned a lot of things about Sinatra that I never knew. Thank you for such an enjoyable evening."
"Hi Yisrael, congratulations on your show, we absolutely loved it! Our favorite aspect was finding out Sinatra’s relation to the Jewish world and Israel, we were really moved to see it had been quite an important part of his life.. for us it’s 4/5, the band was very enjoyable, it was good to see young players playing Sinatra, in a very professional way. We loved the way you led the show, mixing personal stories with songs. You showed us aspects from Sinatra’s life unknown to us, and it made him more human to us."
"This is the first time that we encountered Israel Musicals and it was most enjoyable. I thought the format of singing and story telling with the inclusion of old films was great. We enjoyed the evening.I would rate it as 4.. Yes, I would recommend to others and I would attend other musicals you might put on. Thank you for on-going contact. I like that too."
"Loved the history behind each song and relevance to what was going on in Frank’s personal life. Very well researched and presented. The movie clips were terrific. We enjoyed the show tremendously."
"I give you all a 5 [out of 5] .. I enjoyed your show as much as the one I saw just 2 weeks earlier."
"We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and thought that your presentation was excellent."
For tickets and information, please click here!
"Thank you very much for an enjoyable performance."
"Since we think Sinatra is a hero in Israel, the connections to Israel and the 10 minute film about anti-Semitism was a highlight. Well done show to summarize Frank's live and some of his connections to the Jewish people."
"The show was wonderful, Yisrael, and the synchronization with Haim (the band leader) was amazing! I would surely recommend the show to others. At times the music was a bit too loud, but my rating is still 4.5 [out of 5]."
"The Frank Sinatra show was wonderful. I was singing with all the old songs."
"Yes we did enjoy the evening."
"It was quite a nostalgic evening. A number of the songs resonated with us especially New York, New York. But you had a good repertoire, and your speaking stage presence is quite good. The Sinatra's Life Story was wonderful, with lots of information we didn't know."
"The show was lovely and very enjoyable. [My rating is] 5. It was great to hear the old Sinatra tunes. Learned some new info re Sinatra. Would recommend to others."
"I very much enjoyed the show. These were the tunes from my "bobbysox" days. I remember many of the words.. I told everyone I know how much I enjoyed the show, including my US family. There is a song toward the end where the orchestra was a bit too loud and drowned you out..."
"I enjoyed your show so much that the day after the show I put on a Frank Sinatra channel on the computer and listened to it all day.
You have a great voice when you ‘let go’ but there were times I felt that you were holding back its power. I was happy when you did let go and belted it out. Other than the keyboardist, I thought the musicians were mediocre…maybe their weakness was holding you back.
Despite that I would definitely recommend your show."
"Thanks for a lovely evening. We thoroughly enjoyed it."
"Great show last night. (I noticed nobody under 60 - I guess they don't know who Sinatra was)."
"The program was terrific! My friends and I enjoyed it immensely."

Navel cups enable treatment of navels with less mess and waste—so the disinfectant ends up on the lamb's navel and not on you!
A built-in clip allows the cup to hang onto the side of jugs so it's easier to find in a barn. Small neck reduces evaporation. No lid to unscrew, drop and misplace.
How much Triodine-7 is needed? Enough to cover the entire cord. We cover up to 200 lambs per bottle. Cost in time and $$ is little when compared to benefits.
Before using the navel cup, clip the navel short so it doesn’t drag on the ground or risk mother stepping on it. Lessens the chance for bacteria to enter.
This saves me a lot of iodine because it doesn’t spill. It is also super easy to dip lambs in it because it’s so wide. It hangs on the fence so it’s always available. It’s a bit of a pain to wash but is doable.
We tried the navel cup this year on our Kiko kids (and one Boki kid!) and found it too big and cumbersome - we spilled iodine on both the kids and ourselves! As a previous reviewer said, it is a more suitable size for calves. We are going to go back to what we used in the past: a 35mm film canister - it actually works just fine!
As the others have said, a cap and smaller size would make it perfect. I was surprised to see that this is basically the same cup that is sold in my local farm store for calves. I would still recommend it though, as there don't seem to be any alternatives.

BeefTalk: The Future of Beef: We Need to Get it Right!
Native American saying - "We do not inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."
We need to guide beef production and other farm and ranch production into the future.
The Native American saying, “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children,” is a reminder that we need to think ahead.
Sustainable beef production is a lot more than a phrase; in fact, it’s the future. And the future belongs to our children, so we need to get it right.
Our children born today may have our grandchildren in 2041. Our grandchildren may have our great-grandchildren in 2066. And our great-grandchildren may have our great-great-grandchildren in 2091. As distant as it sounds, the birth of our great-great-great-grandchildren will occur early in the next century, 100 years from today.
We can agree: Our children are the future. A few of us might actually still be here, enjoying beef. Most certainly, some of our children and grandchildren, many of our great-grandchildren and almost all of our great-great-grandchildren and great-great-great-grandchildren will be here.
Our decisions today are for those who come after us. Our correct thoughts and actions will prepare the world for them; our mistakes will take a bit of the world away. So in our own space, we need to do what we can. In this case, we need to guide beef production and other farm and ranch production into the future.
What makes up the “beef industry”? The “beef industry” is a comingling of many components. So what does this mean? Who is the “beef industry”? Who do we need to put around the table to adequately discuss and ensure sustainable beef production long into the future?
Let’s set the table and invite our guests. The obvious invitation goes to a beef producer; after all, we are based in the production of beef. Plant life is paramount to the balance of our farm and ranch, so let us invite our neighbor who raises plants. Animals and plants must have healthy soil, so let’s invite someone who knows soil and the associated biology that soil contains.
Just as we eat, we must feed the organisms that live in the soil. Their food, a mixture of elements derived from the recycling of the many plants and animals, needs water and air, so we certainly need to have someone who understands water and someone who will provide insight into clean air.
Although we often stop there, those guests make up an incomplete list. What about the energy (renewable and nonrenewable) needed to start and enhance our desire to sustain our farm and ranch, to protect the quality of our air, water and soil? Let’s invite someone who has a good understanding of energy.
And who will consume the results of our production? The consumer should be at the table to reflect not only the desire to obtain the food the farm and ranch produces, but also the opportunity for shared use of space as our separate but integrated lives utilize air, water and soil for food and fun.
Two more chairs need to go to someone who understands wellness and someone who knows leisure. Wellness integrates our personal lives with work because our own individual and family wellness reflects the balance we each place on raising beef and integrating family and friends.
A well person is most likely a happy person. And a balance of work and leisure is critical to our long-term success and development of relationships with our own children and their children. We should have someone invited to make sure we know and understand the fullness of life, not just work.
The chairs around the table are almost full, so some order may be advised to handle issues or recommend solutions if a difference of opinion arises. Let’s invite someone with the organizational skills to focus our discussion on the topic at hand, the sustainable future of beef production, and to provide balance and a buffering of our demands upon air, water and soil. That being said, the table is full.
But wait, what about all those people around the world, the differing cultures that provide the backdrop, the color and diversity to our daily lives? We need someone who knows cultural impacts and how they may spin the very essence in the human interactions we so need to properly address long-term sustainability.
The table is most certainly full and the discussion ready to commence. But wait, who will bless the meal? Finally, the last guest arrives, the blessing is given and the table of 12 is now full. The inclusiveness of philosophies, traditions, spirituality and beliefs brings the diversity of the table to completion.
One asks, “How did this all happen?” But we are speaking of 100 years. New thoughts become old thoughts; old thoughts renew themselves. Truly, if new sustainable thoughts are to evolve, then the table must represent the total “beef industry.” And total means input from the many tugging directions that impact the “beef industry.” Enjoy the diversity, the openness yet challenges, always keeping our children first.

I can tell you what not to wear. Don’t wear those tight jeans that now surely must be comfortable after that you’ve lost five pounds. They weren’t. We were barely above cruising altitude when those jeans let me know they were not at all impressed by my hard-earned weight loss and were most definitely not my friend.
So now I know to always stick to my usual clothes for a flight – no matter what the scale is saying that week.
For short flights the selection of an outfit is less crucial from a comfort standpoint, although it is important if you are trying to maximize what you take on your trip. For example, in the winter I pretty much constantly wear my black or brown boots. They are great at my destination, if it’s a chilly one, but take up valuable real estate in my suitcase.
So to save space I wear them on the plane. A pain when going through security, true, but worth it to have more space in the suitcase.
Leggings are perfect for a plane ride. They keep me warm and have no binding. Leggings do not care if you’ve gained or lost five pounds and they have no zippers or buttons to pinch or bind. These are by HUE, $28 at Macy’s.
I have a whole posse of knit dresses from Target that are perfect for travel. They are cheap, don’t wrinkle and very comfortable. Add sandals in the summer, or boots, tights and a sweater in the winter and you’ve got a great sight-seeing outfit too. This is the faux wrap dress for $24.88.
I never travel without a cardigan. They are perfect to keep warm and cozy on plane rides and then use as a layer at your destination. I like this open style, $79.50 at Banana Republic.

A year and a half ago I helped with one of the Sotonblogger events and it gave a really good insight to what these events are like. I loved seeing people interact with each other even though they've never met before and really getting along just by sharing a common interest. Reading other peoples blogs and getting an insight into others lives has been a great way to try new places or products I may never had thought of before.
I suffer from dyslexia on a mild level but also tend to be quiet when I'm around people I don't know as I've never felt comfortable in myself. I wanted to find a way to improve both of these and felt that blogging would be the perfect way to tackle this.
Now if I am around people I have known for years or drunk, I tend to be loud and a bit of a goof whereas if I'm around people I have never met or hardly know I find that I don't have the confidence to really be myself. Having dyslexia, I feel that by constantly writing posts on the experiences that I am lucky to find myself in, I can learn when to use the correct spelling of words but also improve my writing structure. I know that by blogging I will eventually get to the level I want to be.
I'm originally from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, I came to Southampton for university and ended up finding both a city I love and feel comfortable in but also the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. The problem with this was most of my good friends have either moved back home or moved to other cities to path their own way in life. This has resulted in keeping myself to myself more than I would've liked.
Despite having a few good friends and my partner I share a lot with, I feel that it's never a bad idea to find more people who share the same interests as you, while at the same time discovering new interests. As the topics of blogging can be so diverse, you get a good range of posts to read and follow.
The main thing I have noticed with blogging is that it's a practice that is mainly dominated by women, which is amazing however, it would be great to see more male bloggers.
This may be due to men feeling that being a man is all about being macho and not sharing their emotions or writing abilities. The idea of being a part of the blogging community has really intrigued me. I have always like the idea of doing something that is against the crowd and becoming a male blogger is right up that avenue.
I hope that this post gave a small insight about myself and why I've decided this is right for. If you like what you read please do hit the follow button or leave a comment.
Thanks for the comments Marc, its really appreciated. I honestly thought you had been blogging longer that 4-5 months and love the fact you are so open with your mental health posts.
Glad I found you and your blog recently! It is definitely a female saturated market so it's nice to have another guy in my following list (there aren't many unfortunately). Looking forward to reading your future posts!
Thanks for the comment Alana. It's not a bad thing that it is more female orientated as it's nice to see something that is but there are a lot less male bloggers than I thought there would be. Im sure you will see more posts in the future.
Thank you for the comment. There is a lot fewer male bloggers but it's all good. Ill make sure I will check your blog out.
I'm really excited for my first blogger event coming up in Nov- I hope I can meet some great people! & I'm literally the exact same as you when it comes to meeting new people & being quiet, like as soon as I know you & come out of my shell I'm loud as anyone but till then dont expect much from me!
I'm always excited to find a new male blogger, because as you say, it's so female oriented and I think the reason is indeed men caring about the 'image' of themselves and wanting to be 'macho'. Male bloggers unite!
Honestly they are good fun. The first one I went was just helping out and still enjoyed it every one is friendly. Indeed take a few minutes to get comfortable but then I'm fine. Yea it's so female orientated it's nice to see other male bloggers.
Thank you very much. I have very much enjoyed blogging so far.
I know what you mean, if I didn't have my partner I wouldn't have known about the male blogging community either.

Santa Rosa County approved higher building permit fees so it can hire additional staff.
Santa Rosa County will move forward with higher fees for building permits after the County Commission approved the request at its regular meeting Thursday morning in Milton.
The increases, which will be built into the fiscal year 2019 budget, will allow the county to use the fee hikes to hire six additional staff members — five building inspectors and one permit technician — to improve response time on permit requests.
County building official Rhonda Royals raised the issue with the commissioners earlier this week. Royals said the fee increases are expected to generate $294,237 in yearly revenue that will go toward filling the vacancies.
"My projection is that the fees will cover the salaries of the folks we're looking for," Royals told the board Thursday morning. "With the building industry the way it is, the higher the boon, the harder it is for us to hire outside folks."
Royals said the county will have a public hearing on the fee increases in September with the aim that the new fees take effect on Oct. 1.
The approximate average increase of $89 is based on a 2,500-square-foot, single-family home. But the higher fees would also apply to any development that requires a building permit — from new construction to remodeling to the installation of plumbing, electrical, mechanical or gas, Royals said.
The county currently charges $1,015.94 for a building permit for a 2,500-square-foot single-family home, according to Royals. The proposed increase would bump up the fee to $1,104.91 for that size residence.
To compare, Escambia County charges $1,190.78 for that building permit, and Okaloosa County charges $1,644.28.
County permit fees have not been increased since 2015 with only some of the residential fees being adjusted at that time.
Royals added she will work with County Administrator Dan Schebler on a comprehensive review of what inspectors could earn in the county.
The current starting inspector salary in Santa Rosa County is $13.54 an hour compared with $14.54 in Escambia County and $16.25 in Okaloosa County. With the fee increases, higher level inspectors in Santa Rosa County would earn anywhere from $15.58 an hour to $19.99.
"We want to attract the best talent," said Commissioner Sam Parker during the meeting, equating the move to the county's efforts to work with the sheriff's department so it could hire more personnel. "This is a serious issue and I'd encourage you to do that (work with Schebler) and look at getting them competitive pay."
Royals on Thursday also provided the commissioners with information on improved customer service goals that can be achieved with the addition of other staff members.
In her documentation, Royals noted that on residential projects, the time needed for plan review or inspection for a single-family detached home can be reduced from the current 15-day turnaround time to seven days with additional inspectors on board.
The turnaround time on major and moderate commercial projects — ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 square feet — will remain the same at approximately 30 and 20 working days, respectively.
Royals showed that the minor commercial projects of less than 5,000 square feet can be inspected in seven to 10 days, instead of 15, with more staff.
"We work very hard to apply the customer service element," Royals said. "Moving forward and when we hire folks, we'll look for the candidate that is the best fit for our department. We want folks who have experience but also the customer service."
Also on Thursday, commissioners approved the preliminary plans for a 92-lot Hamilton Crossing subdivision to be built on 51 acres south of Hamilton Bridge Road in Milton.
The board's move allows developers to go on with construction plans.

Ask Scott Cunningham with Turner Morris, Inc. how he feels about DaVinci Roofscapes and get ready to be captivated.
"DaVinci is a true stand alone (roofing material) in the synthetic world," says Cunningham, mountain project manager with Turner Morris Roof Systems in Colorado. "The product itself is durable and withstands the stringent demands of our high alpine environment. This is the only product we've found that works well in our climatic region."
Cunningham should know. In the past eight years his company has installed more than a dozen commercial roofing projects in Colorado using DaVinci synthetic roofing material.
"The impressive thing is that DaVinci stands behind its product," says Cunningham. "I have been installing DaVinci imitation slate and composite shake for eight years and have never had any significant product issues. The problems that I have seen throughout the years have been specifically contractor installation defects, and unforeseen issues with snow and ice migration due to Mother Nature.
"I always recommend that extra caution should be taken when switching traditional cedar shakes to synthetic shake roofing as their insulation value and breathability is very much different."
A major project recently completed by Turner Morris is the reroofing of 30 condo units with simulated shake roofing from DaVinci. "These roofs are impact- and fire-resistant with the natural look of real cedar with great shadow lines, but with all the advantages of a man-made product," says Cunningham. "Best of all, they have a 50-year limited warranty, so this is a great investment for the community."
Turner Morris isn't the only Colorado roofer who believes in cedar shake roofing alternatives from DaVinci. See Contractors Return to DaVinci Products for another great story!

We pride ourselves on being a sustainable business. We ensure all materials sourced are through suppliers of sustainable wood, ensuring that the timber has been grown and managed with sustainability in mind.
Wood is one of the hardest materials to recycle, so much goes to waste. It is nice to know that we are making an impact on the environment. I have a young family and I still want there to be woodland and parkland for my kids in the future.
As an eco-friendly business we choose to pay considerably more for our waste collection, ensuring none of our by product ends up in landfill. The small changes we make everyday adds up in the long run, for example everything is turned off at the plug when finished with or that is not in use.
To be known as a sustainable business has become very important to clients, everybody buys into everything, from food providence to delivery miles. These days people want to know where it came from, is it sustainable? And has it had the lowest impact possible on the surrounding environment.
To follow the eco-friendly ethos sometimes is not the cheapest option, however these costs we are happy to incur as it gives us a peace of mind that we are doing things right.
Our advice to other companies is that, it’s the way to go! Going forward it will be the only way to operate as natural resources become scarcer, material costs will rise. One way to combat this is to use materials that are sustainably produced/harvested.

97. I am the Bread of Life (John 6:48).
He is at the core of our sustenance. Everything we need, we can find in Him. He alone can provide the deepest of our needs. This is the nature of Jesus. His is not a religion to touch only the religious corners of our lives. Instead, He is all things to us and His presence in our lives brings exactly what is needed at the very core of our being. He is everything to us. Those who follow Him must achieve such clear focus if they are to find the true path of discipleship. Those who seek Him as an add-on to their current lives will never be satisfied. He is the Bread. He is the One who gives and sustains life in every imaginable way.

BEIJING (Reuters) – China must eradicate the African swine fever epidemic as soon as possible, and make sure the country is free of the disease, the country’s agriculture ministry said at an emergency meeting on the outbreak on Tuesday.
The comments came after Liaoning province in northeastern China said it will increase inspections at pig farms and markets, and strengthen the monitoring of hog transportation, following the nation’s first African swine fever case that was reported there last Friday.
Local authorities must step up their coordination and eradicate the epidemic as soon as possible to safeguard the stable and healthy development of the hog industry, China’s deputy agriculture minister Yu Zhen said on Tuesday.
China will tighten quarantine measures at the border and launch widespread inspections, according to the statement published on the website of China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
Local authorities must improve oversight of veterinarians, guide pig farms to step up bio-safety management, and promote the upgrade of the hog industry, the ministry said.
China last week culled some 913 hogs near Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning, and banned transportation of hogs from the affected areas, following the outbreak.

If you mention a clock that receives its time via radio, most people will think of one taking a long wave signal from a station such as WWVB, MSF, or DCF77. A more recent trend however has been for clocks that set themselves from orbiting navigation satellites, and an example comes to us from [KK99]. It’s a relatively simple hardware build in that it is simply an Arduino Nano, GPS module, and e-ink display module wired together, but it provides an interesting exercise in running through the code required for a GPS clock.
It does however give us a chance to remember the story from last year surrounding WWVB, as a budget proposal last year mooted the prospect of the closure of the Fort-Collins-based time signal transmitter. Were that to happen an estimated 50 million American clocks would lose their reference, and while their owners could always update them manually, there will always be time-based systems to which that won’t be applied for whatever reason. Europeans meanwhile are safe in their time transmissions for now , but in case they think they have their mains grid to fall back on it’s worth remembering the time they lost six seconds.
GPS satellite image: USAF [Public domain].
The NIST stations in Hawaii and Colorado are the home of WWV, WWVH, and WWVB. The oldest of these stations, WWV, has been broadcasting in some form or another since 1920; making it the longest continually operating radio station in the United States. Yet in order to save approximately $6.3 million, these time and frequency standard stations are potentially on the chopping block.
What does that mean for those who don’t live and breathe radio? The loss of WWV and WWVH is probably a non-event for anyone outside of the amateur radio world. In fact, most people probably don’t know they even exist. Today they’re primarily used as frequency standards for calibration purposes, but in recent years have been largely supplanted by low-cost oscillators.
But WWVB on the other hand is used by millions of Americans every day. By NIST’s own estimates, over 50 million timepieces of some form or another automatically synchronize their time using the digital signal that’s been broadcast since 1963. Therein lies the debate: many simply don’t believe that NIST is going to shut down a service that’s still actively being used by so many average Americans.
The problem lies with the ambiguity of the statement. That the older and largely obsolete stations will be shuttered is really no surprise, but because the NIST budget doesn’t specifically state whether or not the more modern WWVB is also included, there’s room for interpretation. Especially since WWVB and WWV are both broadcast from Ft. Collins, Colorado.
What say the good readers of Hackaday? Do you think NIST is going to take down the relatively popular WWVB? Are you still using devices that sync to WWVB, or have they all moved over to pulling their time down over the Internet? If WWVB does go off the air, are you prepared to setup your own pirate time station?
