We all arrived at the Bovington Tank Museum with our faces pressed against the window, staring at all the incredible military vehicles surrounding the place. This happened as soon as we saw street signs warning of ‘Tanks Crossing’. We were lucky enough that when we got to our pitch, we were around 50 yards away from the line of Tanks which were parked up ready for the weekend’s displays. As much as it did distract us a little from getting set up, it was one of those things you get at Tankfest which you just don’t get at any other show.
The show itself was a sell out for the 2nd year running, and you could tell! The place was packed full of re-enactors and tank enthusiasts, who were treated to some fantastic displays. We spent all our time on the stall, so we didn’t get to see much of it ourselves. We were however treated to a couple of fantastic flyovers, including another opportunity to see a Spitfire in action. The sound of Tanks on the move was ever present, and we could feel the pyrotechnics from the battle finale from the traders field.
We met loads of great people as always across the weekend – traders and customers alike. It was great to chat to the guys from Aces High next door, who had some fantastic pieces of art on show (last year the boss treated himself to a great portrait of a Spitfire for the office!). The whole place had a great atmosphere and it was a pleasure to be there. There were loads of old faces at the stall as well, including many people who we met at last year’s Tankfest. A special mention goes out to Nick who popped along with some chocolate cake for us, which was a particular highlight of the weekend!
We had a great time at Tankfest as always, and look forward to heading back again next year. For now though our attention turns to the Yorkshire Wartime Experience, which kicks off in just over 2 weeks!

Rihanna Teams up with Dior... Do You Know What this Means?
Just when we thought Rihanna could not slay our lives any more... think again my friends. On top of being the new creative director for Puma, the reigning Queen of all things social media, and our generation's biggest fashion icon, she is now named the FIRST African American face of Dior.
The Dior campaign is called "Secret Garden IV." The creative direction comes from photographer, Steven Klein, and RiRi's personal stylist Mel Ottenberg. And of course the photoshoot was in Palace of Versailles since nothing says Rihanna like a royal setting. As you can see, Rihanna's photos are immaculate. The editing is edgy and mysterious, somewhat Kimye Balmain Paris-esque.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm really excited to see what this campaign is all about. It was not only a big move for Rihanna but an even bigger move for Dior as they have today's "It" girl representing their brand. We all know anything Rihanna touches turns to gold... so let's see how She turns Dior up.
Check out the teaser video for the Fall/Winter 15 campaign. It features some of Rihanna's new songs "Only If for a Night" off of her upcoming album.

Did you take the pump apart and check the impeller for anything in it? Might want to do that before going RMA. I’ve only had one D5 make noise and it was right after fully bleeding a system and then running it at close to full speed. Never found anything wrong inside and it was replaced by EK.
Check impeller as suggested. Use some specific product to clean it and should be fine!
I haven't pulled it from the system yet, but I did check it before installing it. While bleeding and testing the system I had an inline filter installed. However this noise only began a few weeks after the final assembly.
When I take it out I'll check it for debris again.

Are you waiting for your 1099 forms to arrive so you can start preparing your tax return? Or do you need to obtain copies of older ones for some other reason? If you answered yes to either, there are easy ways to retrieve the forms. Watch this video to find out more about recovering 1099 forms.
Hi, I'm Amir from TurboTax with some helpful tips on how to recover your 1099 tax form.
As tax time approaches, are you still in need of your 1099? Or maybe you’re trying to track down one from a previous year? Don't worry—there are easy ways you can retrieve the forms you need to file.
If you worked as an independent contractor or received any other payment that needs to be reported on a 1099, then you should reach out to the person or business that paid you. The payer should send you a copy of your 1099 by January 31st. Keep in mind that if your total payments for the prior year are under $600, the IRS threshold, they may not need to send you a 1099.
Regardless of whether or not you receive a 1099 from someone, you are required to report all of your taxable income on your tax return. Some payers may not send a 1099 even if they are over $600 in payments, so don’t rely on 1099s to keep track of all the income you have made during the year.
If you are looking for 1099s from earlier years, you can contact the IRS and order a “wage and income transcript”. The transcript should include all of the income that you had as long as it was reported to the IRS. All you need to do is fill out a Form 4506-T and mail or fax it off to the IRS.
However, if the income was not reported to the IRS, then it won’t appear on this transcript. For example, if a payer didn’t send a 1099 to the IRS, the income you received from them won’t be included.
What Is the IRS Form 1099-MISC?

Westfield's footballers could count themselves unfortunate to suffer their first home defeat of the season against table-topping opposition this afternoon (Saturday).
The Westies had most of the play and the chances, but were edged out 1-0 by Macron Store Southern Combination Football League Division Two leaders Bosham at a sunny Parish Field.
Asher Grindle on the ball for Westfield.
Westfield produced a very good performance against a side which is eight points clear at the top of the table and unbeaten away from home all season, but just lacked a finishing touch in front of goal.
Sam Ellis was denied by a point blank save from Bosham goalkeeper Kieran Magee following a good cross by Asher Grindle prior to the game's major talking point.
Bosham defender Andy Probee was booked for bringing down Ellis right on the edge of the box, although Westfield felt he was the last man and the colour of the card should've been red. Charlie Cornford struck the resulting free kick just wide.
Jimmy Ruston sent a looping header just over for Bosham, while at the other end, Cornford was just off target with a powerful drive and put an angled effort into the side-netting, and Ellis saw a deflected shot saved.
Romeo Ugbene closes down a Bosham opponent.
Bosham grabbed the all-important goal in the 37th minute. Amid a suspicion of offside, Martyn Durrant bundled over Nick Edginton in the left-hand side of the box as Westfield looked at it and Bradley Miles sent Harry Stapley the wrong way with the resulting penalty.
Westfield had a penalty shout for handball turned down during a bright start to the second half. Cornford then skipped past two defenders before lifting his shot over the outrushing Magee and was really unlucky to see it strike the underside of the crossbar.
Durrant sent a 25-yard free kick narrowly wide before Ruston struck the crossbar with his left foot at the other end. Cornford's deflected shot at the end of a fine run was saved and Ellis then had a 25-yard drive fingertipped over.
Westfield almost grabbed a comical equaliser in the third minute of added time. Stapley came forward from a set-piece, which looked like it had come to nothing when the ball ended up in the hands of Magee.
Charlie Cornford and Sam Winter pressurise a Bosham opponent.
With Westfield's goal empty, Bosham's goalkeeper looked to clear the ball quickly but made a hash of his kick. The ball struck a player just yards in front of Magee and rebounded to Westfield substitute Romeo Ugbene, who had a great chance to score but his shot was blocked near the line by Bosham defender Pat Bulbeck.
Westfield: H. Stapley, May, Durrant, Ward, McGuigan, Winter, Adams, Ellis, Grindle, Carey (Ugbene 68), Cornford (Fraser-Bates 81). Subs not used: Barrett, Cochrane, Dicken.

Host Jim Baugh did an outstanding job organizing the 1st Annual Kittitas Valley's Fall Gathering of Stone Age Craftsman at the Rock'n Tomahawk Ranch near Ellensburg, Washington! It was a resounding success! Most of the local knappers pitched in during the week and virtually guaranteed the success.
Special RECOGNITION goes to Co-Host Mike Tari who did most of the heavy lifting! Anyone that has hosted or help host a knap-in knows the amount of work required for a successful event. Mike exemplifies the dedication and can-do spirit that PSK members have come to appreciate at our knap-ins. And this is not the only knap-in where Mike has made a significant contribution. For as many years as I've attended Ed Thomas' Goldendale Knap-in, Mike has always been there ahead of everyone else, working hard to get things ready. On behalf of the all the knappers and attendees at the Kittitas Knap-in - THANKS MIKE!
Special recognition also go to the owners of the Rock'n Tonahawk Ranch, Bobbi and Bernice Best. Impeccable sources give most of the credit to Bernice (Bobbi said he was just along for the ride)!
For almost two years, the PSK has been trying to start a new knap-in in the eastern part of Washington to make it easier for our eastern members to attend. A lot of knappers were interested and Jim stepped up and did the heavy lifting. He found an ideal location at the Rock'n Tomahawk Ranch - plenty of room for camping and knapping, beautiful area and ideal weather for an October knap-in.
While the 'official' start date was Saturday, Oct 8th, many knappers arrived early Friday to 'help'. So many arrived early that there was little left to do by Friday night but start knapping.
Saturday started off with a bang. Newest PSK member, Lois Dwoshak, who flew down from Juneau, Alaska, brought some authentic Alaska Sourdough and made pancakes for the potluck breakfast - fantastic!
Immediately after breakfast chips began to fly! The half dozen 'newbies' took advantage of the free rock and free instruction from the likes of Jim Miller, Stu Murdock, Cole Hurst, Richard Urata and Brian Knapp. The son and daughter-in-law of the owner of the ranch tried their hand at knapping as well. Bobbi Jr., with coaching from his new mentor Brian Knapp, went on to win the 2" Goat competition against some fierce challenges by almost 20 knappers!
Richard Urata started a couple of 'community points' with about 20 knappers contributing and signing the points. These points went to the host, Jim Baugh and ranch owner, Bobbi Sr. A display case of points knapped at the two-day event also went to the owner of the Ranch and included contributions from Jim Miller, Stu Murdock and a number of other fine knappers.
Saturday's Potluck Dinner, a PSK standard, featured beef stew, a whole poached salmon, lasagna, fried chicken, Teriyaki Chicken, local fresh corn on the cob, baked and fried potatoes (also local), chips, salads, pies, cakes, peach cobbler, etc, etc, etc!
The rest of the evening was spent around the campfire - telling stories and trying to solve the world's problems .
Sunday was pretty much a repeat - potluck breakfast of sourdough pancakes and sausage, followed by lots of knapping. The only interruption was a little fishing at the stock pond adjacent to the knapping area. Several attempts by a couple of knappers using various yielded no fish even though they were rising to tiny flies. As luck would have it, Reefer remembered he had a fly rod in his camper. Five minutes later and he'd landed a fine 17" rainbow, followed shortly by a 14" cutbow.
This was such a fine knap-in that there were still a dozen knappers still around at 5:00 pm Sunday evening. Everyone hated to leave and most only did so after Jim assured everyone he'd host another one next year, same time, same place!
** Newbie and winner 2" Goat competition!

Who goes to Family Summer?
Family Summer is open to all families with children 0-15 years old. Families wishing to come with children older than 15 can participate only if those children are separately admitted to be part of the team of counselors.
I have 4 children under 8 years old, how can this be a vacation for us?

How many Families will go to Family Summer 2019?
Between 25 and 30 families will attend Family Summer 2019.

Fleece jacket, rain jacket/poncho, rain boots for kids or extra pair of sneakers, swimsuit, water shoes/sandals for rafting, flashlight, small backpack for hikes and day trips, water bottles (for adults and kids) or camelback backpacks, altitude sickness medicine.
For clothing planning purposes, is there a laundromat nearby?
There are two coin laundry washers and dryers at the hotel.
Is there internet or WiFi at the Pines Lodge?
Yes, there is a business center with high speed connections and free WiFi throughout the hotel.

Disclaimer: Even if you don’t have short hair, you can certainly apply these tips as well.
Let’s be straight! You’ve felt the urge to cut your hair, you’ve done your research and you arrived at the hair salon with the idea of exactly how you want to look. You’ve cut your hair, now what?
Most of you may find it difficult to cope with short hair, even after leaving the salon and having to learn how to style it on your own. Even though it may seem the easiest task in the world, it’s not. Short hair can be a challenge to style, especially if your hair is hard to manage.
But why do we cut our hair? Is it a sense of liberation? Or just to fit in with the latest runway trends? I would say, for me, it’s a combination of both.
Being raised in a conservative environment, I’ve learned that for a woman to cut her hair takes a boost of confidence that challenges the constant social demands on how the audience perceives the female figure. For this reason, we feel motivated to take the decision and change our image.
Ironically, after taking this decision, most women feel a sense of regret, in the majority of cases, because they don’t learn how to style or manage it for their daily activities.
Hope you enjoy! And don’t forget to try them and tag me to see your recreations.

Hiking trails are spread everywhere across the mountains. There is something for everyone in the Sonora Pass region, as there are all kind of trails, easy, intermediate and high elevation and also long day adventures. Eagle Meadow is located east of Highway 108, approximately half an hour away.
There are three easy, natural, wonder trails. The first one is Columns of the Giants. It is a one way, quarter mile (0.25 miles/0.4 km) trail located next to the Pigeon Flat Campground, which is approximately 1.5 mi/2.4 km east of Dardanelles Resort. It is an easy trail, that takes you to an unusual geologic formation with magnificent views of basalt columns, reminding of the Devil’s Postpile.
The second one is Trail of the Gargoyles. It is a 1.5 mi/2.4 km, one way trail, taking you to some strangely shaped, volcanic, rock formations, called Trail of the Gargoyles. To reach this trail, drive east from Strawberry to the Herring Creek Road turnoff on the right.
When reaching the overlook up the trail, you get a spectacular view of a canyon and mountains. The third trail is the Trail of the Ancient Dwarfs. It is a one way, 5 mi/8 km hike, leading you through a forest of ancient dwarf trees. A visit to this trail is best combined with a view of the ancient Bennett Jupiter, because they are both near Eagle Meadow.

For a couple weeks now, the Health Academy Junior class has been presented with a course on public health. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Ms. B and Ms. Jackie from Public Health Solutions speak to the students about the social determinants of health, health inequities, public health careers, community life expectancies, etc.
Health equity is defined as a fair opportunity to live a long, healthy life no matter your identity or social condition. “-Isms” such as racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. all apply to certain situations, leading to health injustices. Students were also taught the differences between empathy and equality. They participated in a very interesting activity in order to realize how privileged their lives are compared to the lives of others.
Over the summer, a student from one of the two Human Body Systems classes will be selected to have a paid internship with the organization. The students have learned that health should not only be determined as being in a fit condition but also as having a healthy mind and soul. Overall, the Health Academy students have really enjoyed studying about the necessities of being involved in a healthy community.

If you suffer from herpes, not all vegetables are good for you. There are a class of vegetables called nightshades, which lead to inflammation and chronic muscle, joint and nerve pain. During outbreaks, it is important to omit night shade plants. Unfortunately, these vegetables tend to increase the inflammatory process making symptoms worse. When we have herpes lesions, the skin is already irritated and inflamed. The last thing you want to do is fuel the burning fire from within.
If you are in outbreak mode or you are getting outbreaks frequently, I would avoid nightshade vegetables, fruits and spices.
Hot sauce- I know. That’s a hard one to swallow. You must believe me when I say, you are better off without them.
My logical brain said, “If Abreva works for HSV1 on the face, and it does for me, why can’t it be used in the genital area?” (I have been positively diagnosed with genital HSV1 by way of a very painful biopsy) Thanks for the info, I will give it a try as I am in the midst of a breakout that won’t stop. I’ve counted 5 different lesions, each at a different stage of healing. As soon as one closes, another erupts! I’ve read two thirds of Dr. Kelly’s book and have learned so much. Thank you!! I’ll be back!

Love might not cost a thing but it helps if you're hella rich.
Sophie Monk: She can sing, she can dance, she can act all the while being as funny as she is beautiful.
Literally the total package, but what's happening with her financially?
We can't help but ask: What is Sophie Monk's net worth?
The answer: Well, she certainly wasn't dating millionaire Bachelorette contestant Stu Laundy for his cash.
Financially speaking, Sophie is very comfortable!
What is Sophie Monk's net worth?
Sophie Monk's estimated net worth is $AUD6 million, according to multiple sources including The Rich List.
The 38-year-old has never confirmed this figure, but she hasn't denied it either.
Last year, her pal Jackie O voiced what we were all thinking, saying, "People would think that you are worth millions!"
Side stepping, Soph replied, "I'm not rolling in it but I think for a single woman of my age, I'm happy."
How did Sophie Monk make her money?
Sophie's career kicked off in 1999 when she won reality show Popstars and became a member of the pop group Bardot.
The singer also had a very successful solo career before making the move to America, where she starred in numerous films including Click, Spring Breakdown, and Date Movie.
Sophie returned to Australia and found fame again as a media personality, working on Aussie TV and radio shows.
We fell in love with her all over again last year when she became Australia's first celebrity star for Channel Ten's The Bachelorette.
Sophie Monk's salary for The Bachelorette?
Brisbane's Courier Mail claimed that Sophie took home a stunning $300,000 for her season.
According to numerous reports, Sophie's banking a solid $1 million to host the inaugural season of Love Island Australia.
There has been no confirmation on that figure, although Nine's Director of Television Michael Healy seems very happy with the network's newest star.
"Sophie is the perfect fit for Love Island Australia - she's fun and real. What you see is what you get," he shared.
Last April, Soph purchased a pretty flash mansion on the Gold Coast for a cool $1.1 million.
Sophie is about to return to our screens as the host of Love Island.

Alias, or mailNickname, is a value assigned to mail-enabled Office 365 recipients. The value of the alias must be unique for Office 365 Groups.
The name given to the team is composed of “msteams,” an underscore, and the Azure Active Directory object identifier for the team. The alias is derived from the name and the SMTP address uses the alias and the default tenant domain. Users only ever see the display name of a team, so having such a value in its name doesn’t make any difference.
Make sure that any alias you pass to New-Team is unique as the cmdlet will fail if you try to use a value that already exists for another object in the tenant.

Both sides withdrew their troops according to a previously negotiated agreement.
Chinese and Indian troops have both withdrawn from a disputed border region, China’s Foreign Ministry announced Wednesday. The mutual withdrawal ended a two-week long stand-off that cast a shadow over Chinese President Xi Jinping’s first official visit to India.
The stand-off in the disputed region of Ladakh began just prior to Xi’s arrival in India on September 18. PLA troops crossed the Line of Actual Control (LoAC) that separates Indian and Chinese-controlled territory. The PLA troops were met by Indian forces; at the height of the stand-off, each side had about 1,000 troops in the area.
The stand-off continued until late last week, when Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and her Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. “Both nations sat down and resolved it,” Swaraj told reporters after the meeting. The two sides agreed to withdraw their troops to their previous positions on either side of the LoAC. Withdrawals began on September 26 and wrapped up September 30. China’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that the process had been completed as planned. “On Sept. 30, the frontier defense troops of the two countries completed simultaneous withdrawal according to the steps formulated by the two sides and restored peace and tranquility in the area,” the ministry stated in a press release.
At the same time, however, Modi called for a “satisfactory resolution” of the border issue, a stance that Xi echoed as well. Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations during his U.S. tour this week, Modi again expressed his confidence that “India and China are capable of resolving issues through talks.” Both sides have in theory indicated their willingness to negotiate a settlement to the issue, but the devil, obviously, is in the details — the give-and-take and compromise that would be required to solve the border dispute.
In the meantime, both sides stressed that border stand-offs could be a result of misunderstanding rather than malice. In a monthly press briefing, a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman emphasized that “it is quite natural for some incidents to happen along the China-India border” because the border is not demarcated. During a press conference during Xi Jinping’s visit, Modi agreed that confusion over the exact location of the LoAC caused many of the border incidents. He suggested that China and India resume talks to clarify to LoAC.
With the recent stand-off resolved, both sides now have a new opportunity to make good on their promise that the border issue will not hinder the overall bilateral relationship.

Of course, this was a disappointment to Invoice, but he continues to push on. He is the author of four publications, all available at Amazon. To this day, Invoice carries on to compete and take the concept of baseball to each corner of the world. I admire him simply because even though baseball didn’t always embrace him, he has been a real credit score to the game. Invoice Lee and baseball, a fifty year love affair that carries on to this day.

The Schloss Lasserhof is a small palace at the Hellbrunner Allee. Whilst the Hellbrunner Allee was created in 1650, most of the bigger nearby courts pre-date this phase. The Lasserhof did as well - and was extended afterwards to become "Schloss" Lasserhof" (meaning "Palace" in German).
The noble families that owned the Lasserhof initially were the Dückher until 1677 and the Counts von Martinitz afterwards. In the late 17th century, Prince Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun founded the Rupertiorden, a knight order with the objective in fostering Salzburg′s military and offering rewards for military officials.
The Prince Archbishop endowed the order with the Lasserhof. High-ranking officials of the Rupertiorden were obliged to live in celibate. The Rupertiorden existed until 1811. Only with the turbulent times of the Napoleonic Wars and the secularisation of Salzburg, the Rupertiorden was dissolved and the Lasserhof became private property. In the 19th century, the Lasserhof was modernised with a neo-Baroque façade.
In 1931, a new wing was built in a Historicist style to blend in with the existing parts of the building. In 1952, the Lasserhof was turned into a Hotel called "Hotel Kaiserhof". In 1967, it was re-named into "Rupertihof" - which has been linked to two events. The obvious one is the role that the Lasserhof played for the Rupertiorden; but there was also a very shaping owner of the building precisely 100 years earlier, an entrepreneur called Rupert von Imhof after whom it was said to be re-named.
In 2004, the Lasserhof was renovated once again; this time with a particularly outstanding effort that included the addition of yet another Historicist wing. By the end of this construction phase, the Lasserhof became the headquarter of Gössl, one of the most important manufacturers and design brands of Tracht or traditional Austrian clothing. Gössl has a shop and show rooms at the top-floors of the Lasserhof; the rest of the building, which is now called "Gwandhaus", is dedicated to a small exhibition on the development of Tracht and a gourmet restaurant.
Since 2004, the Gwandhaus has developed into a popular meeting point in Salzburg, with concerts, art openings and other events being held here. These events include of course frequent Tracht fashion shows and design presentations. Note that some smaller side-buildings of the original Lasserhof are not directly associated with the Gwandhaus anymore. This includes most importantly the Meierei (the former administration of the original court) at the Hellbrunner Allee.

This 7th edition has been completely redesigned and updated. With a scale of 1: 1 740 000 this map includes neighbours Mozambique and Malawi. Despite their proximity, these two countries are in many ways very different. Mozambique was a Portuguese colony – it had almost 500 years of Portuguese activity in the region – and has gone through years of conflict. Malawi on the other hand – formally Nyasaland and a British protectorate – has experienced peaceful political transitions throughout its modern existence. Yet both countries are poor and underdeveloped, with agriculture still being one of the main economic activities.
Widely regarded as one of Africa’s friendliest and safest destinations Malawi has much to offer. With nine national parks, many of which have a wide range of animals including elephant, lion, rhino, hippo, zebra and buffalo, it is a fantastic safari destination. There have been recent efforts to increase the country’s lion population too, which will no doubt have a positive effect on tourism. Popular parks include Liwonde in the south, Kasungu in the east and Nyika in the north. The country also has some great sites for trekking including the Mulanje mountains not far from the capital Blantyre. Emerald green and a gem of country Malawi’s crown jewel is undoubtedly Lake Malawi. The third largest lake in Africa, it offers spectacular snorkeling, water activities and sight seeing. Bordering Lake Malawi’s western side is Malawi’s neighbor, Mozambique.
A Portuguese colony before 1977, tourists flocked to Mozambique to spend days tanning on its tropical beaches, and nights dancing in its Afro-Portuguese colonial resorts or towns – as was epitomized in Bob Dylan’s song by the same name. Almost thirty years of warfare changed much of that. In 1993 Mozambique finally achieved peace with a democratically elected government and stability. Almost immediately tourists began returning to this tropical paradise. Although the industry has grown much since the end of the war – as much as 37% a year in some years – a limited infrastructure continues to plague the country’s attempt to reach its real tourism potential. Various resorts and national parks such as the Gorongosa that were decimated during the war period are slowly being restored, while beach lodges and developments at some of the island archipelagos attract sun-seeking tourists. The areas of Inhambane, Vilanculos, Bazaruto, Ponta de Ouro and the Archipelago das Quirimbas are important holiday centres, while the Niassa reserve in the far north is a large, remote but significant wildlife reserve with many animals including elephant and wild dog.
Our Mozambique and Malawi map includes primary and secondary roads in both countries, border posts, accommodation options and fuel availability, national parks and distances. It also has a street-plan inset of Maputo – Mozambique’s bustling capital.

The sun shone but… | Phil – Refuelled!
The sun shone, but without the comforting warmth we take for granted during summer. Shadows were still sharply defined, yet a weird feeling of gloom prevailed, despite only light cloud presence across the sky. A gentle breeze, usually welcome, brought a strange chill. Then the sky darkened further, as if a storm were imminent, although the clouds were no more dense. Now the breeze felt distinctly cold. I watched the sky carefully, taking photographs at intervals, and drinking tea. Then the trend reversed. The sky lightened. The breeze seemed warmer, as if the harmony of nature had been restored. The moon had moved on.
This post was prompted by the ‘100 word challenge’ here: It is based on my own vivid memory of the solar eclipse in 1999.
Wow! What stunning writing! I really loved the way your writing moved like the moon did going from dark to light! I hope you join again!
This is really beautiful. I enjoyed reading it a lot.

text: For the most part I’m a selfish, resource sucking, windbag around the house. But when it comes to my wife, she has very little she gets excited about so when she does, I get excited too. She’s always been fascinated with fitness, her own and other people’s, and it brings out her truly helpful nature. She was a fat little kid who got fatter in school, then decided one day to get skinny. She did it the right way with proper eating and exercise. She was doing fine until she met me. And then I made her pregnant. Apparently there is some kind of weight gain associated with that and she’s looking to get rid of that. As part of her process, and in preparation for training as a personal trainer, she’s started a blog. I find it boring as all hell (except when she talks about me and how fat I am), but you people out there are boring (and I’m sure fat) so maybe you’ll enjoy it. I recently set her up with a stat counter, so go over there, have a look, and make her feel good about how many hits she gets.

Should we start a Concrete5 Q&A site on Stack Exchange?
Edit: I went ahead and created a trial-balloon site proposal: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/94596/concrete5... if it is to take off, it needs active participation of as many people as possible, so check it out!
Concrete 5's forums are decent, but they are no match to Stack Overflow's Q&A engine. Understandably - the forum is not part of C5's core business. Stack Overflow has dozens of developers working on the engine full time.
Stack Exchange, SO's sister network featuring Q&A sites on a variety of topics, has the Area 51 process for creating new Q&A sites specific to a technology or topic:http://area51.stackexchange.com/... Because SE doesn't want to create ghost towns, they require a pretty big community to gather *before* a new proposal is allowed to even go into private beta, during which time the site is seeded with questions and answers, and its viability determined. The community that wants to form the site also largely decides what is on topic and what is an example of a good question (check out the proposal linked above).
- Easy formatting options, easy insertion of images, etc.
Many CMS communities already have their own very successful Q&A sites there: Drupal (http://drupal.stackexchange.com/), Joomla (http://joomla.stackexchange.com/), Expression Engine (http://expressionengine.stackexchange.com/), and more.
Would it be worth starting a Concrete5 Q&A site on Stack Exchange, and outsource most Q&A there, keeping the forums for real *discussion* only?
Bio: Web dev and designer.
One note though, it is "concrete5" and not "Concrete5". Are you able to update the name?
Someone fixed this while I was asleep :) Which is kind of testament to the power of the engine. Anyone can edit anything (or suggest edits if you're new).
The guys and I discussed this last month when I was in town. How can we help promote this? Tweets, a blog post?
There is now a dedicated "StackOverflow" page and navigation link on concrete5.org. The link is found under Community.
If enough people get in the habit of using Stack Overflow, it could make a future proposal easier to pass.
we're happy to support it. I'll add the link in our newsletter and do my best to spread the good word.
OK, but we need the proposal to go active before that (or start a new one...). I'll write to a community manager and see whether we can get the existing one reopened for one last chance.
I spoke to the CM and unfortunately, as far as site proposals go, what's dead is dead.
I can start a new proposal, but we should organize it so a couple people can seed questions right away, and your newsletter can mention it.
Would it make sense to start, say, a week or two before your next newsletter is due?
There is now a Stack Overflow link in the concrete5.org navigation under Community. The goal of this was to get people used to using Stack Overflow for certain types of questions.
I think it might be better to wait a few months before starting a new proposal.
I am afraid I am always sceptical of new channels for for help. There are already several communication mediums that have been enthusiastically started for concrete5 and pretty much atrophied. In the course of atrophying they have spread resources and placed information in places outside the usual search scope.
My impression is that the current concrete5.org forums and howtos are not as well used or as in depth as they used to be and it would be detrimental to the community if they received even less high-level input as a consequence of a new communication (unless everything switched).
It all comes down to striking a balance between how widely to wave the flag and diluting the resources needed to support that flag waving so far as to become ineffectual.
I see so many benefits.
1. typical reply times, looks like the Wordpress one (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/) is very active and replies are typically within minutes or within the hour. The Drupal one is also fairly quick (http://drupal.stackexchange.com/) but appears to be a little slower than the Wordpress one.
Magento seems to have a very active developer community too.
* The sheer popularity of the system ensures a strong community can grow, and feedback is much more immediate. It's not uncommon for a question to attract really high-quality answers within minutes of being asked. In my experience, this is much, MUCH faster than traditional forums.
Thank you so much for doing this Pekka, I think stackoverflow for developer q/a is the right way to go so if we can get our own silo that would be amazing.
So here's my thoughts on the issue of many "communication mediums", firstly stackoverflow is not a medium for communication, it is a place to ask questions and get answers. We will not be communicating anything in there at all, people will just get their questions answered.
Notice that there is a VERY clear difference between the content of the questions, the stack overflow question has a lot more information and even has a bounty attached to it.
I am confident that had Daenu not posted to stackoverflow, he'd still be waiting for an answer.
so it should go in our forums where we have site owners and developers willing to help other site owners and developers.
Thanks for your feedback guys, glad to hear there's interest in doing this!
Great writeups @jessicadunbar and @Korvin. They echo exactly my thoughts why this might be a net benefit to the C5 community.
As to what needs to be done, spreading the word through Twitter / a Blog post would be really helpful. We still need 49 followers for the proposal, and 40 more highly voted example questions. Anyone who signs up in this phase will be able to participate in the private Beta, and shape direction the site will take.
Examples of questions that would NOT work (say, because they'd be more on topic in the forum under the separation Korvin outlines) would be great as well!
> There are already several communication mediums that have been enthusiastically started for concrete5 and pretty much atrophied. In the course of atrophying they have spread resources and placed information in places outside the usual search scope.
That's a serious concern for sure. I thought about this before making the suggestion - but like others in this thread have said, the SO infrastructure so many advantages that could make this actually work *better* than the forums that it seems like it's worth a shot.
I am in agreement with JohntheFish regarding the risk of diluting resources.
- It helps promote concrete5 to a new audience.
- I imagine many people view a product with a dedicated StackExchange community as being more "legitimate".
- For many, there will be a much greater incentive to answer questions on StackExchange than the concrete5 forum. Due to most StackExchange users using their accounts for getting jobs and networking. Which makes them very focused on earning StackExchange points and badges.
Currently there is an issue with the forums generally serving to answer low level and non-technical questions. The developers who have the knowledge and skill to answer more technical questions often avoid the forums. This leaves technical questions unanswered and pushes the question asker to other venues like IRC.
Considering Korvin's outline of how StackExchange question asking works, this could provide a separate outlet serving a different purpose and a different set of users.
E. You want help implementing the answer"
A great majority of the questions posted on the forums would not qualify for StackExchange. They are often broad and lack specific details.
This still leaves one area unaddressed, technical questions that are suited for the concrete5 forum.
i completely agree with Korvin on this. Stack force people to write a good and clear question.
Why move all developers forum to Stack and keep only editor and other funky forum on C5 ?
While i tend to agree with Korvin, i'm not sure what will happen, if a question of "for" StackOverflow quality is posted in the concrete5 forums? Would a possible answer then be, sorry, we don't answer questions of this level here, please post your question on StackOverflow?
A skilled user is not necessarily a developer - getting an answer like that could draw him away from the concrete5 forums, what would also mean losing a potential supporter.
The current problem is that many skilled developers who know a lot about concrete5 avoid the forums. I think part of this has to do with many forum questions not including specific details, are not written clearly, require a lot of work to coach the question asker to provide useful information, and could be self-answered by doing a search of the forum, documentation, and tutorials. This makes answering questions much more time consuming and requires a lot of patience. Patience some don't have or have the time to invest.
The core team currently does not have enough time to work on the core and look through the forum questions to see what needs answering. This means many of the technical questions on the forum go unanswered.
There are patient and skilled developers answering questions on the forum, but there are only so many of them and they only have so much time. They can't get to all questions, which means some fall through the cracks.
If StackExchange could provide a channel for clear, well formed questions that can be more easily understood and answered. I think it could be a compliment to the forums and attract skilled developers to ask and answer questions.
As an experiment, there is no harm in trying.
Ideally yes, of course it would be great to have the right place for the right question. But i'm wondering who will decide which question will go where? Basically the user will, but who will then filter out 'unsuitable' questions and will these then get rejected, and by whom?
"but who will then filter out 'unsuitable' questions and will these then get rejected, and by whom?"
If we use exchangecore's idea to create an area of concrete5.org that has StackExchange questions, we can include question guidelines for forums and for StackExchange. Something like Korvin's descriptions could be at the top of each page.
If users choose to ignore the guidelines and post the wrong type of question on StackExchange, these "unsuitable" questions will be rejected by StackExchange moderators and users with high reputation scores.
I agree, this sounds like being practicable, while not affecting concrete5 forums in any way.
Just a thought, would it be possible so that we could have a "read only" section on the forums which automatically pulls in questions posted to the Stack Exchange and links to them? This way it's made known that Concrete5 encourages questions to go on SE simply by the fact that there are links to it, additionally it provides the benefit for users who do post questions there getting the exposure of the SE community as well as the concrete5 community.
I think this is an excellent idea. The StackExchange section could have a pinned message describing the distinction between the regular forum and StackExchange and how the questions are different.
what about the concrete5 forums then? Should there be another pin saying "don't ask too advanced questions here, go to StackOverflow instead'...?
Just wondering how this should be handled in practice.
I'm not sure if there are enough questions asked on our CMS at SO.
What I'm missing a bit in this thread is the fact that SO is having tags not only as topics but also for subjects that aren't big enough to have an own site.
If you look at the number of followers/questions our tags are having it shows that we aren't by far big enough to get our own site.
For comparison the "drupal" tag has 4.3K followers & 16.4K questions.
"joomla" has 2.3K followers & 13K questions.
So if we take the amount of questions that would fit for SO (Korvin: "A great majority of the questions posted on the forums would not qualify for StackExchange. They are often broad and lack specific details.") and the amount of questions being asked in here that wouldn't fit on SO at all, In my opinion we aren't a community big enough to have our own site on SO.
Also an editor really can't be bothered to ask code questions on SO.
The question Korvin mentioned is mine, BUT I surely wouldn't have had to go on SO if our docs were complete. I remember when working with c5 5.6 I had always an answer in here or when reading our proper docs (googling around usually led me to concrete5.org).
BTW As soon as I have some spare time (it will be next week) I'll write some docs too.
What I'm trying to say is that we should first complete our own docs, especially the developer part, and if then there is still the need of an own SO site, we could think about.
Don't forget that very often people don't invest time in Google researches nore they are reading the docs nore they are byting thru the source code. It is easier to cry "Help Me!" in the forums than googling, byting & trying around to get a solution from the CMS itself.
Also I'm agreeing with JohnTheFish that more channels aren't necessarily better to find a solution.
As for the numbers, while I won't argue your point, I'd just say I think maybe it's a bit of a "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" scenario. If we can somehow qualify, it will likely add fuel to the Concrete5 fire.
I think a specific Stack Exchange site might work much better than the Concrete5 tag on Stack Overflow ever will.
On SO, you are limited by the extremely strict on-topicness guidelines of the whole site. Those guidelines are enforced by moderators and users that don't necessarily know anything about C5.
On a SE site of our own, we could work out for ourselves what is on topic and what isn't. Chances are we are going to be slightly more lenient than SO, allow good questions that focus on non-programming aspects of the system that would likely be closed as off-topic on SO (usage, customization, configuration...) and generally be less harsh than SO has to be with its 10,000+ new questions every day.
Please don't missunderstand me. I am not against a concrete5 SO site at all! I'm just doing a bit the "devils advocate...." and saying that if the docs were ready, me personally I wouldn't have to go to the IRC or SO that often though.
And I totally agree that on a SO site we could make the rules and it would be better than any tag will ever be.
Right. That's certainly a fair point!
Those numbers are a feedback loop, if we have a link in the header saying "Developer Support" that goes to a stackoverflow tag, I'd bet we would get a lot more questions. It's just a matter of putting some effort into building that community.
In terms of documentation, I agree we should continue to work on documentation but I disagree that we need to halt any other community activities until that is resolved. Part of what made v6 documentation more "complete" is that we had a lot of questions and answers developer or not in the forums. Encouraging more of that can only help.
On the question of multiple avenues of communication, IMHO that is a red herring. Stack overflow is not a way to communicate, it's a platform for asking and answering questions.
I think part of the misunderstanding here is that forums are for discussion while stack overflow is for answers. We have tools to make a discussion forum work as an answer platform, but we have no way to restrict extra discussion or prevent the thread from running off onto a different topic.
When I search google for an answer and find a result on concrete5.org, I end up having to wade through tons of discussion to find a suitable answer. Stackoverflow doesn't have this issue because stackoverflow doesn't allow discussion. For that reason any time I'm googling for an answer to ANYTHING and I see a stackexchange site, I go there instead of any other resource.
I agree with Korvin that just by having a StackExchange concrete5 community, it would likely attract developers and drive more technical questions and answers. The worst thing that could happen is we don't make it to the next stage or we do get our own community and it isn't active enough to be sustained. It could potentially be a benefit too, so it seems worth trying even as an experiment.
If we don't get enough followers and questions to move into the next phase, then I think we should look into creating a StackOverflow page under the Community navigation link. On this page we could link to existing StackOverflow concrete5 related tags and include information that describes what StackOverflow is, is not, and what it is suited for. This could address the issue of diluting the concrete5 communication channels.
For anyone who hasn't followed the concrete5 StackExchange community proposal, please do. After you follow the proposal, you will have 5 votes that you can use to upvote any existing questions. You will also have the ability to write 5 example StackExchange style questions.
Following can be done by anyone, users, designers, and developers.
We can use some more enthusiasts.
If you haven't followed this proposal, please sign up.
And of course vote for questions that are below a 10, no point in having questions with 11, 12, ...20 points for example!

Taking inventions from subject to reality can prove difficult. In fact, actually is quite confusing. I’ve just lately been down that path certain times myself, and without using help simple matters end up daunting. Twenty years again I attempted to go it alone and spent tens of thousands with a prototyping house, an engineer and more. Outdoors of finances, I also faced challenges when selecting who to talk to, how to patent as well the path I have to have take when pursuing this is my inventions.
Thinking of these subjects, I produced a list connected with five things to consider about your actual InventHelp Inventions.
Every invention alternatively great idea proposes to solve virtually any problem. Everyday women recognize problems over a regular root. Inventors choose and solve them.
Before pursuing your favorite idea, clearly have an understanding the problem an individuals invention will reduce. Does your admission work? Does your actual invention need an little help? Is it too complicated? Working with any trusted company that a lot of understands design as well engineering helps simplify problems and get solutions.
Once you grasp the problem a person’s idea will repair begin thinking regarding the market all through which you formulation would sell. Is very much it a kitchen product? Maybe that is an automotive new technology? Will it stand alone in its own own category.
Understanding your invention’s market, will help you in per step you remove. You can these days compare it into other products here in that category and also the companies that make those programs. This will help you later when identifying a lender you’d like to be see license your current invention.
If your site choose to disclose a new invention ideas with someone, whether that will be family, an legislation or a trustworthy company for you hope at work with, security will need always prove to be on an individual’s mind. An excellent inventor’s optimal fear would be losing most of their invention clue to someone else.
The quite a few dangerous times can happen to be when then you deal now with an in the open air company at help you may with your InventHelp Invention Service. Don’t forget to ensure these guys have security precautions back in place which will protect a person and your invention. Don’t sign all unless the concept explicitly says it’s right now for protection.
At Inventionland we shield client innovations with a meaningful confidentiality authority that every different employee have sign. As well as well many of us make good our satisfied customers sign the actual Idea Wellbeing Agreement for us. Here is a powerful extra coating of care for or perhaps invention.
When cases online, anyone should certain it’s a new legitimate organization. Always look to set eyes on if these individuals have identified security systems. Some technology companies be found solely attached to the Web, lacking beginnings in the perfect community. Prior to when sending one’s own invention critical information out, initiate sure you know they use a new trusted procure server quite possibly security feature like VeriSign.
I realise that a trustworthy product example is vital to some sort of success for an development. Without a suitable product sample, you should not truly become able within order to understand our invention’s function, manufacturability and after that you’ll contain difficulty grasping a career conversation.
Building the product practice takes good design work, engineering prototyping, each single of which can grow to become quite high price on ones own own. Being well, jumping between why these entities reason confusion a could damage the valuation of an individual’s invention. It certainly is much want the telephone game everyone played with regard to elementary training with each and every peers. Accompanied by each specialized person audio for you, your invention’s message draws lost. Protecting all these necessary procedure together, stops your eye-sight aligned.
There could be a lot of companies that pressure inventors within order to InventHelp patent services the companies invention assumed immediately. Unfortunately, patenting will a quite expensive and time-consuming process any far likewise often success in defeat when a certain inventor is discovered they currently have to flip their invention to both equally interest a real buyer because make out manufacturable.
One of the issues I spur fellow creators to fix a goods sample could be described as to learn unique segments of the invention those further assets it while a lumineux. This equally keeps suppliers and those who could possibly seek with regard to knock off your creation at bay.

Richmond, BC, March 27, 2019--(T-Net)--Photon Control Inc. (TSX: PHO), a leading developer and supplier of optical measurement technologies to the global semiconductor industry, has reported its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018.
Repurchased 1.6 million shares under the Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") in 2018.
"2018 was a record year for Photon Control and we are encouraged by the continued growth of our New Product Introduction funnel, which extends our technology to our customers' existing and next generation platforms," said D. Neil McDonnell, Board Chair and Interim Chief Executive Officer.
"We continue to generate cash from operations to invest in new product development and other disruptive technologies, and to also return capital back to our shareholders through our share buyback program. Our Q4 2018 results were consistent with our prior outlook, reflecting depressed levels of wafer fabrication equipment spending, along with continued inventory reduction strategies by our customers, in light of the prolonged downturn. While we are managing the business with prudent control of expenses during the current industry slow-down, we continue to invest in R&D in support of future growth and are extremely positive about the long-term prospects of the Company and our served markets."
Total revenue of $46.7 million for full year 2018 increased 7% compared to the prior year total of $43.8 million. The record full year revenue for 2018 is attributable to strong overall market conditions in 2018, repeat orders for fiber optic sensors from our customer base, and the release of new products. Fourth quarter 2018 revenue of $8.2 million decreased 25% from the $11.0 million reported in the prior year fourth quarter. The results for the quarter reflect the continued sell through of inventories held by customers following softer demand for semiconductor capital equipment.
Full year gross profit for 2018 increased 10% to $25.6 million, or 55% gross margin versus 53% gross margin for the full year of 2017. The increase in gross profit was due to higher revenue in the current year and the increase in gross margin was due to better leverage of fixed costs due to the higher revenue levels in 2018. Fourth quarter 2018 gross profit decreased 13% to $4.3 million versus the prior year quarter. Gross margin for the quarter increased to 52% compared to 45% in the prior comparable period due to amortization charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 on intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Photon Control R&D Ltd.
Operating expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018 were $3.1 million and $13.1 million compared to $3.6 million and $15.5 million in 2017. When normalized for non-cash and non-recurring charges, adjusted cash operating expenses increased by $0.1 million and $2.4 million for the quarter and year due to an increased labour workforce to support the Company's future growth strategies and higher development costs incurred for new products.
Total comprehensive income for the quarter was $2.6 million or $0.03 per share compared to $2.6 million or $0.02 per share for the comparable period of 2017, while for the year ended December 31, 2018, total comprehensive income was $10.6 million or $0.10 per share versus $5.5 million or $0.05 per share for the comparable period of 2017.
EBITDA for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018 was $2.5 million or 31% of revenue and $15.4 million or 33% of revenue, compared to $2.8 million or 25% of revenue and $14.3 million or 33% of revenue in the same year-ago periods. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and foreign exchange gain or loss. For the comparative period, EBITDA was adjusted to remove the effect of non-recurring items.
As at December 31, 2018, cash on hand was $42.4 million, an increase of $8.1 million from $34.3 million at December 31, 2017. The increase was attributable to the Company's strong operating results and cash flow, offset by $3.0 million deployed toward the share buyback program.
Order backlog (defined as the value of sales orders scheduled to be shipped in the next 6 months) was $13.1 million at December 31, 2018, a decrease from $14.4 million at September 30, 2018 and $18.3 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease in order backlog reflects the record shipments in the first half of 2018, combined with the current slow-down in capital spending from semiconductor manufacturers.
During 2018, the Company re-purchased and cancelled 1,633,225 common shares for a total cost of $3.0 million, in accordance with the current share buyback program. During the period from January 1, 2019 to March 19, 2019, the Company re-purchased 1.6 million common shares toward the NCIB at a cost of $2.2 million.
On August 2, 2018, the Company reported that it had discovered a potential liability related to taxes owed to a foreign jurisdiction. The Company entered into a voluntary disclosure agreement with the taxing authority, limiting the liability to taxes owing from 2013 to 2017 and waiving any applicable penalties. The 2017 comparative financial information were restated to reflect a previously unreported net liability of $1.6 million as at December 31, 2017.
Commenting on the outlook for the business, Mr. McDonnell said, "As a result of continued weakness in capital spending by our customers, we expect Q1 2019 revenues to be in the range of $7.5 to $8.5 million. Despite the current slow-down, we will use our strong financial resources to invest in our strategic initiatives, including development of new products that are expected to add significant revenue as customer introduce these wins, to ensure that we are well-positioned for long-term sustainable growth in revenue and profit. Due to our revenue guidance, coupled with these strategic investments, we anticipate that our EBITDA in the first quarter of 2019 will be in the range of 16 to 20% of revenue. The Company has a strong pipeline of new products under development which contribute to revenue during the prototype and pre-production stages and are expected to add significant revenue as customers introduce these wins into production in the future."
