TORONTO (AP) With a visit to Cleveland to face LeBron James coming up on Saturday, Raptors coach Dwane Casey was worried his team might overlook the Milwaukee Bucks.
Turns out Casey had nothing to worry about. His team took care of the spanking, then added in some embarrassment, too.
Lou Williams scored a season-high 22 points, Jonas Valanciunas added 18 points and 12 rebounds, and the Raptors routed the Bucks 124-82 Friday night.
Toronto matched its largest margin of victory in franchise history, set in a 96-54 victory over Miami on March 19, 2008. On Saturday, the NBA announced an official scoring change, giving the Bucks' John Henson credit for a 2-point shot instead of a 3-pointer.
Milwaukee had won three straight and five of six coming in, but got buried by the Raptors.
Kyle Lowry scored 20 points and Terrence Ross had 13 as the Raptors wrapped up a franchise-record seven-game homestand at 6-1 and became the first Eastern Conference team to reach 10 wins.
Williams connected on five of Toronto's season-high 15 3-pointers, including one each at the end of the first and second quarters. When Williams hit a pair of free throws in the final seconds of the third quarter, it gave Toronto a 101-56 lead. At the time, the 45-point margin represented the biggest lead in franchise history.
The mark didn't last long. Raptors rookie Bruno Caboclo checked in to begin the fourth, the first action of his career, and made an alley-oop slam followed by a 3 that put the Raptors up 109-59. Caboclo's second 3 at 6:01 of the fourth put Toronto up by 52 - 116-64.
The Bucks' previous five defeats this season were by a combined 41 points.
Caboclo said he had ''butterflies in my stomach'' but his performance showed no sign of nerves, finishing with eight points on 3-for-6 shooting.
''That's definitely a memory he'll have forever,'' Toronto's DeMar DeRozan said.
Jabari Parker scored 15 points and Ersan Ilyasova had 14 for a Bucks team playing its third game in four nights, and coming off a triple-overtime win at Brooklyn on Wednesday.
''We didn't do anything but travel yesterday, so I don't think that was an issue,'' Bucks coach Jason Kidd said.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who injured his right ankle in the win against the Nets, was not expected to play after testing the injury during pregame warmups. Minutes before tipoff, however, the Bucks said Antetokounmpo would be available. He came off the bench to replace Khris Middleton at 6:07 of the first and finished with seven points in 15 minutes.
Valanciunas had 12 points and five rebounds in the first, and Williams finished the quarter with a buzzer-beating 3 as Toronto led 37-27 after one.
Williams scored 11 more in the second quarter, including another buzzer-beating 3, as the Raptors led 71-45 at halftime. It was Toronto's highest scoring half of the season, eclipsing the 65 points they scored in the second half against Utah on Nov. 15.
Raptors fans chanted `We want Bruno' as the score got out of hand, roared with approval when the Brazilian rookie entered the game, then cheered his name at every opportunity the rest of the way. Williams mimicked the chants in the locker room after the game and used his cellphone to snap a photo of the media horde waiting at Caboclo's stall. ''Bruno is like Justin Bieber,'' said Nogueira, referring to the Canadian pop star.
Bucks: Milwaukee's previous worst loss this season was a 101-85 defeat at Orlando on Nov. 14. ... Milwaukee's only lead came on a 3 by Brandon Knight in the second minute of the opening quarter.
Raptors: Toronto missed its first four field goal attempts, then closed the first quarter by making 12 of its next 21 shots. ... Rookie C Lucas Nogueira made his NBA debut, picking up two fouls in his first 39 seconds. ... All 13 active players scored at least two points. ... F Tyler Hansbrough (right shoulder) was not available. ... F James Johnson (right ankle) missed his second straight game.
Bucks: Host Wizards on Saturday.
Raptors: At Cavaliers on Saturday.

How do We Wake Up to All of Who We are, the Light and the Shadow, and what we are meant to do here?
How do we embrace our wholeness, and then harness it towards the challenges we are facing?
How do we create thriving organizations where people’s skills, gifts, and passions are unleashed?
When looking through the lens of leadership and the reality of our world - what kind of leaders do we need these days? I believe that now, more than ever before, we desperately need leaders who are deeply self-aware and conscious. Such leaders need to understand how to meet the enormous challenges they face and to develop greater awareness so we can co-create a life-giving future together. In becoming more aware and mindful of what is happening within themselves (first) and others (second), leaders must be able to develop a kind of moment-to-moment awareness of themselves and maintain the inner space to reflect on, understand, and own their assumptions, reactions, emotions, and behaviour.
Awakening is both a state and a process. My work, passion, and commitment is in Facilitating Personal and Organizational Awakening, and there are several ways to embark on this journey. You might be interested in a focused and dedicated one-on-one Executive Coaching process. You might be ready for a deep dive into a year-long Awakened Living program. You might be interested in bringing awakening to your organization, transforming the ways you and your people harness and unleash their commitment, creativity, engagement, and joy. You might be focused on your life purpose and what is next for you on your journey. Whatever your choice is - welcome. I am looking forward to our journey.
I deeply believe in our individual and collective potential of awakening to all of who we are. I believe in living divided no more. I believe in being connected to a sense of purpose and expressing it everywhere one finds herself or himself. I believe that inner work is a path to unleashing our skills, gifts, and creative spark towards a fulfilled and meaningful life. I believe that when leaders model such a way of showing up and invite their people to bring their hearts and souls into the workplace – their organizations thrive.
Why You Would Want to Work With Me.
You – and your organization – are looking for a partner for the next phase(s) of your journey. Someone who is committed, passionate about what they do, willing and able to hold you to your highest standards, highlight your blind spots, amplify your skills/gifts/talents, and stand in the fire with you. Someone who will walk with you the journey of awakening the passion, creativity, vision, dreams, and the creative spark – yours, and of the people in your organization.
Why I Would Want to Work With You.
You are ready for the journey. Possibly, your organization is ready too (or, perhaps, not ready, yet open and willing). You know this journey will have challenges along the way, yet are willing to look beyond it, into what can be possible when showing up in a full, open, and awakened heart and soul. You know that the “good old ways” of doing life don’t work any more. You are ready to open up and embrace a deeper, richer, more challenging and more fulfilling way of showing up in the world. You are ready to awaken - yourself, your people, and your organization.

Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency clocked a three-week high of $8,458 on Bitfinex, adding credence to the short-term bull reversal confirmed last Thursday. Further, the 30 percent rally from $6,425 (April 1 low) proved that the much-feared " death cross " indicator was in fact a bear trap.
While that may be true, a convincing move above $8,500 (falling trendline hurdle as seen in the daily chart) could be considered as an advance indicator of an impending break above $11,700. That's because the breach of the trendline hurdle would signal the end of the downtrend from bitcoin's December all-time high of around $20,000. View A high volume break above $8,500 (falling trendline hurdle would confirm a long-term bearish-to-bullish trend change. A healthy pullback to $7,700-$7,600 could be seen, but will likely be short-lived. A daily close (as per UTC) below the 10-day MA would abort short-term bullish view. Only a break below the weekly 50-MA (currently seen at $6,9510) would revive the bearish outlook.

Young children literally see words and faces differently than adults do, according to new research.
Where adults can most easily comprehend a word when they look at it straight on, children need to look a bit up and to the left. For faces, they need to look a bit up and to the right.
What’s more, previously undetected changes in the brain circuits responsible for processing words and faces accompany these differences, the researchers report in Nature Communications.
“Kids’ window onto the world is different from adults,” says Jesse Gomez, a graduate student in the Stanford University neurosciences PhD program and the lead author of the new study. Studying that window could help researchers better understand how children learn to read and recognize faces—and perhaps better understand dyslexia and autism as well.
Intuitively, if you want to get a good look at something—a word, a face, or pretty much anything else—you ought to look straight at it, and indeed that’s basically what adults do. After all, our eyes’ resolution is highest in the center of vision, called the fovea, so we get the clearest images by looking at something or someone straight on.
Yet even in adults that description is a bit of a simplification, because vision isn’t just about resolution. When it comes to recognizing words and faces, it’s also about how we process and pool the information from our eyes and from what parts of the visual field—the entire range of things we can see, not just the center. Meanwhile, researchers know only a little about visual processing in children and how that processing changes as kids grow up.
To tease things apart and to start to explore how visual processing develops over time in the brain, Gomez, his adviser Kalanit Grill-Spector, a professor of psychology and a member of Stanford Bio-X and the Stanford Neurosciences Institute, and colleagues invited 26 children between the ages of 5 and 12 and 26 young adults between age 22 and 28 into the lab.
There, each participant laid down in an fMRI brain scanner and watched a sweeping bar glide across different places on a screen without moving their eyes. By correlating where the bar was with the regions that lit up on an fMRI image, the team mapped how the visual world is represented on the brain.
In those same subjects, researchers carried out a different scan in which subjects looked at various images, including words and faces, to identify which regions of the brain process faces, words, and other objects. By combining the two scans, the data revealed which parts of the visual field face and word regions were most sensitive to—for example, where in the visual field the brain was looking to find words.
In adults, the visual circuits for both words and faces looked for those things straight ahead—just as the scientists expected.
But the situation is different in children. For one thing, children’s circuits for words process a different region of the visual field, one that is shifted down and to the right, compared to adults. That means that in order to process words most efficiently, kids would need to look a bit up and to the left.
There are also some intriguing differences between vision circuits on left and right sides of the brain, Gomez says. In children, both sides respond fairly similarly to words and faces. But by young adulthood, the left side is more responsive to words, while the right is more responsive to faces, especially when those things are in the center of vision.
That, Gomez says, suggests a kind of competition exists for the prime real estate in the brain region that processes the center of the visual field. “If they both use central vision, you might think they’d be fighting,” Gomez says. The solution seems to be this: face circuits get a larger expanse in the right hemisphere, while word circuits get their pick in the left hemisphere.
Those results could help researchers better understand disorders associated with processing words (such as dyslexia) or faces (such as autism). The results could also help researchers better understand how kids learn to read or recognize faces, although Gomez cautions that much more research is needed before reaching any conclusions.
“There could be a more optimal strategy if we catered to the differences children have from adults,” Gomez says, or “it could be that this is the natural course of development,” in which case adjusting how we teach kids to read, for example, could be counterproductive.
Additional study authors from Stanford include Vaidehi Natu, Brianna Jeska, and Michael Barnett. Grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health funded the research.

Smoking while pregnant could reduce the fertility of baby boys by affecting a key testis gene, according to a University of Aberdeen led study.
Researchers say there is already evidence that there is a greater chance of boys developing abnormal penises and poorly descended or smaller testicles if their mothers smoked during pregnancy. However in a paper that appears online in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism they provide new insights into how this may occur.
It is already known that pregnant women who continue smoking have a higher risk of giving birth to pre-term birth, underweight babies. Such babies also have an increased risk of a wide range of problems, including asthma, developmental abnormalities of the face and behavioural and educational difficulties.
Now researchers have made a new finding that cigarette smoke can affect a key testis gene called DHH. This gene causes the DHH molecule to be released by certain testis cells as a signal to tell other cells what to do and is important in controlling development of the normal testicle.
Normal human fetuses between 11 and 19 weeks of pregnancy were examined by the team who discovered a significant reduction in DHH if the mother smoked.
Dr Paul Fowler, Senior Lecturer in Reproductive Physiology at the University of Aberdeen, led the study which also involved the Macaulay Institute, Aberdeen; the University of Nottingham and the University of Glasgow.
He said: “This is the first time that the gene DHH, which plays a key role in the male’s normal development, has been linked to maternal smoking and fertility problems.
The researchers say cigarette smoke is very complex, consisting of a cocktail of chemicals including a large family of toxic ones called PAHs.
PAHs are known to reduce fertility in adults and in this study they were found to be present at surprisingly high concentrations in the fetal liver. However, the team do not yet understand exactly how PAHs and other chemicals affect the developing fetus in the womb.

As London Fashion Week finishes and moves on to Milan, I thought I'd finish my little trio of LFW posts with my favourites from Day 5! I only have 3 today, as I think there were less shows on Day 5, and not as many of the big names etc.
I think the biggest show of the day was Amanda Wakeley. I absolutely loved her entire collection - chic, neutral pieces in cocoon, oversized silhouettes. Personal favourites were the dove grey coat with cocoon fur sleeves - paired with a high neck black top (keep them in your wardrobe for this A/W, they've been all over the catwalk this season!), the belted black vest top with beige skirt - this is gorgeous transitional dressing. And finally, the black sleeveless top paired with the gorgeous full length skirt - I love how feminine this is without having to be in a bright, pastel colour.
I've always loved Victoria Beckham's collections. She really has made the transition from celebrity to designer so successfully. For her Victoria, Victoria Beckham AW16 collection, there was a lot of bright turquoise running through it - and I especially loved the embossed long sleeved dress, and the stunning shearling jacket - how gorgeous is this twist on the usual shearling jackets?! And finally, the high neck printed dress is so lovely, the perfect way to add some colour into a neutral wardrobe.
My final favourite was Xiao Li's collection. The bright pastel colour palette reminded me of Eudon Choi's collection (featured in my Days 1 & 2 overview). I love the texture in the first outfit - the furry cream top is so feminine, and I love how the accessories were kept the same colour, with the loose trousers adding a pop of colour. The wrap coat looks like it's going to be on trend again next A/W, and this bright blue one is a gorgeous colourful take on the trend. Finally, I loved the salmon pink trouser suit, paired with a chic black top - perfect for wearing separately too if you don't want to make too much of a statement!
So that's LFW done for another season! What were your favourite collections? Let me know in the comments!

In his newsletter from 7/13/2010, Glenn Beck took a swipe at Stan Cox in a paragraph entitled, "The case against air conditioning?"
Cox is the author of Losing our Cool.
In a country that's among the world's highest greenhouse-gas emitters, air conditioning is one of the worst power-guzzlers. The energy required to air-condition American homes and retail spaces has doubled since the early 1990s. Turning buildings into refrigerators burns fossil fuels, which emits greenhouse gases, which raises global temperatures, which creates a need for -- you guessed it -- more air-conditioning.
A.C.'s obvious public-health benefits during severe heat waves do not justify its lavish use in everyday life for months on end. Less than half a century ago, America thrived with only the spottiest use of air conditioning. It could again. While central air will always be needed in facilities such as hospitals, archives and cooling centers for those who are vulnerable to heat, what would an otherwise A.C.-free Washington look like?
A martyr is someone who voluntarily suffers and/or dies for a cause or principle. The tens of thousands of people who died during the European heat wave of 2003 were not "martyrs to Mother Nature", and they did not go willingly. They certainly did not die in order to assert their right to live without air-conditioning. And the nations of that region had put no "eco-freaky" anti-air-conditioning policies in place; rather, Western Europe normally enjoys a mildness of climate that is unusual on this often-harsh planet, and, except in extreme situations, most of that region has no need for air-conditioning.
In contrast, we have designed America's society and economy to be dependent on air-conditioning; as a result, it has become an important public-health last resort during severe heat waves such as the one that hit much of the eastern U.S. and Canada last week. But that doesn't constitute a sufficient rationale for the more widespread, lavish, and growing use of mechanical cooling for months each year during normal warm or hot weather. Similarly, a heavily armored Humvee is a good vehicle to have if you're going to drive through a combat zone, but it's not the best choice for everyday transportation.
The 2003 European heat wave was a freak event (freak, that is, on the planet we are accustomed to, but it could be a common occurrence on the planet that Mr. Beck and his science-impervious followers have planned for us.) The consequences were dreadful, but had Europe been as refrigerant-addicted as is this country--had its population's physical and mental heat tolerance been eroded by decades of life in a climate-controlled bubble; had its economy been confining millions of office employees in the depths of sunless, refrigerated office blocks, forcing them to bring sweaters and space heaters to work in July; had entire nations become dependent on fragile technologies rather than on resilient communities to get them through tough times--then the death toll would have climbed even higher as power failures crippled an air-conditioning-dependent infrastructure.
The Declaration of Independence is very specific about what's important: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There is no mention of a right to twelve-month, twenty-four-hour comfort. And America's love of air-conditioning grows out of a desire for comfort, not survival. Addiction to fossil fuels has made us soft, and it is sapping the strength that we'll need to survive in the future.
Cox is the author of Losing Our Cool, Uncomfortable Truths About Our Air Conditioned World and Finding Ways to Get Through the Summer.
For reviews of the book, go to Cox's website where the book can be ordered. For more on the public reaction to his article in the Washington Post, see Cox's blog, ""Flush faced comments from frioconservatives."
Can't we all just set aside our differences to save the Earth from the hell scape projected by Earth scientists if we don't fundamentally transform our economic system into an energy-exporting, post-fossil fuel green economy? Not if Glenn Beck gets his way.

The EU has published a Green Paper and a Proposal in the fields of matrimonial property, and the jurisdictional rules and law applicable to divorce respectively.
The Commission has adopted a new Green Paper to launch a wide-ranging consultation exercise on the difficulties arising in a European context for married and unmarried couples when settling the property consequences of their union and the legal means of solving them. The Green Paper mainly deals with issues concerning the determination of the law applicable to the property consequences of such unions and ways and means of facilitating the recognition and enforcement in Europe of judgments and formal documents relating to matrimonial property rights, and in particular marriage contracts.
In this Green Paper the Commission focuses on questions concerning matrimonial property rights, that is to say the legal rules relating to the spouses' financial relationships resulting from their marriage, both with each other and with third parties, in particular their creditors. We are concerned here, for example, with couples not sharing the same nationality who separate and leave property in a Member State, or couples sharing the same nationality who divorce and have property in another Member State. The Green Paper also considers the question of the property consequences of other forms of unions, such as registered partnerships. In all Member States, more and more couples are formed without a marriage bond. To reflect this new social reality, the Green Paper also addresses the question of the property consequences of the separation of unmarried couples in an international context.
The Commission proposes to introduce harmonised rules on applicable law and to revise the existing jurisdiction rules in divorce matters. The aim is to enhance legal certainty and flexibility for the thousands of couples who are involved in "international" divorce proceedings each year in the European Union. Another aim is to ensure access to court for EU citizens living in third States.

For the Fourth of July, I booked it out to Rockaway Beach for the day with a big group of friends and an even bigger American flag to stage photos with. It was the very first holiday since I left the 24-hour news industry, and I loved being able to celebrate without half a mind on work.
My friend Sara came to visit from Chicago, and somehow our casual lunch turned into a food tour of the East Village. This cookie is from Milk Bar, and we also ate at S’mac. Other NYC suggestions here!
Sorry not sorry that I’ve been here over two years and I still stop to photograph pretty buildings and sunsets.
When my friend Chelsea wanted to spontaneously drop into the speakeasy Please Don’t Tell, I balked – it has a reputation for being impossible to get into. But to my surprise, we didn’t wait long on a Friday evening and enjoyed some delicious cocktails!
One of my favorite summer adventures so far was going to see the New York Philharmonic play in Central Park. They do a summer park series every year and it was great to picnic with friends, watch the sunset, hear the music and even see fireworks after.

Today was the first day of the mini-conferences that lead up to linux.conf.au later on this week. I arrived yesterday after an eventful flight from Perth.
I was originally meant to fly out to Melbourne on the red eye leaving on Friday at 11:35pm, but just before I checked in they announced that the flight had been delayed until 4:00am the following day. As I hadn’t had a chance to check in, I was able to get a pair of taxi vouchers to get home and back. I only got about 2 hours of sleep though, as they said they would turn off the baggage processing system at 3am. When I got back to the airport, I could see all the people who had stayed at the terminal spread out with airplane blankets. A little before the 4:00am deadline, another announcement was made saying the plane would now be leaving at 5:00am. Apparently they had needed to fly a replacement component in from over east to fix a problem found during maintenance. Still, it seems it wasn’t the most delayed Qantas flight for that weekend and it did arrive in one piece.
As I had planned to spend a day in Melbourne visiting relatives, it didn’t cause any problems with the flight on to Hobart. I had been invited to the “Ghosts” dinner, which was to start about an hour after my flight landed, so it was a bit of a rush to get to the university accommodation and then walk down the hill to the restaurant.
The dinner was pretty good, with organisers from all the previous LCA conferences plus the people organising the 2010 conference. Unfortunately, I was the only one from the 2003 organisers able to attend. It sounds like the 2010 organisers have things in hand, and the location should be great.

text: FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It was only for 1 1/2 seasons, but few have managed the left field wall at Fenway Park as well as Jonny Gomes. It wasn't by accident, and it wasn't just because he was afforded a head start with the left field wall at JetBlue Park. "Well, I wouldn'ÂÂt call myself an ambassador by any means," said Gomes, now an outfielder for the Braves. "I think I played that wall pretty well. But I think the cat is out of the bag that that wall is way different. From the padding to the net, the dimensions, feet-wise, are the same. I wouldn'ÂÂt be in any hurry to master JetBlue'ÂÂs wall for Fenway'ÂÂs wall, but I guess it'ÂÂs a good starting point." So, what would be his recommendation to the Red Sox' new left fielder, Hanley Ramirez? "I wouldn'ÂÂt say experience as much as being extremely open and having the work ethic to learn it," Gomes said. "That wall hasn'ÂÂt moved in 100-plus years and balls are bouncing off that wall pretty similarly to the way they did 100 years ago. At the same time, it'ÂÂs so foreign from anywhere else. It'ÂÂs not like grabbing a wall and throwing a ball off it. There'ÂÂs a lot to be learned off that wall." Gomes, who was hitting third for the Braves' visit to JetBlue Tuesday, was not only good at playing the Fenway wall, but in some ways he was an innovator. Through working on the wall throughout his first spring training, Gomes incorporated a strategy never seen before from Red Sox left fielders -- catching balls directly off the wall instead of letting them bounce. The thinking behind the ploy was that little harm can be done if the ball is missed and gets away in front of the fielder. It would usually be a double, anyway. It's one of the many aspects of playing left field that outfield/first base coach Arnie Beyeler has been working with Ramirez on throughout the exhibition season. (Although the new left fielder hasn't truly been tested too many times thus far.) "He was very creative out there, catching the ball off the wall," Beyeler said of Gomes. "He started working on that, practicing that. That's something that if you don't play enough games out there you'll waste your time trying to do it and you create more problems. He sure opened an awareness of how you can control the game a little better." Now, it's Gomes' legacy that Beyeler is currently trying to pass on to Ramirez. (Note: Ramirez made a nice running catch in the fourth inning of Tuesday's game, cutting in front of center fielder Mookie Betts.) "The biggest thing that stands out to me is catching a ball off the wall, but you have to work on it," the coach said. "You can't go out there and do it, and then you still have to know speed of the runners, situations and if you get caught in between on a ball you change your risk/return on when you do something like that. He was really smart about that and had all kind of game awareness from that standpoint. "It's going to take time. It may take two or three years of getting to know all that stuff out there because you just don't get a lot of those balls out there to you. That's why we hit all those crazy balls out there to him, so it doesn't seem all that different and you can let your ability take over and react instead of thinking about it."

Hello friends! So I have been told before when people hear “system” they are really thinking of a tool to execute that system like 17hats, dubsado, asana, trello, honeybook, etc. In reality, those are just tools to execute the system you set. I utilize Asana, and a system for invoicing/lead tracking/contracts specifically for those in the wedding industry called Aisle Planner for my wedding planning business. Those are the tools I use, but they are not my systems.
My systems are the processes I have outlined in my business operations manual. They are the steps I have outlined for scheduling meetings, client onboarding, client project process,policies, how to deal with various situations–I think you get the idea. I started out those thoughts with pen and paper. I am a writer, I always have been. For me it is the best way I learn & retain information. I often say if it isn’t written in my planner, I am not remembering to do it.
Your brain actually learns differently when you write vs. when you type. In college, the best study advice my dad gave me was to go back to my room/library/coffee shop/sorority house after class and re-write my notes with my textbook open to fill in the blanks. At first, I felt like it seemed like a lot of extra work but what I found was I was retaining the information so much better and doing so much better on tests(see your parents do know stuff!). I am the same way when it comes to work. After meetings, I review and often re-write my notes to decode my short hand. When I do this I always remember more.
I still use a paper planner. It is my life line. If it isn’t in there, I am not going to get it done or remember. This is just who I am. BUT I still utilize my online tools everyday. When tracking project progress as well as working with a team, you need a tool that allows collaboration, and easy communication that isn’t clogging up your inbox. I will plan my week with my paper calendar, then update my online calendar, and review to dos with my Asana. It seems like extra steps, but again for me this is the best way I learn and retain.
Whenever I am mapping out a new project or service, I grab a piece of poster board, post its and a sharpie! That is how ashleystork.co started–on a piece of poster board. Sometimes I just have too many thoughts in my head and I have to get them out before my brain explodes! Do you still use pen and paper?? What are some of your favorite tools to utilize–tech or paper?

The following species were once present in Warwickshire but are now extinct here. The dates shown are of the last known record for the species in the region excluding re-introduction attempts. View the 'Warwickshire's Extinct Species Timeline' here.
Attempts both official and un-official have been made to re-introduce some species in Warwickshire. Un-official attempts are not backed by long-term commitments by landowners or local conservation bodies (including Butterfly Conservation Warwickshire) and these re-introductions inevitably fail. Good planning and support from a range of agencies is vital to maintain the appropriate habitat and enable re-introduced species to build viable, self-sustaining populations.

Bartering alcohol has come up a few times in this thread. Why do you feel alcohol would be a valuable/powerful bartering currency? How would you barter it (what sized amounts)? Are some types better than others?
I use vodka to make tinctures so that would be of interest to me personally.
In bad times, drinking usu goes up. And alcohol has multi purpose as you stated.
I go with grain 190pf... you can delute it 2x and still have strong alcohol, and it mixes with anything. Prob run a small engine on it !
The interesting part of bartering is trying to accurately judge 'what' is worth 'what'. And of course it will all depend upon your needs at the time. What's worth a bag of rice? A box of ammo? A fresh set of batteries? Someone able to treat your injury or illness?
The market will adjust itself.'08.

Take that with a grain of salt. Those of us who have been in combat areas were usually well paid. In Afghanistan, the Hagi mart would have the DVD's, tobacco, electronics, antique weapons, precious stones and old coins. Most items were for entertainment or souvenir value or just outright junk. I picked up an Enfield that was in pretty good condition for a buddy of mine who is a war weapon collector. I bought a few thousand dollars worth of precious stones and had them made into jewelery when I got home. I had friends that were buying gold and silver while on R&R in the middle east because it was at spot pricing and they were looking at the investment values. Then there were those who never bought anything and banked everything they made.
(07-11-2015, 07:16 PM)Bob Wrote: In any immediate situation, I think barter goods rule.
Been thinking about diversifying into silver lately. I'd have to learn the proper way to purchase silver and/or other precious metals i.e. not get taken.
I do agree that there are many things more valuable than silver and gold in SHTF situations, but I also believe they do have there place. My opinion is if your going to invest in any gold to get very small coins like 1/4 ounce or less as gold is very valuable and 1 ounce coins are worth too much for a barter scenario. Silver is the preppers choice, you can get coins in circulation that have some silver content, your best bet are Kennedy half dollars. Here is the official break down of partial silver coins struck and they amount of silver in each.
Morgan Silver Dollars, yrs. 1878-1904 & 1921 .77344 ounces of silver per coin.
Peace Silver Dollar, yrs. 1921-1935 .77344 ounces of silver per coin.
Franklin Silver Half Dollar, yrs. 1948-1963 .36169 ounces of silver per coin.
Kennedy Silver Half Dollar, yrs. 1964 .36169 ounces of silver per coin.
Washington Silver Quarter, yrs. 1932-1964 .18084 ounces of silver per coin.
Mercury Silver Dime, yrs. 1916-1945 .07234 ounces of silver per coin.
Roosevelt Silver Dime, yrs. 1946-1964 .07234 ounces of silver per coin.
Jefferson Silver Nickel, yrs. 1942-1945 .05626 ounces of silver per coin.
Current Silver spot prices are about $15.00 per ounce, so buying pure silver coins like the American Silver Eagles is affordable at this time. No matter what type of Silver coins or bullion you have is better than none. Someone mentioned like 10% of your total assets in precious metals that is a nice place to start, then work your way up a little at a time.

Place the sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and cook to 110 degrees F. Simultaneously, bloom the gelatin in the 1/4 cup water.
Place the bloomed gelatin in the top of a double boiler and melt. Place the 1/4-cup plus 1 tablespoon corn syrup in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour the cooked sugar and the melted gelatin into the bowl of corn syrup. Whisk until fluffy. Add the drops of flavored oil. Spray the inside of the egg molds with vegetable cooking spray. Dust with cornstarch. Spoon the fluffy mixture into the egg molds. Let sit overnight. Unmold and decorate.
To decorate the eggs, make a cornet and fill with chocolate. Use the cornet to draw decorations onto the marshmallow eggs.
Cut an 8 by 12 by 14 1/2-inch triangle from a sheet of parchment paper. Hold the middle of the long side of the triangle between two fingers of one hand. Take the tip of the triangle on the short, wide end and roll it toward the other tip of that same end while simultaneously pulling it in an upward motion. The tip of a cone will form where your thumb and finger hold it on the long side.
Release your grip from the long side, so that you are now holding the two corners where they meet. The paper will already resemble a partially formed cone. Roll the remaining tail until it is completely rolled into a cone. There will be one point sticking up from the open end. Fold it inside toward the center, and crease the fold. Now you should have a cornet. To close the cornet once it has been filled, fold it away from the seam; this will keep the seam from opening. Use a pair of scissors or a sharp paring knife to cut an opening at the tip of the cornet to the desired size.

To be honest with you, when I first heard the word catechism, images of a stanched nun with a ruler and red eyes flashed across my mind. The first question that came to mind when hearing this mysterious word was “Cate-WHAT?! You’re going to do what with my kids?!” But over the years, my understanding of catechism, its function, goal, and fruit, have given me hope as a parent. It has given me a road map on how to maneuver through family devotions.
A: What is a Catechism?
The word Catechism comes from the Greek word catechesis. Catechism is a summary of the principles/truth presented in the form of questions and answers. In our context, a catechism is a series of truths derived from the Bible to provide direction to vital theological truths presented in the Bible. Instead of replacing or supplanting the role of the Bible in Christian education, a catechism ideally serves as the basis for it.
It reinforces theological truth presented to us in the Bible.
It protects against error, false prophets and heresy (false teaching dealing with the nature of God’s being, how one is saved and the person of Christ).
It helps to mitigate some of the problems associated with the private interpretation of scripture.
Recently, my children and I heard a televangelist say he served the Father because he was greater than the Son. He also stated that most people served the Son and the Holy Spirit while he served the “BIG GUY.” This is an ontological heresy. How are we going to refute that if we do not know what the scriptures teach regarding the trinity?
Historical creeds and confessions do not replace the Bible, they protect the soundness of biblical interpretation. American evangelicals have moved away from the practice of using a catechism for subjective and experiential modes of meaning. It is no accident that biblical illiteracy has risen by abysmal levels, and that false doctrines have rushed in like a flood. Why is this? Important safeguards (Creeds and Confessions) which relay basic doctrinal truths have been removed. When Satan blinds minds from seeing the truth, we are most helpless against him when the truth is not known.
David said in Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” A catechism points us to the only clear path to salvation. It points us to the only rule of faith and practice, the Word of God. A catechism says to us this is what the Word has taught concerning the nature of God, the nature of scripture, the nature of the person and work of Christ.
The goal of a catechism is to help you love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul. Its goal is to help you engage the truths of the Word, know them, and worship the one true God. Its goal is to help you remember important scriptures surrounding the Trinity, God, Jesus Christ, and salvation by grace through faith.
What is our only hope in life and death? That we are not our own but belong to God.
What is God? God is the creator of everyone and everything.
How many persons are there in God? There are three persons in one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
How and why did God create us? God created us male and female in his own image to glorify him.
What else did God create? God created all things and all his creation was very good.
We are praying that the parents of Redemption Hill Church at The Fourhundred would partner with us as we seek to impart these truths to the hearts of our children. Please feel free to pick up a copy of the New City Catechism for your family, and the accompanying devotional, downstairs in the parlor of The Fourhundred.

A flashlight is used for many purposes; it is a very useful tool as it helps us in various ways. They are available in almost all homes, offices and factories. People use it during blackouts, emergencies, for safety and security, and even while playing some games; basically any time you need to see in a dark space, you’ll grab your handy flashlight.
The Maglite XL50 and Maglite XL100 are two powerful flashlights manufactured by Mag Instrument Inc., under the brand of Maglite. This company first introduced their flashlight to the market in 1979. Earlier, people didn’t really regard flashlights as a reliable item as they used to last for just a short span of time, and the average use time didn’t justify the cost of the batteries. After few days of usage, people dumped it because those days, flashlights were of very inferior quality and didn’t usually last very long. After several spending years on research to provide better flashlights to the public, Mag Instruments Inc. started perfecting the design of the flashlight by applying unique technology.
The Maglite XL50 LED flashlight is a very user friendly flashlight; it performs really well as compared to many other flashlights that are available in the market today. This heavy-duty quality flashlight has a deceptively sleek and compact design, so it can easily fit into your pockets. The Maglite XL50 also has a convenient holster, in case you want to put it away safely without the worry of damaging the flashlight.
The Maglite XL50 has an LED beam that can be adjusted from spot to flood mode, meaning the beam can be manually changed ranging from a pinpoint sharp beam of light to a widely dispersed, softer beam. These flashlights are made using the MAG-LED technology, which is very advanced, so you can be assured of having nothing excellent, durable quality in not only the shaft of your flashlight, but the bulb itself as well. One interesting feature is that it has Intelligent Energy Source Management (IESM,) which means that this flashlight monitors the brightness and power usage of the device continuously; it monitors the balance between them to make sure that the balance is optimum. They are: (i) High Power, (ii) energy savings to up to 25% power and, (iii) Emergency Safety Strobe.
Maglite XL50 vs. Maglite XL100 – Which Flashlight is Better?
Lumens - XL50 puts out 104 lumens as opposed to the 83 of the XL100.
Settings – The Maglite XL50 has 3 light settings: high power, 25% power and strobe, whereas the XL100 offers 7: normal, strobe, nightlight, signal, 25% power, lockout and variable power.
Maximum Distance – The max effective distance the beam of the XL50 is approximately 145 meters as compared to the 134 meters of the XL100.
Batteries - Both the flashlights use 3 AAA batteries.
Running Time – When used at its highest setting, the XL50 has a battery life of about 8 hours and 45 minutes; at low power it can last as long as 35 hours. The XL100, on the other hand, when used at its highest setting has a battery life of about 5 hours and 15 minutes; at its lower setting that number climbs to 20 hours.
While the Maglite XL50 seems to offer a simpler, more efficient light source, in no way is that to be interpreted as the Maglite XL100 is an inferior flashlight. Both Maglite models are high quality, high efficiency flashlights that offer their users the means to light up the dark, no matter the circumstances. In truth, the difference between the two lights merely means that it is up to the needs of the consumer to choose the model Maglite that best suits their needs. For instance, in addition to the multiple settings the XL100 offers, it also has an accelerometer. The Maglite XL100 LED flashlight is optimal for those looking for a little more out of their flashlight than just a steady beam, whatever those needs may be.
So it really is dependent upon the needs of the consumer which Maglite model is right for them; both the XL50 and the XL100 have the same sturdy, high-quality, dent and scratch resistance shafts and superior LED bulbs that make them the leaders in the flashlight industry. You just really can’t go the wrong way when choosing between the Maglite XL50 and the Maglite XL100.

Children throughout the Archdiocese hit the books again this week as schools began the fall term. Students in Catholic high schools, grade schools or parish religious education programs (PREP/CCD) need to remember the Catholic identity of their education, and themselves.
If these Catholic teenagers are to take their place in the Church and society as maturing Christian disciples, they must live what they are learning by regularly practicing their faith through participation at Mass and by living upright lives. They’ll find that means sometimes going against the grain of popular culture, which includes indifference to regular church attendance. For this young people need the support of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Teens like to go places, and they like to drive. To put these desires to work, parents can encourage their teens who drive to get behind the wheel and take the family to church, and to pick up a Catholic friend along the way.
Children attending a traditional Catholic neighborhood parish school, regional Catholic school or PREP also must live their Catholic faith beyond the classroom. Since most children can’t make it to church for Mass themselves, it’s up to adults to take them.
Pastors know that, sadly, some parents only take their family to Church rarely, if ever. Parents who do attend Mass with their children can encourage their little one to invite a friend in their school or PREP class to come along with their family (after getting a parent’s permission), to attend Sunday Mass together.
Children like to be together. Helping them link what they are learning Monday to Friday with what they ought to do on Sunday will strengthen the Catholic identity that is theirs through baptism and confirmation. The sacrifices parents make for their children’s education are just as important as the commitment of time each Sunday for Mass together.

Eccho Rights will bring Cennet, Sürec Film’s newest Turkish drama series, to Mipcom this October.
The series is a format adaptation based on Tears Of Heaven from CJ E&M, one of a number of scripts that Eccho Rights represent from Korea’s largest production house.
The Turkish version (Cennet'in Gözyaşları) is airing this season on ATV, starring Alma Ada and Berk Atan in the leading roles. Cennet (Ada) is an ambitious young woman from a tough background. When the woman she longs to work for turns out to be the mother that abandoned her as a baby, her motivation switches, having always sought the maternal love she has missed since birth. Yet her appearance rings alarm bells for her mother who suspects foul play, and tries everything to get rid of Cennet from her life once more.
“Eccho Rights have a strong track record and have succeeded in taking our series to new territories before, making Cherry Season the first Turkish Drama to air on free TV in Italy for example. We look forward to seeing where this series will go!” says Ali Gündoğdu, CEO of Sürec Film.
In the past year Sürec Film’s series Bitter Sweet Life and New Bride have both scored consistently strong ratings in Turkey, the latter returning this month for a second season on Show TV.

Don’t get too excited as the changes don’t start until 1 July 2022. We could see three more Prime Ministers by that stage. They are moving the $41,000 tax bracket to $45,000 before transitioning into the 32.5% tax rate.
The increased asset write off will be increased to $30,000 on assets purchased from 3 April 2019 until 30 June 2020. This will apply to all businesses with an aggregated turnover under $50 million. The Treasurer’s incentive for small and medium business to keep the wheels turning.
From July 2020, the contribution age limits will be extended to allow taxpayers aged 65 and 66 to be able to make both concessional and non-concessional contributions without passing the work test. Work test is satisfying 40 hours of work in 30 consecutive days.
The bring-forward rule of three years of non-concessional contributions ($300,000) will also be extended by two years from the same start date.
Please note that these are just budget announcements, so remember to call our office if you are looking at implementing any of the above items. Given that we have an imminent election, it will be interesting to see whether these announcements actually become law. Stay tuned and we will keep you informed of their progress.

Experience a beautiful walk from Hasle to Skovly - the walk is about 5 km and takes around 1 hour.
This nice walk starts at the Hasle Smokehouses (Hasle Silderøgerier), which house an exhibition entitled “Maritime Hasle”.
Further south along the coast you will find yourself in beautiful countryside that bears witness to industrial development in Bornholm over the last 200 years. There are traces of glassworks, coal mines and the Hasle Klinker- og Chamottestensfabrik (floor tile and fire brick factory), once the largest industries on the island.
Clay pits and large industrial buildings now tell of an age gone by. The cosy Skovly restaurant awaits you at the end of the walk.

It all started with the purchase of a small coop to rehab an injured homing pidgeon, which was successfully done, only he didn't go back to his family in Miami, he found a new mate and has started a new clan up here.
Then, They needed a little more playspace. so I decided on a 6 x 12 chain link panel run, with the hutch inside it that was a disaster after the first heavy rain with just hardware cloth and a tarp on top. I came home to both sides caved in on each other with the tarp filled with water supported by the coop on one end. I ran out there like the maniac from Psycho plunging a steak knife thru the chain link into the tarp repeatedly to try and get the water to drain. That problem was solved with a a chain link panel roof, PVC graduated supports lengthwise,.....and then the tarp, and has worked out well. We sometimes can get an inch or two of rain in an hour here in South Florida, but the girl from New England just didn't think that far ahead...Yikes. I had decided to predator proof the run as the girls were getting to big to shut up in the hutch, so the hardware cloth, skirt, chicken wire above were all in place now. The hardest part was keeping our the dang squirrels! They'd get in there and start boxing with the girls over the food, until the girls started cowering in the corner, and that did not make me happy to say the least. I figured once the eggs arrived, they would be after those too. At this point they were too fat to fit thru the chicken wire, so they get fed outside if the BEHAVE! If not, there will be a shoot out at the Kitty corral with beer and barbeque for those who attend with rifle!
At this point, the girls have been roosting on the narrow edge of the open coop, so ihave experimented with all sorts of different style roost boards. If they didn't like it, they'd roost on the side board, because I had been secretly been working on a surprise for the girls in the front yard!!!
Thanks for stopping by..come and visit the Dream Girls New Coop Page if you have time!

Thomson Hay Landscape Architects were engaged by Equisent Residential Aged Care, Ballarat, to design landscape areas around the existing and new aged care accommodation facility. Key requirements of the design were that the landscape areas were safe and conveyed a sense of comfort and homeliness.
The final design is simple and robust with a balance between hard and soft landscape areas. Ramps, paths and landings provided compliant access and encouraged people to go outdoors. The landscape design of the courtyards includes split level paving, seating, ramps, garden planting and small trees to maximise privacy and concurrent use by a number of groups. Trees and low hedges soften the built forms and plant species include familiar garden plants to create a feeling of home.

Four Things Gen Z'ers Don't Want from the Workplace CAREER CORNER With roughly 61 million members of "Generation Z" poised to enter the U.S. workforce, it's important for employers to understand that this demographic group isn't simply a younger cohort of millennials. They watched as their older counterparts experienced the financial struggles of the recession; they use technology for both entertainment and education; and many of them would rather run a business from their smartphone than work in a typical office setting. Here are a few things Gen Z seeks to avoid as they bring new expectations to the workplace: 1. Traditional Training Lectures, handbooks, and large group-training sessions aren't the best methods to get Generation Z up to speed on workplace policies. Instead, many Gen Z'ers prefer to learn with the aid of digital resources. Online courses or small group activities seem to be more effective tools for teaching them the skills and demands of a given position. 2. Strict Hours While Generation Z is willing to work hard, they don't necessarily want to do it from an office. Like millennials, they're interested in flexibility in terms of both location and scheduling, and they're open to working longer hours if they can do it on their own terms. The trend toward remote work shouldn't be seen as a millennial trend—it represents a permanent shift in the way employees work. Gen Z expects to be given the option to work from home, and since they've grown up with smart- phones, they're more than comfortable communicating digitally. 3. Open Offices Millennials experimented with open office plans, but recent research shows this setup isn't necessarily an effective way to boost productivity or com- munication. This trend may be on its way out, but Gen Z isn't interested in going back to isolated cubicles: Instead, they want to work in offices with both individual work- spaces and areas where groups can work collaboratively. 4. Distant Relationships with Management According to recent studies, Gen Z wants consistent, constructive check-ins from their managers on a weekly and sometimes even daily basis. They're not just seeking praise—they want to be made aware of their strengths and shortcomings. Members of Gen Z also often want their bosses to serve as their mentors and seek to develop strong relationships with their supervi- sors, as well.

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the earthquake in New Zealand have many people thinking about disaster preparedness – and that includes our pets.
The Humane Society of the United States offers some great information about what to do to be sure you are able to take care of your pets during a disaster.
The federal government now supports including pets in disaster plans. In 2000 The HSUS and FEMA signed a partnership agreement to encourage and assist people who want to safeguard their pets in a natural disaster.
Every member of your family should know what he or she needs to take when you evacuate. You also need to prepare supplies for your pet. Stock up on non-perishables well ahead of time, and have everything ready to go in the event of a disaster at a moment’s notice. Keep everything accessible, stored in sturdy containers (duffel bags, covered trash containers, etc.) that can be carried easily.
