It’s a been a trifle chilly here the last couple of days. We even have to turn the heat back on at night, but the promise of warm days to come is everywhere nonetheless.
Take for example the forsythia I showed you last week. They are starting to bloom and will be in full flower within the week.
I also noticed, when sitting out in the yard yesterday listening to an audiobook and knitting a swatch, (more on that in a moment) that one of the peach trees has the blossoms opening.
and the mountain laurel is budding.
But, to a knitter, the most waited for sign of the season is the Spring issue of Knitty. Have you seen it yet? I was inspired by many of the offerings this time, but the one that spoke the loudest to me was Gemini.
Immediately I began looking through my virtual stash and didn’t come up with anything that fit the bill that I had in enough yardage to make it. Unbelievable as that is, I was forced..forced I tell you…to make a trip to the yarn shop.
I looked over what they had in cotton and linen blends and none of them seemed quite right to me, so I decided on this Cestari dk weight cotton and wool blend.
Now I mentioned swatching above and it’s something you won’t see very often, but it is called for at times. If I am working with an unfamiliar yarn and the gauge is critical like it is with a sweater, I will do it. Mind that doesn’t really mean the nasty little buggers don’t lie to me, which they do, but for some reason I do it anyway.
So, I need to get 22 stitches in 4” and a size 6 needle is usually right for me, in wool yarn anyway. I started first with that size and as you can see in the swatch I made a purl ridge to show where I went down to a 5 and tried that as well since to my eye the stitches on the 6 looked more like 5 stitches to the inch rather than 5.5.
After dutifully knitting a 5 inch square I measured the gauge both unblocked and after a soaking and blocking and I was right. I was getting 5 stitches to the inch. Oddly the gauge was not noticeably smaller with the size 5 needles either though. Cottons do this to me. If this was wool only I would have gotten gauge on this size yarn.
Now the dilemma is whether to knit at the 5 stitches per inch and go down a size in the directions to get about the desired size, or try another yarn. I do prefer the dk gauge of 5.5 stitches to the inch. I was eyeing the Cascade Pima cotton and the Tahki Cotton Classic as alternatives, so maybe I should just do that?
I have a little time to decide since I am going to hold off casting on for the sweater until my Gust is done. I only have 10 repeats to go on that, which shouldn’t take much longer.

April 1865 is about the end of the Civil War. It describes the history that lead to the particular events that occurred, starting with the constitution and continuing through the final surrender. At every step, the lecturer discusses what it means to the nation, as a whole.
Jay Winik, the author and lecturer, is a professor of history and has served in national security. His work has involved him in numerous civil wars around the globe.
I wasn’t sure what to make of this, I picked it up at Barnes and Noble during one of their 75%-off sales. My first impression wasn’t strong, the lecturer was almost monotonic and the content seemed weak. But that impression was quickly replaced when he provided, not just the historical facts, but full background and motivations; then he made it all sound interesting!
Jay Winik builds the story mostly chronologically, discussing each of a large number of major characters. For each, he provides a background, discusses strengths and weaknesses, and his position in the power and political pictures of the period. He made the people come to life, they were no longer names in a book, but real people. He brought the struggles, defined the relationships between the different people, and build their personalities.
There is so much information that we never learned, I strongly recommend this lecture series for anyone interested in history. For any US Civil War buffs, it is a must.
Little Bee is the story of a Nigerian girl who is fleeing for her life. She arrives in England, and after spending two years in a refugee camp, manages an escape and begins an experience in a foreign country, where her life intertwines with another woman she had met years ago.
The author does a great job of presenting Little Bee as an alien and her adventures in England as an alien. He gets into her mind and provides an unusual perspective of the young girl. As the story progresses, the past unfolds and we attain an understanding of what has happened and what will come.
The story is very well told and is powerful. It is also somewhat depressing. The minor characters can get depressing and the major characters have many unresolved issues.
I can’t say I enjoyed the book, but it is probably one of those that is good for me. I did find it interesting and makes for good conversation with others who have read it.
This is the twelfth book in the Amelia Peabody series. In this book, they return to Egypt for another excavation, but little of the book sees any archaeology work. World War I is raging, and events engulf our heros in intrigue and mystery. The Master Criminal is back, and has placed himself in the center of affairs.
As it goes with the series, this book is more about the characters than the events. The main characters continue in their unusual styles to entertain us. Ramses and Nefret are maturing in more ways than one, and insert themselves into the intrigue that surrounds them. As events play out, we learn new and unexpected events and histories of several characters, including the past of The Master Criminal.
This book was better than several of the preceeding ones and is worth the read. This book would stand on its own, except that the reader would lack a good understanding of the characters which provides most of the value of the book.

Based on OVERCOMING: The Autobiography of W. Harry Davis, this book for young readers (age 10 and older) is the story of civil rights in Minnesota. Telling his story in his own words, Davis describes the hardships of his growing-up years, the youth boxing program that brought him to local prominence, and his role in breaking down racial barriers in politics and in the city’s public schools.
Harry Davis probably received more awards for civic service in his lifetime than any other Minnesotan. In 2003 the Minneapolis School system named an elementary school in Davis’s old neighborhood for him: the W. Harry Davis Academy.

What ingredients are in your nail polishes?
Polishes may contain: Hydrated Chromium Oxide Green, Chromium Oxide Green, Manganese Violet, Iron Oxide, Tin Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Red 6, Red 7, Red 33, Red 40, Ultramarines, Ferric Ferrocyanide, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Yellow 10, Kaolin, Magnesium Myristate, Magnesium Fluoride-Coated Aluminum, Mica, solvent resistant glitters.
What are mani bombs? How do I use them?
Mani bombs are a small version of bath bombs but infused with extra oils and butters to sink into your cuticles and soften your hands. Our mani bombs are made with a mix of skin loving oils and butters that leave hands feeling silky and moisturized.
Drop one mani bomb into a bowl of water heated to your preference and soak your hands or feet for about 10 minutes. If using for pedicures or in a bath, please take care when getting out as the oils and butters could make the bottom of your foot soaker or tub slippery.
Pat hands dry when done. Massage any remaining butters or oils into the skin for best results. Recommended use once a week or every other week.
What ingredients are in your mani bombs and bath bombs?
Additional Info: Do NOT eat. For external use only. Keep out of reach from children and pets. Please supervise children while being used. Read through the ingredient list to ensure you are not allergic to any ingredients. Discontinue use if reaction occurs. Color may vary slightly from batch to batch, this speaks to the hand mixed nature of the product. Mani bomb colors may change with time due to the dyes and pigments used to decorate them but they are still beneficial to your hands and nails and can be used as normal. Broken mani bombs are perfectly fine to use and will work the same as solid mani bombs so pour all the crumbles and pieces into the water!
Lemming Lacquer polishes are cruelty-free and 5-free. Our polish does not include camphor, toluene, formaldehyde, phthalate (DBP), and formaldehyde resin. This polish is made with highly saturated pigments and ingredients. Our testers and swatchers usually do not report any staining but we still recommend a good base coat before application to guard against this. Swatches chosen to represent the colors are close as possible however actual color may appear differently depending on individual monitor resolutions and color settings. Blogger swatches may show colors differently due to camera settings, lighting, skin tone etc. as well.
Materials may settle so a good roll or sitting the bottle upside down is recommended before application.
Due to mixing in small batches, each batch may have a slight variation that speaks to the handmade nature of the product. If the nail polish is a little thick for your preferences, please add a quality thinner. Do NOT use acetone to thin your polishes. Doing so will ultimately ruin your nail polish and thousands of lemmings everywhere will cry so please don't! Bottles are poured by weight and may show a slight fill line. This also allows the polish to expand during extreme temperatures and to avoid exploding bottles.
Bottles are assembled and all products are made in Rock Island, IL 61201. Do not use near open flame. Not for internal consumption. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs. Please polish responsibly. All nail polishes are full sized .5oz/15ml.

Charlie's first auto accident happened when he was 85 or so. He was driving in Bigtown, had stopped for a traffic light and proceeded when the light changed. His car was struck by a pregnant young woman who ran the red light while talking on her cell phone. Being a gentleman, and unaware of the protocol controlling accident investigation, he moved his car and his bumper, torn off by the other auto, so that other traffic could proceed.
When the police arrived and examined the scene, Charlie was, falsely, found to be at fault and was ticketed. When I heard of the accident, I suggested he pay the fine and forget the whole thing. He declared he was not at fault and was going to fight the ticket in court. His greatest fear was what might happen to his car insurance rates. In the months before the trial we discussed this several times. Because I had never seen anyone successfully fight a ticket, I repeatedly advised him to pay the fine. He repeatedly refused and was determined to argue his innocence. I saw a disaster in the making. I saw a big lawsuit for damages to the unborn child and the mother, based on the courts finding of fault. Charlie saw complete exoneration.
He consulted a number of people about court proceedings and discovered what needed to be done. He asked me to go with him for his trial. On the appointed day, we both dressed in our best business suits and went to face the music. The court dress code was obviously casual. The judge was in shirtsleeves and the prosecutor wore jeans, as did everyone but ourselves.
As each case was called and judged, it became clear this was a "hanging" judge. There was no mercy or leniency shown to any defendant. I was getting really nervous. Then the bailiff called Charlie's case. We both stood as the charges were read... then the prosecutor interrupted the bailiff and told the judge the charges had been dropped. No reason was given.
With this opening Charlie was left to find his own explanation, always given when the story is retold: When the court saw the defendant and his high-powered lawyer, they quickly decided not to tangle with the pair.

LOSING your job is the pits. One minute you're moaning about your boss or the quality of the canteen, the next you're history.
Since Ireland's economy hit the skids five years ago, we've been inundated with horror stories of redundancy and job loss – our unemployment rate has shot up to 14pc, with 294,000 people now officially unemployed and a total of 426,100 signing on the Live Register to access benefits of different kinds.
It's a cold, hard world out there for the jobless – and the effects can be devastating.
The mortality rate for unemployed people is two and a half times higher, and they face a higher risk of suicide, cardiovascular disease, injuries and accidents than people who have not suffered unemployment according to one 23-year-long Swedish study.
"Unemployment kills people," warns Professor Robert L Leahy, a psychologist and specialist in cognitive behavioural therapy.
Leahy's just written a book on the subject; 'Keeping Your Head After Losing Your Job'. It's a self-help book – but not one that shows you how to land another job. Instead it provides a range of psychological tools to cope with career armageddon.
And, it seems, most of us could do with some guidelines for when the worst happens.
"There is an increase in depression, insomnia, anxiety, worry, suicide risk, low self-esteem, malnutrition, alcohol intake, smoking and poor physical health," warns the director of the American Institute of Cognitive Therapy.
Leahy, whose ancestors came from Co Cork, says that even the prospect of becoming unemployed can deeply upset people: "One study found that even thinking about being unemployed can increase your cholesterol levels."
It's a well grounded fear because, he says: "There are a lot of psychological and physical consequences of being unemployed."
He believes, however, that simple cognitive behavioural therapies can help you change the way you think, and lead to a different outcome.
Often the first reaction of those who have become unemployed is to feel humiliated, says Leahy.
"They will isolate themselves. Because they isolate themselves they become more depressed and more self-critical and are more likely to ruminate on the negative. Often they feel like a victim."
By all means, he says, validate your feelings of anxiety, anger and depression – but consider whether you really want to stay stuck in the rut of feeling like a victim: "Ask yourself how long you are to stay there, because it won't help you get another job," he says.
"We can focus on positive goals or we can focus on the enemy but you'll feel better with the former."
Instead of saying 'I'm a loser because I lost my job', he says, look at the huge numbers of people who are unemployed.
Do you think your friend/uncle/ sister is a loser because they're unemployed?
The worry brought on by job loss – because we tend to see work as central to our identity – can be a torment.
Worry involves negative thoughts about the future – and it can become so bad that it can prevent you sleeping or focusing.
When you find yourself worrying, ask if you could be doing anything more productive.
Most people will get jobs eventually – but sitting around worrying about your chances is not going to help you find employment.
Instead gear up – finding a job has a lot to do with persistence: "The more time you spend trying to get a job, the higher your chances of getting one," he says.
Stop fulminating about your future – instead make the crucial distinction between productive and unproductive worry and, rather than viewing unemployment as a permanent badge of dishonour see it as time between jobs.
Look at it as a chance to spend more time with your family and help out with chores.
Give the household accounts a thorough going-over, and re-evaluate your material needs.
"There are a lot of things you've been buying that you don't really need," he says.
Try volunteer work – this is a major source of self-esteem and allows you to get outside your own head, he believes.
See your friends, go for a walk, get in touch with former colleagues and above all, aim to make your day productive.
'I have one patient who was out of work. He was an architect and began to volunteer for a group called Habitat for Humanity, which helps develop housing for poor people. He met people who really liked him – and ended up getting work!"
Losing your job presents us with a distinct choice, Leahy explains.
"You can approach unemployment as being a victim – or you can be positive and have a plan."
And that's where the cognitive behaviour therapy side of things kicks in he says – you have to start by actively changing your thoughts.

Decreased expression and altered methylation of syncytin-1 gene in human placentas associated with preeclampsia.
Zhuang XW, Li J, Brost BC, Xia XY, Chen HB, Wang CX, Jiang SW1.
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Mercer University School of Medicine, 4700 Waters Avenue, Savannah, GA 31404, USA. jiang_s@mercer.edu.
Syncytin-1 is a protein coded by a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) gene of the HERV-W family (HERVWE1). Syncytin- 1 mediates formation of syncytiotrophoblasts through fusion of cytotrophoblasts, a hallmark of terminal differentiation of placental trophoblast linage. Syncytin-1 also possesses nonfusogenic functions and regulates cell cycle progression. While decreased syncytin-1 expression and syncytium deficiency are considered important pathological changes in preeclampsia, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying syncytin-1 downregulation remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed that expression levels of syncytin-1 mRNA and protein were significantly lower in preeclamptic placentas compared to normal controls. Human chorionic somatomammotropin expression, a marker for syncytium function, was also decreased in preeclamptic placentas. The mRNA levels of ASCT2, the syncytin-1 receptor involved in cell fusion process, and GCMa, a transcriptional factor known to regulate syncytin-1 expression, were not significantly altered. Methylation in the 5'LTR of syncytin-1 promoter was quantified by COBRA, methylation-specific PCR, and DNA sequencing. Results from all three assays indicated significantly hypermethylated syncytin-1 promoter in preeclamptic placentas compared to normal controls. Methylation levels were inversely correlated with syncytin-1 mRNA levels, suggesting that hypermethylation may lead to syncytin-1 downregulation. Further experiments indicated that DNMT1 and DNMT3B3 mRNA and protein levels were increased in preeclamptic placentas, suggesting that higher DNA methyltransferase activity may contribute to the hypermethylation of syncytin-1 in preeclamptic placentas. These results indicated that aberrant hypermethylation is involved in downregulation of syncytin-1, and epigenetic alterations may play a significant role in the development of preeclampsia.

As Qualcomm and Apple’s legal battle continues, the Cupertino giant is now trying to work out ways to continue its business in various countries without being affected by any related rulings. Case in point: back in December, a court in Munich, Germany ordered Apple to stop the sales of the iPhone models that use Intel and Qorvo modems which violate Qualcomm’s patents. The ban affects all the variants of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7, as well as the iPhone X, but the latter is not sold in Germany any longer anyway. To circumvent the ban, Apple is now modifying the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 models that will be sold in the country in the future.
The phones in question apparently infringed on an envelope tracking patent. The envelope tracking technology makes smartphones more power efficient and was introduced by Qualcomm back in 2013. To continue the sales of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 in Germany, Apple is reportedly making modified units with new chips. If reports are to go by, the new devices will be available in four weeks.
The infringing components were apparently supplied by Qorvo to Apple and it remains to be seen what chipset will replace those. Although Apple itself has not confirmed this report, dealers in Germany have reportedly already received a list that contains the model numbers for the updated versions of the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus. This will not just enable Apple to continue selling its phones in Germany; it will also not have to pay any patent licensing fee to Qualcomm.
Previously, a court in the U.S. had also discovered that Intel chips used in iPhones infringe on a Qualcomm patent but the sales of the smartphones were not banned in the wider public interest. Currently, the only iPhones available on Apple’s German website include the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and the iPhone XR. Analysts still believe there’s a slim chance Apple will continue to use Qualcomm’s baseband modems for 2020 iPhone series.
Since the chipset manufacturer is the market leader when it comes to cellular modems, and because Apple is seemingly disappointed with Intel’s progress on 5G modems, the technology giant will have no choice but to rely on Qualcomm in the future.

New America is proud to partner with the Center on Enhancing Early Learning Outcomes (CEELO) on this blog series highlighting early learning opportunities and challenges under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). In this week's post, Lori Connors-Tadros highlights three key strategies state early education administrators can use to ensure early learning is integrated throughout their state's ESSA plan. State leaders in AR, LA, MI, and WA offer advice on how to effectively partner and prepare for including early learning goals in the ESSA state plan and supports for districts.
Create an Early Learning Footprint in the State Plan -- Integrate evidence-based early childhood specific strategies through each title and section of the plan.
Robert (Bob) Butts, Senior Advisor for Governmental Relations, Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction led the statewide early learning workgroup to provide recommendations for the Washington state’s ESSA plan. Washington recently published two resources for districts -- Funding Early Learning Activities in Washington State with Title 1, Part A, birth- age five and Early Learning in ESSA: Expanded Opportunities for School Districts.
A common theme is working closely with colleagues across the education continuum, identifying common goals and illustrating the importance of alignment from pre-K through the upper grades. As the new administration encourages states to take the lead in education policy, ESSA plans will provide the blueprint for the future of children in your state. Embedding early education will help ensure them the best start possible.

The past two decades have seen considerable advances in the corpus-based “real-time” investigation of linguistic change in English, both in older stages of the language and in progress now. Inevitably, given our present resources, most claims about changes in the language as a whole have been based on written data. Against this backdrop, the present paper seeks to define the potential and limitations of the corpus-based “real-time” study of change in the spoken language, where even for a well documented language such as English the major problem is the paucity of corpus data.
In the absence of recordings of suitable quality, the study of real speech in real time will never be pushed back further than the early 20th century, but as I will make clear with the example of the WW I Phonographische Kommission recordings, a number of interesting resources may well deserve more corpuslinguistic attention than they have received so far. Considerable progress is also likely in the study of the history of the spoken language “by proxy”, i.e. through speech-based genres, of which vast amounts have recently been made available for corpus-linguistic study (Old Bailey, Literature Online, Google N-grams). Particularly with regard to grammar, though, more attention needs to be paid to the question of what is really speech-like in supposedly speech-based genres and which features of spoken syntax are likely to be edited out of the written rendering. Cleft constructions, present both in written and spoken English, but structurally and statistically more richly represented in the latter, will serve as illustration of this point.

MassDOT has announced that holders of Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL) in Massachusetts need to self-certify that they are in compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations prior to a deadline of January 30, 2014. This is required by the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and it is a national requirement.
CDL drivers need to certify required information to the Commercial Motor Vehicle section of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles regarding the type of business for which they operate a Commercial Motor Vehicle, the type of CDL vehicle which they drive, whether they drive only within Massachusetts or interstate, and whether the US DOT requires them to hold a valid medical certificate. CDL drivers who are required to carry medical certificates must provide a copy to MassDOT.
Commercial Drivers who are required to complete the self-certification process can do so on the Registry’s website, which will accept scanned or electronic copies of the medical card, if required. Mass. CDL holders can also mail or fax a completed and signed CDL Self-Certification Form to the MassDOT Driver Licensing CDL Unit.
Massachusetts CDL Drivers who fail to comply will the requirements will have their CDL driving privlidges indefinitely revoked and the Mass. RMV will disqualify them from driving a CDL. If the driver does not update his or her information after disqualification, the Registry will automatically downgrade the CDL to a Class D passenger car license within 60 days. Failure to comply with the certification requirements and fully reinstate the CDL within a 12 month period will require the driver to re-take CDL written and road tests.

Inglewood owner-trainer Marilyn Paewai is hopeful her bonny mare Rosewood can land some richly deserved Group success this weekend.
The five-year-old daughter of Redwood has won five races this preparation and will be reunited with jockey Lisa Allpress when she contests Saturday’s Gr.3 Rich Hill Stud Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes (1400m).
“I think there is a bit of an affinity between her and Lisa,” Paewai said.
With the Hawera track rated a Dead4 on Friday morning, Paewai said she was pleased to see some rain in the Taranaki region given her mare had notched eight of her nine career victories on heavy tracks.
Paewai is mindful this will be Rosewood’s tenth start of the campaign, but said it was hard to turn her out while she was thriving.
“She is just bouncing out of her skin, especially for a horse that has been up for six months,” Paewai said.
Having trained since the late 80s, Paewai works her team of three horses at the New Plymouth track these days.
Paewai, who purchased Rosewood as a weanling for just $4,000 from Bradbury Park’s 2014 New Zealand Bloodstock weanling draft, said the mare was special to her and her equine veterinarian husband, Ray.
“She is a bit of a character and it is a really good feeling buying something as a weanling for that amount of money and to have won nearly $200,000 in prizemoney.
“She is the best horse we have had, she is only five and has won nine races. She is pretty special.
With black-type care of a third placing in last year’s Gr.3 Metric Mile (1550m), Paewai is keen to see Rosewood add a stakes victory to her record.
“I would really like to get a Group Three for her,” she said.

text: Finding time for exercise is particularly challenging for busy parents. There’s a big trend towards bringing along baby, with stroller exercise classes sprouting up all over the country. So I was psyched when I saw the new Strollometer, a very cool device that attaches to your stroller and tracks a variety of fitness-related data. Using magnets and wireless transmissions, it can tell you speed (current, maximum and average), trip distance, trip time, daily mileage, ambient temperature, and time. It’s a robust little device that encourages parents to go out with their strollers and get back in shape. For the record, we weren’t the only ones who noticed this product. It was the winner of a 2006 JPMA Innovation Award, too. This product will hit the market late this Spring, and we will have them as soon as they are available. In the meantime, you can visit their website, www.strollometer.com, for more information.

In order to make spontaneous breakings less likely, toughened glass should undergo the Heat Soak Test (HST) process. This treatment is to detect nickel sulphide (NiS) inclusions inside the glass. At a temperature of about 290°C over a defined dwell time of 2 - 4 hours, an expansion of the NiS inclusions is caused what leads to a desired breakage of the pane. Thus, the HST process ensures only a minor residual risk for a spontaneous breakage of the pane after it is used for glazing.
In legal cases, the glass manufacturer as to proof that the glass was HST treated. HST checkmarker® is a patented, thermocromic and UV active ink what enables the unambiguous and forgery-proof verification of the successful Heat Soak Test at toughened safety glass.
Soon available: The HST checkmarker stamp with individual layout.

Hello, it is lovely to meet you, my name is Gia. I have been providing love, security and peace of mind for homes and pet owners in NSW and QLD. I am location independent and work for an online Agency which leaves me flexible and able to travel to watch over your loved ones (pets) and cherished possessions. I am in my early 40's, non-smoker, no dependents other than Louis.
Louis is a Maltese Shih-tzu. He is a lovely little old man, 14 years old now. A very gentle and sweet gentleman. He has a few health issues and therefore is not very mobile anymore. Very quiet, likes to stick to himself, sleeps mostly yet still enjoys a walk around the house or a couple of garden laps for peace and happiness. Because of his gentle nature he does get along well with most furfriends.
As a travel enthusiast I love that house sitting enables me to see new parts of the world and to see why you love living in them. As a sentient lover one thing that speaks to my heart is spending time with animals big and small. I love the unconditional love we exchange and the companionship they bring. I love giving them the same love and attention that you would give if you were there.
I love house sitting because I meet and fall in love with gorgeous new fur-friends and want to make sure that whilst you are away you can relax in the knowledge that I will care for your fur-babies and home as if they were my own. I have experience with senior dogs, special needs dogs and administering medication. I also have experience with alpacas, horses and cats.
I have a background in health and fitness after spending years in the fitness industry as a Personal Trainer so can be as active as you need me to be around your home and with your fur-babies. No job is too big for me. I am a jack of all trades so can be as handy inside or out with little instruction. I am happy with maintaining your gardens including mowing etc. I like to say I am a recovering perfectionist so you can rest assured your home/land/property will be clean, tidy and with lots of sparkles thrown in for good measure.
I have lived out of home for 27 years and a responsible self supporting Adult ever since. I can provide character, work and house-sitting references upon request.
I am studying and practicing animal reiki and have a love for energy healing modalities for both pets and humans. I am also a Psychic, Medium, Clairvoyant, Intuitive Empath and Tarot Reader.
I am currently committed to a rural assignment on an Alpaca farm in NSW for a 3 month duration. There are 4 curious alpacas, 2 Old English sheep dogs with personality+ and a stunning stray cat called MC. It will be a sad day when I have to say goodbye to my new friends. This house-sitting position ends April 1 and so I am actively looking for my next 'home' adventure. I would love to hear from you!

Fifteen1 faculty members from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto submitted proposals to the 2012 NSERC Discovery Grants competition. Of these, one was a first time applicant (En), two (Ga, Ia) applied after a successful appeal of 2011 results, and one (Cd) was an appellant whose appeal was denied but could reapply because the 2011 award was for zero dollars. The first table below shows the 2012 results (in thousands of dollars per year) with 2010, 2011 award amounts for those researchers.
2011 Discovery Grants Competition Aftermath Anomalies in the results of the 2011 NSERC Discovery Grants competition provoked a flurry of activity nearly one year ago. My blog post from April last year reported on surprising results for several of my colleagues at Toronto. An email flurry among Canadian mathematicians culminated in a late April public statement which was eventually signed by 336 Canadian researchers, including 35 Fellows of the Royal Society and 27 Canada Research Chairs.

Big Television, Small Living Room?
Who doesn’t love these new flat screen TVs jampacked with extra features and fancy remote controls? What about the even newer trend of 3D viewing? Ask anyone, especially on popular sports game days, wouldn’t you love a giant TV and see what kind of answers you get. But along with this trend of bigger is better, these days new construction homes are being built smaller, consequently with smaller living rooms or entertainment rooms. So how do you manage a big TV in a small room?
One thing the local San Antonio movers learned is that with a bigger television you can sit even closer to it and still get a great viewing experience. The higher the resolution the closer you can sit. But even with this fact, you still need a somewhat decent size of a space to accommodate this large household item. Some older entertainment centers aren’t even large enough to hold a television of today’s size.
The local San Antonio movers learned that the general rule of thumb is that by taking the diagonal distance of your TV, such as the popular 40”, and multiplying it by 1.5, you’ll get the minimum distance for which you should be away from the TV. So for a 40” television, viewing distance should be at 60” which is like saying 5 feet. The one thing you want to make sure of is that you don’t sit close enough that you see individual pixels.
The All My Sons of San Antonio remind you that you might have to also hang your TV or place it on furniture. In this case, you have to make sure that your eyes are level with the bottom third of the furniture. In many homes the TV is the center piece of the living room, not the entertainment display where its sitting. So make sure you highlight it and not overshadow the TV with growing plants or excessive decorative accessories.
Hopefully, your TV is where you like it. If you just moved into a new place, you can always call professionals to help you with installing your television or even help you hang it on the wall. They’ll make sure it’s sturdy and that your wall can withstand the weight of it. The San Antonio movers hope this article helps you with figuring out the perfect viewing distance for you and your family. Happy viewing!

That’s right, he’s a centaur, complete with a full horse body! Now that is fun and creative. I imagine this costume is a bit awkward to get around in, but you have got to admire the dedication and the overall quality of the costume.
Summer Camp is a great time to experience the freedom of going shirtless. For one, simply because summer camps consists of mainly outdoor activities in the hottest time of the year, so shedding the shirt is simply more comfortable. But it is also part of the experience. It embodies the care-free nature of the camp experience, as well as the freedom and self-confidence we want young men to develop. It promotes a sense of comfort and confidence with one’s own body, and a sense of camaraderie with their fellow campers as a shared bonding experience.
It has been a part of the camp experience for generations.
Whether engaging in sports, outdoor activities, or wilderness camping, shirts are not necessary for summer camp.
Staff and camp counselors should not be required to wear shirts, either. Joining the campers in going shirtless promotes bonding and makes the staff more relatable.
Of course, this is only one tiny aspect of what summer camp is about. A well-designed summer camp program should teach some skills, promote health and fitness, and build character. But incorporating a healthy body image and positive bonding experiences with friends and role models can be one aspect of that experience. So, whether you are a camper, counselor, or in administration, I want to encourage you to get out there and make the most of summer camp!

Too many people send that email that kills all chances to make their relationship work. I think it would be great if there could be an app to check the emotional tone of emails before they’re sent, the same way that spell check corrects errors.
Only the perfect app would even go farther to destroy the entire text if it was inappropriate to even be making contact. If such technology existed more relationships might succeed.
I say that because it’s unbelievable to me how many smart people sabotage potentially good relationships by pouring out their feelings in an email, and then sending it at an illogical time. For instance, when you haven’t heard from your date and you’re trying to create more of a connection. Or when you’re frustrated about something and you think venting will help build emotional intimacy. Or even worse you try to plead your case about how you think the relationship works after he or she already told you they don’t think it does.
And I’m not just talking about hurt or angry feelings, until you’re in a committed relationship positive loving feelings can be harmful too. You may have just gotten home from a great date, and then sent an email to elaborate on a topic you briefly discussed, or confess feelings you weren’t brave enough to say face-to-face. However, that may feel needy or smothering to your potential mate.
Emotional hijackings such as these completely give away your power. Most people don’t respond well to dramatic or personal information thrown at them randomly. Would you? If you’re feeling insecure or upset about something while you’re not in your date’s company, you have to be patient. Push the pause button!
Regardless of how smart our communication devices may be we still have free will. So I want to encourage you to go back to communicating the old-fashioned way.
You used to have to put your thoughts on paper, put it in an envelope, address it, buy a stamp and take it to a mailbox. Then it took at least a day to be delivered. By the time you did all that you also had time to process your feelings, and in most cases, you’d lose the desire to send it. Relationships were much simpler then. You Talked in person or on the phone. Cards and letters were rare and therefore romantic and special. It’s the draw of immediate delivery that makes email and text so seductive—but also destructive. If you wouldn’t call to say it, don’t send it electronically!
I offer in-between-support to all my clients to prevent them from sending sabotaging texts and emails.
Writing out your feelings is an excellent way to process them; it will get it off your chest and allow you to stop obsessing. But then put it away. Review what you wrote the next day when you can have a fresh perspective. If you still feel like you need to share your thoughts it needs to be a two-way conversation so you can be sure your feelings are acknowledged. E-mails will leave you vulnerable because no response is required.
As a woman, you can fall in love and can process your feelings while you’re in the company of your guy. But if you are a right-handed man, you need to step back and take a break from your woman to process your feelings. Women’s brains and left-handed men’s brains can think and feel at the same time. Right-handed men can only do one at a time. So give your right-handed man that space to step back from thinking and switch to feeling. Don’t invade his space with messages.
If you’re a right-handed man, try to extend some empathy if your woman sends emotional emails or texts that you think are illogical; given a little time, it may feel right.

BNC 07 January 2019 10:59 h.
Sevilla and Atlético tied and Real Madrid was defeated by Real Sociedad. It was a great night to win and increase the distance as a leader and Barça did it. But it was not as it could be expected. Getafe was tough, disciplined when defending and agressive when attacking.
In fact, Getafe scored first but the referee did not concede the goal as Jaime Mata committed foul to Clément Lenglet. After it, FCBarcelona started to play rampant leaded by Leo Messi. The Argentinian drived all the attacks and it was him that scored the 0-1. Messi gave Barça the lead in a play that seemed to end badly. But Leo pressed strongly, won the bounce and scored.
The goal gave Barça power and between the 10' and the 40', the team created lots of chances. Another time Messi assisted Arthur, who saw Piqué alone and passed him the ball inside the penalty area. But the centre-back was not accurate and Soria denied him the goal. However, Luis Suárez did not miss his chance. His volley shot from outside the penalty area surprised Soria. It was the 0-2 and it seemed that the match was over, but Getafe scored fastly the 1-2 before the half time.
The match was still opened, but Barça knew how to suffer during the second half and Ter Stegen denied all the chances. Barcelona won 1-2 and the team increased the distance in the top of the leadership. Atlético is at five points, Sevilla at seven and Real Madrid at ten.

The constant use of the term ‘overwatering’ is destroying your potential to learn how plants work because it puts the focus on the act of watering and makes you think that all there is to do is be more careful with watering.
The concept of 'overwatering' only addresses the "high moisture" that Phytophthora like. Low oxygen comes from poorly aerated soil - the way to mitigate this is with regular soil aeration (gently poking the soil with a chopstick) and using porous/well-draining components in soil, such as perlite. The last point, weak roots, is a much longer term condition to get to. Just like a starving person is more susceptible to illness, a starving plant will be at higher risk of root rot whenever the soil becomes moist and stale. A plant starves when it is in prolonged conditions of poor lighting. So when you water a plant in this condition, the soil moisture lingers. Put the same plant where it has the widest possible view of the sky, roots will be strong as the entire plant is working. So when you do moisten the soil, the roots will take up the water and use it to make sugars to feed itself. Therefore, good light is the key to preventing root rot.
Side note: please also stop thinking of fertilizer as "feeding" the plant. Fertilizers are like a vitamin/mineral supplement. A plant makes its own sustenance by photosynthesis. There is no replacement for light!
So warning about 'overwatering' should really be replaced by advice on where you should put your plants to prevent poor plant nourishment. My guideline for plant placement is this: ask #whatmyplantsees - make sure your plant has the widest possible view of the sky and check for its tolerance for direct sun (i.e. number of hours it can tolerate). In this position, assuming your soil is compatible with the particular plant, you can safely bring the soil to saturation because the plant will be receiving enough light to use up the soil moisture before root rot can take hold. This is the fundamental principle of plant care. It’s not even enough to use all the most porous soil with the best drainage and terracotta pots - all you’re doing is getting the soil to dry out by evaporation. You want the soil to become dry because the plant is using it for photosynthesis - therefore, proper light is the prerequisite of proper plant care.
I realize a change in the approach to house plant care won’t happen overnight. You’ll definitely still encounter the term ‘overwatering’ but, instead of thinking “Oh, I need to be more careful with watering”, you should consider whether you are giving your plant the best possible light in your home. Be your plant and analyze #whatmyplantsees - have you given it the WIDEST possible view of the sky? There’s more to light than just having a direct view of the sun and quite frankly, most of your tropical foliage plants merely tolerate seeing the sun for an hour or two (different story for cacti and flowering plants). Start with a better understanding of light and you’ll have a more rewarding experience with house plant care.
