Your local Auckland beading classes and tuition for creative and relaxing hobby.
Forget about the rigours of life and give yourself some ME time. Enjoy a relaxing friendly atmosphere whilst learnng a new craft or enhancing the skills you already have.
Be you new to beading or it is something you haven't done for a while come in and give it a go. I promise you will be uttering one of these phrases by the time you leave with your handcrafted masterpiece.
"I could get used to this, it is so relaxing."
"What a great way to relieve stress."
"I had forgotten how much I enjoyed beading."
When I first learned the art of beadweaving I did some private beading tuition and spent many hours reading books and looking up YouTube to find out how to do certain things. I have Adele (formerly of The Bead Hold Botany South) and Nia (Owner of The Bead Hold) to thank for their endless patience and great conversations on starting my beadweaving journey.
The aim of my beading classes is to teach most of you the basics from the beginning of as many stitches as possible and gradually move on to more complex designs incorporating these stitches. This will also enable you to use the basics learned to attempt projects in books and magazines on your own.
Beading classes are held in Howick Auckland, and are more suited to adults (l guess from 13yrs upwards) This ensures more one to one time in class due to smaller groups which is great for you.
Find a class that interests you in our Auckland beading classes and a time that suits and make a booking. Full payment is required at time of booking to hold your place and bookings are essential.
Classes cater to a maximum of 4 people. If a class has to be cancelled - you will be contacted to arrange a suitable replacement date. Please make sure that in the comments section you add the date and time of the class you wish to attend along with your email address. A materials list will be given once payment has been received.
If you wish to pay via direct credit please email me for details. A 50% refund will be given if you cancel a class without booking a replacement.
Class fees are for the actual class and then materials required are extra on top of that fee. Starting at $25.00 per person.

Okay. You meet someone for the first time. The questions are predictably the same. “What’s your name? What do you do? Where are you from?” And we answer them so easily because we are searching for some commonality.
But that last question is worth examining because where we are from reveals much about who we are and how we want to present ourselves - especially when we travel. We really are curious about how other people live.
Abby Hills, a 2010 HHS grad, is spending the year in Vietnam. So when she was asked where she was from, she didn’t know quite how to answer such a seemingly simple question.
That’s true. We use a shorthand to identify not only where we are from but to also project some sense of identity. Our sense of place carries information - true and false. But then Abby moved to Colorado for school and eventually became a resident there. But was she still from Fort Thomas, Kentucky?
“But then I moved to Colorado. I was out on my own and I created a whole other world for myself - one in which I came to love every corner of that space. People would ask me where I was from, and I would jokingly (but really being a bit serious) reference the spin off of the famous CO ‘Native’ bumper stickers- ‘I’m not a native, but I got here as fast as I could.’ After 5 years, I finally changed my driver’s license, the plates on my car, and all my official mail - and weirdly enough, even though it was only a few pieces of paper, it felt like a huge deal. I felt like on that day my answer to the question changed - I was officially a Colorado girl.
I understand that. I tell people that I am from Kentucky, but that line runs backwards to Ohio, to Colorado, and to Kansas. Like so many others in town, we all share a zigzag lineage that brought us to where we are. We feel a bit out of place for a while but then we make a life where we are and soon we belong.
“And then I moved to Vietnam….and I had to figure out what my answer to this question was going to be….In our first two weeks of training in Thailand, we were given an awesome presentation by one of the VIA (Volunteers in Asia) Myanmar fellows that was all about ‘Identity.’ This question- ‘Where are you from?’ - can be a major headache for the people of Myanmar, a country which has been strung together by a name but contains many different ethnic groups and minorities. Identifying yourself as a part of these certain groups can be beneficial in some cases (i.e. if the people you are with are also a part of the same group) or incredibly detrimental in other cases (if the people you are with are a part of a group that has complete opposite ideals and values as your own).
So Abby is sometimes reluctant to identify herself as being from the United States because of the history and memory of the war. But she says the more I answered the question, the more confident I became in knowing that people here [in Vietnam] don’t really have an opinion as to countries they do and do not like; they only have interest in learning about someone who comes from a place so different that they can hardly imagine it.
For many of the Vietnamese people I've met, how they go about their lives is influenced by one question above all else - how will this affect my family? Because most of them are from a small farming town and because this country is filled with people who have always thought of themselves as a collective and not as individuals, their decisions are influenced just by the answer to this question.
They have an incredibly hard time understanding firstly how I could go to university so far from my family, and secondly how I could come all the way around the world for a year without them. They interact with me and always keep this thought in mind - they are incredibly kind and wonderful to me, but at the end of the day they still recognize that I am a strange person to them, and very different from the community they come from.
I've learned so much already and a lot of it is hard to put into clear and concise terms. One lesson is this: even though we have such different cultures throughout the world, even though the languages we speak, the food we eat, the traditions we celebrate are all different, there are still things that connect us all as people. I think we sometimes lose sight of this these days because we will hear a single story about a group of people…. These stories make us forget that these people are more similar to us than different from us. In the end, most of us just want to find happiness in the small things. We want to have a good job, a loving family, and food on the table. I've loved hearing about and learning about my coworkers and students lives here in Vietnam because I keep finding so many similarities between their goals and my own! It's truly incredible.
And there it is. In the Venn diagram of similarities and differences, our circle of similarities is much, much larger than our differences.

I am pro-technology. I am a Google Certified Educator. I have written an article in Edutopia about utilizing technology meaningfully and effectively in the classroom.
I believe in teaching students how to navigate technology instead of choosing to believe it does not exist.
However, in schools that rely heavily on devices, there is an unsettling trend in student learning.
Technology has made instruction more convenient. But at what cost to student learning?
In many schools, students come prepared to learn with their devices in tow.
I am able to instruct students to research topics in class using their computers instead of sending them to the (gasp!) library. I am able to ask students to type essays and share documents quickly through Google Classroom and Turnitin.
Recently, my students were studying science vocabulary words in class to prepare for a quiz. Back in the olden days when I went to school, I would have copied the words down by hand and re-written the definition in my own words.
My students took a picture with their phone. To study later. From a picture on their phone.
And when I suggested they actually (gasp!) use their hands to write down the definitions, they balked. What do you mean write it down? On paper? I don’t have any paper. Or a pen. Cue exasperated sigh.
And this doesn’t just happen in science or English classes where information is relatively easy to deliver via online documents. In math class, my students do not write down formulas or the steps in a problem, but use their calculators to find the answers to complex equations.
I have instituted a policy, much to their chagrin, that they must fully write out each step of the formula, every single time. Their test scores and understanding have improved across the board.
Students regularly take pictures of the slides in presentations or the notes on the board. They download notes from a website to read over it later. They rely on text that is given to them instead of processed by them.
They are doing the exact opposite of what it takes to retain and process information.
Research has proven that writing notes by hand creates more neural pathways in the brain. Mental stimulation in the brain occurs when we write, and brain imaging suggests a connection between idea generation and handwriting.
When students take notes from the board by hand, they are processing the information as they read. Through this processing, they are internalizing more information than if they were to just snap a picture to look at later.
As most of us know, writing something down creates a physical engagement with the information we are learning. Typing does not create the same engagement. Typing might allow us to copy down a larger quantity of information, but this is detrimental to students who need to learn to be selective in processing the information they receive.
They concluded that the process of reflection in handwriting leads to better memory recall.
Through my own experiences in the classroom, I am convinced that my students need to spend more time with their laptops closed.
Most of my students have never taken notes by hand, and when they read a paragraph or essay are unable to identify what they should write down to remember.
Students need to spend more time learning to take notes and processing information as it is delivered. Instead of sharing presentations and typed notes with my class, I plan to teach my students how to use Cornell notes as a note-taking strategy. The use of outlines, bullet journals, and graphic organizers are all good alternatives to typing.
In addition, I plan to ask students to write paragraphs and short answers by hand utilizing editing techniques that can be used without a computer. The over-reliance on Grammerly is hindering my students from identifying the revision that is necessary in their writing.
I also advocate for the use of iPads and a stylus to write notes directly into a device (in consideration of the trees). With this method, students can write notes into a file that they can later access. They still benefit from physically selecting information to write in their notes.
It takes explicit instruction to teach students how to process information in a way that helps them learn. Through practice, students can become more adept at accessing the pathways in their brain to improve working memory and recall.
The bottom line is that students need to spend more time writing by hand. I can certainly understand their reluctance to unplug. It is much easier to be given information to learn instead of selecting the information to be learned.
I never thought I would be advocating for less technology in the classroom. As a borderline millennial, I began using computers regularly in college. I am on a laptop for a large portion of my day.
However, the research is in, and we are losing learning opportunities by spoon feeding content to our students.
Eventually students will become accustomed to receiving information without processing it.
And that is not good for our future. We as educators can take steps to ensure our students are critical thinkers capable of processing information effectively.

Modern equitation comes from the modern mind: digital, quick, logic based, rushed, armored, defensive and pushy.
The horse, however, lives in an archaic place: quiet, emotional, curious, inclusive and elemental.
Mediterranean work returns the horseman to a way of thinking, listening, and interacting that draws the handler and the horse into a shared space of connection. This moment. This idea. This movement.
Mediterranean work is used to start young horses. Resistances begin with fear. Mediterranean work aligns the young horse’s mind with the handler, so that there is never a cause to begin a resistance in the first place.
It is used to recover and rehabilitate horses that are undersaddle already but having some difficulties. Horses that are disinterested in the rider or openly resistant can find sanity in the horse human interaction through this lovely old work.
It is used to help older horses or injured ones find the comfortable use of limbs or movements that they no longer trust. It is profoundly gentle rehabilitation work for horses with a legitimate reason to feel a little “iffy” about how their bodies now work.
It is profoundly wonderful for the fearful, tired, uninspired or angry horseman: slows you down, returns you to that place of curiosity and connection that was why you began wanting to be around horses in the beginning.
Mediterranean work is hands on, very intentional and very curious touch. The handler is working with the hand, with a smooth stick or gaul, or with a heavy rope. The voice is also used. The work establishes harmony, rhythm, alignment, connection, direction and an intimate sense of trust for both the horse and the rider.

There are certain things we assume dogs know by instinct. Sniffing, for instance, sometimes in embarrassing places. Barking, too, and begging for food scraps are also downloaded onto dogs’ internal computers at the factory.
Then there’s swimming. It seems so integral to being a dog that we’ve even named a stroke after them, the dog-paddle — so you’d assume that’s another thing that every dog is born knowing how to do.
It turns out that you’d be wrong. Not every dog knows instinctively how to swim, and some can’t swim at all, Wendy Diamond, the founder and editorial director of Animal Fair magazine, told TODAY. Dogs’ aquatic abilities are so misunderstood, in fact, that she put together a list of water safety tips for dog owners.

The bustling town of Lysekil is situated on the Bohuslän coast, where the mouth of Gullmarsfjorden faces the open sea. It tends to kindle a sense of adventure, with its beautiful archipelago setting and active outdoor life.
Lysekil is located in the middle of the West Sweden archipelago, about 90 minutes from Gothenburg. Stångehuvud is a beautiful, rugged rocky area just west of the town which has a breathtaking view toward the sea, and in Lysekil itself there are many areas of beautiful architecture. Gamlestan - the old town - is the original historic centre where there are several well-preserved, charming neighbourhoods to stroll around. Other popular attractions are outdoor swimming at Kallbadhuset and Havsbadsparken, as well as Lysekil church, built in granite on a high hill overlooking the town.
Lysekil is the perfect place for pleasure-seeking pensioners and playful families with young children - and everyone in between. Take a walk along the coast, dropping in at cafés and restaurants, and enjoy some of the world’s best seafood. In the impressive tunnel aquarium at Havets Hus you can see spiny dogfish, starfish and sea eels. For the adventurous soul there are many activities, ranging from deep sea diving to climbing. Seeing the silhouette of Lysekil from a sea kayak is a marvellous experience, as is breathing in the sea air during a walk on the granite rocks.
Lysekil has more to offer than activities close to the town centre. The ferry across Gullmarsfjorden takes you to Skaftölandet, with picturesque villages such as Fiskebäckskil and Grundsund. Looking north instead, there are many exciting options waiting for you in the great outdoors on foot, by bicycle or kayak. Popular excursions include the rock carvings outside Brastad, Härnäset where the two fjords Brofjorden and Åbyfjorden meet, Röe Gård in Brodalen, and the climbing cliffs of Träleberg and Lyse. In addition, there are many farm shops in the area selling home-made foods and crafts.
In the late 19th century, the Curman couple had a large impact on Lysekil in several ways. Among other things, they designed and built several houses in the Old Norse style, known as the Curman villas. Carl Curman also designed the lookout tower at Flaggberget, and his wife Calla Curman became known as the saviour of Stångehuvud after buying and donating the area, which is now a nature reserve.
Lysekil's history dates back to the 16th century, and in common with many other West Sweden coastal villages it was characterised by busy shipping during the glory days of the herring industry. During these great herring periods, hundreds of thousands of barrels of salted herring were exported every year. During the second half of the 19th century, quarrying became an important industry with Bohus granite as an important part. There are a large number of remains from the stone industry to this day. Lysekil outdoor bathing centre was built in the 1860s and the village expanded into a popular seaside resort, which was granted a town charter in the early 20th century. No matter what time of the year you visit the town, there is a constant bustle and life in Lysekil these days.

The decision to replace alfalfa stands is based on stand establishment costs, hay price, and yield of the alfalfa stand in question and other factors. As an example, replacing an alfalfa stand with yields 2 ton/acre less than a healthy stand will pay for itself in 3 years if the cost of alfalfa establishment is $900/acre, hay price is $150/acre, and harvesting costs are assigned on a per acre basis. If harvesting costs are assigned on a per ton basis, then a 3 ton/acre rather than a 2 ton/acre stand decline is required in the scenario described above. The economic benefit of replacing an alfalfa stand increases as the cost of establishment decreases, the hay price increases, and the yield reduction due to the poor stand increases.
Replace an alfalfa stand if plant density is less than 4-6 plants per square foot. The plants or crowns should be counted soon after cutting to be able to distinguish individual crowns. Actually, the density of stems rather than plants is a better indicator of the adequacy of a stand because some plants may have few stems and not contribute much to yield. The stems should be counted when about 6 to 10 inches tall. An alfalfa stand should be replaced if the stem density is less than 40 stems per square foot where yield is 75% of maximum according to University of Wisconsin data. Yield is maximized at 55 plants per square foot. Stands may need replacement regardless of average plant or stem density if plants are not uniformly distributed or if many bare spots exist. Weeds may become a problem in a thinning alfalfa stand and may be difficult to control. Reduction in forage quality may occur in sparse stands due to thicker stems.
Alfalfa plants contain compounds that are toxic to germinating seedlings of alfalfa. These compounds are in a class of chemicals called medicarpins. The leaves and flowers contain higher concentrations of medicarpins than the stems and roots. A newer alfalfa stand has less medicarpins than an older stand. The injury to germinating alfalfa seedlings can range from slight stunting to death of the plant. To avoid autotoxicity, delay seeding alfalfa into a field previously in alfalfa by at least 2 weeks after tillage or 3 weeks after herbicide-kill of the old stand. Killing the alfalfa stand with an herbicide and then harvesting the crop may result in hay of poor quality.
Renovating an alfalfa stand involves some light form of tillage and seeding into the existing crop. This practice is rarely successful. The seeds may germinate and seedlings become established for a few weeks or months. Eventually, however, the seedlings may succumb to autotoxicity or to competition from established plants. Seedlings may become established in areas more than 8-16 inches away from other plants, outside of their zone of influence for autotoxic compounds and competition for light, nutrients, and water. So, large areas at the tail end of the field that have been killed by scald (high temperature flooding injury) are often successfully renovated.

Experts have decried the huge loss Nigerian incurs annually on foreign software.
According to them, Nigeria spends over $400 million annually on foreign software licence renewal without recourse to indigenous software that could perform the same task.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) stakeholders who gathered in Lagos, at a recent roundtable on the use of Nigerian software in the financial sector, disclosed this.
To avoid such huge amount, which they described as waste to the economy, the stakeholders unanimously called for the adoption of indigenous software across financial institutions and other sectors of the economy.
Making a case for the adoption of indigenous software in Nigeria, the Director General of NOTAP, Dr. Dan-Azumi Mohammed Ibrahim, said government must come up with workable policies that must be implemented.
According to him, NOTAP in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property (WIPO), Central Bank of Nigeria and other stakeholders, developed the Local Vendor Policy in 2007, to strategically engage local ICT firms on the implementation of foreign software agreements in Nigeria.
The Chief Executive Officer, CWG Plc, Adewale Adeyipo, stressed the need for the development of a viable software ecosystem in order to create mutual values and innovative solutions for the Nigerian market, leveraging on platform-based business models and digital technologies.
This, he said would encourage innovation and stimulate economic growth.
He, therefore, said specific skills were required as a nation to build a viable software ecosystem in order to address these substantial technological gaps.
At the stakeholders’ roundtable, which was jointly organised by the Nigerian Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP), in collaboration with CWG Plc, the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, said the theme of the roundtable: “Adoption and Development of Local Content Technology as Growth Driver for the Nigerian Economy,” came at a time the federal government was emphasising on local participation in the execution of government contracts thereby improving local content in national socio-economic development.
The minister who was represented by the Director General of the Federal Institute of Industrial Research Oshodi (FIIRO), Prof. (Mrs.) Gloria Elemo, said the federal government had launched several initiatives geared towards local content development and the patronage of indigenous technology solutions and products.

No matter how well you take care of your skin especially your face, large pores can always pop up, which make the appearance of blemishes even bigger. Enlarged pores is really due to oily skin and may continue getting larger as you get older. There are various treatments you can do to treat enlarged pores, however, natural treatments are better than industrial ones, both in terms of quality and price. This can bother both men and women, here are some natural ways to treat them.
Awkward? No! It’s vinegar and egg ingredient shrinks the pores and leave skin looking and feeling tighter. Apply a tablespoon of mayonnaise to your face and let it sit for 20 minutes. However, it is not recommended for those who have oily skin.
Besides being an old product for clarifying your skin, milk serum helps reduce the size of open pores. The treatment consists of washing your skin at night. Scrub a cotton ball that has whey on your face. After 20 minutes, you should wash it with cold water.
Blend 1/3 cup of almonds until they become a powder. Then, add water gradually until you get a dough. Apply this starting with your nose and going out to the areas that have the enlarged pores. Let sit for 30 minutes and then wash your face with warm water. Do this treatment at least twice a week.
This lemon mask is formed by mixing a small amount of water and lemon juice. Use a cotton ball upon application . Let sit for approximately a half hour and avoid contact with your eyes. Lastly, remove the mixture with cold water.
Wash your face and then rub a pealed papaya on it. You should do this with the part from inside the peal. After 15 minutes, wash your face with a little bit of hot water. The treatment is also good for the possible reduction of pimples.
Just mix an egg white with a tablespoon of powdered milk. Blend these two ingredients without any foam getting out and then add in the sliced apple and cucumber. Mix it until you get a uniform paste and apply it to your face for 15 minutes. Then remove the mask with warm water.
This clay mask is prepared a week before and can be used once a week In this way, the clay can make your pores breath better and remove dirt and grease from them. It reduces the enlarged pores, and absorbs excess oil.
The only thing that you need to do is add a few drops of lemon to your facial cream in another container. After, mix it and apply it to your face as if it were a mask for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, remove the mixture with warm water.
Perfect to apply during bedtime. Add a tablespoon of yogurt to a sliced apple. Also add a tablespoon of honey and lemon. Mix the ingredients until you get a homogenous mixture and then apply it to your face for 15 to 20 minutes. This mixture will also smooth your skin.
The glycolic acid in exfoliants helps smooth deeper salicylic acid and the superior layer of the skin. In this way, your pores become unblocked and their size gets reduced.
With this, your skin is smoothed, enlarged pores are shrunk, it eliminates wrinkles and dry spots. For this reason, it is a good option for those that have mature skin and bad pores.
Laser treatments are recommended as the last option because it is expensive but lasts longer. Laser treatment processes consists of a pulse of light that is directly pointed on your skin. If you use it, you have to avoid contact with the skin so that your skin does not get damaged.No matter how well you take care of your skin especially your face, large pores can always pop up, which make the appearance of blemishes even bigger. Enlarged pores is really due to oily skin and may continue getting larger as you get older. There are various treatments you can do to treat enlarged pores, however, natural treatments are better than industrial ones, both in terms of quality and price.

I2C hardware sending an extra 8 clocks (byte?) at end of READ.
Where passing 0 as the 1st parameter to IIC_CycleRead causes an ACK and passing a 1 causes a NAK. The 1st res is written over as it is a dummy read.
Is this actually the correct way to handle I2C?
As mentioned before the double-buffered I2C implementation has various errata and especially has problems when using repeated starts.
and ensure that you monitor the repeated start condition as being completed before starting the read.
You can put random delays in the code (as NXP does) to possibly get around some effects (if you are feeling lucky) but if you follow the diagram there you should be able to get something reliable. The method has been proven in various industrial products which intensively use I2C on various double-buffered design parts for >18 months and is considered fully reliable now.
You may also consider interrupt driven operation to improve overall code efficiency.
For reasons I do not want to go into, I2C interrupts are off the table. That said, I have, none the less, been trying to use I2C interrupts as "flags" to indicate when I may set / send various I2C signals to the slave. I have been able to get rid of the extra 8 bits (thank you). But have been unable to remove a hard coded delay after the RESTART but before the 2nd time I send the slave address during an I2C read. I have crafted some code which waits for the the START/STOP I2C interrupt. And it appears to work as a while() loop consistently iterates 11 times after the RESTART is sent. However this does not appear to be long enough as I get back all 1's from the EEPROM as if I didn't wait at all. Are there other indications offered up by the KL03 I2C registers that can be interrogated to determine when it is safe to sent anything after a RESTART?
I thought the KL25 did not have double buffering. And the KL03 did. This, I had thought, makes any suggestions with respect to the KL25's I2C hardware almost useless when applied to the double buffered KL03 I2C hardware.
KL25 and KL03 have different I2C IPs and so the KL25 code won't help.
Apart from the fact that the code is blocking while sending there shouldn't be any difference in its behavior, whether you are spinning on flags or handling them in interrupts.
In fact NXP recommends using DMA due to the fact that the implementation doesn't wait as it should for slave responses but again, if you are just spinning on flags, you shouldn't have any issues with being fast enough.
The diagrams in the doc show all flags involved and the ordering of flag changes is always the same so (at the moment) I know of no other indications to be used. You can download the OpenSource uTasker project which includes the double-buffered I2C driver for comparison if you like. You can also run its I2C emulation in VS in case that may help.

The ad is for a Bucherer watch, and it shows a man with his daughter perched on the edge of a pool. The emendation tells us that this man cares more for his watch than he does for his daughter.
My first indication that the 80s trend had broken was a poster for a Tom Cruise movie on which someone had scrawled: “Die Yuppie Scum.” It was a useful indicator, a little early warning.
Our emendator was not done. The logo of Bucherer is, apparently, “for people who do not go with the times.” The last 6 words are crossed out and “don’t care about their kids” is added.
There is evidence of hostility these days…against the hedge fund managers, banking executives, those who ran the likes of AIG, and guys like Bernie Madoff. This ad suggests that the wealthy are vain, self centered, irresponsible. Conspicuous consumption is now doubly conspicuous.
The anthropological questions: could this hostility scale up into a more substantial class hostility? Will it be used by individuals to mandate their own departures from existing consumption patterns? Can something like shame be used by some people to comment on and constrain the behavior of others? Will this work?

The Guillotine seems perfectly reasonable for a class of people who have no intention of returning that which doesn’t belong to them. You may recall I commented about this long before it was considered polite on your blog.
It’s not about revenge. It’s about decontamination.
There’s all sorts of conspicuous consumption patterns that could be made non-viable if it became normal amongst even a minority to actively challenge them. Ostentatiously expensive cars could be keyed whenever parked in a public place, it is trivial to destroy expensive clothes worn on public transport with a 5 cent stick of gum, in some British teenage subcultures theft of mobile phones from ostensibly affluent owners has been referred to colloquially as “taxing” for a while already.
I loathe this type of self-rigtheous envy and mob justice. It makes me fantasize about buying luxuries I normally wouldn’t just to push into the faces of the haters. Car-keyers and suit-gummers ought to be caned by Singaporean experts.
The juxtaposition of graffiti and advertising is always rich in meaning. In the case of the wealthy poster-dad, it is the self-satisfied better-family-guy-than-you message (“sees his daughter every day”) that makes any self-respecting working stiff want to punch him in the nose! Imagine having to be filthy rich to have time to lavish on your children! Well, this is America. Of course, you do have to be rich to have everything that’s promised in our pursuit of happiness. Duh. So who do you suppose wrote the graffiti? I’m guessing a hard-working guy with a family. Or, a woman? Would a hard-working woman have written it? On the train, late, after a tiring, futile day in the office? Maybe Tootsie? I mean, there is plenty of well-founded hatred in that movie, isn’t there? And I am just fascinated by the comments this generated. Pretty nasty. Interesting stuff going on. Thanks, Grant, for your sharp eye out there. Class hostility in America has always been right there just below the surface (which is just another way of saying unnoticed.) Oh yeah, take a look back in history. Skip Marx and check out the Gracchi brothers in 133 BCE in Rome, a city filled with meaningful graffiti! Class hostility, justifiably enraged by consumption on display, has figured in societies and histories from the get go.
not all people are being affected by the economy.
Rodney Crowell’s “Obscenity Prayer” song might be a good soundtrack for this topic.

Whether you’re a believer in Universe magic and synchronicity or you still need a little convincing, research shows that people who describe themselves as ‘lucky’ really end up having more good fortune in their lives.
I know the more I wake up in excited anticipation of good things happening to me, the more I consciously look for goodness in the world, and the more I celebrate every little blessing with a Woohoo, thanks Universe!, the more amazing things happen.
Positivity and Gratitude = Goodness and Gifts, Magic and Miracles is pretty much an unbreakable law in my life, like 1 + 1 = 2 (or a bottle of wine = a sore head).
…We found an eBay listing for the exact couch we wanted (colour, size, new condition) available in our neighbouring suburb, an hour before we were heading to the store to buy it for almost triple the price. That same morning, the café where we were having brunch gifted us free gluten free raspberry cakes.
…The weekend after I found out the name of an obscure philosophy book by an Indian guru I really wanted to read, it showed up at a secondhand bookstall at the Sunday markets for $6.
…When I celebrated reaching a milestone number of beautiful, amazing, inspiring subscribers by toasting the Universe on our apartment balcony and dancing to songs like Pharrell’s Happy, they doubled the next day. What had previously taken months, took 24 hours. The power of gratitude, baby!
…A course I wanted to enrol in was fully booked out, but they had a dropout on the same day I emailed them hoping to get a coveted spot.
My favourite story is about the time I was at the supermarket and I reached the checkout only to realise I’d forgotten to grab a cucumber. In the following minutes as I waited in line, a cucumber in the pile of groceries belonging to the couple in front of me got caught on the side of the conveyer belt and made its way into my pile of groceries. No hands, no intervention (physically, anyway!) – just Universe luck bringing me a cucumber. I had to laugh!
Why does declaring yourself a lucky person work?
Beliefs are incredibly powerful – they filter how we see the world.
Once you’ve programmed your worldview (the world is a beautiful, friendly, abundant place vs. the world is hostile, competitive and scary), your subconscious mind starts seeking out information to match your beliefs.
When you think of the world as full of problems, fear and misfortune, that’s exactly what you find.
You’re not able to see all the beauty, blessings, kindness, love, abundance and opportunity surrounding you in every moment – because you’re not looking for them.
Have you ever spent time thinking of something (a pink car, a black pug, a penny, an engagement ring) and then all of a sudden you spot them everywhere?
It’s the same with good fortune, magic and blessings in your life. Spend time focusing on the positive, and then all of a sudden you will find it.
What you think and how you feel sends a signal to the Universe about what you want. You attract things resonating on the same emotional frequency as you.
If you put a strong and clear desire out to the Universe, you truly believe and claim it as yours (including feeling gratitude in advance, living it in your head and matching your emotional energy), and you take inspired action towards it, the Universe will conspire to bring it to you. People, circumstances, opportunities and gifts will arrive in your life to make it happen.
So the more you expect your desires to come true because you’re such a ‘lucky person’, the more they will – particularly if they are coming from your soul, your authentic self, the true you.
This is when dreams unfold like magic and you feel like you are gently flowing downstream on the river of life – action feels energising (not draining) and you intuitively know the right answers and come up with bang-on ideas.
This world is like a mountain; Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him. Change your heart to change the world.
I like this post… I thought I considered myself lucky but I think I need to think it more… Although good things have been happening, just not the things I thought! But this is so inspiring! Great post!
So true, whether you believe you’re amazingly blessed, or life is against you, you will be right.

UK-based biotech F-star has named Dr Eliot Forster as its new chief executive.
Based at the Babraham Research Campus in the Cambridge biotech cluster, the firm has been under the leadership of Dr John Haurum since it was set up in 2006. He is now handing over to Forster, who recently left another UK biotech, Oxford-based Immunocore.
While Immunocore is focused on novel immuno-oncology drugs, F-star specialises a new generation of bispecific antibodies, with cancer also its prime focus.
F-star has two assets in development, including its lead first-in-class, Merck KGaA-partnered candidate FS118, which works by simultaneously blocking two tumour growth promoting immune checkpoint molecules.
Dr Eliot Forster has been in the sector for more than 25 years, having served in senior positions for Pfizer and GSK.
At Immunocore, he helped the company raise a huge $320m during in a series A financing round – a feat which he may aim to duplicate at his new company.
“Over recent years, IO has transformed the oncology treatment paradigm, offering significantly better options to patients,” he says.
The company has deals with the likes of Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck KGaA and AbbVie.

Pickleball continues to gain in popularity. What can tennis learn from its growth?
When discussing the rising popularity of pickleball with others in the tennis industry, I’ve found that many are unsure about what, if anything, we should do in response. After seeing pickleball in practice, it’s clear to me that we can learn important lessons by examining what this sport appears to be doing so well.
First, pickleball players are eager to share their sport with others. My first direct experience with pickleball occurred while on a family vacation. During a walk through a park near our hotel, I noticed a group playing. As soon as I approached to get a closer look, a man greeted me with a warm smile and invited me to play. Since that trip, I have had the opportunity to drop in on pickleball groups in other states, and without exception players have quickly and wholeheartedly invited me to join them in playing. This enthusiastic willingness to let others join in on the fun certainly contributes to the increasing popularity of pickleball.
In addition, the way pickleball play is organized makes it easy to share with new players. Pickleball groups frequently use a “mixer”-style format on multiple courts, in which players who win move up a court while players who lose move down. If there are too many participants for the number of courts, players take turns sitting out matches. The mixer format is fluid in application and easily accommodates new players who happen to show up on any given day. Using this flexible format and having an eagerness to share the sport with others — often newcomers — helps in getting people to give it a shot.
But it is the immediate success players enjoy in pickleball that really matters. The ball travels slow enough and bounces low enough so even beginners of modest ability can keep the ball in play, which is what makes any racquet or paddle sport fun. This early gratification inspires new players to come back, but that’s not the only important takeaway. A subset of these new players anticipate that family, friends and acquaintances would also enjoy pickleball, partly because it is so easy to play. In turn, these players take the sport back home.
Consider the profound expansion in the number of pickleball players and sites in recent years, despite limited funding or organizational push. This expansion is the result of beginners having been warmly welcomed to try the sport at sites that use a flexible playing format, and they typically enjoy instant success. As a result, many of them take pickleball elsewhere to share with others.
Tennis has all of the pieces to replicate the success of pickleball. The mixer-style format is nothing new, low-compression and foam tennis balls allow players to rally successfully right away, and we have plenty of players who love sharing tennis with others.
If we thoughtfully assemble these pieces and pay close attention to the ball used for beginners, tennis is capable of similar success. Let’s give it a try.

From solar farms and sewage treatment plants in its headquarters in Naqoura to the building of a greenhouse out of recycled plastic bottles in a UNIFIL position near Kafr Chouba in south-eastern Lebanon, UNIFIL peacekeepers have been striving to protect the environment of the communities they serve in south Lebanon.
As World Environment Day is observed globally today, UNIFIL is redoubling its efforts in reducing the environment footprint of its more than 10,500 peacekeepers coming from 42 countries. One of the initiatives is the installation of hundreds of solar panels at its headquarters, generating about 4.5 per cent of the total electricity consumption. In addition, they not only treat the sewage originating from the base, but also the wastewater originating from the Naqoura Municipality. About 2,800 residents of Naqoura are connected to the UNIFIL sewage treatment plant.
In many of the 55 UN positions spread across the 1,060 square kilometre UNIFIL area of operation, between the Litani River and the Blue Line, the peacekeepers have also applied innovative ways to reduce their environment footprint.
While Nepalese peacekeepers have re-purposed single use plastic bottles into plant pots, Indian peacekeepers have built a greenhouse out of recycled plastic bottles. Likewise, Italian peacekeepers recently donated 30,000 single-use water bottles and as many bottle caps, collected over a period of 20 days, to a local non-governmental organization working in the field of environment.
Also today, UNIFIL organized a ceremony to mark World Environment Day, with the theme “Beat Plastic Pollution”, at the mission headquarters in Naqoura, with the participation of senior UNIFIL officials, Lebanese environment activists, local officials and fellow peacekeepers. At the ceremony, UNIFIL’s Deputy Force Commander Major General Shivaram Kharel said UNIFIL carries out various environmental activities, including awareness raising on global warming, sustainable consumption and the preservation of the wildlife.
An environmental activist and a Lebanese Presidential advisor, Claudine Aoun Roukoz, also addressed the ceremony, noting that UNIFIL peacekeepers work “tremendously” in the field of environment. “As the people, the owners of the land, have embraced these peacekeepers, the latter have embraced in their turn the people’s health and social demands,” she said.
On the occasion, members of the UNIFIL leadership team and Ms. Roukoz handed certificates of appreciation to UNIFIL’s Ghanaian Battalion, Indian Battalion, Nepalese Battalion and Italian Engineering Company for their significant contribution to preserve environment and “beat plastic pollution” in the UNIFIL area of operation.

High school is scary in a lot of ways – but one one of the biggest stress factors is figuring out what the heck we’re supposed to do with our lives after graduation. And so, with so many careers out there, it’s common to focus on the boring, overrated jobs that everyone chooses – teacher, doctor, engineer, etc.
Unfortunately, many students forget the one rewarding career that they see on an almost daily basis: an OC Transpo driver.
Here’s a simple test to see if this may be the career for you: are you a punctual person? Do you get commended for your reliability? Do you aspire to have a job where you get to help people every day? If your answer to any of these questions was yes, stop reading now. This is likely not the path for you.
Every career path deserves careful consideration. Look at you, reading this article in your spare time already! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
This one’s easy for most Lisgarites – just start paying attention to the driver on the bus ride to school! While it may be tempting to keep your eyes glued to the clock when you realize you’re about to be late (again), focus on the driver: this research will be critical for the next few steps.
Please note that a waiting time of 15 minutes or more at the bus stop is completely to be expected – don’t worry about being in the wrong place! As long as you’re standing directly at the stop, facing the road, and holding out your card with your right arm while humming the national anthem, no bus driver will accidentally pass you by.
Weather conditions can occasionally send a bus running off schedule, though, so take a look at the forecast too; if it’s snowy, rainy windy, cloudy, sunny, too hot, too cold, hailing, foggy or slightly damp, there is a strong chance that your bus may have been thrown off schedule.
It’s never too early to start practising for the career you want. Equipment is always handy here; just as future doctors may start off with a first aid kit, future OC Transpo workers are encouraged to purchase air horns and practise clearing the stairwells with them as they struggle to get to their next class.
Although this step may seem slightly more difficult than the first two – for those less privileged of of us who don’t have busses on hand that they can drive around – fear not. As the writer of this guide, I am highly qualified in providing other ways of practising for the daily duties you can expect on the job.
Firstly, start offering rides to all of your friends. Although a driver’s license would be useful here, it is not strictly necessary. Set up a time to meet them, and make sure you always show up earlier than they expect – 10 to 15 minutes is appropriate. This demonstrates how responsible you are as a person.
Congratulations! Your hard work and effort has paid off and presumably you are now an OC Transpo driver. Celebrate the victory with any friends you still have left.

Three years ago we set out on a mission to transform Cofactor into a company that would lead our industry in pre-clinical discovery services using RNA and clinical tests that would fully leverage the power of RNA.
When we made the commitment to create a different path than other next generation sequencing companies — companies who perform every sequencing application/test known in the industry (i.e. becoming the equivalent of a buffet with 200 items… a lot of variety, but none spectacular) — some really great things happened. We became able to focus our development on building a small number of solutions that represent the very best in the industry, while also providing the best turnaround and pricing available. This is the benefit of specialization in any industry, and this is clearly at work at Cofactor.
For all our valued partners and clients, and for those of you we haven’t yet worked with, we would like to share our 2016:Q2 updated RNA-seq preclinical discovery offerings. They allow you to characterize samples with very limited quantities (our picoRNA offering) and also samples that are very challenging due to low quality (our FFPE99 offering). The prices presented below include full comparative expression analysis and Cofactor’s RNA-seq ActiveSite. In addition, we are excited to offer a 3-week turnaround on all of the products listed below. These products are the result of our R&D and refinements we’ve developed from working with thousands of samples.
Contact us today to take advantage of these offerings and be able to include samples in your study that were previously inaccessible.
RNAble-seq – Standards and controls crucial for success lacking from core lab facilities and other service providers.
picoRNA – Gain access to valuable and limiting sources such as; FNA, sorted cells, rare samples, laser capture tissue biopsy.
FFPE-99 – Eliminates variability in low quality RNA samples that have high clinical value.

Is it time to say ‘Good-bye’ to your lawn mower?
An Economical Alternative to Natural Grass is Fake or Artificial Grass: You just Spread It and Forget It.
You hate mowing the lawn, but what can you do? The grass grows and never stops until the winter. Even then, it seems like the grass keeps growing – waiting for you, waiting for spring to hit. You spend most of your weekends filling up the mower with petrol and walking or riding around the lawn. You wished you could be doing something else. It doesn’t have to be this way. Did you know that you can ditch the grass in your yard and have fake grass instead? Consider the stunning examples of artificial grass available on the market today which are a fantastic economical alternative to Natural Grass.
As an economical alternative to natural grass, “fake grass” or artificial grass is making a comeback. One of the reasons you might be hesitant about laying down artificial grass is precisely because it’s artificial. It seems like it should look artificial – but it doesn’t.
Today’s artificial grasses have a blade-focused design that makes them look more like real grass than fake grass. Your lawn will look as real as your neighbor’s real grass. In fact, artificial grass comes with infill. Infill is sand or ground up rubber that mimics real dirt. This makes your artificial grass stand up taller so your lawn not only looks real but feels real too.
A freak storm, an unexpected drought, and record-high temperatures won’t ruin your yard anymore. This economical alternative to natural grass will look just as good in 20 years time as the day you installed it.
With real grass, you have to contend with bugs, moss, weeds, and other natural nuisances that can ruin the look, feel, and consistency of your yard. With artificial grass, not only do you rid yourself of the need to mow every weekend, you don’t have to deal with all of the yard problems everyone else has to deal with every day.
If you’ve ever tried to maintain your yard, you know it’s an ongoing expense. You constantly battle mother nature, the neighbourhood kids, and even yourself with the costs of fertilising, mowing, and aerating the lawn.
With artificial grass, you install it once, and you forget about it. It never needs to be watered, cut, or fertilised. You’ll never have to haul in sod to replace dead or rough patches, and the snow and summer won’t ruin all your efforts. Instead, you can enjoy your backyard without constantly worrying about trampling it or ruining it. Set up a hammock and relax. It really is an economical alternative to natural grass.
It used to be that artificial turf was just for stadiums. Not anymore. Synthetic grass is springing up everywhere. Because of advanced colour and cut designs, it looks more like real grass than the bright neon stuff you’re probably used to seeing.
That’s a big reason why many homeowners are considering it – it looks almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Because most Australians are busy people, they’ve found value in pulling up the old high-maintenance real stuff in favour of something that’s fake – yet it provides real value and enjoyment. It really is a fantastic and economical alternative to natural grass.
Consider Fake, Artificial or Synthetic Grass – an economical alternative to natural grass.
And tell your lawnmower to get stuffed!

This articles gives you information on the Proficiency of the Ancient Indians in various Crafts, Science and Mathematics.
Ancient India has given very substantial contribution to the world in the field of art, crafts, mathematic and sciences. Sohan valley provides us chopper-chopping tools, hand-axes and even microliths which throw light on the tool-making technology which evolved in Indian sub-continent during Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods.
Bhimbetaka, situated near Bhopal is an interesting site in context to Mesolithic art. Here, on the rock holders, especially in caves and caverns ritual and hunting scenes as well as group dances of the man of Stone Age have been depicted.
From Mehargarh and Kalibangan we get evidence of well developed agrarian economy and sedenry life. Mehargarh has provided seeds of grains and at Kalibangan furrow marks in an arable piece of land have been noticed which belong to Pre-Indus period.
During Harappan civilization Indian subcontinent witnessed vital changes in the economic life and it was a period of great technical advancement made in different fields. Ceramic bi-chrome as well as polychrome was made during the period. Masonic art especially bead-making became an important craft.
mathematics. English-bond and Flemish-bond methods have been used by the Harappan architects as the technique of bonding the bricks and erecting majestic houses.
Lost-wax technique was also known to the Harappans. The statue of the dancing girl is a splendid testimony of this technique.
Vedic Sulva Sutra which elucidates about the construction of the Vedic alters gives immense information about different geometrical forms. Though no any text on Vedang Jyotisha has been yet discovered, but tradition says that astronomy and astrology was an integral part of Vedic sacrifices.
During 6th century B.C. coinage system evolved in India. We have a good number of punch-marked coins belonging to this period. Maurya period is no doubt a landmark in the history of India’s science and technology. Magasthenese describes the acrolithic nature of the Mauryan palace in Pataliputra which excelled in beauty and grandeur than the western Asiatic cities of Susa and Ekbatna.
Ashoka was a great patron of art and architecture. It was during his period that monolithic colossal pillars were made and installed at various places. These pillars have been known to the world far their lustrous gloss. This gloss in generally known as Mauryan polishes which was created by constant rubbing on the surface till desired gloss was attained.
Barabar cave, especially Loma and Sudama caves are significant examples of the masonic technology of this period. These caves marked the beginning of rock-cut architecture in India.
A number of art schools flourished during Sunga, Satvahan and Kushana period. Mathura, Gandhar, Sanchi, Bharhut, Bodhgaya, Amarawati and Nagarjuni-Konda are world famous for sculptural art and magnificent stupa.
Rock-cut caves having exquisitely carved out facade and gigantic pillars surmounted by animal capitals are wonderful architectural creations of the world. Rock-cut caves of Bhoja, Kondane, Karle, Nasik and Ajanta are the splendid specimen of the stupendous effort that Indian artisans did in this era.
Ayurveda. Gupta period has been regarded as the glorious and golden age in Indian History. In this period a good number of books were written on science, technology and mathematics of that period.
Aryabhatta, wrote Aryabhathiyan and Suryasidhantika respectively on mathematics and Indian Astrology. Aryabhatta has given details about solar eclipse, rotation of earth and changes of seasons. We also know from his books that use of zero, decimal system and algebra was known to Indians during ancient period.
Iron pillar now installed at Mehrauli is a great example of metallurgical art and technology of this period. Sultanganj Buddha image of bronze is another great example of metallurgical art.
Nagar style of temples having curvilinear spire emerged during this period. Deogarh temple of Jhansi is a great testimony of the Masonic art of that age.
During Post Gupta period, a number of great works were done on different faculties of learning. Vagbhatt wrote Astanghriadya, a text on Ayurveda that describes the eight important organs of human body. Books on veterinary science like Hastichikitsa of Pal-Kappya and Asvachikitsa by Salihann were written. Bhaskracharya wrote a compendium on mathematics named Leelavati.
Brahmgupta wrote Bramsphuta Sidhanta which covers astrology, astronomy and also physics. Sidh Nagarjun was another great scholar of this period. His greatest contribution to the field of ancient chemistry is Ras Ratnakar. During this period various texts related with canons of sacred architecture were also compiled.
Aparajitprichcha, Samaranganstradhar, Mayamatta, Ishan visviagurudeopadhati etc. are some of the best known books on religious edifices of the country. Vishnudharm otharapuran, which is a part of Vishnupuran, elucidates about the technique of wall painting and econometric.
Rock-cut caves of Elphanta, Ellora and Ajanta and the lofty temples of Pallava and Chola period like Kailashnath temple of Kanchipuram and Vrihdeshwara temple of Tanjor are the finest examples of Indian architecture as well as art which are based on scientific principles and paradigam of balance, proportion and econometric.
Why Rajput’s were defeated by the Turko- Afghans and Mughals’?
Were the Chola village assemblies democratic in nature?

The Louisiana State House of Representatives just unanimously passed a resolution to have a monument depicting the Ten Commandments on the state capitol grounds.
When challenged regarding this apparent defiance of church/state separation, lawmakers replied that there was no conflict. "The proposed monument is more of an historic marker than a religious one," said Representative Patrick Williams (D-Shreveport). "It's the role the Ten Commandments plays in shaping society and laws that's being recognized. It's about our historical heritage."
Williams is also the one who responded to a question about why the legislative session was opened with a prayer with puzzlement. "How do you define what 'separation' is? After all, all denominations are allowed to pray."
Williams' opinion was mirrored by Representative Page Cortez (R-Lafayette). "I don't see a problem having the Ten Commandments out in front of the Capitol," Cortez said. "The Ten Commandments is the basis of Judeo-Christian principles. A monument is simply a reflection of what we stand for."
It's simply a celebration of our "historical heritage," then? Odd that no one is proposing erecting a monument to the Code of Hammurabi (one of the first codified legal systems) or the Magna Carta (which was one of the inspirations for the Bill of Rights). Both of these form a major part of our "historical heritage."
As far as "how do you define separation?" -- well, Representative Williams, it's simple. If it implies a governmental establishment of religion, it's not. How's that? And let's look at the Ten Commandments. Oh, how about Number One: "Honor the Lord thy God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt; you shall have no other God before me." Hmmm, that seems pretty unequivocal.
The interesting thing about the erecting of a monument to the Ten Commandments is that everyone is focusing on defending themselves against arguments over why they shouldn't be displayed, and no one seems to have a cogent argument about why they should be. What earthly purpose does such a monument serve? Let legislators pray in their churches. Let them study biblical writings in their spare time. Why do we need a religious monument on governmental grounds? "Honor the Lord thy God" has no place in government, nor the schools (nor, for the record, in the Pledge of Allegiance). The whole thing smacks of the Christian majority doing this just because they are a majority -- i.e., just because they can.
You might ask why I'm bothered by this. Certainly, I can just ignore it; it would do me no harm, it might seem, to walk past the monument without stopping, and allow the Christians to have their little victory. But what worries me is that old cliché of the slippery slope. The Pledge of Allegiance, complete with "under god," is by law recited every morning over the loudspeakers at every public school in the United States. Swearing-in rituals conclude with "so help me god." Even our currency states "In God We Trust." If America moves toward becoming a theocracy, it won't be a sudden collapse of the secular government and its replacement by a religious ruler, as it was when the Shah of Iran fled and was replaced by Ayatollah Khomeini. It will be little step by little step, drip by drip, until one day we wake up and find ourselves in a country where Christianity drives policy, where religious law and secular law have coalesced to the point that they are indistinguishable.
I think we are already at the point where Christianity DOES drive policy. Why else do we care what faith some politician claims to believe? Why does anyone care about Mitt Romney and his Mormon beliefs? Why else would politicians refer to war in the middle east as a Crusade?
No, I am afraid the theocracy is here, but merely shrouded in ignorance. At least folks in Iran knew when their democracy was replaced. We sold our democracy away. All in the name of fear.
