Coachella is a quiet community in Riverside County that has seen its population grow rapidly in the new millennium. In spite of this new growth, Coachella itself remains a relatively small town and an oasis from some of the hustle and bustle in other parts of the Coachella Valley. The city's affordable housing options and close proximity to nearby agricultural operations have long made Coachella a popular option for working class families .
Most of Coachella's commercial activity takes place on Harrison Street and Grapefruit Boulevard, the city's main throughways. Coachella has a strong Hispanic influence, as the area once attracted many immigrants. These historic ties are notably present in Pueblo Viejo, the historic older portion of the city. Coachella also celebrates multiple festivals and events throughout the year, including large Cinco de Mayo and Fiestas Patrias parties.
The population of Coachella has doubled since 2000, creating a massive need for new housing. To meet this need, many developers have built single family homes and apartment complexes. In spite of this, the lack of housing options has made for a tight rental market with an extremely limited supply of available units.
With a large pool of potential tenants and population slated to continue growing, investing in Coachella housing could prove a valuable proposition for motivated investors.
Of course, turning a profit in a Coachella rental is often easier said than done. Property management comes with countless challenges—from finding qualified tenants for the unit to responding to maintenance requests and processing rent checks, many investors find management can quickly become a full-time job.
Working with a trusted Coachella property management team offers a convenient solution for local landlords. At RPM Desert Cities, we've helped countless property owners to get more out of their rental homes. Our team understands the challenges of the Coachella rental market, and we make continual suggestions to help our clients maximize the return on their investments.

Vastavam web: President Donald Trump has informed Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell that he is the pick to replace Janet Yellen at the helm of the central bank, a media report said today.The Wall Street Journal report quoted two people familiar with the matter as saying Trump spoke to Powell yesterday to inform him of the decision.
If confirmed by the Senate, Powell would take over from Yellen when her four-year term as Fed chair expires in February. Powell has already been through that confirmation process in order to become a member of the Fed’s board.The choice marks the first time since Jimmy Carter’s administration in the 1970s that a president has failed to reappoint the Fed chair named by his predecessor.
After months of public debate, analysts say Powell represented a middle-ground option for the president, who wanted to mark a departure from the Obama era, while markets prefer continuity and favoured Yellen who has presided over an era of low inflation and steady economic growth.

Srinagar: A police constable, who took away four service rifles from a police post in Budgam district of Kashmir, has reportedly joined terrorist outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.
He said there were intelligence inputs suggesting that Mushtaq had joined the terrorist group.
There have been several instances of Jammu and Kashmir policemen fleeing with service rifles and joining various terrorist outfits.

As we travel, we get to see mountains. Impressive mountains.
This beautiful snow capped mountain is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山) near the medieval town of LiJiang (丽江). While LiJiang itself is a picturesque town with 800 year old houses where the nationality (ethnic group) of NaXi live, the mountain looms in the distance and forms a rugged backdrop.
The highest peak in North America is Mount Denali (Mount McKinley) in Alaska. Surrounded by a vast national park bearing its name, the peak often hides behind clouds. When it occasionally becomes visible, its snow cap pokes above clouds.
The highest mountain in the beautiful land of New Zealand is Mount Cook. While the mountain is monumental, the land leading to the mountain is just as spectacular. The wide valley floor dwarfs trees and the occasional car.
The glacial runoff from Mount Cook is so laden with silt and gravel the water appears grey.
On the high Tibetan plateau, snow capped mountains look like low hills. As I suffered severe altitude sickness when our bus climbed the highest point of the highway at 3.2 miles high, I did not visit the Himalaya Mountains. Otherwise I would have seen even more impressive snow capped mountains.
One of the most beautiful mountain we have seen is the Yosemite Valley. The ancient glaciers shaved off halves of rocky peaks and left sheer cliffs and hanging water falls.
The main temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia is a breathtaking rendition of the Hindu sacred Mount Meru, home of the gods. According to Hindu myths, it is 600,000 miles high, making it the highest mountain on mythical Earth. This UNESCO site should be on everybody’s bucket list. Almost every square inch of the stone buildings is wonderfully covered by skillfully carved figures and decorations.
In the real world, the tallest mountain is Hawaii’s Mauna Kea. This live volcano rises 33,000 feet straight from the ocean floor, taller than any other on Earth. But it is only 13,800 feet above sea level, allowing Mount Everest at 29,000 feet to be recognized as the highest mountain on Earth.
Sally and I ascended the “top of Europe” at Jungfrau (少女峰) in Switzerland. The cog wheel train climbed the peak at 25% slope at times. To ride in a train high above the clouds is an experience found only in dreams.
The Great Wall of China was built in mountainous regions, in places. It is a challege to walk on the Wall as it climbs up and down hills. It must have been a nightmare for workers to build the Wall.
Here, I stood erect on a steeply inclined walkway on the Wall.
Other mountains are famous for historical or scenic reasons. TaiShan (泰山) has always been recognized as a sacred mountain in China and emperors climbed it to make offerings to legitimize their mandate. This stairway up the side of the mountain is a vigorous climb, and most tourists take the aerial tram to the top nowadays. TaiShan only has mediocre sceneries, but its sunrise is credited as the first ray in China proper.
WuYi Mountain (武夷山) is an UNESCO site. But I found it to be less spectacular than I was led to expect.
When we visited YangShuo (阳朔), we found the Moon Hill (月亮山) with a hole under the hill top arch.
We climbed the hill and viewed the picturesque karst peaks, paddies, rivers and village houses below.
Our favorite inn in all of China is the YangShuo Mountain Retreat by the Dragon River. The remoteness, classical Guilin sceneries, karst peaks, and the flowing water make this an ideal place to retreat for a week.
The Taroko Gorge of Taiwan is in an earthquake zone and landslides are frequent. The unstable ground produces a rough and beautiful landscape, if somewhat scary.
The highway cuts through the rocks of Taroko Gorge with only a few feet of space in between walls.
When we visited JiuZhaiGuo (九寨沟) in late autumn, we climbed the mountainside of HuangLong (黄龙) to view the calcified pools and water falls. We were caught in a sudden snow storm and were gifted with this photo of a perfect winter wonderland.
My sneakers’ soles were very slippery on snow covered wooden planks. We risked broken bones and gingerly walked down the mountainside.
When we visited the Zion National Park in the US, we saw three rock climbers hanging onto the side of a sheer cliff. It took them three days to complete the climb, obliging them to sleep hanging on the cliffside.
The mountain showed us its angry side. This cliff of Zion National Park had a thunderous landslide, stirring up dust clouds. The fallen rocks are eventually carried away by the river at the bottom and the canyon expands and grows.
One of the most memorable mountain trips was to Machu Picchu in Peru. True to its reputation, the massive stone buildings perched on a lonely peak evokes the strongest sense of wonder. How much man power and time were spent to build this city and why did the Incas build this city in the clouds?
Some mountains in China deserve their reputation for awe-inspiring sceneries.
ZhangJiaJie (张家界) inspired the dream-like sceneries of the movie Avatar. To reach the mountain tops, a long aerial tram takes the tourist through slender pillars of rocks. We felt like the creatures flying through floating mountains in the movie Avatar.
A tall elevator takes tourists to the top of the mountains. Incensed by this elevator intruding on the pristine state, UNESCO threatened to withdraw its designation as a World Heritage site.
The slender pillars are composed of horizontal layers of rocks. The eroded flat tops reflect sun light and form shiny oval mirrors.
WuDang Mountain (武当山) is the sacred mountain of Taoism (道教). Many elaborate Taoist temples were built under the Ming emperor’s patronage at great expense. The Golden Hall (金殿) is a bronze building carried up and assembled on the peak of WuDang Mountain.
WuDang Mountain is the fountainhead of taichi (太极拳) martial arts, just as Shaolin temple (少林寺) is the fountainhead of the “hard” school of kungfu. Here, a Taoist monk master teaches his students.
Another mountain I recommend it HunagShan (黄山). Its sea of clouds, HunagShan pines, precipitous peaks, and ever changing sceneries make it the inspiration of Chinese painters. A visit to HuangShan would convince the skeptic that ethereal sceneries of Chinese paintings are real.
Sally hangs on for dear life to peek over the chains into the abyss of a cliff.
The most scary mountain, in my opinion, is HuaShan (华山). Tourists gingerly walk up the narrow Black Dragon Ridge with thousand feet drops on both sides. Legend has it one famous poet became petrified on the ridge (without chain barriers), threw away his belongings, hugged the ridge and wailed. He had to be rescued by a brave soul.
When I walked the ridge, I saw the shadow of climbers on the cliff across the deep gully.
Although I did not venture to the most scary trail of HuaShan, its reputation sends chills down my spine. Here, tourists crawl against the cliff wall, walking on wooden planks thousands of feet above the ground below. To keep tourist deaths to a minimum, tourists wear harnesses nowadays and hook onto the cable at waist level.
My most favorite mountain is the Victoria Peak of Hong Kong. Two thousand feet above the concrete jungle, the view from the peak is stunning in all times of the day. The ever rising sky scrapers threaten to obscure the peak from sea level, and upset Hong Kongers to no end.
An intrepid photographer goes out on a limb to catch the most exciting picture of the city.
Impending doom threatens Hong Kong as a storm descends.
The most spectacular view of Hong Kong is at night when the multi colored lights of buildings light up the city. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful city view in the world.

As I was rummaging through my closet, I came across Echkart Tolle’s first book “The Power of Now”. Tolle states that every minute you spend worrying about the future or regretting the past is a minute lost because all you have is the present moment.
The book provides great insights into being present, mindful, cultivating peace within, and accepting what is. The timing of finding this book couldn’t have come sooner.
The only significant time is the one we think about the least; the present. Everything we do, feel, and sense all takes place in The Now. When you think about, the past is nothing more than all present moments that have gone by and the future is just the collection of current moments waiting to arrive.
I’ve heard it said that the only pain you suffer is the one you create yourself. I tend to agree with this statement. Tolle says when we worry, what we are doing is projecting our mind out into the future; worrying about what hasn’t come and usually most of it never happens. It can be one of many factors that can cause anxiety.
Living in the NOW enables you to relish every little sensation and emotion of the moment entirely. So, clear your mind of useless distractions. With a clear head, free yourself from worries about the past and future. You’ll see beyond the surface of things and discover and appreciate their inherent worth and beauty.
Journeyer’s remember to focus on the joys, blessings, and opportunities of each day of your life.
Hey Josh. Glad you liked the post. Wow! This book made a huge impact on you…and so many others. Bravo.
I think it is the same one. We don’t get Oprah on TV in Scotland unfortunately. ☹ But I recommend watching the webinar series along with reading the book – (A New Earth). Just not as the same time obviously! A gem of a blog post Bernice.
I like how you explain life as a series of present moments.
Thanks Dave. A big hug. Hope all is well with you.
I am also a huge fan of Eckhart Tolle.
Have you seen the webinar series on youtube with Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey?
Thanks D! If you’re referring to a series that aired a number of years ago – then yes.
I am so thrilled to have come across this post today. I just returned from the library with the book, The Power of Now, and somehow found your post today………I realize this can’t be a coincidence and now I am going to be sure to read it. Thank you!
oh my goodness, yes! thank YOU!
The curious thing is have you noticed you can’t actually BE in the past or BE in the future, but you know of thoughts about a past or future.
I love this author too. Good to hear from you. I think of you and hope you are well.
Great advice!!! Love Tolle books! Thanks for sharing!
A beautiful book written by Ekhart Tolle and you have written this piece so well. Inspiring and encouraging post, Bernice. Thanks for the share.
Echkart Tolle’s words always ring true as if anew, always help us rest into the peace of the moment. Your post is a very useful reminder of how we create each one of our experiences from moment to moment.
Thank you! He’s awakened so many people with his teachings.
You are welcome! True, it was transforming for me when I first read the book.
We are energy, and as energy we decide where that energy goes. If it goes into the past, it is wasted. If it goes into the future, it creates the future we envision. If we focus it in the now, on every possible positive thing we can come up with, it enriches us and every soul we come in contact with. I say, let the energy be strong and pure, and used in the place where it will do well for all.
Great comment. I’d be interested to know your thoughts on chronic fatigue and lack of energy.
Chronic refers to a condition that is persistent and long-lasting. Fatigue is lack of energy. I hate to state the obvious, but there you have it.
When one lacks energy, one has to go to where energy comes from. Generally we have been outfitted with enough life force to last 70-80 years on average. Chronic fatigue would indicate that life force is being drained at an increased rate. But where is it going? How does soul energy get siphoned off?
There are many ways, and I probably cannot list them all here, but rather just point in a direction and let the rest be your own self-discovery.
We are spiritual beings at our core. Worry can sap us of energy. There are things inside of us like this and/or lack of some basic nutrient that often causes a siphon or blockage of the life force. This is a case of balancing the energies.
Beyond that it gets more spiritual and complicated. Other souls around us can be energy vampires, especially if they stress us and cause us to worry. It is not uncommon for some people to put others through childhood trauma and then steal their life force through that trauma for the rest of their years. In a like manner, belief in false doctrine can have a similar effect. In this case we need to restore the energies or the lifeline to them.
The best I can do in this comment section is point you in a direction. The pointers above are general but can lead you to more specifics.
In the end, Source is where our energy comes from. Reunite with, or break the blockages between you and Source, and there is plenty of energy. There should be energy to spare. Hope this helps.
Thank you, it was really generous of you to compile such a detailed and interesting response. My curiosity has been stirred and I’m eager to learn more.
Marie- you can be a sensitive person and therefore, as he pointed out, someone in your household is draining you of your energy and he/she is unaware of it; stuck energy; adrenals are being affected, etc. In July, when I have more time, reach out to me. If ur interested I’ll perform an energy healing for you free of charge. I’ll just need a photo and full name. I’m a Reiki master; energy healer/practitioner w/ various modalities.
Thank you so much Bernice, this is what I love about WordPress, the sense of community and generosity of spirit. Your offer is very kind. I will stay in touch! I hope your life transition is coming about as it’s meant to.
If you walk about living only in The Now, you will find you bump into things.
I have read it six months ago.. Even “Stillness speaks” is an amazing book..
I haven’t heard of this book. Thanks for the tip.
Yeah ! that will help..

The GIG Karasek Short Path Evaporator offers a particularly wide range of services in spare evaporation technology for delicate fabrics. The spectrum of special apparatus reaches from high evaporation to fine vacuum distillation at pressures up to 0.001 mbar. It is based on the same powerful principle as that of the Thin Film Evaporator. The subtle difference lies in the built-in capacitor of Short Path Evaporator, which leads to an even shorter and more gentle evaporation process and greatly minimizes the path of the vapors to the condenser.
The short-path evaporator works on the same high-performance principle as the thin-film evaporator. The difference is that it has an integrated capacitor. As a result, the path of the vapors to the condenser is extremely short.

Super excited to host this workshop!
We've had a few people ask us to do one but hadn't quite found the right people to work with until now!
In this workshop, you will get hands-on experience in making your own tofu from scratch.
Why is this class called zero waste? That's because we will also use the excess pulp from making the soy milk into something delicious we can eat! Nothing goes to waste!
For those eco-worriers out there you'll also get to have tofu without buying it in big plastic tubs!
Once we've made the tofu we will learn about okara and what we can do with it.
Alongside this, we will also learn about 'yuba' and have a go at making this too. ( Yuba is a thin layer of skin that is created when you boil soy milk.) This is delicious eaten with simple wasabi and soy sauce.
Followed by family-style lunch of Okara salad, another dish using okara, miso soup, and rice.

Making your own breads, granola bars, cookies, and other baked goods not only means you have a more delicious and healthier product, but you are saving money as well. Since it’s my goal to squeeze every penny I can from the grocery budget, I buy base baking supplies in bulk. Let’s do a general price comparison.
Finally, the perfect glass cleaner. I have tried different concoctions, none of them working quite as well as Windex. This recipe is better than Windex, and it’s non-toxic and super-duper cheap. The cornstarch is a curious ingredient, but it prevents streaking. Heat your water in the microwave or stove for a couple of minutes, so the cornstarch will dissolve. I’ve ruined so many spray bottles because my experiments have clogged the spray bottle because my ingredients were not totally dissolved.
Heat water until very hot, not just warm. Stir in cornstarch, and mix until dissolved. Add the rest of ingredients, stir, and pour in spray bottle. Go clean your mirrors!

If your wife has a birthday coming up and you want to surprise her with something unique, you might want to consider giving her a moonstone. This stone, which is generally white in color, has a beautiful shimmer to it, making it perfect for everything from bracelets to necklaces.
However, moonstones are also believed to have several metaphysical properties. Charms of Light, a gemstone information site, states that this stone is thought to represent new beginnings. If you and your spouse are starting a new chapter in your lives together, this can be the perfect birthday gift.
In addition to its beauty, the moonstone is associated with calmness and providing tranquility to those who hold it. If your wife is going through a challenging time, this might be an ideal present for her, whether it's in the form of earrings or a bracelet.
To make sure that you're up to speed on the metaphysical properties of the moonstone, consider contacting our psychic line. Through phone psychic readings, you can learn more about the traits of the moonstone as well as other gemstones your wife might have in her collection. Why not impress her with this knowledge on her birthday?

Hillenbrand is committed to providing a quality benefits package. As part of our vision to promote the highest level of health and financial well-being, we offer our associates and their families a comprehensive benefits program that gives flexibility to tailor benefits to the various stages of lives. We believe in providing options for our associates to Choose Well, Live Well.
We are committed to the health and wellness of our associates and are proud to be a tobacco-free workplace.
Supporting our commitment to promote associate wellness, Hillenbrand’s Health & Wellness Centers provide occupational health services for all associates – as well as primary care health services to local Batesville associates, Rotex Cincinnati associates and their dependents participating in one of our medical plans. The Centers also give participants access to a 24/7 nurse line and health coaches to assist with wellness goals. In addition, Hillenbrand families have access to the most convenient medical care and many generic prescriptions at no cost. Leading the way in wellness initiatives, our facilities serve as a model for other company campuses to replicate.
Our Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans offer a variety of deductible and coinsurance options. These plans allow participants to take advantage of a large network of medical providers offering their services at negotiated prices, as well as benefits offered for out-of-network services.
Our Consumer Choice plans are high-deductible plans that give participants greater control over the money they spend on healthcare. These plans are matched with a Health Savings Account (HSA), where the company contributes to a participant’s HSA based upon the selected level of coverage.
Prescription drug benefits are automatically included with enrollment in a medical plan option, and prescriptions may be purchased from retail pharmacies or through a mail-order program. A tobacco-free program is also included, providing prescription medications and over-the-counter treatments at no cost to participants.
Good dental care is an important part of healthcare coverage, which is why Hillenbrand offers a comprehensive dental plan to keep smiles healthy. Encouraging preventative dental care, while providing financial assistance toward the expense of major dental work, we offer a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan that includes a nationwide network of dentists.
Our vision plan provides participants with access to exams, lenses, frames, contact lenses and vision corrective procedures through a network of private-practice optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians and leading optical retailers.
A Medical Flexible Spending Account allows participants to set aside pre-tax dollars directly from a paycheck to pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses. All participants enrolled in one of our Medical PPO plans are eligible to participate.
For those enrolled in the Consumer Choice Plan, an HSA will be set up in your name. Hillenbrand will contribute to this account based on which coverage level is chosen. Our associates can also choose to contribute to this account to pay for qualified medical, dental and vision expenses.
Life insurance is crucial for protecting loved ones who count on us for support. Our company provides basic life insurance and accidental death & dismemberment insurance to associates, and they can also purchase additional supplemental life insurance for themselves, their spouse and eligible dependents.
For those who travel on company business, we provide additional accidental death and dismemberment insurance.
Income replacement is very important if one becomes disabled. To offer that critical protection, we provide a disability program.
The Savings Plans are designed to ensure our associates fully reach their retirement goals. Associates can save a percentage of their base pay (up to the annual legal limit) on a before-tax basis or through an after-tax Roth. We make two kinds of contributions: a specified contribution of your base pay, regardless of whether you save through the plan, and a specified matching contribution you save on the first 6% of pay. Participants are always 100% vested in their own savings and the non-elective company contributions.
We provide a vacation benefit to associates based upon years of service, along with 10 paid holidays each year.
Our Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account allows participants to set aside before-tax dollars directly from a paycheck to pay for eligible childcare expenses.
Our Adoption Assistance Flexible Spending Account allows participants to set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible adoption assistance expenses such as agency fees and legal and court fees.
An Employee Assistance Program is provided to associates and their dependents. This program provides assessment, action planning, crisis intervention assistance and short-term problem resolution, as well as assistance with financial and legal issues. It also provides access to publications, recordings and online resources on a variety of subjects.

Artists Carl and Sandra Bryant use tiny pieces of glass to create intricate mosaic works of art.
by Sandra Bryant, 2005, glass mosaic, 24 x 24. Collection the artist.
by Carl Bryant, 2006, glass mosaic, 30 x 24. Collection the artist.
To create their intricate mosaics, the artists use many types of glass—two of their favorite manufactures are Aura and Sicis. Sandra also purchases stained glass and glass cabochons—a gem created by melting pieces of glass together—to use in the mosaics. Although the couple estimates that they have 1,000 jars of glass in their studio, they put anything they like in mosaics—turquoise or coins—anything that they find, anything that inspires them. The artists follow the same philosophy when considering the palette for their pieces—“We tend to use a lot of red in our fine art work, but we really enjoy more muted palettes as well. It really depends upon the individual piece,” Sandra says. Regardless of their color choices, the artists generally work with more saturated colors because they produce more eye-catching mosaics.

Despite the couple’s love for the same creative process, their work is quite different. Carl’s mosaics tend to be more abstract, such as Gelato and Birth of a Planet, while Sandra focuses on landscapes and still lifes. In Gelato Carl’s use of different shades of red tile makes the more intricate yellow and green design stand out. The intricate details that make this mosaic so effective can also be seen in Sandra’s Flowers on the Table. “Most of our fine art projects have an average of 1,600 individually shaped pieces of glass per square foot,” explains the artists’ website. A close look at the flower stamens in Striped Wallpaper illustrates that even the smallest part of a flower is composed of many tiny pieces of glass that add a realistic quality to the mosaic. “Sometimes one flower in our garden will inspire a floral still life,” Sandra explains.
Carl clips glass to fill in the sides of an almost completed floral work. The preliminary pattern painting sits in the foreground. Sandra cleans the mosaic after it has been grouted and adhered to its permanent base. The mosaic is cleaned because the preliminary layer of grout on the back of the mosaic is never perfect. The final topcoat of grout is important for color corrections and for filling in tiny holes left over after the preliminary layer of grout.
Although the couple has only taken on one public mosaic mural, public art is something we are very interested in and would like to do more of. Installing the mosaic at the Lucille Umbarger Elementary School in, Burlington, Washington, was a challenge, but Sandra is anxious to take on similar projects because she enjoyed working with a community. Regardless of the type of mosaics the couple creates, Sandra reiterates that they continue to work with this medium for one simple reason—because it’s really fun.

These are the most exciting mosaics I’ve seen in a long time. I love the movement in them.
Beautifully done. What a good article.
I added the Bryant’s link to my blog, as well.
knew how and had the time.
you have any ideas about how we could do the mosaics but keep the feel of grout in between? I would appreciate any ideas you might have.

How science is helping company leaders and customers be better earth stewards.
As vice president and chief sustainability officer at 3M, Gayle Schueller ’87 leads the company to address customer needs in a way that advances environmental stewardship, social responsibility and economic success. Schueller aims to improve products, customer experiences, manufacturing and operations — and be a good steward to the earth and its people.
“I always knew I wanted make a difference through science,” said Schueller.
Schueller earned a doctorate in materials science from the University of Virginia after earning her bachelor’s degree in physics at Geneseo. She later joined 3M as a product development engineer in its corporate laboratory. Schueller said she was inspired by the influence a corporation has on how resources are used.
For more than 25 years, she has led technical and business teams in a range of markets at 3M, from electronics to healthcare to consumer industries, in Europe, Asia, Latin America and North America, including serving as CEO of 3M Mexico.
have committed to advancing goals that ensure environmental, social and economic well-being.
Schueller’s role at 3M is integral to fostering strategy and innovation to improve lives around the world and the footprint of both the 90,000+ employee company and its customers. The job has a lot of diversity. One example is collaborating with an international group of scientists, whose findings included identifying natural materials to replace plastics in Scotch-Brite scouring pads. The waste from agave plants used in tequila production in Mexico is now being utilized to make Scotch-Brite environmentally friendly. At the same time, additional income is provided for farm families.
Such innovation and collaboration is vital as we move forward, Schueller said.

We at Park are thrilled to partner with Dia Evtimova, champion tennis player who achieved the rank of WTA No. 145 in the world. We got the chance to speak with her about her career, her life, and her style.
Complete the sentence, "Because of tennis, I..."
...learned discipline, hard work ethics, resilience and patience, to convert losing into a learning experience, and most importantly, the feeling of having a dream and passion.
I also traveled to many different amazing places, meeting many people and experiencing different cultures.
What is on your tennis bucket list?
I am at a stage of my career where I want to feel fit and healthy and be able to compete at my best each tournament and enjoy that process. For this year, I am aiming to get back in top 200 and play the Grand Slams by the end of the season.
A usual practice day out of completion will be either in FL or in Munich for me.
Wake up around 8, followed by breakfast routine, 30 min warm up exercise, 2 hours tennis practice 2-3 hours,rest/lunch, sometimes a second short tennis training for 1/1.30 hours followed by fitness for 1.30 hours.
What is your competition style and how does Park accentuates it?
I would describe my tennis style as elegant, sporty chic, and classy, and Park is the ultimate match and finish to it.
It accentuates all that in a very special way and I enjoy changes my bags depending on my different trainings (tennis practice bag, fitness gag, competition bag, lifestyle tote).
You have succeeded at a number of high profile competitions.
For me, each practice is a mini competition with myself to get better. That transfers to me being in a competitive mode when the tournament comes. There are no big breaks in tennis and you have to keep and maintain that competitive focus during the year. When the tournament approaches, and in particular before matches, I would say I spend more time by myself.
What are some lessons you have learned so far?
Tough question, as I have learned quite a few, but perhaps most significant is when you have passion for something that helps you compile all the necessary skills to reach your goals/accomplishments, not give up and enjoy the process, even when its not going your way.
How do you improve your game?
I believe when we are open minded and passionate about something we find the ways.
What are some words of advise you can give to other tennis players that want to succeed in tennis?
Never ever let your feelings of losing matches drag down your dream and passion.
It’s ok to be disappoint, angry, frustrated, as all those feeling show a player /athlete really cares and wants to success.
I think tennis and life are like riding a bike.
As Einstein says : ‘To keep your balance you must keep moving’.

In today's business world reputation is everything when selling your goods or services to the masses at large. Goodwill, the inherent reputation of your goods or services, can easily overreach beyond the mere confides of countries, continents, or even the solar system. With this in mind, how far a business' goodwill can, and does, reach is hugely important, especially when it comes to someone passing off their goods or services as a famous brands' equivalents. What makes things even more complex is the nature of the online world we are all a part of, which has a wholly borderless reach (excluding geo-blocking), and in which anyone can pass themselves off as someone or something else without much difficulty. This begs the question: how far does your goodwill extend, even if you have no or very little presence in a given territory, due to your goodwill online? The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom endeavored to answer this question only a little over a month ago.
The case in question was Starbucks (HK) Limited and another v British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC and others, which concerned the use of IPTV, or in more simplistic terms, the streaming of TV via the Internet using dedicated hardware to do so, very much like cable TV but in an online environment. Starbucks (HK) and PCCW Media Ltd, two corporate members of a larger group (referred to as "PCCM" in the judgment as a whole), which operated an IPTV service called "NOW BROADBAND TV", subsequently renamed to "NOW TV", in Hong Kong, being the largest entity in its respective IPTV business in the country. Most of the channels offered through the NOW TV service are in Chinese, and are not accessible in the United Kingdom, although some people in the UK had been identified as being aware of the service. PCCM had since considered expanding internationally, and did so by launching a mobile app called NOW aimed at the Chinese-speaking population in the UK. Prior to the launching of the app in the same year Sky announced its "NOW TV" on-demand service, which went into its beta phase roughly at the same time as the launching of PCCM's mobile app. PCCM subsequently sued Sky under the tort of passing off (more on which can be found here), with the case ending up all the way in the Supreme Court.
Passing off, as has been noted in the article above, hinges on three factors that need to be established in order to prove the tort of passing off: (i) goodwill or reputation in the goods or services provided in the minds of the purchasing public; (ii) a misrepresentation by the defendant to the public that leads or is likely to lead, the public to think the goods or services are provided by the plaintiff; and (iii) the plaintiff suffers, or is likely to suffer, damage as a result of this misrepresentation. PCCM established the latter two requirements at first instances, and therefore the Supreme Court had to decide on whether Sky's service fulfilled the first requirement, amounting to passing off.
The main question therefore to the Supreme Court was whether PCCM had goodwill in the jurisdiction in question, in other words a customer base, meaning the UK. As the court stated, reiterating Lord Justice Oliver in Anheuser-Buch v Budejovicky Budvar NP, that goodwill is very much "localized" and that "...reputation which may, no doubt, and frequently does, exist without any supporting local business… does not by itself constitute a property which the law protects". In other words, even if goods or services have a certain, even strong reputation to them, does not mean it inherently commands it everywhere, irrespective of actual use or not. This line of thinking very much confirms precedent from decades prior, where similar conclusions have been made as to the localized nature of goodwill.
After a presentation as to the law from both sides the Court finally discussed its decision on whether passing off, or goodwill, has a territorial nature to it. As Lord Neuberger remarked: "...I consider that we should reaffirm that the law is that a claimant in a passing off claim must establish that it has actual goodwill in this jurisdiction, and that such goodwill involves the presence of clients or customers in the jurisdiction for the products or services in question. And, where the claimant's business is abroad, people who are in the jurisdiction, but who are not customers of the claimant in the jurisdiction, will not do, even if they are customers of the claimant when they go abroad". To put Lord Neuberger's argument in different words, goodwill can only exist in a jurisdiction if its goods or services are used by actual customers in that jurisdiction, irrespective of foreign users who have emigrated or visit that jurisdiction (although, one would imagine, given a sufficient amount of immigrants this would be acceptable). As said, this is fully in line with older precedent, and also foreign authorities within the common law, as was put forth by Sky in its argument. PCCM had very little presence in the UK, although it did establish some user base did exist.
Finally, Lord Neuberger aimed to settle two questions that remained: "(i) clarification as to what constitutes sufficient business to give rise to goodwill as a matter of principle, and (ii) resolution of the judicial disagreement as to the jurisdictional division of goodwill".
In answering the first question Lord Neuberger quickly settled the matter by largely stating what has already been settled above: "The claimant must show that it has a significant goodwill, in the form of customers, in the jurisdiction, but it is not necessary that the claimant actually has an establishment or office in this country. In order to establish goodwill, the claimant must have customers within the jurisdiction, as opposed to people in the jurisdiction who happen to be customers elsewhere. Thus, where the claimant's business is carried on abroad, it is not enough for a claimant to show that there are people in this jurisdiction who happen to be its customers when they are abroad. However, it could be enough if the claimant could show that there were people in this jurisdiction who, by booking with, or purchasing from, an entity in this country, obtained the right to receive the claimant's service abroad.". Lord Neuberger's answer to the first question further establishes that a business has to have some form of customer base in a jurisdiction it wishes to protect its intellectual property in that jurisdiction, and that business would have to be, mostly at least, permanent in that jurisdiction, rather than just transient.
The answer to the second question leads to a much wider discussion than can be settled in this blog post, and merits reading in its own rights by those who might be interested. What needs to be said, however, is that Lord Diplock's comments in Star Industrial Co Ltd v Yap Kwee Kor further support Lord Neuberger's conclusions and highlight the distinction between goodwill in different jurisdictions through the existence of separation of judiciaries; i.e. not one court can decide an issue of a foreign court. Allowing for territorial overlap would let businesses simply claim a right in a name in another jurisdiction with a minimal presence, thus restricting business and trade for legitimate entities in that jurisdiction.
Ultimately the Supreme Court dismissed PCCM's appeal, and concluded that their claim in "NOW TV" had no basis in the UK, as they did not have the requisite consuming public in the UK for their service to merit protection under passing off.
This case is an interesting one, and although one could say the decision is very much a common sense approach, it still does answer some question relating to goodwill, especially in a digital age where the Internet permeates nearly every part of the globe. Businesses have to have a legitimate business presence in a given country in the form of a customer base, even in this digital age.

It’s a crude and misleading line of reasoning to declare that Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood can’t be committed to democracy because it is an Islamist organisation much like al-Qaida and Hezbollah. On what basis do we label individuals or groups 'Islamist'? Or 'fundamentalist'? Or 'extremist'? How can we have a monolith amongst a set of congregations making up almost one quarter of the world's human population? The history and politics of Islam is just as complex as that of Christianity.
A Rabbi informs Joseph that although he has been circumcised and celebrated his Bah Mitzvah, the revelations about his biological origins mean he must undergo 'cleansing' rituals to be accepted as a Jew. Religious institutions err when they elevate legalism over human need. In this instance the institution is found wanting.

Kerin Awarded Howard Foundation Fellowship She is one of eight applicants to receive a $33,000 grant.
Melissa Kerin, associate professor of art history at Washington and Lee, is a recipient of this year’s fellowship from the Howard Foundation. Kerin is one of eight applicants to receive a $33,000 grant.
For the last several years, Kerin has worked on her book “Bodies of Offerings: The Materiality and Vitality of Tibetan Shrines.” Kerin will document and analyze Buddhist shrines in the Tibetan cultural zone — Tibet, India and Nepal — which she believes to be complex constructions that respond to, and reflect, many socio-religious environs. If variations among shrines demonstrate dynamic engagement between a devotee and religious objects, then that might reveal new information about the popular religious practice.
The Howard Foundation has a rotation of five art historical and critical studies topics, such as literary, history and film. The fellowships provide artists, scholars and writers with time to complete their work.

Returning your leased vehicle. At the end of the contract, your vehicle will be returned to the leasing company and assessed to determine whether the vehicle meets the agreed returned condition.
Fair wear and tear can occur when normal usage causes deterioration to a vehicle. It is not to be confused with damage which occurs as a result of a specific event or series of events such as impact, inappropriate stowing of items, harsh-treatment, negligent acts or omissions.
All leasing companies in membership are obliged under the BVRLA Code of Conduct to trade fairly and responsibly in all dealings with their customers. End-of-lease charges reflect the loss of value in the vehicle to the leasing company when it is returned in a poorer condition than originally contracted and/or achieves a decrease in value as a result of a failure to use, maintain and look after the vehicle and its equipment. The leasing company will not necessarily carry out any damage repair or refurbishment prior to selling the vehicle.
Understand the standard - You can request a copy of the BVRLA industry standard through your leasing company. Alternatively, you can order a hard copy direct for a small charge (download order form here).
Crouch or kneel down at the front and rear of the vehicle and look along the body line on each side. This will help you see scratches and dents that may otherwise be difficult to spot.
Gain an understanding of the collection procedures - At the end of the lease, when the vehicle is to be collected, a representative from the leasing company must check and agree on the vehicle condition. All readily apparent damage to the vehicle will be noted on the vehicle collection sheet or hand-held device. You as the consumer need to ensure you are happy with the inspection and ask for clarity where necessary.
In the event of a dispute about the condition or damage to the vehicle, customers have the right to pay for an examination of the evidence by an independent qualified engineer, e.g an engineer who is unrelated to the original inspection and agreed by both parties. The engineer's decision will be binding on both the customer and the BVRLA member. If the engineer finds in the customer's favour, the BVRLA member will refund the reasonable cost of the examination to the customer.
On occasion, disagreements will arise between customers and BVRLA members which cannot be settled directly. Unresolved disputes can be referred to the Association by the customer and/or the member involved. More information on the BVRLA's conciliation service is available here.
For more information give us a call on 01634 687070 or alternatively you can call the BVRLA on 01494 434747 or email info@bvrla.co.uk.

The complexities that people will use to swindle others out of their money or other possessions are rather amazing . . .
I had applied for a job and received what seemed like a creditable email from the employer’s Human Resources division. I checked out the company, ONC Computers Limited, finding a reasonable looking web site. I also searched for ONC Job Scams, but could not find anything. Feeling that the company may be legit I responded to the email, which arranged an interview via Instant Messaging the following day. I made the necessary IM connection at the appointed time, where I was asked a series of seemingly logical interview questions. I was then informed, in limited fashion, what the job entailed and given the opportunity to begin a training session the following day, also conducted via IM.
On the training day during the IM session, I was asked to perform some tasks which consisted of searching out a well-known company on a government web site and perform various mathematics with the figures that were reported. This seemed straightforward, testing to see if individuals can read reports and spreadsheets and perform some math functions. I was then informed that some money would be sent to me for the purchase of software and a few pieces of office equipment that the company required.
The next morning a FedEx courier arrived with an overnighted cashier’s check for over two-thousand dollars. I had little wary feelings all along, but this set off a general alarm.
I had originally written out all the warning signs I saw, but I have decided to redact them. I do not want to give other no-goods any tips on how to improve their scams.
I decided to listen to the alarm in my brain. I went to the bank as instructed, but instead of depositing the check I asked the cashier if they could verify it. The cashier called the bank indicated on the very official looking cashier’s check. The drafting bank had no record of the check number. That cannot happen with a cashier’s check.
I sent an email to the Human Resources contact, telling them about the old saying, ‘If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.’ I believe the goal was to give me a feeling that the money was in my account and have me make purchases at fake vendors the following day. Then, a few days later when the bogus check bounced back, I would be left holding the bag on my overdrafts while the bad guys would be rolling in money.
Be careful out there. Watch out for a company called ONC Computers, LTD.

I operate a service business from home.
I have a google places page verified. However, when I went to upgrade to a google+ local page -> I entered my PIN and google+ listing and it was pending for weeks.
I contacted google and they said because I am a service company with no physical storefront I needed to get google places page and hide address (as most of you already know about this change).
BUT this seems like it is in relation to google+. I have seen some google+ pages rank in the "7 pack" google local maps. However, I have never seen a google places page rank.
Can a google places page rank or do you need a google+ page?
Seeing as a google+ page is likely much stronger. Any advice on how to get a google+ page for a business that operates out of its home and services areas around it..??
I am ok with posting my address. However, will google still require me to use places instead of +local and hide my address. OR is using my home address vs UPS Po box enough to grant me/get pass google and get me a google + page?
Any options for a home business to get a google+ page?
I only have time for a quick response. Google has come right out and said that hiding your address in your Google Places account has no impact on ranking.
I see G+ Local pages with hidden addresses ranking in the 7-pack all the time.
Seeing as a google+ page is likely much stronger. Any advice on how to get a google+ page for a business that operates out of its home and services areas around it..?
Hi Blake Colan is totally correct.
Plus I think there may be some confusion with your comments above or names of pages.
Place pages (now also called Google+ Local pages) are the ONLY ones that rank in search. Google+ page do not even show up in search at all unless they are verified and merged with Place pages. And Google recommends no one nerge that right now, not even store fronts.
I'm consulting for a Dentist who's unclaimed bare Place page outranks his verified G+ business page right now. So it's not that G+ merged page always rank higher.
Set your location to San Marcos Ca and Google plumber san marcos ca. You'll see that #1, #3 and #4 all have Place pages with address hidden.
The biggest thing about ranking high with the current local algo does not even have to do with the Place page (although it needs to optimized well and no violations). The algo is much more about on-site SEO factors these days, so if you are not ranking high I'd focus there as well.
Colan and Linda. Thank you very much for your responses. I look forward to being part of this community and adding as much as I can espcially as I learn more.
Place pages (now also called Google+ Local pages) are the ONLY ones that rank in search.
Sorry, think I meant to say Google+ Local vs just Google+ above.
I am still a little confused about what a Google Places page is and what a Google+ Local page is.
Is a Google Places page different than a Google+ Local page?
Sorry for the amateur questions. Thanks again!
Blake, not an amateur question at all. Google confused everyone, even some pros.
"I am still a little confused about what a Google Places page is and what a Google+ Local page is.
Is a Google Places page different than a Google+ Local page?"
Same thing - different names. The dashboard or business owner entrance is still called Places. They just renamed the public facing page consumers see and it's now called Google+ Local.
The link you provided does not work for us. Only for you when logged into your account. You need to find your live page and give us link to that, not to the dashboard. Or just give us your phone # or web site and we can find it and double check it.
That post is very helpful - nice work. I believe I have a verified google+ local page.
However, when I click view page or "see your listing on Google" from locations it tells me "we currently do not support this location."
How can I view my page as someone else would? How can I get the proper address so that I may post it here?
As I do citations and spend a lot of time trying to optimize my local page I just want to make sure I have the right page and am not wasting my all my time!
Just give us your phone #, business name and city or web site and we can find it and double check it.
However sometimes if you get the do not support location message it's because Google deleted the page. Hopefully that's not the case. Provide info above and we'll check for you.
Thanks! Yeah, hopefully not cause its deleted.....!
Blake I'm sorry but I'm not finding a listing for you at all. Looks like it was removed.
That is not good. It says my listing is "active" under my Dashboard.
If you'd be willing you can even log in to my account to check it out. I have put a temporary password for next day or so.
I have hid my address, do not have a city or anything in my name. Legit description, no keyword stuffing or anything. Says I am active? hmmm.
Only thing I noticed was I had location listed and nothing listed. I have changed that to a radius from my zip code.
Sorry Blake had to delete your email and password. Not safe to list it on the web anywhere.
I don't log into accounts here and can't go that deep. But can tell you after dealing with thousands of deleted listings - it will show as active in your account. If you click the link you will get the do not support location message. If you search for it on maps by phone and by name + citiy and it's not there - then it's been deleted.
Ok, thanks for your help. Best thing to do is cancel and start a new listing?
No that will not work. Tons have tried it and once they delete your listing they won't let a new listing go live.
You need to follow the instructions at the link I gave you in post #9. It's the only option.

BadAss: Paragons and Renegades --- BADASS IS BACK BABY!
1. recruiting BadAss: Paragons and Renegades --- BADASS IS BACK BABY!
By pu_freak, February 13 in Recruit & Collaborate!
It's time for BadAss to return!
David L. Puga and I return to direct BadAss: Paragons and Renegades (title may change). But this isn't your "regular" BadAss; this time the heroes get the spotlight! From the grittiest anti-heroes to the most determined heroes, it's time for the protagonists to show us what they've got! The album itself will have genre restrictions like previous BadAss albums, but with a twist: there's one 'Paragons' disc (mainly directed by me) and one 'Renegades' disc (mainly directed by David), each with a different genre. So let's see who wins while still being a BadAss doing it!
The Paragon disc is about adventure, determination and courage. Think of the Chrono Trigger theme, "Flameheart"by Two Steps From Hell (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQMpRWuT6hk), and the 'X-Training' theme from X-Men First Class (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUCA6w0Zz-k) but it is certainly not limited by orchestral. Rock themes like the 80s/90s cartoons and shows (Biker Mice from Mars, Power Rangers or Airwolf) are also good examples and electronic music is certainly appreciated as well! Base line: getting you pumped up and ready for adventure! Make sure to send me an example of the vibe you're going for to check if it fits the album!
The Renegade disc is more "regular" BadAss style, especially BadAss II. In other words, not the big epic or symphonic rock from BadAss 3 (which is perhaps better suited for the Paragon disc), but raw and gritty is the name of the game and rock and dark electronic music will be the go-to style here. We want to show the world that protagonists can be at least as BadAss as the bosses, so let their inner darkness out on this side of the album! For references (and awesome music), check out BadAss 2. Be sure to check in with David if you want to make a mix for this disc!
More details will follow, but we're aiming for about 20 tracks (balanced between the discs) and we want to complete this in about a year (BadAss 3 took 14 months to be sent to eval, so let's see if we can do it in 12 this time around!). And suffice to say, only (anti-)hero themes are eligible this time around! Are you going to be part of the next BadAss album? Let's see if you've got what it takes!
What tracks can I pick as a source?
Tracks that are indicative of a hero/protagonist (we've added a list of suggestions below). Please discuss your source with the project staff!
No, please look at the info above which genres are allowed. In short, the Paragon disc allows heroic and adventurous genres while the Renegades disc allows raw and gritty genres.
What is the project deadline?
It's not yet set in stone, but expect the WIP cut-off date (only finished arrangements WIPs allowed after that point) around September and the final cut-off date at the end of the year.
What are the WIP deadlines?
Everybody has their own deadlines. We expect an update every month (established mixers get two months). If you miss one without a good reason, you're off the official project tracklist. You can get back on it if you send a new version of course, but we won't delay the release of the album if we don't hear from you.
How can I claim a track?
Send us a WIP (through Dropbox or Google Drive for instance, but always in a PM) and if we like it, you're in! Just be sure to send us updates every month, otherwise someone else will be able to take your source.
Do you have private project forums?
Yes we do, you'll get invited if we approve of your first WIP.
What quality are you going for?
OCR quality - not only do we need to pass eval, but BadAss 3 had 60% (12 of the 20 tracks) approved for the front page. So let's see if we can do even better! In any case, expect a high bar and a lot of feedback from us.
Do you have some examples of (Anti)hero themes?
Conker - Windy & Co.
Very interesting concept this time around!
So, have you already decided which disc you want to be a part of?
In other news: @timaeus222 and @Chernabogue will be joining again as assistant directors! Welcome back guys!
I'm probably game for this but might take a while to get a claim in - gotta clear the backlog a bit first and find myself a nice protagonist.
Edit: I'm also taking the Zelda main theme, intend it to go in Paragons.
Do we need to send one of you a demo first?
Edit Edit: Also will there be a Discord?
I'll throw in for this. I've been looking for an opportunity to work on an album track! I have an idea for a rock version of the SR388 Surface theme from Metroid II that I think will work.
Isn't the whole point of this album to pick (main) character themes rather than area themes? Or am I misunderstanding?
That's a good question. I reread the description and now I'm not sure. I focused on the line, "Base line: getting you pumped up and ready for adventure!"
I'd say you can go with an area theme if it's indicative of a hero. I'd still want the main hero theme somewhere in it, so, maybe like a combo. Like, for instance, Turok 2 has a main theme, but you could do port of Adia pretty easy since it references the main theme.
Yeah show us a demo of your genre/style (or an example from another song you intend to mimic) to make sure if its eligible! And there won't be a discord, but we do have our own project forums.
As for @heymagurany's question: like David (The Joker) said, an area theme is acceptable as long as it's closely linked to a certain hero (think Zelda overworld theme). A Metroid area theme does not follow this, however, so the SR388 Surface theme is not eligible for this album. Like I posted in the OP (in bold) we're shooting for (anti)hero themes!
Count me in! I'll start looking through some songs and see which one feels right.
There is no Anti hero, that's just wordplay. The Hero's theme is the main point we're sticking to here, whether they be superheroic or an anti hero doesn't matter so much as that they're the main protagonist. Any hero theme, whether it be the main theme to a series (Ezio's Family from Assassin's Creed), a specific character's theme from a game (Shieks Theme from Ocarina of Time, though Zelda's Lullaby would work), or a level theme that references the main theme (The Guardian's Theme from Darksiders 2 since it's just a rearrangement of the main titles).
Thanks for the clarification, @pu_freak and @The Joker. I have a couple ideas that may work.
Does...Simon Belmont's theme from CV4 count?? I could do that one pretty well. Probably.
Yeah it sure does! Are you going for the Paragon or Renegade disc?
lead into - original outro?
Sounds good and the genre you have in mind sound good too! Can't wait to receive a first WIP from you so we can officially welcome you to the album!
Would "Riku Theme" (Kingdom Hearts 2) be okay. He's either an antihero or a hero with dark powers depending on the game and/or who you ask. He's certainly a Badass and one of the protagonist's biggest allies and friends. I've always been fond of the character. I feel his theme is real dramatic and would be perfect for an album like this.
I'd say Riku fits the hero designation!
And Any Belmont counts in my opinion!
Hi Joker! I posted a source list/times of each source above, updating it as I complete each section, might actually get a demo done tonight.
of course it won't be the final final product but it's gonna be basically what eventually I have in mind.
But I guess those can be fixed later.

That’s what glared at me from the monitor of my brother’s PC on friday. It pretty much means that Windows XP is unable to communicate with the filesystem, because this file has become corrupted or was deleted. Now, unlike an actual filesystem corruption where the table that tells Windows where the files are located becomes corrupted, this isn’t too bad a problem. The simple solution is to boot from the XP CD, get into the XP repair console, and copy a good version of that file from the CD to Windows.
Seriously, just take your PC outside now and then, open it up and blow it out with lung power or compressed air. It’s usually a good idea to turn your head away unless you want a faceful of VERY fine dust.
Lillian came over yesterday and we attempted Portal. Too bad she left before the game was finished so she’ll never know about the cake ahahahahaha. I finished it later in the evening; I think I went to bed at 4:00 am. While it was was a bit short, the concept was absolutely mind-bending. With an expansion pack and community maps, the game will do just fine.
Also, Team Fortress 2 is as good as it was hyped up to be. We (Lil and I) played that one a bit too. That’s right, I actually played online (it’s a rare event) and who knows? I might continue to do so, if only for TF2. It’s actually quite fun. THe problem with older games like Quake 3 or Classic UT is that the only people playing online are serious clan members and cheaters. Joining a net game usually means you’re gonna get pummeled so it’s just not fun.
And cut! Break is done, back to my studies. @$$@%$#@!**@!!$ midterms next week. À Bientôt!

A Waterford bicycle user who participated in the making of a Road Safety Authority video designed to highlight the danger of “blind spots” which can’t be seen by truck drivers says the video was faked.
He had replied to an advert posted on the Waterford Institute of Technology Facebook page and reposted on the student union page. He contacted IrishCycle.com after a large number of commenters on the Road Safety Authority (RSA) Facebook page said that the video was edited or “faked”.
The video has been viewed 118,760 times on Facebook, where the RSA has advertised the video, and around 2,000 times on YouTube.
BLIND SPOTS ARE REAL: This still from an older video shows red areas which are known ‘blind spots’ in trucks — as the cabs of larger trucks turn the blind spots are enlarged.
“I took part in the most recent RSA video with the truck and the cyclists and the claims [that the video was faked] are right if you would like an insight,” said Eoghan Patrick O’Hara.
The RSA video starts with the camera in driver-seat of the cab of a HGV truck, the camera looks to empty mirrors on the left hand side of the truck, before the camera person gets out of the truck and walks around to see a number of people on bicycles who were not visible in the truck’s mirrors. The video is designed to be a copy of similar video made for Transport for London.
However, with the RSA video it is claimed that the people placed at the side of the truck should have been at least partly visible in the truck’s smaller, wide-angled mirror. This is backed by the location of the RSA logo on the truck and horizontal markers on the ground behind the truck.
The RSA has denied that the video was faked.
The comments of the RSA’s official Facebook page have gone unchallenged by the RSA — with no engagement by the authority with commenters.
It still amazes me that vehicles like those trucks, are so badly designed that they would have such big blind spots, how could they possible be legal to drive on the roads.
[RSA:] Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
This is the same problem the 80s anti drug campaign adverts had. They might have a good point (and taking care around HGVs is an extremely good point) but when one aspect of your campaign is an obvious lie then the entire thing is discredited.
Personally I would not be at all surprised to discover that the mirrors are set up deliberately badly in the well known “sit in a HGV and see how useless their mirrors are” event.
The main problem with wing mirrors is how little attention motorists pay to them. An eye flicker of a few microseconds designed to check for cars may not be enough to notice a cyclists even if they can be seen. Pointing this out wouldn’t lump all the blame on the cyclists though so it’s not as useful.
There are some better New Trucks out there who have more glass Panels and the Cabs are made closer to the ground but nobody has bought them yet because of the cost. There was a Derogation from the EU of fifteen years before they would have to use more safer Trucks. I have heard this derogation has passed and yet nobody has started using the new safer Trucks. Is there information on these Trucks out there, when will they be phased in does anyone know.
I hate those big Trucks still encounter them on the Malahide Road going into and from the Docks area. There is a few extra big ones like TKMAX and also Car Transporters. Worst time is heading home along the Malahide Road from the City where the Road is narrow opposite Kavanaghs and you encounter big HGVs.
John, I never cycle that stretch, always preferring to divert through Marino on quite residential streets. There’s is just not enough space for safe cycling there.
So, the cyclist who messaged you said that they moved from the actual blind spot to the ‘fake’ blindspot. To leave the cyclist over by the fence would have proved the same point with out the backlash.
I presume the greater proximity to the truck looked more striking, and more clearly dangerous.
The expediency of moving the cyclists has ultimately probably reduced the impact of the video, but the denial really insults everyone’s intelligence, and is made worse by sanctimonious scolding.
So, McDonald’s customers don’t really smile while eating their burgers, women don’t experience actual orgasms while shampooing… Even if the blind spot angle changed a bit in the editing stages, what matters, surely, is the safety message.
Well, if the blind spot angle isn’t all that important, why deny they changed the position of the cyclists?
Also, it does change the safety message, although it is to a message the RSA are equally comfortable with: cyclists are actually invisible, at all times.
They should remake the video in an urban environment with the truck cutting across a cycle lane painted on the road. They could also highlight the blind area to the front of the cab. I suspect part of the problem was that they insisted that the mirrors be adjusted to perfection as it was an RSA branded truck.
was this all done by the PR department? or what technical staff do they have involvedin these things?

The main question that my project intends to answer is from a Critical Race Theory perspective, what role if any, Black Twitter plays in the construction and performance of identity and representation among Black London-based non-African American Twitter user?
How do the research participants define Black Twitter?
How do the research participants engage (if at all) with Black Twitter?
I will be conducting face-to-face interviews with 30 or so individuals between now and 11th July 2014. I will also be undertaking a digital ethnographical study of participant tweets and twitter biographies.
Self-identify as Black in accordance with the classification provided by the UK 2011 Census. This classification includes those who self-identify as “Black/African/Caribbean/Black British or Any other Black/African/Caribbean background” (ONS, 2011).
I am very excited about this stage and I can’t wait to start learning more about race, Twitter and identity. If you are interested in taking part and/or know anyone who would be interested in taking part then please either leave a comment below (be sure include your email) or drop me an email.
My dissertation proposal has finally been submitted, supervisor and advisor allocated and now just waiting for feedback – so of course I expect some of the things I post below to change but so far this is what I am working with.
My working title is “Black Twitter” – A Critical Race Approach to Exploring Race and Racism Online.
Why Black Twitter/Where is White Twitter?: By framing Twitter as a racialised/White place I am interested in the the origin, evolution of Black Twitter and what its continued use as a marker of an online racialised space, especially given the ‘absence’ of a named “White Twitter”, reveals about race and racism online.
Black Twitter Membership: Unlike other social networking sites where one’s personal profile is the focus of interaction – on Twitter it is one’s tweets (i.e. the content of their Twitter message) that is central to the interaction. In essence what is said, and possibly even how it is said on Twitter is (supposedly) considered more important than who said it. I want to understand how the relationship between the ‘what’ and the ‘who’ of tweets impacts Black Twitter inclusion and exclusion. Is every black person on Twitter a member of Black Twitter by virtue of being black and on Twitter? Or is Black Twitter only for those who Tweet using ‘Black Tags’, and if so can a White person tweet within the space of Black Twitter?
Universal Notion of Blackness? Given the global nature of Twitter and the fact that the term Black exists both as a racial descriptor and a political term; I want to explore the perspectives of non-African-American Black Twitter users on Black Twitter.
And my theoretical framework, is of course Critical Race Theory (CRT) – especially three of CRT’s key elements: critiquing the notion of colour-blindness, essentialism, and counter-storytelling.
Methodology: I am certainly a more qualitative than quantitative person and while I am not 100% of my methodology I would like to conduct in-depth twitter users who self identify as African, African-American, Black-African, Black-British, or Black-Caribbean. There will also be Twitter analysis, tracking trending topics and hashtags and possibly even some statistics.
Who knows where the feedback I receive will take me…but that is where I am at right now.
Focusing my MSc research: Race, Racism and Black Twitter?
When I started this blog it seemed like the dissertation planning process was years away. Now I am a month away from submitting my first proposal. “Just” 1,000 words and a brief outline of what I intend to research and why I want to research it. I no longer have the luxury of focusing on three very broad topics: race, technology and development. I have to narrow this down to something that can be researched in a few months and converted into a 12,000 – 15,000 dissertation. This is also means that I can’t afford to simply post links to articles, journals etc without engaging with the material – something I was reluctant to do a few months ago because I felt that my ideas still needed some refining. Well, the time has come for me to do more than just read and focus my research around a topic or (at this stage) themes that I can transform into a dissertation proposal.
Daniel’s not only identifies an under-researched area of Internet Studies but also suggests that perhaps an alternative theoretical framework be used to improve understanding on race/racism and Internet Studies.
I had already given some thought on how Critical Race Theory could work as a potential theoretical approach but Daniel’s paper really got me thinking more about Twitter and specifically Black Twitter. It is still early days in the process and as the mind map illustrates – those items in green; Internet Studies, Race, Twitter, Black Twitter, Critical Race Theory; are the sort of broad areas of interest to me but I am certainly becoming more focused in my reading and questioning.
One area that I think I would like to explore is the potentially US-centric nature of the term Black Twitter and how it impacts non-American black twitter users. No doubt there will be other areas of interest and I will certainly be using this blog to examine these other areas. I anticipate that as a result of this (slightly) more focused approach, this blog will become less about general ICT4D and race topics and more about the construction and performance of blackness in the Twitterverse.

A revolution in scientific medical thought came about in 1876, by way of the invention of the bacteriological brokers that are responsible for inflicting infectious illnesses. Many people assume that natural medicines are better than artificial drugs just because, well, they are natural and never artificial, due to this fact current no threat.
According to this idea, an imbalance of the 4 humors (blood, phlegm, black and yellow bile) and 4 bodily circumstances (sizzling, chilly, moist and dry) related to the four components – earth, air, fire and water – is the root reason for all illnesses.
Holistic well being care focuses on natural health, thoughts, emotional dimensions, mental features and spiritual consciousness together with nutritional, environmental and life-style elements.
The system of Allopathic Medicine refers back to the medical practices used during a selected interval of history. 6. Wants: Know what your physique wants, and, seek to turn out to be healthier, by avoiding facet – effects, for minor illnesses. Medical physics is the examine of the purposes of physics principles in medication. Medicines can deal with diseases and improve your well being. Very hardly ever do folks, other than these concerned in the medical discipline, bother to seek out out anything much about totally different illnesses and disorders, until someone shut is bothered by them.
A dictionary with authoritative spellings and definitions is a particularly crucial useful resource in medicine, where a misspelling or misunderstanding can have unlucky penalties for folks under care. On the other hand, different drugs shouldn’t be only prevention-based but additionally approaches medical therapy by focusing primarily on proactive measures, principally it treats the situation, not the symptoms.
What Is The Finest Medicine For Acid Reflux?
For some folks, discovering the best acid reflux prescription medications is one thing that turns out to be very simple, however for others, there may be some trial and error involved. Many of these different medication treatments emphasize the interrelation of the mental, emotional, and spiritual features of well being that are what make up complete person. Acupuncture is a form of conventional Chinese language medication that involves the insertion of very skinny needles in numerous factors on the body to alleviate ache.
Statistics in the USA reveal that one of the other disadvantages of contemporary drugs is that many patients typically expertise issues die to numerous medicines and these can usually lead to demise. These remedies are preferred by patients, who don’t need do endure the discomfort and embarrassment of creating repeated trips to the physician for remedy.
There are explanation why folks selected various medication and reasons why they avoid it, preferring conventional medicine. Not like salicylic acid, which destroys the warts and may also destroy pores and skin, these products battle warts positively, by helping your physique’s natural processes battle the illness that causes them. It is studied separately in temperate climates the place those illnesses are quite unfamiliar to medical practitioners and their native medical wants.
