Mine workers in South Africa face a deadline tomorrow to return to work following a deadly dispute over pay and conditions. Violence erupted last month at the world's third-largest platinum mine. Thirty-four miners were shot dead in a confrontation with police. Striking miners are refusing to go back to work until their demands are met. And there are concerns about labor unrest, which has spread to other parts of the country's lucrative mining industry.
NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton joins us from Johannesburg. Ofeibea, welcome.
OFEIBEA QUIST-ARCTON, BYLINE: Greetings. Greetings from Joburg.
WERTHEIMER: So, Ofeibea, what led to this crisis?
QUIST-ARCTON: The main thing that the mineworkers at the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, northwest of Johannesburg, are saying is that they cannot afford to live on the pay that they have been getting, that they need a living wage. And they want about $1,560 a month. That is twice their take-home pay at the moment. So they downed tools. They said they were not going to work. And then there was this confrontation with the police on the 16th of August when their colleagues were killed. A couple of days earlier, two policemen and eight other people had been killed.
Nobody had expected it to happen in this way. It has really sent shock waves across South Africa. But the miners are sticking with their demands. They say they will not go back to work despite the fact that there are talks between other mine unions, the employers and the government, as well as religious leaders.
WERTHEIMER: Ofeibea, you've visited this mine. What is the situation, as we speak?
QUIST-ARCTON: Really tense. Really tense because the striking miners say that other mineworkers should not go back to the shaft, and that they will stop them going back and any employers. So that's what I witnessed Wednesday, when I was there during a march of what started with hundreds of striking mineworkers, but ended up with about 3,000. And then there was a tense encounter between the striking miners and the managers at one shaft, speaking in the local mining language here, known as Fanagalo, and that ended with absolutely no resolution.
But it was - Linda, it was awful. It was like the old days of apartheid. The miners were on their knees, black mineworkers, talking to white managers across a razor wire fence. And one of the religious leaders who went with the miners said, you know, what would have taken for them to take them into their office, sit down with a cup of coffee and biscuits, and discuss the problems. That did not happen.
WERTHEIMER: Now, there are those who say the troubles at this platinum mine are symbolic of deeper troubles in South Africa. Apartheid has been over almost 20 years. What does the dispute tell us about the state of the country?
QUIST-ARCTON: That although the people who fought against apartheid and white minority rule were fighting for equality and opportunities for all South Africans regardless of their color, that only an elite, a minority, has been getting rich in these past two decades while the masses remain poor and feel that they have no chance of a better life. So the miners are very representative of many South Africans who say, we fought for equality, for freedom, but look where we are 20 years down the line. Something has got to change.
So there's a lot of politics in this as well, Linda. And there are politicians on all sides who are trying to gain political capital out of this miner strike. But ultimately, what you have most people saying is, look, these people need to be able to feed their families, put food on the table, send their children to school, and live a decent life. And that is what we should be looking at. | https://www.kuer.org/2012-09-09/s-africa-mine-dispute-surfaces-other-issues | 1,660,324,373 | null |
Digital winners will be the companies who best understand customers’ emotional response to technology
Wednesday 21st September 2016 - The Virgin Media Digital Insights Report has forecast a near doubling in online consumer spending in Ireland to more than €14 billion annually between now and 2021, with significant opportunities for Irish SMEs in the process.
You can check out the report online at VirginMedia.ie/Insights
The digital economy is now worth around 6% of Ireland’s GDP
94% of Irish internet users shop online
Online shopping spend has increased by 13% to €7.5 billion over the past two years - greater than the 9% growth in overall consumer spending in the same period
Average online spend has grown by 13% since 2014 to €80 per month per person
About 60% (€4.5bn) of Irish online shopping currently goes abroad. If consumer spending continues on the current trajectory, that could rise to €8.5bn by 2021
Consumers would demand compensation of €390 per month if their broadband service was removed (more than tripling from €130 in 2014).
The report also found a significant change in the reasons for buying online rather than in store:
Reasons to purchase a product or service online rather than in a store:

The research was carried out on behalf of Virgin Media by Amárach, across a representative sample of 1,000 adults throughout the Republic of Ireland, exploring their experiences, behaviours and intentions in relation to the digital future.
Commenting on the Report, An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny T.D., said:
"I very much welcome Virgin Media's Digital Insights Report 2016, which provides very useful insights into current digital trends in Ireland, and highlights the significant opportunities for Irish businesses in an expanding digital economy, which is now worth around 6% of Ireland’s GDP. It is clear that the digital economy is growing at a very fast pace and it is essential that Irish businesses, in particular SMEs, capture this increasing market.
“This report clearly highlights the huge opportunity for Irish businesses to increase their share of online sales. Taking the leap to trading online can be a big step for many Irish businesses. It is important that businesses are encouraged to trade online and to maximise the opportunities of the digital economy. Supports are in place to help, including the Trading Online Voucher Scheme, which was launched in 2014 as part of the Action Plan for Jobs and provides matching funding to establish an online trading presence."
Tony Hanway, CEO of Virgin Media said:
“This is our third Digital Insights Report since 2012 and it shows how rapidly the Irish digital landscape is changing.
“The report found that Irish people place a very high value on digital technologies with a significant consumer surplus built into the compensation they would require if their broadband service was not available tomorrow. This is testament to the major extent that digital technologies have become central to daily life in Ireland.
“Ever increasing numbers of Irish consumers are shopping and using services online. This is seen in the increase in spending over the last two years and the projected forecast for online consumer spending to grow from €7.5 billion to €14.1 billion in 2021.
“Irish websites account for just 41% (some €3.1 billion) of Irish online purchases, with a further €4.4 billion euro being spent offshore. If that trend continues to 2021, over €8 billion euro in goods and services will be bought offshore at that time. This represents a significant potential loss of trade to the Irish economy and Irish businesses.
“With online spending by Irish consumers set to almost double in value in the next five years, there are opportunities for digital-savvy Irish SMEs and start-ups to capture their share of the fastest-growing sector in the economy, but they have to act fast.”
Digital Lives
The Digital Lives section of the report looks at the psychological, social, and emotional impacts of increasingly pervasive digital technologies and draws important conclusions for society and industry.
There are some very positive results in relation to the impacts of digital technologies, such as the internet and smartphones on areas of our lives including work and study, but decidedly more mixed outcomes when it comes to personal relationships.
Among the key findings were:
Some 53% of respondents felt that digital technologies helped them with their work while 71% said they helped with studying and learning new skills
39% of respondents believed that digital technologies helped relationships with current or previous partners; 30% found them a hindrance
Just 24% said they helped with intimacy while 37% said they hampered it
32% said that technologies were an obstacle to relationships with their children and 33% saw them as an aid
49% of respondents were worried about the impact of digital technology on their privacy
Overall, 65% of respondents said they felt more connected to family through digital communications
Virgin Media CEO Tony Hanway concluded:
“While people are comfortable and knowledgeable with digital technologies, a clear value proposition needs to be offered before they will adopt them.
“One of the biggest challenges to SMEs, start-ups and even large companies in the future, will be persuading already satisfied customers that they really should try the new products and services that digital technology will make available in the coming years.
“There will be opportunities for businesses to invent and launch new products and even to create new markets. Meeting that challenge will demand a deep understanding of the needs and circumstances of Irish consumers, especially their emotional drivers and expectations.
“Businesses must start with the customer and the emotional and the relational impact they want them to experience when they use a new product or service. The ability to develop a more customer centric approach will decide the winners during the next wave of the digital economy.”

The first Moonday of 2015 has officially come and gone, and judging by the looks on your faces — I’m assuming, anyway — you’re more than a little confused about what you just saw on Teen Wolf. But here’s the thing: You’re supposed to be.
Staying true to form, Monday’s Season 5 premiere dropped viewers in the midst of a hectic situation — in this case, a super-powered Lydia trapped in Eichen House — and wished them the best of luck in piecing together what the hell was actually going on. Fortunately, executive producer Jeff Davis explained to TVLine that the events at E.H. take place a week in the future, making everything else in the episode a flashback.
That means we can hopefully expect to see what landed Lydia there, not to mention how she suddenly mastered her kick-ass banshee powers. (That scream rattled my damn soul.) If all goes well, we’ll also see more of Aiden, easily the most welcome “surprise” of the entire hour.
On the flip side, Lydia’s memory of her fallen comrades was a most unwelcome surprise. Mama McCall slapping Papa Stilinski, Kira leaving Scott, Stiles in a car accident, Malia’s unfortunate first meeting with her mother, Parrish in a(nother) fire… all very, very bad stuff. (As for Malia’s mother, Davis tells me the Desert Wolf arrives at a “pivotal moment” further into Season 5A.)
Meanwhile, in the past…
SENIOR MOMENTS | As promised by Sir Davis, the first hour of Teen Wolf‘s fifth season primarily focused on B.H.H.S.’ incoming senior class, which includes Malia, due to (I assume) some sort of clerical error. Meanwhile, Stiles established his overwhelming fear of being separated from his friends after graduation — “no one gets left behind,” not even the Jeep — while Scott vocalized his own concerns that life can’t possibly stay OK for long; eventually, it’ll have to tip towards good or bad. (Holy downer, Batman.) But in addition to looking towards/fearing the future, Scott and his pack also honored the past, particularly when writing their names on the library bookshelves during Senior Scribe. Seriously, if your heart didn’t squeeze at least a little bit when Lydia remarked that Allison “still is” with them, you might want to check your pulse. You’re probably already dead.
DOCTORS? EVIL! | As if we needed one more reason to fear the doctor’s office — it’s 2015 and everything can kill you — this week’s premiere sure delivered a doozy. Not only did the much-hyped “Doctors” exterminate one of their own hell-beasts for failing to snatch Scott’s powers (“No second chances!”), but one of them is also attempting to drill a hole in Lydia’s brain as we speak. To be fair, I’m not sure if the guy drilling into Lydia is in league with the aforementioned creeps, but honestly, this is Teen Wolf. When are we really sure of anything?!
THEO HUNKSTABLE | The premiere also introduced Cody Christian’s character, a lone wolf named Theo who knew Scott waaaaay back in the day. I’m talking ancient times. Like, elementary school. Anyway, when Theo found out there was a True Alpha named Scott McCall in Beacon Hills, he knew he had to head back to the homeland and join his pack. (I feel like Theo really lucked out. It would’ve been super embarrassing if there were two True Alphas named Scott McCall in Beacon Hills. Bullet dodged.) We’re not sure if we can trust Theo yet — that’s being saved for Tuesday’s follow-up episode — but I’m willing to go all in. I mean, Christian seems less creepy on Teen Wolf than he does on Pretty Little Liars and he’s literally playing a monster this time. So, there you go.
PARRISH, THE THOT | Parrish’s incessant whining about not having enough to do — like, just shut up and take your shirt off, right? — finally worked Sheriff Stilinski’s last nerve, prompting him to send the chiseled rookie on a seemingly routine house call. But this is Beacon Hills, so the visit quickly found Parrish going chest-to-claw with that hell-beast I mentioned earlier. “You’re no ordinary creature, deputy,” quoth the hell-beast, which immediately gave me major True Blood flashbacks. (“What are you?”) Parrish, of course, doesn’t know what he is, which only made the audience hell-beast angrier. In fact, were it not for Lydia appearing to (and almost kissing) him, he’d likely be a hot goner by now. Fortunately, he survived, and was able to inform Mama McCall that said hell-beast probably(?) has the ability to steal a True Alpha’s powers. Yikes! (Should we all start placing bets on when we’ll actually find out what Parrish is? At this rate, I’m thinking Season 9.)
ASSORTED THOUGHTS/QUESTIONS:
* Do we think Kira’s mom’s speech about the “wild hunt” was foreshadowing anything? I didn’t see any black horses with stoner bloodshot eyes in the premiere, so I assume we can just chalk it up to Mama Yukimura’s folklore fetish and move on.
* Speaking of things that may or may not matter, did anyone put any stock in that Donovan kid? He seemed pretty pissed at Sheriff Stilinski, and people don’t usually make idle death threats on this show. Prayer circle commencing in 3… 2… 1…
* How freakin’ adorable was Scott’s exchange with Liam, in which he recalled Derek’s remarks about how Liam was one of the strongest werewolves he’d seen at his age? I love watching Scott become a leader, especially in seeing how his leadership style differs from Derek. (So far, I’m seeing a little less lurking in the shadows and a lot less eyebrows.)
Teen Wolf fans, let’s hear your take on the premiere: Do you trust Theo? Do you have any new theories about Parrish’s supernatural identity? Are you praying to any god who will listen that Stiles survives that car accident?

Meet Shannon Hruska, Executive Director for 2B Organized®! With more than 10 years of marketing, design & web design experience, Shannon is the perfect addition to the 2B Organized® team. From designing the 2B marketing materials & website to keeping everyone up-to-date technologically, Shannon helps keep everyone on the 2B team organized behind the scenes so that they can focus on their clients & successfully run their businesses.
Like everyone on the 2B team, Shannon comes by her obsession with organizing naturally. She color coded her closet at young age, has always loved a good drawer organizer & has constantly striven to create a home that is Pretty & Practical. This has been especially necessary because she has moved 10 times in the last 14 years! Organized spaces & minimalism made all those moves less stressful so she could tackle them with confidence.
The latest move took her from her hometown of Springfield, Missouri, all the way across Kansas to Colorado Springs, Colorado in the front range of the Rocky Mountains. It was absolutely fate that she was connected with Betsy Miller & Karlee Alves the day after this big move & the rest is history! She jumped in feet first & knew immediately that she had found her tribe. Working with the incredible 2B team was totally meant 2B!
Shannon lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with her husband, David, American Eskimo dog, Japhy, & tuxedo cat, Butters. In her free time, you’ll find her DIYing her way through her first home that isn’t a rental, exploring the mountains just 15 minutes away, or relaxing in her favorite spot in her house—her backyard hammock with the perfect view of Pikes Peak.
Fun Facts!
Nature is my happy place. Hiking in the woods, floating down a river, hitting the trails on my mountain bike…I’m happiest when I’m outside.
I’m always 15 minutes early. Showing up on time means that I’m late.
There’s no DIY I won’t attempt. My grandpa taught me how to use tools at a very young age & it gave me the courage to try anything!
Organizing Hacks
I stay organized in my work from home life by batch working. This means that I save all like tasks to work on at once. It keeps me more focused & means that I produce higher quality work.
Containers, containers, containers! It’s the best way to corral things so that everything is contained & easy to find. | https://2b-organized.com/executive-director/ | 1,659,989,580 | null |

Along with the erotic art, there were a slew of performance artists. The amazing Maya Sinstress (not done justice on my iphone photo) sweetly sat at her makeshift boudoir, and with a needle and thread, daintily sewed her lips shut. I watched grimacing next to the lucky soon to be Mr. Sinstress, pal and artist Jeremy Scheuch, and asked him, in typical rube fashion, "Doesn't that hurt?!" Jeremy respond in a matter of fact shrug, "She likes it."
This is where a comment about how all women should be seen and not heard, but I have a feeling Maya could do a lot of damage sewn up or not, so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut too. | https://mitchoconnell.blogspot.com/2010/06/dirty-show-2.html | 1,660,042,987 | 1,658,919,897 |
When it comes to editing your writing, grammar is an important component of effective communication. While the majority of editing tools are incredibly effective, they don’t always achieve the same level of perfection. Grammarly’s premium tooltips offer additional grammar information. They explain word usage and phrases, and allow you to learn from mistakes. Of course, there’s no 100% guarantee that feedback will be accurate, but this is a step in the right direction.
Grammarly Premium
If you want to use a grammar checker, the two major options available are Grammarly Premium and Rest. Both offer a similar service, highlighting errors and pointing out patterns in your writing. Both require an internet connection. Grammarly highlights critical mistakes in red and advanced errors in different colors. Premium users are entitled to the advanced features of Grammarly. Once you’ve spotted an error, you can click on the highlighted word to view more information or correct the mistake.
Grammarly Premium offers a variety of features, such as the ability to change the genre of a piece of writing. You can even pay a one-time fee if you want to use it on a monthly basis. In addition, you can subscribe to a year’s worth of Grammarly and pay one lump sum if you want to use it for multiple purposes. Grammarly Premium has many more features than Rest, and you can use it on multiple devices, including your smartphone.
Grammarly Free
If you would like to try Grammarly out for free, you have a couple of options. Firstly, you can either create an account and confirm it, or you can use the social accounts of Grammarly to contact them. In either case, you will get a positive reply. Grammarly is known to have a good customer support system, so you should expect a quick response. However, if you are unable to get the desired results after contacting them, you can always try out Grammarly Premium.
Grammarly is a powerful online tool that allows you to edit text using the AI engine. It allows you to select your preferred language, turn off its functionality on certain websites, and add non-real words to its dictionary. It also offers security protocols, including 256-bit AES encryption and GDPR and Privacy-Shield compliance. Another great feature of Grammarly is its Firefox extension. Users can easily import their existing text and edit it with just a click.
Grammarly Mobile
If you’re using Grammarly on your smartphone, you might be wondering which is better for you: Grammarly Mobile or the rest of the website. You can customize both to your liking. Free versions let you add new words to their dictionary and choose which sites to suggest. Both can detect basic and advanced grammar and spelling mistakes, but the premium version provides extra features. Grammarly Mobile is free, but you’ll need to subscribe to get all of its grammar suggestions.
For one, Grammarly needs an internet connection to function. Even if it’s a stable connection, you won’t be able to use it if you’re in an area without a signal. It also has no offline usage, so you’ll need to be connected to the internet to use it. You can install Grammarly on as many devices as you like as long as they’re under the same account.
Grammarly’s Tone Detector
With over eleven years in business, Grammarly has developed a number of useful features and tools. The company’s tone detector is just the latest addition to their suite of tools, and it has already received rave reviews from users. This feature will analyze your email or documents and provide suggestions on the tone of your text. The algorithm is based on the way humans speak and recognizes more than 40 different tones of voice. For example, a buttoned shirt indicates a formal tone, while a handshake and two hands in the air show an appreciative tone. A frown and squinted face indicate a disapproval tone, while a regular smile means you’re appreciative or happy.
To activate Grammarly’s tone detector, simply type 150 characters and click the G icon in the lower-right corner of your screen. You can also use it with the browser extension or its mobile keyboard. To use the feature, you must have Grammarly installed on your browser. If you don’t have the program installed, simply tap on the G icon in the lower-right corner of the text field and select “Tone Detection” from the drop-down menu.
Turnitin’s plagiarism checker
To compare grammar tools, you should first consider both Grammarly and Turnitin. Both are excellent, but one has some advantages over the other. Grammarly is a free grammar tool, while Turnitin’s plagiarism detection is more sophisticated. For academic institutions, Turnitin is a better choice because of its broader database and ability to identify plagiarism in a wide variety of sources.
In addition to checking for plagiarism, both Turnitin and Grammarly offer a wide range of suggestions. In addition to spelling and grammar mistakes, Turnitin can also flag unpublished papers. Turnitin is more comprehensive than Grammarly, as it searches academic databases, online databases, and unpublished papers. It also highlights plagiarism, and lists web pages where the original texts are published. Grammarly is free to use, but a premium plan costs $12 a month or $150 per year. Grammarly also offers corporate and educational packages. The cost depends on the number of users. | https://www.dammerungarts.com/grammarly-vs-rest/ | 1,660,608,801 | null |

Reflecting the True Essence of a Punjabi Wedding
March 31, 2015 | Honii Sandhu
TE PERFECT RIOT OF COLOURS WITH TRADITION AND EXTRAVAGANCE, THESE HERITAGE PIECES ARE HAUTE ON THE BRIDAL COUTURE LIST!
The Phulkari, a traditional handwork passed on as a blessing through generations, is the true essence of the wedding wardrobe in Punjab. A class apart, this 600-year-old heirloom is the modern-day rendition of an era that exudes radiance and eternal beauty. “It’s a timeless tradition in Punjab to gift Phulkari to the daughters on wedding. Initially, this artwork was restricted to the four walls of the house with the involvement of all the womenfolk of the family. Today, it’s as much a fashion as a tradition, ‘shares Honii Sandhu, a Chandigarh-based Fashion Designer. From dupatta to a lehanga to an angarskha or saris, they can grace any wedding dress with its unique design known as baghs (garden). “What makes it unique is the fact that even though the embroidery is done on the reverse, the pattern takes shape on the front, “shares Gulneet Kaur, a Phulkari artist.
The modern twist on this floral artwork is creating quite a buzz. Designers besotted with this art form are aiming to expand the appeal of these floral motifs while tweaking it just a little bit. “From wedding prospective, Phulkari have seen a great upheaval recently. However, it’s important to pay attention to finer nuances like proper selection of thread, cloth and embellishment. Especially, the daring stiches, which lend the authenticity to the material, need utmost precision and craftsmanship,” adds Sandhu.
Honey Sandhu is one of the best Chandigarh based Indian & Pakistani Bridal Wear Designer. She is one of the top fashion designers in Chandigarh who are having a wide range of designer Indian wedding dresses, Pakistani sharara, Pakistani wedding lehanga, Phulkari odhnis & many more. | http://honiisandhu.com/blog/category/fashion-designer/ | 1,660,230,944 | null |
A little compilation of testimonials from some of the lovely ladies I've made up over the last few years, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!
Thank You!
"Emily, my absolute star! Thank you so much for all your help on the morning of the wedding. You went above and beyond! From running around packing bags for me, to bringing Buck's Fizz and strawberries, I am so thankful for your help. Your makeup was spectacular, I got so many comments on how flawless it was; it literally lasted till I took it off the next day - I can't wait to book you in again!"
Sophie
"After some internet stalking I came across Emily and truthfully it was the best discovery I made throughout all my wedding planning. From our very first makeup trial, I knew I didn't need to look for anyone else. I felt flawless on my wedding day and cannot thank Emily enough for this. I received so many compliments on my makeup. I still felt like myself, only the very very best version of me. Emily is genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever met, and whilst some may say this is not a necessity to being a makeup artist, she was a joy to be around and was a lovely, integral part of the day. Thank you for everything Emily."
Anna
"Emily did make up for my wedding day last year. It was so beautifully done and it made me feel amazing. She is such a lovely, friendly, professional lady and I can’t thank her enough for the amazing job she did 😍 xxxx"
Stacey
Emily did both my and my bridesmaids’ make up for my wedding, and it truly made my day. Not only was she fantastic fun to have around, but the results were amazing. I was a bit nervous in advance, but she knew exactly what I needed to get the balance right between me feeling comfortable and looking my best for the photos.
Fern
Emily did mine and my bridesmaids make up for my wedding - she was absolutely fantastic! Her make up is flawless, her selection and expertise extensive and I couldn’t have had anyone else do our make up on the big day! A massive thank you Emily - I highly recommend her! xXx

The phrase "cotton-picking," sometimes spelled as "cotton-picken" or "cotton-pickin'" to signify a dialect, is used as an intensifier to describe something that is unpleasant or troublesome or of little value. The idiom arose in the southern U.S. states sometime during the 1700 among slaves.
Bugs Bunny may have popularized the phrase "Wait just a cotton-picking minute" and fixed it to our language. Here's an example in Bully for Bugs, 1953: "Just a cotton-pickin' minute, this don't look like the Coachella Valley to me!" | http://buttonmuseum.org/buttons/cotton-picken-minute | 1,660,943,242 | 1,660,943,242 |
How a global domestic appliance brand used analytics to discover where and why product content was impeding visibility and conversion on Germany’s biggest e-retailers, and effect change to achieve a 22% increase in digital shelf performance.
The challenge: Limited visibility and weak conversion
This global domestic appliance brand has a 100+ year long heritage known for innovation, quality, and style. However, in the e-commerce arena, that same commitment to quality was compromised. Their e-commerce team was small and performed the bulk of its function manually, from managing content to tracking KPIs. Inevitably some details got lost in the shuffle:
Lacking keywords in product content - directly impacting search performance
Inconsistent - and sometimes incorrect - product content, an influencing factor on conversion
No visibility over customer feedback and ratings & reviews, another conversion factor
No visibility over priority SKUs and where to focus
In Q2 2021 the brand invested in digital shelf analytics tools with eStoreMedia to automate their manual processes, discover the biggest gaps, and action the highest priority issues with search and conversion.
Why is search so important?
43% of shoppers use the search bar first when they visit a retailer’s website
Shoppers who use the search bar are 1.8x more likely to convert
Top results sell as much as 80% of the category depending on the retailer
Our solution: The e-commerce perfect store framework
We worked with the brand’s e-commerce team to implement our digital shelf analytics tools to track the most critical KPIs across their highest priority SKUs, focusing on the German market as a test case. We applied our “perfect store” framework to set up the tools and processes to more effectively execute their e-commerce function across top german retailers:
Strategy: We worked directly with the brand to turn their manual processes into tasks they could automate with our digital shelf tools. This included weekly contact with their e-commerce managers to swiftly get them up to speed with the analytics. Our tools revealed that the biggest issues for the brand were lacking keywords, incorrect packshot images, and lacking ratings and reviews.
Design: Having established initial findings, we worked with the brand to establish success criteria and the core KPIs that were currently blockers for digital shelf success. These KPIs included: Share in Top 10 Search; product content areas like photos, rich content, and bullet points; and ratings and reviews (both quantity and quality).
Delivery: We used eStoreCheck to automate the tracking of their KPIs across their portfolio at key German online retailers such as amazon.de, otto.de, and mediamarkt.de
Measure: An intuitive dashboard delivered an aggregated digital shelf score which summarized their performance, while deep-dive reports allowed them to identify key problems at the SKU level and take action. Our reports are flexible and dynamic, capable of measuring everything with weights, targets and thresholds.
Identify and close gaps: Our gap-closing reports allowed the brand to quickly take action on problems, and iterate the process to continuously improve performance across retailers
What is your Digital Shelf Score?
Our DSS is an aggregated score of e-commerce performance based on the most impactful KPIs that influence online sales.
The result: Significant gain in search visibility
Our tools revealed two mission critical gaps:
Lacking keywords in product titles and descriptions
Incorrect packshot images on numerous high priority SKUs
With clarity, the brand knew where to focus, fixing the gaps having the most detrimental impact on search and conversion. By Q2 2022, a year later, the brand saw a | https://www.estoremedia.com/blog/digital-shelf-search-visibility | 1,660,905,163 | 1,660,877,177 |

The European Union has increased its number of patent holder in this euro crisis along with COVI19 global pandemics. The growth and increment of the patent will improve the present challenges in the biotechnological and pharma industries of the EU from that of 2015 to 2018. This growth rate is higher than that of last 10 years growth rate of patent in EU only.
The number of patent holder for 2019 is much higher that of the 2018 with a higher growth rate of 4%, which represents the slow and steady growth of the economy zone.

As per the global patent index data (WPO), the patents holder in Europe has significantly reduced from 18% to 11% with a gap of 7% since 2008 to 2018.

The price of real estate is shooting up fast in India, which means you might need to be content with a small house or apartment. And that implies modest interiors with small rooms. But it doesn’t mean you can’t put together a great-looking space that is functional and comfy as well. Take your bedroom setup for instance. Does it seem like it is too small to be that perfect relaxed haven you are looking for? Think again! With a bit of creativity and smart ideation, you can make it look spacious, bright, airy and welcoming. Here are 5 ideas to make a small room look bigger that you need to keep in mind.
1. Go for light, soothing colours
If possible, for a small bedroom design, white is the best colour you can choose. To break the monotony, you can choose beautiful patterned tiles or wood finishing for the floor and keep the ceiling and walls white. If white is not your thing, go for soothing pastel shades of pink, blue, grey or yellow. You can always add visual interest in the form of bright-coloured lamps or colourful cushions on the bed or a single, bright rug. Avoid using more than one colour to paint your bedroom as it might end up demarcating the space visually and make it seem cramped.
2. Be careful with décor accents
Too many décor accents can crowd small bedroom layouts and eat up precious space. So, choose only a few pieces that are unique and meaningful to you. For instance, a single large painting on the wall behind your bed can add personality to the room without wasting floor area. It can also act like a focal point. Or a couple of indoor greens in a corner can do the trick. Using a delicately patterned wallpaper in a light tone is a great trick to get the best small room design possible without overpowering it.

3. Get smart with furniture
If you are wondering how to make a small room look bigger, choosing the right furniture can help. This is especially true for bedrooms. Beds with inbuilt drawers, bunk beds (for children’s room), foldable chairs and tables, wardrobes with study units are examples of furniture that can save space in small bedrooms. Bunk beds are especially helpful if you are wondering how to arrange 2 twin beds in a small room. Make a point to use the vertical space as much as possible but try and stick to just a couple of walls at the most. Using up all the walls will defeat the purpose of making your bedroom seem spacious.
If wardrobes seem too much for your space, get wall-mounted shelves or cubbies. These will free up a lot of floor area and ease movement as well. And no matter what kind of furniture you use, go for sleek and minimalistic designs. The furniture colour should ideally be light and complement the walls, to create a spacious, airy vibe.
4. Believe in illusions
Does your small bedroom have a low ceiling? Then choose a bed that is close to the ground. This will create the illusion of a spacious bedroom, especially when paired with low ottomans or bedside tables. Or if you have a high ceiling, go for furniture pieces that have exposed legs and are a little above the ground. A lot of the floor will be visible this way and lend to the illusion of space. Also, experiment with mirrors. They make small bedrooms appear larger and more breathable as they reflect light. Full-length mirrors with sleek, simple frames, especially do the trick. You can also position a full-length dressing mirror near a window for a cheerful and spacious effect.

5. Choose curtains with care
Dark, thick or heavy drapes can make small bedrooms look stifling, cramped and smaller than they are in real. So, go for light curtains in pastel shades or sheer ones. They will let in natural light easily, go well with your walls, and open up the room visually. Make sure the drapes don’t touch the floor, as it can break the visual continuity. If your bedroom has enough privacy or doesn’t face a neighbour’s house, you can get by without curtains as well. This is, in fact, one of the best and simple small bedroom ideas.
To wrap up
Having a small bedroom doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style, comfort or practicality. Keep the above 5 tips in mind to overcome constraints and turn your bedroom setup into a dreamy escape. Also, make sure you never stuff your bedroom with things you don’t need. Need more guidance to get started? The interior designers at BlueMasons can help.

The well-connected Mohamed Toubache-TER reports this evening that Cameroonian international winger Paul-Georges Ntep, who recently reached a mutual termination agreement with Wolfsburg to enable him to exit his contract, making him a free agent, is attracting considerable interest from Ligue 1 side Montpellier.
The 27-year-old’s profile corresponds with what MHSC coach Michel Der Zakarian wants in the attacking sector, someone rapid who has a penchant for moving out wide.
However, the board is taking some time to interrogate the player’s abilities further, with the ex-Rennes man having had a torrid number of years with fitness problems and uneven form.

Aiea’s post-season run last winter sets up Na Ali‘i to be on the receiving end of every opponent’s best effort this time around.
“I’ve told the girls they’ll have a target on their back this year,” said head coach Benji Villaflor.
Na Ali‘i were the feel-good story in soccer last February when they beat Kaiser 1-0, fourth-seeded Konawaena 2-0 and Kapolei 2-1 to make the title game of the Division I state tournament.
Aiea had entered the state tournament having earned the sixth and final OIA berth.
It was defeated by Punahou in the finale, but the 2014 post-season served as a great springboard into the current season, according to Villaflor.
“We’ve picked up from last year — it seems like we’re not too far off from where we were (at state tournament time),” he said. “It was a great soccer experience overall, and we hope we can do it again. The girls know what to expect now.”
Unlike last season, when it had to overcome a slow start, Aiea opened the 2014-15 Red slate with 10-0 wins over Radford and Leilehua.
“Getting off to a good start is really important for us,” said Villaflor, who led Aiea to a 13-5 record last year. “But we haven’t played an experienced team yet — like Pearl City, Kapolei or Mililani — so we don’t really know where we stand, but we’re coming along well.”
Aiea’s offensive output in the first two games was huge for another reason, as senior Raisa Strom-Okimoto was lost for the season to an injury suffered in a preseason game with Baldwin.
She was the state’s leading scorer last season with 24 goals in addition to being named OIA West Player of the Year in a vote of league coaches at season’s end.
“I think the girls know they have to pick up the slack for her,” Villaflor said. “Everybody seems to be stepping up.”
Among Na Ali‘i’s key returnees are seniors Leah Pajimula (center-midfielder) and Keani Napuunoa (attacker). Both serve as captains.
“She’s one of our veterans,” Villaflor said of Pajimula, who was a Second Team All-Conference pick last year. “She’s not real vocal, but she’s a leader by example.
“Keani has a great work ethic and a great attitude,” he added, “and she helps keep the girls together.”
Also back in the fold for Aiea are seniors Brittany Maze (defender) and Tamera Mikamura (center-midfielder) as well as junior Sara Olanda (attacker).
“Brittany is one of our high-speed attackers — she’s real good at coming out of the back. She’s really fast and really athletic.
“Tamera tries to control the game for us — she has a big role.”
Olanda, meanwhile, has provided an offensive boost early on this season with five tallies in her first two games. She scored three in Aiea’s season-opener with Radford.
“She has the ability to score,” Villaflor said.
Na Ali‘i were to finish up a three-game home stand with a game Tuesday against Campbell.
The team now will have a week to prepare for a road date Dec. 30 with Waialua.
Following that game, Aiea will have another bye of nine days before a stretch on their schedule that will see them play Kapolei Jan. 9, Pearl City Jan. 13 and Mililani Jan. 16. “If we play our game and stay disciplined, I think we should be OK with any team that we play,” Villaflor said. “It’s about how we come out and perform.” | https://www.midweek.com/aiea-girls-soccer-team-rebounds-last-seasons-loss/ | 1,660,044,625 | null |

After July 1, 2022, three distinct presbyteries will meet separately. See each presbytery's website for more information.
Praise the Lord!
Three New Presbyteries Are Now Official!
After several years of guidance from the Lord, prayer, planning and preparing, the Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic has multiplied into three new presbyteries.
As of July 1, 2022, the Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic no longer exists. Three new presbyteries now take up the mission to make disciples, plant churches and equip believers to serve our communities and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.
Multiplying into three new presbyteries is a bittersweet event. We will miss our brothers and sisters across West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. But, we praise the Lord for new brothers and sisters and more effective ministry across our new presbyteries. May we continue the Lord's work remembering the DNA of the Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic.
We pray for God's direction and blessings as we multiply!

For many, the first noticeable wildfires were in 2017. It was the first time that smoke polluted the air so much that it was unsafe to even step outside; it was the first time that many people tuned in to the news with rapt attention, watching fiery plumes envelop trees and homes; it was the first time that many people saw that red sun that is now so familiar to us all. But in the four years since then, there have been major fires every year at the same time, enough for students to recognize a distinct “fire season.” As much as we’ve had wildfires ravaging our state at a predictable time each year, those who don’t directly suffer the consequences of the fire simply brush it off as normal. They say, “It’s just part of living in California”; something you have to deal with. However, these wildfires are not normal: they’re a symptom of our atmosphere heating up and our climate changing. Unless we take individual and governmental action right now, we won’t be able to remember a year when we didn’t have to hide from a sky grey with ash.
From Dec. 2011 to March 2019, California was officially in a drought: the ground was cracked and dry, and water had to be saved and regulated. It was during this period that we first began to see the huge wildfires that came with the transition to fall—hotter temperatures continued to dry out forest floors while winter snow melted sooner and left our forest floors vulnerable for longer. This year, we saw both natural and man-made causes for the fires that pervade the air outside. Just a few weeks ago, many of us were kept awake by loud and violent thunderstorms that continued for hours on end—and sparked numerous wildfires. Conversely, the El Dorado fire, currently burning its way through San Bernardino county, was started by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used in a gender reveal party.
The effort to prevent fires is a burden placed both on us and our state government. As environmentally conservative citizens, it’s imperative to ensure that campfires are put out and that no one drops any cigarettes on the ground. If you’re up in the hills or out camping and see an unattended fire, report it, make sure that there’s no flammable liquids being spilled onto the brush, and hey, maybe don’t set off pyrotechnics in the middle of a forest?
As for the government, there are two directions to take. One is to fund our firefighters and place money into funds that will combat these fires. While this is essential, we must also focus on the root cause of the fires. The climate is changing, and each year it seems to be getting worse. Greenhouse gas emissions are polluting our ozone layer, and that, in turn, increases the global temperature. With the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Climate agreement, a United Nations backed resolution to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, we have even less time to get things right. Our other choice is to convert to sustainable energy sources and pass the Green New Deal in Congress, which is currently the clearest path to progress. The deal states that Earth must achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and lays out a ten-year plan for the United States that will help lead us down that path. As much as individual efforts will help, we need mass government oversight on this issue.
This past week’s insufferable heat is just another symptom of global climate change. Sitting in front of a fan all day shouldn’t be the new normal, and neither should power outages. As much as each person has an individual part to play in being environmentally conscious, it must be emphasized that all of this can be undercut by a few greedy people. Climate change cannot be solved by incrementalism; instead, this country needs to make some big changes right now, and the best way to make sure that happens is to vote.
As constituents, it’s necessary to always push our representatives to do better–not just at the national level, but at the state and local level too. Email and call your representatives and ask what they’re doing to help with fire prevention and environmental preservation. Demand that they act because, at the end of the day, their loyalty is not to their own opinions, but to yours. Inquire about what the state is doing to switch to wind and solar power, what they will do to preserve water and how they can prevent and extinguish fires.
In 2018, the Woolsey fire in Southern California caused massive mudslides after it was put out. In a way, that’s how this climate crisis exists in America. We are constantly sliding down a mud slope to impending doom at the bottom. It’s slippery, yes, but it’s not impossible to get a holding. It has to be a conscious effort to climb back up: it can’t be a few minor actions followed by slacking off. From one day to the next, choose to bike somewhere or take the train. Refuse that plastic bag offered at the grocery store, get a reusable water bottle and bring it along everywhere. Making small changes in your daily life to accompany government action is the perfect formula for success. At the end of the day, California is a state with so many beautiful beaches and parks—it’d be a shame to ruin it. | https://gunnoracle.com/19556/uncategorized/__trashed-6/?print=true | 1,660,305,353 | null |
Leo Schachter, whose famed international diamond company has borne his name for almost 70 years, has died.
Schachter launched Beck and Schachter Company on New York’s 47th Street in 1952, having learned the trade from his father, Max. The firm became a De Beers sightholder in 1966, and expanded beyond the US to Israel, Africa and the Far East.
It remained a family business, with many of Schachter’s five daughters and five sons-in-law becoming involved. The company moved its main sales and distributions to Tel Aviv in 1982, and in 1984 opened a cutting factory in Botswana. In 2016, the firm — now simply called Leo Schachter — joined Alrosa’s contract-sales program.
“[Schachter] looked you straight in the eye, didn’t say that much, but quietly knew everything,” said Martin Rapaport, Chairman of the Rapaport Group. “He was straight and his advice, soft-spoken, was honest and good. He was generous with his wisdom. Someone you could look up to. I liked him and he liked me. Leo’s passing represents the end of a generation of great diamantaires.”
Schachter was an “icon of the diamond industry” and a longtime member of the Diamond Manufacturers & Importers of America (DMIA), added Ronnie VanderLinden, the DMIA’s president, in a statement.

Rosy Blue to Buy Stake in Leo Schachter
Polished manufacturer Rosy Blue has agreed to acquire a minority share in Leo Schachter, as the diamond suppliers seek to make their operations more efficient.
The deal will enable the firms to use each other’s infrastructure around the world, providing better value for their clients, Leo Schachter said in a statement Monday. Leo Schachter will still operate independently under the Schachter family’s majority ownership, led by its current management team, it noted.
The firms expect the transaction to close soon, but did not disclose other terms of the agreement.
“The relationship and collaboration which we have enjoyed with the Rosy Blue family for over two generations will produce a unique and innovative platform for the demands of today’s diamond industry,” said Elliot Tannenbaum, principal at Leo Schachter.
The companies have been working together for more than 30 years, Leo Schachter noted. They both receive rough supply from De Beers, as sightholders, and from Alrosa’s contract-sales business, and have offices in all major industry hubs. | https://www.dcla.com.au/tag/leo-schachter/ | 1,660,063,695 | null |
Sorrento has a strategic position that allows it to be easily reached both by car, bus and train, or by sea; those arriving by plane in Naples can take advantage of daily connections by bus; every day, in fact, there are more trips that connect the Sorrento Peninsula with Naples Capodichino Airport.
BY BUS
Who wants to reach the Sorrento Peninsula from Rome, avoiding using the train, has the opportunity to take advantage of a bus that in four hours connects, directly, Rome and Sorrento.
BY TRAIN
If you arrive in Naples with the Ferrovie dello Stato trains, the Central Station of Piazza Garibaldi is connected by underground corridors to the Circumvesuviana lines that connect Naples and Sorrento directly; trains leave every 30 minutes and, in just over an hour, allow you to arrive on the Sorrento peninsula.
BY CAR
For those who prefer to travel by car, traveling on the A 1 Rome – Naples motorway if coming from the north, or the A 16 Bari – Naples for those coming from the south, you will enter the A3 Napoli – Salerno; exiting at Castellammare di Stabia you arrive on the SS Sorrentina 145 which allows you to reach the Sorrento peninsula.
BY SEA
Sorrento reached can be easily, of course, even by sea thanks to the hydrofoils and ferries that connect the Beverello dock in Naples with the port of Marina Piccola in Sorrento; once arrived at the port, there are the yellow buses of Circumvesuviana that efficiently connect the port with Piazza Tasso, in the city center. | https://www.hoteltouristsorrento.com/location.php | 1,660,544,272 | null |
Tim Horton’s yearly contest “Roll Up The Rim To Win” began on February 18th and ends when the supply of cups last. It is generally towards the end of March when it ends, but I suppose if everyone else stops going to Tim’s then I could play until May 19th which is when they stop honouring the winning cups.
So the contest is pretty much over for another year and I am beginning to think that it just may be that I will not win the Rav4. I really felt that this was the year I would finish my coffee and with hands warmed from holding that paper cup I would roll up the rim and see “Gagnez Un Rav4”. I always seem to read the French printing first for some reason, whether it is a coffee or a box of raisins. Oh well…
There are people out there that could use a new car more than I do, and certainly there are more deserving people I suppose, but I doubt that there is anyone out there that wants it any more than I do. That last part was to let the universe think I really, really, really want the car. I don’t really give a shit about the car, barbecue, $5000 credit card, the $100 Tim cards or any of the food and beverage prizes. The approximate total of prizes is about $54,000,000 when all is said and done. Of course we have to take their word for it, but why would Tim’s lie to us?
This is a very good year for me, I feel empowered. Not empowered like a woman that has taken control of her life, but empowered as in I can accomplish anything. Well, not winning a Rav4 I guess, but pretty much anything else. Probably not become a rock god or compete in the Olympics, but most other things. I started to think of all the things I won’t actually be able to do and I’m starting to get a little depressed. That’s no way to be empowered! Oh well…
When you think of it, I have won six coffees, well actually nine if you count the three cups that I bought for other people who won a coffee. I won a donut and six songs that I can download from the internet. Sure they are crappy songs, but I didn’t have to pay for them. Free is good…right? That is well over ten bucks won, and it only cost me about one hundred. That is way better than the lottery has treated me for the past thirty years or so.
I don’t need Tim Horton’s to tell me that I am a winner. It would be nice of course, but that feeling has to come from inside and involves you being comfortable with the person you are and the road that you are travelling through life. Of course travelling that road inside with air conditioned comfort, heated seats, power windows and doors, Bluetooth capabilities, a nice stereo system and perhaps a sun roof would be pretty sweet. It isn’t written anywhere that you can’t travel the road of life in luxury. | http://www.ourlifeinanutshell.com/2013/03/travel-road-of-life-in-luxury.html | 1,660,491,524 | 1,656,230,928 |

Specialty Dining - Dessert to Go?
hayley_bopp posted a topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
I've just spotted on another post someone referring to taking 'dessert to go' when dining at Chops/Giovanni's Table. When we were on Navigator for our first cruise, we dined at Chops and it was amazing! However, we were so full that I ordered the Red Velvet Cake and just had a couple of bites of it - in the name of research ? My husband refused to order one and so I didn't get to even try his! We're looking forward to our upcoming cruise on the newly-refurbed IOS and will definitely dine at Chops again. If we are again too full for dessert, should we/can we ask for dessert to go?

Dining Question
SSDIAMOND8 posted a topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Hi All, Thanks for taking the time to read the post and I appreciate any comments. On one of the podcast I believe Matt mentioned that under some circumstances it's possible to take some food from the main dining room back to your room to eat later (like if you aren't feeling great or something like that). Sometimes I'm too full for dessert but I eat it anyway because ... you can't miss out on dessert on a cruise! I was wondering if its possible to maybe take the dessert or something back to the room to enjoy later instead of eating it when I am so full. Similarly, at the specialty dinning restaurants I have heard the desserts are wonderful. Can you take a dessert for later from a specialty restaurant? Thanks again! | https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/search/&tags=dessert | 1,660,745,163 | 1,660,744,645 |
With injuries aplenty and rosters expanding in September, the Pittsburgh Pirates have called up Brian Burres to start today’s game against the Chicago Cubs. Burres is former 31st round pick of the San Francisco Giants in 2000. He came to the Pirates after being granted free agency from the Toronto Blue Jays in October of 2009.
In 2010 he appeared in twenty games for the Buccos and started thirteen of them. During those twenty games, he compiled a 4-5 record, an ERA of 4.99 with 45 K’s and 34 walks. For his career, which also included time with the Baltimore Orioles, he is 17-25 with a 5.83 ERA, 214 strikeouts and 156 walks.
He has spent the 2011 season with the Indianapolis Indians where he has compiled a 5-9 record and a 4.66 ERA. Along with that he has struck out 95 batters, while walking 45. Burress has started in 23 of the 25 games he has appeared in.
One would think that with the recent woes of the ball club, the Pirates should bring up other players to give them an opportunity to gain some Major League experience to show their worth heading into the 2012 season.

The first meeting with capacity crowds since 2019 ended with another dramatic day of racing and a surprise in the feature race
There’s been a shower or two but it’s still not likely that the favourite Trueshan, who was pulled out of the Gold Cup on Thursday because of the fast ground, will run in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at 6.10pm later today. Zoe Bird of Sky Sports Racing caught up with trainer Alan King who wasn’t sounding positive. | http://juliescottracing.com.au/racing/view/id/696203/heading/Royal+Ascot+day+five%3A+33-1+Naval+Crown+is+Platinum+king+%E2%80%93+as+it+happened | 1,660,264,794 | null |
Indeed, The Sun, renowned for its journalistic coverage, could create its own bingo site. Bingo is, after all, a working-class women’s game. You don’t have to be a man or a woman to enjoy bingo and The Sun. A wonderful combination, The Sun’s readers and Sun Bingo’s target demographic.
Many popular Sun components remain, like Mystic Meg’s. There’s a nice welcome bonus and slots like Rocky and White King. The Sun and Sun Bingo are linked through the tabloid industry. This is the Sun’s bingo site.

Crosses in towns and villages are often of ancient date and sometimes mark the spot where the right to conduct transactions or hold a market had been granted, in which case they might be referred to as Butter Crosses. In the countryside crosses sometimes mark ancient meeting places and are often situated close to important roadways. Crosses near to or in Churchyards signify hallowed ground and a place for religious gatherings and may pre-date the church itself. The religious tensions in the past frequently led to damage or removal, and very many are now lost or incomplete. | https://warwickshirewayside.co.uk/market-and-wayside-crosses/ | 1,660,437,200 | null |

Sorry Mac, the only way to post photos here is a little round about. If you mouse over your user name on the top right, you’ll see a drop down menu. On the bottom of the menu is “Media” and under that you can add a photo album or individual photos. Once there you can link to them using the “img” button here in the bulletin board.

Hey Mac! That is a nice looking coach! Thank you for sharing your pics! As to a fair asking price, here are my thoughts:
The Cortez hasn’t quite been the collector’s item we owners think it should be. So, There really is no market standard we can look to for pricing. In the end it really comes down to buyer and seller agreeing on a price. I’ve seen twin coach models listed for $10-20k. But that doesn’t do you much good if you cant find a buyer willing to pay that.Clark and Kent models will typically sell for anywhere between free to $12k (Kent’s typically sell for more than Clarks). My suggestion would be to ask a price you’re comfortable with, and see if a buyer materializes. | http://cortezcoach.com/discussion/topic/need-help-1972-twin-coach/ | 1,660,862,044 | null |
I am working to validate a forecasting model of ocean circulation, which generates 7 (seven) days of ocean forecasting, with a netcdf file by every 6 (six) hours. To do it, I have to save a file with the average of the 4 (four) time steps of the parameter in a day of forecast, i.e: I have 4 files of forecasting by each day, so, I have to create a file with a time series which contains the averages of each day, like L = 1 - first day average, L = 2 - second day average. So, I created a multi-cdf file with all the forecasting files in a unique time serie, now, I do not know how could I solve this problem. I can create a variable for each day, but cannot synthesize them in a single file. | https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2010/msg00302.html | 1,660,423,093 | 1,299,288,420 |

I wrote a few posts about my desktop setup about 2 years ago. I started with my first MBP in 2013, which I used for about 5 years until I sold it in 2018, and replaced with a MBP with touch bar. Now in 2020, mid COVID-19 work-from-home era, my setup is as follows:
Desktop
Mac Mini, with Magic Keyboard and Trackpad
42 inch Dell screen
Work provided MacBook Pro "Core i5" 1.4GHz 13-Inch (2019, Touch Bar, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports), 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB - A2159
I use the MBP for work, and for the Mac Mini for personal stuff. The Magic Keyboard is bluetooth-tethered to either one. When I want to switch the keyboard from MBP to Mini, I switch off Bluetooth on the MBP, then switch on Bluetooth on the Mini, and the keyboard just detects it in seconds. The rest of the devices: Jabra headset, Logitech mouse, Yubikey - are all connected to a USB hub. I then just swop the hub between the MBP and Mini.
My previous MBP 2018 specs is as follows:

Charles Haddon Spurgeon February 2, 1863 Scripture: Luke 17:17 From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Volume 51
Where are the Nine?
“And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?” — Luke xvii. 17.
*“This date is an approximation of when this sermon was delivered.”
THE whole narrative connected with the test is worthy of your careful reading. There were ten men, lepers, who, according to the old proverb that “birds of a feather flock together,” had made a company, and seem to have lived in greater amity through kinship of suffering than they would have done had they been healthy and competent to share the fragrance of each other’s joys. Mutual woe may have softened some of their natural jealousies; for we And that there was at least one in the company who was a Samaritan, while the others were Jews. Now, “the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans,” yet, when both are placed beyond the pale of society, in their sickness an intimacy springs up between them. So does common calamity bring about strange friendships. These men, who, under any other circumstances, would have been mortal enemies, became comfortable companions, — at least, so far as their disease would allow them the thought of comfort.
Do you not observe everywhere how sinners congregate together? Drunkards are gregarious creatures; they will not often drink alone. The lascivious song is hardly sweet unless it thrills from many tongues. In most sorts of merry-making that are not wise, we know that it is company that gives the zest, and yields the main gratification. Men seem to have a sort of anticipation of the time when they shall be bound up in bundles; they gaily forestall their gloomy doom, as they bind themselves up in bundles while they are yet living. Oh, that Christians would adhere as closely to one another as sinners do, that they would forget their differences, whether they be Jews or Samaritans, and walk in friendship and love! If common sickness made the lepers a band, how much more should common mercy bind us to one another!
Well, it so happened that all these ten lepers agreed to go to Christ, the great Healer, at one time. Oh, what a mercy it is when a whole hospital full of dinners will agree to go to Christ at once! I recollect — I can never look back but with pleasure upon the time when a whole company of friends, who were simply worldly, irreligious people, and were accustomed to meet together constantly, were all moved with a desire to come up to the house of God, and it pleased God so to direct the shot that the most of them were brought under the divine power. Some of them, who are sitting here now, will recollect right well when they used to issue invitations for their convivial parties on Sunday evenings; but now they are with us, and are some of the most useful and vigorous church-members that we have. It is a fine thing when the ten lepers all agree to come together; it will be a grander thing when the ten lepers are all healed, and not one left to mourn that he has been neglected.
These lepers become an example to us, for they went to Jesus. Their disease was foul and loathsome; they felt it to be so. Their own society could not beguile them; they wanted health, and nothing else but perfect health would content them. How did they go to Jesus? They first of all went directly, for it is written in the narrative that, as Christ entered into a village, these lepers began to cry out. They did not wait until he got into the nearest house, and had sat down, and taken some refreshment; nay, but they meet him at the village gates; they waylay him at the very portals. They cannot stop; no delay, no procrastination for them. O leprous sinner, go to Christ at once; go now, tarry not until thou hast left the sanctuary! Wait not until the sermon is over. It is written, “To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” Young man, at the threshold of your life, seek Christ. Go now, thou who hast begun to be sick. Go now, young woman, now that thy cheek begins to be blanched with consumption, go now, go at once, go instantly to meet the healing Saviour.
They went humbly; they stood afar off, — note that. They felt that they had no right to come near. So, we must go to our Lord for mercy, conscious that we have no claim upon him; and standing, just as the publican did, afar off, scarcely daring to lift our eyes to heaven, we must cry, “God be merciful to me a sinner.” William Dawson once told this story to illustrate how humble the soul must be before it can find peace. He said that, at a revival meeting, a little lad, who was used to Methodist ways, — I do not tell the story for the sake of the Methodism, but for the sake of the moral, — the little boy went home to his mother, and said, “ Mother, John So-and-so is under conviction, and is seeking for peace, but he will not find it to-night, mother.” “Why, William?” said she. “Because he is only down on one knee, mother, and he will never get peace until he is down on both knees.” How, the moral of that story, using it metaphorically, is true. Until conviction of sin brings us down on both knees, until we are completely humbled, until we have no hope, no merit, no proud boasting left, we cannot find the Saviour; and willing must we be, not to embrace him like sanctified Mary, but to stand at a distance like the unclean lepers.
Observe how earnestly they sought him. They cried with a loud voice, or, rather, “They lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” They emulated, one another; one cried with all his might, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us;” and another seemed to say, “That is not loud enough,” and so he shouted, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” And so each one strained his voice that he might reach the ear of the Saviour. There is no winning mercy without holy violence. “The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” You recollect that blind man, who was sitting on the bank, one day, when Jesus went by; and as he heard a great noise of a mob passing along, he said, “What means this?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” The man, with quick perception, perceived that here was an opportunity for him, so he shouted with all his might, “Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” Now, Christ was in the middle of a sermon, and some of the apostles — as some of our good deacons might do when there was a little disturbance, — slipped out of the crowd to say, “Hush, don’t make that noise; you will disturb the preacher;” but he cried, “Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” “Hold your tongue; the Master cannot attend to you.” And other zealous friends gathered round, and would have put him out of the way; but he cried the more a great deal, “Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” Well, now, it is just thus that we must pray if we would get the mercy. Cold prayers court refusal. Heaven is not to be obtained by lukewarm supplications. Heat your prayers red-hot, brother. Plead the blood of Jesus; plead like one who means to prevail, and then you shall prevail.
Not to tarry where there is plenty of room for long observations, let me turn your attention to the way in which Christ cured these ten lepers.
There is a singular variety in Christ’s methods of cure. Sometimes, it is a touch; another time, clay and spittle; at other times, a word. This time, he said to them, “Go shew yourselves unto the priests.” They were not clean, and they might, therefore, have turned round, and said, “What a foolish errand! Why should we go and exhibit our filthiness to priests? Master, wilt thou either cure us or not? If thou wilt cure us, we can then go to- the priests; if thou wilt not, it is a vain errand to go to the priests to be again doomed to seclusion.” They did not ask questions, however; they wore too wise for that; they did just as they were told; and though they were white, and far from being like men whose flesh is sound, the whole ten set off on their pilgrimage to go to the priests; and, as they went, suddenly the cure was wrought, and they were every one of them clean. Oh, what a beautiful picture is this of the plan of salvation! Jesus Christ says, “Believe on me, and live.” Oh, be not foolish; do not say, “But, Lord, make me whole, and then I will believe;” do not say, “Lord, give me a tender heart, and then I will come;” “Lord, forgive my sin, and then I will love thee,” but do as he bids you. He bids you trust him; so, do as he bids you, trust him; and while you are trusting him, while you are going to him with the white leprosy still in your skin, while you are yet upon the way, he will heal you. You know that we are not to be saved first and to believe in Christ afterwards; that may be the order of God’s covenant revelation, but it is not the order of our spiritual apprehension. We are to believe first, just as we are.
“All unholy and unclean,
Being nothing else but sin,” —
I am to believe that Jesus Christ is able to save me; I am to trust my soul with him, that he may save it; and in the act of so doing I shall find salvation. Be not, I pray you, so foolish as to say, “Lord, I object to this method of procedure.” Seek no needless preparation. Do not hesitate and stop until you feel ready to come to him.
“Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth,
Is to feel your need of him:
This he gives you;
’Tis the Spirit’s rising beam.”
Let us now fix our attention more closely on the text. I think I see those ton men; they are trudging along the read, and as they go they are obliged to wear a veil, and to cry, as they march along, “Unclean, unclean, unclean,” so as to warn the passers-by that, lepers are on the road. Suddenly, while they are marching on, one of them turns to his fellow-sufferer, and says, “I am clean;” and the next says, “So am I;” and the whole ten turn round, and look at one another, and each man, as he looks first at his own flesh, and then at his fellow, comes to the conclusion that the whole ten have been healed in an instant. “What shall we do?” says one of them. “Why,” say the others, “we had better go on to the priests, and get officially cleansed, as soon as possible.” “I have a farm,” says one; “I have been a long while away from it, and I should like to get back.” “Ah!” says another, “and I have not seen my wife for many a day; let me be off to the priest, and then go home to her.” “Ah!” says another, “there are my dear little children; I hope soon to take them on my knee.” “Yes,” says another, “and I want to join my old friends, — to get back to my former companions.” But there is another who says, “You don’t mean to say you will go on, do you? I think we ought to go back, and thank the man that has made us whole. This is God’s work; and if we are to go and thank God in the temple, I think we ought first to go and thank God in the man who has done us this benefit, the man Christ Jesus. Let us go back to him.” Oh!” says another, “I think we had better not; if we don’t go to the priest, at once, our friends will not know us again; and it will be a disgrace to us, in after years, if they say, ‘That is John the leper; that is Samuel the leper.’ I think we had better go to the priest at once, get the thing done, and then get back as soon as we can. Let us see; you go to Bethsaida, and you go to Capernaum; let us get back as quietly as possible, and hold our tongues about it, that is our policy.” “What!” says the other man, — and he was a Samaritan, — “what! do that? Never hath such love been heard of as that which has been shown to us, and such a boon as we have received ought to meet with something like gratitude. If you will not go back, I will,” says he; and they turn round, perhaps, and laugh at him for his over-zeal, and one of them says, “Our Samaritan friend always was fanatical.” “Fanatical or not,” says he, “I have received such a favour that I never could repay it, even if I counted out my life’s blood in drops; and, therefore, I will go back to him, and fall at his feet, and adore him as God, seeing he has worked a divine work in me.” Away he goes, down he falls at Jesus’ feet, adores him as God, and with as loud a voice as once he cried, “Lord, have mercy on me,” he cries now, “Glory, glory, glory be unto thy name.” Jesus answers, “Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?”
I am going to use the Saviour’s question, with that picture before you, and I hope we may give a satisfactory account of the nine. Gratitude is a very rare thing. If any of you try to do good for the sake of getting gratitude, you will find it one of the most profitless trades in the world. If you can do good, expecting to be abused for it, you will get your reward; but if you do good, with an expectation of gratitude in return, you will be bitterly disappointed. If anybody is grateful for anything you do, be surprised at it, for it is the way of the world generally to be ungrateful; the more you do, the more you may do; and when you have done your best, your friend will forget it. Alas! that this should be true, in a spiritual sense, with regard to Christians. I shall take that class first. How many are there, in this house of God, whose sins have been forgiven? They owe to Christ a healing far more wonderful than that of being cleansed from leprosy. The Lord has made them clean; they are saved from death and hell. But, of the saved people in the world, how many there are who never make even an open profession of their being saved at all! A few there are who come, — shall I say only one out of ten? They are baptized, we give them the right hand of fellowship, we thank God; this is well, “but where are the nine?” “Where are the nine?” Every now and then, a brother, who has been made a partaker of sovereign grace, comes forward, and says, “I am on the Lord’s side.” Bless God for that; but are there not many who are hiding themselves, like Saul, among the stuff? “Where are the nine?” Walk through the streets, traverse this great city of London; are we to believe that there is no more Christianity in London than that which is apparent in our congregations? I cannot think so; I hope that there are multitudes of time Christians who never did come out and say, “I am a follower of the Lamb.” But is this right? “Where are the nine?” Are they where they are doing good? Are they not in the coward’s place? Are they not skulking like deserters? “Where are the nine?” How is it that they bring no glory to God? Purchased with Christ’s blood, why do they not own that they are his? Being one with him secretly, why do they not become one with him publicly? He said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” O, you nine, where are you?
But, out of those who do make a profession, to come closer home to most of you, how few there are that live up to it! The profession is made, and they call themselves the people of God. And there are some Christians, — especially some in the humbler walks of life, — whose daily walk is the best sermon upon religion that can possibly be preached. With what satisfaction have I often looked upon many a poor girl struggling hard to earn her daily bread with her needle, but adorning the doctrine of God more even than a bishop on the bench! And how have I seen some of you, in other ranks, too, and marked your consistency of life, the incorruptibility of your honesty, — how you will stand out against temptations, and are neither to be moved by bribes, nor to be subdued by threats. Now, this is true of many Christians. You will meet with them every now and then, — men who are like pillars of light, as the saintly Basil desired to be, — men who reflect the image of Christ. As soon as you see them, you have no need to ask, “Whose image and superscription is this?” They live like Jesus; their holiness, their loving spirit, their prayerfulness, their gentleness, all betoken that they are like the Saviour. Ah! this is true of some; “but where are the nine?” “Where are the nine?” That shop-counter can tell where some of them are, — cheating the public. “Where are the nine?” Some of them inconsistent in their walk, — worldly with the worldly, frothy with the light and trifling, as giddy and as fond of carnal pleasure as anybody. “Where are the nine?” O brethren, if all who profess to be God’s people really lived up to what they profess, what a grand world this would be! How changed would trade become! How different your merchandise and your traffic! How altered the appearance of everything. How blessed the poor, how happy the rich! Where would be your pride? Where your aping of high gentility? Where your longing after so much creature-respect and earthly grandeur? The whole thing would be done away with if we became like Christ. In the case of some few, they are delivered from this present evil world according to the will of God. “But where are the nine?” “Where are the nine?” Let their conscience answer.
And in our churches, too, how few there are who, making a profession of religion, are fervent in it! If you want good people, who go regularly to church or chapel, subscribe a little sometimes, do not mind walking through the Sunday-school once in a year, feel a good deal for the poor and needy, only do not feel in their pockets, — if you want good people who wish all sorts of good things, but never do them, — I can find them as readily as I can find birds’ nests in winter time, when the leaves are stripped off the trees. But if you want those who give body, and soul, and strength to God’s cause, — if you would have women who can break the alabaster box of precious ointment for Jesus, as Mary did, — if you would have those that love much, because much has been forgiven, I hardly think you will find one in ten; and very likely that one in ten will be a Samaritan, — one who, in her former state, was full of sin; or a man who, before his conversion, was one of the vilest of the vile. You will often find pure and perfect love there when you may not find it anywhere else. I thank God that, in this congregation, there are many who consistently and cheerfully give up their substance to the Lord, — one in ten, — “but where are the nine?” I thank God that, in this congregation, there are many earnest workers, so that the Sabbath-schools in the neighbourhood are mainly supplied by our congregation. This is good, u but where are the nine?” I thank God for those men who stand in the street, and preach, and for those brothers and sisters who distribute tracts, or in other ways seek to serve their Master. This is noble of you, — but how many do it? “Where are the nine?” Summon the church-members, march them all along, and let the officer’s eye run down the ranks, and he will say, “Yes, there is one there who serves his Master well. Stand out. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. You may go on.” Here comes another, — “Yes, this man does live for the cause of Christ. You can stand out, too. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. You may go on; you do nothing at all.” I am afraid the average is even less in some churches; and I might, if I were addressing some congregations, not only say, “Where are the nine?” but, “Where are the ninety-nine?” for ninety-nine out of a hundred among some professors do not live to God with zeal, with fire, with earnestness, and with fervour. Nay, my brethren, when you fetch out such men as Brainerd, when you bring into the front ranks such men as Henry Martyn, such evangelists as Whitefield and Wesley, such toilsome missionaries of the cross as Robert Moffat or John Williams, you may say, after you have looked at them, “Yes, these do well; they owe much to God, and they live as if they felt it.” But where are the ninety-nine? Where are the nine hundred and ninety-nine? We all owe as much as they; but oh, how little we do! The ground has been ploughed as much, watered as much, and sown as well, but we do not. bring forth twenty-fold, while they bring forth a hundred.
“Where are the nine?” Come now, I should not like to leave this point until I have found out some of the nine. Are there not some of my own church-members who are doing just nothing? You do not help the Sunday-school. We require a number of young men and women to go to Kent-street Ragged-schools to teach on Sabbath-days, and that is one reason why I want to find out where the nine are. There is a noble field of labour amidst, the poverty and degradation of Kent-street, and I think we, as a church, ought to look after that locality. “Where are the nine?” Am I not addressing some who are doing nothing for Christ? When brethren now and then say to me, “Well, sir, what, shall we do?” I usually suspect that they are rather lazy, for an industrious man soon finds plenty to do in such a city as this. But if there be any of the nine present, let me call them out. For your own comfort’s sake, for the world’s sake, for Christ’s sake, for souls’ sake, because men are dying, time is flying, eternity is hasting, come, I pray you, come forth, you that are of the nine. One feels sometimes, in prospect of death, like the venerable Bede, who, when he had nearly translated the Gospel of John, said to the young man who was writing from his dictation, “Write fast, write fast, for I am dying. How far are you now? How many verses remain?” “So many.” “Quicker, quicker,” said he, “write more quickly, for I am dying.” When at length he said, “I have come to the last verse;” the good old man folded his arms, sang the Doxology, and fell asleep in Jesus. Quickly, brother, quickly, you will never get through the chapter if you do not work and write quickly. Quickly, quickly, your time of dying is so near; and then, when you have done, if you have worked quickly for Christ, though it is not of debt but of grace, you will be able to say, “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,” and with the Doxology on your quivering lip you will go to sing the Doxology in sweeter strains above.
Having thus somewhat roughly handled professors of religion, I am going to address those who have received, special favours from God. Like the ten lepers, there are many in the world who have had very special favours. How many are present to-night who have had fever, cholera, or some sickness which appeared to be unto death! I bless God that, when I was last sitting to see enquirers, a very considerable number traced their conversion to sick-beds; they were there aroused; and they afterwards came up to God’s house, —
“To pay the vows
Their souls in anguish made.”
Yes, those are the ones; typified by the Samaritan, “but where are the nine?” Is there not one of them under the gallery there, to the right hand, he who was nearly drowned at sea, and, just then, oh, how he vowed that, if God would spare him, he would live to God’s service. But he is one of the nine. Have I not another yonder, who was given, up by the doctors, and, like Hezekiah, turned his face to the wall, and said, “Lord, only let me live, and I will be a different man”? But, if there be any difference, he has been rather worse than better. There is another of the nine. I need not go out to find the other seven; they are all here. They have some of them been sick, some of them have suffered from some accident, some have undergone operations, some have passed through imminent peril both on land and sea, and some have had their lives preserved — I think I see them now, — to a very advanced period of life. “Where are the nine?” There is one of the nine here; he has passed his threescore years and ten, and while some of his age have been brought, to know the Lord by reason of his goodness and kindness in thus lengthening their span, he still remains, and does not give glory to God. O souls, to lie to God is to lie with a vengeance, — to promise to him, and not to perform. What! is God to be played with? Will you play fast and loose with him? Darest thou befool thyself with the Most High, and promise him this and that, and then break thy vow? In the name of God, ye nine, I cite you to make your appearance at the last great bar, except ye now turn from the error of your ways. May the Spirit of God turn you, for otherwise, when the question is asked, “Where are the nine?” you must be dragged forward, and your vows, and bonds, and privileges shall be all urged against you, and shall be swift witnesses against you for ever.
“Where are the nine?” I may remind you of the common mercies that we all of us enjoy. Fed each day by divine bounty, clothed by heaven’s charity, supplied with breath by God, there are some who live to praise him, some who give back that breath in praise which God prolongs in mercy, who spend that life to his honour which his long-suffering permits to last. But these are but one in ten, shall I say one in ten thousand? “Where are the nine?” Here are some of them; men who live upon God, but never live to God. Men who go from morning to night without prayer; who roll out of bed in the morning, and get to their labour, and roll into it at night, and fall asleep again, but never utter, never feel a “God be thanked for this day’s favour,” never a breathing of the heart towards the God who is in heaven; like brutes they live, like brutes they will die; only, unlike brutes, they will rise again, and receive, for the deeds done in the body, the due reward of the evil that they have done. “Where are the nine?” Let the question provoke you to weep over your ingratitude, and lead you to turn to God.
Then again, to u se the question another way, where are the nine who have listened to the gospel? Lately, the Lord has been very gracious to our city. Our preachers have not been quite so dead and dull as they were once. The theatres have echoed with the name of Jesus; men like Radcliffe, and North, with. Richard Weaver, chief and foremost, and Mr. Denham Smith, have preached the Word with power, and from among the crowds who have gone in and out of the theatres, some have been converted to God, — “but where are the nine?” “Where are the nine?” And in this house, too, with its aisles and its seats thronged so constantly, how many thousands listen to our voice! Yes, I thank God, some not in vain, for some of all sorts, of every rank and condition, have believed in Jesus; — but, still, “where are the nine?” Christians, here is a solemn question for you. There is much good being done in London just now, but we question whether all the Evangelical labour in London is carried on by so much as one in ten. Then, “where are the nine?” When I was in some of the back streets in the neighbourhood of Kent-street last week, I was very pleased, as I went along, to notice in one little house, “Cottage meetings held here.” A little further on, a Ragged-school; a little further on, “a prayer-meeting held here twice a week.” I could hardly see a street, however low, that seemed to be without some traces of religious effort and action; you could not have stated this seven years ago. I believe the signs of the time are favourable; but yet the effort put forth is not at all commensurate with the dire necessity of the age. You do much; the City Mission does much; your tract-distributing, despite all that is said against it, does much; your street preaching does much more than critics will allow. I believe that there is more good being done by the preaching in the street than by the preaching within walls, with some few exceptions. Go on with what is being done, but multiply your agencies, for let this question goad you on, “What of the nine? what of the nine?”
O dear friends, if we could but hope that one in ten in this great city was converted, we might set the bells ringing far more merrily than when the Princess passed through the streets; but I fear we have not got to that; however, if we had, it would be a solemn question for us to ash, “What of the nine?” I am afraid some of that nine come here. You are here to-night unconverted. O dear friends, do you recollect when you were young? There were ten of you; you are the only one left. What of the nine? They are all dead. As far as you know, they are all lost, and you are the only one left. Oh, that God would make you his to-night! Or it may be that you have been listening long to the Word of God; and you have seen one converted, and another converted, but there are you and your other companions still unblessed. Oh, that you, the nine, might be brought in! We must pray to God to convert the nine; we cannot let him go with the one, we must have the nine brought in. The day will come when Christ shall sit on the throne of his glory, and there shall come up before him the ones, and he shall say, “Come, ye blessed;” but after he has done that, he may well say, “I gave breath to more than these; I sent the gospel to more than these; I was merciful to more than these. Where are the nine?” And then, ye nine, ye must make your appearance. And he will say to you, “I fed you, but you lived not to me; I called you, but you would not come; I invited you, but you would not turn; and now, ye nine, depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” But “hope” is the word for to-night, even for the nine. May God be pleased to give you hope within, while I utter hope without! Jesus died; his death is your life; trust him, and you are saved; rest on him with your whole weight; throw yourself flat upon him; have nothing to do with standing in your own strength, but prostrate at the foot of his dear cross lay yourself down, and you shall not be numbered with the nine, but you shall return to give glory to God, even though hitherto you may have been a Samaritan, a stranger, the chief of sinners. May God add his blessing, for Jesus’ sake! Amen. | https://www.spurgeon.org/resource-library/sermons/where-are-the-nine/ | 1,659,925,578 | null |
Sorry for the Bye-Bye Birdie song but Facebook has reached 500 million users this July. That’s a larger population than the US, Mexico and France combined. This recent surge of 100 million users was in a short 5 month span where as the first 100 million users took four years. So the main question to ask yourself now is…is your company’s Facebook page up to par? Being on Facebook gives you access to 500 million people, it’s hard to even fathom, right?
This is just a reminder to us all how powerful the internet is. We all have to be careful about our public image. Within seconds, the entire 500 million people of Facebook can know something that could help or hurt your organization. So make sure you use the internet wisely. Connect with your publics and be friendly. Be open with communication rather than closed. With a potential audience of 500 million, make sure your Facebook image is a good one. | https://keystoneclick.com/resource-library/blog/we-love-you-facebook-oh-yes-we-do-we-love-you-facebook-and-well-be-true | 1,659,987,565 | null |
You cannot say that water has no memory / god does not exist / horoscopes are rubbish / whatever just like that... Remember what Shakespear said: “There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy”!
Well, I can. I so can. Because this argument is invalid...
I’m not saying Shakespear was wrong there. In his time it certainly nobody dreamt of quantum physics or black holes – and yet, they are there. But the problem appears when somebody tries to use this (or similar) quote not to broaden someone’s horizons, but to “prove” some nonsense.
How do you best say, why such “proof” sucks? With the fact that it might theoretically “prove” anything.
Here you go: the king of Cambodia keeps six hundred clones of Mother Theresa in his dungeons and makes them take care of poor orphans, all in order to take over for himself all the good karma that the clones produce. Sounds totally absurd, doesn’t it? It should, since I just came up with that, without any premise. But hey, “there are more things than are dreamt”, so open your damn mind!
“Proof”, that can confirm literally everything (including contradictory statements) is total crap. Please, don’t use it. | https://avris.it/blog/argumentum-ad-shakespear.lite | 1,660,044,519 | null |
A Chilean textile engineer, Ramón Sauma has been collecting art over 30 years. He is President and Co-Founder of Colección Ca.Sa, based in Santiago de Chile, a private collection of Latin American contemporary art, with a focus on post-1960 Chilean art. Started 25 years ago, hand in hand by Sauma (current chairman of the board) and Gabriel Carvajal (Director), the Foundation relies on three core principles: dissemination, promotion and education in contemporary art. In 2016, the “Ca.Sa Award” was born, which seeks to reward an emerging artist from the Ch.Aco and ArtLima fairs for the production of an artwork. In 2018, the Foundation established a 3-year-agreement with Guggenheim Museum in New York with view to donation of works. | https://www.talkinggalleries.com/project/ramon-sauma/ | 1,660,564,893 | null |

I went shopping at Longs Drugs (CVS) in Moiliili, the one that moved into the former Star Supermarket building. Star Supermarket had been there for eons and it left a void in the neighborhood after Times bought out the Star Supermarket chain and decided to close the Moiliili branch and there's hasn't been a new tenant in the vacated space for a while. This Longs Drugs branch was located only 2 city blocks down the same street but it's that much closer for the University of Hawaii student's residing around the area just downhill from the Manoa campus. Plus the old location of the Moiliili Longs Drugs was across the street from Stadium Park, formerly Honolulu Stadium years back. The stoplight-less crosswalk that you cross to get to Longs Drugs from the Stadium Park side was about the dangerous crosswalk in town, so it's safer for pedestrians to cross the street at the new Longs Drugs location.
There's a drive-through pharmacy window on one side of the building which I've never seen before. Since Longs Drugs is open 24-hours, there's a Bank of Hawaii branch inside Longs, open 24-hours too. Who has money. Just thinking out loud. When I went outside I saw this local guy taking out his ukulele from what I surmise was a ukulele bag. It wasn't like a guitar case, it was cloth. Then he puts his pooch inside the bag with only the pooch's head sticking out taking in the world. Oh, the bag was inside a shopping cart and now the pooch is riding inside the shopping cart if you get the picture. I guess the owner thought that the store might object to someone pushing his pooch in a shopping cart through the aisles, however can't simply leave pooch tied up outside. The owner saw me looking at the situation as he passed by, said something incomprehensible, and we both laughed out loud simultaneously. Then no sooner had the owner and the pooch entered the front door, this older guy and his wife passes by with their pooch wearing a sleeveless jacket, of sorts. The only difference is that second pooch is riding with his paws up on the front of the shopping cart in plain sight. If only pooches could talk.

That is too hilarious! I'd love to have seen it. Too bad you couldn't get a photo. I remember the Star Market. I used to go there all the time when I was at the University in the good ol' days.

Great story! Could I say, "Only in Hawaii?"
I don't get it about all the big stores opening here. A big fancy Safeway, a Walgreen's, a Target: there may be people, but there is no money!

You should see the pooches in Bloomingdale's in Manhattan. When I first moved to New York, it was before the "dogs in bags" fad. They were everywhere. Perfectly coiffed; prim and proper. I guess they figure if you'll drop thousands on clothes that day, they'll love you and your dog. Now, Longs/CVS on the other hand....not too much to buy in there to have customer service like that. Is the Bank manned 24/7? Or is it just a "bank branch" name slapped over an ATM machine?

That's too bad about your economic situation.
Here in VT, we just had the First Lady come over for a $5,000/plate dinner and 100 people turned out because... of... all the multi-millionaire farmers we have who vote Democrat? (Might have to get back to you on some of these details. Couldn't possibly have been actual Vermonters at this dinner.)
Anyway, dinner was @ 6PM and she was on a plane headed back home by 7PM. A quick 1/2-million dollar take. Feel the love there.
Plus it rained all day. Vermont was sure doing its thing.

Ann- it's a real live bank branch at Longs. I think sooner or later this Longs will be a 24-hour mall with other vendors.
owner- Can't stand Michelle. I'll leave it at that. Okay, then. Well, she acts like she was voted into her position, when truth be told, she didn't receive a single vote.
Nate- she sure seems to make the most of the presidential plane. So, where's Michelle off to next month with her entourage? | http://www.hotelwaikiki.net/2011/06/latest-news.html?showComment=1309588365252 | 1,660,504,209 | 1,641,939,482 |

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God, Amen, replace us his grace and blessing now and forever, Amen . I congratulate you on the Christmas and New Year ‘s beloved 2017 .
I wish to send greetings for all the martyrs who shed their blood to become the Petrine ministry of the Church and the Church of the martyrs Bchweathm we live and serve, and pray for our children infected with the Lord in order to complete their recovery .
And I would like to mention their names .. …… The names of the martyrs mentioned in the Sermon.
On my behalf and on behalf of the Holy Synod of the Coptic and all bodies of congratulations and thank the presence of Mr. President Abdel Fattah al – Sisi, and apologized for the lack of space for reasons of restoration . Then His Holiness and Ambassart bodies and agencies and the names of well wishers said . I would like at the outset to send greetings and congratulations to all the bishops and priests in the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Jerusalem, and Australia, and we welcome all those who honored us.
Christmas holiday it inaugurates its new year . We celebrate Christmas and happy to participate with all our loved ones celebrations of Christmas, I would like to remind you that when God created man in the beginning Find him all the sources of the sun, moon, stars, animals and beasts and the sea, water resources and energy sources and all human needs on the ground, nature, and handed it over to Adam king crested, but Adam break the commandment began linear spread and spread to all brutal forms and man became wells desires with the spread of humans, spread some virtues such as giving and cooperation, but spread them of sin and become a human exhibit some virtues with linear, and I want to tell you about a virtue lacking in human It is a virtue to look to the skies.
It is astonishing that all human beings see the sky … but they differ in vision . … Some resort to it sometimes, and some people do not look to them, and some people see it and do not focus on them, and very few people who look them . But the man became oblivious to the sky.
In the Christmas story with characters we meet focused on the sky .
The first of them : the sky figures
1 – Mary : was pure girl living in the temple and serve God . Mary was a saint, which is looking to the sky when she came her skin she would give birth to Jesus without a man, and would have been impossible in humans flag, responded to the good news because they were looking to the skies .
2 – Sponsors :- .. Sponsors of ordinary trustees who were looking at the sky at night … And there appeared to them and the angel said unto them, Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, because they were looking to the skies . This was in Bethlehem and Bethlehem Hebrew word, and means house of bread.
3 – Magi :- Cano sages from the east, were they look to the sky and when they saw the star signifies the birth of the king of Hmilo their gifts and went to Bethlehem, lifting up their eyes to the sky and to the star that guided them from the birthplace of the Lord Jesus … and Hmilo him gold, frankincense and myrrh and gifts does not provide for a child.
4- Simeon :- He works translated from Greek into Hebrew … During the Septuagint, when he translates the words ” Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear, ” he wanted to replace the word virgin word of a woman, but an angel appeared to him and told him what type is in front of you … and ravenously vision of Christ.
And at the age of forty days, he could not carry on his arms Christ and famously said, ” Now, sir, launches your servant in peace, ” and was looking forward to heaven until he saw Christ .
5 – Hanna prophetess : and she was a widow and had become a widow, looking to the sky .
Human preoccupied with the ground and floors and everything is on the ground, his Excellency limited quickly ends . … But coming from the sky lasting happiness, so we pray and say the phrase ” as in heaven … as well as on the ground “…

To: Regulated Mortgage Companies
Based on the Governor’s mandate regarding non-essential state employees, the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “Department”) is currently operating remotely.
To minimize the impact our remote operations may have on the ability of licensed mortgage loan originators (“MLOs”) to comply with bond requirements, effective immediately and until further notice, the Department will accept MLO Individual and Originating Entity bond and bond related documentation electronically.
Going forward, in addition to mailing original documents to the Department as required, regulated entities can submit MLO Surety Bond(s) and bond related document electronically to [email protected]. The subject line of the email should include the name and NMLS number of the MLO for whom the information is being submitted. The body of the e-mail should contain your name and contact information, as well as the specifics relating to the nature and reason for your submission. For Originating Entity bonds, sponsors must include specific details in the email regarding the purpose for which the bond or certification documents are being provided. | https://esmba.org/Covid19links/8884431 | 1,660,055,417 | null |

With the last few snowstorms, many Hillcrest students have noticed some drawings on the football field.
Hillcrest Assistant Principal Jan Hansen states that the new building might affect the things etched in the snow. “This is the first year we’ve had multiple [drawings] because it’s so visual,” Hansen stated. “We have an audience now. In the old building, the field was far away from everybody, and you didn’t have an audience on all floors that could see it.”
There’s been a wide variety of things drawn in the football field: hearts, stars, body parts, messages towards teachers and students, and a swastika.
“It makes me confused. You [the student who drew it] know the history of the swastika,” said Hillcrest freshman Gabrielle Howard. “There are some things you shouldn’t make jokes about. Like, I understand about dark humor and stuff. But I think the whole swastika is a little too much.”
Using the security cameras, Hillcrest staff was able to find many of the students that drew certain symbols on the football field. However, cameras aren’t the only way they found students.
“We have lots of reports and anonymous tips and a lot of people that say this is me, and this is what’s going on,” Hansen stated.
After finding many of the students, the staff gave out different kinds of solutions and punishments. An example of this was that a group of the students had to go out on the football field and write positive messages on it for a whole week.
“If you’re going to go draw out on the snow, make it a positive note,” Hansen said.
“You should be careful,” Howard agreed. “People are going to see what they see and have their own interpretation of that.”
With winter already here and some more snow on the way, there will probably be more drawings on the football field, both good and bad. | https://huskypawprint.com/14764/news/football-field-drawings/ | 1,660,239,754 | null |

In Norse Mythology, Freya is referred to as the Goddess of love and beauty: And nothing reflects this more effortlessly than the timeless image of Freya Pruitt; editor in chief of TTW Magazine. Whether she is walking a Red Carpet in L.A; interviewing a ballerina at The NYC Ballet, or passionately speaking to thousands at public events, Freya is simply Freya: “The Freya.” Known for her intoxicating laugh and magnetic smile, Freya is loved by everyone she meets. She has a heart of gold and is a champion for Indie musicians around the world, as well as an inspiration for all people faced with adversity. By telling stories we can all relate to, Freya is able to touch the multitudes; young or old, rich or poor, celebrities, kings or queens, Freya sees all people exactly in the same light; simply…as… people. In Freya’s eyes, human greatness lies in the power of the heart, in a persons’ ability to feel and to give; to love, endure and face each day with courage, faith and determination. Virtually anyone who has a challenging story to tell feels comfortable with Freya. As Freya begins the interview process, she somehow extracts the most personal and intimate hidden space within the person and brings it to the surface. Some laugh, some cry, but ALL respond and ALL wind up revealing their story like never before. The ability to search deep inside a person’s soul and ultimately find the depth and beauty of their spirit; is truly a gift. Maybe it is that electric personality, loving spirit and heart of Freya that puts everyone at ease. Somehow they know Freya will always be searching to eternally find the beauty in even the ugliest of circumstances. By bringing the darkness to the light, a great weight is lifted off a person and somehow, during the interview process, the interview itself becomes a catharsis of sorts. Once again, reflecting on the gift: Freya believes to make a difference you need to BE the difference.
Born into a highly creative and successful family, Freya’s Mother, Luba Tcheresky was a famous opera singer and is now one of the most renowned voice teachers in NYC. Freya’s brother, Richard Sortomme was a concert violinist and has evolved into one of the most sought after classical composers of our time. Freya’s father, Richard Sortomme was a brilliant water-colorist and one of the original “Taos 7.” Freya’s sister-in law, Carol Webb, has been a violinist with the NY Philharmonic for over 35 years! This is a hard act to follow, but somehow Freya took their lead and flew into the record and film business; cutting records in the 80’s, performing rock concerts, writing over 100 songs and not surprisingly, went in a completely different direction than her classically trained family! For those who know her personally, this comes as no surprise! There is a great mystique about this vivacious woman with the huge spirit. She is somehow timeless and touches all of humanity with her smile, hugs and huge heart. She has devoted 8 years of her life to the publishing of TTW Magazine and writes the entire 84 page magazine HERSELF!! Yes! HERSELF! She produces every photo-shoot, conducts every interview, over-sees the printing process, designs the basic art work then after release, promotes each publication around the country; walking red carpets, appearing on TV and radio shows, and performing in public speaking engagements. Yes, there is only ONE Freya, and THAT Freya never stops looking for the next story, the next interview, the next chance to champion a great cause; to help the broken-hearted and the lost, to offer encouragement and love to all she touches.
But our Freya has seen much pain and suffering in her own life too. She was married to the love of her life Reggie Pruitt for 18 ½ years. He was a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran who loved his wife passionately. They were so close, friends and family called them: “Freggie!” Tragically, Reggie died on their anniversary; his spirit simply gave up the ghost of the horror of Vietnam…he had had enough. Haunted by the silent killer PTSD, he went off to die alone in Wyoming. Two days before he died, he called Freya and said: “I love you…I did you a favor.” Then, he hung up the phone…and died. Freya will never forget this tragic loss and knows in her heart this did not have to happen. She is now championing a major campaign to get the much needed help to our veterans with PTSD. In her inevitable style, she will lead with her heart and love will truly find a way. Freya will tell you; love never dies: Love is born out of its own desire to love again. And we can assure you, “The Freya” is out in the world spreading her love around in a big way; with that big shining smile and that great laugh; spreading joy and inspiration through the power of love, charisma, talent and an un-yielding dedication to humanity. Freya IS living proof that love IS the only answer. Love is the ultimate power and love will NEVER fail. Love will always endure because that kind of love comes from God Himself…the great Creator of the canvas of life: called love…called Freya….called mankind…called you. So if you want your personal introduction to Freya Pruitt, all you have to do is click: And, there she’ll be…smiling that big shining smile directly at you…and hey! Who knows!!! You better watch out! YOU might just be her next interview! Enjoy, the one and only; Freya | http://ttwmagazine.com/freya/freya-in-the-media/ | 1,660,784,343 | null |
The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star is set to play a renowned Texas soccer coach in Dallas Sting, a movie about a Dallas-based girls soccer team that made headlines in the 1908s as the first American soccer team to win a major international tournament, according to WFAA. McConaughey will play "Bill Kinder," Dallas Sting co-founder, a "Rocky-esque" underdog from Oklahoma who has never coached a soccer team before. The movie will be directed by Kari Skogland, the director for the upcoming Cleopatra biopic staring Gal Gadot.
The Dallas Sting, founded in 1973, are the country's first and oldest all-girls soccer club, WFAA reported. It was the first women's team to travel outside the U.S. in 1976 and then became the first American girls soccer team to play in Europe. They were also the only American team invited to compete in the Women's World Invitational Tournament two years later. Adding to the team's accolades, the Dallas Sting represented the U.S. in the first-ever women's FIFA tournament — and won. Four players were invited to join the USWNT roster in 1991 for the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup. Today, The Sting is still active — tournaments and showcases are prevalent in Texas, as well as youth soccer divisions across the U.S.
Dallas Sting is set to begin filming in New Orleans this fall, according to Deadline. This is familiar territory for McConaughey, who won his first and only Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club, a Dallas-based movie filmed in New Orleans. | https://981kvet.iheart.com/content/2022-08-02-matthew-mcconaughey-to-play-renowned-texas-coach-in-upcoming-movie/ | 1,660,253,469 | null |

In last week's NY Sun, former Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro laid out an impressive rationale for why the mayor is playing with fire on the alteration of term limits: "As mayor, Mr. Bloomberg could have stayed true to his word and appointed a mayoral charter commission to put a term limits proposition on the November ballot for voter approval. Instead, according to published reports, he did what a typical politician would do: He had a poll conducted that determined that, as popular a mayor as he is, New Yorkers overwhelmingly still favor term limits. Going the referendum route the mayor would hit a dead end."
So, continuing in this vein, Bloomberg starts to rope-a-dope the issue; with the story in last Friday's Times that his aides are not in sync with any third term antics. How many folks believe that this story is genuine? The key line in the piece was when Sheekey, et al, said that they'd, of course, follow the mayor's wishes-whatever they turned out to be. So in our view, this is all a phony exercise in insulating Bloomberg from ant direct accountability-as he plays with the idea and inveigles the gullible minions over at the other side of city hall.
As far as that's concerned, we haven't seen so much self serving going on since Horn & Hardart was in its heyday in NYC; and that definitely includes the mayor. Mastro hits it here: "Ultimately, that's the problem for Mr. Bloomberg. He won over New Yorkers as the anti-politician — the incorruptible private businessman who was above politics and would always put the public's interests first. Yet his latest machinations seem like politics as usual motivated by personal self-interest. He risks irreparably tainting his brand by so blatantly reversing himself and ignoring the will of the people on term limits."
So what's a mayor to do? Well, stir the pot and get others to do his bidding; and let the issue percolate without his direct finger prints on it. Isn't it time, then, to bell the cat? This is all a sophisticated effort by Bloomberg to end run his definitive statements on term limits-and he's already waffling like an old pol.
Once again, Mastro's right on point with his observation that New York can do very well-thank you-with a new cast of characters. There's no need to cry havoc: "Today, there is no such crisis in our city — only a popular mayor at a crossroad. That Mr. Bloomberg should even be at this crossroad is proof that term limits have served their purpose, giving new faces a chance to serve and reinvigorating our city government with fresh perspectives, for he almost certainly never would have run for that office had term limits not created the opportunity." | https://momandpopnyc.blogspot.com/2008/09/mastroful-performance-on-term-limits.html | 1,660,131,246 | 1,638,670,605 |

This March, Brian Gubbels and Matthew Neuhaus of Datashield received their Certified Secure Destruction Specialist accreditation from the National Association for Information Destruction. Gubbels and Neuhaus are the first from the Omaha area to receive the accreditation and did so with 26 other individuals from around the country.
CSDS Accreditation
Launched in 2010 “to promote and acknowledge an individual’s competency in a range of subject areas related to the secure destruction of information and the secure destruction of other items,” the NAID’s CSDS was created to set a standard of high-level understanding of data and document destruction for those in the document destruction field. The examination for the accreditation tests individuals’ knowledge of safe document destruction practices, legislation surrounding data protection, risk management, and other general questions related to the many issues pertaining to secure destruction of documents and data.
As Robert Johnson, NAID’s executive director notes, “For some organizations, the policy on information destruction amounts to a single sentence, advising employees to destroy sensitive information properly before it is discarded. In today’s social and business climate, that simply does not provide sufficient direction to employees who are dealing with many forms of media from any number of sources.”
Johnson adds, “because of the consequences of improper disposal, regulators, auditors, courts of law, the media and public sentiment are insisting on a more thorough approach to information disposal.”
The CSDS certification is just one part of this more thorough approach, as it provides customers with the assurance that the individual handling their data and documents has a clear knowledge of safe practices relating to document destruction—a critical assurance in today’s business world. As the program continues to expand, the NAID hopes that the CSDS accreditation will become the standard for individual excellence in the document destruction industry.
Gubbels and Neuhaus plan to stay current on the most up-to-date document and data destruction practices as the industry continues to grow, and are confident that their recent CSDS accreditation will contribute to Datashield’s commitment to excellence. Datashield is one of the Omaha area’s only NAID AAA certified document destruction companies, and is committed to staying at the forefront of the document destruction industry. | https://datashieldcorp.com/gubbels-neuhaus-csds-accreditation/ | 1,660,918,090 | null |

Handling medications in clinical medicine is difficult. One of the easy wins for information technology in medicine is electronic prescribing. Our colleagues in general practice have had such systems for many years but those of us working in hospitals have lagged behind.
In hospital, many of us prescribe on paper prescriptions – sometimes I use a proper prescription when I am starting a drug that is hospital-only – on most occasions, hospital doctors now write a GP communication note or simply add the recommendation to a clinical letter.
There is tremendous value in electronic prescribing. It is one of the quick-wins for information technology in healthcare. There are many advantages.
Advantages of keeping track of medications electronically
For me, keeping track of patients is critical. If you are non-medical, you might think that once you are under ongoing follow-up with a hospital doctor, there is some automatic system to let us know that you missed your last appointment or that your appointment was cancelled. In fact, you’d assume we also had a system to track your diagnoses so that we could potentially find all of our patients with, say, Parkinson’s disease. Sadly, this isn’t common; the way many clinicians handle this is to keep a spreadsheet with names and diagnoses or use something like the British Neurological Surveillance Unit (BNSU) to report rare cases seen.
I have a number of patients with a range of disorders on high-dose corticosteroids. Similarly, I have patients on other immunotherapy drugs (e.g. methotrexate) for whom I need to know that their blood monitoring is performed appropriately and that their blood indices are stable. For me, knowing a) who those patients are and b) when I last saw them, are critical for patient-safety. Too often, we avoid disaster simply through good fortune rather than any systematic approach to patient safety.

Here in Cardiff, we now use a patient electronic health record system to track all such diagnostic, treatment, interventional and outcome data. I have been developing it since 2009 and we now have over 15,000 patients recorded. It is accessed across Wales, mainly for neurological diseases, but we also track a number of rare diseases. Many of these rare disorders are rare individually, but collectively, they are common! There is a sophisticated access-control mechanism into which groups of patients and groups of clinical staff are linked by virtue of clinical services or research projects, so that access is limited to the group of patients to which you are responsible.
Topics to be covered in future blog posts are information governance and how to implement SNOMED-CT. Both difficult but both solved!
Electronic prescribing and the NHS
To start thinking about electronic prescribing and recording of current and past medication, I suggest you first have a look at the NHS DM&D (dictionary of medicines and devices) and a good look at the implementation guidance. There are a number of complexities. In hospital, we are encouraged to prescribe using generic drug names rather than branded drug names. This means that “prescribing” is a distinct process to dispensing. In hospital, the dispensing is performing by a nurse on the ward and a pharmacist for outpatients. Dispensing turns the generic prescription into an appropriate formulation. There are a number of issues to consider during dispensing including differences between formulations (actual medicinal products – AMPs) and issues of cost. Most hospital doctors are not used to selecting appropriate formulations and instead prescribe by generic drug name and dose. A general practitioner prescribes using products. For more information on this,
For example, a hospital doctor may prescribe “ramipril 7.5mg od”. This means the patient should receive 7.5mg of this drug once per day.
A general practitioner would prescribe “ramipril 5mg 1 tablet od” and “ramipril 2.5mg 1 tablet od”.
There are additional complexities. For instance, some hospital clinicians wish to prescribe by product because of differences between formulations. For example, many of us who work with patients with epilepsy prescribe “epilim chrono”. While the active ingredient is sodium valproate, different products may vary in terms of bioavailability / absorption and so we would not want our patient’s medications to be swapped around – imagine a situation in which a generic formulation is substituted in a patient who is seizure free and the substitution results in a seizure when the patient is driving!
Another issue is that medication data is already held in general practitioner systems and so it should be possible to import that list of current and past medications into hospital systems automatically. Having different implementations / models of electronic prescribing in primary and secondary care complicates such automatic import and export of medications.
The NHS DM&D implementation guidance suggests a 3-step prescribing process for each drug. Step 1 is specifying the drug and the route (e.g. oral, inhaled, intravenous). Step 2 involves reviewing the rules for that specific drug and step 3 involves identifying appropriate sub-types of that medication for safe prescribing.
As you might imagine, this is quite an involved and potentially time-consuming process. However, prescribing is potentially dangerous and should be performed with caution and careful consideration. However, different degrees of rigour are required depending on whether the electronic record is acting as a prescription or simply an electronic record of what the patient is taking or an advice letter.
For example, in outpatient clinic, most clinicians will want to quickly record the current and past medications so that we can easily answer questions like “Which anticonvulsant therapies have we already tried in this patient?”. As such, the strict rigour of an electronic prescribing system can be relaxed depending on use-case.
My implementation
I’ve implemented a system to rapidly enter an existing list of medications and make changes to that medication list. See PatientCare medication entry and Advanced medication entry for two video demonstrations. Here we enter a list of medications which are automatically mapped into SNOMED-CT DM&D drugs. There is a semantic understanding for drugs so that programmatically, we can tell whether a patient is on a thiazide diuretic or anticonvulsant – ie. this is not simply a free-text list! In addition, there is dose equivalence so that the system recognises that 1000mg is the same as 1g etc. Once the list is edited, the software calculates the changes – drugs changed, started, stopped etc. and then applies those changes to the longitudinal record of medication so that there is a complete list of all current and past medications that have been used.
There is a balance of speed and efficiency for expert users and hand-holding for beginners. As such, there is an older pick-list based system which allows users to add drugs manually using drop-downs controls. However, expert users should be allowed to follow a more efficient process.
This balance requires careful planning to ensure process safety and yet remain quick and usable in a busy outpatient clinic or in the assessment unit.
The result
Not only do I now record diagnostic information for my patients (SNOMED-CT coding) but it is now feasible to record all current and past treatments. Such information is very helpful for a range of conditions including Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy.
In addition, because the software recognises that some drugs are unchanged, some have been stopped and some have been started, we can now automatically generate summary reports of encounters. This results in a huge reduction in administrative support requirements as rather than dictating medication changes, the computer does it automatically and in a well-presented summary.
I’ve just released the new version of the PatientCare application that contains this new medication functionality – this is available across NHS Wales. It is much better to have a rapid development lifecycle in which one gets early feedback on design, reviews early implementations and we iterate rapidly. By rapidly, I mean going from initial plans to mock-ups to an early version to this current (“finished”?) version within 3 weeks. I’m looking forward to more feedback from our other users. | https://www.medicalnerds.com/thinking-about-medications/ | 1,660,876,736 | null |

Juventus finally debuted its long-awaited collaboration with Palace and adidas last night after months of speculation, combining to create one of the most street-ready drops football has ever seen.
The collab has been rumoured since earlier this year and is headlined by a special edition ‘Fourth Kit’ that brings back Juve’s iconic black and white stripes, and accents them with a bold neon green colour. The Palace logo features on the kit underneath the adidas logo and is prominent throughout the collection, which also includes tracksuits, training wear, scarves and hats.
The club teased the drop when the players arrived for last night’s fixture with Genoa in an all-new pearl white tracksuit with dual Palace and adidas branding. The team later took to the pitch for a warm up in pre-match wear with the same design cues, before finally revealing the new kit seconds before kick off.
This is a huge move for Juventus, who are chasing down PSG’s status as the most fashion-forward club in football, and even released their own streetwear collection last year.
For London skate label Palace, a move into football isn’t wholly unexpected. The imprint has previously riffed on England shirts with Umbro, co-produced footballs with adidas, and even created a football shirt inspired by one which the Old Lady wore in the 80s.
Take a look at our first look at the collection in the shots below, and keep it locked for full release details when they drop. | https://versus.uk.com/2019/10/juventus-finally-debuted-game-changing-collaboration-palace-adidas-last-night/ | 1,660,393,502 | null |
“So sad to hear this news (because) the late Judge and her family had contributed immensely to our country. In law, in academia, in sports, especially football and in a lot of community activities,” Parkop said.
“She was an outstanding lawyer, a resolute and very fair judge and also a great footballer representing PNG in women’s soccer.”
The body of the late Justice Davani is yet to be repatriated into the country.
Justice Davani was the first female Papua New Guinean judge appointed to the bench in 2001.
Sir Salamo Injia, on behalf of the Judiciary, offered their condolence to her honour’s husband, John Davani, her children, relatives and friends, in a statement yesterday.
Born in Wau, Morobe Province, on June 3, 1960, the late judge was from Dorom village, Rigo district, and Goilala district, in the Central Province.
She is survived by her husband, John Arthur Davani, who is from Northern Province, and four sons.
She practiced as a lawyer since Nov 1984. She started her career with the Public Solicitors office from Nov 1984 to Jan 1987, before she went on a study break in Sydney, Australia, for two years.
From Jan 1989-July 1990, she worked with Namaliu and Co. Lawyers before she joined Gadens Ridgeway Lawyers in Jan 1991.
She made senior associate in Shepherds Lawyers in March 1994 before moving on to Blake Dawson Lawyers in Feb 2000, also as a senior associate. | https://www.looppng.com/content/parkop-pays-tribute-late-justice-davani | 1,660,918,645 | 1,660,913,031 |

Jazz bassist Jimmy Masters has released the CD "When Trees Speak." (Mark Robbins / Courtesy of Jimmy Masters)
Jimmy Masters, a bassist who's been performing jazz in Hampton Roads for decades, recently made a big, bold new move.
He released a first CD under his own name.

"When Trees Speak," a disc that showcases Masters' skills in straight-ahead jazz as well as acoustic folk, was released in July with a series of shows at the club Havana Nights.
"Everything in it's own time," said the 58-year Virginia Beach resident. "I've already gotten airplay on a number of stations around the country and in Australia ... The reaction to the music and the production has been really positive. I've been really happy with it."

Writing for the Raleigh News & Observer, critic Owen Cordle gave the album a positive nod. "This is a diverse jazz album that takes the 'road less traveled,' and makes the journey worthwhile," Cordle wrote.
Local jazz musician and radio host Jae Sinnett has been spinning tunes from disc as part of his show on WHRV-FM (89.5). "I like it, man. He did a great job with it," Sinnett said. "I like the versatility of the songs. I admire the fact that he took a risk and put a folkier tune on there. I think that's what more artists need to do ... Also, there's a good balance of chemistry. It shows that these are musicians who have worked together, they're no strangers. That's one of the smartest things Jimmy did with this record."
In addition to Masters' own upright bass, the album features the saxophone of J.C. Kuhl, guitar from Trey Pollard, piano from both Justin Kauflin and John Toomey, drums from Brian Jones as well as contributions from acoustic music master Bill Gurley and Masters' wife, singer-songwriter Mary Lou Osterhous. Kauflin, Kuhl and Jones will play with Masters when he performs Friday, Sept. 6, at the Williamsburg Library Theatre.
"Bill Gurley and my wife, Mary Lou, have had a huge influence on my desire to play acoustic music," Masters said. "That was in the back of my mind. I was not concerned about having a hardcore jazz record. I wanted to have a record that was a reflection of my musical life and different influences."
Along with Masters-penned jazz tunes "More Than Two, It's Five," and "Nightwalk," the album includes a song written by Osterhous titled "The Storm," as well as an instrumental take on the folk classic "The Water is Wide."
"I like a lot of different kinds of music, I always have," Masters said. "I definitely went through a phase where I was fairly myopic about jazz, but that wore off. I realized I liked all this other music."
As if mixing folk and jazz wasn't experimental enough, Masters adds spoken word performances to a pair of cuts on the album: "Alone in the Field," and "A Flock of Blackbirds."
"It's somewhat influenced by the beat generation scene," Masters said, "You'd have a poet, a bass and a cat sitting there playing bongos. Writers like Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, that whole scene. I read a lot of those guys and it always stuck with me."

Masters said he wanted to make a record to create a tangible legacy. He also hopes the disc opens doors for him on the national jazz scene.
"Of course, that may never happen," he said. "At a minimum, I wanted to document a lot of different music that I love and enjoy playing."

I have always liked Nutella, but I’m not a fan of milk chocolate and wish it were more dark and bittersweet. While I like Nutella, I know I’d love dark chocolate Nutella. So I set out to make a darker version myself. And after reading the amusing news reports of the woman who sued the company because commercials for Nutella implied that it was a healthy breakfast food for her kids, I wondered if I could make a version that is a bit healthier. I wanted to make my dark chocolate hazelnut spread without adding sugar or oil, but I didn’t have much luck finding a recipe online that looked right for me. So here’s my concoction, made simply with nuts, honey, unsweetened cocoa powder, almond milk, vanilla, and salt.
Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
1 cup raw, unsalted hazelnuts
2 1/2 tsp. raw honey
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/8 tsp. salt
Roast hazelnuts on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes (check after 5 minutes and shake them on the sheet for even roasting).
Remove from oven and let cool enough to handle, then remove skin from the nuts with your fingers (or shake the nuts in a covered bowl).
In a food processor, puree the hazelnuts until shiny and smooth, resembling the texture of natural peanut butter.
Add the cocoa powder, salt, honey, and 1/4 cup of the almond milk and puree until smooth. If it needs more moisture, use the remaining almond milk.
Enjoy.
Note: I brought a batch to a dinner party at the home of friends and we spread it on croissants for dessert. They told me they aren’t the biggest fans of Nutella, but they loved this spread.
