Indian food has many health benefits
Being generally low in fat, high in vegetables, legumes and whole grains, fruit and lean meats, Indian food has many health benefits. It is noted for its inclusion of many spices and vegetarian, vegan and non-vegetarian options, as well as its variety of flavours and colours.
So, what makes an Indian diet healthy? In answer to this, let’s take a look at the typical components of an Indian diet:
– High in a wide variety of vegetables and fruit (spinach, carrots, eggplant, mango etc.)
– High in a variety of spices and herbs, such as ginger, garlic and coriander
– Low in saturated fat
– Widely vegetarian
– High in fibre, vitamins and minerals
There are specific components of an Indian diet which have a range of health benefits.
Chickpeas, for example, which are often used in vegetarian curries, are a great source of fibre, zinc, folate and protein, which makes them a healthy factor in a vegetarian Indian diet. Spinach and tomatoes, which are widely used in Indian cuisine, are also known superfoods, containing high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Many Indian sauces and accompaniments are vegetable based, such as Sag aloo (spinach) and Gobhi Aloo (cauliflower with potatoes) making them a healthy choice as the majority do not use cream or cheese.
The minty yoghurt dip raita, made from natural yoghurt, cucumber and mint, is a source of calcium and is a low fat alternative to sauces such as mayonnaise.
Garlic features greatly in Indian cooking, which is said to be good for the heart, as do chili peppers, which are good for the immune system and metabolism.
Indian dishes often use vegetable, sesame and coconut oil rather than butter, which keeps them lower in saturated fat.
Finally, as Indian dishes have such an impacting taste often just a small portion can satisfy taste buds, helping you to consume fewer calories. Indian cuisine’s variety and vibrancy keeps it interesting, which is a healthy component to any cuisine as variety can prevent boredom and overeating.
At Aastha Devotional Indian Restaurant we strive to create an authentic Indian dining experience that brings joy and happiness to our customers. We use the finest ingredients and the best spices to create flavourful and delicious dishes that are inspired by a wholistic approach to food and health.

RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) -- Authorities are investigating a crash involving a YMCA bus in Raleigh on Wednesday evening.
Authorities said the driver of a gray car pulled out onto Lineberry Drive and Mountain Mist Court in the Trailwood Hills neighborhood. That's near I-40 and Gorman Street, south of downtown Raleigh.
The driver pulled out onto the wrong side of the road, authorities said, and crashed head-on into the bus. Officials said 15 students were on the bus at the time of the crash, but none were injured.
Raleigh police said the driver was taken to WakeMed with non-life threatening injuries.
Police haven't said if the driver will face charges.

The technical recession is the one that many of us are feeling right now. It is a recession in the financial markets that is caused by weak demand for goods and services. The economy is in recession because the economy is slowing down. There are many reasons for this, but two of the most important are the loss of jobs and the rise in unemployment.
The recession is the worst thing that has happened to the US economy since the Great Depression. It is the worst recession since the Great Depression and the worst since the 1920s. It is because of this that many economists are now forecasting that the US economy will shrink for the rest of this year. This is a very real and serious economic crisis that many people are still paying attention to and are actively taking to Washington D.C. to see the solutions.
There is no real solution for the situation that we are in. The only thing the government can do is to create a jobs bill and pass it. This is done by congress. This is a non-partisan process and the majority of Americans do not care for this process. The unemployment rate is currently around 9.3 percent, which is just above the 10 percent threshold that triggers a recession.
The only thing that is really good about this is that the economy is going to go down, so it’s going to be hard to prevent it. In order to prevent this, we need to stop all of our politicians from talking about it.
They are, however, talking about it for the last time. The economy is not exactly going to be the way it was before the recession. Now we’ll see if people who are in jobs can’t get them again. If you’re currently unemployed, you need to be making a decision about whether you want to work or not. You can’t keep working for a job that’s going to hurt you in the long run.
I think it would be helpful if we were allowed to talk about the economy, so we can all work together to make it so we can all get the economy back to where it was. What works, what doesn’t, and how to make it so that everyone is treated equally. But we’re going to have to figure that out for ourselves.
The technical recession is a real thing, and the last time it was this deep was back in the early 90’s. When that happened, the only people who could afford to start new businesses were very wealthy, because they could easily afford to start a new business and make a lot of money. Now that situation has changed, and people have to start from scratch, whether they want to or not.
Our economy is still in a technical recession, and we’re still far behind where it should be. Despite a lot of the talk about the “bubble” that’s been forming for a long time, the problem is that no one wants to admit they’ve been in a tech recession. It’s a big, big problem, and it’s not something people want to hear.
What they seem to be saying is that while they should be able to make a lot of money, they shouldn’t because they can’t, and they know they can’t. So they keep quiet about it. And then they get hit with the biggest recession since the Great Depression. People will tell you that people talk about tech recession, but they don’t really mean “tech recession.” The people saying “tech recession” are more interested in how people are feeling right now.
the big problem in tech recession is that nobody really knows what a tech recession is. Is it just a phrase that is thrown around by people who know a lot about tech? Or is it actually that nobody really knows what a tech recession actually is? The truth is that it can be anything from a very short period of time to a very long period of time. In any case, the tech recession can be anything from a year to a decade.

In the past year, I have had many conversations about viruses, vaccinations and immunity. I have been surprised by the number of my friends who have serious reservations about vaccinations – one reason for this blog! It seems to me that most fit into the following categories:
- Informed and ‘yes’ to vaccination
- Trust in science and ‘yes’ to vaccines
- Want to be more informed and so hesitant about vaccines
- Sceptical but willing to listen
- Sceptical and distrustful but willing to at least engage and agree to disagree
- Distrustful, researched but been misinformed, decided, absolute ‘no’ to vaccines and quite possibly ‘no’ to the existence of a pandemic or even coronaviruses
Those in this last category have a wide range of views including that:
- COVID-19 doesn’t even exist but, according to David Icke and Alex Jones, is a plot by the globalist elite to take away our freedoms.
- Covid-19 is the result of 5G mobile phone signals either by making people sick or by depressing peoples’ immune systems and so making them vulnerable to the virus
- Covid-19 vaccines will alter our DNA
- Covid-19 vaccines will implant microchips into people so that Bill Gates can control them
- Huge numbers of people will die from taking the Covid-19 vaccine (Bill Gates said so)
- Covid-19 vaccines are rushed and shoddy – scientists say it takes 10 years to develop a new vaccine
If you identify with one or more of these views and have decided that nothing will change it, then my next few posts will probably make you feel much the same way as I felt while researching for my piece on conspiracy theories and digesting ‘The Hidden History of the Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia’. (I won’t post a link here and really, you probably don’t want to go there!) So I suggest that you might want to read something more to your taste…
But before you leave me, allow me to share this story:
‘Mulla Nasruddin and one of his friends had been drinking all evening in a bar. The friend finally passed out and fell to the floor. The Mulla called a doctor who rushed him to a hospital. When he came to, the doctor asked him, “Do you see any pink elephants or little green men?”
“No,” groaned the patient.
“No snakes or alligators?” the doctor asked.
“No,” the drunk said.
“Then just sleep it off. You will be all right in the morning,” said the doctor.
But Mulla Nasruddin was worried. “Look, doctor,” he said, “that boy is in bad shape. He said he could not see any of those animals, and you and I know the room is full of them.”’

Juneteenth, celebrated every June 19th for over 150 years, is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. The day marks the official end of slavery in the US. Even though President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, enslaved people in Texas were only made aware of their freedom two years later, on June 19th, 1865. Juneteenth has been commemorated by African American families ever since, and President Joe Biden signed a bill making it the newest federal holiday in 2021.
This year, we asked graduate research fellows from the Racial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Science Education project to share what Juneteenth means to them and how they celebrate the day.
Juanita: It means true independence from enslavement.
Veronica: Juneteenth is not merely symbolic: it actually marks the ending of physical slavery in this country. Though slavery had ended legally, some slaves had not yet received word that they had been “freed.” Juneteenth marks the day those slaves were finally informed that they were in fact free.
Juanita: I do have memories of celebrating Juneteenth and discussing the importance of this day because of history. My family would read articles and discuss the impact they had on our culture.
Veronica: Where I am from in Denver, each year there is an annual Juneteenth celebration. As a child I went to the parade each year, and enjoyed the two day festival that followed. Though I understood the significance of Juneteenth as a child, I did not understand the gravity…I wasn’t aware of how significant our celebration was. The parade involved step teams, speakers, activists, dancers, community organizations, etc. One year, I met Al Sharpton there [when he] marched in the parade. I still have that picture. The two-day festival covered the historic Five Points community (where Duke Ellington and others played when they came to Denver). There were more African American merchants, cooks, business owners, creatives, and activists there than one could imagine. I remember Juneteenth being a celebration of freedom, and we did not only mark it with a parade. We celebrated by exercising the skills we were able to use to make a living after we were liberated. There was almost a rebellious nature in our celebration. We were parading our liberation, and enjoying cooperative economics: keeping our money within our community.
Juanita: I didn’t react. I believe that this holiday was rich and meaningful without government interference.
Veronica: My reaction initially was excitement, because it meant that the government was finally acknowledging its role in subjugating people of color. There could be no more pretending. Almost immediately though, I felt angry. It was only a matter of time before white business owners would commercialize the celebration, and attempt to capitalize on our jubilee.
Juanita: I haven’t changed the way I celebrated this holiday. I attend festivals and support Black businesses as I did before the change.
Veronica: Over the years the Juneteenth celebration in Denver has shrunk, much of which is due to gentrification. They have raised booth fees, and it is increasingly difficult for Black businesses to participate. Needless to say, this prevents a valuable opportunity for white business owners to participate in the market part of the festival. (This defeats the purpose.) We do not have a Juneteenth celebration in my current city.
Juanita: During June, I become more intentional about supporting as many Black businesses as possible. I explain the holiday to my children, and I attend festivals so that my children can see the broadness of Black talents, culture, and history in the making.
Veronica: There are two things that I will be doing this year to commemorate Juneteenth.

What is a Contract Postal Unit?
A Contract Postal Unit (CPU) is a supplier-owned or supplier-leased site operated by the supplier, under contract to the Postal Service™ to provide postal products and services to the public at U.S. Postal Service prices.
Other services that may be provided are: Global Express Guaranteed Service® (GXG).Mail deposited at a CPU after the last collection of the day will be processed on the following postal business day.
These units provide full service retail products and services to postal customers at U.S. Postal Service prices. They are housed within a supplier facility and are operated and managed by supplier employees.
Retailers that participate in the Contract Postal Unit program are provided USPS branding rights and signage. A build-out that meets postal regulations is required. Suppliers are limited to selling only USPS products and services. Contract Postal Unit suppliers are compensated based on performance. Operating a Contract Postal Unit increases foot traffic and provides additional customer convenience. Placement of a CPU is driven by the need for additional Postal Service access points in a community. Local postal resources determine this need.
Send us your contact information, including your business name, complete business address, and phone number, and a local USPS representative will contact you with more information. Email us at [email protected].

Life-giving, loving, faithful God – Prayers for the Church of England’s Living in Love & Faith process
AS the Church of England is in the process of sharing its Living in Love and Faith (LLF) resources on identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage, I offer these prayers for everyone involved, and those who feel unable to be involved.

Sometimes the Church can be an inhospitable place for those presenting a minority report, especially on gender identity and sexual orientation.

SUMOGRIP MECHANICAL PENCILS
Fingers feel relaxed and flexible while holding the specially designed, triangular shaped grip of the SumoGrip pencil.
The ergonomically correct contour is a natural fit for hands. Physical therapists recommend SumoGrip to carpal tunnel patients and for adults with fine motor skill difficulty. SumoGrip 0.9mm withstands strong writing pressure because of the heavier lead and the clear, fixed lead sleeve, making it perfect for anyone who tends to press hard while writing.

We have developed over the years key partnerships with the largest container leasing companies in the world that provide us with unparalleled global access to tens of thousands of used intermodal cargo containers every day. When these companies containers are no longer utilized within their fleet, they are retired from maritime service and become available for sale. Most of these retired containers are 20-foot dry, 40-foot dry, and 40-foot-highcube units, but specialized containers such as reefers, open tops, and flat racks are regularly available for purchase.
We concentrate on fleets that offer quality products maintained at a much higher standard than that which is usually available in the marketplace. Its our standard to sell “cargo worthy” condition or better and require our depot network to have inspected and repaired the containers to IICL standards – Cargo Worthy, IICL 5 or IICL 6.

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.
Question (Q): Sir, man lives in society. How can we cut-off from society?
Acharya Prashant (AP): Who is that man? Are you afraid? Are you afraid of being cut-off from the society?
Listener 1 (L1): No, Sir.
AP: What you are calling as being cut-off from the society is an event. This event is important to you only if you are afraid of it, otherwise so much is happening. Do you talk about it? Being cut-off from the society, whatsoever it meant, is an event and that event is now being picked up by you. Why? Are you afraid? If not, then why are you talking about it?
Let that happen.
Society is not one thing. You create your own society. What do you think these hundred or thousand people that you know in your life, they are your society? There are millions of societies parallelly running.
You think, just as we said a little while ago, that there is this finite space (pointing towards the room) and the mind thinks that this room is all there is.
Similarly you think that this limited society, all your uncles and aunts, friends and relatives is society. There are a thousand new societies waiting for you, a thousand new worlds waiting for you. Why do you think that this is society?
Just because of fear, just because this society has exploited you. This society threatens you that don’t go away, remain here.

by Sarah Rockford, JOFEE Fellow Cohort 4, Maine Jewish Food Network at Colby College Center for Small Town Jewish Life – Waterville, ME
Fourteen years ago I read from parshat Eikev as a bat mitzvah. As I stood on the bimah and chanted my way through the aliyot, I reflected briefly that the eleventh-hour cramming I’d done over the past hours seemed to be paying off, but reading the final aliyah my concentration waivered, and I lost my place in the scroll. I continued to chant the Hebrew words I’d memorized while theatrically moving the lost yad along the rows of letters on the parchment. When I ran out of words in my head I stopped chanting and shot a desperate look at the rabbi—hoping he would reorient me so I could finish the portion. Our eyes met, he smiled, and congratulated me. I’d finished the aliyah from memory without realizing, and no one was the wiser for my mistake. Relieved and full of adrenaline I started to cry as the congregation began to sing Siman Tov U’Mazal Tov. I believe everyone thought I was having a profound spiritual moment, but these were tears of relief. I was just happy the ordeal was over.
Fourteen years hence I’m revisiting Eikev—these words whose performance made me shake in my shoes. I’ve gleaned some new wisdom this time around, as is often the case with our ancient texts that reveal different facets of themselves to us at different ages. I’ve found much richness and stories of food in this text that speak to my stomach and perhaps my heart too.
In Eikev we are introduced to the seven species, the Shiv’at HaMinim—the bounty of foods the Israelites are promised upon their arrival in the land of Israel. Wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and (date) honey: truly a Technicolor bounty. I love that the beauty of this land is detailed in terms of the foods the Israelites will find there.
As God enumerates the wonders of the food in Eretz Yisrael, God also threatens to withhold the rain, and therefore these crops, should the Israelites forget their debt of gratitude and their obligation to fulfill God’s commandments. Where in Egypt the Israelites watered their fields by hand, crops in Israel, God explains, will be watered by the heavens, by the rain (Deut. 11:11-14). Where in Egypt the work of watering their crops yielded direct results, in the land of Israel it is the Israelites’ fidelity to God that ensures the success of their crops. God swaps the Israelite’s self-sufficiency for faith and this bounty of sweet foods. Beautiful and rich though the land is, faith in an unseen god proves more challenging a task than the labor of watering their fields in Egypt… Spoiler alert, the Israelites stray from God’s commandments, and are punished in kind.
What of that rain today? I would posit that the more things change, the more they remain the same. The health of our communities, like that of the biblical Israelites, depends on the rain in its time, and the regularity of the seasons. I am struck, here, by the parallel between the vulnerability of the Israelites and the precariousness of our modern society. We still rely on the land, but our shortsighted hunger and unchecked consumption have stoked self-destructive impulses—we are degrading the soil that feeds us, and rocking the weather patterns that water our fields. Just as the Israelites were warned, we too know what will happen if we fail to right our relationship with the environment… modern humans are ever as stubborn as those biblical Israelites.
Eikev reminds us of our perennial dependence on the land, and it reminds us of the debt of gratitude we owe for the food the land provides. Here I am reminded of a passage from Braiding Sweetgrass, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. She writes: “Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.” Eating the seven species feels like the land loving us back, it feels like the reciprocal bond Kimmerer writes about. I have access to not seven, but hundreds of species, hundreds of culinary delights that regularly grace my plate. What debt do I owe here? I’m not sure exactly, but it must be worth a lot of rain.
When I think about building a better, more reciprocal relationship between modern humans and the earth I feel at once complicit and insignificant. I look out the window to my little, shaded garden, and I see a neglected plot that is doing its best to eek out a few cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and too many zucchini. It’s no Eretz Yisrael, but this garden works to feed me, and rereading Eikev I think perhaps I owe it a little more credit, a little more kavod. Maybe I ought to get out and pull some weeds this afternoon—it’s a place to start.

Team Will Take Upcoming Weekend Off to Reset
Winchester, VA – June 27, 2023
by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Trever Feathers was looking forward to racing in his own backyard Saturday night. Winchester Speedway has been good to him over the years and it’s where he has the most laps, not to mention a lot of success.
That makes it a good measuring stick for his program.
Given the challenges of the 2023 season thus far and the amount of changes the team recently made trying to get back on track, it was a good time for that. To make it even better, Saturday was the Jimmy Spence Memorial. Spence was Feather’s great uncle.
- Date: June 24, 2023
- Event: Jimmy Spence Memorial
- Track: Winchester Speedway
- City, State: Winchester, VA
- Quick Stats: 25 cars, Qualifying 10th, Heat 3rd (3), Amain 4th (10)
Honoring Jimmy Spence
Feathers was slightly in disguise in the field of 25 cars that took to Winchester Speedway Saturday night for the Spence Memorial. That’s because the Winchester native’s super late model was sporting a tribute scheme to honor his great uncle, including the No.91 Spence made famous.
The night started off a bit average for Feathers. He timed 10th quick overall, then started and finished 3rd in his heat race. It wasn’t flashy but he was locked into a top ten starting spot and with the main event scheduled for 51 laps, there would be plenty of time to go to the front.
Feathers took the green from outside row five. After a dozen laps, he was still mired in 10th, treading water so to speak.
During the middle section of the feature, Feathers made his way into 8th and held that spot for fifteen laps before beginning to gain ground again. On lap 34, he cracked the top five, then briefly took 4th with fifteen laps remaining before dropping to 5th again.
As the race drew to a close, Feathers got one more shot at Kenny Moreland and wrestled the 4th spot away with three laps to go. He held on there for the checkered flag.
“It was a good night but my car probably wasn’t as good as where we finished. We got better as the night went but I think our tire choice, managing my stuff for a longer race and just giving the car what it wanted helped me move forward late in the race.“, Feathers said.
“We have made some progress but we still aren’t where we need to be. Good or bad, I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform. Like most teams, we need to run well to pay our bills.”
Following a lot of late nights in the shop recently working to turn their season around, Feathers indicated the team’s current plans are to sit out this weekend to reset, regroup and go over their equipment.
Tentative plans would be to return to action Saturday, July 8th at Port Royal Speedway in the Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Larry Royston’s Septic Services, Martins Pumping Service, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, North River Farm, Clem’s Garage, Leggett Engine Research, Feathers & Sons Roofing, Coffelt Graphics, Larry Royston Properties, Larry Royston Equipment, Bilstein Shocks, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Bo Feathers Racing, Barry Wright Race Cars, No.20.
11 races, 0 wins, 3 top 5’s, 4 top 10’s, 7 top 15’s
The answer to our last trivia question is Trever Feathers’ favorite soda/soft drink is Dr. Pepper!
Now, on to this week’s question. In 2012, Trever won his first Super Late Model race in his __?__ career super late model start at the Paul Johnson Memorial at Winchester (VA) Speedway.

- (A) 2nd start

Add UX Notes mode (to Design and Prototype)
As UX, I would like to add page and object notes for my engineering and QA teams. These notes should be visible in PDF exports as well as in the online prototype. See proposed feature UX Design Prototype Link.
Yes. Please. I keep making mockups and then I can't create lines or text or notes to explain anything when doing the output for the teams UNLESS I make a separate screen for it .. which messes up my UI design.
Have the ability to annotate just by adding a simple sticky note. Acts as an easy way to capture thoughts/ideas while in design mode that you can look to later. Easier than creating text and stands out more. It's especially useful working remotely when co-designing and waning to just capture ideas directly in XD.
Qaabil Digital commented
<a href="https://qaabildigital.com/ui-ux-design-service.php" rel = "Dofollow" > UI UX designer </a> is crucial to just about everything. It renders the latest technology accessible to the masses, makes our favourite apps and websites a pleasure to use, and determines which brands and products we return to over and over again. To put it simply, design matters.
Petr Široký commented
I cannot believe this isn't a feature yet. I don't want to export the stupid prototypes just so I could type something in a browser. Keeping notes in one place would be super useful.
It's like the team behind XD didn't consider this being a significant part of a design process for many individuals and teams.
Please! I have to duplicate my artboards when adding notes so it doesn't clutter up my screen. Super annoying.
+ 1 from me and my team too
Mark Leta commented
Was really hoping this feature were a part of the tool at this point. Large hole in functionality to be able to effectively design UI's and convey specs.
Emamuzo Okerri commented
I would like to add notes to artboards in design and prototype mode that would be tied to the artboard when I share the prototype for review or development.
This would help me explain certain interactions in the prototype, especially those I cannot achieve with xd.
Adam Arends commented
A separate section next to Prototype that allows a complete comment/markup of the artboards by anyone with access. This feature would be something that looks and feels like Acrobat (a small dot that expands on hover or something. you can place the dot on the thing to comment on (like a thumb tack) and then place the comment on a "note" that can be moved and placed anywhere to keep it out of the way. A developer or anther UX can click/tab the "tack" and the comment/note pops up in it's placed location. All of this on another tab and out of the way during Design.
The notes overlay would be great if it was broken down into types of notes:
1. UX notes (what the feature is an how it works)
2. Design note (how it looks and how it is styled)
3. internal notes (user notes on things to come back to or ideas that go to another artboard
4. checklist within the notes would be great.
5. shared boards having an "excel-esque" conversation view on the notes (as excel does with comments).
Bartolomeo D'Alia commented
+1 This is a very important feature fo us.
Harun Alikadić commented
What if you add a "layer" like Pasteboard, called "Notes" that can be hidden. Whatever you add on this layer is above the artboards and Pasteboard.
This leaves space for future development, like signing for export (comments with pin).
It is unbelievable that this feature has not been implemented yet.
As a designer many a times i'd like to add a note on a specific component (like Axure used to allow) which i'd want the developers to pay heed to. Waiting till i publish the design to pin & add that note seems a very tedious process. These notes can appear once i publish the url & design gets shared. Much like annotating the design while i am creating it.
Enable inserting comments in the design like in Excel or Acrobat. Notes &/or comments create dialog about a specific design element without having to draw text boxes and lines to the point of interest.
Priya Harmalkar commented
First of all, just wanted to say co-editing feature is the best. thank you.
Is there a way to leave comments in Design mode? It would be great if the users (of that shared file) could save comments for each other.
A free plugin solution for now: https://designwithfocus.com/#features
Add annotations directly to your design files
Focus is all about adding annotations straight to your design documents. This means that all your notes, ideas, tasks, feedback and whatever else you want to jot down stays relevant and never gets lost again.
All your annotations are safely and securely sync'd to Focus so your data is all in one place.
This would help a LOT, otherwise I have to leave marks on the design itself which is really frustrating.
Amir Aghaei commented
This would really come handy. I currently have create separate doc to put all the notes about everything.
Now I make notes in the online prototype, but when you make a new link, the notes are not copied with it. This is unhandy, when I make a different version of the design for example, like a dark mode version, that need to have the same notes as the light one.

When starting a charity or non-profit organization it might be difficult thing to start since there is a lot involved in it. Championing this course will ensure that your organization is running properly to achieve its goals. By following the pointers in this article you will be able to run a successful nonprofit organization .
For you to achieve the goals you have set, you need to have a clear idea. The outcome you want to create for the world should be clearly defined. Achieving the organization’s goal is something that should be very clear to you and your staff. Planning the work And working out the plan will ensure that you achieve what you need. For you to be able to catch your marks, ensure that you have a list of things to follow and also have a timeline. Whatever resources you need should be stated clearly and also the method you used to check how you perform.
It’s good to have the discipline of saying yes to the excellent ideas only. Everything that An organizations want to do will not be possible since there has never been enough talent, money or time to facilitate it. At times you’ll have to say no even though it takes a thick skin to say so to family and friends, people who sponsor you and even your staff member for you to realize the success you have been working to achieve. Perfection should not stand on the way of achieving the great ideas you have been implementing. Excellent result is as a result of great planning, they are always faster and effective than you trying to perfect things.
Simplicity of your work plan will ensure that you reach the endpoint, if the plan is complicated and your members cannot understand it then its good too sit down and figure out how you can simplify it. As a leader play your role and maximize your time so that the rest of the work can be delegated to others who are able play their roles well. In every department and human resource evaluation, put in place performance standards that will guide your employees.
Stakeholders and donors will want to associate themselves with an organization that get the job done in a proper way and on time. Also remember that fake or fancy promises are counterproductive to your organization. Taking breaks from work will enable you to re-evaluate the process performance metrics and the people working in your organization. Giving your staff time off from work can have a positive effects on them as they might pull something new or different while on their vacation. Public relation is also something you should put into consideration because by relating well with the public, you are able to accomplish a lot in your organization.

Death of the Firstborn
Locusts, Darkness, and Death
The three final plagues – locusts, darkness, and death of the firstborn – were the most frightening and the most devastating. Fekhri Hassan estimated that as many as one-third of Egypt’s population died in these last plagues. What was God trying to tell Pharaoh? The plague of locusts consumed whatever the hail had left behind. Then darkness that could be felt settled upon the homes of the Egyptians, giving them time to consider their choices and what was coming next. The Ipuwer papyrus mentions strange phenomenon of heavy darkness. Was God trying to reach the Egyptians’ hearts while they meditated? In this lecture, Francois du Plessis explores the Bible and the archaeology connected with the tragedy of the death of the firstborn in Egypt and reveals the longsuffering of a God who is not willing that any should perish.

Strike while the iron’s hot. Two posts in one day! Turns out I could get the desired effect by using the Reverse Warping Method. (If I do say so myself, that is an excellent tutorial.) Note that the pattern is not centered on the square. On the left border you see complete “stars;” on the right you see 2/3 stars.Read More →
Easiest way to recognize you’re avoiding something?
It doesn’t get done … And doesn’t get done … And doesn’t get done …
Imagine that, unlike me, you want to make a project—sew squares together and arrive at something useful. Our imaginary project involves weaving “Companion Squares” that, when combined, contribute to a “Bigger Picture.” (The terms “Companion Squares” and “Bigger Picture” will be used throughout this article to describe the type of squares referred to—see photo caption.)
It’s helpful to know which corner is which when reading my blog posts because I often refer to corners and sides of the loom (or squares).
This information is also useful when it comes to joining your squares.
Please note: Corner 1 (cr1) and Corner 4 are usually interchangeable. There may be times when it matters that your squares are right side up (meaning cr1 at the bottom left), so please take care!
Have to say, this one didn’t turn out as I’d hoped. (It’s been redesigned and needs to be rewoven.) In its defense, I designed it on graph paper–long before I began designing with charts on the computer–using the palest pencil imaginable. It was hard to see the diagram to transfer it to digital media, so I can only imagine (because I can’t remember) how difficult it must have been to design. Apparently I had no trouble following my nearly imperceptible graphite marks because I wove what I wrote. Nevertheless, while transcribing the pattern I decided to make some improvements (untested at this point, but I’m certain they’re improvements).
Before I could transfer the semi-visible drawing to the computer, I thought I’d better get a look at the original so I could know what I was trying to copy. Here’s a rough sketch of what Road to Tennessee looked like in my quilt block book.
(Originally published 17 Oct 2017, now with updated diagrams)
I haven’t woven these two patterns, but I know they looked good as 4″ squares.
I offer them here for the 6″ loom.
The following information was originally on the Facebook Pin Loom Weaving Support Group. According to new Facebook policy (as far as I understand it) the post is considered spam because of all the links it contains. I don’t want to lose the information I’ve collected, so I’m posting it here. Read More →
I’ve been putting off writing this one because I thought I already had. Unlike the method in Part 5, I actually like this one a lot and have found it quite useful. For patterns that have a lot of O3s combined with U3s—particularly those with the U3/O3, O3/U3 star motif—this is a great warping configuration. (You can also use L1/2-4 for such patterns, but L1&2/3&4 will usually look better). I plan to post several new patterns soon that will show examples using this warping method (see Lattice Borders and variations for examples).

We’ll provide everything you need to have three great days of fishing. This includes tackle, rods, reels, plastic bait, plus flies and fly roads if specified. We also bring breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and beverages. If you prefer to use your own fishing gear, feel free to bring a rod, hard bait, crank baits, plugs, or minnows. Transportation to and from the river will also be provided in addition to tents, sleeping cots, and dry gear.
You’re responsible for obtaining and bringing your West Virginia fishing license, which you’ll need to show your fishing guide before the trip. We recommend bringing sunscreen and weather-appropriate clothes, including rain gear, warm layers, sunglasses, and a hat. Ask for an Overnight Checklist for more details on what to bring.
This is a three-day, overnight trip, with approximately eight hours spent on the river each day. All trips depart during early morning.
The minimum age for this adventure is eight years old. You must have a current West Virginia fishing license, which you’ll need to show your guide during check in. All fishing trips are catch and release with artificial baits only. Consult with your physician before attempting any new activity.
Your fishing guide will discuss all specific safety requirements on site. Our guides know this river better than anybody, and they’ll help you with bait or fly selection and where to cast, plus instruction if necessary.

Satisfactory Academic Progress
The Student Advocacy Center can assist students who need help understanding SAP or who are preparing appeals to regain financial aid eligibility.
The Ohio State University is required by federal law to establish reasonable standards for monitoring students' progress towards a degree. All students who receive student financial aid required to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress ("SAP") standards in order to be eligible for Title IV funding as well as state and institutional, need-based financial aid programs. If a student who is receiving financial aid falls below the minimum standards by the end of Spring semester (or does not meet the conditional standards set), they will be ineligible for financial aid in future terms and may appeal.
In order to be eligible to receive financial aid, students must meet all of the following standards:
- A required, minimum, cumulative GPA
- A satisfactory cumulative completion rate (or "A cumulative percentage of classes attempted and then successfully completed" This number is negatively affected by W, E, EN# and U)
- Remaining under the maximum time frame (or "hours required to complete degree requirements.")
Because many students rely on financial aid in order to attend Ohio State, it is critical that they remain in SAP compliance to preserve their aid. If a student is not meeting one or more of the requirements, they may appeal for conditional eligibility while they work to regain SAP compliance.
For more information, visit the Office of Student Financial Aid.

Hitler’s Speech on the 25th Anniversary of the Announcement of the National Socialist Party’s Programme (1945)
by Adolf Hitler
24 February 1945
The consciousness of my duty and my work does not allow me to leave headquarters at the moment when, for the twenty-fifth time, that date is being commemorated on which the fundamental program of our movement was proclaimed and approved in Munich.
The evening of the twenty-fourth of February was, under the auspices of prudence, a development the significance of which probably only today becomes clear to us in its terrible meaning. An irreconcilable enemy was already at that time united in a common struggle against the German people, in the same manner as it is today.
The unnatural alliance between exploiting capitalism and destructive bolshevism that threatens to strangle the entire world today has been the enemy to which we threw down the gauntlet on Feb. 24, 1920, in order to safeguard the existence of our nation. The same as in these years, the apparently contradictory factor in the cooperation of such extreme forces was only the expression of a unique desire of a common instigator and profiteer. International Jewry has long used both forms for the annihilation of the liberty and social welfare of nations.
However, there is an enormous difference between the Germany of 1920 and the Germany of 1945. The Germany of 1920 had been completely paralyzed, the Germany of today is defending herself with the utmost fanaticism. The social order of 1920 had been antiquated and was bound to collapse. Today there exists an unshakable community of the people.
If the former Germany had possessed only a small fraction of the power of resistance inspiring the Germany of today, she would not have capitulated. If the German-people today possessed only a part of the former weakness, it would have ceased to exist long ago. Feb. 24, 1920, will later be regarded as a great milestone in the history of mankind. Without German National Socialist reconstruction, there would be neither a German Empire nor a German people today.
Providence shows no mercy to weak nations, but recognizes the right of existence-only of sound and strong nations. The fact that the National Socialist movement in 1933 succeeded after roughly thirteen years in gaining power by legal means was the result of a stubborn and hard struggle that often seemed to be hopeless.
Who dares to deny that even the strongest will power would not have sufficed to defy this devilish coalition threatening us today without Germany’s successful material rearmament after the National Socialist revolution? Nobody but the foolish bourgeois can believe that the flood from the east would not have come if Germany had met it with theoretical international laws instead of guns, tanks and planes.
Just as the Hun assault could not be beaten back by pious wishes or fair warnings, just as the invasion of our country from the southeast in the course of centuries was not warded off by diplomatic tricks, and the Mongolian onslaught did not spare old monuments of culture, this danger also will not be overcome by right in itself but only by strength supporting this right.
Right itself is nothing but the duty to defend the life entrusted to us by the Creator of the world. It is the sacred right of self-preservation. Whether this self-preservation will be successful depends solely on the greatness of our efforts and on willingness to make any sacrifice to preserve this life for the future.
Attila’s power was broken not at a meeting of the League of Nations but in battle on the Catalaunian Plains. Not at a talking shop in Geneva nor by any other convention will bolshevism be beaten, but solely by our determination to win victory and by the strength of our arms.
We all know how difficult this struggle is. No matter what we shall lose, it is by far not what it would be if this struggle was not successfully concluded.
Several areas in the eastern part of Germany now experience bolshevism. The crimes committed against our women and children and men by this Jewish plague are the most terrible fate ever conceived by human beings.
This Jewish bolshevist annihilation of nations and its western European and American procurers can be met only in one way: by using every ounce of strength with the extreme fanaticism and stubborn steadfastness that merciful God gives to men in hard times for the defense of their own lives.
All those who weaken will be crushed and left to decay. In the same manner as once the coward bourgeois compromise parties had been first driven into a corner by the bolshevist wave and then swept away, all those bourgeois states will disappear today whose stupid representatives think that they can conclude a treaty with the devil, cherishing the hope that they will be more cunning than he is satanic.
It is a gruesome repetition of the former inner German process that is now going on in a gigantic world political field of the present war. But just as we formerly overcame the narrow-minded party particularism and knocked down the bolshevist opponent in order to create a National Socialist people’s state, we shall today win a victory over the medley of bourgeois democratic state conceptions and we will crown this victory by the annihilation of bolshevism.
Just as once all the compromising bourgeois parties were swept away by the Bolshevist flood, so today all bourgeois States are disappearing. Their misguided representatives believe that they can come to terms with the devil in the hope of outwitting him. It is a horrid repetition of what once happened in Germany, but on a global scale. Just as we then smashed the Bolshevist enemy despite petty-bourgeois particularism and set up a National Socialist state, so victory shall be ours today despite bourgeois democratic States.
The greatest King of our history, Frederick II, was threatened with succumbing to the superiority of a world coalition and it was only because of his heroic soul that a nucleus of the coming Reich was created and remained victor in the end.
All peoples whose statesmen have made a pact with the Bolshevist devil will sooner or later become its victim. But let there be no doubt that National Socialist Germany will carry on this struggle until the end, and that will be the case this year when the historic turning-point comes. No power in the world will weaken our hearts.
Our enemies have destroyed so much that is beautiful and holy that we can now live for only one task-to create a state that will rebuild what they have destroyed. It is, therefore, our duty to maintain the liberty of the German nation for the future; not to permit German labor to be carried off to Siberia but to mobilize it for reconstruction on behalf of our own people. It is frightful what the homeland has to endure and the tasks of the front are superhuman, but if a whole people is to show itself equal to such suffering, as our nation does, then Providence will not deny us in the end the right of survival.
We have suffered so much that it only steels us to fanatical resolve to hate Our enemies a thousand times more and to regard them for what they are destroyers of an eternal culture and annihilators of humanity. Out of this bate a holy will is born to oppose these destroyers of our existence with all the strength that God has given us and to crush them in the end. During its 2,000-year history our people has survived so many terrible times that we have no doubt that we will also master our present plight.
If the homeland continues to do its duty and even does still more; if the soldier at the front takes the valiant homeland as an example and stakes his life for his native land, then the whole world will be shattered in its assault against us. If the front and the homeland are jointly determined to destroy those who renounce the law of self-preservation, those who act like cowards or those who sabotage the fight, then they will save the nation. Then, at the end of this struggle, a German victory must come and we will enjoy our proud good fortune.
When this war comes to an end, we shall put victory into the hands of a young generation. This youth is the most precious thing that Germany possesses. It will be an example for all generations to come. This, too, is the work of National Socialist education and the result of a challenge that went out from Munich twenty-five years ago.
My own life has only the value that it possesses for the nation’s work unswervingly to re-establish and strengthen our fronts for revenge and attack, to create weapons of proved as well as of novel design, to put them into action to stiffen the spirit of our resistance and, if necessary, also, as in the past, to eliminate all those pests who do not want to participate in the preservation of our nationhood or even oppose it.
I recently read in the British papers that the Allies intend to destroy my Berghof [evidently speaking of the American attack on his mountain home near Berchtesgaden last week]. I almost regret that this did not happen thus far, since my personal property is of no greater value than that of other Germans.
I shall be happy-as far as this is possible to anybody-to bear all that the others have to bear. The only thing that I should not be able to bear would be the weakness of my nation.
What makes me very happy and proud, however, is the conviction that the German people in its greatest distress shows its hardest character. In these weeks and months may every individual German remember that it is his duty to sacrifice all for the German nation’s preservation for centuries to come.
Whoever suffers must know that many Germans have lost more than he. The life that is left to us should serve only one task-namely, to make up for all the wrongs done by the international Jewish criminals and their henchmen to our nation. It must be our unshakable will to think of Germany alone until our last breath. Man after man, woman after woman, in towns and in the country, we shall live only for the task of liberating our nation from this distress, of reconstructing Germany’s culture as well as her National Socialist life.
It is our firm will never to cease working for the true people’s community, far from any ideology of classes, firmly believing that the eternal values of a nation are its best sons and daughters, who, regardless of birth and rank, just as God gave them to us, must be educated and employed.
Twenty-five years ago I predicted the victory of our movement. Today, filled as always with belief in our nation, I predict the final victory of the German race.

$23,439,724 siphoned illegally by Abacha family was recovered by British NCA
The British National Crime Agency (NCA) has reported that it ” recovered $23,439,724.98 siphoned out of Nigeria in the 1990s by the associates and family of former Nigerian Head of State, General Sani Abacha.
The funds form part of a larger pool of monies identified by the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) as having been misappropriated by Abacha and his associates.”
The report on NCA website stated: “Acting on a request from the USDOJ, the NCA pursued nearly seven years of protracted litigation and international negotiation to obtain the recovery order, to enforce the US forfeiture order relating to the recovered monies. The funds have now been transferred to the Home Office for onward transmission to the USDOJ. The ultimate intention is for the $23.5m to be repatriated for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
Billy Beattie, Asset Denial Senior Manager at the NCA, said: “The NCA is committed to ensuring that the UK is not a safe haven for criminals to launder their proceeds of crime, and civil recovery of assets is a powerful weapon in this fight.”
“We work closely with UK and international partners to tackle the threat posed by corruption, which disproportionately impacts the poorest and most vulnerable members of society. We are committed to ensuring that those who perpetuate corruption do not benefit from their actions.”
It concluded that “The NCA case is ongoing with further monies having been identified by the USDOJ as having also been misappropriated by Abacha and his associates “

A total of 25 major company profiles were covered and provided.
The demand for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is increasing quickly due to the rise in traffic accidents on a global scale. To make driving safer and cut down on accidents, automakers are heavily investing in the development of these technologies. Customers are increasingly choosing vehicles with ADAS capabilities as they become more aware of the safety advantages of these systems. The need for ADAS is being further increased by governments drafting legislation to make such systems required in vehicles.
BEV segment to be the largest market by value during forecast period
BEVs have an increasing demand due to concerns about emission reductions worldwide. Due to the low availability of charging stations and the high cost of EV batteries, BEVs had a low demand. However, the demand for BEVs has increased significantly due to the decreasing cost of EV batteries at a fast and steady rate coupled with increasing EV range and a growing EV charging network worldwide. BEVs contributed to a considerable part of top-selling EVs in the market in 2022. BEVs are available in multiple segments, including sedans, SUVs, and hatchbacks. Many OEMs are launching electric vehicles to cater to the market demand. Tesla, Volkswagen AG (Germany), SAIC Motors (China), BYD, and Stellantis (Netherlands) are the pure electric vehicle companies topping sales. In contrast, OEMs such as Nissan, Toyota, and GM offer tough competition to electric vehicle manufacturers. Tesla is a bestseller in North America and Europe, whereas Wuling HongGuang Mini EV is a low-cost EV popular in China. BEV models such as Tesla Model X offer autopilot ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, auto park, and lane departure warning systems. OEMs such as Nissan, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Ford, GM, and others provide ADAS features across their premium models. For instance, Nissan offers pro-pilot features to its Nissan Leaf and Nissan Altima electric cars. The pro-pilot ADAS features include ACC, IPA, and LDW. Similarly, Mercedes Benz provides a drive-pilot for its S Class model, which comes with autonomous emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane change warning, evasive steering assist, traffic jam assist, speed limit assist, and remote parking assist. Mercedes is one of the best providers of level 3 automation in passenger cars.

Software to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period
Increasing demand for accurate and faster object recognition will be a major growth driver for the software segment of the ADAS Market. Modern vehicles are equipped with high-resolution cameras and long-range radar sensors for driver assistance. Hence, developments in image recognition technology will play a critical role in deploying these sensors in upcoming vehicles. Newer features such as pedestrian recognition, cyclist recognition, vehicle detection, driver monitoring systems, and traffic sign recognition are being tested, and plans to roll them out in more vehicles for improved occupant safety are underway. More sophisticated ADAS features would demand faster and more accurate software algorithms/platforms for detecting objects with low latency. BlackBerry (Canada) has developed QNX as a modular, flexible, and hardware-optimized software platform for ADAS applications. ADAS software consists of algorithms that perform pre-decided functions based on the input data from cameras, radar, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors. The input data is processed by the ECUs and activates the physical vehicle components such as steering, brakes, throttle, and others to evade accidents. The entire process is controlled and monitored by the software platform, from analyzing the input data to the decision-making. Automakers are turning toward deep learning as they look for innovative ways to enable smart camera applications and automated driving systems for next-generation vehicles. In December 2020, Renesas Electronics (Japan) developed an R-car software development kit. This complete software platform enables quick and easy software development and offers validation for smart cameras and automated driving applications used in commercial, passenger, and off-road vehicles. It manages the software complexity and supporting features ranging from entry safety compliance to advanced highway pilot.
“Europe is leading the ADAS Market as of 2022”
Automotive is one of the key industries in Europe. In June 2022, the region had 301 automobile assembly and production plants, of which 134 produce passenger cars, 41 produce vans, 52 build trucks, 66 produce buses, 72 make engines, and 18 make batteries. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), Europe accounted for around 22% of global vehicle production in 2022. The European automotive market registered steady growth in the last six years despite the recent global automotive slowdown. Leading European automotive manufacturers to offer high-performance engines and advanced safety features to stay competitive. Passenger car sales of major automakers such as the Volkswagen Group, Mercedes Benz, Renault, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, and Stellantis led to the demand for ADAS-enabled vehicles in the region.
According to experts, stringent emission regulations and zero emission targets in Europe would majorly affect both passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturers during the forecast period. The growth of the European ADAS Market can be attributed to technological advancements in driver assistance features such as traffic jam assist and blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic and mandates that have been set up since July 2022 or features such as DMS, AEB and LCW in passenger cars. The growing shift to EVs and the growing demand for road safety will increase ADAS demand in the region.
However, the region will be affected by the upcoming recession, which will impact the automotive market. Factors such as the ongoing energy crisis and the increasing cost of living in this region, with minimal salary growth to match the price inflation, will lead to reduced automotive demand. Countries such as Germany, Netherlands, France, and the UK have already been severely impacted due to these factors.
Key Market Players:
The ADAS Market is dominated by established players such as Robert Bosch (Germany), Denso (Japan), Continental AG (Germany), Magna International (US), and ZF Friedrichshafen (Germany), among others. These companies provide ADAS components to global OEMs. These companies have set up R&D infrastructure and offer best-in-class products to their customers.

Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc Q1 Production Update
ST HELIER, Jersey, April 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (NYSE AMERICAN, AIM and VFEX: CMCL) (“Caledonia” or the “Company”) announces gold production from the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe (“Blanket”) and the Bilboes oxides project in Zimbabwe for the quarter ended 31 March 2023 (“Q1 2023” or the “Quarter”). All production numbers are expressed on a 100 per cent basis and are based on the final assay at the refiners.
Quarterly gold production at Blanket Mine was 16,036 ounces, 13 per cent lower than the 18,515 ounces produced in the first quarter of 2022. Production was lower than last year due to several individually insignificant mechanical breakdowns and logistical issues which have now been resolved and production in the early part of April 2023 has been better than expected.
Management re-iterates production guidance for Blanket for the year to December 31, 2023 of between 75,000 and 80,000 ounces of gold1.
Bilboes commenced production of gold from oxides derived from pre-stripping works in the last few days of the Quarter, producing 105 ounces of gold. Commencement of oxide production at Bilboes has been slower than anticipated, having been adversely affected by inconsistent grades, mechanical breakdowns and the poor availability of spare parts and alternative equipment.
As highlighted in the production guidance dated January 13, 2023, the on-mine cost/oz of Bilboes oxide production was anticipated to be $1,200-1,320 and is hence a relatively low margin activity which is primarily justified by the parallel benefit of pre-stripping in anticipation of the development of the Bilboes sulphide project. The Company is reviewing the initial evidence of this activity given some of the initial challenges and relative to the larger sulphide project, for which a feasibility study is being updated. Accordingly, going forward, we will report actual production achieved each quarter at the oxides project as part of the pre-stripping activities and, accordingly, have withdrawn guidance on the low-margin oxide production.
Commenting on the announcement, Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Gold production at Blanket is usually lower in the first quarter of each year and increases in the following quarters. This trend is in evidence this year, albeit production in the first quarter of 2023 was below our target due to a series of issues including equipment failures and logistical issues. These issues have been resolved and production to date in April has been higher than expected.
“The small-scale low margin oxide operation at Bilboes is effectively a pre-stripping exercise for the larger sulphide project in respect of which we have commenced work on an updated feasibility study. The oxide project was adversely affected by the breakdown of contractor-provided drill-rigs which are used for evaluation drilling and the limited availability in Zimbabwe of spare parts or alternative equipment.
“In light of the foregoing, we reiterate production guidance for 2023 of between 75,000 and 80,000 ounces of gold from Blanket.
“We expect to publish further operating information and the financial results for the Quarter on or about May 15, 2023.”

Exclusively Streaming on TuneIn: Boss Radio 66 Presents Country A-Go-Go Featuring Tom Hanks’ Private Collection of Classic Country Albums
New Commercial-Free Station Featuring Deep Cuts from Classic Country Artists of the 50s, 60s and 70s debuts week of Hank Williams’ 100th Birthday
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TuneIn, the world’s leading live-streaming audio service, today announced the launch of Country A-Go-Go, the second radio station from the team behind Boss Radio 66, Tom Hanks and Debbie Daughtry. The duo are releasing their personal collection of classic country albums to listeners around the globe to help them discover hidden gems from country legends and the talented artists who never got much radio airplay in their time.
Country A-Go-Go pays homage to country music’s roots featuring deep cuts from legends like Hank Williams, Jean Shepard, Tammy Wynette and George Jones to undiscovered artists of the 50s, 60s and 70s whose influence can still be found in today’s hits. The station captures the essence of those generations through its carefully curated playlist – even featuring vintage audio ads to take listeners on a journey through time.
Listeners will hear the changing tides of American culture over the course of three decades through a uniquely country perspective. Country A-Go-Go presents a voice of the people many have never heard before.
To make this station a reality Hanks and Daughtry scoured record bins around the country and turned to their own personal record collections, digitizing over 3,500 vinyl records of classic country. The station brings these classic hits out of the archives to showcase the music created during its greatest era that continues to impact the music still playing on the radio today.
“This is the music that I grew up with, and still influences the music that I love to this day,” said Daughtry. “The new generation of country music artists are amazing. The genre is having a huge comeback right now. Just take a listen to Garth’s new station, The Big 615! Country A-Go-Go reconnects listeners with country music’s origins to hear the legends that gave country its soul. This station is for any country music fan that wants to hear great music from a very influential time in history.”
The commercial-free station makes its debut on TuneIn during the week of Hank Williams’ 100th Birthday, with special programming that celebrates this important event in music history with some deep-cut recordings of the country legend.
Country A-Go-Go is the latest of several collaborations planned between Hanks and Daughtry. The first of which was Boss Radio 66, a station dedicated to classic rock 45s from the 50s, 60s and 70s.
To listen to Country A-Go-Go, download the TuneIn app or go to TuneIn.com.

For those of you who are in the process of booking a band for your wedding reception, you may be wondering how many hours you should hire your band for. No one wants their wedding reception to feel too short, or for guests to feel like it’s dragging on too long. So what’s the norm?
The standard block of time is 4 hours, which is also the typical reception length at venues, and 5 hours is plenty. If permitted by the venue, most bands recommend booking a 4-hour block to start and extending an additional hour the night-of if the dance floor is packed (rather than securing a 5-hour block up front). For your ceremony and cocktail hour music, consider going through the same entertainment vendor to keep things simple and easy (a smaller ensemble of musicians, or recorded music through the band’s DJ, if available). If you want to mix things up, you can of course consider bringing in separate vendors for your ceremony and cocktail hour music, such as string musicians for the ceremony and a bluegrass trio for cocktail hour. Going through one entertainment vendor for all music will be your most cost effective option, however.
Another option to discuss with your band is the possibility of having the band’s DJ play recorded music for that extra hour, should you decide to extend the 4-hour block at the end of the night. This is always the most cost effective option, rather than paying for 8 band members to perform—and it gives you a bit of a different vibe!

The National Consumer Complaint Database (NCCDB) allows consumers to file complaints regarding household goods moving companies, including brokers, carriers and freight forwarders. This system also allows HHG companies the ability to view the individual details of the complaints and to challenge duplicate or fraudulent complaints.
In order to access this system, please visit:
The following table reports the number of complaints lodged in the NCCDB against the selected HHG company in the last four years. When making comparison between companies, it is important to take into account the size of the companies. Larger companies are capable of handling more moves; and therefore, are more likely to have complaints lodged against them. The data shown above under fleet size can be used for assessing the size of a company.

What did you do at breakfast time this morning?My mouthfuls of breakfast were interspersed by taking frame after frame of an unfolding miracle birth. Here's why.
With the arrival of the summer weather (finally!) it has prompted some residents of our garden wildlife pond to move into the next phase of their amazing life-cycle. After re-establishing our pond around four years ago, we had been delighted that the dragonflies had chosen to lay their eggs in it shortly afterwards. Since then, we have been eagerly awaiting the day when the nymphs of the Southern Hawker dragonfly Aeshna cyanea, would crawl out at the end of their three years of maturing. Surviving by preying on other small creatures, such as tadpoles and other aquatic insects that live in the pond, we have watched as the tiny nymphs have grown bigger each year. Finally, on Sunday, we were excited to spot the signs that our first 'brood' were on the move, as empty nymph cases littered the sedge leaves.
So this morning, I set the alarm early and arrived at the pond-edge to find several new empty cases from those nymphs which had metamorphosed during the night, as is the nature of most of the Odonata family. However, there are always those that are the late risers and it was not difficult to find one such nymph. With the pond-edge being less than ideal to sit and photograph from, I make no apologies for then making life easy for myself. With one very restless nymph and a pot set up very quickly with a few blades of sedge I set myself up in my kitchen with nothing more than my little G12, and waited.
After a few attempts to climb the sedge, I watched as it finally clamped itself to a blade and started wriggling, followed very shortly by the splitting of the nymph case along the back of the thorax, almost missing the start as it happened so quickly.And so the series of images began- needless to say it took rather a long time for me to finish my breakfast as the literally, unfolding birth that was happening in front of me was truly captivating. Even having watched the event before, it still never ceases to amaze me how such a stunning insect can emerge from such an aggressive-looking creature.
After around an hour and a half it had reached the stage shown above, and that is unfortunately, where I had to leave it for a while whilst I attended to other business. Carefully moving it to the safety of an (empty) old fish tank in a quiet corner of the garden, I left it in the drying out stage. Returning four hours later, I was pleased to find the transformation almost complete. Lifting the assemblage from the safety of the tank, the first wafts of warm summer air hit the wings of the female Southern Hawker and with that, gave a litle flutter and off she buzzed on her maiden flight.
Below are the series of images, and if they prompt just one adult or child to look out for and watch the amazing spectacle, then I will be very happy indeed. It should be experienced at least once in a lifetime.

Chairman of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Innocent Chukwuma, has faulted the media attacks on Abia State Governor Alex Otti for his recent purchase of 20 Toyota-branded vans for security agencies in Abia State.
Chukwuma who stated this on Friday at Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA during his visit to Abia State governor, Alex Otti, described Otti as the number one promoter of the Innoson brand.
“He’s the number one marketer of Innoson. Most of the vehicles bought by the government in this state, Abia, are Innoson vehicles and they are happy with the vehicles.”
He thanked Otti for his continued patronage and support.
On the current brouhaha that Otti shunned Innoson motors for Toyota, Chukwuma defended the governor, saying that Otti had placed an order for 20 security pick-up vans from his company, which the government needed urgently but were not available at that period of demand as Innoson had run out of stock at that period.
He noted that his company’s inability to supply the 20 vans at the urgent period of need, may have informed the governor’s option for another brand which according to Chukwuma, should not earn Otti criticisms.
The founder of Nigeria’s indigenous vehicle manufacturing company who also used the visit to announce his company’s plans to establish Compressed Natural Gas, GNG plant in Abia for use by diesel and petrol vehicles, disclosed that IVM is presently negotiating with officials of the Abia State government to set up a servicing and vehicles repairing centre in the State.
Receiving the business mogul, Governor Otti promised to maintain his support for the Nigerian indigenous vehicle manufacturing company and disclosed his administration has already purchased no fewer than 40 Innoson brands of vehicles.
He added that arrangements were ongoing to procure more vehicles, including 24 vehicles for members of Abia State House of Assembly.
The Governor reminded the Innoson Chairman that his own (Governor’s) official vehicle was still awaited from his company, to which the carmaker quickly promised to deliver by next week.
He assured IVM of the Abia State government’s readiness to partner with the brand, saying that the initiatives would create jobs for Abia youths and contribute to the State’s economic growth.
Akelicious recalls that Abia’s political space has been awash in the past four days with mountains of criticisms from the opposition members against Governor Otti’s purchase of Toyota vehicles for security agencies during the launch of Abia’s combined security outfit, Operation Crush.
The opposition members, including some PDP chieftains, had faulted the governor for shunning Innoson for another brand, despite the fact that he used Nigerian brands to campaign before his election as governor.

Manufacturer Miller Brewing Company
Miller Lite, also known simply as Lite, is a 4.2% abv pale lager light beer brand sold by MillerCoors of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Miller Lite competes with Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light beer. The company also produces Miller Genuine Draft and Miller High Life.

The light beer project miller lite wins gold in 2016
Miller Lite was essentially the first mainstream light beer. After its first inception as "Gablinger's Diet Beer," developed in 1967 by Joseph L. Owades, PhD, a biochemist working for New York's Rheingold Brewery, the recipe was given (by the inventor of the light beer process) to one of Miller's competing breweries, Chicago's Meister Brau, which came out with the Meister Brau "Lite" brand in the late 1960s. When Meister Brau ran into financial problems and sold its labels to Miller in 1972, the recipe was relaunched simply as "Lite" on packaging and in advertising (with "Lite Beer from Miller" being its "official" name until the late '90s) in the test markets of Springfield, Illinois, Knoxville, Tennessee, and San Diego, California, in 1973, and heavily marketed using masculine pro sports players and other, so-called, macho figures of the day in an effort to sell to the key beer-drinking male demographic. Miller Lite was introduced nationally in 1975. Miller's heavy-advertising approach worked where the two previous light beers had failed, and Miller's early production totals of 12.8 million barrels quickly increased to 24.2 million barrels by 1977 as Miller rose to 2nd place in the American brewing marketplace. Other brewers responded, in particular Anheuser-Busch with its heavily advertised Bud Light in 1982, which eventually overtook Lite in sales by 1994. Anheuser-Busch played on the branding style of "Lite" by highlighting the fact that their beer was called "Bud Light," as "everything else is just a light." In 1992 light beers became the biggest domestic beer in America, and in 1998, Miller relabeled its "Lite" brand as "Miller Lite."
In 2008 Miller Brewing Company test-marketed three new recipes – an amber, a blonde ale, and a wheat – under the Miller Lite brand, marketed as Miller Lite Brewers Collection.
In December 2013, as part of a product placement marketing campaign with the film Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Miller reintroduced the 1974 navy-blue blackletter font "Lite" packaging on its 16-US-fluid-ounce (470 ml) cans for a limited time (the original 1972 cans used a light-blue script logo). However, the vintage packaging succeeded so well that by September 2014, the company decided to switch back to the vintage packaging full-time, including on bottles and tap handles, mirroring the unexpected success that PepsiCo had in 2009 with its Pepsi Throwback & Mountain Dew Throwback lines in tapping into the retro-themed packaging market. The unexpected sales increase, combined with wanting to differentiate the packaging from Bud Light, were factors in the decision, with some consumers even stating that Miller actually improved on the taste when nothing changed in the beer itself.
Miller Lite won the World Beer Cup's gold medal for Best American-Style Light Lager in 1996, 1998, 2012, 2013, and 2016. It also won the Great American Beer Festival's silver medal in 2003 in the same category. At the 2010 and 2014 Great American Beer Festival, Miller Lite won the gold medal for Best American Style Lager or Light Lager, beating out Miller Genuine Draft, which received the bronze.
Miller Lite's long-running "Great Taste...Less Filling!" advertising campaign was ranked by Advertising Age magazine as the eighth best advertising campaign in history. The campaign was developed by the advertising agency McCann-Erickson Worldwide. In the prime of the campaign, television commercials typically portrayed a Miller Lite drinker noting its great taste followed by another who observed that it was less filling. This usually led to a parody of Wild West saloon fights in which every patron got involved in the dispute for no real reason, though in this case it was always a shouting match, and blows were never thrown. The commercials were closed with a voiceover from actor Eddie Barth, who read the slogan, "Lite Beer from Miller: Everything you've always wanted in a beer. And less."
To attract 'Joe Sixpack' to a light beer, these commercials started to feature both elite ex-athletes such as Ray Nitschke, Ben Davidson, and Bubba Smith but also oddball cultural figures such as Mickey Spillane (accompanied by a blonde, Lee Meredith, who is better known for her role as Ulla, the secretary in The Producers), and comedian Rodney Dangerfield. As the series of commercials went on, it began featuring athletes and celebrities of all sorts. Some commercials from this era include:
As the popularity of the ads and the number of athletes and celebrities that appeared in them grew, Miller produced occasional "alumni" ads featuring all of the stars, generally in some sort of competition between the 'Less Fillings' and the 'Taste Greats'. The ads usually ended with Rodney Dangerfield somehow being the goat of the losing team. In one of the last spots to feature Dangerfield, the Miller Lite alumni are competing in a bowling match. It is the last frame of a tie game, and Ben Davidson grumbles to Dangerfield, "All we need is one pin, Rodney." Dangerfield rolls the ball down the lane, only to have it bounce horizontally off the head pin and into the gutter, knocking down zero pins.
As part of this campaign, Miller Brewing ran a series of highly distinctive television commercials in the winter of 1993–1994 showing several fictitious "extreme sports" such as "Wiener Dog Drag Racing" (which featured two wiener dogs racing each other at a drag racing strip), "Sumo High Dive" (which depicted a Japanese sumo wrestler diving off a platform) and "The Miss Perfect Face-Off" (which featured beauty pageant contestants playing ice hockey). The tag line that followed was, "If you can combine great taste with less filling, you can combine anything." and the question "Can your beer do this?"
In 1995-1996, Miller Lite ran the "Life Is Good" campaign, which showed Miller Lite drinkers' aspirational transition to more fun via a Miller Lite bottle tap, like "Beach Rewind", where three men on a beach admired three beautiful women walking by, and could rewind, and enjoy, the scene repeatedly. The campaign was developed by Leo Burnett Company, and received the American Marketing Association EFFIE award for outstanding advertising effectiveness. The campaign included celebrities such as Larry Bird, Keith Jackson, and Richard Karn.
Beginning January 12, 1997, a series of surrealistic Miller Lite ads, purportedly made by a man named "Dick", began to air. They were hallmarked as such either at the beginning or the end of the commercial. The campaign was developed by Minneapolis-based ad agency Fallon. The series of "Dick" commercials was directed by Gerald Casale of the new wave band Devo. Such commercials include one where a middle-aged man sees the message "twist to open" on a Miller Lite bottle cap, and he proceeds to do the Twist.
The ad campaign changed back to using high-profile celebrities who were either on opposite ends of the spectrum or had bragging rights to exchange with the other. Notable pairings included the following:
In 2002, "Catfight", another high-profile commercial in the long-running "Great Taste...Less Filling" campaign, was denounced by critics as depicting women as sexual objects. The commercial featured two women, a blonde (Tanya Ballinger) and a brunette (Kitana Baker), discussing the classic "Great Taste/Less Filling" debate, except they engaged in a catfight, hence the ad's title, with the fight moving from a fountain to a mud pit, with the girls stripping each other of their clothing in the process. An uncensored version of the commercial ended in the muddy beauties, stripped down to their underwear, sharing a passionate kiss. The girls received much publicity from the commercial, and later starred in a few related commercials, videos and events.
In 2006, Miller Lite had an advertising campaign called Man Laws featuring celebrities that include actor Burt Reynolds, professional wrestler Triple H, comedian Eddie Griffin, and former American football player Jerome Bettis. The celebrities and other actors were in a "Men of the Square Table", a group meeting where they discuss different situations that should be included in the "Man Laws". The ads were developed by the ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky/Miami, and were directed by comedy film director Peter Farrelly.
In June 2010, commercials premiered featuring actresses Lindsey McKeon and Nadine Heimann as bartenders.
Miller Brewing Company began their NASCAR sponsorship in 1983 with driver Bobby Allison, advertising the Miller High Life brand and later in 1990 with driver Rusty Wallace, advertising the Miller Genuine Draft brand. In 1997, the company began advertising the Miller Lite brand on Wallace's #2 Penske Racing car. The car later earned the nickname "Blue Deuce", due to its number and blue paint scheme. Wallace retired following the 2005 season, and Kurt Busch was named as his replacement. Busch drove the "Blue Deuce" from 2006 to 2010. The car is currently driven by Brad Keselowski, who won the 2012 Sprint Cup Series championship.
Other promotion in motorsport included the sponsoring of Don Prudhomme's Larry Dixon-driven NHRA top fuel dragster from 1997 to 2007. Prior to that, Dixon was sponsored by Miller Genuine Draft. Additionally, Miller Brewing sponsored the Unlimited hydroplane of R.B. "Bob" Taylor in 1984 with the U-7 "Lite All-Star", driven by Tom D'Eath. The following year, Miller switched teams and brands with the "Miller American" Unlimited hydroplane owned by Fran Muncey and Jim Lucero--which resulted in the 1985 National Championship, and APBA Gold Cup wins in 1985, 1986, and 1987, driven by Chip Hanauer.

Predicting foundation response for offshore wind turbines Supervised by Britta Bienen, Conleth O’Loughlin
The aim of this research is to predict the installation and in service response of suction buckets supporting offshore wind turbines. This foundation concept is now being adopted in offshore wind farm designs. Following self-weight penetration into the seabed, the bucket is installed by pumping water out of the bucket, which creates a pressure differential across the lid and drives further penetration. In service, the foundation needs to resist the cyclic loading imposed on the turbine from the ocean environment. The mechanisms of suction installation (in layered soils in particular) and the effects of the installation process on the soil state are poorly understood. The evolution of foundation stiffness and displacement underpin the design. The research will be predominantly experimental, utilising recently developed purposedesigned experimental facilities. The project is a collaboration with Lloyd’s Register EMA and Melbourne University.

On Monday the 3rd of April, the Council of Europe’s Committee on Artificial Intelligence (CAI) will kick off its work towards the long anticipated AI Treaty. We are honoured that ALLAI co-founder Virginia Dignum will speak at the Inaugural Meeting of the CAI (High-Level Segment) and that ALLAI is an official Observer to the CAI.
What is the CAI?
The CAI is the successor of the CAHAI (the ad-hoc committee on Artificial Intelligence of the Council of Europe)*, and will be tasked with developing a legal instrument on AI based on the Council of Europe’s standards on human rights, democracy and the rule of law, an AI Treaty.
An AI Treaty
Where the ethics of AI were at the center of the debate in 2018 and 2019, the impact of AI on human rights, democracy and the rule of law started receiving the attention it deserves from 2020 and onwards. “AI impacts virtually all human rights, ranging from privacy to non-discrimination and from freedom speech to freedom of demonstration.” says ALLAI President Catelijne Muller, who authored an expert report for the CAHAI, that serves as a building block for the work towards a European AI Treaty.
“The CAI will be developing probably the most important document of our time. A legal instrument to protect the very foundations of our society in a world with AI: our human rights, our democracy and our rule of law. This instrument will determine what a world with AI will look like.” says Catelijne.
“It also remains important to keep AI researchers and experts involved in the discussions around AI regulation, though, says ALLAI co-founder Virginia Dignum, a long time AI developer and researcher herself. “They will be able to tell you how the technology works and why these inner workings lead to human rights’ impacts. Without this understanding, any regulation runs the risk of failing to achieve its objectives.”
ALLAI’s involvement in the work of the CAI
In 2020, by unanimous vote of the Heads of Delegations of the Member States, ALLAI was accepted as on of the 26 Observers** to the CAHAI and is continuing this position for the CAI. As such ALLAI will have first hand insights of the developments within the CAI, the direction in which the negotiations on the AI Treaty are going and will be able to continue contributing to the work of the CAI. The work of the CAI is anticipated to be concluded in November 2023.
* * *
* The CAHAI was tasked with examining the feasibility of a legally binding instrument on AI and developing such an instrument, based on the Council of Europe’s standards on human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
** Other observers are (a.o.): GPAI, Partnership on AI, Human Rights Watch, CCBE and INRIA.

WHY CHOOSE ALLIED AS PART OF YOUR BIRTH PLAN
The birth of your child may be one of the most momentous occasions in your life. When partnering with an Allied anesthesiologist, you have an ally whose main goal is to assist with your delivery plan, while ensuring a positive and stress-free experience for mothers, families, and their new babies. Allied Anesthesiologists are clinical experts in obstetric anesthesia, supporting over 13,000 deliveries annually, providing effective pain relief and a wide range of anesthetic services to expectant mothers. Our anesthesiologists place epidurals and utilize general and other anesthetic techniques in the best labor and delivery suites throughout Southern California. Allied Anesthesia’s expertly trained anesthesiologists are highly focused on pain management, and mother and infant wellbeing, both during and after delivery.
WHY CHOOSE ALLIED FOR YOUR OFFICE BASED PROCEDURE
Allied Anesthesia works with healthcare facilities in a number of different ways. Be it Plastic Surgery, Eye, In-Vitro Fertilization, Bariatrics, or other office based programs, we work as true partners, offering excellent clinical care from a well managed group with a proven track record of success.
In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Today, most doctors use sedation during IVF procedures, including regional anesthesia, “conscious sedation,” in which the patient is awake and can respond to commands, and general anesthesia, in which the patient is asleep. At Allied, we work with multiple IVF clinics to provide anesthesia during the egg retrieval process. Propofol is our anesthetic of choice for IVF procedures for a few reasons:
While we highly recommend incorporating a skilled anesthesiologist into the egg retrieval process, we strongly encourage women undergoing egg retrieval to have a conversation with their doctor about how best to minimize discomfort and optimize results.
Allied Anesthesia provides anesthesia services for several specialty dental facilities. We’re the ideal partner for cosmetic surgery centers, advanced dental facilities and dental implant centers that require skilled anesthesiologists.
The best ASCs staff the best doctors because they know doing so is the simplest way to achieve excellence in safety, efficiency and quality, which all lead to better patient and surgeon satisfaction.
A Custom-Designed Team
Allied provides each ASC with a small team of anesthesiologists selected to fit the needs of that ASC, whether it be pediatrics, regional, preoperative assessment or management.
Allied physicians work as part of your team to ensure proper ASC patient selection. If needed, we also design and implement specialized selection algorithms for patient selection. Our fast turnover times allow for more procedures in a shorter time, without compromising quality. And our experience with regional blocks means patients are discharged sooner, and surgeries that once required an overnight can be done on an outpatient basis.
A Team With Regional Awareness and Sensitivity
We serve numerous ASCs, provide multiple ASC medical directorships and manage several ASCs in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. That wide network has given us sensitivity to the medical, political and financial realities of ASCs in the Southern California region. It’s also given us the flexibility to customize anesthesia services at each ASC to fit its needs.
Supported by the Latest Technology
The Allied team believes in the power of technology to create better patient and surgeon satisfaction because we’ve seen it in action. That’s why we provide web-based, real-time information sharing on best practices for clinical management and surgeon preferences, tailored to each service site.
WHY CHOOSE ALLIED FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT SERVICES
When you work with Allied Anesthesia, you and your patients are treated by some of the most experienced pain management specialists in the nation. Pain management is a growing field, and providing these services can help your facility stand out. Our award-winning Pain Management Team can either help you develop and staff an in-house pain management clinic, or recommend a trusted group to handle pain management referrals from your facility.
PAIN MANAGEMENT FOR POST-OP PAIN
When surgery or typical medical techniques cannot address a patient’s pain, the Allied Team can help. From developing plans for oral pain management to administering intravenous or epidural anesthesia to alleviate pain, Allied anesthesiologists have the expertise to give patients truly comprehensive care.
We specialize in post-op pain management blocks, which allow patients to go home sooner—or even leave the same day—transforming many of yesterday’s inpatient surgeries into outpatient procedures.
CHRONIC NECK & BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT
Disc herniation, sciatic, neck, and back pain are some of the most frustrating conditions patients can experience. At Allied, we understand this. That is why we offer comprehensive outpatient procedures that get patients back to living life. We provide the timely service patients need, and report to their referring physicians.

Because why wouldn’t it? And hopefully, it won’t go too fast!
Well, we made it to Friday, and with that comes the promise of more commercials!
Yesterday, we watched commercials from November 2002, airing on a late-evening broadcast of a rerun on a basic cable network. Today, we’re watching commercials from one of the “Big Three” networks, from June 2001. The date on the tape label says June 5, 2001. The program was an episode of The Rosie O’Donnell Show, and Jimmy Fallon (who was hosting the MTV Movie Awards that week) was a guest.
If you told me 18 years ago that he would be hosting The Tonight Show, I would have told you you’re lying.
Included in this block of commercials:
Connecticut Governor John Rowland and his wife try witty banter as a selling point to get you to visit Connecticut during the summer of 2001!
Hidden Valley Ranch…now in a squeeze bottle!
Before Dad Bod, there was K-Mart commercials celebrating Father’s Day, and clothes for dads!
Michael Bloomberg…for Mayor!
I have nothing about this, other than the fact that it is a coffee commercial, and the Twin Towers were still a glorious part of the New York City skyline.
And finishing your chores so you can go on a date…priceless.
So go on, click play and relive the early summer of 2001 in all its glory!
I used to watch The Rosie O’Donnell Show when it was on, and sometimes, not just because there was a guest on I wanted to see. I loved her talk show!
I still find it hard to believe this guy became a talk show host. He always seemed so nervous!
And he never combed his hair!
These Throwback Thursday/Flashback Friday commercial blocks are a fun treat, and a nice way to usher in the weekend!
Because when we get to see Mighty Mouse being selfish in the name of cheese, and a parting shot of the Twin Towers in a commercial that celebrates New York and coffee, then I know I’m doing something right!
Have a fantastic Flashback Friday, and a great weekend!

Book review: Rutgers v. Waddington: Alexander Hamilton, the End of the War for Independence, and the Origins of Judicial Review by Peter Charles Hoffer (Kansas University Press, 2016).
During the Revolutionary War, a widow named Elizabeth Rutgers and her sons were forced to abandon their brewery when the British occupied New York City in 1776. Upon their return, they demanded rent from Joshua Waddington, a Tory who had been occupying and running their establishment from 1778 until displaced by a New York state law enacted in 1783, restoring property to Patriots who had previously abandoned the city. Under the plain construction of the Trespass Act, one part of the elaborate “Loyalist code” meant to punish Tories and encourage them to mend their ways, it was quite clear that Rutgers was entitled to generous compensation from Waddington. In early 1784, the Rutgers would initiative a lawsuit in the city’s Mayor’s Court.
In Waddington’s defense his lawyer argued a brilliant, novel defense that relied upon a learned reading of the Laws of Nations (and its subset the Laws of War) that, coupled with the New York Constitution’s incorporation of the English common law into that of New York’s, he argued, trumped the statutory law as the governing authority. In addition, he continued, a proper reading of the recently ratified Treaty of Paris’s provisions regarding Tory property similarly barred the Trespass Act’s application to the case at bar, another novel assertion that had far reaching implications for the young nation. The Trespass Act thus disposed with, under this young and relatively newly minted lawyer’s logic, Waddington’s payment to the lawful British authorities largely ought to absolve him of any obligation to Rutgers.
Now, Rutgers was ably represented by her relative and State’s Attorney General, Egbert Benson, who was acting in his private capacity in this case (a situation unimaginable to today’s lawyer, but not uncommon at the time). Benson was a well-respected lawyer of substantial experience. Further, he had served in both the state’s constitutional convention and the assembly that had enacted the Trespass Act, placing him in an authoritative position to interpret both documents. After the litigation he would go on to receive further offices and honors.
But in the annals of American history Benson was a nobody next to Waddington’s relatively young and less experienced counsel, none other than Super Patriot and “ten dollar founding father” Alexander Hamilton.
Peter Charles Hoffer’s Rutgers vs Waddington: Alexander Hamilton, the End of the War for Independence, and the Origins of Judicial Review recounts and thoroughly examines this important but largely forgotten episode of Confederation-era history, and considers its importance as a political as well as a legal event. This new entry in Kansas University Press’s Landmark Law Cases and American Society series uses Rutgers to discourse on many aspects of Revolutionary New York. Hoffer covers both city and state politics, its tavern culture and court system, and the new generation of lawyers that emerged largely as a result of the state’s extensive series of laws aimed at keeping Tories out of public life, including bench and bar.
Hamilton in fact had made a lucrative niche for himself in representing Tories like Waddington in war-related property disputes, eventually handing over sixty such cases. It was not primarily the fees that attracted Hamilton, but the principle of law such cases involved. By honoring its treaty commitments and demonstrating it could put the Confederation’s legal obligations above parochial political considerations, America could also demonstrate that it was a serious country, worthy of respectful intercourse with other nations. He also recognized the dangers that persecuting Tories, particularly those in New York who possessed a great deal of intellectual capital, posed to both the young nation and to the city that sought what Hamilton saw as its rightful place as the leading commercial center.
At the heart of the Rutgers’ case was New York’s Loyalist code, a set of laws enacted to punish leading Loyalists and coerce others into supporting the Patriot cause. Loyalists were subject to many legal penalties and among them were the provisions found in the state’s Trespass Act, which allowed Patriots to sue loyalists who had used their property during the war for back rent thus sweeping aside standard common law defenses that might otherwise have protected Loyalists who had complied with the rule of the lawful British authorities at the time. While the law had not been enacted in 1783 it was given retroactive effect.
With New York’s law heavily stacked against his client, Hoffer writes that Hamilton chose to make the case about the nature of the confederation and the future of the union. He eschewed pursuit of a legal tactic that might have protected his client but would not have afforded him the opportunity to use the case of a large project of rehabilitating loyalists into New York’s political life. In Rutgers Hoffer detects a larger pattern in Hamilton’s legal practice in which he was already creating an intellectual framework for “a strong national government behind which stood men of property; an orderly and sound world …”
Law in Colonial America was much different in form and practice from today, and even a reader with legal training today would likely have great difficulty following many of aspects of colonial cases. The relationships between colonial state law, the common law, English law, international law and even the law of nature were unclear. This gave lawyers who had thought deeply on the nature of law and government, such as Hamilton, additional angles to argue, and their clients an edge. Fortunately, Hoffer has authored numerous books on colonial legal history and some of its most important cases. He is a sure footed guide, keeping his reader from getting confused by the arcane aspects of a bygone era when law was separate from equity and “form pleading,” the bane of a sloppy lawyer and his poor client. Where the record is incomplete, as is often the case from that period, Hoffer speculates intelligently on what likely occurred and why.
At only 130 pages of text, however, Rutgers v. Waddington must assume a fair amount of knowledge about the Revolution in general, and Alexander Hamilton in particular. An academic work, the prose is clear but spare. No one would confuse Hoffer with a David McCullough or Ron Chernow. A more detailed examination of some points, such as the tiny, cliquish nature of New York’s bar, go largely unexplored and would have added another dimension to understanding the personal dynamics involved. Moving much of the information in the final chapter regarding Hamilton and the nature of his enterprise forward would have helped break up some of the more dense legal discussion and propelled the story’s narrative.
Yet, Hoffers’ readers will come away with an expanded understanding of the Revolution from a legal standpoint, a deeper appreciation for the bitterness between Patriots and Loyalists, and the extent to which the New York community struggled with reconciliation (and the vital role law played in it). Livingstons, Schuylers, DeLanceys all make an appearance. James Duane plays an important role in the story as mayor and judge. Those interested in Hamilton will gain insight into the important but lesser examined period of his life between the Revolution and Treasury through which we can gain a glimpse into the development of his thinking that would shape his approach towards creating a new government and as its first Treasury Secretary. For the relatively small investment of time, Rutgers v. Waddington is therefore highly rewarding.
From their correspondence, it appears Rutgers would ultimate seek around $8,000, or roughly ten times what Waddington had offered in settlement.
In one of these roles, he would accompany Alexander Hamilton to the Annapolis Convention that initiated the call for the Philadelphia convention that would ultimately draft the Constitution. He would also be a member of the New York Convention that ratified the US Constitution. Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, s.v. “Egbert Benson,” (accessed February 22, 2016), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egbert_Benson.
Apologies to Lin Manual Miranda.
Among those portrayed despite not appearing for either party in Rutgers is Hamilton’s nemesis Aaron Burr. Burr was among the leading members of the postwar bar, who had made representation of Patriots in such cases an important part of his practice. Despite benefitting from this law, though, Hamilton worked for its repeal as contrary to the public interest. Hoffer, Rutgers v. Waddington, 99.
Francis Paschal, “The Law Practice of Alexander Hamilton, edited by Julius Goebel, Jr.,” Indiana Law Journal: Vol. 40: Iss. 4, Article 7 (1965): 603, accessed February 19, 2016, http://www.repository.law.indiana.edu/ilj/vol40/iss4/7). It was not the Loyalists themselves he was trying to protect, but the establishment of their property rights, which he saw as a vital part of rebuilding New York’s economy. Hoffer, Rutgers v, Waddington, 99.
Hamilton’s practice was lucrative, but his fees were not nearly what he could have charged. He tried to dissuade litigation and would not accept fees larger than he believed warranted even though as a member of a very small bar (around 40) he could have easily obtained them. See Ron Chernow, Alexander Hamilton (New York, Penguin Press, 2004), 188. The Rutgers case only netted him nine pounds, but opened his door to many more Trespass Act cases. Hoffer, Rutgers v. Waddington, 97.
Hoffer, Rutgers v. Waddington, 23.
Specifically, he might have removed the case to the chancellor’s court, presided over by the sympathetic Robert Livingston and where rules of equity, or fairness, would have governed rather than the outcome rather than the Trespass Act. Hamilton had written such a motion, but never filed it with the court. Ibid., 58, 64.
Ibid., 63
For instance, he discusses a related pamphlet exchange in which Hamilton lays out his understanding of the Tories’ place in society under the name Phocion, which drew a contrary response from Mentor. For many years historians thought Mentor might be a local physician, but Hoffer makes an interesting case that Aaron Burr might have been the author.

Haskayne researcher advocates for ninja training to help leaders deal with real-world complexities
The legendary Japanese ninja stayed calm and effective while dealing with fast-moving dangers, constant change and life-threatening scenarios. Taking inspiration from this, a Haskayne School of Business researcher is now advocating for MBA students to learn ninja philosophy to deal with the complexities they may face in the business world.
Dr. Julian Norris, PhD'09, an instructor in the Haskayne School of Business, says learning how to keep "ninja-cool" in stressful situations is an important skill for business leaders. In the first published paper discussing ninja training in management education, Norris describes how the learning needed for complexity leadership may require deep shifts in worldview that can be aided by transformative experiences that incorporate the body and not just the mind. The article, “Ninja Training Meets Management Education: Integrating Taijutsu into an MBA Complexity Leadership Course,” appears in the Journal of Management Education.
While scholars agree that leaders need humility, courage and tolerance for uncertainty in order to best deal with complex situations, there is no agreement on how best to cultivate these qualities in MBA students. Exploring concepts from taijutsu — literally “body technique” — is one way to address this “core challenge,” Norris says.
“You don't have access to the full range of your most skillful self under all circumstances, and perhaps when you most need it,” says Norris. “Imagine you are faced with cascading complexity and stress and anxious employees. You may need to be at your best, but your reactive self may actually be at its worst in those moments.”
Bringing leadership skills to bear in a tense situation is something Norris likens to the difference between singing along to a song while alone your car and having to perform the song in Carnegie Hall with “a thousand stern faces gazing up at you.” While you can easily belt out the song in private, on stage your body would tense up, your heart would pound and your voice would squeak. “You'd be completely unable to do this thing that, under another circumstance, you could do perfectly well,” he says.
Moving from the metaphorical stage to the classroom, Norris argues that exploring the power of taijutsu is one way to help students become more self-aware, less reactive and more conscious. “We are finding embodied ways to draw from martial arts traditions to help prepare a generation of leaders who can really thrive in high-stakes, complex environments, make wise decisions and bring their most skillful selves — the full spectrum of their intelligence — to bear when they most need it.”

Straight-up force or power can be of little use in these scenarios. Rather, a leader needs to understand the dynamics and dig deep for the skills to deal with the situation. “The complexity which characterizes so much of our world is all about relational dynamics, about the connections between things, and being aware of those and moving skillfully with them,” Norris says.
Norris’ research explores several martial arts training drills that have been used in class for students to practise handling difficult situations. While not advocating that educators necessarily replicate the drills, Norris argues ninja training is one way of answering some of the big questions facing management education today.
“How do you go about cultivating curiosity and humility?” he says. “How do you teach people to access a flow state in which they're way more productive and able to adapt nimbly to rapidly changing circumstances? How do we educate people for the reality of the world and decision-making in very high-stakes situations? How do we give them not only the cognitive tools, but the capabilities that make those cognitive tools and skills come alive?”

If you’ve suffered from a personal injury due to a trip and fall accident, often the last thing on your mind is pursuing legal action. You might want to forget the whole thing, or you’re simply focused on recovering from your injuries.
Accidents are always a shock, and sometimes embarrassing. This makes it easy to overlook any responsibility on another’s part. A trip and fall case is especially tricky as there’s usually no second party present to blame.
But if you’ve suffered from a personal injury in any way, and it wasn’t your fault, you should be compensated! This time can be stressful and confusing, but if you act quickly in seeking an accident lawyer, you’ll be way more likely to get the compensation you deserve.
Why do you need an accident lawyer?
Be taken seriously
If you try to take on your case yourself, you’re putting yourself in a vulnerable position. It’s important to remember that you’re going up against an insurance company, not just against the business or property owner. If you’re unrepresented, an insurance company is highly unlikely to accept liability. They’re likely to assume that you don’t take your case seriously, and that the case itself is weak.
A trip and fall lawyer will automatically draw respect from the insurance company and allow a much smoother channel of communication. Having a professional represent you and your case will put you in a much stronger position.
It may seem like the easiest solution to simply represent yourself, but it’s pretty much impossible to be objective when you’ve been personally affected. Emotions can run high, and as neutral as you think you could be, it’s easier said than done.
Without an objective party on your side, you could seriously hinder your case. Why run the risk? An accident lawyer will give you objective and professional representation, saving you a lot of stress and hassle, and getting you the best possible outcome.
Without legal representation for your trip and fall case, you leave yourself in an easy position to be looked over. Insurance companies are likely to delay your case by being slow to respond and taking advantage of your lack of legal support.
Our accident lawyers know the ins and outs of trip and fall cases. They know the best ways to move things forward and how to avoid any unnecessary, and sometimes deliberate, delays.
Finding a knowledgeable and reliable accident lawyer is vital when you’ve suffered from a trip or fall that caused you a personal injury. We provide the support and care that you deserve during such a stressful and complicated time.
Don’t try to take it all on yourself, it will only cause you more stress and prevent you from receiving the compensation that’s rightfully yours.
We’re here for you!

HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud, Chairman of Kingdom Holding Company (KHC) and HH Princess Ameerah Al-Taweel, Vice Chairwoman of Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation received Ambassador Stephen A. Seche, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Arabian Gulf in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at his office in Riyadh on Tuesday 18th October 2011. The meeting was also attended by Mr. Shadi Sanbar, KHC’s CFO, Ms. Nada Al Sugair, Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Mr. Mohamed Al Mujadidi, Senior Executive Manager, HRH the Chairman’s office, Ms. Heba Fatani, Senior Executive Manager, Corporate Communications and Dr. Nahla Alanbar, Private Executive Assistant to HRH the Chairman.
During their meeting HRH and Mr. Seche discussed business and economic issues, and the current status of the global economy. They also discussed Prince Alwaleed’s investments in the US in light of being one of the largest foreign investor there.
Also on the agenda of discussions during the meeting were women’s empowerment and Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation’s role in supporting this initiative. Moreover, the discussions revolved around the University Centers funded by Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation in the US for bridging the gap between East and West. These include a $20 million donation to Harvard University to create the University-wide Islamic Studies Program and $20 million donation to Georgetown University to create the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding both supported in 2005. In addition 2004, Alwaleed Foundation also made a $5 million donation to establish the Center for American Studies and Research (CASAR) at the American University in Beirut (AUB) and donated $10 million to finance both the construction of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUSS) building in the new campus of the American University in Cairo (AUC).
Recently, HRH received and held a dinner in honor of Mr. Larry Summers, Former Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and Former Director of the White House, United States National Economic Council for President Barack Obama. The meeting was also attended by Mr. Alberto Verme, CEO of Europe, Middle East, and Africa, Citigroup.
In May 2011, Prince Alwaleed was on a trip to the United States of America and during his visit to New York he met with Mr. Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of the City of New York and Founder of Bloomberg at the New York City Hall. Prince Alwaleed also attended the 15th Microsoft CEO Summit held at the Microsoft Conference. HRH’s visit was in response to an invitation from Mr. Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft to attend the event. During the same trip Prince Alwaleed granted interviews to prominent US media entities to discuss various topics such as his investments, the current status of the global economy and the Middle East.
HRH has significant investments in the US in the financial sector via Citigroup, in the media and entertainment sector through News Corporation, in the hotel sector through the Fairmont New York Plaza one of New York’s most distinctive landmarks, Four Seasons hotel via the management of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts in which KHC hold a 47.5% interest, and in retail via SAKS Fifth Avenue.
Prince Alwaleed first invested in Citigroup in 1991, and is the largest single shareholder in Citigroup. In January 2008, Prince Alwaleed privately participated in a $12.5 billion private offering of convertible preferred securities of Citigroup. The direct investment was made alongside an exclusive group of leading international investors. The Prince converted the preferred shares in 2009 into common shares (voting shares) at $3.25 per share (32.50 after 10:1 reverse stock split).
HRH is the second largest shareholder in News Corp and also the beneficial owner of approximately 7 percent of News Corporation’s Class B Common Stock. The New York Plaza that is owned 50% by HRH through KHC underwent a $400 million renovation and reopened a few years ago. The hotel is managed by Fairmont Raffles Hotels International (FRHI) in which KHC holds a 35% interest.

Picture Story: United States
Josephine, on the left, is from the small fishing village of Togiak, Alaska, in the United States. Her first contact with Adventists was several years ago when she attended a Vacation Bible School (VBS) program. She was reluctant to go, but a friend’s persistence won her over. There she met Global Mission pioneer couple Chad and Liz. “I could feel their love for people the second I walked into the room,” she says. “Meeting them changed my life.” Chad and Liz shared Jesus’ love with Josephine even after VBS ended. They studied the Bible together, and Josephine decided to be baptized. “I’d never known love like this before,” she explains. “It was like someone had wrapped my shivering body in a big, warm blanket.” With Chad’s encouragement, Josephine became a counselor at Camp Polaris, a remote Adventist mission camp not far from her home. “I love working with children,” she says, smiling. “Now it’s my turn to wrap others in a warm blanket of love. It’s what I want to do for the rest of my life. Global Mission pioneers make a difference every day in the lives of young people like Josephine and inspire them to find God’s will for their lives.

The hours that the daycare provides are amazing! The location is very convenient as it is right off the interstate! In addition to daily care, they also provide a few extras, such as activities for the kids and date nights for the parents. The infant classes do a lot of art activities and I look forward to all the activities the daycare provides that my child can participate in as they get older.
One aspect my husband and I really enjoy is getting our child’s daily classroom sheet. It includes all of the bottles/food, diaper changes, and naps from throughout the day. It really helps us know what to expect once we get home. The teachers are very attentive and notice immediately if our child seems like they aren’t feeling well or didn’t sleep well. It’s great having our child surrounded by people that really care about him!

House Backs Ending US Support for Saudis in Yemen War
The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a resolution that would end U.S. support for the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in the war in Yemen, as many lawmakers sought to push President Donald
Trump to toughen his policy toward the kingdom.
The 248-177 vote would not be enough, however, to overcome Trump's promised veto of the war powers resolution.
Democrats and Republicans reintroduced the war powers resolution two weeks ago as a way to send a strong message to Riyadh about the humanitarian disaster in Yemen and condemn the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The administration — and many of Trump's fellow Republicans in Congress — said the resolution was inappropriate because U.S. forces had provided aircraft refueling and other support in the Yemen conflict, not combat troops. It also said the measure would harm relationships in the region and hurt the U.S. ability to prevent the spread of violent extremism.
The Senate is expected to vote on the resolution within 30 days.
A previous version of the resolution passed the Senate by 56-41 in December. But it was not brought up for a vote in the House, where Republicans held a majority until Democrats took control Jan. 3, following sweeping victories in November's elections.
The United States has supported the Saudi-led air campaign against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen with midair refueling, intelligence and targeting assistance.
December's Senate vote was the first time either chamber of Congress backed a resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from a military engagement under the War Powers Act. That law, passed in 1973, limits the president's ability to commit U.S. forces to potential hostilities without congressional approval.

My daughter Brooklyn who is 3 now was born with no right hand, like many people on here my wife and I had never heard of ABS. When she was born there was an initial shock that I think most people who have children born with a physical deformity. We had no idea from any ultrasound that she was going to be born with no hand, so needless to say we shocked. I did not really know what to expect, you have so many questions, and there really aren’t allot of answers out there. I guess questions about her life and how it will be, I had never really known anybody that had a physical deformity. As she gets older I see there is really nothing she can’t do, she just figures stuff out, its pretty amazing to watch her figure stuff out. She has always done that, from crawling to holding things, to putting socks and shoes on.
As time progresses with Brooklyn my wife and I get see the good and bad in alot of people, even though she is only 3. We have seen some strange things from parents and kids at parks etc, parents taking there kids away from Brooklyn because they don’t want to have to explain things to their own children. As Brooklyn gets older she now talks to kids about herself telling them that God made her special, she so far has built up a little defense mechanism that is sad to see, but I guess she is going to need. My wife and myself usually watch her pretty close, and we help when we can, when kids start teasing her , etc. But for the most part she’s has done remarkably well doing it on her own, and she is so smart that outwits most kids anyway. She does amazingly well, she climbs all over everything at home, park, wherever, I call her my little monkey. So far our lives with Brooklyn have brought us nothing but joy and amazement. Brooklyn nows goes to preschool, and is head over heals above the other students in her age group. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or just need advice.

Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in Aug. of 2021, the country has
been reeling from poverty, natural disaster, and isolation from the
Millions of people across Afghanistan continue to suffer for lack of basics, a
breakdown of infrastructure along with widespread hunger and disease.
The risk of Cholera and other contagious diseases, and the increasing
reach of famine threatens to undermine the basic well-being of generations
Add to that, the plight of women who have seen opportunities dwindle and
basic rights reduced to a limited indoor domestic subsistence. Across the
cities women & girls are unable to go to school and work which in turn has
decimated the role of NGOs who have had a major role in providing badly
needed help to Afghan people – all of which exacerbates the nation’s
Afghanistan’s literacy rate at the height of the US occupation was just over
50% for men and just under 30% for women. Today those rates have
plummeted while families endure starvation, unemployment and lack of
access to schools and jobs. Upwards of 90% of the Afghan population now
subsist below the poverty line, and according to a report by UNDP, those
numbers has risen to 97% by the end of 2022.
As a part of our commitment to offer educational resources to people
across Afghanistan we’ve partnered with ‘Herat Online School’, a UK-
based social impact nonprofit with the mission of empowering Afghan youth
through education. Formed by Angela Ghayour in response to Taliban’s
ban on girls’ education upon takeover of Afghanistan, ‘Herat Online School’
has set out to create equity in educational opportunity, encourage critical
thinking, and build capacity for Afghan youth to take control of their future.
We at ‘A More Balanced World’ consider this kind of partnerships as central
to the goal of expanding the spirit of a more just world and look forward to
collaborations at multiple levels between the two entities.

The Economic Times published a list of India’s fifty most valuable brands last month, based on data organized by UK based Brand Finance. The top rank was won again by Reliance Industries. India’s government-sponsored bank rose three ranks to become #2, its conservative financial policies and its wide reach in India are important factors, as is a top leadership team that is visionary; the State Bank of India is traded on the London and Mumbai stock exchanges but most of its shares are owned by the government. The third most valuable company is also state-run: Indian Oil Corporation. Employing over 100,000 Indians, IT outsourcer Tata Consultancy Services ranks fourth. Its sibling in the automotive business rose a notch on the heels of the Nano car. Tata Motors is ranked fifth.
Top 50 brands in India: Oil, Banks, IT, Cars lead

Amsterdam Tram 2 Map – GVB Lijn 2 Lijnkaart – 2019
Amsterdam Tram 2 – Tram 2 follows the same route as Tram 12, but heads to Amsterdam South after Rijksmuseum stop. It is very similar to Tram 12 for the tourist as Tram 2 & Tram 12 follow the same path from Centraal Station to the Museums. Tram 2 does not stop at Museumplein or Concertgebouw, but stops at a station very close to it (Van Baerlestraat). VondelPark is on the Tram 2 route.
Sites: Centraal Station, Dam Square, Palace, Spui, Flower Market, Leidseplein, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Museumplein & Concertgebouw with a short walk of less than 1km, Vondelpark
Comments: Very similar to Tram 12. Heads out to the suburbs after the stop between the Rijksmuseum and Concertgebouw.
Dutch Food To Try – Frites met Saus – Frites, or french fries, are everywhere in the Netherlands.
What differs is the amount of sauces that are available to dip your fries in. At Manneken Pis frite shop on Dam across from the Grasshopper has 20+ sauces. Try samurai, or my favorite, cheddar cheese which is not the cheese wi you may think it is when you see it. If you really want o go Dutch, ask for onions, uien(Ow-when) on top.

Why I wanted to draw with ants
I wanted to make a piece of art that explores the complexity of software engineering. When I imagine a huge codebase, I think of its emergent complexity and tangled, inter-connected parts. Its overall shape, if it can be said to have one, emerges from the actions of many individuals.
I thought about how to represent this, and one image that resonated with me was that of the ants’ nest. Ants are a perfect example of emergent complexity. No individual ant is an architect, but together, they build beautiful, complicated structures.
I started by looking for information about simulating ants’ nests. Apparently there is literature about this, and it’s fascinating. But the trick was that ant nests emerge, in part, based on the physics of the sand and dirt they’re built out of – exactly how a particle settles when placed by an ant. I wanted to build something in 2D, and I wanted to get right into the simulation without writing a lot of sand-physics, which meant I had to scrap the physical ant-nest simulation.
This led me back to searching, and searching led me to an entirely different class of ant simulations: ant colony optimization algorithms.
Ant colony optimization is an agent-based algorithm used to solve for the shortest path between two points in a graph. Agent-based simply means it’s an algorithm composed of individual routines (in this case, the ‘ants’), whose emergent behavior solves the problem.
How it works is very simple. Each ant leaves a trail of ‘pheremone’ along the path it walks. Ants leave one kind of pheremone after they leave the nest, and a different one after they find food. Ants looking for food try and find a trail of ‘food’ pheremone to follow, and ants looking for the nest try to follow the ‘home’ pheremone.
Ants that happen along a shorter path will be able to make the round-trip between nest and food faster. That means they’ll lay down a denser layer of pheremone. Ants arriving later preferentially follow the denser trail, and they will take this shorter route. Each individual ant works with very simple rules, but over time, the ants will find a better path between the two points.
I wrote my ant simulator in Processing 3. I started my implementation by emulating the code in this great blog post by Gregory Brown.
Once I had the ants moving, I started to expand and modify the code to work better on larger grids of pixels. I wanted interesting looking simulations – not necessarily effective ones – which guided how I iterated the simulation. I added very rudimentary ant vision, so that each ant could look a few pixels ahead. I added ant death and ant respawning, to keeps the ants from loosely diffusing over the entire space. Finally, I made the ants a little dumber: they would leave pheremone constantly, even if a search is unsuccessful, which is similar to real ant behavior.
You can also take a peak at the ported source code on Github.
What fascinated me about this simulation are the lovely, weird, and complicated shapes that the ants made. They don’t march in straight lines, but start to form loops, whorls, and branches. Even more fun, you can control the sort of shapes the ants make by altering different variables in their world. You can change the decay rate of the pheremone, for example, or how many pixels ahead the ants can ‘see’.
Turning ants into art
With my simulation working, the next step was to explore the actual output. My goal was to make a two dimensional image of some kind, which means I had to capture and draw the shapes made by the ants.
I ended up writing multiple kinds of output: several types of raster output, and one in vector. To capture raster output, I tracked which cells the ants had visited, and how often. By tinkering with filters on this output, you could get a ghostly trace of where the ants had been.
The raster output was attractive, but I wanted the individual paths to be clearer, so I also explored exporting as svg. For the vector output, I stored a history for each ant, and when they reached either home or the nest, saved that history to a list. To render, I sampled each saved path and drew it as a series of curves.
Connecting the dots
I knew I wanted to draw the ants traveling between many points, so one of the first things I wrote was code to composite multiple simulations into a single image. But then, what to draw?
My first idea was to represent some very literal graphs: starting simple, with binary trees, and then moving on to more complex visualizations. It seemed a natural fit, given that ant colony optimization is used to solve pathing problems in graphs. I also thought it would be an interesting way to visualize complexity in code: why not take a UML diagram or dependency graph, and render it with ants?
I was already familiar with Graphviz, so I decided to use that suite of tools and the DOT graphing language to lay out nodes and edges for my simulation. Graphviz has a mode that will output a DOT file annotated with pixel locations. I wrote a very ugly DOT file parser and used that, with my annotated DOT file, to simulate the locations of my ant nests and food.
My experiments with binary trees seemed promising, and had a very natural, organic quality to them.
Next, I started to build bigger graphs, using a few different codebases as input. I wrote a few simple python scripts: one that turned a git tree into a DOT file, and another that turned C import dependencies into a DOT file.
While both of these were interesting – and certainly complex – I was disappointed that neither really said anything about the overall form of the codebases they were built from. The more I experimented with code visualization, the more I realized that building an interesting graph from a codebase was really its own, bigger problem. However, I did like the complexity of the very large graphs, and came back to that later.
My next experiment was to play with simple forms. I plotted lines, circles, sine waves, and other shapes that were easy to describe with nodes and edges.
What I found most interesting were simple triangulated spaces. I generated a set of well-distributed points – either randomly, or by drawing shapes – and then used a Processing library to turn those points into a Delaunay triagulation or a Voronoi diagram. I used the resulting edges for the ant simulation, with each edge representing one ‘nest’ and one ‘food’.
This led to a nice, full space of complicated ant squiggles, which did a better job representing the complexity I was interested in.
Finally, I went on one other tangent. A friend took a look at the simulation, and asked what would happen if the ants hit a wall – could they route around simple obstacles? I already handled walls as an edge case, so I added interior walls, and then spend a lot of time trying to coax the ants to solve mazes.
I had a vision where the ants would solve a simple maze, and I would stitch them together into a larger piece of work. I spent a lot of time trying to adjust the simulation variables so that the ants could solve it, but I never was never able to get them to solve it consistently. Ultimately, it just ended up being ant-path squiggles bounded by the shape of the maze itself.
The completed art
At this point, I took a step back and looked at the output from all of the different experiments. I realized that the most interesting images had been from the large fields of semi-random points and edges. I decided to make that my final approach, and set up the simulation to draw lines between a Delaunay triangulation of random points.
The final problem was then how to turn my SVG squiggles into a finished piece. I knew from some experiments that I wanted to sort the paths – somehow – so I could emphasize the paths that had nice shapes. But the final simulation took an hour or two to run, which made tinkering with variables for each run an impractical way to experiment.
What I decided to do was write a second Processing program, which would load the simulation’s SVG output, and then apply the visual effects I wanted. Even better, I could make the post-processing script interactive, so I could experiment with different line weights, colors, and sorting thresholds.
I tried out a few separate ways of scoring which paths should be in the foreground, and which should be in the background. I calculated a few different factors: how many times each line intersected itself; how many times the line crossed over its slope line; and how likely each was to follow the slope predicted by the previous two points.
I used the post-processing script to experiment with different weights and values for these scores, until I landed on an appearance I was happy with.
I found it very helpful at this point to save one image for each variable change. As I got closer to an image I was happier with, it was much easier to compare a film strip of slight variations, than to change multiple things at once.
After a lot of tinkering and slight adjustments, I created this image from my simulation:
I zoomed in on an area I thought was particularly interesting, and cropped to create a good balance between open and filled space.
The last, and final step, is deciding how to turn this image into a physical artifact. So far I’ve printed it digitally, as a 16×20″ poster, and made a (failed) attempt at screen printing it on colored paper. The digitally printed poster looks great, but next I want to try copying the image as a part of painting. I find complex drawings sort of meditative, and I think I could do some interesting things rendering it by hand.
This project took much longer than I expected, and became more complex than I imagined. But it was a great way to experiment with all sorts of interesting computational geometry and algorithmic problems. I think there’s some irony that I wrote a few thousand lines of code for a work about complexity, but I’m happy that the work looks cool and can speak for itself.

Earlier this month Google announced that the TF Object Detection API (OD API) officially supports TensorFlow 2. This comes as the tech giant has been working on making the TF ecosystem more compatible with frequently used models and libraries.
The company has been migrating TF Object Detection API models to be TensorFlow 2 compatible since a year, which was evident in the Object Detection API GitHub repository, since the last few months.
Google announced that it would include the following:
- Eager-mode compatible binaries
- A Keras-based suite of TF2 compatible models and new architectures such as CenterNet and EfficientDet
- COCO pre-trained weights for all of the models provided as TF2 style object-based checkpoints
- Access to DistributionStrategies for distributed training
- Colab demonstrations of eager mode compatible few-shot training and inference
- Support for keypoint estimation, data augmentation support, better visualizations, COCO evaluation
The company highlighted that this move aims at exposing users to the benefits of TF2 and Keras while being able to use TF1. “We believe that there might be many teams out there grappling with similar migration projects, so we thought that a few words about our thought process and approach here might be useful even for non-object-detection TensorFlow users,” it said.
With this, there are three kinds of users in the codebase — new users, existing TF1 users who want to migrate to TF2 and existing TF1 users who do not want to migrate just yet.
Google also shared a detailed strategy about how it aims to benefit all three categories of users. It said it would refactor low-level core and meta-architecture to work in both TF1 and TF2, treat feature extractors/backbones as being specific to either TF1 or TF2, leverage community-maintained existing backbone implementations, separate front-end binaries for TF1 and TF2, and more.
The company plans to continue to migrate large-scale codebases from TF1 to TF2 over the next few months. It also plans to offer a more integrated, end-to-end experience for researchers in the TF2 ecosystem.
TF2 which was released in September 2019 has brought about many changes such as adopting Keras as the official high-level API for defining models.

Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, was the 12th pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt and the son of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye. He ruled from approximately 1353 to 1336 BCE and was one of the most controversial pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
During his reign, Amenhotep IV introduced a new religion and artistic style that would come to be famous as the Amarna Period. He abandoned traditional Egyptian polytheism and introduced monotheism, worshiping the sun disk Aten as the sole deity. This new religion had a profound impact on Egyptian society and art, as Aten became the central focus of religious and cultural life.
Amenhotep IV also commissioned several major building projects, including the construction of a new capital city called Akhetaten, located in the eastern desert. The city was designed to reflect the worship of Aten, with temples, palaces, and other buildings oriented towards the sun. He also commissioned the construction of several other important buildings and monuments throughout Egypt.
Despite his achievements, Amenhotep IV’s reign is also famous for its controversy and instability. He had several wives and children, including the famous Nefertiti, and his policies were often seen as disruptive and divisive. He also faced several challenges to his authority, including rebellions in Nubia and the Levant.
After his death, Amenhotep IV’s reign came to an end and his son, Tutankhamun, took the throne. Amenhotep IV’s legacy as a pharaoh is one of both controversy and innovation. His introduction of monotheism and new artistic style marked a significant departure from traditional Egyptian religion. And culture, and his building projects left a lasting impact on the landscape of ancient Egypt.

With the increase in demand for SEO services, SEO companies across the globe started to grow in number. You can virtually find them just about every country in the world. The question is, does your business really need the help of an SEO Company?
Search Engine Optimization is popular among various businesses. With almost a quarter of the total global sales attributed to online marketing, who would not care? Its power and role in the marketing campaign is evidently important, especially to companies that are incapable of physical expansion. Internet presents them an opportunity to expand with a minimal cost. For these reasons, SEO now holds a more significant role in boosting a company’s revenue.
SEO services are typically outsourced from developing nations like the Philippines and India. While majority of search engine optimization can be done at home by a knowledgeable webmaster, it is rare that you find freelance SEOs who work at home with reliable SEO qualifications. The need for an affordable SEO company has driven most western companies to embrace outsourcing SEO offshore.
It is true that search engine optimization need not be overly complicated like many companies make you believe but there are certain circumstances where the help of a search engine optimization company becomes indispensable. Here are some of the instances where it is advisable to seek the help of an SEO company:
Your business requires your full attention and you don’t have time to monitor your own website statistics.
Companies and businesses who don’t have qualified employees to perform the required search engine optimization. It is always preferable to hire experts over going through the learning process and do SEO yourself.
When after your efforts to optimize your website, you do not get any substantial improvements in your ranking and traffic, you need to get help from experts. An SEO firm can help introduce innovative SEO strategies that you might have not used yet. Moreover, companies that specializes on SEO have more resources to do the job.
Outsourcing SEO and choosing the right company to work with needs careful planning. You do not want to end up with companies employing all sorts of shady strategies that will harm your website. What you want and what you need is a qualified SEO company that can deliver results through professional and ethical SEO strategies. So to help you choose a good SEO provider, here are a few things to be wary about:
Companies that guarantee top rankings for your website. The truth is, no one can guarantee top placement on search engines. SEo companies employ strategies that are proven to have worked. Search engine algorithms are highly classified.
Choose SEO companies that are honest, upfront and realistic. It doesn’t mean the company is good when they charge high fee on their SEO services. There are a lot of SEO companies offshore that can deliver results for half the cost. You jus have to be patient in searching.
Choose SEO companies that offer scheduled reporting. Choose companies with complete contact information.
Your SEO company should regularly contact you and should constantly find new ways to achieve the best result for your website. They should be innovative yet ethical in their SEO practices.

Caitlin is super cute and sweet and her mom is too. I think it’s great how she can’t stop smiling even when you ask her to! She is a student at Eau Gallie HS and just got accepted to FSU so big congrats there! She wants to be a math teacher! We shot the session in downtown Melbourne. I’ve been hoping to set up a fun package for senior girls and team up with one of my favorite shops down there. If you agree then you might want to call DD and tell them! How FUN would it be to have a new outfit included in your package, borrow all the accessories we want and possibly be in some of the DD advertising? Call. Now. Request this awesomeness. But only with AGP of course. Anyone else would just be a copy cat.
We had Caitlin’s ordering session tonight so her and her parents got to view everything in her gallery up on the wall of my studio, go through and pick favorites, etc. They did a great job, what a decisive family! I had already picked MY faves, not that MY FAVES are always YOURS. But it’s okay and I’m not bitter. Not really.
Okay here is beautiful Caitlin, I am going to stop talking…
Yes this is what you call a moving train behind her. It is pretty stinking awesome if I do say so myself.
LOVE THESE AND YOU MUST LOVE THEM TOO!!! YOU BETTER OR ELSE I’M GOING TO BE SOOOO MAD! JUST KIDDING, BUT REALLY DON’T YOU LOVE THEM?
