(Friedrich Lürssen, 1875)
Lürssen designs and constructs yachts, naval ships and special vessels. Trading as Lürssen Yachts, it is one of the leading builders of custom superyachts such as Paul Allen's Octopus, David Geffen's Rising Sun, and Azzam, the second largest private yacht in the world at 180 m in length after the REV Ocean.
On June 27, 1875, the 24 year-old Friedrich Lürssen set up a boatbuilding workshop in Aumund, a suburb of Bremen, Germany. The focus of work in the first years was on work boats for fishing and ferry operations. Hull number one was a five meter long rowboat. From the 1880s Lürssen opened up the sport boat market. In 1886 the first motorboat in the world was built by Lürssen (according to his own account).The 6-meter REMS was commissioned by the inventor and engine manufacturer Gottlieb Daimler, who needed a boat to put his new engine through its paces. Friedrich Lürssen, always open to new ideas, designed and built it without delay. The Daimler engine that powered it had a cylinder capacity of 0.462 liters, weighed 60 kilograms, and had an output 1.5 hp at 700 rpm. From about 1890 motor boats were built in cooperation with the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and Lürssen quickly became the leading German motor boat yard. Orders from abroad were soon received.
When Otto Lürßen - only son of the company founder - joined the company as a partner in 1906, the focus finally increased towards building motor boats. In the years up to the First World War, Lürssen boats successfully took part in international races. In 1911 the Lürssen-Daimler speedboat with its 102 hp engine became the sensation of the racing season, reaching a speed of 27 knots, exceptional for the time. In the Mediterranean off Monaco, it won the unofficial world championship, the Championship of the Sea. The speedboat went on to win the Prix de la Cote d´Azur and the Grand Prix des Nations later in the same year.
By 1916 the company that was his life's work had grown into a leading German shipyard, when Friedrich Lürssen died at the age of 65. A year after Friedrich's death, the German navy started using remote-controlled boats to enter occupied ports or attacking heavily armoured ships. These boats were co-developed and built by Lürssen. They also built shallow minesweepers (F boats) and submarines with cannon armament and early motorized speedboats (LM boats).
A new start
After the war, the shipyard shrank from around 700 to 100 employees. In 1918 the main plant in Aumund burned down and production was completely relocated to Vegesack by 1924. 1925 was a special year for Lürssen. They launched their 10,000th vessel, a 14-metre wooden motoryacht, a sister ship of the Onkel Fidi, and in addition, the company celebrated its 50th anniversary. Two years later they set another standard. With Oheka II, equipped with three Maybach engines that propelled her to a top speed of 34 knots, Lürssen builds the world's fastest commuter yacht. This boat was sold in the USA (Oheka was the abbreviation of its owner Otto Hermann Kahn, a banker of German origin); boats were initially developed in secret for use as torpedo speedboats. In 1929 the shipyard received the first official order from the Reichsmarine for a boat designated as UZ (S) 16 for testing purposes. It had a length of 28m, a displacement of 51.6 tons. It was not until 1932 that the camouflage designation was dropped and the boat was renamed S1. In the following years, with some changes, the model became the basic pattern for German speedboats. From 1929 the production of mine sweepers was started in cooperation with Abeking & Rasmussen. Later the same year, the company also built the world's longest and heaviest motoryacht: the 36-meter AAR IV weighed 130 metric tons.
In 1932 came the sudden death of 52 year-old Otto Lürssen. His wife, Frieda Lürssen, the daughter of a captain of a large cruise ship, took over the Lürssen yard. In 1935, a production facility was built on the opposite side of the Weser in Lemwerder for the growing production of speedboats for the Navy.
Three years later, the third generation took on more and more responsibility at Lürssen: Gert Lürssen came on board - bringing along the passion of motorboats he inherited from his father. In 1939, he set a world speed record on the lower reaches of the Weser River in a Lürssen diesel-powered speedboat. It achieved a speed of 68.2 km/h. The same year torpedo boats were delivered to Bulgaria The 35-meter vessels carried forward-mounted torpedo tubes better and no longer had the tendency to dive in heavy seas, as was the case with previous models.
Up until the end of the Second World War, the building of speed boats became the core business of the Lürssen shipyard - also for export. The boats were built as wooden hulls (Doppelkraweel - mahogany - white cedar) on light metal - frames built from S-100 were armoured with a navigation station. With three Daimler-Benz MB-518 engines, speeds of over 42 knots could be achieved. Due to the favourable underwater hull shape, specially adjusted rudder (Lürssen effect) and an improved foredeck structure, the boats were very seaworthy.
Business was difficult in the wake of the war (shipbuilding was initially completely banned in Germany). Everyone had to start from scratch and the Lürssen shipyard was no exception. Household items such as wooden tubs and pots were temporarily made in the shipyard. But soon the first repair orders came in and from 1946 fishing cutters were built. After the owners returned from captivity in 1947, the company's involvement in commercial shipbuilding began. During this time of change, the brothers Gert and Fritz-Otto Lürssen agreed on the division of shares in the company, which they held from then on jointly with their mother Frieda Lürssen. In 1952 the shipyard was named "Lürssen-Werft". and in the postwar period Lürssen set a new standard for fast patrol boats. They launched the Jaguar in 1959, especially developed for the German Navy. At 42 meters, the ships were larger than those built during WWII. They served as a model for future fast patrol boat designs.
In 1962 Frieda Lürssen decides to hand over the responsibility of the firm to her sons Gert & Fritz-Otto. That same year, the 55-meter yacht Pegasus II was delivered, like her predecessor, to a London shipowner.
In 1971 the yacht Carinthia VI was designed by Jon Bannenberg - his first major yacht project. To this day, the 71-meter vessel remains contemporary in styling, and she can be seen as the precursor of today's Lürssen yachts.
In 1977 Lürssen delivered the first vessel in the series to the Turkish navy. Three other ships were built at a partner shipyard in Turkey using material packages. A total of ten 57-meter Dogan-type ships were built.
In 1981 at the age of 63 Fritz-Otto Lürssen died unexpectedly, abruptly ending the successful collaboration between the brothers Gert and Fritz-Otto Lürssen. A quote from one of the eulogies at his funeral reflects his popularity: "For us employees, he was an entrepreneur and a boss, someone you could talk to and negotiate with, a friend and advisor". A couple of years later Gert decided to withdraw from active company leadership. He handed over the management responsibilities to his son, Friedrich. In 1987 Peter Lürssen joined the company - after studying shipbuilding and industrial engineering in Germany and business administration in the United States as well as gathering considerable professional experience. In previous positions, he spent a year as a building inspector at different Japanese shipyards, and already familiarized himself with various Lürssen departments.
In 1988 Lürssen decides to add a new division. Currently the shipyards are operating at 90% capacity with navy contracts but the company decides to split the production between naval ships and luxury yachts. From now on, the company devoted half its production capacity to the building of large yachts. In 1991 the yacht Be Mine was completed, one of the first yachts to be designed and built entirely under the direction of the newly established independent Lürssen yachtbuilding division. She went on to win the prestigious International Superyacht Society Design Award as well as the Superyacht of the Year Award. At this time the corvette Victory was delivered to the Singaporean Navy as the leading ship in a class of six corvettes. Due to its stealth design, the ship is difficult for enemy vessels to detect. It is also characterized by low underwater noise emissions.
After playing a defining role in the company's progress for half a century, senior partner Gert Lürssen died on January 2 1991 at the age of 77. This comes at a time when Germany is cutting back its defence spending in response to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The new yachtbuilding division becomes more important for the company.
In 1990, the United Arab Emirates received two complex naval vessels from the Murray JIB class equipped with helicopter landing pads and with an extensive array of weapon systems and sensor technology, not usual for ships of this size.
Eight years later, the Kiliç, with a total length of 62 meters was delivered to the Turkish Navy. This corvette has modern weapons and fire control systems integrated. The seafaring qualities of the new enlarged ship have been considerably improved. Also the Indonesian customs authorities have ordered five patrol boats with a top speed of 40 knots and ten with a top speed of 50 knots.
2000: One-and-a-quarter centuries after its founding by Friedrich Lürssen, the company celebrated an important anniversary. The small boatbuilding company on the Weser River had grown into a large shipyard that builds military vessels as well as modern megayachts. Lürssen delivered the Berlin, one of the key task force vessels, to the German Navy. This highly important vessel type ensures the ability of the entire fleet to perform in action.
In 2002: thirty years after Carinthia VI set new standards, Carinthia VII, at a length overall of 97 meters, is delivered. A year later, the superyacht Pelorus, designed by Tim Heywood is delivered. With its overall length of 115 meters it is one of the world's largest private yachts.
In 2005 the 90 meter yacht ICE is delivered. It is the first yacht to be equipped with a compact Azipod drive system. This ultralow noise- and vibration propulsion system is especially effective in fulfilling the owner's demands in terms of ecological operations.
A couple of years later, the last of a total of six minehunters are handed over to the Turkish Navy in cooperation with the consortium partner Abeking & Rasmussen. From 2010 on, also Brunei started sending orders to Lürssen for patrol boats and offshore vessels.
In 2013 Lürssen delivers Azzam, once the longest yacht in the world. She not only set a record with regards to her length of 180 meters and speed of more than 30 knots but also her building time of less than three years is record-breaking. In 2016 Lürssen launched the 156 meter long yacht Dilbar. The yacht, with a width of more than 23 meters is the biggest yacht in the world in terms of gross tonnage (over 15,900 GT).
On 1 March 2018, a German consortium consisting of Thyssen Krupp and Luerssen was excluded by the German Government from the tender for the construction of the multi-purpose warship MKS 180 for the benefit of GNY (German Naval Yards), belonging to the Prinvinvest group, and the Dutch shipbuilder Damen.
On 14 September 2018, a fire broke out in the floating dock at Fähr-Lobbendorf, burning the then-under construction structure of the yacht Sassi.With around 900 emergency services deployed, it was the largest deployment of the Bremen fire brigade in the post-war period. The damage was estimated at more than 610 million euros.

Agur Dwol strolled down the red track between two white lines towards the pole vault pit.
She stopped just short of the mat, and turned around to scan the terrain. On the other end of the stretch was a box of beige sand.
This would be her airstrip. She'd have to lift off before reaching the other end, and fly.
Her lime green spikes shimmered under the burning sun while she leaned back and prepared for flight. She took one step, then two, then three. She accelerated with each stride like a plane roaring down the runway.
And when she got to the horizontal white line that stretched across the red track, she lifted off.
One step. Two. Three. Then --
Dwol soared through the air, using her arms like propellers.
Sand exploded out as she landed.
The Mullen junior quickly stood up and anxiously waited as officials measured the jump. When the word came back, a smile stretched across her face.
And Dwol's triple jump wasn't the only eye-popping performance to come out of the Liberty Bell Invitational this past weekend.
Hint: There was a state record run Friday night...
The Colorado State Championships are less than two weeks away, and it's clear that everyone is sharpening up for the Big Show.

Some architects focus on residential design, creating homes that harmonize with their surroundings and meet the unique needs of their occupants. Others specialize in commercial or industrial projects, designing office buildings, factories, and retail spaces. Landscape Top Fort Lauderdale architects, on the other hand, shape outdoor spaces, considering elements like plants, terrain, and climate.
Architects may also specialize in historic preservation, working to restore and preserve buildings of cultural significance. Urban planners, closely related to architects, focus on designing and shaping entire communities to ensure sustainable and functional living environments.
Impact on Society:
The work of architects has a profound impact on society. Beyond the physical structures they create, architects influence the way people interact with their surroundings. Thoughtfully designed spaces can enhance the quality of life, foster a sense of community, and contribute to a sustainable future.
Moreover, architects are instrumental in addressing global challenges such as climate change. Sustainable design practices, energy-efficient buildings, and environmentally conscious construction materials are increasingly becoming integral aspects of architectural projects. Architects are at the forefront of envisioning a future where the built environment coexists harmoniously with nature.
Architects are not merely designers of buildings; they are creators of experiences, shapers of communities, and guardians of the environment. Their work bridges the gap between art and science, blending aesthetic beauty with functional efficiency. As society continues to evolve, architects will play a crucial role in designing the spaces that accommodate and inspire the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us.


As can be found inside the illustration to the right, Although the body of the vehicle is at an angle for the street, the tire remains perpendicular While using the street plus the tire tread is in entire connection with the street. For the reason that tread is in entire highway Call a roll-around is much not as likely.

His reaction was he had been occupied.
The balancers simply cannot develop rubber back where it is actually absent nor will it make the further tread put on more rapidly. Just one or one other would have to arise in order to accurate extreme tire cupping. How are they put in?
My 1st question would be, what are the lights to the dash performing (the 4wd pushbuttons)? And next, what yr of car are we conversing? (I’m also assuming we’re nevertheless referring to a Chevy Blazer.)

That's Okay Anyboots. Potentially where unlawful tyres are equipped also, they won't spot the castor in incorrect situation to stop an oversize tyre from scrubbing? In spite of everything, without having suitable castor, your steering would want to pull in street imperfections = not fantastic and might be perilous. I do know it isn't Considerably you will need, but they certainly will not likely take castor clear of technical specs to assist an unlawful modification or right tyre scrubbing problems resulting from this kind of fitment.
In addition to that, it’s probable that you received a bum encoder in the elements shop, but how very likely could it be really? Consider what I have reported earlier mentioned and put up back in this article if matters however aren’t Doing the job as they must and we’ll see what else we will imagine then.
In lieu of slicing up two bicycle steering tubes to the kingpin mount which would have frame holes on a single aspect I opted to search out some tubing with the very same within diameter and make my own. Tubing may differ substantially so it usually means using a motorbike steering bearing holder right down to the shop and check out the match.
each bump the car encounters would induce the wheel to change angle Using the street as can be viewed inside the illustration to the right. This is able to induce much more tire use than the usual layout that retains the wheels parallel on the body in the course of bumps. In addition, in these conditions it might be noticed that significantly less tire tread is in connection with the street although going in excess of bumps. This is simply not typically a problem from a Handle standpoint all through clear-cut driving, but could potentially cause complications on washboard roadways or otherwise pretty uneven highway surfaces. All of this additional movement also has impact on the steering linkages that may cause a improve in the appropriate/still left angle of the wheel with Just about every bump and that is often called "bump steer".
That’s odd that the light will arrive on immediately, without flashing and without having engaging the 4WD. The strong gentle coming on at 4Hi is generally an indication that the procedure is purposeful.
Regrettably, from a handling standpoint, Ford engineers seem to have taken the get The task completed Mind-set when designing our Falcon (and early Mustang) suspension systems. Although they conduct adequately in just about every-day around city and highway driving, they go away some to be ideal on tough streets and driving problems, or when emergency maneuvering is required.

The "Shelby Mod" modifications the running geometry from the upper and lessen Regulate arms and spindle whilst simultaneously lowering the front conclude, each of which improve dealing with whilst maneuvering. Once more, having said that, this modification does provide with it some downsides. This "Shelby Mod" will probably be talked about herein. Since the subject of this Web page is restoration of a Falcon Dash V8, the front suspension talked about here is clearly from a Falcon by using a V8 engine, which differs to a point through the suspension on 6 cylinder Falcons. Even so, Though the particular elements are unique visite site in appears and energy, you will find the same elements on possibly vehicle as well as the operation is similar on both of those versions. Consequently the final rules talked about herein to the V8 suspension will likely utilize towards the suspension on 6 cylinder Falcons.

Journal of polymer science part b-polymer physics vol:32 issue:1 pages:99-109
The structural aspects of rigid suspension poly (vinyl chloride), PVC, have been investigated on the basis of two independent series of suspension PVC samples, polymerized at temperatures between 26 and 84-degrees-C. The reproducibility of the suspension polymerization process and the importance of the polymerization temperature with respect to the macro- and microstructure is demonstrated. Quantitative examination of the grain structure by small angle neutron scattering, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller absorption technique, and mercury porosimetry clarifies the gradual increase of the specific surface on lowering the polymerization temperature. A detailed WAXS study shows an increasing degree of crystallinity on lowering the polymerization temperature, which can be associated with the corresponding increase of the syndiotacticity. Furthermore, the presence of a polymerization history in the PVC powders with respect to the crystallinity is evidenced. This effect seems to be related to chain mobility restrictions during the polymerization process and is determined by the difference between the polymerization temperature and the glass-transition temperature (T(g)) of rigid PVC. This so-called T(g) effect is indicative of the fact that no appreciable swelling of PVC by its monomer occurs. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Create an imaginative backyard garden with unique decorations from BackyardGardenershop. Find statues, figurines, fountains & water gardens and more.
One of the most interesting conversations that we had recently on the #reading-room Slack channel was about what each of our reading lists were, whether they were books we’re currently reading or books we’re reading. There were many choices, from fiction to spiritual literature and non-fiction. This gave us the opportunity to discuss and share books that we are interested in or would recommend.
We’d share other articles that relate to the work we did (e.g. design, branding, marketing).
Although our day may seem hectic, it’s good that reading continues to be an integral part of the team’s daily routine.
Reading offers many benefits beyond the joy of discovery, imagination, and physical health. It also helps us do the work that we need. Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, and many others have attributed their success to their insatiable habit of reading every day.
Check out our current list to find the best books to read, whether you are looking to add a book to your library or just want to know what we like.
1. John, cofounder of TeamGantt reads most of his reading using the YouVersion app. This is a simple, ad-free Bible that allows him to take God’s word with him wherever he goes.
2. Brandon, the creative director, loves Dan Millman’sWay to Peaceful Warriors. It tells Millman’s story about learning from his unexpected mentor, “Socrates,” whom he met at an all-night gasoline station. His list also includes The Tender Barby J. R. Moehringer, andMoneyball. The Art of Winning an Injust Game by Michael Lewis.
Nathan’s current reading stack.
3. Nathan’s reading list clearly shows his desire to improve his skills as a designer and co-founder at TeamGantt. He is currently reading Work Rules!by Laszlo Boock, who is the head of People Operations at Google. This book provides an insider’s view of Google as a company and the factors that have made them one of the most desirable places to work in the globe.
4. Meredith, Director in Administration and mother to two, has some classics on her bookshelf. She is currently reading Healing the New Childhood Epidemics – Autism, ADHD, Asthma and Allergies: A Groundbreaking Program for the 4A Disorders.
5. Jason, who works at TeamGantt in design and video, loves The Martianby Andy Weir as well as C. S. Lewis’ works Mere Christianity, The Problem of Painas his favorite. His top-reads include Adolfo Kaminisky: The Forger’s Story by Sarah Kaminisky and Between Heaven and Hell: An interrogation somewhere beyond death with John F. Kennedy. Lewis, Aldous Huxley and Time Salvager, by Wesley Chu, as well as Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson.
6. Jake, one our engineers, currently has Your Baby’s First year, John Piper’s don’t waste your life, Illuminate and Three Men in a Boat (Jerome K. Jerome) on his book shelf.
7. Sunny Brown’s The Doodle Revolution is my favorite book. It provides the tools and concepts you need to express yourself, think more clearly, and communicate with others better. Elle Luna’s The Crossroads of Should and Must will give you the inspiration and down-to-earth support you need to pursue your passion and do the work that you love. Chris Guillebeau’s The $100 Startup tells stories of ordinary people using their creativity, skills and purpose to make a living doing what is most important to them.

In commemorating the World Diabetes Day on 14 November, we are compelled to have as many information and awareness about diabetes, one of the seven deadliest diseases in the world. According to The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 9.1 million Indonesians suffered from diabetes in 2013. World Health Organization has projected its danger – not only among elders, but also young adults – emerging in 2030. If the illness is left untreated, complications like blindness, kidney failure, heart disease and other serious conditions might occur in the future.
Nowadays, millions of people are following an unhealthy lifestyle that could lead to various illnesses, including diabetes. However, if you’re scrolling this page right now: CONGRATULATIONS! You receive the privilege to learn more about ways to prevent diabetes! Although there are undoubtable factors you cannot change, there are many actions you can take to reduce the risk of diabetes.
Here are 6 ways to prevent getting diabetes:
- Avoid stressful environment
Stressful conditions can bring on various illnesses to a person, including diabetes. Emotional and physiological stress cause the body to secrete stress hormones into the bloodstream. For people with diabetes, stress can cause a significant and prolonged increase in the blood sugar level. You can prevent the stressful conditions by following these few tips, such as yoga, 4-7-8 breathing technique, or simply leave the environment to do your hobby (but make sure you don’t leave your post permanently).
- Indulge in healthy diet
This includes healthy eating pattern and balanced diet. All foods consumed as part of a healthy eating pattern fit together like a puzzle to meet nutritional needs without exceeding limits. Minimize your consumption of processed foods, because they contain many chemicals you cannot spell that slowly damage the cells function in your body. You can try following a ketogenic or very-low-carb diet, as they have consistently been shown to lower blood sugar and insulin levels, increase insulin sensitivity and reduce other diabetes risk factors.
- Don’t stay up late
Bad news night-owls: Staying up late could lead you to diabetes, or worse to death. When you stay up late, your blood sugar level will increase. Finding yourselves craving for high-carbs foods at the midnight? Well, that’s your hyperglycemia telling you. Have at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
- Make exercise as a habit
A 30-minutes workout on regular basis may help prevent diabetes. Exercise increases the insulin sensitivity of your cells. So, when you exercise, less insulin is required to keep your blood sugar levels under control. Physical activity such as aerobic exercise, HIIT (high intensity interval training), and strength training have been shown to reduce insulin resistance and blood sugar in overweight, obese, and prediabetic adults.
- Try to lose weight if you’re obese
Maintain your ideal weight in order to prevent the development of Type-2 diabetes. Although not everyone who develops Type-2 diabetes is overweight or obese, the majority are. What’s more, those with prediabetes tend to carry excess weight in their midsection and around abdominal organs like the liver. This is known as visceral fat. Excess visceral fat promotes inflammation and insulin resistance, which significantly increase the risk of diabetes. This is related to healthy and balanced diet and a regular workout.
- Befriend the water (if needed, make it your soulmate!)
Simply make the water your soulmate, so when it’s not around, you’d feel incomplete. Sticking with water most of the time helps you avoid beverages that are high in sugar, preservatives, and other questionable ingredients. Sugary beverages like soda and punch have been linked to an increased risk of both Type-2 diabetes and Latent Auto-Immune Diabetes of Adults (LADA).
Diabetes can always be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle as mentioned above. Our promise to “care with a heart because your life matters” should be adapted in your everyday life. We encourage you to put yourself as the object of the promise: “I care with a heart because my life matters.”

Shocking figures have unveiled the local areas in England with the longest ambulance delays, revealing a stark ‘postcode lottery’ for response times to life-threatening calls.
Potential heart attack and stroke victims in the South West are waiting an average of fifty-eight minutes for paramedics to arrive.
The figures, uncovered by the Liberal Democrats through Freedom of Information requests, reveal how patients whose lives are in immediate danger are waiting on average for almost eleven minutes, nearly sixty per cent longer than the Government’s Category 1 target of seven minutes, and over three times as long as the Category 2 target of eighteen minutes in the South West.
The South West is a particularly badly affected area. Of all the regions in England, twenty of the worst sixty areas were in the South West for Category 1 calls and twenty-five of the worst sixty areas for Category 2 calls as well.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for an urgent five point plan to support ambulance services this winter.
Wera Hobhouse, Liberal Democrat MP for Bath, commented:
“These heart-breaking figures show that all across the South West and the country, targets are being missed and patients are being left waiting far too long for an ambulance to arrive.
“This stark postcode lottery means that if you suffer a heart attack or stroke, your chances of getting to hospital on time depend on where you happen to live. If you live in London the chances of an ambulance reaching you in time are higher than if you are from the South West. It is a scary reality and this Conservative Government is to blame.”

Over the summer I wrote a dark and bleak flash fiction called Home Time, and I am happy that it is published in the current issue of the tremendous literary publication Cabinet of Heed.
It is filed in Drawer Two, and you can read it here (scroll down until you find it!)
Very happy to have work in Story Cities: A City Guide for the Imagination, published by Arachne Press on 6th June.
A book of stories responding to, reflecting and re-imagining the fictional city, Story Cities is part of a research project from the University of Greenwich and is inspired by Italo Calvino’s classic novel Invisible Cities from 1972.
My flash, Dance Where No One Watches, is concerned with perfect moments and never to be repeated encounters in the city at night.
There will be a northern launch for the book, in Manchester. Date tbc.
One Song carries essays from writers writing about one song that is special or resonates with them.
My own essay is about Jesse by Scott Walker, from his 2006 album Drift. The song is named after Elvis Presley’s still born twin brother; in it, I talk about how the song has preserved Presley’s legacy more appropriately than those who are officially tasked to look after it.

HOW TO GET YOUR KIDS TO EAT MORE VEGGIES
Do you have a hard time getting your kids to eat veggies? We’re sharing our top 4 tips for turning your picky eater into a veggie eater.
Let’s be honest, getting your kids to “eat green” is no easy feat. They will almost always choose a bowl of candy over a bowl of broccoli. (I mean, can you blame them?)
And while it may be tempting to hit the drive-thru for a happy meal instead of saying "eat your veggies" for the hundredth time, we have some suggestions that will make mealtime a little less stressful for you, and a lot more nutritional for them.
Today we’re sharing our best tips for getting kids to eat more veggies.
4 TIPS TO WINNING THE VEGGIE BATTLE
TIP # 1 - Turn Them Into A Chef
Letting your kids help out in the kitchen may be your greatest weapon in the veggie battle.
In a study conducted by the University of Alberta, children who were involved in meal preparation chose fruit and veggies more often than their non-cooking counterparts. These children also had more confidence in their ability to choose (and eat) healthy foods both at home and in school.
Not sure where to start? Try letting your little one add smoothie ingredients to the blender, or season some veggies before roasting. By the time the meal is ready, they’ll be excited to try their creation. Finding kid-friendly tasks in the kitchen may seem difficult at first, but with a little bit of guidance, they’ll be a chef assistant in no time!
TIP # 2 - Let Them Choose
We all love options, and kids are no exception. Before making dinner, try asking your child “Carrots? Peas? Or both?” (You’ll be surprised at how often they want both!)
Research shows that giving children more veggie options makes them feel more in charge, and often leads to higher consumption. Next time you’re in the produce aisle, let them pick out a couple of veggies. Or, if you only have one veggie at home, have them choose how it’s made. “Do you want baked or steamed broccoli? Do you want broccoli dipped in white sauce or red sauce?”
There are plenty of creative ways to make your kids feel more involved in the decision-making process.
TIP # 3 - Be A Role Model
Have you ever noticed that kids are often more interested in your plate, than their own? Research shows that children are more likely to eat certain foods if they see their parents eating them.
So, how can you influence your little one to eat more veggies? By being a positive, veggie-eating role model! When they see you eating (or drinking) and enjoying all of your vegetables, it encourages them to do the same.
TIP # 4 - Make SUPER Snacks
A sneaky way to get your kids to eat healthy? Super snacks! From crackers to cinnamon popcorn – there are plenty of ways to hide superfoods in their go-to treats. Best of all? It keeps them away from sugary, store-bought stuff.
You can find kid-friendly superfoods in our Kids Bundle. We created this bundle to make it easier for parents (and grandparents!) to make sure their little ones get the essential vitamins and minerals they need.
No tears. No tantrums. Just happy, healthy, Super kids!
This bundle also includes 10+ kid-friendly recipes like Shrek Dip, Unicorn Overnight Oats, and Chocolate Cookies!
Are you ready to win the veggie battle in your house!?
THE KIDS BUNDLE
Our Kids Bundle contains everything you and your family need to make healthy eating delicious and FUN! This bundle contains three kid-friendly superfood mixes and one kids recipe e-book!

The Sebastian County Sheriff’s office has adopted a computerized record system to help citizens keep track of their belongings and make it easier to report stolen goods.
The system, LeadsOnline, provides a free public service dubbed ReportIt that makes it possible to store information about personal property on an encrypted cloud service. The user can create an account with his or her name and personal information and log each individual piece of property onto a list that can be viewed by police at the user’s request, Phillip Pevehouse of the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office said.
ReportIt does not link to any overall law enforcement system, and when a user identifies property as stolen on the site, it does not automatically search for the stolen property through the law enforcement resources, a Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office news release states.
Citizens however can notify law enforcement once the property is stolen and provide the user name and password of the ReportIt account, giving police direct information to specific details about the property.
Those specific details can range from serial, model or owner applied numbers, detailed descriptions, value amount and even a picture of the item. The user can place any personal possession he or she desires on the list.
“I think it’s a good idea,” Pevehouse said. “Our department pays to be part of the system, so it’s something they’re offering back to the citizens that should be helpful to all of us. Hopefully, it’ll put more people behind bars who take other peoples’ property.”
The system makes it possible for law enforcement to gain access to a record of personal property other than a hard copy, which could be lost or stolen along with the property itself.
“If they take your computer and they take the list you had printed out, you’re in trouble,” Pevehouse said. “Let somebody else have that information.”
The ReportIt website can be accessed at www.reportit.leadsonline.com.

Coming soon: A badass feminist coloring book
What exactly is a feminist coloring book? And why has Ijeoma Oluo, a 34-year-old black Seattleite known for her social justice writing and activist Twitter campaigns, created one?
“It started as a stress relief, drawing pictures of people I love,” says Oluo of the soon-to-be-published Badass Feminist Coloring Book. “A lot of them happened to be feminists. I was doing the drawings on the computer but they didn’t have that tactile feeling, so I started printing coloring book pages. Then I decided it would be fun to make it a group project so I asked people if they would send me pictures. Then it just took off!”
The book, which began as a small-scale project for a few dozen friends, turned almost overnight into an internationally crowd-sourced production. It took only two days on Kickstarter for the book to reach its $4,000 funding goal. In the end, more than 600 people contributed more than $21,000 to bring the project to life.
For Oluo, the thrust behind her badass coloring book—which will feature known folks like activist Bree Newsome, who took down South Carolina’s Confederate Flag, and GQ writer Lindy West, as well as lesser known folks like Leticia and Zoe Barba, sisters from California—is visibility. “It can be really frustrating if you’re a woman to try and have any visibility,” she says, “to feel people are representing you at all.”
Oluo wants to give voice to those who champion gender equality—including men (comedian Hari Kondabolu, for example, will be included). She also wants to make sure she includes feminists from all corners of the world. “I wanted to make sure it’s not specifically a Western book,” she explains. “I want it to be as diverse as possible—Jewish feminists, Latin American feminists.”
Which also means including people of all races who have all kinds of bodies. Oluo says it’s fun “to celebrate each other, to view the faces and bodies of people who aren’t usually celebrated.”
But does she worry about her portrayal of people’s bodies? Or find it odd to do so?
“No,” she says. “There is a difference between objectification and appreciation. They are people in their full selves. You look at them and you can see their personality, who they are.
“These are black lines on paper, but you can still see the history and ethnicity of the people. I like spending that much time with these people, interacting with them. I first started the project with my sister and it was so fun to stare at her face all day.”
Feminism is a loaded word in today’s culture, but for Oluo the meaning is clear: “My feminism,” she explains, “is a belief in gender equality and justice. It addresses a societal patriarchal structure that oppresses women, but also harms all people.”
Oluo has written about feminism and race at great length, critiquing movies like Disney’s revival of Cinderella as well as humanizing some of her most poisonous social media trolls; she has a penchant for calling out supremely negative voices on Twitter. But along with writing, visual art has been something she’s always found interest in. “As a writer, I suffer from anxiety. So I started drawing as a way to keep going when my brain had too much going in it.”
The coloring book will include a brief illustrated history of feminism as well as text accompanying each portrait. There will be both adult and kid versions of the book; same images but more kid-friendly quotes for the younger set.
Oluo said she plans to have the book available for sale sometime in August.

For a very long time, it was hard to find any sort of Singaporean food in the Bay Area, though one would think the multicultural cuisine would fit very well here. Imagine a Dungeness crab, hacked into pieces and tossed in a wok with aromatics and thick chile sauce; skate wings slathered with sambal, wrapped in banana leaf and barbecued over hot charcoal; and casual, Singapore-style cafes where you can get specialty coffee and thick toast topped with coconut jam.
That was all a futile dream, until now. The Bay Area has a burgeoning Singaporean food scene that has popped up during shelter in place: one where gourmands can wax poetic about their favorite versions of laksa or Hainanese chicken rice just as easily as they can name their can’t-miss dim sum or pizza joints. New businesses like Dabao and Makan Place have emerged in recent months; on top of that, established Singaporean chefs like Nora Haron and Marie Chia have been slowly cranking up the cultural influence in their own cooking, hooking their loyal followings on newer, bigger flavors.
“It’s wild that we can talk about a micro-Singaporean food movement in the Bay,” said Chia, a Singapore native and co-owner of the 7-year-old S+M Vegan pop-up in Oakland. Chia and partner Shane Stanbridge have become known for their skillful blending of their respective roots in Singaporean and Californian-Italian cuisine.
Singapore’s polyglot food culture, informed by the ebbs and flows of immigration, trade with its Southeast Asian neighbors and occupation by Japan and the British Empire, is hard to define and even more impossible to contain within one restaurant. To truly experience it, you need to try a lot of it. Its famous hawker centres are cities in themselves, where rows upon rows of vendors sell a mind-melting variety of dishes: from fish head curry to wonton noodle soup.
Though Singaporean food is one of the city-state’s international calling cards, Chia wasn’t sure it would go over well here when she and Stanbridge started in 2013, given its relative absence in the food scene. Nobody seemed to know or care about Singaporean cuisine out here, so introducing something so different when they were just starting out felt like a huge risk. Success would mean swallowing her pride and doing what everyone else was doing.
So when she and Stanbridge launched their pop-up and catering company, they stuck to making vegan po’boys, tacos and Italian food.
“It didn’t occur to me that I could cook my own food yet,” she said. “A lot of people had no idea what Singapore was, what it meant.” On top of that, their food was already on the fringes by virtue of being vegan. “It felt like, are we just pushing it too far?”
In her time working as a culinary operations manager for Blue Bottle in 2015-16, Haron, who is Indonesian and Indian and grew up in Singapore, faced a similar hesitation, though external. Asked to pair dishes to the company’s coffees, which are sourced from around the world, she was inspired to bring in culinary influences from Indonesia and Singapore but said she was told that her food was too “ethnic.”
“Whoa, that set off the TNT in me,” she said.
So after Blue Bottle, she went hard on those flavors at Drip Line, the cafe she ran in West Oakland. “It was all me!” she said. Haron sauced breakfast sandwiches with molasses-like kecap manis, served sweet potato fries with sambal mixed with aioli, and dressed farro, asparagus and golden beets with peanut sauce in her gado gado salad. “My mother would shake her head,” Haron said with a laugh. “Even if it’s modern, Cali, progressive — the flavors are still home.”
At her new gig at San Francisco’s Local Kitchen, Haron transformed the cuisine, gradually replacing the restaurant’s menu of Italian pastas and pizzas with laksa, chicken curry and tempeh dishes. Haron said, “I wanted to start really slow and build the spice level up: make it craveable and get people hooked.”
While furloughed from Local Kitchen recently, Haron spent a few weeks operating a Singaporean pop-up at Tay Ho in Oakland. Its success has only affirmed her decision to shift Local Kitchen’s menu to Singaporean fare. Now, she and her partners are looking at opening another Singaporean-inspired restaurant in Oakland.
What happened along the way is Haron’s laksa and Chia’s sambal dishes became a beacon for the Bay Area’s Singaporean community. Immigrants and their families would show up in droves, thrilled to experience a taste of home.
“We suddenly realized that there were a bunch of Singaporeans in the Bay Area!” said Chia. “They were so excited and supportive — it was amazing when I never had really known many since leaving.”
The 2010 U.S. Census recorded just over 600 individuals with Singaporean ancestry in the Bay Area, making it the highest concentration in the country. Many are in white-collar or tech jobs, craving dishes from home but with little interest in starting restaurants of their own.
“There aren’t a lot who would want to do chef-type things,” said Em, who co-founded the Dabao Singapore pop-up with pastry chef Erika. (The chefs asked that we don’t use their last names because they are concerned about the status of their immigration visas.) The two are childhood friends who both came to the Bay Area from Singapore to cook at restaurants. Unsatisfied with the available offerings and unable to go out to eat much on a cook’s wages, they spent their free time re-creating the flavors of home in their apartment kitchens, relying on sense memory alone.
“I was obsessed with making noodles every day lah,” said Em. Even now, the two women speak in a distinct Singlish dialect and tend to punctuate with that exclamation.
Both had their hours essentially eliminated during the pandemic, which inspired them to turn their hobby into a business. Angelina Teo and Shanna Vatsaloo, co-founders of Makan Place in San Francisco, went through the same thing. In another serendipitous series of twists, all of the people involved in these two new post-coronavirus operations attended the Culinary Institute of America in Singapore before coming to the Bay Area, and they all work for the same restaurant group.

“One door closes ... and a window of opportunity opens!” Em and Erika wrote in Dabao Singapore’s first Instagram post. Since March 20, they have been rolling out weekly menus, with Em taking on the savory items and Erika tackling desserts. “With shelter in place, it was an opportunity to break off from what’s safe: It was our dream to do hawker food,” said Em.
Though trained in European-style patisserie, Erika’s approach to dessert is a skillful representation of the diversity of Singapore’s cuisine, based on her grandmother’s recipes: You might see a colorful coconut milk dessert loaded with chopped fresh fruits, black eyed peas and tapioca jelly one week, then Teochew-style steamed taro with candied gingko nuts the next. A tart and sweet mango sago dessert with an elegant sprinkle of fresh pomelo pulp seems straight out of a Hong Kong dim sum restaurant. Back home, the market was saturated with this kind of food; but here, her work can stand out.
Em and Erika’s peers, Teo and Vatsaloo, had the same idea with Makan Place. Like many restaurant workers who had been furloughed or laid off during the pandemic, they spent their newfound downtime dreaming up ways to keep cooking for their community. And like many people in general, they were craving comfort food. So they started testing recipes at home and began taking orders over Instagram.
The response has been overwhelming, Teo said. After the business was featured on Eater, she now fields hundreds of requests for orders a day from an enthusiastic public.
With a concept aimed at homesick Singaporeans like themselves, Teo and Vatsaloo felt no reason to change their recipes to fit local tastes. Indeed, the first time I had it, their Katong laksa was unlike any I’d had in the States: The pure seafood aroma of the gorgeous, prawn-infused coconut gravy was like an exhalation of ocean air, and the bean sprout-size rice noodles were so much fun to eat. It was transportive. I confess that I spent the first minute or so just breathing in the scent of the bowl.
The Makan team is speaking with their lawyers in the hope of reconfiguring their immigration visas in order to make this vision a reality. Em and Erika are also working on formalizing their business, in the form of a delivery-only ghost kitchen.
“The goal of our dishes is to send that person straight home. When clients say, ‘Oh my god, this reminds me of how my mom cooks it,’ it feels good lah,” said Em.
She’s encouraged by the response she and Erika have gotten in the Bay Area and says they’ve felt what Singaporeans call kampong spirit — a strong sense of communality and mutual support.
“What I do think is cool about it is to my knowledge, it’s mostly women-led,” said Chia. “Women from Singapore who are really proud of their heritage, representing the bold, funky flavors that characterize Singaporean food.” And, she added, it’s great that these women of different ethnic backgrounds — Indonesian, Chinese, Malay — also represent the diversity of the people of Singapore.
As far as Haron is concerned, this day has been a long time coming. “There’s demand now — people know how to eat this food,” Haron said. “That’s been my mission all along, to push for awareness. Eight years later, people are eating this food.”

The cinderblock garage on the municipal parking lot is now just rubble, but the small structure with the slate roof is still standing. This parking lot is just south of the main train station.
Look at the claw on this massive machine. Other large claws and scoops were scattered around the site.
This site holds a lot of promise. Plaintalker has been watching it for a while, but work has been proceeding slowly.


The following is an excerpt from today’s Global Newsletter.
And now for something completely different… Monday good news!
There is a definite Monty Python theme to today’s summary, and it fits as the to-date response to crypto and blockchain from regulators has been absurd and laughable.
A consortium of major players, including Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, formally announced The Canton Network last week as a move to create “the industry’s first privacy-enabled interoperable blockchain network designed for institutional assets and built to responsibly unlock the potential of synchronized financial markets.”
As Decrypt pointed out in their weekend story on the launch, “the institutional adoption of Web3 tech was still robust last year despite a slump in digital asset prices.”
That optimism was evident at our event last week in New York City, as the overriding theme was full-steam-ahead for development and innovation.
The regulatory response and the eventual use cases will be the keys to whether this group can achieve its goals, but the announcement and the work collectively show that blockchain tech is not dead yet.

From zero to final design in 5 days – Design sprints at Envato
Envato are one of the most successful startups in Australia. They run a number of digital marketplace products aimed at creative individuals such as designers and developers. In fact they run one of the largest marketplaces in the world with over 9 million items for sale. ThemeForest—their most successful product selling website themes for platforms such as WordPress— is in the top 100 busiest websites in the world.
Obox—a ThemeForest Author—created a new product for WordPress called Layers. Layers made it really easy to manage and design a WordPress site through a simple, drag and drop interface. Envato wanted to help launch this new product and it’s themes—created by other ThemeForest authors. They planned significant marketing activity on ThemeForest to drive traffic to a bespoke landing page for visitors to download Layers and purchase a Layers theme.
The big challenge
The design team at Envato was challenged with designing this landing page. It had to explain what Layers was and how it worked plus promote several themes which had been created by ThemeForest authors for the launch. The campaign needed to have a big impact to attract more ThemeForest authors to create themes. So a significant amount of marketing activity was planned.
With a short amount of time to get the new landing page designed and built. Plus limited availability within the team due to product commitments. A new approach was needed.
Introducing design sprints at Envato
Typically the team at Envato would approach a project like this outside their normal product focused agile workflow. The design would be completed and signed off in advance before being allocated resources for the build. It would involve several hand-overs with a loss of ownership and often a large gap between stages. Resulting in mediocre design, and a lack of motivation in the team involved.
A new approach was needed. Could the landing page be designed in a week and then built the week after?
The answer was the first design sprint at Envato. Borrowing methodology and techniques from Design Sprints by Google Ventures and reshaping them to deliver what we needed.
A sprint team was assembled with clear diaries for the duration of the sprint:
- UX Designer
- UI Designer
- Front-end developer
- Plus myself as facilitator
We also had drop in visits throughout the sprint from the Product Manager, Marketing and the Content Growth team.
A war room was set up for the team to work closely together for the sprint and remove the risk of interruptions from business-as-usual. We had 5 days to deliver, test and validate the design with both the creators of Layers and our internal stakeholders. Plus what we came up with had to be something we could actually build and ship the following week with limited development resources.
The war room
The first day of the sprint the whole team unpacked the problem. We created Lean Personas for potential customers and a Value Proposition Canvas to understand the benefit that Layers gives those customers. We defined a scenario for when Layers would be needed, so we had a clear idea of the ‘job’ Layers would be hired to do by the potential customer. We translated this into a clear, single line proposition to focus our work for the rest of the week.
The second day we started by exploring the competitive landscape. We created a ‘Cool Wall’ with inspirational sites and products that helped generate ideas. Using a Bubble Chart we mapped the features and messages that stood out. We compared the value of these ideas for the customer against the value for the business. This gave the team a clear and shared understanding of what the most important elements where and started to shape the story we wanted to tell.
Rapid sketching results
Next we used rapid sketching to generate as many ideas as possible to translate the work so far into both a compelling story and a great design. As a group we then discussed the pros and cons of each and collaboratively selected the best ideas from all our sketches.
The following day a high level concept was created by combining all the best ideas into one. The story was then mapped by wire framing the site on a white board. Going into detail with headlines and imagery to allow us to break up the more detailed design later without losing the flow of the story.
Presenting design options
Day 4 was all about design. We got to work creating the finished design which was needed on Friday to demonstrate to our stakeholders. The work was divided amongst the team using the mix of skills we had. From designers and copywriters to people gathering imagery and assets and of course the developers ensuring it could be built and shipped in the following sprint.
On day 5 any last minute tweaks where made to the designs. Then all the designs were pulled together into one cohesive design. Finally it was stitched together into a prototype to demonstrate to our stakeholder.
Time to ship
After gaining approval for our design, we made the front-end developer and one of the designers available to build and ship the final landing page the following week.
Since the launch on ThemeForest. Layers has now been downloaded by over 200,000 users. ThemeForest authors have created 41 themes for Layers with over 3000 download. Making the authors significant income and the Layers platform a success.
But the big outcome came from what the team achieved in such a short amount of time. We’d introduced a completely new way of designing by collaborating cross-functionally. The team left their roles and job titles outside the room and focused as a team on reaching the outcome that was needed. And with the amazing culture at Envato the team members had one of the most enjoyable weeks they’ve had in their careers.
The success of the Layers sprint paved the way for many more design sprints at Envato and a willingness to experiment with the way we work.

The centre is located at Yatri Niwas in Bhagwati Nagar
A 500-bedded COVID-19 care centre with all necessary facilities has been established and handed over to the health department in Jammu, an official spokesperson said.
It will be the first administrative quarantine centre which has been upgraded to a COVID-19 care centre in order to stem the contraction of coronavirus, the official said.
The centre at Yatri Niwas in Bhagwati Nagar boasts of a mess, water coolers and televisions for suspected cases whose results are awaited.
“This centre is a step towards mitigating the load on other hospitals in the Jammu district,” the spokesperson said.
Nodal Officer of the Centre Sudhir Bali said the administration plans to develop COVID-19 care centres with 2000 beds in Jammu to lower the burden on the tertiary care hospitals.
“We need to be prepared in all respects to face any eventuality, Bali said.

To illustrate the use of the MQTT library, we have created two simple Tibbo BASIC applications called "mqtt_publisher" and "mqtt_subscriber".
In our MQTT demo, the publisher device is monitoring three buttons (Tibbits #38). This is done through the keypad (kp.) object.
The three buttons on the publisher device correspond to the red, yellow, and green LEDs (Tibbits #39) on the subscriber device.
As buttons are pushed and released, the publisher device calls mqtt_publish() with topics "LED/Red", "LED/Green", and "LED/Red". Each topic's data is either 0 for "button released" or 1 for "button pressed". The related code is in the on_kp() event handler.
The subscriber device subscribes to all three topics with a single call to mqtt_sub() and the line "LED/#". This is done once, inside callback_mqtt_connect_ok().
With every notification message received from the server, the subscriber device gets callback_mqtt_notif() invoked. The LEDs are turned on and off inside this functions's body.


Network setup is the process of making certain interaction in between computers. A network is where computer hardware elements and also computer systems are interconnected by communication channels that permit the send and also get of sources and information using a cable.
