Heaven and Earth is a posthumous studio album by John Martyn, completed by Gary Pollitt and Jim Tullio, released online on the 16 May 2011. During recording the album was provisionally entitled Willing To Work.
Heaven and Earth is a double album containing 2.5 hours of new music. The Earth side represents the world Kamasi sees outwardly, the world that he is a part of. The Heaven side represents the world he sees inwardly, the world that is a part of him. “The world that my mind lives in, lives in my mind.”
This release includes all five of Be Bop Deluxe's studio albums, with additional bonus tracks, plus an additional disc of previously unreleased home demos, rough studio mixes and live recordings. The recordings have all been freshly remastered and the project over-seen by Bill Nelson. All bonus tracks added to the 1990 CD releases have been remastered and added to this release too, except for the bonus live tracks on the 'Axe Victim' release. This remaster is an improvement upon the 1990 releases, and has thankfully avoided being 'brick-walled'. I would suggest this is the last word on digital 16-bit releases of these studio albums.
2011 issue 68-track 5-CD box set comprised of the best selling and critically acclaimed album releases 'Borrowed Heaven', 'Forgiven Not Forgotten', 'Home', 'In Blue' and 'Talk On Corners'; each album is housed in a mini LP-style card picture sleeve with the complete set presented in a sealed card slipcase.
Jazz singer/songwriter Michael Franks is an artist most jazz fans feel strongly about one way or another. His unique, romantic poet-cum-laid-back hipster approach to jazz signing is breezy, light, and languid. It's also uniquely his own, though deeply influenced by Brazilian jazz, bossa, and samba. Time Together, his first recording of new material in five years – and his debut for Shanachie – is unlikely to change anyone's opinion of him, but that doesn't mean this is a rote recording. Time Together is an airy, groove-ridden summer travelog that ranges from St. Tropez and New York to Paris, France, and Egypt; it journeys through the nostalgic past and finds space in the present moment, with cleverly notated, languorous, ironic observations about life. Franks split the production and arranging duties between Charles Blenzig, Gil Goldstein, Chuck Loeb, Scott Petito, and Mark Egan. The rest of the international cast on this polished 11-song set includes old friends and new faces David Spinozza, Mike Mainieri, David Mann, Eric Marienthal, Till Brönner, Alex Spiagin, Jerry Marotta, Billy Kilson, Romero Lubambo, and backing vocalist Veronica Nunn.

Despised Character and Most Overrated Character= WIN!!
Oh yeah, it's good, if you're trying to put Trent and Gwen's relationship down.
What's everyone's problem with Courtney? Yeah, she can be a bitch, but in case you haven't noticed, she's been through a lot.
Nice :) I have the same opinions as you! @DuncansMyLuv14: -_- She's been through a lot? I have many reasons to give why we don't like her but I would be going on about a character you like :|
I'm just saying, getting stabbed in the back by your boyfriend will do things to you. Duncan was a bastard to her.
how is Noah the most underrated?
it's because i think that in the 2 seasons he was he got eliminated too early and he is one of my favorite characters :P
I agree with favorite season, despised season, overrated character, Despised couple, and despised episode
The only things I disagree with are the Despised and the Underrated characters. Other than that I agree with for the most part.
@masterj87 really does everybody have to like Gwen and Trent now not everyone is going to like them also i don't remeber seeing "you HAVE to like or love Gwen and Trent" in the rule book or did i miss that good TDi meme by the way

A parasite found in cat poop may be more hazardous to human health than previously thought, according to a research review in Trends in Parasitology.
Scientists long have warned pregnant women and people with immune deficiencies to stay away from cat feces because the waste can contain Toxoplasma gondii, which in humans can inflict flu-like symptoms, blurry vision and in bad cases, brain and organ damage.
Now, researchers E. Fuller Torrey and Dr. Robert H. Yolken suggest that Toxoplasma gondii can affect memory and other mental functions in otherwise healthy humans. People with schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, rheumatoid arthritis and brain tumors are more likely to have Toxoplasma gondii antibodies than other people, their paper says.
Torrey and Yolken have not established the parasite as a cause of the disorders, but say it has caused them to rethink the hazards of cat doo.
An article about the research paper got lots of syracuse.com readers thinking about the subject. Here's a sampling of their comments:
From Holly Wood: . . . I feel all individuals should be responsible pet owners, just like all parents should take care of their children. You should have only what you can properly care for and afford. Also, I don't feel if you are a loving pet owner [that] your pet(s) should be on other people's property.
From tom52: Our yard is fenced to keep out unwanted animals such as dogs and cats owned by neighbors. Since cats can jump the fence, be forewarned that any cat found to be in the yard is fair game. Any owner that owns and cares for a cat should also have respect enough for me to not want them wandering in my yard. I believe cat owners should abide by the same rules as dog owners. Enough said!
From phrog: Always loved the fact that most cat owners create excuses for the little kitty pooping in a litter box, then scratching all around in the poopy litter, then walking over food prep surfaces. Ya think there is a reason the health department does not allow cats in restaurants?
From GrahamR3: A public health risk, yet the city will do nothing about restricting the number of cats people may own, nor will the city do anything about the problem of "free-range" cats. If a dog was caught defecating on my porch or car, or in my garden, Animal Control or the police would respond to my complaint (leash laws), but cats are allowed to do these things. Why? Why are cat owners allowed to let their animals use my garden, yard, and porch as a litter box?
Just yesterday I had to hose down and disinfect the porch and the glider because a cat sprayed them.
It is time for cat licenses, a three-cat limit and cat leash laws. What's good for the dog is good for the cat and very good for the community!
From CNYreads: Keep your cats indoors and wash your hands carefully after handling the cat box etc. This type of article is just intended to cause alarm and make people panic. Don't fear your cat or their poo! Cow poo much bigger threat to our water supply!
What do you think should be done to control risks posed by cat feces? Please leave a comment below.

Question: Why Not Make More Than One?
For every digital woodworker, sooner or later you’re going ask yourself an important question: If you’re going to the trouble of making something, why not make more than one while you’re at it? In the previous post, I gave an example of CNC part making by showing a shape being cut out of a board. It was a simple triangle, but it demonstrated two important benefits of a CNC. These tools have the ability to make accurate and difficult cuts. But, I hinted at another part making benefit: repeatability. I cut out eight of those triangles in less than 20 minutes.
A CNC’s accuracy benefits woodworkers when you need repeatability. They are excellent tools for making not just one part, but multiple, identical parts. So, instead of machining just one stool leg for example, why not make the other three legs at the same time? Or you might choose to make several stools, while you’re at it. Accurate part making on a CNC is something that can be multiplied.
There’s more than one way to make parts
Making more than one part at a time with a CNC is a big topic that I’ll cover in detail later on, but this is a good time to introduce the basic concepts and methods of making multiples. You have choices in how you approach this.
Like a lot of processes in woodworking, there’s more than one way to do this. In general, the methods are a combination of how you layout your drawings and how you set up your CNC machine. The same approaches would be valid if you were using a laser cutter.
The first method is to layout parts on a drawing of the board you’re cutting in your CAD program.
This method works just the way that it sounds. In your CAD program, lay out your parts on a drawing of the board you’re planning on cutting the parts from. Take the drawing of the individual parts and move them around and lay them out on a measured drawing of the board you’re cutting from until they fit, leaving extra room between the individual parts for the bit to travel and extra along the sides for clamping the board to the table. For example, with a 3/8” bit I leave at least a 1/2” gap between parts. Prepare the actual board as you normally would — making sure the board is perfectly flat on the bottom so that it won’t move when clamped to the table. Position the board in place and begin cutting.
The second method is to setup accurate part registration of blank stock.
If you set up the CNC, blank stock, and your cut properly, you can easily make multiple, identical parts. To do that, you need to first decide on an “origin point” that you reference to. Usually, that’s the position in your CAD drawing where the X and Y axes intersect. Then set up the same position on the CNC’s bed making that your CNC’s origin so that they match.
Next you setup stops on the table so that your blank stock is held at the same location every time. Then clamp, mill and repeat until you’re done.
Let’s take this idea even further
If you’re set up for it, you can take the idea of repeatability even farther. I regularly mill up to 8 identical furniture parts at a time on my machine. I can do this because my CNC’s table is laid out for pin-register accuracy and I make good use of a companion modular system of various clamping jigs and fixtures that I created to take advantage of it. Thus, I can have multiple, accurately placed positioning setups on my table and quickly mill several parts at the same time.
As I’ve said before, making accurate parts with a CNC is one of the best uses of the machine. And now you know that it’s not just about the accuracy of its cuts. The ability to produce multiple parts makes a CNC an even more useful tool in a woodworker’s workshop. The downside, of course, is that you’ll have fewer excuses to only make one of your latest woodworking creations.
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.

“The Bachelor” is returning to television screens across America tonight and you’d be surprised about how much Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is vehemently opposed to the show and its concept.
In a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, Abdul-Jabbar criticized the contestants on the show for acting as characters rather than their true selves. He specifically called out contestant Chad Johnson for creating himself into an obnoxious character in order to garner nationwide attention and criticized what the show stands for.
The shows’ mantra repeated by most castmembers that “everyone deserves love” ain’t necessarily so. You’re not even in the running for love unless you fit a very narrow ideal of Ken and Barbie doll physical beauty. These shows promote the scorched-earth effects of raising females to be continually judged physically above all other attributes and then measured against impossible physical standards that has marginalized a majority of girls and women — and made billions for the beauty products, clothing, and cosmetic surgery industries.
Abdul-Jabbar also addressed the lack of racial diversity on the show saying, “if you’re black on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, you’re usually kept around as a courtesy for a few weeks before being ejected.” He even questioned the very nature of falling in love on reality television.
The cruel result is people on these shows are so anxious to be in a relationship that they trick themselves into thinking they’re in love. Contestants on these relationship game shows are competing for a prize, the same as contestants on The Price Is Right. But is that prize love or a relationship? There’s a significant difference and that difference contributes to why America has high divorce (53%) and adultery (30%) rates. From observing the three most recent incarnations of this show — The Bachelor (Ben Higgins), The Bachelorette (JoJo Fletcher) and Bachelor in Paradise—it’s clear that being in a relationship is the goal.
Read the whole thing over at The Hollywood Reporter.

RIP St. Joseph’s Hospital
In 2008, an exuberant crowd gathered on every level of the multistory lobby to dedicate the new 181,000-square-foot DePaul Patient Tower addition to HealthEast St. Joseph’s Hospital in downtown St. Paul, Minn. As leader of the HOK design team for the project, I was especially moved by the number of Sisters of St. Joseph Carondelet, many elderly or infirmed, who made the special trip for the occasion.
More than $10 million was donated by the community toward the $52.4 million construction cost for the rejuvenation of St. Joseph’s Hospital, which was founded by the Carondelet order during the cholera outbreak of 1853, making it the first hospital in Minnesota and the oldest institution in St. Paul.
Fast forward 12 years to December 2020 and a somber crowd of 100 or so St. Joseph’s staff members gathered in the cold outside the darkened lobby with candles and prayers to mourn the closing of their hospital. A Facebook group documents the empty floors of 90 acuity-adaptable specialty services beds, catherization labs and operating rooms.
The news of St. Joseph’s demise hit me hard. I’ve been a healthcare architect for 38 years and have seen some of my projects renovated and re-renovated, expanded, and re-clad. But never has one of my prominent projects closed in such a short time span. The patient tower was featured on the cover and as a feature article in the March 2009 issue of Healthcare Design.
The project was presented at multiple conferences highlighting how it contributed to St. Paul’s master plan vision of urban revitalization and improvement in the overall quality of life for its community. The single-handed, acuity-adaptable, outboard-toilet patient rooms were copied by other architects for their new bed towers. Most importantly for me, our project team including the client, architects, program manager, engineers, and contractor became good friends and even had a five-year reunion.
So what went wrong?
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, St. Joseph’s became part of Fairview, another nonprofit health system, as part of a 2017 merger with HealthEast, which hastened its losses by concentrating more inpatient psychiatric services there. (For more on the story, check out this Star Tribune article.) This all did not bode well for St. Joseph’s, which saw its once ambitious cardiology and neurology programs moved to suburban hospitals.
The organization, now called M Health Fairview, has a new stated goal to turn St. Joseph’s into a health and wellness center, concentrating on outpatient mental health once the COVID-19 crisis is over. How they will accomplish this adaptive reuse, I do not know.
This change from a once-vibrant acute care hospital to a mothballed, empty building raises many questions in my mind. Was the initial strategic plan flawed? As the architecture firm on the project, we created a very customized solution to a unique program and challenging site, assuming it would be the frontispiece to a phased redevelopment plan. That plan was well considered by the health system but never moved forward. These were heady pre-Great Recession times when even the stair rails could be custom patterned, and our design reflected the history of St. Paul as we assumed this building would be a landmark hospital for years to come. No what ifs.
This industry now knows that rapid change is not just a possibility but inevitable in healthcare and the structures that house it. Changes in market conditions, technology, clinical practice, operations, and even unexpected pandemics will affect how projects will be utilized in the future. As healthcare designers, we need not only address the current program but also the adaptability or flexibility of our buildings for the unforeseeable.
Rest in peace, St. Joseph’s Hospital. I hope whatever you become in the future serves to improve the health of the community in ways we cannot begin to contemplate.

Does UV resin cure instantly?
UV cure resin is related to the normal epoxy resin, but it differs significantly in its processing: UV resin is already mixed ready for use and can be processed immediately. UV resin can be cured within minutes with a UV lamp. Only thin layers can be applied or poured.
Does UV light Help resin cure?
Short answer: UV light won’t affect the cure of non-UV resin. Strong UV may even discolor or degrade some types of non-UV resin. UV-curing resin works on a different mechanism. A one-part resin is stable until UV of a particular wavelength breaks down a component in the resin and causes it to cure.
How long does UV 3d resin take to cure?
Generally, the process takes anywhere from a minute to five minutes in a UV curing chamber. Additionally, see through resins will take less since light has an easier time passing through them.
How strong does UV light cure resin?
The resin itself cures to be completely transparent with a glass-like finish. The UV cure resin time is approximately 5 minutes under a 9 W or 36 W UV lamp. Alternatively, you can place the resin in strong, direct sunlight for about one hour. Very good transparency and excellent hard glassy finish after curing.
How do you tell if UV resin is cured?
To test if the layer is cured, you can check the condition of the surface with a toothpick in between. Repeat the steps to pour in resin and dry until you have filled your silicone mold. As the resin is completely cured under the light source, the casting can be removed from the mold immediately afterwards.
Can I cure 2 part resin with UV light?
You can start to work with poured 2-part resin components after about 24 hours, but you should allow 3 days to allow it to really cure. For UV resin, it takes about 15-20 minutes to cure each layer under a UV lamp, and a few hours to cure in direct sunlight. Cured resin can be sanded, filed, and drilled.
Why is UV resin tacky after curing?
Tackiness or stickiness may be noticed on the surface of some ultraviolet (UV) light-curable adhesives and coatings. This phenomenon, known as oxygen inhibition, is the result of atmospheric oxygen inhibiting the cure on the surface layer of the polymerizing material.
Why is my UV resin still tacky after curing?
Why is my UV resin still sticky after curing?
Like most UV resins it’ll be tacky after only curing for a few minutes. That’s normal since UV resins harden fast but take some time to fully cure. It’s because it’s overheating while curing. Doing it in thin layers or curing it slowly (weak light) will greatly reduce this problem.
How do you know if UV resin is cured?
How long does it take for UV resin to cure?
How Long Does It Take For UV Resin to Cure? Curing with UV light energy is a high-speed process and takes fewer than 10 minutes, in most of the cases and applications. The duration of the process depends on two things mainly: the composition of the resin and the intensity of the light lamp being used.
How to choose the best UV lamp for curing resin?
The most basic benefit of using a UV light lamp for curing polymer resin is that it is tremendously quick. You can leave your resin-coated products out in the sun to cure or dry but it will take a large amount of time and exposing the resin outdoors can increase the chances of dust, flies or other airborne micro-objects getting accumulated on it.
How long does it take art clay’s UV cure to cure?
Art Clay’s UV Cure Resin is a transparent resin gel which hardens when exposed to Ultraviolet rays. No mixing is required (except for the addition of UV Resin colorants) and it cures in as little as 1 minute
How long should resin 3D prints be cured?
Here are guidelines as to how long you should leave your resin 3D print to cure inside a high-powered resin curing station: 1 Under a minute: Miniature-sized resin models 2 2 to 5 minutes: Average sized resin models More

King High Line
2014 - Present
The King High Line is a bold city-building initiative that will link Toronto’s West Queen West and Liberty Village neighbourhoods through a network of bridges and paths over the Georgetown rail corridor. Conceived and initiated by developers First Capital Realty and Urbancorp, the project will combine public and private space to establish connectivity and park space along the rail corridor precisely where the residential and commercial activity is densest.
Far more than just a convenient connection, the King High Line will create a unique urban experience with beautiful open spaces and a variety of activities for the public to enjoy year around.
The King High Line design has three seamless components:
- a fully accessible bridge spanning the Georgetown rail corridor;
- an elevated multi-use path running along the south side of the rail corridor; and
- a new linear park and multi-use path spanning King Street West along the existing rail viaduct east of Atlantic Avenue.
Together, these pieces will form a new type of urban experience in Toronto. On the King High Line people of all abilities will enjoy an unprecedented elevated landscape with clear views of the city, new places to gather and relax, and a safe and exciting route to move between neighbourhoods. The King High Line will be an iconic connection that promotes health, supports businesses on both sides of the tracks, and reclaims railway space for community use.
Urban Strategies is leading the planning and conceptual design processes for the project and undertaking the community and stakeholder engagement for the King High Line, in collaboration with an expert team of consultants: Kasian Architect, TACT Architecture Inc., Scott Torrance Landscape Architects, Cam McKinnon Public Affairs, Scott Parry, Enterprise Canada, and Bay Area Economics.

Come and see it for the first time. It's amazing to me.
Small long vacation and good friends come here to play, the air here is very good, there are many people to play. There are men and women, old and young, and some small couples. These days, the temperature is relatively hot, but sweating is still very good. They have a good time these days. Next time, they will come here to play with their good friends. Generally speaking, this trip is worth visiting.
It's really good here. Next time you come here, it's so comfortable.
It's worth visiting the art paradise. You can see many paintings by small famous painters, which are highly edified.
It's OK. I suggest we go and have a look. It's really good.
The gallery is very good. The environment is superb.
Beauty cultivation, spiritual rest, spiritual feast
Very concise decoration, generous, fashionable
The interior exhibition of the gallery is characteristic, artistic, interesting and cost-effective.
Every week there will be an art exhibition with a theme, and the decoration of the gallery is also very impressive.

Ian Cameron has compiled this video with tips on how to help them avoid digital eyestrain, with his very able assistants. The advice applies to adults too, so hopefully helpful for the whole family.
Some of these suggestions may also help your child avoid developing myopia (short-sightedness) in the longer term.

That first time someone you have never met is prepared to actually pay good money to read your work is like reaching the dizzy heights of Everest.

Writers are an insecure breed
As I was reading Margaret James’ article about courage in April’s ‘Writing Magazine’ this morning, I had to stop and highlight the phrase, “As a standard-issue insecure, and borderline paranoid, author, I’ve always felt writing fiction and putting it out there was akin to taking your clothes off in public.”

To prevent this, it is essential to know when to charge your car battery using a charger.
One of the main reasons you may need to use a car battery charger is when the battery has been sitting unused for a long time. When a battery is left unused for an extended period, its charge depletes, making it difficult to start the car. In such situations, using a charger can help replenish the battery’s charge and get your car up and running.
Another situation that may require you to use a charger is when the battery is unable to hold its charge, even after driving the car. If you have been driving your car regularly and still find that the battery struggles to hold charge, it may be time to charge it using a charger. This can help extend the battery’s life and prevent any electrical issues in your car.
Overall, knowing when to charge your car battery with a charger can save you from unexpected car trouble and prevent you from having to replace the battery entirely. Regular maintenance of the battery and proper usage of the charger can help keep your vehicle in top condition and save you money on repairs in the long run.
When to Charge a Car Battery with a Charger
Signs that Your Car Battery Needs Charging
If you have been experiencing issues while starting your car or notice that your headlights are dimmer than usual, it could be a sign that your car battery needs to be charged. Other symptoms that could point to a low battery charge include a weak air conditioner and power windows rolling up more slowly than usual.
If you are unsure whether your car battery needs charging, you can test its voltage with a voltmeter. A fully charged battery should read around 12.6 volts, while a reading of 11.8 volts or less indicates that the battery needs recharging.
Charging the Car Battery with a Charger
If you have determined that your car battery needs charging, it’s time to connect it to a charger. The first step is to remove the battery from the car. Make sure the charger is set to the correct voltage and amperage before connecting the cables to the battery. Always connect the positive cable to the positive battery post and the negative cable to the negative post.
Once the charger is connected, let it run until the battery is fully charged. Depending on the charger, this could take anywhere from a few hours to overnight. It’s important to monitor the charger during this time to ensure that the battery doesn’t overcharge, which can cause damage. Once the battery is fully charged, remove the charger cables and reinstall the battery in the car.
Regularly charging your car battery can prevent issues and prolong its lifespan. If you notice signs of a weak battery, such as difficulty starting your car or dimming headlights, it’s important to act quickly and charge the battery before it dies completely. With the right tools and precautions, charging your car battery with a charger is a simple and effective process.
Signs of a Low Battery
Difficulty Starting the Car
One of the most common signs of a low battery is difficulty starting the car. If your car cranks slowly or doesn’t start at all, it could be a sign that the battery is low.
If your car’s lights are noticeably dimmer than usual, it’s a sign that the battery is losing power. This is especially true if the lights dim when you turn on the car or when you use other electrical features.
Low battery voltage can cause issues with other electrical components in your car. You may experience problems with power windows, locks, and other features. Additionally, your car’s radio or other audio systems may not work properly.
Check Battery Light
Many modern cars have a check battery light on the dashboard. If this light comes on, it’s a sign that the battery is low or that there may be other issues with the electrical system.
Smell of Sulfur
If you smell a rotten egg or sulfur-like smell near your battery, it could be a sign of a low battery. This smell is caused by the battery releasing gas as it discharges, and it’s a clear indication that the battery needs to be charged or replaced.
When to Charge Your Car Battery
Regular Maintenance Charging
It’s important to regularly check the condition of your car battery and perform maintenance charging as needed. This is especially true if you typically drive short distances or don’t use your car on a daily basis. A good rule of thumb is to check the battery once a month, and if it’s below 12.4 volts, give it a maintenance charge.
After Long Periods of Inactivity
If your car has been sitting unused for an extended period of time, it’s a good idea to charge the battery before attempting to start it. This is especially important if the battery is more than a year old, as prolonged periods of inactivity can cause the battery to lose its charge and ultimately fail. A fully charged battery will be better equipped to start your car and prolong its overall lifespan.
When You Notice Signs of a Weak Battery
If you’re experiencing dimming headlights, slow engine cranking, or the battery warning light coming on, these are all signs that your battery may be weak and in need of charging. While a jump-start may be enough to get you going in the short-term, it’s important to have the battery checked and charged as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the battery or your car’s electrical system.
Before and After Extreme Temperatures
Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can negatively impact your car battery’s performance. If you know that you’ll be driving in extreme temperatures, it’s a good idea to have your battery charged and in good working order before you go. Additionally, after prolonged exposure to these conditions, it may be necessary to give your battery a charge to ensure it maintains its optimal performance.
By regularly checking the condition of your car battery and charging it as needed, you can help ensure that it performs at its best and prolong its overall lifespan. If you’re unsure whether your battery needs charging, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and have it checked by a professional.
Preventing Battery Drain
Turn Off Electrical Accessories
When your car is not running, it’s important to turn off all electrical accessories to prevent battery drain. Examples of accessories that can drain the battery include lights, radios, and interior fans. If you plan on sitting in your car with the engine off for an extended period of time, it’s a good idea to turn off all electrical accessories to preserve your battery life.
Avoid Short Trips
Short trips can be detrimental to your car’s battery life. This is because your car’s battery does not have enough time to fully recharge during these short trips. To prevent battery drain, try to avoid short trips whenever possible. Instead, consider taking fewer, longer trips to help your battery recharge.
Keep the Battery Clean
Keeping your car’s battery clean can help prevent battery drain. Dirt and debris can create a layer of insulation that prevents the battery from charging. To keep your battery clean, use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the battery. Additionally, make sure that the terminals are free of corrosion or buildup that can prevent the battery from charging.
Consider Investing in a Battery Maintainer
If you don’t plan on using your car for an extended period of time, consider investing in a battery maintainer. A battery maintainer can be connected to your car’s battery to keep it charged while the car is not in use. This can help prevent battery drain and ensure that the battery is ready to go when you need it.
How do I know if my car battery needs charging?
You can check the voltage of your car battery with a multimeter. If it reads less than 12.4 volts, then your battery might need charging.
Can I charge my car battery while the engine is running?
It is not recommended to charge your car battery while the engine is running. This is because the alternator is already charging the battery and connecting another charger can cause overcharging and damage the battery.
How often should I charge my car battery?
It is recommended to charge your car battery once every three months if it is not being used regularly.
Can I charge my car battery with a household charger?
No, it is not safe to charge your car battery with a household charger. Car batteries require a specific voltage and amperage that household chargers cannot provide, which can damage the battery.
What type of charger should I use to charge my car battery?
You should use a smart charger or a trickle charger to charge your car battery. These chargers are designed to provide the correct voltage and amperage for car batteries and will not overcharge the battery.
How long does it take to charge a car battery with a charger?
The time it takes to charge a car battery with a charger depends on the type of charger and the capacity of the battery. Generally, it takes between 4-12 hours to charge a car battery fully.
What should I do if my car battery is completely dead?

The Special Appeal Chamber (KPA) has dismissed its member, judge Luan Daci, following his sentencing by an appeals court over falsification of documents.
The Special Court of Appeal against Organized Crime and Corruption sentenced Daci to 6 months in prison, converted into a one-year probation, for falsifying documents in order to become part of the country’s highest vetting institution. The judge has appealed the ruling to the High Court and the case is still pending.
On Thursday, Daci said he will appeal his dismissal to the European Court of Human Rights.
Prosecutors launched an investigation into Luan Daci following a report by former prosecutor Besnik Cani whom the KPA had dismissed. More reports against Daci were also filed by former prosecutors Antoneta Sevdari and Elsion Sadiku, and former judge Ervin Metalla, but the KPA dismissed all.
The special prosecution SPAK found that Daci had concealed his dismissal in 1997 from the High Justice Council, lying that he had resigned instead. Daci had made this claim during his interview with an ad hoc parliamentary committee to become a KPA member.
This amounts to a criminal offense under the justice reform laws, and Daci was sentenced.

Automating (legacy) business processes using cutting edge technologies - part 4 (EASI/Apache Camel)
After giving an introduction, sketching the overall architecture of our automation efforts and introducing Camunda 8 to you, today we want to shed some light on the Apache Camel centric EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) middleware solution we built.
How did we get here?
Our journey towards Apache Camel started when we had to connect another CRM system for order processing to a monolithic webshop system (Magento Commerce). Earlier connected CRM systems were integrated with synchronous API calls and/or file transfers and always lacked stability, especially in terms of handling retries, network outages etc. ending up in a lot of manual data fixing of failed transfers.
Our decision was to create a microservice which is mainly based on Apache Camel and AWS SQS for message queueing. This microservice acted as middleware between the Magento monolith and the CRM system that was responsible for mainly 2 things:
Transformation of data into the CRM system's expected data format
It turned out that this combination was a perfect match for our requirements: While Apache Camel provided a proper domain-specific language to specify data integration and transformation tasks, SQS from AWS gave us a highly available “storage” for the data involved.
While this only met a relatively narrow requirement at this stage, a pattern became quite obvious: When two or even more systems act together, they shouldn’t technically depend on the presence or proper operation of the related systems.
After that first microservice had proven that the concept was working for our needs, this finally led to the decision to create a formalised way of creating, running, monitoring and maintaining such integration needs on some sort of own-created platform.
While one might say: “Hey, you are re-inventing the wheel!” as there are some well-established software products on the market, our decision was based on these criteria:
Costs - We evaluated several commercial products which would serve our needs but always ended up with relatively high licensing costs compared to the scope we had at this time. Additionally, we already had some Apache Camel experience in our team which helped us to get started quickly.
Flexibility - Most commercial products offer some sort of GUI for their integrations, mainly with the citizen developer in mind. We found lots of cases where more flexibility is needed to meet the requirements. GUIs are just not flexible enough in complex scenarios and classic programming skills and best practices, like unit and integration tests for example, are essential for the robustness of the whole service.
One reliable camel (beginning of 2017)
Let’s step back to the initial microservice that picked up orders from the webshop and transformed the order data into a CRM system-defined format.
The first shot of the microservice was a straightforward Spring Boot application as suggested by Apache Camel’s best practises. The compiled service ran in a very minimalistic system environment based on a centos VM with a Java runtime environment. Still, the service was designed with horizontal scaling in mind and implemented stateless and asynchronous patterns through the use of the AWS SQS (“The state is in the queues”). To scale out you just had to manually start multiple instances of the service on the VM. Not too fancy but it served our needs.
We need more Camels (mid of 2017)
Pretty soon after we started developing on our microservice for more than one project the need to have more than one such a service evolved. From a technical point of view, we were still connecting our customer-facing web systems to the CRM using our (now not so much) microservice. As the CRM has a plethora of functional features, it immediately felt wrong to build another monolith in front of it. The design guideline we went for (most of the time) was to have our microservice communicating with a system in the systems “dialect” (e.g. SAP and the JCO) while our microservices would communicate async via SQS messages in a normalized format.
When we started to split our codebase into multiple services we also developed a “walking skeleton” that helps us to spawn new services easily and reduce ramp-up costs. It also helped us to document the general architecture of our stack, so new colleagues joining our team to support our mission have a good entry point into our universe that over time grew to consist of ~30 microservices implementing ~200 integrations between systems (e.g. SAP, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Microsoft 365 Services via Graph API (Sharepoint, Outlook, Excel, PowerPlatform), Kafka, IoT Devices, ServiceNow, FileMaker, Jamf, PimCore, SCCM, SFTP, Magento, E-Commerce fulfiller). Using this pattern minimises the need for boilerplate code and keeps things like AWS SDK client initialisation, log and environment configuration etc. done in a unified way, while still keeping things flexible for special needs. We used Spring Boot’s auto-configuration feature to achieve this.
Production use of the initial microservice showed that the observability just by looking into logfiles was OK for the start but far from perfect. Moreover, we needed some visual kpi dashboards to make our clients happy.
To overcome this shortcoming we decided to generate metrics by instrumenting our code with Micrometer to get a more detailed view on what the service was doing at what frequencies. Those metrics also serve as indicators for alerting.
Furthermore we added Hawtio to the mix. Hawtio is a web-based management console that comes with a plugin for Apache Camel routes - you just might think of it as a web frontend to Apache Camel. Among others, it provides functionality to start, stop or debug routes in production which helps a lot when unexpected things happen.
Some time later we introduced Camunda 8 to improve observability as well. But more on that later and in the last blog post of this series.
How to get data from outside our cosmos into our routes?
When dealing with data integration demands there is always a central question in place: how do we get the data or at least a pointer on the data to us, so we can start the processing. As we already had a bunch of camel routes that relied on AWS SQS Queues and had a fair amount of experience with the configuration of them (e.g. how much complexity regarding retries, timeouts, back-off, dlq, … they could take away from us) and knew how relatively inexpensive they were, in the beginning of 2018 we started looking on ways to enable our producers to produce the data into them.
1st approach: AWS SDK + IAM Credentials + Cross Account Policies
The first approach we did was with a team close to us. Like us, they also had a black belt in AWS so we decided to give it a shot and use the AWS native toolset to enable their apps to write into the queues in our account. In theory, it’s all just a bit of configuration and we are good to go. This would be great, as we would be as effective as possible while being able to focus on building more integrations. Technically it worked, but the hurdle even we all faced using the verbose IAM engine made us look for an alternative.
2nd approach: REST API + OAuth Client Credentials Flow
As we initially planned to scale our EAI solution as a lean enterprise into the whole organisation and had the enterprise architecture board on our side, we had to look for an alternative that every developer team in the company could understand, regardless of the tech stack or hyper-scaler they were using. We decided to go for HTTP REST in combination with the OAuth client credentials flow for server communication and Swagger UI as living documentation. AWS offers a way to set this up, using serverless services, thus minimising the run costs. Using ApiGateway, Cognito, SQS, S3 and AWS Lambda enabled our team to set up new APIs for other teams which they could push data to in a matter of hours.
Since we launched the first APIs in 2018 in the meantime we have around 15 other teams using these APIs, sending us millions of data entries / batches per year. It works as a central entity to connect the systems in our organisation and is highly flexible. In the past years we have implemented these use cases with stacks like this:
OAuth authenticated delivery of event notifications to SQS queues
OAuth authenticated delivery of event-driven state transfer for single entities and batches into SQS queues and/or S3 to handle “large payloads” (> 256KB)
OAuth authenticated HTTPS Gateway in front of Camunda 8’s grpc API
OAuth authenticated access to S3 Objects
Azure Entra ID (former AAD) authenticated proxy in front of landing pages being served by power automate
Calculating costs in a lambda for the employee in-house parking, storing state in DynamoDB
Let’s scale things (mid of 2019)
For about two years we had mainly built integrations for one domain of our company (e-commerce) and were at capacity with our workload. It was clear that projects would finish and mainly go into a maintenance mode. As our initial vision was to diversify, we started spreading the word and prepared to scale things. We had to move to other infrastructure for networking/security reasons anyways, so we took the chance to make the transition to a Kubernetes (k8s) environment. It was the logical next step on our DevOps journey to minimise the dependencies on other teams. With this transition, our team improved all of the following:
horizontal scalability of our services, we use Keda for metric based-scaling
stability was improved, k8s comes with the paradigm of readiness and health checks that perfectly matches SpringBoot’s extensible actuator feature
It is really easy to spawn new microservices, just fork a git repo with a walking skeleton including the CI (since we moved to GitLab CI) and start building things
We got a nice UI for our Kubernetes clusters: Rancher
What we cannot do (yet):
DNS stuff for ingress deployments
Scaling is great, but where is the catch?
While scaling is a good idea in terms of performance it unfortunately introduces new challenges. We particularly had to deal with the situation where certain tasks should be started exactly once on a cron schedule. Thanks to Camel we wrote our own scheduler service, that started such tasks by sending trigger messages to scheduler queues and relying on the SQS nature that only one service instance can consume the trigger message from the scheduler queue.
Over time we concluded that total statelessness isn’t achievable. We needed a shared data storage for a variety of data like semaphores, serials, avoidance of redundant API calls and others. We opted for Redis as a simple key-value store here and AWS services DynamoDB and S3 for serverless data storage.
Apache Camel and Camunda 8 (beginning of 2020)
As mentioned before and in the other posts of this series we use Apache Camel and the Camunda 8 workflow engine together. In this post, we won’t focus on the why but take a quick look at the how.
Camunda 8 offers a grpc interface to interact with its workflow engine. Camel also comes with a grpc component. This looked promising to us in the beginning. Unluckily the component’s interpretation of how grpc should be used is completely different from Camunda’s implementation of the API, rendering the combination useless out of the box. Luckily both tools offer multiple ways to use them so we came up with creating a custom camel component that in turn uses the Zeebe java client. For now this component is not public, but we hope to open-source it later on. Using this component we can now use Camunda’s Zeebe API the camel style. So a route might look like this:
from("zeebe-job://create_customer_in_crm") //process variables come alongside workflow metadata
With introducing the workflow engine we had to rethink some things. Beforehand most of the time we used AWS SQS to keep our state. To leverage Camunda’s potential, a lot of state could and should be kept in the engine from our experience.
If you're curious about what we currently use to run this microservice fleet, here is an unordered (and probably incomplete) list of things that we use to stay on top of things:
AWS: SQS, S3, ElastiCache, Lambda, ACM, CloudWatch, DynamoDB, Cognito, CloudFormation, WAF, Route53
And a list of tools we used on the way to where we are now:
Redis (on site)
Being able to build such a complex framework while making our customers happy with new features is not a one-man show. We are a team of dedicated developers and architects. Props go out to the people who helped to coin the current state (alphabetical order):
In the fifth and final part of this blog series about our automation efforts, we will give a bit of insight into how we use Power Automate.

As of Tuesday, 257 previously quarantined employees have returned to duty, including 47 who had tested positive for the virus. Eight Sheriff’s Office employees are currently hospitalized because of the virus.
The Sheriff’s Office is working with Harris County Public Health to identify co-workers, inmates, and members of the public who may have had close contact with the diagnosed employees so they can take necessary precautions, including quarantine and testing for those with symptoms.
A recent expansion of testing -- which now includes inmates who do not have symptoms of COVID-19, but are believed to have been exposed to the virus – has helped medical staff identify 308 infected inmates. About 30% of inmates who have tested positive so far do not have any symptoms. Fifty-seven inmates who previously tested positive for coronavirus have recovered. One inmate is in the hospital.

Bar Kohl, 54 George IV Bridge
Bar Kohl is a fantastic cocktail bar that doesn’t break the bank. Cocktails start at just £4, so a round won’t cost an arm and a leg. The low price definitely does not mean low quality – drinks are always delicious and well presented. The staff at Bar Kohl are very friendly and always happy to recommend a cocktail if you can’t decide! My favourite is the “Old Skool”, a sour lemon and cola concoction served in a cute miniature tankard. Flavoured vodkas are their speciality – look out for all the different bottles behind the bar!
Bar Kohl has a really relaxed atmosphere and quirky decor, with exposed brickwork walls and comic strips pasted to the ceiling. They also serve great food (the Acapulco Burger is amazing!) so it’s the perfect place for a bite to eat in the evening as well as being a great cocktail bar at night.

Inspired by Conklin’s original models and the rich heritage of the brand, the All American balances classic and contemporary to create timeless designs. Crafted from handmade European high-grade resin, developed to bring comfort and durability, with a carefully tapered cap and barrel.
The tapered cap tops feature “rocker style” clips, and barrels are engraved with the Conklin trademark and All American logo. This collection is suited to individuals looking for a well-sized pen with a unique design that still rings true to original Conklin designs.
The fountain pen uses international cartridges or a converter (supplied)
I know that the only way to decide whether you really like a pen or not is to hold it, which is kindof difficult to do over the internet, so I have a solution. Buy it. If you don't like it, ship it back (your cost and everything must be returned in like new condition), and I will give you a full refund. I don't think that you can get fairer than that.

The freedom of the open sea. The wind at your back. Pirates and treasure just over the horizon.
These are but a few of the impressions lingering in my mind lately. After completing another round of drafts on my pirate novel Caesar’s Revenge, I’ve submitted it to a professional editor who is currently working on my manuscript. Her edits, in combination with the great feedback I’ve received from critique partners so far, has kept me both busy and inspired.
So what big projects are you working on this holiday season? What editorial process helps you along once you’ve completed your first few drafts? Interested in reading an excerpt of my current obsession/passion?

The editor of Hotel and Restaurant has resigned after bosses discovered he was launching a rival publication, Foodservice Forum .
Matthew Moggridge quit Quantum Business Media late last month as the first edition of Foodservice Forum hit the presses.
Moggridge said launched the title independently after becoming unhappy with the way Hotel and Restaurant was being run.
He said: “I said ‘why don’t we cross-sell Foodservice Forum with Hotel and Restaurant ‘, but I was told there would be a conflict of interest. They wanted me to scrap the project, which would have put me in a difficult position.”
Moggridge said his parting with Quantum had been “totally amicable”.
Quantum CEO Neil Thackray said: “Matt’s launch of his own magazine was incompatible with his position as editor of Hotel and Restaurant magazine. We now plan to recruit a new editor who will devote 100 per cent of their effort and talents to the future growth and development of the magazine.”
Foodservice Forum is a 68-page free quarterly, sent out to targeted senior level readers in the food service industry. It has a print run of 3,000.
Hotel & Restaurant has a controlled monthly circulation of more than 17,000.

Data is invaluable in the digital age, and if you have online presence, particularly if you run a website, then you are automatically part of the data game. With the new EU rules on data protection set to come into force in less than a year from now, how will WordPress – everyone’s favorite platform – be affected?
The GDPR Will Affect WordPress, too
Chances are that if you are running your own website dedicated to design and your craft, you are most likely using WordPress: with almost 16 million active websites using WordPress and over 76 million WP blogs out there, it remains the most popular Content Management System – representing 50% to 60% of the entire CMS market – and powers 28% of the whole internet. Not bad, huh? Now imagine all the personal data that flows through these WP sites daily. If the picture is overwhelming, try to consider how a major change in data protection rules, like the upcoming advent of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation might influence the landscape.
Replacing the previous 1995 regime, the brand new GDPR provides a single, comprehensive set of rules that foster the protection the personal data of all EU residents and visitors – meaning that it extends to any company, whether based within EU/EEA borders or abroad, that collects, stores and processes personal data of individuals within the EU in the context of monitoring them or providing goods and services, even if it does so for free.
That includes WP for sure. The GDPR is currently set to go into effect on May 25, 2018 and non-compliance can incur fines up to more than $23,000,000 or 4% of an organization’s total global profits. As the deadline looms in, companies rush to prepare for the new, more rigid rules – and WordPress is no exception.
Do WordPress Security Features Comply with the GDPR?
The WP platform stores and analyzes vast amounts of personal data daily, like personal data of the site’s owner as well as its visitors’ credentials and emails, if programmed to do so, in order to make sure that its sites run smoothly and that updates are implemented across billions of blogs.
Users have proposed, for instance, telemetry in order to ensure compliance with data privacy concerns like those mirrored in the GDPR. This would support the gathering of anonymized data and promote security. WordPress has long struggled with security vulnerabilities: According to the BBC, in February 2017 more than 1.5 million websites running on WP were affected by a hacker attack. As an infographic on WPTemplate reveals, most of WP sites are compromised due to vulnerabilities in their hosting providers, which makes up for 41% of affected sites. A further 29% are attacked through insecure themes and 22% get hacked through plugins as points of entry for cybercriminals.
Security issues on WordPress are often fixed through adding plugins – individual software elements that you can add on your site, that are dedicated to promoting security in various ways – but you must be cautious and only add plugins from trusted sources. Perhaps tellingly, some plugins have begun to be added under a “GDPR” tag specifically dedicated to the new EU Regulation. Besides taking simple security steps like a strong password and limited access permits on your site, plugins can prove your most valuable ally in the fight against cybercrime.
Plugins such as Login Security Solution or Login LockDown limit a user’s individual login attempts to a humanly possible number, thus thwarting automated attacks, while others like Duo Two-Factor Authentication and OpenID implement a two-step authentication process that increases security. Even in the case of these plugins, though, it’s important to check the trustworthiness of their source and their code.
All in all, as many other companies out there, WordPress has yet to announce a detailed compliance plan to tackle GDPR requirements. But things are moving towards the right direction, and the signs – and the plugins – are there, for anyone willing to pay attention.


A fleece blanket is environmentally friendly and is blended with polyester. The polyester used for this blend is made from PET "polyethylene terephthalate". PET is a resin that is recycled from soda bottles and used to make synthetic fibers. The fleece blanket is very soft and will keep you warm. Fleece also works just like wool when it comes to wicking away moisture from your body.
While a high thread count may matter in the softness of a snuggle blanket, it is not really the key aspect you would be looking for in a quality blanket. It is true, though, that soft blanket do have high thread count. But what really matters is that the sheets are made out of superior materials. Cotton, wool, and other fabric are being rolled into yearn before they are created into blankets. Basically, quality yarn is what you should look for to make sure that the blanket is supple.
Finally the electric blanket is great for those very cold months. You can adjust the temperature to any level of warmth that you need. The new electric blankets are very light in weight and have conductive tape for a more even heat instead of wires. The larger electric blankets have duel controls for either side to provide comfort for two people. They are washable, but you must follow the washing instructions very carefully. Among the variety of personalized presents that are becoming more famous on the gifting world, personalized baby items comprise a huge share. There are lots of baby presents that can be customized. This makes the present more priceless than your money`s worth.

Noh Drama and the samurai perspective
a novel by Charles Wehrenberg (with illustrations 496 pages $15 )
SEAMI -- NINE STAGES OF THE NOH
The Noh master Seami (1363-1443) codified the aesthetics of Noh drama as the pursuit of learning to be an actor.* The cultured samurai of 16th century Japan found Seami's system useful for personal reflection as well. Seami charaterized three stages of learning how to realize oneself. One does not, however, start at the bottom, rather one begins in the MIDDLE [studying what is known], proceeding HIGHER [to become a professional], then [working on-stage before the public] to master the LOWER stages most related to life itself. Employing the language below, one might say Finding the Way of ways is the beginning; achieving the flower of the miraculous is the emblem of the master; while communicating with the art of strength and delicacy is the ultimate goal.
So it would have been for Tosa Jinan, a young man from 16th century Japan, sent to find his way in a foreign world.
- THE HIGHER THREE STAGES
- 1. The flower of the miraculous
At midnight in Silla [Korea] the Sun is bright.
- 2. The flower of supreme profundity
Snow covers the thousand mountains--why does one lonely peak remain unwhitened?
- 3. The flower of stillness
Snow piled in a silver bowl.
- THE MIDDLE THREE STAGES
- 1. The flower of truth
The Sun sinks in the bright mist, the myriad mountains are crimson.
- 2. The art of versatility and exactness
To tell everything--of the nature of the clouds on the mountains, of the moonlight on the sea.
- 3. The art of untutored beauty
The Way of ways is not the usual way.
- THE LOWER THREE STAGES
- 1. The art of strength and delicacy
The metal hammer flashes as it moves, the glint of the precious sword is cold.
- 2. The art of strength and crudity
Three days after its birth the tiger is disposed to devour an ox.
- 3. The art of crudity and inexactness
The squirrel's five talents.

John Wayne Cleaver has a secret, kind of like Dexter: he’s a sociopath with twisted, obsessive thoughts about how he can kill people. He’s studied serial killers for most of his life and he’s only sixteen. He even has dreams of performing an autopsy on the girl he likes. He’s also the town hero. He recently saved his neighbor’s life and stopped a serial killer from terrorizing Clayton County. Everyone knows what a brave boy he is. Only he knows the true story about the serial killer he stopped, who wasn’t human.
John feels like he may just be getting a handle on things, with his specific rules that keep his obsessions and urges in check. He ignores one of his rules to ask out the girl of his dreams and she says yes. Everything is going just great until they find the body in the water. Then more are found and it looks like there might be another serial killer on the loose. John’s mind starts working and calculating as he tries to work out how there could be another killer, and if it’s like the last one. Meeting with the FBI agent in charge of the case, he goes over his experiences with the previous serial killer and then tries to help out with the new bodies. But something’s not quite right about this guy from the FBI.
Wells continues with his interesting and unusual character, creating a new mystery to keep the reader hooked, and then taking the story to whole new levels with an unexpected twist. Mr. Monster is a good strong sequel to I am Not a Serial Killer, leaving fans wanting more from John Wayne Cleaver.
