Blog interview with Salome Tukuafu, Information Communications Management Officer at the Pacific Community (SPC)
A communications campaign led by Salome Tukuafu, during the 2nd Pacific Agribusiness Forum held on 29th August -1st September 2016 in Apia, Samoa leveraged the power of social media to capture and promote voices of farmers and other smallholders from the Agriculture sector to key audiences.
Agriculture is the highest important economic activity for the Pacific island countries – providing income, food and nutrition security to over 8 million people living in the Islands. Smallholder farmers lead production and distribution of staple crops, vegetables, fruits, flowers and nuts for the region. Because of intense market volatility, family farmers are finding hard times selling farm produce to local and international consumers. Meeting platforms in the Pacific have provided an excellent environment for knowledge sharing on marketing approaches, partnership development and opportunities for job creation and innovation but often fail to represent farmer voices or give farmers possible vehicles for information, that speaks to their own audiences at the same time.
A communications campaign led by Salome, ahead of the 2nd Pacific Agribusiness forum held on 29th August -1st September 2016 in Apia, Samoa looking to raise farmer and agricultural smallholder voices through knowledge capturing, sharing and awareness raising on using digital media to link with markets as well as media as an additional vehicle to disseminate messages, assembled social media influencers from the Pacific to capture farmer perspectives during the event and promote information to key audiences relevant to smallholders.
With support from Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) and the Pacific Agriculture Policy Project (PAPP) under SPC, several social media influencers and youth bloggers from Tonga, Fiji and Samoa (with a combined twitter following of close to 5000 followers) were selected to report at this event.
“The social media reporters and influencers reported on the media ‘talanoa’ (informal) session drawing lessons and representing local perspectives and farmers’ voices on social media. Twitter was effective in capturing knowledge centred around common hashtags with the perspectives of reporters reflecting farmer realities in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa,” said Salome.
Before the event, Salome conducted capacity building where social reporters were trained on using the storyboard technique and storytelling from the angle of knowledge management. “Social media reporters were briefed on conveying the right messages and key contacts to highlight,” She said.
During the event, new social buttons like twitter live provided significant reach and wider engagement around key audiences. Hashtags enabled tracking of conversations that highlighted farmer opinions, areas of interest from twitter audiences and also groupings of conversations via related hashtags.
Activities contributed significantly to power conversations online around smallholder thematics and increase reach around two hashtags #PacAgriBiz and #PacAgriTo with over 800,000 impressions tracked during the forum sessions. This also allowed for stakeholders from across the region, not present at the forum, to effectively search for conversations and discussions during the formal sessions using twitter.
Blog stories produced by some of the social reporters has further documented farmer and smallholder experiences. A lesson Salome learnt going through the activity is that combining social media influencers and traditional media is critical for success. Especially where traditional media is weak and underdeveloped. “It adds a different dynamic to the communications and reporting for the event,” she said.

In the eternal quest to improve upon safety, efficiency, comfort, productivity and return on investment, and to meet some legislative requirements (see Tier 4 emissions), the mobile equipment world has embraced numerous advances afforded by technology.
Throughout the construction industry, you will find components and equipment which exemplify the advances made for the greater good of equipment design and performance. OEMs, dealers, renters, operators, service technicians and owners are all able to point out the technologies which have helped them to better handle the daily challenges they face. And some of those advances have added to the controls network requirements, particularly as they relate to bandwidth and real-time determinism. While CAN networks have become increasingly common in mobile equipment over the last 10 to 15 years, there is now a growing interest in alternative control network technology which offers much better performance.

In the vice presidential debate Thursday night, Paul Ryan confirmed that he still supports Social Security privatization but demurred that the idea of giving younger Americans the option to move their Social Security benefits into private retirement accounts is not part of the Romney-Ryan platform.
The Wisconsin congressman and House Budget Committee chairman talked up the concept when asked about his and Romney’s backing of President George W. Bush’s failed Social Security privatization plan.
“For younger people,” Ryan said. “What we said then and what I’ve always agreed is, let younger Americans have a voluntary choice of making their money work faster for them within the Social Security system. That’s not what Mitt Romney’s proposing. We say no changes for anybody 55 and above.
“And then the changes we talk about for younger people like myself is don’t increase benefit for the wealthy people as fast as anybody else, slowly raise the retirement age over time,” he said. “It wouldn’t get to the age of 70 until the year 2103, according to the actuaries.”
Ryan championed plans in 2004 and 2010 that would shift Social Security funds into the private market. Participants would be permitted to invest one-third of their Social Security taxes in stocks and bonds. Although the plans contained mechanisms to protect payouts to beneficiaries against market fluctuations, nonpartisan studies found that it could destabilize the program’s solvency in the long-term. Bush tried and failed to enact a altered version of the plan at the beginning of his second term.
While Romney previously supported privatization, his official Social Security platform calls for incrementally raising the eligibility age and lowering benefits for high-income recipients. It does not mention the privatization proposal, but Ryan’s remarks are a reminder of that both members of the ticket previously embraced the idea.
Two Romney-Ryan campaign spokespersons did not respond to requests for comment as to whether Romney supports privatization.
“Medicare and Social Security are going bankrupt. These are indisputable facts,” Ryan said, talking up the need for major reforms. “And Social Security? If we don’t shore up Social Security, when we run out of the IOUs, when the program goes bankrupt, a 25 percent across-the-board benefit cut kicks in on current seniors in the middle of their retirement. We’re going to stop that from happening.”
Vice President Joe Biden insisted that President Obama wants no part of privatization.
“With regard to Social Security, we will not privatize it,” he said. “If we listened to Romney in the Bush years imagine where the seniors would be now if their money had been in the market. Their ideas are old. Their ideas are bad.”
Correction: An earlier version of this article interpreted Ryan’s comments as suggesting Romney’s support for privatization. It has been updated to clarify that the official Romney-Ryan platform does not call for privatization.


text: Three years to the day a disgruntled youth shot dead 16 people at his former high school before turning the gun on himself, the institution reopened its doors for the first time Tuesday for an emotional memorial ceremony. Church bells in the eastern German city of Erfurt rang out at exactly 10:58 am (0858 GMT), the precise time at which 19-year-old Robert Steinhäuser began a shooting rampage through the Gutenberg high school, killing 12 teachers, a secretary, two students and a police officer. Sobbing former students and teachers left roses at the school's entrance before entering the renovated scene of the bloodbath. "For many of us, it is a return that we have to work through," former principal Christiane Alt said. Germans were shocked by the incident, in which the black-clad, mask-wearing Steinhäuser, armed with a pistol and a pump-action shotgun, went on a killing spree, apparently in revenge for having been expelled. At the Erfurt cathedral, local residents left candles, personal notes and other mementos beneath photos of the victims. Many of the pupils who attended the school at the time of the assault are still undergoing psychological treatment. They will remain in the provisional premises used for the last three years until July, shortly before the summer recess, when the striking Art Nouveau school building will officially reopen.

Bali is a fantastic island that in spite of being in the searchlight of mass tourism through many decades, still is in the possession of its Hindu culture with grand ceremonies and temples. If you search properly, you can still find your own secret beach to explore! If you want to really connect with Bali and its local people, you should spend at least 2-3 weeks here.
Bali is a fantastic island that, in spite of being in the searchlight of mass tourism through many decades, still is in possession of its Hindu culture with grand ceremonies and temples. If you search properly, you can still find your own secret beach to explore! If you want to really connect with Bali and its local people, you should spend at least 2-3 weeks here. And if you're up for action - join the surf camp on Bali.
If you choose to only stay in the capital Kuta, you will probably not find much else than what a typical tourist-metropolis can offer you. The smooth beach is surrounded by cafes, bars, restaurants, shopping opportunities and plenty of invasive salespeople that are trying to push all sorts of stuff on you. But outside of this tourist magnet hides great experiences: Volcanoes, hidden beaches, fantastic Hindu temples, cozy villages and last but not least the welcoming and open inhabitants. Bali is actually the only Hindu place in Indonesia, something that culturally puts it apart from the rest of the region.
It is very easy to get transport in Bali. If you want to travel around the island you should hire a driver for the day. This costs somewhere between 30-34 € and he will drive you whereever you wish to go, tell you about the sights, wait for you if you want a rest or experience something special, and in the end, safely get you back home. You can either ask your hotel to arrange transport for you, or simply ask the local drivers personally. They are just about everywhere, so they are easy to spot.
Bali is surrounded by great beaches in all sizes;
Ubud is a cultural spot that offers a series of galleries and templedance every afternoon. Here you can also experience "the Monkey forest!, with exotic trees and plenty of monkeys!
Don’t miss out on the local dishes:
And don’t forget to enjoy the food with the local beer Bintang.
Bali has all types of accommodation, from the luxury Le Meridien to all kinds of budget hostels.
Bali is well known for its wooden sculptures, fabric, clothes and gold- and silver jewelry. Each village has its own speciality.
If you want to spend more time in Indonesia, we recommend you to visit the Lombok and Gili Islands. This is done by boat, and once you get there you are literally on your own feet. Gili Islands don`t have any cars, so you can either walk, bicycle or if you are lucky you can catch a horse carriage.
Locate the perfect hostel, the best and cheapest flight and exciting adventures here.

Decentralized finance protocol Yearn Finance was hacked earlier today, resulting in the loss of millions of dollars worth of crypto assets. According to blockchain security firms, the attacker was able to drain over $11 million worth of stablecoins from Yearn Finance. PeckShield Inc. reported that the exploit occurred on an early version of Yearn Finance called iearn. Early reports suggested that Yearn and fellow DeFi protocol Aave were impacted by the attack, but Aave later confirmed on Twitter that Aave V1 was not affected.
Blockchain security firms scrambled to find the root cause of the exploit and subsequently identified Yearn Finance’s misconfigured stablecoin yUSDT as the root vulnerability. Peckshield’s investigation revealed that the hacker exploited this vulnerability to mint a significant amount of yUSDT, 1,252,660,242,212,927.5 to be precise, using just 10,000 USDT. The newly minted yUSDT were cashed out using other dollar-pegged stablecoins.
On-chain analytics firm Lookonchain revealed that the hacker’s loot included 3.03 million DAI, 2.5 million USDC, 1.7 million BUSD, 1.5 million TUSD, and 1.1 million USDT. In a message to its Twitter community, Yearn Finance stated that the impact of the exploit was limited to iearn, an outdated contract that was deprecated in 2020. Yearn V2 Vaults are reportedly unaffected.
The exploit had a considerable impact on the tokens associated with Yearn Finance and Aave. AAVE experienced a relatively small decrease of 2.15% in its price, which was subsequently restored. Yearn Finance’s YFI token, on the other hand, tanked 4.6%, reaching as low as $8,942, before recovering to $9,175.
This latest hack highlights the vulnerabilities that exist within the DeFi space, and the need for increased security measures. It also emphasizes the importance of regularly updating and maintaining smart contracts to avoid such attacks. Yearn Finance has assured its community that it is taking steps to address the vulnerability and prevent future exploits.

Development of behaviors in preterm infants: relation to sleeping and waking.
BACKGROUND:Although nurse clinicians and researchers use infant behaviors to indicate the responses of preterm infant to stimulation, little is known about how the biological factors of development, sleeping and waking states, infant characteristics, and infant illness severity affect preterm infant behaviors. OBJECTIVE:This study examined the development of eight infant behaviors over the preterm period and determined the relation of these behaviors to sleeping and waking and to infant characteristics and illness severity. METHODS:Seventy-one preterm infants were observed once per week from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. from the time they were no longer critical until term or discharge. The occurrence of four sleep-wake states and eight behaviors were recorded every 10 seconds during the observations. RESULTS:Negative facial expressions increased over the preterm period; sighs, startle/jerks, jitters, and the likelihood of having hiccups decreased. Infant characteristics had only minor effects: boys had more negative facial expressions, and longer mechanical ventilation was associated with more sighs and jitters. All behaviors showed state-related differences in frequency. In addition, only startle/jerks and jitters showed the same developmental patterns within each state. CONCLUSIONS:Significant development of infant behaviors occurs over the preterm period but involves changes not only in the absolute percentage of each behavior but also in the percentages within each sleeping and waking state. Thus, preterm infant behaviors cannot be used clinically for assessment without consideration of the state in which they occur.

Custom Networking Cable Assembly for Secured Military SCIF Data Center
Components: OM3 and OM4 Fiber Optic Cables, Keyed and Secured LC Connectors
It’s a challenge to think of secure fiber optic networking cable applications taken more seriously than those of the US military, especially if those networking cables are processing classified information relating to national security.
When a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) for the US military was built to handle matters of national security, Cables Unlimited was called in to design and manufacture a top of the line fiber optic network cable assembly with high performance and network security as priority concerns. The custom fiber optic cable assembly included some of the highest grade materials on the market, including OM3 and OM4 40 gig fiber optic cables and keyed and secured LC connectors.
OM3 and OM4 cables are both types of graded-index multimode fiber optic cable, specified under IEEE and TIA/EIA standards. OM3 and OM4 are laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) cables, specially designed to work with the high speed networks we have today. While they have very similar constructions, OM4 is able to perform over longer distances due to its 4700 megahertz bandwidth versus the 2500 megahertz bandwidth of OM3 cabling. OM4 is one of the fastest fiber optic cables available, and is such new technology that the standard was ratified by the TIA/EIA in August 2009; the IEEE 802.3ba 40G/100G Ethernet standard covering OM3 and OM4 was ratified as recently as June 2010. Not only do they exhibit great performance, but OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber optic cables are cost-effective fiber optic cabling options as well. By using these top of the line fiber optic cables, the secured data center is not only performing to its fullest capabilities now, but should meet the military’s high performance standards for years to come.
Keyed and secured LC connectors were used to maintain security in the infrastructure of the SCIF data center. These connectors are high-density connectors which use a 125um ceramic ferrule, providing connector-adapter-connector mating with proven durability, reliability, and performance. The connectors are also color coded to facilitate network administration - if someone were to plug one of the keyed and secured LC connectors into another component incorrectly; the entire network would shut down in order to maintain the network’s security. The keyed design also supports the security of the restricted network by controlling access to the components.
Quality materials were essential to outfitting the SCIF with the custom OM3 and OM4 fiber optic cable assemblies necessary for its high performance systems. However, the success of the military project also relied heavily on Cables Unlimited’s strong product knowledge and ability to provide sound guidance in the design and manufacture of a cable assembly that would be able to meet strict performance and security requirements. Cables Unlimited worked as an integral and trusted part of the team for the project – passing security clearances and touring the facility to take measurements for the network cabling, evaluate hardware, and more, to ensure that the custom fiber optic assemblies were designed thoughtfully from top to bottom to meet the application’s particular needs.
With the very serious needs for performance and security in this government military application, it was important to ensure that all of their requirements were met using quality materials and attention to detail in every facet of the custom assemblies. However, that didn’t mean that the project was without a timeline. Cables Unlimited was able to complete the extensive project in less than 20 days – a turnaround time that is nearly unmatched in the industry.

Haze of Obedience: A Military Romance (Behind Closed Doors Book 3) by Maggie Cole
She’s Mesmerized Me For Decades From Afar…
My mission is to rescue the Zoe Diego, a famous Latina pop star who went missing fourteen months ago.
I already know about her. She’s my favorite entertainer and her voice hypnotized me since my early twenties.
I underrated her beauty from afar. Stunning doesn’t come close.
But she’s sassy. I give it back to her as good as she gives it to me. And the angst between us only creates a deeper craving to make her mine.
The Global Leaders have forced themselves upon her, stealing her choices, and making her their slave in more ways than one.
They will do anything to get her back. So I’ll risk everything I’ve worked for and my life, to navigate the jungle and save her.
“HAZE OF OBEDIENCE “ is the third jaw dropping installment in the “BEHIND CLOSED DOORS” series. Each novel is a stand-alone regarding the HEA of the couple, but the plot develops with each story. This steamy series is for mature readers only and is best if read in order. This series may contain situations that may be sensitive for some readers. Trigger Warning: This book may trigger sexual abuse survivors (no descriptive rape scenes) and those struggling with drug addiction.
Publication date 2/2/2021
Dirk is so screwed!! He’s face to face with his ultimate woman, he’s followed her music for years, and he’s acting like a total jerk! He’s suppose to be cool, calm and collected, but instead he’s made her bleed!
He’s suppose to be attending to her after rescuing her, but so far he’s insulted her and made her cry, he’s even got a slap for his troubles!
He’s here to do a job, he needs to focus on his mission an bit her butt!
Zoe ‘a life should have been a dream. Singing is what she loves. Performing was a plus, all she wanted was to prove to her family she was more than just a berry picker! And as most dreams they start out great….
Now? Now, she’d give anything to be at the start of her journey and not possibly at the end!
People who were suppose to love/protect and care for her (managers) have only seen her as an asset, to be used and thrown away at a whim.
Turned into a junkie and a prostitute to sweeten deals!
Forced night after night to perform for moneymakers, drug lords and people in power…..
Just when you thought this story could drag anymore emotions out of you, this book finds a few more…..
Addiction, prostitution and fear, my heart broke at Zoe’s ordeal, a young singer with stars in her eyes and a talent that should have been nurtured. Yes, she did overate herself in the beginning, yes she could have done things differently, but being young you think you know it all.
But to be used as a piece of meat was horrid. No wonder she never trusted Dirk, all men wanted they took, and a gentleman is just a myth!
Like the previous books we have the rescue, we have the repeat of leaving the camp and escaping Interpol to keep the women from being returned to their former lives.
We have Zoe’s beginning and that is a little hard to read.
It does feel a little like deja vu in some parts, it only really gets interesting once Hunter and Dirk split up (Hunter/Vanessa book 2 Marks of Rebellion)
Dirk is being driven crazy, Zoe blows hot and cold all the time, he thinks they are making progress, something happens and they are back to square one. Kissing her seems like a great idea, then he remembers her choice was taken away, he needs to bide his time….
Zoe has secrets in fact all the women have secrets (it’s one of the reasons they were all taken captives) she wants to tell her “country boy” she really does, but trust has gone from her life, she doesn’t know how to move forward (every time she tried she’d fail horribly) and as she gets to know Dirk, she’s afraid of the way he will look at her, and the secrets she holds could get them both killed. No, it’s better not to tell him.
When Zoe is taken from Dirk your heart leaps into your mouth, watching her being taken from him you feel his pain, but Zoe’s fear and horror at watching Dirk slump to the floor is all consuming.
Will they ever find each other again?
This book is more intense, so many things are coming together and the story is half way through.
I loved this book, and can’t wait to read book four.
Ryker and Julieta yes please.

08:00:26: There are automatic rifles and there are these. The GZNKA tank killer is surprisingly light as Mac Nielson hefts it on their shoulder. The rounds are known to puncture holes two feet wide through heavy ship armor, and are held in a backpack and fed via sling. It is this reason alone that Mac Nielson has used it, targeting Iggy Starlord's ship as it races across the horizon. However, Iggy Starlord's ship is not only retrofitted with two meter thick armor, but also an electronic shielding system. Mac Nielson's rounds do find their way through the shields, but only make it one foot into the armor. Iggy Starlord dips their ship, skirting past Mac Nielson and giving them third degree thruster burns across half of their body.
08:35:45: Sonny Bill Spider successfully spears Iggy Starlord to a wall through their chest. Iggy Starlord has time to yell, "You bastard," as Sonny Bill Spider snags the package from the ground in front of them. "Parcel transferred."
08:48:02: Iggy Starlord's ship fires two nuclear torpedos into Sonny Bill Spider's ship, instantly incinerating it. The package is snagged by a lengthy magnetic tow cable. "Parcel transferred."
08:54:35: Package delivered by Iggy Starlord for $80,000

LAKE BENTON, Minn. (FOX 9) - The Lake Benton Police Department launched a criminal investigation Friday after a resident reported their cat had been shot and injured by a hunting arrow.
According to the department, the incident occurred May 2.
In a statement, the department called it “egregious and inhumane.”
Because the criminal investigation is ongoing, the department could not provide more details into the incident.
“Lake Benton PD takes this matter very seriously and encourages anyone with any information regarding this horrible act to contact the Lake Benton PD either by telephone or through the Lincoln Co. Sheriff’s Office Facebook page,” the department said.
According to Patty Coleman, the animal's owner, the cat is named Midnight and he is up and walking with a limp. A veterinarian is tracking the cat's progress closely and is assessing the damage to the cat's leg.


Almost half (48 per cent) of UK van drivers admitted that they overloaded their vans last year, according to a survey by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
This figure is despite 89 per cent of drivers claiming to know the legal weight restriction for their light commercial vehicle (LCV).
Overloading your vehicle by as much as 30 per cent of its gross vehicle weight could lead to a fine of up to £300
Anything above 30 per cent overloaded and offenders may even be issued with a court summons and a custodial sentence in the most serious cases.
The survey found that 66 per cent of young people (aged 18-24) had driven their van overloaded in the year, followed by 63 per cent of over 65 year olds.
NEED TO KNOW: In the UK, the maximum gross vehicle weight for an LCV is 3.5 tonnes (3,500kg), rising to 4.25 tonnes (4,250kg) for an alternatively-fuelled vehicle, such as an all-electric ID. Buzz†.
A DVSA spokesperson said: “DVSA’s priority is to protect everyone from unsafe drivers and vehicles.
“It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure their vehicle is safe to drive.
“They should make sure they know the maximum permitted gross vehicle weight and limits on each axle of their vehicle.
“We take enforcement action against drivers and operators who risk people’s lives by overloading or not securely loading their vehicles.
“Our accessible online guidance provides everyone with the information they need to load their vehicle safely and avoid risking the lives of other road users.”


Apple has announced a new security feature to protect iPhone, iPad and Mac users from highly targeted spyware cyberattacks. One of the best-known spyware targeted by this tool is Pegasus, the NSO Group product that managed to infect a large number of devices belonging to activists, journalists, businessmen and politicians, including the mobile phone of the President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez .
The functionality, called “Lockdown Mode” (isolation mode), according to the Cupertino company, seeks to offer an extreme level of security for the small number of users who may be victims of targeted attacks with advanced espionage tools. Let us remember that these are usually used at the government level to spy on people of great political or social profileso most users will never be affected.
Isolation mode, an extreme security functionality
This is an “extreme” functionality because users who want to benefit from that extra security, by activating isolation mode, will have to give up some features of their device, which are mentioned below.
Messages: Most attachment types other than images will be blocked. Several features, such as link preview, will also be disabled.
apple services– Incoming invitations and service requests, including FaceTime calls, will be blocked if the user has not previously sent a request or called the initiator.
The connections cable with a computer or accessory will be locked when iPhone is locked.
Fail to install configuration profiles and the device will also not be able to access mobile device management (MDM).
The new isolation mode is not immediately available. We’ll have to wait until the fall to see its arrival in iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura, although those who use beta versions of the aforementioned operating systems will probably have the opportunity to get their hands on it in advance. Also, Apple says that it will continue to improve “Lockdown Mode” over time, so we could see an evolution of this functionality.
Additionally, those from Cupertino have announced that they will allocate 10 million euros “to support organizations that investigate, reveal and prevent highly personalized cyberattacks, including those perpetrated by private companies that develop state-backed mercenary spyware.” This movement is added to other previous ones of the company, such as the security corrections for the systems of its devices and the demand to NSO Group.

Best known recently for her role in ITV’s Emmerdale, actress Sandra Marvin is the latest addition to the cast of West End musical Waitress, taking over as waitress Becky from original cast member Marisha Wallace. Her first performance at the Adelphi Theatre diner is on 17 October 2019.
With credits already including the UK and international tour of Mamma Mia! and Australian productions of Les Misérables and The Sound of Music, Tamlyn Henderson is not short of credentials when it comes to musical theatre. On 9 September 2019 he joins the West End cast of of Sara Bareilles’ musical Waitress in the role of Earl, taking over from Peter Hannah who has his final performance on 7 September. Let’s hope he likes pie!
Joe Sugg has made his name as a YouTube star, filmmaker, author, vlogger and 2018 Strictly Come Dancing finalist, but now he will be making his stage debut in Waitress at the Adelphi Theatre from 9 September 2019, taking over the role of Ogie from Blake Harrison who leaves on 7 September.
Sara Bareilles has often spoken about the amount of music that had to be cut before the final version of Waitress made it to Broadway. Now fans of the show are going to get to hear ‘What’s Not Inside: The Lost Songs from Waitress’, a new EP featuring outtakes and demos recorded by Sara Bareilles. Below you can watch Jeremy Jordan singing the song ‘Without A Believer’ from the seven-track recording set for release on Friday 16 August.
It’s been a busy week in the diner for the West End production of Waitress with new cast members Lucie Jones, Ashley Roberts and Blake Harrison joining the cast plus the announcement that the Tony-nominated musical is now booking to 7 December 2019. Are you tempted to try out the menu one more time?
He’s best known as Neil Sutherland in the award-winning E4 show The Inbetweeners, but now Blake Harrison is swapping the small screen for the West End production of Waitress at the Adelphi Theatre in what we think is his musical theatre debut, stepping into the role of Ogie on 17 June 2019 after Jack McBrayer plays his final performance.
It’s amazing what a little baking can do: Former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts will be making her West End debut as Dawn in Waitress at London’s Adelphi Theatre for a limited summer season from 17 June 2019, and on the same date we’re pretty excited to hear that Lucie Jones will be cooking up those life-changing pies as Jenna.

One of a few big Broadway transfers to have hit the West End in recent months, WAITRESS is the irresistible musical from Sara Bareilles and the all-female creative team behind the original production. The show was a hit across the pond and judging by these reviews, it's going to be a success here too...
Our #FirstNightTakeover series continues with Perry O’Bree attending the West End opening of the delicious WAITRESS at the Adelphi Theatre. Perry was there on the Red Carpet – rubbing shoulders with Carrie Hope Fletcher and Cuba Gooding Jr – plus post-show there was a chance to chat to cast members Peter Hannah and Shaun Prendergast. And did we mention Perry squeezed in meeting awesome Waitress composer Sara Bareilles too? It’s amazing what a little baking can do.

A Test on Two Codes for Extrapolating Solar Linear Force-free Magnetic Fields
- 78 Downloads
We evaluate the performances of two newly-implemented codes for extrapolating the solar linear force-free magnetic fields, by measuring their quantified responses to the lower boundary vector field data on a finite region using analytical models. The codes are based on two boundary integral formulas with different mechanisms in utilizing the transverse boundary field: the first one only utilizes the transverse boundary field to derive the value of the force-free parameter, while the other one explicitly utilizes the whole transverse boundary field, in addition to the vertical field component. Studies on the test cases show that both of the codes could reproduce the analytical model fields with reasonable accuracy within the valid domain, provided a sufficient amount of data is available at the lower boundary. The code utilizing explicitly all three components of the boundary field shows generally better performances and requires a smaller boundary-data area in order to achieve the same degree of accuracy in the metric quantities such as the normalized vector error, vector correlation, vector angular difference, and magnetic energy; however, the accuracy in the divergence-free metric and especially the force-free metric are less ideal.

"My Fair Lady" set the template for the makeover rom-com. In the cynical and cleverly-penned tale, social powerbrokers take a woman off the streets and teach her to fit into high society.
The musical has been sparking smiles and belly laughs from audiences since Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison dazzled audiences in the 1950s. The touring production stays true to the show's roots, resisting the urge to modernize the well-honed beats and one-liners.
The dedication to tradition will likely please musical die-hards, who have likely seen the show and the film it inspired several times, and want things just they way they've always been. On the downside, the lack of evolution exposes some of the story's threadbare faults.
Rampant sexism and stereotypes inherent in the script haven't aged well, even when spun for comedic effect. Some of the particularly wince-inducing moments occur in the first act, when Henry buttonholes Eliza into a measure of indentured servitude.
The upshot is that Henry -- played with masterful precision by Laird Mackintosh -- is the buffoon who is sure he's the genius, and the unwitting butt of the social experiment he's conducting.
The show picks up steam after a bit of a stumbling, low-energy start, when the throwaway jokes fade into the background as the stakes rise and the nuances in the characters' conflicts deepen.
Fueled by a powerhouse lead performance by Shereen Ahmed, the production comes into its own in the second act as it continues to pick up momentum toward its emotionally-charged climax. She's got a powerful voice and uses it to cast an enchanting spell. Ahmed's show-stopping singing ability brings her solos to life in concert-style crescendos that echo through the audience.
Mackintosh's workmanlike showing paces the show, thanks to captivating chemistry with Kevin Pariseau as Col. Pickering. Scene-swiping Adam Grupper, swooping in as Alfred Doolittle, is always good for a smile.
The most awe-inspiring facet of the show is the production design. Thanks to clockwork-like orchestration from behind-the-scenes prop masters and smooth blocking by cast members, the set transforms massively from scene to scene, with towering backdrops and set pieces emerging and disappearing to fulfill the needs of the moment.
The makeup team, working in concert with Ahmed's acting, also deserves credit for the impressive transformation of Eliza from street urchin to society princess.
The melancholy conclusion speaks to female and low economic class empowerment, sending off the audience on a note of watershed social justice epiphany. This is a comedy with something to say, and its messages haven't faded since the 1950s. There's little doubt Julie Andrews would smile if she saw her show in this cast's able hands.
"My Fair Lady" plays at Centennial Hall through Jan. 9. Click here to buy tickets.

By Dr. Alyssa Musgrove
Neck pain is a common complaint and, when you take a moment to consider the anatomy of the body, it’s easy to understand why. The neck is comprised of a relatively small muscle group whose main purpose is to hold and support the head. Depending on a person’s frame, the head can weigh anywhere between 10 to 16 pounds — about as much as a bowling ball.
Imagine holding a bowling ball above your head all day long. It would be natural – and expected – for your muscles to get fatigued. Now imagine holding that bowling ball above the head, but slightly in front of your shoulders. If you actually tried maintaining that position (which mimics the poor posture we exhibit when the neck moves forward of the shoulders), you would quickly notice a tremendous amount of tension and stress in the neck and upper back.
Poor posture is one of the biggest causes of neck pain and tension, and it has become an epidemic in today’s society – especially with the widespread use of computers, tablets and mobile phones. When we stand or sit correctly, our ear should line up with the center of our shoulder. Any time the ear moves forward of the shoulder, such as when you look down, it strains the muscles and increases stress to the neck and spine.
Chronic poor posture can lead to problems with discs, muscles and joints in our neck, as well as cause constricted blood vessels and pressure on the nerves. Slouching also results in 30 percent less oxygen intake, leading to poor energy and fatigue.
Taking steps to improve our posture can help relieve neck and back pain, while also helping us look younger and more confident. Studies have also shown that adopting an upright posture helps improve mood and self esteem, allowing people to more effectively manage their stress.
To practice good posture, use a door or wall as a guide. Place your back against the wall with your heels and the back of your head against the wall. Your ear, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle should all be in alignment. This is the proper postural alignment to maintain once you step away from the wall. It may feel awkward at first because your muscles have become accustomed to poor posture, however, the more you practice this alignment the more natural it will become.
Here are a few more simple fixes for common posture problems that lead to neck pain.
- Sleep posture. Sleeping on your stomach is one of the worst postures for your neck and back. The best sleeping postures are on your side with both knees bent (some people like to put a pillow between their knees) or on your back with a pillow under your knees. Make sure you have a pillow that properly supports your neck while sleeping. The key is to ensure the head stays level when you are lying on your side. The spine should be in proper alignment, without the head tilting up or down. If you are on your back, your chin should be in a neutral position.
- Slouching. People often sit this way because they feel it is more comfortable. In this position your muscles do not work as hard, but your back and neck muscles, as well as your discs and nerves, are under tremendous stress. To correct this, you must adjust your posture and learn to sit up straight. Exercises to help improve this posture include core, back extension exercises and exercises that strengthen your buttocks/glutes. Planks, back extensions and bridges are all helpful.
- “Text Neck” or Hunched back. This posture results from sitting at a computer, using a tablet for long periods of time, or texting on your mobile phone. It can also develop in those who spend a lot of time reading, quilting or doing any type of work that requires looking down. This posture leads to tight chest muscles, weak upper back muscles and a forward head posture. To help correct this posture, it is important to stretch the chest and neck muscles on a daily basis. Try these exercises to strengthen the upper back and neck muscles:
- Neck range of motion exercises. Slowly turn your head from left to right, looking over each shoulder. Do this 10 times in each direction. Next, tilt your ear toward your left shoulder and then your right shoulder. Do this 10 times slowly to each side. In addition to tilting your head toward your shoulder you can then slowly rotate your chin toward your armpit to increase stretch in back of neck and then rotate chin toward ceiling to further stretch the front of the neck. Finally, jut your chin forward and then tuck your chin backward (like a turtle). Do this 10 times in each direction.
- Chest stretch. Stand in an open doorway and grasp the doorframe on each side. Lean forward while holding on to the doorframe. This will help stretch your chest muscles.
- Exercise on a rowing machine, making sure to use good form. This will help strengthen your back muscles and the rear shoulder muscles helping to reduce the hunched back posture.
So, sit up straight, stop slouching and utilize the recommended exercises. The more you practice good posture, the more it will become second nature, while helping you to finally get rid of that pain in your neck.

10 Aug Shanghai Culture
If you’re walking around Shanghai and you hear music, follow it. Yes, keep walking. You’ll come across a small crowd eventually. They’re watching transfixed as a small group of elderly ladies slow dance to a resonant lament. A female Chinese voice swoons from a large speaker mounted from a moped. A few onlookers see how fun it is. They join in. Their friends come too. Everyone’s smiling or hiding a smile.
I love finding these activities in Shanghai. I was looking for the park and came upon this outdoor dance instead. Once when I picked up my train tickets at the station, I walked around and found the outdoor karaoke scene.
In Nanjing, a friend and I were walking down the street at 2am when I realized I was hungry. A few steps later and we ran into a lady standing in the middle of the sidewalk with a tiny mobile kitchen and a kiddie table nearby. That was the best fried rice I have ever eaten.
On the train back from Beijing, I sat exhausted, ready to sleep. The girl at my side asked about the Mandarin textbook I had brought with me. We stayed up the entire overnight trip talking about language and growing up in our respective families and why education is important.
In Zhujiajiao, my friend and I walked along a footpath looking for a hotel to spend the night in before the streets darkened. I happened to glance inside a building and noticed one muscular guy working out alone in a traditional looking gym. This in the middle of a water town. Of course I walked in. My friend still has the video of the guy teaching me how to kick box.
And so on.
Shanghai is an amazing city. It is not for everyone. For the rest, you will love it.
There is much to do. The transportation system: top-notch. Food is great-whether cheap or expensive. People move with speed and purpose, at least those who are not chatting with friends, glued to their phones, or getting lost in the crowds.
The city center is a jungle of skyscrapers. A walk down a busy commercial street gets you used to the sound of horns honking, office workers conversing at outdoor cafes, and the sound of thousands of shoes wearing down the pavement.
Temples? Yeah! Up to five, I think. A lot more parks as well. The karaoke is also super fun. Nightlife is busy, crazy, and varied. Historical buildings are lined along the Bund for you to snap pictures of and earn up to 50 likes on Facebook.
Look up Shanghai on Google and you will be treated to the image of a gleaming city on a river. All the towers shine bright. Their lights reflect from the river.
On the surface, this enormous city may not seem to exude culture. Maybe not if you just stick to visiting the malls and snapping your profile pic at Shanghai Tower and going to the park to admire some scenery. Do that of course. But that’s just sticking to the surface.
You can see Shanghai in the street vendors by your work that sell those really good, really cheap dumplings. You’ll see it in families joining their kids in a game of soccer at the park while a street violinist delights tourists with a folksy tune. And you’ll see it in the thousands of moped drivers weaving through crowds on pedestrian sidewalks to make their deliveries on time.
Shanghai is everywhere and the trick to noticing is simple.
Just follow the music.

Motorists will have the option to drive through some red lights in Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday, Governor Tom Wolf signed into law as part of Act 101 a provision that allows drivers of all vehicles to proceed with caution through an intersection where a traffic signal is unresponsive.
State Representative Stephen Bloom, of Cumberland County, initially intended the new law to apply only to motorcycles when he introduced the bill. At some intersections, a detection system must be triggered to change the light.
“If the vehicle detection system fails to recognize the vehicle and the driver has come to a complete stop, the driver must then make sure it is safe to continue, and only then would they be able to lawfully proceed with caution through the intersection,” Bloom said.
The bill, which was dubbed "Ride on Red," was aimed to solve a common problem for motorcyclists while maintaining safety.
“This law does not give drivers a free pass, but ensures a safe and legal option to avoid the danger and inconvenience of being trapped in perpetuity at a locked red light,” Bloom said. “This issue is more common than many people realize, especially on rural roads or during late hours when long periods often elapse before a heavier vehicle comes along to finally trip the unresponsive light.”
The law will go into effect in 60 days.

What can I use in place of milk for cornbread?
Dairy Substitutes for Milk
- Cream or Half-and-Half. Cream is richer than milk, so to avoid heavier dough or batter use a ratio of about 60 percent cream to 40 percent water.
- Evaporated or Powdered Milk.
- Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt.
- Water (or Water and Butter)
- Nut Milk.
- Soy Milk.
- Oat Milk.
- Rice Milk.
What can I use if I don’t have milk?
Best substitutes for milk
- Yogurt: Yogurt is thicker than milk.
- Sour cream: Use the same notes as yogurt.
- Heavy cream: Cream has much more milk fat than milk.
- Half and half: Also has more fat than milk.
- Water: If the recipe calls for a small amount of milk like ¼ cup or less, water could work.
Can you make jiffy with water?
“JIFFY” mixes can also be prepared with water or plant-based milk alternatives like soy, almond or coconut milk. Pineapple or orange juice may be substituted for flavor variation in the corn and fruit muffins. Feel free to experiment with other options and let us know if you find something else that works well.
Can you add water to muffin mix instead of milk?
Q. In a muffin mix that calls for water, can I substitute milk? A. We don’t recommend using milk instead of water because the milk can make holes in the paper liners or the sides of the muffins.
Can you use mayo instead of milk?
Add it to your scrambled eggs instead of milk or water. In Alton Brown’s cookbook EveryDayCook, he suggests adding a dollop of mayonnaise to your eggs instead of milk or water to keep them moist — and if the man himself swears by it, it must be good.
Can you use water as a substitute for milk?
Water. In an absolute pinch, water can sometimes be used as a substitute in a recipe that calls for milk…but you might experience some changes in flavor and texture. Try adding a tablespoon of butter for each cup of water you use—it’ll account for some of the milkfat you’re missing out on.
What can I use in place of milk for mashed potatoes?
Replace milk with any of the following: Cooking water from the potatoes – reserve it in a heatproof container such as a glass measureing cup when you drain the potatoes. Veggie or chicken stock. Unsweetened milk alternative.
How do you make milk at home?
First, boil 3 to 4 litres milk in a double boiler and add water if needed. Simmer the milk for a few hours until the water has evaporated and the milk gets a creamy consistency. Pour the milk into a large pan.
Can you use milk instead of cream?
You can use whole milk or opt for skim milk to help slash the calories and fat content of your recipe. This substitute is especially useful in cooking, but it may alter the texture of baked goods and won’t whip as well as heavy cream. won’t whip as well as heavy cream.
Can you substitute almond milk for milk in cornbread?
Baking powder and baking soda – They make the cornbread nice and fluffy. Almond milk – For moisture. If you don’t keep almond milk on hand, feel free to substitute a different type of milk. An egg – It adds richness and helps the cornbread puff up in the oven.
How much milk do you add to Martha White Muffin Mix?
Instructions: All you need: 1/2 cup Milk 1. Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray medium muffin cups with no-stick cooking spray or line with paper baking cups.
How do you substitute sour cream for milk?
1. Sour Cream or Yogurt. Sour cream or full fat yogurt can be substituted 1:1 for whole milk. Use this substitute in baking quick breads or for adding creaminess to pan sauces.
What can you use instead of milk in muffin mix?
Heavy cream is a great substitute for milk in a baking recipe, but it does need to be diluted slightly. Because heavy cream boasts a fat content of 36% to 40%, using a half cup of heavy cream mixed with a half cup of water will be your best bet for replacing one cup of milk.
Do muffins taste better with water or milk?
You technically can, but it’s not recommended. MUFFINS AND CUPCAKES ARE NOT THE SAME! If your box mix calls for water, it’s probably because adding milk will make them TOO MOIST. Martha White Just Add Milk is one of my favorites.
Can I use water instead of milk for pancakes?
Lauren Habermehl. If you’re out of milk, or need a dairy-free option for making pancakes, you can replace the milk with an equal amount of just about any other liquid. In a pinch, water is the easiest swap, but we find pancakes made with water lack flavor and richness.

The children of First Reformed Church are singing again after a long summer break! They will convene in the Randolph Room every Sunday directly after their Sunday School Class until 12:00, to sing old and new Christian music. It is never too early to praise the Lord through singing, so every child is welcome!
Why is singing so important for children? This is a grave question that never is discussed enough, since recently music teachers in the state of New Jersey find their jobs in danger. I do not have a complete answer to this question, except a holistic point of view about the spiritual benefits of singing, especially in a group. My very wise friend, Reverend Jeffrey Eaton of Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, taught me about the importance of music for its contribution toward the enrichment of children’s lives. Music teaches all of us, he said, responsibility to others; it teaches us to be aware of each other’s deficiencies, and it makes us all more empathic since we are aware.
I argue that music is even more essential than that (of course, with reverence to the revered Reverend). Singing is a universal language. If there is one thing that has been constant in the expression of human emotion throughout history and in every culture, it is singing. Children need to sing, and the urge to do so is in their biological make-up. Furthermore, there is latent musical potential within every child. That inner voice needs to be nurtured, even in the rawest expression of cacophonous outbursts, and encouraged to come to the surface whenever possible. Gone are the days when people walk down the street singing throughout the day, but we all still carry this deep-seated urge to express that inner voice.
So our job as parents in this congregation is to provide as many opportunities for children to sing as we can. Take advantage of the church’s musical resources: bring them every week to church, so their singing can take shape in the form of worship. Together we will serve our children with an immense opportunity to sing with joy, in praising the Lord.

Paint Hit is a casual game by definition – one that can be picked up any time, played for a few minutes to hours to pass time in an enjoyable manner. This game is developed by MAG Interactive and it requires little to no brain power. But it does require a serious amount of focus, accuracy and speed. Paint Hit is a fun casual game with a large fan base. Its simple and easy play-through is the reason behind its success.
Paint Hit requires no formal sign ups or connecting with a third party account like Facebook or Google Plus. Generally games like these are simple and small with no in-depth hardcore gaming element. Perhaps that’s why casual games like Paint Hit are so beloved amongst smartphone users.
When you run the app, you’ll immediately be shot into the first level. There’s literally no tutorial or introduction given and perhaps it’s not even needed. You can get the hang of the game in the first two or three attempts so really a tutorial isn’t necessary.
All you need to do is shoot a paint ball at a rotating cylindrical tower. The objective is to shoot at the right time. Timing is the key in the game. No manual aiming is involved. The rotating cylinder will rotate randomly. It can move clockwise or anticlockwise, at low or high speeds. As a player, you need to watch out for its movement and make sure you hit at the right spot.
The unpainted part of the cylinder needs to be hit and colored with the set number of paintballs given to you. If you hit a colored spot, it’s game over and you have to start over the level completely. There are no lives – once you fail a level, you need to redo it from the beginning.
The rotating cylinder grows in height every time one circle is painted completely. In the later levels, this paint tower stacks so high that restarting the level at a high height can be infuriating.
The game has simplistic graphics. The backgrounds are subtle and the music is engaging. All of these elements complement perfectly to the feel of the game.
Paint Hit is a challenging casual game. It’s entertaining, no doubt about that. But it can rapidly grow frustrating. There’s an adrenaline rush to the game every time you shoot a paint ball correctly or barely miss a colored spot. The first level is pretty basic but players will find the game getting immediately difficult even from level 2 onwards.
Like most games, Paint Hit offers some bonus goodies to make the game easier. Interspersed in the rotating tower are gems that you can collect by shooting them with paint balls. You can also purchase these gems via the shop built inside the game. There’s also an option to unlock treasure chests after a set number of levels have been successfully cleared.
You can also view your stats in the statistics page that can be accessed through the main home page. The stats will tell you how many attempts you’ve made, how many successes you’ve had and how many times you’ve failed amongst other things. Paint Hit is a free to play game that requires no internet connection. It does offer a few in-app purchases that can be used to clear levels more easily.
Advertisements are the main problem in Paint Hit. These ads obscure the game and appear in the banners (although a banner-free version is available but you need to buy it!). Long 30-second ads also pop up after a few levels that break the tempo the game builds for you.
Paint Hit is one of the top apps in the casual app category, which belongs to MAG Interactive. It's last update was on January 9, 2018 and it has been already downloaded 5,000,000 - 10,000,000 times. On the app store it has now 36.781 reviews. After you get to Paint Hit page on the app store, click install & enjoy it.

FROM Lisette Rivas-Hermina
Child Abuse in an Elementary School Miramonte Elementary in South Los Angeles will be closed tomorrow and Wednesday, but it was open today. Teacher Mark Berndt , who's in jail awaiting arraignment on 23 charges of child abuse has already been fired. He was arrested for foundling children 10 years ago, but not charges were filed due to lack of evidence. However, pictures reportedly confiscated from his home are said to show multiple cases of child abuse. Superintendent John Deasy is expected to fire Berndt's colleague tomorrow. Martin Springer 's accused of fondling two seven-year-old girls. Deasy is meeting with parents this evening in the wake of revelations that Mark Berndt tied up second graders and fed them his sperm. Lisette Rivas-Hermina is a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice, specializing in trauma treatment for children and families (We also heard from Nancy Linares, the mother of a child who went to Miramonte and whose grandchild goes there now, and from local resident Raymond Canal.) Note: Between our mid-afternoon taping and 7pm airing, LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy announced several measures to "stabilize the learning environment and offer immediate and on-going support."

From its humble beginnings, the Palm Dog Awards has grown into a recognised and lauded fixture at the Cannes Film Festival, the world’s biggest and most prestigious film showcase.
Since 2001, the Palm Dog Awards has rapidly grown in stature,
due to the heavyweight support of a jury made up of some of the world’s leading film critics, including the chief film critic of The Times, Kate Muir, and The Daily Telegraph’s, Robbie Collin.
Year after year, coverage of the event rapidly increased and now reaches the world’s most influential online publications and news portals, such as The New York Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Daily Mail, Le Monde, The Sydney Morning Herald, The South African Times Live and Perez Hilton Blog.
The highly coveted Palm Dog Award was brandished proudly by Uggie (2011 Palm Dog winner and canine star of the film The Artist) on US and UK chat shows, including BBC Breakfast and the Ellen DeGeneres show.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN WORCESTERSHIRE
Documentary Wedding Photography
CAPTURING LOVE: ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Engagement photography sessions can be enhanced with some creative ideas like exploring a cosy café, a picnic spot or an adventurous hike to a scenic spot. You can also include props that hold sentimental value or reflect shared interests, which will add a personal touch to your shoot, too!
HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTOSHOOT IN THE UK, WITH PROPS/POSING, TOTALLY INSTAGRAM WORTHY AND ALL OTHER FAQs?
I would say that, usually, not many people have had their photographs taken in a professional context before their wedding day. And therefore, most people won’t have spent a prolonged amount of time in front of the camera. The lack of “practice” can sometimes cause couples to feel a little nervous about the “unknown”, which is totally understandable. The best way to explain an engagement shoot is as an experience for you to meet your photographer and a chance to learn how to relax in front of the camera. An engagement session with me, will ultimately give my couples the confidence to have their photos taken and will give me the chance to get to know my couples better too. Thus, will help us to build up a strong relationship, so everyone will be comfortable and relaxed together!
Before an engagement session, we will all plan ahead a little and discuss a suitable location that will elevate your images. We usually find somewhere which has meaning to my couples, somewhere they both love, or just somewhere which is a gorgeous location for photos. I am happy to work with my couples’ chosen location, and also offer some options of locations that I know could be absolutely amazing. I know many beautiful and slightly secluded/”off the beaten track”places where we won’t be interrupted by lots of other visitors walking past and having a look at what is going on – which, again, will make us all feel more relaxed.
Furthermore, I can also help with clothing options and the time of day the photoshoot takes place, both are important factors and golden hour is always lovely for that dreamy romantic light. My engagement shoots usually last approximately 1 hour and I aim to capture relaxed, fun and a few romantic shots. My aim is for you to really enjoy the experience too! I want my couples to interact together naturally, holding hands, laughing, joking, hugging and simply enjoying the time together (maybe with the odd sneaky smooch thrown in for good measure if my couples are comfy too)!
This beautiful couple, came up with the idea of pumpkin picking for their engagement photography. These two really loved the idea, as they are both so fun and creative. It worked so well having an activity to do which really helped with any potential nerves. The British weather also behaved, which was an added bonus.
I absolutely loved this engagement photo shoot, taking photos of this couple’s beautiful love story. We ended up with some amazing photos, which I sent via high resolution images digitally. Engagement photography really does celebrate the special occasion ahead of the big day/ahead of your wedding photos. Engagement shots are a great way for a lot of couples to have a lot of fun before their special day, in their favourite spots, leading to beautiful photos of their photo session that they can treasure forever.

text: While higher insurance take-up remains a challenge in the developing world, more accurate rainfall forecasts could play the same role (Rosenzweig and Udry, 2014). In practice, there are multiple sources of rainfall forecasts, with wide variation in accuracy, and it is unclear how farmers weigh in different sources to form expectations. This paper randomly assigns information about the local accuracy of alternative sources of rainfall forecasts and documents how doing so affects farmers' perceived reliability of each source, and their expectations about rainfall throughout the rainy season. We track farmers’ expectations weekly over SMS, and incentivize correct forecasts for truthful reporting. Results are forthcoming.

Standard parameters used are from the standard Racelogic CAN output from the VBOX.
Decel Test Parameters
Accel Test Parameters
When you connect MFD Touch to a VBOX data logger (CAN data source is not available with VBOX Speed Sensors) and have configured the CAN channels you want to capture, the VBOX CAN button will become visible on the Select Data Source screen.
VBOX CAN data source is available
Example of CAN channels available from an IMU04
For a CAN channel to be available for selection, it must be selected to log by the VBOX unit via the VBOX Setup software, and it must be compatible with the display element on MFD Touch.
If you configure the VBOX to log 32 or more CAN channels, you may witness some erroneous behaviour where selected CAN parameters change on the MFD Touch display.
The MFD Touch display powers via the connection to the VBOX unit. On boot up, the MFD Touch displays a splash screen. As MFD Touch boots up quicker than the VBOX, it will display 'Waiting for VBOX' with a scrolling progress bar until the VBOX is fully booted up.
MFD Touch Splash Screen
The first time the unit is booted up, it will display the screen "6 Numerical". After this, it will open the last used screen (if you have an SD card inserted).
MFD Touch comes supplied with an 8 GB SDHC card that you can use to save and load settings, save test results and update the firmware.
If you have an SD card inserted, the unit will remember the settings values after each power cycle and open the last used screen. If you do not have an SD card inserted, MFD Touch will boot using the default settings.
The supplied SD card is in a FAT32 file format, the only file format supported.
If you wish to purchase a new SD card, we recommend that any card used has a write speed of more than 7 MB/s (4 MB/s absolute minimum) and a speed class of 10 (4 absolute minimum). We recommend SD cards from quality brands, such as Transcend, SanDisk, Kingston or Lexar, to ensure the best results possible.
If an SD card is formatted in the exFAT or NTFS file formats, you will have to reformat it into a FAT32 file system before it will work with an MFD Touch unit.
SDHC cards (2 GB to 32 GB)
Supplied or purchased SDHC cards are formatted in the FAT32 file format. This format is supported by MFD Touch.
SDXC cards (64 GB and above)
Purchased SDXC cards will be formatted in exFAT or NTFS file formats; these formats are not supported by MFD Touch. Please reformat as per the instructions below.
SD Card Reformatting
- You can do FAT32 reformatting for media with sizes up to 32 GB directly in Windows by right-clicking on the media and selecting 'Format'.
- If you would like to format media with sizes above 32 GB into a FAT32 file system, this cannot be done directly within Windows as it is not the standard formatting for the file. However, there are many third-party software programs you can use to reformat media so that they work correctly with our products. We can recommend This Tool as a free option from the SD card organisation.
