Hi everyone! Welcome to another week of inspiration with our newest stamp releases! Today we're sharing projects created with the Spiral Flowers stamp set:
These flowers are reminiscient of the old Spirographs... remember those? We still have one and it's so much fun to come up with different pictures.
These stamps are so versatile. There's different styles and sizes, so they can be layered together to form a complete garden if you wish! The petals are open too, which makes them perfect for colouring in with Marvy's or Copics! Or even stamping onto patterned paper like Sarah has done here:
Doesn't that look fantastic!! Here's some details from Sarah:
I stamped the spirals onto 2 different kinds of patterned paper and cut them out. I inked around the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink, built the flowers, them added a brad to the centre of each.
I stamped the "thank you" stamp at the top of the background, and I used part of the string from that stamp to create the flower stems.
I used part of one of the spiral flower stamps to create leaves at the bottom of one of the flower stems.
Godelieve has also had some fun with this stamp set...
Stamping the flowers onto vellum and embossing in white. So beautiful! Here's a tag using the same technique:
I've created a simple card using the same flower but stamping onto different coloured cardstock:
Just cut out the flowers, attach to the card and add some gems to the centre! String Sentiments stamps were used for the greeting :)
Here's another card, but this time using larger flowers and Simply Circles for the centre of the flower:
So many uses for the Spiral Flowers! They'd look fabulous on scrapbook pages too. Or stamped and framed, or on canvases, or in a faux flower bouquet or flower pot... endless ideas!! Hope you likes these cards for today!Spiral Flowers stamp set ideas!

On January 22, 2016, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to respond to outbreaks of Zika occurring in the Americas and increased reports of birth defects and Guillain-Barré syndrome in places affected by Zika. In the 2016 U.S. political cycle, adversaries from opposite ends of the spectrum – Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders – are to varying degrees, both embracing the ‘mandate’ for healthcare insurance enrollment. The analysis and close observation I have created by means of the above chapters lead to the conclusion that, the worldwide techniques will make the efforts to overcome the impacts of the crisis a lengthy term accomplishment for the whole Africa. According to the international labour organisation (ILO) unemployment prices in Africa could raise to 8.five%. The proportion of vulnerable jobs in Africa is also anticipated to be increased largely.
Each report comparing the world’s geographies in overall health morbidity and mortality (and other areas such as poverty) will finish up with similar statements: ‘‘and this is highest in Sub-Saharan Africa”. Even so, there are these who see global health as anything our government delivers a lot more help to than to the healthcare needs of those in our own nation. Antibiotics can assist with certain pathogens, but their misuse and indiscriminate application have led to the rise of drug-resistant ‘super-bugs’ that are now one particular of humanity’s most critical public health risks.
Aparna: The very best part was understanding about healthcare and medical doctor-patient partnership in yet another culture and nation. This discussion of next methods is not only vital for Liberia but for all of us as avid participants in the thrilling planet of global health. It is uncertain at this time no matter whether or not these partnerships are attainable beneath present models of global health. Globalization has developed huge parallels in the top quality of health amongst nations.
I have hence far written couple of articles right here on HubPages concerning Health Troubles in south Africa. The Commission examines three overlapping domains of culture and wellness: cultural competence, well being inequalities, and communities of care. The Distinction in Global Health is an chance that is supplied to students who demonstrate exceptional dedication to supplying longitudinal service over 4 years to an underserved group with a global perspective in mind. The incremental increase in population that has been seasoned in the current years is a single of the factors why the impacts of international warming are being felt drastically.
The years (decades) of gridlock on these values promoted an unbalanced national budget and ultimately the passage of the fiscal cliff initiative to force” our leaders to agree on how to balance the budget. Take away the people—as Ebola has done by killing 500 overall health workers in West Africa and beyond—and the program crumbles. Last month, it created it across the ocean to our well being center and was installed with its quite personal solar panel for energy.

text: Sums my thoughts up very well. Unfortunately I've already fled the Mirror Park area to settle for a nice apartment instead. Mirror Park could be a decently chill spot with cookouts and the occasional yuppie event in the park. Ultimately I chose to live and let live, but bangers somehow affording to live in a place that is one of the most expensive parts of the city is something I can't understand. Just as the area seems to have finally (somewhat) rid itself of the catgirl meme people (no offense... peace and love to all) here comes the homies turning it into a shithole and busting into every house with a car parked outside. There is a lack of real estate for gangs so I can see the desire to want to branch out to places like Morningwood, Alta, or Hawick, but Mirror Park simply shouldn't be affordable for unemployed criminals.

DC Comics Co-publisher Dan Didio promises there will never be a reboot of the DC Universe again. And that Post Convergence DC will be the DC Universe.
If you believe this, I have a bridge I want to sell you.
Yeah, there’s gonna be another reboot of the DC Universe. I guarantee it.
When the Co-publisher can’t even explain how his new Universe works after multiple articles and a Universe map there’s something clearly wrong with the product.
A Comic book universe is something that explains itself. It’s something a four-year-old child can figure out in seconds. People see characters or a trade dress on books and know what to buy.
The day Dan Didio is FIRED the newly hired Editor-in-chief will authorize a hard reboot to purge all of his changes from the DC Universe. Because any smart businessman won’t want to be bogged down with the baggage of Didio’s decade and a half of dysfunction or the negative energy it brings.
The reputation of DC Comics is tarnished in comic book world and even among the general public. All one has to do is mention DC Comics and it will unleash a torrent of negative posts. Most people see DC Merchandise announced at cons and go to message boards like The Fwoosh to talk about what they’re NOT going to buy. Movies like Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice have people getting annoyed, not excited about seeing them.
No new executive worth their salt wants those storm clouds hovering above them. No, a new boss is going to order in a fleet of garbage trucks and a couple of garbage barges to take out Didio’s trash. Then they’re going to go and make the efforts to try to give comic fans an olive branch. Because they understand that rebuilding the DC Comics brand will be HARD WORK.
Readers won’t have to worry about the mess that the DC Universe has become. Because it’ll all be wiped out and replaced. At this stage in the game DC’s continuity is so FUBAR that no team of editors, writers or artists can fix it. The story structures have become so damaged over the last fifteen years that the entire thing has to be completely wiped out.
Sad, because even as early as 2008 I thought the old DC Universe could have been salvaged. But all of Didio’s mismanagement has done irreparable harm to DC’s continuity. From a creative standpoint DC Comics isn’t just a WRECK, it’s a TOTAL LOSS.
Too many characters have been damaged. Too many stories have holes in them. Who’s dead? Who’s alive? Where’s the entry point for the new reader to pick up on an old character’s adventures? How can a new reader even access the character’s back issues? How does the new reader make anything fit? Pre-Crisis? Post Crisis? New 52? Post Convergence?
It gave me a headache just typing that sentence. Imagine how a new reader will feel at the comic shop or on Amazon.
Didio says Convergence was supposed to solve all the continuity problems. But all he did was make them WORSE. Clearly, he has no understanding of how stories work in a universe model. And no smart publisher is going to want to deal with the baggage from his fifteen years of failure while they try to make DC successful again.
Didio’s mismanagement has turned the DC Universe into a HEADACHE for veteran comic fans who know these characters, and it would be IMPOSSIBLE for a new reader to access.
That means any New DC Universe in a post-Didio era will have to start fresh with a Golden Age Justice Society, Superman in red trunks, Batman with Dick Grayson as Robin, Barry Allen as the Flash, Diana Prince as Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter on the Justice League. A DC Universe familiar to old readers and new ones.
There will definitely be a reboot of the DC Universe the day Dan Didio and his gang of four are terminated by Warner Brothers executives. This will be a Hard reboot, the kind that Mac users experienced when Apple went from Power PC G4 to the Intel Processors. Yeah, there will be a lot of upset DC fans like the Apple crowd were in the mid 2000s, but most DC fans will understand if DC’s new Editor in Chief gives them a new DC Universe that resembles something like the Pre-Didio era DC and runs as smoothly as an Intel Mac.

Cornbread cookies are the most delicious cookie to serve with your Sunday chili. They have enough sweetness with the honey, chewy centers, and crispy edges! They can be made within 30 minutes and are my new obsession.
These cookies have now replaced the honey cornbread I used to make with my homemade chili. They stay soft for about 5 days after baking and still melt in your mouth. Who knew something a dessert with cornmeal in it would be so satisfying!
What's in cornbread cookies?
Tips for the perfect cornbread cookies!
You will need an electric mixer for these cookies! However, follow these tips to make the perfect cornbread cookies!
- Room temperature butter is always best as it mixes up well. Do not melt the butter for this recipe or cookies will have a much different texture.
- Both sugars allow for the cookies to be soft in the center and crisp around the edges! In addition, provide amazing flavor!
- The cookies do spread in the oven, but will crisp up after they have cooled, so don’t fret. So it is important to bake until the edges are golden brown.
- Drizzle extra honey on top for added flavor!
How to make cornbread cookies
These cookies are simple to make and require only a couple of steps.
First, prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon mats. Set aside.
Second, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, both sugars, honey, eggs and vanilla extract. Next, add in the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and cornstarch and mix until combined.
Lastly, drop about 2 tbsp of batter on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to complete cooling. Drizzle with extra honey if desired!

With their emphasis on totalitarianism, rigid ideology, and personality cults, it's safe to say that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had many common characteristics. Both regimes also had great faith in propaganda to promote their political ideas. This comparative collection of Nazi and Soviet posters compiled by the website gulag.ipvnews.org appears to indicate that the two authoritarian systems also had an uncannily similar aesthetic and approach to graphic design.

The tender, awarded to DCS Civil Tas, will include landscaping, lighting and stormwater. A rain garden will also be constructed to improve the quality of the stormwater discharge to Kangaroo Bay.
Construction of the promenade will extend the Clarence Foreshore Trail and link the existing pathway at Kangaroo Bay Parklands to Rosny College and the boat ramp at Rosny Park near the bowls club.
“The Kangaroo Bay Foreshore Promenade will improve accessibility and amenity for pedestrians and cyclists travelling between Bellerive Village and Rosny Hill,” Mayor of Clarence, Alderman Doug Chipman said.
“The promenade was identified in the Kangaroo Bay Urban Design Strategy and is another step in the re-activation of the area into a significant destination for recreation, tourism and business.”
Construction is expected to begin in July this year.
The first stages of the Kangaroo Bay Foreshore Promenade included the construction of a retractable bridge across the slipway near the Bellerive Yacht Club in 2010 and a multi-user pathway to Kangaroo Bay Parklands and the sports field completed earlier this year.
The tender for construction of the Kangaroo Bay Foreshore Promenade was awarded to DCS Civil Tas.

Sisi, Putin call for anti-terror Mideast coalition
Putin and Sisi called for a coalition to combat terrorism in the Middle East
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi on Wednesday called for a coalition to combat terrorism in the Middle East.
Opening a meeting with Putin in Moscow, Sisi said "the Egyptian people" are hoping for broader ties with Russia in all areas, particularly in fighting terrorism in the Middle East.
Putin told reporters after the talks that regional powers should join their efforts to combat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group.
"(We) have underscored the vital importance of setting a counter-terrorism front to include key international players of the region including Syria," he said.
The news comes as leaders from Arab allies the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan traveled this week to the Russian capital Moscow, after receiving an invitation from Putin.
The UAE capital of Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince and Deputy Armed Forces commander Mohammad bin Zayed al-Nahyan, Jordan’s King Abdullah II and the Egyptian president were attending an air show, as Russia seeks to grow its civil and military aviation sectors.
On Tuesday, Putin said that the show would see the signing of a series of “serious agreements.”
During the visits, international issues featured heavily in high-level meetings on the sidelines between the Russian leader and his Arab counterparts.
On Tuesday, King Abdullah of Jordan told Putin that Moscow had a vital role to play bringing together rival sides in Syria to seek a solution to the ongoing war.
Putin also discussed the Syrian crisis with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, telling the crown prince that he was “very happy to seize this opportunity to discuss regional issues and bilateral relations with you," according to the UAE’s state-run news agency WAM.
Putin and Egypt’s Sisi, who is now on his third official visit to Russia, were also expected to hammer out the details of a joint project to build Egypt's first nuclear power station but Putin told reporters on Wednesday that experts from both countries are still working on it.
The United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt have close security ties with Washington, though they have come under some strain following the Arab Spring revolts in the Middle East and North Africa.
Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mohammad and Sisi also met during the Moscow trip, and discussed ways to bolster ties, according to WAM.
“Egypt remains the backbone of stability and a safety valve for the Middle East region given its strategic position and security role,” the UAE crown prince said. “This strategic position maximizes the importance of backing and standing beside it.”

Last year I attended the CMAA Junior Academy of Country Music in Tamworth but didn’t get to spend time at the festival. So this year I decided to completely immerse myself in what the city has to offer for the 10 day period that is the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
Flashback to the CMAA Junior Academy of Country Music, where I became close friends with one of the best people in the world, Laura Byrnes. Laura is from a small country town in Victoria and she’s also a singer/songwriter, so we decided that this year we would share the times we were given to perform and spend the week together supporting one another in our songs.
Some of the venues we played at included the Toyota Park Stage, Hogs Breath Café and Fanzone. It was honestly the most incredible experience to be able to perform every day for a week and have people in the audience that weren’t just my family. My time in Tamworth really helped me develop my courage and get a better handle on the nerves I experience before every show. It was definitely one of the best weeks of my year so far, and I must thank Laura and her family for being such great company! Bring on Tamworth 2017!

The maritime prison
From September 17, the museum and the Historical Defense Service offer you a selection of documents devoted to a little-known topic: the maritime prison.
From the foundation of the arsenal in 1666, the Navy is equipped with an institution suitable to apply the paintings of the military court. The Prison is first installed in the building occupied today by the Navy Museum before settling in the former powder keg of Martrou, today Conservatoire de musique. Around an extraordinary collection of anthropometric photographs from the end of the nineteenth century, the selection proposes an approach to a judicial, maritime and human history.
From 17 September to 31 December

On mei 18, 144 members of the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) will offer free or reduced admission and special programs for the eighth annual Art Museum Day.
The theme of this year’s celebration is Art Museums Foster Vibrant Communities. This theme reflects the role art museums play as engines for the creative economy and partners with school systems and civic organizations—directly and indirectly benefiting everyone in their communities.
AAMD encourages visitors to use social media to share their Art Museum Day experiences using the hashtag #artmuseumday.
“Art museums are invaluable communal spaces that bring people together to experience the best of human creativity across cultures and generations,” said Chris Anagnos, Executive Director of AAMD. “On Art Museum Day, museums across noard Amerika invite everyone to come together with their families, friends, and neighbors to celebrate that creative spirit, connect in common experiences, and enjoy great works of art.”
“The members of AAMD are proud to participate in Art Museum Day as part of our service to our communities,” said Brian Ferriso, President of AAMD and Director and Chief Curator of the Portland Art Museum. “We are excited to share our programs, exhibitions, and collections with the public and welcome everyone to join us on mei 18. "
AAMD represents 245 art museums in the U.S., Kanada, en Meksiko. An agile, issues-driven organization, AAMD has three desired outcomes: engagement, leadership, and shared learning.
A comprehensive list of participating AAMD member art museums will be available on the AAMD website, which also lists museums celebrating on dates adjacent to mei 18.


text: A simple single-radial-haemolysis technique is described that permits the detection and assay of antibody to influenza virus haemagglutinin. The method depends on the passive haemolysis of virus-treated erythrocytes by antihaemagglutinin antibody and complement. Under the "standard" test conditions described antibody to the other surface antigen of the influenza virus (neuraminidase) or to the internal antigens of the virus (nucleoprotein and matrix protein) do not produce haemolysis. Because it requires only small amounts of crude virus antigen and is rapid and simple, the method appears to be of considerable value for large-scale seroepidemiologic studies of new influenza virus variants. Antihaemagglutinin antibody detected by single-radial-haemolysis appears to be relatively strain-specific; the technique may therefore be useful in the antigenic characterization of virus isolates.

Three senior judges have ruled that the public has no right to read documents that would reveal how Prince Charles has sought to alter government policies.
The high court judges have rejected a legal attempt by the Guardian to force the publication of private letters written by the prince to government ministers.
Cabinet ministers have conceded that the prince’s private letters – dubbed “black spider memos” because of their scratchy handwriting – contained the prince’s “most deeply held personal views and beliefs” that could undermine the perception of his political neutrality.
However, Judge said that the power of ministers under the FoI Act to issue a veto and override a decision reached by judges raised “troublesome concerns”, particularly as even a ruling by the supreme court could be overridden.
“The possibility that a minister of the crown may lawfully override the decision of a superior court of record involves what appears to be a constitutional aberration,” he said.
“It is an understatement to describe the situation as unusual,” he wrote, adding that barristers could find no equivalent in any other British law.
Hmm… Grieve, the attorney general, argued that there was a risk that the prince would not be seen to be politically neutral by the public if the letters were published. Does anyone else have a bad feeling about Charles as King?

Sanders of the River is a British 1935 B&W adventure movie directed by Zoltan Korda and based on the Edgar Wallace's 1911 novel. In 1930s Nigeria, British District Commissioner R.G. Sanders (Leslie Banks) befriends a native chief Bosambo (famous African American bass singer Paul Robeson) who wants piece and prosperity for his tribe.
The following weapons were used in the film Sanders of the River:
FN Model 1900
In the final scene Commissioner R.G. Sanders (Leslie Banks) holds an FN Model 1900 pistol.

Webley .455 Mk VI
Lt. Tibbets (Robert Cochran) and several other British officers carry holsters for Webley Revolvers. Tibbets draws his revolver in the final scene. Due to the long barrel, his revolver is supposed to be Webley .455 Mk VI. Smuggler and gunrunner Farini (Marques De Portago) also carries a holster for long Webley revolver but his gun isn't seen.

Smith makes an attempt to leavy King Mofolaba's village.
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III
British native soldiers are armed with Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III rifles, mostly with Pattern 1907 bayonets. Some of King Mofolaba's warriors use SMLE rifles, smuggled by Farini.
Note: the soldiers wear uniform of the King's African Rifles, a regiment that served in the British East African territories but never in the West African territories, such as Nigeria. This is explainable as the movie was filmed in the East Africa, mostly in Kenya.

A hunting rifle of unknown model is seen in Farini's boat.
A rifle is partially seen in the boat behind Farini's hand. It is more likely not a bolt action gun but some other system of a breechloader, like falling or rolling block, for example a Farquharson Rifle
that was popular for the African hunts.
The barrel with the hooded front sight is seen.
A bundle of rifles, wrapped in canvas, is seen in Farini's hut in King Mofolaba's village. What is seen of these rifles doesn't allow to identify them but these are definitly not SMLE due to the different shape of the buttstocks.
A bundle of rifles leans against the wall of the hut.
Another view of the guns. What is supposed to be an open bolt can be seen.
One more view of the guns.
Double Barreled Shotgun
A Double Barreled Shotgun is seen in Farini's boat and then in the hut. It seems to have Holland & Holland style underlever, so this gun may be not a shotgun but a Double rifle, but judging by the long and thin barrels, a shotgun seems to be more credible guess.

Between new machinery and advances in technology, it is hard to know where to invest your time and money to ensure that your manufacturing business continues to grow.
To make it easier for you, we’ve narrowed it down to three key areas every manufacturing business should invest in to stay ahead of the game. We hope that by following this guide your company will enjoy growth and prosperity for years to come.
Invest in your space
You can’t grow your business if you don’t have a strong foundation, and in the manufacturing industry that solid base needs to start with your physical workspace. When you invest in the smart design and ongoing development of your space, you can grow your company with far greater ease.
To make sure your business continually operates like a well-oiled machine, it’s worth asking the following questions.
Is your workshop safe?
To ensure your workshop is safe it should be well-lit, adequately ventilated and be well maintained. Taking precautions such as applying epoxy non slip coatings to your concrete floor will also reduce the risk of accidents and improve workplace safety.
Is your space equipped with the machinery it needs?
Your team can’t get the job done right if they don’t have the tools they need. By ensuring you keep up-to-date with the latest machinery and technology in your sector, you automatically invest in your long-term success.
Have you mapped out a suitable floor plan?
Taking time to develop a practical layout for your manufacturing company allows you to better organise your space, in turn speeding up production times and enhancing overall productivity.
For larger spaces, it’s also a health and safety requirement to line your floor with safety markings.
Invest in the latest technology
There’s a saying in business, “you’re only as good as your last success”. In the world of manufacturing, your company is only ever as good as the last product you made. To make sure every item leaving your warehouse is on the cutting edge of innovation, it’s crucial to invest in the latest technologies available in your sector, especially those that have been designed for and tailored to your niche.
Investing in the latest tech and equipment in your sector allows you to:
- Increase your productivity
- Accelerate operating times
- Improve internal processes
- Expand your current offering
- Attract new clients
Technological advances in manufacturing are constantly evolving. Once considered too sci-fi for real life, tools such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have continued to advance the relationship between man and machine, a development that Hitachi Solutions believes will continue to have a positive impact on a range of manufacturers.
According to industry leader Cerasis, examples of some of the manufacturing technology trends being adopted by the sector’s most innovative businesses include:
- 3D Printing
- The Internet of Things (IoT)
- Cloud Computing
- Big Data and Predictive Maintenance Technology
Invest in your team members
If you own a business you most likely understand that good people are hard to find. When you bring new team members on board in the manufacturing sector specifically, good people also require periodic professional development.
It’s a priority that sometimes falls by the wayside, but investing in your employees is hands down one of the smartest business decisions you can make. Even Richard Branson is known to have said: customers come second, employees first.
By investing in periodic training programs you are not only able to keep up with industry trends, but you’ll also foster healthier team morale by getting your staff members excited for the future of the business and the role that they will play in the growth of your company.
When you show your staff members that they are a priority, by implementing internal reward programs and keeping on top of occupational health and safety measures, you build a team that will proudly, and more willingly, take your business to the next level.
At Cotewell we are dedicated to helping our clients in every way we can. If you are looking to invest in better flooring, or line marking get in contact with us today!

I would like to change the vertex positions on the fly from Python.
However, when I run
self.object.findData('position').value = 0.2
ValueError: assignment destination is read-only. I can read the value without any issues.
Has the API been changed? What should I do instead?
I would like to do it directly from Python because I want to have more control. Thus, no PartialLinearMovementConstraint or similar.
Thank you for your help!
thank you for the suggestion. If I understand it correctly, the use of hexahedral meshes makes transformation back to voxels obsolete.
Could you please provide a code example. I tried to search for one but I couldn’t find it. I am particularly interested in how to load and export the mesh.
Somehow I made it work. I took the DiffusionSolverConfig.cmake from the binary installation of Sofa. I could load the example.
Thank you for your help!
Almost there 🙂
I disabled Upsampling and I could compile. But I forgot to include the PLUGIN_IMAGE. Now when I do it, I get
Adding plugin image CMake Error at SofaKernel/modules/Sofa.Config/cmake/SofaMacrosConfigure.cmake:343 (find_package): By not providing "FindDiffusionSolver.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "DiffusionSolver", but CMake did not find one.

It doesn’t appear to be in the src directory.
I took your advice and installed CGAL-5.0.2.
However, I still have my last error from the post #20275.
Could you please tell me how to fix it.
git clone -b v21.06 https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa.git sofa/src
What version should I be using instead. Please provide the right git clone command if not only the version is different. Thank you
so far I have figured it out. However, UpsamplePointCloud is more complicated. My C++ knowledge is rather limited 🙁

I took the suggestion of the compiler and replaced
I could compile CylinderMesh.
Now my error is in Refine2DMesh. Is there an universal fix?

Our first visit to the revamped Garage and what a difference, with about 40 mirror balls hanging from the ceiling, it made the floors and walls look like a slide of multiplying bacteria under a microscope – most disconcerting.
David Ramirez took to the stage, in a blue denim jacket looking slightly ruffled, with a plastic glass of something to ease him through the set or to offset last nights hangover and announced himself as coming from Austin Texas. Many would describe David’s songs as depressing, in fact even David describes them as that but that is perhaps a little disingenuous, they are at times brutally honest and may concentrate on the darker areas of life but don’t let that detract from the fact that this man can command your attention, either by singing aggressively, passionately or by singing with a quiet sweet soulful voice.
Not one for mentioning the titles of his songs we’ll make a stab that the opening two are both from his forthcoming album, “We’re Not Going Anywhere”. The first, “Time” played out with David’s trademark delivery style outlined the day of someone with literally nothing to do, while the second “Telephone Lovers” detailed the death of a transatlantic relationship in painful detail.
Things moved up a gear with the slightly more uptempo “Stick Around”, though the subject matter still seemed a little dark. The show was not all misery by any means, in fact David has a very subtle sense of humour, his initial remark on starting the set was to admire the horseshoe shape that the audience had fashioned themselves into and before playing “Mighty Fine” he regaled us with a story of playing a prison, noting that he was telling prisoners locked up all day how hard it was on the road!
Keeping up the momentum, he picked up a harmonica for a solo during “That Ain’t Love”, and things really were cooking. A regular visitor to these shores, David expressed a great affinity for London, he was to slow things down once again with the absorbing “How Do You Get ‘Em Back”. The next song had a ferocious delivery around the line in the chorus “We threw the baby out with the bath water”.
As stated earlier, David somewhat plays on his melancholic demeanour, he told a delightful story of playing his record to his Mum who then asked if he could do something cheery! He then dedicated “Find The Light” to her. The final song of his set found inspiration in the musical losses that we have suffered over the last 12 months or so, noting that they will always live on in their performances, “I’m Not Going Anywhere”. It was delivered in the style of Leonard Cohen, one of those sad losses someone who like David was mistakenly typecast as having perennially depressing songs whereas in fact there was far more to him.
The new album is due in September, and hopefully he’ll be back on these shores next year to promote it.

In a joint statement 73 bar associations across Turkey called on the UN and the international community to initiate targeted sanctions against China in order to stop its treatment of the “Uyghurs of East Turkestan.”
The Chinese government is committing crimes against humanity, and coordinated international action is needed, the Turkish bar associations said in their statement.
They also urged the Turkish people and national rights organizations to raise their voices against the Chinese repression.
A report released by Human Rights Watch (HRW) in April identified a range of abuses against Uyghurs that amount to offenses committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack directed against a population: mass arbitrary detention, torture, enforced disappearances, mass surveillance, cultural and religious erasure, separation of families, forced returns to China, forced labor and sexual violence and violations of reproductive rights.
The Turkish government’s Uyghur policy is widely criticized by its citizens and rights organizations. A total of 53.2 percent of Turks think the government hasn’t given an “appropriate response” to the Chinese treatment of its Uyghur Muslim minority in northwestern Xinjiang province, according to a survey conducted by Metropoll.
On March 10 a motion calling China’s abuses against Uyghurs “genocide” was voted down by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). Deputies from its ally the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) chose to abstain from the vote in parliament.
The motion was submitted by the right-wing opposition İYİ (Good) Party to Parliament Speaker Mustafa Şentop, asking the parliament to declare China’s actions against Uyghurs “genocide” in accordance with the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
China’s treatment of the Uyghurs has drawn international condemnation, with human rights groups estimating that some 1 million Uyghurs have been arbitrarily incarcerated in a network of prison camps.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) denies committing atrocities and abuses against the Uyghurs despite a growing body of evidence. The Chinese government has steadfastly resisted calls to admit independent monitors into the region, allowing only carefully stage-managed tours for select journalists and diplomats.
Resolutions passed by the Dutch, Canadian and British parliaments called China’s repression of Uyghurs “genocide.”
The United States, the European Union, Britain and Canada in March imposed sanctions on several Chinese officials for human rights abuses against the Uyghurs.
As Ankara grows more economically dependent on Beijing, the Turkish government is no longer offering a safe haven or defending Uyghur rights. Genocide motions in Western parliaments have also been criticized by government and party officials.
The Uyghurs have sought refuge in Turkey for decades because of their shared cultural ties. Turkey, however, has become less vocal about the plight of Uyghurs in recent years as it has developed economic ties with China.
An estimated 50,000 Uyghurs are currently living in Turkey, making it the largest Uyghur diaspora in the world.
Uyghurs in Turkey not only worry about their families but also fear for their own safety as China recently ratified an extradition agreement with Turkey that was signed several years ago.
The Turkish government arrested members of the Uyghur diaspora in the country during the official visit of Chinese Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi to Ankara on March 25-26.

Rise Above the Mark is a documentary that focuses on the damage being caused by the “corporate takeover” of America’s public schools.
The purpose of Rise Above the Mark, narrated by Peter Coyote, is to educate the general public about the “corporate takeover” of Indiana public schools and what parents, community members and educators can do to protect their local public schools. Legislators are calling the shots and putting public schools in an ever-shrinking box. WLCSC Board of School Trustees and Superintendent of Schools, Rocky Killion, want to secure resources and legislative relief necessary to achieve the school district’s mission of creating a world-class educational system for all children. The school district’s strategic plan will introduce a model of education that puts decision making back into the hands of local communities and public school teachers, rather than leaving it in the hands of legislators and ultimately lining the pockets of…

Ambleside Map for In type diabetes, the body does not produce sufficient insulin within the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Its onset is frequently triggered by an infection, often by one of the Coxsackie virus family. This virus expresses a protein similar in structure to an enzyme involved in the production of insulin, and the immune response to this virus can also destroy the insulin-producing cells within the pancreas. Insulin normally attaches itself to glucose molecules in the circulatory system, permitting it to be taken up by the various body organs which need it to provide them with energy. Without insulin, these glucose molecules cannot be absorbed, leading to high levels of glucose within the blood which the body cannot use. This can lead to a life-threatening coma known as diabetic ketoacidosis, which requires hospitalisation and immediate treatment to avoid death. Less dramatic symptoms include increased thirst and urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and extreme fatigue. Ambleside Map 2016.

It’s hard to believe that we are already in fiscal year 2019-2020, as Monday, July 1, 2019, officially marked the commencement of Valencia’s new fiscal year. Now is the perfect time to reflect on FY 18-19, celebrate accomplishments and plan for opportunities to come in FY 19-20.
For starters, the new fiscal year is a great time to take a breath and reorganize. Perhaps for you that means reorganizing last year’s paperwork cluttering your desk, actually filing your files or making the first mark in your FY 19-20 agenda.
This is also a great time to breathe a budgetary sigh of relief, since new fiscal years bring new budgets. Of course, with those new budgets come responsibility.
To help us transition into the new year, Assistant Vice President of Budgets and Analysis Oscar Cristancho Mercado offers us some tips:
- Review your budgets frequently, and reach out to the Budget Office for assistance with planning and projecting fiscal year expenditures.
- Monthly budget reports are available to assist you with your ongoing planning. Ask the Budget Office how to receive an automatically generated monthly report.
- Gift cards are not allowed to be purchased with College funds.
- Food, T-shirts or any other personnel-use items cannot be charged to a fund one Operating Budget.
- If you are the budget manager of several indexes, you may transfer between those indexes to cover needed expenses.
- If you are making a purchase for two different budget managers, there’s no need to transfer the funds to one budget manager; just split the requisition between the two indexes.
- If you have a change in budget managers, please send an email to the Budget Office.
Procurement and Contract Tips
- Prior to submitting requisitions in Banner, please send all contracts to Yaremis Fullana, managing director, procurement, for review and to obtain final signatures.
- Encourage suppliers and contractors to use Valencia’s agreements to avoid delay in review and possible negotiation of terms in outside agreements. You can find these agreements in Atlas, in the Employees tab. Under Employee Support, click on Tools and then Valencia Forms.
- When entering your requisitions in Banner, include the proper number of quotes, the proposal, your fully executed agreements and renewals, and contract numbers.
If you have any budget questions, please email the Budget office at email@example.com. For any procurement questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.org. For any contract related questions please contact Lora Lee Johnston-Kavey, director, contracts and records, at email@example.com or 407-299-5000, extension 3048.
We wish you the best in this new fiscal year.

Chronic A Short Note On Chronic Renal Disease Essays
ESRD is the fifth and final stage of CKD according to the National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (Abbasi, Chertow, & Hall, 2010). It is an irreversible deterioration of a patient 's kidney function leading to death in the absence of dialysis or transplantation (Abbasi, Chertow, & Hall, 2010). CKD is associated with systemic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, or direct kidney problems, including kidney stones, acute kidney injury, chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, obstructive uropathies, or vascular disorders (McCance & Huether, 2014).
The measure of kidney function is directly related to the renal blood flow (McCane & Huether, 2014), a certain drop leads to uremia followed by an onslaught of clinical manifestations (McCane & Huether, 2014). The abnormal loss of kidney function in CKD would have to be over months or years as opposed to the resulting azotemia in acute renal failure (ARF) in which the loss of function is…

Timeouts are lightning-quick interviews. Five questions to help you get to know the players holding court at Dribbble. Many thanks to Sean for being today’s interviewee.
Who are you? Let us know where you hail from and what you do.
Hey! I’m Sean McCabe, a hand lettering artist from San Antonio, TX. Lettering is huge a passion of mine that I pursue every spare moment I have, but during the day I run Bold Perspecitve and design websites and logos full time with my partner, Brian, who is an awesome developer.
What are you working on?
Right now, the primary project I’ve been working on is "The Best Camera" letterpress poster. As far as lettering goes, I try to make sure I’m always creating. If I’m not working on a commissioned piece, I’m doing personal lettering projects to keep from getting complacent.
I’m a big fan of living simply and investing what profits I make from lettering work back into my ventures to enable future projects. Lately prints have been the focus, but sooner than later, I plan to expand the application of my lettering onto apparel and other fun things.
Choose a favorite shot of yours. Why is it a favorite?
This is probably one of my more underrated pieces, but it really is the core of what I believe is the key to success: “Do Good Work & Continue to Do Good Work”.
It seems to be popular to look for shortcuts to get exposure, or “hacks” to gain popularity, but really it’s about doing good work consistently. The rest will come naturally when your focus is right and your efforts are concentrated on producing great things rather than getting affirmation.
Tell us about your setup. What tools did you use to create the shot(s)? (e.g. hardware, software, pens, paper, blowtorch, etc.)
My weapons of choice are Micron pens. I use a regular 2B pencil to sketch a rough draft of my composition, and gradually refine it closely to what I want the final piece to look like (and of course a trusty to keep things in check!). The sketches are inked with just about every size Micron from 005 to 08. Often times, this ink sketch will be the final, but occasionally I will create a digital, textured version from it. If that’s the case, I like to dual wield Illustrator and Photoshop for vectors and texturing respectively.
I like to keep my workspace simple and clean to give myself plenty of room for sketching. I always keep my trusty Ugmonk leather journal handy as well.
Choose a favorite shot from another Player. Why do you dig it?
I’d have to pick Just an ‘S’ by Joshua Bullock. Not only is he super talented, but the guy is just a genuinely humble person on top of it. I love his style, and his similar fondness for detail at small sizes. I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time last year at an Austin Dribbble meetup, and we had a blast discussing our shared love of lettering. He actually gave me the sketch in this shot when we met! So kind.

Z170X-Gaming 6 Circuit Analysis Continued
The audio on the Z170X-Gaming 6 isn't as beefy as that on the Z170X-Gaming 7. Instead of a Core3Di controller, GIGABYTE is using a Realtek ALC1150. GIGABYTE does provide the DIP socket with a BurrBrown OPA2134 amplifier. GIGABYTE provides DIP switches for gain control and Nichicon Gold series capacitors for better fidelity. There are 13 red LEDs located along the PCB divide, and they illuminate the PCB divide quite well.
The Z170X-Gaming 7 has dual NICs; one from Intel (i219v) and the other from Killer (e2201). I was expecting the new e2400 like the Z170X-Gaming 7, but instead, GIGABYTE is providing the e2201 which is the older model. I was expecting an ASMedia USB 3.1 controller; I was surprised to find Intel's USB 3.1 controller labeled DSL6540. There is also a Texas Instruments type-C switch to support the reversible standard.
An iTE IT8628E is used as the main SuperIO chip that controls the fans and monitors temperatures and voltages. The board has Dual BIOS made up for two 16MB (128Mbit) ROMs. There is also a Genesys Logic USB 2.0 hub under the last PCI-E 16x slot to expand the internal USB 2.0 headers. Three ASMedia ASM1480 PCI-E quick switches switch SATA bandwidth to the M.2 slots.
The straight line of four ASMedia 1480 quick switches moves 8x PCI-E 3.0 from the first 16x slot to the second. The other two switches are used to switch 4x of PCI-E 3.0 from the last 16x slot to one of the M.2 slots.

A Bracelet That Predicts Your PMS Threat Level
Help for men everywhere is finally here! U.K. man, Kari Dorn, invented a PMS alert wristband.
It's a gadget that could help make men a bit more understanding at certain times of the month or at least give them advance warning of a partner’s sudden mood swings.
It's a wristband that is designed to change color when a woman is suffering from pre-menstrual tension. It works by monitoring subtle changes in a woman's body temperature during her monthly cycle - and has been dubbed 'Help for Husbands' by inventor Karl Dorn.

- The AIF in Battle: How the Australian Imperial Force Fought 1914–1918
The AIF in Battle: How the Australian Imperial Force Fought 1914–1918
By the end of the First World War the combat formations of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in both France and the Middle East were considered among the British Empire's most effective troops. While sometimes a source of pride and not a little boasting, how the force came to be so was not due to any inherent national prowess or trait.
Instead it was the culmination of years of training, organisational change, battlefield experimentation and hard-won experience; a process that included not just the Australians, but the wider British imperial armies as well. This book brings together some of Australia's foremost military historians to outline how the military neophytes that left Australia's shores in 1914 became the battle winning troops of 1918.
It will trace the evolution of several of the key arms of the AIF, including the infantry, the light horse, the artillery, and the flying corps, and also consider how the various arms worked together alongside other troops of the British Empire to achieve a remarkably high level of battlefield effectiveness.

Managing the worldwide COVID-19 crisis, where are we?
In the face of the current world crisis, confinement has proven to be the only solution to stop the spread of the coronavirus. However, not all countries have the same approach to confinement…for some, it was imposed too late. For others, confinement is too strict and for critics, confinement is simply not the most appropriate way to stop the pandemic.
Let’s take a brief look at the status of the countries most affected and their management of the crisis by the administrative authorities.
China, patient O
This is the country on which all eyes are focused. The Hubei province, where the virus was first detected, has lifted confinement after two months. At the end of March, there were an additional 81,589 people infected and 3,318 victims in the 11 million inhabitant metropolis of Wuhan.
Containment measures for the 1st country affected were drastic:
- Leaving the region was prohibited as soon as the government’s public announcement was made on January 23 in order to limit the spread of the virus within the infected region.
- Obligatory masks were to be worn (remember that the wearing of masks is an extremely widespread practice for the Chinese population).
- A freeze on interregional and international transportation was imposed (which included air, road and rail). The Covid-19 pandemic shows the significant role of transportation in the spread of a virus in the 21st
- Regarding urban transportation networks: the circulation of automobile traffic was formally prohibited and public transportation came to a standstill for the duration of the confinement.
However, the same rules have not been applied in all countries. In fact, in some regions, there was a limit of a maximum of 3 errands per week, while in others, only one person in a household was allowed to go out.
Though drastic, the World Health Organization had praised the measures taken by China as being “very, very powerful” in “reducing” the risk of the virus spreading outside its borders long before considering coronavirus as a “public health emergency of international concern” in January.
Italy: Is there a link between confinement and the spread of the virus?
The Italian peninsula has the highest number of COVID-19 infections and deaths. However, the government reacted by imposing a by-region confinement as of February 21.
Faced with the speed of propagation, the government (whose rigor has sometimes been criticized) had shown its responsiveness by wanting to impose measures beginning on the entire peninsula beginning on March 9.
- As in the Wuhan region, schools and universities closed, and people were prohibited from going out except for professional, health and essential purchases.
- Wearing of masks was obligatory for Italian police officers.
- Businesses were asked to give their staff time off work
- Prisoners were also denied visits from relatives.
- Bars, restaurants and stores could still be open, but only from 8am to 6pm (as long as a minimum safe distance of 1 meter between customers was respected).
- International sporting events still took place but behind closed doors.
These half-way measures nevertheless allowed the government to rethink their actions. Things now seem to be moving toward a gradual and more regulated deconfinement, an “intelligent isolation policy” with tests on the population repeated every two weeks: Those who are negative can work, while the others must remain in isolation.
At the end of March, there were more than 30,000 deaths from the coronavirus, out of more than 110,000 people infected in Italy. Experts estimate that there are between 700,000 and 6 million actual cases (asymptomatic included), or 10% of the population, which raises questions about the upcoming lifting of confinement.
The United States: the challenge of federalism
According to statistics released at the end of March, no state in the U.S. has been spared by the coronavirus. On April 1st, there were 210,000 people who tested positive for the virus, and 5,000 deaths. Some states, such as Florida, put measures in place rather late, with oftentimes contradictory rules such as confinement of the population but celebrations in authorized places of worship.
Florida has a high number of retirees as well as the highest number of infections in contrast to most states which imposed confinement.
Similarly, there are disparities in the implementation of these measures at the federal level.
- In nine states, precautionary measures are partial and only imposed by district or city.
- In five states, measures concern only the closure of schools and the prohibition of gatherings.
For those who wonder why confinement is a decentralized decision in the U.S., it’s because public health policy is not a federal but a state responsibility. However, recourse by the president is quite possible.
In the face of these many differences, Singapore remains a role model with a record number of 4 deaths out of 900 reported COVID-19 cases (out of an estimated population of 6 million) at the beginning of April.
But how did the insular city-state manage to be so sparsely impacted?
The answers are many:
First, Singapore has already dealt with a pandemic comparable to the coronavirus: SARS in 2003. This allowed the country to put strong response measures in place and demonstrate their resilience, and they are already known for their strict rules around security.
Technological tracking is also advocated by the Singaporean state. It’s carried out via video surveillance and the use of TraceTogether, a government smartphone app. There exists a true form of self-sacrifice on the part of the population toward the government in all matters relating to health safety.
Data is being used to fight against Covid-19, and that’s what makes it easier for people to cooperate. In fact, there is no reluctance toward this electronic recording of information which allows positive people to be identified and even goes so far as to warn smartphones to a nearby person who has tested positive.
If society is at stake, then the effort of each individual is called upon in order to achieve rapid deconfinement.
Confinement is only mandatory for those who test positive for the coronavirus, for those who have been in close contact with a positive case or for those returning from travel. This targeted confinement allows the economy to operate while preventing spread. Telecommuting is currently not mandated.
Regarding businesses, only bars and discos are closed and social distance regulations are also imposed.
One could also mention the wearing of masks, but this accessory is already so ingrained in the culture that it hasn’t been impacted by the fear of the coronavirus alone.
Singapore continues to be cited as an example for its exceptional crisis management. Where all countries have followed the rule of general confinement in order to preserve the entire population, Singapore has preferred to isolate positive cases and identified clusters.
Accountability on the part of individuals also plays an important role. This can be seen by the wearing of masks, which is not mandated but is a common occurrence – a common barrier that has been normalized in Asia for years. Each individual plays an important role in society, and this is particularly rooted in Asian culture with regard to health.

Teacher suing St. Paul district says she was fired for supporting students of color
ST. PAUL — A former teacher with St. Paul Public Schools claims she lost her job because she advocated for students of color.
Sarah Dickhausen, who taught at Open World Learning Community, sued the school district Friday, Aug. 11, in Ramsey County District Court. She wants her job back and more than $75,000 in damages.
Dickhausen, who is white, was notified in April 2016 that she would not be brought back the following year because of "ineffective" teaching. About 60 students walked out of school to protest the decision.
Dickhausen said n the complaint that when she started working at the grades 6-12 school in 2015, she was "shocked by the lack of diversity."
She said many district employees placed their children at OWL and that school administrators afforded special privileges to white students, allowing them free roam in hallways, field trip opportunities and even raising their grades.
Dickhausen said students of color told her about bullying from white students and staff, and being suspended for minor infractions.
The teacher said Principal David Gundale told her in a meeting about her performance that OWL "is a white school, it will continue to be white, and there is nothing wrong with being white."
Gundale, she said, suggested she'd fit in better at a school like AGAPE, which serves pregnant teens, or Gordon Parks alternative school.
Gundale and the school district declined to comment Monday, Aug. 14. The district typically does not comment on pending litigation.
White students comprised 53 percent of OWL enrollment in 2015-16 and 21 percent districtwide. OWL students of color were suspended about 3.5 times as often as the school's white students.
Dickhausen alleges the school district violated the Minnesota Human Rights Act by retaliating against her for associating with students of color and opposing discriminatory practices.
Charlotte Parayno, a former security guard at OWL, is suing the school district and Securitas Security Services on the same complaint.
According to the complaint, Gundale was assigned to teach some classes but directed Parayno to "babysit" for him. Dickhausen said she often checked in on the classes because they had no licensed teacher.
Parayno says she was reassigned as a security guard at a different school because of her association with Dickhausen. She had to quit, she said, because she was unable to get transportation to the new school.
