Integrated human practices were well-tailored for the development of our project. We create a series of study to further discover the quality and practicality of our project. In the investigative study, we meet up with people from different backgrounds including agricultural academics, farmers, proprietors, and potential users. Therefore, we may integrate the opinions and advice into the project.
Expert Study—Advice from the professionals
July 13, 2016
A Visit to Agriculture Research Institute Council,
Applied Zoology Division,
Experimental experiences and advice must be learned from the professionals in the agriculture fields. We consulted Dr. Y.B. Huang and his postgraduate student in Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan. First, Dr. Huang told us the method of pest detection and interrelated knowledge. Details and techniques of insect cultivation, the lifestyle of larvae’s in the different growing stage, and feeding assays were generously offered by Dr. Huang. Particularly, he taught us how to feed the larvae then even gave the feeding food recipes to us.
Other than conferring knowledge, Dr. Huang also gave us some remarks for our project, enabling us to realize the difference of agriculture in manufacturing and research. He claimed that our system is gaining its necessity as the mode of agriculture in Taiwan has been gradually transforming into agricultural production and marketing group. The need for systematic management of the farm and the real-time monitor is growing. The device can help them detect the pests and analyze the related data such as temperature, soil moisture, and rainfall in real time and so on. Furthermore, he let us visit the cultivation room of oriental fruit flies, which is of his expertise. He also shared us with his experience of propagating new agricultural technique dealing with aged farmers. He said that “Though, the prevalence of our idea is in the embryonic stage, and the average age of working farmers is 63, which means that farmers are not likely to be familiar with electronic devices, senior aged farmers will start to learn how to use smartphone as long as our system work exceptionally well.” We were honored to have such opportunity consulting with Dr. Huang. Especially, we were thankful to Dr .Huang for providing us with the data of the number of moths in the central Taiwan in 2016 from Taiwan Agriculture Research Institute to train our prediction model.

A visit to National Chung Hsing University,
Department of Entomology,
Techniques of insect sample cultivations and feeding assays are not an easy task to master for they require empirical research and trouble shootings. Therefore, we went to the Department of Entomology at National Chung Hsing University to visit Professor Shaw-Yhi Hwang, whose specialty focuses on the research of tobacco cutworms. We presented our project to him and asked some advice for the insect feeding test. Surprisingly, Prof. Hwang was willing to supply us formulas of calculating the oral toxicity of artificial diet and larvae for the experiment. Prof. Hwang also invited us to learn the experiment about larvae in his laboratory. This sufficiently enhances our ability of feeding test. We gained rich, useful knowledge through the visit and appreciated the hospitality and generosity of Prof. Hwang.

User Study—Visit the farmers
To make sure that our design truly satisfies the needs of potential users in the future. We went to the Organic Green Market in National Tsing Hua University to investigate the opinions from the farm owners. In the investigation, first, we introduced our project briefly and asked them about some basic practical knowledge. Inquiries such as major crops, the existing major pests, pests in the urgent need of killing, pest resistance, the rampant season of the pests, and methods of prevention were made to probe the farming scenarios.
According to our product demonstration, apart from introducing repellent peptide—Pantide, we also asked them some questions about the device including the detector and the automatic sprinkler to get farmers’ recognitions and recommendations.
Most farmers appreciated our project because, in the recent organic agricultural system, the pests of cruciferous vegetables still rage on the farm. The major pests are Lepidopterans that damage the produce significantly. They had positive feedbacks for Pantide and were willing to take a try if it is effective. For farmers, PANTIDE coupled with the automatic detector and sprinkler device can not only solve the problem of pests but also achieve the functions of monitoring the farm in real-time, thus realizing the idea of labor-free agriculture. Surprisingly, some of them are willing to use the whole system. Additionally, the farmers are glad to let us go to their farm to catch pests for intra-laboratory experiment and provide us with their farm to let us have a real test for the field test. They expect us to finish our project quickly because they hope that they could use our product to solve the problem of pests in cruciferous vegetables—Lepidopterans as soon as possible.

Business Study—Visit the proprietors
Pesticide residue has covertly jeopardized our health as vegetables, fruits, crops, and other produces sneak into supermarkets, food stands, teashops, and even the domestic dining tables. In particular, the culture of hand-shake beverages is common in Taiwan, and citizens in Taiwan drinks 44 cups of beverage per year on average. We want to investigate the tea leaves sources in teashops further and ask the proprietors of teashops about their views on the related issues. Therefore, we went to the famous organic tea store—Yinchuan and consulted with the owner about the general choice of tea leaves and the tea quality in tea shops.
Yinchuan is an up-scale teashop targeted for affluent customers. He said though the cost of organic tea is high, it still has its market value. He also reminded us that if the upstream farm using pesticides, the downstream farm will be polluted by the pesticides residues, too. This better substantiates the importance of non-toxic pesticide. We think our project will solve this problem due to Pantide is biodegradable. He believed that the business trend of local, organic and safe agriculture would become the major in the future as customers are gaining the consciousness of food safety.

This is a short video I made as part of an application for work experience.
The brief was: "Tell us about yourself in under a minute". I took inspiration form Wes Anderson, tried not to take it too seriously. It's the first video I've made, and first time with FCPX and other such software, so very rough round the edges. There's a few details I would like to change if I had more time, but overall it came out ok.
Feel free to ask questions!
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

For long I’ve had the vague idea that I want to be my own boss. Whether I mean it as “be the boss of my own life” or “be my own boss in career terms” is irrelevant right now. What is relevant is realising that to be your own boss, in any circumstance, requires exceptional self-management.
We tend to be creatures of habit. The majority of us like to avoid discomfort, confrontation, and pushing ourselves beyond our current and familiar boundaries. Self-management requires us to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions, hold ourselves accountable, and above all, have an unwavering motivation to reach for what we want.
What is motivation?
Motivation is the process of stimulating us towards achieving our desired goal(s). For long I thought motivation was a feeling that I had to wait for in order to accomplish something like writing a chapter in my book. Before I took a closer look at what motivation really is, weeks and months would go by without a hint of ‘motivation’ meaning that the pages in my novel remained blank.
By understanding motivation as a process that aligns you towards your goals, you can have greater influence over the whole shebang. Motivation is what turns your thought into action, and lets you hop from one stepping stone to the other bringing you closer to the finish line.
How to find motivation when in a rut?
Let’s be honest, sometimes even though we can envision what we want from life and we feel that deep passion within us, it just isn’t enough. Often we find ourselves down in a rut and overwhelmed by our goals. As a result, we may become discouraged and lose sight of our purpose for days, weeks, months, or even years.
The interplay between positive and negative motivation – characterised by the unpleasant backlash we will experience if we don’t reach a goal, or even try to make the effort – can be effective in pushing us out of a rut. Below I outline the motivation process I go through every now and then when I begin drifting away from my goals and need to refocus myself on whatever it is that I want to improve or work towards in my life.
1. Find a purpose
If you don’t have any goal or purpose to aim towards, it becomes quite hard to have or uphold your motivation. A purpose doesn’t have to be anything grand like finding the solution to world peace. It can be as ‘small’ as getting through the day, if you are currently experiencing a dip in life. Just having something to aim towards makes it that much easier to get the ball rolling and lay out the first steps towards your goal.
2. Envision your ideal reality – Positive motivation
Once you have a goal, envision what it would look like achieving it in reality. For example, one of my goals is to work remotely from where ever I want to be that from home, a café, or whilst traveling. I try to envision my “typical” work day in as much detail as possible so that I become filled with dedication and excitement.
Find positive role models to follow in real life and online who have already accomplished what you want to boost your motivation further. We can feel lonely on our own path, because people close to us may not understand what we’re looking for. Therefore, finding even just one figure to look up to and seek inspiration from can help you stay focused.
3. Envision your worst case scenario – Negative motivation
By envisioning what we desperately DO NOT want in our life can scare us into action. It’s often easier to point to something and say “I don’t want that”. Therefore, to picture your life the way it would unfold, if you didn’t take any action today, is powerful. Useful questions to ask yourself during this exercise are:
- What am I running away from?
- If I stop will that what is chasing me catch up and become my reality?
- How would I feel? Could I be happy knowing that that is my reality?
Finally ask yourself; If I continue living the way I am right now and make the same perhaps unhealthy and unproductive decisions, what will my life look like in 5 years? In 10 years? What about 30 years? Will I be happy with the decisions I made or didn’t make? Or will I regret not taking responsibility for what I want and for my own well-being?
In addition, Lockwood et al. suggest that sometimes individuals can motivate themselves with a negative role model. Focusing on the actions of a highly unsuccessful person will illustrate the problems and actions we must try to avoid in the future, so that we won’t end up in a similar situation. However, note that what we may consider successful or unsuccessful is subjective to some degree.
Having a negative role model is beneficial, if you want to avoid unhealthy life habits, become better at managing your personal finances and make more responsible life choices, or break generational trauma patterns for the sake of your own mental health. You can benchmark the actions you take, and set a standard of trying to do better than the actions your negative role model may have taken.
4. Break your main goal down
Knowing what we want is easy. Knowing how to achieve it is difficult, and achieving it without taking any actionable steps is impossible. It is easy to become overwhelmed by how distant your goal seems at the start. Once you understand you don’t need to see the whole journey ahead of you, but just the first few meters, will encourage you to take those initial yet crucial steps.
Think of it like driving a car in the dark. Your headlights only illuminate the first few ten meters in front of you, but once you keep going, more of the road will come naturally into sight. It is important to break your main goal down into small, achievable, yet slightly challenging stepping stones. You don’t want to make it too easy, because a) where’s the fun in that, and b) in order to grow and learn your have to be uncomfortable and challenge yourself.
5. Show up and be your own competition
At the start of a new project it is discouraging to see no real change or growth. Self-doubt and the good old imposter syndrome may dig away at your confidence. Let’s not forget the urge to compare yourself to everyone else around you and their accomplishments. You may begin to spiral down the rabbit hole and your fears begin to talk you out of motivation, just as you were beginning to climb out of a rut.
Consistency is the most difficult stepping stone to reach, and it is where most of us fall into the water. Staying consistent even when you’re feeling tired or doubtful requires a whole new level of discipline i.e. self-management. You must learn to hold yourself accountable, and have enough self-awareness to point out when you’re slacking, and make the appropriate adjustments to fix the course you are on.
Here a healthy amount of competition is crucial, because how do you know you are doing better if you don’t have anything to compare to? That is why you should aim to compete with the person you were yesterday. If you can do any task a tiny bit better today, and then a little more tomorrow, it will have an exponential impact on your life going forward considering the Pareto principle.
Once you see motivation as a concrete process, rather than an airy concept that sometimes hits you out of nowhere a bit like inspiration, you realise how much influence you have over it.
I’ve been a culprit of sitting at my desk waiting for this miracle. Trust me, you can be sitting there for quite a while procrastinating, because you “lack motivation”. Instead, what you may lack are the necessary self-management skills to create and stick with a strategy to keep you motivated and hold yourself accountable in the long-term. Sorry, if I made you feel attacked. I know I do.
What is something that you did yesterday, and would like to improve on today?* I would love to know in the comments 🙂
*Mine is to be more consistent with publishing my blog posts weekly.

After being delayed a year, the Tokyo Olympics are set to begin this Friday but there are growing concerns among experts about whether the games will actually be completed due to the looming threat of COVID-19.
The current numbers show a significant decline from the peak in May but the number of daily cases in Tokyo is unquestionably on the rise, as the city reported over 1,000 new cases on both July 17 and 18. The city is taking preventative measures to keep the virus from spreading, including not having spectators at the events, limiting open hours for bars and restaurants, and encouraging residents to wear masks.
These are already less than ideal circumstances and with more than 56,000 people entering Japan for the Olympic games, a surge in cases feels inevitable. Several athletes have already tested positive, including an unnamed U.S. gymnast. A large portion of the Japanese population does not even seem to want their country to host the games and has expressed their frustration at tens of thousands of people being allowed into the country during a time when cases are rising.
A major part of why experts are so concerned is that Japan has a much lower vaccination rate than the United States, as only 22 percent of citizens are reportedly fully vaccinated. Two of the biggest reasons for this low rate is that Japan did not begin vaccinating citizens until late February and for several months, the country only administered the Pfizer vaccine, which greatly limited its supply.
Does all of this mean that the Olympics are a sure-fire disaster? Not necessarily, the NFL, MLB, and NBA all faced similar circumstances last year and were able to ultimately finish their seasons. But it is clear that Tokyo is facing some major challenges right as the Olympics are set to begin and if things get worse, the games could be at risk of getting called off.

I am Sam Hingston, and I was born in London, England. At a very early age, my family moved from the UK to Adelaide, Australia. Then, when I was six we moved again and settled in picturesque Arrowtown in the mountains of the South Island of New Zealand. It was there that I first discovered the joy in sculpting. When I was about eight years old, a friend gave me a small piece of soapstone to carve and in doing so sparked my interest in three dimensional design. Although it was a simple carving, I remember very clearly rotating it in my hands and noticing how the lines and shapes changed with my viewpoint. I made adjustments where it didn’t look right and in this way made the whole thing feel balanced from all sides. It gave me such a sense of satisfaction, like I had brought this random collection of shapes and lines into some sort of harmony. I loved it. In one way or another, I have been making things ever since and even after all these years, the experience is still essentially the same.
I now live in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and have done for over 20 years. My studio is in Beaverton, Oregon where I live with my wife Chandra.

What's the story?
Taking inspiration from his former teammate Ashish Nehra, veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan is targeting a comeback into the Indian team. Quashing all doubts about his age and fitness, the 32-year old insisted that he still works hard on his game and has remained fit.
In a candid chat with The Hindu, Irfan said, "He (Nehra) has been a wonderful warrior. He has done very well to make a comeback at this age and shows anyone can do it. I am not that old and I am working hard and my fitness is very good now. I want to improve my fielding but I am not thinking ahead of myself."
The left-arm pacer added that although he would have loved to have had more opportunities when he was injured after a five-wicket haul in his last ODI, he has no regrets. He considers himself lucky to have played for India, and been a part of some of the most incredible moments in cricketing history.
Irfan's previous appearance for India came during the Group 2 clash against South Africa in the 2012 edition of the ICC World T20 in Sri Lanka. In his last ODI match (which was in the same year), the seamer took five wickets and propelled the team to a 20-run victory against Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
The heart of the matter
With 173 matches worth of experience across all three formats of the game, Irfan has scored 2,821 runs at an average of 26.12 with one century and 11 50s. This goes alongside his 301 wickets, at an average of 29.85. Only five left-arm fast bowlers have taken more international wickets than he has.
Extra Cover: 5 best moments of Irfan Pathan's career
Dismissing theories that focusing on his batting led to a decline in his bowling skills, Irfan asserted that he has always been a keen batsman. He pointed out that he used to bat at No. 3 for Baroda during his under-16 days in the Vijay Merchant Trophy.
Irfan is currently captaining Baroda in the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy season. He began the season with a brisk 80 against Madhya Pradesh at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. His next game in the tournament will be against Tripura at the Reliance Stadium in Vadodara next month.
Considering that Hardik Pandya is getting better with each match, the seam-bowling all-rounder slot in the Indian team seems to be filled across all three formats. With age and fitness not entirely on his side, Irfan might find it difficult to get the opportunity to play for his country again.


Everyone lives in interesting places though some I think don’t really believe they do. I sometimes wish I lived on the East Coast where they have all those glorious old buildings with a ton of history attached to them. But I don’t. I live on the West Coast where things are a bit newer. But not far from town there will be old barns and vineyards or ranches. And in town there are new buildings and new buildings built to look old. I looked at these photos this morning and realize that I really need to get out and take some more to really show the different styles and colors we have here. But until then, well this is what I have.

Man United target Paul Pogba joins new Red Devils signing Memphis Depay and Salmon Kalou at Romelu Lukaku's party
Memphis Depay has given Manchester United fans hope that Paul Pogba could be heading to the Premier League after he partied with the Juventus midfielder on Saturday.
The Netherlands international may be one of the Premier League’s newest faces, but Depay already has a good friend in the shape of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.
The former Chelsea forward hosted a party for some football friends last night, which included an invite for his long-term friend Depay, who moved to United in a £25m deal from PSV Eindhoven in April.
And the Belgium striker also invited United target Pogba to the festivities amid reports Chelsea, Manchester City and the Red Devils all want the Juventus playmaker.
Lukaku posted the above selfie and wrote: “🔥🔥🔥@memphisdepay #Pogba”
Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou, who currently plays for Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin, also joined Depay, Lukaku and Pogba for a snap which the Everton forward uploaded to his Instagram page.
Lukaku wrote: “Thanks for showing love at my party boys @[email protected] #Pogba”
Pogba scored eight goals and made three assists in 26 Serie A appearances last season.
Depay, meanwhile, netted 20 times as the Dutch star fired PSV to the Eredivisie title.

text: Recently, artistic works by women have increasingly entered the public view – and with this the obstacles that women artists once had to battle to a much greater degree than they do today. Now, in the twentyfirst century, there is no longer a dearth of role models for female artists of the younger and middle generations. How do they reflect on female creativity today? How do they write themselves into the genealogy through their own artistic work? How do they view the women who have long been ignored by history books, forgotten and even actively banned from the narrative? How do they relate to their ancestors and pioneers, to the women who were active in the visual arts and other artistic fields? The exhibition Auf den Schultern von Riesinnen [On the Shoulders of Giantesses] delves into archives that have long remained unexplored, searching out the legacies of the creative women upon whose shoulders today’s artists stand.

MERSEYSIDE crowned three new national champions during the holidays as the Senior ABA Novice Championships came to a head in Bethnal Green.
Salisbury ABC dominated the finals with three teenagers sporting the famous black vests – James Metcalfe, Joe Tonks and Adam Farrell – while Vaxhall Motors starlet Alex Foulkes also made it to London.
And only Farrell returned without the top prize, after he was edged out in the closing seconds of his Class B middleweight final.
For the Solly it was a real family affair as their two champions come from rich Scouse boxing backgrounds.
Metcalfe is the son of former world champion Shea Neary, while Tonks’ father Dave is a former Solly coach and his grandfather Brian ‘Rocky’ Tonks was Scottish ring legend Ken Buchanan’s first opponent in the pros.
It was young Foulkes who started the ball rolling with his success in the Class A 51kg final.
After defeating Ashi Ali (Batesons) 7-3 in the quarter-finals – his only other outing en route to York Hall – Foulkes then crushed Dean Watson of Broad Street ABC by the same score to top another memorable year for his club.
Then it was over to Metcalfe who, with father Shea animated at ringside, overcame the discomfort of an injured right fist to halt Louis Binns of Southend in the third round.
The welterweight novice, who was defeated in the quarter-finals of this competition last season, wasn’t going to take his foot off the gas this time around and totally overwhelmed his opponent from the opening bell.
Likewise, lightweight Tonks – in the Class B under-20 bouts division – had too much of everything for Marlon Mellish from Times ABC in King’s Cross.
Similarly to Tonks, Mellish had won all his previous bouts in the competition by wide margins and fancied his chances of standing top of the podium.
But Tonks was in fine form and ran away with a 13-9 score.
Unfortunately, Farrell was unable to complete a clean sweep for the West Lancs division – but he came very close.
His 75kg clash with local boy John Ryder from Angel ABC went right to the wire as both lads stood toe to toe and traded shots throughout all four two minute rounds.
With less than a minute to go the scores were level, but it was Ryder who caught the judges’ eye as the seconds ticked away and he was eventually awarded a 19-16 winning score.
l The weigh-in for the opening rounds of the NABC or CYP Championships is tomorrow from 10am at the Solly.
The tournament is for boxers aged between 16 and 19 and look out for home boxers Ged Carroll and Danny Kinsella among others.
Class A (born 92), Class B (born 91) and Class C (89 & 90) championship age groups are all included.

Route Description for Calaveras North Grove Trail
The Calaveras North Grove Trail boasts an enchanting experience, leading eager adventurers along a trail bounded by enormous ancient sequoias and mixed conifers. Compared to other sequoia groves in California, the Calaveras Big Trees State Park is amongst the most secluded and most impressive.
Located high in the Sierra, the weather conditions are diverse and subject to change on a dime, so we encourage visitors to dress in layers. Note the State Park charges an entrance fee in the high season, which typically costs about $10USD. However, in the winter months, the paths within the grove remain open and can be enjoyed by cross-country skis or snowshoes– free of charge.
No matter the season you explore the North Grove, we know you will be impressed. Exhibiting the grandeur and natural beauty of the ancient sequoias, hiking the Calaveras North Grove Trail makes for an incredible experience. Not only will you be shaded by looming coniferous trees, but this trail also offers the Big Trees Creek, the Discovery Tree Stump, wildflowers, and meadows. Lined with numerous interpretive signs depicting the area’s ecology and history, this family-friendly trek boasts an educational excursion—how fun? Immerse yourself in the best of the Stanislaus National Forest, and marvel at the grandeur of the world’s biggest trees.
Located within the Calaveras Big Trees State Park, the Calaveras North Grove Trail follows the North Grove Trail northeast. Wonderment will crash over you as you hike amongst the towering conifers along the north side of Big Trees Creek. Shortly after you depart from the trailhead, you will encounter the Three Graces, a set of gigantic sequoias. Revel in their enormity, then continue northeast, passing the Pioneer Cabin Tree and the Abraham Lincoln Tree. At this point, the route will begin to curve, leading you to the Father of the Forest and Mother of the Forest Trees.
At this point in your journey, you will be diverted southwest over the Big Trees Creek, along the southern side of the waters. As you wander, be sure to take the time to read the interpretive signs. The mesmerizing vistas will dumbfound you as you meander past the Mother and Son and Old Bachelor. Turn right at the next intersection, and you will again intersect with Big Trees Creek. Now hiking northwest, you will finally reach the piece de resistance—the Discovery Stump. Admire the massiveness of the stump and tap dance atop one of the largest known sequoias. From here, the trailhead is in view. Continue trekking north to your adventure’s end.
The Discovery Tree was the first discovered Sierra redwood, noted by Augustus T. Dowd in 1852. Unfortunately, the tree was felled in 1853—taking a total of 3 weeks to down., John Muir wrote an essay titled detailing the devastation of the felled tree. Since it’s discovery, the enormous sequoia has attracted thousands of visitors each and every year. Located in the Calaveras Big Trees State Park, in the northern grove, many adventurers visit the park solely to dance upon the immense stump that measures about 7 m in diameter. Who would’ve thought a stump could be a tourist attraction—not us! But we are eager to test out the dance floor.

text: A combination of glamorous 80s synth work, glistening disco vibes, and groove-laden modern tech house come together in the music of Italian DJ and producer Adapter. A veteran musician with a decade of releases under his belt, he continues to evolve and reveal new ways to revisit nostalgic sounds on the modern dance floor. His sub-thumping synth-heavy beats beautifully bridge the gap between modern house music and the genres that helped form its foundation. His releases on Get Physical, Hot Creations, Snatch!, Relief, and Black Book have blessed dancefloors the world over. A lifelong musician, his background as a percussionist informs his approach just as much as the 70s and 80s records he grew up on. His hometown of Naples is also a key player in the construction of his musical DNA. We caught up with Adapter to chat with him about the moments in his life that informed his unique approach to house music. What kind of music did your parents listen to when you were a child and how did that influence you as an artist? My parents listened to all the good music of the 70s and 80s. I was very fascinated by those sounds. They conditioned me throughout my artistic career. You are a pianist and percussionist. When did you start your musical journey? I started from an early age alone without any professor. I was very tending to the piano but then I met the percussion and I fall in love with the influences of Neapolitan music. Percussion still plays heavily in your music, do you incorporate a lot of what you learned as a percussionist into your creative process? I believe percussion is the soul of a record. I love to include them in all my tracks, they give a magical essence. Also, I see that the reaction of the dancefloor in the club is different when percussion is involved in the tracks. How did you fall in love with dance music? Was there a specific time or place that it happened? Yes! I was 15 years old and I watched DJs play dance music in the clubs. I saw people's reactions were crazy and from that moment, I said I want to play this music too! What do you remember about your first gig? In the beginning, my hands sweat and I had difficulty batting the track cause of the emotion of the moment I was living, then thanks to the support of friends I let myself proceed to do what I know! Naples has a strong culture of music. How did growing up there influence you musically? [It] influenced me a lot. Naples is 100% musical exploration. We can start from the spiritual rites of the past, passing through the tarantellas, and end with the current songs. You've said you don't listen to dance music outside of your work. Is there any particular reason? Certainly, because the influences to produce come from other genres like rock, pop, chill, R&B, ambient, etc... That's the main reason! Your music has big '80s vibes. Where did this fascination with the '80s come from? The music of the 80s influenced my whole life. My mentor is Michael Jackson. All my research on 80s music started from him. I love that genre is the most beautiful ever created! What excites you about the future of dance music? Dance music will always change. I'm fascinated by the new experimentation, continuous use of new sounds and vocals. I think we will reach increasingly difficult levels but really interesting at the same time!

In truth, a burger can take anywhere from just a couple minutes to 10 or even 15 minutes to fully cook through. It depends on three main variables: how hot the grill or pan is, how thick the burger is, and whether you want it rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, or well done.
How long are you supposed to cook a burger?
Deciding how long to grill your beef hamburgers depends on your personal preference.
- Medium-rare: Cook patty on one side for three minutes. …
- Medium: Cook patty on one side for three minutes. …
- Medium well: Cook patty on one side for three minutes. …
- Well done: Cook patty on one side for three minutes.
How do you know if a burger is fully cooked?
Go in at an angle in the middle of the cut, wait for a second, and then touch the tester to your wrist. If it’s cold, the meat is raw. If it’s warm—close to your body temperature—then the meat is medium rare. If it’s hot, it’s well done.
How long does it take to cook burgers in frying pan?
- Divide the ground beef. …
- Shape the patties. …
- Warm the pan. …
- Toast the buns. …
- Increase the heat to medium-high.
- Cook the burgers for 3 to 5 minutes. …
- Flip the burgers and cook another 3 to 5 minutes. …
- To make cheeseburgers.
29 янв. 2020 г.
How long should you cook a burger on each side on the stove?
Cook times for cooking burgers in a skillet (that are about 1 inch thick and cooked on medium high heat) are as follows:
- Medium Rare (red in the middle): 6 minutes total (3 minutes on each side)
- Medium (pink in the middle): 7-8 minutes total.
- Medium Well (smidge of pink in the middle): 9 minutes total.
What temp is a burger medium rare?
To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer through the side of a burger into the center. The internal temperature should be about 145°F for medium-rare or, if using commercial ground beef, cook it to at least medium, 160°F.
Is it OK for burgers to be pink in the middle?
Answer: Yes, a cooked burger that’s pink on the inside can be safe to eat — but only if the meat’s internal temperature has reached 160°F throughout. As the U.S. Department of Agriculture points out, it’s not at all unusual for hamburgers to remain pink inside after they’ve been safely cooked.
Should you cover hamburgers when frying?
Remove the pan from the heat and add a slice of cheese to each burger. Cover the pan with a lid to let the cheese melt while you prepare the buns. Editor Tip: American, cheddar, pepper jack and Swiss melt beautifully on burgers.
What happens if you eat an undercooked burger?
Raw and undercooked meat may carry harmful bacteria including AMR bacteria. When meat is minced, harmful bacteria from the surface of the raw meat are mixed throughout the whole piece. Thorough cooking of meat including burger patties and steaks can reduce the risks of food poisoning and acquiring bacteria with AMR.
Is it better to cook burgers in the oven or on the stove?
Burgers are typically made by shaping equal portions of ground beef into patties. … There isn’t just one “best way” to cook burgers inside. While cooking the burgers in a skillet is quick and convenient, using the oven offers the option of reducing the amount of fat the meat releases during cooking.
What is the best way to cook burgers?
To cook the burgers, preheat a large griddle or frying pan for 4 minutes on a high heat, then turn the heat down to medium. Place the burgers on the griddle or into the pan, then use a spatula to lightly press them down, making sure the burger is in full contact with the pan.
How do I cook a burger on the stove without smoking it?
Cover the pan with a lid. Covering the pan serves several purposes. It holds in steam, which gently cooks the burgers, and it prevents splattering outside the pan. Most importantly, though, condensation forms on the underside of the lid and drops back down into the pan, keeping it moist and smoke free.
What is the secret to juicy hamburgers?
Bobby Flay shares his secrets to making the ultimate burger
- Use 80/20 ground chuck. …
- Make a thumbprint in the middle of the patty. …
- Season with salt and pepper ONLY. …
- Use canola oil, cast iron and high heat. …
- Flip once. …
- Get the temperature just right. …
- Don’t be afraid to mix cheeses. …
- Add water to melt the cheese.
What temperature are burgers done?
The interior of a raw hamburger usually does contain bacteria, and is safest if cooked well done.” Because E. coli is killed at 155 degrees Fahrenheit, the USDA sets the minimum safe temperature for ground beef at 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
What temp do you cook burgers?
Grill Temperature for Burgers
Generally, burgers should be cooked on Medium-High (approximately 375 degrees) to High (400 degrees). Most gas grills have a built in thermometer to monitor the heat but you can buy a grill thermometer for charcoal grills too.

The Prince Effect Spotlight on the Opioid Epidemic
The following are representative cases from the CHPSO database:
A patient requested a dose of an opioid. The nurse refused as
she believed it was unnecessary. The patient became irate with
the nurse and physically aggressive towards her. A code gray was
A patient was brought into the ED unconscious. The patient’s
toxicology screen was positive for opioids. According the
patient’s medical history, the patient’s medication list included
morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, lorazepam and alprazolam.
Narcan was used to reverse the effects of the opioids and the
patient recovered consciousness.
A patient developed an altered level of consciousness, became
dizzy and nauseous. Earlier, the patient had received oxycodone,
hydromorphone, and hydrocodone. The clinical team switched to
non-opioid analgesics and the patient’s condition improved.
Two months ago, the singer Prince succumbed to an overdose of the
painkiller fentanyl at the young age of 57. America’s addiction
to prescription drugs, especially opioids, is not new and
Prince’s death has certainly raised awareness to the worldwide
epidemic. In 2011, 52 million Americans over the age of 12 had
used prescription drugs non-medically in their lifetime. That’s
the populations of California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington
combined. According to the CDC, approximately 46 people die from
a painkiller overdose in the US every day, or one death every 30
minutes or so. In 2012, health care providers wrote 259 million
painkiller prescriptions. That’s equivalent to every adult living
in the US having their personal bottle of painkillers.
The balance clinical providers face is difficult. On one hand,
they may need to use prescription medications to relieve pain and
minimize suffering. On the other hand, providers are challenged
to reduce overuse of opioids and recognize the adverse effects,
including mortality. Opioid painkillers have become so widely
available and accepted in our society, and the movement toward
safe prescribing and standard treatment in hospitals is taking
The Joint Commission produced a Sentinel Alert in 2012 on
opioid-related drug events. The alert underscored the need to
monitor patients for the potential of opioid-induced respiratory
depression. Their database indicated 47 percent wrong dose
medication errors of opioid-related events of which 29
percent were improper monitoring. These patients are at
higher risk with higher doses, sleep apnea, morbid obesity, young
age, elderly, and co-dependent on central nervous system and
respiratory depressants. Ways in which to assess and manage pain
among patients include:
Screen patients for respiratory depression risk factors
Assess the patient’s previous history of drug use
Conduct a full body skin assessment of patients prior to
administering a new opioid. This helps to rule out whether the
patient has a fentanyl patch, implanted drug delivery system, or
Use an individualized multimodal treatment plan to manage
pain, perhaps starting with a non-narcotic.
Take precautions with patients who are new to opioids.
Consult with your pharmacy when converting from one opioid to
another or changing the route of administration.
CHPSO maintains a safety report database containing events, near
misses, and unsafe conditions contributed by its member
organizations. We currently have about 950,000 event reports. In
the database, opioids were mentioned in 62,157 medication event
reports out of a total of 307,000 medication-specific events, or
about 20 percent. The next most commonly mentioned drug category
was benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepine hypnotics at 23,508
reports, about 7.5 percent. This metric highlights how frequently
specific drug classes are mentioned in medication event reports.
A drug may be named in the event because it was:
central to the event (e.g., opioid-induced respiratory
a rescue medication (e.g., corticosteroids for an allergic
otherwise associated with the patient, such as being in a
medication list that was included in the report.
Given the gap between event reports mentioning opioids and
benzodiazepines, there is an alarming trend of prescription
opioid-related events. We must all recognize the significance of
overuse on prescription and non-prescription opioids, as well as
all other prescribed medications. Opioids certainly come with
risks, however, they are also useful in relieving patient pain.
The balance to achieve pain relief and reducing potential adverse
events for patients is something for which we can all strive.

Japanese photographer Tadashi Onishi‘s project Lost in Shinjuku has been selected as the winner of the TPD Book Award 2017 call.
The project, documenting with a magnificent black and white the sense of emptiness in the contemporary Tokyo life, has been published by dotART book and has been presented on Saturday, October 28 at Trieste Photo Days by Maurizio Galimberti, who has personally rewarded Onishi, host to the festival.
Tadashi Onishi was born in 1973 Tokyo, Japan. Photographing the cityscape and street life combined with social nature to find common ground between the street and documentary photography in Tokyo.
About the project, Maurizio Galimberti write
A wonderful project, full of anguish and anxiety.
Tadashi Onishi’s diptych images lead to dialogue with great scriptures with small and intimate scripts, returning to the reader the hardness of everyday life.
Tadashi reveals himself a great photographer, the son of Eikoh Hosoe’s lesson and the style that emerged, but unlike Hosoe, Onishi’s photos are overwhelmed by the malaise of the present life.
However, we can recognize in his pictures dreamlike and positive ideas, such as rain, a flower emerging from the asphalt, a liberating bird flight.
This project excited me a lot, thanks Tadashi!

We have been staying at beautiful villas for many years and we can honestly say, without any exaggeration, that staying at Villa Paradise has been the most wonderful experience of all, so much so that we are already booking to return next year (our third visit in as many years) … Villa Paradise really does deliver what we consider to be the ultimate lifestyle experience providing everything one could ever dream of for a perfect holiday … from the beautiful furniture and luxury accommodation to the absolutely stunning location with those wonderful privileged views over the Mediterranean …thank you to owners David & Lorraine for making Villa Paradise such a special and joyful experience!

We have recently returned from a wonderful two weeks at Villa Paradise. David and Lorraine (the owners), were there to greet us with lots of helpful information for our stay, and to show us around. If we needed anything during our stay they were extremely quick to respond. The description of the villa and its facilities is completely accurate, always one of my concerns! The property is beautifully maintained, clean and has everything you could possibly need. The area is quiet and peaceful, the views are wonderful, and the villa is extremely private. Moraira is about a 10 minute drive away with excellent supermarkets, bakers, tapas bars and restaurants. The terrace area has lots of space, a great gas BBQ and of course the stunning view. An added bonus is the facility to have the pool heated. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked to return for two weeks in September.
Stunning property with stunning views!
By Claire M on 13-Oct-2015
This was our 2nd visit this year to this property. We visited earlier in May with family members and had a wonderful time. The property was everything it said it would be. The villa was spotlessly clean upon arrival and the owners David & Lorraine were there to greet us and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. They were the perfect hosts. We spent most days around the villa enjoying the stunning views and the children especially enjoyed the heated pool. The barbecue facilities were excellent along with an endless choice of restaurants to choose from. Our holiday was so relaxing my husband and I returned for a week at the end of September. Once again David & Lorraine went out of their way to welcome us and made our stay again a memorable one. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to holiday in the Moraira region.
Villa Paradise - a truly memorable holiday!
By J Newcombe on 09-Jun-2014
We have been renting villas for our family holidays for many years and from the moment we arrived at Villa Paradise we knew this holiday was going to be truly exceptional. We were greeted by the owners, David & Lorraine, who gave us a tour around the amazing villa and gardens … nothing was too much trouble and we knew instantly with the amount of care and attention that the owners put into the villa that this was going to be a holiday to create special memories, and that absolutely proved to be the case. The views are simply stunning and the villa exceptional, beautifully maintained, and superbly equipped. The large private pool was centre stage for everyone and a dream experience to be in the pool whilst looking out to the Mediterranean Sea. We loved the whole experience so much that we have already re-booked for next year. We would recommend Villa Paradise and its beautiful location to anyone wanting a truly wonderful holiday experience full of happy memories. Thank you again David & Lorraine, your amazing villa and location made this holiday one of the very best we have ever experienced in all our years of renting – already looking forward to our return visit next year!
Villa Paradise - how apt!
By Colette E. on 11-Oct-2013
Having had such a wonderful holiday in a truly idyllic villa we are only too pleased to leave feedback. We arrived early hours of Sunday morning and were warmly greeted by David & Lorraine who were very relaxed, informative and made us feel at ease straight away. The whole booking process was very professional and communication throughout the process was excellent too, the directions were great and the location of the villa is wonderful. We all awoke to the most stunning views of the coast having had a great sleep in the comfy beds. The pictures on the website are very good but the reality is far better as this is a truly wonderful, well equipped villa, furnished to a high standard with excellent facilities. The kitchen is fab., the lounge area very comfortable, the bedrooms are just lovely, the Bose TV system (which is huge) has lots of channels, the Wi-Fi connection was great, the pool was lovely and the outside hot & cold shower is a great addition! The large outside patio area is amazing, the outdoor furniture is wonderful and great for chilling out with a book and glass of sangria! We are well-travelled and found Villa Paradise to be our favourite villa to date. The villa manager was very friendly and helpful - thank you Danny! The only downside of this holiday is that 2 weeks were not long enough as this is a real home from home and you relax in style from day one. We will definitely book again and have no hesitation in highly recommending this villa. Regards Colette & Mark

BMC Remedy Migrator executes migrations in two different modes: Migration mode and Scripting mode. BMC Remedy Migrator defaults to the last mode used.
You can also use either Migration or Scripting mode to perform a copy/prefix migration on the same server (see Copy-Prefix migrations).
Depending on how many threads you allocate in the Migration option, you can perform as many migrations simultaneously as there are threads. If BMC Remedy Migrator uses up its allocation of threads, migrations are queued until a thread becomes available. For more information about threads, see Using multiple-threads for multiple migration.
In Migration mode, migrations run immediately.
In Scripting mode, you can create migration scripts that can be saved and run manually at your convenience, or scheduled to run at a specific date and time.
You can use Scripting mode to migrate objects from one server to multiple servers. You can create reusable sets of multiple server migrations and put them in a holding position. This keeps you from having to run each migration separately, one after the other. You can schedule them to run on a specific day and time, or you can open and run them whenever they are needed.
For additional information about migration scripts and scheduling migration scripts, see Creating and saving migration scripts and Scheduling scripted migrations.
When using only one server, you cannot migrate identically named objects to the same server. You must change the prefix before a migration can begin. In a Copy/Prefix migration, you migrate objects to the same server, and then change the object's prefix in the Prefix dialog box. See, Migrating objects to the same server.
The Copy/Prefix migration runs in either migration or scripting mode. It is useful for doing simple development or testing of workflow on the same server. It also keeps all the relationships between forms and related workflow separate.


In order to create a valuable IT Asset Management plan, it’s important to know why IT Asset Management exists in the first place. IT Asset Management is a set of business practices that join together the physical, technological, financial, contractual, and inventory functions in the business process to support the Lifecycle management to better the IT environment and make it more strategic, cost effective, simpler, and efficient.
Simply put, IT Asset Management manages the building blocks of an organization’s IT infrastructure. As IT systems evolve, many organizations loose face with the expected knowledge they should have with their own IT asset infrastructure. Other businesses have limited visibility of their planned and actual asset inventory.
IT Asset Management can help an organization define and control its IT infrastructure by maintaining data about the historical and current state of all its assets. Therefor you can curate better IT Asset Management plans, and optimize your IT infrastructure better. Ways to optimize your IT infrastructure include: Making sure your organization are compliant with its software licenses and to prepare your organization for audits and to reduce legal, as well as security risks. Streamlined asset management plans can also bring down IT costs.
A valuable IT Asset Management plan will include:
To create a valuable IT Asset Management plan, you should always map your assets. Having an asset database inventory with no bird’s eye view of what components the asset is connected to and what services that asset would affect in case of failure would be pointless. Building a relationship map using different relationship types and knowing who uses your assets will give you a good overview of your IT infrastructure setup. Once you create your dependencies across your assets, you can start building your CMDB. A business service can be mapped to other entities using relationships such as “depends on,” “connected to,” “runs on,” “impacts other services” and “receive data from.”
Using the right IT Asset Management tool for your business
The right IT Asset Management tool should be able to provide for you the dashboard you need in order to monitor the lifecycle of an asset from procurement to its retirement. The right IT asset Management tool will function with your other service management tools, such as purchase management, vendor management, contract management, and software licensing. This tie in of IT Asset Management and other service management tools should ensure effortless functionality.
Establish a central asset repository
Using a variety of scan and discovery operating system techniques, you will have to build your inventory by documenting all of your IT hardware and software components.
Continuously manage and monitor the lifecycles of your assets
Updated information of your lifecycle assets lets you stay current. It also gives you the ability to have control over your assets and makes effective purchase decisions.
Extend Asset management to ITIL Processes
Integrating your IT Asset Management with other ITIL processes to help IT personal make informed decisions.
Automate Alerts and notifications
It’s important to communicate proactively. It’s important to notify stakeholders about changes in your asset infrastructure via automatic alerts and notifications.
Share and report your Asset Data
Showing detailed asset-related reports will frequently give the decision makers a regularly updated snapshot of your IT infrastructure. Quantify and notify your Asset Data reports.
Be safe, every day is an IT Audit day
Get ready to be audited, make sure you’re always prepared for an IT audit. Preparing for IT audits makes sure that your IT infrastructure is clean and will track your IT expenditures for better decision making.
Add your non-IT assets to you IT Asset Management plan
After setting up your central repository for tracking and maintaining all your IT assets, it would be best to add your non-IT assets, such as generators, air conditioning units, refrigerators, furniture’s etc. It will help your organizations understand its financial spending better so they can revise your budget.
These steps will help you build a better IT Asset Management plan. Now, after implementing your IT Asset Management plan, it’s important to visualize, analyze, monitor, and improve on your IT Asset Management plan from here on in and for the future of your IT asset management plan.
