Calcium is one of the most essential and important minerals in our body.
If we do not consume enough calcium in our diet, our body takes the necessary calcium from our bones to use for other essential functions. This can result in brittle or porous bones, broken bones, low bone density and weakness – especially in later life.
To ensure we maintain excellent bone health, it is essential we receive sufficient quantities of calcium every day. It is even more important to ensure that the body can utilise and absorb the calcium it is given. Natural food complexed calcium may be the most suitable form of calcium for long-term use. Usually good sources of minerals are obtained from natural plant and vegetable foods however calcium content is high in only a select number of foods.
Lifestream Natural Calcium is produced from a certified organic sea vegetable called Lithothamnium calcareum and demonstrates advanced bioavailability1. Lifestream Natural Calcium contains 32-34% elemental calcium and other important co-factor minerals including boron, magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine and sulphur.

How do you separate frozen meat without thawing it?
6 Answers. Run them under cold water, not hot (you don’t want to start cooking them). Just hold the frozen mass under the water such that one of them separates, then the other. It’s worth mentioning that a lot of meat processing companies actually do a lot of butchery work on frozen meat.
Is it OK to refreeze meat?
From a safety point of view, it is fine to refreeze defrosted meat or chicken or any frozen food as long as it was defrosted in a fridge running at 5°C or below. Some quality may be lost by defrosting then refreezing foods as the cells break down a little and the food can become slightly watery.
How do you cut a frozen hamburger?
While you are using a sharp knife, hopefully, a serrated knife, hold the frozen beef firmly on a cutting board and saw back and forth slowly. Think of it as a slow and steady cutting process. This approach also works best if you are cutting off a piece that is only one to two inches thick.
Can you cut raw meat with a meat slicer?
Raw Meat Slicer So while your meat slicer can be used for slicing raw meat, however you need to make sure no cross contamination occurs with cooked foods in the area. In addition, you want to make sure the raw meat is still firm, not a floppy mess as that makes it more difficult to slice nice and even slices.

How long can frozen meat last?
According to the FDA , you can keep cuts, like roasts, frozen for anywhere from 4 to 12 months and steaks for 6 to 12 months. Ground beef should be frozen for no more than three to four months. Once cooked, you can also safely freeze those beefy leftovers.
How do you break a frozen hot dog?
The quickest way to defrost your hot dogs is to heat them in the microwave on the defrost setting. However, it’s safer to cover the hot dogs in cool water, which should defrost them within an hour. If you have time, thaw your hot dogs in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours for the safest option.
How do you separate frozen chicken without thawing it?
Run lukewarm water over the seam, while pulling the chicken apart. The idea is that you don’t need to thaw the chicken, you just need to melt the ice between each breast that’s “gluing” them together. That ice will melt faster than the chicken will thaw, as long as the warm water can come in contact with that ice.

“I have been covering the Kashmir Valley for 25 years. I could not believe it when mothers told me that their children were picked up and never returned. While covering conflict areas of the country, I have met hundreds of mothers whose children were picked up by RAW, the IB and the State Police and never returned home,” said journalist Humra Quraishi while speaking at the launch of an anthology, “Of mothers and others: Stories, essays, poems”, at India International Centre here on Tuesday.
Ms. Quraishi said as a journalist she could only write about such issues but was disappointed that “nothing happens after that”.
Actor Nandita Das, who came accompanied by her two-year-old son Vihaan, said she could not contribute to the book because she could not do multi-tasking at that time.
“I had even named our production company Chotti. It was a collective guilt that people by and large are not in a favour of having a girl child. So I wanted to raise the girl child in a responsible way. But now that I have a boy, I am not sure how I would teach him things like equality.”
A little over a year ago, writer Jaishree Misra pledged to write a book for NGO Save the Children. She teamed up with Zubaan to produce this anthology which seeks to draw the middle class people to the larger challenge that millions of marginalised women face.
Pointing out that a large number of children were dying because of preventable diseases like pneumonia and diarrhoea, Save the Children CEO Thomas Chandy said India loses 16.5 lakh children annually. “Birjunisa, a mother in Rajasthan, told me how she lost her two-year-old daughter Tamanna because she could not take her to the doctor because the family had no money.”
Moderator Anita Roy, who has also contributed for the book, said the book offered an alternative view to the cosy image of motherhood that people often assume. “The book encompasses enormous range. It goes far beyond stereotypes like motherhood was about cosiness. It was also about loss of grief and what it means to be human.”
The anthology has been written against the background of the fact that the country has the highest rate of child malnutrition among all middle-income countries. Writers who were present at the function included Urvashi Butalia, Bulbul Sharma, Shalini Sinha and Jai Arjun Singh.
Veteran Bollywood actor Shabana Azmi, who has been the champion of the issue, has penned a poignant foreword.

July the fourth is just around the corner, and if you are looking for a simple party favor idea for guests then you will love how easy these DIY 4th of July party favors are to put together.
These mason jar 4th of July party favors were so easy to make that I hesitate to even call it a craft. It was also an inexpensive project since I already had small mason and jelly jars as well as most of the supplies on hand.
The only things purchased for my DIY 4th of July party favors were the red and blue paper twine (purchased at Michaels) and the red, white, and blue M&Ms. I also purchased an American flag at Michael’s for $1 but then found them 3 for $1 the next day at Dollar Tree.
DIY 4th of July Party Favors Supply List
Mason jars in assorted sizes with lids and rings (for this project I used a small jelly jar and wide mouth 1/2 pint jar).
Red & blue paper twine (available at Michaels and other craft stores)
Blue fabric (or you could use any fabric with a patriotic print that coordinates with your washi tape)
Holiday candy (I used regular and peanut red, white, and blue M&Ms).
When it comes to quick and easy crafts, I just love using washi tape. You can find washi tape in a variety of patterns for all sorts of occasions. It’s also easy to work with and reposition as needed.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t have any 4th of July washi tape on hand but the red and white polka dot worked just fine, especially since I was able to incorporate all the colors for Independence day into the project.
DIY 4th of July Party Favors Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Wash and dry mason jars, lids, and rings (I washed mine in hot, soapy water and allowed them to air-dry overnight).
2 Wrap washi tape around the jar and around the ring. Set aside.
3. Using pinking sheers, cut the fabric in circles. You will want the fabric to hang over the jar so be sure to make the circle larger than the mason jar lid. I used bowls that were approximately 2″ in diameter wider than my lids and traced and used them to use as a template.
4. Fill jars with candy and cover with lid.
5. Center fabric over the lid then screw the ring over the fabric.
6. Tie the paper twine around the rim.
So there you have quick and easy 4th of July party favors to hand out to your guests!
Optional 4th of July Centerpiece
This centerpiece was so easy that it really doesn’t need instructions. I just added my leftover blue fabric to the jar, topped it with a star-cut-out mason jar lid and washi tape-wrapped rim then inserted the flag. The cut-out pattern in the lid is convenient because it holds the flag in place. I actually ran out of rings so I just wrapped the washi tape around the rim. However, using a ring will help keep the flag in place in case it gets bumped.
If using chocolates then you will want to keep the party favors indoors so they don’t melt. Just put them on a pretty tray and hand them out with dessert or as your guests are leaving. If you are having your picnic elsewhere then keep them in an insulated cooler.
I chose 1/2 pint jars and jelly jars but if you have a lot of party favors to make then you can use smaller jars. Just make sure they are food safe. Baby food jars would work, but you will have to cover the entire lid with fabric or just opt to leave it off since you won’t have a two-piece lid and ring.
These fun party favors are great for all Patriotic holidays including Memorial Day and Labor Day. You can also change the colors and choose different washi tape designs for other holidays and special occasions as well.

Known for its historic fighting and victorious, unprecedented battles for freedom, Haiti today is helpless and at the mercy of Mother Nature as she continues to pummel the country with a third natural disaster, acts Haitian American Lawyers Association President Daphnee Pierre Camilien called “tragic.”
Formerly a French colony, Haiti is acclaimed for being the country to overthrow slavery. The country is now dependent on help from the international community.
“Haiti is the first country to win freedom from slavery and will continue to persevere in their fight against earthquakes and natural disasters,” said Camilien. “Haiti is often depicted negatively instead of with strength.”
Haiti has a history of earthquakes and natural disasters yet despite the catastrophes, Haitians have survived. But the strength of Haitians is once again being tested.
As if last Saturday’s (August 14) 7.2 earthquake weren’t enough for Haiti, that devastation was followed by more than 10 inches of rain. And, according to Camilien, Haitians had not yet recovered from the 7.0 earthquake of January 12, 2010.
Reverend Jesse Jackson said what is needed is to “meet their humanitarian needs. They do need water.”
He said France must become a part of this heavy discussion. Haiti is a French-speaking, largely Catholic nation and Haiti invested much in America and France.
Jackson said both the U.S. and France “should stand strong with the Haitians, including the whole world. They have reason to be part of Haiti.”
Referring to the 2010 earthquake when 250,000 died and 300,000 were injured, Camilien said, “Some of the concerns about that earthquake were a lot of money was donated to organizations; however, it did not help Haiti. We don’t know what happened to the money. What we do know was that it did not go into helping infrastructure or to re-build Haiti.
“People are concerned and want to help. We are taking donations and are making sure that when donations come in it will go to local and national organizations that directly help Haiti and those in Haiti. People are working,” including her organization, the Haitian American Lawyers Association.
And while Camilien said thousands have lost their homes, what Haitians need right now is water. “We’ll be able to distribute water on a large scale to Haitians. Money to buy water is great, too. They need water. All the other stuff, clothes, food are needed, but water is an immediate need,” she said.
“Our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in Haiti,” Camilien told the Chicago Crusader. “The current conditions are very horrible. Our prayers go out to them. We are trying to do our best to see how we can help them.”
“Thousands of people have died and each day the numbers continue to go up,” she said. The earthquakes and Tropical Storm Grace are just two acts of Mother Nature but then there was the third tragedy. Haitians, she said, have yet to get over the July 7 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, and the political fallout that has ensued.
“This is very devastating. People need help. They need water,” Camilien said. “This is not as populous as Port-au-Prince, but it’s still affecting a lot of people.” She said at least 2,000 people have died and that the area lacks proper hospital infrastructure.
“What is needed immediately is water,” attorney Camilien said. Water donations can be sent to Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti, 2010 Dewey, 3rd Floor, Evanston, Illinois, 60201.
Attorney Camilien gave the following Haitian organizations that are only accepting financial donations for Haiti.

Posthumous collections always have precarious leanings. Is Jeff Buckley rolling in his grave after hearing the pasted together (though beautiful) works in progress of Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk? Does Tupac Shakur mind that his Mom’s cashing in on the grief of a dedicated fan base? Every once in a while, though, you can’t help but imagine an artist’s angel smiling down upon a respectful collection, one that offers the peace of completion, a last gift she couldn’t deliver in person because of tragic circumstance.
In this duteous vein, Rounder has released songs culled from Laura Nyro’s final recording sessions in 1994 and 1995, creating Angel In The Dark, a stunning, steady trickle of 16 more gorgeous soul-folk spirituals.
The material stems from recording sessions that took place a few years before Nyro’s death from cancer in 1997. The chanteuse had partnered with poet Eileen Silver-Lillywhite to form the Luna Mist record label after leaving Columbia. The two were to launch the label with three recordings: one of originals, an homage album with covers of the songs she grew up singing in the subway with street-corner harmony groups, and a live album capturing just Nyro with a grand piano and the women of her Harmony Group. Nyro had given the master tapes to Silver-Lillywhite and asked her to keep them safe until she found a company to release them. She wanted the music released “no matter what happens.” Silver-Lillywhite became executive producer of Angel In The Dark.
The album includes eight originals and eight covers. The originals swerve and sway with her characteristic, off-the-beaten-track, jazz-inspired chord structures and progressions. And the covers (“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” “He Was Too Good To Me,” “Ooh Baby, Baby” included) sparkle with intimate charisma and a tongue-in-cheek wink to the artists who capitalized on covering her songs — the Fifth Dimension with “Wedding Bell Blues” and Blood, Sweat and Tears with “And When I Die.”
Rounder will release the live album, a recording of her last New York City concert at the Bottom Line, at a later date.
Throughout Nyro’s career, she remained true to artistic freedom and ingenuity, stretching beyond genre limitations, exploring the fringe of pop and inspiring countless singer-songwriters to come. To fans, she was a soul-warming voice of strength and a mysterious recluse, healing broken hearts and offering hope to the disheartened. The songs captured on Angel In The Dark follow this shining manifesto. And it doesn’t get any more legit than that.

Integrated Technology Corporation has been serving the needs of our customers for more than 35 years.
We provide solutions for metrology and testing equipment in many areas:
Test, analysis, and repair of IC probe cards
Innovative metrology and inspection solutions
Solutions for dynamic testing of power semiconductors
Whats New at ITC
ITC is pleased to announce that it has strengthened its product coverage of probe card analyzers and power semiconductor test systems by once again teaming up with JP Kummer as its distributor for Europe.
With offices in Germany, France and the UK, JP Kummer brings extensive sales and service support focused on bringing you quality and timely customer care.
Dynamic Production Tests
ITC has added dynamic production testing capability to the ITC75100 test system. The system was already capable of testing the UIL capability and reporting the Rdson value of power semiconductors.
This new development has added several more tests to the system.
High Current & High Voltage UIL Test Solutions
The rapid innovations and developments within the semiconductor industry in general have also been very apparent within the power device sector of the industry. The move to Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices has resulted in higher breakdown voltages for discrete devices which in turn requires the UIL test solution to have a higher voltage capability.
ITC, as the world leader in UIL test solutions, has developed 4000V/200A UIL test systems on both its 55 and 75 series testers. The ITC55100C-2HVN and the ITC75100-2HVN are both N-channel only systems with the 4000V/200A capability.
ITC55100C Crowbar (Patent Pending)
This option for the ITC55100C UIL tester provides a parallel energy path that in the event of an avalanche failure takes the energy away from the device under test. In a wafer probe application it provides protection for the probe card and the device under test, stops debris scatter across the wafer and prevents the avalanche failure from impacting adjacent die.

Facebook said last week that 27 partners had signed on for its Libra cryptocurrency project. But some of those partners may be less enthusiastic than others.
One of the biggest selling points of Facebook’s ambitious plans for its new cryptocurrency, Libra, was that the social media company had 27 partners, including prominent outfits like Visa, Mastercard and Uber, helping out on the project.
But some of those partners are approaching Libra warily. They signed nonbinding agreements to join the effort partly because they knew they weren’t obliged to use or promote the digital token and could easily back out if they didn’t like where it was going, said executives at seven of those companies, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations.
The doubts among Facebook’s partners add to a growing list of challenges for Libra, a new digital token that Facebook executives hope will one day become the foundation for a new kind of online financial industry.
Facebook unveiled plans for a new cryptocurrency last week and signalled its hope that Libra will one day trade on a global scale much like the U.S. dollar.
Libra will launch as soon as next year and be what’s known as a stablecoin, which is a digital currency that is supported by established government-backed currencies and securities.
The goal is to avoid massive fluctuations in value [that has plagued Bitcoin] so that Libra can be used for everyday transactions in a way that more volatile crypotcurrencies, like Bitcoin, haven’t been.
Scale Up Challenges
Existing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum were not properly engineered to scale up to the point of being an accepted everyday medium of exchange.
Their unanchored price was susceptible to huge and unpredictable swings, making it tough for merchants to accept as payment.
And cryptocurrencies miss out on much of their potential beyond speculation unless there are enough places that will take them instead of dollars, pounds or euros, and the experience of buying and spending cryptocurrencies is as easy enough as hard currency for the mainstream audience.
However, with Facebook’s daily active user base amounting to some 20% of world’s population and its relationship with 7 million advertisers and 90 million small businesses it is well-poised to tackle the problem of making Libra widely used and accepted.
Libra is the culmination of a year-long effort to devise an easy way for Facebook users to send and receive money through its messaging services.
Facebook won’t fully control Libra, but instead get just a single vote in its governance like other founding members of the Libra Association, including Visa, Uber and Andreessen Horowitz, which have invested at least $10 million each into the project’s operations
Facebook is launching a subsidiary company also called Calibra that handles its crypto dealings and protects users’ privacy by never mingling your Libra payments with your Facebook data so it can’t be used for ad targeting
So it would seem that some companies are hesitant to associate themselves too closely with the Libra project because of Facebook’s issues with regulators around the world. It is no surprise to many in the tech industry as the company has a somewhat shaky track record on privacy and how it treats corporate partners, and when you add in the uncertain legality of cryptocurrencies, it could easily turn sour.
European regulators have also asked for more details about the project.
Facebook is now the 4th most valuable brand in the world with a value of $95bn and has 2.4bn active monthly users, a total user base of 26.3% of the global population, accounts for some 22% of total time spent on the internet and accounts for ID and Login credentials for over 60% of social logins.
With all the power Facebook has it is hard not to see how it wouldn’t or couldnt use its power for future harms so the question then becomes, is Facebook replacing currency, cash, and legal tender a recipe for disaster?

Johnson fired as WC hoops coach
Published 12:00 pm Wednesday, March 2, 2011
Warren Central is looking for a new boys’ basketball coach after another losing season.
On Tuesday, Vikings coach Jesse Johnson was told by Vicksburg Warren School District superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford that his coaching contract with the school district would not be renewed.
“We exercised our right to end his at-will contract as a coach, but he will still have a teaching job with us,” Swinford said. “We will absolutely extend his contract as a teacher.”
Email newsletter signup
Johnson has been Warren Central’s basketball coach since 2003, when he replaced Preston Wilson. Warren Central has struggled in recent seasons, winning just four games in the 2009-10 season.
The Vikings appeared to be turning things around this season with a 6-3 start. They were 8-8 after the holidays, but lost eight of nine games to finish with a 9-16 record, their third straight losing season.
Injuries and academic suspensions hurt the Vikings over the final month of the season.
Swinford said the Vikings head basketball coaching position will be advertised statewide by the end of today.
“My staff is working on it and I should approve the ad by today,” Swinford said. “I’m anxious to see the interest there is for the position.”
Swinford gave an insight to what she is looking for in a new coach for the Vikings.
“The way I do it, is I hold my principals accountable,” Swinford said. “Being an academic, I want the new coach to be instructionally sound. But at the same time, I strongly support our athletic programs. I would want to see a good record of sportsmanship. Some one who holds good practices, but does not abuse his power. ”
Warren Central principal Rodney G. Smith would not comment on Johnson’s termination, but said the school will put together a search committee to review the applications for the new boys’ basketball coach.
“We will put a committee together like we did for the football vacancy and put it on the MHSAA (Mississippi High School Activities Association) website,” Smith said. “What we’re looking for is someone who fits with the school.”


A man in his 20’s has died following a collision between a tractor and a car at Kilpipe close to Annacurra.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, his body was taken to Loughlinstown hospital. A 40 year old man who was driving the tractor was treat for injuries at Naas General hospital.
The accident happened just before 10am this morning.
The Aughrim/ Tinahely Rd (R747) between Annacurra and Kilpipe reopened at 7pm following a Garda technical examination.

There are concerns that the Government's 2020 deadline for the rollout of high speed broadband across rural Ireland will not be met.
It comes as SSE yesterday became the latest company to withdraw from the bidding process for delivering the National Broadband Plan.
The e-net consortium says the bid is very much on track and it's just weeks away from submitting its final tender.
However, Roscommon-Galway Independent TD Michael Fitzmaurice asks who will make up the €100 million euro deficit left by SSE's withdrawal from the e-net consortium.
If a new investor is required, that will take time, and could further delay the rollout of broadband, which is essential for rural areas, according to Deputy Fitzmaurice.
Minister of State Séan Kyne insists the Government is still committed to the National Broadband Plan, and it's full steam ahead.
He said tenders from the remaining consortium are expected in the coming weeks, and the Government hopes to award the contract soon after that.
But speaking with Midwest Radio, Deputy Fitzmaurice says this latest development raises a number of questions about the planned rollout of broadband.....

Update: The bill with the charter school language is headed to Gov. Rick Scott’s desk after the Senate approved it this morning on a 38-0 vote.
Florida lawmakers are set to approve a proposal intended to help military bases offer more education options for children of their personnel.
The move comes amid a high-profile effort to create a charter school at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. The organization looking to create the school withdrew its first application last week after being denied by the Hillsborough County School Board and losing its first state appeal.
A provision added to the “Florida G.I. Bill” would add new language to the state’s charter schools law, calling for commanders on bases to “collaboratively work with the Commissioner of Education to increase military family student achievement, which may include the establishment of charter schools on military installations.”
SB 860 contains a number of provisions aimed at helping the state’s veterans, from extending hiring preferences to charging them in-state tuition at colleges and universities. The Senate is scheduled to take it up today on the floor. The House passed its version, which also includes a charter schools provision, on the first day of the session.
Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, faced questions from Democrats on the Appropriations Committee last week when he helped add the charter schools provision to the Senate bill. They wanted to know if it would change the process for charter school approvals or affect the MacDill application. (The Florida Charter Educational Foundation withdrew its application later that day, and has pledged to revise and resubmit it).
Richter said the proposal “does not affect the MacDill situation.” It simply “encourages the MacDill base to work with the school district” and “recognizes the unique characteristics of our military families with deployment and certain other circumstances.”
Richter could not be reached for comment Monday.

The community became isolated after weekend flooding damaged state Route 159. Roughly 16 residents permanently live in the town nestled in the mountains in Catron County. A creek paralleling the road surged from its banks after heavy rains.
Authorities plan to use a bulldozer to scrap out a makeshift road, which could be used by four-wheel drive vehicles, but it's uncertain when the work will be completed.

n Rinea Metallic Foil Paper Review
This was a product in the “new product showcase” at Creativiation 2018 that really caught my eye- not just because anything shiny/metallic is so in right now (even though it IS) but also because it was paired with some mystical product called Ghost Ink that created a cool effect that you could use with stamping. So I scored a sample at the show, and it’s one of the first products I had to try and review!
These really are foil PAPERS- meaning it’s thin enough to be cut with a punch, torn easily, and yet holds a crease like a metallic foil gum wrapper!
And I’ve come to discover that Ghost Ink is very similar to a solvent-based cleaner, thickened and put in a stamp pad so you can easily stamp with it. I made a video to show you Rinea metallic foil paper and the ghost ink in action!
Here are some pictures of the booth samples….
Stunning, right? And here are my more modest offerings:
Rinea metallic foil paper is available on their website and also at Nasco products– let’s hope we see it in our local stores and big-box retailers soon!

About two million Britons applied to buy tickets for the Games but many were unsuccessful and others found they were only able to get to see low-profile sports.
A 970-page document published on Wednesday by Locog, the London Games organisers, which detailed the number of tickets sold for every session in every sport, made clear why so many people were disappointed.
In some events, more than half of the tickets were allocated to corporate clients, including gold medal events for basketball, hockey, pentathlon and handball.
One of the best days for basketball at the Olympics, the men's gold medal event and award ceremony, saw 56.8 per cent of tickets allocated to corporate clients.
Corporate clients were less interested in the women's basketball final, receiving only 24 per cent of the total tickets.
For all hockey events, 21 per cent of tickets went to corporate clients. However, the men's final saw over half the tickets go to corporate clients. The women's final was not much better, with 44 per cent of tickets allocated to VIPs and clients.
Overall, corporate clients got more than half of the tickets at more than 218 medal events at the Olympics, of which 205 were medal events.

Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula on Thursday addressed the Launch of the Public Discourse Platform for the taxi industry at Germiston. The platform brings together key stakeholders to engage in the future of the taxi industry.
The history of the taxi industry is littered with gruesome tales of conflicts and violence that has left many people dead and families robbed of breadwinners.
“Associations remain unregulated and operators are not held accountable for their conduct through an enforceable Code of Conduct. The taxi industry continues to operate as an informal sector on the fringes of the formal economy.”
Minister said they intend to host the National Taxi Lekgotla on 29 – 30 October 2020 . The launch will then be followed by a release of discussion documents and conversations which will be led by the Minister and the MECs in various Provinces.
Mbalula added that The National Taxi Lekgotla must agree that operators who get involved in conflict and taxi violence should face severe penalties, which may include withdrawal of their operating licences and any economic benefit sponsored by the government.

Despite this, a further finding of the survey is that across the UK consumers feel prices in their local area are overvalued and need to come down.
Rightmove director Miles Shipside said: "Our Q1 survey measured the highest proportion of home movers recorded to date forecasting that prices would be lower in 12 months’ time.
"That was the position of a third of them then, but now that proportion sharing that view has dropped to a quarter."
Each quarter for the past two years Rightmove has charted whether the home-moving public believe prices will increase, decrease or stay around the same.
For this latest survey the public were also asked whether they believed prices in their area were overvalued, undervalued or
about right. The results reveal that just under half (48%) of respondents believe prices in their local area are overvalued, with just 15% of the opinion that they are too low.
In London (60.8%), the South East (51.7%) and the South West (52.7%) the proportion of those feeling prices were overvalued were in the majority.
Shipside said: "There is a growing sense that many homes coming onto the UK housing market are priced too high and this is borne out by the views expressed in this survey.
"We now have a situation where half of the UK public feel house prices are too high, yet three quarters of the same public are expecting prices to either stay the same or increase over the next 12 months.
"This suggests the prospect of a market stand-off and rising unsold stock levels if sellers don’t wise up to the house price views of their target market."

Can California's snowpack rally like Washington's?
As mentioned here earlier this week, the Washington Cascades made a tremendous rally in the past two weeks for our seasonal snowpack, stuck at 50-60 percent of normal as late as Feb. 7, only to now sit at 97-104 percent of normal!
California's snowpack was in much more dire straits than Washington at the same time -- around 10-20 percent of normal in early February.
The Golden State did get a few of the 10 or so mountain-snow storms that dumped 6-8 feet of snow in the Cascades this month, but only a handful gave them a direct hit. As of Feb. 24, the Sierras stand at 33-48 percent of normal.
To put that in perspective, there was this jarring map provided by the National Weather Service office near San Francisco that shows just how much rainfall California would need to be considered out of their drought -- remember many of their towns not only set all-time records for driest 2013 on record, but shattered them.
Yes -- much of California would need another 12-15 inches of rain to make up their drought. That entails all parched land, not just the mountain snowpack, but to put that in snowfall terms, about 120-150 inches of mountain snow.
But could it be California's turn to make a run at normalcy? The jet stream that has been bugging us for a while will move temporarily south and bring a pair of storms carrying some much needed rainfall to the California lowlands and mountain snow to the Sierras.
It won't be quite as wet for as long as it was here, and how I likened Washington's deficit to being down 4 runs in the 9th, California is more like down 8-10 runs in the 9th.
But forecast models indicate about 50-60 inches of snow due in the high Sierras there by the end of the week and about 2.5 to 3 inches of rain in the Northern and Central California lowlands over the same time period. It won't get them to 100 percent, but every little drop (and snowflake) counts down there!

Some Republicans say it’s unfair for men to subsidize women’s maternity insurance since only women use it.
Is it fair that men’s contribution to making babies is a pleasurable orgasm, and that women’s contribution only begins with an orgasm — if she’s lucky (just 30% of US women always climax).
After maybe having an orgasm women end up with all the burden, varying from discomfort to possibly dying in childbirth. Read the rest of this entry
In non-patriarchal societies women are valued.
Not so much in patriarchies, where men rule and men are valued over women — whether you’re talking present-day America or the world circa B.C.E.
Wyoming: Women = Cattle?
Oklahoma and Wyoming Republicans agree women aren’t people, disagree on just what they are.
Many on the religious right are pro-Trump even though his life is not right religiously.
He’s bragged about enjoying plenty of casual sex. He’s even boasted about sexually assaulting women. And some women have filed lawsuits that sound exactly like the assaults that he has described making. His first wife said he raped her once (later taking back the claim).
Why do so many religious conservatives still back him? Read the rest of this entry
Some folks try to use their own religious rights to tramp down everyone else’s.
A couple examples:
- Contraception: Powerful people who don’t believe in birth control refuse to cover contraception thru their organization’s insurance
- Gay marriage: No cake-baking for gay weddings if you’re against homosexuality

That might happen if the Supreme Court rules against the government in the Zubik v. Burwell contraception case. Read the rest of this entry
Laws “protecting” women often end up harming them, instead.
That’s because limiting liberty is the real aim.
In 1905 a laundress sued her employer for making her work more than 10 hours — Oregon’s legal limit for women back then. The case eventually wound up at the Supreme Court, where her employer made this feminist argument:
Limits on women’s work hours discriminate against them.
But the Justices upheld the law, saying that women are like children, both needing special care. Read the rest of this entry
The Ms. Blog asked readers to share stories of what it was like to get illegal abortions before the 1973 Supreme Court decision on Roe v Wade that gave women the right to terminate a pregnancy.
It seems strange when a “pro-lifer” kills.
Like Robert Dear’s recent mass shooting.
Yet “pro-lifers” are less interested in sustaining life than in controlling women.
That sounds crazy, but check this out:

Defund Planned Parenthood to save lives?
That’s what folks — perpetually intent on promoting unplanned parenthood — claim. Because 3% of the services PP provided last year were abortion-related (but not government-funded). And some folks trust hoaxes staged to make PP look bad.
Yet the anti-PP folks don’t really care about saving lives.

Slightly Obsessed #054 "The Heart of a Child" (Weekly Devo) by Pamela Thorson on 2013-12-11 09:04:01
But Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” –Matthew 19:14
We started celebrating Christmas early the year our daughter flew out with her family for the holidays. Long before Thanksgiving, we were planning events and buying gifts. Christmas mingled with—and finally pre-empted—the turkey and harvest, creating a manic mix of fall colors and jingle bells. Competing Christmas songs played on opposite sides of the house, and we watched a gaggle of Christmas videos—sometimes twice.
Perhaps we were a tad over-zealous that year. But after years of disappointments and heartaches, it just felt good to have an excuse to celebrate.
Christmas is my favorite holiday most any year. I nearly always overdo it, and here is a part of the season I always put away with a sigh.
It’s the child in me, the one who never grew too old to believe in miracles. The older I get, the more I miss the wide-eyed little girl who lay awake most of the night listening for sleigh bells and who bounced out of bed before first light to run breathlessly to the tree.
I miss running in bare feet on cold floors, eating guiltless plates of cookies, playing outside in the snow until my toes were numb, and not knowing that drinking homemade egg nog could make me sick.
I especially miss believing that the golden glow of the season is real.
Somewhere along the way, the child in me got trampled, starved, and seriously sick. She grew too sad to dream or let hope out to play. Somewhere along the way, a tired cynicism replaced the wonder.
Somehow, the child grew into an old woman.
That won’t do anymore. This Christmas, I opened my present early. I found the box my heart had been hidden in. There she was: an innocent babe locked in the stinking barn of this world, a precious child of faith.
Oh, those trusting eyes! See how she reaches for her Father! What a gift from God!
She has waited so long for me to come for her. I want to hold her close and never let her go.
I think I’ll name her Joy.
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us today.

Slightly Obsessed #192: Heaven Is Calling: Consider Jesus
Some days we can barely hear it. Other days it drives us to our knees. But it’s always there; that persistent tug in our souls. Whether we trudge through our days or chase the stars of fame and fortune, we can’t drown out the cry that sounds silently in the pit of our being, jarring us with its urgency and moving us with its tears.
No matter what you may be going through in life, I want you to know that God's grace is sufficient for you. You may have messed up, you may have failed, you may have gone the wrong direction, you may have gossiped, or much worse, but God wants you to know that it does not define who you are. He does. He and His grace is much more powerful than anything you might have said or done. Grace always shocks. It always amazes, and it always stuns. Grace is what we all need. It's what everyone groping around lost in the darkness needs to know.
Slightly Obsessed #191: You Can Give Others the Gift of Courage
My father lay propped up in the hospital bed, his face ashen against the white sheets. My step-mother and I huddled around him in the cramped space of the progressive care unit in which he was recuperating. He had suffered three heart attacks in the space of one month. None of us had gotten much sleep in the last few days. So far, we had seen little of either the hospitalist in charge of his care or the cardiologist on staff.
Slightly Obsessed #190: A Warbird’s Lesson
On a recent hot July day, we took in an air show in our town. Vintage planes, including a couple of impressive old warbirds, sat majestically on the tarmac for inspection as we darted from wing to wing to find relief from the withering heat.
These planes are still operable, so although some of them were open for people to walk through, the cockpits were off-limits for obvious reasons. No one wanted a tragedy to happen because an unauthorized person tampered with the controls. People who don’t know what they’re doing shouldn’t be in control.
Slightly Obsessed #189: The Calling
The sound must have been a maddening echo that haunted him at first, tormented by the rooster’s crow that mocked his empty proclamation of loyalty. For three days, his faith lay in the grave with the Savior’s body, darkened by the memory of his public desertion.

The vine which produced the unfertilized fruit carried It as though in the encircling arms of the branches, and said: 'Thou, my fruit, my life, By Whom I am known as I am and was. Thou art my God. As I behold the seal of my virginity unbroken, I proclaim Thee the immutable Word become flesh. I know no seed; I know Thee as one who delivers from corruption; For I am pure after having Thee as issue from me; For Thou hast left my womb as Thou hast found it; Thou hast kept it safe. For this reason the whole creation rejoices with me, crying: Mary, full of grace.'
---The Kontakia of Romanos, On the Nativity II
Nets and snares were fashioned, then, For the young fawn of the Virgin and Mother of God, But the trap was broken and the fawn escaped, tearing the snare.
With His mother, like a blameless deer, He fled Into Egypt, as Micah once said. O Thou Who art everywhere and Who rulest over all, where dost Thou flee?
Where dost Thou lead? In what city Shalt Thou make Thy dwelling? What house will contain Thee, what place will support Thee? No part of creation anywhere is invisible to Thy sight, But all things are laid bare to Thee, Thou art the Maker of All, O Christ. Why, then, dost Thou flee, Holy One? Because of Thee, Herod mourns as he weeps That his power will soon be destroyed.

LIMPRINT: Estimation of the Prevalence of Lymphoedema/Chronic Oedema in Acute Hospital in In-Patients.
Background: To estimate the prevalence of lymphedema/chronic edema (CO) and wounds in acute hospital inpatients in five different countries. Methods and Results: A point-prevalence study was carried out during working day periods in six general hospitals in four countries (Denmark, France, United Kingdom, and Australia) and one hospital oncology inpatient unit in one other country (Ireland). The study used validated clinical tools for the assessment and collection of data. Data were collected by expert clinicians through interviews and physical examination of the patients present in the wards. A total of 1905 patients could be included and investigated among the 3041 total bed occupancy in the seven hospitals. Lymphedema/CO was present in 723 of them (38%). Main risk factors associated with CO were age, morbid obesity, and heart failure, as well as chair bound immobility and neurological deficiency. History of cellulitis was frequent in patients with CO and wounds (24.8%) and CO alone (14.1%) compared to the 1.5% prevalence in patients without CO. Conclusion: Lymphedema/CO is very frequent in patients hospitalized in hospital acute wards. It is strongly associated with obesity, venous insufficiency, and heart failure. Our results strongly suggest a hidden health care burden and cost linked to CO independently of chronic wounds.

Chloe Albert enters the media tent with a sense of exterior calm amongst the festival frenzy. Numerous accolades surround Albert, an Edmonton based singer-songwriter, with a 2014 Juno Nominee and Western Canadian Music and Edmonton Music Awards for her most recent album, Dreamcatcher.
This is Albert’s second time performing at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival; she notes with a smile that the first time she was on Gallagher Hill, she was just a bundle of nerves. She exudes the patience of an Artist that has the stamina to build her career in gradual manner.
Tell me about a formative musical moment in your upbringing.
C: For me, actually, it was Lilith Fair, probably around 15 years ago. Right around when I bought my first guitar was when Lilith Fair happened. There were all these women and artists I really loved and looked up to. The merging of those two things together at the same time was when I got excited about it and thought: “I’d really love to do this!” I was always really shy and performing was not something I did otherwise. It was struggle to get out but I love the rush of it.
Are you ever surprised about people’s connection with you through your music?
C: That’s my favorite thing ever. Even at this Festival, I still have this idea in my head that I must know everybody who listens to my music because I must have a relatively small fanbase. However, CKUA has a really broad reach. Even at this Festival I’ve had people say they’ve been listening for years. A kind gentleman yesterday, said to me: “your voice has stopped me in my tracks so many times over the years,” that still surprises me and makes me feel really good. A lot of times you really don’t have a way of knowing. Not everyone is on social media and even if they do they might not reach out.
What made you decide to pursue music as a profession?
C: It really changed year to year. Fifteen is where I thought: “Oh, I want to do this.” I was really naïve, I didn’t know the road ahead of me that was awaiting. This is embarrassing to admit, but I kinda grew up in a time where my favorite singer/songwriters were discovered singing on a street corner. I wasn’t too worried about it. I played some open mics and I was interested in traveling. I wasn’t too worried about pounding the pavement and thought, “someone will discover me!” Then I put out my first record and that changed things a lot.
Then I took music in college. I was in college taking a Bachelor of Arts program, I felt like a fish out of water. I enjoyed it but I didn’t feel like I was in the right place. My mom suggested the music program cause I’ve always played music. I wasn’t hoping to go to school for music but it ended up being the best. That’s where I got my first glimpse of the idea of playing music and not necessarily having to be a superstar. Many of my professors have been jazz musicians and played music for their whole lives in Edmonton and Alberta. I remember thinking, “that’s so cool!”
I have a local band I play in here with some of my best girlfriends. Now it’s really nice because when I’m taking a break, I had a baby last year, not taking a break from my own stuff but focusing on writing and not performing. And this band can keep me busy and pay some bills. It’s been an evolution. Between my first and second record I knew that [a career as a professional musician] was possible and this was what I wanted to do.
It sounds like post-secondary education seemed like a positive move in your training.
C: Just the level of musicianship was so high and was something to strive for. Hearing that practical side of making a living while playing music. It was really positive.
Even the world of grant writing was important to learn about, which as an independent artist, you really need to know. That was really important because grants funded both my albums. It gives you the power back from “maybe I’ll get discovered someday!” to “I’m going to apply for some grants and I’m going to get the work.”
Motherhood is a new component into your various roles. Do you enjoy the diversity and change each of your roles offer?
C: I knew I wanted to continue to play when I had a baby. Singing and playing is the same as exercise, if you stop you gotta to start from scratch again and you’re out of shape. It’s definitely a juggle that I’m still adjusting to. I’m still trying to do everything I was doing before and obviously there’s this beautiful, human being that I’m taking care of so that takes a large portion of my time. The first year I was putting no pressure on myself. I was enjoying motherhood and performing every couple of weeks. Now I’m starting to find the balance. He’s 1.5 now so it’s a little more structured. I’ll probably be figuring out this juggle for the next while. It’s good, it’s fun!
Do you feel like motherhood has introduced a new perspective to your work?
C: Not so much. The most common question I get asked is: “now that you have had a baby, has this inspired a whole bunch of new songs?” Not yet. Well, like I said, for the first year I didn’t write at all.
I just attended a writing workshop in Nashville last week and I found that when I was focused on it and delving into it, I find that I do have a lot to say and maybe I haven’t realized it. But now it’s all starting to bud.
Do you have general guidelines in your songwriting session?
C: The most important ingredient for me is the inspiration behind the song. There has to be this inexplicable thing when I’m playing my guitar. It could be a lyric or a melody. You either get a feeling or you don’t about it. That is the sacred special piece of the song. What often happens, the way I write, I get that bout of inspiration that comes to me and from there I work outwards from there lyrically and melodically. Sometimes when you’re writing, you can lose the essence of why you’re writing. Sometimes in co-writing or if you go back to the song many times and re-write it, you can lose the essence. Not getting too caught up in, for example, as far as lyrics are concerned, there can be a lot of rules.
But really, there are no rules, because it’s art. In the last five years taking songwriting classes, really focusing on a lyric needing to be a certain way, I find sometimes you can compromise the essence of trying to make it fit into a box. That’s another learning and juggling act to dance around that fine line. I’m really pulling back now and realizing I was focusing too much on framework and structure and sometimes that can take away from the magic of the song. What I found generally speaking is that there are always exceptions to rules. You think, “that song one of my favorite and it doesn’t follow any of those rules.”
Do you have any checks to see if pieces work?
C: Before I used to be: “when a song is done, it’s done!” But now I’m more open to people’s takes and opinions. I want to be making music people enjoy. I’ve been writing a few new songs for the new record and I’ve been doing that playing it for friends or sending voice memos to family. I’ve also been trying them at smaller shows to get some feedback.
What do you enjoy about being a working musician based out of Edmonton?
C: Surprisingly, people think of Alberta of being oil country but we have a phenomenal Arts community. Having toured Canada now and traveled as an independent musician – that was when I realized how great Alberta is. Calgary has six folk clubs, Edmonton has two or three, that’s more than most cities!
The CKUA Radio Network is a huge part of keeping this circuit alive amongst folk independent artists. I find Alberta has been really great. The other is the corporate world. If you are dabbling in both, like I am, it’s really great here. There’s a wealth of Arts funding.
With social media coming into play, there was a time 10 years ago that I did feel the pressure to move to a bigger centre like Toronto, Vancouver, or out of Canada. But now, I feel like it’s not necessary. There’s the internet and you can share your music that way.
What is moving you forward in the next few years?
C: The thing that really drives me is the fulfillment of creativity. That’s why I love songwriting. I hope to continue to have a rich experience of collaborating with people and writing music. Ultimately, I’d like to be playing for larger audiences and touring more.
It is evident that this calm resilience and pursuit of songwriting excellent will continue to fuel Albert’s artistic work into the future.

About Access Point Calculator (Formula)
An Access Point Calculator is a tool that helps you determine the number of access points needed to cover a certain area with wireless internet connectivity. The formula used by the Access Point Calculator is based on the number of users expected to be connected to each access point and the total number of users in the service area.
The formula for the Access Point Calculator is:
APs = TSA/C
- APs is the number of access points required to cover the service area
- TSA is the Total Service Area, which is the total number of users expected to be in the service area
- C is the capacity per access point, which is the maximum number of users that can be connected to each access point at the same time
To use the formula, simply input the values of TSA and C into the Access Point Calculator, and the result will be the number of access points needed to cover the service area. It is important to note that the result of the formula should always be rounded up to the nearest whole number, since we cannot have a fraction of an access point.
The Access Point Calculator is a useful tool for anyone who needs to plan or design a wireless network, such as network administrators, IT professionals, or even home users who want to ensure reliable Wi-Fi coverage in their homes. By using the formula provided by the Access Point Calculator, you can easily calculate the number of access points required to provide wireless coverage for a given area, ensuring that you have the necessary infrastructure to support the number of users in the service area.

A magistrates’ court, faced with the umpteenth backtracking by an alleged victim of domestic violence, has observed that this frequent occurrence spelt “enormous frustration” for the police and a waste of time for the courts.
The comments surfaced in two separate judgments delivered by magistrate Ian Farrugia which dealt with, what appears to have become, a familiar scenario in cases stemming from charges of domestic violence.
Such a situation was one “of not little importance,” said the court, observing that often the prosecution’s case hinged upon the testimony of the alleged victim who, when called to testify against a spouse or partner, would refuse to do so, as she or he had every right to do at law.
“The fear of such an alleged victim suffering further victimization, if pressured to testify, is a real one indeed,” the court observed.
This appeared to be the case of one woman who was punched in the face by her husband after an outing to the beach with her friends.
Judging her bathing suit to have been “indecent,” the man had allegedly punched his wife on the nose and slammed her laptop on the floor, damaging the €900-worth device.
Yet when the incident landed in court, the alleged victim had refused to testify, sticking firmly to her decision all throughout and even refusing to be examined by a medico-legal expert.
The woman said that she had suffered no injuries, unlike what she had stated in her complaint to the police.
Failing sufficient evidence, the prosecution’s case faltered.
Unfortunately, in such circumstances, the alleged victim is “solely responsible” for the final outcome of the case, namely, the acquittal of the alleged aggressor, the court remarked.
Such an “emphatic” refusal” by the alleged victim effectively frustrated all the work put in by police officers and social workers, as well as, “last but not least” the courts who, after devoting time and effort to hear such cases, were left with insufficient evidence to convict the alleged aggressor.

General information: http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/embedded.htm#wxgtk
wxGPE (G Palmtop Environment) port: http://www.roebling.de/embedded.html
Compiling the stock wxWidgets for OpenMoko should not be a problem.
For the wxGPE port: I am not sure whether the necessary GPE libraries
are included in OpenMoko, or if it is a good idea to use them.

This Gallery were made to show high contrast, low contrast, value distribution,(balanced), value distribution (unbalanced), volumetric value, attached shadows, cast shadow, atmospheric perspective, and Chiaroscuro.
This image shows high contrast because it lets you see all of the shades of the value scale. Something else why it can be High contrast is because it has the dark and light abstraction.
THis piece of art shows low contrast. WHat makes it low contrast is because it basically shows more light than dark.
THis image is not black and white but it does shows the scale because it goes from dark and fades unto lighter surfaces.
Value Distribution(Balance) is shown in this piece of art because it shows everything equally,it doesn't have more dark than light, and it doesn't have more light than dark so in other words its equal
Value Distribution (Unbalanced) is represented in this art is because it has way more dark than white so its unequal, in other words unbalanced.
This shows Volumetric Value because you can see all of the scale inside of this one picture. It not only shows white but it shows both.
Attached Shadows is represented in this art because no only do the picture show value but it also shows the actual shadow of the painting.
Cast Shadow is shown in this because you can't really recognize the shadow unless you look at it real closely.
Atmospheric Perspective is in this because it gives that dull look and the dark is close while the light is in the back, and you can clearly see this in the image.
Chiaroscuro is in this image because the front is light while the back is dark. What I am trying to say is, you clearly see the face of the man but you have to really focus in the background because its not clear enough for you to see.
