DVD Talk Ultimate Edition
Anyone else watch this?
It's one of the most hilarious shows I've seen in a long, long time. Got the first season on DVD and was hooked. Season Two's been great too, very funny last night, except that David the boss apparently got fired. I know he can't be gone for good, so what's going to happen next?

I'm only about 1/2 way through this episode.
I like the show a lot more than I thought I would. The characters are very realistic, and have their own [annoying] quirks, and the 'reality show' aspect of it doesn't grate on me nearly as much as any of the other reality shows [I hate reality shows with a passion, I'd rather watch test patterns.] And it is often compared to Office Space, but I didn't like that all that much.
To mix classic BBC show references, David is such a smeghead.
The Office is hilarious, but also sad too--I keep saying, 'I know that guy! He's in the office next to mine!'

What's worse is when you realize 'that guy' is you. It happened to me halfway through the first season.
The Office is the best sitcom on TV.

SO, any idea what's up with David being made "redundant"?
[I don't use spoilers when the episode's already aired.]
My favorite character is receptionist. The looks she gives are just priceless.
I'd be Tim. The guy who has no idea how he got stuck in his job but still jumped at a chance for a promotion.

Ever dreamt of a tropical holiday in exotic Thailand? Cruising on longtail boats, snorkelling with nemo, sipping on cocktails by the pool as the sun sets? Yep, me too!
My name's Shaelee, I'm an American studying in Sydney and a couple of months ago, my boyfriend and I were lucky enough to win a trip for two to Thailand, compliments of AdventureHoney and Scoot Airlines!
Here are just a few of our favourite snapshots from an incredible adventure.
Our journey started with a super quick and cheerful check-in process with Scoot, definitely the best budget airline I've flown with. The flight from Sydney gave us a 24 hour layover in Singapore, so that's where our adventure began.
We were determined to see as much of Singapore as we could, and it actually ended up being a highlight of the trip. Soon after arriving it was clear we were in a unique place with Singapore's perfectly groomed flowers and large trees that led us down the East Coast Parkway. Lee Kuan Yew (the country's first Prime Minister) had just passed and the city was getting ready for a weekend of honouring their great leader. It was amazing to feel a sense of stillness in the heart of a metropolis.
It's impossible to ignore the prominence of Marina Bay Sands Casino, so we decided to make this our first stop in Singapore.
Surprisingly, there was no charge to make it up to the Sky Bar, but you can bet on paying a pretty penny for a drink. After a couple of swanky cocktails we asked the bartender where he would be if he wasn't working, and with his recommendation we were off to the Club Street scene.
After Club Street our other memorable stops were Little India (for an amazing authentic Indian meal), Clarke Quay (despite the $20 Heineken), Raffles Hotel and The Fullerton. We we're excited to see what Thailand had in store, but we both agreed that we'll be back for more Singapore someday.
We stopped in Bangkok only long enough to enjoy a Thai feast on Khao San Road and a foot reflexology, where Kevin and I both decided would be a good place for a nap. It was glorious.
Krabi town was our final destination and Ao Nang Beach is where we settled in for the next seven days. Despite the many resorts along the beach, Ao Nang has an incredibly chilled vibe and is a perfect location to hop around to the different islands and Railay Beach (just beyond the cliff in the shot below).
First sunset on Ao Nang beach. We learned later that tallboy koozies (for our American friends) or stubbie holders (for our Aussie friends) are a game changer!
We stayed at Ao Nang Cliff Beach Resort, which was great. Highly recommend it if you're staying put for a week or so. My favourite thing was breakfast on the rooftop where you can take in the sunrise every morning.
Railay was our favourite beach from the trip and since it's only a ten-minute longtail boat ride from Ao Nang, we were able to visit multiple times. Railay Beach is a small peninsula between Krabi town and Ao Nang and is surrounded by cliffs. The only way to reach Railay is by boat. There's a ton of cool things to do in Railay.
From the West side we walked through to snorkel in the Phra Nang Cave. We were warned about the monkeys before we started to make the trek, but I didn't realize the terror we would face. You really have to be careful. The monkeys love fedoras.
One of the best things we did was a private Krabi long tail boat tour, which was an awesome day tour from Ao Nang for (lunch and snacks included). We hopped around to Pakbia Island, Lading Island, Daeng Island and Hong. We had enough time to relax, kayak and snorkel on each island. Hong means "room" in Thai and it's given this name because of the lagoon fixed in the middle of the island. If you get a chance to take a private longtail boat to Hong Island, you'll be able to stay in the lagoon long enough to get out and snorkel.
We may have picked the hottest day of the week to walk up the 1,267 steps to Tiger Cave Temple, but the view at the top is well worth the hike. The temple got its name because of the tigers that would roam the grounds of Wat Tham Suea.
It was sad how quickly our week was coming to a close. We saved sunset on Railay Beach for our last night in Thailand. Railay Beach Resort also had a sunset party complete with live music and a fire show. It was perfect for our last dinner on our favourite beach.
This trip will be impossible to forget. Thank you AdventureHoney and Scoot for letting us experience some of Thailand's greatest treasures. This place has my heart!
← Win A Flight To Thailand!
Awesome, sounds like you had a great time!

FTC: Credit Freezes Are Now Free
September 24, 2018 • by Staff
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a reminder that, starting today, consumers who are concerned about identity theft or data breaches can freeze their credit and place one-year fraud alerts for free.
Under the new Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, consumers in some states — those who previously had to pay fees to freeze their credit — will no longer have to do so. The new law also allows parents to freeze for free the credit of their children who are under 16, while guardians, conservators, and those with a valid power of attorney can get a free freeze for their dependents.
In addition, the new law extends the duration of a fraud alert on a consumer's credit report from 90 days to one year. A fraud alert requires businesses that check a consumer's credit to get the consumer's approval before opening a new account.
As part of its work to implement the new law, the Federal Trade Commission has updated its IdentityTheft.gov website with credit bureau contact information, making it easier for consumers to take advantage of the new provisions outlined in the law.
To place a credit freeze on their accounts, consumers will need to contact all three nationwide credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Whether consumers ask for a freeze online or by phone, the credit bureau must put the freeze in place within one business day. When consumers request to lift the freeze by phone or online, the credit bureaus must take that action within one hour. If the request is made by mail, the agency must place or lift the freeze within three business days.
To place a fraud alert, consumers need only contact one of the three credit bureaus, which will notify the other two bureaus, according to the FTC.
"Credit freezes and fraud alerts are two important steps consumers can take to help prevent identity theft," the regulator stated on its website. "Identity theft was the second biggest category of consumer complaints reported to the FTC in 2017 — making up nearly 14 percent of all the consumer complaints filed last year. Consumers who believe they have been the victim of identity theft can report it and receive a personalized recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov."

A fire ant bite can cause several health problems for individuals. The health problems can be related to the skin and be minor in severity or can affect the whole body and be much more serious. In either case, a fire ant sting treatment is recommended to lessen the symptoms or prevent serious health complications.
Before discussing symptoms and possible treatments for a fire ant bite, it is necessary to provide some basic information about fire ants.
There are many different species of ants. Ants live in colonies that range from 100 to over one million ants. Some ants bite or sting, while others do not. One type of ant that does sting is the fire ant.
What is a fire ant and how do you identify one?
Fire ants can look like ordinary house or garden ants. However, their bodies and antennae are different. More specifically, a fire ant is small and coppery brown to black in color on the head and body. The abdomen is darker. The length of fire ants varies from 3 to 6 mm. They can be distinguished from other ants due to their rather aggressive behaviour, especially near their nest.
Fire ant nests have no obvious entry or exit points because the openings are small. Their nests or mounds are dome-shaped and can be quite large: up to 40 cm high by 35 cm in diameter and a meter or more deep. They nest preferentially in moist soil areas. The mounds can be found next to objects on the ground such as wood, rocks, paving stones, and bricks. They can also be found in sunny open areas such as lawns, uncultivated farmland or pastures, and along the side of roads, rivers, and ponds.
Unfortunately, sometimes fire ants also nest indoors and can become a serious home pest. Common indoor nesting spots are inside wall cavities, electrical boxes, drawers, and in attics. These types of ants are found throughout the United States, especially the southern states. Fire ants can also be found in South America, Australia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and China.
Fire ants generally mind their own business. However, a bite is more likely to occur when the ant or its mound is disturbed. If this occurs, many aggressive ants will swarm the threat in few seconds.
When a fire ant stings or bites, it first grabs the skin with its mandibles. This anchors the ant so that it can thrust its abdominal stinger and venom into the victim's skin. The problem is that fire ants do not bite or sting only once. In fact, one fire ant will sting relentlessly. This multiple stinging or biting (7 or 8 stings) is usually in a circular pattern around the area where the fire ant anchored itself. In addition, encounters with fire ants usually involve several or up to a hundred ants. Therefore, the amount of bites from fire ants in an attack can be significant with each one of those fire ants stinging multiple times.
A fire ant delivers a very painful and burning sting to its victims. This fiery burning pain is intensified because of the likelihood of multiple bites or stings. It is for this reason that the fire ant got its name. Other symptoms can be divided into minor reactions that generally affect only the skin or more serious allergic reactions.
In addition to the fiery type stinging pain, which will last an hour at least but potentially several hours, a fire ant bite will cause a welt or hive to develop at each sting site. A small blister will then form on the skin at the sting sites within 6 to 24 hours. The fluid in the blister then becomes cloudy. The area around the sting sites may swell, itch, and be red in color. Sometimes a red halo forms around the stings. The swelling can last for two or three days.
If the blisters are not broken, the skin will heal on its own in about a week or two with only basic fire ant bite treatment procedures being required. The blisters may also break without being disturbed after a few days and a scab will form. After complete healing of the skin, the scab will fall off and a small scar on the skin may be evident. If the blisters are broken, likely due to excessive scratching to ease the itch, then there is a risk of an infection developing at the bite site.
A bite from a fire ant may cause more serious reactions in a small percentage of the people (less than 1 percent) who are stung. This type of reaction may occur at the first sting or may result later in time when an individual is stung again. In these cases, a prior sting sensitizes the individual to an allergic type reaction if the person is stung again sometime in the future.
The symptoms of an allergic bite reaction to a fire ant are similar to stings from other insects. These include general flushing of skin, hives all over the body, swelling of the face, eyes, tongue, lips, and throat, slurred speech, chest pains, headache, sweating and nausea, faintness, and wheezing or difficulty breathing (anaphylaxis). These systems usually occur immediately or within an hour of the stinging. In rare cases, serious reactions to fire ant bites may occur several hours after the attack.
For major allergic reactions caused by this ant bite, medical attention should be sought after immediately because death can occur if no action is taken. If appropriate steps are taken the prognosis is good.
The bite victim should remain calm. Individuals that know they are allergic to insect stings should have an epinephrine auto-injector such as an Epi-Pen with them. The Epi-Pen should be administered if the signs of an allergic reaction become evident. After injection, the victim should be transported to hospital immediately. Nothing should be given by mouth before arriving at the hospital. At the hospital more epinephrine may be given as well as oral steroids.
Desensitization is a treatment procedure that may be helpful in protecting allergic individuals from serious reactions caused by insect bites or stings. This type of treatment is performed only under very close medical supervision.
Following a few simple rules can prevent a fire ant bite. Individuals with known allergies to fire ant bites should strictly follow these recommendations.
Whenever outside in an area where fire ants are known to reside or in areas where fire ants are more likely to be, then shoes and socks should be worn. Careful attention should be paid to where you are standing or stepping to avoid a fire ant bite. Avoid brightly colored clothing and wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Do not sit or lay down on grass. By wearing gloves when working in grassy areas or in the garden a fire ant bite can be prevented as well. Do not go near fire ant mounds and definitely do not aggravate the ants. Doing so may lead to a fire ant bite.


In May 2015, flights coming in from every corner of the world on route to the little Emerald Isle reached full capacity, as Irish people dropped everything to come home and VOTE YES to marriage equality. The referendum, which allowed people choose love over religious driven gender discrimination, seen an overwhelming 66,000 new people register to vote. This record-breaking figure showed that equality holds a high place in our values, and that we were ready to fight for it.
The heated campaign tested the strength and character of everyone involved, some losing the respect of the nation through uneducated, small-minded ignorance, others rising up tall to become well respected advocates of positive change, and others becoming heroes who would have made Harvey Milk himself burst with pride.
When the vote was in, the YES campaigners celebrated, girls and boys, women and men, love and colours and rainbows and happiness, freedom and hope and life and equality. Had the NO campaigners won, they would have had nothing to celebrate, returning home that evening content that they have forced their friends and neighbours deeper into the emotional hell they were so close to breaking free from only hours before.
Two years on, the positivity of the YES result is shining brighter than ever, with gay people feeling pride instead of shame as they hold hands on the streets of Dublin, happily planning their futures without fear and with the support of their nation behind them. Through the YES vote, people have been given the strength, courage, and the basic human right to be themselves.
The fact that this law was ever in place at all undoubtedly made many of us grow bitter and cold towards our backwards little country, however on May 22nd 2015 we made our mark on the world, paving the way for future change and regaining our lost faith in humanity, proving indeed that hope will never be silent.

Q: Ruby API Call Page Issue This might be a basic issue but very common so it might be helpful to other people in the future.
I use HTTParty to make a get request to an API, which returns some information, something like this:
{
    datapath: "blah-blah.blah.blah",
    success: true,
    info: {
        row_limit: 500,
        total_results: 2700,
        total_pages: 6,
        current_page: 1
    },
    result: [
        {name: something, age: 1},
        {name: something, age: 2},
        {name: something, age: 3},
        {name: something, age: 4},
        {name: something, age: 5},
        ......
    ]
}

I want a list of all names, so I have something like this:
response = HTTParty.get('blah-blah.blah.blah')
names = response.map { |entry| entry["name"] }

With this method I only get names on the very first page aka those first 500, but I want all the names in the 2700 entries. How do I do that?

A: In fact, a quick google led me to this page https://app.enigma.io/api#data which tells me the parameter in question is limit, and that the max is 500.  So, it looks like you can't get the data for all rows in one hit.
If you really NEED the data for all the rows at once (and maybe you don't, actually) then you can pass limit=500 and keep increasing the page by 1, and combine the results at your end to get all the rows.

75 Amax shoots very well in mine.
75 a-maxs were good out to 600 in of mine but at 700 they start to wobble.
Some barrels will shoot the heavies better than others, although you still need to push them hard. my 1:9 SPS Tactical will not shoot the 75gr A-Maxes better than 1.5MOA, however, it averages just over half MOA with the 69gr Matchkings.

In 2014, Clara, a single mother of 3 daughters, was living in an unsafe and unstable environment. With no family close by, Clara struggled to pay rent and provide for children on a single income. She longed for a home where she and her daughters could feel safe, but the apartments she found in Azusa either weren't safe or out of her limited budget.
When they moved into CHW Azusa, Clara finally had the safety her family needed with rent she could afford. The gated community offered Clara and her family both security and peace of mind. Her apartment was beautiful and spacious, so her daughters had room to live, play, and grow together in their new home. The stability she found in her CHW apartment allowed Clara to better provide for her family. But, she had no idea that CHW Azusa offered CHW's award winning programs for free to all residents.
Once Clara and her daughters got involved at the CHW Community Center, everything changed. With the encouragement of CHW Azusa's Community Building Coordinator Josh, Clara's daughters came to the Community Center for CHW programs. They started making friends, gaining confidence, and most importantly, feeling like they belonged in their new community. In the Study Stars afterschool program, 8 year old Bella discovered a love of reading with access to volunteer tutors and leading edge e-learning software. Clara's 17 year old daughter Angie and niece Marisol are actively involved with CHW's Achiever high school leadership program. Angie, Marisol and Clara's 20 year old daughter Stephanie are on the path to careers in medicine and business. And, they aren't the only ones with a brighter future.
With support from CHW's Community Center and her neighbors, Clara emerged as a leader in her community and in her city. As a CHW resident, Clara could attend the Community Leadership Institute, which inspired her to use her voice and become a leader. Clara works with Azusa's Grassroots ESL Initiative to teach ESL classes to CHW residents at the Community Center. She attended NeighborWorks' prestigious Community Leadership Institute where she connected with other resident leaders in affordable apartment communities nationwide and learned valuable leadership and community organizing skills. She is currently leading efforts to plan a community-wide talent show at CHW Azusa to strengthen community ties between her neighbors and their families. Inspired by her fellow residents and her daughters, Clara aspires to go back to school for a career in the medical field.

If you are looking for the best place to buy Secret Wonderland fragrance oil then look no further. At Bulk Apothecary we only sell the absolute finest quality ingredients and supplies and our Secret Wonderland fragrance oil is no different. Our signature fragrances are stronger and last longer than any other supplier online.
A luscious blend of strawberry, frosted jasmine petals and white amber inspired by a secret world you never knew existed.- A Bath and Body Works type.
Many people ask us what makes our oils so much different from the competition and the facts are pretty basic. Many suppliers of fragrances dilute their product with cheaper carriers. This allows them to sell their product at prices that are sometime lower than our amazing wholesale price. However don't be fooled. In most cases you will need 5 to 10 times as much oil to get the same effect in your products. Our Secret Wonderland fragrance oil can be used at .3%. That means that 1 of our .5oz. Secret Wonderland fragrances can scent an entire gallon of our unscented bases. That is because our pure Secret Wonderland oils are 100% pure. We never cut our products and that means we have the absolute best quality available anywhere online. This also ensures that our Secret Wonderland oil will not negatively impact your final product. Many products have a salt curve and inferior grade fragrances can often break that salt curve and consequently break the viscosity of your product. Because our products are 100% pure, they are less likely to cause any issues with your final product.
I love this oil, I have reordered several times. And the price is fabulous.
This fragrance oil smells almost identical to the bath and body works scent. I realized that their lotions were full of toxic ingredients so upon searching I found the scent here and ordered a lotion base as well, so now I have my fav scent and don't feel like I'm covering myself in radioactive slime, yay!

Q: Configuration priority - best practise When creating a new application that has some configuration.
The configuration can exist in one of the following places

*

*Env' variable

*Config file

*Command line

*Defualt

The question is what is the priority between them?
For example, if I pass a configuration from the command line it will override the config file value for this configuration

A: So to me the priority is in that order from high to low:
command line (overrides everything bellow), environment variable, config file and default.
In general command line arguments should be able to override all config values.
Environment variables should be able to override config file values but not command line arguments. If you want to override config file value with environment variable then: X=3 that overrides config file value X=1 and then with X=2 should be done via the command line.
I think that is the most flexible way to manage this kind of hierarchy.


How a Project Manager manages with a tools?
A Project Manager needs manage projects, not tools to capacities the team to a culture fix to results and the good modes with the best resources, managing expectative and areas could automatize thought tools. A good Project Manager is who that knows use the best software tools available to optimize the work and of her team.
Someone with knowledges in Project Management themes.
Someone competent and who shows motivation when applies their knowledges.
Personality in reference to interpersonal abilities of Project Management, Soft Skills.
One of the big problems that the Project Managers found are afront the few integrations that's exist between methodologies and tools, some compatible points could create an implementation between their. That's one part and for the big quantities of tools that exist and that present very unique features that may be specificity for every one abilities of tool to combine and got a better control about projects.
The principal obligation of a Project Manager is ends with exit. It is a little bit inexact concept and difficult to define but is necessary get clear and insists with the objectives.
The authority of Project Manager could be of two types, formal – legal or real – informal. The formal one derives of the own structure of organization, with the position, the executive range, for hierarchy, delegated powers or for economic control inside the company. Meanwhile informal or real its personal and gets for the technical knowledges, business capacity, experience or personal prestige and are good recognized for the members.
The Project Manager could be defined how these people that integrates the intern efforts and outside of organization to manage the execution to providing the success. The good Project managers may know that a big part of results of projects are in the correct distribution of tasks and the correct management, counting with the best tools, that have an online support and allow access from every place and dispositive, allowing tasks as: edition and control versions, add documents of different tasks, share files with teams, security to protect the documents and information, security copies of integration with the project management software.
A Project Manager is developing like a key figure in the planification, execution and control of projects and impulse the advance trough decisions to objectives. Counts with an executive power and authority to get decisions and allow the projects.
At the time to contact with others unities or persons depends of the organizational structure that got the organization. In an organization structured for projects their got more relevance because all pass under their supervision.

Well, Christmas will be here in a few days. The weather has turned cooler here in Florida - in anticipation of Christmas. Maybe it will snow? Oh, well, just kidding.
I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope that your time with family and friends is enjoyable. Make sure to give extra hugs. I am sure I will be enjoying my family gatherings.
I love putting up our tree since it gives me a chance to look at all the bulbs and decorations and remember where they came from. I still have ones from my children when they were tiny. Since they have their own children now, I get new ones from the grandchildren each year. Then there are those that we purchase on a trip as a remembrance. We get a new one each year and it is great to remember that particular vacation. It's just one of our traditions.
I have enjoyed "visiting" with all of you and thank you for visiting with me. See you in the new year.
Blooming Poinsettias! Wow, I am so excited!
This time of year, many people buy Poinsettias for decorating. I usually do so as well. Then what do you do with them? When I lived up north I would wait for them to die and then throw them out. The last few years, after Christmas is over, I say to myself, "plant those Poinsettia plants and see if they grow and bloom" here in Florida. Unfortunately, that never seems to happen. They sit there for a while, and then I move them and forget to water them and they die.
What can we say that will help ease the pain for all those families that continue to deal with last Friday's ordeal. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through. I thought of my grandchildren who are 5 and 7 years old and my daughter who is a teacher.
What can you say; what can you do?
I have been praying for them. I believe that prayer is a powerful thing, so in the course of your day, lift up a prayer for all those families and let them feel our love.
Spend time with your loved ones today, for tomorrow is never promised.
Decorating the Outdoor Steps !!
Isn't it funny how you can get excited about steps and a banister? Who knew!
We live in a ranch, so there are no steps or banisters to decorate. However, we do have three steps and a banister leading down from our deck. I usually have planters with flowers blooming on the steps, but at Christmas it gives me the opportunity to decorate this area.
Since there is no chance of snow here in southern Florida, I sprayed the greenery and poinsettias with snow. We do get a lot of rain, so I don't know how long the fake snow will last.
'Found these "Chinese" light bulbs many, many years ago. I thought they were really cool although I never tried to plug them in to see if they worked.
I love to bring them out at Christmas in different arrangements. The paint is beginning to wear on them, some more than others.
Did you ever buy something and had no idea what you were going to do with it. Well, that is what happened to me before Thanksgiving.
I went to a yard sale and found this bag of jute "curls". Not sure what they were used for, maybe doll hair.
Anyway, I kept thinking that I could do something with this curly jute, so I bought the bag. The price was right since it was only 50 cents.
We are heading to Vermont to have an early Christmas with the Children and Grandchildren. Snow is on the ground and we will be sled riding and snow shoeing. There's nothing like a Vermont trip this time of year to get me into the Christmas spirit.
My granddaughter can't understand why we don't have snow in Florida. She keeps asking, "do you have snow yet? " When I say, "no", she wants to know why. She is so cute!!
I finished all of my decorating before I left. Yea!!! 'Hope you are getting your Christmas decorating done. There have been so many great ideas posted on the link parties. Check out The Lettered Cottage for their Holiday Home Link Parties.

Rachael Talibart
Rachael grew up on the South Coast and studied at Southampton University. Her first career was as a solicitor in the City of London. After practising law for several years, she started training other lawyers and for seven years worked as a professional trainer, where she learned that she loves to teach. Since leaving the City, she has supplemented her LLB with a BA in English and an MA in Victorian literature and art. Much of Rachael's early childhood was spent at sea. This has left her with a life-long fascination for the ocean in all its forms, but especially in stormy weather, and her Sirens portfolio, photographs of monstrous storm waves named after mythological beings, has won several major awards and been published worldwide. Although Rachael travels widely, she retains a special fondness for the South of England. For Rachael, nothing beats a day on an empty shore, the wilder the weather the better, and this is reflected in her work. Rachael is the author of three photo books and she writes for photography magazines, including major technical features. Her photographs appear regularly in both print and online magazines and books, have been exhibited widely in the UK as well as Barcelona, New York and Massachusetts and appear in private collections internationally. Rachael was Black and White Photographer of the Year in 2018. Her Sirens portfolio was successful in the Professional Portfolio category of the Sony World Photography Awards 2018. Sunday Times Magazine Award winner, Landscape Photographer of the Year 2016. Classic View award winner, Landscape Photographer of the Year 2017.

Adrian Beasley
Adrian holds a degree in Digital Systems Engineering and spent his formative years working in software development in the Oil & Gas arena. However, an early encounter with a dark room at school planted a seed that would take nearly 20 years to germinate. Adrian started photography seriously in 1995 working through the City & Guilds courses with much of his early work created in the darkroom. In 2000, with the arrival of his daughter, the bathroom darkroom was closed for good. However, being a software engineer by trade, he decided to embrace software completely and sold all his darkroom equipment in exchange for Photoshop and a large format scanner and printer. In 2002 Adrian started teaching C&G photography courses. Within a few years he progressed to hosting intensive Photoshop and Lightroom courses. Adrian has achieved success in national competitions and exhibited and sold limited edition prints. In 2016 one of his pictures was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, selling all copies of the limited edition within 2 days. Adrian's deep knowledge of computers and software combines with an easy teaching style to deliver courses which are ideal for beginners through to advanced photographers.

DUNE was inspired by various natural shapes – sand-dunes, flowing water, fractality. The shelf is based on the principle of the Flower of Life and the Golden ratio that appeals to the human eye through its ideal proportion. The winding curves of the shelf seem spontaneous at first glance but actually the wave is based on an algorithm that reoccurs after every fifth span. The repetition is created by three elements with different shapes in both vertical and horizontal levels. The algorithm is not computer generated but created by the designer.
Material - 12 mm laminated birch plywood, waterproof. Colour white.
DIY- consists of 12-14 details, instruction included, wall mounting needed.
While designing the shelf the artist aimed to use material as waste free as possible, enabled by the placement of the details and perfect fit of the arcs that are cut out with a joint line for two elements. The spacious Dune can be used as a wall shelf or as a room divider. The shelf is easy to assemble according to instructions due to a dovetail joint and simple tablet fixtures.

An updated agenda with timings will be sent round closer to the time.


At the last Coffee and Conversation, UAPA Member Allison Pierce described her recently opened one-woman photography exhibit, Unsustainable. Her photographs emphasize unsustainable environmental landscapes -- photo journalism at its best! The show runs through January 28, 2012, at the Ohio Art League Gallery, 1552 N. High Street, next door to the Gateway Theatre.


We won an initial pitch last year to help Brantano evolve their store identity to appeal to all, new and existing customers.
We concentrated on the navigation hierarchy and added in high level navigation to help navigate to the 4 in store categories, Men's, Women's, Kids and Essentials. We added a soft 'on trend' grey paint at high level and a darker grey to break up the high level and merchandising. We worked on colour coding in store by adding a subtle brand pattern and relevant photography which feels inclusive and friendly. We added other features such as wardrobes which help break out the long bays which appear in the big box format stores synonymous with the Brantano brand.
The cash desk was completely overhauled with brand messaging and eye catching turquoise which is part of the new brand colour palette. Shoe care has been included into the area to aid after sales and keep the product together.
Although we haven't changed the fascia's at this stage the windows have been given a makeover with promotional stands to highlight product and simple window vinyl's to call out brand messages.
A new softer floor has been added which makes the store feel light and airy. Overall the store has evolved and is now easier to shop with more focus on customer navigation and messaging. We are now looking at roll out which will happen over the next year.


The BBC cancelled Ripper Street last year due to poor ratings but there will be a third season after all. Amazon has partnered with the BBC to revive the period crime drama. Filming of season three will begin in May.
The new season will be offered exclusively in the UK on Prime Instant Video before screening on BBC1 a few months later. Amazon's service will also stream the first two seasons.
The show airs on BBC America here in the States. The second season began airing on February 22nd. Based on the press release, I suspect that season three will be made available on Amazon first and will then be aired on BBC America. I'm sure additional details will be released in the future.
Amazon will commission from the producers, Tiger Aspect Productions and Lookout Point, a third series of Ripper Street, with brand new episodes made available exclusively to Amazon Prime Instant Video members. The series will continue to be co-produced in the US by BBC America and will screen on BBC1 a few months after it is available on Amazon in the UK. It will be distributed globally by BBC Worldwide. Filming will begin in May 2014, signaling Amazon's commitment to the production of one of last year's most highly regarded series, in a move that is sure to delight Ripper Street's huge global fan base.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that Ripper Street has been revived? Will you watch on Amazon's player or wait for it to become available elsewhere?
I'm searching (perhaps in vain?), for a date that Ripper Street will air on the BBC in 2015. Anybody?
I love this show…hard to find anywhere I bought first and second season from Amazon if the have season three available I will buy it also. I love the BBC shows!
How many episodes were there in the first season of Ripper Street. I would love to see season 2 and I am thrilled there is a season 3. I love all British detective shows and mysteries.
let me know when MacFayden's ripper season three will start. please I love his acting and the show.
I hope they will bring back ripper street on BBC soon as they can. Love this show. I also loved Copper very much also. wish they would bring that back too.
I discovered Ripper Sreet at Costco. I purchased season one & two on DVD. I went on the internet to try and find out if it is going to be shown on BBC America.From what I just read, I think it will. I just need to find out now what dates it will be shown.
Who are the THEY PEOPLE rating shows? What are they basing their opinions on those stupid reality shows? How come you never use people like me for ratings. This is one of the best TEN shows on air. You tv people waste a lot a lot of $$$ on producing nonscence.
I'll sign up for Amazom Prime. I just have figure out how. Ripper Street is a great show. My sincerest thanks!
i subscribed to amazon prime as soon as i heard the news———-thank you amazon.
Love Ripper Street – like the story line and characters. Please keep it on.
Great news – Season 3 for Ripper Street. Thankful BBC America will be showing Season 3 of this wonderfullly written series with it amazingly talented actors.
i am thrilled it is coming back, it was such a thriller. Someway along the line I did miss a few, is it possible that there is a way one is able to see the first ones right up to the new series???????????
I don't have access to cable where I live, so I watch all my programs on solarmovie. They have back seasons, even very old shows, as well as current. Good community of folks.
Really? They bring back Ripper Street but not Copper…really? Copper was a much better show! Seriously, I'm never watching anything on BBC America again (I stopped watching that channel after Copper's cancellation anyway).
I agree, Copper is such a good historical drama of early New York. I wish Amazon or Netflix would also pick up Copper. I think both shows are outstanding, and love historical dramas.

UK's medical authority approves two cannabis-based medicines
Two cannabis-based medicines used to treat epilepsy and multiple sclerosis have been approved for use by the UK's National Health Service (NHS), reports The Guardian. Guidance issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended the substances after examining cannabis-based products for several conditions.
Charities welcomed the move, but said thousands of other people who could benefit from cannabis-based medicines were left in limbo. NICE said people with chronic pain should not be prescribed drugs containing THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.
Millie Hinton, from the campaign End Our Pain, said in the report that the guidelines were "a massive missed opportunity" to prescribe medical cannabis for thousands of people with a range of conditions. "It is particularly devastating that there is no positive recommendation that the NHS should allow prescribing of whole-plant medical cannabis containing both CBD (cannabidiol) and THC in appropriate cases of intractable childhood epilepsy," she said.
The report says Epidyolex has been approved for two rare types of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndromes, while the spray Sativex has been recommended for muscle spasms in multiple sclerosis (MS).
A change in the law in 2018 made it legal for doctors to prescribe medicinal cannabis but many have been reluctant to do so, citing a lack of clear guidance. As a result families have gone abroad in search of treatment. The guidance also said further research was needed on cannabis-based medicines to treat other forms of epilepsy. About 8,000 to 9,000 people in the UK have Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndromes.
Hinton said NICE was focused on evidence from randomised control trials but medical cannabis was not always suited to these trials. "This restrictive guidance is condemning many patients to having to pay for life-transforming medicine privately, to go without or to consider accessing illegal and unregulated sources," she said.
The report says Simon Wigglesworth, the deputy CEO at Epilepsy Action, welcomed the decision to recommend Epidyolex. However, he said there were many thousands of people with other complex and treatment-resistant epilepsies who could potentially benefit from cannabis-based medicines. There was a lack of high-quality clinical evidence, he said, particularly around products that contain THC. "Though this is disappointing, we appreciate that clinical research is vital to ensure that any treatment recommended for use in the NHS is safe and effective," Wigglesworth said. "We are aware of ongoing efforts to bring forward research into cannabis-based medicines for epilepsy, including those containing THC, at pace."
The report says NICE also recommended Sativex to treat muscle spasms in MS, a common symptom of the disease. Genevieve Edwards, the director of external affairs at the MS Society, said the approval was "brilliant" but did not go far enough. "No cannabis-based treatments have been recommended to treat pain, a common symptom of MS," she said. "Additionally, because Sativex will be funded by local bodies – who might not have the resource they need to prescribe it – even more people could miss out." She said evidence showed cannabis-based treatments could help about 10,000 people with MS.

/Bodega del Fin del Mundo
Bodega del Fin del Mundo
Bodega Del Fin Del Mundo from Patagonia Argentina, one of the southernmost terroirs in the world, is proudly owned by Eurnekian Family Wine Estates.
"In every single wine from our estates, you will find our profound love, passion and respect towards nature" - Juliana Del Aguila Eurnekian, Owner and President.
Bodega Del Fin Del Mundo has been making wines since 2002 in San Patricio del Chañar, Neuquén Province, North of Argentine Patagonia.
Our 870 hectares of vineyards grow in the unique landscapes of this region, watered by the waters of the Neuquén River and with which we make unique wines that sublimate the essence of Patagonia, a land that is recognized for its beauty throughout the world.
The history of this valley begins in the 1970s with fruit tree plantations that breathed life into the area. In the 1990s, work began in the fields of San Patricio del Chañar in order to one day create high-end wines with their own identity, capable of seducing international palates.
A state-of-the-art irrigation system was implemented that is fed by the Neuquén River, allowing the miracle of life in the desert. In 1999 the first vines took root in the valley soils. We make the first wines of this region with grapes from the 2002 harvest, at which time the plants achieved the necessary maturity and balance. Since then, we seek year after year the best expression of Patagonia in each of our wines.
Our goal is to create wines that reflect the place we are in, full of sun and Patagonian freshness.

Ricardo Galante is Argentine, born on March 14, 1981, in the province of Mendoza. He studied oenology in his hometown, and since then he has embarked on a passionate journey through the world of wine. He took his first steps as a winemaker in Mendoza and from there his curiosity, concern and desire to learn led him to explore different terroirs around the world. He made grape harvests in Napa Valley, a region recognized as a producer of high quality wines, and in Bordeaux, France, guided by Michel Rolland: one of the most prestigious winemakers in the world. In 2011 he decided to return to Argentina and in that same year, he joined Bodega del Fin del Mundo, as chief winemaker. Since then, in love with Patagonia, Ricardo has kept his eye on creating wines that reflect the identity and freshness of this terroir.
