Pearson Milking Technology: "Quality needs to be superior"
This year Pearson Milking Technology won a government contract in Bangladesh to provide Herringbone parlours to military bases to support self-sufficiency in milk production. Dairy Global caught up with the managing director of Pearson Milking Technology, Lloyd Pearson to talk about growth, exports and the company's future plans.
Pearson Milking Technology was founded in 1948 by Eric Pearson, Lloyd Pearson's grandfather and has been going strong for the last 71 years. The company first started with the supply of milking buckets provided to dairy farmers, today the company provides different solutions and products for all types of dairy farming. Sales of milking parlours to export markets has grown rapidly over the last six years and currently accounts for nearly 50% of the company's total business.
The family-run business, headquartered in Athy, the Republic of Ireland, is currently in the hands of brothers David Pearson, export sales director and Lloyd Pearson, managing director. The brothers have taken over the business following the retirement of their father Alan Pearson last year. "We have taken on the reigns of the business and progress the business further to it's full potential," says Lloyd Pearson.

Dairy Global: Your markets include the UK, the Netherlands, Greece and Russia – how has Pearson Milking Technology achieved such growth over the years and what are the main driving factors?
Lloyd Pearson: Recently the Brexit situation has had an impact, Irish government agencies have pushed businesses to export to other markets. For us this means we are not reliant on the UK market, as the UK is a big market for us. This has given us a great push to find business opportunities elsewhere. Of course another factor is that the Irish are known for being good people to do business with!
In your opinion why is there such a growing international demand for Irish milking systems?
I think in general Irish made equipment is extremely good. We have a great engineering and technical background within the company and also with the universities in the country we have at our disposal, the future capability of Irish products is in good hands. We can solve the smallest issues that our customers have and I suppose Irish people generally work with a 'can do' attitude. I think once we know a product is suitable for any situation it can go anywhere and be exported anywhere in the world. Our range of our products allows us to suit any type of dairy unit. Whether it is a small family grazing farm or a large indoor unit we can supply a solution that meets the needs of all our customers. These are some of the drivers we know are behind us.
Which markets do you currently see the most growth in for Pearson – for example for milking parlours?
I see a lot of growth and expansion opportunities in South Asia markets. They are doing big investments in machinery and want to come up to European standards. A lot of the countries in South Asia have farms where milking by hand is common practice, which is quite labour intensive and like any country – they need labour but also good labour. So they want to be more machine based because sometimes good labour is scarce. Take for example the machines we placed in Bangladesh, they all have a high level of automation for collecting information on cow health and milk quality – this information is then sent back to management software. This is getting efficiency out of the farm, it is a farm management tool.

What demands do you see coming from farms?
Its more about herd sizes. Our products are spread around the world and it really comes down to the need in terms of herd size and labour. Like with some rotary parlours we have, it is a one man operation which may suit a family farm. In some countries, as I have mentioned, it's difficult to get labour and farm workers are often employed from other countries. We have designed a software that allows an option for many different languages. Take for instance a farm in the UK, the farm manager is English speaking but there are also other nationalities working on the farm like Lithuanian and Polish and each touchpad can be tailored to their language. Our milking machines come with 14 different languages. I also see demand for technology like this.
To get back to the Bangladesh contract that you won earlier this year, how has this changed things for Pearson Milking Technology?
We are always looking to export to other markets, and we know our product is good. And its good to go further than to just stay in the European countries. In Bangladesh we provided Herringbone Parlours to 10 military farms with herd sizes ranging from 600 milk cows to 2000 milk cows. The army in Bangladesh wants to be self-sufficient with milk. We found it easy to train managers – it is great that farm managers over there speak English – it makes training easier for us, they are then able to communicate the information to the machines operators. We also now intend to expand to neighbouring countries around Bangladesh.
Lloyd Pearson is currently managing director at Pearson Milking Technology, located in Athy, Republic of Ireland. Lloyd and his brother David Pearson (export sales director) have taken over the family-run firm following the retirement of their father Alan Pearson last year. Lloyd holds a Master's Degree in mechanical engineering. In previous years he was the production manager at the company before taking on the responsibilities as managing director last year.
What is currently being focused on in R&D?
Well I can't reveal too much about that! I can say a big trend we are looking at now is farm management, we are looking at different aspects of that – in terms of technology running the farm. Another important point for us is the interface between the operator and the machine, we are trying to make that quite easy so that it isn't a big deal to operate the machine. Basically to keep it simple but still have the relevant and necessary technology to support what we want. An example of this is – we were the first to bring out the traffic light system. On our big machines and rotaries there is the traffic light system. Its based on three colours red, blue and green. If the light indicates red it may mean that the cow has had antibiotics and it is a 'dump' cow. The blue light is the attention light, it may mean the cow is lame and the system will alert this. Green means all is good with the cow, it has good milk and all systems can go. We were the first to bring this system out. These are the types of R&D we look at.

What main aspects do you think farmers are looking for in milking technology?
I see that farmers want more information to run the farm more efficiently. But it should be simple to work with and easy to do. Because of high feed costs across Europe – farmers want to manage the high value items as well as low of course. But the bottom line is there should be no waste, farmers want to cut waste and increase efficiency on modern dairy units.
Are there more future plans to pursue new markets?
There definitely are! There are always new places – Africa is a new market we may look at as it's a huge market, places like South Africa and Kenya. We just started doing business in Canada, it's a market we've only just starting getting a feel for. We have done work in Egypt too and have also secured orders as far as Qatar.
What makes Pearson Milking Technology stand out from the crowd?
We have a great team who have good relationships with our customer base, this is very important because we have long term customers. I would say that quality is the priority for us. I believe our equipment and machines are very good quality which comes back to being Irish and being aware that quality needs to be superior.

For avid cyclists out there, how many times have you had to fumble with your iPhone to respond to a text, call or to check something? That can now change with the Kickstarter project, the Handleband (from the makers of the WINGstand).
Our phones help us navigate and train. They're our cameras, our lights, and our emergency link home. So why don't we use them with our bikes?
of uniting your smartphone with your bicycle.
Essentially the Handleband easily straps onto your bike handle and securely mounts your iPhone. It's also removable (or it can be permanent by strapping on two zip ties) and will work with any bike and any iPhone case. It won't cover your iPhone's camera or light plus it can also hold other objects, such as a flashlight. Plus–it's a bottle opener too (don't drink and ride!). The band even has a cut out to access your iPhone homescreen's dock.
With 14 days to go, the Handleband project has raised $52,299 (as of writing) and smashed through its initial funding goal of $12,000. Pledges for a Handleband starts at $25 (plus $10 extra for shipping outside the USA). Is this something you'd be interested in?
We've funded this project and will let you know how it is when it arrives! Check it out here over on Kickstarter.

The month of January was National Mentoring Month and it also marked my one-year anniversary as the program coordinator for San Juan Island Mentoring. As I look back on the past year I am amazed at what an extraordinary journey this has been. In my job as the program coordinator, I have enrolled elementary and middle school students, matched mentors and mentees, recruited and trained awesome volunteers, went on a geocaching field trip, wrote a monthly newsletter, and threw two bowling and pizza parties. I work closely with the elementary and middle school counselors and have seen first hand the dedication and support they provide for the youth that they serve. I have other roles at the Joyce L. Sobel Family Resource Center, previously known as the San Juan Island Family Resource Center, but I can easily say that the mentor program is the most fun. I love reading the activity logs that the mentors provide and being able to picture the mentors and mentees having fun doing things like: eating ice cream (a program favorite); playing board games; swimming; boating; bowling; ice skating; geocaching; hiking; bonfires and s'mores; Nerf wars; building a soapbox racer; baking; sewing; painting; reading; roller blading; biking; eating in restaurants; chatting about life; going to the animal shelter (another program favorite); beachcombing; hanging out at the library; attending high school and middle school plays; the performance of "The Nutcracker" by the Salish Sea Ballet; going to the San Juan County Fair; and the rainy day favorite – popcorn and a movie. I have been lucky to have a mentor later in life when I went back to school to pursue a college degree at the age of 38. My mentor talked me off a ledge over algebra, showed me how to think critically, and taught me how to believe in me. Nearly 10 years later when I am stressed I ask myself, "What would my mentor say?" and I hear her voice in my head say something like, "The decisions based in fear are the wrong decisions." And I instantly feel stronger. I can only imagine if I had her as a mentor when I was 10, I might have been the first woman president. Mentors change lives for the better, but many of my mentors share that they learn as much from their mentees as their mentees learn from them. It's a win-win. I feel lucky that I get to witness these wonderful relationships blossom and grow every day.

The Primary Versus the Caucus
Politics Dec 15, 2003 12:00 PM EST
Although the caucus was the original method for selecting candidates, it is now the least popular, with only 14 states and Washington, D.C., participating in them. The other 36 states hold primaries.
Although both select delegates, the process of the caucus and primary are radically different. The caucus requires voters to show up at polling locations where they will listen to speeches and debates sometimes lasting for hours. Voters participating in a primary must go to a polling place and cast a ballot.
Iowa's well-known caucus marks the beginning of the primary season. As the first election of the primary season, candidates concentrate on gaining support in Iowa, creating a huge media buzzleading up to the vote, which in 2004 occurs on Jan. 19.
Participating in a caucus requires more time than a primary. In Iowa, caucus participants will gather in high schools, living rooms and town halls across the state, and citizens will deliver speeches on behalf of candidates. An informal vote count will then be taken.
From there, the process continues at the state level: at a statewide convention, Iowa's delegates are chosen for the national convention.
Such additional time commitment is the caucus's major drawback; consequently, there is less participation in caucuses than in primaries. The Iowa caucus will typically attract 100,000 participants.
The caucus, however, encourages more intense voter participation in the nominating process than does a primary.
Florida adopted the primary in 1904 as a way to choose delegates, and within a decade many states followed suit. But it was not until 1969, when — in an attempt to increase citizen participation — the McGovern-Fraser Commission evaluated the process used to select delegates, that the primary won the popularity it enjoys today.
The sweeping changes made to the system led many states to switch to the primary, because more citizens were able to make the choice for delegates, rather than the state officials who had traditionally voted.
In a primary, as in a caucus, voters elect delegates who support their candidate choice, but the vote is taken by ballot and the process is similar to a general election. New Hampshire hosts the nation's first primary, held in 2004 on Jan. 27. The New Hampshire primary typically attracts 300,000 voters.
Rules for primaries and caucuses vary by state. Each state party uses its own rules for delegate selection, but those rules are subject to approval from the Republican National Committee or the Democratic National Committee and the state's election law. Usually, the state's legislature decides on the date and format for the primary or caucus.

(visited by Rod Kevill, Sandra Kevill, John Kevill and Mariane Kevill)
03-Oct-2004 -- We had completed two successful visits the previous day (28°S 117°E and 27°S 117°E) and were looking forward to more visits today.
We left Cue around 7.30am and drove north, refuelling at Meekatharra. We decided to bypass 26°S 118°E due to time restraints and continued on out the Mt Clere road. Whilst stopped for a morning tea break, a vehicle pulled up and the lady driving said she was going to a wedding at Mt Clere homestead and was wondering if we were heading the same way. We assured her we would keep a lookout for her in case of vehicle breakdown. Not far south of Mt Clere we encountered a family of emus (see photo). We arrived at Mt Clere at about 1.40pm and talked to Greg the station owner who said his son Daniel was about to be married at 4pm. The tables were laid out with white table cloths under the shade of enormous gum trees. He was happy for us to use the station tracks to get to the confluence point, and gave us directions as to the best route.
We headed off in a north east direction, crossing the Gascoyne River, and following the track to Stink Well. Continuing on to a point about 2km almost due south of the confluence, the country opened up into large flat clear areas, so we drove off the track directly towards the intersection. As we progressed, we converged onto a well-used track coming in from the south east and heading north directly towards the confluence, eventually passing with 45m of the point. We were able to park our vehicles directly on the confluence! I couldn't have wished for an easier visit - especially since today was my birthday!!
Having taken the usual photo set, we retraced our path back west, bypassing the homestead and continuing on to Landor station.

If you want the overall best and fast VPN then I'll suggest you to go with ExpressVPN. The best thing is you can try it 30 days for free by using the money-back guarantee they provide. Use the VPN for 3-4 weeks and then ask for the refund in chat and you'll your refund Instantly.
Express has 3,000+ high-performance servers in 94 countries, at 160 global locations all over the globe.

In other words, I am able to watch the Netflix catalogue of 30+ countries in Ultra HD quality.
Location of headquarter: ExpressVPN's headquarter is located in British Virgin Islands, a country which has no mandatory data retention laws which mean any government can't force ExpressVPN to keep a record of their users' data which is too good for privacy purpose.
Technology: ExpressVPN uses OpenVPN and IKev2 and L2TP-IPSec protocols, the first two are currently considered the most reliable security protocols. Just by the name, you can imagine how difficult it is to decrypt your data. And using this encryption it is able to unblock Netflix.
Streaming Services: I tried to test ExpressVPN with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, HBO Max, and other streaming services from different servers in the US, UK, India, and every time I was able to stream in Ultra HD.

But with ExpressVPN you can change your virtual location by simply changing the IP address and thus bypass the country- or organization-specific firewalls.
Support: ExpressVPN provides us 24*7 supports and whenever I face any problem with any of their servers and ask for their help, they connect as soon as possible which is better than most of the VPN services which I used in past.
Pricing: If we talk about its pricing then it comes with 3 options which cost $12.9/month in a 1-Month Plan, $8.32/month in 1-year plan, and $9.99/month in the 6-Month plan, and if you check my discount links then can get even cheaper.
Mode of Payment: Whenever we talk about VPN, the first thing which comes in our mind is privacy. And whenever we talk about privacy then it is the same for even our card and other banking information. By keeping this matter in mind ExpressVPN also allows you to pay even via cryptocurrencies.

Cardi B is proudly showing off a new piercing ... and the tattoo artist who gave it to her had no clue she was a huge celeb!!!
Luis Vega, the owner of City of Angels Tattoos, tells TMZ ... Cardi randomly walked into his shop Monday looking to get her lip pierced. Luis says he didn't know it was Cardi -- amazing, right -- until they started talking.
It's funny ... Luis thought he recognized CB's face, and initially figured she was just a former client. After Cardi told him she was from New York, Luis told her she looked and sounded like Cardi ... and that's when light bulbs started going off.
Luis slowly realized he was dealing with an A-lister, but his suspicions weren't confirmed until he poked his head outside and saw Cardi's entourage in a caravan of luxury cars.
As for the piercing ... we're told CB paid a whopping $25. What a steal!!!
Luis has been so inspired by Cardi's visit, he's honoring her the rest of the month with a special $20 piercing for anyone who comes through.

Il Mare (; lit. "time-transcending love") is a 2000 South Korean film, starring Lee Jung-jae and Jun Ji-hyun, and directed by Lee Hyun-seung. The title, Il Mare, means "The Sea" in Italian, and is the name of the seaside house which is the setting of the story. The two protagonists both live there two years apart in time, but are able to communicate through a mysterious mailbox.

The film was remade by Warner Brothers in 2006 as the American film The Lake House starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

The plot of the movie was also used in the 2015 Indian Kannada  movie Minchagi Nee Baralu.

Plot
There are two distinct time-lines intertwined throughout most of the film.

The story begins with Eun-joo moving out of a house by the sea called "Il Mare".  As she is leaving, she leaves a Christmas card in the mailbox, asking the next resident to please forward her mail to her.  Sung-hyun, an architectural student, receives her card, but is puzzled, since he is the first resident at "Il Mare" and the card is dated 2 years in the future.  After a series of back and forth correspondences, Eun-joo and Sung-hyun realize they are living 2 years apart, Eun-joo in the year 1999 and Sung-hyun in the year 1997.  After some testing, Eun-joo and Sung-hyun discover that the mailbox at "Il Mare" is enabling their communication and they can pass objects and living creatures through.

Utilizing the mailbox, Eun-joo asks Sung-hyun to retrieve a tape player she lost two years ago, which he gets for her.  After his estranged father, a noted architect, falls ill, Sung-hyun asks Eun-joo to obtain a book about his father, which she does. However, she succumbs to a minor traffic accident and while hospitalized, the book fails to reach Sung-hyun in time before his father's death. After reading the book, he finally accepts his father's love for him and takes up his architectural work once more.

As both Eun-joo and Sung-hyun continue their correspondence, they decide to try a date together, with each person participating in his or her own time.  Eun-joo "takes" Sung-hyun to an amusement park, where he follows her instructions on how to have a good time at the park.  Sung-hyun "takes" her to a restaurant where she drinks a bottle of wine he left for her two years prior.  Despite having a lot of fun on these solo "dates", they decide that they should try to meet in person.

Eun-joo and Sung-hyun plan on meeting in person at a beach two years in Sung-hyun's future.  However, when Eun-joo goes to the beach, Sung-hyun does not show.  She does see a house being built on the beach for an unknown architect's lover.  When Eun-joo tells Sung-hyun that he didn't come, he is baffled about why he didn't show up; he does not think he would have forgotten such an important date. Although Sung-Hyun does not meet Eun-joo at the agreed upon date, he still makes a trip out to the beach they agreed to meet.  He is moved by the beauty of the beach and decides to design a house for her on the very beach.  Sung-hyun may have wanted to show Eun-Joo his love for her, and even though somehow not being able to meet her on the future date, the designed house will show her that he is there at the beach.

At Eun-joo's workplace, she runs into her ex-fiance.  They were going to get married, but he moved abroad for work, while she stayed in Korea.  Due to the separation, they eventually broke up and he married another person; Eun-joo however still loves him.  This meeting was a shock to Eun-joo and in an act of desperation, she asks Sung-hyun to intervene and stop her fiance from leaving two years in the past.

Sung-Hyun after receiving the letter to intervene between Eun-joo and her fiancé from separating, is heart-broken.  Sung-Hyun is torn between his love for Eun-joo, and Eun-Joo's request to help her not to lose her previous lover.  After some long hard contemplation, Sung-Hyun against his own hearts desires, agrees to help her. Helping Eun-joo's request would be like tearing out his own heart, very similar to this quote from Javan, "When you truly know the meaning of the word love, you will also know the meaning of the word pain." Sung-hyun writes back wishing Eun-joo good luck to her and her fiancé in the future.

After receiving the heart-felt reply from Sung-hyun to help, Eun-joo decides to visit his architectural school. Eun-joo may have hoped to meet him in person and thank him somehow.  She finds the architectural department and is greeted by a friend of Sung-Hyun. Eun-joo asked for Sung-Hyun, but was told of a tragic accident.  Sung-Hyun was to meet a friend of his, but was involved in a fatal traffic accident 2 years ago.  Eun-joo suddenly realizes, on the day, she last met her fiancé before they separated, she also witnessed a car striking a pedestrian and killing him.  Sung-hyun was that very pedestrian and the house being built at the beach was designed by Sung-hyun for her.  She immediately rushes to the mailbox and sends a letter begging him not to go, also in hope that the message is received in time.

The final scene returns to the beginning of the movie, where Eun-joo is about to place her Christmas card into the mailbox at "Il Mare".  A stranger approaches her with a letter in his hand, the letter that Eun-joo sent warning Sung-hyun not to go to the meeting.  Sung-hyun did receive her warning letter and never went to intervene that day and was never hit by the car. Eun-joo and Sung-hyun finally meet.

Cast
 Lee Jung-jae as Sung-hyun, a young man who was the first tenant of the house. Living two years in the past of 1997, he begins as a construction worker for a large project. Although a talented architect, Sung-hyun has become critical of his talents, claiming he could not stand becoming a hypocrite.
 Jun Ji-hyun as Eun-joo, a young woman who has aspirations of becoming a voice actress. Throughout the film, we see that although she has obtained her dream, there is something missing in her life. Living in 1999, Eun-joo becomes the second tenant of the house and is only moving out as the film begins.

Location
The setting for the movie was shot on Ganghwa Island's Sukmodo, and Jeju Island's Udo.

Reception
This time-travel romance was not a popular success in 2000, selling less than a quarter million tickets in Seoul (upstaged by not only the similar-themed Ditto, but also the controversial Lies), but since then it has developed a loyal fan base a la Somewhere in Time and attained the status of a minor classic among Korean cinema fans.

Remake

Warner Brothers acquired the rights for an American remake, titled The Lake House, starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.  It  was released on June 16, 2006 and was co-produced by Sonny Mallhi, Amit Walia, and Chris Krapek. To reference the original movie, "Il Mare" was used as the restaurant's name where Kate and Alex are supposed to meet.

Discover Pathfinder with Crypt of the Everflame
December 25, 2016 December 30, 2014 by Ken Newquist
Cover art for Crypt of the Everflame by Paizo.Every hero's path to glory to starts somewhere. In The Crypt of the Everflame, a 32-page, 1st-level adventure for the Pathfinder RPG, that path begins with a centuries-old crypt and an initiation ceremony gone horribly wrong. As the characters – a group of village youths tasked with recovering a spark from the module's namesake flame – learn of the true threats they face, the players get the chance to learn the Pathfinder game.Crypt of the Everflame was written as a bridge module between D&D 3.x and Pathfinder. While it works well as a 1st level module, its real strength lies teaching D&D veterans the differences between it and Paizo's house system. It's a task the module does well, using encounters to explain new rules, such as combat maneuvers and turning damage, and highlighting more subtle changes, like newly-consolidated skills and changes to undead characteristics. It's exactly the sort of module my gaming group was looking for, and the sort of thing Wizards of the Coast should have released when D&D 3.5 came out.

Crypt of the Everflame was written as a bridge module between D&D 3.x and Pathfinder. While it works well as a 1st level module, its real strength lies teaching D&D veterans the differences between it and Paizo's house system. It's a task the module does well, using encounters to explain new rules, such as combat maneuvers and turning damage, and highlighting more subtle changes, like newly-consolidated skills and changes to undead characteristics.
It's exactly the sort of module my gaming group was looking for, and the sort of thing Wizards of the Coast should have released when D&D 3.5 came out.The module has one of the better starting adventure hooks I've seen: the heroes are undertaking their village's annual rite of passage. Their village elders have warned them that this is a dangerous, somber task that they aren't likely to survive. Little do the PCs know that their parents have already traveled ahead to the Crypt and nerfed many of its traps… or tried to. It turns out that something evil is stirring in the crypt, and slaughtered the adults sent to protect the kids… Now the kids are in over their heads, and have to deal with a very real threat.
My group loved the premise, and dove into the role of newbie adventurers. They liked uncovering the ways their elders tried to help, like stuffing pit traps with pillows or replacing killer arrows with blunt ones, and they riffed on the setup even harder during the second session when we decided to have a new player take on the role of one of the surviving elders.
The module begins with an overland prelude, in which the heroes battle illusionary orcs summoned by the village wizard (an unneeded red herring that I'd cut out in a second run through) traverse a treacherous ravine, and stumble across the corpse of a bandit. The ravine proved to be a good refresher on Pathfinder skills, particularly the "take 10" and "take 20" rule that let characters automatically succeed at their checks. A sidebar outlining those rules would have been helpful, but we muddled through. The slain bandit was a minor clue (promptly ignored by my group) that a band of thugs had been operating in the area, and might have their own interest in the crypt.
Experienced game masters looking to save time could ignore the prelude and jump straight to the crypt; while these introductory encounters are a useful way of introducing new players to the mechanics, cutting them out gives you a better chance of running the adventure in a single sitting.
The core of the adventure consists of a two-level dungeon seeded with classic monsters handpicked to illustrate key Pathfinder rules… and given a twist to keep things fresh. For example, one of the first encounters on the upper level is with bloody skeletons. These undead monsters illustrate Pathfinder's new turning damage rules, which eliminate the need to consult tables to see if a cleric's divine power drives away the undead in favor of straight-up damage. Characters can still use the old turning rules – which can scare or destroy undead outright – but need a feat to do so. It's a good change that speeds things up considerably, as the game no longer grinds to a halt so someone can look up rules when fighting undead. The skeletons also regenerated; that's not a new trick, but I liked that they weren't the standard pile of bones.
Other good encounters included bloat zombies, which explode in a cloud of disease-spewing gore when destroyed, and giant frogs, whose entangling tongues were perfect for demonstrating the new combat maneuver rules. Combat maneuvers replace the old, disparate trip/grapple/disarm rules from D&D 3.5 with a single, simplified system. It's perhaps the single best improvement to the d20 rules we encountered, and easily avoided 15 minutes of term searching and page turning.
The module's map is based on Paizo's Flip-Mat: Dungeon from its GameMastery line. I hand-drew the map, but having a pre-made one available for purchase is helpful for new GMs. The only flaw I ran into with the map was two staircases on the first level which didn't connect to anything above or below and weren't mentioned in the text It's a minor cartography error, but it did throw me momentarily while running the game.
The module's final encounter – against a Challenge Rating 4 re-animated warrior – was tough, far tougher than I'd anticipated. Part of this was because the warrior has a high combat maneuver bonus and penchant for disarming his opponents and part of it was because we had a less-than-optimal party with one cleric, a fighter and two sorcerers. The single biggest problem was likely that we hadn't been paying enough attention to experience and the heroes were underpowered when they reached the final fight (Level 1 instead Level 2). Finally, a CR 4 monster seems overpowered for a first-level adventure; CR 3 would have been more appropriate, particularly for an introductory adventure.
The end result was our first total party kill in years, but as one of my players said, it was the best TPK they'd ever experienced. That was due in large part to the Pathfinder rules, which kept things moving even when mixing in divine attacks from the cleric and frequent disarm attempts from the villain. It helped that these were throwaway characters that the players weren't attached to, but ultimately it was a credit to Paizo's design. The sense of evil and foreboding had been building throughout the adventure, and it wasn't really a surprise when the heroes found themselves slaughtered to a man. Other groups may be less forgiving of such disastrous turns, so GMs should make sure that their party's are rested and leveled-up before the final fight.
The Crypt of the Everflame is a solid introductory adventure, both for those new to role-playing games, and those considering making the jump from D&D 3.x to Pathfinder. The sidebars explaining rules were an inspired touch and helped my players – 8+ year veterans of D&D – understand the rules without spending 15 minutes arguing about them. The adventure's inspired hook provided my group with plenty of great role-playing opportunities, and while new players might not take advantage of them, mine certainly did.

New Crypto-Mining Malware Targeting Asian Firms With NSA Tools
A new form of malware is targeting enterprises in Asia to mine monero (XMR) cryptocurrency.
Cybersecurity software provider Symantec published the news in a blog post Wednesday, saying that over 80 percent of victims are located in China, with nations such as South Korea, Japan and Vietnam also seeing activity.
Dubbed "Beapy," the malicious code is a file-based crypto miner, not a browser-based one, the firm said. It works by sending a malicious Excel file to victims as an email attachment, downloading the DoublePulsar backdoor onto the victim's system if the file is opened.
DoublePulsar (notably developed by the U.S. National Security Agency before it was stolen then released to the public in 2017) was also used in the WannaCry ransomware attack in 2017, according to the post.
Once DoublePulsar is installed on to a victim's machine, the miner is downloaded. At the same time, it uses another leaked NSA tool, EternalBlue, to propagate across the infected network via unpatched computers where it can steal credentials to further access patched machines.
Cryptojacking malware can have a major impact on enterprises, Symantec said, including slowing down device performance, reducing employee productivity and increasing costs.
Although cryptojacking activity has decreased by about 52 percent over the last year, it is still an area of interest among hackers which largely target businesses.
Symantec said:
"Looking at the overall figures for cryptojacking, we can see that there were just under 3 million cryptojacking attempts in March 2019. While a big drop from the peak of February 2018, when there were 8 million cryptojacking attempts, it is still a significant figure."
The firm said it first noticed Beapy in January of this year, but activity has increased since early March.
Monero's privacy features make it by far the most popular cryptocurrency among hackers deploying mining malware. A recent academic study estimated that cybercriminals have mined around 5 percent of the total monero in circulation.
Earlier this year, researchers at cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks discovered a form of malware that takes administrative control to first uninstall cloud security products and then injects code to mine monero. The same team also discovered another variant that steals browser cookies and other information on Apple Mac computers to directly steal cryptocurrencies.

The Mosquito Control division operates a county-wide program, excluding the Air Force Bases and all state parks, which provides surveillance and spraying services to control mosquitoes in both the larval and adult stages.
Educational and abatement activities are also performed to control domestic mosquitoes to protect citizens from nuisance and health problems associated with large populations of mosquitoes.

Disease Vector Information:
Citizens can sign up for free disease vector information alerts via the following website: www.outbreak-alert.com. Surveillance information and reported cases disease can be quickly access via an interactive map. When a disease outbreak occurs, those who have signed up for the notification and live within a 250-mile radius will receive a text or email message to alert them of the potential threat.
Owners or caretakers who transport their livestock and want to stay abreast of disease threats in other parts of the country can enter multiple ZIP codes in the site's search field. If you sign up to the site, you will then be able to receive alerts for all areas selected.
Okaloosa County Mosquitoes:
Of the 80 mosquito species found in Florida, approximately 30 species can be found in Okaloosa County, and to the trained eye, each one looks as different as a poodle and a starfish. Adult mosquitoes vary widely in size, color, active range, feeding habits, larval ecosystem and range in length from 1/8 inch to 1-1/2 inches.
The Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) shown above, is common around homes since its invasion into Okaloosa County, and is one of the smaller mosquitoes. Unlike most other mosquitoes, they are voracious day biters. Most other species feed at dusk or dawn or if disturbed from resting in daylight hours. While Ae. albopictus is a huge nuisance; it deserves some credit for the control of malaria in Florida. Ae. albopictus competes with the malaria vector Ae. aegypti for breeding sites and has nearly pushed them out of the State. Other mosquitoes you may find in your yard or home are usually bigger than Ae. albopictus. Mosquitoes share similar habits, but each has a distinct lifestyle. Fortunately, not very many of these species are major pests or disease vectors.
Mosquitoes that carry diseases (referred to as disease vectors) that are commonly found in Okaloosa County are:
Genus Abbreviations – Aedes-Ae., Anopholes-An., Culiseta-Cs., Coquillettidia-Cq., Culex-Cx., Psorophora-Ps.
Dengue Saint Louis Encephalitis (SLE)
Ae. albopictus Cx. nigripalpus
Ae. aegypti Cx. quinquefaciatus
Malaria Cx. tarsalis
An. quadrimaculatus Ps. ferox
Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) West Nile Virus
Cs. melanura – infects birds not humans Cq. perturbans

If you live in Okaloosa County or anywhere in Florida, there is no way to escape contact with mosquitoes. Please use the information on this website to become familiar with these pests, your options for avoidance and County Control Measures. Please keep in mind, there is no way to completely eradicate the mosquito without irreparable harm to the environment.
The most prudent alternative to eradication is control. The Okaloosa County Mosquito Control District employs nine employees; one Director, two Foremen and six technicians. The District mosquito control measures are based on integrated pest management. The USEPA defined Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as follows: "IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment."

Cochin Port is a major port in the Arabian Sea – Indian Ocean Sea – route and is one of the largest ports in India. The commercial port of Cochin in South-East India is situated in a natural bay connected to Kerala's backwaters. It has the largest siltation rate among Indian ports: more than 20 million m³ per year. Siltation is pollution of water by fine particulate terrestrial clastic material. Siltation occurs mostly during the Monsoon (June-September) when both river discharges and ocean dynamics are high.
The need for continuous maintenance dredging has serious budgetary impacts for the Cochin Port Trust (COPT). Therefore Cochin Port Trust assigned Antea Group, IIC technologies and Stema Systems to collaborate on a study for the analysis of the siltation processes and to assess the feasibility to implement the nautical depth concept. The latter signifies to investigate the nature of the fluid mud seabed and determine to what extent vessels can sail through and manoeuvre in it.
establish and apply an operational measurement practice to implement the nautical depth and derive dredging volumes.
For the first part Antea Group sediment professionals took various measurements, such as waves, currents, tide, wind, salinity, bathymetry, sea bed composition, suspended sediment concentration and mud rheological properties. This data is used to feed a numerical 2D/3D model and help to simulate various hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and siltation processes. Understanding those processes will allow our experts to research causes of siltation and suggest remedies. In order to investigate the nautical implications of a new nautical depth criterion in the Port of Cochin, simulations are performed. For this part a special tool was used. A ship manoeuvring simulator especially equipped for manoeuvring in mud conditions in shallow ports (Flanders Hydraulics Research). After assessing the feasibility for a nautical depth for the Port of Cochin, monitoring and maintenance methods are investigated as well as the implications for dredging.

Internationally, approximately fifty percent of chemical engineers are employed in positions related to chemical product development and design. The aim of this module is to introduce students to the concepts behind chemical product design. This includes an introduction to the chemical product design method as well as the concept of management or decision gates in the process. This will include both educational and real world examples of how chemical product development takes advantage of fundamental aspects of chemical engineering including transport diffusion, chemical kinetics, interfacial phenomena and microstructure and flow.
Chemical product design approach and the four key aspects, different class of chemical products. Estimation of chemical product design specifications based on diffusion, reaction and transport phenomena. The role of surfaces in processing and materials manufacture. How to use a basic knowledge of interfacial phenomena to control the microstructure of a chemical product. At an introductory level, how inter-particle forces affect coagulation, dispersion and stability criterion as well as parameters that influence flow and gelation properties. The role of molecular additives in controlling dispersion and emulsion and stability in an applied framework, such as using HLB index.


Thanks so much Garrison. That was the nicest message I've gotten in a long time I'll be back up there soon I hope!
Are you kidding me Amy Fairchild? To sit and listen to you among a handful of VERY LUCKY people at 7 Central's, Manchester Mass Pub last week end was a freeze time moment for everyone.

I'm an old fart who saw you at the Turning Point in Piermont NY many moons ago. I still enjoy listening the your My Heart CD 10 years later. Wonderful music. I look forward to the release of your next CD. Thank you!!!!
Have you eve thought of recording a children's music album?


Nestled in the Smoky Mountains above the blinking neon lights of the main street of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, I carefully walk up the narrow, dark, paved path to the White Oak Flats cemetery. The distant sounds of traffic and the din of a sultry, summer Sunday night waft up from the street below. I take a deep breath, wipe the beads of sweat from my brow and follow the guide single file up a narrow path between weather worn aged gravestones.
But wait. . . . . This is the last stop on the tour — let's start at the beginning.
There's lots of ghosts in these mountains.
Being a fan of ghost tours, I was delighted to see the flyer for "Ghost and Haunt Tours" at the Sevierville, Tennessee Welcome Center. I called for reservations for Sunday night and gave my credit card number to hold our spots. We arrived at the Smokey Mountain Resort in Gatlinburg and joined a group of about 25 people. John was the tour guide that night. He started off giving an overview of the tour and explaining how orbs may show up in digital pictures. He instructed us to take a picture of the blank wall of the hotel. Many of us saw orbs immediately but, as John pointed out, some are not visible until uploaded into the computer.

John also instructed us to take multiple pictures because sometimes the orbs will appear in one picture but then not in another. I experienced this in the following pictures of the church where one picture showed a couple of orbs but then the second picture showed no orbs at all.
As we moved on, he told stories about the settling of Gatlinburg, the people who lived in the valley, the lumber industry and the ghosts that haunt these beautiful mountains. One of the reasons that I enjoy ghost tours is that it is a great way to learn about the history of the location and not just what you read in the history books.

As we traveled through the back streets and dark alleys of Gatlinburg, John told us that sometimes the scariest thing about the tour is when they come across a bear scrounging for food behind the restaurants. Thankfully, there were no bears on our tour though John did point out a bear-proof trash can that looked like it had been tampered with prior to our arrival.
The tour ends in the old White Oak Flats cemetery on the hill above the bustling tourist-filled streets of Gatlinburg. Carefully make your way down the path where you can stop for an ice cream or a snack and a beer before walking the half mile back to your car.
On your next trip through the Smokey Mountains be sure to reserve an evening for the Ghost Tour, it's well worth it and a great way for the family to spend an evening together.
Wear comfortable walking shoes. The tour is about 1 mile over uneven surfaces, dark alleys, and narrow streets.
Be sure to bring water especially if it is hot. You need to be well hydrated for the walk. There's a gift shop at the hotel for last-minute purchases.
Take advantage of the facilities at the hotel before starting on the tour.
Bring your camera. They guarantee paranormal activity with orbs in your photos. On my tour, I was not disappointed.
If you are staying in Sevierville or Pigeon Forge, allow an hour for travel time to the Smokey Mountain Resort in Gatlinburg – the tour's starting point.

Thanks Kerry. Maybe we can catch that tour the next time I'm over your way.


PPC or Pay-Per-Click marketing is a digital marketing strategy businesses use on various relevant advertising platforms, to promote their services and products. Paid marketing techniques such as these bring in immediate results and many people feel that they are more effective than organic marketing techniques such as SEO. However, it's best to use PPC in conjunction with any other digital marketing techniques that you are using.
The primary reason for using this type of advertising is that it helps you meet your business goals as well as marketing targets. Every company will have different goals such as brand exposure, expanding their reach etc. PPC is an extremely powerful tool that can help attract traffic to meet the goals of your business. Regardless of whether you are looking to optimize sales, improve lead generation, optimize conversions, or increase brand promotion and brand recognition, PPC is a great way to go.
One of the major benefits of using Google Adwords in PPC advertising is that it gives you the functionality to track the performance of the campaign. When you use Adwords in tandem with Google Analytics, you are able to measure clicks, impressions as well as conversions and plan your campaign accordingly. This means you are able to easily compare spend and gains with reference to your business goals.
If you are a new entrant into the market and analyse and research market conditions, you may notice that competition is very tough. However, when you choose to use PPC, it gives you the boost you need to gain visibility in the crowded online space. It also helps you compete with more well-established businesses, and gives you a certain market presence while your SEO strategies start to bring in results.
Almost 90% of startups incorporate a certain amount of PPC into their online marketing efforts, in addition to the SEO techniques. PPC advertising also provides you the flexibility to spend as much as you want to, based on a budget at any given point of time.
In organic marketing, there is a very limited scope for making changes. However, in PPC, you have the freedom to choose the different keywords you want, edit live campaigns, as well as manage relevant audiences, scale up or scale down your budget or even completely stop a campaign as per your requirement.
As mentioned at the outset, PPC works in tandem with any other digital marketing techniques you may be using such as SEO. Pay-Per-Click is a great way to expand your reach, keep your brand visible and give your business that boost it needs every now and then to make a mark in the space you operate in.
Today, most small businesses invest in PPC as and when they feel the need for some instant results in sales. You can hire the services of a skilled marketer to plan your campaign for you in order to bring in optimum results.

El pico Triple Divide (, lit., 'pico [de la] Triple Divisoria [hidrográfica]'), es un pico estadounidense que se encuentra en la cordillera Lewis, parte de las Montañas Rocosas. Tiene un altitud de  y una escasa prominencia de solo . El pico es un accidente del parque nacional de los Glaciares en el estado de Montana. La cumbre del pico, el vértice hidrográfico de la América del Norte continental, es el punto en el que convergen dos de las principales divisorias continentales de América del Norte, la divisoria continental de las Américas y la divisoria Laurentiana, siendo un triple punto oceánico, el único existente en el mundo.

Hidrografía

El pico se caracteriza porque el agua que cae en la cumbre puede fluir a tres océanos, ya sea al Pacífico, al Atlántico o al Ártico (siempre que la bahía de Hudson se considere parte del Ártico).

Solo otro continente (Asia) limita con tres océanos, pero el área de las cuencas endorreicas que drena hacia el interior del Asia Central —desde el oeste de China hasta los mares de Aral y Caspio— es tan vasta que los afluentes del Ártico y del océano Índico nunca están muy próximos unos de otros. Por ello América del Norte es el único continente que tiene un triple punto oceánico, siendo el pico Triple Divide un caso único en el mundo. (Algunas fuentes, sin embargo, consideran que si se estimase que la bahía de Hudson es parte del Atlántico, ese honor le correspondería al Snow Dome, parcialmente en el parque nacional Jasper, en la frontera de las provincias canadienses de Alberta y de la Columbia Británica).

Los recorridos que hacen las aguas caídas en el pico Triple Divide, según sea la vertiente, son las siguientes:
 La lluvia que cae en el lado suroeste del pico alimenta el arroyo Pacific, que a su vez desagua en el arroyo Nyack, el Middle Fork del río Flathead, el propio río Flathead que drena a través del lago Flathead, el río Clark Fork hacia el lago Pend Oreille, el río Pend Oreille y el río Columbia que desemboca en el Pacífico cerca de Astoria, Oregón (a unos 830 km en línea recta desde el pico).

 La ladera norte de la montaña vierte sus aguas en el arroyo Hudson Bay, que luego acaba en el arroyo Medicine Owl y en arroyo Red Eagle. Sigue por el lago Saint Mary, que alimenta al río St. Mary, que a su vez desemboca en el río Oldman, el río Saskatchewan Sur, el río Saskatchewan y el sistema del lago Winnipeg, drenado por el río Nelson que desemboca en la bahía de Hudson (a unos 1680 km del pico).

 Las lluvias caídas en las laderas sureste alimentan el arroyo Atlantic, que a su vez se incorpora al North Fork de Cut Bank Creek, el arroyo Cut Bank, el río Marías y el río Misuri que se une al río Misisipi antes de desembocar en el golfo de México, parte del Atlántico, cerca de Nueva Orleans (a unos 2820 km del pico; de considerarse el triángulo de las tres desembocaduras (Astoria, Nelson, Nueva Orleans) los lados serían, respectivamente, de 3450, 2170 y 3010 km.)

Geología

La cordillera de Lewis se formó en el cabalgamiento Lewis, hace unos 170 millones de años, cuando una enorme losa de roca precámbrica se derrumbó y se deslizó sobre rocas más jóvenes del período Cretácico .

HAVE YOU MET MS BLACKWELL?
She's our new librarian.
Julie Blackwell comes to us from the classroom side - she was previously a 2nd grade teacher at Laurel Hill and before that, Belle Hall, but her very first job was right here at JBE where she taught the 4th grade many years ago!
When asked why she wanted the Teacher Librarian position, her face lit up and she said she LOVES BOOKS and she LOVES KIDS. So it's pretty much a dream job and perfect fit.
She has so many grade-specific things planned for this coming year like folk singers and special authors that will come for a visit.
Then she said something about "I'm working on a little surprise too but I'm not telling yet!" We love the intrigue! Tell us NOW! :)
Ms Blackwell is also getting the JBE News Team selected and back on air in September!
Last week Ms Blackwell asked for tissues and some help shelving, and in the future she'll need some readers to come in. Stay tuned for ways that you can help support Ms Blackwell and our kids!
She loves JBE!

Technological University submission a significant education milestone
RONAN FAGAN Athlone Advertiser, Thu, Nov 26, 2020
A transformational development for education within the Midlands region, plans for the opening of a new technological university on the Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT ) campus in September 2021 have progressed following confirmation that the AIT-LIT consortium has formally submitted its application to Government.
The institution is expected to comprise a student population of up to 15,000 and a staff complement of approximately 1,200 people across six campuses in Athlone, Limerick (two ), Clonmel, Ennis, and Thurles.
An economic impact study commissioned by the consortium has found that the combined impact of the two institutions on the Irish economy is close to €420 million euros in economic output, while they support more than 800 jobs in addition to their own staff complement.
The consortium, which formally commenced in October 2019, has targeted a date of September 1 2021 for the new university to open and is embarking on a broad consultation process to name the new technological university.
"This is a transformational development for the Midlands, and once it comes to fruition, it will provide significant social and economic benefit to communities across the region and beyond. Becoming a TU will broaden access to higher education and create opportunities in areas that have previously been underserved with respect to apprenticeships right through to PhD.
"I am immensely proud of the progress that have been made since the formation of the AIT–LIT consortium a little over a year ago and of our staff, who have worked together in the spirit of common purpose to share knowledge and expertise. This has culminated in us reaching and surpassing the substantive TU metrics set out by Government and increasing our research capacity. Our commitment to our technological mission is resolute and will result in a talent pipeline of professionally and technically skilled graduates capable of propelling regional and national growth," AIT President, Professor Ciaran Ó Catháin, remarked, upon confirmation of the application submission.
Lauding the welcome development, Town Mayor, Cllr Aengus O'Rourke, noted that the formal TU application submission was a significant milestone for third level education within the Midlands region.
"I am delighted to welcome the good news that both Athlone and Limerick Institutes of Technology have achieved yet another significant milestone en route to becoming Irelands latest Technological University.
"The beneficial impact that this merger will realise for both Athlone and Limerick educationally and economically is immeasurable.
"A vast amount of work which has been afforded to this project from an AIT perspective is to be highly commended, so I want to congratulate the governing body of the institute for driving this consortium initiative and for seeing it through to this significant milestone. The consortium hopes to see the new Technological University open its doors on September 1, 2021, and I wish them well with their plans in this regard.
"This development is another major step in the right direction for Athlone as the designated regional growth centre for the wider Midland's region. TU status will see more people working and studying at AIT, soon to be called ALTU. This increased capacity and scale will lead to more economic activity both directly and indirectly," Cllr O'Rourke commented.
Echoing similar sentiments, constituent elected representative, Fine Gael Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, noted that a "world class level of education in key sectors" would now be available to intending third level students in the Midlands region.
"This is fantastic news for the wider Midlands area. We have seen AIT go from strength to strength, and TU status will mean that we can truly offer world class education in key fields on our doorstep here in Westmeath. This will be a huge development for our region, and will mean more and more students and graduates can continue their studies in this locality, without having to travel to Dublin or sacrifice any element of their learning in the process. Graduates from AIT are highly sought after from employers all over the country and this new status will strengthen this employability even more," Deputy Burke asserted.
Government colleague and fellow Minister of State, Deputy Robert Troy, stated that the TU submission application was the realisation of long held ambition of which he was wholly supportive.
"The TU status uniquely provides higher education programmes across all levels of the National Framework of Qualifications from apprenticeships to doctoral degrees and brings with it many opportunities for students, staff, employers, enterprise and for the wider local and regional communities.
"I want to thank the President and staff of AIT for all they have done so far to deliver this application. The leadership and commitment to world class education is to be commended," Deputy Troy remarked.
Affording her congratulations, local Sinn Féin Deputy, Sorca Clarke, in noting the extra challenges which the year has accrued, commended the diligent and cohesive work ethos of the AIT-LIT consortium and expressed her aspirations for a positive TU status outcome.
"I would like to offer my congratulations to the AIT-LIT Consortium and the staff in both institutes for their hard work since October 2019. Considering the extra challenges this year has brought, to be on course for a September 2021 opening as Ireland's next Technological University is a remarkable achievement. I note the consultation process to name the new Technological University commences this week and I look forward to discovering the outcome," Deputy Clarke concluded.
