Paul O'Donovan, Fintan McCarthy and Sanita Puspure named Afloat Rowers of the Year
Ireland's two world champion crews of 2019 are the Afloat Rowers of the Year. Sanita Puspure defended her title in the women's single sculls, while Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy proved themselves the best lightweight double in the world.
Paul O'Donovan's fortitude, ambition, self-belief and professionalism make him the best male rower to come out of Ireland and one of the greatest sportsmen. Teamed up with his brother, Gary O'Donovan, he led the country to its first Olympic rowing medal in 2016, and the two went on to win World Championship gold in the lightweight double in 2018.
The year 2019 was different. Gary broke a bone in his wrist early in the year and took months to recover. The competition for the doubles spot with Paul O'Donovan was hot: the picture above shows the winning triallists, Fintan McCarthy and Paul O'Donovan just after they crossed the line and secured the coveted gig. They competed in the final World Cup in Rotterdam: in an amazing race with Germany they were beaten for the gold by three hundredths of a second despite having stopped while Paul flipped Fintan's errant stroke coach back into the boat.
The World Championship final was – astoundingly – even more dramatic. Paul O'Donovan scoffs at those who say his crews start slowly. The statistics generally back him up. But in Linz-Ottensheim, Paul and Fintan were two and a half seconds down on the field (just over a length) at 500 metres. Italy and Germany looked strong and in command ahead of them. Could the men in green come back and still be there at the end? Even knowing the outcome, the video is a thriller. Through the second quarter, the Ireland unit outpaces every other crew; by 1300 metres they have shot into the lead; they build on that advantage to win by the margin by which they were behind 1500 metres before. As Paul and Fintan chatted to media after the race, Italy's Pietro Ruta – he of the flowing beard – lay sprawled and virtually motionless in the media area. Silver was his, but his crew had yielded to the all-conquering Irish.
The World Championships saw the Ireland women's pair of Monika Dukarska and Aileen Crowley qualify the boat for the Olympics, the men's double of Phil Doyle and Ronan Byrne sweep to silver, while Katie O'Brien took the bronze medal in the PR2 pararowing final.

Sanita Puspure topped it all. A year in which her competition was curtailed as she spent time with her dying sister Inese became a year in which she showed what a wonderful, inspiring, athlete she can be. The women's single sculls at the World Championships might well have been all about the comeback story of New Zealand's Emma Twigg. Self-exiled in order to study, she had paid the price of falling away from competition. Fourth at the Olympic Games in 2016, she roared back in 2019 to win the World Cup regattas in Poznan, Poland and Rotterdam. In the World Championships semi-final, Twigg hung on to Puspure and took second; in the final she blasted out into the lead and held it till the final quarter, only to see Puspure flash past to win well. For Puspure it had been four races, four wins, four demonstrations of her command.
Sanita Puspure, Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy are the Afloat Rowers of the Year 2019.

World Champions O'Donovan, McCarthy and Puspure are Rowers of the Month
#Rowing: The two crews which won gold for Ireland at the World Championships, the lightweight men's double of Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy and single sculler Sanita Puspure, are the Afloat Rowers of the Month for August.
The month was quite extraordinary. The Ireland double of Philip Doyle and Ronan Byrne qualified their boat for Tokyo at the World Championships in Linz-Ottensheim and then went on to take silver with an assured, technically impressive, performance in a gripping final; the women's pair of Aileen Crowley and Monika Dukarska secured qualification with second in their B Final, eighth overall, well within the 11 places allotted for Tokyo. Along with the two gold-medal boats, this brought the Ireland complement for the Olympic Games to four, a record in the era of boats having to qualify through set competition.
The Championships had also been a joyful one for Katie O'Brien. She took Ireland's first medal, a bronze, in the PR2 single sculls on her 23rd birthday.
Ireland crews came up just short of podium finishes at the Coupe de la Jeunesse and the World Junior Championships. Back in Ireland, the two Coastal Rowing Championships generated fine entries and plenty of excitement.

The pressure was on Sanita Puspure and the lightweight double in Austria. Puspure's year was affected by family bereavement. She was defending a title in a keenly-contested category. Looking back, her achievement can seem pre-ordained – it was not. She won her early races by big margins, consigning former Olympic champion Mirka Topinkova Knapkova to a distant second in her quarter-final. And then came the semi-final. Emma Twigg of New Zealand had made no secret of her ambition of ousting her friend from her eminent position. Puspure never let her get the chance, outpacing her in each of the four quarters. The final, on September 1st, would see Twigg try to win from the front. It was desperate stuff, and Puspure, knowing she had the resources to do it, waited her out and rowed through her.
Nominally, the Ireland lightweight double were defending their title. But this was a new combination, with Fintan McCarthy coming in to partner Paul O'Donovan. The finish of their semi-final was nail-biting, as three boats (Ireland, Germany, Norway) were covered by .69 of a second. In the final the feeling of jeopardy lasted the whole race. Ireland had a poor first quarter, which left them trailing the field, produced a ridiculously good middle thousand in which they passed Germany and Italy, and then gritted it out to take a clearwater win. The exhaustion – physical, mental – of the second-placed Italy crew of Pietro Ruta and Stefano Oppo after the race was affecting. They looked like they could not process what had happened to them.

Puspure Talks of Highs and Lows of Extraordinary Season
#Rowing: Sanita Puspure says it was harder to defend her World Rowing Championship title that it was to win it for the first time. "Mentally I think [it was harder]. Everyone is looking at you. You're the one to beat and you're like 'oh stop now' but that's what it was. You just try to ignore it as best you can."
Puspure, an ambassdor for Indeed, the partner of Team Ireland, was speaking in Dublin after her win in the singles sculls at the World Rowing Championships in Austria. She also qualified the boat for the 2020 Olympic Games.
The world champion spoke about the programme which has brought her along. "We have a really good nutritionist, Sharon Madigan, working with us, making sure we're fueling properly for the loads we're doing. That's made a massive difference. I used to get ill quite a lot while training whereas now I occasionally get a head cold. The training is way more consistent."
Her competition schedule during the summer was hit by the illness and subsequent death of her sister Inese. Puspure competed at the European Championships (she won), but missed the final World Cup regatta in Rotterdam.
"(Inese) was getting worse rapidly, so I went over for a few days and then I was home for a little bit. And then I was in Latvia for three weeks and she passed away the same week the World Cup was on.
"It was scary because I had very mixed emotions. I thought I should be at home training but at the same time, I wanted to spend some quality time with my sister because I knew she was going to pass away soon.
"It was really hard being so conflicted within myself and not knowing what to do. Because of that, the medal has very high value. And we just needed something nice to happen."
She paid tribute to her sport pyschologist, Kate Kirby.
"Even if it was just to seal the qualifying place, I should be happy with that. And there were times when I thought if I just qualify I'll be fine. But then a few hours I'll be 'no I won't be fine, I don't want to just qualify. I want to repeat what I did last year or even just get on a podium.' It was a difficult time but I'm really glad we got on the other side of it."
The new programme in this Olympic cycle also capitalised on the strengths she had and built her self-belief, which had not always been strong.
"Yeh, I think a bit of a lack of self belief, definitely." She was lucky to have "great physiology" but it may have been better technique and the "harsh training we started two years ago that really kind of gave the confidence".
She also paid tribute to her family and her supportive team-mates.

O'Brien Takes Medal and Puspure Shines as She Books Tokyo Place for Boat
#Ireland had a special hour here at the World Rowing Championships in Austria, featuring a medal and another wonderful performance by Sanita Puspure, which booked a place for her boat in Tokyo, following the qualification of the men's double and lightweight double.
The medal came through Katie O'Brien, who celebrated her 23rd birthday by taking bronze in the women's PR2 final. Kathryn Ross of Australia was outstanding in taking gold, while O'Brien persisted through a tough race for her and gave Annika van Der Meer of the Netherlands a contest for the silver medal coming up to the line.
O'Brien would hope to compete in the Paralympic Games, but this requires her to find a male partner with a similar disability of the lower limbs.
Puspure won her semi-final of the women's single sculls, and qualified for the A Final, with the added bonus of a place in the top nine and thus a Tokyo place for this boat. The line-up was filled with quality: in particular, New Zealand's Emma Twigg would have targeted beating the Ireland sculler.
After a close first quarter, Puspure steadily extended a small lead into over a length by the final 500 metres. She would not be headed from there. Twigg took second and Carling Zeeman of Canada third. Local favourite Magdalena Lobnig lost out.
Kara Kohler of the United States won the first semi from Vicky Thornley of Britain and Jeannine Gmelin of Switzerland.

Puspure Wins in Second Fastest Time of the Day at World Championships
#Rowing: Sanita Puspure won her heat of the single sculls at the World Rowing Championships in Linz with plenty to spare – and still set the second fastest time of the day. Laila Youssifou of the Netherlands took the second qualification spot for the quarter-finals, but she provided little challenge to the reigning champion, who was well clear.

Sanita Puspure is Afloat Rower of the Month
#Rowing: The Afloat Rower of the Month for June is Sanita Puspure. The world champion in the single sculls became the European champion with a gutsy performance in the final at Lucerne.
Puspure pushed into the lead after just 500 metres and was still leading at the finish. The home challenge, in the shape of Jeannine Gmelin closed to within less than a second of Puspure at the line but could not get past her. Mirka Topinkova Knapkova of the Czech Republic, the 2012 Olympic champion, showed outstanding speed in the last 500 metres to finish third.

TB Treatment Closer
Three years ago, tuberculosis (TB) became the joint lead as the world's deadliest infectious disease - neck and neck with HIV/AIDS.
In Papua New Guinea (PNG), the epidemic is such that the government has declared a state of emergency in several provinces. With an estimated 30,000 new cases in 2016, expanding and improving TB care in PNG is an uphill battle.
Patients travel for hours or even days to reach clinics, using a combination of dinghies, cars and walking.

Long a symbol of love and beauty, flowers have never gone out of style. Yet, some flower colors, varieties and designs are especially popular among more tasteful gift_givers and decorators. So, while the best advice may be to follow your own taste and sensibility, here's what experts predict will be cutting edge this year for fashion conscious flower lovers everywhere.
A gift basket is fun to put together and even more fun to give. All you need to do is find a basket or a Christmas container and put a few things in it. Some things that you could put in the gift basket include, a bud vase with a single flower, such as a red Gerber daisy, rose, or lily, a Christmas movie, a Christmas book, Christmas tree ornaments, holiday cookie cutters, and/or treats. First attach the bud vase in the container with floral clay. Then, if you use a wicker basket, use some festive Christmas tissue paper or other pretty paper to line it. Last arrange the gift items in the basket so it looks pretty and appealing. This would make a great gift for a coworker, teacher, sibling, or that person who just seems to have everything.

There's Something Special About South American's…
TOPICS:Fernando ForestieriRicharlisonWatford FC
Posted By: David Robinson 25/10/2017
There's something special about South American footballers, whether that be the tenacity of Alexis Sanchez or the memorising skill of Neymar, whenever a player comes from such a long distance away with English often not in their vocabulary, they possess all of the ingredients to become a fans favourite.
A lot is often said about the necessity of having a British core to a squad, for every Burnley that relies on its British unit is a multi-national squad that can be equally together, like my club Watford who featured nine different nationalities at the weekend. And that group of players are together as one, so to suggest the need to have English players like many have thrown at Watford in previous years is a myth, no matter what nationality or background, it's all about the individual and teams character.
Past and present, my favourite players have been from South America, Fernando Forestieri became a fans favourite at Vicarage Road for embracing the club as his own, there's something that really creates a bond between player and crowd when a man born in Rosaria, Argentina for example seems to love the club just as much as you. The growth of social media and increasing media exposure allows fans to get to know their players more, this of course played a part in increasing Forestieri's popularity with his almost child like antics off the pitch helping to create a connection come Saturday, this is important for fans because we know we can't rely on results going well but when there's a feel good factor it goes a long way.
Of course this is not black and white, many South American players will not have the same passion, vigour or flare out on the pitch but certain forwards can really entertain and that helps. You never knew what Forestieri was capable of, for good or bad, either way something was going to happen. You simply don't get this with English players, any flair or technique has been coached out of them and replaced by hard work and physical prowess instead. That's what makes South American's more special.
And now to Richarlison, a player with a story always helps, from the streets of Brazil to the riches of the Premier League, that willingness to see an underdog succeed creates a desire to see that player fulfil their dreams. Richarlison would not have heard of Watford but he sure has embraced the club, he plays with the mindset of a fan with non-stop running, a never say die attitude, and that Brazilian flair that means he is a real joy to watch technically.
As I've mentioned, it isn't simply about being South American, football fans love to see players playing just like they would if given half the chance. Knowing someone that is from such a different culture thousands of miles away who can embrace your passion adds to it all and along with the tenacity and iconic style of South Americans makes it extra special.
Does the nationality help when it comes to being a fans favourite? Let us know your thoughts on this discussion in the comments below!

I made this card for the CAS08 sketch challenge on Split Coast (Clean and Simple). I used this beautiful soft accordian ribbon from Taylored Expressions and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink Mega Mixed Messages set. The felt and crocheted flowers were given to me by my good blogging friend 'itsapassion' (thanks Anne!) so I don't know where they are from.
Clean and simple card - clean and simple post! Good night all ! thanks so much for coming by today!
Eat Your Veggies and Let the Earth Rejoice!
So - I'm multi-challenging again - I'm behind on the last two weekly Doubledog Dare Challenges that I do with a group of friends on Split Coast - so I scoured Just PaintingAround - Featured Stamper Michelle's gallery to see if there was something that would fit!
And I found this tag card. I changed the colors and stamps used - but kept her fun design.
And I incorporated Charlene's (LilLuvsStampin) Double dare challenge to make a tag and use green on it - and Michelle's (sf9erfan) 1-2-3 challenge - to use 1 designer paper, 2 ribbons, 3 brads.
So here we are with an 'Eat Your Veggies' tag. These fun stamps are from a new company called Two Scoops Rice Designs.
We'd love to have you play along with our Doubledog challenges - just post your card on Split Coast using the Keyword DDC. You can see all the Doubledog challenge cards here.
I've combined 4 challenges in this card (don't you just love when you can work that out!?!?!) The Limited supply challenge on Split Coast this week was to use just black & white (silver is ok too).
I used Taylors Sketch and I used ribbon tabs and mixed stripe and pattern designer paper which are the last two of Sharon's stamp simply challenges .
My stamp is from a Verve Visual set called Everlasting Life and my designer papers and ribbons are Papertrey Ink. I used the Cuttlebug Textile folder for the background panel to give it a little depth although you can't see it too well on my photo. The pretty silver fiber is called cloisonne thread and came from my dear MIL's sewing box that I was lucky enough to receive when she moved into assisted living (she's 93 and still plays scrabble on the computer!).
Thank you for stopping by today! Now onto making some Easter crafts!!
World Record Inspirational Unity Blog Hop!
There are over 200 people signed up to participate! Can you hit them all?
I made my card using one of the butterflies in the Unity Stamp Set Butterfly Beauty which I stamped twice, cut out the center part on one and layered it over the other.
Thanks for stopping by - I'd love for you to leave me a comment!
Now hop on over to the next blog here!
I used this pretty Basic Grey Marrakech designer paper as it had the 3 colors in it (Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss and Pretty in Pink) or reasonable facsimilies there of! The angels and sentiment are from an H&M Stamp set called Angelic Moments. I used ribbon instead of cardstock for the 2nd panel. I had a lot of trouble putting so many layers on a card - I worked and re-worked it with different layers and colors for quite some time! So this card was a sketch growth experience for me!! And I have to say - I like how it finally came out - not that I'd use this sketch again though! LOL!
Hi everyone! Nothing new to post at the moment - I'm busy working on some projects that I can't show you right now (I always wanted to write that!!!) I'll let you know my exciting news soon!!
I'm teaching two classes at the Papertree Store in Manchester, NH this Saturday if you're in the area drop by and say hello!!! You can see the classes here scroll down to the 3/28 listings. Michelle has a super fun store with tons of beautiful papers and wonderful stamps - not to mention any kind of stampin' supplies you might need!
I'm also participating in the World Record International Unity Blog hop - are you??? - so be sure to check back here at 10 AM on Saturday - over 200 people are participating! (see blinky on side bar) Hopefully everyone will link to each other as directed so we can view all the posts!
Oh - and I just got my Papertrey Ink order for this month (!) and I received TWO of the Limited Edition Everyday Classics Thank you Stamp sets because I'm such a GOOD (ie BAD!) customer - maybe one of them will show up in Blog Candy here some day!! You can't buy this set - it's given to customers for purchasing at least 12 stamp sets over the prior year.
So much stamping to do - so little time!!!
I should have something to post tomorrow - thanks for coming by!!
As promised - here is another project that we made at the Stamp New England Weekend. (see my post below for more info on the weekend) This beautiful set was designed by Cindy Lawrence and uses Whipper Snapper Stamps - Blossoms and Butterflies and Friendly Expressions. I had gotten this watercolored at the weekend but not put together but I was able to finish it up today.
We used reinkers and aquabrushes to color the petals and envelopes - I didn't do too well on mine - I always seem to add too much color and so don't get that wonderful shading other people can achieve. I definately need some practice on it! We were given extra blossoms stamped to color and cut out so we could layer them over the first stamping. We used sponge daubers on the edges with Soft Sky ink and layered the plain ovals onto scalloped ovals. For the card on the left - we used a copic marker to color the middle strip of the ribbon - boy did that work nicely! And then we all got a clear box from Gina K Designs - to slip our cards and envelopes into and we made a belly band to go around the box. The smaller flower was white which we again colored with a copic - how great does this whole thing look!!! I'm going to send this to my dear Aunt Edie who just turned 90 today - she likes to send notes to people and she always appreciates getting cards that I stamp - she will just LOVE this set!
I had mentioned that I had to leave the weekend a little early in order to attend my niece's wedding shower so I thought I'd share just a couple of pictures of it.
Here is bridesmaid, Jenn, future bride Katie, her sister Christy, and bridesmaid Amanda.
And here is the gift I gave her - This is a really neat basket carved out of a tree trunk that I got at the Brimfield Fair last fall. I like to give unusual gifts that they will remember came from their wedding. whenever they use it. (guess this fits the bill!) Katie's wedding colors are Ripe Avocado and Strawberry Fizz. She and I also made her Wedding Invitations, seating cards and program using these colors from Papertrey Ink. We did some computer printing and some stamping. I forgot to take pics before she took them all home - but hope to take some later to post.
This is the card I made for them as well as a case of personalized notes (you can see my post on them here). The card uses Verve Visual Anniversary Birds set, the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
I still have 2 more projects from SNE to finish - so check back to see them!
Well - these are not colors I would usually grab to work with but this was the color challenge on Split Coast - Riding Hood Red, Summer Sun, Kraft and black! Pretty bright huh?!?! I used Papertrey Ink colors on my card because I don't have Summer Sun so I used Pure Poppy and Summer Sunrise which I think are similar to the SU colors.
I also wanted to try the Split Coast New Technique challenge from yesterday using Claire's Ribbon Frame. I think it would work better if I had the slot punch Claire mentions in her directions where you can punch anywhere on the card. I like her samples on the larger panel. I was limited to the size of my square since I used the hand held SU Horizontal slot punch and it wouldn't reach in very far!
DH and I are going to a Celtics Basketball game tomorrow night so I won't be posting until probably Thursday - AND - it's FINALLY time for the Stamp New England gathering in Portsmouth NH and I'll be at that Friday and Saturday! I'll be sure to share pics when I get back!
Today the H&M Design team is having a Spring Time blog hop! We've all created fun bright crafts to inspire you and get you out of the winter blues - using new stamp sets just released by Heather on March 1!
We would like you to start with Carolina's Blog so if you didn't start there - jump on over . Just follow the 'hop' at each DT members blog! They'll tell you where to go next! If you're here following the blog hop trail - Welcome!!!
For my Spring craft - I made another one of the fun purse/brief case holders I've posted before (are you sick of seeing these from me yet??!!!) - but this time I made it as a child's Easter Treat.
I stamped these beautiful eggs from designer Debbie Corbari's set called "Eggstra Special" from H&M stamps. Look at all the fun designs on the eggs - and there are 2 more in the set that I didn't use here. Don't they look so bright and festive! They just scream spring and new life to me - and I love the perfect sentiment! And I didn't fill the case with candy - I figure parents look for a gift alternative to all that candy on Easter Morning. You can see a glimpse of the treats from the side here. So inside this treat bag I tucked 6 coloring cards and a box of crayons into the clear box pockets!
I found some cute, mostly black and white outlined clip art images on Microsoft Word and printed them out on card stock - then cut them into card size pieces.
Because kids are going to be opening and closing this little bag a lot - I added brads to the tops of the handles to reinforce the tacky tape that holds the ribbon on. This left the pointed ends of the brads exposed on the inside of the bag - which could catch on little fingers - so I added a strip of card stock to cover them.
You can see two other bags that I made here and here. They include a link to the instructions for making these fun purse/cases.
Briefly - for this project I used the narrower clear boxes (4 1/2" x 5 7/8" x 1/2")(Choose the depth of the clear box by how much you want to put inside them - my other samples use 1") This case is made from 2 pieces of designer paper cut 5" x 7 1/2" - score the bottom of each piece at 1 1/8" - adhere tacky tape on one end and attach pieces by overlapping the bottom scored ends. Cut two 23" pieces of ribbon for the handles and attach them with tacky tape starting on the bottom, coming up and around on each side. The closing tab measures 2" x 3" with the DP on it measuring 1 7/8" x 2 7/8".
Now hop on over to visit Maki and see what fun spring craft she has to show us using the new H&M Stamps today!!
Accessories: Oval nestabilities, corner rounder, Plum Pudding stitched twill ribbon PTI, tacky tape, velcro, clear box- Clearbags.com, computer clip art, box of crayons, small oval punch, sponge, foam dimensionals, Basic Grey Painted brads, cropadile.
Are you as enamored as I am by the sweet images from The Greeting Farm?? I recently ordered some of their stamps and made these three projects.
First up is this 3x6 long card using Lemon Tart and white card stock from Papertrey Ink and Basic Black from Stampin Up. I used the cute Panda Friends set that is actually on clearance sale right now. I colored the image with grey, red and black Prismacolor markers and embossed around it with my rectangle nestability. I punched the little hearts and tied the Papertrey Swiss Dots satin ribbon around the bottom.
Accessories: True black dotted swiss ribbon: PTI, rectangle nestability, small heart punch, Prismacolor markers.
My son was in the Army for many years so I'm partial to all military stamps. This Army Ian was just up my alley. I put him on the cover of a coaster photo album and will add pictures of my son when he was in the service (I just need to find them as it was pre-digital camera time and the photos must be tucked somewhere neatly away!!! LOL!!!). I used extra big 1 1/4" wires to bind it with my Bind It All to give it a tough Army guy look!
I covered 4 additional coasters with green, brown and camouflage designer papers for the inside pages and I sponged all the edges. I made the 'dog tag' using the key tag punch and big eyelets - both from Stampin Up. The piece of map is designer paper called Road Map by Paper Pizazz that I got at JoAnn's. I crumpled it up, distressed the edges and sponged it with Chocolate Chip and So Saffron inks.
Paper: White: PTI, Medium Weight Coasters, DP: road map: Paper Pizazz, Camouflage unknown.
And my third project is a 5x5 card using this cute digital Geisha girl Anya (no longer listed on The Greeting farm site). I colored her with Prismacolor markers to match this great designer paper called Sumi that I got at Michaels on sale recently. I used a piece of fiber that came off a floral bouquet that I had saved (you never know when you'll need something like this!! - I hadn't needed if for a whole year but this day it was perfect! LOL!!) I also added the metal coin to the bottom corner. I cut the flower out of a 2nd image, colored it and popped it up on foam dimensionals. The ovals are nestabilities.
Accessories: copics, prismacolor markers, oval nestabilities, net fiber recycled, Asian coin, glue dots, foam dimensionals.
As you are reading this - I am hopefully snow shoeing up at DH's brother's home in VT! I have preposted this entry and hopefully it posts on Wed! And you can bet I'm suffering from withdrawal because I'm not stamping!!
My card today covers two challenges - the color challenge on Split Coast to use Rose Red, Basic Black and Always Artichoke - and Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch The stamps are Angelic Moments from H&M Stamps I used the textile and swiss dots cuttlebug folders and circle nestabilities. I paper pieced the angels outfit and used a Spica gold pen on her wings and halo although you can't see the shimmer in the picture it does shimmer IRL! I double layered a flower punch under the sentiment.
Gotta go and make an 80th b'day gift of note cards for a friend - thanks so much for stopping by today!
This is my card for the CAS (clean and simple) Monday challenge on Split Coast - this week the challenge is to use just shades of blues and greens on your card. I used Ripe Avocado card stock from Papertrey Ink and 2 shades of green copics on the peas. The sentiment was stamped in Denim Adirondack ink and the doodling was done with a blue fine tip pen by Creative Memories. The cut out and embossing was done with square nestabilities.
The doodling also qualifies this card for this weeks Our Creative Corner Challenge.
The cute peas in a pod and sentiment are from the Veggie Set by Two Scoops Rice Designs Scroll way down on her site to see this set it's listed on an Oct 2007 posting.
As always - I appreciate your stopping by!
Check this out! Cute free Digi Stamp!


Home / Vodafone R215 Huawei Mobile WiFi Router Unlocking is Possible? / Vodafone R215 Huawei Mobile WiFi Router Unlocking is Possible?
by Sunil Jadhavar on January 26, 2015 in Vodafone R215 Huawei Mobile WiFi Router Unlocking is Possible?
If you will ask me that can Vodafone R215 Huawei Mobile WiFi router is unlock-able? My answer is yes. I have yesterday unlocked one another Huawei R215 which was locked to Vodafone Portugal network. Vodafone R215 is actually Huawei E5372 and it has branded by Vodafone as R215 and launched in the market by locking his network. So, that no one can use another network provider sim in Vodafone R215 mobile wifi router.
Just put another network sim in your router. Plug it to PC using USB cable. Browse in internet explorer and press enter from keyboard. Now, you will see the unlocking screen as in above image. Put the correct unlock code and your Huawei R215 is unlocked forever.
Its unlock code charge is 6 USD (E5372, E5372, R215, E3272 etc, few models unlocking charge is high. Another devices charges is maximum 2.38$).
Mail your device details in --------@gmail.com. In mail mention Model, Network, IMEI and Country through which you have purchased. Because may be in your country, Vodafone has locked the unlocking part.
There will be no refund provided for unlock code these models , which unlock code charges is 6 USD. I purchase these codes in high rates. And for my genuine work, I will not refund it.
How much time you have to wait for unlock code after making the payment?
If I will be available online, then same time code will be delivered in your mail. If I will be not available, then maximum 8 hours you have to wait for the unlock code.

Q: View controller is not showing on whole screen for iphone-6 and iPhone 6 plus (in Swift and Objective-c both) Strange bug i am getting right now :
If i am disabling auto-layout in application and trying to handle with launch screen then strange bug is coming :
Step 1 :

*

*If i am setting application for iOS-7 and above only for LaunchImage then everything
is working fine . But problem is that we can not set LaunchImage screen
for iPhone- 6 and iPhone 6 + (In this case 1136 size image will show
as splash of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+)

*And window size of iPhone 5 and above is showing 320*568 (for iPhone5 . 5s , 6 and 6+) .

Step 2 :

*

*If i am enabling application for iOS-8 and above too for LaunchImage and setting splash for iPhone 6 and 6+ too then splash is working fine . But after splash window size will be change now its showing as per device screen size . Due to this all view controller are not showing in whole screen because view controller size is still showing 320*480

can anyone let me know why this strange problem appearing and also relevant solution for this .
Same problem appearing in swift programing too .

A: It is not a strange problem. Just set background color of your view in veiwDidLoad like self.view.backgroundcolor = [UIColor redColor]; and you will notice your viewController is using full screen but other controls are not getting resized.
Just use AUTO LAYOUT

Auto Layout is a system that lets you lay out your app's user interface by creating a mathematical description of the relationships between the elements. You define these relationships in terms of constraints either on individual elements, or between sets of elements. Using Auto Layout, you can create a dynamic and versatile interface that responds appropriately to changes in screen size, device orientation, and localization.

You can check documentation
Here is the best tutorial.
UPDATE :

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO USE AUTO-RESIZING
but still you want to do it without autoLayout, you must use auto-resizing.
YOU HAVE NOT ANY OTHER OPTION.
To user auto resize, use this tutorial : Handling Layout Changes Automatically Using Autoresizing Rules

Hope this will help you....

A: Finally i have found one alternate solution for this problem :
Just add Launch screen for 7.0 and above then your App will run on iPhone 5,5s , 6 and 6+ accordingly .

Add both LaunchImage for 2x and Retina .

A: I think are you Forget to adding splash screen Default-568h@2x.png in to your Project
and can you check my previous answer

I have decided to stop thinking about the whole job situation. The university sent me a personality quiz to fill out, they want me to interview with the dean of the program...this is all a little bigger and more important than I was expecting. I might not even get this job.
BB is in the midst of a trade. His TX team from last year traded him right before the season started and forced him to swallow a $400 a month pay cut (it was accept the trade or be released) and we were bitter. Very bitter. But now his original TX team just traded back for him, and he will be driving to the TX team tomorrow. He talked to the manager of the TX team and explained that he cannot play for such a low salary and the new manager said "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." That's enough for BB to trust that he will be restored to his original contract amount, but I don't trust it. The new/original team does not need to provide the original contract amount, they are only required to match his current contract. BB wont see his new contract until he is in TX and then he will sign it. So they will have him in a tough spot to try and negotiate.
BUT, I refuse to worry. I'm just not going to. It's BB's last season- he's not there to make money, he's there to play. Back home, we are getting the bills paid.
I just feel like BB gets used and taken advantage. That's what upsets me about the contracts and salaries. He's worth more but always accepts low salaries because he is a bad negotiator and deep down he is afraid that he wont get to play if he does not take whats on the table.
The other night BB was throwing himself a pity party and tried to use the old line on me "This is my last year playing because YOU Gamecock are making me retire." I told him that if that's how he wants to view it then fine. But the reality is that he is in a financial mess because he is almost 30 and has no retirement, no savings, and only $100 in his account at any given time. It's not that he spends- it's that he makes enough from his season to live and save maybe $1000 for the off season. That $1000 goes quick. If he wants to retire someday, if he wants a house to live in, if he wants to eat food- it's time for him to accept responsibility for achieving it. I guess I am ranting. But I feel like, though he doesn't COST much- it's still several hundred dollars a month to pay for his half of the bills and provide him $ for gas and what not. He shouldn't expect people around him to just pay for his bills because they love him and he's a nice guy. And it's not that I support him often, just since we moved in Feb because there was not enough time for him to find work before the season started- usually he works during the off season making just enough $ to cover his half of the bills. But I guess it's the whole leaving me the burden of an emergency fund, and savings, and retirement that I am tired of. I'm just at a stopping point. Mentally I am just-done.
If he wants to believe I am making him quit and get a job- then he can say that. But in reality- life is making him quit. As we get older, life costs more. And every year that he puts off contributing to retirement or savings is a year he needs to catch up on when he does begin. And I am tired of trying to save enough for the both of us.
Wow- I guess that was quite a rant. Really- I emotionally swing back and forth regarding this whole baseball thing. I know he does too. I guess today I am in the mood to be tired of baseball.
Anyways, that's whats going on here.
and then he is usually like 'yeah, i am being silly'.
Kinda unnecessary and far from the truth I'd say.
To me... if he was single, then he could play baseball til the cows come home.... however because he's now in a financial partnership I think he needs to take care of business (money-wise) - whether that is giving baseball lessons to kids, coaching for money, part-time job etc so that he meets his half of the partnerships financial obligations... He will then be free to do as he pleases.
I know he's probably a really cool guy - I'm not having a go !
No worries Bliss hunter- I feel the same way. If he was single, he would have had to stop playing a few years ago, I keep enabling him by keeping our lifestyle comfortable. But he swings back and forth, he said that, I didn't have much of a reaction, and he later said he knew that wasn't true. He's just going through all the crap of growing up and taking stock of where his life is at.

Enlightenment in the Food System Lab
Christine Grillo
Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future
"Before I started at the Center for a Livable Future," says Kenai McFadden, "I didn't even know what a food system is."
A Bloomberg School graduate student focusing on Health Education and Health Communication, Kenai's full-time field placement at the Food System Lab has piqued new interests and expanded the way he thinks about community health.
The Food System Lab is an urban teaching farm in Baltimore City that operates on the grounds of Baltimore's Cylburn Arboretum. Begun in 2012, it has evolved from a demonstration project exploring the feasibility of aquaponics to a beloved destination for thousands of students—and educators—from all over Baltimore who want to learn about food systems, particularly about growing plants in a small-scale agro-ecosystem.
"I think of myself as an urban gardener," says Kenai. He spends his days seeding vegetables, tending compost, giving tours to students, implementing food system lessons and exploring new opportunities for students to engage more deeply with food system learning.
He recently harvested what he calls "mammoth dill," most of which he was able to sell at a local farmers market through the Farm Alliance of Baltimore. Dill, apparently, does very well in the Lab's environment. (Cilantro, on the other hand, does not grow well in aquaponics. Go figure.)
When he started working at the Lab in 2017, he was brought on as a curriculum specialist to focus on developing lessons for students and to help align FoodSpan, the Center's free food system lesson plan package, with national standards and Baltimore City public school standards. In 2019 the lab will re-introduce tilapia in its aquaponics system. Until then Kenai keeps the plants, such as sorrel, basil and mustard, healthy and takes care of the compost bin, which is home to about 4,000 of his friends, the red wiggler worms. He uses the compost to enrich the Lab's soil bed. One of the jobs he lets his student visitors do is water quality testing. "You don't need a degree in chemistry to test the pH of the water," he says.
Before coming to the Center for a Livable Future (CLF), Kenai graduated from Duke University with a bachelor's degree in chemistry and psychology. It was at Duke that Kenai found himself drawn to education. After earning his bachelor's degree, he joined HealthCorps and taught nutrition, fitness and mental health classes at a high school in Houston. "That job made me realize I wanted to pursue public health," he says. His interest in health behavior change had been piqued—he wants to tackle the tough questions about the best ways to communicate about adopting healthy behaviors. Now he's in his second year of a masters program in the Department of Health Behavior and Society at the Bloomberg School. Pursuing his studies in Baltimore adds a lot of texture to his work. "Baltimore's food system is a great environment to dig into this field," he says.
His time of the Food System Lab is turning out to be a great complement to his coursework and hands-on experience in education and communication. For his thesis, he's flirting with a couple ideas, one of which is an exploration of best practices for getting food system lessons (like CLF's FoodSpan) implemented in schools.
After graduating, he'd like to continue working in food systems education. Ideally, he'll continue weaving together his interests in public health, food access, health behavior change and education. "I'm still trying to decide where in the food system I want to end up, whether that's on the production side, like in urban agriculture, or on the education side," he says. "I do know that I want to help people through food."

Bruno Vattovaz (født 20. februar 1912 i Koper, død 5. oktober 1943) var en italiensk roer, der deltog i OL 1932 i Los Angeles.

Vattovaz deltog ved OL 1932 i firer med styrmand sammen med Riccardo Divora, Bruno Parovel, Giovanni Plazzer og styrmand Giovanni Scher.  Blot syv både deltog i konkurrencen, og italienerne kvalificerede sig til finalen ved at vinde deres indledende heat over blandt andet den tyske båd. I finalen var tyskerne stærkere, og de kæmpede længe med italienerne om at ligge forrest. Til sidst måtte italienerne se tyskerne vinde guldet 0,2 sekunder foran, mens italienerne var langt foran polakkerne på tredjepladsen.

Greece was admitted to the Eurozone for purely political reasons, and for a long time international bankers such as Goldman Sachs were always willing to play along and continue their loans, even though they knew very well that the Greek economy could not carry such a burden of debt. Only when, during the financial crisis, things began to go awry, did everyone realise that a smokescreen had been hiding the realities, a smokescreen created by the member states of the Eurozone themselves, by the international bankers and successive corrupt Greek governments.
Syriza had the task of righting the ship. Cuts on government spending, on public services and on benefits and pensions were enforced in order to reduce the debt. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras succeeded in meeting these conditions, but at the cost of widespread misery for ordinary Greeks. There were protests, but most Greeks remained attached to the euro, as their voting behaviour demonstrates. Amongst all the 'reforms' were a large number of neoliberal hobbyhorses, such as privatisation of roads and of drinking water, which will also count in the assessment.
And now the ministers in the Eurogroup have voted to extend the debt repayment period for Greece from 32.5 years to 42.5 years. And through an additional financial buffer they can be rendered creditworthy to – once again – the banks. In exchange for this the Eurogroup is demanding that four times a year inspectors be allowed to check whether the 'reforms' have not been reversed. Understandable if the risk falls on those extending the credit, but less so when you consider that a country such as Germany made billions in profits as a result of the aid package.
In the run-up to the European Parliament elections next year the debate around the euro will undoubtedly burst into life. Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the former Dutch finance minister who stood down as president of the Eurogroup at the beginning of the year, warned that we would be unable keep Italy on its feet should the country run into difficulties. A fine prospect, as is the fact that whatever happens, it won't be the bankers but the public who pick up the tab. Bankers continue to rake it in while the measures imposed on them to restrain their activities are being once more reversed or diluted. But the cuts in Greek pensions will remain for at least forty years. In this, the euro has become a symbol of injustice.

The Spirit of Peace of Women in the Red Zone
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Members of Simpang Dua Village youth group cut their chilli plants
Baina laid her head on the back of her palms looking over the backrest of her chair. On purpose she sat down reverse on her chair. Her voice was soft when she was telling the fragments of her life between 2001-2004. The dark ages of conflict between Aceh Freedom Movement (GAM) and the Indonesian Army that broke out the land of Serambi Mekah (Veranda of Mecca).
"It was the fasting month. I forgot that it was the day of sports training. When I was passionately helping my mother in preparing the food for breaking the fast, I was called by a soldier. I was remembered that I had to practice volleyball. He was angry with me and yelled at me. Then he asked me to go to the river behind my house. I had to sit in the river for hours, until the break of the fast."
The girls from Simpang Dua Village, East Kluet Sub-District, South Aceh District revealed that the volleyball practice for women was a must. It was the Indonesian Army who made it an obligation.
Though cold and hungry, this girl who was still in junior high school at that time didn't have any courage to resist. "He carried a gun. I was not allowed to get out from the river until he told me to do so. If we resisted, the gun points were already at our heads."
Such a confession was also revealed by three friends of Baina's. They were Abizah, Marina and Bangun Hayati. According to the three girls who were active in the youth organisation, there was no word of "late" for them.
"We were not allowed to come late even just for one minute. If we came late, everyone knew the consequence of it. We would be punished running around the court 10 times or as often as they liked, having to sit in cold water like Baina, doing push ups, etc. Some of us were even kicked," said Abizah, who was also an elementary school teacher in her village.
Baina who was active in her role as a treasurer in the youth organisation in her village added that when conflicts occurred there were always people who had to lay in water or treated badly by the military personnel every day. "The number of our clothes was no longer enough for us to wear. My father was often immersed in water when he didn't know the answer to the military's questions. On the way home from the field, he had often to stand in water by some angry military personnel. How many times he had to do that was countless. But I once resisted. The military person kept quiet. They were arbitrary," Baina said, laughing in triumph.
Close supervision
Living in a village that was considered the area of the Aceh Freedom Movement (GAM), which was often called the red zone, meant that we were under a close supervision. Several obligations regardless the conditions of the village were applied.
The head of the Youth Organisation of Simpang Dua Village, Marina, said that even to meet the need of food the people had to obey the rules applied by the personnel of the Indonesian Army. The people were obliged to plant sweet potato and vegetables in their yard.
"We were not allowed to work on our fields. If we wanted to go to our fields we had to pass the checkpoint, report there and we were searched. We were asked to leave our ID card at their hands. We were not allowed to bring rice or food. They suspected that we brought food for the members of the Aceh Freedom Movement (GAM)."
Marina also said that rice and food that belonged to the villagers had to be kept at the checkpoint. Every day the villagers had to come to the check point to queue for rice according to the numbers of the people in their family. This experience created the need for a new strategy for most villagers.
"If we had to go to the market for our family needs we had to be careful to get exactly right the amount so that it wouldn't be taken by the military. Unfortunately, although we had bought grocery according to our needs, they still took some from us."
It was not only matters of life that they controlled. Even the relation between human beings and the Creator was controlled. " Attendance on the Friday prayer was controlled too. Those who didn't attend the prayer were noticed. They created various punishments. For boys and men these punishments were harder," Marina said while slightly laughing.
If asked to count how many times the people had fled, Marina, Baina, Abizah and Bangun Hayati said they couldn't remember anymore. In their memory, every time there was gunfire in the village or hills around their village the people fled. Mass displacement occurred twice.
"We, from Simpang Dua and Simpang Tiga Village, once fled to Malaka Village, sheltered in a junior high school building. It was the fasting month and there was gunfire. We fled because we felt threatened. We fled for more than a month," said Abizah. Bangun Hayati and Baina nodded their heads, agreeing to Abiza's words.
Following a threat, people settled temporarily in a village behind the hill, Paya Ateuk Village in Pasie Raja Sub-District. "Every time we returned from our displacement, things were messy. Our belongings were gone. Nobody knew where they were gone. Goats, chickens … all gone," Marina said.
"It was weird, though, that no dead animals were found. All were gone," said Abizah, who was the secretary of the Youth Organization at the time.
"Goat shit was brought into our houses. They also put it in our clothes which we left behind. I don't know what to say. Uugghh … never let such a thing happens again. We are tired," Baina added with a sigh.
Gaining back the spirit
During the conflict, the youth and all other villagers was scared of both conflicting parties, the Indonesian Army and the Aceh Freedom Movement (GAM). "They both had guns. Women were forced to practice volley ball by the military personnel. If we resisted we had to stand in water. Consequently GAM considered us as having a close relationship with the Indonesian Army, though actually we were forced to do what they wanted us to do. Our life was threatened by the Aceh Freedom Movement. Both of them had made us scared," Bangun sighed.
In peaceful times like now, the four young women want to forget their past despite the pain remaining because of repeatedly being treated badly. Challenge after challenge had to be faced by the women who are enthusiastic about developing their village.
"I can't forget the shameful treatment I received from the military, nor how they treated our brothers? Frankly, even under the most painful conditions we had to protect our brothers in the hills. However, after a peace was achieved, they got jobs, all kinds of assistance, whereas we are left without any attention. They don't care about their sisters and other brothers who are left in agony because of the conflict," revealed Marina.
On the other hand, some youth activities from before the conflict were not practiced anymore until now. Some people even opposed the revival of a youth organisation.
"How can we achieve something like our parents if we are prohibited to carry out activities. We are never told why our activities are prohibited. There are only rumors saying that girls are not allowed to do sports and dance. We simply want to train primary school students to dance," said Abizah.
"How can they just expect us to stay home idly? No art is allowed. Even it is Acehnese culture that we learn. It is strange that girls are not allowed to advance themselves," said Baina.
Marina hopes that peace will really become true in a real form. "Peace is peace. But please return our spirit so that we don't only remember our bitter past. We want our enthusiasm for arts and social activities to return. Art equipments used to be available but now all are destroyed by the conflict. It is just not right to prohibit something without any reasons."
Luckily, village administrators, including geuchik (village head) and youths fully support the girl's activities.

Just to let you know: I haven't died. I've gone two days without the… - See the Amanda, Feel the Shine!
Just to let you know: I haven't died. I've gone two days without the Internet, though. Things have been super-busy, and that's helped to keep my mind off all the job hysteria.
It will be a while before I can reply to (or even read) all the lovely comments that have been building up. The same with reading the friends' page. But I love you people, and I will as soon time permits. I really appreciate all your patience and loveliness.
I wish I could have been there. Can't wait to hear about it. Ari.....congratulations!
You missed it for a very good reason. It went very well, though you and Kenneth definitely were sorely missed (by me at least, if by no one else, haha :P).
I wish I could go two days without the internet. That would drive me utterly bonkers. *sigh* I missed you, though. I kind of wish we talked more, both here or otherwise.
The strange thing is, I didn't even realize it had been two days until I looked at my last post. I'm the sort of person who forgets her past habits as soon as the setting of these habits is no longer there. Since I've moved, it's been almost like a blank slate when it comes to the Internet...it's really weird.
And yeah, me too. I haven't been on IM in months, and even though I don't regret it, I miss the people on there.
That is strange. I am the exact opposite - I have so many habits and routines set in stone that forgetting any one of them makes a huge impact in everything I do. For instance, when I slacked off from writing entries in my journal, I felt this creeping sense of not being properly documented.

Q: PHP/Ajax page navigation url change Ik want to build a ajax/jquery page navigation so when the user clicks on a page, the url changes to so that there are no problems with browser's back button. I found a lot of answers for this but not what I searched for. I saw this code below on a tutorial site and I want to customize it so that the url moves to. Do I have to build that in the ajax script of on the PHP side? How can I achieve this?
My index.php

           <title>Webslesson Tutorial | Make Pagination using Jquery, PHP, Ajax and MySQL</title>

           <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" />

Make Pagination using Jquery, PHP, Ajax and MySQL

And my pagina.php
<?PHP

$connect = mysqli_connect("hidden", "hidden", "hidden","publiek2") or die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
$record_per_page = 50;
 $page = '';
 $output = '';

 if(isset($_POST["page"]))
 {
      $page = $_POST["page"];
 }
 else
 {
      $page = 1;
 }
 $start_from = ($page - 1)*$record_per_page;
 $query = "SELECT * FROM voertuigen WHERE merk='Chevrolet' AND voorpagina='1' ORDER BY model ASC LIMIT $start_from, $record_per_page";
 $result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
 $output .= "

                Name
                Phone

 ";
 while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
 {
      $output .= '

                '.$row["merk"].'
                '.$row["model"].'

      ';
 }
 $output .= '

';
 $page_query = "SELECT * FROM voertuigen WHERE merk='Chevrolet'  AND voorpagina='1' ORDER BY model ASC";
 $page_result = mysqli_query($connect, $page_query);
 $total_records = mysqli_num_rows($page_result);
 $total_pages = ceil($total_records/$record_per_page);

 for($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++)
 {

  $output .= "".$i."";
 }
 $output .= '

';
 echo $output;
 ?>

Thanks in advance.
I've tried to customize the ajax script.

A: As a javascript and PHP developer I don't understand much about Jquery but I think the code describes that there is a div called.pagination_link takes id as page number eg: 1. And makes an HTTP POST request to the PHP side. You can simply do this with a sample example in Javascript.
HTML

1

Javascript
const id = document.querySelector('.pagination_link').getAttribute('id');
fetch('pagina.php', {
 method : 'POST',
 body : id
})

If you want to send data.

A: I added a hidden text value with the page number as value and called the id 'idd' and recalled that id on the ajax page. It works good now but if I want to go back with browser button, the url moves to the previous page but the results on the page stays te same. How can I resolve that?
My new index.php JS code

and my altered pagina.php

<?PHP

$connect = mysqli_connect("hidden", "hidden", "hidden","publiek2") or die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
$record_per_page = 50;
 $page = '';
 $output = '';

 if(isset($_GET["page"]))
 {
      $page = $_GET["page"];
      echo "<input type='hidden' id='idd' value='".$_GET['page']."'>";
 }
 else
 {
      $page = 1;
$idd = 1;
 }
 $start_from = ($page - 1)*$record_per_page;
 $query = "SELECT * FROM voertuigen WHERE merk='Chevrolet' AND voorpagina='1' ORDER BY model ASC LIMIT $start_from, $record_per_page";
 $result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
 $output .= "

                Name
                Phone

 ";
 while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
 {
      $output .= '

                '.$row["merk"].'
                '.$row["model"].'

      ';
 }
 $output .= '

';
 $page_query = "SELECT * FROM voertuigen WHERE merk='Chevrolet'  AND voorpagina='1' ORDER BY model ASC";
 $page_result = mysqli_query($connect, $page_query);
 $total_records = mysqli_num_rows($page_result);
 $total_pages = ceil($total_records/$record_per_page);

 for($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++)
 {

  $output .= "".$i."";
 }
 $output .= '

';
 echo $output;
 ?>
