Coca-Cola and the journey of a bottle
Here's the story behind every bottle of this world-famous soft drink.
By Toni Antiporda | Apr 17, 2016
JOURNEY OF A BOTTLE. Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines lets us in on what goes into every bottle of their world-famous soft drink.
Ever wonder what goes on behind every bottle of Coca-Cola you drink?
Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines lets Entrepreneur.com.ph in inside two of its manufacturing plants in Laguna to share the journey of a bottle.
Coca-Cola FEMSA is the largest franchise bottler of Coca-Cola products in the world, and its history in the Philippines began in January 2013 when it acquired 51% of Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. from The Coca-Cola Company.
"The value chain starts with the people who grow sugar, then the people who create our PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, our labels, and our bottle caps. Then, all of that goes into our plants. We have 19 manufacturing plants across the country," shared Juan Dominguez, corporate affairs director at Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines.
BOTTLED UP. Coca-Cola FEMSA produces 12 product lines in returnable glass bottles, and 61 product lines in non-returnable PET bottles.
The biggest facility is in Sta. Rosa, Laguna at 32 hectares, eight hectares of which is allotted for the highway, with total assets amounting to P4.3 billion ($86 million). The Sta. Rosa plant was opened in 1990, and it currently has 732 regular employees. Coca-Cola FEMSA has around 10,000 employees all over the Philippines.
Coca-Cola FEMSA produces 12 product lines in returnable glass bottles, and 61 product lines in non-returnable PET bottles. "Once the products are produced and all of the quality processes are completed, the bottles are ready to go into a distribution center," added Dominguez.
The company has around 50 distribution centers all over the country, which are then connected to 60 sales offices. These sales offices then connect to a network of over 24,000 retail outlets, which includes supermarkets and convenience stores, and over 800,000 sari-sari (variety) stores and food outlets (carinderia).
"What's interesting is how many people and how much value is involved in each of these bottles—for every single direct employee, there's around 15 people that directly benefit from our industry and from our business," said Dominguez.
ROLL OUT. Coca-Cola products find their way into 24,000 retail outlets, which includes supermarkets and convenience stores, and over 800,000 sari-sari (variety) stores and food outlets (carinderia) all over the Philippines.
A partner in business
Aside from employment opportunities, the company also helps locals by giving them a leg up on starting their own business, shared Marvin Ornubia, a sales executive at Coca-Cola FEMSA, Canlubang, Laguna. "When we partner withsari-sari store owners or carinderia (eatery) owners, we help them grow their businesses by providing them tables and chairs, electric coolers, and signages," he added.
One of their partners is Carmencita Pabrua, an eatery owner in Canlubang, Laguna who was able to further grow her business with the help of Coca-Cola FEMSA. Pabrua used to be a cook in another eatery until she decided to start her own food business.
Aside from the fact that locals love her cooking, Pabrua admitted that having the Coca-Cola branded coolers in her store enticed more customers. "They really want to pair their meals with a soft drink," she added.
Add to that the signage, tables, and chairs that Coca-Cola FEMSA provided, Pabrua was not only able to increase her profit but was also able to increase the size of her eatery, making way for more customers.
"I started with a really small space. With the help of Coca-Cola FEMSA, I was able to double the profit of my eatery," Pabrua shared.

No, this is not the story of a baseball team savant, who doubted conventional statistics and reused them with extraordinary success (Moneyball). It is not a personal disclosure of the seamy underbelly of financial markets (The Big Short; Flash Boys; Liar's Poker).
Rather, it is the story of learning how our minds work, of behavioral economics, and of the unusual and highly prolific working relationship of two Israeli academics, who first met in 1960. It is the story of how an extrovert, Amos Tversky, and an introvert, Daniel Kahneman, stimulated and prodded each other over almost 40 years, first in Israel and then teaching in the United States on the West coast, then in the Midwest, and finally in the East, uncovering and describing the numerous biases that confuse our thinking.
Each challenged the ideas of the other.
In 1996, Amos Tversky died. In 2002, Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize, one that almost certainly would have been awarded to Amos as well, had he been alive.

Canine Achromatopsia
Achromatopsia, also called rod monochromacy, is an inherited condition characterized by decreased visual acuity, absent color vision, photophobia, and nystagmus. Achromatopsic humans report that colored objects appear in shades of gray. Two forms of this condition have been described in humans. Complete achromatopsia is a congenital vision disorder in which all cone function is absent or severely diminished. The incomplete (atypical) form is defined as dyschromatopsia, in which the symptoms are similar to those of the complete achromatopsia (typical) form but with less visual dysfunction3. In dogs, the condition is referred to as canine cone degeneration. Cones are light-sensitive retinal photoreceptors in the vertebrate eye. Although cone cells account for only 5% of photoreceptors, they are essential for high-acuity daylight-vision and discrimination of color.
Canine cone degeneration is caused by mutation in the canine GNGB3 gene. In the Alaskan Malamute, the complete gene is deleted, while in the German Shorthaired Pointer, the gene has substituted amino acids4. The disorder has also been described in the Miniature Poodle and other breeds of dogs. Affected dogs do not lose eyesight and remain normal throughout life.2 Puppies develop day-blindness and photophobia between 8 and 12 weeks. You will know that a dog has day-blindness when you notice him colliding with obstacles in daylight. Symptoms are present only in bright light, while vision in dim light is normal.

Hi everyone! I'm Kaylee! This is my sophomore year at Hopkins and I am currently pursuing a double major in Writing Seminars and English and a minor in Psychology. I'm from Montgomery County, Maryland, which is just a metro ride away from Washington, D.C. Here at school, I am part of the Blue Key society (meaning I give campus tours), the Alpha Phi sorority, and the Thread organization. What I love most about being in the heart of Baltimore is the inspiration that this charming city provides to me for my writing. There are so many cool neighborhoods close by, like Remington and Hampden, that are super quirky and unique and exciting to explore.


Home » What Can an Eighty-Nine Year Old Vietnamese Monk Teach Us About Leadership?
Thây, meaning 'teacher', as he is known to his followers, became ordained as a monk when he was 16, following an inner calling that he sensed from the age of seven. Thây, though, was not a monk who stayed in a monastery. He was a monk who believed in using his Buddhist teachings to be active in the world through 'engaged Buddhism'.
After two years at Princeton University in the US studying Comparative Religions, he returned to Vietnam to lead the Buddhist peace movement in the Vietnam War. During the war, Thây spearheaded one of the notable non-violent resistance movements of the twentieth century. He and his followers did all they could to create reconciliation between North and South Vietnam with regular non-violent protests. In 1967 Martin Luther King Jr nominated Thây for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring peace to Vietnam. Thây has also written 75 books on Buddhist teachings, prayer and poetry.
Thích Nhất Hạnh consistently lives in alignment with his message of mindfulness as the route to happiness and compassion for all sentient beings. In all his activities, he has practiced loving kindness and focused awareness, living every aspect of his teachings.
Many leaders do not live in tandem with the values and message of their organisation. These leaders may have mission statements, a clear vision and an articulated list of values, and yet they do not embrace them as principles for business, and for life. If a leader is not walking his talk both the employees and the customers subtlety pick up the disconnect between the company message and the actual experience. This inevitably leads to a lack of trust and lack of customer loyalty.
There is huge value on being clear on what we stand for professionally. From this clarity, it is essential that we truly live and embrace those principles to the best of our ability.
Thích Nhất Hạnh, and now his younger monastics, are always working to get his message out to all those who are open to receive it. Many of his worldwide talks are published free on his Twitter page and in the past, Thay has done numerous interviews with global publications. His focus on sharing his message, not for his personal gain, but for the greater good is exemplary.
He has also encouraged the younger members of his monastic order to reach out to people in organisations to help them bring the practice of mindfulness into the workplace. They work too with young people through 'Wake Up', a worldwide network of 18 – 30 year olds who come together to practice mindfulness and contribute to building a healthier, more compassionate society.
This ability to work tirelessly for the greater good is something we can all emulate. We all have gifts we can offer, talents we can share and skills that are of value to others. We can bring these into any situation, both professionally and personally. The important thing is that we selflessly share them, working on the principle that what we give, we receive.
We too, all have issues that we feel strongly about that we can take action on. Everyone can do this from promoting a cause, to volunteering for a charity, all the way to aligning one's organisation behind a worthwhile case, supporting it with time and energy.
Clear thought, the ability to concentrate fully and Higher insight are essential leadership skills. Thích Nhất Hạnh teaches that with the practice of mindful breathing, meditative sitting and mindful walking we come to live continually in the present moment. The benefits of this focus are many: the ability to concentrate; receptivity to wisdom and intuitive thought, openness to new perceptions, inspiration and creative thought; an ability to find happiness and joy in our current circumstances, and lastly a reduction in tension and stress.
To support our ability to bring our awareness back into the present, The Mindfulness Bell has been set up which we can use on our computers for regular reminders to take three deep breaths, to have a moment of stillness and to return to the calm of the present moment. This allows us to let go of the concerns for the future, the grievances and stresses of the past and become one with the present moment.
Thích Nhất Hạnh's key teaching is that of demonstrating love, kindness and compassion for all. It is a focus on relationships, connection and a sense of brotherhood. Loving kindness is deemed by Thây to be more important than fame, wealth, power and success. Thây advocates that love should be our destination.
To many, the practice of love, kindness and compassion is not appropriate in the driven, competitive and cut-throat world of business. There is no time for that "touchy feely" stuff! However, as leaders, we can see repeatedly the positive responses we get from our employees, our customers, our suppliers and the world at large when we offer them even just small acts of kindness. Often it may come down to one quality: courteousness. If we offer that quality through courteously engaging with others, listening to fully understand, we can create win-win solutions. We become solution finders.
People are drawn to those who have a kind or compassionate manner. It is magnetic, and its effects ripple out into the organisation as a whole. We invariably do not know the effect of one generous action, a loving or supportive thought or our willingness to take the time to listen to someone rather than move on in haste. However, it has a positive effect on our business, our reputation and our ability to attract people to us.
In conclusion, Thích Nhất Hạnh has been demonstrating for us all the kind of leadership that the 21st century requires of us: less thought-based and more intuitive, less competitive and more inclusive, less hierarchical and more equal, less self-focused and more selfless, less insular and more collaborative. This can be summed up as a willingness to act with kindness and an acknowledgement of the worth within us all.

Who's Christian Huff? Duck Dynasty Sadie Robertson's Spouse
By Olivia Clarke January 12, 2023

1 Who is Christian Huff?
2 The Wealth of Christian Huff
3 Life So Far
4 Wife – Sadie Robertson
4.1 Other Endeavors – Sadie Robertson
4.2 Recent Projects – Life After Duck Dynasty
Who is Christian Huff?
Christian Huff was born on 9 June 1998, in Niceville, Florida, USA, and is a social media personality, but possibly best known for being the husband of reality television personality Sadie Robertson. His wife rose to fame as one of the regular cast members of the A&E series "Duck Dynasty", and later embarked on other acting endeavors. Like her family, she's also become very interested in pursuing a career in business.
The Wealth of Christian Huff
As of early-2020, Christian Huff's net worth is estimated to be over $50,000. He is still on the verge of completing his college education, and may pursue a career in professional baseball.
wanted to post a picture with my best friend and give some public praise for how amazing she is and all that she does that goes unnoticed. Sadie, you are unlike any other and love so beautifully with no limits. You teach me patience, grace and forgiveness that are evidence of the fruits of who Jesus is. Thank you for being such an amazing example to our house and this generation. Actually, an example to every generation because there's no limits on your anointing. I love you more every day and am grateful for every moment with you. I will stand with you through anything and I know you'd do the same for me. Can't imagine this life without you standing by your side cheering you on. You are loved, appreciated, seen and respected. God is good and his love is perfect, thank you for loving him more than you love me.
A post shared by Christian Huff (@christian_huff) on Jan 27, 2020 at 12:07pm PST
He probably benefits from the success of his wife, who has a net worth estimated to be over $500,000, thanks to the success of her various endeavors in the entertainment industry.
Christian grew up in Niceville and was raised alongside a younger brother. At a young age, he showed athletic inclinations, particularly in baseball, a sport that he often played with his brother. He attended Niceville High School and during his time there, played baseball for the school's team.
After matriculating from high school, he enrolled at Auburn University where he took up a degree in business administration, management, and operations.
While working on his degree, he has also showcased his intent to become a professional baseball player, presumably playing with Auburn's baseball team. Apart from his education, he is also very interested in languages and took up lessons in Creole, Japanese and Korean. While he's remained out of the spotlight for most of his life, his online popularity surged after Sadie confirmed that they were dating.
Wife – Sadie Robertson
Sadie Robertson is the son of Willie and Korie Robertson – her father is a businessman who would help the family business Duck Commander rise to fame in the country as its CEO. Their business initially focused on a duck-call and other duck-hunting merchandise.
Sadie Robertson
She grew up alongside five siblings, and all of them would find a semblance of fame thanks to their father – he helped create the television show "Duck Dynasty", which aired on A&E from 2012 to 2017.
The show followed the lives of their family who had found success with the business, and the show was also responsible for helping bring more business to them. They also created a spin-off business called Buck Commander, which is focused on hunting deer. The show was very popular during its run, and the family is also known for their openness about their Christian lifestyle, while displying a look far from stereotypical, as the men often sported long beards.
The show ran for five seasons and helped many of them become television stars, including Sadie. The show earned over $400 million from merchandise and advertising in one year, and continued its success until the end of its run in 2017.
Other Endeavors – Sadie Robertson
While Sadie appeared consistently in the show, she used its popularity to explore various other avenues in the entertainment industry. She recorded the song "Away in a Manger" for a family Christmas album called "Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas", and became a contestant in the competitive TV series "Dancing with the Stars" during its 19th season, reaching the finals of the show and finishing as the runner-up.
The reality competition show features various celebrities as they pair up with a professional dancer before competing against each other. They are then scored by a panel of judges and the lowest score each week is eliminated.
The show is based on the UK series "Strictly Come Dancing", which has spawned numerous franchises internationally. During the finals, she competed against Alfonso Ribiero and Janel Parrish, the former of whom would win the competition. Apart from the show, she also ventured into professional acting endeavors, working on "God's Not Dead 2" which starred Melissa Joan Hart, and which was a moderate success in the box office.
Recent Projects – Life After Duck Dynasty
Another project Robertson worked on is the film "I'm Not Ashamed", portraying the character Charity. The biographical film is based on the life of Rachel Scott, who was one of the victims of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, which saw the death of 12 students and a teacher. She also appeared in a pair of music videos, firstly in "Past the Past" by Lawson Bates, and the second "The Long Way" by Brett Eldredge.
She also wrote a "New York Times" bestseller called "Live Original", which tackled her life as a Christian and her faith. She toured in promotion of the book, and followed it up with "Life Just Got Real: A Live Original Novel" as well as a devotional book.
In 2018, she released a sequel book called "Live Fearless", and gained a bit of wealth thanks to its success.
In recent years, she's been focused on developing her career as a social media personality. She manages a YouTube account on which she talks about the Christian way of life, video blogs, and some of her speaking endeavors. She has millions of followers on her Instagram account.
Christian was interested in Sadie for some time, though she didn't know him so she ignored one of his online messages to her on Instagram. The two later met as he was close friends with Robertson's cousin, and the group went crab fishing.
They then became friends and talked for around two months before they began dating. Less than a year later he proposed to her, and they were married in late-2019 on her family's farm, then honeymooned in Mexico.
Before their marriage Sadie was in two prominent relationships, the first with Blake Coward whom she admitted was tumultuous to a point that she developed an eating disorder because of the stress it caused. She then had a relationship with Austin North, but which only lasted for around four months. Following their relationship, Huff's online popularity increased significantly, gaining hundreds of thousands of followers on her Instagram.

Many Thanks to the staff of the Montel Williams' show! Many thanks, of course, to Sean Kelly and the staff at Eastern State Penitentiary.
The most haunted prison in the US lived up to its reputation the day we filmed there for this segment. The cameraman's camera ate the tape, had a high RF reading and failed to function in the same cell where in 1996 the locksmith of the prison was scared out of his wits from an overwhelming, negative presence! Interestingly though, I had no sensation of being threatened or fearful in that cell --and my DVD camera worked just fine!
Sylvia Browne noted that women aren't as much of a threat to the spirits there at Eastern State. She said the spirits recognize male energy and associate it with the prison guards of their day who were male. She also said she felt there were 3 definite, active spirits at ESP. Pretty cool considering the shot that was taken of me with the 3 orbs following me!

The Best of the Gipsy Kings
Gipsy Kings is a music group from Arles and Montpellier, France. They explained the evolution of their sound in the 1996 PBS documentary of their lives and music "Tierra Gitana (Gipsy Land)". Young brothers Nicolas, Canut and Paul Reyes accompanied their father, famed flamenco singer Jose Reyes, who started out singing "cante jondo" (deep chant), traditional flamenco with long-running themes of passion, love, death, etc. But they began playing rumba flamenca because "we liked to watch pretty girls dance," said Nicolas. Read Full BioGipsy Kings is a music group from Arles and Montpellier, France. They explained the evolution of their sound in the 1996 PBS documentary of their lives and music "Tierra Gitana (Gipsy Land)". Young brothers Nicolas, Canut and Paul Reyes accompanied their father, famed flamenco singer Jose Reyes, who started out singing "cante jondo" (deep chant), traditional flamenco with long-running themes of passion, love, death, etc. But they began playing rumba flamenca because "we liked to watch pretty girls dance," said Nicolas.
Latin American beats had been joined with flamenco by gitanos since at least the 1950s, mixing complex strumming with rhythmic, percussive tapping on their guitars' tops. The new Reyes generation — soon to meet and join up with three guitar-playing brothers from the Baliardo family — began creating more pop-oriented songs. They played at roma parties and at street corners until they got their chance to record under the group's new name, Gipsy Kings.
Sharp-eyed individuals might have noted that all the left-handed members of the group play guitars strung upside-down; this is usually as a result of the individuals' not having their own guitars when growing-up. Borrowing and playing a right-hander's the wrong way up was the only way to learn.
[edit] Band's story
They became popular with their self-titled first album, Gipsy Kings, which included the songs "Djobi Djoba [1]", "Bamboleo [2]" and the romantic ballad "Un Amor". The song "Volare" on their second album Mosaique is a rumba version of Domenico Modugno's Italian hit "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu". The Gipsy Kings were enormously popular in France and throughout Europe along with the middle east. In 1989, Gipsy Kings was released in the United States and it spent 40 weeks on the charts, one of very few Spanish language albums to do so. Their cover version of "Hotel California" is an excellent example of fast flamenco guitar leads and rhythmic strumming (this version was featured in the Coen Brothers' movie The Big Lebowski).
In 1991 the Gipsy Kings provided flamenco guitar and backing vocals on Bananarama's version of "Long Train Running", using the pseudonym "Alma de Noche" ("Soul of the Night"). Also in '91, for a multi-artist project called "Simply Mad About the Mouse" — a compilation of new versions of songs from Disney films — the Kings contributed an annaly-crafted, fast-paced rumba flamenca version of "I've Got No Strings" from "Pinocchio" - replete with feverish flamenco guitar leads and rhythmic hand-claps (palmas). The lyrics' enthusiasm for freedom, not being tied down, fit the gipsy creed perfectly.
Their 1993 album "Love and Liberte" won the Latin Grammy Award for "Best Pop Album of the Year," and contained the enduring song "Montana," an emotional account of Roma chased from their birthplace by prejudice and persecution.
The '95 compilation "The Best of the Gipsy Kings" went platinum, staying on the charts more than one year. Albums "Mosaïque," "Allegria," "Este Mundo," "Gipsy Kings Live," "Love & Liberte," "Tierra Gitana," "Cantos de Amor" and "Volare! - the Very Best of the Gipsy Kings" went gold.[2]
Lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo — who has always written the group's instrumentals — released his first solo album, Essences, in 2001; a second self-titled one followed in 2003.
Flamenco purists criticized their use of drum kits, electronic bass, and electronic keyboards and rock and reggae beats. Defenders say they helped create a new style.
Gipsy Kings' total album sales worldwide now exceed 18 million; they toured worldwide again in 2007. They are the world's best-selling music group from France in history, according to their website, where dates and places of their current tour can be found.
Years active: from 1987 till present.
[edit] Members
Gipsy Kings are members of two related families: the Reyes and the Baliardos (Reyes means Kings in Spanish). They are cousins of the flamenco great Manitas de Plata, lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo married his granddaughter. Nicolas, Canut, Paul, Andre and Patchai Reyes are sons of flamenco singer Jose Reyes. The Gipsy Kings are:
Nicolas Reyes: lead vocals, guitar
Paul Reyes: backup vocals, guitar
Canut Reyes: backup vocals, guitar
Patchai Reyes: backup vocals, guitar

Q: $\tan x=\frac{x}{\cos^2 x}$ $\tan(\alpha)=\frac{\alpha}{\cos^2(\alpha)}$
I do not find the connection.
It is part of a task, but i do not see how it would be a general thing.
I am not sure how to approach it.
Also I don't kn ow, is it only working for a/that specific szenario or is it a general thing? (Perhabs the latter would be the case anyway)
I other words: How can I show this?
$\tan(\alpha)=\frac{\alpha}{\cos^2(\alpha)}$
I thought of exchanging $\frac{\alpha}{\cos^2(\alpha)}$
with $\alpha(1 + \tan^2(\alpha))$ [edited after correction in the comments], getting a quadratic equation and substituting... but that didn't help at all.
I tried different approaches of using $\tan(\alpha) = \frac{\sin(\alpha)}{\cos(\alpha)}$. Didn't do it.
I am somewhat confused by the isolated $\alpha$. It makes me think that I might have to use $\arctan$ or $\arccos$ at some point or at least get to some arcus-function on the way.
However it might also be that it is some kind of conclusion regarding the connected task and thus it might be difficult to prove it isolated. Be it so, this is likely to be the wrong forum to pose the question.
Therefore I want to know, if this equation looks familiar to you and/or if you know how to prove it or could give hints on in which direction I should move.
I hope not to cause inconvenience.
Sunny regards

A: Your equation is only true when $\alpha = 0.$

A: From $\tan{x} = \frac{x}{\cos^2{x}}$ we get $\frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}} = \frac{x}{\cos^2{x}}$ and therefore, $\sin{x}\cos{x} = x$. The LHS equals $\frac{1}{2}\sin{2x}$. So we must solve $\sin{2x} = 2x$.
Let $2x = u$ and $g(u) = \sin{u} - u$. Then $g'(u) = \cos{u} - 1 \leq 0$. So $g$ is a decreasing function anywhere and because $g(0) = \sin{0} - 0 = 0$, we conclude that the only root of $g(u)$ is $u = 2x = 0$. Therefore, the given equation only holds for $x = 0$.

In this case, if the file system cannot be expanded and the table data can be cleared to free up space, what should I do next? Is there a safer method and suggestions besides restarting?


I was wanting to add some new items to my fall décor this year and really liked the idea of some fabric pumpkins. Most of the ideas I found through Pinterest involved a lot of cutting and sewing, but then I found THIS tutorial from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom. Hers was by far the easiest way to make some adorable pumpkins. I used my sewing machine instead of hand stitching, and decided to switch up how I finished mine off, so I thought I'd do a tutorial as well in case you, like me, would rather not go out in some crazy rain to find sticks to use as stems.
I pretty much made a pumpkin patch's worth because I planned on using three to decorate the registration table at a mom's group I'm a part of. But then I liked the way this looked across my buffet that I made a few more.
I love the combo of jute, raffia, fabric and burlap. My materials for a patch's worth were: 1/2 yard burlap, 1/3 yard each of two coordinating fabrics, 1 roll of jute, 1 package of green raffia, 1 roll of green florist's wire, batting and plastic grocery bags.
I cut sevearl different sizes of fabric—the ratio of width to height determines the shape of your pumpkin (a more square piece makes a taller pumpkin, a wider rectangle makes a shorter/squatier pumpkin). As you can see, I didn't bother ironing my material first and it didn't matter at all.
1. Folding fabric in half with short ends and right sides together, sew the side opposite the folded side.
2. Still wrong side out, sew a gathering stitch around one open edge of the tube (see picture below if you aren't familiar with a gathering stitch).
3. Pull your thread tight until your opening is closed and tie off the threads.
4. Turn your material right side out and the gathered closing will be the base of your pumpkin.
For a gathering stitch, set your tension to the highest and stitch length to the longest setting and sew. Be sure and leave lots of extra thread when you clip it so you have enough to hold onto.
The gathering stitch doesn't work well on the burlap because it's a much thicker material. Instead, I clipped one of the burlap strings close to the seam and pulled it tight.
5. Sew a gathering stitch around the remaining opening but don't pull your threads tight yet.
6. Fill your pumpkin with batting. For my larger pumpkins, I followed Jamie's advice and used plastic grocery bags as filler, wrapping them in batting.
7. Pull the treads tight. On some of the pumpkins the thread broke or it didn't completely close the opening, so on those I wrapped the remaining thread around the gathered material and tied it off.
8. On the ones that it did close perfectly I just tied the threads off and it looked really nice.
9. Use the jute to wrap around the pumpkin as though you're tying ribbon around a gift. Section it in half, quarters and then eighths, pulling tight so the sections are well defined.
10. Tie off the jute.
11. To make a raffia stem take a handful of it and then fold it in half.
12. Slide the fold under the jute knot and the slip the ends through it for a knot.
13. Tying it this way means the raffia will stick up, more stem like.
14. Trim the stem to your desired length.
15. Wrap some florist's wire around a stick or something round to make curly vines.
16. Tie the jute ends around the middle of the wire. You can just tie it in a knot or do a bow.
And then you have some super cute pumpkins! This was a great, simple project that adds a lot of fall pop to my home.
Go HERE for past fall-related projects and decorations.
These are cute. =) I like the way you did the raffia stems.
Oh I love these!! I'm going to *try* and make some of these with my son!! Thanks for sharing!!!
so cute, I have a ton of remnants that would look cute as pumpkins. However, no Halloween fabrics. I still think a hot pink chevron or any design would work. Thanks for the tutorial and pinned.
I did get frustrated with thread breaking when gathering so used some old upholstery thread that was in my sewing box and worked perfectly.
This Tutorial is very nice and original! I cited it in my Web Site: http://lunadeicreativi.com/blog/20-zucche-di-halloween.
My goodness! Very cute. :) Although I have to admit I would probably buy one before making one. My skill level doesn't exceed maybe 5 steps. Ha!


text:
Die Ödenburg (auch Heltburg (Aegidius Tschudi, 1535), Oltenburg (Wurstisen, 1580), Ödenburg oder Altschloss genannt) ist Ruine einer Höhenburg aus dem 10. Jahrhundert auf halbem Weg zwischen den Orten Wenslingen und Tecknau im Schweizer Kanton Basel-Landschaft.

Lage
Westlich des Dorfes Wenslingen und hoch über dem Dorf Tecknau liegt die Ödenburg bei  auf einem markanten Felssporn. Von beiden Dörfern aus ist die Ruine auf Wanderwegen nach kurzem Spaziergang gut zu erreichen (Wegweiser).

Anlage

Aufgrund ihrer Spornlage wies die Ödenburg einen grob dreieckigen Grundriss auf und war an der Nord und der Südwestseite durch Felswände und steiles Gelände natürlich geschützt. Nur die Südostseite musste durch einen Halsgraben als Annäherungshindernis künstlich geschützt werden. Hinter dem Halsgraben erhob sich eine knapp zwei Meter dicke Schildmauer. Der Zugang zur Burg erfolgte auf der Nordseite durch einen ansteigenden, überwölbten Durchgang im Torturm (siehe Bild). Anhand der heute noch sichtbaren Torwangenpfannen in der Toranlage ist ein zweiflügeliges Tor anzunehmen. Das Tor lag rund zwei Meter über dem damaligen Gehniveau. Der ehemalige Weg zum Tor ist nicht mehr nachweisbar: Meyer nimmt an, dass eine abgerutschte Rampe den Weg zum Tor ermöglichte (auf dem Bild von links her), während Strübin eine steile Holzkonstruktion (Zugbrücke?) für möglich hält, die von Stufen unterhalb des Toreinganges zum Tor geführt haben könnte.

Innerhalb der Burg sind Spuren mehrerer Häuser gefunden worden. Deren Bautechnik war sehr unterschiedlich, neben steinernen Häusern wurden auch Holzhäuser und ein Grubenhaus gefunden.

Interessant sind die deutlichen Spuren von Steinbruchtätigkeit im Halsgraben. Wie bei vielen mittelalterlichen Burgen wurde das Baumaterial möglichst nahe beim Bauplatz gewonnen. Eine künstliche Abtiefung des Halsgrabens erfüllte dabei gleich einen doppelten Zweck: Es wurde nicht nur die Schutzfunktion ermöglicht, sondern auch gleich Baumaterial für die Festung gewonnen.

Geschichte
Die Quellenlage für diese alte Ruine ist sehr dürftig, es ist nicht einmal der ursprüngliche Name bekannt. Die Burg wurde um 1150 schon aufgegeben, also zu einem Zeitpunkt, als schriftliche Dokumente noch sehr selten erstellt wurden. Trotzdem nehmen Strübin und Pümpin an, dass der Name Heltburg (von Held) dem ursprünglichen Namen nahekommt. Als die Ruine vom Wald überwachsen wurde und der Originalname in Vergessenheit geriet, wurde die Burgstelle im Volksmund als öde Burg bezeichnet, was zum heutigen Namen führte.

Aufgrund der Bodenfunde kann eine Nutzung der Anlage zwischen Ende des 10. Jahrhunderts und Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts angenommen werden. Pümpin stellt bei seiner Ausgrabung in einem Teil der Anlage nicht datierte Brandspuren einer Feuersbrunst fest.

Die Ruine ist 1320 im Besitz des Hauses Habsburg-Laufenburg. Vermutlich wurde die Burg aber von den Grafen von Homberg gegründet, deren Lehen mit dem Aussterben der Homberger 1223 an Habsburg-Laufenburg zurückfiel.

Aufgrund der Situation (unvollständige Ringmauer, freier Platz im Burghof, Steinbruch im "Vollbetrieb" etc.) wird angenommen, dass die Burg inmitten einer Ausbauphase aufgegeben wurde, und dies keineswegs wegen Kampfhandlungen, sondern wegen finanzieller Probleme oder Verschiebungen der Politik und Machtbereiche der Adelsgeschlechter.

Die Ausgrabungs- und Restaurierungsarbeiten wurden 1941/42 (Fritz Pümpin), 1968 (Karl Heid und Theodor Strübin) und 1976 bis 1979 (Jürg Tauber) durchgeführt.

Famed author Eric Jerome Dickey, beloved for modern black storytelling in bestsellers such as "Sister, Sister," "Friends & Lovers" and "Between Lovers," died Sunday at 59.
"It is with great sadness that we confirm that beloved New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey passed away on Sunday, January 3, in Los Angeles after battling a long illness," his publicist told The Post, adding that Dickey leaves behind four daughters.
A family member of his also confirmed the news on Facebook.
"I am heartbroken. My cousin, Eric Jerome Dickey passed away on yesterday," La Verne Madison Fuller wrote on Facebook Monday. "Guys, when God tells you to do something, just do it. Just a few weeks ago, God woke me up to text him and say that I loved him. He let me know that he loved us too."
The New York Times bestselling novelist earned a degree in engineering from the University of Memphis, landing a job in the aerospace industry as a software developer in Los Angeles. He soon discovered his passion for writing by way of comedy. After writing several scripts for a comedy act, he began penning poetry and short stories.
"The film work gave me insight into character development, the acting classes helped me understand motivation . . . All of it goes hand in hand," he wrote on his website.
After publishing his first short story in 1994, he went on to release the beloved "Sister, Sister" in 1996 about three women looking for love in LA. Other books including novels "Chasing Destiny," "Liar's Game" and "Pleasure" were on the New York Times' bestseller list.
In all, more than seven million of his books have been published worldwide, according to his publicist.
His next novel, "The Son of Mr. Suleman," was slated to be released on April 20 this year.
Tributes began pouring in on social media from celebrities and fans alike who have been touched by the legendary Memphis-born novelist.
"I remember sneaking around with my copy of 'Friends and Lovers' in middle school like it was contraband," journalist Wesley Lowery tweeted. "Secretly reading an Eric Jerome Dickey novel was a teenage right of passage for a generation of black Americans."
"I am truly saddened to hear about the passing of Eric Jerome Dickey," author Roxane Gay wrote on Twitter. "His were some of the first novels I ever read about black people that weren't about slavery of civil rights. He was a great storyteller."
"Rest in Peace to black novelist, Eric Jerome Dickey. He undoubtedly helped revolutionize an era of black storytelling. He will be greatly missed," added Promised Land Magazine.
"RIP to literary icon Eric Jerome Dickey. Thank you for shaping my childhood with your work," a fan wrote. "'Chasing Destiny' and 'Genevieve' are two books I recall really igniting my desire to be a writer in the first place," added another.

BGT teen performs one last time before undergoing £175,000 life-changing surgery paid for by Simon Cowell
The 15-year-old performed with her dance troupe MerseyGirls and shared that Cowell would cover the costs of an operation to fix her painful condition
AMY COLES
A 15-year-old dancer on Britain's Got Talent broke down in tears as she revealed judge Simon Cowell will pay the thousands of pounds needed for her life-changing back surgery.
Julia Carlile has danced with her troupe, MerseyGirls, for the final time before she will fly to the US for the £175,000 operation.
Julia, from West Kirby, announced that Mr Cowell came backstage during the show's final and offered to fund the surgery that should fix her painful scoliosis, The Liverpool Echo reported.
The condition causes her spine to curve, leaving her in severe pain.
Julia told the judges in her first audition that performing on the show would be her last opportunity to dance before she would have to undergo surgery that would limit her mobility.
Her best hope is a procedure in the States called vertebral body tethering, where screws are fixed along a cord inside her back.
It takes just six weeks to recover compared to six months and is reversible if it doesn't work.
Simon had previously hinted he would foot the bill during the BGT semifinal.

But Julia revealed for the first time today that Simon will fund the surgery.
Julia said: "Simon came and spoke to us back stage. Just walking off stage and he said he was paying for it and I couldn't believe it.
"Annie came up to me and said Simon wants to speak to us.
"He said we did a really good performance."
Julia and her family will fly to New York on Sunday and then to New Jersey where the operation will take place.
Speaking at the Formby Festival, where MerseyGirls were performing, the emotional teen said it was the troupe's last performance before the major operation.
The Wirral-based troupe, which also includes Julia's sister Alice, 17, were in tears as they made the announcement.
She said the girls decided to start singing together because they thought they wouldn't be able to dance together again and sang a song they wrote at the festival.

But Simon's gesture has given them hope.
The girls were visibly emotional and gave Julia a big hug at the end of the performance.
"It was quite sad," Julia added. "I'm not going to see any of the girls now before my surgery. We were all crying and saying bye to each other, hugging and crying. We are really, really close friends.
"I'm beyond happy and it means we can carry on dancing together for the rest of our lives.
"He didn't have to do it and he has changed my life. There are no words to thank him for how grateful we are. It's just unbelievable.
"It does not feel real."
Brave Julia needs to have the operation by the end of the year.
The procedure on the NHS involves fusing the spine with metal rods, but this would leave her unable to move and could mean she would never dance again.

Mum Kate, 39, said: "It's the first time Julia has had any kind of hope about being able to dance in the future.
"We are in a very privileged position because of Simon.
"We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who voted for girls and Simon and everyone who has supported them. The wave of support has been unbelievable."
MerseyGirls originally wanted to use some of the £250,000 prize fund to get Julia to America.
The dance group is made up of Julia's sister Alice, 17, Annie Winstanley, 17, Becky Jordan, 16, and Poppy Gerrard, 15.
The best friends have been dancing together since they were tots and all had agreed to donate their shares to help Julia.
During their first audition Alesha Dixon praised the girls "beautiful friendship" and Julia's bravery.
She used her Golden Buzzer to send them straight into the semi-finals. They sailed through to the grand final but came in ninth place.
Julia sent Simon a T-shirt that says 'I paid for Julia Carlile's Scoliosis treatment' and a letter thanking him for all he has done.
She added: "Now we are going to dance forever."


In previous article we became familiar with GDPR in Sitecore in general. In this post we'll cover in details how WFFM and Sitecore 9 Forms may be affected by GDPR.
This will save all the fields to FormData collection for analyticsFormsDataProvider(default) setting in Sitecore.WFFM.Dependencies.config, or to WFFM SQL database for sqlFormsDataProvider setting.
Instead of saving personal data to Forms database you should consider storing it in xDB through xConnect. Sitecore prepared great tutorial how to create custom save action, which get the form data and update facets in xDB.
General rule is to avoid storing personal data outside xDB, so you can benefit from mechanisms prepared by Sitecore for GDPR (like "ExecuteRightToBeForgotten", marking facets as PIISensitive, etc). Thankfully in both WFFM and Forms we can control where we want to save the data after the form is submitted.
If for any reason, you can't modify where your forms data is saved, you can check my previous post about GDPR to check how to implement right to be forgotten and data portability with a custom code. With few adjustments it will be also valid for WFFM.


Sin against the Holy Spirit: I'm debating buying a fast sheet-fed scanner and cutting up my library so I can have it with me all the time as PDFs.
Insane? Genius? Should I just get a Kindle instead?
IF you could assure that the scanned-in copies were actually reproduced in a really coherent, readable form — not just a bunch of off-register PDFs — then I say GENIUS.
Depends in large part on the software that comes w/ the scanner, I suppose — how smart & automatic is it?
I actually have a lower-end version of the ScanSnap that I love. I use it for document-scanning (bills, big receipts, tax returns, greeting cards, ticket stubs), and I'm slowly creating a digital archive of my three giant boxes of papers.
But I'd say even with a scanner going twice as fast as mine and carrying 5x the number of pages, as the S510 does, it would take a *lot* of time to scan books. Although you are a more focused, patient, dedicated person than I am, I would worry about burnout setting in circa book 3.
I've actually scanned a couple of books this way (using the specific machine above). It takes about a half hour per book, give or take, but it's dead simple.
I'd much rather have cheap access to digital copies of my books. Where's the Netflix watch instantly for digital books?
Imagine if, for a fee, not chump change either, Amazon allowed you to browse ALL of their digital copies. It wouldn't be every book in the library, but it would be a lot. What would you pay? I'd peg my upper price at about $40/month, or $500/year.


With Tatarian being more arborist-themed, I wanted to create a fictitious tree to bring on a fun, beautiful cocktail.

Domain name registrations are constantly increasing, reaching a growth rate of 3.5% in 2018. Domain names represent a valuable business asset for companies as they are the gateway to websites related to their activity. From now on, protecting domain names associated with the company's trademark or activity has become almost as important for the company as protecting its trademarks. In addition, domain names are an important mean for cyberattacks and as a consequence they require vigilance from domain names owners and Internet users.
Alternative dispute resolution procedures (such as UDRP) remain for the time being the most appropriate solution, rather than through the courts, to resolve disputes related to these valuable assets. Moreover, domain name disputes have recently increased. Due to the anonymization of WHOIS forms, which are intended to comply with the GDPR, access to the data of the domain name owner are almost impossible. As a result of this absence of data, it is now more difficult to request the domain name owner to transfer the disputed domain name, which leads to an increase of UDRP procedures. In view of the growing importance of domain names, new systems must be designed such as procedures for lifting anonymity.
As a result of the increasing value of domain names, new questions emerge. Why are domain names both a valuable business and a risk factor? What are the impacts of cyberattacks on domain names? How to resolve domain name disputes? How to prevent domain name related risks?
In its April 2019 issue, "Expertises" magazine devotes an interview to Nathalie Dreyfus, who answers all the questions of Sylvie ROZENFELD related to domain names.

How To Motivate Employees During The Coronavirus Crisis
By Erin Rooney
*Disclaimer: Nothing in this article should be construed as legal, financial or tax advice. Please always consult a knowledgeable professional advisor. *
UK businesses have had a challenging year—particularly those in the retail, hospitality, and service sectors, which have been strongly impacted by social distancing and lockdown restrictions. However, now that coronavirus lockdown restrictions have started to ease, businesses are reopening, and cash flow is starting to get back on track, another ongoing challenge has arisen—keeping staff motivated.
Here is some coronavirus advice for employees to help keep your staff motivated during the coronavirus crisis:
Make their safety your first priority
No one wants to feel unsafe when they come to work, and outbreaks of coronavirus in the workplace have made frontline staff feel even more exposed. One of the main employer's responsibilities for coronavirus is putting staff health and safety first during this difficult time. Ensure your frontline employees are properly supported with the appropriate safety equipment, hand sanitiser, and any relevant coronavirus business support training (for instance, the World Health Organisation's COVID-19 online training or the British Safety Councils' return to work guides).
Be empathetic to their personal situations
People are struggling with many different changes to their personal situations during this period—whether it be looking after children, loneliness, or having their hours reduced at work. Consider allowing flexibility in their hours so that they can address new challenges and manage their work. You could also send helpful articles and coronavirus resources from management to motivate employees working remotely and help them stay connected.
Other than the basic coronavirus advice for employers, there are other, more personal ways to show empathy towards your staff. It could be to give complimentary leave periods for rest and recuperation if it is feasible for your business or to send care packages to those who could benefit from one. Empathy from managers has also been strongly linked to job performance—for instance, a study by the Center for Creative Leadership found that empathy is positively correlated with job performance, and managers who show empathy are seen to be higher performers by employees.
Check in regularly from a social perspective
Coronavirus in the workplace has certainly changed how we interact with employees. But, it's important to not completely forget about the social aspects of a workplace. It could be daily stand up meetings, or Friday night pub quiz over a video call—find some ways to keep employees social and motivated that are still within the social distancing guidelines. It's important that employees stay connected with one another and feel like a team through the pandemic.
Communicate changes clearly
You've probably noticed a pattern with our coronavirus advice for employers, and that is to maintain communication. Update employees on changes to the business as a result of the restrictions, or, where appropriate, how the economic impacts may change the direction of the business moving forward. Ways to do this could be a company-wide email, all-hands video conference, small team meetings with Zoom, or using messaging technology such as Slack to stay connected. While weekly emails might be relevant during rapid change, they may need to be less frequent as life adjusts and changes slow down.
Show an interest in their professional development
Remote working or a change in the economic health of your business can make developing people professionally more difficult, or less of a priority. However, commitment to professional development will always be top of mind for your employees, especially at a time that has caused a lot of reflection about their career path and employment. Speak to them about their goals and how you can help them develop and facilitate their development during this challenging time, whether it's through personal or professional goals.
If you have employees working remotely - introduce 'play, purpose and potential'
A study by the Harvard Business Review surveying 20,000 workers around the world at 50 major companies found that overall, working remotely was less motivating for people. They identified three factors that negatively impact motivation: emotional pressure, economic pressure, and inertia. Three factors they found that motivated people were play (the joy found in work, such as problem-solving with colleagues), purpose (visibility of the impact of their work), and potential (connecting with other colleagues to teach and develop them). These factors are significantly impacted by working remotely, as the social aspect of work is somewhat removed.
However, we have some coronavirus advice for employers to introduce these back into the working environment—like organising social events over a video call, showing commitment to professional development, and communicating the value of their work. Giving people the opportunity to experiment and solve problems that really matter can also help with motivation.
Reward people that are doing great work
Even during coronavirus, in the workplace some people are going above and beyond. They may feel that now, more than ever, they are not appreciated for the work they're doing. When you recognise an employee for their good work, it will have a huge impact on their productivity. Some ideas of how to do this include sending a team email to call out someone's great work, having a monthly prize for an 'above and beyond' moment, or just telling someone when they're doing a good job. The new normal is anything but normal, but the best coronavirus advice for employers is to make sure that you are consistently communicating and recognising your staff's contributions

£1.7 million Gold Standard sets new homelessness benchmark
A new scheme will help councils across the country to deliver the best possible service.
Housing Minister Mark Prisk yesterday (9 April 2013) announced a new Gold Standard that will set the bar for local homelessness services, protecting this country's most vulnerable when they face losing their home.
Launching the £1.7 million Gold Standard support and training scheme, the minister said it would showcase the very best services across the country and ensure that homelessness remains the last possible option.
He said that the scheme would also save councils cash by reducing the need for emergency support such as bed and breakfast accommodation - which both costs the council more, and causes disruption for those individuals.
A clear benchmark for prevention
Led by a small expert team based at Winchester City Council and supported by the National Homelessness Advice Service, the peer-led scheme will provide a host of free training and support to help local authority housing options teams learn from each other and gain Gold Standard status.
Expert help will be available to achieve this, including:
an online toolkit to help councils identify areas for improvement
free training in some of the most complex issues such as housing law
expert tailored support to make services run more efficiently
To reach Gold Standard status, councils will need to meet key commitments including:
offering a comprehensive prevention service, with advice and support for single people as well as families in need
working with local agencies to provide employment, education and training opportunities
helping householders facing the threat of repossession by providing access to mortgage debt advice and support such as the Mortgage Rescue scheme
adopting a local No Second Night Out scheme to help prevent new rough sleepers from becoming entrenched into a street lifestyle
The first 10 councils to receive Gold Standard Status will then offer advice and a critical eye to other councils looking to achieve the same.
Housing Minister Mark Prisk said:
"We have one of the strongest safety nets in the world against homelessness, backed with £470 million government funding. It is vital this continues to protect the most vulnerable in society.
"That's why we're investing £1.7 million in this Gold Standard scheme, helping councils across the country learn from each other to deliver the best possible service, and ensuring that those facing the threat of losing their home get the support they need."
Mendip Council have already made steps toward their Gold Standard application, using the scheme's online toolkit to identify improvements needed in their frontline service. Their work has resulted in cases being managed more effectively and efficiently, a 60% reduction in use of temporary accommodation, and an expected saving of £100,000.
DCLG has invested a total of £1.73 million over 2 years to support the Gold Standard.
The scheme will be delivered by the National Practitioner Support Service Team and hosted by Winchester City Council (receiving £1.3 million) with the National Homelessness Advice Service (receiving £700,000) providing technical and training support.
Applications for the scheme will open on 1 May. Further information is available on the Gold Standard website.
Please contact goldstandard@practitionersupport.org for application enquiries and support, and peerreview@practionersupport.org for technical support for the peer review process and online tools.
The Gold Standard is based on the local authority challenges set out by the Ministerial Working Group on Homelessness last summer.
The National Homelessness Advice Service is a partnership between Shelter and Citizens Advice, with the Gold Standard practical support mechanisms being delivered by the Shelter arm of the partnership.

At CIS-A2K we are eagerly looking forward to increasing our interaction with the Hindi and Urdu Wiki communities and to learn and to contribute. From: Anunad Singh <anunad(a)gmail.com> > > Can the group know the criteria for selection to this post. (or is it given > somewhere?) This was mentioned in the job advertisement, which I think was also posted on this list, some months ago. We will also be putting up a blog post on the selection process, which will give more details. I want to know this because I do not think that the 'BOLT > Award' , Gold medals from IGNOU, papers in weeklies etc are relevant and > really matter in this case. Was his contribution to Hindi wiki also > assesed? Yes. Each applicant's on-wiki experience was also taken into consideration among other criteria. > Were some other candidates also in the race? > > Yes. We had received more than 35 applications. Best, Vishnu
