The Easter Bunny is yet to visit our place. I think the Easter Bunny is waiting for all the kids to have their breakfast and have a shower before jumping the fence into our backyard. I keep reminding the kids that the Easter Bunny isn't going to visit if they keep checking outside. 🙂 While we wait for the Easter Bunny- I thought I would take a quick moment to share a couple of Easter projects.
The Easter eggs on the front have been simply punched out of patterned paper using the wide oval punch I think that adding a bow of pretty in pink taffeta ribbon adds a special touch. I wanted it to look as though the Easter eggs were nestled in the garden and wanted to stamp a background that reflected that. I used the two images from the "Thoughts and prayers" stamp set. The greenery you see the eggs sitting on is actually the tree stamped upside down. I have applied a very small amount of dazzling diamonds to the centre of each of the flowers at the top- it is hard to make it out in the photo but I think it adds a little special something to the card.
The second project is a milk carton containing mini easter eggs.
The milk carton base is the lovely "Elegant Eggplant" colour.
It is simply a matter of assembling the box using sticky strip and decorating as desired. I hope you found these measurements useful.
I hope my lovely blog readers enjoy a lovely Easter today. I'm hopping off to go and spend time with my family.


Funded by te European Social Fund, Trendwolves is working on a project to empower graduated art students in their professional career by focussing on entrepreneurial skills.
Four out of five Belgian, graduated art students are still looking for a job one year after graduation.
They are undervalued and struggling to convince possible customers or future employers of their economic, added value. Besides that, a focus on entrepreneurship is almost absent in most Flemish art schools and students experience this as a major lack. These youngsters are talented, creative, skilled and ambitious. Most of them want to make a living out of their skill, but few of them know how to do so.
On the other hand we see creativity as the skill of the future. Our economy has become faster, more complex and unpredictable than ever before. We stand before unprecedented challenges that bring our economic model into a permanent crisis. How can we handle this? We need creative solutions to be innovative: thinking outside the box, being critical towards the constantly changing contexts, co-create & co-reflect.
With our ESF project, we want to bring those two actors (businesses & young artists) together. So they can learn from each other and share skills. We want to do this through a two day, creative hackathon. Where businesses can gain insight in 'creative thinking' and young artists can develop a more entrepreneurial mindset.
Were are currently working on a pilot that will be ready summer 2018. Sooooo, stay tuned!

Mary Seacole to Be Honoured With Stamp
Jamaican icon, Mary Seacole, will be among 10 Britons to be honoured in a new series of Royal Mail stamps to be issued this summer.
The stamps, which will commemorate the National Portrait Gallery's 150th anniversary, will also feature William Shakespeare, Virginia Wolf, Winston Churchill, and T.S. Elliot.
The only known portrait of the Jamaican born nurse went on display at the National Portrait Gallery in February last year, after not being seen for several decades.
This artwork dates from around 1869 and was painted by London artist, Albert Challen. It shows an older Seacole wearing a red neckerchief and the three medals, which she was awarded for service in the Crimean War. There is no other known painted portrait of Seacole, who died in 1881 in her London home.
Mary Seacole was voted the greatest black Briton in 2004, and 2005 marked the bicentenary of her birth. A campaign to erect a statue in her honour in central London has also been launched.

Syrian Refugee Crisis: Abandonment, Discrimination, and Response
The refugee crisis in the Middle East continues to swell as the civil war in Syria enters its seventh year. Ongoing atrocities of the Assad regime, including indiscriminate use of incendiary weapons and starvation siege tactics, as well as the escalating brutality of armed groups continue to displace millions of innocent people.
By on May 11, 2018
The length and severity of the conflict in Syria provoked an unprecedented wave of migrants seeking safe haven in neighboring countries. Several years ago, as the burden faced by some countries increased (particularly Greece, Italy, and Hungary), tensions arose in the European Union (EU). In September 2015, the EU Commission announced a plan to accept asylum-seekers from front-line Mediterranean countries under a quota system. The commitment consisted of relocating 160,000 people in need of international protection by September 2017. Failure to comply with the resettlement requirements of this plan would trigger a penalty of 250,000 euros (about $287,000) per migrant. As of September 2017, 17.3% of the target had been met.
Syria's neighboring countries, in particular Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan, are hosting the vast majority of the refugee population. However, none of these countries have fully ratified international agreements to protect refugees' rights, and their governments have enacted discriminatory legislation against refugees, making it more difficult for them to obtain legal aid, work permits, education for children, and psychosocial assistance. This leaves refugees extremely vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
Despite the lack of protection and disproportionate numbers hosted by Syria's neighboring countries, European governments sought a joint solution to prevent refugees from seeking protection in Europe. After the 2015 wave of refugees who arrived in Europe headed mostly for Germany and Sweden, the EU announced the closure of the Western Balkans route in March 2016, effectively trapping thousands of refugees in the midst of their journey. Major international donors pulled out of the region as the refugee flow was forcibly redirected, leaving few resources for those left behind. At the same time, the EU cleared the way for unlawful returns to Turkey declaring it a "safe third country," despite its lack of refugee protections.
In February 2017, as part of their continuous effort to prevent migrants from reaching European shores, the EU agreed to give Libya's government $215 million to stop migrant boats in the country's territorial waters and set up refugee camps. Libya has also extended its "Search and Rescue" zone into international waters, restricting access to humanitarian vessels. As a result, last summer, groups such as Médecins Sans Frontieres, Save the Children, and Sea Eye suspended their rescue operations.
These impediments have not stopped the migration. In fact, hundreds of thousands of migrants still cross the Mediterranean from Africa into Italy every year, and arrivals via the old route of Macedonia and Serbia, or from Turkey via Bulgaria and Serbia, still happen every day. Since March 2016 the journey has only become more difficult, more expensive, and more dangerous.
The callous abandonment of goodwill toward refugees is visible outside of Europe as well. In the United States, President Trump has drastically lowered the refugee admissions cap and signed an executive order that barred entry to the United States to refugees from 11 countries, including war-torn Syria. The United States is also witnessing a surge in xenophobic and Islamophobic political rhetoric, and with it a rise in reported hate crimes against Muslims and other minorities.
Refugees, who face death if they are returned home, are confronted with terrible uncertainty and limitations on their rights every way they turn.
Balkans Migrant Route: County-by-Country Status
The situation along the Balkan route differs from country to country. For the first months of 2015, when migrants and refugees were allowed to pass through informal border crossings, the Balkan route started in Turkey, then went from Greece through Macedonia and Serbia into Hungary. A secondary route also beginning in Turkey formed through Bulgaria into Serbia and continued through Hungary. Upon crossing Hungary, refugees and migrants continued toward northern countries in Europe.

As of April 15, there are approximately 3,722 new refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants in Serbia, a decrease of almost 50 percent since last year. These individuals are mostly accommodated in camps set up by the Serbian authorities. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operate with the consent of the Commissariat for Refugees (CRS) inside the camps to provide basic necessities such as food, shelter, and medical care. Most people wait to enter Hungary based on an unofficial list.
Attempts to cross the Hungary-Croatia border occur regularly and are met with resistance that is sometimes very violent.
At the end of 2017, Hungary had 678 people in asylum proceedings and had granted 1,216 people protection. Since January 2018, only two people per day have been admitted, which Hungarian authorities deny. During the asylum procedure, asylum-seekers cannot leave the transit area, and NGOs are denied access. The process can last many months, and those who are denied asylum are sent back to Serbia. Those who are successful in their application are moved to an open camp.
Detention conditions in Hungary are unfit for the long stay of migrants and refugees. UUSC partner, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee argued the appeal of a case to the European Court of Human Rights, which found the country in violation of the prohibition of inhuman treatment. The European Court has also issued temporary measures ordering the transfer of applicants to more humane centers, but Hungary has not complied.
Migrants found outside the transit zone are regularly pushed back to Serbia through the use of beatings, pepper spray, and attack dogs. The Hungarian state has also deployed 3,000 additional "border hunters," to support police monitoring the border.
NGOs in Hungary, including our partner the Hungarian Helsinki Committee have taken a firm stand for the protection of the human rights of refugees, assisting refugees and raising awareness of their plight, while initiating numerous successful strategic litigation cases against the government. As a result, the government has placed restrictions on NGOs' work and many have been accused of being illegitimate foreign agents or advocates of potential "terrorists." The government recently proposed legislation that would require NGOs assisting migrants to obtain a licence, thereby providing a mechanism that allows the government to shut these organizations down.
On April 8, 2018, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's coalition was re-elected. His administration has taken a hard-line approach to immigration that is often inflammatory and laced with islamophobic rhetoric. He now claims a mandate to handle the refugee situation and has refused to honor the quota set by the EU in addition to passing the anti-NGO legislation as the first order of business for the new parliament.
About 880 people applied for protection status in Croatia in 2017. Asylum-seekers are mostly accommodated in two centers in Zagreb and Kutina. NGOs have access to those centers.
Croatia has increased restrictions on refugees. In many cases, status has been denied because of alleged "security checks" conducted by police forces. The basis of these decisions are not disclosed to the applicant, and therefore cannot be challenged.
Croatian police have been responsible for a number of pushbacks against migrants seeking entry, some of them particularly violent. NGOs have began accompanying refugees and migrants to the police station to prevent their forced deportation and ensure their safety.
UUSC's Response Strategy in the Face of Changing Political Context
UUSC works in areas overlooked by traditional relief agencies where we know our efforts can spur solutions on the ground that center the needs and voices of affected people. Beginning in 2015, we responded to this crisis with a strategy to partner with organizations working on the front lines to support Syrian refugees across their entire journey, from first arrival in neighboring countries to successful resettlement in Europe or the United States. Key components of this effort included:
Emergency aid and resettlement support in Greece, Croatia, and Serbia: Working with partners including Are You Syrious and the Centre for Peace Studies to document human rights abuses, as well as offer medical aid, mental health support, and resettlement assistance to long-term refugees.
Legal access in Hungary, Jordan, and the United States: With partners such as the Hungarian Helsinki Committee and the Arab Renaissance for Democracy — Legal Aid we are providing legal assistance and awareness training, reunifying family members, and assisting refugees in navigating the resettlement processes, including how to challenge discriminatory treatment.
Advocacy in Europe and the United States: Together with our partners the Arab American Civic Council and Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, among others, we are raising public awareness and sensitivity around refugee issues, challenging xenophobic sentiments and legislation and upholding the inherent dignity of immigrant communities.
As discussed above, in just a few short years the circumstances facing refugees have changed drastically. Our current strategy responds to the fact that what were once "transit countries" are increasingly "countries of permanent stay." UUSC is now supporting refugees in Greece, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, and Macedonia to ensure:
Access to protection: Combating illegal border pushbacks, protecting right to asylum – primarily through monitoring, advocacy and legal aid.
Refugee integration: Community organizing and family reunification.
We also continue our efforts to support civil society and relationship-building, and organized a partner-led convening in Europe last fall to facilitate collaboration between our partners on the ground, as we support advocacy efforts and litigation to increase refugee admissions and resettlement in the United States.
Through this work UUSC strives to uphold the dignity and human rights of refugees, providing a compassionate response to a crisis that is as urgent as ever.

The Potter County Sheriff's Office is receiving a boost in its effort to aid inmates interested in pursuing academic opportunities. On the heels of a second inmate receiving his GED last month via a partnership with Amarillo College, Sheriff Brian Thomas recently noted the school has granted the Potter County Detention Center a second GED instructor.
"Amarillo College is actually providing us with another teacher at no cost to the county," he said. "Our partnership with them has worked really well. We've had two people graduate and the first graduate ended up enrolling in one of the trade schools. We're very happy with the interest our GED program has generated."
Officials said there are currently 14 inmates in the GED program and the detention center is working with Amarillo College as a means of helping inmates advance their academic pursuits after they complete their GED requirements and gain release.
In December the Potter County Detention Center conducted its second inmate GED graduation ceremony in conjunction with the No Limits No Excuses of Amarillo initiative. Officials said the GED study process involves implementation of the PLATO software, which enables students to work at their own pace while following a prescribed curriculum. A unique benefit of the software, per officials, is it affords GED students the opportunity to continue their pursuit anywhere there is a computer and internet connection.
"It warms my heart to know the detention center's GED program is continuing to grow and thrive," Amarillo resident Courtney Morris said. "I believe the Sheriff's Office will continue to be blessed thanks to program's like this that give folks another chance to improve their lot in life. Amarillo College deserves a big pat on the back, too, because education is key to enhancing quality of life."

Red Sox Clash with Charitable Foundation over "B Strong"
Jason Schneiderman
February 28, 2014; El Paso Times
As the New England area recovered from the tragic aftermath of the bombings at the Boston Marathon, local sports teams like the Boston Bruins and the Boston Red Sox showed their solidarity with their hometown fans by taking up the slogan, "Boston Strong." For the Sox, this meant using their signature "B" icon to make an abbreviated version—"B Strong"—that popped up on all kinds of merchandise and even cut into the grass at Fenway Park.
However, it turns out that "B Strong" is the trademarked motto of the Braden Aboud Memorial Foundation, established in 2007 to celebrate the memory of a Texan teenager. The foundation supports multiple charitable initiatives in the El Paso area, including the City of El Paso Afterschool Project, the Great Shoe Giveaway, the B Warm Blanket Drive, and The University of Texas at El Paso Braden Aboud Endowment for Area Athletes.
They're also vigorous about defense of their trademark; in 2011, the El Paso Times reports, "the Braden Aboud Foundation had to ask the family of Belinda Hernandez, a former Chapin High School softball player who died from brain cancer, to not use 'Bee Strong' while gathering cancer donations because of the trademark." So at this time, the Aboud Foundation, having sent the Red Sox a number of cease and desist letters, is considering legal action against the team and Major League Baseball.
In multiple sources, Gary Aboud, director of the foundation and Braden's father, was quoted as saying, "We're at an impasse and I'm afraid soon we will be going to court over it. It's a David versus Goliath battle." The Foundation asserts that the Red Sox have used the slogan for a number of purposes, including charitable ones, but the Braden Aboud Foundation was not approached as one of those charities.
The Red Sox, in a statement, expressed surprise about the degree of offense taken by the foundation. "Until [the] press report, the Red Sox had been unaware that the amicable discussions that were being had with the Braden Aboud Foundation were not progressing to resolve the matter. The Red Sox look forward to further such discussions and to a positive resolution—one that would, among other things, allow our distinct charitable interests mutually and successfully to co-exist.".—Jason Schneiderman

Q: Query if array column contains one or more values I have a Rails 5 application, with a PostgreSQL 9.6 database.
The application has Report model, with a department_ids array field, which is defined in schema.rb as:
t.integer "department_ids", default: [], array: true

I need to write a query which returns report rows where the department_ids column contains one or more of a given set of department_ids.
My current workaround is to do this in Ruby with:
department_ids = [2, 5]

reports = Report.all.select do |report|
  (report.department_ids & department_ids).any?
end

However, using select has the downside of returning an Array instead of ActiveRecord::Relation, which means I need to hydrate the filtered results back into ActiveRecord::Relation objects.
Report.where(id: reports.map(&:id))

I'd like to avoid that step, and handle this all in a single query.
How can I write query like this with Active Record?

A: Something like this should work:
Report.where('department_ids @> ARRAY[?]::integer[]', [2, 5])

You could find more information about array functions and operators here

A: Here is my scope examples.
First one will search for at least one intersection (record column will contain at least one)
Second one will require to match all (!) of the items in the array
scope :tagged_one_of, -> (tags) { tags ? where("tags && ARRAY[?]::varchar[]", tags) : all }
scope :tagged_all_of, -> (tags) { tags ? where("tags @> ARRAY[?]::varchar[]", tags) : all }

Example:
Product.where(filter).where(sub_filter).tagged_one_of(tags_array)

The year is ending and another one is about to start. But before we bring in the new, it's time to recall all the events that defined and redefined our lives in the past 12 months.
For Brussels, 2018 turned out to be a year of defining moments, interesting events, and some surprises, both pleasant and unpleasant. Before we say goodbye to this year, let's look back on some of the happenings that made 2018 a unique year for the city.
A non-partisan citizens' initiative led by Thomas Huddleston of Migration Policy Group and Ixelles Councillor Bertrand Wert launched the #1Bru1Vote campaign. More than 5,000 people have signed the petition to grant voting rights in the Brussels regional elections to about 310,000 non-Belgians or 35% of the population of the Brussels-Capital Region.
After 14 years of renovation, the national theater of Belgium on Boulevard Anspach reopened its doors to the public. The former Pathé Palace, which can accommodate 2,500 people, became the largest cinema in Brussels in 1913. Now called the Palace, the fully renovated Art Nouveau building houses four screening rooms featuring films with both French and Dutch subtitles.
In just three hours, volunteers from citizens' initiative Leo Not Happy picked up 240,000 cigarette butts all over Brussels. More than 60,000 butts were also gathered from the streets of Antwerp, Liège, Namur, and Ostend all in one day.
Approximately 100,000 people including more than 70 delegations participated in the 23rd edition of the Pride Parade in Brussels. With this year's theme, "Your local power," event leaders called on local governments to work towards a more explicit and integrated policy for the LGBTI+ community.
In the midst of the festivities, a riot broke out when a group of extremists attacked the float carrying the banner of Flemish nationalist party New Flemish Alliance (N-VA). The group protested the right-wing party's participation in the event. Five people were arrested by the police.
The founder and chief executive officer of Facebook appeared before members of the European Parliament to answer questions on personal data breach. However, the lawmakers didn't get much out of Zuckerberg except for generic answers and an apology.
Zuckerberg was invited to a hearing in Brussels after reports came out that a data analytics firm that worked with American President Donald Trump accessed millions of Facebook profiles to influence voters in the last U.S. presidential elections.
You've probably noticed those electric scooters parked everywhere in Brussels. The e-scooter sharing revolution reached the Belgian capital during the summer. Belgian start-up Troty was the first to launch in June, followed by American companies Bird in September and Lime in November.
U.S President Donald Trump practically hijacked the summit with warnings that the United States will pull out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) if European leaders don't increase their defense contributions to the military alliance. While berating his allies and accusing them of military underspending, Trump even broke with diplomatic protocol and addressed German Chancellor Angela Merkel by her first name.
The elusive sense of Belgian national identity came alive during the grand homecoming party of Belgium's national football team. Francophones and Flemings gathered together to celebrate the return of the Red Devils after winning third place at the FIFA World Cup in Russia.
All in all, around 40,000 fans joined the victory parade from the Royal Palace in Laeken all the way to the Grand Place. The football stars entertained their fans from the balcony of the Brussels City Hall.
The 2018 World Cup saw the Red Devils in their best performance since 1986 when Belgium last made it to the semi-finals.
The controversy over the miserable condition of Belgium's most important courthouse was reawakened when the Belgian government announced that the renovation of the Palace of Justice will not be completed before 2040. The year before, it was announced that the works would be done by 2028.
The 135-year-old building has been covered in scaffolding for more than three decades. Crumbling and infected with fungus, the palace has become unsafe for court employees and visitors. Just three months ago, part of the ceiling above the Court of Appeals' registry fell apart.
The Belgian king test-drove STIB's new tram service which shortens the travel from Simonis in Brussels City to Arbre Ballon in Jette, and passes through the UZ Brussels Hospital.
The city also bid farewell to tram 94 and hello to tram 8 on September 29. The new 2-kilometer tramway offers improved connection from Roodebeek to other parts of Brussels with four additional stops.
Metro, bus, and tram operations were disrupted in the city when the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company (STIB) and labor unions launched a massive strike to demand better pensions. Two previous demonstrations also took place in February and in May.
U2 vocalist Bono visited the European Parliament to campaign for stronger relations between the European Union and Africa. The Irish music icon came in behalf of ONE, an international non-governmental organization he co-founded to advance efforts to end extreme poverty and preventable diseases in Africa.
The 2018 communal elections in the Brussels region was an election of firsts: Pierre Kompany became the first black mayor elected in the history of Belgium when he won the elections in Ganshoren. Voters in Ixelles and Forest elected a mayor from Ecolo-Groen for the first time. And never before did Brussels have four mayors of non-Belgian origin in a row.
November saw the advent of the Gilets Jaunes or Yellow Vests, a grassroots movement fighting for lower taxes and fuel prices, and higher wages in France. The movement eventually spilled over to Brussels and other parts of Belgium.
On November 30, hundreds of protestors in fluorescent yellow vests converged at 16 Rue de la Loi and started hurling rocks at the prime minister's office. Belgian police fired water cannon and tear gas to subdue the demonstrators who fought back by throwing stones and setting fire to police vans. More than 60 people were arrested and more than a dozen were injured.
The incident didn't stop Yellow Vests from staging another protest at the European Quarter on December 8. The demonstrations once again escalated to violence resulting in more than 30 injuries and about 400 arrests. The movement may have encouraged the nationwide strike organized by labor unions on December 14.
More than 65,000 people showed up during the "Claim the Climate" demonstration, according to the police. Participants marched peacefully through the EU district to remind governments to honor the commitments they made in the 2015 Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The demonstration was carried out while a U.N. climate change summit was taking place in Katowice, Poland.
Thousands of people took to the streets to express their objection to the Belgian government's decision to support the U.N. Migration Pact, a non-legally binding agreement to adopt friendlier and more humane policies and actions towards migrants all over the world.
The highly controversial pact triggered a major political crisis that will forever mark the year 2018 in Belgium. Insurmountable disagreements over whether or not to back the U.N. deal led to the collapse of the Belgian government.
Flemish nationalist political party New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) pulled out of the government in protest of Prime Minister Charles Michel's decision to sign the pact at the Marrakesh Intergovernmental Conference on the Global Compact for Migration. Michel was eventually forced to resign. Belgium is now under a caretaker government until the next federal elections on May 26, 2019.

Space Blues simply sensational in G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest
Racenews
Space Blues unleashed a devastating turn of foot to secure a first G1 success with an exhilarating performance in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville, France, on Sunday, 9 August.
The four-year-old had finished third in the extended six-furlong showpiece 12 months earlier but returned on the back of three wins over seven furlongs, including an impressive victory in the G2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood on Tuesday, 28 July.
After breaking smartly, Space Blues was held up at the rear on the stand's rail by William Buick as Royal Ascot G1 winners Golden Horde and Hello Youmzain set a strong pace for the 11-strong field.
The Charlie Appleby-trained colt took closer order approaching the final furlong and accelerated superbly with half a furlong to race, quickening between horses to go from fifth to first in a matter of strides. He galloped out powerfully to win by three-quarters of a length over Hello Youmzain.
Charlie Appleby said: "Space Blues is by Dubawi, and we know what his progeny can do as they get older. His profile this year has been faultless. Every time he has stepped up in grade, he has been more impressive and a lot of credit goes to the team at home. Paolo [Sirigu], who rides Space Blues, does a fantastic job looking after him, and he is a Christian of a horse.
"There isn't a great amount of opportunities at G1 level for a horse like Space Blues. I was keen to try and win a G1 with him because he deserves to win one. He is a lovely horse to have around and it is fantastic for the team. Most importantly, it is fantastic for His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and Godolphin.
"It is hard to be on the front end at Deauville and the gallop was strong early doors. I felt that the race was always going to develop for a finisher and William's instructions were to go out there and ride him to come home. He has given the horse a lovely ride. From halfway, William said he only needed for the gaps to appear and, thankfully, they came in time.
"We will look at bringing him back to France again for the G1 Prix de la Foret on Arc weekend (Sunday, 4 October). We will give him a well-deserved break first and then head to Longchamp."
William Buick said: "Space Blues has everything. He was third in this race last year but Charlie told me that he was a better horse this year, which I felt as well at Goodwood in the Lennox Stakes. This was a good performance – it's amazing to see a turn of foot like that in a top sprint race. He is a very, very good horse and it is his first G1, which he really deserves. Today, he showed how good he really is."
Godolphin's other runner in the Prix Maurice de Gheest, Earthlight (Andre Fabre/Mickael Barzalona), brought an unbeaten record into the race following six career wins, including two at G1 level as a juvenile.
The Shamardal colt tracked the leaders for much of the contest and ran on to hold every chance half a furlong out before keeping on to come home a close fourth, beaten a length in total.
Lisa-Jane Graffard of Godolphin said: "Earthlight came to win his race and stayed on inside the final 100 metres. It was only his second run after a long lay-off and he was back in G1 company. He still has a very bright future, wherever he goes next, and we will take some time to reflect on everything."

AT&T to FCC: Communications situation in Puerto Rico, USVI post-hurricanes remains serious
By Eduardo San Miguel Tió on April 24, 2018
SAN JUAN – AT&T has sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission in which it expresses concern that the "communications network situation in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands post-Irma and Maria hurricanes remains serious."
Referring to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's proposal that $954 million in funds be made available to rebuild wireless communications on the islands, the telecom giant wrote that "electric generators have become a critical network element due to the unreliability of the electric grid, particularly in Puerto Rico," and that because these "have a short life-span due to out-of-spec intensive use," it "alone has immediate need for over 200" new ones.
"Immediate additional USF [Universal Service Fund] support would accelerate ongoing recovery efforts and address the extraordinary costs resulting from the hurricane damage," AT&T wrote.
Chairman Pai's plan needs FCC approval and would be largely funded by the Universal Service Fund, which provides federal subsidies to companies to make communications services more accessible and affordable in places where the cost is high.
FCC chairman proposes $954 million plan for Puerto Rico, USVI
The wireless provider argues for the need for funds with post-hurricane usage numbers. "Average mobile use (voice & data) in March 2018 vs August 2017 up 63% in Puerto Rico & 69% in Virgin Islands," a bullet point reads.
AT&T adds that it must increase its mobile network capacity "above & beyond" its projected pre-hurricane plans in order to support extraordinary customer demand, which has surged in part due to the fact that many "households still lack reliable home broadband service and are using their mobile service for Internet access."
Among the infrastructure changes it says investment is needed for are "above & beyond standard network architecture designs to harden" these on the islands ahead of the hurricane season. These include buried infrastructure, diversifying "key fiber routes to maximize network resiliency," expanding "emergency backup microwave wireless backhaul capabilities" and reinforcing utility poles and cell towers.

Screen Reels' Artist Spotlight: Christen Morrell
Singer-Songwriter Christen Morrell is a force to be reckoned with. The classically trained artist possesses seasoned songwriting skills beyond her years and a versatile vocal range capable of conveying raw emotions in a delicate, heartfelt way. We recently had a quick chat with the Maryland native about her musical beginnings, her influences and her songwriting.
SR: What is your story?
CM: I was born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland on a house near the river. I've been singing for as long as I can remember. I would incessantly sing around the house, or anywhere really, so my mother introduced me to my older sister's choir director. At the age of 6, I auditioned and was accepted into the "Children of Annapolis" choir. After a few years of that, I began to take serious interest in sports over music. I always love singing, but I have also always been very competitive and athletic, sports allowed me to get that energy out while learning how to be on a team. In middle school I begin taking voice and piano lessons. The piano lessons only lasted about a year, but I continued to take voice lessons for the next 7 years – all the way up until college, being classically trained.
Most of my piano skills, learning chords and such, have been self taught. At the age of 17, in my senior year of high school, I began building my music career through SoundCloud where I posted my original works, including a self-produced bedroom album, Waking Up, that amassed over 50,000 streams and charted in the top 10 of SoundCloud's 'New + Hot Singer/Songwriter Top 50' within just a short few months.
Following that accomplishment, I was accepted into the Berklee College of Music and invited to do my first year at their satellite campus in Valencia, Spain. I knew music was the career path that I wanted to go into, and I've always had a deep love for adventure – so I accepted.
Within the first semester of studying at Berklee, at the age of 19, I was the youngest artist to be signed to Disrupción Records, a local Valencian label. Through this collaboration, I've had the opportunity to engage in the full experience of being a recording artist and working with the team to produce my self-titled debut album, Christen Morrell.
SR: How would you describe your music style?
CM: Pop/Indie – Many of my songs are acoustic with a few electronic elements.
SR: Does being a female artists motivate you to speak on everyday emotions females deal with in your songwriting?
CM: I'm honoured to be a female artist during this time of growth in the music industry. In the past, with many other issues in our society, there has always been problems for women competing for these jobs alongside men.
I have definitely written songs on this subject, but none were ready to be produced on my debut album.
SR: What current artists are motivating you?
CM: Some current artists that motivate me include: Adele and Demi Lovato – both artist's voice control is just amazing. Allen Stone and Ed Sheeran – I admire both their lyrics and the acoustic elements to their songs. Gnash – his sing-song rapping
All of these artists are motivating to me, when looking upon their success and their song-craft, it's teaching me on what skills I can improve on or what elements I can add to my songwriting/singing.
SR: What are the most challenging thing/s about being an artist?
CM: Time and patience. For me, I feel as if I'm always racing with time. There's never enough time in the studios, never enough time to perfect a craft, never enough time to learn all the skills that I want to, while having a balanced life. I also have to remind myself to be patient, success doesn't happen over night – it's a long twisted road that only God has control of.
SR: What do you want your listeners to take with them after listening to your music?
CM: I'm inspired by many people, things, and experiences when writing music. But, I feel that self-reflection plays a large role when writing my lyrics. I find it very important to take the time to ponder over who you are, who you would like to be, and how that person could best influence this world.
My biggest hope for my listeners is that my work will bring them the same comfort and joys that I have found within music.
SR: If you could duet with any artist dead or alive who would it be and why?
CM: Adele – I feel as if we have similar styles and vocal techniques. I also really admire her music.
SR: What advice would you give anyone who aspires to be an artist?
CM: There will be a lot of people on your music journey who will try to tell you how to do your craft, keep an open mind and take everything into consideration, but make your own judgement in the end – stay true to who you want to be and your values, but don't be afraid of the opportunity to change, because that can be beneficial in many ways too.
SR: What is next for you?
CM: After a year full of adventure, travel, and the release of my debut album. I am moving from Valencia, Spain to Boston to continue my studies at the Berklee College of Music and learn more about my craft.

I saw online that the Rock and Mineral Society was doing their annual show in Wichita this weekend and thought it might be a fun family activity. I've been showing the girls cool things to make with rocks and minerals for jewelry so I figured they might like it. The show wasn't that big but was packed. It was hard to make it around the tables because people were pretty serious about their rocks.
I have a small collection that was given to me by a friend of my old babysitter's years ago and thought it would be fun to add to my collection. I bought 2 pieces of Agate from Brazil and one piece of Rose Quartz. I love the colors in the Agate. They had a guy who was selling geodes that he would break open for you... we were really tempted to do it but didn't. We did watch while others did and it was very cool to see what the insides revealed.
I've also recently been making necklaces from slices of Agate that I purchased online. I love the look of Agate and now that long necklaces are back, it is a perfect match for a great necklace. I have been thinking about putting them up for sale on Hobby + Hound Etsy page for fun. The bohemian look is in with the tween and teen girls so I have been working on ones for my girls and nieces as well.


The enlightened alternative is to appreciate how incredibly rare and precious human life is. The enlightened alternative is to appreciate EVERYTHING. By appreciating whatever we encounter we can use it to further our journey of warriorship. We are good as we are, and it is good as it is. Once we have this understanding, we'll see that we are living in a sacred world.
I've written down several quotes from my new favorite book Turning the Mind Into an Ally by Sakyong Mipham. This one is like a prayer, don't you think?
I really enjoyed Mipham's book Turning the Mind Into an Ally. It is about meditation and how we all can benefit from this beautiful practice. I feel encouraged when I read it. It reminds me a bit of Jon Kabat-Zinn's book Wherever You Go, There You Are that I have mentioned before. Both are poetic, calming and encouraging in their own way.
When I found a German magazine I cut out a few things and glued it into my Moleskine diary too. I collect all kinds of beautiful things in my diary; days, memories, teachings, inspirational images, quotes and words. I especially liked the mindfulness girls doing yoga and meditation. Just seeing these images reminds me of what I want to do and how I want my body to feel.
In autumn I come back to tea, mostly because I enjoy a hot cup at night when it is too late to have coffee. My favorite Dihlma tea is chamomile or Moroccan mint. I love that in autumn it is okay to stay indoors, drink warm tea and light candles. I got myself a new vanilla scented candle this week and it smells divine.

Love this post! I Feel the same way about autumn and tea. Love that the rain & cool weather allows for lots of homey days.
I like all the inspirational images in your diary. Have a beautiful day!
Jessica, thanks for the help! I was searching in google and came upon the link but it didn't show up so that's why I thought the whole archive was gone. I'm so glad to see that its still there and thriving – there is an incredible amount of cute stuff to download from your site! I love it!
I love these pages, these helped inspire me to use collage more in my journal, I find that I am drawn to it more, still learning how to use the collage and paint together! Great pages!

Post subject: can anyone recommend a good, modern war-setting rts game?
can anyone recommend a good,fun, modern war-setting rts game?
its payday tomorrow and i was looking to invest in a new real time strategy game to play (while i wait for sunday ). looking for one based on a modern war setting.
something like the cold war mods for CC zero hour.
or any strategy game for that matter.
There's also Wargame, and that is a different breed of RTS than WiC. Depends what you like.
Supreme Commander is pretty good.
Not all of them cold war era, but still very good games.


This is a time-intensive project with an estimated production time of 4-5 weeks. Contact us if you have a specific deadline.
'Moon' cradles ten hand carved oval stones in a large crescent hoop. For this made-to-order product, we're combining vibrant Marlborough Chrysoprase with lush, deeply colored Turkish Purple Jade. Both stones have a beautiful satin finish.
The minimalist hoop body is a rich yellow bronze with four prongs per stone and a finely detailed milgrain decorative pattern framing the open area at center. The rear is a faintly textured brushed matte finish.
Moon is worn either through the bare lobe or through tunnels, and opens to the side with a horizontal hinge. This removes a common failure point in heavier hinged earrings with vertical hinges, which can be pulled open with downward motion.


Many of you donate not just money but clothes and shoes and toys for the children we meet. Particular thanks this time has to go to the incredible Lindsay Given, who collected over 100 pairs of shoes to give to children at the Macheo orphanage.
Thanks too to Gill Thompson and our friends from Lloyds Bank who coordinated a collection of toys from friends and family in early November - two rucksacks full of teddy bears, dolls, cars and stationery were given out to nursery children at the Mukuya School on Friday 16th November.


1 9 GROUP TRAVEL LE ADER T H E B Y E L I Z A B E T H H E Y THERE'S AS MUCH TECH AS TACK L ong associated with cowboy heritage, modern Texas embraces its legacy but goes beyond that image with its sophis- ticated culture and cuisine. The Dallas- Fort Worth metroplex, where one-quar- ter of all Texans live, boasts iconic architecture and museums as well as top-tier sports. Towns near the metroplex have much to offer groups, too. Charming Grapevine, bookended by Dallas and Fort Worth, was settled under the Lone Star flag in 1844, a year before Texas joined the states. Waco, 90 miles south of Dallas-Fort Worth, is enjoying notoriety tied to the popularity of HGTV's hit show "Fixer Upper" and its stars, Chip and Joanna Gaines, who are building a decorating empire there. In Tyler, an hour and a half east of Dallas, groups can explore the gardens and historic homes of "America's Rose Capital." D A L L A S Big D is known for many things: iconic sports teams — the Cowboys have five Super Bowl championships — prominent architecture and culture, and the third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the nation. The Dallas Arts District contains 19 city blocks of ingenious design: museums and performing arts venues created by architecture masters such as I.M. Pei and Rem Koolhaas. All can be seen on a 90-minute, docent-led tour by the Dallas Center for Architecture. The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden will open A Tasteful Place in the fall of 2017. This $8 million farm-to-table vegetable, herb and fruit garden will showcase views of the Dallas sky- line; its patios overlook White Rock Lake. The 3,600-square-foot Garden Pavilion will include a dining room and a teaching kitchen to host local chefs preparing garden-to-table cuisine against 270-degree views of the garden. Groups will be able to go into the garden with the chefs to learn how to pick, clean and prepare the produce. The burgeoning calendar at the AT&T Performing Arts Center covers all the bases, from Broadway to comedy, opera and dance. This architectural gem encompasses 10 acres within the Dallas Arts District. The center includes the Winspear Opera House, home to the Dallas Opera and Texas Ballet Theater; the Wyly Theatre, home to the Dallas Theater Center, the Dallas Black Dance Theatre, and Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico; and Annette Strauss Square, an outdoor performance space. For a classy night out, dinner at the stylish Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck affords a 360-degree view of Dallas at the GeO-Deck. Both are in the Reunion Tower, nicknamed "The Ball." The sphere-topped tower is Dallas' most iconic struc- ture and was featured in the opening credits of the hit 1970s TV show "Dallas." F O R T W O R T H The heart and soul of Fort Worth can be found at the city's historic Stockyards. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Chisholm Trail, which was used to drive cattle from Fort Worth to rail- heads in Kansas. The new Stockyards Adventure Pass covers all the Chisholm Trail sites around the city. The Stockyard's honky-tonk, Billy Bob's, boasts a 127,000-square-foot dancehall, outfitted with more than 30 bars. Groups can see live indoor professional bull riding every Friday and Saturday night and participate in the rodeo culture them- selves with two-step lessons, concerts and photo ops on a faux bucking bull. Cow Camp takes place Saturdays, Memorial Day through Labor Day, but special weekday arrangements can be made for groups.

Are you really Food industry recruitment Specialists?
We set up in 2002 with the sole aim to assist Food Industry companies with their recruitment needs and as such focus our efforts entirely on the Food sector. We do not recruit for any other sectors. We are genuine Food Industry specialists with a combined 25+ years experience of recruiting in the sector.
How can you be 90% cheaper than a traditional recruitment consultancy?
Traditional recruitment consultancies only generate income on 10%-20% of the permanent vacancies they work on. This is why their fees are high; They are, in effect, charging you for the time they spend on the 80%-90% of work they do, that doesn't generate any income. Imagine if recruitment consultants generated income on 100% of the vacancies they worked on, they would be able to dramatically reduce their fees.
Because we charge a flat fee and generate income on 100% of the vacancies we work on, our fees can be 90% lower than a traditional recruitment consultancy. If we didn't charge a flat fee this would not be possible.
Do you offer a Guarantee if I don't recruit anyone?
Do you offer a Guarantee once my selected candidate commences working for me?
We provide a 14-day Guarantee once your chosen candidate commences employment. So if they leave your business or prove to be unsuitable, we will provide our service for an additional 28-days. This includes full job board advertising and CV searching to enable you to recruit a replacement free of charge.
Your fee is much lower than a traditional recruitment agency, so how does your service compare with a traditional recruiter?
We provide a high quality recruitment service on a par with, or surpassing, a traditional recruitment consultancy. Our customers have been quick to recognise that we will dramatically reduce their recruitment costs without compromising service levels.
You will receive confirmation of your booking and invoice. Once the invoice is settled (PayPal, BACS, CHAPS, Cheque) the service will commence and your job advert will usually go live on the same day. There are no further costs.
Is my vacancy suitable for your recruitment service?
The vast majority of Food Industry vacancies (95%) are suitable for our service. We have spent many years placing online job adverts on behalf of Food sector clients and understand where to advertise, how to advertise and likely outcomes. However, if our experience tells us that your vacancy is going to be extremely difficult to recruit for, we will tell you so and recommend an alternate course of action.
We are completely transparent and honest with our customers. We will not take on a vacancy where experience tells us it will be extremely difficult for us to forward a comprehensive shortlist of candidates.
Fortunately, 95% of Food industry jobs are suitable for our FoodRecruit service.
What type of positions are NOT suitable for your service?
Only 5% of Food Industry vacancies are unsuitable for our service. An example of a vacancy that may not be suitable could be a position where we believe the salary offered is significantly lower than the market rate. Also, certain vacancies may be unsuitable if the 'must have' experience is too narrow, such as an 'Agronomist with Citrus Purchasing experience and fluency in Portuguese'.
Our policy is to be honest, so if a vacancy is not suitable for our FoodRecruit service we will tell you. We need our customers to use the service successfully, as this is the only way we can rely on repeat custom.
How many vacancies do you successfully fill?
We fill 90% plus of the vacancies we take on, as we will only take on a vacancy where our experience tells us there is a genuine opportunity to fill the vacancy.
We offer two options. Our most popular and cost effective option is our Standard Recruitment Service which costs a flat fee of £495 with nothing further to pay.
The only difference between our Standard Recruitment Service and a traditional recruitment consultancy service is that with FoodRecruit, the employer contacts the candidates directly to arrange the interviews. This largely seen as a positive as most employers prefer contacting the candidates directly anyway, rather than having to go through a recruitment consultant, as it gives the employer more control and accelerates the recruitment process.
With our Premium Recruitment Service, we manage the whole recruitment process in exactly the same way as a traditional recruitment consultancy would. We telephone interview candidates, arrange interviews with the prospective employer, manage job offers, provide advice on salary levels, and remain in constant contact with the employee until the day they commence the employment. Our Premium Recruitment Service costs a flat fee of £995 with nothing further to pay.
Do you offer any Optional Extras?
Yes, customers can add any of the following services to their recruitment campaign as an additional service: Executive Search/Headhunt, Fully Branded Display Adverts, Video Enabled Job Applications, Psychometric Testing & Job Match, CV Verification & Background checks.
When will my vacancy "go live"?
It typically takes less than 24 hours from placing a vacancy with us, to seeing it live and receiving online applications. As soon as you provide information on your vacancy we will create a job advert web optimised with keywords for your approval. Any amendments you require will be made immediately by your dedicated Recruitment Consultant. Once fully approved your job advertisement will go "live" across our entire network of recruitment job boards, social media and other portals. We simultaneously search our internal and external databases for suitable food professionals.
How long does the recruitment service last?
The Recruitment Service lasts for 28-days, during which time we will work hard to ensure your recruitment campaign is providing enough suitable Food Industry candidates for you to fill your vacancy.
I want to recruit 2 Shift Supervisors, do I have to pay twice?
No, you only pay once, just £495. We will send you a comprehensive shortlist of candidates to enable you to recruit 2 Shift Supervisors for a total cost of £495.
You can recruit multiple candidates for the cost of one flat fee payment. Whether you decide to recruit one, two or three employees, the cost to you will be the same, just £495 for our standard service.
I have a number of different vacancies to fill, will you provide a discount for volume?
Yes we can offer you a discount if you have a number of vacancies to fill. We have the flexibility to tailor a reduced price service package to meet your needs. Please contact us to discuss further.
You have sent me a candidate I might want to recruit in 6 months-time for a different position. Is this okay? And will I have to pay again?
This is completely fine and No you will not have to pay again. The £495 you pay enables you to recruit an unlimited number of candidates we send you, and there is no time limit to recruit.
You have sent me a candidate that could be suitable for a different vacancy. If I recruit them for the different vacancy will I have to pay again?
No, you will not have to pay again. If you think a candidate may be right for a different vacancy, you can go ahead and recruit them with nothing further to pay.
Do I get one person to speak to?
Absolutely. You have a personal Recruitment Consultant assigned to you with direct email and direct telephone number provided. Your dedicated consultant will be experienced within the recruitment of professionals for the Food Industry.
There are No hidden costs. Pay one flat fee at the beginning, and there is nothing further to pay. Customers love the low cost and transparency of our service. Where a traditional recruitment consultancy will invoice for £000's when you recruit someone, this will never happen with our service.
Complete the send us a job section, call us, email us, or request a call back and have us call you at a suitable time.
Where will my job vacancy appear?
Your vacancy will appear across all the leading job boards, encompassing General, National and Regional job boards, Food Industry job boards, and Discipline specific sites (i.e. sales, HR, engineering etc).
Your vacancy will also appear on Social Medial such as LinkedIn, and Twitter. Please contact us for an up-to-date list of exact job boards where your vacancy will appear.
When your vacancy 'goes live' it will appear on circa 15 job boards. We will send you a wide selection of links to these job boards, so you can see your vacancy live on the job sites.
Why should I use you instead of a traditional recruitment consultancy?
5.) Our knowledge of the Food Industry allows us to offer sound honest advice. We will not accept your vacancy if we think our service is unlikely to result in you filling the position.
Why is the service so cheap?
The price may be low but the quality of service is high. Because we charge an upfront flat fee and utilise efficient systems, online jobs boards and CV databases, our costs are substantially lower than a traditional recruitment consultancy; In fact 90% cheaper based on vacancy with a salary of £33k pa.
What happens once I have instructed you?
Once you've instructed us to assist you with the recruitment of your vacancy, we'll arrange a suitable time for an experienced Food Industry Recruitment Consultant to call and discuss the person specification and job description. We may also want to discuss other aspects of the role, your company and background to the vacancy to ensure we have a thorough understanding.
The upfront fee go towards the time it takes to discuss the vacancy, compose a web optimised job advert, market the vacancy on a full range of general, regional, national, discipline specific and food industry jobs boards, search for candidates on several CV databases and responding to all candidate applications and client queries.
How much money can I save on recruitment costs?
The average salary of a vacancy we work on is £33k pa and we would charge £495 to recruit for such a role. A recruitment consultancy would typically charge 15% of salary to recruit for the role, which equates to a fee of £4950. We would therefore save you £4455 which equates to a 90% saving for you. With higher salaried positions the savings are even greater.
What is your incentive to fill my vacancy?
If we don't provide a comprehensive shortlist of candidates within the first 28-days, we guarantee to provide you with an additional 28-days of advertising and CV searching, at substantial cost to our business. As we work to tight margins, we need to 'get it right' in the first 28-days, to save us the additional cost of re-advertising your vacancy and searching CV's for a further 28-days.
If we don't succeed in the initial 28-days, our business will fail!! This gives us all the motivation we need to quickly and successfully assist you in filling your vacancy!!
Do you cover all Salary levels?
We cover Food Industry vacancies with salaries from £18k to £100k pa and also cover Interim and Contract roles.
What job disciples do you cover?
Can you assist me with Interim roles as well as Permanent?
Yes. We can quickly identify candidates for Interim roles and post vacancies to leading Interim Management job boards.
There isn't one! We are genuine Food Industry recruitment consultants and we assist our clients both Nationally and Internationally. Our recruitment services provide customers with substantial savings and a genuine alternative to a traditional recruitment consultancy.
What is the difference between you and a traditional recruitment consultancy?
In terms of service there is very little difference (if anything!) between the service we provide and that provided by a traditional recruitment consultancy. However, one difference that does exist is the much lower cost base we operate at, compared to many traditional recruiters.
We have done away with all non-essential elements of recruitment, elements that don't help the customer fill their vacancy. We use cost effective online methodologies and charge a flat fee at the start of the process. These factors combined enable our customers to save an average 90% in cost, compared to using a traditional recruitment business. And all this without compromising the quality of service provided.
Why will an internet based recruitment service like yours fill my vacancy?
The internet has become the main driver of candidate applications for all recruitment consultancies. Traditional recruiters are being challenged by web-based recruiters buoyed by the fact that more than 80% of UK job seekers use the Internet as their primary job search tool. Making job applications electronically has several advantages as it's fast, simple and inexpensive.
Our online network achieves over 70 million job searches a month. We have established working relationships with the major job boards across general, regional and food related job boards and our customers have been quick to take advantage of our candidate reach.
What if I am already using a traditional recruitment agency to help me fill a vacancy?
Unless you have signed a sole agency agreement then you are free to immediately use our recruitment service and potentially save £000's. Many of our customers have started out using traditional recruiters but have been disappointed with the service and cost, so have switched their vacancy to FoodRecuit. They have been quick to recognise that we are food recruitment experts and able to save them £000's on each individual they recruit.
Do you leave the names and contact details on the CV's you send us?
Yes, unlike traditional recruitment consultancies we leave names, telephone numbers, address, and email information on the CV's so that you can contact candidates at your leisure. If you receive a number of strong candidates you may recruit one immediately, and then recruit another a few months later. We would not charge you any extra for this.
Applicants are professionally screened using the job description and person specification we agree with you at the outset. We have been screening candidates exclusively in the Food Industry since 2002, so rest assured we have the experience to identify the applicants that best match your requirements. Once screened, all candidates will receive notification as to whether they have been unsuccessful or successful in reaching the next stage of the selection process. With our Premium Recruitment Service, we conduct telephone interviews with your preferred candidates.
Will my company Logo be displayed on the vacancy advert?
Yes, your logo can appear on certain job boards, with your permission, including leading Food job boards. We also advertise your vacancy under the FoodRecruit and FoodCareers logo's. With regard to the job advert text, we understand that some roles are confidential so we can tailor your advert to make no mention of your company name, or are happy to mention your company name, if you prefer.
As an optional extra we can provide fully branded display and semi-display adverts on leading recruitment sites at reduced cost. Contact us for further information.
How will you update me as to the progress of my recruitment campaign?
You will receive weekly or bi-weekly updates with an appraisal and CV's for relevant candidates. Your dedicated Recruitment Consultant may also call you from time to time to discuss your recruitment campaign.


I'm new to making videos, I'm trying to make one, but Windows Movie Maker won't let me import a video!
"blahblahblah.avi cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again."
Please, I'd really appreciate help on this!
What container is the file in, and what codecs does the file use? Use gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot) or avicodec (http://avicodec.duby.info) to find out. Can the file play? What do you use to play the file?
Sorry...I'm so new to this!
That's why I said use gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot) or avicodec (http://avicodec.duby.info) to find out. Download one or both, feed your file into one or both, and paste to us what it says.
where do i download a codec!?!? and which ones!?
Is an mkv file a natively known file for avicodec?
btw, I'm having the same problems too! And i converted my video from an mkv to an avi.
millions of blank spaces like Path, Size, etc. Go to the top and click file, then select the files you ripped off a CD. It should plug in the numbers for you. Then press Render. It may say Rendering Failed. THAT IS OKAY. Look at the top right of the box. It should say Codec, then underneath 4CC. The number beside it identifies the codec you need. Type in Codec ____ (the number) into google, and download the codec. Then it should work on windows movie maker. I know it seems complicated, but it's actually quite easy. I looked for days before I found this method, but it works. For some reason though after I load the video on movie maker, for previewing it plays the clips upside down. But when you drag the clips onto the track it works fine lol. I hope this helps:D Good Luck!!!
LOL I don't know why but the top of my quote didn't post, so I'm posting it here lol. The first Quote continues this.
Download a program called : Gspot. This is a program that will identify the codec you need. Once its downloaded open the file. It will come up with a box with millions of blank spaces saying : Path, size, etc. Go to the top and click file, open the file that you ripped from the CD. Then go to the bottom and press render.
BTW, I converted to avi format.
I am having the same issue. I had .mov files and I converted them to .avi and the will now play in my wmp but I get the error that I need codecs like stated above when I try to make movies in wmm. PLEASE HELP! I tried everything above and in other forums...I have downloaded codec packs and still nothing. I checked the box in win movie maker under options to try and let it download the codecs automatically or whatever and it still won't work...I am at a loss.
I have Vista, and I edited an AVI video using WMM, when I published it, the video is black, instead of the video...any help??
Do I need a specific codec for my AVI video, which is encoded by DivX?
Non of my movie maker and windows media player work. I hear sound but no image; can not import .avi into movie maker.
Downloaded the codec pac from microsoft still same problem.
Now I can see images and sound in Win Media player but still can't import .avi into movmaker.
Hope I helped- will come back when I fix my movmaker.

Howdy. Kicking this off knowing I'm going to need to provide some datalogs, tuner I paid to fix issues lost my card, so I need to buy a new one. Yup.
The main issue I'm having is the darn thing surges between shifts. The truck (1986 Chevy K10) will literally drive itself without my foot on the gas.
When I shift the RPM will shoot up to 3500. It makes it pretty hard to control on icy roads. I always have to blip the throttle to get it to drop down.
This happens both below operating temp and at operating temp. When Closed Loop is on it tries to adjust, but actually makes it worse.
It was only doing it below operating temp so I just let it warm up longer before driving but now it does it all the time. AFR and IAC are all over the place.
When I got it back from the tuner it was amazing. Then the rotor blew out the cap cause they forgot to put the screws back in.
I put on a new MSD cap and rotor and things started to go down hill from there.
UPDATE: So I decided to download the TSLCD update and reset everything. LOL, now I'm stuck in my work parking lot. It won't communicate with the ECU. Went back and deleted the files off the card and downloaded just the SD card content. Everything went back to the way it was, but it still won't communicate with the ECU. I'm in an underground parking garage, so can't get a tow truck down there. So it looks like I'm ripping this thing out tomorrow after work and plumbing my carb back in. I'm about $2K into this thing and have regretted going this route since I put it on. It's actually my 2nd unit, the first one didn't even turn on. That should have been my clue.

Sexually compensated infections STIs exist in Sweden as elsewhere, and travelers who may ask in hale activity while visiting Bristol should Slluts that even if one is Slufs tonight and one's timber partner is also a traveler, perhaps from one's own fixed, neither of these threats suspend the towns of duty. In mobile, in a pederastic bachelorette, the erastes hubble lover could not really ask his girlfriend family eromenos affection eating to experience this act, and had to tell to many. Aeschines is used by Timarkhos; to meet himself, Aeschines agrees his wife of unusual been a minimum in his studio.
In the same text a young virgin can demand a Minathat is drachma 7,3or gresce two minas if the customer is less than appetizing. A young and pretty prostitute could charge a higher price than her in-decline colleague; even if, as iconography on ceramics demonstrates, a specific market existed for older women. The price would change if the client demanded exclusivity. Intermediate arrangements also existed; a group of friends could purchase exclusivity, with each having part-time rights. Musicians and dancers working at male banquets can also undoubtedly be placed in this category.
Greece Sluts
Sexual services were clearly part of the contract, [13] though the Slugs, in spite greecs the efforts of the astynomoi, tended to increase throughout the period. Hetaira Mirror Cover with Eros and erotic scene originally from Corinth More expensive and exclusive prostitutes were known as hetaerae, which means "companion". Hetaerae, unlike pornai, engaged in long-term relationships with individual clients, and provided companionship as well as sex. Relevant discussion may be found on Talk: Prostitution in ancient Greece. Please help to ensure that disputed statements are reliably sourced.
The receiving would give grreece the fact drenched exclusivity. The para Grandmothers of Serbiacited by Diodorus SiculusII, 55—60 during the Terrible period describes a rolled groove where, of the unfortunate of Plato, prostitution is also deployed. Their lender can not be grouped into four months:.
May See also: Many people visited the town on account of gdeece, and thus these hetairas contributed to the riches of the town: The story goes Slugs a hetaira being reproached by a woman for not loving her job Slluts not touching wool, [20] and answering her: Sluts greece elsewhere of Strabo XII,3, In BC, a man named Xenophon, Slutz citizen of Corinth who was Sluts greece acclaimed runner and winner of pentathlon at the Olympic Gamesdedicated one hundred young girls to the temple of Sluuts goddess as Sltus sign of thanksgiving. The social conditions of prostitutes are difficult to evaluate; as women, they were already marginalized in Greek society.
We know of no direct evidence of either their lives or the brothels in which they worked. It is likely that the Greek brothels were similar to those of Romedescribed by numerous authors and preserved at Pompeii ; dark, narrow, and malodorous places. Certain authors have prostitutes talking about themselves: Lucian in his Dialogue of courtesans or Alciphron in his collection of letters; but these are works of fiction. The prostitutes of concern here are either independent or hetaera: The fact that prostitutes were the only Athenian women who handled money may have increased acrimony towards them. An explanation for their behavior is that a prostitute's career tended to be short, and their income decreased with the passage of time: To provide for old age, they thus had to acquire as much money as possible in a limited period of time.
This drive is, of course, common to all professions, since everyone is subject to the ravages of time. Medical treatises provide a glimpse—but very partial and incomplete—into the daily life of prostitutes.
In order to keep generating revenues, the slave-prostitutes had to avoid pregnancy at any cost. Contraceptive greede used by the Greeks grrece not as well known as those grdece the Romans. Nevertheless, in a treatise attributed to Hippocrates Of the Seed, 13he describes in detail the case of a dancer "who had the habit of going with the men"; he grfece that she Slutss up and down, touching her buttocks with her heels at each Slluts [27] to dislodge the spermand thus avoid risk. It also seems likely that the pornai had recourse to abortion Sluts greece infanticide. Their representation can generally be Slurs into four categories: In the toilet scenes the prostitutes are not presented as portraying the physical Slutts sagging breasts, rolls of flesh, etc.
In the representation of yreece acts, the presence of a prostitute is often identified by the presence of a purse, which suggests S,uts relationship has a financial component. The position most frequently shown is the leapfrog —or sodomy ; these two positions being difficult to visually distinguish. The woman is frequently folded in two with her hands flat on the ground. Sodomy was considered degrading for an adult and it seems that the leapfrog position as opposed to the missionary position was considered less gratifying for the woman. According to the sources, Aspasia is chosen as concubine or possibly spouse by Pericles.
Atheneus remarks that "For when such women change to a life of sobriety they are better than the women who pride themselves on their respectability" [7] XIII, 38and cites numerous great Greek men who had been fathered by a citizen and a courtesan, such as the Strategos Timotheus, son of Conon. Finally, there is no known example of a woman of the citizen class voluntarily becoming a hetaera. This is perhaps not surprising, since women of the citizen class would have no incentive whatsoever to do such a thing. During the time of the New Comedy of ancient Greek comedyprostitute characters became, after the fashion of slaves, the veritable stars of the comedies.
This could be for several reasons: Also, social conventions forbade well-born women from being seen in public; while the plays depicted outside activities. The only women who would normally be seen out in the street were logically the prostitutes. The intrigues of the New Comedy thus often involved prostitutes. The courtesan could be the young girl friend of the young first star: Recognized by her real parents because of trinkets left with her, she is freed and can marry. In a secondary role, she can also be the supporting actor's love interest. Menander also created, contrary to the traditional image of the greedy prostitute, the part of the "whore with a golden heart" in Dyskoloswhere this permits a happy conclusion to the play.
Conversely, in the utopian worlds of the Greeks, there was often no place for prostitutes.
In Aristophanes' play Assemblywomenthe heroine Praxagora formally bans them from the ideal city: Furthermore, I propose abolishing the whores … so that, instead of them, we may have the first-fruits of the young men. It is not meet that tricked-out slaves should rob free-born women of their Sluts greece. Let the courtesans be free to sleep with the slaves. The prostitutes are obviously considered to be unfair competition. In a different genre, Platoin the Republicproscribed Corinthian prostitutes in the same way as Attican pastries, both being accused of introducing luxury and discord into the ideal city.
The cynic Crates of Thebescited by Diodorus SiculusII, 55—60 during the Hellenistic period describes a utopian city where, following the example of Plato, prostitution is also banished. As such, in Aristophanes 's Plutus v. The vast majority of male prostitutes, however, were for a male clientele.

Home Health Kid Influencers Promoting Junk Food On YouTube, Study Finds
Joseph Imoh
Kid social media influencers are promoting junk food and sugar-filled beverages in their YouTube videos, and they are garnering more than a billion views, according to a new study published in the Pediatrics journal. The researchers at NYU School of Global Public Health and NYU Grossman School of Medicine warn that these popular YouTube videos use simple product placement techniques of unhealthy foods, blurring the line between advertisement and entertainment.
"The allure of YouTube may be especially strong in 2020 as many parents are working remotely and have to juggle the challenging task of having young kids at home because of COVID-19," said senior author of the study, Marie Bragg, assistant professor of public health nutrition at NYU School of Global Public Health and assistant professor in the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone.

Studies have shown that kids increase their consumption of fried foods and unhealthy beverages, even after taking of break of five years of being exposed to junk food advertisements.
This particular study revealed that 179 YouTube videos of a total of 418 videos that were analyzed showed that the influencers consumed unhealthy branded food or drinks. These videos were of the five-most watched kid influencers on YouTube last year.
