Some updates on the recent activities of our DVSD Search Dog Handler Dave Marsh and his DVSD Search Dog Sasha
On Thursday 3rd December 2015, we reported within our website, that our very experienced DVSD Search Dog Handler David Marsh (who has been a former long serving Mountain Rescue Air Scenting Search Dog Handler within Bolton MRT) journeyed to Northern Ireland, where he was involved in SARDA Ireland North Search Dog assessments over the weekend.
Dave's report on his time across the Irish Sea reads;
"Whilst the northern counties of England were bracing themselves for the incoming Storm Desmond, team member Dave Marsh and his Water Search Dog Sasha, were aboard the MV Uylsses [Irish Ferries] crossing from Holyhead to Dublin and onward to the Tollymore Outdoor Centre situated in the Mournes.
Accompanying Dave, was Ken Sloan from the Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA) England.
Dave and Ken had been invited to attend SARDA Ireland North's assessment weekend as guest assessors.
Both managed to keep their stomachs insitu despite the deteriorating weather which produced Storm force 7 to 8 during the crossing.
Over the course of the weekend, this went from bad to worse but did not stop the ongoing assessments, after all, it could be debated that the gale force winds and driving winds are the type conditions handlers and dogs are called upon for their services.
It is pleasing to note that Davey Carlilse and Dog Heidi not only passed their allocated four search areas, but did so with gusto [no pun intended], thus achieving Full Search Dog status.
It was left to Dave and Ken to arise at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, 6th December, for their ferry back, only to find it had been cancelled resulting in a four hour wait on the dockside in Dublin harbour for their next available lift home."
Dave further reports the following training activities which he has recently undertaken, and have not previously been reported;
"Over the long weekend of 5th – 8th November 2015, Dave and his Dog Sasha, were invited to attend SARDA Wales assessments as an external assessor.
Over the course of the weekend, Dave, alongside other assessors, viewed both Lowland and Mountain handlers and dogs participating in the assessments."
Also:-
"Over the weekend of 13th – 15th November 2015, Dave and Sasha [in tow] were asked to attend National SARDA Anglia's assessment due to the guest assessor having to cancel at short notice.
Dave obliged accordingly and spent the time viewing two handlers and dogs working a minimum of four 2 hour areas over the course of the weekend.
A 100% pass rate is normally expected [and achieved] and if there is a failure in any area, discussions take place as to what occurred.
If this happens, the handler and dog are then tasked to successfully search an additional area on the Sunday, which results in them being deemed suitable to attend live searches.
It was very pleasing to note that both handlers and their dogs passed and are now involved in live searches."

It can be difficult for the emergency services to locate people. #HelpUsFindYou is their campaign to make people aware and suggest ways to help. For example making house numbers clearly visible. These precious minutes could make all the difference. @NWAmbulance pic.twitter.com/V7urigkHAD

I know I have said this several times before in the past couple of years, but I still want to move the blog. I am well aware that I probably won't because I wouldn't even know how to get started with something like that, but it has recently become even more apparent that I need to find a solution. From your end, it may appear that my blog is just fine. From my end, it is a mess.
When I was blogging for The Daily Tic I had a very good experience with their WordPress site. Blogger was great when I was new to blogging and needed a very user friendly set-up. Not that I have learned too much since, but I think I need something that I can customize a bit more. While Blogger is easy to use, it doesn't give you very many options.
Also, what I am referring to here isn't so much the actual look of the blog, which I love, but rather the organization of it.
I have well over a thousand posts that are all heaped onto one another. Trying to find anything is impossible and entails endless scrolling. I realize that part of the problem is the way I title things, which is ambiguous at best. At the time I write a post the title totally makes sense, but when trying to find things from almost a year ago, it can at times be difficult. Thankfully I am pretty good about labeling my posts with keywords.
What I want is a page that has more than one page… you know, little tabs where I can put things. Aside from not really knowing how to do these things, my hesitancy also stems from not actually knowing how these things would be organized. Little tabs at the top of the page sound like blogging heaven, but what would I put there? A few titles are obvious – Picture Posts, How-To Posts (I had many of these from my earlier blogging days), Parenting Posts. After this it becomes a little more questionable. There are my strictly academic posts, and there are some that are borderline academic, but not quite. There are my weird-I-don't-know-what-this-is posts, and my ranty posts. These might seem like classifications, but I can't very well have a tab that reads "middle-of-the-night-rants." Also, if you have been reading my blog for a while, you will notice there isn't always a clear distinction.
So yes, I want tabs, but I don't know which ones, or what to do with them.

About this Recording
NA419912 - TIMSON, D.: History of Theatre (The) (Unabridged)
David Timson
The History of Theatre
'He that denies then theatres should be,
He may as well deny a world to me.'
So wrote Thomas Heywood in 1612, shamelessly borrowing an idea from his contemporary William Shakespeare. It is a thought that echoes through this history, that the theatre reflects the world, and the world, the theatre. Is art, imitating life, or vice versa?
The world would have rolled on if the phenomenon of theatre had never existed, but the quality of human life would have undoubtedly been the poorer. Theatre may not be a physical necessity, but as King Lear says, 'allow not nature more than nature needs, man's life's as cheap as beasts'.
At its best the theatre is an arena for ideas, stimulating and controversial ideas at that, for it is in its nature to be anarchic and to continually question accepted views. Thus, Ibsen and Chekhov raise in their plays, social questions the 19th century would rather have ignored, and point the way forward in the 20th century for playwrights such as Bertolt Brecht, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Miller. Food for thought is one thing, however, but it is also the theatre's job to entertain and add to the 'gaiety of nations'. Celebration of the human spirit is also important. The feeling of satisfaction as evil is defeated, the joy when a love-match works out, or amusement as a fool is exposed. This is why the long-time symbols for the theatre, recognized the world over, are the masks of Comedy and Tragedy. They balance each other and are inseparable, reminding us that you can't have one without the other. The serious and the ridiculous go ever hand in hand in our story.
Sophocles and Aristophanes, Racine and Molière, Ibsen and Feydeau. These are the playwrights whose work endures from age to age, but the story of the theatre is also the story of actors, "that despicable race", whose inspiration, invention and dedication to their ephemeral art, provide the life-blood of this story. As acting styles continually changed with each generation, moving inexorably towards a more naturalistic 'real life' presentation, so too theatre buildings evolved to match those styles. From the giant arenas of the Greeks, the open platform of the Elizabethans, the intimate Court-theatres of Molière, the picture-frame stages of the 19th century, to the flexible small studio spaces of the 20th.
Any history is bound to be subjective, and there will be omissions, and aspects of this history treated too briefly for some. Selection too has meant that this 'History' is essentially a history of Western Theatre. Both Western and Eastern theatre evolved from ritualistic dances linked to religion, but whereas Western theatre sought an ever more naturalistic presentation, the theatre of India, China and Japan retained a highly stylized manner of performance. Their repertoire is unchanging and timeless. It is a different tradition and requires a separate study.
I have tried to give at least a taste of all the major developments in this long and diverse history, which spreads over 2,500 years. I hope the taste will wet the appetite for listeners to go on their own journeys of discovery. I have tried to stick to the highways, but the bye-ways of theatre history are too tempting at times not to explore. My hope is that this colorful and eventful history will contain something to catch every listener's imagination, and that:
'we shall both make you sad, and tickle ye.'
(Thomas Middleton, 1613)
Notes by David Timson
GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS NOT FULLY EXPLAINED IN THE TEXT
AMPHITHEATRE - From the Greek amphi, meaning around. Literally a theatre that surrounds the action. Developed by the Romans originally for gladiatorial fights, and later drama. The Colosseum is a surviving example.
APRON-STAGE (or Forestage) - The part of the stage in front of the proscenium arch, and before the curtain (if there is one). It projects into the auditorium, allowing the actors to be closer to the audience.
BACKCLOTH - The drop-scene at the back of the stage. Usually painted to represent a scene such as a garden or street, or else just blue to depict the sky.
BOX-SET - Used in the 20th century to depict a naturalistic room. Where a setting is made up of 'flats' linked together to give the appearance of solid walls and ceiling.
BUSINESS - A term which describes any action on a stage, comic or serious, which does not involve dialogue, e.g. 'He spends the next two minutes silently tearing up all his manuscripts and throwing them under the table...' (The Seagull)
FLATS - A canvas fronted frame, traditionally placed in rows on both sides of the stage, painted to complement the backcloth, e.g. in a forest scene, the 'flats' would represent trees. Also used to construct a 'Box-set'.
GROUND-ROW - A low piece of scenery at ground level, painted to depict a grassy bank or low wall. It helps in a conventional setting to give a feeling of depth to the scene.
IMPROVISATION - Where a production is created without a script. The actors rely on their skills of invention for the dialogue and action. It provided the foundation for the Commedia dell'Arte troupes of the 16th century.
MASQUE - Elaborately staged allegorical dramas, involving music, dance and song, with spectacular sets and costumes. They were popular in the courts of Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, where courtiers and monarchs themselves performed behind the anonymity of masks. The masque contributed to the development of Opera.
PIT - Less expensive seating-area of the auditorium, usually behind the stalls (the more expensive seats), on the ground floor. Originally called the 'pit' after part of the Drury Lane theatre built on the site of a cockpit.
PLOT - The story or narrative of a play.
PROSCENIUM ARCH - An often-elaborate permanent arch, which divides the stage area from the auditorium, through which the audience views the play. Most theatres built during the 19th century, placed great emphasis on the proscenium arch being the equivalent of a 'frame' for their dramatic 'pictures'.
PROPS - The everyday articles or properties used by the actors to express character or move the plot along, e.g. spectacles, handbags or letters.
SCENARIO - A summing up of the main elements in a dramatic narrative. A rough version of the plot. The basis for the Commedia dell'arte's improvisations.
STOCK PIECES - Pieces of scenery re-used for more than one production, not individually designed, e.g. A Woodland scene. Also applies to reliable plays repeated because of their guaranteed success.
TIRING-HOUSE - The Elizabethan equivalent of the dressing room.
TRAPS (or Trap-doors) - Holes cut in the stage with hinged lids through which actors can descend or ascend as part of the action. Much used in Pantomime, e.g. 'Arrival of the Genie in Aladdin'.
UNITIES - The 'unities' refers to the classical concept propounded by Aristotle that dramatic action should occur in one place and at one time, i.e. the action should not be spread over many years and many locations. It was a strong influence on European playwrights from 16th-18th centuries.
WINGS - The 'flats' that define the edge of the acting area, screen off from the audiences view the sides of the stage where the actors assemble to make their entrances. This off-stage area is also referred to as the 'wings'.

(This article first appeared in the July 2012 edition the newsletter of BirdLife Plett and is loaded with the permission of the Editor. - Ed).
The Nature's Valley Trust has launched a new initiative. In addition to its very successful environmental education programme which has been ongoing over many years, the Trust is implementing a second focus area - research.
Dr. Mark Brown has been appointed to head the Nature's Valley Trust operations which will include setting up and spearheading the new research focus for the Trust. Mark will be remembered by many of 2 us for the fascinating talk he gave our club in June 2010 on 'Birds in Pollination', informing us, inter alia, of research findings on nectar feeding birds highlighting how sunbird's preferences for sugars (type of sugar as well as concentration) differs markedly from that of other nectar feeding birds.
Mark takes up his appointment with the Nature's Valley Trust from November this year. He has published a large number of scientific papers on birds and is a Director of BirdLife South Africa (KZN area). It is already clear that he has been thinking about potential bird research projects relevant to this part of the country and will bring his considerable depth of knowledge and skills to our area. As such he will be an enormous asset to us in the birding fraternity and we look forward to having him with us.
On another tack, Daniel Cloete, who many of us know from his excellent work as Director of the Nature's Valley Trust, left the Trust in January this year to take up a study bursary under the Percy Fitzpatrick Institute of African Ornithology. At present he is considering possible bird related research projects as part of his study course. The research topic has not yet been finalised and needs to be agreed and accepted by the 'Fitz' and it may not be in the Southern Cape. For the future he has expressed an interest in working with Mark Brown. We wish Daniel every success and look forward to having him back in his Plett home and bringing more bird expertise to our area.


As we moved closer to the end of the year it has become increasingly apparent that a photoshoot in between Christmas and the New Year was not going to be an easy thing to pull off.
With Christmas plans and work commitments beginning to get in the way of the photoshoot the decision was made to postpone the amazing end of year shoot we had planned and use it as a start to the New Year.
Same models, same bikes, same venue, different year.


CJC Off Road Blog: Ford Frenzy!
Lately, we've had a whirlwind of Carli Suspension equipped Super Duties popping up!
This brand new 2015 F250 Platinum is rocking a Carli Suspension Commuter 2.0 leveling suspension system, 20" Fuel Trophy wheels, and 35" Toyo Open Country MT tires. The ride quality improvement on this one was drastic!
The owner of this 2014 F350 was looking for a suspension system that retained towing capacity while improving looks and ride quality. We feel the Carli Suspension Commuter 2.0 leveling system on this truck fits the bill in both categories. This truck is running 17" Method Race Wheels NV wheels wrapped with 35x12.5x17 Toyo Open Country R/T tires.
This Super Duty serves double duty as a tow rig and a daily driver/minor off roader. The Carli Suspension Back Country 2.0 leveling system on this truck offers an improved ride around town while drastically improving off road comfort and performance. This truck is rolling 18" Method NV wheels and 35" Toyo Open Country R/T tires.
This Platinum from Canada features a Carli Suspension 4.5" Pintop 2.5 system, Road Armor bumpers, Fuel Off Road 20" wheels, and 37" Toyo Open Country MT tires. The owner uses this truck in a variety of terrains and has been very pleased with the performance of this system!
This 2013 Super Duty features a 4.5" Carli Suspension Performance 2.0 suspension system, 18" Method NV wheels, and 37x13.5x17 Toyo Open Country MT tires. This truck, although late model, gets a frequent work out off road and is holding up quite nicely!
This 2013 Platinum features a 4.5" Carli Pintop 2.5 system, 17" Method Standards, and 37x13.5x17 Toyo Open Country MT tires. We are thrilled with how this truck turned out! Off road capability and handling are significantly increased with this system. It's tough beat the looks and stance of this setup!
This last pic of the black'13 with the 4.5" pintop and 17" method's with 37" toyo's is exactly what I'm wanting to do. What is the offset & backspace of those wheels? Could it be a different os & bs to pull the tires closer in to the wheel wells while still working with the suspension? If I used this exact wheel/tire combo and spend 95% of my time on road would I tell a big on road improvement if I upgraded to a Dominator system?
The last black truck is running 4.5" backspacing (-12mm offset) wheels. You can run 5" backspacing as well and still clear, which will pull the tires slightly more into the fender wells. This exact wheel/tire combo has a lot of sidewall, allowing it to ride very nicely both on and off road. I'd say that combined with a Dominator system, there would be no better riding setup.
Thank you for your immediate response to my question. I'd want this setup with the wheels/tires tucked in as much as possible. I'm assuming adding some pocket flares would cover the 5" backspaced wheels entirely? If so do you have any pics for reference?
the last picture of the black platinum, with the 4.5" backspacing (-12mm offset), did u have any rubbing anywhere? I am considering the exact setup but in an 37X13.50r18 toyo rt.
Pocket flares would likely cover 5" backspacing completely. The 4.5" backspacing only rubbed on the front bumper bracket, which was corrected by grinding it down. Once ground down, the truck cleared nicely.
Have you guys run a Carli commuter leveling kit with 37x12.50 Toyo R/T's on a '14 F250 with 20x9 and 0 offset?
We have. Running 37's at this height requires a bit of trimming to the lower back part of the front fenders to clear correctly when turning at speed.


As part of Louisville's celebration of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, Topgolf is bringing its iconic experience to town in partnership with PNC Bank and the Breeders' Cup Festival! Cardinal Stadium will play host to this truly special event as we light up the night with massive glowing targets on the field, private bays for group events, and Toptracer technology tracking every single shot with replays and stats. Expect the usual scene from a football gameday with a lively crowd, delicious snacks, ice cold beers, and fierce (but friendly) competition that golfers and non-golfers alike will enjoy.

TikTok's Quest for World Domination Even Has Spotify Worried
Spotify executives are concerned Gen Z isn't using its service enough
It's TikTok or nothing
By Logan Mahan @missloganmarie
Add Spotify to the growing list of companies that can't seem to grab Gen Z's attention.
While the subscription-based audio service is still the most popular music streaming service in the world and continues to add tens of millions of customers each year, per Bloomberg, execs at Spotify say they're concerned the youngest generation isn't using its product enough.
"We could be doing better in that group," Spotify co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Ek told the publication in November, noting that the paid listening service was created with millennial consumers in mind. Now, as that generation is hitting middle age, Spotify, along with myriad other internet platforms, is struggling to appeal to a new, younger generation of consumers.
"What's easy to forget is that many of us are now 15 or 20 years old. We were built for millennials," Ek said. "I'm not a Gen Zer, and it's something I'm well aware of. I am trying to spend time with young folks pushing the company to go for Gen Z, and later on, Gen Alpha."
As a Gen-Zer with a Spotify subscription, I can't personally vouch for my generation's indifference towards the service, but I'm also a "Zillennial" (people born between 1993 and 1998), so I'm sorta a geriatric Gen-Zer. Still, Spotify's anxiety over user growth makes sense.
As Bloomberg points out, Gen Zers listen to fewer podcasts than older generations, but really, it's the TikTok effect.
TikTok is not only the app Gen Z uses the most, but it's the app seemingly everyone now uses the most. It recently surpassed Google (Google!) to become the most popular website of 2021. TikTok is also now the main driver of music trends. Take a look at today's chart-topping songs and at least five owe it to going viral on TikTok. Which, should, in theory, be good for Spotify. Young people hear a song on TikTok and go search for it on the audio service. And that's how Spotify viewed it, notes Bloomberg, until TikTok went on its quest for market domination:
"Spotify has long seen TikTok as a friend and a funnel. People hear a song on TikTok and then go to Spotify to listen to the whole thing. But TikTok is now more of a foe in a lot of emerging markets, places where Spotify needs to grow to keep Wall Street happy. TikTok has introduced its own music service Resso in Brazil, Indonesia and India, and it's starting to get a following."
Despite all of this though, Spotify believes its Gen Z problem could become an opportunity to make some changes. The service has already acquired pretty prominent social media influencers like Alex Cooper and Addison Rae, who host Spotify-exclusive podcasts. Gen Z is also the most engaged audience with the service's year-end Spotify Wrapped. Still, the app is looking to roll out new tools to aid music listeners, along with testing a new destination on its main app that will show snippets of songs and podcasts set against a vertical video. Because everything is TikTok now.

Satiric Ship of Fools Web site celebrates 10th anniversary
By Solange DeSantis on May 1, 2008
A Web site that is possibly the most irreverent in the Anglican world, Ship of Fools, celebrated its 10th anniversary on, appropriately, April 1 or April Fools' Day.
Founded in 1998 by two theological students who did not, eventually, seek ordination, www.shipoffools.com carries such irresistible features as Gadgets for God ("tacky religious items"), the Fruitcake Zone (such oddities as a group that offers to send telegrams to the dearly departed) and the Mystery Worshipper (anonymous volunteers who file reviews of church services).
"The Web site's subtitle is 'the magazine of Christian unrest.' We are about questioning our own faith without diminishing our commitment to it. We think questioning and mocking our faith is a healthy thing to do. Rather than let atheists mock the Christian faith, we do it for them," said co-founder Simon Jenkins, 53, who went on to earn a master's degree in theology, decided that being a priest was "not a good fit," and is today a London-based freelance designer, artist and Web site writer/producer. His co-editor, Stephen Goddard, is now a public relations consultant in Manchester, U.K.
In addition to chronicling Christianity's quirks, Ship of Fools runs several lively bulletin boards, on which interested folk discuss church and faith matters. "About 13,000 people have signed up on the bulletin boards over the years, and 500 to 600 are active at any one time," said Mr. Jenkins.
The "ship" began as a magazine in 1977, but folded six years later, again on April Fool's Day, due to financial pressures. "It's much better to be on the Web," said Mr. Jenkins, noting that a site re-design marked the 10th anniversary. The name, he said, came from a long 15th-century poem by German humanist Sebastian Brant, which satirized the follies and vices of the time.
Although maintaining a Web site costs much less than publishing a paper magazine, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Goddard are not paid and have hired an advertising agency to generate more ad revenue with the aim of eventually having paid staff. Currently, the cost of a computer server (about £13,000, or $26,000 Cdn per year) is funded through donations and a few ads.
They also want to do more "community-building," having blogs (Web logs, or diaries) and community news.
One thing that won't change is the animated logo Mr. Jenkins designed for the site: two earnest fellows in the same boat, backs to each other, rowing in different directions. "I love the mystical side of orthodoxy, but there is a sense that you do what you are told, that there is a right way and a wrong way," he said. Mr. Jenkins leans more toward heterodoxy, defined as "opinions or doctrines at variance with an official or orthodox position." It means freedom to choose, for people who "want to glorify God in their own way," he said.

May 18, 2008 | Movie News
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY GIVE ME SEXY ROLES – BIMBO AKINTOLA
Following her memorable outing in Tade Ogidan's award winning movie, Owo Blow, and Richard Mofe-Damijo's Out of Bound, delectable actress, Bimbo Akintola became a sought-after act for most Nigerian filmmakers.
In fact, her roles in the two movies fetched her the 1999 Best Actress from the stables of Reel Awards. She has since featured prominently in most Nollywood movies, playing lustful roles with a heart-warming sensuality that is quite exciting as it is subtly wild.
At the just concluded Zuma International Film Festival in Abuja, Akintola again clinched the coveted Elsie Olusola's Best Actress Prize, beating two others with her outstanding role in a movie tagged: Senseless. Her success came on the heels of Festival Director, Edmund Peters,' declaration that ZUMA 2008 was aimed at discovering new and emerging talents among whom Akintola is a leading figure.
Although she was not physically present in Abuja to receive the award, the Unibadan-trained theatre artiste added yet another feather to her cap in her acting career. Her victory, along with others who won in diverse categories and from different backgrounds, vindicated the theme, Films Without Borders, which Afolabi Adesanya, Managing Director and Chairman Organising Committee, described as "a synergy of creative energies towards a desirable harmony that will connect global film productions to the mutual benefit of mankind''.
Acting for Bimbo Abiola Bukola Aina Onoyigbe Mary-Ann Akintola, the third child in a family of six comes naturally.
Born to a Muslim cleric father and mother who is into business, Bimbo is an easy going theatre personality. She likes company; loves reading and singing. But she has a phobia for dogs and reptiles. It was while attending the Maryland Convent Private School for her primary education, that it all started.
As pupils, Bimbo and her peers acted for the school's end-of-year drama events. The more she took part in plays, the greater her passion for acting. So, when she got into Command Day Secondary School, Lagos, acting became for her, an easy kill.
In fact, her passion for acting took her to study Theatre Arts; even against her father's wish. She said: "My father didn't want me to act at all. He wanted me to study Law or Medicine. He is a very protective person and so he did all he could to discourage me. But I held on to my dream because I have always had a great love for acting. I took the decision because I never saw myself doing anything else. I felt I would be happier as an actor even though my father thought it wasn't the right kind of profession for me. But today, I am happy that he is pleased with what I am doing. In fact, he is my most ardent fan". But well before her graduation at the University of Ibadan, Bimbo had been involved in a number of stage productions.
"I had been doing many stage productions while in school and had even done one or two movie and television productions. I had my time filled up with acting while in Ibadan until a friend (Bassey Okon - an actor) came and invited me to Lola Fani- Kayode's audition in Lagos. Lola was recruiting actors for her soap, Mind Bending.
"Well, I got there, read and Auntie Lola found me fit and gave me a role. After that, Niyi Wuraola, who worked on the set of that soap invited me again to participate in another audition. This time, it was in Tade Ogidan's award winning movie: Owo Blow. He was recruiting talents for the movie, so I was invited for audition. I went there auditioned and got a role in the movie'' explained Bimbo.
On a number of negative reactions to her roles, the actress had this to say: "At the time I acted in Out of Bound, I was paid well. I think the way I cope with people's reaction is different. Mostly, when people come up to me to comment or to complain, I just listen. If I am less busy, I would take time to explain details to them.
"For me, it's that part of acting which I have to cope with. It's not something that I am fond of but I have got used to it in a way. I have learnt to live with people's interpretation of the roles I play in movies. Oh! Some people said I overacted and that it was over exaggerated.''
Bimbo explained further that much as her involvement in that movie swelled her bank accounts by a few thousands, it also came with some negative reactions.
Nevertheless, she described her performance in Out of Bounds and Widows as her most challenging works. She picked the two out of a long list of movie credits including Owo Blow, The Gardener, The Contractors, Back To Life, Armada, Diamond Ring, Temi ni Toto, Husband and Wife, Heart and Soul and Ejemi.
Asked to draw a line between her real person and her role in movies, Akintola said: "I haven't done much on stage recently but I did one with Chuck Mike sometimes ago. It was entitled: Death and the Maiden. The cast was made up of three characters - Bimbo Manuel, Keppy Ekpeyong and I. Oh!, that play wrecked me. I haven't had it that terrible before. In fact, I swore after the production that I wasn't going to take up such a very complex script any longer. I couldn't just lay hold on the character. The character I played went through a whole lot of emotions, which I could not easily comprehend. It wasn't just like the role I played in Widows or even the role I played in Out Of Bounds. I could relate with these easily without going through the kind of mental torture I went through trying to find meaning to my role in Death and the Maiden.
Meanwhile, the actress absolved herself of blame for playing sleazy roles. Rather, she blamed producers who would insist on having her play such roles. "Please help me ask them (producers) why they cast me for such roles...I act for a living and would pick up a script once I believe that what I am going to do is right before me and all those around me. But I have taken up roles outside that and no one has commented… I am an actress and I would accept roles, so far it is right and someone is ready to pick up the bills'.
Bimbo also disclosed the source of her inspiration and her role models " I derive inspiration from God...from myself, Bimbo and, from Joke Silva. Oh, I love that woman. She is one damn good actress. She is exceptionally creative. I long to star with her in a stage or screen production. Oh, she is lovely. I have a lot of respect for her just as I have for Auntie Toun Oni, Mama Buki Ajayi and the big one of them all, Taiwo Ajai-Lycett".

Guest Post: When a Joke's Not A Joke – A view of how humor can hurt
Today I'm welcoming in another guest post on a bit of sensitive topic that, like most sensitive topics, comes from the furries. Yesterday a thoughtless joke was made by someone (thank God not me this time) that hurt a number of people. The joke was regarding the pronouns a person prefers to use for themselves. The writer of that joke later made an apology, and I hope they sincerely take this as a lesson and an opportunity to better themselves and be more aware moving forward.
However, it also sparked a whole "it's just a joke" thing for a lot of people. Given the current political and social climate, I wanted to say something. But I'm not transgender, and I'm not really a member of a marginalized group, so I have no place to speak to their feelings, emotions, or thoughts.
Instead, I asked for submissions about why the joke was hurtful, because believe it or not, if you're not a member of the groups affected, or you don't know many who are, it's easy to never see past the end of your nose. Lord knows I can't at times, and I'd like to learn my way around that and let these groups have their voices heard. Hopefully we can have a discussion and foster greater understanding of why the thoughtless things we say are hurtful.
But that's enough from the fat white law guy. Without further ado, I want to welcome the following post from Z. Tanner, Ms. Tanner is a student, poet and writer living in the state of Utah. She is a Non-binary Transperson who is often over-caffeinated, under-slept and has a habit of enjoying a good cup of mead now and then. She also pretends to be a snow leopard on the internet.
While no one person can speak for an entire community, I find her explanation of why a joke is, in some cases, "not just a joke" enlightening.
Hey, my name is Z. Tanner. I am a student of psychology, a poet, white and a non-binary trans-femme and I heard this wonderful joke that I would like to tell you.
What does a lawyer and a sperm cell have in common?
Both have about a one in 3 million chance of becoming a human being.
Funny, right? Now why shouldn't I have told that joke?
The big reason is that I am not a lawyer, or even remotely interested in being a lawyer. I went out of my way to attack another group of people that I am not a part of with that joke. By telling that joke I admit to thinking most lawyers are less than human. Jokes and humor tell us about who we are and were we exist in society.
Humor does not exist in a vacuum as we people don't exist in a vacuum either. Jason P. Steed once posted on twitter that "Humor is a social act that performs a social function (always)" back on August 9th 2016. [Jason P. Steed on humor ] He goes on to clarify that humor is one way we construct identity in and outside of groups. By doing this we use jokes and humor to assimilate or alienate.
This is why context is so key to the jokes we tell. It would be vastly inappropriate for me to tell a joke about Chinese people because I can't articulate how to assimilate in a culture I have never been in. Building off of Steed's comments further, my only action in telling a joke about Chinese people is to alienate them because this is how most jokes work.
A friend of mine who has been involved with stage comedy off and on explained when one is writing jokes there generally is always a victim. This victim can be a person, a culture, a situation and so forth. I asked them how they can go up on stage and say these jokes knowing that there is a victim. He smiled and said that he like a lot of comedians will write themselves as the victim. This presents himself as in on the joke and not the target of it. Using Steed's Theory he then is using humor to assimilate and define where he is in society. This is why it would be better for me to make a joke about transpeople.
For example when asked about his children, my dad responds as thus "Oh, I have three of them, one of each!" And I love following that up with "at least he gets gender isn't a binary." This defines where I come from and what culture I am in with a (hopefully) witty response. I want you to compare that to how some other jokes about gender identity are like "I identify as an attack helicopter." That joke seems to suggest there is a prescribed method on how to identify oneself and goes on to say some people will be completely unreasonable with their demands of their identity. Where as my joke bemoans the situation of having a father who loves and cares but never really quite gets it, something that a lot of queer folk can relate to. That alone speaks volumes about the people who tell the joke. It even clarifies why in context it is better for me to tell the joke that starts this paragraph compared to the one that starts this letter.
A lot of people will say "Well the people who hear the joke can choose not to be offended." For a moment, I thought that was a good point till I realized something. Jokes can be a veiled condoning of unethical behavior. Mr. Steed continued on his commentary about jokes by saying that racists jokes aren't bad "just because they alienate certain people but also because they serve to assimilate the idea of racism."* By saying a racist, sexist, transphobic or just any bigoted joke in general, you are saying to the bigots "hey, I'm one of you, I belong with you, I think like you do and I think these people are lesser." Now some people will say that it is just a joke. Yet by admitting that they also admit to saying that these bigoted things define them and the people around them. Now of course there is the issue concerning Satire.
One of the biggest defenses to off-color and offensive jokes is satire. But satire is meant to alienate or make absurd the subject of a joke. For instance, Blazing Saddles works as a satire because it pokes holes through the traditional Western Movie narrative fueled by an idealized history where we don't see how the west was built on racial exploitation (or when we do it's killing Native Americans). [Blazing Saddles and satire: here and here]. And the movie Mel Brooks made the joke that the racist townsfolk were backwards, ignorant and out right stupid. He continues to thrust with this idea concerning the black sheriff and the townsfolk by having them come to terms with their differences of race. By the end of the movie our black sheriff is accepted (read: assimilated) into the town while the racist army that was raised against them are alienated in their loss. Most people forget that the satire of Blazing Saddles was making fun of the racists and proclaim to either change or lose. This in itself makes the idea of bigotry something to be alienated as well as those who support it.
In the end a joke is never just a joke. It is a tool to help us connect to one another and to define how we are in context of society. When used wisely it can lift spirits from the darkest of despairs, provide relief for the ills of the world, to define who we are. When used poorly it can be a way to attack, demean and make people feel less than human. Whenever we say a joke it tells of who we are and what we accept and what we don't.
What do your jokes say about you?

Heritable phenotypic variation in plants can be caused not only by underlying genetic differences, but also by variation in epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation. However, we still know very little about how relevant such epigenetic variation is to the ecology and evolution of natural populations. We conducted a greenhouse experiment in which we treated a set of natural genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana with the demethylating agent 5-azacytidine and examined the consequences of this treatment for plant traits and their phenotypic plasticity. Experimental demethylation strongly reduced the growth and fitness of plants and delayed their flowering, but the degree of this response varied significantly among genotypes. Differences in genotypes' responses to demethylation were only weakly related to their genetic relatedness, which is consistent with the idea that natural epigenetic variation is independent of genetic variation. Demethylation also altered patterns of phenotypic plasticity, as well as the amount of phenotypic variation observed among plant individuals and genotype means. We have demonstrated that epigenetic variation can have a dramatic impact on ecologically important plant traits and their variability, as well as on the fitness of plants and their ecological interactions. Epigenetic variation may thus be an overlooked factor in the evolutionary ecology of plant populations.

Amsterdam, 30 July, 2015 – MMD, the leading technology company and brand license partner for Philips Monitors, announces all-in-one simplicity for desks everywhere. With the brand new Philips USB Docking Stand, users simply attach their notebook via USB cable, and lock their preferred VESA-compliant display into place. The result: easy access to all the office peripherals and the Internet via a single, superfast USB 3.0 connection. Completed by a Philips monitor, the stand combines these productivity and convenience gains with an excellent viewing experience.
The brand-new Philips SB4B1928UB USB Docking Stand consists of a stylish, ergonomic stand that users can pair with a new Philips display of their choice, or any display they already have, provided it is VESA-compliant (100 x 100 hole pattern). With support for screens from 19 to 28 inches (48 to 71 cm), the new docking stand gives users greater flexibility for choosing (and swapping) displays.
The stand gives users the freedom to select the display size, resolution and technology best suited to their applications – up to the dazzling clarity of fine 4K UHD resolution with its 3840 x 2160 pixels. And if one display isn't enough, users can plug up to six monitors into the docking stand via HDMI, DisplayPort and USB – all still with just one USB cable between the docking stand and notebook. This is an easy way to create a clutter-free multi-monitor workspace for increased productivity.
Despite its all-in-one simplicity, there is nothing "one-size-fits-all" about the design of the new Philips Docking Stand. With the Philips SmartErgoBase design, the stand can be raised or lowered, tilted, swiveled and rotated to put the display in exactly the right position for the user. The low bezel-to-table height ensures maximum reading comfort, particularly for wearers of bifocals, trifocals or progressive lens glasses. And even though the stand, with its single USB 3.0 cable hookup, eliminates most of the cable tangle from desks, it also features extra cable management abilities to keep the workspace neat and professional.
The new Philips SB4B1928UB USB Docking Stand is available now for a price of £ 128.

Scott William Raynor, Jr.  (ur. 23 maja 1978 w Poway w Kalifornii) - amerykański muzyk, najbardziej znany jako pierwszy perkusista zespołu rockowego Blink-182. Raynor po raz pierwszy podszedł do perkusji w wieku kilkunastu lat jako fan Metalliki. Jako 14-latek dołączył do Blink-182 i kontynuował współpracę z zespołem. Grał na następujących płytach: Flyswatter (1992), Buddha (1993), Cheshire Cat (1994) i Dude Ranch (1997). Zanim skończył 19 lat, grupa zgromadziła dużą rzeszę fanów i złotą płytę, Dude Ranch (1998). Jego intensywne spożywanie alkoholu spowodowało napięcie w trio, co doprowadziło do walki, która z kolei doprowadziła do jego zwolnienia z zespołu w połowie trasy w 1998. Jego miejsce zajął Travis Barker podczas nagrywania Enema of the State.

Od momentu startu z grupy Raynor występował z wieloma różnymi grupami i wspierał organizację charytatywną StandUp for Kids.

Students going online to fill foreign language needs
By BRIAN JUSTICE, Tullahoma News
High School student interest in foreign languages has waned to the point that Spanish is the only regularly offered curriculum option, but a sophomore will soon be delving into new territory through a satellite program to study Japanese. The Board of Education approved Monday to allow Katie Wilson to take Internet language courses in a dual enrollment program through the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa to count toward high school language credit requirements. Katie's not the first THS student to take dual enrollment language classes, but she is the first in the school system anyone can recall who opted to study Japanese.

Google Is Also Entering The Arm Race With Its Own Smartwatch [Pictures]
by Dan Rowinski, Read Write
We might look back on 2013 as the year when wearable computing came in vogue. Apple is reportedly working on a smartwatch. Samsung too. The rumor mill now tells us that Google is working on the concept of a smartwatch and has been for some time. According to a report from the Financial Times, Google filed for a patent in 2011 for a concept known as a "smart-watch." The patent was approved last October, and Google has its Android team working on integration, according to the report.

Plug and Play for Internet Connections
By JOHN R. QUAIN, NY Times
The Audiovox Car Connection kit is a device that went on sale at the end of last year, which tracks the car and monitors the driver. No screwdrivers or wrenches are needed for installation. The package includes a matchbox-size device that simply plugs into the OBD-II port, a required feature of vehicles built since 1996. It has a built-in GPS unit and a two-way cellular data connection, so the car is always connected, no smartphone required. Once an account is established and the unit is wirelessly recognized by the Car Connection service, owners can track their car's movements and receive e-mail or text alerts should the vehicle be driven without their permission.

Online Learning: Will Technology Transform Higher Education?
by Jamie Beckett, Stanford Engineering
"MOOCs could be to higher education what Napster was to the music industry," said Girod, referring to the music-sharing system that created a seismic shift in how music is purchased and consumed. "Online technologies have repeatedly enabled an unbundling, which disrupted the respective industries and their traditional business models. Mitchell Stevens, an Associate Professor of Education at Stanford, said the move to online education is driven not by technology but by factors like contracting state budgets, which put pressure on many colleges to reduce costs at the same time they are facing growing scrutiny around performance. "The digital revolution is a match igniting a large terrain of dry ground,'' he said. One implication of digital educational delivery mechanisms, he said, is that they provide college educators the ability to measure and improve performance.

Micro 3-D Printer Creates Tiny Structures in Seconds
By Prachi Patel, Technology Review
Nanoscribe, a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, has developed a tabletop 3-D microprinter that can create complicated microstructures 100 times faster than is possible today. "If something took one hour to make, it now takes less than one minute," says Michael Thiel, chief scientific officer at Nanoscribe. While 3-D printing of toys, iPhone covers, and jewelry continues to grab headlines (see "The Difference Between Makers and Manufacturers"), much of 3-D printing's impact could be at a much smaller scale. Micrometer-scale printing has shown promise for making medical and electronic devices.

Your Next Smartphone Screen May Be Made of Sapphire
By Kevin Bullis, Technology Review
Manufactured sapphire—a material that's used as transparent armor on military vehicles—could become cheap enough to replace the glass display covers on mobile phones. That could mean smartphone screens that don't crack when you drop them and can't be scratched with keys, or even by a concrete sidewalk. Sapphire, a crystalline form of aluminum oxide, probably won't ever be as cheap as Gorilla Glass, the durable material from Corning that's used to make screens on iPhones and other smartphones. A Gorilla Glass display costs less than $3, while a sapphire display would cost about $30. But that could fall below $20 in a couple of years

New 3-D Display Could Let Phones and Tablets Produce Holograms
By Katherine Bourzac, Technology Review
A new kind of three-dimensional display developed at HP Labs plays hologram-like videos without the need for any moving parts or glasses. Videos displayed on the HP system hover above the screen, and viewers can walk around them and experience an image or video from as many 200 different viewpoints—like walking around a real object. The screen is made by modifying a conventional liquid-crystal display (LCD), the same kind of display found in most phones, laptops, tablets, and televisions. Researchers hope these 3-D systems will enable new kinds of user interfaces for portable electronics, gaming, and data visualization. The work, carried out at HP Labs in Palo Alto, California, relies on complex physics to make 3-D displays that are as thin as half a millimeter.

South Korean banks and broadcasters took phish bait in cyberattack
by Sean Gallagher, ars technica
More details of the cyberattack on multiple banks and media companies in South Korea on Wednesday have emerged, suggesting that at least part of the attack was launched through a phishing campaign against employees of the companies. According to a report from Trend Micro's security lab, the "wiper" malware that struck at least six different companies was delivered disguised as a document in an e-mail. The attachment was first noticed by e-mail scanners on March 18, the day before the attack was triggered. The e-mail was purportedly from a bank; Trend Micro's Deep Discovery threat scanning software recognized the message as coming from a host that had been used to distribute malware in the past.

Nvidia plans to turn Ultrabooks into workstations with Grid VCA server
by Andrew Cunningham, ars technica
One of the announcements embedded in Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang's opening keynote for the company's GPU Technology Conference Tuesday was a brand new server product, something that Nvidia is calling the Grid Visual Computing Appliance, or VCA. The VCA is a buttoned-down, business-focused cousin to the Nvidia Grid cloud gaming server that the company unveiled at CES in January. It's a 4U rack-mountable box that uses Intel Xeon CPUs and Nvidia's Grid graphics cards (née VGX), and like the Grid gaming server, it takes the GPU in your computer and puts it into a server room. The VCA serves up 64-bit Windows VMs to users, but unlike most traditional VMs, you've theoretically got the same amount of graphical processing power at your disposal as you would in a high-end workstation.

Patent shows Google is, or was, thinking about smart watches
by Casey Johnston, ars technica
According to the Financial Times, Google may be working on yet another wearable computer in addition to Google Glass: a smart watch similar to the ones Samsung and Apple apparently have in the works. A patent application filed by Google in 2011 describes a watch with a "flip up portion" that includes a top display when open that acts as a supplement to the base of the watch, which presumably also includes a screen. In addition to the flip-up portion, the watch would also include a touchscreen display and a camera as well as the typical mobile device drivers like a processor and "wireless transceiver." Google makes specific note that the flip-up display would be concealed when the watch is closed.

LG Is Also Said To Be Building A Smartwatch And Google Glass Competitor, As Is Everyone
by DARRELL ETHERINGTON, Tech Crunch
If you're looking for a smartwatch in the next few years, you likely won't want for choice. A new report pegs LG as developing its own take on the new category, according to The Korea Times on Friday. LG is supposedly working on a smartwatch as well as a product "similar to Internet giant's Google Glass," according to the paper's sources, as part of a strategy to remain competitive long-term. The LG smartwatch is in development alongside the Glass-like product as a "non-commercialized" R&D project, which essentially means it isn't ready to ship. LG, like Samsung and a number of other handset makers, is no stranger to combining mobile phone technology with watch-based designs.

Big data needs people, leaders and real-time analytics
by Jordan Novet, GigaOM
Despite the much-discussed power of data, there are roles for people to play in big data projects. Data increasingly influences companies' decision making processes, but several speakers hit on the notion that people should be involved in big data storage and analysis. It all starts with a human question. Before machines generate answers, employees from many departments should feel empowered to ask good questions of data, said John Sotham, vice president of finance at BuildDirect. Beyond questions, humans need to decide which algorithms to employ and which data to use to answer questions, said Scott Brave, founder and chief technology officer of Baynote. In data science, machine use algorithms to make decisions with clean data for the sake of prediction and optimization, said Sean Gurley, chief technology officer of Quid. But in "data intelligence," humans "create, change and shape the world we're in" using small sets of messy data, he explained.

YouTube reaches one billion monthly users
YouTube, the video sharing site owned by Google, has announced it has passed one billion regular users. Announcing the milestone on its blog, the site said a recent growth in smartphones had helped boost the numbers visiting the site every month. YouTube's popularity provides Google with a lucrative channel through which to sell advertising, alongside its core search business. YouTube was launched in 2005 and bought by Google in 2006.

Whole internet probed for insecure devices
A surreptitious scan of the entire internet has revealed millions of printers, webcams and set-top boxes protected only by default passwords. An anonymous researcher used more than 420,000 of these insecure devices to test the security and responsiveness of other gadgets, in a nine-month survey. Using custom-written code, they sent out more than four trillion messages. The net's current addressing scheme accommodates about 4.2 billion devices. Only 1.3 billion addresses responded.

Cyber-Attacks Eclipse Terrorism in Impact, U.S. Leaders Say
By Robert Lemos, eWeek
The heads of national intelligence and U.S. Cyber Command both warn that cyber-operations have become a primary concern for the nation's defenders. In comments at separate congressional hearings, the leaders of the U.S. intelligence efforts and of the nation's quickly growing Cyber Command warned that cyber-operations by nation-states and rogue adversaries have become a major concern for the country, eclipsing the threat of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. In his delivery of the worldwide threat assessment to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence March 12, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper led his list of global threats with the current cyber-operations against the nation's interests, indicating that cyber-attacks and espionage are having more impact today than terrorism or the threat of weapons of mass destruction. Recent attacks on U.S. banks, the destructive virus that deleted data from 30,000 workstations at Saudi Aramco, and the wholesale theft of sensitive data by various nations—chief among them China—had weakened the United States' technological advantage, Clapper said in his prepared remarks (pdf).

IT Resumes: Keeping Them Truthful
By Corinne Bernstein, eWeek
On the train the other day, I overheard one rider asking another if it was OK to fib a little—or at least embellish the truth—on a resume. As the train rattled quickly and loudly to my stop, I missed the response, but I couldn't stop thinking about the question. Lying on a resume isn't illegal, but it's certainly unethical and grounds for dismissal for those who get caught—not to mention embarrassing for the companies that hired them. The tech sector hasn't been immune to resume scandals. The resume flap last year concerning the credentials of Scott Thompson, ex-CEO of Yahoo, certainly didn't help the company's image. How honest are most IT pros about their credentials? Stretching the truth is common, according to a recent survey conducted by TEKsystems. The technology staffing firm found that 63 percent of IT professionals and 77 percent of IT leaders said most IT resumes exaggerate job seekers' work experience. What's more, 35 percent of IT leaders and 39 percent of IT pros say most IT resumes contain "outright lies," the study showed.

Is Microsoft's Surface Doomed Like Zune?
By Pedro Hernandez, eWeek
Tepid sales of Microsoft's tablet have industry watchers wondering if Surface is off to a slow start or if the Surface is a repeat of the ill-fated Zune media player. The last time Microsoft tried to play catch-up with hardware from Apple, it was forced to pull the plug on its Zune player. This time around, analysts fear that the Surface may suffer a similar fate. Bloomberg is reporting that according to sales insiders, Microsoft sold an underwhelming number of Surface Pro tablets since the buzzed-about Windows 8 Pro slate launched Feb. 9. "Microsoft has sold little more than a million of the Surface RT version and about 400,000 Surface Pros since their debuts, according to three people, who asked not to be named because sales haven't yet been made public," said the report. To date, Microsoft has sold 1.5 million Surface units (both RT and Pro), far less than the company anticipated. Microsoft reportedly ordered about 3 million Surface RT tablets expecting sales of 2 million during the holidays.

Visual TruView from Fluke Networks combines network monitoring, troubleshooting, forensics and analysis into a simple-to-use, all-inclusive package. Sustained by complexity and explosive growth, the network beast has become ever harder to tame.

Android is the world's most popular smartphone OS, but it's also the platform that hackers love to attack most. Android security is constantly in a state of flux. Despite Google's continued claims that its operating system is secure, it's getting hit hard by malicious hackers around the world who have found countless openings to exploit with malware. Android has become such a magnet for malware that security firm Trend Micro believes that the amount of malware to hit Android this year could top 1 million threats. In other words, the post-PC malware threat is here, and it's targeting Android.

CECA Supply & Services Inc.
"CECA Supply & Services Inc., has been able to improve their cash flow and better navigate the public tender system in Algeria."
Learn how an Ex-Im Bank working capital guarantee can help your business post performance and bid bonds, improving your business' cash flow.
Ex-Im Products:
Working Capital Program
CECA Supply & Services Inc. is a Texas based supplier of oilfield equipment, whose primary customers are Algerian state-owned enterprises, which presents an export opportunity and a challenge.
The company must secure most of its business through the Algerian public tender system, which requires businesses to secure a bid bond from their lender with every bid and, if they win a contract, a performance bond. Bid and performance bonds require exporters to put cash up front as security, hurting their business' cash flow.
CECA Supply & Services recently secured a $5 million dollar contract to supply ENAFOR — the Algerian National Drilling Company — with materials from Derrick Corporation a Buffalo, NY based supplier. In order to ship Derrick's equipment, CECA Supply & Services had to provide ENAFOR with a performance bond at 10 percent of the total contract - in this case $500,000.
In order to avoid tying up its cash flow, CECA Supply & Services used a working capital loan guarantee from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) to access working capital financing from its commercial lender –Amegy Bank of Texas.
An EXIM working capital loan guarantee ensures commercial lenders that if CECA Supply & Services defaults on its loan, EXIM will cover 90 percent of the commercial bank's exposure—encouraging the bank to make loans to businesses like CECA Supply & Services that do business abroad.
With an EXIM guarantee in hand, CECA Supply & Services was able to secure financing through its bank using its export-related inventory and accounts receivables, as opposed to being required to put down cash that can be used for its operations and business development. EXIM's guarantee allowed CECA Supply & Services to improve its cash flow and use its foreign receivables as collateral to secure the financing it needed for the performance bond. This allowed CECA Supply & Services to keep its $500,000 to use to secure more sales.
Using an EXIM working capital loan guarantee CECA Supply & Services Inc. has been able to improve its cash flow and better navigate the public tender system in Algeria. The working capital loan guarantee has permitted CECA Supply & Services to bid for more business and bigger deals, without the fear of not being able to support bid and performance bonds, allowing its business to grow.

From Epicurious: "Epicurious challenges coffee expert Dillon Edwards to guess which coffee is more expensive. Edwards breaks down roasts (dark roast vs light roast), processing, freshness, varietals, and source. For each element, the connoisseur looks at and tests each coffee before guessing which coffee costs more. Once the prices are revealed, Edwards explains why a specific coffee costs more and dives into specifics on how each coffee is made."
Aeropress has an article that shows the evolution of its coffee maker over time.
Even though no BPA was leaching from the polycarbonate, we switched to copolyester in August 2009 so that we could assure people that the AeroPress was BPA free. Initially the copolyester was crystal clear. In September 2010 we added a smoky grey tint because our market research indicated that consumers liked the appearance.
It's a lot of fun to make coffee with the Aeropress -- you pour a little water in the piston and put it in the microwave for about 40 seconds. Then you put a microfilter in the cylinder (you get a "years supply" with the Aeropress) and a scoop of ground coffee. The you put the cylinder on top of a cup (the company recommends using a clear mug to make the process even more fun), pour the heated (not boiling -- it'll make the coffee bitter and sour, they say) water, stir for 10 seconds, and press the piston down. A few seconds later, you have a wonderful cup of silky smooth coffee.
After several attempts to get something drinkable out of the Ekobrew Classic Reusable Filter, I figured it out: just grind it finer than the normal stuff in a k-cup and tamp it down a bit. The results were everything I dreamed of and was promised: a k-cup that must be laboriously cleaned after every use, a return to the messy and time-consuming rituals of coffee production that Keurig machines otherwise obviate, and a brew that somehow makes a $20-a-bag Kona blend taste like Maxwell House.
I'd say it's the worst of every world, but the the resulting coffee is still better than a lot of k-cup brews. I suppose the appeal is that I'm not putting k-cups into the trash every day. But that seems a trifling greenwashy thing to begin with that surely has no impact on the general environmental failings associated with coffee consumption. I admit this is a half-brewed thought but in any case I'm going to suggest you just get an Aeropress [Amazon].
