Pic Leads New Colavita-Bialetti Women's Team In 2018
Olive oil company returns to professional bike racing with new co-title sponsor
Article taken from Cycling News
After withdrawing from professional cycling last year, Colavita USA announced that it would return as the co-title sponsor of the new Colavita-Bialetti women's team in 2018. American sprinter Tina Pic will lead the team at select criteriums across North America.
"Bialetti and Colavita have found the perfect fit together in this partnership," says John Profaci, VP, Marketing of Colavita USA, and Team Colavita/Bialetti manager.
"We are very grateful that it allows us to continue our support of this sport that is so important to us and that we believe in so passionately. Team Colavita has been one of the longest-running women's cycling programs in the country, and we put a lot of value into associating our brand with this healthy, community-driven activity. We are very excited that another quality Italian brand like Bialetti shares in our mission and has joined our cause to form Team Colavita/Bialetti."
Colavita has been a staple among sponsorship in professional men's and women's cycling, along with amateur cycling and events. Headquartered in New Jersey, Profaci has been the main driver behind the company's cycling sponsorship program since 2003 including its most recent UCI-registered Colavita-Bianchi women's team last year.
Colavita teams had 15 years of success on the North American circuit, and through its support, helped numerous athletes move on to become national champions, world champions, and Olympic competitors that include Giorgia Bronzini, Rachel Heal and Alison Powers.
The men's program folded in 2008 and Profaci announced in September that the women's team would disband at the end of 2017. He cited a lack of financial support from other sponsors as the reason for ending the program altogether.
"Colavita had been the only cash sponsor to our teams for over a decade despite granting co-title sponsorships to supportive product sponsors, but finally it was deemed too much of a financial burden to continue again into 2018," Profaci told Cyclingnews.
"I had to make the difficult and emotional decision to finally step down from our Colavita pro team program. I was unable to secure a co-title willing to invest money, and it was going to be difficult to go it alone."
Wanting to stay connected to cycling, he redirected some funding to Colavita Cares, a new community outreach program that assists charitable foundations to achieve their goals in fundraising to benefit children, individuals, and families affected by economic hardship, physical disability, emotional suffering, natural disaster, and social discrimination. Colavita-Bianchi's former racer and director Mary Zider and team mechanic Andre Smith have continued to work with that program, which brings meals and mechanic support at charity rides, schools, public events, and pro events; lending a hand assisting teams and cyclists with free mechanic support and more.
With no initial intention of re-launching a professional women's cycling program, Profaci received the sponsorship proposal from the Italian stovetop coffee makers and cookware company Bialetti. It's offered to provide financial support was the co-title partnership that Profaci had been waiting on for 15 years. Also joining as sponsors are Italian companies Bianchi and Vittoria.
"As strange luck sometimes happens, I received a message just one week after the 'program ended' press release was circulated from the Bialetti brand Marketing Manager Julie Lawson. She essentially said, 'Hey John, let's move quickly and get the pro women's team back together!' I still can't believe it. So, we are back and with an exciting and synergistic marketing partner Bialetti - hopefully for the long term."
The team's leader, Pic, is a six-time US national criterium champion and four-time USA Cycling National Racing Calendar points champion. The roster also includes Christina Gokey-Smith and Payten Maness. Pic is looking to bring in several new riders but aiming to keep the team small.
"We're going to try some riders as the season progresses," Pic told Cyclingnews. "We're looking for a good fit. We hope to find that awesome fourth rider and possibly a few more."
The team will mainly compete in criterium racing and plan to be at the USA Crits Series, Sunny King and BC Superweek. They will also compete at the USA Cycling Road National Championships.
"Our focus is on crits since we really love those. I think we'll probably add a few more as the season goes along."

SAGE III to provide highly accurate measurements of atmospheric gases

The International Space Station (ISS) will soon get a new tool to investigate the Earth's upper atmosphere. This device will be capable of conducting highly accurate measurements of aerosols and gaseous constituents in the stratosphere and troposphere.
The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) will study ozone, aerosols, water vapor, and other atmospheric gases to help provide a better understanding of the effects of natural and human-induced changes on the global environment.
SAGE III was initially planned to be launched to the ISS aboard SpaceX's Dragon cargo craft in November 2016 atop a Falcon 9 launcher. The mission, designated CRS-10, will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's (CCAFS) Space Launch Complex 40.
However, it was postponed several times and is currently targeted to fly on Feb. 8, 2017, from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A. The delays were forced by the Sept. 1 explosion at SLC-40 when another Falcon 9 rocket was destroyed during a pre-launch static fire test.

The SAGE III instrument was delivered from NASA's Langley Research Center to NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in November 2015.
"Final powered testing was completed at the KSC Space Station Processing Facility during the past year, and, in December 2016, the instrument payload and the Nadir Viewing Platform were handed over to SpaceX for installation into the Dragon Trunk of the Falcon 9 rocket. The integrated trunk is now awaiting launch," Marilee M. Roell, SAGE III Science Manager at NASA's Langley Research Center told SpaceFlight Insider.
Roell added that there is no more technical work that needs to be done except for a few remove-before-flight items. Although a couple of pre-launch reviews are still planned, all preliminary mission operations activities have been completed.
"The team is well rehearsed and we are ready to support the mission after launch," Roell said.
After arrival at the ISS, SAGE III will be mounted externally on the station on the Expedite the Processing of Experiments to Space Station (ExPRESS) Pallet Adapter (ExPA) to the Express Logistic Carrier (ELC). The instrument will orbit between 239 and 257 miles (385 and 415 kilometers) above Earth's surface at a 51.6-degree inclination with nearly a three-day repeat cycle. The station's orbit is expected to help maximize the scientific value of SAGE III's observations while proving that atmospheric science instruments do have a place on the orbiting laboratory.
To fulfill its scientific goals SAGE III is equipped with a total mass of about 1,162 pounds (527 kilograms) of tools. Its most important payload is considered to be the Sensor Assembly (SA) instrument—a grating spectrometer that measures ultraviolet and visible light and has a two-axis pointing system. SA contains the Charge Coupled Device (CCD) array detector that enhances measurement capability and may allow for new experimental data products like methane, bromine monoxide, and iodine monoxide, as well as measure larger aerosols.
SAGE III is also fitted with the Interface Adapter Module (IAM), the Disturbance Monitoring Package (DMP), the Hexapod Pointing System (Hexapod Electronics Unit and Hexapod Mechanical Assembly), and the Instrument Control Electronics box. IAM is perceived as the "brain" of the instrument payload, providing power and computing to the payload and acting as the interface between the instrument and the station. DMP is a miniature inertial measurement unit that will measure all of the small motions from the ISS, while the Hexapod Pointing System will act as the "legs" of the payload, which keep the instrument level in orbit.
The main scientific objective of the SAGE III mission will be obtaining high quality, global measurements of key components of Earth's atmosphere. In particular, the instrument will assess the state of recovery in the distribution of ozone and will re-establish the aerosol measurements needed by both climate and ozone models. The mission is expected to gain further insight into key processes contributing to ozone and aerosol variability.

"Our view from the space station will give us a new perspective of atmospheric composition. Data from SAGE III, coupled with model results, will allow scientists to monitor the health of the ozone layer and track the recovery of stratospheric ozone since ratification of the Montreal Protocol. By the 2020s—in most areas—models predict that ozone will have recovered about half of the amount lost from the pre-1980 levels. SAGE III will be valuable in assessing the performance of the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite flying on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite," Roell said.
Data from SAGE III should also help to re-institute aerosol measurements crucial for more accurate long-term climate and ozone models. Moreover, if there are any new changes to the ozone layer. This data could help the scientific community identify the cause and assess the impact of the changes.
Understanding the stratospheric ozone changes is considered crucial to determining whether the recovery of the ozone layer is progressing as expected since the Montreal Protocol was enacted.
"We expect to see some recovery, based on model data, in the amount of stratospheric ozone since the 1990s. We'll also be looking to see if there are any new changes occurring in the stratosphere," Roell noted.
The instrument that is set to be installed on the ISS is the second SAGE III sent into space. The first SAGE III was launched on the Russian Meteor-3M spacecraft in December 2001. SAGE is one of NASA Langley's longest-running Earth science missions. The idea for the instrument, begun in the 1970s with the Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement (SAM) instrument, was developed and tested at Langley.
"SAM, as well as SAM II, SAGE, SAGE II, SAGE III Meteor-3M, and now SAGE III/ISS have all been led by Langley. This latest project also included the Nadir Viewing Platform to point SAGE in the right direction, as well as other new hardware and software, all of which was designed, built, integrated, and tested at Langley," Roell said.
When SAGE III is on the ISS, it will be operated from the Flight Mission Support Center at Langley. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. built the SAGE III/ISS instrument in Boulder, Colorado, and the European Space Agency and Thales Alenia Space provided a hexapod to keep the instrument pointing in the right direction as the ISS maneuvers in space.

They need to establish a baseline on what is up there, so they can monitor how it changes once they start the climate modification using high altitude sulfur compound spraying to stop the global warming from getting out of control.
You don't have to be a genius to realize that if we let the warming from carbon dioxide we have already added to the atmosphere continue, it will begin to release vast quantities of methane from thawing permafrost and from the ocean floor. Methane is eight times more efficient at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. A lot of methane released faster than it can decay risks starting a rapid period of warming which would transform the surface of much of the planet to desert. Melting ice will submerge nearly all coastal cities. It would destroy civilization and kill most of the population from starvation.
At a cost of $4 billion a year, we can prevent that. But only if we get started soon, before the methane tipping point is reached. What would you do?

As a mechanical engineer at ESA being involved in the HMA development I can only say that I am proud to see the SAGE III experiment is flying soon. I wish good luck operations team at LARc in conducting experiment and want to thank all the colleagues for their contributions.
Good luck SAGE III!

Copperas Cove, Texas
LAN provided design improvements and upgrades to the City's Northwest Treatment Plant (NW WWTP), a 4.5-mgd package plant with the last significant upgrade occurring in 2003. The preliminary engineering report prepared by LAN identified four major deficiencies and developed a priority schedule for addressing the issues which included a phased approach to design and construction. Phase One of the project focused on energy efficiency, with new process and digester blowers and replacement of the diffused aeration system. The system design from 1983 utilized a coarse bubble system suspended from air bridges; however, it had previously been modified to a fine bubble system. As a result, tank mixing and oxygen transfer (pounds per day) had decreased to the point where during the summer months, the plant was not able to fully nitrify. LAN designed a system which included high-efficiency turbo blowers and utilized submersible aerator/mixers to increase mixing and transfer. Since its installation in the summer of 2016, electrical usage has decreased by 25% or approximately $5,000 per month.
The second phase of the project focused on operational enhancements, which included mitigating the impact of flood stage in the nearby stream, replacement of failed/problematic screens and sludge thickeners, and miscellaneous equipment replacements and enhancements. During flood stage, the discharge pipe to the nearby stream submerged and subsequently flooded the UV units installed in the 2003 improvements. To protect the units, gate valves were installed with an overflow to an existing, unutilized tank for pumping to a protected downstream manhole with an emergency pump.

New service to help resolve disputes 24-7
Published Friday, 08 February, 2019 at 11:17 AM
Queenslanders will now be able to access important information any time of the day or night to help them resolve neighbourhood disputes using innovative 'chatbots'.
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Yvette D'Ath said the two chatbots – online software that can simulate a conversation with users – were developed with busy people in mind.
"The chatbots, named MANDI and SANDI, are an illustration of what can be done when technology and legal services meet," she said.
"The online helpers will assist people find timely and accurate information about noise, tree and fence disputes."
Mrs D'Ath said the chatbots, named MANDI and SANDI, would allow people to access the important services at times convenient to them, rather than being limited to standard business hours.
"Many people work 9am to 5pm, so accessing assistance is not an easy task," she said.
The chatbot idea came from the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) and a similar idea was presented at the Department of Justice and Attorney-General's inaugural 'Hackcess to Justice' hackathon in May — a 48-hour innovation design thinking event that involved students, young professionals and experts working together to solve a problem.
The winning team comprised engineering students Sophia Hooton and Roy Portas from the University of Queensland, and law students Kimia Zarei and Joanne Marie de Jesus from the Queensland University of Technology, who worked with the Department's digital transformation team to produce their chatbot.
Ms Zarei said she was looking forward to seeing how the community would react to their chatbot.
"Our idea helps to alleviate the 'gap' experienced by the disadvantaged community in disputes by giving the power back to individuals," Ms Zarei said
Mrs D'Ath congratulated the students for coming up with such a unique approach.
"Appropriate and fair access to justice is paramount for all Queenslanders," Mrs D'Ath said.
"Having these four young people come up with such a brilliant solution that harnesses technology that is accessible to all shows keen insight and innovation."
Mrs D'Ath said the two chatbots were quite different in their approach.
"MANDI is designed to walk people through a guided conversation," she said.
"The user selects options from a predetermined list and the chatbot directs them to accurate information to help them resolve a wide range of neighbourhood disputes in a safe and fair manner.
"While SANDI is a conversational chatbot for QCAT, designed to give people information about processes to resolve their tree and fence disputes.
"SANDI allows you to enter questions in your own words and it will provide plain English information and links to relevant QCAT webpages and forms."

NASA goes old school with SLS aerodynamic testing
By Anthony Wood
NASA goes old school with SLS ...
NASA engineers adjust a 10 ft model of the SLS rocket prior to aerodynamic testing

NASA/MSFC
NASA is turning to a 56-year-old wind tunnel to put its next generation Space Launch System (SLS) rocket through its aerodynamic paces. The model used in the test represents a cargo variant of the SLS that will stand slightly taller than the eventual first crewed version of the rocket, which will be tested during an unmanned mission in late 2018.
The SLS is being designed as a multi use launch vehicle, which will extend the capabilities of manned spaceflight beyond the limits of low-Earth orbit. Among other goals, the powerful launch system will make possible the first manned exploration of a near-Earth asteroid, and, alongside the agency's Orion spacecraft, will represent a vital element of NASA's grand ambition of placing mankind on Mars.
The SLS rocket family will eventually be available in four distinct configurations, allowing the launch system to cater for a wide range of crew and cargo transportation needs. The first and smallest configuration of the rocket, known as SLS Block 1, will launch in late 2018, catapulting an unmanned Orion spacecraft on the first step of its test mission to orbit the Moon.
For the recent aerodynamic tests, NASA looked beyond the rocket's maiden flight to test the qualities of the SLS 1B Cargo configuration. This 327 ft (99.6 m) tall manifestation of the SLS will boast an impressive lift capacity of 105-metric-tons (115-tons).
The ability to transport heavy payloads into space will allow NASA to operate in the area surrounding, and beyond, Earth's moon. This isolated yet accessible environment represents the perfect region in which to test technologies that will later be used in the journey to Mars.
However, prior to plunging a payload into the inhospitable environment of outer space, the SLS 1B will first have to survive a journey through Earth's dense lower atmosphere. To test the structural strength and aerodynamic qualities of the future SLS 1B, NASA placed a 10 ft (3.4 m) model of the rocket inside its venerated Transonic Dynamics Tunnel, located at the agency's Langley Research Center in Virginia.
The model was fitted with 446 miniature microphones, and subjected to transonic wind speeds in an attempt to simulate a high-velocity journey through Earth's lower atmosphere.
"Just below supersonic is where shock waves begin to form on the vehicle and can dance and oscillate on the rocket," explained Langley rocket scientist Dave Piatak. "The first step of these missions is safely getting above Earth's atmosphere and into orbit."
As the faux rocket was put through its paces, the onboard microphones harvested data detailing how the launcher behaved when confronted with uneven winds and pressures. Moving forward, this data will be used to inform a computer model of the SLS, which will allow NASA to undertake detailed simulations regarding the rocket's structural strength during flight.

Wind-tunnel testing is still very important in aerospace engineering. No one solves the Navier-Stokes equations better than Mother Nature. Also, regarding the fact that the wind tunnel is 56 years old, I doubt that the air molecules know the difference (and are contemporary in any case).
MattII January 4, 2017 07:22 PM
I do wonder why they didn't try this sooner.
Timelord January 4, 2017 09:29 PM
SLS is such a boring, mundane name. They really should change it to something punchier if they want to get the public interested in the program. May I suggest Saturn VI or even Saturn X, since they leaped from Saturn I directly to Saturn V about 50 years ago? After all, nobody would have paid attention to the STS, but everybody knew the Space Shuttle. Lay minds need names, not acronyms.
JamesDemello January 4, 2017 09:30 PM
Why is NASA still in the rocket building business? They should leave that to the cheaper private sector and move on with developing new technology - not perpetuating old technology.
christopher January 4, 2017 09:52 PM
Why? Musk and others already have launch platforms - since when was it a good idea to spend taxpayer money to copy what's already working commercially?
It's both cheaper and safer to use what's already working!
Imran Sheikh January 6, 2017 12:11 AM
To N.A.S.A -- SLS Block 1B Cargo @SLS Block 2 Cargo should have pin heads too for better directions and aerodynamics, also the boosters top triangles should be re-modeled to right triangles(half cone) with flat surface facing rocket OR else the rocket itself should have a collapsible extrusion above(core stage) both boosters that will create self drift wing for the boosters. also NASA should include a large compressed air or water tank to space which when returning to earth will release AIR or STEAM from the front pinhead nozzle which will create a rather cool wind or steam shield around the returning rocket till the time a safe low velocity is achieved.. Speaking of which i still don't understand why our returning spacecrafts hits the atmosphere with such high speed, IF they enter the atmosphere in the rotational direction of earth they will have a very lower velocity and no tremendous heat should generate while hitting air. -- Imran Sheikh

Dan Newton - Accordian Player
by David Edin March 18, 2021
After winning the Nebraska State Accordion Contest at the Czech Festival in Wilber in 1987, Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton moved to Minnesota and has been wowing Twin Cities music lovers ever since. Equally at home playing Celtic, Tex-Mex, Cajun, blues, jazz, Scandinavian, French musette, polka, and pop, Dan heads up a bunch of different groups, including Jumbo Ya Ya, the Rockin' Pinecones, and the incomparable Cafe Accordion Orchestra. We caught up with Dan to see what he's been up to . . .
What have you been up to this past year without touring and live concerts?
This pandemic year has been rough for everyone, but has had some silver linings. I've taken a lot more walks with Elizabeth (my wife) and added more birds to our life list. When the lakes and parks got too crowded last spring we started walking in cemeteries (a much safer situation for everyone) where I started collecting a list of curious names from headstones. (e.g. Jasper Tarbox, Minnie Suits and Nene Mambo come to mind) I spent a lot of time going through old compositions I had forgotten and eventually recorded an album of solo original instrumentals in my living room. Most of the tunes had their origins in a dream state, hence the title "Out of My Dreams".
'Out of my Dreams' BUY CD >>> Download from Amazon >>> iTunes >>>
Any new Technology challenges you've overcome during the pandemic?
I did my first ever live-stream concert on March 17, 2020, the day after the Shelter-In-Place order started for Minnesota. As of March 17, 2021 I have done 65 concerts with Elizabeth from the comfort of my living room and have been fortunate enough to develop an on-line community that helps us feel less isolated. We continue to perform live streams every Monday at noon, CT, you can watch them live or later at https://www.facebook.com/dan.newton.77
Any favorite A Prairie Home Companion memories?
I have a lot of great memories from my days with APHC. It's likely my favorite moments were on the set of the Prairie Home movie with GK, Robert Altman and all the cast and crew. Watching Pop Wagner give rope twirling lessons to John C Reilly and Woody Harrelson was a gas, as was having Kevin Kline ask me if it would be OK if he sat in and sang with my band after rehearsal. (Would it be "OK"!) It was a real treat hanging around with all the PHC musician regulars, waiting for our chance to get on stage and play musicians waiting for a chance to get on stage!
Big plans as we more people get vaccinated and things return to a somewhat normal state?
As Spring approaches I'm looking forward to more walks, bird-watching during the migration, getting vaccinated (fingers crossed) and the return of live music with in-person audiences. I can't wait to start playing again with former PHC regulars Pat Donohue and the Prairie All Stars, including Gary Raynor, Peter Johnson, Richard Kriehn, Joe Savage and (some times!) Richie Dworsky. What a great joy it is to play music with that group!
WATCH Salsipuedes (which they once played on A Prairie Home Companion)
As LIVE performances return, keep up with Dan's activities, either solo or with his many bands, as well as all other activities on his website DaddySqueeze.com.

Video: James Harden lobs it to Clint Capela from near half-court for Rockets highlight-reel play
JE Yaranon
The Houston Rockets have returned to form, and it was again quite evident in Thursday night's 104-97 road win over the Dallas Mavericks.
True to the team's fast-paced style of action, James Harden and Clint Capela provided the play of the game, as they connected on a half-court alley-oop that's worthy of a dozen replays.
#JamesHarden picks out Capela on the half-court alley-oop!
Harden has 25 PTS, 13 AST, 5 REB, 6 3PM
📺: @ESPNNBA pic.twitter.com/a1fARsdzSj
— NBA (@NBA) January 25, 2018
The highlight-reel assist and dunk happened midway into the fourth quarter, when the Rockets were up by 15 and were about to fully put away the Mavs. Harden was just a step away from the mid-court line and looked like he was just setting up a normal play, when he suddenly threw a high pass to a streaking Capela, who got free courtesy of a Ryan Anderson screen from the left elbow. The slam wasn't that ferocious, but the execution of the play represented how comfortable they are with their system.
James Harden (25 points and 13 assists) and Clint Capela (16 points and 13 rebounds) each had a double-double, and though Chris Paul had a quiet night (3-for-12 shooting and four assists), the win extended the trio's awesome trend. The Rockets are now a perfect 17-0 when all three start the game.
We should expect the Rockets to continue the surge. Their resume and firepower may not be as intimidating as that of the Golden State Warriors, but like the defending champs, they are a handful on both sides of the floor.
Houston has won seven of its last eight games. Next on the calendar is a visit with the New Orleans Pelicans and their twin towers, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. The Pels are also rolling right now, winning six of their last seven.

London area digs 'out of hole' with 14-year-low jobless rate
The London-area economy continued its strong performance in September, with the jobless rate staying at a 14-year low and employment figures reaching levels in the region not seen since before the past recession.
Jonathan Juha
Published on: October 5, 2018 | Last Updated: October 5, 2018 4:01 PM EDT
For the second month in a row, the London-St. Thomas area's jobless rate stayed at 5.2 per cent in September, which is less than half a percentage point away from the all-time low unemployment record of 4.8 per cent, set in August 2004.
Figures released by Statistics Canada Friday also show the number of people working in the London region – an area that also includes St. Thomas and Strathroy – rose in September by 600 to 256,600, the all-time high for people working, matching the number set in 2007.
The #Ldnont area jobless rate was 5.2% in September, unchanged from a month earlier. We'll have a full story shortly.
— London Free Press (@LFPress) October 5, 2018
"Another month of good news," Don Kerr, a professor at King's University College at Western University, said of the latest figures. "Ten of the last 12 months have seen employment gains in the city (and) employment is up by fully six per cent over the last year, which is among the highest rates of employment growth across Canada."
But as good as those numbers are, they are also a reflection of how difficult it has been for the region to recover from the fallout of the biggest economic recession in a generation, Kerr noted.
"Let's hope this continues because, in reality, we are only now really beginning to dig ourselves out of a hole," he said.
The local situation also remains better than the provincial unemployment rate, which rose by 0.2 percentage points and now sits at 5.9 per cent, despite an employment increase of 36,000 – the third such increase in four months.
The number of people in the London-area labour force, which includes people working and looking for jobs, also increased by 600 in September, reaching 270,600. That's a reversal from August, when the labour force fell by 100.
The recent renegotiation of NAFTA, now known as the USMCA trade deal, and a strong economy south the border bode well for the economic future of the province, said Brian DePratto, TD senior economist, who described the recent job report as solid.
"The big takeaway from the USMCA is that we dodged a pretty serious bullet," he said, referring to the threats of tariffs made against the auto sector.
DePratto also said it was surprising to see wages not growing as fast as would be expected considering the low unemployment rates.
"This is a point where wages if they are not accelerating, they should at least remain pretty steady," he said.
Nationally, the country added 63,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate dropping to 5.9 per cent from 6.0 per cent in August.
For some observers, the local participation rate – the percentage of adults in the London area either working or looking for jobs – continues to be a point of concern. That number remained unchanged from August at 64.1 per cent.
"The participation rate is not as high as it should be," said Gerry Macartney, head of the London Chamber of Commerce.
"We still have far too many people capable of working who aren't working, and the irony here is that we also have a huge number of jobs available that aren't being filled."
Macartney suggested the ideal percentage of job market participation should be closer to 70 per cent.
Despite the strong job creation seen in the region recently, the fact that the participation rate remains so low is also a sign of how hard the region was hit in 2008, he added.
"A lot of people got disconnected from the workforce back in those days and still haven't found their way back," Macartney said.
"When you look at new jobs created, we are doing quite well . . . but it is still not closing the gap between those who aren't in that workforce that could be."

Once a patient, now a practitioner	 NOTE TO READERS


Professor Hackbardt began teaching art and photography at Kenyon in fall 2000. Her MFA is from the University of New Mexico. Her work focuses on issues of identity, the family and gendered expectations of contemporary society.
This course is an introduction to the fundamental technical and aesthetic issues of black-and-white photography, with emphasis on using the medium for personal expression. Students will work through a series of problems designed to increase understanding of basic camera operation, black-and-white darkroom techniques, and art-making strategies. Regular critiques are scheduled to increase understanding of communicating with an audience and sharpen the ability to analyze and discuss works of art. No prior photographic experience is needed, but a reliable manual film camera is required. This counts towards the introductory requirement for the major and minor. No prerequisite. Offered every semester.
In this course students will develop their understanding of color photography as a medium for contemporary art, and as a ubiquitous messaging system doubly bound to veracity and deception. Students will produce digital photographs and then utilize various procedures for image editing, manipulation and color digital printing. Students will create and maintain a web portfolio of their coursework. Theory and workflow, digital camera operation and use of color as an element in photographic design will be covered. This counts towards the intermediate requirement for the major and minor. Prerequisite: ARTS 106, 107 or permission of instructor. Offered every third year.

Prerequisite: ARTS 106, 107, or permission of instructor.
This course is an introduction to digital photography as a creative medium. Subjects covered will include fundamental digital photography skills such as image editing, camera work and digital printing. Assignments will direct students toward the development of personal photographic expression, and the exploration of the shifting signs and significance of photography meaning and digitization. Through readings and discussions, students will be introduced to different ways of conceptualizing and interpreting photography based on such variables as process and technology, motives of representation and imagination, and the politics of visuality, history and identity. This counts towards the intermediate requirement for the major and minor. Prerequisite: ARTS 106, 107 or permission of instructor. Offered once a year.
Required for majors in studio arts, this first semester of a two-semester sequence of courses is designed to enable students to develop their personal artistic vision based on the foundation of introductory and intermediate studio art courses. Students will be expected to develop a self-generated body of creative work based on a concentrated investigation of materials, methods and ideas. They will develop oral and written presentation and research skills as they work toward a professional exhibition in the second semester. Critiques, discussions, presentations and readings will provide context and feedback for this process. Students will learn to develop the elements necessary for professional exhibition of a cohesive body of work, including developing ideas, writing an artist's statement and resume, and perfecting presentation skills. Studio arts majors are expected to take this class and ARTS 481 with two different faculty members. Prerequisite: senior art major or permission of instructor. Offered spring semester.
Required for majors in studio arts, this course is designed to enable students to further develop their personal artistic vision based on the foundation of their earlier studio courses and the previous semester "Advanced Studio." Well into their senior projects at the start of the semester, students will continue to refine their concepts and skills into a cohesive body of work for exhibition at the end of the semester. Critiques, discussions and presentations will continue to amplify the studio experience. Professional presentation, writing artistic statements and resumes and visual documentation skills will be part of the course. The senior capstone, an exhibition required of studio art majors, will include artwork made during this course. Prerequisite: ARTS 480 and senior art major or permission of instructor. Offered fall semester.
The studio art faculty does not recommend individual study because we feel it is important for students to work in the context of other student artists. We understand, however, that on rare occasions an individual study may be appropriate. Individual study must be approved by the department according to the following guidelines: Individual study should be undertaken only when a student has exhausted all the options for that medium in the regular curriculum. The subject for an individual study must be in a discipline in which the faculty member has expertise. An individual study does not count toward the requirements of the studio art major; it is considered an extra course. When possible, the individual study student should participate in some aspects of a course working in a similar medium in the faculty member's field in order to gain feedback from other students. The student is responsible for writing a contract and maintaining a schedule. Prerequisite: appropriate introductory and intermediate level courses in the field of the individual study. Because students must enroll for individual studies by the end of the seventh class day of each semester, they should begin discussion of the proposed individual study preferably the semester before, so that there is time to devise the proposal and seek departmental approval before the registrar's deadline.

Church roofs differ from residential and commercial roofs in many ways, thanks to several unique features and components. Roofing and gutter replacement contractor Roofmasters Roofing and Sheet Metal Company, Inc. discusses the challenges of maintaining church roofs.
Regular cleaning is imperative to keep your home's roof healthy. It is exposed to extreme weather conditions and more prone to wear and tear than any other part of your home. And in order to preserve the function of your roof, choosing the right one – trustworthy and professional – among many roofing contractors is important.
Homeowners need to consider different factors when choosing the right roofing materials for them. If you live in a humid subtropical state like Kansas, then metal roofs are definitely the best choice for you.
One of the most important tasks that any homeowner should do is select the right materials for their roof. One of which includes shingles which are considered the most popular and versatile materials available today. When applied properly by expert roofing contractors, these shingles can last for a relatively long period of time while also ensuring that your home maintains its style.
The metal roofing sector has an interesting year ahead. Despite seeing a lot of growth recently, many challenges are looming on the horizon that may affect homeowner behavior and slow down the industry's momentum.

We walked the Sydney´s famous coastal walk from Coogee to Bondi to find the perfect location and light. Ains chose Gordons Bay for our little couple shoot. Only accessible via foot, Gordons Bay is a snorkelling and diving paradise.
Great to catch up with you guys on the other side of the world. Good luck with your adventures in Sri Lanka. See you!
I am in Sydney until the end of June, message me if you like your love documented too.


This chapter shows how to combine basic C++ with the functionality provided by Qt to create a few small graphical user interface (GUI) applications.
This chapter shows how to combine basic C++ with the functionality provided by Qt to create a few small graphical user interface (GUI) applications. This chapter also introduces two key Qt ideas: "signals and slots" and layouts. In Chapter 2, we will go into more depth, and in Chapter 3, we will start building a more realistic application.
If you already know Java or C# but have limited experience with C++, you might want to start by reading the C++ introduction in Appendix D.
Let's start with a very simple Qt program. We will first study it line by line, and then see how to compile and run it.
Lines 1 and 2 include the definitions of the QApplication and QLabel classes. For every Qt class, there is a header file with the same name (and capitalization) as the class that contains the class's definition.
Line 5 creates a QApplication object to manage application-wide resources. The QApplication constructor requires argc and argv because Qt supports a few command-line arguments of its own.
Line 6 creates a QLabel widget that displays "Hello Qt!". In Qt and Unix terminology, a widget is a visual element in a user interface. The term stems from "window gadget" and is the equivalent of both "control" and "container" in Windows terminology. Buttons, menus, scroll bars, and frames are all examples of widgets. Widgets can contain other widgets; for example, an application window is usually a widget that contains a QMenuBar, a few QToolBars, a QStatusBar, and some other widgets. Most applications use a QMainWindow or a QDialog as the application window, but Qt is so flexible that any widget can be a window. In this example, the QLabel widget is the application window.
Line 7 makes the label visible. Widgets are always created hidden so that we can customize them before showing them, thereby avoiding flicker.
Line 8 passes control of the application on to Qt. At this point, the program enters the event loop. This is a kind of stand-by mode where the program waits for user actions such as mouse clicks and key presses. User actions generate events (also called "messages") to which the program can respond, usually by executing one or more functions. For example, when the user clicks a widget, a "mouse press" and a "mouse release" event are generated. In this respect, GUI applications differ drastically from conventional batch programs, which typically process input, produce results, and terminate without human intervention.
For simplicity, we don't bother calling delete on the QLabel object at the end of the main() function. This memory leak is harmless in such a small program, since the memory will be reclaimed by the operating system when the program terminates.
to create a platform-specific makefile from the project file. (The qmake tool is covered in more detail in Appendix B.) Type make to build the program. Run it by typing hello on Windows, ./hello on Unix, and open hello.app on Mac OS X. To terminate the program, click the close button in the window's title bar.
If you are using Windows and have installed the Qt Open Source Edition and the MinGW compiler, you will have a shortcut to an MS-DOS Prompt window that has all the environment variables correctly set up for Qt. If you start this window, you can compile Qt applications within it using qmake and make as described previously. The executables produced are put in the application's debug or release folder (e.g., C:\examples\chap01\hello\release\hello.exe).
QLabel *label = new QLabel("
Hello "
and rebuild the application. When run, it should look like Figure 1.2. As the example illustrates, it's easy to brighten up a Qt application's user interface using some simple HTML-style formatting.


As part of our premium polished concrete floor service we now include a superior grade of anti slip treatment, that not only makes for a safer floor, it also protects the floor from staining and increases ease of maintenance.

How tough is the surface of polished concrete – is it easily broken or marked by chairs, sofas and other furniture. If something heavy, eg a heavy glass vase or and iron?
Polished concrete is extremely tough when thoroughly densified through the correct application of densifiers. I wouldn't recommend applying concrete over a stone floor, you would be best removing the stone first. We have worked on many concrete floors which had underfloor heating installed, they seemed pretty efficient.


T he September equinox officially marks the coming of autumn. However, we typically don't see a noticeable difference in the weather until the very end of September or the first part of October.
These changes offer a lot to anglers when it comes to coastal fishing. It means that the blistering heat of summer is once again behind us. Much more comfortable fishing conditions are in store for us in the weeks ahead.
With the exception of a couple staggered seasonal frontal passages, October should also mean that moderate winds begin replacing the higher winds we've experienced over the past few months. A decrease in the amount of daylight hours will soon become noticeable, as well.
The entire environment begins undergoing an instinctive transition as nature preps itself for the colder months of the year. The sheer amount of evolving adjustments is far too numerous to list here, but anglers are usually interested only in the changes that affect the fish and the fishing.
Savvy coastal anglers know the kind of fun that the changes in October can bring. They recognize this month as being the most significant time of the year for the beautifully brazened, wide-shouldered, and hard fighting redfish.
Any of a number of different reasons explain why this month is so popular for redfish, but this being the time for their urge to spawn is probably at the top of the list. The male redfish are ready to spawn every day, or every night as it may be—and the females every few nights.
Regardless, it's breeding time for these big bruisers, and they get hungry. The appetite of the redfish is at its highest, especially for the large females. They will literally want to eat anything and everything they can manage.
These big mommas are ravenous, and will often attack anything that closely resembles any of the natural food sources—small crustaceans, worms, eels, crabs, mud minnows, shrimp, mullet, shad, piggy perch, croaker, etc.
Their persistence in fulfilling their hunger cravings means the odds are tipped in the favor of anglers right now. So, hang on for the ride once it starts, because it does promise to be fun.
October is historically known to present much higher tides than other months. So, a huge number of these big reds will be found foraging for food atop real estate that might not have been covered by water until now.
Marshy areas such as the numerous back lakes on Matagorda Island are primo spots to pinpoint your search for reds taking advantage of these higher tides. Higher water covers more of the marsh in many of the back lakes, which means there will now be water in grassy spots that offer protection to a lot of the smaller crustaceans and baitfish.
What follows the bait into the grass? The redfish, of course!
Anglers are often able to place either natural live bait, or plastic imitations, right up against the bank and reap great success, even in some really shallow water. Wading anglers often stand an even greater chance. They are able to cover a lot more surface area by casting and retrieving top water baits and plastic tails tight against the grass line as they move quickly and quietly down the shoreline.
As we progress through this month and into the next, a couple other things anglers need to consider in their approach to successful fall fishing for redfish, as well as for large trophy-class trout.
The first thing to think about we discussed previously. The days will continue to get shorter, resulting in less sunlight each day. Secondly (mainly for the artificial enthusiasts out there), keep in mind your bait's silhouette whenever you're fishing these low-light conditions.
Anglers who fish artificial baits should transition to dark-colored lures and experiment with the more common plastic suspending baits. These darker, suspending lures imitate the silhouette of a mullet and contrasts the bait better against the sunlit background.
Tight lines to all, and be safe out there.

Apple Gives Sneak Peek Into The Future of The Pro Desktop
Posted byLarry Fire June 10, 2013 November 6, 2013 Posted inApple, GadgetsTags:Apple, Gadget, Gadgets, Pro Desktop
Apple today showed a sneak peek into the future of the pro desktop with a first look at the next generation Mac Pro. Designed around a revolutionary unified thermal core, the Mac Pro introduces a completely new pro desktop architecture and design that is optimized for performance inside and out. With next generation Xeon processors, dual workstation-class GPUs, Thunderbolt 2, PCIe-based flash storage, and ultra-fast ECC memory, the new 9.9-inch tall Mac Pro packs an amazing amount of power into an incredibly small package.
The next generation Mac Pro is architected around an ingenious unified thermal core that allows the desktop to efficiently share its entire thermal capacity across all the processors. The result is a pro desktop with breakthrough performance packed into a design that is one-eighth the volume of the current Mac Pro. Next generation Intel Xeon E5 processors with up to 12 core configurations deliver double the floating point performance. With two AMD FirePro workstation-class GPUs, the all-new Mac Pro is up to 2.5 times faster than the current Mac Pro and delivers up to an amazing 7 teraflops of compute power. The new Mac Pro also features PCIe-based flash storage that is up to 10 times faster than conventional desktop hard drives and includes the latest four-channel ECC DDR3 memory running at 1866 MHz to deliver up to 60GBps of memory bandwidth. With all that power, the new Mac Pro lets you seamlessly edit full-resolution 4K video while simultaneously rendering effects in the background.
The next generation Mac Pro is the most expandable Mac ever built. With six Thunderbolt 2 ports that can deliver up to 20Gbps of bandwidth to each external device, Mac Pro is perfect for connecting to external storage, multiple PCI expansion chassis, audio and video breakout boxes, and the latest external displays, including 4K desktop displays. Each of the six Thunderbolt 2 ports supports up to six daisy-chained devices, giving you the ability to connect up to 36 high-performance peripherals. Thunderbolt 2 is completely backwards compatible with existing Thunderbolt peripherals, and allows you to transfer data between Macs faster and easier than ever.
The next generation Mac Pro will be available later this year. To learn more, visit www.apple.com/mac-pro.
Apple Releases Developer Preview of OS X Mavericks With More Than 200 New Features
MONDO To Release The Black Beetle Poster By Francesco Francavilla On Tuesday, June 11th


The New Single is a lifestyle book to help women after a big life change. I had the pleasure of working with the author on creating print and social media collaterals leading up to the launch of the book and for events surrounding the release in 2015.
Each of the social media pages for The New Single needed a consistent cover image. The cover photo design portrays the design theme of all of the marketing materials created throughout the launch campaign.
Leading up to the release of The New Single, we created a series of "teaser" social media posts for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with quotes from the book. Each post has a feeling of calm wisdom that coincides with the overall content of the book.
Tamsen had written books previous to The New Single and on her personal Facebook, there a page dedicated to all of her books. To make it clear that each of the books could be purchased, I created a visually appealing page that included buttons that clearly conveyed each book could be bought.
I also created a "Buy The Book" page for on The New Single's Facebook page that visually followed the look of other visual elements and clearly conveyed an option to click and buy.
Surrounding the official release of The New Single, Tamsen took part in a number of events, from the launch party to panel discussions. For each of those events, I created promotional materials, including banners, invites, newsletters, posters and more.
The launch party for The New Single took place in a Manhattan restaurant with over 100 guests, including local and national celebrities. To promote the book from the party, I created materials that were photo-friendly and would encourage people to share to their social media followers.
Materials included invites, posters, table cards, banners and more.
The invite was designed for email as simple, but elegant. The gold and typeface matched the color of the text on the book cover. The information is cleanly laid out to clearly draw the eye to the important information, while still conveying all of the necessary information.
The "selfie banner" was designed as a point for photo opportunities and to promote the various social media handles. The book is the main focal point with the social media handles below, still visible in pictures. At the very bottom of the banner (out of the view of pictures) it says "Take Selfie Here" to encourage people to take their picture with the banner and post on social media. The banner was used at all of the events during the book launch tour.
Social media posters were placed around the venue to further reinforce posting on social media, as well as provide quick reference for social media handles and tags. Some of the posters included quotes from Tamsen that are in the book.
Small table cards were placed on tables throughout the venue as well with quotes from the book. These cards followed the same design scheme as the social media posts and posters.
Immediately following the launch party, Tamsen took part in expert panel discussions featuring experts from the book. One example of these discussions was at a WeWork office in Manhattan.
First, I created an invites for the event that were used in emails and printed on posters. These invites were similar to the one used for the launch party, with the gold used from the book cover text and same typeface. The email invite included a register button for people to click and register prior to the event. The invites also featured images and information about each of the panel participants.
At the event, people were provided with panel participant bios in flyers and cards with each of the panelists' information.


All of the pupils who attend Holly Grove School have an Education Health & Care Plan (EHCP), which will have been issued following a Statutory Assessment.
All new requests for places at Holly Grove School are made through the EHCP Annual Review (or a new EHCP process), which recommends that a special school would be the best type of provision to meet the identified needs of that child. This agreement needs to be made in conjunction with the Lancashire County Council Special Educational Needs Designated Officer (SENDO), and based upon advice from their current school and other professionals such as an Educational Psychologist (EP).
Once this recommendation is indicated, the parent/carer can arrange a Non-Prejudicial Visit (NPV) to view Holly Grove School either via SENDIASS or by contacting the Headteacher. This enables parents/carers to see first-hand what our school has to offer and if our setting is indeed best placed to meet the needs of their child. If after the visit, parents/carers support the request for a place at Holly Grove, the LA will be notified, and in turn will approach the school to formally request a place. Priority for school places is always given to those who live within the school's local area.
Where a child is to be admitted to the school the LA will inform both the school and their parents/carers, in writing of its decision. Prior to admission, the LA and previous school will provide the school with any reports, assessments or other relevant documentation, relating to the child's/young person's needs.
Notify them of the planned admission date.


The National Cat Management Strategy Group paper, submitted in September 2016, proposes a supposed 'strategy' for the management of cats in New Zealand.
So far (15/11/2016) however, there has been neither the promised consultation nor any collaboration between NCMSG and many other interested parties like us. Therefore we have the impression that the real intention of the group is to confront the public with accomplished facts.
Cats are a much-maligned species in New Zealand due to the native bird population suffering a decline over the decades. Despite the impact of cats being much less significant than the human or rodent threat, they – being defenceless and thus the perfect scapegoats – are consistently accused as murderers of bird life. Rats and other vermin love to eat bird eggs and baby birds and are the main culprits. Ironically, the main predator of the rat is the cat.
Remove the cats and the bird life will suffer immeasurably.
Northland Cats in Balance supports the rights of cats throughout New Zealand. Please add your support to our latest campaign.
Go to 'Action & Support' above and ask us how you can help.

About The Monster Slayer
Monster slayer and the sun spirit drive the serpent monster away to protect life on earth. Activities in the skies, such as comets and falling stars may have appeared like serpents threatening to those living on earth.
Marked Down $600.00
(1926-1984) Painting the Dream: the Visionary Art of Navajo Painter David Chethlahe Paladin was published in 1992 by the artist's widow, Lynda Paladin. This artist credited Marc Chagall, Mark Tobey and Morris Graves as influencing his approach to painting as well as how he treated his subject matter.
The Huichol Indians' work also impacted the appearance of his art. For 2 1/2 years Paladin was a prisoner of war, released finally at Dachau in a near coma state.
In 1975 Newsweek cited him as the nation's "leading Navajo modern artist". The Santa Fean magazine named him Artist of the Year in 1981.
Major exhibitions of his work have taken place at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth (1966), at the Heard Museum (1967, 1975), at the William Penn Memorial Museum in Pittsburgh (1969), at the Albuquerque Museum (1975, 1985), at the American Indian Art Center in New York (1975), at the Navajo Tribal Museum in Window Rock, Arizona (1984), at the San Diego Museum of Man (1985) and at the Museum of Art at the University of Arizona in Tucson (1988).
