The present study aimed at investigating a balance between environment and livestock grazing, through identifying appropriate stocking rate in rangeland with highest biodiversity and forage quality. The experiment was carried out to determine the effects of six stocking rates on Shannon Weiner index of functional group diversity and nutritive value and relationship between them in the edge of the Tibetan plateau of China. The results showed that abundance of functional group diversity indices were significantly influenced by stocking rates (p<0.05) and the highest appeared in 2.5 and 2.6 animal month unit (AMU) ha-1. There were significant differences in forage content of nitrogen (N), water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) under stocking rates (p<0.05). There were higher N and WSC content but lower NDF and ADF content under 2.5 and 2.6 AMU ha-1 than other stocking rates. Positive relationship was found between all functional group diversity indices and N and WSC content of community but negative relationship between all functional group diversity indices and NDF and ADF content of community. All the results represented that moderate control of stocking rates was an effective management measure to protect functional diversity, improve forage quality and sustain rangeland health.

 Key words

Functional group diversity, Grassland, Nutritive value, Stocking rate

Her Favorite Place In {Insert Town Name Here}

Back in September, Emma G’s art teacher picked her to participate in the National Community Planning Art Contest!  She is definitely our little artist, so I was excited to see her be a part of this creative outlet.  When they asked her to draw her favorite place in {insert town name here}, I wonder if they were surprised that she drew her house!  I’m happy that she calls home her favorite place, but somehow I’m thinking that’s not quite what they had in mind!  🙂  Whatever the case, we now have her artwork proudly displayed in our home with a certificate of appreciation for the great job she did!  So proud of my baby!

Installing Redmine for Windows Server in 10 minutes

1. Download version 1.8 of Ruby – the link is to the “all-in-one” installer for Windows. You need version 1.8, not 1.9 as Redmine only works on 1.8 right now.
2. Set up so Ruby’s “bin” folder is in your system or command prompt path. You should be able to type “ruby” at the command prompt and not get any “file not found” errors.
3. Create yourself some sort of “Ruby apps” folder and open a command prompt at that location, e.g. C:\Ruby\Apps or something
4. At the command prompt: “gem install rails“
5. At the command prompt: “gem install mongrel“
6. At the command prompt: “gem install rack -v=1.0.1“
7. At the command prompt: “gem sources -a“
8. At the command prompt: “gem install win32-service --platform mswin32“
9. At the command prompt: “gem install mongrel_service --platform i386-mswin32“
10. Download the latest stable version of Redmine and unzip into a subfolder of your Ruby apps dir (e.g. C:\Ruby\Apps\Redmine)
11. Configure the database.yml for Redmine to point to a database for your Redmine instance to use (I’ll leave that up to you)
12. If you’re using Redmine v0.8.7 or above, at the command prompt: “rake generate_session_store”
13. In the Redmine folder, at the command prompt: “rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production“
14. Test your Redmine installation is working, at the command prompt: “mongrel_rails start“, then hit http://localhost:[port]/ in your browser where [port] is the port Mongrel started with. Kill the server with Ctrl+C once you’ve verified Redmine is working.
15. Install Redmine as a Windows service, at the command prompt: “mongrel_rails service::install -N Redmine -c [your redmine folder] -p [portno] -e production“, replacing [your redmine folder] with the full path to the Redmine folder in the filesystem, and the [portno] being the port you’d like redmine to server on, e.g. 80 for standard http port 80.

Warning: With the latest version of MySQL, you may get several errors such as: "!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Ruby 2.2" and when you try to do "gem install mysql" you may also get many errors. Attempting to perform any rake commands subsequently fail. One possible solution:
Try to download the following DLL file from the InstantRails project:
Copy this file into your \Ruby\bin directory and try running your rake commands again.

Firefly Beach

Firefly Beach - Luanne Rice After listening and loving The Hobbit I picked up the Modern Scholar Series Rings, Swords and Monsters which is a series of lectures on fantasy literature by Michael Drout, a professor at Wheaton College. My original plan was just to listen to the one or 2 lectures about The Hobbit. I found that I could not put this down. If you are a fan of fantasy fiction, he covers many of the great authors of the genre - Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Ursula LeGuin, Terry Brooks, and more. His lectures were interspersed with background history, wonderful excerpts that he reads as well as the best audio narrator, and some great analysis. It was enjoyable and I learned so much. I would highly recommend this to fantasy fans.

The Wonderful O

The Wonderful O - James Thurber Clever short story about a villain seeking treasure in a kingdom. The villain lost his mother when she got stuck in a boat's porthole and since then, he has a hatred for the letter 'O'. He bans everything that contains the letter, so that music is limited to zithers, cymbals, and guitars since horns, violas an oboes are forbidden. Fun illustrations combined with Thurber's clever wit make this a quick shrt bk t read.

Into the Woods

Into the Woods - Lyn Gardner, Mini Grey Cute fairytale-with-a-twist story. A bit of the Pied Piper, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty mixed together, told with a Lemony Snicket style.

Dairy Queen

Dairy Queen - Catherine Gilbert Murdock, Natalie Moore This is a great coming of age book about a teenage girl growing up on a dairy farm. Perfect story for girls who are smart and tough and not afraid to show boys that they can compete with them on any level(Rachel - I-like-to-swim-in-ponds-filled-with-ice and Becky Long Arm - you know I'm talking about you).

A Crooked Kind of Perfect

A Crooked Kind of Perfect - Linda Urban, Taj Alexandra Ricci I chose this one to inspire my sone Michael to practice the piano. The book was great... but he is now playing the trumpet!

The Prestige

The Prestige - Christopher Priest, Simon Vance Very intriguing mystery. And the ending...Wow! Simon Vance does it again with a fabulous narration!

The Field: A story about the future

The Field: A Story about the Future - Lionel Goulet, Donni Richman I realized what a unique book this is when I tried to pick a genre category to file this book under. The Field has elements of sci-fi, mystery/suspense, philosophy, evolution, and even religion. The setting is the future and mankind has solved all the major problems in the world and life seems perfect. Where does man go next? This book was an easy fun read filled with plot twists, funny dialog, and a message that makes you contemplate what lies ahead.Nice job, Lionel!

Unaccustomed Earth

Unaccustomed earth - Jhumpa Lahiri, Sarita Choudhury, Ajay Naidu I have another book to add to my list of favorites. I just finished Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri. A collection of short stories about Bengali immigrants - this book will touch your heart. Lahiri does a wonderful job in her portrayal of a wide cast of complex characters. As an American with immigrant parents, I can completely relate to the stories about children worrying that they can't achieve their parents' high expectations. 'What?? No PhD? How can we face our neighbors?' The narration of this audiobook is performed by Sarita Choudhury and Ajay Naidu. They are absolutely perfect and made this audiobook a joy from begining to end. 5 stars!

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet: A Novel

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet: A Novel - Jamie Ford I would give this book 4 stars for the story and 2 stars for the narration. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is a poignant story that takes place in Seattle during WWII and deals with the very difficult issue of the internment of Japanese-American citizens. This would make a wonderful bookclub selection. It touches on racism, love, filial piety and forgiveness. I really enjoyed the story - especially made me wonder what my Chinese parents must have experienced when they came to the US right after the war. But, I had a hard time with the audio narration. Feodor Chin does a wonderful job with the Asian accents, but I found his cadence a little slow and drawn out, especially during very serious parts of the book. The audiobook has received good reviews though so maybe it was just me. Anyone else listened to this one?

A Spot of Bother

A Spot of Bother - Mark Haddon, Simon Vance Great narration by Simon Vance!

Gonzo Gizmos: Projects & Devices to Channel Your Inner Geek

Gonzo Gizmos: Projects & Devices to Channel Your Inner Geek - Simon Quellen Field I found this book on a list of best non-fiction books for children and young adults. What a fantastic book! If you have a child (or adult) that loves science, this book is a wonderful resource. Great science projects with very specific instructions and pictures are included and the best part, is the section 'Why does it do that?' which goes into the theory behind the experiments. My 10 year old son loves this book and reads it constantly. Can't wait to get the sequel...

The Pilgrims of Rayne (Pendragon)

The Pilgrims of Rayne - D.J. MacHale Great Young Adult Fantasy - but with an ending like that you just have to pick up the sequel...

Incredibly Clever...and Incredibly Annoying

Ulysses - James Joyce

If I had to use 2 words to describe James Joyce's Ulysses it would be clever and annoying.  Joyce is clearly a talented writer.  His mastery of words and characters puts him in the upper echelon of writers.  I don't know if he was bored with the every day task of sitting down and writing a good novel, but Ulysses seems like an odd conglameration of writing styles created with the intention of making it unreadable to all but the an elite group of English majors.  There is one episode which describes a woman who has been in labor for over 2 days.  That is painful enough to read about, but the episode is written comparing the gestation of a human fetus with the development of the English language.  Huh?  The chapter starts in Old English (think of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales) and then gradually develops into a more modern and readable form.  Was there a purpose to this?  Not sure, but it certainly made reading that chapter a challenge!  Another episode is written in the form of a catechism exercise.  There are a set of questions followed by answers.  So rather than hearing directly what happens in the story, we are gradually able to piece together the plot by hearing a set of questions and answers.

But, there were some chapters that were beautifully written (like Molly's soliloquoy!)  I can definitely understand the appeal that this book has over people who are absolute zealots about this book.  I did listen to the Teaching Company's course, Joyce's Ulysses by Professor Heffernan as I read this book.  The course is excellent!  It definitely gave me a perspective and background info that I would never have understood reading this book on my own.  Overall, I'm glad I finished it - not sure if I'll ever do something like this again though!  And not sure what to rate this book...  For overall readability or story telling, I would say 1 star at best.  But for sheer chutzpah or creativity, I might even say 5 stars.  Definitely unforgettable.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide, #1) - Stephen Fry, Douglas Adams After listening to some pretty serious books, I picked up this one looking for some good laughs and witty humor. No disappointments here! I really enjoyed Stephen Fry's narration. Known as the 'other' Harry Potter narrator, I have never listened to any of his books. This was extremely well done and a great match for Douglas Adams' bizarre wit. A perfect 42!

Love That Dog CD

Love That Dog - Sharon Creech, Scott Wolf I noticed that my son Michael was crying as he was reading a book. I immediately was worried. But, as I looked at the cover I saw it was by Sharon Creech, an author who will make you both laugh and cry ... even in the same chapter! Love That Dog is a sweet story told through poems about a boy named Jack, and his dislike of poetry. For everyone who groans when they hear "Whose woods these are I think I know...", then this book is for you. It's very short, but worth the listen.

Ulysses Moore #1: The Door to Time

The Door To Time - Pierdomenico Baccalario, Iacopo Bruno, Laura Zuccotti, Leah Janeczko, Beth Dunfey Good children's fantasy series. Well written w/ spunky characters.

Q: How much does it cost to build a custom home?

A: The cost varies depending on many factors like design, size, feature selections, etc. We can generally build a high-quality, high-end finished home for around $250 – $350 per square foot. However we’ve built homes for more and for less.

Q: How long does it take to complete the home?

A: We’ve been doing this a long time and will routinely complete a brand new, 3,500 – 4,000 square foot custom home in 9-11 months. Include a basement and it adds another 1-2 months to the project.

Main idea:
International Living space Station
Some 60 quite a few years ago the world was delved in to be able to the most significant conflicts that you can buy. Not necessarily so countless decades and then we were threw throughout to the particular ice cold showdown. Who possess considered which will before the particular end associated with the Final millennium, nations that had been unpleasant opposing team in the larger sized part of the millennium would definitely be a new component to alongside one another to develop some sort of area location?

To recognise the accurate value of this particular telescope, take into consideration the Hubble Super Robust Field instant the inside image connected with the galaxy ever used in noticeable light-weight, looking coming in document more in comparison with 15 billion dollars $ $ $ $ quite a few years. It is not easy in order to look from this kind of visualize rather than think a sense shock with the manufacturing success which will created it all likely.

2s v Leith (Nov21)

Reds 2s Continue with Winning Ways – More Fireworks One Week On!

Linlithgow 2s 62 – 0 Leith 2s

Friday 12 November 2021

Match report by Des Martin

This fixture was played on a Friday night under lights at Lower Mains Park. This was the first evening game since Covid and gave a great opportunity for players to still play a game and then attend the Scotland v South Africa match at Murrayfield on the Saturday. The team was stronger because of this arrangement, however we were sure that Leith would be in the same position.

There was a minute’s silence at the beginning of the game in respect of a number of supporters of the club who unfortunately had passed away over the last few weeks – Martin Archer a past player and youth coach, Danny Keevins a former Club Treasurer for many years and Hamish Ferguson a lifelong supporter. Our condolences go to all the families.

Minute’s Silence before kick-off

The game started well with Gregor McLean trying his best for the a 50:22 from nearly the first KO, unfortunately this was unsuccessful but the tone was set for a strong attacking and running game. From a dominant pack, including Neil Lockhart and Liam Park in the second row and with Pooch Tulloch and Andrew Archer in the back row the ball was released and given down the blind side where Lewis Wells released Cammy Walker for his first try, converted brilliantly from the touchline by Gregor Stewart  (7-0 to Reds).

The next phase saw a break down for a knock on but from a resultant scrum Cammy Murrie passed to Gregor McLean who slipped the ball to Lewis Wells who strode in through the Leith defence from 20 yards out (12-0 to the Reds). Then, from a great break in midfield, Pooch Tulloch off-loaded the ball to Lewis Wells who scored another try after a powerful hand-off (17-0 to the Reds).

Both packs contained a lot of experience

The front row of Colin Devlin, Adam Scott and Calum McKeown were being somewhat curtailed by the under 19 law which states that you are only allowed to push for a metre and half from any scrum, but they were dominant which meant a great platform for the Reds. From one such scrum, Gregor Stewart came in from full back and scored a nice try in the corner (22-0  to the Reds).

The next try allowed the young Ruaridh Stewart to unselfishly give the ball to his older brother Gregor who scored again (27-0 to the Reds). The younger Stewart came off with a sore shoulder and the backs were reshuffled with Rory McAdam coming on. Ally Walker, who had been a thorn in the Leith side all game, scored two tries after the pack dominated possession and control of most aspects of play to leave the score 41-0 at half-time.

Neil Lockhart was playing his first match for nearly 2 years, but it didn’t look it!

The team was changed considerably at half-time as the subs came on and Leith started to play with a greatly improved style built on a strong ‘pick and go’ approach. That they failed to score was down to heroic defending by the Reds 2s as they held out for a sustained period of pressure on their own goal line by the visitors. It looked like Leith must score, but then Lewis Wells took matters in his own hands where, after a sustained period of pressure by Leith, he burst out from near the Reds’ goal line and handed off a couple of Leith players to run almost 100 metres to score between the posts, a try which Gregor Stewart converted (48-0 to the Reds).

Leith came back again, but once more were held out by trenchant defending by the home team. Play then got a bit stuck in the midfield with both sides giving their all but getting nowhere, until a nice break from Lewis Wells set up Cammy Walker who finished a nice move by the backs to score, with Stewart again converting (55-0 to the Reds).

Cammy Walker then scored his third after a nice chip and chase created by himself, with Gregor Stewart again converting (62-0 to the Reds) and the Leith players at this stage were wishing that full time would come soon.

To their relief, the final whistle did come soon after, and both sides were able to head to the Clubhouse for a shower, food and refreshment! Thanks to Leith for travelling out on a Friday evening and also to the referee, Adam Evans, who officiated very fairly for both sides, resulting in an enjoyable game for all.

A great performance by the Reds 2s and especially the young Lewis Wells and Pooch Tulloch who both deserve mentions for different reasons – Lewis for his strong runs and try scoring and Pooch for his aggressive tackling, carries and dogged determination in every aspect of the game.

Intuitive Guidance (Psychic-Clarity)

Do you feel stuck? Confused? Bogged down? Are you wondering what step to take next? Is there a recurring problem or theme you just can't seem to shake free from?

I am dedicated to using my intuitive capabilities to help you with a wide range of life issues. Over the years I have conducted countless sessions with clients, including well-known business professionals, civil service workers, and government employees.

To the best of my ability, I will provide you with insight and clarity regarding current issues as well as upcoming events. I am honest, direct, and compassionate. My practical goal is to help you successfully manage your way through challenges and change so that you are prepared to achieve the best possible personal outcome.

Each session includes a brief preliminary discussion - while you get comfortable - regarding your current concerns, followed by the consultation. Sessions are designed to

promote your personal and spiritual growth, empowerment, and transformation, and to help you view and make sense of your life from a deeper perspective.

I'll explore key areas of your life through a variety of media including clairsentience, clairvoyance, psychometry, and practical intuitive guidance and extra-sensory perception.

I take this work seriously and I am here to help you, rather than wow, impress, or amaze you, and as such you will be asked to provide your areas/topics of interest, and key questions prior to our appointment. I will spend time alone, reflecting on your concerns, and gathering intuitive insight on your behalf before our appointment. Thus, I am working on your behalf even when we are not together.

During our time together, we will go over the information I have garnered and delve deeper into it. You are encouraged to ask questions along the way. If information outside your key areas arises, that information will also be provided to you during your appointment.

Because we live in the present, please be aware that questions relating to the future (i.e., foretelling) are typically not answered. Each one of us is responsible for the choices we individually make. The decisions we make and the actions we take today are excellent guideposts toward our future.

Sessions may potentially include some form of basic energy work or EFT.

10 Things You Must Prepare For When Traveling to Japan

Japan is a dream destination. The magnificent sites, the welcoming people, the amazing food! What’s there not to like? But with every country, one must come equipped with the knowledge to wade your way safely through its vibrant culture.

I’ve been to Japan quite a number of times. Well, I’m just lucky because my parents live here. And with my current digital nomad setup, I don’t need vacation leaves for me to visit them. So I get to go every quarter. (I thank the heavens for seat sales!)

Assuming you already have your Japanese Visa, if it’s your first time or if you just want to play it safe your next visit, here are 10 things you must prepare for when traveling to Japan according to Miko Around the World!

Get a Tourist SIM Card and Install Google Maps (!)

Get a Tourist SIM Card and Install Google Maps (!)

First of all, I highly suggest getting a tourist SIM card. The streets of Japan are challenging to navigate. In fact, street signs are almost non-existent. Finding an address is extremely hard. (Or at least I had a hard time).

How can you enjoy the sites when you are just one little-lost lamb trying to find your way?

Save yourself the anguish and just rely on the Internet. The Google Maps in Japan is spot on. I have used this to go to virtually anywhere accessible by train or bus. In my opinion, here are the best SIM cards.

Sim Card

Recommended SIM Cards

If you don’t need that much data, a 3 GB SIM card is enough. Try out this BIC SIM Japan Travel SIM (2,800 Yen + tax). The data is good enough for those who just want to occasionally browse the net and use our miracle navigation app.

You can buy this at any BIC Camera store. Or if you are landing in Narita Airport, the convenience store near the arrival gate to your left. (If I’m not mistaken, it’s the Blue Sky Store.)

But do take note that you have to activate your SIM card and you need Internet in the process. So don’t leave the airport until you’re done with it.

(Also, if you’re using an iPhone, you need to download something for it to work. Don’t forget to delete that downloaded file because it will render travel sim cards in other countries useless. My sim card in Taiwan didn’t work because of it and the person at the counter didn’t have any idea why. I deleted the installation, and it worked. So be wary.)

If you need more data, you can reload 1 GB with prepaid cards with the BIC Camera logo across all convenience stores. But do take this carefully because it’s priced at a whopping 1,500 Yen + Tax per GB. Yikes.

I suggest buying the Mobal Japan 10-GB SIM Card if you need more gigabytes. This is the cheapest option at just 5,990 Yen. What’s good is that you don’t need to configure anything. Just plug the SIM card and that’s it.

The let down is that there is no way to track your usage. So just use a data manager when you decide on this option.

Know Your Train Lines

Know Your Train Lines

If you masochistically want a headache, just look at the map of the Tokyo railway. It’s disgusting. It’s like the web of life intertwining every stop. So just stop. Don’t. Torture. Yourself.

The train companies in Japan are privatized. No single company (or government) owns all the lines. So try to familiarize yourself with train lines.

Narita Skyliner

If your landing in Narita, the first thing you need to know is your ride to Tokyo. Narita is roughly 45 kilometers from Tokyo. It’s one long ride.

Image Credit: Wikimedia.org

I suggest taking the Tokyo Skyliner. Better get it from websites like Klook to avoid any hassles. It will reserve your seats and will take you to Nippori or Ueno station where every station in Tokyo is accessible.

Also, if you want to ride the bullet train for the heck of it but can’t afford the high price tag, riding the Skyliner is almost the same feeling. It’s not as fast, but you don’t really feel anything while in transit. It’s quite the same. It’s just comfortable airplane-like seats on a fast train.

Local and Rapid Service Trains

The next thing to remember is the type of trains and the routes normal trains follow. Unlike in some countries (like the Philippines), multiple trains for different routes pass by the same platform.

For example, there are Local and Rapid Service Trains stopping at the same platform. Local trains stop at every station while the Rapid ones only stop on the most in-demand train stations in that route. So you have to be careful what you ride.

I told this advice to my friend when riding back to their home. But I accidentally rode the local train to mine. So what’s supposedly a 20-minute ride became 45 minutes. So much for giving advice. Can you give me a slow clap for that?

But it’s so hard to know!  Do you give up?

No. There is an easy way. I hope you bought a travel SIM card.

In Google maps, type your destination and the location. Choose the train option and now you see the exact time and platforms the trains will arrive at, the exact stations you need to transfer, and the exact fare you need to pay. You can even see if it’s a local or rapid train.

No second guessing. Just follow the guide completely. Google Maps is your friend.

Wear Comfortable Walking Shoes

Wear Comfortable Walking Shoes

This I highly suggest. Actually, if I can force you to do it, I would. Please wear comfortable walking shoes. I mean really really comfortable ones. Not the ones you think you are comfortable in but caused so many blisters on your feet.

In Japan, everyone walks. Fat, Thin, Rich, Poor, Young and Old. Everyone! If you can afford the staggering taxi fares (2000 Yen for roughly a 10 Minute ride or 30,000 Yen from Narita to Tokyo Station), go ahead. But if you don’t want to mindlessly burn your travel money in just taxi fares, better equip yourself with comfortable walking shoes.

I’m not even kidding. I have seen countless people, especially women, cursed the day they walked on those boots. You will really thank me for this.

Prepare for The Best Toilet Seats Ever

Prepare for The Best Toilet Seats Ever

Japan is esteemed for many things. And arguably the one where you can bask on your throne, pun intended, is their high-tech toilet seats. If you happen to visit the toilet after your long flight, don’t get intimidated. It’s easy to use.

Just push the sign that looks like water sprinkling your bum and end it with the stop button if done. Feel the cleanest possible way you can be.

These seats are of the future. Most of these seats have a warmer too!

Bring Your Manners

Image Credit: JapanTimes.Co

Bring Your Manners

I don’t mean to be racist, but the Japanese are the most polite people I have ever met. They seem really nice. When you talk to them, they sound so accommodating. The servers in restaurants are so jovial when they bring your food. It’s like they are serving royalty in just a normal Diner.

I tell you one story. One day, I bought some products online and got it delivered to our house. The delivery lady arrived and she was so happy to give me the package. And I’m not even exaggerating. It’s like she was thankful for her life that she brought me the package.

There was this other instance when we asked the policeman for directions, and he accompanied as to the exact place. That’s a 10-minute walk! Talk about service.

With this kind of people, PLEASE BRING YOUR MANNERS! Don’t act all Logan Paul throwing Pokeballs and raw Tako (octopus) to random people. Please! Just… Please!

Please be polite and thank them for their service. Thank you!

The Power of _Sumimasen__ Will Save You From Almost Every Communication Gap (Plus Some Charades)

The Power of “Sumimasen”: Will Save You From Almost Every Communication Gap (Plus Some Charades)

If you need to know just one word in their language, it will be “sumimasen”. Memorize it! Again: “sumimasen”. This means, “excuse me” and can also be used as “sorry”. This is the most useful word every tourist should know.

You want to ask something, tap someone and say “sumimasen” then show your translated question in your Google translate app.

You want to go to the toilet, ask, “sumimasen, toilet?” You accidentally bumped on someone, “sumimasen”. You’re going through a crowd, “sumimasen” as you waddle across the people.

I don’t know how to speak Japanese. I just use this word plus Google translate (and some charades). And I survived for all these years.

No Tipping

No Tipping

Well, as a relatively materialistic individual, I would be happy to get tips from my customers. I mean, who would say no to extra money, right?

In Japan, that’s a Big No No. It’s an insult for them to receive more than what’s required. I don’t know why. Maybe because of honor? But at least, you can be sure that you get the right change when you pay for your bill.

Keep Your Trash to Yourself

Image Credit: Pexels

Keep Your Trash to Yourself

I can’t help but wonder why Japan is so clean. There is no trash in sight. And the funny thing is, there are no trash cans in the area.

Is it their discipline? Is it their love for their country? I don’t know. But as a tourist, can you just keep your trash to yourself? The dirtiest I’ve seen is Shibuya where some random foreign family casually threw their Milk Tea Cups in the bushes.

I mean. Come on! If you can’t keep the trash to yourself, can you just eat it? Let’s not dirty their pristine city just because you are too itchy to manifest your unclean nature. *end rant*

Enjoy Tax-Free Goodies

Image Credit: Shigotonadeshiko.jp

Enjoy Tax-Free Goodies

It may not be common knowledge. But you can actually be exempted from consumption tax in Japan (currently at 8%). You just need to reach a total of 5,000 yen of spending to enjoy it. Some stores even allow you to accumulate the additional purchases after your initial 5,000 yen as long as it’s purchased within the day.

Although, you need to remember that they count consumables and non-consumables separately. So if you are buying let’s say 5000 yen worth of shampoo and 3000 yen worth of electronic, the 5000 yen worth of consumables are tax-free and the latter is not.

Also, you can’t use the consumables in Japan. It will be packed in a sealed plastic container. It’s an exemption for the Consumption tax. So you will be taxed if you consume it in the country.

Always Carry Cash

Image Credit: TokyoCheapo.com

Always Carry Cash

Lastly, it’s wise to carry cash all the time. Japan may be a technologically advanced country, but some establishments are as traditional as ever. Some “Ryokan” or Japanese traditional hotels only accept cash as payment. Some stores only accept cash.

If you’re going outside the city, some places like Noto or Kyoto sell their goods on cash-basis. Don’t feel helpless!

Go and stack up some moolah in your wallets. If you run out, ATMs are available in almost every convenience store.

Not everything is listed here. What are the things you must prepare for when you go to Japan? Let us know in the comments below! I hope you are more prepared on your Japan journey! Have Fun!

Is your non-mobile website hurting your business?

If you have a website that is not responsive or mobile-friendly, there’s a good chance your business is at least missing out on a lot of potential customers, if not suffering.

American internet usage from mobile devices surpassed that of traditional desktop/laptop devices in 2014 – the first time in history. That should come as no surprise, though, considering mobile internet use has been growing rapidly since the first iPhone hit the markets.

Regardless of how well you rank for valuable searches, studies have shown that if a potential customer visits your website from their smartphone and finds it frustrating to navigate with their phone, they will most likely leave your website and never return. And worse, they will probably seek out a competitor who does have a mobile-friendly website.

And you aren’t going to rank as well without such crucial functionality. Google penalizes the search ranking of websites that lack mobile compatibility, and has been doing this for some time now. The average end user does not like being unable to navigate a website with their smartphone, and Google takes that fact very seriously.

So there you have it: mobile-friendly websites drive more business than non mobile-friendly websites. Is your website mobile-friendly? If not, ask me how I can fix that for you!

I’m not sure exactly how much feel some body can really has actually during the twenty two, but don’t thought too much about it

We ask the buidlers within the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector for their ideas on the trade… and throw in a number of random zingers to maintain them on their toes!

This week, our 6 Questions go to Kim Hamilton Duffy, director of id and requirements at Centre Consortium — an open-source expertise mission designed to create a extra inclusive international economic system.

Kim is a frontrunner within the rising decentralized id discipline and has architected profitable open-source initiatives akin to Verite, Blockcerts and the Digital Credential Consortium toolkit.

1 — Which international locations are doing essentially the most to help blockchain, and which of them will probably be left behind?

Rather than assessing this by means of the slender lens of whether or not sure crypto transactions are taxed, I take into consideration whether or not international locations are supporting innovation in blockchain — and, extra broadly, decentralized architectures — in a collaborative, accountable, sustainable method that may profit people and companies.

A repeated theme: Regulatory readability is essential for people and companies to construct and innovate confidently. But this should be based mostly on nuanced, balanced approaches that pull in a spread of stakeholders — technologists, regulators and privateness consultants — and should be sufficiently future-proofed to accommodate rising expertise. Anti-patterns — that’s, examples of approaches which are uneven, overly restrictive or reactive — embrace banning particular implementations or varieties of mining.

2 — What is the primary hurdle in the best way of mass adoption of blockchain expertise?

It’s cut up amongst interoperability, usability and belief.

Fortunately, we’re transferring past the dialogue of which blockchain will “win,” understanding that completely different blockchain traits could also be greatest suited to completely different use instances. But this underscores the significance of interoperability — and for this, open requirements and protocols are key.

The different side is the necessity for improved usability and belief, that are interwoven. Despite the transparency enabled by blockchain-based applied sciences, the technical limitations to entry and overwhelming quantity of data to soak up make these advantages unrealizable to many. Determining methods to prioritize the person expertise to convey belief (as an analogy, you possibly can suppose of the “browser lock” icon signifying a safe connection) will probably be vital to success.

3 — Have you ever purchased a nonfungible token? What was it? And if not, what do you suppose will probably be your first?

Yes! The first NFT I minted/purchased was a Crypto Coven… after which I ended up minting and shopping for a number of extra. I fell in love with the aesthetics and thoughtfulness of the mission. It was clearly a labor of love — a lot care went into producing the design components, attributes and mythology that fashioned every particular person witch. Even the contract code was superbly written.

Also, its Discord is an extremely optimistic, supportive place, with some of the very best Web3/Ethereum technical discussions as nicely.

4 — What’s the unlikeliest-to-happen factor in your bucket checklist?

Being swarmed and tackled by a grumble of 100-plus pugs might be close to the highest. A extra modest purpose is getting a pie within the face, a la Seventies slapstick comedy. Yet in some way, this hasn’t occurred but.

5 — If you didn’t want sleep, what would you do with the additional time?

I’d spend further time writing. (*6*) id requirements and applied sciences are new, and it’s arduous for individuals to get entry to data by means of an goal, not business or vendor, lens. While the technical specs can be found, these are usually not accessible to broader audiences. More critically, these don’t present context and tribal information from the numerous years of deliberations that went into design selections.

The threat in rolling out transformative applied sciences understood by a choose few is that they can’t be tailored and refined with different consultants (privateness, regulatory, and so forth.) whose enter is important to adoption. I’ve spent quite a bit of time fascinated with the boundary between technical options and what’s required for real-world adoption, and I’d prefer to make extra time to write down about this.

On a extra private aspect, I’d spend at the least 4 hours a day practising the Bach Cello Suites.

6 — What’s the longer term of social media?

I really feel assured that we’re on a path towards extra decentralized underpinnings of social media networks, the place your knowledge, connections, repute and expertise are more and more beneath your management — not beneath the management of an organization that’s incentivized to deal with you because the product.

Christine Lemmer-Webber, a frontrunner in decentralized id (particularly integrating capability-based approaches), has additionally been a pioneer of decentralized social media efforts, together with Mastodon and ActivityPub. This work is continuous and thriving by means of efforts like BlueSky.

The problem, of course, will probably be figuring out sustainable fashions to help such networks. This introduces an thrilling alternative to develop new approaches that don’t depend on aggregating enormous knowledge silos — as a substitute, ones that respect privateness and knowledgeable consent.

rosewood and steel mirror frame

This is a custom frame we made with some exotic rosewood. as you can see the wood was too beautiful to square and miter like a traditional frame so we made a metal frame to the contour of the wood, we then used steel blocks in the corners,the steel was ground to the contour of the wood and then flame colored.  as you can see I think the steel corners pulled the irregular wood together.

Finally finished my wood stove and got it in the house. It is made from 1/4″ steel plate, the door is 1/2″, all moving parts were forged shaped and welded.  no nuts or bolts. It was a fun project, Heats the whole house, great to turn the thermostat offwood stove

Nowadays everyone seems to be into gaming, and the tech world is eager to please this…

Tad Vaas20 Mar 2020

Nowadays everyone seems to be into gaming, and the tech world is eager to please this ever-expanding escapism. There are many ways to dip your toes into new realities that the fictional gaming worlds have to offer. Play games on the go, which primarily would be on iOS or Android smartphone, or a full-blown PC gaming rigs. We also have everything that comes in between, such as gaming consoles, arcades and simulators. Of course all well known and ever so popular Virtual Reality gaming.

Virtual Reality Gaming is the Future of Gaming

The most popular gaming platform would be gaming consoles. At the time of writing this, there are the three most common industry giants leading humanity’s fascination with video gaming intoxication. The actual colours could be a bit too much for some, and fictional realities provide an easy way out. Many people take to gaming after a day of hardship. In this day an age, it seems that intoxicating yourself with what new age tech has to offer is much preferred as opposed to old-school ways of alcohol or drugs. However, we are yet to see the long term effects it has on our brain.

One of the well-known problems that we face with modern age gaming technology is reliability. It just breaks down once too often. It can be frustrating, especially if a slight addiction has developed and it suddenly your daily dose of it is withdrawn. Manufacturers are always under pressure to produce a more realistic and better-performing machines. There is a great need to immerse yourself in perfect worlds. And in the rush of things they do release half finished products. The idea is to iron out the kinks either via software updates or later iterations of the product.

Game consoles being the most popular gaming device gives the most grief when they break down. And they do break down a lot. The main reason for it usually is overheating. The video gaming console is just a cramped personal computer with similar components. And we all know that processors do work at high temperature. Heat and technology usually don’t go well together if the games console is left running hot for an extended period the components inside tend to get damaged.

Gaming console repair service is becoming a top-rated service. The demand is shaping the industry and what was considered a hobbyist business idea, now raises the curiosity of more prominent business names. The industry still lacks a professional manner, and a typical gamer has to do a bit of research to avoid disappointment.

While selecting the repair company, it always suggested looking into a few main things before using their services. Online presence, reviews, social media and website usability are the key factors and should always be the highest priorities. The legality of the business and the time since the company has been established also play a key role. Last but not least, would be how many months of warranty does repair company provide.

With a bit of research, anyone can get their game console repaired and get back into gaming. And it does not even have to take long! All fixes usually take around a few hours to complete anyway.

Stay in the know

  • Step Three - If you need to further narrow down your results, consider excluding certain keywords, such as those of nearby towns and schools.
  • Step Four - Add in a year range to further hone in on a specific ancestor. This doesn’t have to be exact.
  • Step Five - Take advantage of filters to order results by best match, oldest, and newest. This can help you cut through any close match entries that don’t match the men and women within your family tree.

Tips for a Successful Mackenzie's Gazette Archive Search

When dealing with common names, it can be difficult to find the right person amidst 330 years of U.S. history. Thankfully, there are multiple ways in which you can avoid adding people to your family tree who have no relation to you.

The problem lies within the way records were taken before modern recordkeeping standards were introduced. A newspaper editor likely recorded information from oral sources; therefore, they may have misspelled a name or made a blatant factual error.

Here are some more advanced tips for making sure you find the right ancestors via Mackenzie's Gazette historical data:

  • Search for a relative by their initials. It was common practice for people to be recorded officially by the initials of their first and middle names.
  • Female relatives were often recorded via their husband’s name. Rather than searching for a female ancestor’s name, try searching for their husband’s name instead.
  • Use common misspellings. One wrong initial could mean you miss that forgotten family member.

It can be time-consuming but incredibly exciting to come across family members you’d never heard of before.

The Mackenzie's Gazette archive can add some color to the names. Discover your story. Be amazed at what you find.

Type: Update
Category: LSC
Subject: LSC modulation frequencies adjusted
I noticed that the IFO did not lock in the MICH configuration.
This was because AS166Q signal was too small.
The demodulation phase seemed not right, i.e. the I-phase signal was larger than Q.
I suspected that the 166MHz modulation frequency was not exactly on the MC FSR, since I just
recovered the number written on the Marconi after the power failure.
I measured the optimal frequency by the method explained in elog:752.
It was 165981500Hz, which is pretty close to the number Rob measured in elog:952, but significantly different from
the label on the Marconi.
I set the frequencies of all the MARCONIs accordingly and updated the labels.

After this, the AS166 demodulation phase was still not good enough (the Q and I signals were about the same).
So I rotated the phase by 45deg. In principle, this should set the demod-phase right for DARM too. Is it correct, Rob ?
I also adjusted the PD offsets. After those adjustments, MICH locks stably with a slightly increased gain (20 as compared to 10 before).

San Peng Chicken Sliced Hor Fun

San Peng Chicken Sliced Hor Fun

Jalan San Peng Chicken Hor Fun 鸡丝河粉

This post is a disgrace to me as an Ipoh guy where our town is well-known & famous of our Chicken Sliced Rice Noodle (Kai Si Hor Fun). We have the best, smooth texture noodles and rich flavor soup due to our mountains-surrounding valley with high-quality water.

But yet, I still post this one here because, it is very sad to say, the noodles here is AS GOOD AS the one in Ipoh or even better!! (How they do it???)

I have tasted carefully the texture of the noodles, the soup, the taugeh (beans sprouts) are as fat and crunchy as the ones in Ipoh??!! MINDBLOWN!!! Improssibruuuuu!!!!

First let us look at the crowd on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm, crowded !!

After we got a table, we ordered the following:

Soy braised Chicken feet (yum yum…)

Quarter Steam Chicken (yum yum yum..)

Rojak (this one is different stall)

And this Taugeh (fat and crunchy…just like the ones in IPOH!!!) I cannot accept this!!

And the ultimate main character – Hor Fun soup!!!

All that we ordered here cost less than RM40 and is totally worth it !! If you have never been to Ipoh for the infamous Lou Wong Hor Fun, On Kee Hor Fun or Buntong Hor Fun, why the hassle..hahhaa..(personal opinion) This is so much satisfying and delicious and yummy and take my breath & money away!!!

Where is this you ask? Scroll down below for more information

Address : 46, Jalan San Peng, Pudu, 55200 Kuala Lumpur

Payout Plans for Online Casino Slots Machines to Play

Slot machine payout plans vary from one machine to another. It is reliably basic to be aware and appreciate slot machines payouts considering the way that they are not for each situation dependably relating. The best assortments occur on unique slots. These slots are set up to pay at a lower rate on smaller hits while the treasure trove is an authentic enormous stake. The treasure trove is a pool that fosters each time someone faces a challenge on one of the allocated machines. Slots are set up to encourage players to play more coins. It is clear to see the more coins one bets, the better the possibilities and the payouts are. Most machines license you to pick the assessment of the coin that you will play with. When the payout plan pays at a higher rate for extra coins, you are assuming everything falls into place playing more diminutive gatherings and most outrageous coins. This thought seems, by all accounts, to be essential, yet various enormous stakes have been lost by means of careless play.

In case a slot machine has been paying off reliably it should be free. A mega888 register slot machine that has not hit in some time is accepted normal. These are legends and ought to be seen in that limit. Remember that past display not a tiny smidgen influences future slot games. Slot machines are absolutely sporadic. They use an inconsistent number generator to pick champs. Each draw of a slot machine or game, is absolutely discrete than the past game. Karma is a greater element in slots than in table games. The method for slotting machines is that they are set up with different compensation rates and hit frequencies. Table game possibilities do not change much from betting club to betting club considering the way that the standards of these games are dependable.

If you will probably play similarly as may be attainable you ought to look at the lower winning picture blends. Pick a machine that offers the most awards for the lower and medium picture combos considering the way that these are the ones you will hit routinely which will keep you playing longer. Do whatever it takes not to play a slot machine basically in light of the fact that it has a high most limit payout. The chances of winning a tremendous treasure trove are minuscule. The opportunities to truly hit the top mix change in no occasion when the payout rate is higher. Machines that have changed payout schedules and high payout rates will be your most brilliant decision if you are looking for play for a long time without going through a huge load of money. Play slot machines that have pay rates as per your targets.
