Denny Fjeld

Peer-led Art Class Leads Minnesota Visitor to Rediscover his Passion

by Rocio Villalobos

It had been decades since he last picked up a paintbrush, but after taking an art class at Weslaco’s Snow to Sun RV Resort, Denny Fjeld was immediately reminded of his enjoyment of the craft. That one class he attended in 2016 led him to further explore the arts.

“I used to do it in high school many years ago, and I thought, ‘Well, I’d like to try it again,’” Denny said. “That’s kind of how it got started.”

Denny and his wife, Barb, come from Minnesota to spend six months in the RGV. Since he started painting again, Denny said he’s created about 30 prints--ranging from WWII planes to lighthouses to the Statue of Liberty to rivers and scenes from nature. One area Denny is aiming to improve is his flowers.

As for how he finds inspiration as to what to paint, Denny turns to Pinterest.

“I look at pictures on there, and if I see something I like, I save it and download it to my photographs,” he said. “Also, I’ve become more aware of art in my surroundings. If we’re at a restaurant, I’ll see a painting I like and get up to take a picture.”

On their way to South Texas, the couple stopped at the Grand Canyon and took plenty of pictures, so Denny said that’s a painting he’d like to create.

Denny credits his neighbors and fellow painters at Snow to Sun for helping him advance his artistic skills.

“We don’t have an art instructor. Everyone just helps each other and gives you ideas,” he said. “They’ve shown me techniques, such as how to blend colors.”

It was a friend he made at the class who introduced him to a McAllen art studio that teaches woodcarving and wood burning. But his main form of creating is with acrylic paints.

To Denny, spending time working on art is relaxing. He listens to music to “get in the zone” and said once he starts, the time just flies.

“It’ll be one o’clock and she’ll (Barb) say, ‘I’m going to the pool’ and I might have started painting, and I’ll say, ‘I’ll come in a little bit’ and I put my headphones on,” Denny said. “Pretty soon, she’s coming home, and it’s 4:30, 5:00 and it’s like, ‘Whoa! Where did the time go?’”

He and Barb also enjoy visiting local art galleries. They said even the art they’ve seen from elementary school and high-school students in the RGV blows them away.

As the Fjelds do not have the space to hang all of Denny’s paintings in their unit, they’ll give some away to friends or to a cause. At a recent silent auction in the park raising money for Mexican refugees, one of his paintings sold to a dentist in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico.

And the Fjeld’s efforts to help the RGV community don’t end there. The pair volunteers with Weslaco’s First Baptist Church’s monthly food distribution--with Border Mission’s weekly service of feeding about 400 people a week--and have sponsored a child in Nuevo Progreso through a nonprofit agency.

“When I volunteer, I always feel like I get back a lot more than I give,” Barb said. “Plus, everyone there enjoys what they’re doing, and you get to meet so many people you would never meet under other circumstances.”

Denny expresses the same sentiment, adding: “It’s a positive thing. There’s so much negativity out there that it’s nice to be able to do something to help.”

A £15M INVESTMENT into a self-catering resort in Laugharne has been announced by its owners.

Luxury Lodges - which rebranded from Seasons last year - has announced it is to expand the development from 77 to 125 lodges, creating up to 110 jobs.

Planning permission for the expansion, to include a new £5m glass-fronted clubhouse, was granted by Carmarthenshire County Council last year.

A spokeswoman for the company said that the development will "combine the most efficient, sustainable and ecologically-sensitive methods of building and technology.

"The brand is working closely with local planning authorities to ensure the conservation of the surrounding historic environment, and envisages a positive impact on local businesses."

The development will include an infinity swimming pool, outside hydrotherapy pool, a panoramic sauna and an elevated restaurant and bar.

It is planned that the state-of-the-art clubhouse will be unveiled in late spring 2019.

Laugharne will join Luxury Lodges' portfolio of self-catering resorts, which includes Clowance and Burn in Cornwall, Whitebarrow in the Lake District and Brunston in Ayrshire Scotland.

Managing director of Luxury Lodges, Ross Grieve, said: "Laugharne is a really important and loved part of the portfolio, which is why we are investing so heavily in updating its facilities.

"We are excited to grow the team and work more closely with the local community as this project develops, and we look forward to unveiling the clubhouse in Spring 2019."

Inform, Learn, Vote: Kids Voting- Guilford County

Inform, Learn, Vote: Kids Voting- Guilford County

4:32pm Aug 01, 2013
Radio Camper Elijah Walker intently works on his story.

Diane Lowe is the Executive Director of Kids Voting-Guilford County. Lowe believes in a strong education for kids of all ages. But as WFDD Radio Camper Elijah Walker recently discovered, her class offerings extend far beyond reading, writing and arithmetic.

I met Diane Lowe at the Cultural Arts Center lobby in downtown Greensboro. She looked very professional in a blue formal shirt and black pants. She seemed anxious to begin the interview and her enthusiasm for what she does was clear from the moment we began talking.

I think it’s really important that we all are responsible citizens, and part of that is participating in our democracy...understanding what's going on in our community, what’s going on in our world, understanding the issues, where the candidates stand on the issues, so that you can elect someone that you feel will represents your interests.

Diane believes that the more education children receive, the better citizens they’ll be when they become adults.

Kids Voting is a civic education program. It is for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. So we serve all students in public schools, private schools, home school, charter schools. The idea is to teach kids from a young age about our democracy, how government works, understand how they can become involved in our government, teach kids how to research candidates, to research issues.

Diane is gearing up for the school year starting August 26th.

For WFDD Radio Camp, I’m Elijah Walker.

Women?s Rights are universal but do Western Feminists’ actions match their words?

Western feminists say that women’s rights are universal but their actions indicate that they are only interested in Muslim women’s rights if they live in a Western country and even then they are very selective about which rights they are prepared to speak up about. They become outraged when Muslim women are told to dress like French women in France but have no interest in Muslim women being forced to dress like Fundamentalist Muslims in Iran.

Even worse than this disinterest in the plight of Muslim women overseas is the sad fact that many feminists will turn on anyone who does have the courage to make a stand on these issues. Western feminist?Nazi Paikidze?made a stand for the Muslim women of Iran and was smeared as an anti-Muslim bigot by her fellow feminists.

At a conference for?Women in Secularism?

Maryam Namazie outlined the absolutely?heart-wrenching situation for women in Iran?a situation that gets zero traction from the same media outlets that flooded our news feeds with condemnation of the Burkini Ban.? Why are we so outraged when women are told what to wear in France, but we ignore the same situation in Saudi, Iran, Somalia, Afghanistan, etc? Why are the women in France more valuable than the women in MENA? Where is the outrage? Where are our allies?

We will fight for your freedom to wear what you want?but not if you?re in the Muslim world

As if the universe had heard our pleas, a few days later we met?Nazi Paikidze. She is the US Chess Grandmaster who refused to wear the hijab when competing in Iran. A Western feminist was finally standing up for the forgotten and ignored women in the Muslim world. She exhibited, what?Asra Nomani?calls, ?moral courage?, pushing back in the face of an oppressive system and saying NO. She certainly didn?t need to. She could have easily thrown on a scarf, whatever? she could just throw it off a few days later.? But she chose to support the plight of women who cannot just throw it off.?

And what did she get for it? Condemnation. She was smeared as an anti-Muslim bigot, told to mind her own business, told to respect other people?s culture?the ludicrous onslaught of criticism continued.

Even prominent feminists in the Muslim world, like Mona Eltahawy, would prefer that?non-Muslim women ?shut up? about the issue.

…Did white people in America shut up about Civil Rights? How about the ending of apartheid in South Africa? Did that happen because non-Black, non-South Africans decided to ?shut up?? How about feminism in the West? Was that achieved because the men all agreed to shut up?

Asking your allies, who are in a position to help support your cause, to ‘shut up’ has to be the most nonsensical, counterproductive assertion ever.

Not all of us are this divisive though, many women see us all as sisters, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. Western feminist allies, please, do not be bullied into ‘shutting up’ because of a few narrow-minded comments. Identity Politics will only divide us, and divided we fall.

Let us all unite: men, women, western, eastern, I don?t care who you are.? I don?t care what your skin colour is or what your ethnicity is. If we agree on the same humanist values of equality, fairness, justice, respect, and rights for *all* women across the planet, then take my hand. Join me and the millions like me who are thankful for your support.

In the triage of Women?s issues: being assaulted, fined, and imprisoned for not adhering to a dress code mandated by your government is paramount. Tweet your support of #MyStealthyFreedom, #NoHijabDay, and #StopEnslavingSaudiWomen.

As Maryam Namazie said in the conference:?Women?s Rights are universal.

If you do not agree with that statement, that?s your prerogative. Don?t support us. But, please just get out of our way. Do not hinder our progress by silencing us or by bullying our allies into retreating from supporting us.

Verjeigh shares her experience as an Amazon recruiter and a member of the Black Employee Network

Home    Amazon    Insight

Interview with Amazon recruiter Verjeigh McMillon

Interview with Amazon recruiter Verjeigh McMillon

Meet an Amazon recruiter who shares her experience as part of the Amazon Black Employee Network.

What is your role at Amazon?

I'm a Technical Sourcing Recruiter for the Customer Relationships team. The team develops new customer experiences on based on the relationships between account holders - like households, and families who want to manage access to content and buying privileges for kids. I'm a newcomer to Amazon, I relocated with my family 8 months ago.

What is your favorite part of working at Amazon?

Two things come to mind: opportunity and ownership. I have been encouraged to be ambitious and to innovate in my space. I have been able to launch new initiatives –such as an upcoming recruitment event in partnership with our Black Employees Network (BEN) – in days, that would have taken years in other organizations. With preparation and a good business case, the sky is the limit with Amazon.

What kind of positions do you recruit for and what kinds of skills or qualities do you look for?

I recruit for both tech and non-tech roles. From UX designers, data engineers, software development engineers, marketing, program and product managers, we’re hiring for them all. Customer relationships is a growing new initiative team and is part of our e-commerce team. We are true innovators and are enhancing the customer experience across, membership areas (Prime, Amazon Library, Amazon Households) and devices. At the core of our team are individuals who thrive in ambiguity and are willing to explore new territory. So, job-seekers that match that profile are great for our team. The customer-obsessed also have a special place in our hearts.

You are a part of Amazon’s Black Employee Network. Tell us about the organization and your involvement.

I have a passion to increase opportunity for underrepresented populations and joined the Black Employee Network to make an impact. Recently, I was voted in as Technical Recruitment Chair for BEN at Amazon. The Black Employee Network provides support for underrepresented minorities at Amazon through building community, and it champions diversity throughout the company. The group was established in 2005 and was one of Amazon’s first affinity groups. Although BEN was created to provide support for black employees at Amazon, it’s not an exclusive organization. We welcome membership and participation from those outside the black community. We have committees that support recruitment, retention, professional development, community service, social activities, and minority business. We host a variety of events including community outreach, recruiting events, happy hours, and tech talks.

Our process is fairly straightforward. Once a candidate submits their resume/application we will review and invite well-aligned candidates to complete an online technical assessment. Candidates who complete a successful assessment will be able to speak with a team member and then be invited to visit us on-site for a full-day interview where candidates will meet team members, discuss their background, and code (in their language of choice). We make hiring decisions shortly after the event.

2018 Lotus Evora GT430 performance review

By Scott Newman | Photos: Alastair Brook, 05 Nov 2018 Reviews

2018 Lotus Evora GT430 review

Stripped out and dripping with carbon, the Evora GT430 is the ultimate lotus road racer

It’s been following me for some time, but with a steep rock wall now hugging the side of the road it feels closer than ever. Only when I lower the window, however, does the shocking intensity of the noise emitted by the Lotus Evora GT430 really hit home.

There isn’t a lot of sound deadening in a GT430, but there’s enough to muffle the lightweight titanium exhaust. It’s like standing outside a stadium listening to the concert within – you sense there’s greater enjoyment to be had, if only you could get closer to the action.

Cue that window switch. The GT430 is almost certainly the loudest road car I’ve driven. Ricocheting off those rock walls, the sound in the cabin is so thick and all-enveloping you’d swear you could reach out and grasp it in your hand.

It’s probably not what Lotus was aiming for, but it reminds me of a race-spec Torana GTR XU-1. The Evora is smoother and not as gravelly in note, but has a similarly raucous six-cylinder rasp.

It’s been quite a Cinderella story for the 2GR-FE 3.5-litre V6. Initially found powering the Toyota Aurion, Lotus adapted the basic 206kW/350Nm unit to the Evora’s mid-engine, rear-drive layout and then added supercharging for the 257kW/400Nm Evora S.

MOTOR market watch: Evora

Since those early days Lotus has kept fiddling, a revised supercharger and water-to-air intercooler lifting outputs to 298kW/410Nm. This ultimate GT430 enjoys a further 33kW/30Nm (40Nm in automatic guise) thanks to recalibrated ignition, fuel and camshaft mapping.

If you weren’t aware, you’d never guess the engine’s ordinary origins from behind the wheel. Supercharged engines are great. The linear nature of the power delivery makes it deceptively quick. A short stab of throttle instantly adds 15-20km/h and you’re often accelerating quicker than expected. It pulls cleanly from low revs, yet power builds right to the 7000rpm cutout.

Another reason to chase the redline is the bi-modal exhaust valves only open above 4500rpm; it’d be great if they were open permanently, but I suspect the ADR microphone would melt.

Lotus claims this upgraded powerplant makes the Evora GT430 its quickest road car ever. The wingless Sport variant manages an impressive 316km/h, but even with wing and splitter fitted it’s capable of 306km/h, while Lotus claims 0-100km/h takes just 3.8sec, or 3.7sec as an automatic. Lotus is either very optimistic, or it has some incredible test drivers.

Perhaps there is some magic trick we’re not aware of, but launching the Evora in the traditional rear-drive manner – not too many revs and a hint of wheelslip – yields bests of 4.59sec to 100km/h and 0-400m in 12.64sec at 182.96km/h.

There’s always another tenth or so to be found, but the figures feel about right. The Evora GT430 is plenty quick, but doesn’t have the punch usually associated with sub-4.0sec machines. Adding further challenge to the task is a gearbox that really doesn’t like to be rushed.

Early Evoras used the manual from a Corolla diesel; it was the only ’box capable of linking to the engine and handling the torque. As with the engine, Lotus has done an enormous amount of improvement since then, but a degree of patience is still required to complete clean shifts. It’s no chore to drive in traffic, but on the continual twists and turns of the epic Mansfield-Whitfield Road, I end up leaving it in third and using the engine’s torque.

As you’d hope, the Evora comes alive in the bends. The GT430 benefits from lessons learned by racing the Evora GT4, most notably in its use of aerodynamics and 96kg weight loss over the standard Evora 400.

MOTOR review: Evora 400

The reshaped edges of the front guards, which also have GT3 RS-style vents carved in the top, exit ports behind the rear wheels and that massive wing combine to create 250kg of downforce at top speed.

Everywhere you look there’s carbon fibre, the roof, front splitter, rear wing, engine cover, front air ducts, rear aero ducts, seats, side sills and monster rear diffuser all making use of the sexy black weave. The titanium exhaust sheds 10kg, the Ohlins two-way adjustable dampers save another 13kg and our test car doesn’t even have a stereo.

Those trick dampers have 20 clicks of compression and rebound adjustment to make the most of the grip offered by Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres measuring 245/35 R19 front and 295/30 R20 rear.

With so much rubber and so little weight, the GT430’s lateral adhesion is absurd; it’ll double corner speed advisory signs without breaking a sweat, in some cases triple them. There’s so much grip that the limiting factor becomes your hold on the steering wheel; relax your arms and you realise that what you think is the limit is actually the tension in your muscles.

Barrelling in with overt enthusiasm will eventually instigate understeer, but in most corners the GT430 allows you to clear the brake, turn in and almost immediately get back hard on the throttle. With temperature in the tyres traction is not an issue, though the softness of the brake pedal occasionally is.

The pedal setup is such that heel-toe downshifts under heavy braking require some ankle contortions. A firmer brake pedal – surely appropriate in something this focused? – would improve confidence.

What’s truly impressive about the GT430, though, is that its cornering prowess doesn’t come with a teeth-chattering, skateboard ride, at least not with the dampers set to Lotus’s recommended road settings. Spring rates are increased massively over even the Evora 410 (47 per cent front, 20 per cent rear) but it’s no less comfortable than some hot hatches and never, ever relinquishes its body control.

There’s no crashing – in fact, the complete absence of any squeaks or rattles suggests Lotus’s recent focus on build quality hasn’t been in vain. There are some very cheap plastics inside, but enough carbon, leather and Alcantara to make the cabin feel special.

Although somewhere to put a phone, wallet, keys, a drink (anything!) would be nice. Conversely, storage space is relatively generous, the rear seats replaced by a flat bench in addition to the boot located behind the engine.

There’s certainly enough room for a helmet and an overnight bag, vital equipment for a trip to Winton. The Evora GT430 works better on the road that you’d imagine, but if it’s to justify its enormous $259,990 ($275,867 as-tested) price tag – a $50K premium over the 410 Sport – it’s going to want to shine on track. At this price point it’s perilously close to serious machinery like the Porsche 911 GT3 and Nissan GT-R Nismo.

That the GT430 is the fastest production Lotus around the company’s Hethel test track (essentially Fiorano with tea and scones instead of coffee and pasta) bodes well. Unfortunately, we couldn’t rope a pro driver in to set a lap time, but if I can manage a 1min33.5sec circuit of Winton in just five laps (none of them particularly clean) it seems likely there’s a couple of seconds to be found by more capable hands.

Track work exacerbates the Evora’s on-road attributes, good and bad. Its grip remains stupendous; as you’d hope, its average apex speed would have topped the list at our recent Bang For Your Bucks test, but to out-corner a Civic Type R is no mean feat.

Its 83.16km/h average would be higher, but the understeer that only appeared occasionally on the road becomes persistent on track. It’s mild and no doubt easily dialled out via the dampers, but delays how quickly the throttle can be re-applied in almost every corner.

Drive to the available front grip and there’s the feeling that there is time to be gained if you could get on the gas earlier. There’s certainly sense in providing an understeer bias for this road setup, but on the track more front bite would pay dividends in enjoyment and lap time.

At the limit Lotus’s race-spec six-stage traction control comes into its own. To be honest, the ESP calibration in Race mode is so good, so lenient and unobtrusive in its intervention, that in the dry there’s no need to turn ESP off.

Nonetheless, from there Lotus gives you the option to gradually reduce the traction control intervention and allow greater levels of wheelslip, from 1 per cent to a maximum of 12 per cent, with the sixth stage being completely off.

Be sure of yourself before taking that last step. The Evora has an immense amount of grip, but when it runs out immediate action is required; the first attempt at a cheeky low-speed slide results in a 360-degree spin before you could say “opposite lock”. The GT430 can certainly hold a mean powerslide, but needs serious provocation to do so – it would rather just keep setting lap times.

Suspension setup aside, the greatest barrier to lowering lap times is the gearbox. Just as on the road, the ’box wants to operate at its own pace and a number of laps end early after a mis-shift. Precious tenths disappear on upshifts and the GT430’s super-short braking distances make the quick downchanges required a lottery. It’s enough of an annoyance to make the optional six-speed automatic well worth considering.

If you are considering an Evora GT430, then you’d better be quick. Lotus is making just 60 each of it and the Sport and just four of the winged warriors are coming to Oz. Three are already sold. At which point objective assessment becomes slightly irrelevant.

It’s all too easy to say it’s not as good as a 911 GT3, but I suspect for those three buyers the fact the Evora is not a GT3 was a very good reason to purchase one. The GT430 looks awesome, sounds incredible, is great to drive, extremely rare and refreshingly different.

Nonetheless, if you’re a track junkie your needs might be better met by the lighter, quicker, sharper Exige Cup 430. If road use with the occasional track foray is more your thing, the Evora GT410 Sport offers most of the performance and, crucially, all of the noise of the GT430 with a few more creature comforts.

Then again, if you’re a Lotus fan with a carbon fetish who places a premium on exclusivity, there is literally only one car for you. Act fast.

The Perch has a shelter and four tent platforms.
Last time I was there was August of 2002 and they were just starting to re-do the tent plaforms...there was one completed.
GREAT TASTING WATER. The Perch can fill up quickly and there is no overflow area. Due to the terrain it can be difficult to find a spot to camp unless you have a hammock.

You might also want to consider Gray Knob or Crag Camp...both enclosed buildings that are run under a caretaker basis...see link below:

07-26-2003, 21:14
I recently hiked the 0.9 mile from The Perch to the A.T. in the Northern Presidentals and it took me about 30 minutes. Its still farther away from the trail than most AT shelters but closer than I thought and not out of the question. Too bad it can be so busy. Here is a picture of the shelter.

05-09-2011, 13:28
The elevation change from the AT intersection down to the Perch looks to be about 1,000 feet. Is that right? How's the terrain?

02-15-2015, 21:24
I stayed at The Perch the night of 10-11 Nov 2014. The shelter and the privy were both in excellent condition. The tent platforms nearby were also in good shape.

No one else was there that night. I left my dollars in the envelope since the caretaker never came by.

A hammocker could probably find a place to hang nearby, but finding a place to pitch a tent would be pretty tough if the tent platforms were in use. The trees and rocks are just too thick and the slope too steep for a tent in that area. Besides, camping close to the shelter is prohibited, except right at the shelter/platforms. There are signs on the trail telling when you're far enough away to be legal again.

The water source is nearby and is very good.

Here are some pictures. The front:

View of the privy past the shelter:

Side view:

Back view:

As others have noted, the shelter is about 0.9 mile from the AT. Part of that side trail is over loose boulders with good leg-breaker holes between them. On the other hand, the trail isn't too steep by White Mountains standards. If the weather turns dangerous while out on the AT in Edmands Col, trying to reach The Perch may be the best of the bad options you have available in that area.

The Perch (and the other Randolph Mountain Club camps) is definitely worth considering as a place to stay if the Madison Springs Hut is full, or closed for the season, too expensive, or you just want someplace quieter to stay.

02-15-2015, 21:46
I stayed in The Perch on my first section hike of the Whites - SOBO from Pinkham Notch to Franconia in 1982. Yeah, that's ancient history. I wanted to avoid the fees at Madison. I liked the shelter but since I hiked in early July, the black flies were horrendous. Otherwise, it was a good place to stay, less than a mile side trail.

02-15-2015, 23:13
The Perch has some of the best water your likely to find anywhere. It's all dense spruce forest up there, hammocking isn't real practical. You'd have to drop another 1000 feet to get into the more open hardwoods.

But it's a great place and fantastic sunsets from the near-by Gray Knob trail which gives you a clear view to the west. On Saturdays in the summer, you'd best get there early...

SPS IPC Drives Italia

28 mei 2019 - 30 mei 2019

Now in its ninth year, SPS IPC Drives Italia keeps riding the crest of the digital revolution in industry with its dedication to the cutting-edge automation technology, robotics, and mechatronics that are feeding the rise of smart factories and Industry 4.0.

After the great success of last autumn’s show in Nuremberg, Germany, Wibu-Systems is returning to Parma with its own exhibition space at booth A002 in hall 7.

Wibu-Systems Powering Industry Automation and the Digital Revolution

As the technology leader for license lifecycle management of 30 years’ standing, Wibu-Systems has developed a complete ecosystem of hardware, software, and cloud-based solutions. With multi-platform support and full interoperability of its secure elements, Wibu-Systems’ technology protects the integrity of digital assets, technical know-how, and other intellectual property from piracy, reverse engineering, tampering, and cyber-attacks. CodeMeter, the flagship technology of Wibu-Systems, encrypts and protects software, firmware, and sensitive data with highly sophisticated methods and algorithms.

The digital transformation has created a mindset shift among mechanical engineers, moving away from the highly specialized machines of yesterday to software enabled customizations of today. With features and functions governed by software, the capabilities of machines can be activated or adjusted at the press of a button. The relationship between producer and client is changing with this new freedom, and CodeMeter is the right tool to create the perfect relationship with the modular and scalable business models it allows for any need in the market.

CodeMeter supports traditional PC systems, mobile and embedded devices, PLCs, and microcontrollers. It integrates effortlessly with existing back-office processes and ERP, CRM, and e-commerce platforms – another of its essential qualities when it comes to boosting business performance and reducing the cost of logistics.

What’s New for Wibu-Systems at SPS IPC Drives Italia 2019

  • CodeMeter Certificate Vault: The newest member of the CodeMeter family functions as a token provider that is fully compliant with PKCS#11, integrates as a KSP (Key Storage Provider) for the Microsoft Cryptographic Next Generation (CNG) API, and works with the OpenSSL API to store and use e.g. the private keys of Transport Layer Security (TLS). CodeMeter License Central, the database-driven platform for creating and managing licenses via the cloud, creates the key pairs and certificates and sends them to the user as a WibuCmRaU file, encrypted with the client CmContainer’s public key and therefore usable by the right client. This novel approach turns the creation and assignment of certificates into a simple push operation, making it the perfect choice for remote devices in the industrial field, for IoT systems, or simply for encrypted emails or secure client VPNs in industry. Any third-party application can access the CodeMeter-protected keys and certificates in line with the PKI standards, with the necessary cryptographic operations happening in the local device. The certificate creation process can also be used via SOAP with existing Certificate Authority (CA) solutions.
  • IP protection for Siemens TIA Portal® (Totally Integrated Automation Portal): Engineers using the architecture can assign specific roles to their teams, protect the IP of their projects, and control access to invaluable resources with a solution built around a hardware secure element (CmDongle). CodeMeter License Central works as the interface between CodeMeter Keyring Password Manager, the user, rights, and password management module, and CodeMeter Keyring for TIA Portal Password Provider, the link between the CodeMeter technology and the TIA Portal.
  • Combining Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) like Trusted Platform Modules and Intel’s SGX technology with CodeMeter: By linking CodeMeter with Intel SGX’s native memory enclaves, originally intended to keep binary code in encrypted form in the RAM, software developers can not only avail themselves of the hidden RAM enclaves to keep their sensitive data, but also use a special extension of that enclave. The secure memory area on their devices prevents debugging and other code tampering in memory and provides another tough shield to protect the memory itself.

Meet Wibu-Systems’ Experts at SPS IPC Drives Italia

The place to be this year is our booth A002, hall 7, where you can link up with some of our leading specialists and explore where the industry is heading, what the future holds, and what Wibu-Systems and you can achieve for your business.

Our experts are also offering a workshop on “Secure Digital Key Storage and Key Enrollment in Industrial Environments”. Cryptographic keys and digital certificates are essential to securely identify machines and devices and to protect M2M communication, but the complex processes needed until now to manage and store them have made them less popular than they ought to be in the field. CodeMeter generates and stores keys securely on computers and PLCs with a fully scalable approach that can go from a simple and resource-friendly software solution to a more sophisticated setup using hardware secure elements. With CodeMeter, the necessary keys and certificates are assigned from one central server, with a user-friendly registration process designed to work seamlessly with your rights and entitlement management.

Prepare Ahead for a Productive Visit

Many of the exhibitors on show have already opted for CodeMeter because of the sheer versatility of the technology, the scalability of the solution, its long-term availability, and the unrivalled ease of use. Be it a retrofit or a completely redesigned architecture: any project should aim for security by default and monetization by design. Download the publication “Security 4.0 By Default – Growth 4.0 By Design” to discover who has already partnered up with Wibu-Systems.

How to Get Your Local Congressman to Know You

Co-authored by wikiHow Staff

Updated: March 29, 2019

Getting to know your congressman can help you feel you have a say in your government. If you are consistently politically involved, you can develop a relationship with local politicians. Develop your presence in local politics by volunteering and donating to political campaigns. Meet with your congressman in person at events and town hall meetings. Make sure to interact in a professional, grateful manner. This will help your congressman remember you.

Method 1 of 3:
Developing Your Presence

  1. 1
    Join political organizations in your area. If you want your congressman to know you, you need to make your name politically. People from Congress pay attention to those who are politically active, as they're seeking out likeminded people to help them gain favor in the community. If you want to make an impact, increase your current involvement in politics. If you are already part of an organization, for example, take on a leadership position or plan an event. This could get your congressman's attention.[1]
    • If you're not already part of a political organization, look for advocacy groups in your area that interest you. If you're interested in immigration reform, for example, you could join an immigration advocacy group.
    • You could also start your own group or lead your own initiative within the community or an existing group. Look to your Facebook and other social networks to find likeminded people who share your political views. Consider getting together with them to do something like start a petition or stage a protest. This could potentially get the attention of a member of Congress.
  2. 2
    Develop your relationship with their staff. Congressmen and women all have staff members. Usually, you cannot contact someone in Congress directly, but you can get through to staff on occasion. Having a solid relationship with a congressman's staff can help you eventually meet the congressman himself. You can also work on doing things like inviting staff to events or greeting staff members if you see them somewhere like a county fair or political rally.[2]
    • Introduce yourself to staff whenever possible. If a member of your congressman's staff is at an event, go up and talk to them. Say something like, "I'm part of the local Republican party here and I just wanted to introduce myself." If you have any messages to pass along to your congressman, politely request that staff members do so.
    • Never treat the staff as unimportant or lower than your congressman. It is their job to act as a filter for your congressman, figuring out should be brought to his attention. If you are polite and make a good impression on staff members, your congressman may come to know your name.
  3. 3
    Donate to a campaign. If you have any disposable income, consider making a donation to your congressman's campaign. Congressmen often meet with big donors, or at least send thank-you letters. A sizable donation may help your congressman come to know you.[3]
    • Your congressman may also host events where donations are taken. For example, congressmen may sometimes have dinners where you donate a set amount for a plate. This could be a great way to meet with your congressman in person while making a donation.
    • If you don't have the money for a big donation, even a small donation with other efforts may get your congressmen's attention.
  4. 4
    Call your representatives. If something is concerning you as a voter, try calling your congressman. Call them at their state or district office if you have something you wish to bring to their attention. You're unlikely to get through directly to your congressmen, but if you consistently call to make your voice known in a respectful fashion, your congressmen may eventually come to know you.[4]
    • You can find contact information for your elected officials on the US government's website. You can enter information like your city, state, and zip code to get the proper phone numbers.[5]
  5. 5
    Write letters. Handwritten or typed letters are actually more effective than e-mails if you want to get your congressman's attention. A written out letter that you send to your congressmen's office shows you took initiative. If you want to get your congressmen to know you, write them a letter with any concerns you have about current events.[6]
    • Remember to be respectful in the letter. Choose your words wisely and express yourself in a calm fashion, even if you disagree. Comb the letter carefully for typos afterwards so you send out a polished draft.
    • Your congressman may not respond directly to your letter. However, remember that the point is to gradually establish your voice over time.

Method 2 of 3:
Meeting Your Congressman in Person

  1. 1
    See if you can schedule a meeting. If you really want a congressman to know you, try meeting with him face-to-face. Scheduling a meeting is simple. All you have to do is call their local office and request a meeting to discuss an issue of importance to you. Someone should be able to get you into the schedule.[7]
    • You may end up meeting with staff members. However, remember that a positive relationship with congressional staff can eventually get your name to the congressman.
    • Know what you want to meet about. For example, if you're a teacher, tell the congressman you want to meet to ask questions about an upcoming vote regarding school funding.
  2. 2
    Invite them to events. If you are a member of any political organizations, invite your congressman to speak. You can also invite your congressman to speak at things like charities or events for a local library, animal shelter, or other organization. If you volunteer for these types of organizations, reach out to your congressman. You should be able to call their office and see if they're able to attend events. This is a great way to get your congressman to know you, as you'll be showcasing that you're politically involved and able to take initiative.[8]
    • Your congressman will be more likely to make time for your event if you can show him the benefit for him. You can try hosting a fundraiser or invite him to speak about an issue that will be important in an upcoming election.
  3. 3
    Show up at town hall meetings. Congressmen host town hall meetings where they meet with voters one-on-one. If you are a regular at town hall meetings and engage in conversation and questions, your congressman may eventually come to know you.[9]
    • Be prepared for town hall meetings. Your congressman is more likely to remember someone who had an articulate question or comment planned out ahead of time. Read up on current events and think of a question you could ask at the meeting.
  4. 4
    Give it time. It can take years to establish yourself politically enough that your congressman knows you. Have patience and take little victories as they come. If you receive a letter from your congressmen, for example, keep in mind he probably did not write the response himself. However, if you continue to engage with your congressman's staff respectfully, you may eventually break through and talk to him directly.[10]

Method 3 of 3:
Ensuring Effective Interactions

  1. 1
    Dress professionally. If you want your congressman to remember you well, always dress professionally. You want to make a good impression by wearing business-like attire to events and meetings with you representative.[11]
    • If you're meeting your congressmen on behalf of an organization, you should wear a t-shirt or button advertising that organization.
  2. 2
    Learn about your cause ahead of time. When you meet with your congressmen, whether face-to-face in a town hall meeting, make sure you go in knowing what is being discussed. Congressmen are more likely to get to know people who are politically involved, so do some research before meeting your congressman.[12]
    • Be prepared before you meet your congressman. Make sure to write out notes with a rough idea of what you will say and ask and review them ahead of time. Read or watch the news in the days leading up to meeting your congressman.
    • Research based on what will be discussed. If you're going as an advocate for an organization you work for, for example, make sure you read up on your organization extensively ahead of time. If you're going to a town hall meeting covering something like, say, healthcare, read up on the healthcare debate ahead of time.
  3. 3
    Avoid reaching out via social media. Many people attempt to reach their congressman via tweeting or commenting on Facebook. This is usually ineffective. Congressmen and women are unlikely to read every tweet, so do not expect to get your congressman's attention by reaching out via social media.[13]
  4. 4
    Remember to thank your congressman. After meeting with your congressman, offer a sincere "Thank you." Being polite will help your congressmen remember you fondly. This can keep your name on their mind in the future.[14]
    • Say something like, "Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me. I really appreciate it."

How to Grow Wheatgrass at Home

Co-authored by Andrew Carberry, MPH

Updated: March 29, 2019

Wheatgrass is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients that keep your mind and body healthy and vibrant.[1] Taking a "shot" of juiced wheatgrass as part of your morning breakfast routine is considered a healthy way to start the day, but it can get very expensive. If you want to make wheatgrass a regular part of your diet, try growing it yourself at home instead of buying it already juiced. This article provides information on how to grow wheatgrass from seeds and make the most of it once it has matured.

Part 1 of 4:
Soaking and Germinating Wheatgrass Seeds

  1. 1
    Source wheatgrass seeds. Wheatgrass seeds are also called hard winter wheat seed or wheat berries. Buy a bag of seeds online or at a health supply store. Look for organic seeds from a reputable source to make sure the seeds haven't been treated with pesticides and will grow into healthy, vibrant grass.[2]
  2. 2
    Prepare the seeds for soaking. Before the seeds can be soaked and germinated, they need to be measured and rinsed.
    • Measure out enough seeds to create a light layer on the seed tray you use to grow the grass. For a 16" x 16" tray, use about two cups of seeds.
    • Rinse the seeds in cool, clean water using a colander with very small holes or a strainer. Drain them well and put them in a bowl.
  3. 3
    Soak the seeds. Soaking the seeds initiates germination. By the end of the process, the seeds will have sprouted small roots.
    • Pour cold water, preferably filtered, into the bowl of seeds. Add about three times as much water as you have seeds. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it on the counter to soak for about 10 hours, or overnight.[3]
    • Drain the water from the seeds and replace it with more cold, filtered water - again, about three times as much water as you have seeds. Let it soak for another 10 hours.
    • Repeat the process one more time, for a total of three long soaks.
    • By the end of the last soak, the seeds should have sprouted roots. This means they are ready to plant. Drain them and set them aside until you're ready to plant them.

Part 2 of 4:
Planting the Seeds

  1. 1
    Prepare the seed tray for planting. Line the seed tray with paper towels, to prevent the wheatgrass roots from growing through the holes in the bottom of the tray. Spread an even one-inch layer of organic compost or potting soil in the seed tray.
    • If possible, use paper towels that have not been treated with chemicals or dyes. Recycled, chemical-free paper towels are available at health food stores.
    • Use pre-moistened compost or potting soil free of pesticides or other chemicals. It's important to use organic soil to get the most benefit from your wheatgrass.
  2. 2
    Plant the seeds. Spread the seeds in an even layer across the top of the compost or potting soil. Lightly press the seeds into the soil, but don't completely bury them.
    • It's fine if the seeds are touching each other, but make sure there's not a pile of seeds in one area. Each seed needs a little room to grow.
    • Water the tray lightly, making sure each seed gets a sprinkle.
    • Cover the tray with a few moistened sheets of newspaper to protect the seedlings.
  3. 3
    Keep the seeds moist. It's important to make sure the seeds don't dry out in the first few days after you plant them. Keep them damp as they root themselves in the seed tray.[4]
    • Lift the newspaper and water the tray thoroughly in the morning so that the soil is wet, but not completely waterlogged.
    • Use a spray bottle filled with water to lightly mist the soil in the evening before you go to bed, so the seedlings don't dry out overnight. Spray the newspaper, too, so it keeps them wet.
    • On the fourth day after planting, remove the newspaper to prevent the seeds from sprouting under it. Continue watering the sprouted grass once a day.
  4. 4
    Keep the grass in partial sunlight. Direct sun will damage the grass, so make sure it is always in a shady place in your home.

Part 3 of 4:
Harvesting the Wheatgrass

  1. 1
    Wait for the wheatgrass to "split." Once the shoots are mature, a second blade of grass will begin growing out of the first shoot. This is called "splitting" and means that the grass is ready for harvesting.[5]
    • At this point the grass should be about six inches tall.
    • Grass is usually ready to harvest after 9 or 10 days of growth.
  2. 2
    Cut the wheatgrass above the root. Use a scissors to harvest the grass by clipping it just above the root and collecting it in a bowl. The harvested grass is ready to be juiced.
    • Harvested wheatgrass keeps in the refrigerator for about a week, but it tastes best and provides the most health benefits when it's harvested right before you plan to juice it.
    • Keep watering the wheatgrass to produce a second crop. Harvest that crop once it's mature.
    • Sometimes a third crop comes up, but it's usually not as tender and sweet as the first one. Empty the seed tray and prepare it for another batch of seedlings.
  3. 3
    Start the process again. It takes a lot of wheatgrass to make just a few shots of wheatgrass juice. If you plan to make wheatgrass a part of your daily diet, you'll need more than one tray of seedlings growing at a time.
    • Time the growing and harvesting cycle so that you have a new batch of seeds soaking while the previous batch is in the process of taking root. If you have two or three seeds at various stages in rotation, you should be able to produce enough wheatgrass to have a shot of juice every day.
    • Wheatgrass is a beautiful bright green color, and adds a natural touch to your kitchen or sunroom, wherever you choose to grow it. Consider growing wheatgrass in a decorative container and surrounding your wheatgrass with other plants, so that you can enjoy the beauty of wheatgrass as well as its health benefits.

Part 4 of 4:
Juicing the Wheatgrass

  1. 1
    Rinse the wheatgrass. Since the wheatgrass was grown from organic seeds in organic soil or compost, it doesn't need a heavy washing. Give it a light rinse to wash away any debris or dust it may have collected from the air.
  2. 2
    Place the wheatgrass in a juicer. Special wheatgrass juicers are designed to make the most of this fibrous plant.
    • Avoid using regular juicers, since wheatgrass can clog them and cause them to break.
    • You can use a blender if you don't have a juicer. Once the wheatgrass is completely blended, use a strainer to take out the solids.
  3. 3
    Enjoy a shot of wheatgrass. You only need a few ounces of wheatgrass juice to feel the effects of its powerful mix of vitamins and minerals.

      • If your wheatgrass tray shows signs of mold, increase the air circulation in the growing area by placing a fan nearby. Harvest the wheatgrass above the layer of mold; it will still be healthy to consume.
      • Go to your local garden center and ask them for the plastic trays the plants come in—they usually have a stack they throw away. These are the perfect size for growing wheatgrass.

      Article SummaryX

      To grow wheatgrass at home, start by soaking some wheatgrass seeds in a bowl of cold water for 30 hours, replacing the water every 10 hours. Then, spread the seeds out in a seed tray filled with a thin layer of compost. Gently press them into the soil without completely covering them. Then, cover the tray and set it somewhere that gets indirect sunlight. While you're waiting for your wheatgrass to sprout, keep the soil moist by misting it with water every day.

Creating Beautiful Smiles

Call Us

After Hours 24/7

Hello Dr Pike,
Thank you so much for the good work on my new shining crown. It is well and chomping away finely. I am very pleased with all your recent work focus. And feel a touch of the immortal as the two gold crowns you put in place gives me a sense that I'll have something to leave behind for posterity and such.

Blessings & Peace,
- Tom H.

Dear Dr Pike,
Thank you again for taking me as a patient - for your warmth and kindness during procedures, for the exceptional staff around you and just getting to know you. My time In Estes Park was indeed special. See you in a year.

- Esther

Dear Dr Pike & staff,
"No, I don't want to get new teeth, my teeth are part of who I am, I don't want to look different." This is what Dr Pike heard.. Well.....just wanted to pass on how fortunate I feel. Many of my friends told me that my teeth look SO nice. Many have said "your dentist did a great job, who do you go to?" I am so grateful that you and Earl were so encouraging and you did your best to make me happy. I AM!! My daughter (dental hygienist) is really impressed and told me many times how good my teeth look and what a good job you did. To All Of You- I feel so fortunate that all of you were so supportive. You have a great group! We are so thankful you are our teeth carers

- Earl & Earlene

Dear Dr Pike,
Thank you so much for your patience with me. My teeth look And feel great. I am very pleased and Ron says I have a dazzling smile :). Thank you for your kindness and for going the extra mile.

- Patti

Dr. Pike and Staff,
Thank you just doesn't seem enough to say for the courtesy and time given to me last week in your office. Working me in to your busy schedule and finding me some one to remove my tooth was too much to be expected. People like you are what make Estes such a great place to live.

-Nancy D.

Dear Dr. Pike and staff-
Thank you all so very sincerely. I have never been a walk in patient. In fact I've never had a health issue when traveling. I am so appreciative as your care for me was stellar. The Cephalexin enabled me to drive home in relative comfort. I had the root canal Friday. I am feeling so good that it is hard to remember the pain! But your kindness and expertise will always be remembered

Thank You

-Jeanne N.

I wanted to write you a quick note to say thank you so much for all your help this summer. I feel very fortunate to have found such a caring dentist. My tooth feels perfectly fine now. I leave for Thailand today, and I probably would not be going if it were not for you.

Thank you again!

-Alyssa B.

Just a note to thank you for all of your work on my teeth over the last months. I know you have a full patient schedule and I really appreciate that you found a way to fit me in for every step of the veneer process - from my initial panic emergency visit to the final veneer application. I also appreciate your attention to detail and obvious concern for matching my tooth color. My smile has always been a big part of my personality and I am thrilled to finally have it back. Thank you!

-Lisa D.

We have never had such a fine dentist with such a dedicated staff. You are truly one of a kind dentist and staff. Thank you for your constant care and superior service

Clients forever

-Ron and Sharol L.

Thank you for everything you do for me..... Even on short notice. You always make my trip to Kosovo enjoyable even if just to visit you all. I really do appreciate you all!!

All my best

-Randy R.

I want to thank you for all you have done for me. Working so hard to fix my denture has made my life so much better. It was so thoughtful of you to do this. I will never forget you for that. If there were more people in this world like you, it would be a better place.

-Joyce W.

Thank you! You know - through the years, you've shown such consideration for my situation - and to all your patients I'm sure. You have such a happy office - I love coming there - Truly!

Thank you so much!

-Bev E.

We thank you so much for the beautiful spring bouquet that arrived at the rehab center. We didn't know dentists did things like that! Just proves our dentist and staff are special!

Thanks again

-Jean S.

WILTON — Following high demand with previous parent support groups, a new group is being started by Wilton Youth Services — the “Support and Troubleshooting” parent group.

In the new group, parents are invited to ask questions, get suggestions, and practice the skills they’ve learned in other programs, with the support of other parents.

“Our aim is to provide parental support in a judgment-free zone,” according to Colleen Fawcett, Wilton Youth Services coordinator and one of the group’s leaders.

Fawcett will be joined by Vanessa Elias, past president of the Wilton Youth Council and facilitator of NAMI-CAN (National Alliance on Mental Illness Child & Adolescent Network) parent support groups.

“We’re starting this group following requests by parents for continuing support and conversations. Parents seemed hungry for more. So we designed this group to fill that express need,” said Fawcett.

Topics discussed in the group will be raised by the parents who are participating and are inclusive, and not geared to parents of children in any particular age group.

Some of the issues parents are particularly interested in are bedtime anxiety, struggles with transitions, vaping and/or drinking, angst about balance in life, diet, sleep, exercise, and screen time/social media, according to Fawcett. The group can discuss these and other issues parents have.

“We hope to foster honest conversations. Parents don’t have to be the ‘perfect parents.’ We all struggle with parenting. It can be troubling at times and sometimes super joyful. We hope parents who participate will share their advice with others,” said Fawcett.

The first “Support and Troubleshooting” parent group meeting is Feb. 7 and will continue to meet every other Friday until June 19, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., at the Comstock Community Center.

Advance registration is required by contacting Colleen Fawcett the week before by email at colleen.fawcett@wiltonct.org, or by phone at 203-834-6241.

Raspberry Pi's Eben Upton: we need to create a generation of producers not consumers | Wired 2013 video

18 Oct 2013

Nate Lanxon / Canon 5D MkIII

The west has created a generation of devices, such as smartphones and tablets, whose primary function is to allow people to consume content created by someone else, said Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton, speaking at Wired 2013. "The direction we've drifted in has deprived us of a supply of computer programmers. We have a generation of consumers not producers, and consumption hardware and not production hardware," he said. "We are trying to generate a group of people who see computing as an open environment, see it as a platform for creating their own destiny."

Upton talked about the reasons why he launched the $25 linux microcomputer when he was teaching computer science at Cambridge University and found that there was a dearth of prospective undergraduates. When Upton had been young, he'd played with the BBC Micro, "a wonderful machine" which required the kids who used it to learn basic computer programming. It provided the Cambridge University with a "stream of people" who had already got their Malcolm Gladwell-prescribed 10,000 hours of hacking under their belt.

However, when Upton was involved in computer science admissions, the numbers of applicants had dwindled, with many bright students coming in "with no practical familiarity" with coding.

Eben Upton
Nate Lanxon / Canon 5D MkIII

Tools such as the Commodore 64, BBC Micro and the ZX Spectrum had disappeared and been replaced with "fixed function devices", such as games consoles, mobile phones, and tablets. Upton flagged up PCs, saying that although they were programmable, they represent a "less approachable platform". All of this "cut the legs off our supply of young people".

This led Upton to wonder -- during 2006 -- whether there was still a niche for a machine that could go into a child's bedroom and would still be interesting. "But if we were going to ask people to buy hardware it would have to be very cheap." He went for the $25 price point since he felt it was comparable to a textbook. "I now understand that's an incorrect estimate. If we had a better idea of what school textbooks cost we would have had an easier job with the engineering over the years," he said.

Upton massively underestimated the demand for the Raspberry Pi, thinking that 1,000 devices would be a good estimate. Prior to launching the product, he pestered the BBC to allow him to put the BBC brand on it "because we are quite nostalgic". "They said no."

Then in 2011, Upton went to see BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, who filmed the device and put it on his blog. "It got 600,000 views in two days." "We had this sudden 'oh shit' moment that we had promised 600,000 people to build a computer for $25 and we had no practical idea how to do it," he said.

That spurred him to develop prototypes by the end of the year, scaling production to around 10,000 computers. "We sold 100,000 in the first day. We took down the websites of both of our distributors."

Upton was surprised that almost all of those Pis were sold to adults. "There was this wonderful latent demand among adults for a piece of Lego they could use to stitch together other pieces of electronics."

20 months in and 1.8 million units have been sold. He hopes that by around 2020, universities like Cambridge will start to see the impact of the device in their admissions process.

The Archetype - Innerspring Mattress

Willis J. Southard eschewed mass produced, machine-made mattresses. We embrace WJ’s philosophies today of hand crafting mattresses. And, it’s also inspiration for our hand tufted organic innerspring mattress made with organic cotton and a blend of organic and pure wool.  No bells and whistles here. Because last we checked, who could get any quality sleep with bells and whistles?

460 offset coil innerspring unit.
65 oz per yd2 cotton batting made with organic cotton
20 oz per yd2 wool batting made with a blend of organic and pure wool.
10 oz per yd2 fabric made with organic cotton.

Hand-tufted, two-sided mattress.
Best supported by our wood slat foundation, but it may be placed on a platform bed, as long as the bed provides ample support. Make sure you review our warranty and product care so that it is properly supported.

Available in firm.
Why one firmness? Simplicity. When your grandmother bought her mattress from us, we only offered one. Do we really need to make it more confusing?

Approximately 8"

25 year prorated, limited warranty.
Knowing is half the battle. So, please peruse it so that there aren't any surprises later on.

Please note that because all mattresses are made by hand, the dimensions may vary by up to an inch. (Nobody is perfect. Not even us though we think we are.) Don't worry. In our nearly one hundred years of existence, it hasn't affected how the mattress fits into the frame of the bed.
