Stamped Concrete – What is It?

Stamped concrete is concrete that is patterned and/or textured or embossed to look like brick, slate, flagstone, stone, tile, wood, and numerous other patterns and textures. It is typically utilized for outdoor patios, walkways, driveways, swimming pool decks, and interior floor covering. Due to it’s versatility, there are an unlimited quantity of style options. Stamped concrete is likewise understood to be appealing and economical option to utilizing other products such as stone, slate or brick.

There are 3 significant extra actions utilized in stamped concrete which separate it from other concrete treatments. Initial step includes the intro of a base color. Second of all, an emphasize color is included as an accent, and lastly a pattern is marked into concrete. These 3 treatments offer stamped concrete with a its color, shape and texture

Base Color

The base color is the primary utilized. There are an unrestricted variety of colors to pick from. There are 2 significant techniques to present color to the concrete. One technique is to transmit exactly what is called a color hardener. Color hardener is a powder pigment utilized to color the concrete, by actually tossing it onto the surface area of the concrete. You relayed the hardener as quickly as it is drifted for the very first time. After letting the bleed water soak into the hardener you drift and trowel it in. This technique just covers the surface area about 3/16 of an inch however it offers the concrete surface area a longer use life. The 2nd technique is called integrally colored concrete. The whole volume of concrete is colored by including the color hardener to the truck. The procedure of integrally coloring provides the benefit of the whole volume being colored; nevertheless, the surface area strength is not increased just like making use of color hardener.

Highlight Color

The emphasize color, the secondary color, is utilized to, as the name suggests, highlight the texture and pattern. It has the exact same result that shading carries out in artwork. The accent color can be attained at the time of put or after the concrete has actually set.

Marking patterns

Concrete marking is the treatment which utilizes the concrete stamps to make the pattern in the concrete. Concrete stamps are put on the concrete after the release has actually been used. The concrete stamps are pressed into the concrete then eliminated to leave the pattern and texture in the stamped concrete.

Guitar Tips N Tricks

A guitar is a beautiful thing, but, it can’t play music alone. It needs you. And while a guitar is only as good as its master, the master can always improve. And, I hope to teach you a few tips here today about improving yourself fast and easy (and not to mention, fun!).
The first thing you need to do is find a reason to keep playing. Is it for fun? Is it to become more technically adept? Learn a million songs and play at parties? Pick up girls (or guys)? What?
So, this is your first tip: exploit your reason to play. The goal here is to get you spending more time doing something you love to do. If you just want to have fun, then me suggesting scales and rhythm exercises is gonna turn you off. So have fun! Learn cool tunes, grab a beer and invite a buddy over to jam.
Speaking of buddies, perhaps you should consider how many friends you have that are musicians. Most people know a few right off the top of their head, but you should know a bunch more than that. In fact, you should have a massive list of musician friends ready to hang out and play guitar with at a moment’s notice.
Why? Because you should always try to improve yourself by playing with musicians who are different or better than you. Everyone knows that art isn’t created in a bubble. It takes inspiration, some background and, sometimes, a gentle push by a more talented musician.
The last suggestion I’ll give is a little bizarre and non-obvious, but let me try to get through it in a way that isn’t crazy.
So, you know how to speak, write and read. You can spontaneously create new sentences, paragraphs and even whole novels on a whim, most of them never heard before. And, you probably don’t think much of it. This is everyday stuff.
Well, I implore you to use the same sort of ability you already possess to restructure language and use it to restructure music. In short, learn to abstract every concept, chord, lick or note away from the context you learned if for. This will teach you that you can remix and reuse everything you’ve ever learned in new and interesting ways. The possibilities are endless, and if that doesn’t excite you, then… what will?

Verse > Henry Wadsworth Longfellow > Complete Poetical Works
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882).  Complete Poetical Works.  1893.
Christus: A Mystery
Part III. The New England Tragedies.
John Endicott.
Act V
SCENE I.—Daybreak. Street in front of UPSALL’S house. A light in the window. Enter JOHN ENDICOTT.

O SILENT, sombre, and deserted streets,
To me ye ’re peopled with a sad procession,
And echo only to the voice of sorrow!
O houses full of peacefulness and sleep,
Far better were it to awake no more        5
Than wake to look upon such scenes again!
There is a light in Master Upsall’s window.
The good man is already risen, for sleep
Deserts the couches of the old.
Knocks at UPSALL’S door.

UPSALL  (at the window).
                            Who ’s there?
Am I so changed you do not know my voice?
I know you. Have you heard what things have happened?
I have heard nothing.

                    Stay; I will come down.
I am afraid some dreadful news awaits me!
I do not dare to ask, yet am impatient
To know the worst. Oh, I am very weary        15
With waiting and with watching and pursuing!
Thank God, you have come back! I ’ve much to tell you.
Where have you been?

            You know that I was seized,
Fined, and released again. You know that Edith,
After her scourging in three towns, was banished        20
Into the wilderness, into the land
That is not sown; and there I followed her,
But found her not. Where is she?

                            She is here.
Oh, do not speak that word, for it means death!
No, it means life. She sleeps in yonder chamber.
Listen to me. When news of Leddra’s death
Reached England, Edward Burroughs, having boldly
Got access to the presence of the King,
Told him there was a vein of innocent blood
Opened in his dominions here, which threatened        30
To overrun them all. The King replied,
“But I will stop that vein!” and he forthwith
Sent his Mandamus to our Magistrates,
That they proceed no further in this business.
So all are pardoned, and all set at large.        35
Thank God! This is a victory for truth!
Our thoughts are free. They cannot be shut up
In prison walls, nor put to death on scaffolds!
Come in; the morning air blows sharp and cold
Through the damp streets.

                    It is the dawn of day
That chases the old darkness from our sky,
And fills the land with liberty and light.    [Exeunt.
SCENE II.—The parlor of the Three Mariners. Enter KEMPTHORN.

A dull life this,—a dull life anyway!
Ready for sea; the cargo all aboard,
Cleared for Barbadoes, and a fair wind blowing        45
From nor’-nor’-west; and I, an idle lubber,
Laid neck and heels by that confounded bond!
I said to Ralph, says I, “What ’s to be done?”
Says he: “Just slip your hawser in the night;
Sheer off, and pay it with the topsail, Simon.”        50
But that won’t do; because, you see, the owners
Somehow or other are mixed up with it.
Here are King Charles’s Twelve Good Rules, that Cole
Thinks as important as the Rule of Three.
“Make no comparisons; make no long meals.”        55
Those are good rules and golden for a landlord
To hang in his best parlor, framed and glazed!
“Maintain no ill opinions; urge no healths.”
I drink the King’s, whatever he may say,
And, as to ill opinions, that depends.        60
Now of Ralph Goldsmith I ’ve a good opinion,
And of the bilboes I ’ve an ill opinion;
And both of these opinions I ’ll maintain
As long as there ’s a shot left in the locker.
Enter EDWARD BUTTER with an ear-trumpet.
Good morning, Captain Kempthorn.

                            Sir, to you.
You ’ve the advantage of me. I don’t know you.
What may I call your name?

                    That ’s not your name?
Yes, that ’s my name. What ’s yours?

                        My name is Butter.
I am the treasurer of the Commonwealth.
Will you be seated?

            What say? Who ’s conceited?
Will you sit down?

                    Oh, thank you.

                        Spread yourself
Upon this chair, sweet Butter.

BUTTER  (sitting down).
                        A fine morning.
Nothing ’s the matter with it that I know of.
I have seen better, and I have seen worse.
The wind ’s nor’west. That ’s fair for them that sail.        75
You need not speak so loud; I understand you.
You sail to-day.

                    No, I don’t sail to-day.
So, be it fair or foul, it matters not.
Say, will you smoke? There ’s choice tobacco here.
No, thank you. It ’s against the law to smoke.
Then, will you drink? There ’s good ale at this inn.
No, thank you. It ’s against the law to drink.
Well, almost everything ’s against the law
In this good town. Give a wide berth to one thing,
You ’re sure to fetch up soon on something else.        85
And so you sail to-day for dear Old England.
I am not one of those who think a sup
Of this New England air is better worth
Than a whole draught of our Old England’s ale.
Nor I. Give me the ale and keep the air.
But, as I said, I do not sail to-day.
Ah yes; you sail to-day.

                        I ’m under bonds
To take some Quakers back to the Barbadoes;
And one of them is banished, and another
Is sentenced to be hanged.

                No, all are pardoned,
All are set free, by order of the Court;
But some of them would fain return to England.
You must not take them. Upon that condition
Your bond is cancelled.

                Ah, the wind has shifted!
I pray you, do you speak officially?        100
I always speak officially. To prove it,
Here is the bond.
Rising and giving a paper.

                And here ’s my hand upon it.
And, look you, when I say I ’ll do a thing
The thing is done. Am I now free to go?
What say?

            I say, confound the tedious man
With his strange speaking-trumpet! Can I go?
You ’re free to go, by order of the Court.
Your servant, sir.    [Exit.

KEMPTHORN (shouting from the window).
                Swallow, ahoy! Hallo!
If ever a man was happy to leave Boston,
That man is Simon Kempthorn of the Swallow!
Reënter BUTTER.
Pray, did you call?

            Call? Yes, I hailed the Swallow.
That ’s not my name. My name is Edward Butter.
You need not speak so loud.

KEMPTHORN (shaking hands).
                    Good-by! Good-by!
Your servant, sir.

                And yours a thousand times!    [Exeunt.
SCENE III.—GOVERNOR ENDICOTT’S private room. An open window. ENDICOTT seated in an arm-chair. BELLINGHAM standing near.

O lost, O loved! wilt thou return no more?
O loved and lost, and loved the more when lost!
How many men are dragged into their graves
By their rebellious children! I now feel
The agony of a father’s breaking heart
In David’s cry, “O Absalom, my son!”        120
Can you not turn your thoughts a little while
To public matters? There are papers here
That need attention.

                    Trouble me no more!
My business now is with another world.
Ah, Richard Bellingham! I greatly fear        125
That in my righteous zeal I have been led
To doing many things which, left undone,
My mind would now be easier. Did I dream it,
Or has some person told me, that John Norton
Is dead?

        You have not dreamed it. He is dead,
And gone to his reward. It was no dream.
Then it was very sudden; for I saw him
Standing where you now stand, not long ago.
By his own fireside, in the afternoon,
A faintness and a giddiness came o’er him;        135
And, leaning on the chimney-piece, he cried,
“The hand of God is on me!” and fell dead.
And did not some one say, or have I dreamed it,
That Humphrey Atherton is dead?

He too is gone, and by a death as sudden.        140
Returning home one evening, at the place
Where usually the Quakers have been scourged,
His horse took fright, and threw him to the ground,
So that his brains were dashed about the street.
I am not superstitious, Bellingham,
And yet I tremble lest it may have been
A judgment on him.

                    So the people think.
They say his horse saw standing in the way
The ghost of William Leddra, and was frightened.
And furthermore, brave Richard Davenport,        150
The captain of the Castle, in the storm
Has been struck dead by lightning.

                        Speak no more.
For as I listen to your voice it seems
As if the Seven Thunders uttered their voices,
And the dead bodies lay about the streets        155
Of the disconsolate city! Bellingham,
I did not put those wretched men to death.
I did but guard the passage with the sword
Pointed towards them, and they rushed upon it!
Yet now I would that I had taken no part        160
In all that bloody work.

                        The guilt of it
Be on their heads, not ours.

                        Are all set free?
All are at large.

            And none have been sent back
To England to malign us with the King?
The ship that brought them sails this very hour,
But carries no one back.
A distant cannon.

                        What is that gun?
Her parting signal. Through the window there,
Look, you can see her sails, above the roofs,
Dropping below the Castle, outward bound.
O white, white, white! Would that my soul had wings
As spotless as those shining sails to fly with!
Now lay this cushion straight. I thank you. Hark!
I thought I heard the hall door open and shut!
I thought I heard the footsteps of my boy!
It was the wind. There ’s no one in the passage.
O Absalom, my son! I feel the world
Sinking beneath me, sinking, sinking, sinking!
Death knocks! I go to meet him! Welcome, Death!
Rises, and sinks back dead; his head falling aside upon his shoulder.
O ghastly sight! Like one who has been hanged!
Endicott! Endicott! He makes no answer!
Raises ENDICOTT’S head.
He breathes no more! How bright this signet-ring
Glitters upon his hand, where he has worn it
Through such long years of trouble, as if Death
Had given him this memento of affection,
And whispered in his ear, “Remember me!”        185
How placid and how quiet is his face,
Now that the struggle and the strife are ended!
Only the acrid spirit of the times
Corroded this true steel. Oh, rest in peace,
Courageous heart! Forever rest in peace!        190

Accuquilt GO! Big Blog Hop

I was SEW excited when I got the email from accuquilt to be a part of this blog hop and get the GO! BIG!!

I mean, how cool is THAT!!???

So soon after that THIS huge box showed up at my front door

The GO! big IS big!

I cleared some counter space for it Smile

I might leave it open most of the time, we’ll see Smile

I also got the Snail Trail BIG die and a bundle of Andover “Downton Abbey” fabrics.

So I put my thinking cap on and came up with an idea….

I wanted to make a quilt BAG or travel bag for my projects when we go on long road trips or to and from Church on Sundays.

I added a bit of my own off white fabrics, but wanted to try to use as much of the Downton abbey fabrics as I could

The snail trail die is a BOB die and cuts out all the pieces with one pass for one block, easy peasy!

I sewed the four patch together and just LOVE how the next triangles have the dog ears cut off, so they fit PERFECTLY!

and the next row had the tips of the triangles cut off on the previous round, so these dog ears were cut at an angle, GENIUS!

and the same with the next round

Here I had two blocks done, one each for the front and back of a bag

Then I cut out pieces for a border and the top and bottom including a flange on the top and sewed them together.

For handles I cut out long strips ( I think they were 4” wide) and 1” strips of batting and ironed them like bias tape, by folding half and creasing, then folding each side into the crease and adding the batting inside one of the flaps and ironing flat

Then pinning and sewing close to the edge on both sides

I also sewed the front and back of the bag together and quilted it on my long arm

I also cut off the bottom of the bag’s corners to have a flat bottom

Then finished up the bag, by adding the handles and adding a lining and trimming the bottom in the same way

I also added pockets to the lining before sewing it together, I KIND OF deliberately made the pockets higher than normal, this way, when I have a quilt in the bag and my sewing pouch, the sewing pouch is easy to reach Smile

The bag looks great all stuffed with a quilt!

and see the sewing pouch?!

I also made a bonus project with leftovers, this mini tumbler quilt using the small tumbler GO! die

Here’s a close up of the quilting, I did a flame sort of design on the outer border, straight lines on the inner border and curves from corner to corner on the tumblers

With the bundle of Downton Abbey fabrics, was a small panel of a few quilt labels, so I embroidered one on my embroidery machine and added to the back.

I then put the quilt on Peanut! he looks thrilled, doesn’t he?

joghurtbecher © beierle + keijser

Here is a short update to not prolong our absence much longer — and perhaps to get back into the iron discipline of daily posting. Our summertime project, the joghurtbecher collection, is a welcome diversion from the pressure of finishing several jobs at the same time, and new specimens keep being added as we explore the German supermarkets. Meanwhile, I have a number of topics on printing and publishing books lined up to post about as soon as I can free myself. You can expect a book review of Michael de Kooter’s splendidly self-published Périphérique, as well as a few belated notes on Benson’s The Printed Picture, we’ve planned an interview of sorts with Ralf Grossek about his new book Collection of functional intentions, as well as a declaration of love for a book about the French photographer Adolphe Braun, I hope to collect some information about more unusual scanning techniques and maybe we can show some print proofs of the publication we’re working on at the moment. Also, I hope to welcome guest poster Bas Princen, that is, if he can disentangle himself from his owning printing project. Like a Usain Bolt he has set himself the target of producing an entire publication of his work (offset printed) and finding a publisher and funding within four weeks. We still love to write, to share new findings, to murmur our thoughts out loud in the deep void of the internet — so stay tuned!

the first M&M

© Meier und Müller

There has been no official launch-con-bruhaha-champagne party, more a quiet seeping into the blogospere, but the word is out that Independent Photo Book co-founder and fellow blogger-friend Jörg Colberg has started up shop as independent photo book publisher. Meier und Müller is the name under which he is operating together with Andres Marroquin Winkelman, which prompted me to dub them the M&M’s. Take note: they’re accepting submissions too. Conditions, the first book project, features work of Winkelman, and I have been told other projects are underway. I hope to see this enterprise growing into a real publishing venture, producing books that aim to raise the bar for photo book design.

Sharing the book demonstration video — you really have to see it to grasp how the book works — elicited this response from Mariam Khalil, a graphic designer in Beirut, with whom I am collaborating myself on a number of projects:

I like the new unconventional interpretation of the borders issue, and the fact that the book “does not guide the viewer”, which is something we have when the photographs are separate cards, giving the viewer the total freedom of browsing and countless combination possibilities. It’s a clever way to have the same concept of free yet grouped in one unit, avoiding the possible unorganized scattering of photographs. I quote: “photography books need to reflect their contents and their artists’ vision, both in quality and design”, and i guess that that is the ultimate aim for every project, where all the materials, colors, layout, format, and typography tell the story without reading a single word.

At a retail price of 44€ / 49$ the book is a real steal, seeing how elaborately it is made. For sure the profit margin must be diminutative in the eyes of the big book boys, which makes it unlikely that grass roots delicacies like these will ever become so mainstream as to threaten their market single-handedly.

£330m Fort William smelter sale safeguards 150 jobs

An aluminium smelting and hydro power operation in Lochaber has been sold, safeguarding more than 150 jobs.

Mining giant Rio Tinto has sold the scheme near Fort William to SIMEC and Liberty House, two members of international energy and metals group GFG Alliance.

The group said the £330 million sale, supported by the Scottish Government, included hydro plants at Lochaber and Kinlochleven as well as the Lochaber aluminium smelter and more than 100,000 acres of estate spanning the foothills of Ben Nevis.

Liberty House executive chairman Sanjeev Gupta said: "This transaction fits very well with our vision to develop a sustainable and competitive metals industry in the UK as a key part of our global industrial business.

"This is a natural next step for us in our Scottish investment programme and is a springboard for wider manufacturing growth, creating many more jobs in Scotland."

Scottish Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing said: "The sale of both the smelter and hydro power station increases the chance of the site having a viable, long-term future.

"This is great news for the whole local community and especially for the workers at the smelter. Subject to all necessary agreed processes, the deal implemented will safeguard 150 jobs and has the potential to create hundreds more.

"With GFG Alliance, incorporating SIMEC and the Liberty House Group, as the successful bidder, I look forward to an exciting new chapter in the history of the Lochaber complex, with the UK's last remaining aluminium smelter at Fort William continuing as a key component of Scotland's industrial capability and a major source of employment in the Highlands and Islands."

The agreement follows Liberty's reopening of the mothballed steel plate mill at Dalzell in Motherwell.

Lochaber SNP MSP Kate Forbes said: "My hope was always to preserve jobs and continue operations at the smelter, but I think that Liberty House's ambitions for the smelter could put Fort William in the driving seat of industrial expansion, career opportunities and sustainable economic growth.

"Innovation and community benefits were the foundation stones on which the smelter and the hydro scheme were first founded - new villages were built and electricity was generated in Lochaber before anywhere else in Scotland.

"I know that the Scottish Government and I were always keen to support a buyer who were committed to the local community.

"I think that Liberty House's plans for the region are reminiscent of the smelter's innovative, community-focused origins."

120,000-plus UK children 'facing homeless Christmas'

More than 120,000 children across Britain face spending this Christmas homeless and in temporary accommodation, according to analysis by Shelter.

The charity, which used government data to make the findings, said the estimated figure is the highest since 2007 when over 133,000 children were living in temporary accommodation by the end of March that year.

It also calculates that the number of of families living in emergency B&B and hostel rooms has risen by a "worrying" 18% jump in the space of a year, standing at 7,475 by the end of June 2016.

Its report said: "The devastating results of our housing shortage are now being felt by over 120,000 homeless children in Britain - the equivalent of four children in every school."

Shelter also carried out interviews with 25 families currently or recently living in emergency B&B's, hostels or sofa-surfing. It said many felt their accommodation was unsafe and the worst accounts involved exposure to drug abuse, fighting and strangers sleeping in corridors.

Every family interviewed lived in a single room and over half of parents also had to share a bed with their children.

One family interviewed by Shelter was sharing a two bedroom terraced house with three other families.

Many families also reported having to share toilet and bathroom facilities with other residents, according to Shelter, which has launched a Christmas appeal.

It said examples of disrepair in the accommodation families were staying in included dirty or broken mattresses and beds as well as serious hazards like sparking electrical sockets, mould, and windows that would not close.

Eighteen of the 25 families interviewed said their children's mental and emotional health had been badly affected, with accounts of children becoming anxious, isolated from their friends and struggling to sleep. Over half of parents said their children's development was negatively impacted.

Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: "Fifty years since Shelter was founded, too many families still need our help.

"Almost daily we hear from parents desperate to escape the single cramped room of a B&B or hostel that they find themselves struggling to raise their children in. Imagine having to eat all of your meals on the floor, share a bed with the rest of your family, or being too frightened to leave your room at night - these are things no parent wants their child to endure.

"That's why we urgently need the public's support to help us be there for the thousands of families who'll need us this Christmas."

A spokesman for the Department of Communities and Local Government said: "Temporary accommodation ensures that no families with children are ever left without roofs over their heads.

"This Government has invested £500m to tackle homelessness - including prevention funding and £40m for councils to help rough sleepers.

"Just last week, this Government announced it would be backing Bob Blackman's Homelessness Reduction Bill - which will also provide vital support for many more people."

John Healey, shadow secretary of state for housing, said: "Tory ministers should hang their heads in shame over these shocking figures showing over 120,000 children are facing homelessness this Christmas.

"These are the children that can't go home and after six years Conservative ministers can't dodge their responsibility for this scandal."

Bellanwila Rajamaha Vihara - Banner 1 Bellanwila Rajamaha Vihara - Banner 2 Bellanwila Rajamaha Vihara - Banner 3

Much More Than a Temple

This village has become the cynosure of all – Buddhist – non Buddhist, locals and foreigners – because of the Bellanwila Rajamaha Viharaya located therein. This temple is considered a place of great sanctity and veneration. And this is mainly due to its sacred Bodhi – tree.

Historical records reveal that this Bodhi – tree is one of the 32 saplings that sprang from the sacred Bodhi – tree at Anuradhapura planted in the 3rd century B.C. The 32 saplings were distributed throughout the Island over 2000 years ago, and the one at Bellanwila temple is one of these 32 saplings.
The belief in the sanctity of the Bodhi – tree and the temple precincts is so long – cherished and deep – rooted in the minds of the people, it is generally believed that a child who treads the ground under shade of this sacred Bodhi – tree will never fail in life.

Will holding your baby spoil them?

I can't figure out why so many people think it is wrong to follow the natural instinct to hold your child. "You'll spoil him!' "Don't you have a swing? Playpen? Car seat? So you can put her down?" Babies want to be held because they are wired that way from birth. Held babies cry less, learn faster and are generally happier. Yes, a held baby will want to be held more than a baby that has been taught they can't trust adults to meet their needs. This is not the same thing as spoiling a baby.

First, you can't spoil a very young baby. Babies under 6 months are just not capable of the reasoning involved in being spoiled. You can, and should, hold them as much as possible. A sling or baby carrier makes babywearing possible. It is more convenient and frees your hands for other things. With a good sling you can hold your baby to their little heart's content and still go about your day.

Second, babies who are held enough to meet their emotional and physical needs will start to get down and move around on their own as soon as they are able to do so. Content, curious and alert, the held baby soon sees that there are things going on down there that they want to check out. This is a normal part of their development and holding them will not disrupt their natural urge to explore unless you don't let them down when they decide they are ready.

Some babies are ready to explore sooner than others. A timid child may not be ready to move away from you until months after a more exuberant child has already done a lot of exploring. Honoring your child's personality is an important part of building trust, so don't push your baby into independence before she is ready.

Finally, babies are little for only such a short time. Before you are ready they are grown and moving into the world on their own. Holding them now helps you to deepen your bond with your baby so they can move into the world confidently when the time is right. Due to your bond, your baby will know that they can trust you to be there if they need you, even as they explore the world.

This popular Attachment Parenting onesie reminds everyone that it is only for a while that you can hold your baby close.

“Reminiscing” with Little River Band at Artpark!

Australian Rockers Headline June 19 “Tuesday in the Park!”

Little River Band, one of the first Australian bands to achieve substantial success in the United States, are the featured attraction of Artpark’s “First Niagara Tuesday in the Park” free outdoor concert series on June 19. Route 66 will serve as the event’s opening act, which also includes a vast array of free hands-on art workshops for children, and begins at 6:30pm.

Formed in 1975 in Melbourne, Australia, Little River Band amassed international recognition following the release of their third album, 1976’s Diamantina Cocktail, which included the songs "Help Is On Its Way" and "Happy Anniversary." Yet it was the group’s 1978 LP, Sleeper Catcher, which featured a pair of chart-topping singles – “Reminiscing” and “Lady” – that garnered them worldwide superstardom. "Reminiscing" was the band's highest-ever chart achiever, reaching number three on Billboard’s Top-100 whereas "Lady" was the band's highest-ever selling single.

Little River Band’s popularity continued to skyrocket following other catchy tunes such as “Lonesome Loser,” “Cool Change” and George Martin-produced tracks like “The Nightowls,” “Take It Easy On Me” and “Man On Your Mind.” By 1982 they became the only act – from anywhere – to have a Top-10 U.S. single for six consecutive years.

In total, Little River Band has sold more than 25 million records worldwide and has accumulated gold, platinum, and multi-platinum album sales awards. The current quintet consists of guitarist Rich Herring, bass player Wayne Nelson, guitarist/vocalist Greg Hind, drummer Billy Thomas and keyboardist Chris Marion.

The “First Niagara Tuesday in the Park” concert series is also sponsored by Certo Brothers Distributing Company, Sevenson Environmental Services, Modern Corporations, Hard Rock Café – Niagara Falls (USA), S&S Lawn Services, Tim Horton’s, Pine Pharmacy and DiMino’s Lewiston Tops. Children’s art activities are sponsored by the New York Power Authority.

Artpark’s Outdoor Amphitheater can be accessed via the Upper Park’s Portage Road entrance off of Center Street or through South Fourth Street nearest the venue’s Mainstage Theater.

Carry-ins (food and beverages) are prohibited at all of Artpark’s free concert events.

For more information, access the Artpark website at or call the Artpark Box Office at (716) 754-4375.

The Earl W. Brydges Artpark is being operated by Artpark & Company, Inc. for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation under a license agreement.

Counter Fraud Good Practice Guide for Food & Drink Businesses

Counter Fraud Good Practice Guidance for the Food & Drink industry

On November 2nd The Institute of Food Safety, Integrity and Protection (TiFSiP) will publish a new counter fraud good practice guide for the food and drink industry.

The purpose of the guide is to outline how food and drink business can apply established counter fraud good practice to improve fraud resilience and reduce the financial cost of fraud.

The guide was developed by the CIEH Food Community: TiFSiP in collaboration with the University of Portsmouth’s Centre for Counter Fraud Studies, the Food Standards Agency’s National Food Crime Unit, Food Standards Scotland’s Food Crime and Incidents Unit, and the Intellectual Property Office.

In this blog post, Eoghan Daly (TiFSiP’s policy and technical advisor) provides an overview of counter fraud good practice for food and drink businesses.

Eoghan will be speaking at the TiFSiP / BHA conference on November 15th TiFSiP, about the guide, how it was developed, and how it can be used.

The conference will also cover new regulatory requirements for food and drink businesses, controlling food waste, the pros and cons of primary authority partnerships, and responding to new food trends while ensuring food safety.

A limited number of conference tickets are available here.

There is much the food and drink industry could learn from the counter fraud profession.

In previous posts have covered the advantages of taking a counter fraud approach to improve the fraud resilience of food and drink businesses, and summarised the modern strategic approach to counter fraud.

In this post I outline the 7 steps to successful counter fraud practice. The steps are based on good practice applied by counter fraud professionals.

Step 1: Establish the nature and scale of the problem

Undertake statistically valid analysis to determine:
• The financial cost of fraud to the organisation.
• The types of frauds affecting the organisation, and the relative cost of each type.

Step 2: Develop a counter fraud strategy
The strategy should include:
• The aims and objectives of the counter fraud work.
• The counter fraud actions which will be undertaken.
• The expected outputs and outcomes.
• The monitoring and evaluation framework.

Step 3: Establish an implementation structure
Effective implementation requires:
• Centralised counter fraud remit and authority.
• Professional counter fraud skills.
• Investment in counter fraud work proportionate to the financial cost of fraud.

Step 4: Design and implement fraud prevention measures
Fraud prevention involves:
• Development of an anti-fraud culture
• Creating a strong deterrence effect.
• Designing weaknesses out of processes and systems.

Step 5: Design and implement fraud detection measures
Detection requires:
• Whistleblowing arrangements.
• Setting expectations about reporting concerns.
• Data analysis to reveal anomalies.

Step 6: Design and implement investigative processes
When undertaking investigations it is important that:
• They are legally compliant.
• Appropriate criminal, civil and regulatory sanctions are sought.
• Action is taken to recover losses.

Step 7: Monitor outcomes
Demonstrating return on investment requires tracking and monitoring of the outcomes specified in an organisation’s counter fraud strategy.

The steps above are straightforward, if you know what you are doing. There is a lot of work necessary under each one and it is best to get advice from an accredited counter fraud professional before you start.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa softball team salvaged a doubleheader split against Wisconsin on Saturday at Pearl Field. After dropping the opener, 1-0, the Hawkeyes plated three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to rally for a 4-3 victory in game two. "It was a little frustrating that first game.

250 is not unreasonable to me, especially if it includes interior and some light paint correction. But then again that might be the going rate in your area. Check here.

Also, if you are not doing any buffing/pain correction, you can do this yourself. It's easy. It will just take you a half day or so.

Lets us know what you decide and post pics of results.

Dealer Incentives?

Finalizing a deal on a 3.0 with PP, SP, HSeat, PAsst, Alarm, USB which will be ordered to my specs. I have secured a deal at $500 below invoice which I think is a good deal especially with a custom order. However, as I read through the posts there have been other deals well below invoice. Is there additional dealer incentives that need to be considered in my negotiation?

This is a lease for 2 years with 20K with no money down and a MF of .0013.

I plan on signing on Saturday but wanted to double check if there is additional money that I should be aware of.

Appreciate any feedback. Can't wait to get the deal signed, ordered with pick up in Spartanburg.

If you have the cash available, you should consider putting down Multiple Security Deposits (MSDs) to lower your money factor, and therefore your monthly payments.

(Without knowing the exact numbers of your deal this is just an estimate, but) Making seven additional security deposits, the most allowed, you could lower your MF to just .00081., which would knock at least $40 a month off your payment.

You get the MSDs back at end of the lease, but in the mean time they'll help you lower your total lease costs by $960. If you view the reduced payments as return on the MSDs as an "investment", it would return north of 12% (tax free) per year for two years.

Susceptibility genes for cerebral infarction or hemorrhage in the Han in Hunan, China

Atherosclerosis is widely recognized as an independent risk factor for stroke, and its occurrence is closely related to lipid metabolism. numerous studies using transgenic and knockout animals have shown that scavenger receptor class B type I has a protective effect against atherosclerosis. Previous studies of scavenger receptor class B type I gene polymorphisms have focused on the exon 1 G4A polymorphism and the exon 8 C1050T polymorphism, and these polymorphic loci impact blood lipid levels and are involved in the dyslipidemia in diabetes patients. A recent study published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 16, 2013) entitled "Susceptibility gene for stroke or cerebral infarction in the Han population in Hunan Province of China" has verified that A allele frequency was significantly lower than that in normal controls. The serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with the scavenger receptor class B type I gene G4A GA + AA genotype was significantly higher, while the serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly lower than that in patients with the GG genotype, in both the atherosclerotic cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage groups. Authors believe that the G4A polymorphism of the scavenger receptor class B type I gene is a possible predisposing risk factor for atherosclerotic cerebral infarction, and that it has no association with cerebral hemorrhage in the Han population in Hunan province of China. The A allele is possibly associated with the metabolism of high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Choosing a mate: what we really want

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- While humans may pride themselves on being highly evolved, most still behave like the stereotypical Neanderthals when it comes to choosing a mate, according to research by Indiana University cognitive scientist Peter Todd. In a new study, Todd and colleagues found that though individuals may claim otherwise, beauty is the key ingredient for men while women, the much choosier of the sexes, leverage their looks for security and commitment.

This formula has served humans throughout time, with the model of choosy females reflected in most mammals, Todd and his coauthors write in "Different cognitive processes underlie human mate choices and mate preferences," which will be published the week of Sept. 4-7 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"Evolutionary theories in psychology suggest that men and women should trade off different traits in each other, and when we look at the actual mate choices people make, this is what we find evidence for," Todd said. "Ancestral individuals who made their mate choices in this way -- women trading off their attractiveness for higher quality men and men looking for any attractive women who will accept them -- would have had an evolutionary advantage in greater numbers of successful offspring."

Not exactly politically correct" Participants in Todd's study might verbally agree, though their actions said something different.

The study used a speed-dating session in Germany to compare what people say they want in a mate with whom they actually choose. Speed dating, an increasingly popular way for singles to meet, involves sessions in which men and women have numerous "mini dates" with up to 30 different people, each date lasting anywhere from three to five minutes. After every date, the men and women checked a box on a card noting whether they would like to see the other person again. Todd and his colleagues describe such speed-dating events as a "microcosm where mate choices are made sequentially in a faster and more formalized fashion than in daily life."

For Todd's study, 46 adults in a speed-dating session were also asked to fill out a questionnaire beforehand assessing themselves and their ideal mate according to evolutionarily relevant traits, such as physical attractiveness, present and future financial status, health and parenting qualities.

Not surprisingly, Todd said, participants stated they wanted to find someone who was like themselves -- a socially acceptable answer. But once the sessions began, the men sought the more attractive women and the women were drawn to material wealth and security, setting their standards according to how attractive they viewed themselves. Furthermore, while men on average wanted to see every second woman again, the women wanted to meet only a third of the men again.

While the study's results came as no surprise to Todd, the research usefulness of the speed-dating forum did. Todd and his colleagues are conducting several other speed-dating studies that could confirm the results.

"Speed dating lets us look at a large number of mate choice decisions collected in a short amount of time," Todd said. "It only captures the initial stage of the extended process involved in long-term mate choice. But that initial expression of interest is crucial for launching everything else."
