Green thumbs along with vegetable plants are flourishing at Cleveland Manor this summer.

Four raised garden beds -- that look much like tables -- now allow residents who are in wheelchairs, use walkers or have problems stooping to grow their own vegetables. Each wooden bed is divided into two, 1-foot deep gardens. Plantings include cucumber, tomato and potatoes, herbs and more, said Trudy Laufer, executor director of Cleveland Manor. The beds have irrigation systems.

The beds are situated on a large concrete pad for easy access for wheelchairs and walkers. Laufer said the area is now a popular place for residents to visit and socialize as the location provides sun and shade, depending on the time of day.

Before the beds were installed this summer, residents could garden in four large ground-level plots, she said, but they proved difficult or impossible for some residents to use. A resident suggested raised beds and Laufer wrote a grant request.

The Midland Area Community Foundation through its Healthy Youth/Healthy Seniors fund, awarded the grant, Laufer said. In addition to the raised beds, designed by Reder Landscaping, carts were purchased to help residents haul their gardening tools and plants. In addition, new chairs were purchased for the community room, where residents can hear programs about gardening as well as nutrition.

The raised beds have sparked a new interest in the ground level plots and that garden area is thriving as well, Laufer said. Cherry tomatoes already have been harvested.

A very nice villa

  • 4 of 5

This is a beautiful house in the mountains, with spacious rooms and an excellent swimming pool. It is well-stocked with almost everything you need, although we couldn't find the hair dryer, iron or coffee machine mentioned in the description. That aside, the furnishings are comfortable and the outside terrace area is a lovely, shady place to sit when the sun gets too much. There's good wifi, a huge selection of TV channels and enough pots and pans to make a gourmet dinner.

So why not 5 stars? It's little things that could be so easily remedied. The bed linen in the master bedroom was old, mismatched and didn't fit the bed properly. The towels had seen better days. When we arrived, although inside the villa was spotlessly clean, the garden area was messy. We had to clear away the cleaners mops and buckets, a ladder, and random bits and pieces left in the walkway down to the pool. The pool furniture also needed cleaning. These things took us an hour to fix, and didn't spoil our stay at all- but are down to the management of the villa. A little new investment and a greater attention to detail would make this house perfect.

We enjoyed our stay here.

Beautiful villa and surroundings

  • 5 of 5

The villa is located high up and spread over several levels with stunning sea views. I recently stayed here with my family which comprised of adults and kids of different ages and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The villa definitely met all of our requirements. The kitchen is well stocked with many gadgets and even a housed a huge selection of spices etc. The best part was the swimming pool. We could not get our kids out. The pool is very large and situated to give maximum privacy. The villa for its size has a very large and beautiful garden I have come across, and i've stayed in quite a few villas all over the world. There is ample seating space for everyone both inside and outside.

I would definitely stay here again. The agent was very prompt in meeting us at the villa even though we got lost and he spent 30mins trying to direct us over the phone. So thank you once again.

Fantastic Luxury Villa in la Cala de Mijas

  • 5 of 5

My family and I - 8 adults and one baby - stayed at this beautiful villa for a week while in La Cala de Mijas. The villa is very well maintained and has a wonderful luxury feel. As described in the listing there is a lovely pool and excellent out door furniture to relax and enjoy the Spanish weather. Every bedroom is comfortable with two en-suite and two other bathrooms. The sitting room and kitchen are very spacious and comfortable. Being from Ireland we were a little concerned about the heat and air conditioning - in this Villa there was absolutely no problems at all we were able to have it as cool as we liked. The TV had UK channels and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly everywhere in the house and all the way out side to the pool. The bed lined, towels, kitchen equipment, furniture etc was all clean and plentiful.

A car is useful for the short 5 min drive to the beach, restaurants and bars - we did not have any bad experiences at this location. The area felt safe and the security gates at the Villa were good. While the neighbors are close there is very little overlook due to the layout of the villas and how the planting has been done makes it feel very private.

The owner gave excellent customer service with great details on how to get to the villa and fast, constant communication on all of my questions via e-mail and phone which was very reassuring. The owner and the greeter could not have been more helpful or friendly.

I would recommended this property to anyone I know, if we go back to the area I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. If it was possible I would give extra stars.

Yemen still starved of food and fuel despite month-long suspension of blockade

By Oxfam
Khulood lived with her grandmother and father in Haradh area, which was subjected to heavy aerial bombardment that destroyed many facilities in the area. With acute diarrhoea and lack of health centers, the grandmother travelled to Sana’a capital two days after Khullod fell ill. Khulood received treatment for four consecutive days in Al-Saba’een hospital. The grandmother said that cholera is spreading widely in the area because of the not so good financial status of the citizens; it is difficult for them to travel to the capital for treatment. Khulood’s Grandmother said that several people from her neighbors have lost their lives due to cholera. Photo: Gabreez

Despite last month’s temporary lifting of the Saudi led-coalition blockade of Yemen’s northern ports, in the past three and a half weeks only 18 percent of the country’s monthly fuel needs and just over half its monthly food needs have been imported through these ports.

Yemen’s ports provide most of the goods the country needs to import, with 80 percent of all goods coming through Hodeida, one of the northern ports. Ninety percent of the country’s food has to be imported. The arrival of much-needed new cranes in Hodeida is very welcome and crucial to speeding up supplies through the port. But the continued restrictions of vital supplies further endanger the 8.4 million people living on the brink of famine.

Oxfam warned of a catastrophic deterioration in what is already the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and the site of the largest cholera outbreak on record. The lives of 22 million people in need of aid will continue to deteriorate if there is not a significant rise in the imports of the vital food, fuel, and medicine. On January 19th the blockade will have been lifted for a month and Oxfam is calling for all ports to remain open to the uninterrupted flow of commercial and humanitarian goods.

"Despite a month-long suspension of the blockade, millions of Yemenis are still starved of food. The U.S. must act now to prevent even further deterioration of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis,” said Scott Paul, Oxfam America Senior Humanitarian Policy Advisor. “US efforts over the past month have helped facilitate critical aid and goods into Yemen, but more must urgently be done. The US should immediately end its support for the coalition and use its leverage to push all parties toward peace and full, unfettered humanitarian and commercial access.”

While the blockade has been temporarily lifted, 190,000 tons of food arrived at the main northern ports between December 20th and January 15th, compared with the estimated monthly food needs of 350,000 tons, according to the UN, shipping agencies and port authorities. Fuel imports over the same period were 97,000 tons compared to an estimated monthly fuel need of 544,000 tons.

Fuel tankers and bulk cargo vessels of grain have docked but no container vessels have arrived, meaning that foods essential for survival, such as cooking oil, have not entered the ports for some time.

Last month the price of imported cooking oil went up by 61 percent in Al Baidha, 130 miles south east of the capital Sana’a. The price of wheat rose by 10 percent across the country over the same period. Food prices have been rising since the conflict started. In Hodeida in the west of the country, the price of barley is three times higher than it was before the conflict, maize is up nearly 140 percent in Hadramout over the same period, and the price of sorghum has doubled in Taiz.

Due to the fuel shortages and uncertainty of imports, one of Yemen’s major food companies has reduced its grain milling operations and another is struggling with milling and distributing food inside the country. Companies face arbitrary restrictions by parties to the conflict when moving food around the country.

The food and fuel import crisis is exacerbated by a collapse in the country’s currency which has seen a dramatic drop in the exchange rate from 250 rials per US dollar to 500 in recent weeks. This will put more pressure on prices and hit the poorest and the families of the estimated 1.24 million civilian servants who have not received, or only occasionally received, a salary since August 2016.

Oxfam said that not only should the blockade be permanently lifted but there should also be an end to unnecessary restrictions on cargo ships coming into port. It called for an immediate ceasefire, an end to arms sales that have been fueling the conflict, and called on backers of the war to use their influence to bring the warring parties to the negotiating table.

5th session of Pak-Turkmenistan Joint Governmental Commission held in Turkmenistan

ISLAMABAD: The 5th session of the Pakistan-Turkmenistan Joint Governmental Commission (JGC) was held in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan on 17-18 August 2017.

The session was co-chaired by Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif and Turkmenistan’s Foreign Affairs Minister Rashid Meredov.

Besides reviewing the implementation of decisions of August 2014 JGC Islamabad session, the meeting focused on trade enhancement and ways to intensify bilateral cooperation in diverse fields – including agriculture, communications, Information Technology, education, science and technology, industries, media and culture.

Pakistan and Turkmenistan are engaged in the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project, which holds huge potential to cater to Pakistan’s energy needs. The two sides would seek ways of ensuring early realisation of these projects.

The two countries are also focused on measures for enhanced connectivity, including air and land linkages to promote trade, travel, tourism and people-to-people contacts.

The visit of Kh Asif to Turkmenistan will strengthen mutual cooperation on bilateral and regional levels. It would also reinforce Pakistan’s endeavours to deepen its engagement with Central Asia and build a strong economic partnership with the region.

Bedroom accessories models are available in designs which range from traditional and traditional to modern and contemporary.

Traditional designs change from elaborate looks (think Chippendale, Queen Anne, or Victorian) towards the classic yet basic Mission-style furniture from the early 1900s. Contemporary furniture tends to be much less ornate and much more geometric with style reminiscent of the fifties, 60s, and 70s. Soft lines and sufficient upholstery often characterize the contemporary designs that followed today.

Full Frontal With Samantha Bee’s “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner” to Stream on Twitter Following TBS Premiere

<i>Full Frontal With Samantha Bee</i>’s “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner” to Stream on Twitter Following TBS Premiere

We have some stellar news for Samantha Bee fans.

Earlier today, Turner’s TBS announced that the highly anticipated, sure-to-be-awesomely-raucous Full Frontal with Samantha Bee special, titled “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” will stream on Twitter following the one-hour segment’s TBS premiere. The event itself will be taking place this Saturday, April 29, at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., with the proceedings airing later in the evening first at TBS at 10 p.m. EST and then at Twitter at 11 p.m. EST The Twitter stream will be accessible via both and the @FullFrontalSamB Twitter handle.

This is how the show’s press release described the forthcoming special:

“Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner” will finally answer the question, “What if Washington D.C.’s annual nerd prom were hosted by a lady nerd and had way more curse words? Also, what if it actually honored a free press and gave the finger to those who would try to diminish it?” And thanks to the uncensored encore Twitter stream of the special, viewers will be able to see and hear all those curses and fingers. Twitter will also serve as a hub for exclusive content from the event, including an hour-long red carpet special hosted by Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’s team of correspondents beginning at 9 p.m. (ET). And yes, #NotTheWHCD has an emoji … this #$&@ is serious.

In other words, expect more spiky, sterling satire from one of the few able heirs to Jon Stewart. If you’re anything less than sold on the idea of the special or of Samantha Bee in general, a few words from the woman herself regarding her inspiration for running a Twitter stream should change your mind: “The teens who run our social media accounts said we should do this, and honestly, I was about three margaritas in at the time, so I guess it’s happening.”

For additional updates and information on the event, follow #NotTheWHCD. As for the actual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, The Daily Show’s Hasan Minhaj is hosting—find out more on that here.

International Admissions Requirements

Complete the requirements under First-Time Students.

If you graduated in a non-English-speaking country, you are responsible to provide a certified translation of transcripts. This certification must be made by (1) a commercial certifying organization or (2) an individual with appropriate credentials in the country where you attended school. If you graduated from a homeschool or nontraditional secondary education program, see the section for Homeschool Graduates above.

International students should allow a minimum of six months to complete application procedures. PCC is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. The regular application form should be completed and returned with the Application and Reservation Fees to the Director of Admissions. The application cannot be processed until these fees are received; all payments must be in U.S. currency. International students’ accounts will be charged any handling fees assessed by a foreign bank (e.g., transfer funds, etc.). It is required by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement regulations that international students submit to the College all application forms, academic records, test scores, and proof of financial responsibility before the Immigration Form I-20 can be sent. In addition, the College requires international students to submit one semester’s tuition, room and board, fees, and one-way transportation charges from the College to the student’s home before final acceptance can be granted and the Immigration Form I-20 will be sent. Each semester must be paid in advance.

Prospective students should take either the ACT or the SAT. Non-English-speaking students are also required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Have your TOEFL test scores sent directly from the Educational Testing Service to the Director of Admissions as soon as possible. This is done automatically if you specify our college TOEFL number 5970 when you register for this test.

The expected minimum TOEFL score is as follows:

  • 500 paper-based
  • 61 Internet-based

The applicant whose TOEFL composite score is below the standard may be admitted as a provisional student under Academic Watch and be required to meet weekly with an academic advisor.

Financial Information

All payments must be in U.S. currency. International students’ accounts will be charged any handling fees assessed by a foreign bank (e.g., transfer funds, etc.). Each semester must be paid in advance.

Pensacola Christian College does not provide financial assistance for international students. Under normal circumstances, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service will not permit international students to be employed in the United States off campus to meet their financial obligations. Therefore international students should not depend on obtaining part-time employment to meet their educational expenses. International students should carefully assess their financial resources before finalizing their college plans.

If the international student is not granted admission, the tuition, room and board, and transportation payments are refundable. United States immigration regulations mandate that no international student should travel to this country without receiving his official letter of acceptance and Form I-20.

Hands on with Lenovo's new AR and VR wonders

The Explorer VR headset launches, along with the Mirage AR product and Star Wars: Jedi Challenges.

Hands on with Lenovo's new AR and VR wonders

Lenovo is the newest entrant to the VR hardware scene, and its first product has a lot going for it when stacked up against Vive and the Rift.

At a Lenovo launch event just prior to the German IFA show I spent time trying each of Lenovo's new products and the news is good, mostly.

The Explorer is a fascinating VR HMD. Number one, it's the lightest HMD on the market (Lenovo's claim) at 380g, and it's also the nicest design (my experience). The screen part of the device flips up while it remains strapped to your head - and that alone is just wonderful. It means you can easily swap in and out of reality without removing the whole HMD.

What can I do with it?

The driving factor behind the tech specs is a need for compatibility with the Microsoft Mixed Reality ecosystem. That is good, and potentially bad news. The screen resolution is an unusual 1440 x 1440 on each of the two 2.89-inch screens. This is displayed in a 110 degree field of view. That is what Microsoft demands, but the net result is a good one in terms of the image quality. It was at least as good as the Rift CV1 and Vive, despite having a lower horizontal resolution - but higher vertical res.

Refresh rate is either 60 or 90Hz. But here's the thing... Microsoft Mixed Reality dictates no user overriding of any settings, and it runs a system check on installation to determine its configuration. On a PC with integrated graphics it will scale to 1280 x 1280 @ 60Hz. Decent discrete graphics lets it run at full res at 90Hz, and there's potential to superscale at 2k per screen if your system meets Microsoft's requirements. What those are exactly I don't know, but think in terms of Vive or Rift and that's what to expect.

Hopefully there will be hacks to allow custom settings, but it all shows the strengths (ease of setup, guaranteed app performance and experience) of Microsoft's VR world, and the weaknesses (closed ecosystem, no customising of settings).

The big huge potential hit is that at the moment there is no support for Steam VR. If Microsoft do a deal with Steam, that makes Lenovo's Explorer potentially the best VR HMD going. Until then you are limited to Microsoft's vision.

[UPDATE! Not long after I wrote this Microsoft and Steam announced that they will indeed be working together. Fan-tas-tic!]

Nice huh?

It's the design and comfort that makes the Explorer so good. An important design feature is the single knob that tightens the head band. When I tried it, it shames the solutions of others, it's so simple to get it fitted right, and especially useful if you're sharing it around with friends.

Connection to the PC is via a single cable that combines HDMI and USB 3.0 and splits them at the PC end to keep things tidy. A headphone jack is in the HMD and audio is fed via the HDMI cable. I asked about potential setup hassles- ie having to switch between audio output sources when not using VR, it was explained that the Mixed Reality software manages that, but I still worry it could be painful.

It's also free of external room sensors, another marked deviation from the Rift and Vive way of doing things. The front of the HMD has forward-facing sensors built in that bathe the room with invisible pinpoints of light in the same way Microsoft Kinect does. Lenovo told me that there is no limit to the room size as a maximum, so presumably the sensor is far reaching. Lenovo recommends a minimum play area of 3m x 3m, and the generous 4m cable length should allow fairly unimpaired play.

And, it has hand wands. They look very much like the Rift's and the unit comes with a pair. They have six degrees of sensing freedom.

Positional accuracy and fidelity of the wands was superb. Faultless. But at the launch they were running from a cable, the consumer product will be Bluetooth only so I can't say for sure if my good experience will be the same - but it should, technically there's no reason it should be different.

The new VR player

Lenovo is making bold claims for its VR ambitions, a rep telling me it "was taking an aggressive stance and wants to take a leadership role" in VR.

It will initially be launched as a consumer device, but Lenovo plan to make it available in the commercial space over time. When asked if it will be an open developer platform Lenovo was a little cagey, explaining only that it will work to help introduce applications in various fields such as health and education.

It was just confirmed at the event that it will be onsale in Australia, though when, and at what price remains unannounced.

This takes the whole smartphone-powered AR/VR to a whole new level. It's a fascinating product for many reasons. Technically, it puts the smartphone above the HMD and reflects its display on mirrors to create an AR scene through the visor. That's new, and the relative complexity compared to something like the Samsung Gear VR help explain why it costs a lot more.

Lenovo will publish a list of compatible smartphones instead of having a sort of minimum spec requirement for minimum CPU/GPU. That makes sense given the wide market it will sell into. We know that the it will take screen sizes up to around 5.8 inches. Most interestingly, it will render based on the smartphone's screen resolution, so finally those 4k smartphones have a genuine use! It is compatible with both IOS and Android.

You are the Jedi

But of course the big big news is that this is the launch platform for Star Wars Jedi Challenges. That makes this AR headset effectively a single-game HMD, though in time you can expect games and experiences from other Disney franchises. Yes, it's a Disney partnership and Lenovo indicated it would stay that way for quite some time.

Regardless, this will sell its pants off. The experiences bundled with the device at launch cover three game types. There's the lightsabre battles part, which utilises the included light sabre (an exact replica of the Luke lightsabre), through which you battle six increasingly difficult villains and each has individual fighting styles. Over time as you progress, the illuminated top of the light sabre changes colour. Initially it's blue but can go full Darth red, perhaps depending on in game choices; that wasn't clear at the launch just how that works.

Then there's a strategy game. You command troops in famous Star Wars battles, like Hoth and Tatooine.

Lastly there's Holochess. Naturally. I hope this raises a new generation of young Jedi learning the satisfaction that comes from playing chess!

How it works

It's all AR, so a small tracking beacon is placed on the floor so the system knows where you are. The lightsabre connects via Bluetooth, and has rechargeable batteries.

What it's like

I honestly had lowish expectations but it was rather good. Most importantly the rendering of objects is solid and stable and clear. Caveat - the demo was set against a pure black backdrop, best conditions. Still, my fight against Kylo went well. He was a little blue and black, so perhaps colour rendering will be less than ideal. The demo used an iPhone, though which one wasn't shared. But presumably a recent model with its typically superb DPI, so what I saw was as good as it gets, thereabouts.

Kylo moved back and forth and the scaling was realistic. It was indeed like he was there with me. The FOV wasn't an issue with this game because as a slender object, a human works well as a AR subject.

He was there alone, with no world around him. So, unless there's more to it in later levels it's welcome to my living room, Darth and co.

The sabre has haptic feedback, and the constant buzzing as our beams clashed was just lovely, very helpful in creating a realistic sense of presence.

During my play the sabre beam wasn't aligned perfectly with the handset, off by about 10 degrees, but this was having a go with a big queue behind me so presumably calibration will fix that.

The sabre was a little light. A colleague suggested that adding weights as a mod would be a cool thing to do, and I agree. Still, it looks beautiful and was a thrill to hold and wield.

This will ship in October in Australia for $399, and will sell its arse off for Xmas, and deservedly. It's a Star Wars experience many have dreamed of possibly as far back as 1977. I know I have. Alas only the sabre fighting was running, I'd have loved to have played the strategy game. That must wait.

This all signals a massive shift for Lenovo, and a very exciting one. With its partnerships and massive base of technical and design expertise it's sensational to see the company commit to such cool stuff, and pull it off so well.

So, good job, Lenovo, now let's see Microsoft get in bed with Steam and for the Explorer at least, things will be just perfect!

IronKey launches secure online banking USB stick

April 28, 2010 – 6:28 AM

IronKey has launched its Trusted Access for Banking USB stick at InfoSec 2010 in London. The IronKey TAB uses an isolated virtual machine launched from the stick and a intermediate server accessed through a VPN like connection to create a secure channel from the user to IronKey’s servers, and from there to the bank’s web servers.

The solution is aimed at commercial banks and their customers who have found that malware using keyloggers on host PCs have made techniques such as two factor authentication vulnerable. IronKey say that already, in some cases, key-logging malware is monitored live for user access; the entry of security tokens can be listened in on and replicated while the token is still valid. The IronKey TAB runs a Linux based operating system which in turn runs a dedicated Firefox based browser. It takes a number of steps to prevent key-loggers from intercepting passwords and has an optional virtual keyboard for non-keyboard password entry. It also makes use of the IronKey’s integrated RSA SecurID to provide login tokens, but adds an extra, variable obfuscation to ensure that any malware spies will see an invalid token.

In some ways, the IronKey TAB is similar in intent to the process of booting a Live CD of Linux and performing banking from the read only Live CD environment, but without the need to reboot the host system and activated only when the stick is plugged in and the stick itself is not compromised. IronKey goes further than a dedicated machine or LiveCD solution by taking control of the connection to the banks servers, using a VPN like wrapper for network traffic and handling DNS requests through IronKey’s server, to avoid man in the middle or DNS manipulation based attacks. The bank can configure the device to only allow access to its own websites and those of trusted partners. The server can also block access based on IP addresses, time of day or location, a capability based on IronKey’s secure USB flash drive offerings. The system also offers remote kill or lock-out capabilities to disable lost or stolen sticks.

Time::Piece has been in Perl core since version 5.8, so you should already have it installed. If you don’t have it, you can install it via cpan at the terminal.

$ cpan Time::Piece

Create a Time::Piece object

To create a new Time::Piece object with the current system time, use new:

use Time::Piece;

my $time = Time::Piece->new;

Get a datetime string in any format

Time::Piece provides many methods for printing the datetime in common formats. For example:

$time;           # Thu Jan  9 21:21:36 2014
$time->datetime; # 2014-01-09T21:21:36
$time->date;     # 2014-01-09
$time->mdy;      # 01-09-2014
$time->fullday;  # Thursday
$time->hms;      # 21:21:36
$time->epoch;    # 1389320496 (Unix time)

If you need to get the datetime in a custom format, Time::Piece provides a “strftime” method which takes a custom string format. A complete list of formatting codes is on the man page. Here are some examples:

use Time::Piece;

my $time = Time::Piece->new;
$time->strftime('%y/%m/%d %H:%M'); # 14/01/09 21:21
$time->strftime('%y_%m_%d');       # 14_01_09
$time->strftime('%s');             # 1389320496 (Unix time)
$time->strftime('%Y %y %G %g');    # 2014 14 2014 14 (4 different years,really)

Read a datetime string in any format

Time::Piece also provides a strptime method which takes a string, and a string format and initializes a new Time::Piece object with that datetime. If either the date or time component is missing, Time::Piece assumes the current date or time. Here are some examples:

use Time::Piece;

my $yesterday    = Time::Piece->strptime('01-08-2014', '%m-%d-%Y');
my $yesterdayDMY = Time::Piece->strptime('08-01-14', '%d-%m-%y');
my $lunchhour24  = Time::Piece->strptime('12:30', '%H:%M');
my $bedtime      = Time::Piece->strptime('12:30 AM', '%l:%M %p');

# epoch - no problem
my $from_epoch   = Time::Piece->strptime(1501615857, '%s');

# timezones are easy too
my $utc_datetime = Time::Piece->strptime('Mon, 19 Jan 2015 14:56:20 +0000','%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z');
my $eastern_datetime = Time::Piece->strptime('2015-10-05T09:34:19 -0400','%Y-%m-%dT%T %z');
my $pacific_datetime = Time::Piece->strptime('2015-10-05T09:34:19 -0700','%Y-%m-%dT%T %z');

Warning Time::Piece fails to parse timezones with semicolons in them. To handle that, just remove the semicolon from the timezone before passing it to strptime:

use Time::Piece;

my $datetime = '2015-10-05T09:34:19 -04:00';
$datetime    =~ s/([+\-]\d\d):(\d\d)/$1$2;
my $dt       = Time::Piece->strptime($datetime, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S %z");

strptime uses the same formatting codes as strftime, you can get the full list here.

Compare datetimes

This is easy. Just initialize two Time::Piece objects and compare them with an operator (<, <=, ==, >=, > and <=>). For example:

use Time::Piece;

my $today = Time::Piece->new;
my $yesterday = Time::Piece->strptime('01/08/2014', '%m/%d/%Y');

if ($today > $yesterday) {

Datetime math

The first thing to know is that Time::Piece objects are immutable so any operation performed on them will return a new object.

Time::Piece provides a couple of methods for adding months and years (“add_months”, “add_years”) from Time::Piece objects. Simply use a negative integer to subtract. For example:

use Time::Piece;

my $datetime = Time::Piece->new;
my $nextMonth   = $datetime->add_months(1);   # plus one month
my $lastQuarter = $datetime->add_months(-3);  # minus three months
my $nextDecade  = $datetime->add_years(10);   # plus 10 years
my $lastYear    = $datetime->add_years(-1);   # minus 1 year

You’ll often need more granular control over the datetime, and that’s where the Time::Seconds module comes in. Just include it in your program, and it will export several constants which can be used to adjust the datetime. The constants are: ONE_MINUTE, ONE_HOUR, ONE_DAY, ONE_WEEK, ONE_MONTH, ONE_YEAR, ONE_FINANCIAL_MONTH, LEAP_YEAR, NON_LEAP_YEAR.

Let’s see how to use the constants:

use Time::Piece;
use Time::Seconds;

my $time = Time::Piece->new;
my $tomorrow  = $time + ONE_DAY;
my $lastWeek  = $time - ONE_WEEK;
my $lastMonth = $time - ONE_MONTH;

If you need to change the datetime by seconds, with you can simply use integer arithmetic.

use Time::Piece;

my $now = Time::Piece->new;
my $30SecondsAgo = $now - 30;

Time::Piece has excellent documentation, you can read it on the command line with perldoc:

$ perldoc Time::Piece

Updated: Added timezone strptime example 2015-01-28. Added timezone semicolon handling 2016-03-17.

• Autumn Planting (Spring Flowering) bulbs are not available at present. They can be ordered from April. In the meantime, why not add your favourites to your wishlist ready to transfer to your shopping basket later?

Kaufmanniana-Greigii Tulips

  • Add to wishlist
    Tulip Ancilla

    Tulip Ancilla

    Not In Season

  • Kaufmanniana and Greigii come under the Botanical Tulips or Specie Tulips category. What they lack in colour choice they more than make up for with their early flowering.  Predominantly reds and yellows, the leaves have beautiful mottling of purple brown which contrast with the flowers which are held on short stems. Kaufmanniana and Greigii Tulips are ideal for the rockery, front of border or containers.

    All Tulips are excellent for cut flowers, except the shorter species varieties. Bulb size between 11/12 cm and 12/+ cm.

I was recently having coffee with a would-have-been client turned friend from many years ago. I was ribbing her a little bit on having selected a different photographer. I was never actually offended by her decision to work with someone else, we just have that kind of relationship. I’ve seen her images, they are beautiful. But, as I learned during our conversation, she wasn’t happy with them. I asked her why and what she said actually kind of surprised me.

I’m seeing this wonderful variety of mostly excellent images, and there she is seemingly looking for stuff that was wrong with the photos. My very first thought was that we’d dodged a bullet–I’d hate to have worked really hard for a client only to have them ruthlessly nitpick all of it. But I kept that thought to myself and tried to understand what was really going on.

When I started pointing out how nice some of the images were, she spilled the beans that their photographer had just been kind of a jerk to them and their family. I think she hesitated to recount the true story because, having gotten to know me since then, she knew that wouldn’t have happened if she’d been working with us. Live and learn. She described her photographer’s demeanor as selfish, saying that it seemed like all she cared about was filling her portfolio. The photographer wasn’t interested in taking requests from family or friends. She was just plain inconsiderate and only wanted to do her own thing at the expense of my friend’s ability to enjoy what she was creating.

So there I was with a kind of epiphany. My friend had a set of beautiful photographs, but all they were doing was serving to remind her how her photographer made her feel: Not good.

Everyone knows what they think they’re looking for in a wedding photographer. Beautiful images. Obviously. But what if that’s not actually the most important thing?

Let me preface this by saying, obviously, you don’t want no images. And you don’t want images that make you look terrible. There’s a baseline of skill we’re assuming of any photographer you might consider. So no, you should not expect to be happy in the long run with the photos your cousin takes with the new smartphone she got for christmas, as tempting as it may be to save a couple thousand dollars. It’s just not that realistic. But everyone kind of knows that and if that’s the decision you make, you’ve probably thought it through and decided that’s what’s best for you. I digress.

See, what I learned from my friend’s experience, is that the way you feel about your images will be influenced by what it took to create them. You can have a really gorgeous image, but if you had to miss a couple hours of your reception to get it, or the photographer who created it was really rude to your grandmother or something, it’s always going to carry a sour taste.

So, while photographers love to espouse that it’s all about the image, that’s not exactly true. The experience leading up to and on the wedding day matters almost just as much as the images themselves.

So, while you might be fixated on finding someone with excellent images or a good price, there are other skills (depending on your personality) that your photographer needs to have. You should raise these 10 basic skills much higher on your list of priorities for your photographer. Maybe as high as the images themselves.

Patience: Because you might need more help than you think.
Responsiveness: Because it’s frustrating to talk to the wind.
Empathy: Because you need to be understood.
Creativity: Because creating beautiful images is more than just pointing a camera.
Foresight: Because the same kinds of things tend to go wrong.
Tough love: Because sometimes your expectations are unrealistic.
Flexibility: Because plans change.
Insight: Because the biggest problems and best solutions are not always obvious at first.
Punctuality: Because the whole wedding day is relying on it.
Pragmatism: Because sometimes tradeoffs have to be made and you want to make the best ones you can.

Developing new medicines

Globally, our scientists are committed to transforming molecules to medicines in order to improve the lives of millions of people around the world.

In recent years, we have evaluated and improved our research and development (R&D) methods in order to deliver patients a sustainable flow of important new medicines and vaccines. As a result, globally, as of 31st October 2017, we had 28 phase 3 clinical trials in progress.1

Source: Pfizer data on file.
Note: This Pfizer Pipline Snapshot is updated 4 times a year.

Pfizer, as a global organisation,  collaborates with scientists, technicians, regulatory professionals and business experts across the world, including those in the UK, to find and develop the next generation of innovative medicines for patients.

As part of our approach, we also work with other innovators across the health landscape including academic scientists, patient organisations, governments, other biopharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals.

We focus our efforts in core areas where we are best positioned to develop unique medicines for much needed therapies. This includes chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, vaccines, oncology, neuroscience and pain, cardiovascular and metabolic disease and rare diseases.

The medicine development cycle

Did you know, on average, it takes around 12 years and more than £1.15bn to develop each new medicine?2 Moreover, for every 10-20 medicines identified in the laboratory, only one will ever reach patients - the others will fail along the way.2 However, research is a continual cycle and the knowledge and resources we gain from trial we do, helps inform and drive the next generation of science.

Psst, I make money on some of the links in this post at no cost to you. It keeps the lights on around here. Amazon links are affiliate.

What a week! I can’t believe it’s February already.

This was a tough week, but I think we recovered okay. We had a few stumbles with our homemade meals, but we’re working on it!

See what we ate this week and how much it cost. Did you try a cool new recipe this week? Share in the comments!

P.S. Be sure to check out The Picky Pinchers Cookbook

Breakfast: Strawberry banana smoothie.

I fell in love with the strawberry banana smoothie I found at this site. I excitedly woke up to make the smoothies and … realized I forgot to buy bananas.

Y’all. Do you know how many bananas I eat in a week? I eat an entire bunch of them by myself. I was mad that I forgot to order bananas during last week’s curbside grocery experiment. It’s yet another reason why I won’t use curbside again!

Anyway, I had to think fast. I threw strawberries, avocado, Vital Proteins Collagen (Amazon link here), honey, mango, and lots of spinach into the blender. It came out pretty good, but it was no strawberry banana smoothie. Sigh.

Lunch: Barbecue leftovers. We hosted a family cookout last weekend and dined on the tasty leftovers today.

Dinner: Brisket tostadas with beans, cheese, and pickled jalapenos.

We kept it simple today by repurposing leftovers from the weekend. I cubed the brisket and reheated Mr. Picky Pincher’s famous pinto beans. I layered beans, cheese, chopped brisket, pickled jalapenos, and hot sauce on tostada shells bought for $1 at our Michoacana (a Latino grocery store).

I baked them in the oven at 400 degrees until the cheese was nice ‘n’ melty. This is such an easy meal and I love that it lets us repurpose leftovers in an exciting, new way.

Breakfast: Cauliflower breakfast hash. This is a version of a dish Mr. Picky Pincher had on our trip to San Francisco last month. I season cauliflower with paprika, salt, and pepper and bake it with peppers and onions.

Typically I’ll pair the hash with scrambled eggs or sausage, but I was feeling lazy.

Fun fact: this dish makes your house smell like farts for the rest of the day.

Lunch: Leftover tostadas.

Dinner: Subway.

I fully planned on cooking roasted sausage and veggies for dinner today. However, I was called into a surprise two-hour meeting at work and wasn’t able to start roasting everything at 4 pm, like I’d planned.

Nothing else was defrosted, so we opted for Subway sandwiches. We paid in cash using the money earned from selling our bikes on Craigslist a few weeks ago, and paired it with a coupon for two meal deals.

Once we got home, I cooked the sausage and veggie bake to ensure we’d have a dinner ready to go later this week. 🙂

Breakfast: Dutch baby.

Gotta love Dutch babies! A Dutch baby is a fluffy, egg-based pancake that tastes like a crusty crepe. But, like, in a good way.

Last time I made just one Dutch baby and split it between the hubs and myself. We were both hungry afterwards, so this time I made two Dutch babies. I admit it was a challenge, since it takes 15 minutes to cook one. I made sure I preheated my oven as soon as I woke up, and pre-mixed my batter. I’m proud to say we both got breakfast on time. 🙂

We were woefully low on toppings and fruit for the Dutch babies. I think poor Mr. Picky Pincher put cashew butter on his; I used three lonely leftover strawberries on mine. Sorry honey!

Lunch: Scrounge! We didn’t get enough Subway sandwiches for leftovers, so it was every Pincher for themselves today. I reheated a freezer portion of fried rice and called it a day.

Dinner: Sausage and veggie bake.

Finally! I’m so glad I pre-cooked this meal the night before, y’all. I got called into yet another unexpected long call for work and had zero time/patience to cook anything elaborate.

Luckily for me, my Past Self had cooked this meal. I just had to zap it in the microwave and it was good to go.

Breakfast: Oatmeal. Keepin’ it nice and simple with a bowl of oatmeal. We like to top our oatmeal with toasted coconut, home-dried raisins, and occasionally a hit of honey.

Lunch: Leftover sausage and veggie bake.

Dinner: Asian zoodle soup.

This is a meal we made up last month. I distinctly remember hating it, but hubs said he liked it, so I decided to give it a second try.

I put together the soup broth with homemade chicken stock and added a few scoops of Vital Proteins Collagen to it (Amazon link here). I stirred in oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha to give the stock flavor.

I then cooked two chicken breasts and cubed them. I added chopped carrots, onions, and bell peppers to the stock. I also boiled my butternut squash noodles in the stock and removed them once they were cooked (you have to stop them from cooking or they turn to mush!).

I stirred in whisked eggs to make an egg drop soup kinda thing for extra protein. I topped the whole affair with cilantro.

Guys, there was nothing wrong with this meal. But there’s something about it that I just don’t like. I ate it, but I wasn’t happy about it. Mr. Picky Pincher got through his entire bowl before declaring he wasn’t a fan of it either. Again, we’re not sure why, but it’s not our jam.

I saved as much of the ingredients as I could so we could repurpose them. No more zoodle soup here!

Breakfast: Sweet potato waffles with sausage. I cooked these sweet potato waffles weeks ago and had forgotten about them. After a routine digging through the freezer, I put them on the menu to use up the last of the sweet potato waffles.

I topped the waffles with our sausage patties. I cooked a mondo-huge batch of these a few weeks ago and froze them. I just had to defrost a few patties in the microwave and we were in business.

I put hot sauce on mine because of course I did. 🙂

Lunch: Scrounge! We don’t want to have zoodle soup again, so we’ll scrounge for lunch. I saved the cubed chicken from last night, so methinks we’ll make chicken sandwiches.

Dinner: Strip steak with brussels sprouts and orzo. Hom nom nom! We were supposed to make this meal on Wednesday, but pushed it to today with all the craziness.

Zap has a followup appointment with the vet today and hubs will take him. We’re hoping to get a clean bill of health for his ear infection. 🙂 After that, hubs will grill the steaks.

I opted for frozen brussels sprouts after realizing they were half the cost of fresh sprouts per pound. If we can’t tell a difference, we’ll continue to buy frozen ones.

Tonight we also have a sausage-making class at Central Market! They’re technically feeding us dinner, but in my experience, that doesn’t happen until 8 pm. We’ll eat dinner as usual and then take any uneaten sausage home with us. We’re hoping to really get the sausage-making technique down from the pros!

The upside? They’re also teaching us how to pair sausage with beer, and that means lots of beer for the Picky Pinchers. 🙂

Grocery Costs

Let’s see what we spent this week!

On sale: $2.43

Coupons: $1.00

Total: $179.49

Goals for next week

I know our total was high here. This included ingredients like brisket that we used for last week’s cookout. This shopping trip also happened right before I crunched the numbers and realized we were spending A LOT of money on food.

We’ve planned out all the meals for February so there are no surprises. We’re even cooking freezer meals galore this weekend to ensure takeout surprises don’t happen.

However! Our grocery total probably won’t be low next week. Why, you ask? Because we’re only buying meat once a month, at the beginning of the month. This keeps us from buying meat we don’t need and ensures we eat what we have on hand first. We calculated the amount of meat we’ll need for the month and should be just fine. But that does mean that next week’s bill will be higher because of meat costs. After that I expect it to even out. 🙂

My goals for next week are to stick with the meal plan and course-correct with freezer meals when things don’t work out.

Also, If you’re interested in our grocery shopping system, I go over it in depth in this eBook.

This week’s video

This is a new section for our What’s for Dinner? post! I’ve started putting out new videos on the Picky Pinchers YouTube channel every Wednesday (you’re subscribed, right?).

Check out this week’s video! Excuse the poor quality in some parts. I’m learning how to film and edit and I’ve had some roadbumps.

We want to know: How did you save or spend money this week?

Secondary Ignition System With PicoScope

Postby Guest » Wed Apr 07, 2004 9:29 pm

I buy a picoscope for automotive in years 2000 i diagnostic and i blow it 3 time on secondary ignition system defect( spark jump), and the pico enterprise repair it 3 time for free of charge exept i have trouble for get free of charge

if you buy a vantage Snap-on you have the garanty is good for automotive and long life warranty and the price is probable better with full accessory you need and i have diagnostic of 1000 cars and i never blow snap-on vantage or fluke or Sun-450 on Secondary ignition system bad¸

and you do not need buy a special software for diagnostic automotive is include in the oscilloscope hardware

the cost of picoscope is 1200$ US is really big

Where is my picoscope now is in the drawer and i have scare of use it because the garanty is end if i use it is only for test RC-Cars

and the time to deploy the equipment is too big relative too all others
and where you put the Laptop PC on the hood ? in the top of cars ? PC is a computer and is breakable

any way a recommand pico tech only for play and i im a specialist

Do you know what is ABROLLER AS SEEN as TV is equal AS SEEN on TV
or the Cleaner C.L.R AS SEEN on TV, the betters is the Steam-Matic machine as SEEN ON TV any way a good product i dont seen on tv ?

dont make the same error i made if your are a professionnal buy a professionnal with good market place ex snap-on, otc, Fluke

Postby Autonerdz » Thu Apr 08, 2004 5:51 pm

Hi Guest,

I'm sorry your experience with PicoScope has been less than satisfying. I would be the first to tell you the PicoScope is not for everyone. Just as different instruments have different limitations, so operators to also.

I have techs in my group using PicoScope in a professional automotive setting on five continents. No one has ever said that are not pleased with it. Many have them set up on a diagnostic cart with leads at the ready. Some of them have many other hand held units, but they gather dust. The Pico is so much more powerful.

All automotive diagnostic techs need to have a good lab scope and the skill to use it effectively. The best scope available is of no use though, if the tech cannot get it to do what thay want. What might be a great scope for one, may not be for another. Choosing the right instrument is just as much about the user as it is the scope.

You mention the Vantage. It's not a scope. It's a great tool though, and many are pleased with it. It all depends on what you want it to do, your skill level, and if you are comfortable with it. There is no comparison between the Pico and the Vantage. They are diffenent tools.

In the right hands, and with a little practice and guidance, PicoScope provides a detail and resolution of electrical signals on the automobile that is unprecedented in the industry.

You can blow up any scope by feeding tens of thousands of volts into it from a secondary ignition. These are precision instruments that require a bit of caution during hook up. If you have spark jumping out of the wires, you don't need a scope to diagnose the vehicle.

The supplied secondary leads in the Automotive kit, when properly connected, are designed to shunt any accidental spark to the pickup to ground before it enters the ADC unit. Still, a certain care must be used.

Piezoelectric Objective Lens Positioning System: MIPOS 20

  • 20 µm adjustment range
  • Sub-nm resolution
  • Very compact design
  • Parallelogram construction
  • High resonant frequency
  • Easy to fix onto microscopes by Flex-Adapter

The piezoelectric objective lens positioning system MIPOS series were developed for finely adjusting microscope objectives and object lenses. The maximum motion is 20 µm. The resolution of MIPOS 20 is very high and, in practice, only limited by the voltage noise of the power supply.

A special integrated preload design results in the following advantages:

  • Very small angular deviation
  • Highly parallel large range motion
  • High resonant frequency

All standard threads for Zeiss, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, Mitutoyo etc. are available for the top and bottom sides of the MIPOS series.

Mounting this system onto the microscope is very easy - screw the Flex-Adapter thread ring into the microscope and mount the MIPOS on this ring with a clamping screw. Because of the small size, no other threads beside the MIPOS are blocked.
To avoid drift and hysteresis, the piezoelectric objective lens positioning system MIPOS elements are also available with an integrated strain gauge measurement system "SG".

The Pinky Swear Story

Mitch was nine years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. When he was in the hospital in December, he overheard the family next to him having a discussion that there would not be enough money for Christmas that year.

Mitch looked at his dad and said, "This isn't fair. How much money do I have in the bank?" His Dad, Steve, replied that he wasn’t sure, but they could find out. Mitch insisted that they go get it.

Steve helped Mitch into his wheelchair and took him to the bank. Mitch withdrew all the money he had in his savings account and put it envelopes for the kids on the pediatric oncology floor at the hospital. He signed each envelope, "Love Mitch. XOXOXO"

Steve and Mitch returned to the hospital and delivered the envelopes by putting them on nightstands, under doors and on beds. As they were leaving the last room, Mitch exclaimed to his dad, "Dad, that is the most fun I have ever had! Let’s do it again next year!"

Steve sadly replied, "Mitch, you are probably not going to be here next year." Unfortunately, Mitch's prognosis was not good.

Mitch asked his dad to do it again next year and Steve agreed.

Mitch looked at his father and said, "Dad, promise me you will keep helping kids with cancer! Pinky swear with me that you will do it forever!"

Steve did a pinky swear with Mitch to help kids with cancer as long as he lives. Mitch passed away on April 11 the following spring. The Pinky Swear Foundation was formed. We exist today because of that pinky swear!
