AAEON partners Everlight for Taipei’s smart street light system

August 01, 2018 // By Julien Happich
AAEON joined with Everlight Electronics to participate at Taipei City Government’s "Innovative Works Smart Taipei Taipei LED Street Light Results Presentation."

The presentation showcased the latest smart street light solutions and highlighted the work being done to turn the city into a global leader for cost-effective energy efficiency.

The city government is currently engaged in the "Taipei LED Lighting Installation Appointment Project," a two-year scheme which is scheduled to be completed during the current quarter. As part of the project, the city’s streetlights are being replaced with new LED systems that use 20% less electricity than previous installations.

At the same time, the world’s first interactive smart light poles are being installed throughout the city. The AAEON-developed technology uses existing power lines and wireless data transmission architectures such as NB-IoT, LoRa, and Zigbee to provide an integrated, diversified framework that can serve as the foundation of future smart city systems.

"AAEON is committed to the development of smart street lamps,” said AAEON New Business Development Division senior consultant Steve Hsu. “By combining smart street lamps with smart light poles, we have been able to make smart city solutions more complete.”

“Our remote control platform combines AI edge and cloud computing to improve the transmission and analysis of data from the entire system. As a result, in addition to improving street lamps’ energy efficiency, we can quickly provide accurate and insightful data reference materials for energy use and environmental impact," Hsu added.

By using the remote platform to monitor street lighting equipment, the city will be able to cut maintenance costs. Additionally, AAEON’s smart lampposts can be used to monitor air quality and traffic levels, support interactive multimedia interfaces, and also provide additional functions including Internet hotspots, equipment charging stations, and even interactive video games.

Bosch Diswasher Error Codes

Updated February 21, 2017

Bosch dishwashers must run a maintenance test to see if any errors have occurred. Once this test is run, a code will display on the LCD screen. You use this code to determine any problems or repairs that the dishwasher needs.

Hold the "Rinse" and "Regular Wash" buttons at the same time. Press the "On" switch and the lights will flash on the dishwasher. Press the "Rinse" and "Regular Wash" buttons again to activate the test mode. The dishwasher will go through a regular cycle and then a message will appear.

If a "0" code appears after testing, then there are no problems with the dishwasher. Simply press the "Off" button and testing mode will complete.

Codes "2" and "8" indicate heating problems with the dishwasher. Code "2" means that there's a general heating fault and the dishwasher heating element needs replacement. Code "8" means that the internal temperature sensor has shorted out and no longer operates.

The amount of water fill can cause two errors. Error "4" means there's a fill problem, where the water is filling too much or too little. There could also be a block in the dishwasher drain. Some models will display "F," which is the same error.

Bosch dishwashers use a water filter process known as the Aqua Sensor. When this fails to filter water or operate, the "1" error appears on the dishwasher. Replace your Aqua Sensor to correct this error.

What colour to paint a stairway and hallway

Updated April 17, 2017

Stairways and hallways are small transition areas that many homeowners overlook. Yet because relatively little time is spent in them, they are excellent spaces in which to experiment with colour and light. A look that might be considered garish in a large living room can provide a pleasing accent in a hallway or stairway. Choose a colour scheme based on the size and location of the space, the look and feel of the rest of the house and the amount of available light.

Size and location

The size and location of the space can help you narrow down colour selections. Consider the mood of the space as well as the rooms it connects to. Are you painting a wide grand staircase that serves as a focal point for your home? Consider luxurious warm colours such as cream or rose, accented with gold or silver. Does your narrow hallway lead to the bedrooms? Consider an inviting yet soothing colour such as pastel blue. Do your stairs lead to the dark, dank basement? Warm up the staircase with sunshine yellow.

Look and feel

Eclectic decorating is chic, so there is no need to make the entire house match. Nonetheless, smooth transitions are generally preferable to jarring changes. What can you see from the hallway or stairway? A subtle colour wash or other faux finish can blend the transition between rooms of very different colours. Do you have furniture in the hallway and, if so, of what style? Country casual furniture pairs well with lighter colours, while massive, dark wood pieces look terrific against bold jewel tones. If your home is sleekly contemporary in style, consider a monochromatic hallway or stairway.

Available light

Many hallways and stairways are dimly lit, receiving little or no natural light. Avoid subtle faux finishes, which may be difficult to see in a relatively dim space. For safety, consider contrasting colours that clearly delineate hand rails, stairs and other features. Or consider adding chandeliers, up-lights or other dramatic lighting effects. Metallic colours and high-gloss finishes reflect a great deal of light and look stunning under focused lighting.

Trust your judgment

There is no right or wrong way to paint a hallway or stairway. Spend a bit of time perusing the paint department at your local DIY centre. Collect free paint chips in your favourite colours, and tape them to the wall that you intend to paint. Mix and match various colours for the ceiling, walls and trim. Live with the paint samples for several days, noting how the colours change with different lighting.

  • Office Lighting Controls Optimized for Occupancy

    The other night — somewhere between midnight and 1 AM — I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Figured I might as well burn a little midnight oil and make productive use of my insomnia.

    Our hallways are lit with tiny LEDs embedded in the power outlets to cut down on stubbed toes. In the kitchen, soft lighting over the stove and sink allow even sleep-encrusted eyes to find the ON switch to my coffee pot.

  • Energy Efficient Warehouse Lighting

    Over the past 3 decades as an electrician (and more as a warehouse worker), I've seen a lot of lighting schemes. And I've watched in interest as lighting has evolved from bare incandescent bulbs and HID lamp to modern LED luminaires.

    Back in the day, incandescent lighting produced a lot of shadows... and heat. It was the nature of the beast, unfortunately. Not to mention that most of the money spent on lighting energy was more or less wasted on heat, not light.

  • Specifying Flexible Conduit with Extreme Temperatures in Mind

    Most electrical wiring and conduits operate within a “comfortable” range of operating temperatures, but there are also many others that experience either extremely low or high temperatures or both. All of these cases require conduits specially designed to deliver their rated performance, including flexibility and protection, under conditions beyond those of standard types.

Lulu's back in town!

This is my view as I sit here laboring hour after hour after hour! (You believe that, don't you?) Well, okay, the laboring part may be exaggerated, but this is my view.

My friend L. is in town for a few days, visiting from the snowy wastelands of the north, where I cannot imagine living, being the summer, sunshine-loving baby that I am. She has a very serious job, requiring very serious clothes (for which she earns a pretty serious amount of $$$), & I don't think she'd want me to actually give her real name. So I'm christening her Lulu. Because I KNOW there's a Lulu inside - I'm privy to the information that she has a pierced belly button underneath those serious business clothes! I KNOW the Lulu in her wants out & wants more COLOR & more fun! I mean, this is the person who sends me pedicure accessories covered with skulls & crossbones wearing bows atop their pretty little skulls! Who bought me that little pink ducky with hearts to float in the tub, when I refused to spend the 2 bucks for it! The tissue paper she includes with gifts makes me as happy as the gifts! Yes, I admit it , I'm pretty easy to please - I was always a cheap date - but there's a lurking Lulu I intend to cajole into the open!

All of which puts me in this kind of mood!

Eritrean aid group calls for probe into massacre of navy members - Sudan Tribune: Plural news and views on Sudan

By Tesfa-Alem Tekle
August 25, 2013 (ADDIS ABABA) - An Eritrean relief association in exile has called on the international community to immediately intervene in the recent mass murders of Eritrean navy members.
Based in Ethiopia, the Red Sea Afar Relief Association (RSARA) accused the international community of turning blind eye to the atrocities committed by the Eritrean government against ethnic Afar minorities.
Some 108 Afar members of the Eritrean navy were massacred this month by the country’s border security guards along the Yemen coastline as they attempted to escape.
The navy officers were fleeing the dictatorial Asmara regime’s harsh military policies, which include forced conscription and indefinite service.
At a meeting held in Addis Ababa on Sunday, the RSARA called on the international community to condemn the massacre and press for an immediate investigation into the slayings.
“RSARA takes this opportunity to appeal on the international community at large and [the] international donor community to accuse the ongoing atrocities against the Red Sea Afar”, RSARA said.
Eritrean opposition group, Red Sea Afar Democratic Organisation (RSADO) has described the killings as a “brutal genocide”.
It provided Sudan Tribune name with the names 30 ethnic Afar navy members alleged to have been killed by security forces recently.
The victims’ bodies were reportedly found along the Red Sea coast in the areas of Galalo, Marsa, Fatuma, Harena and Pori.
RSARA was established in Ethiopia one-and-a-half years ago to provide moral support and humanitarian assistance to Eritrean Afar refugees being sheltered at three camps in Ethiopia’s Afar region, close to the Eritrean border.
The association is currently operating in collaboration with the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) with Ethiopia’s Administration for Refugees and Returnees Affairs (ARRA), as well as number of international NGOs providing support through the regional Afar Pastoralist Development Association (APDA).
“We further appeal to support the existing efforts being made by RSARA in addressing the humanitarian suffering”, RSARA added.
RSADO opposition leader Ibrahim Haron accused the international community of ignoring the atrocities committed against the Afar people.
“We held the meeting to send a message to the world that the ethnic cleansing policy against Afars has continued”, Haron told Sudan Tribune adding more serious steps needed to be taken in addressing the issue.
Opposition officials say Afar people living in Eritrea, also known as Red Sea Afars, are routinely subjected to neglect, discrimination, repression, displacement, and in recent years to a campaign of ethnic cleansing particularly after the 1998-2000 border war between Ethiopia and Eritrea.
With the border dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea as yet unresolved, relations between the two countries remains tense.
The Eritrean government suspects its own Afar people of aligning themselves with their fellow Ethiopian Afars.
Opposition officials allege that hundreds of Afars were killed by Eritrean government on suspicion they were spying for Ethiopia.
The Afar are an indigenous pastoralist nomadic people inhabiting a triangular region spanning Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti. Most continue their traditional way of life and are engaged in animal husbandry, fishing, trade and salt mining.

• Sensor Unique Dimmer Numbers

    What are Unique Dimmer Numbers?

    Sensor Unique Dimmer Numbers (UD#'s) are a new addressing scheme introduced with Sensor version 3.0 software.  Unique dimmer numbers allow multi-rack systems to reference discreet, absolute dimmers beyond 512.  In 2.x versions of CEM code, you merely entered a Starting Address for a rack (much like an MPE, a moving light, or an L86 pack).  In 3.x code, Each Physical Dimmer in the system is assigned a Unique Dimmer number.  A UD# can only be used once (hence the term Unique).

    Sometimes it is helpful to relate them to circuits.  In a large performing arts center, I may have 864 circuits, spread over nine Sensor racks.  Each circuit has a number on it, so that I know what is being plugged in where, and so I can patch it at the console.  Each of those circuits just has a number, not a DMX control address.  DMX-to-Dimmer control is determined at the rack. I will need two DMX Universes to control these racks, as DMX512 has only, 512 addresses.  Unique Dimmer Numbers allow me to address these dimmers using true DMX512 addresses, without any offset math.

    This is Better?

    That depends on who you talk to.  For small-to-medium touring situations, some people like the simplicity of CEM 2.x software, as it allows you to quickly change the addressing of the rack, and it displays the starting DMX address on the main CEM display screen.  Note: that this is not as much of an issue with CEM 3.11 code, as you can set the 1st UD when running Generate Defaults, as many tours do.

    For touring situations where the rack needs to be discreetly split, CEM 3.x is far far superior (see article S50-R1K-LB7Y How Can I Split a Sensor Rack via its DMX512 Ports?
     S50-R1K-LB7Y How Can I Split a Sensor Rack via its DMX512 Ports?  for more info).

    For large installations, CEM 3.x is better, as the split between DMX Universe 1 and Universe 2 is much easier to work with.  Also, you can change addressing of the rack, but there is always a hard reference.  The UD# matches the sticker next to it, and isn't affected by a change in addressing.  This makes error trend reporting much more reliable.

    So What About the Equation SA-PS+1=DMX Address 1st Physical Dimmer?

    That equation is for use with 2.x software only.  It does not apply to 3.x software.  Tuck it away in your brain in case you need it again (hopefully you won't.)

    I have a System that Doesn't Need That.

    That's fine.  If you set the DMX mode to be "Standard", the UD's fall into place without any problem.  You set up a Start Address for each rack (automatic in SenEdit), and it applies this start address to the first UD# in the rack.  In most cases, the UD# and DMX address are the same.

    When I Set Ports in Advanced Mode, It Prompts Me for "First Dimmer"

    This is the first UD# in the rack affected by the Start Address of the port.  I have an SR6, and I want port A to only affect the first 6 dimmers, and port B to only affect the last 6.  Both sources use dimmer numbers 1-6 to affect these dimmers:

    Port APort B
    Start 1Start 1
    End 6End 6
    1st Dim 11st Dim 7

    Although it can make things a little more confusing, UD#'s allow you more flexibility in addressing.

10 Actionable Cabin Crew Interview Tips (That Actually Work)

Sunday, February 7, 2016

10 Actionable Cabin Crew Interview Tips (That Actually Work)

The cabin crew interview - assessment day is a very stressful event, especially for the first time. Only a few people go to the recruitment day relaxed, confident and knowing what to expect and how to stand out from the crowd. These tips apply for every airline out there (Etihad Airways, Emirates, Qatar airways and so on...). Be advised to take the following tips accordingly to increase your chance of becoming an award-winning cabin crew.

How to prepare for cabin crew interview?

Tip #  1: Dress appropriately

Keep in mind you are interviewing for an airline, and they put a high value on first impressions and appearance at all times. So you gotta dress professionally. Wear a business-like skirt suit with an average, but comfortably high heel and some mascara and lipstick for ladies.

For men: Go for a suit with a collared shirt and a tie with polished shoes. Stick with the black and dark color suits or you can stand out by wearing the grey one which is worn by Etihad cabin crew males. If you don't have any of that you can always rent some from a friend.

Tip # 2: Do not talk negatively about your previous or current employer

Negativity can bring your interview to a disaster so keep a positive attitude no matter the circumstances. Badmouthing your current or previous employers makes the assessor think that you would do the same for their company and trust me that's a deal-breaker point. Unfortunately, candidates do that when they go to their assessment day. Keep the conversation short and give always a diplomatic and neutral answer. If they asked why did you leave your previous job? Reply with the most diplomatic and reasonable answer based on your life. whether it was for school or you had to take care of a family member.

For instance; Do not answer it with: ' I left my previous "COMPANY Z" because it was too much work and I got bored. My co-workers didn't comply with the regulations and it was always blamed on me when we got caught not working ' NO!.
A diplomatic answer is: 'I enjoyed my time at "COMPANY Z". I joined them right after graduation and I was pleased to work with them this whole time, although it was time for me to continue my graduate studies and I was looking for a job that will give me a chance to be flexible with my working hours while attending school at the time'.

Tip # 3: Listen to the interviewers and take notes of important things!

During the first session, you would be given the 'house rules': which groups go first, cellphone policy, what liquids you are allowed to bring in, what papers need to be filled in, etc.
At the beginning of every task, the interviewer will give you a set of instructions. Listen very carefully and take notes that you can consult later. There will be important information given to you at the most unexpected times. Not paying attention is a disrespectful attitude towards your assessors and shows no real interest in the company and the entire assessment process.

Tip # 4: Interacting with other candidates

You have to become very comfortable during your assessment day, everything you say and do is of a specific importance. You will be observed during the entire day - not only during your exercises but also during the breaks. Make it a priority to interact with other candidates way ahead of time in a  kind and respectful manner.

Start a conversation with a random candidate at the entrance, Here's some lines to break the ice:
  • Hello, is this your first assessment day? and where are you from?"
  • Hi, my name is "Z", What is your name?.
  • Have you worked as a flight attendant before?
  • I love your shoes/lipstick/purse/whatever... where did you get it from?

You are not looking to make a best friend rather just a normal conversation and you will never know if that stranger is your future bach-mate and even your flat-mate when you join the airline.

Tip # 5: Be confident, but not Over/Under confidence especially during the group exercise.

The purpose of the group exercise is to show the assessors how you interact with a group. Being a cabin crew means being part of a team; working together with other people, helping them even if it's not your side of the cabin and being there for each other during tough and busy working days.
During the assessment, the interviewers need to see the team spirit in you. How are you going to express that?
  • Do not interrupt other people when they are talking.
  • Do not take charge of the task unless you are asked by the assessors to do so.
Winning the task is not your goal alone so don't stress it out. Focus instead on how you can interact with the other candidates by helping them voluntarily. Volunteer to do certain portions of the task such as taking notes, keeping the time, etc. If you see somebody in the group not participating, you can include them by saying: 'So MIKY, what do you think of this idea?' FYI do not ask hard questions. Do not be silent. Try to contribute to the task ahead, even when other members of your group might seem in charge of the game.

No matter what is the task, Settle your position somewhere in the middle: Do not take charge unless you are named the group leader by the assessors, but at the same time remember not to be silent and invisible.

Give your opinion based on a logical reason and point of view, but do not insist on it if other members of your group do not accept it or seem to be going in a different direction.

Tip # 6: Turn off your Cell-phone

During the intro, the airline usually gives a presentation that will include the cell phone policy. You will be asked to switch it off or activate the silent mode. If you forget to do so, it will show your assessors that the recruitment day isn't important to you as a call from your friends.

Tip # 7: Do not look bored

The assessment day is a full-day commitment. You should expect your day to start before 9 AM and finishes at 6 PM. Do not make other appointments during that day nor eager to finish faster. The more time you have the more the assessors can see more of you and what you can offer to their airline. Remember being in a boring class and checking the time? A glimpse at your watch, as subtle as you think it might be if it's spotted by one of the interviewers it will bring a negative impression.

Tip # 8: Do not ask about the cabin crew salary and benefits too early

On every airline's career website is a section that explains the remuneration. It is a standard fixed basic salary and an hourly rate for every flying and training hour that you are required to undertake. If the salary package is not public, it is relevant to ask about it at the end of the interview, when it has been established that you are what the airline company is looking for.

Tip # 9: Show that you did your homework

During the initial Q&A session ask other relevant questions such as career advancement, lifestyle in the country of the airline, the company expansion plans and fleet, colleagues, atmosphere and airline facilities, but stay away from salary questions at the beginning of the assessment day.

Tip # 10: Show your enthusiasm

Being truly passionate about having a career as a flight attendant is the area that will truly separate the people who are there just because it sounds like a good job to have and the ones who are there because they dreamed of being a cabin crew all of their life. Show that you are passionate about meeting new people and experimenting new cultures and have an honest desire to be of assistance to others. This is also what ultimately will separate the people who get hired and those who don't.

In your final 1-on-1 interview, the first or last question will most likely be 'why do you want to be a flight attendant?' Tell them your story! When was the first time you thought about it, what did you do to get closer to chase your dream, what motivates you to become a flight attendant, a little inside information that will show them not only your desire and motivation, but also your skill that will put you "up there" with the high performers and ambassadors of the airline. Talk from the heart and give them your full commitment. If you truly want it, you can not fail.

The Official Website of Evergreen Park

Friday, 01 June 2018 17:15

For the first time since it opened in 1982 the race track at Evergreen Park has a name.

For the next 10 years, at least, the complex will be known as J.D.A. Raceway.

J.D.A. Ventures, with locations in Grande Prairie and Whitecourt, has purchased the naming rights to the track.

“J.D.A. Ventures Ltd. is very happy to be sponsoring the Raceway at Evergreen Park,” said Jarvie Dawson of J.D.A., son of founder Jarvis Dawson. “The track is somewhere where friends and family get together, and as a family-owned company, that is something that speaks to the core values of our business. We are excited to be connected to such a large part of the community and all the memories to be made out at the track.”

The first memories will be formed next week when the chuckwagons and rodeo performers hit the track for the 41st annual Grande Prairie Stompede.

“We’re very, very thrilled the track sponsor is such a strong community supporter as the Dawson family is,” said Evergreen Park General Manager Dan Gorman. “We would like to develop and grow and expand the track and add different things. So, we are going to work with the Dawson family and the Dawson group to be able to enhance and grow that.”

In many ways J.D.A. Ventures Ltd. history mirrors that of Evergreen Park.

J.D.A. owner Jarvis Dawson started – like the Grande Prairie Regional Agricultural & Exhibition Society (Evergreen Park) did with a county fair consisting of some tables of crafts and a few farmyard animals in downtown Grande Prairie in 1910 - from humble beginnings, worked hard to create something special and has seen his company grow to become an important part of the community.

Established in 1994 as a one-truck hotshot company operating out of an automotive shop (that’s where the “A” comes from in J.D.A.) today J.D.A. is a well-known light and heavy oilfield hauler operating out of branches in Grande Prairie and Whitecourt (established 2015) with over 150 pieces of equipment and 75-plus employees.

Jarvis is the middle son of teachers Martha and Leo Dawson and grew up in the community. In 1990, he married his wife Kim and they have four children - Mandy, Jarvie, and twins Dusty and Dylan. Kim has been his loyal and loving partner in life and in business.

At the age of 16 Jarvis started growing his infamous mustache, for which he is well known today, and thus began his career in the oilfield industry. In 1986, Jarvis bought a three-bay service station and worked as a power tong hand occasionally on weekends to meet the needs of his family. There was plenty of struggle in the early years, but it was at the service station where he got his feet wet as an entrepreneur and started learning the challenges of owning a business.

Jarvis is deeply committed to the community, local charities and organized sports. One of his joys as a young teen was raising a 4-H steer, and he continues to support the 4-H program. As his sons matured through hockey leagues, he began to support local team programs and still continues in that commitment with the donation of transportation for a number of sports teams including the J.D.A. Kings hockey team. A number of other community organization and charities have been recipients of the generosity of Jarvis and Kim.

The commitment to the community continues with the naming rights to the J.D.A. Raceway at Evergreen Park. The 10-year agreement is valued at $25,000 per year.

J.D.A. Raceway is part of a complex that includes Gordon Badger Stadium, the Pines Restaurant & Casino and the Pines Family Restaurant. While the track is active in the spring, summer and fall the facility is open year-round.

Jarvis Dawson came up with the name for the track.

“When he first said he wanted to call it J.D.A. Raceway I thought that sounded like a stock car track so I googled raceway and found there are a lot of horse racing tracks called raceways in North America,” said Evergreen Park Marketing and Sponsorship Manager Don Moon. “J.D.A. Raceway also rolls off the tongue very nicely so it’s a very appropriate fit.”

Following Stompede, Boots & Moccasins Chuckwagon Racing & Powwow Weekend will be held June 15-17 and then in July and August J.D.A. Raceway hosts The Horses At Evergreen Park. One of the bigger events of September is the South Peace Horse Club Trials. The track also hosts events like monster trucks, Nitro Circus, high school rodeo and more.

J.D.A. Raceway, considered one of the safest horse racing tracks in North American, is 7/8th of a mile and is made of sand and loam with a clay base.

Jackson County legislators were told Monday that Jefferson City is more a source of headaches than hope on issues from roads and bridges to jail operations.

Revisiting issues that come up year after year, lobbyist Fred Dreiling said the big-ticket item for the county is the state’s reimbursement for prisoners held on state charges at the County Detention Center. Those account for the vast majority of inmates at the jail, but the county has a hard time collecting on its costs.

It costs the county $90 or more a day to house, feed and deal with an inmate’s medical needs, but the state only pays $22.58, a figure that was bumped by $2 a couple years ago. Also, the state is $19 million behind in payments to counties.

Dreiling said these inequities might have to get worked out in court, with counties suing the state.

“We could try to do it $2 a time down there, but in the end it’s ridiculous,” Dreiling said.

Dreiling also said he’s monitoring funding for Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums. The state’s commitment to pay $3 million a year toward their upkeep runs only through 2021, though the Chiefs and Royals leases run several years past that. The county could be the hook if the state doesn’t pay. The county already pays $3 million a year on its own, and Kansas City pays $2 million.

There’s been talk of filling the potential gap with money from the entertainer’s tax – paid by out-of-town athletes when their teams play here – but Dreiling said that’s a tough conversation in an election year.

Dreiling was more optimistic about a bill again before the General Assembly to allow counties to go the voters and expand the 911 tax to cell phones. Missouri is alone among the 50 states in paying for 911 solely with fees on land lines, even though the vast majority of 911 calls are from cell phones.

“Seems like if you have a phone and want to have 911, you need to contribute,” said Legislator Tony Miller, D-Lee’s Summit.

A bill by state Rep. Jeanie Lauer, R-Blue Springs, would allow that broader funding.

“This is the national model,” Dreiling said.

The Missouri House has passed Lauer’s bill in each of the last several years, but it has always died in the Senate. Some senators want in return a consolidation of 911 call centers. Dreiling said he’s “somewhat optimistic” that the Senate will approve the bill this year.

Dreiling also pointed out that no legislation has been filed yet to put into effect the recommendations of a task force, appointed by the General Assembly, to study transportation issues. One of its chief recommendations is a 10-cent increase in the state’s gas tax.

“MoDOT has no money, and our highways are going to begin to crumble,” Dreiling said.

County Legislator Crystal Williams, D-Kansas City, is frequently critical of the direction coming out of the General Assembly, and she was again Monday.

“I’ve never see it like this,” she said. “It is literally a circular firing squad – and they don’t give a damn about us.”

Roads and bridges won’t be addressed, she said, “until one of bridges falls down in one of their districts.”

Liturgy: Beauty and Renewal

Liturgy: Beauty and Renewal

Liturgy: Beauty and Renewal

Editorial FAITH MAGAZINE January - February 2016

The timeless Mass

Every Mass takes place across the boundaries of time. Every Mass is one with Christ's one sacrifice on Calvary, every Mass unites us with the saints in Heaven and hence with eternity. Every Mass is “the Mass of all ages”.

Of course, each Mass also has its fixture here in earth: 8, 9 and 11.15 am, on Sunday at St Awfully Ordinary, Parknshopcity, or whatever. The church may be a glory of  19th century gothic revival,  or a fearsome  20th century blend of concrete and children's artwork, or perhaps an echoing ancient building in some part of Europe where the Faith was not lost in the religious trauma of the 16th century but now seems to be receding fast in the face of the secularism of the 21st.  But the Mass, wherever it is, is always and everywhere the Mass of all time.

“The way of beauty”

It is not always done well. A memory from some years back: a funeral Mass, and while we are still praying quietly after Communion, a member of the family is brought forward and offered a microphone. She tells us about how she loves to write poetry, and recites some trite verses of her own composition about the deceased. A thin ripple of awkward applause. (This happened at a Mass in the Extraordinary Form or, as we called it at the time, the Tridentine Rite. It is not just the Ordinary Form that can be abused in this way).

Liturgy can be a neuralgic issue among Catholics: attempting a serious Editorial on the subject requires some courage.  But a recently-canonised Pope, noted for his devotion to the Eucharist told us “Do not be afraid!” and so FAITH magazine takes a breath and goes forward.

The great theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar urged that the Church focus on “the way of beauty”. An encounter with Christ should be an encounter with beauty, and Christians have known this and lived it for centuries: art, architecture, music, poetry, all to the glory of God.

When people drop in to a church, they intuitively expect beauty. They may well be disappointed, but they expect it. They don't necessarily want to be greeted to offered a chat. They haven't come for coffee. If there are votive lights glowing, they will gravitate towards them, and may well light one themselves and  be silent for a while.  They will be much less likely to pick up a booklet or leaflet.  If there is a Visitors' Book, and they have enjoyed their visit, they are likely to express their sentiments by using words like “peaceful” or “lovely”  rather than “enjoyable”.

The liturgy should be beautiful. In any prayer, God is really the one who initiates: he seeks us out, he wants to make himself known, he came to live among us. Liturgy is not about the human need to build up a sense of community: it is about connecting humanity with the God who has already made himself known to us.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church quotes St Justin Martyr: “On the day we call the day of the sun, all who dwell in the city of country gather...” and notes that “The liturgy of the Eucharist unfolds according to a fundamental structure which has been preserved throughout the centuries down to our own day. It displays two parts that form a fundamental unity: the gathering, the liturgy of the Word, with readings, homily and general intercessions; the liturgy of the Eucharist, with presentation of bread and wine, the consecratory thanksgiving, and communion” (CCC1346).   It then – unusually for the Catechism – poses a question: “Is this not the same movement as the Paschal meal of the risen Jesus with the disciples?”(CCC1347) and it answers the question in the affirmative with a description of Christ on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24: 13-35.

Of all the ages

This section of the Catechism is headed “The Mass of all the ages”.  What is happening at Mass  cannot accurately be described as simply a celebration in a particular place at a particular time: it always links is directly back to Christ and the Apostles,  to the command given by the Lord on the eve of his Passion “Do this...” , to the Cross and Calvary. “The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice” (CCC 1366). The Catechism quotes the Council of Trent: “The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross, only the manner of offering is different”.

“In the earthly liturgy we share in a foretaste of that heavenly liturgy towards which we journey as pilgrims...” (Sacrosanctum Concilium).  Many readers of this magazine will have uncomfortable memories of earthly liturgies in which that foretaste has been hard to find: banal music, performed into a microphone situated in or near the sanctuary, trite Bidding Prayers read badly, an atmosphere lacking in reverence. But things are changing. Today, it can be noted that as a general rule, the younger the priest, the more formal the liturgy. Younger Catholics use “Kum-by-ya” as a sort of catch-all expression for turgid 1970s ditties they despise and find embarrassing. Eucharistic adoration is today a central feature of major Catholic youth gatherings from World Youth Day to pre-Confirmation retreats, and this in turn has begun to influence attitudes to the Mass, the Tabernacle, genuflecting, being at ease with times of united reverence. Corpus Christi processions, once thought to have been abolished, have made a comeback. Latin chant is heard with increasing regularity.

“Eucharistic amazement”

This is a time of renewal. Pope Saint John Paul's call for a sense of “Eucharistic amazement” has found an echo among the faithful. This is the time to surround the Eucharist with beauty: church, altar, music, all should be a beautiful as possible. This is to give glory to God: it also enables the faithful to pray more deeply. Our participation in the Mass is chiefly in our hearts, but must touch all our senses, so that we are allowed to pray with our voices, to respond aloud to the priest's “The Lord be with you”, to join in when invited to pray “the prayer our Saviour gave us”, to sing, to be able to see and hear, to be aware of the scent of the incense and the flickering of the candles and the gleam of the chalice.

Many years back, FAITH magazine published a detailed critique of the then-current translation of the Mass into English, showing its deficiencies. The Church now has a new translation, Deo Gratias. FAITH events used to be unusual in their adherence to the Church's liturgical norms: now that approach is widespread. FAITH has always been broadly sympathetic to the idea that the older form of the Mass should not be banned: this has of course now been established with Summorum Pontificum.  FAITH recognised that much was gained with the reforms that took place under Paul VI, including a richer fare of Scripture readings, revival of the Offertory procession, etc, and that what was needed was a sense of continuity, and of adherence to the authentic voice of the Church. That “reform of the reform” is happening now with a sense of normality. Deo Gratias again.“Do not be afraid”. Let us now concentrate on developing that sense of beauty which the very nature of the Mass deserves.

Children and teenagers love to sing glorious music from the rich treasury of the Church's centuries-old heritage, as school choirs prove annually at the Towards Advent Festival in Westminster Cathedral Hall. They learn plainchant easily and sing it well. They link it automatically with worship even if they have not experienced it before learning it in choir: they will tell you that it “feels right” to sing it at Mass.  Every Catholic school should teach and use plainchant and have a choir that also sings a range of beautiful church music.

Choirs and Psalms

Parish choirs can do more – often much more – than is often recognised. Psalms can be sung: the dreaded recitation of a line for the “Responsorial psalm” can be replaced with the normality of an easily-learned sung refrain. The Introit can – and should! -  be sung.  Good music can be something that is given a priority: there can be visits to places where it can be heard, opportunities for plainchant or other music to be learned. This is not difficult:  a few sessions can start a whole parish singing a simple Kyrie, Sanctus and Agnus Dei.  A project launched by the Association of Catholic Women,  “A Day of Art and Music” for primary-school teachers and catechists became a popular event held in various places, with attendees learning some simple chant in the afternoon, and singing it at a Mass as the day finished.

It's not just about music. Readers can – and must! - be properly instructed and spiritually formed, so that the Scriptures are  “audible and intelligible” (CCC1154). And all this should be happening in a church where sacred images help to focus the mind on prayer, and where everything used in the liturgy is beautiful and of good quality. And so on.

Last word to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. He taught us that beauty in the liturgy “is not mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself.”(Sacramentum Caritatis)

Ashton Court parkrun – 19th October 2013

Today was my first anniversary of running the Ashton Court parkrun (well a day out), and I made it round 2 and a half minutes faster than I did then. My cold has pretty much run its course now (yay for vitamin C, zinc and echinacea) so I’m feeling positive about next week’s off-road 10km race (and getting my 100 volunteer points beforehand).

I finished 94th out of 235, 7th lady and 2nd in my age group.

Hey guys, I guess this isn't something you did expected to see this Christmas... in less your name is Issi since that's the only person I told. Thanks to, Issi, I finally decided to open a thread I never really thought to open. I've been asked if I had a Fanart thread plenty of times, and my answer was always simply no and I kept it moving. I am sort of an underground artist. I like to make stuff and keep it going although I am pretty active on my tumblr with posting gifs. Oh, and by the way my name is Tia and some people from a distant past will probably remember me as my former username BrathanSupporter. I would not call myself an graphic artist per say, I'm more of a person who can do stuff while not really caring or knowing how to do it as well as other people do it. I've been on for over five years and I've met some pretty awesome people through same interest. My favorite artist on are
|Mel|Avy|Issi|Josie|Jade|Yvonné| May's |Talkative ONE | Theresa

l a t e s t vid;

When I'm not doing gifs or making icons (rarely make icons by the way). I work on my true passion which is editing videos, it is something I've done since about nine years old. It started with Windows Movie Maker, to Ulead to now Sony Vegas. The only thing that is stopping me from making as much videos as I would like is my slow computer, but if it were my choice, I'd much rather be editing videos.

all videos this way

l a t e s t g i f s;

speaking of which; Clois is my OTP of all OTP's, my ultimate ship, so, on
my tumblr page, you'll see a lot of other pairings but Clois is easily the pairing I make the most gifs of.

Enzyme biodiversity key to future of crops

corn agriculture field crop oragriculture FlickrThe researchers studied Rubisco biodiversity 75 plant species, including grass, wild rice, melons and beans from across the world. (Image Source: oragriculture/Flickr)A research study conducted in collaboration between Lancaster University and the University of Illinois have made an important advance in understanding the natural diversity of a key plant enzyme which could help address the threat of global food security

Rubisco is the central enzyme responsible for photosynthesis in plants. The enzyme enables plants to absorb carbon from the atmosphere, which provides fuel for photosynthesis. However, the extent of natural diversity of Rubisco across plant species was relatively unknown.

The Lancaster University-led research team has discovered that some of the species they looked at had more effective and high-performing Rubisco than several of the major crops species, such as wheat and soybean.

As part of the study, the researchers studied 75 plant species, including grass, wild rice, melons and beans from across the world and assessed the ability of their Rubiscos to assimilate CO2 at a range of different temperatures - to replicate the effects of a changing climate.

The superior characteristics of some of the Rubisco enzymes present the possibility of engineering plants which grow more quickly and with less need for additional fertilisers.

The study was supported by Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE), a research grant led by Illinois University at the Carl R Woese Institute for Genomic Biology. As part of the consortium RIPE, the Lancaster researchers and their collaborators are working toward improving crops, including rice, cassava, soybean and cowpea.

Lancaster University research associate Douglas Orr said, “The plants we examined came from a range of environments, from sub-Saharan Africa to temperate regions of Europe and Asia, and northern Australia.”

He also pointed out that the study analysed the effect of temperature on Rubisco biochemistry in all the species to explore how different Rubiscos respond to changing temperatures, which can help to understand how climate change may impact plant growth.

Slimming Solutions Teatox | Review

Before you start rolling your eyes, hear me out...

I know there's a lot of speculation around bloggers who rave about slimming teas and make claims about how much weight they've lost etc ... we all know that the main and most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, having a balanced diet, getting enough sleep at night and incorporating more exercise into your when I received the Slimming Solutions Teatox* at an event I went to recently, I was in two minds about whether or not it's something I wanted to openly talk about.

However, it isn't fair to judge a book by it's cover (or a teatox by the mixed opinions that everyone has about them) and I wanted to give the Slimming Solutions Detox Teas a fair shot and share my thoughts with you.

The Teatox consists of two sets of tea: a Daytime Blend (28 bags which include ingredients such as Oolong, Siberian Ginseng, Fennel and Lemongrass) & an Evening Blend (14 bags which consist of a mixture of Senna Leaves, Fenugreek seeds, Peppermint and Liquorice).

The concept behind the Teatox is to detox the body and reduce does contain Senna leaves and can have a laxative effect on your body depending on your diet and lifestyle, but it isn't something I personally had a massive issue with.  I personally found that the tea helped me to feel less bloated (especially around the time of the month when everyone seems to bloat), more energised and generally fuller for longer, keeping those naughty cravings at bay.

This Teatox is contains natural ingredients and doesn't have any artificial additives or sugars, which is great because it's not something I want to be consuming. If you do prefer a sweeter tea though, honey is a great (and natural!) option to consider.

In terms of slimming and weight loss,  this is down to a number of things and I don't personally feel like tea can help you burn fat and lose weight. I've improved my eating habits and have been focusing on my physical wellbeing lately, so I have noticed a slight shift in weight but I can't make dramatic claims say that it's all down to the tea.

I have enjoyed drinking the tea, but I wouldn't say that the reason behind is that is because I had dramatic weight loss results or anything...I believe that weight loss is an ongoing and longterm journey - as much as you may want a quick fix sometimes, crash diets and relying on solely on detox teas or weight loss products isn't a sensible solution.

I've enjoyed this tea as a compliment to my healthier diet and lifestyle and I like the fact that I've felt less bloated and that internally, my body has felt more calm and cleansed while I've been drinking this.

Have you tried the Slimming Solutions Teatox? What are your thoughts on detox teas? Let me know down in the comments below.

KeraStraight Protein Mask | Review

If you know anything about me, you will know that haircare is something that has always been important to me, and since I've had my balayage, that has been even more so. I'm always on the hunt for products that will help to revive my hair and help it look & feel in a much better condition than it's been in recently...

I've been using the KeraStraight Protein Mask for the last couple of months and my hair has been loving it! Formulated with a blend of hydrolysed wheat proteins, the mask has been designed to repair and reconstruct your hair, and in personal experience, it has transformed my dry and damaged locks to shinier and much healthier looking/feeling hair.

I've been using this Protein Mask on a weekly basis as a deep treatment mask. I apply it into my hair after my shampoo & conditioner and leave it on for 5-10 minutes (or as long as possible) before rinsing and allowing my hair to naturally dry and I've noticed a visible difference in the condition of my hair.

The mask itself is super lightweight, which is great as it absorbs easily into the hair without being too heavy, and a little bit goes a long way. However, the pot contains 100ml of product, which for £25, is a lot more expensive than I would usually spend on haircare but KeraStraight is a salon quality brand and the condition of my hair shows that it's an effective product that has substantially improved the condition of my coloured/dry/damaged hair.
You can find the KeraStraight Protein Mask here if you want to have a look for yourself.

Have you tried any KeraStraight products? What were your thoughts?

Happy New Year | 17 Goals for 2017

Hello and Happy New Year!

I hope 2016 was a good year for you and that 2017 is even better. To kick things off, I thought I'd set myself some goals/resolutions in the first blogpost of the new year.

Here goes...

1) Focus on myself
This one may seem a bit vague but I want to make 2017 my year of 'self love'. Self love can mean many different things to different people, but for me, it's anything from working towards looking & feeling more put together more often to doing more of what's best for me and makes me happy. Typically, I'm someone who puts others before myself but it's just as important to make time for yourself and that's something I need to work on.

2) Do more, think less
Self doubt is one of the things I struggle with the most and because I spend too much time worrying about things, I've let it get in the way and missed out on numerous opportunities because a silly little voice in my head got the best of me. I'm not letting it stand in my way anymore.
Remember, you only fail if you don't try.

3) Find my work-life balance
Since I was thrown into a very hands-on internship turned full time job, I struggled to find the balance between my professional and personal life and as a result, YouTube/blogging slipped on list of priorities and I wasn't anywhere near as consistent as I would have liked. Now that things are more settled, that's going to change...

4) Progress in my professional life
Although my work life does take up the majority of my time, I work hard and really enjoy what I do, so I want to make things bigger and better and just progress with what I'm doing.

5) Create kickass content
Content is a massive part of my day job, and considering how important my channel and my blog are to me, it would be silly not to implement that and create awesome content and lots of it. I'm working on my schedule right now and I've set myself a bunch of goals and I'm really excited to work towards them.
 2017 is going to be my YouTube/Blog year and I can't wait to kick things off!

6)  Engage more
My lack of work-life balance has resulted in me really struggling to stay engaged online, whether that's posting on Instagram, engaging with others on Twitter, or even liking/commenting on other people's content. I want to take a bit more time every day to work on this and become more involved in the blogging community.

7) Work towards a healthier lifestyle
A healthy lifestyle doesn't necessarily mean signing up to a gym membership or start training for a marathon - It's a mix of a healthy mindset as well as a healthy physical life. I want to improve my sleeping pattern, work on my dietary intake and increase my physical exercise. The smallest steps lead to a bigger difference in the long run and I want to be happier and confident within my self, both on the inside and out.

8) Read more
I genuinely enjoy reading, so it's a shame that I haven't made enough time to get caught up in a good book lately. This year, I want to read a lot more. Do you have any book recommendations?

9) Take more photos
Photography has always been something I've been passionate about and stupidly, I've not been taking anywhere near as many photos as I could've/should've/would've. I want to take lots more photos and captures lots more memories this year, whether the photos are of other people, scenery or even of myself.

10) Save up
A few extra pennies (or pounds) in the bank never hurt anybody. I want to seriously work on my frugality this year.

11) Be more spontaneous
Wouldn't it be nice to wake up once in a while and think 'let's do this today'...and actually do it?! Rather than spending lots of time planning things that usually fall through, I want to have the excitement of making spontaneous decisions and want to create awesome memories in the process.

12) Call the shots
Rather than taking a backseat and waiting for other people to make the first move, I want to be more proactive and the first step. Pushing ourselves to do something new could lead to so many new adventures.

13) Learn conversational Spanish
I've always enjoyed learning languages and in December, I decided to randomly start learning Spanish and brush up on my French, and turns out I'm really enjoying it! I'd love to be conversational in Spanish by the end of the year, and potentially learn another language on the side!

14) Build my 2017 Happy Jar
The Happy Jar is something that I'm a massive advocate of and it basically works on the basis of collecting memories of whatever makes you happy, in the jar. This could be anything from an invitation from an awesome event you've been to, train/plane tickets from a special trip you've been on or even something random that reminds you of someone or something special. Then, at the end of the year, you can reflect on the wonderful memories the year had in store for you.

15) Get organised
I need to procrastinate less and organise myself to be a lot more productive outside of work and with my channel/blog. Now I have a beautiful, sparkly, rose gold planner to help me do so ^.^

16) Step out of the comfort zone
Whether it's clothing or make up, I think we're all guilty of owning a lot more than we actually wear. For example, I am a self confessed lipstick hoarder, yet I still reach for the same couple of shades. This year, I want to be a lot more adventurous with my personal style and make up choices, and even in general.

17)  Stay positive
Remember to see the silver lining in all the situations, make the most of them and live in the moment. Life's too short!

I hope 2017 is an amazing year for all of us! What goals/resolutions do you have in mind for the new year?

Forget everything just for tonight

Good evening guys =)
Sometimes Im really shocked how People walk through their lives. In my opinion, to reach real happiness and to find yourself, passion for what you love and what your doing is the key. So many just do something to get Money and act like Society wants it, to fit in and just be ok with that. But without People who actual fight for what they stand for and who are able to put the energy needed into something, this world wouldnt work.
I wore this Outfit to a concert I went to with my mom a few weeks ago. It wasnt something big but we had a good time and thats what really matters =) The Top is part of a two Piece I will Show you soon , its breathtaking! The Pictures are taken by my lovely friend Selina, please take a look on her Blog and follow her, she does have a great style.
