About Irene Zabelin

I am an experienced graphic designer capable of providing both a creative and analytical approach to projects from concept to completion. Well versed in print and digital media, I find delight in providing thoughtful and unique solutions for the advancement of projects and campaigns. Since earning my Bachelor’s Degree nine years ago, I have worked on the corporate, agency, freelance and print production sides of the business.

Values and Influences

My personal values, passion and creativity influence every project I take on. Plus, I’m lots of fun to work with! As I was finishing high school Rick Poynor published the First Things First 2000 manifesto. It urged designers to use their skills to improve the world around them rather than to focus on marketing alone. Reading this impacted my decision to pursue an education in graphic design and carry the focus on the community and our environment into my professional career.

When I’m not designing you might find me relaxing with my husband, on a trail, gardening or painting.

Context Materials

Terminology is confusing and the terms 'case study' and 'simulation' are fairly widely used to describe learning materials which are quite different to the type Context aims to promote. (Click here to go straight to examples of Context Materials)

The Context model

The learning materials that fit the Context model will be referred to as context material. These materials are designed as participative, degree-subject based with a 'real world' setting. Context Material consists of case material (or a simulation) that:

  • is based as closely as possible on real work situations and issues (in business, government, the voluntary sector);
  • enables students to acquire academic knowledge;
  • is active and participative in style (providing students with opportunity for personal development).

Using Context materials

Materials typically involve students working in teams, and applying a range of personal and interpersonal skills such as team working, information handling, problem identification, creative problem-solving, negotiation and action-planning. They provide students with insights into work cultures as well as informing them about theory and practice.

Context material can be used to provide some of the learning situations of the workplace as well as additional dimensions. These include:

  • learning about a variety of employment sectors, situations and a variety of themes and functions in work;
  • offering team based activity - not always possible in work experience;
  • providing a range of skills development including interpersonal skills learning;
  • demonstrating the application of academic learning;
  • providing opportunity to extend student knowledge of workplaces;
  • broadening career horizons.

Examples of Context Materials can be found here

Other advantages of using Context material include:

  • the ability to cope with large numbers of students;
  • a high quality experience because materials are developed by expert authors, tested by students and then refined;
  • students face realistic constraints: time, resources, changing conditions, imperfect information;
  • a gain in student confidence from a practical approach.

Context material and other ways of providing work experience are complementary and, when used together, provide the full range of learning outcomes which might also then include:

  • student confidence in being able to "do the job";
  • student development of networks of contacts in the world of work.

500 Winners Collect ‘Baby Borgs’

| , RacinToday.com Saturday, January 20 2018

Driver Takuma Sato and team owner Michael Andretti toast their victory in the 2017 Indy 500. This week, they collected the trophies which go to the victors.

Reigning Indianapolis 500 champion Takuma Sato has taken possession of a career-defining piece of Verizon IndyCar Series hardware.

Sato and team-owner Michael Andretti each received BorgWarner Championship trophies, also known as the “Baby Borg,” to commemorate their thrilling victory in the 101st edition of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil last May.

BorgWarner Inc. President/CEO James Verrier presented the BorgWarner Championship Driver’s Trophy to Sato and the BorgWarner Championship Team Owner’s trophy to Andretti Autosport owner Andretti during the annual Automotive News World Congress Dinner in Detroit, which took place earlier this week in conjunction with the North American International Auto Show.

“I haven’t decided if it’s going to Indy or Japan,” said Sato, referencing the ultimate destination for the trophy. “Anywhere will do. (Being honored) just never stops, and we’re only four months away from the next Indy 500. It’s crazy.”

The BorgWarner Championship trophies are unique replicas of the iconic hardware awarded to the winner of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “Baby Borg” trophies are 14-inches high and weigh five pounds. The driver’s trophy features a handcrafted, three-dimensional sterling silver image of the winner, a duplicate of the image affixed to the full BorgWarner Trophy, while the owner’s trophy features a band of art deco race cars accented in gold to symbolize the importance of teamwork.

A 40-year-old native of Tokyo, Sato became the first Japanese driver to win the Indianapolis 500. Starting fourth in an Andretti Autosport Honda,  Sato held off three-time 500 winner Helio Castroneves of Brazil and Team Penske by just 0.2011-seconds at the finish of the 200-lapper on May 28.

Andretti, a former Indy car star who never won the 500 as a driver, earned his fifth victory as a team-owner _ each with a different driver. Andretti also was the winning owner in 2005 with the late Dan Wheldon, 2007 with Dario Franchitti, 2014 with Ryan Hunter-Reay and 2016 with Alexander Rossi.

Sato since has joined Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, where he will team with Graham Rahal in Honda-powered cars beginning this season.

The son of 1969 Indy 500 champion Mario Andretti, “Mikey” is tied with Chip Ganassi for second on the all-time Indianapolis 500 victory list among team owners. Roger Penske leads all owners with 16 victories in the Memorial Day weekend classic that annually caps the Month of May.

Sato’s week as roving open-wheel ambassador continued in Indianapolis, where he helped start a major promotional campaign for the 102nd edition of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” by unveiling a large banner over Gate 2 of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The banner, which measures 91.5-feet wide and 19.5-feet high, features the tagline “THIS IS MAY.” on an image of Sato celebrating his victory in the 101st edition of the Indy 500. “THIS IS MAY.” will be the centerpiece of the Indianapolis 500 promotional campaign this spring, including television and print advertising, billboards, social media content and digital and print collateral.

“It was a very exciting moment for me when I became the Indy 500 champion,” Sato said. “So many great things have happened since I won…(and) it is an unbelievable feeling to return as the defending champion. The whole experience has been beyond my imagination.”

IMS President J. Douglas Boles and Allison Melangton, Hulman Motorsports senior vice-president of events, joined Sato at the ceremony.

“Takuma’s victory last year was the crowning achievement of a Month of May filled with excitement,” Boles said. “That’s the concept behind this new promotional campaign: There’s nothing on Earth quite like the entire Month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, on and off the track.”

The 102nd Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 27. The fifth annual INDYCAR Grand Prix, which kicks off Month of May activity at the track, is scheduled for Saturday, May 12. For more information or tickets for both events, visit IMS.com.

The 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season starts March 11 with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on the Streets of St. Petersburg, Fla. Both races will be broadcast live on ABC Sports and the Advance Auto Parts INDYCAR Radio Network.

ANSWER: Cocaine analysis patents

If you want to pursue this even further, to get VERY detailed information that is free on the web, there are a number of patent databases that will go into detail on these analysis techniques and devices. By far the biggest one, with more than 70 million records representing over 30 million full text patents from 72 nations, is the European Patent Office's Espacenet. In its advanced search, the title/abstract words: cocaine analysis get 9 hits. Number 8 is a German patent: DE4037686 from 1991-05-16, English title: "Quantitative determn. of cocaine and its main metabolites - by thin layer chromatography followed by conversion to a fluorescing prod. by heating" The "Patent Family" and "Legal Status" tabs don't link to English language equivalent patents. But if you copy/paste the Classification numbers into the advanced search page, and limit to "publication no." us, you can limit to US patents.

For example, the European (ECLA) class C07D451/12 and number us gets 56 hits. ECLA number G01N30/90 gets 86 US patents, which seem a bit closer to this topic. Espacenet uses pdf files, and it's much easier to display and print full text from it than from our own US database, which requires a special TIFF viewer such as AlternaTIFF, to see any drawings or ANY pre-1976 scanned full text. But there's an important tradeoff that may induce you to install that viewer: USPTO searches the entire text of all 1976 and later patents, not just abstracts and titles; and this is word-processed text - not pdf searching as in Google Patents. USPTO gets 2742 hits for: cocaine and analysis; 15 hits even when you limit that search to the "Claims" - aclm/cocaine and aclm/analysis. "Claims" are the legal statements that spell out precisely what the inventor is claiming protection for.

Benefit Cheeky Stowaways Beauty Kit

Friday, 1 September 2017

Do you know what really annoys me about airports? People; airports would be much more enjoyable if it wasn’t for other people. It’s not that I don’t want to share an airport with you (it totally is but let’s pretend I’m nice) it’s just I can’t handle people getting in my way at 4 am when I’m dragging an overweight suitcase and my tired butt around. I actively avoid moving anywhere in an airport until my gate is called as I know I’ll end up throwing my passport or a shoe at someone. The benefit of my aggressive airport tendencies means I rarely spend any unnecessary money as the idea of fighting my way through duty-free is not even remotely appealing. That being said, Prague airport is so unbelievably efficient that I ended up in duty-free without anyone but my other half so they won, I bought something. How dare they run an airport correctly and ruin my foul mood!

Benefit Cheeky Stowaways Beauty Kit

In my weak defence, I did want some new makeup products especially blusher and bronzer as I’ve been using nothing but MAC Dollymix and Benefit Dandelion for years now. I had plans on buying individual products as opposed to a palette as I always feel like large palettes are anything but travel-friendly (which goes against the travel set that this is supposed to be). I couldn’t walk away from the Cheeky Stowaways beauty kit regardless of how much of a pain it is to travel with though so it instantly became mine.

The Cheeky Stowaways beauty kit consists of Benefit’s infamous Hoola, Coralista, my beloved Dandelion and Rockateur. It also contains a small tube of They’re Real mascara and They’re Real push-up liner. There’s a small blush brush as well which will never be used.

Benefit Cheeky Stowaways Beauty Kit

I’m really taken by the variety of the shades in the Cheeky Stowaways and I’m amazed by the fact they’re all light enough for my skin tone. I’ve stayed away from Hoola for a long time as I was certain it would be far too dark for my ghostly complexion but it’s such a beautiful, light shade that it almost makes my horrendous contour skills look good. Coralista is another shade I would typically stay away from as I feel like coral is a total hit and miss. I don’t think Coralista looks amazing on me, it is too peachy for my skin tone but, with the right look, I can just about get away with it.

Dandelion is probably my all time favourite blusher as it’s the perfect light pink. It works well with my pale complexion and provides me with just the right amount of colour with minimum effort. Rockateur on the other hand looks too dark in the palette for me but it’s currently in a fight with Dandelion for the title of my favourite blusher. I absolutely love wearing Rockateur when I’m going for a subtle “hey look at my face” kind of deal as it provides a pretty pink flush to my cheeks without making it look like I’ve just been slapped.

Benefit Cheeky Stowaways Beauty Kit

Aside from the non-travel friendly size, I love everything about this beauty kit. I may not use the mascara and eyeliner very often but I love having them there in case I feel like having a raccoon eye look (I can’t use eyeliner and mascara to save my life) and the variety of shades of blusher means I’ve got shades for almost every mood. All I need now is a bright red for when I feel like looking like a clown. I wonder if I can get one in duty-free...

Support for Obamacare’s Insurance Mandate Continues to Fall

Monday, October 26, 2015

One of the central tenets of the new national health care law is that every American must have health insurance, but support for that requirement has fallen to its lowest level in Rasmussen Reports’ polling to date.

Our latest national telephone survey finds that just 32% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the government should require every American to buy or obtain health insurance. This number has been trending down all year and is the lowest level of support since we began asking this question regularly in 2012. Most voters (56%) continue to oppose Obamacare’s insurance requirement, but this is the highest level of opposition in nearly two years. Twelve percent (12%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on October 22 and 25, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Elkford Transfer Station

The Elkford Transfer Station is located in the Elkford Industrial Park at #6 Inkaneep Road.

Hours of Operation:

Tuesday to Friday 9:30 am to 3:00 pm
Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
(closed Monday, Sunday and on Family Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day)
Phone: 250-865-4644

Popular Links:

Even though the Transfer Station is designed to collect garbage from both residential vehicles and District Garbage Trucks, you will find all kinds of opportunities to recycle or leave items for reuse so they don't end up in the landfill.

Recycling at the Transfer Station:

The first thing you'll notice when entering the site, is the yellow bin recycle area. They yellow bins take all your paper, cardboard, tin/aluminum cans, grocery bags and household plastics #1-#6 (except Styrofoam). These same items can be recycled in the blue bag recycling program in Fernie.  There are also bins at the Fernie Transfer Station for Glass. the only glass that can be recycled is container glass (any glass container that holds food or beverages in the grocery store).

There are also areas to recycle your scrap metal, clean wood waste, yard waste, auto batteries and propane tanks.

About Tires:

There is an area at the Transfer Station for tires; however, they are subject to a tipping fee and we strongly encourage residents to take their tires elsewhere.  We have a tipping fee on tires because it costs us to handle and transport them.  When you pay an eco fee on tires, it goes to Tire Stewardship BC, a Provincial non-profit society established to ensure the collection and recycling of tires. The RDEK does not get any funding from that program; however, you can take 4 tires at a time (off rim) to the following Elk Valley locations FREE OF CHARGE:

  • Kal Tire - Sparwood
  • Canadian Tire Fernie
  • Day Auto
  • Fernie Auto Parts
  • Fernie Chrysler
  • Fernie Ford

There is a Reuse Centre at the Elkford Transfer Station, which accepts household items in good working condition.  It's free to drop items off, and free to pick items up at the Reuse Centre.  Some examples of things that can be taken to the Reuse Centre include:

  • Chairs
  • Furniture
  • Books/Toys
  • Light fixtures
  • Pictures
  • Small dishes

Items that CANNOT be accepted in the Reuse Centre include: large appliances, scrap metal, wood, clothing, automotive parts and mattresses.

Televisions should be taken to the Fernie Bottle Depot for recycling.

Freie Universität Berlin has been selected as new Intel® Parallel Computing Center (Intel® PCC)

The Intel® PCC program supports universities, institutions, and labs identified as leaders in their fields. It focuses on modernizing applications or software libraries to increase performance on modern microprocessors and coprocessors using parallel computing.

Parallel computing involves the simultaneous operation of multiple processors running elements of a computer program at the same time and is hence much faster than executing the operations sequentially, one after another. This necessitates routines to address the proper use of cores, caches, threads, and vector capabilities of the hardware as well as synchronization routines for parallel computations.

The latest Intel® PCC will be led by Knut Reinert, who is professor for Bioinformatics at the department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Freie Universität (FU) Berlin and a fellow at the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics. Mr. Reinert’s research focuses on providing efficient tools for the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data stemming from a technology breakthrough several years ago which enables the cheap sequencing of terabytes of genomic sequence. The Reinert lab based its application development on well-designed algorithmic components and their implementation in the SeqAn C++ software library.

The SeqAn library is well-established and used worldwide in numerous analysis tools for NGS analysis. Since this year, it has also been supported in the CIBI center as part of the German bioinformatics infrastructure network (de.NBI), demonstrating its leading role in the development of new analysis tools for biomedical applications.

“We are very glad that Intel supports our vision for moving biomedical software development forward. SeqAn is a software library containing well designed key components for sequence analysis and we always thought that parallelizing and vectorizing key components of SeqAn will have a big impact on the field by accelerating many applications that make use of those components.”

Knut Reinert, PI

The center will work on abstracting primitives in SeqAn’s template based core to offer a unified interface to multicore and SIMD vector units including the Intel® Xeon and Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors and then accelerate key routines like alignment algorithms or traversing data parallel containers. The generic design of SeqAn makes it well-suited for this approach.

“Intel regards SeqAn as a very promising software package that has all the right ingredients to considerably speed up Next Generation Sequencing analysis on modern Intel processors. We are looking forward to collaborating with Professor Reinert and his team to add our technical know-how about Intel® Architecture and combine it with his algorithmic expertise, and in this way turn SeqAn into a premier software tool in this domain of rapidly growing importance.”

Kristina Kermanshahche
Chief Architect, Intel® Health & Life Sciences

The above strategy will accelerate existing and future applications based on the free SeqAn library (under BSD license) and make hardware acceleration easily available for developers. The FU Berlin will benefit from its role as an Intel® PCC by working with Intel experts and their software tools, and advanced technologies. The Reinert lab will incorporate its work in advanced tutorials and courses at FU Berlin and looks forward to sharing its findings at conferences such as the International Supercomputing Conference and the Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor User Group (IXPUG) meetings.

Proteome analysis using HPLC/MS

In the context of HPLC-MS we worked during the report period in several applied projects on pipelines for quantitative HPLC-MS analysis. In the next years, we will work on more basic research questions, namely on the problem of protein identification resp. protein inference from a set of HPLC-MS measurements. The traditional algorithmic approach for protein identification disregards the inherent information wealth available in a set of mass spectra. By blindly splitting the identification of fragment spectra into several parts, it is not possible that peptide identifcations re-enforce each other and evidence from one spectrum supports the identi cation of a similar one. Further, the MS1 spectra carry more information that is of relevance for identification than just the parent mass of the fragmentation. This information such as further supporting mass positions or retention time information regularly remains either unobserved or is only used out of context and thereby lost for further steps. For more informations about OpenMS click here or read [1, 2].

 In and near Worms. Od. the rocks would have been adobe brick.

This picture give you a view that gives a great perspective of how homes were built.

Nebraska State Historical Society Photo by David Murphy - Aug. 1976

"Detail of adobe bricks on Wilhelm Pfaff Adobe House (BD00-4)"

Back in 1977 I was contacted by David Murphy, a Nebraska State  Architect for the Nebraska State Historical Society ,  about the Wilhelm Pfaff home which the state hoped to use as an example for the historical research of early settlers of the state.  He was kind enough to send the following pictures which gives a great look of what our ancestors built not just in the USA because this is how the Pfaff built their homes in and near Odessa, Southern Russia.  My Pfaff ancestors who lived near Worms supplied the villagers with the melted [liquid] lime stone.

My grandfather, Edward Remick, who's mothers was Pauline , nee Pfaff, Roemmich,  use to make extra money when he was four to six years old, counting the adobe balls which wrapped around the lime that were heated in a out door kiln and when the lime turned to liquid form it was carried to the home that was being plastered.

I wrote David and explained to him what I knew about the building  process and some of the background on the Pfaff families who had settled in Nebraska

Thanks to David, I can, now share them with you.

Dixons Carphone unveils PoS Imaging Wall

Dixons Carphone unveils PoS  Imaging Wall
Tuesday September 13 2016

Dixons Carphone has revealed a new point-of-sale (PoS) imaging wall to promote its mid-range cameras

Detecting when one of the £300 – £400 digital SLRs is picked up, the imaging wall guides the customer through curated product information tailored to the model they’re holding.

The hands-on shopping experience is built around a pair of screens and a series of mounts for the cameras.

It was developed in partnership with Rudi Group through Dixons Carphone, who helped create the design and provided the media hardware, which includes a ‘Pick Up and Play’ functionality.

Digital design company Creative Engine then provided the interactive content which forms the basis of the imaging wall.

Andy Candler, digital retail expert and managing director at The Creative Engine, said: "Collaborating with Dixons Carphone and Rudi Group to deliver the Dixons Carphone idea and concept has been enlightening and extremely successful, and the response to the reworked installation has been tremendous. Dixons Carphone already have plans to roll it out to further flagship sites, which is a very exciting opportunity, not only for them but also for its customers who will be interacting with products in a whole new way."

Behind the scenes, the installation monitors how customers interact with each product. The data log, which will include details of the most popular products by both store and region, will aid Dixons Carphone better understand its customer.

The imaging wall is currently being utilised at stores in Croydon and Southampton.

Rhino Attend IAA 2018 In Hannover

Earlier this month Rhino Products returned to IAA Nutzfahrzeuge 2018 in Hannover to showcase our commercial vehicle accessory ranges.

IAA Nutzfahrzeuge has become an important international platform for us to highlight our latest product innovations in Europe. This year our stand had a particular focus on steps with a dedicated ‘Step Zone’. This featured our SafeStep™, TowStep™ and TowStep™ Duo as well as outlining an exciting new system for integrating OEM reverse parking sensors from vans directly into our range of rear access van steps called Connect+.

Our interactive ImpactStep™ display, which demonstrated the protection this revolutionary step provides against parking and loading impacts by imitating the motion of the step colliding with a bollard once a button is pressed by passers-by also, proved to be very popular.

Overall IAA 2018 was a huge success and it was a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues, customers and clients from across the continent. We look forward to returning to the show in the future.

Nordic Prize Nominations

I mentioned this yesterday in passing, but the nominations for this year’s Nordic Literature Prize have recently been announced. And yes, despite the intro paragraph reference to 2005, these are all books published in Nordic countries during 2008.

Aside from Petterson, there are only a couple authors on this list them I’m familiar with. This award is consistently given to really good books (here’s a list of past winners including Jan Kjaerstad’s The Discoverer, which we’re bringing out next fall), so this list of authors is worth checking out.

The winner will be announced on April 3rd.

grumpy girlSo now we know. According to a survey by the Federation of Private Businesses reported recently in the Telegraph, 52 percent of small firms surveyed believe that social media is of no use to their businesses.

Oh dear.

Of course there’s a bit of deliberate provocation here (as already pointed out by one commenter to the site, 48% therefore think social media is valuable…and we’d guess that no “I don’t know” option was offered). That aside, we’ve all met a few business owners  who feel that way.

Writing off a whole communications channel just at the time when starting to use it could pay real dividends in the future, seems like rather an overreaction to us!

So, what’s going on here? The survey respondants can’t all be daft. The same report suggests that one in five of them don’t even have a website, so they must have exceptional skills in something to be staying in business at all…

We’ve all experienced that feeling of “there might be something to this – but I’m up to my ears already”. It seems to us that this might just be behind some of those negative responses. Almost every day there’s a new story about social media, and for many people, that translates into feeling irritated, harassed, threatened, confused and downright fed up with hearing about “that bl**dy Twitter” and the like.

Here’s what we’d say to those people – well, right after “calm down, and don’t write this off until you’ve thought about it properly”!

Social media is a communications channel. Nothing more, nothing less. What you make of it is down to the type of business you own, and the communications skills at your disposal. To write social media off in its entirety as “useless” makes about as much sense as saying “oh yes, telephones – waste of time” or “printed word – i’ll have no truck with that in my line of work”. There will be some circumstances where those ways of communicating are less crucial, sure – but we’re very much doubting that there are *any* where there’s no potential for using those “technologies” to help a business to grow, or work more efficiently.

The next thing we’d say is – check out our upcoming blog posts, where we’re going to take a no-hype look at some of the key uses of social media for businesses.

President’s Report 2012-13 + AGM minutes + Finance Report

Welcome to GDCA Season 2013/14

As we enter into a new cricket season full of anticipation and excitement for our great club, I wish to extend my best wishes to all players, members, parents and supporters within the Rupertswood Cricket family (new and existing) and hope that the season brings you success but more importantly great enjoyment.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors for their tremendous support, in particular, Index Painting & Decorating for a third successive year as our major sponsor and we welcome new Gold Sponsor, Vic’s Cucina & Bar together with new Cap Sponsor, Green Gables Plumbing Pty Ltd.

Our practice nets have recently been rewired and extended nearest the car park side for safety measures plus a new pitch surface installed on the Soccer Oval (affectionately referred to as the ‘Mecca’), hence our continued emphasis on providing the best facilities we can for our club as a whole.

Much of this has been made possible via the generous support of the Sunbury Helping Hands/Bendigo Bank Community Grants initiative for which we are most appreciative.

Our website continues to evolve and I encourage everyone to visit the site for updates on events and information throughout the season which has links to My Cricket together with other items of interest.

As always, in which ever way we participate in this great game, let us all ensure we do so in the true spirit of cricket with respect for everyone involved.

Looking forward to a great season.

Go Rupo!

2012 Message from the Rupertswood Cricket Club President – Michael Riley

5 October 2012

Season 2012/13 begins!

On behalf of the RCC Committee, welcome everyone – current members and new members alike to the start of the 2012/13 GDCA season.

I firmly believe we are even more well equipped to build on the many positives that were gained last season and again meet the challenges that lay before us head on.

With the end of football season, training numbers are steadily increasing and from my observations particularly in the last couple of weeks there has been a real buzz and sense of excitement as the commencement of the season proper draws closer.

We may be predominantly a very youthful playing squad but you cannot quell enthusiasm and an eagerness to compete which I believe we have in spades in our club and that will stand us in good stead both now and in the future.

Our newly appointed Senior Coach and Captain of our McIntyre XI, John Lane has certainly led the way with our senior group putting together a well structured training regime covering all aspects of the game with a strong emphasis on fielding drills.

This is an area across the board upon review of last season (both senior and junior) that warranted a great deal of focus and I am certain the hard work being done in this area by all players and coaches will reap the benefits moving forward.

John has been again ably assisted by our Vice President and Chairman of Selectors, Mark Williams in season preparations and they have built a great team of people around them to share the load in providing well co-ordinated training sessions and support.

People such as Brett Hudd, Julian Kearney and Craig Fitzgerald have already had a great impact and the responsibility is being shared amongst the group and will continue to do so in working hard to be the best we can be.

I know this is happening at junior level also through the co-ordinating efforts of Peter Kavanagh and am confident that momentum will continue to build throughout the season.

Notably, we have our Junior Season Launch next Thursday evening at the clubrooms which will also give an opportunity for both senior and junior members to interact.

Details of this are on our new website which has been magnificently constructed by our Communications Manager, Gavin Clifford together with assistance from the ever reliable Life Member and Treasurer, Trevor Harris.

Gavin will perform an overview for club members, parents and supporters alike at the launch noting that this will become our main source of information covering all aspects of our great club.

It has been very exciting watching this come together and how it will improve our communication across the board with some great initiatives such as RupoCam to be added.

Many of you may have noticed some of the works happening at our grounds with a new pitch being installed at the Pine Oval and cosmetic works to the Main Oval.

New carpets will be laid on the new Pine Oval pitch plus fourth practice net next week with some patch up work to be carried out on the Main Oval and Rupo no 3 pitches also.

Our MILO in2CRICKET season will also be under way before long with senior player James Natsis being the co-ordinator so stay tune for more details shortly.

A list of club contacts is detailed on the website for your reference and we welcome any queries, feedback or input you may have.

Whether participating on the field or supporting from the sidelines, all of us must keep in mind our Mission Statement and Code of Ethics as detailed on our website and displayed in the clubrooms.

Good luck to all teams as we look forward to an enjoyable, fun-filled and exciting cricket season ahead, as all of us strive to make the Rupertswood Cricket Club the best it can be.

Thank you

Mick Riley

Message from the Rupertswood Cricket Club President – Michael Riley

Wrap-up of Rupertswood Cricket Club Season 2011/12

Given the season has now drawn  to a close, and further to our Senior and Junior Presentation Functions last weekend, on behalf of our committee I want to again thank everyone involved in our great club for their contribution and support for the season past.

As I conveyed in my opening message on the club website prior to the beginning of the season, I believed there were going to be challenges but with that, great opportunities to further develop our club to be the best it can be. We still have a lot of work to do in continuing to improve our club but we are blessed with many great people who have the best interests of the club at heart and share the core values expressed in our mission statement. With this in mind, the club will continue to grow and prosper.

I expressed at both our Senior and Junior Presentations the great excitement we have as a club with the wealth of young talent developing within our ranks. This combined with what I also believe to be a formidable group of senior players also present at the club will hold us in good stead to make an indelible mark on the competition in the years to come.

Well done to all teams, players, coaches, parents and supporters on their efforts. Congratulations to both our U/16 teams in reaching the grand final and for the way in which you all displayed the Rupertswood spirit, and of course to Rupertswood U/16 Blue who are GDCA Premiers for season 2011/12.

All award recipients, both Senior and Junior, are to be congratulated but special mention to our new Life member, Luke Reddan whose enormous contribution to our club over many years was officially recognized together with Mark Williams, current Vice President voted Best Club Person of the Year. A big thankyou also to our specialist coach and English import, Tristram Douglas for his overall contribution to our club throughout the season. Tristram heads home to the U.K in mid April . Whatever happens, he will always be a welcome member at our club.

A big thank-you to Salesian College for the continued use of the facilities for which we should all be grateful and never take for granted.

Finally,to everyone stay safe and happy during the year and we look forward to an exciting 2012/13 forthcoming season. Our revamped website should be operational prior to the end of June and this will be an area of focus to share information across the board going forward.

Best Regards,
Mick Riley

text: WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Indiana farmers who had worried that wet spring weather would prevent them from planting some of their corn fields have made rapid progress getting the state's top crop in the ground. The federal government's weekly crop report says that as of Sunday, 86 percent of Indiana's corn crop had been planted. That puts Indiana ahead of the five-year average of 77 percent for corn planted by late May. Purdue Extension corn specialist Bob Nielsen says favorable soil conditions and high-capacity planting machinery allowed Indiana's farmers to plant 78 percent of their corn crop in the past three weeks. Fifty-six percent of the corn crop had already emerged. Farmers have planted 60 percent of the soybean crop, compared with the five-year average of 49 percent. Soybeans typically are planted after corn.

Richard Edgar “Dick” Buzbee, 86, former editor-publisher of The Hutchinson News, died early Wednesday, June 6, at Via Christi Hospital-Francis, Wichita.

Indications of brain cancer did not appear until fairly recently. He went to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center initially and then was transferred to Wichita. A surgical biopsy exacted a toll on his health, but the family had been optimistic when he began chemotherapy Monday.

Buzbee is survived by his wife, Marie Buzbee, and sons Bill Buzbee, California, and Jim Buzbee, Colorado, and daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Elliott Mortuary and Crematory is in charge of arrangements. Services are pending.

Great Depression

Buzbee was a child of the Great Depression, born in 1931 in south-central Arkansas. He grew up in a house without indoor plumbing. Buzbee suspected his crooked pinky fingers were due to early malnutrition.

He talked about the hardships of his childhood only later in life, his sons said. He sold Coca-Cola by the highway and went door-to-door selling newspapers, saving his money. He had enough to afford one year of college at the University of Arkansas, renting a cot in a hallway in a house. Out of money after the first year, Buzbee was encouraged by a high school teacher to apply for a new type of military program enabling him to go to college. An excellent student, he emerged with degrees in journalism and political science from the University of Missouri and was commissioned in the U.S. Navy.

The Buzbees had met during the college years in Columbia, Missouri, and the young married couple’s first son, Robert, was born while Buzbee was stationed on a ship.

Buzbee returned to Missouri for a graduate degree, but an opportunity for the former Naval officer to become a newspaper management intern with the Kansas-based Harris Group arose in 1957. He took it.

The growing family lived in Chanute and Burlington, Iowa, before arriving in Olathe in 1960. Buzbee was charged with halting the financial losses in Olathe in six months. He met the challenge.

He was active in the community, serving as president of the Olathe Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the American Red Cross, and a member of the Public Building Commission. On Fridays, Buzbee would drop by the Olathe Public Library to check out a stack of books already selected for him by the librarian.

As sons Bill and Jim Buzbee talked about their father Wednesday afternoon, they described a man they loved, not feared. Sometimes their father would say, “‘Marie, get a board and beat those kids to death,’’ and then he would leave the room,” Jim Buzbee said.

In 1979, Buzbee was tapped for the top job at Harris’ flagship newspaper, The Hutchinson News. He not only succeeded Stuart Awbrey at The News, but the Buzbee family bought the Awbrey home on Crescent Boulevard.

Making Hutch home

John Lee, who also would become an executive intern with Harris and eventually chief executive officer for Harris Enterprises Inc. before retiring, regarded Buzbee as a great mentor and friend.

“Dick Buzbee was a wonderful writer and an astute observer, and I think he was among the very best of his generation in Kansas newspapers. In Harris Group meetings at that time, his voice was never the loudest or most urgent - but if you paid attention you realized soon enough that his advice was invariably the most useful,” Lee wrote.

Buzbee became adept on the computer later in life, but at the paper, he produced editorials on a manual typewriter. Buzbee displayed nerve and a penchant to provoke debate.

He blasted Congress in 1990 for its lack of debate about foreign policy. “They’re AWOL. They shouldn’t be. Forget about drafting young men and women into public service. Draft Congress” began a Buzbee editorial.

He inspired letters to the Western Front.

“It was not surprising that Buzbee had high praise for his philosophically-liberal kin,” wrote C. Keith Siglar, after Buzbee had praised the late Supreme Court Justice William Brennan.

Harold Stickney zeroed in on Buzbee’s description of the “grandmotherly” Joan Finney, a Kansas politician who became governor.

“Grandmotherly figure? May her tribe increase,” Stickney wrote.

Floyd Krehbiel, the owner of Moundridge Telephone Co., was a Buzbee critic and callers dialing for the time and temperature would also hear Krehbiel offering a message to counter Buzbee.

Buzbee was a dove during the Vietnam War, but he and a war hawk in Olathe collaborated on fundraising campaigns to help bring soldiers back home for Christmas and the holidays. Those campaigns made national news.

The community involvement Buzbee showed in Olathe was visible after the family moved here. He was chairman of the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the Hutchinson Public Library board, president of the Hutchinson Symphony, and active at Trinity United Methodist Church and in the Rotary Club.

On the go

Buzbee retired in his early 60s and he and Marie traveled to such places as China, Egypt, Panama, and France. Christmas traditions at home included a large Christmas tree and an abundance of presents for the family.

He had served on the USS Wisconsin, USS Macon, USS Pickaway, and the USS Polk County, and was active in organizing reunions of shipmates. He compiled volumes after delving into family genealogy.

He played tennis and walked several miles a day, enjoying good health but not escaping tragedies.

A granddaughter, Anne Marie Buzbee, died several years before he retired. In 2006, son Robert died of brain cancer at age 50, and in 2016, son John died of colon cancer at age 50. Bill and Jim Buzbee recall a father who was “fairly stoic,”

After Marie Buzbee’s health slipped, she moved to the Wesley Towers retirement community. He routinely visited her twice a day, about two hours each visit.

“He was a hero,” Bill Buzbee said.

“A lot of decisions I have made in my life were based on what he would have done,” Jim Buzbee said.

BETHANY MEN 95, BETHEL 84: At North Newton, the Bethany men took control in the game’s final 10 minutes to pick up a road victory over Bethel on Wednesday night.

The Swedes, who trailed by as many as 11 points in the first half and seven in the second, took the lead for good on a Lavaris Duncan free throw with 9:24 remaining in the second half to break a 61-all tie. That also started a 20-6 Bethany run that put the visitors up 81-67 with less than four minutes to play.

Bethany (6-5 overall, 3-3 KCAC) got a huge night from Duncan, who finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Tyler Larkin scored 26 points for the Swedes, matching his season high scored last week against Oklahoma Wesleyan. Larkin has now scored 20 points or more in his last five games.

Isiah Saenz added 16 points, Mitchell Brown had 11 and Jovan Elezovic finished with 10 for Bethany. Bethel (5-5, 2-4) was led by Terrell Marshall with 20 points.

BETHEL WOMEN 58, BETHANY 49: At North Newton, a rough third quarter proved to be the difference as Bethany fell in a KCAC contest with Bethel on Wednesday night.

Bethany led through most of the first half and was up 22-18 at halftime, but the Swedes were outscored 23-11 in the third period and never recovered. Bethany was still up 28-26 after a Halei Wortham basket with 6:25 to play in the third, but the Threshers closed the quarter with a 15-5 run to go in front 41-33.

The Swedes got as close as two points in the fourth quarter after a pair of free throws from Alex Tyson made it 43-41, but a 9-1 Bethel run over the next four minutes put the game out of reach.

Bethany (7-5 overall, 3-3 KCAC) was led by Cassidy Enns with 20 points and Sent Atkius had nine points and eight rebounds. Bethel (10-1, 5-1) got 16 points from Jade Brown and 12 from Riley Schmieder.

K-STATE WOMEN 73, LAMAR 55 — At Manhattan, senior guard Kayla Goth had 20 points and 10 assists and junior forward Peyton Williams 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Wildcats separated in the second half.

Forward Kali Jones blocked eight shots, tying a K-State single-game record, as the Wildcats improved to 6-2. Lamar, which won recently at nationally ranked Texas A&M, dropped to 5-4.

K-State used a 17-6 run to close the first half to take a 33-29 halftime lead, then responded by outscoring Lamar 23-9 in the third quarter to take control.

Leading by just four at half, K-State outscored Lamar 23-9 in the third quarter to take control.

NEBRASKA WOMEN 58, KANSAS 52 — At Lincoln, Neb., the Huskers handed the Jayhawks their first loss of the season.

Taylor Kissinger led the Huskers, who had dropped four of their last five games, with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Nebraska (3-5) trailed 19-11 before going on a 17-2 run in the final five minutes of the first half.

Kansas (6-1) was led by Kylee Kopatich (14 points, 9 rebounds) and Mariane De Carvalho (11 points). The Jayhawks shot a season-low 25.3 percent from the floor.

«Forest carbon» projects

Protecting forests is fighting against the greenhouse effect, but also preserving biodiversity, water resources, soil fertility, producing timber: that is why we use the carbon finance to support the design and implementation of forestry projects.

Issues: Tree growth stores carbon and forest destruction releases it. The Kyoto Protocol (1997) and the Marrakesh Accords (2001) of the Climate Convention have only played a marginal role in promoting reforestation projects aiming at removing carbon from the atmosphere. Since the launch of the REDD+ mechanism at the Bali Climate Conference (2007), the subject has been raised again and the international community agrees on the fact that the protection of forests must be part of the answer to climate change. To identify reforestation and avoided deforestation actions that effectively mitigate the greenhouse effect, while not being harmful to biodiversity, local communities, etc., and replicable on a large scale and at low cost, pilot field projects have to be supported now. Carbon finance is a lever for action, even if the forestry sector has so far only 6% of the carbon market volume.

Services: Carbon credits related to the Kyoto Protocol or to voluntary carbon markets, methodologies in use under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the "Verified Carbon Standard" (VCS), the "Gold Standard", or the "Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard" (CCBS), control of land eligibility, notions of additionality, baseline scenario, "leakage" monitoring (displacement of emissions outside the project area), compliance with environmental and social safeguards… forest carbon project developers must master many technical, financial and legal concepts, etc. We have this knowledge and we share it with project developers: advisory support in the design (Plan Idea Note (PIN), Project Design Document (PDD), carbon monitoring plan, etc.) and the implementation of REDD+, improved forest management (IFM) and afforestation or reforestation (AR) projects. We also assist the fundraising and the signing of emission reductions purchase agreements (ERPA), as well as the monitoring and evaluation of projects.

Splendid Springtime Shawl

It's been one of those weeks where I felt as though I was always doing something, but don't have a lot to show for my endeavours. The housecleaning I have done is no longer apparent, the laundry I washed is now filling up the dirty washing hamper, the food I have cooked and cakes which I baked have all been eaten.

I've created and added one scrappy black/white/grey border (side) to my Scrappy Rainbow Quilt and I have spent time slowly hand sewing my EPP hexagon flowers to the background diamonds for the Kingfisher Quilt Stitch Along. These are all things which will take time, but aren't fulfilling my need for a fast finish with a result.

And then along came the Splendid Springtime Shawl. I searched for a shawl tutorial on YouTube and came across this fun one by 'Jayda InStitches' - I loved that it was made with self striping yarn cake/s and a bigger hook that required. I had a bag of mill-ends from Spotlight, so got to work and have a lovely soft, drapey shawl to wear over my shoulders during these cold evenings.

As it was a mill-end bag, the yarn cakes were all small and so the stripes aren't perfect. It's a good thing that I love the scrappy look so much. I still have a few little ends to hide within the shawl and it honestly could do with some blocking, but I doubt either of these will happen before it gets used this evening.

If you'd like to make a 'Splendid Springtime Shawl', this is the link to the tutorial which I used.

  1. very pretty - looks like fun to crochet!

  2. Oh I wish crochet. Sigh.
    I have had two people try to teach me and it ends up being an exercise in frustration.
    I guess we can’t be good at everything can we? I can paint. So I’ll stick to that.
    Love the colours in the shawl.

    Ps My son uses my google account for you tube, hence the strange name 🙄
