Happy Birthday Lyn! - P365 # 238

My sister Lyn, is celebrating her birthday today. May God bless you with good health and shower you with lots of blessings.
August 27, 2011:
  • We will be busy today.  I have to cook a dish for Bumble Bee's birthday celebration.  She is turning 1 year old in three days but  they are celebrating her birthday today.
  • I let our  rabbit earlier this morning but it turned out chaotic when  the  wandering cat at our neighborhood got inside the fence and tried to nail our rabbit.  The cat also attacked our dog.  So I sprayed the cat with water, that's when he  climbed out the fence.  My daughter was crying while the cat was  chasing  Wubzy.

Happy Birthday to your sister Lyn. May she have many more blessed and abundant birthdays to come. It was unfortunate that when you let your rabbit out of its cage your neighbor's cat came in and chased it. Good thing you were there and was able to shoo away the cat with water. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.

5 Ways to Organize Your Kitchen

While flipping through magazines, it is so easy to be in awe of the beautiful dream kitchens. The cupboard doors are gleaming and pristine, there is no clutter anywhere, every food item is categorized and everything is new and sparkling. Now for a reality check. The pile of papers on your kitchen bench seems to be growing taller every day, the pantry is in disarray and you are sick of tidying out the plastic storage drawer. It is so easy to amass a collection of every size container imaginable.

Sort and discard

Anything you haven’t used for months, discard or give to charity. All the useful gadgets that do the most amazing things, if you haven’t even tried them, it’s probably time to get rid of them. Dispose of all the odd china plates, the containers with no lids and anything that you've been hanging on to for years but have never used.

Use labels

If you store spices and condiments in plastic ware, instead of tipping it upside down to try and work out what’s in there, why not label them? You can order personalized stickers online for help with this. If transferring packaged products to containers, cut off the use by date and tape to the inside of the lid.

If you are constantly reaching up high to use crockery daily, why not rearrange these items to a more reachable level? This will not only save strain on your back, but constantly used items will be within easy reach.

Clear the benches

Try to have clutter free bench tops. If you are accumulating paperwork that needs to be looked at later, medications or knick knacks, try to find an alternative space for these. Anything that really doesn’t need to be there, shouldn't be there. Give all these items their own space somewhere else.

Get rid of the junk drawer

Every kitchen seems to have one. It is full of things that ‘might come in handy’. Rubber bands, twist ties, batteries, sticky tape, screws, tools, these are all things that could easily be relocated. Use plastic storage containers, categorized and properly labelled, for all the small items that you do use occasionally. Discard all the other useless bits and pieces in the junk drawer.

 When organizing your kitchen, you have to be ruthless. There is no room for hoarding or storing something that ‘you may use one day’. Have a look at the cheap stickers online available to order on Vistaprint website. You can choose colors to coordinate with your kitchen. You can also select decorative pictures to identify items such as spices, baking ingredients and dry goods such as rice and cereal. Being realistic, kitchens will need organizing every few months. This is a good opportunity to go through the pantry and discard anything that is past its use by date. However, if your first kitchen organisation is conducted logically, with things labelled and rearranged, it will be much easier to give your kitchen an organisational touch up in the future.

Started in neck, now in hands and feet??

Hi everyone,

This site has been very comforting for me as of late but I've decided to reach out with my story. I'm a healthy (I think!) 31 year old female who is going on 6 months of constant and spreading pain.

It began this spring when I was working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week on a laptop (hunched over like a Neanderthal, I now recognize). Also began going to the gym lifting my little heart out and wincing at the pain at the back of my head each time I tried to look in the mirror a tree my dumbell posture. (Dumb, alright). I began noticing a tingling nerve sensation at the back of my neck about the size of a quarter while I was on my laptop. Then tingling down my arm. I would shake it out and move on. Came and went only as I worked on my laptop. 3 months later I was working less but the pain was constant and moved to my left hand as well.

Between July and now (December) the pain has spread to my wrists, shoulders, lower back, and feet. My feet are numb and tingly all the time. My neck cracks when it never used to and driving gives me such great electric shocks down my neck, shoulders and even into my toes that I avoid it as much as possible. Walking and baths seem to be best. (And wine). I have gone to physio, chiro, osteo, massage, acupuncture. No help. I have had an MRI of head and neck - all clear. I have had an insane amount of bloodwork. I am desperate. I hate Lyrica.

Chiro thinks possible spinal cord compression. Doctor thinks I'm crazy but also wants to keep ruling out MS but I know this all started with my Neanderthal laptop posture and 3-month gym habit. I have an EMG the end of February with a Neurologist which is great but I can't wait till then for what may be more question marks. Or a four month wait for a full spine MRI (Canada is great but there's a long wait). This is hurting my work, my relationship, my life overall, in so many ways. I know many of you have experienced similar frustrations and have done your research. Any suggestions or words of support would be so greatly appreciated!

    I personally would want more information on source of pain before I continued with chiropractic care.
    They definitely have their place, but when working with unknown, I wouldn't want manipulations.

    There are other tests that doctors can do besides the MRI....which is very important, but may not show all.
    My primary tried working with my pain two years before referring me to pain management.
    Best thing for me!

    He did variety of tests, that I wasn't even aware of at that time.
    Everyine is different, but EMG was very informative to me and my doctor.
    On site here, you will read of different pain levels during EMG testing.
    For myself, it was uneventful.

    Also, PM doctor understood my pain and worked with me to get the edge off of it.
    Re your doctor thinks your crazy, sadly many of us have heard that.
    You may be interested in reading discussion...It's All in Your Head.
    I just continued to repeat my symptoms and if any meds tor treatment effective or not...until someone helped me.
    Im very grateful for my PM doctor!

    My previous doctor also wanted to rule out MS...which was ruled out.
    I think ruling out issues is as important as trying to find cause of pain.

    Similiarly, when my doctor ordered epidurals, which I'm in no way saying that you need!...but for me, even when some of them not effective, they were still useful for doctor as with fluoroscope, Doctor was able to view particular area up close and personal.

    Did your doctor give you any limitations, or restrictions, to see if pain lessens? Just curious.

    You may be interested in reading...Chronic Pain Step by Step....can find by search, upper right on page.
    Trying to discover source of pain and to find treatment can be a little trial and try again.

    I experience about same thing it started 2 years ago as a bad headache an neck tension and it got bad end up in ER and they ran ct scan an bunch test an couldn't find anything. I went off to physiotherapy and things calm down to one or 2 day flare up an Advil help. This pass spring it got really bad and it stay for months final got xray an it show degenerative disc disease with biltral neural forminal stenosis and then had MRI in Nov and more came out. I had the same type job as you. I live in ontario I understand canada wait. And the rules as surgery as last resort. I still do physiotherapy daily and my pain levels are quite down and I am off the job of having my head forward posture of looking at papers to input for the computer. My doctor in the new year wants to try me on a low dosage of Gabapentin. Hope you get answers from the specialists.
  • Thanks so much for your comments. I am wary of the chiro but also so drawn to him as he seems to be the only one who is close to diagnosing this! He said it truly sounds like spinal cord compression. Alas. Hopefully the EMG will show something - he seemed to think it wouldn't, as I'm having pain and nerve sensation in so many places.

    It definitely started in my neck but now it seems like it begins lower, so I'm wondering if I should have an MRI of the lower part of my spine. I had X-rays yesterday so hopefully my doctor will have some sort of clue. But they were also only of my neck... I guess the problem could be anywhere on the spine? The lower back pain got way worse as my feet got way worse. Tingling underneath my arch all the time! And twitchy foot muscles. But no actual weakness. I truly find it hard to believe this all could have started from hunched over computer use and weight lifting!! But it would certainly be better than MS. What tests other than an MRI did you have? I had an MRI of head and neck three years ago for an unrelated symptom and that was also clear.

    My doctor gave me Lyrica and basically said to wait for the EMG with the neurologist. Because there was nothing in the head/neck MRI he seems to think there is nothing wrong. So 9 more weeks of hellish waiting I guess. Unless the X-ray showed something. He does seem to think I'm just stressed or anxious but this is the only thing making me stressed! It keeps getting worse and worse. I am afraid of where it will be in 9 weeks :( It went from 75% better in November to the absolute worse it's ever been. After a long bus ride (8 hrs) to my friend's and a couple of nights on an uncomfy couch the pain came back in my wrists and ankles with a vengeance and developed into all this. Right now it's actually the foot tingling that is most upsetting.

    Anyhoo, thanks! I'll definitely check out the rest of the site :)

Summary Block as a Location-based Photo Blog

In this example, I am using a Summary Block to pull in images and display meta data that is associated with the images in my Gallery Page. You can't see the location or date on the Gallery Blocks or Gallery Page, but here they are, showing up nicely on this Summary Block. Clicking on the location will open the Google Map for that place, and clicking the image will open it in a lightbox.

How you'd do it on your website:

  1. Create a Gallery Page, but put it in your Not Linked section. This will be the source of the data, but it won't be the page that your visitors see.
  2. Upload your images to that source Gallery Page, and set all the attributes you want to use for each image (title, description, location).
  3. Create a standard page in your Main Navigation. This will be the page your visitors see.
  4. In that page, insert a Summary Block, set it to pull from the Gallery Page, and select the settings you want for your Primary and Secondary Metadata

I added some custom CSS to stop making the image titles into links, because those links point to the Gallery page that's in the Not Linked section.

SquareMeal Review of Paesan

A champion of ‘cucina povera’ on Exmouth Market, “pretty perfect Paesan” has all the now-familiar accoutrements made famous by the likes of Polpo – think bare brick walls, rustic furniture, distressed tiles, filament light bulbs and a brown-paper menu. Drinkers can head downstairs to low-lit Paesan Underground for vintage cocktails and homemade limoncello, while hungry types should move on up to the main dining room, where it’s possible to graze happily on antipasti and ‘piccolo’ – little sharing plates, ranging from deliciously creamy Gorgonzola and pumpkin arancini to bruschetta ‘pan santo’ with black kale, pancetta and olive oil. Alternatively, go for something bigger – perhaps a gut-busting trio of meatballs with wet polenta, fennel sausage with lentils and soffritto or a “summery Sicilian special” of bucatini with sardines. Cheap set lunches, Sunday brunch and quaffable wines hit the spot, while keen prices and breezy service bolster Paesan’s fun-loving vibe.

Pretty perfect Paesan!

If what you want is good rustic Italian food then Paesan hits the spot! The ragu is outstanding! Tiramisu is very, very good.

Smashing Italian with a Clerkenwell buzz
12 June 2015
Paesan’s a good ‘un. It looks good, it sounds like good times; hell, it even smells good when something uber-garlicky wafts past. The menu’s simple to navigate, and, unusually for rustic Italian, there’s even plenty to please the pickiest Paleos out there. Oh but with such carby delights on offer, why resist? Bruschetta with pecorino, pea and mint was a wonderfully summery starter, while ‘crochettes’ with anchovy sauce were salty, savoury and delicious. Warm aubergine caponata wouldn’t be my first choice to serve with burrata (particularly on such a scorching day in the city), but it was a rich and unctuous combination. The accompanying pane carasau, a flatbread from Sardinia, was crisp, paper-thin and particularly moreish having been soused with peppery olive oil. The mains didn’t disappoint either. Risotto was spot on, with an abundance of plump prawns and traces of saffron creating a sunny, amber glow. The Sicilian special of bucatini with sardines was a smidgeon on the sweet side, but still summery, fresh and tasty. The Italian wine list offered welcome tasting notes, and our Bardolino proved to be a fitting food wine for such gutsy dishes. My only qualm was that portions were almost too generous; a vast sea of pappardelle with rabbit and wild mushrooms nearly defeated the biggest man at the table, while I barely made a dent in my trio meatballs on wet polenta. Puds, served in tumblers, looked fairly ordinary but were utterly gorgeous. Tiramisu was the favourite, but pistachio ice cream with a splash of amaretto came a close second. Espressos were fiercely strong (just as they should be) and topped off a delightful meal. We loved Paesan. Despite hogging our table for nearly four hours on a busy Thursday night, there were no polite nudges to shift us to the refurbed basement bar. It was decent value too, which is heartening given there’s something really iffy about charging a fortune for ‘peasant’ food. We racked up £50 a head for our whole evening’s entertainment, but that included aperitivos, two bottles of wine and three courses each. Bellissima!

A Gem
07 December 2014
Paesan is a real find, I really enjoyed everything I had from the roasted butternut squash starter to the pork belly to the white chocolate Panna cotta. The whole experience was excellent and one my wife and I will definitely be repeating and recommending. The restaurant itself was a bit on the noisy side but when we were there was filled to capacity. The food was excellent although the menu was slightly limited, but I would always rather a restaurant did a few things well than over stretched themselves. The wine list was good too, having Cannonau Di Sardegna was a nice surprise. The service was sometimes a little hit and miss but they were very busy and the staff themselves were very nice. Well worth a visit.

Whilst visiting Exmouth at the weekend my wife and I stumbled across Paesan – SO glad we did. We were ushered in , coats taken – we were asked what we would like to drink – the waitress guessed gin & tonic and was spot on – delicious it was too! The food was great , the low lighting made the atmosphere both romantic and quiet – yet there were plenty of people in the restaurant. Will be returning for sure!

Great venue, food and atmosphere.

Went for a work Xmas party, great service and food, highly recommend the pork belly and the anti pasta mezze board was amazing. Great bar staff and cocktails served in the downstairs bar. Will be revisiting again soon.

SRU rolls out red carpet for nonprofit “stars” at upcoming gala

Awards on a table

The stars of the nonprofit sector will be recognized with trophies resembling Oscar Awards at the Nonprofit Organization Academy Awards Dinner and Gala, April 25 at the Russell Wright Alumni House.

April 11, 2018

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - When attendees arrive for the 2018 Nonprofit Organization Academy Awards Dinner and Gala at Slippery Rock University's Russell Wright Alumni House, the red carpet will literally be rolled out for them, and with good reason.

Taking its cue from the Oscars, the event, from 6:30-9 p.m., April 25, will honor those leaders in the nonprofit sector who are considered "stars when it comes to serving their communities."

Akice Del Vecchio

"Nonprofit is not a small field by any means ... however, a lot of the time, it is one that sits in the shadows," said Kelly Ruder, a dual communication and interdisciplinary studies major from Roseville, California. "People of course recognize the larger, national nonprofits like the American Red Cross and that's wonderful, but our event provides a chance to shine a light on those smaller, local agencies that have a large impact on our communities and that's important, both in receiving recognition and spreading awareness."

Now in its fifth year, the event celebrates the accomplishments of nonprofit organizations in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Lawrence and Mercer counties.

Participating organizations are invited to nominate staff, board members, volunteers and other contributors for awards including: youth volunteer of the year, most outstanding board member and most impactful program of the year, to name a few. Winners are presented with trophies that resemble those handed out at the Oscars.

In addition to a formal dinner, the event features the aforementioned red carpet, photographers and names of attendees on stars, a la the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"This event is great service learning project for our students," said Alice Del Vecchio, assistant professor of interdisciplinary studies. "Many nonprofits stage special events throughout a year, so by taking an active role in the planning and execution of something like this, it allows our students to learn the 'nitty gritty' of just what it takes to create a successful occasion that people will remember."

Students from Del Vecchio's nonprofit philanthropy class, the Student Nonprofit Alliance and students majoring or minoring in nonprofit management coordinate the event, working within a budget and via a variety of committees including: sales and sponsorship, design, event logistics and event management.

"Being able to have a hand in an event like this is really great experience," said Ruder. "Many students don't have the opportunity to have their hands in fundraising, sponsorships, event planning and public relations on this type of scale.

"To be able to gain that experience while also taking time out to recognize these organizations for their service to others, even if just for one night, is a 'feel good' moment for everyone involved."

Karen Brackett, vice president of preferred corporate services at NexTier Bank, will act as the evening's master of ceremonies. Brackett has been with NexTier for 27 years.

Nearly 100 nominees and their guests are expected to attend the gala, featuring agencies such as the Lighthouse Foundation in Butler; Once Upon a Hero in Cranberry Township; the Glade Run Foundation in Zelienople; and the Alliance for Nonprofit Resources in Butler.

All proceeds from the gala support scholarships for students in the nonprofit management program at SRU, which is the only undergraduate institution in Pennsylvania that offers such a program.

"The whole purpose of the event is about celebrating those that have been involved in the nonprofit sector for so long and don't receive the recognition that they should for making such huge contributions in our region," said Del Vecchio. "This is their time to shine and be treated to an evening that's all about them.

"And for our students, it's about having the opportunity to make connections and spend time with those people that they will one day work alongside or work for, in making our communities that much brighter for a number of our citizens. It really is a win-win for all involved."

"Not only do we get to take an evening to let the people who do so much for so many relax and be acknowledged," said Alyssa Faidley, a sophomore communication major from Aliquippa, "but to have the chance to speak to those that are actually working in the (nonprofit) sector and ask them about what they are doing, how they are doing it and what opportunities are out there for students after graduation is a huge benefit for all of us involved."

For additional information or to submit award nominations on or before April 9, contact Del Vecchio at

Stamp Condition

Scott Modern Postage Stamp Album
1940 Edition

The most important aspects of stamp condition, to most philatelists, are the presence or absence of faults and the centering of the stamp design within the perforated borders. There are other issues to consider, with collecting mint stamps and used stamps, as well.

During the early days of stamp collecting, there were no such things as mounts or hinges. Collectors would moisten the gum on mint stamps and stick them in their albums, other collectors would "glue" used stamps into their albums, and more careful collectors used the gummed sheet margins, folding them to create customized hinges for affixing the stamp into the album space. Of course, these practices resulted in permanently damaged stamps.

Many of the greatest rarities in philately today were originally preserved in this manner. In the early 20th Century, the expert repairing of classical postage stamp was big business. Experts would fill in thin spots by adding liquefied paper, adding margins to trimmed imperforate stamps, adding perforations to stamps that were missing some or all of them, and even adding portions of the stamp designs that had been carelessly trimmed away.

Because of the way that early collectors preserved the classics, many of the rarities in the World's finest collections have been repaired in some way. For example, almost all the known examples of the Hawaii Missionary stamps, originally printed on pelure paper, are extensively repaired. The most valuable stamp in the world, recently sold for $9.5 million dollars, is the unique British Guiana Scott #13, also known as "The British Guiana One Penny Magenta".  It is severely damaged and has been extensively repaired, but due to its legacy, it is one of the most prized rarities of World philately.

The articles in this section are an overview of the physical properties and historical methods of manufacture that influence how we evaluate condition for both classic and modern postage stamps.

For detailed information on centering and the other determining factors of condition for a particular country or issue, you should consult the specialized catalog for that country. The catalogs usually have appendixes containing illustrations, to assist in grading and attribution, which I can not use here, due to the fact that most of them are copyrighted material.

Star Control: Origins Prelude 6 of 13: The Ships of Star Control

Published on Monday, August 6, 2018 By Frogboy In Star Control Journals

Not all ships are created equally.  This is particularly true for the ships of Star Control itself.  In the year 2088, the United Earth Advanced Space Vehicle Program (UEASV) had done its best given the politics involved.  But ultimately, what Star Control starts out with is a ship with very much the capabilities that a ship in 2088 would have, which is to say: it can... turtle around the solar system.

The first long-range ship program - the Vindicator program - was designed to allow the ship to be frequently updated with new modules.  Because the ship was designed to handle technology from different nations such as the United States, China, Russia, Japan, Germany, France, Brazil, etc. the interfaces are remarkably flexible.

Ironically, this need for flexibility has also made the Vindicator class well suited for plugging into alien technology that arrives...

The early concepts for the Vindicator and Earth Cruiser took inspiration from many real-world and science fiction sources. There are nods to Star Trek, Space 1999, and of course, previous Star Control games.  Our main focus was to make ships that would look and feel like ships that might actually exist by 2088.

For the Vindicator itself, we went through a great deal of consideration for this:

Early on, a lot of effort was spent coming up with different pieces that would make up the ship as you upgraded it.

The idea was that by the end of the game, your ship would look substantially different from where it started, but also still be somewhat recognizable.

More Sketches

The Vindicator Prototype

For the Cruiser, we ended up with this design:

Only Earthlings are crazy enough to put nukes on a ship. We just like them so much.

For alien ships, we tried to throw out all preconceived notions as to what an alien ship might look like.

The Mu'Kay early concept

Other ideas for the Mu'Kay

The Scryve went through many different concepts

We would find other places for some of these ideas.

It was important that the ship and the alien species felt like they went together

The Scryve's primary weapon is a big, overpowering but inflexible death beam that matches their species and cultural background.  Strong. Powerful. Unmovable.

By contrast, the Drenkend are basically cannon fodder for the Scryve.  They simply throw themselves enmasse at the enemy.

The Drenkend are just battle fodder for the Scryve

Making sure every ship was instantly distinct was central to their design.

A space ship is an extension of a civilization's cultural heritage.  This meant that we couldn't simply just draw up cool ships in a vacuum.  They had to be matched with what that civilization is about, including weapons.

Nothing makes that clearer than the Mu'kay:

Mu'Kay ship ideas that weren't used

A civilization that lives in water and brings water with them is going to have a different design language than, say, humans with our love of nukes and lasers.

With humans, we always knew we'd have something like this:

But we didn't think aliens should have ships that look like that.  Our ships look like they do because we humans have a number of unique (in the Star Control universe) attributes, including our adoption of using explosions for engines (ICE), explosions to propel bits of metal, and explosions for making even bigger explosions (nukes). Not to mention, explosions for showing explosions (Michael Bay).  Our civilization is very good at utilizing explosions.

By contrast, a civilization that developed an early understanding of gravity and how to manipulate it would likely take a very different path:

Ship Concept 3

Xraki ships manipulate gravity in battle and have absolute mastery of gravitational manipulation

But not just a single ship...

Of course, it wasn't enough to just have one ship per civilization.   If we're traveling through a living universe, one would expect many different types of ships.

Below are some examples of ships from the Scryve.

And next we have ships from the Drenkend:

These have both a gameplay purpose, as well as a way of deepening the Star Control lore.

On the gameplay side, we wanted to have tougher and tougher ships to encounter if you went deep into enemy territory.  We didn't want to rely on "you now must fight 10 of the same ship in a row," to make it tough.  Early on, for example, the player will encounter pretty wimpy Scryve ships.  But later on, things become more challenging, and of course the weapons are more exotic.

A means to an end

Ultimately, the ships of Star Control are extensions of that alien's civilization.  Star Control is designed not just to be a space RPG, but one in which the universe itself feels like it's alive and has been alive since before humans decided to get out of the trees.

Advantages of Stark Professional Line engine filters

High quality of cleaning. The special structure of the filtering element and the combination of cellulose and synthetic non-woven fabric contribute to efficient removal of the finest contaminants from the working fluids. For example, Stark Professional Line engine air filters capture up to 99.98 % of all particles starting with 3 µm contained in the intake air.

Excellent filter efficiency. The paper or synthetic material laid in a special way features low hydraulic resistance. With that, the quality of filtering remains high. Oil filters are fitted with a by-pass and a return valve that ensure timely supply of the lubricant to the components of the engine in cold start conditions.

Efficiency throughout the entire service life. Stark Professional Line filtering elements feature increased volume and surface area. Therefore, they can capture more contaminants.

Resistance to deformation and mechanical damage. For the maximum strength, the paper is treated with special resins. The filtering element retains its shape during the entire service life.

Compliance to the OE standards. The installation dimensions and design of Stark Professional Line engine filters match the parameters of the genuine equipment. This ensures easy installation and the maximum output of the components.

Clinton Army Veteran Scores $17,592 Racetrax Win on $2 Trifecta Bet

Playing Maryland Lottery games a relaxing diversion
A longtime Maryland Lottery fan from Clinton hit big playing the animated horses on Feb. 1, scoring a $17,592 payout on a single $2 Racetrax Trifecta bet with the bonus option.
“I’ve been playing since before I was married,” the happy winner declared on Feb. 8 while claiming his prize at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore. For the record, the lucky Prince George’s County resident has been married for 33 years. The U.S. Army veteran started playing Lottery games about 42 years ago when he was enlisted in the Army and stationed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda. Although no longer enlisted, the winner remains on the medical staff there performing the same operating room job: “saving lives.”
Playing the Lottery – he dabbles in a range of games – is part of his relaxation regimen. “It’s a little diversion,” he said. To win this prize, he bet on the 8, 11 and 6 horses to place 1st, 2nd and 3rd in that exact order. His $2 quick-pick wager brought him the big prize and the Bonus multiplier of 3 tripled his prize.
The winner’s wife will share in the 62-year-old veteran’s good fortune. “I’m going to give her a little bit, pay some bills, put the rest in the bank and call it a day,” he explained.
The money also will come in handy for a trip to the Dominican Republic he is planning to take with a group of 25 to 30 longtime friends.

SAP CS (Customer Service)

Definition or Meaning - What is SAP CS?

Full form or SAP CS stands for (Customer Services), a popular SAP ERP tool that offers the basic functionalities to a vast range of customer specific tasks, is considered to be an important extension of the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module. In the present competitive scenario, customers like to purchase from organizations/ service providers that have a higher customer satisfaction quotient. Under the circumstances, it becomes essential to offer better after sale and customer services in every industrial vertical or commercial sector.

Along with offering the best services for warranties (for the goods purchased by customers) to taking the right steps for maintaining customer loyalty, providing the right help desk services, and placing an organization far ahead of its competition by increasing the levels of sales; the SAP CS module goes a long way in offering the highest levels of customer satisfaction too. Excellent customer services are vital for the growth and development of an organization and can be easily achieved via the integration of effective functionalities and SAP client services applications.

The processes linked with SAP CS functionality are directly linked to the services offered to customers. They may range from minor repairs to product warranties and beyond. The provision of services to customers for these reasons goes a long way in developing customer loyalty. With more and more organizations coming into the fray, the demand for unique services is definitely o the rise. So, to attain higher levels of competitiveness and be ahead in the race, companies are looking towards providing the best in customer services and keeping their customers totally satisfied. SAP CS tools offer a range of benefits in return and repair processes and call for better control, easier tracking of grievances and management of diverse work centers, functional locations and equipments.

For best results, these SAP CS components require a well conceived integration with other modules like SAP CO and SAP MM (Materials Management).

Stein Weihnachtsspende 2015

STEIN Christmas donation goes to SpielTiger e.V.

Hamburg, November 26, 2015 – Traditionally STEIN decided again this year, instead of making customers Christmas presents, to give a donation for a charitable purpose: in view of the current situation “SpielTiger e.V.” movement, culture and game ( was selected. The association serves the development and distribution of integrated sports, games and leisure facilities, focused on body and movement experience. One focus lies in the implementation of mobile game actions in the field of open child and youth work. Thereby, rooms to play and exercise opportunities for children and adolescents are to be developed and preserved in their direct living environment, especially in socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods and currently in particular in migrants accommodations.

Yesterday, STEIN’s Managing Director Lars Roisch has handed over the donation worth 2,500 Euro in the office of the SpielTiger e.V. to Jan Heidtmann. The donation consisted of a movement-building site – a set from magic boxes and accessories made of birch wood – and 18 pairs of stilts. The movement construction was produced in the Mühlhäuser Werkstätten so that STEIN could support two social organizations at the same time with its donation.

Lars Roisch, Managing Director STEIN: “The SpielTiger e.V. stands up with its work for the needs of children and adolescents in a sustainable manner – even and especially in difficult situations and emergencies – and creates with its gaming actions important conditions for a healthy personality development of children. That is why we want to support this work with our donation purposefully. Because in the context of the current refugee situation it is more important than ever!”

Jan Heidtmann vom Spieltiger e.V.: „We are very happy about the donation from STEIN. The toys are a great support for our work – especially in light of the currently great need for actions for refugee children in Hamburg. On behalf of the children, we say thank you! For them, the magic boxes and stilts are a great way to have some fun in their dreary everyday life in the refugee centers.“

Nine Things That Hobart and Barcelona Have in Common (Besides Latitude)

Posted by Stoke Media Team

Nine Things That Hobart and Barcelona Have in Common (Besides Latitude)

Nine similarities between the greatest place in the world and another place that people seem to like visiting a lot

The Stoke office’s resident fountain of dubious fun facts recently produced something actually worth listening to – a tidbit about Tasmania. It turns out that Hobart, Tasmania and Barcelona, Spain share the same latitude – 42 degrees south and north respectively. How curious! What is also curious is how many other things the most underrated place in the world and the world’s most obvious choice of holiday destination have in common.

  1. Cheese

Barcelona has cheese, and they’re so proud of it that on the Aerobus propaganda televisions you will read something along the lines of In Catalonia the milk from cows and goats is used to make excellent cheese. The cheese in Barcelona isn’t bad and makes a solid contribution to that general feeling of salty overindulgence that will characterise your experience of eating while there.

Hobart is a full-fat, creamy heaven at the pointy end of the island of milk and honey, Tasmania. Sure, the dairy is a little more expensive there, but it’s not cheap to fly double cream brie over from the rugged terrain of King Island where the cows roam wild on the salt sprayed pastures, flicking their tails at Mother Nature. In the supermarkets, you can buy milk so fresh that it still has a chunky layer of delicious cream on top, which will splat down into your muesli to be chewed alongside the sweetest of sultanas.

  1. Wine

Barcelona boasts several famed wine varieties including local specialties vino rojo and vino blanco. These wines are quite delicious and will help you wash down the patatas bravas and salty cheese that are on every menu everywhere. Their strongest point is their cheap-ish price, because the government does not enforce a high alcohol tax. The Catalonians love a good demonstration, and what with drinking wine all night being part of their traditional way of life, they would burn the city down if such a tax was so much as suggested. There has been something of a housing crisis in Barcelona in recent years, but at least everyone can afford to be drunk all the time.

In Hobart, housing is more affordable but getting drunk is becoming increasingly expensive. This is because the Australian government doesn’t want us to drink or smoke, or marry people of the same gender, or accept refugees and so on and so forth. This might lead you to believe that the general wine and merriment situation in Hobart is inferior to that in Barcelona, but luckily Tasmania is 50% protected National Park and 35% protected National Vineyard, meaning that the wine industry is thriving. There are literally rivers of wine that flow from all over the state and converge in Hobart, a veritable swamp of delicious god nectars.

  1. Extreme weather

One of the things that makes Barcelona so popular with drunk people from the UK is its supposed hot summers. You will see Europeans of every creed, in fact, getting semi-to-fully naked on Barceloneta beach and sizzling their nipples in the sun against a scintillating soundtrack of Sangria Mojito! Cold water beer! Cerveza beer! Agua water beer! In winter it gets relatively cold, so people from the UK pack up their nipples and go home where their tans will wash off in two days, while the people remaining in Barcelona will have to start sleeping under doonas and sometimes wear coats.

Hobart locals like to claim that their sun has a little more “bite”, and forgetting to put sunblock on is liable to leave you with blisters which will turn into scars that you’ll get to keep for life. The weather may not be consistently hot for the duration of summer, but this is for the best, because each silly season roughly half the state goes up in flames. In winter, it has been known to snow on the beaches, and floods and road closures mean that sometimes you will get the day off work.

  1. A tad on the proud side?

Catalonians don’t like being called Spanish, many of them vocally agitate for independence from the Motherland and some of them spray paint things like Fuck Off Tourists near popular attractions.

Tasmanians don’t mind being called Australian but draw the line at being confused with Tanzanians, are reasonable enough to realise that, regrettably, their separation from the “mainland” can be nothing more than physical at this stage, and out of economic necessity are pretty nice to tourists (even though they will mock your obscene coffee order and pretences of worldliness behind your back).

  1. Dancing skills

The fiery flamenco. The steamy salsa. Just try having a lesson and not ending up sleeping with your partner (isn’t that right, certain members of the Stoke office?). Even the way a Barcelonian walks can be like an aggressive little sex jig.

Such antiquated courting methods have their charms, but the Tassie Two-Step which carves the dancefloors of Hobart is the future of dance. In fact, Hobart is the future of dance. Vice said so.

  1. Would be better off if they legalised drugs

Do you like something? Smoke weed? Coffee shop?  the drug dealers will croon as you innocently try to walk through the heavily touristed areas of Barcelona. There are numerous seed shops, a hemp museum, and the smell of weed wafts all over Barceloneta beach and the groups of students which hang out near universities. Shouldn’t Catalonia put the baddies out of business and just legalise already?

Yes. And so should Tasmania. Because basically everyone has a backyard big enough to start dabbling, meaning all the state’s youth unemployment problems would vanish. Also, the current approach to the ice epidemic clearly isn’t working, nor is sending sniffer dogs into da clubs on a Saturday night and scaring the shit out of every 20-something with .5-3 pingers on them, so how bout we try something else already?

  1. Beach clubs

Shoko. Carpe diem. Pash-whatever. Port Olimpic in Barcelona is lined with weird, tackily themed blocks which signify the presence of the subterranean clubs below. Here you can pay €12 for a basic drink, enjoy having no personal space, and have a silent panic attack as you notice there are no visible fire exits and recall tales of particularly wasted tourists being “snatched” from such venues.

Hobart and surrounds also have beach clubs, where surf life savers do activities in the water and sometimes people hire them out for functions where drinks cost far less than €12. There is also the Observatory (Obar in the local tongue) on Hobart’s waterfront, which is similar to places like Shoko except smaller and above ground, and if there is a fire you can always jump out of the window and into the safety of the wharf.

  1. Skate spots

Yes okay Barcelona, we know about MACBA already, we see your grungily-themed Nevermind bar, obviously named for Nirvana and featuring a skate ramp. People are even managing to make rollerblading look cool here. But to the detriment of the city’s rep as a sweet skate spot, you will never see as many people rolling around on longboards as you do in Barcelona.

Hobart has a new skate park at Rosny. It also has a skate shop with a skate ramp in it, where you can drink Cascade Blues so that is practically a bar with a skate ramp in it. It also has a phenomenon going on where 50% of girls aged 14 and under can skate good, this is a true fact.

  1. Museums

Barcelona has many museums and they are pretty good. There’s the Museum of Contemporary Art. There’s one about Picasso, and some others. At the CCCB, there’s currently an exhibition about sexuality in architecture, and if you go you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of porn included.

Hobart has MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, which has a wall of plaster moulds of actual vaginas. There is also a poo machine and other confronting things, some aesthetically pleasing things also. We know this museum is cool because some people from Melbourne came and told us. They also told us our coffee was quite good, which is a huge compliment coming from them because they’re from Melbourne. Entry to the museum is free for Tasmanians – lokals only tourists fukoff.

Seven Tips for Your First Time Snowboarding with Stoke

Posted by Stoke Media Team
5 months ago | November 22, 2018

Seven Tips for Your First Time Snowboarding with Stoke

Snowboarding first time: All you need to know so you don’t blow in the snow

Whether you’re secretly staring in lustful awe at park girls riding Perisher, sitting on your stiff arse while school kids on skis surpass you in Nozawa Onsen, or flailing like a fool in front of your instructor at Cardrona, your first time snowboarding is likely to leave your butt, your dignity and your preconceived illusions of athletic ability a little hurt. Lessen the blow of your first time in the snow with our advice on popping the white cherry.

1. Squats

Those five half-baked dips you do once a fortnight-ish after accidentally encountering images of Kim Kardashian on your socials ain’t gonna cut it. The angle of your snowboots will have you locked not only to your board, but also in a half-squat that ain’t going away ‘til the end of the day (and given how much you paid for you lift ticket, you’re not going home early). If you front up to your first lesson with an untrained booty looser than your mum was in college, you’ll be expending so much energy just on your stance that you won’t have any left for making those skill gainz you so desperately need. As soon as you book that snow holiday we want to see you squatting while you brush your teeth, squatting while you cook dinner and squatting while you squat.

2. Yoga

You thought all those surfer bros and babes on your ‘Gram were just getting bendy cos it’s trendy, didn’t you? You’re wrong. Yoga teaches more than just how to look good in active wear, it also teaches balance, which is essential when you’re trying not to flop off your board like a flaccid willy in winter. This skill is just as vital in the snow, so go get some of that ashanti vinyasa flow before you go.

3. Trade intuition for logic

Your scare-devil instincts tell you to lean back when confronted with a rushing slope of icy death, but you know what that means? Landing on your bruised little booty yet again. Overcome your fear of face-planting and lean into that powder like a guy with a rolled five-dollar-note towards a mirror tile – cos if you ain’t steering the board, who is?

4. YouTube

It’s how you learnt to boil an egg, apply make-up and put on a condom, so why have you forgotten your trusty old know-it-all friend now? There are endless how-to YouTube videos to aid the aspiring powder hound, so flick open that laptop as you thaw out by the fire and get watching. You’ll go from falling-leaf to fanging the black runs in no time.

5. Utilise your emergency brake

What is the emergency brake? you ask. Here’s a hint: it’s not your wrist. When things start going arse-up on the slopes it’s time to go arse-down. We know it’s already black and blue, but your eyes will be too if you plough through Captain Ski-Dad-GoPro-Helmet’s eight-year-old on the green run – don’t do it, put your back into it.

6. Wear a helmet

Some people don’t wear a helmet in the snow because they think it looks uncool, you will already look uncool and the only way you could possibly look any uncooler is with an entirely avoidable brain injury, so wear one.

7. Tuck in

Hold-up hombre, lo-slung jeans went out of style at around the turn of the century – it’s time for you to embrace the high-waisted fashions of the times, especially when it comes to your snow attire. You best tuck your woollen socks into your thermal leggings, your thermal leggings into your thermal top, your top into your pants, your pants into your hoodie and your hoodie into your jacket – or you’ll have blue balls and frigid flaps to contend with. There will be snow in every orifice.

Think a European snow holiday is out of your budget? Think again. Join Stoke for an Andorra Snow Weekender this winter.

What I do now I am a medical assistant. I’m a full time medical assistant.

I love helping people and meeting new people and I really do enjoy the doctors that I work for and I like going to work every day and I have one job versus three.

All my boys are on honor roll so they figured if I could do it, they can do it. So I hope that I have that influence on them because like if mom didn’t give up I’m not going to give up.

Clear consequences to changing family structures

The reasons behind the decline in birth rates here can be narrowed down to three broad categories: escalating singlehood, marriages at an increasingly later age, and the choice to have fewer offspring.

Rapid advances in medical care have made our life expectancy one of the highest globally.

With lower birth rates, the double whammy of a shrinking citizen population and smaller workforce will soon become a stark reality.

This impending transformation in our family structures will have conspicuous consequences.

In fact, single-person households are already apparent in our country. Married couples without any children are also on the increase.

All these factors will lead to a diminishing support ratio between working and non-working adults. The economically active will have to bear a greater share of the tax burden.

As our population shrinks, so will our customer base and ability to supply sufficiently trained and talented workers to meet the human resource needs of multinational corporations and local enterprises.

This could precipitate the relocation of foreign businesses, leaving tens of thousands of Singaporeans out of work.

Those with the right talents, experience and qualifications may decide to venture overseas. Singapore's elderly support ratio will get worse.

Unless our Government makes impactful policy changes that give our workers less pressure at work and more time with their families, control the spiralling cost of living, and provide public housing schemes that continue to encourage families to live close to one another, the birth rate will not improve. Married couples will not want to have more children simply because they cannot afford the time and money to raise them.

As we cannot depend on the Government to comprehensively cover the welfare needs of retirees, families have to rally together.

The problem is that the ever-shrinking base of working adults means that by 2030, there will be only a meagre two economically productive Singaporeans for every retiree.

AGC and Law Society launch code of practice for criminal proceedings

A code of practice offering guidelines for the conduct of criminal proceedings here was launched on Wednesday by the Attorney-General's Chambers and the Law Society.

The Code of Practice for the Conduct of Criminal Proceedings aims to raise the standards of ethics and advocacy, and was first mooted in 2011 by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, who was then the Attorney General.

Though it is not legally binding, it sets out the general duties of both prosecutors and defence lawyers and covers the gamut of pre-trial and court proceedings, from disclosure to sentencing and appeals.

Attorney General Steven Chong said at the launch: "The Code of Practice signals a very powerful message of a joint commitment and pledge by the twin engines of the criminal justice system to raise the Bar in ensuring that criminal proceedings are conducted at the highest level of professionalism."

Warplanes: February 20, 2003

So far, the United States has had to worry about losing UAVs to enemy ground fire. But in one recent case, a U.S. UAV was shot down by an Iraqi fighter aircraft. While shot down UAVs don't endanger the lives of pilots, the pilotless aircraft are still expensive. And if you lose enough UAVs, you no longer have a sufficient number left to do the job. So UAV designers are looking at ways to make the aircraft more secure from ground or air attack. This won't be easy, because the most lethal weapon against UAVs is machine-guns on the ground. If the UAVs fly high enough to get away from the light and heavy machine-guns, then they have to worry about missiles. One likely solution is to equip UAVs with the new, cheaper and lightweight "missile detectors" and similar sensors that will notice when machine-gun fire from the ground is getting close (a form of motion detector does this.) Once the UAV detects that it is under attack, there are a large number of rapid maneuvers the UAV can take to avoid the fire. These maneuvers are well known, having been invented over the last century by pilots successful in using them to avoid attack. The challenge is to develop software that will automatically recognize situations and take evasive action. And UAVs can perform these maneuvers more violently because they do not have a pilot on board who would black out if the rapid turns went as far and fast as the aircraft allowed. While these additional sensors will add weight, the growing losses of UAVs to ground fire is making any kind of solution cost effective.
