ledmac Installation

Not only does using ledmac make sense for my own translation project, but as I've started translating portions of Lanman's Sanskrit Reader with my tutoring student, being able to create facing pages with line-number keyed footnotes would be handy.

Here are the steps I've followed to get ledmac:

Detailed instructions below, with my mis-steps included.

1. Installation. Both ledmac and ledpar should be included in your TexLive installation.
2. Help files. Download these! They're very detailed and crucial for getting the steps right.
3. Facing pages. First, call the packages. Then, surround numbered paragraphs with \pstart and \pend commands. Finally, enclose them in \begin{Leftside} and \end{Leftside} commands inside of the pages environment, to put them on facing pages.

1. Installation. I went to Terminal on my Mac in order to make sure that my TexLive installation was up to date. This required giving myself root admin privileges and then entering a few commands to update the TexLive manager itself (tlmgr):

This process took a a while to complete (as in several hours). Get a cup of coffee or ten while it works.

As everything was updating, I could see that I already had ledmac, so I didn't need to install it:

A better way to have discovered this was to have used the list --installed command at the outset, but this means my TexLive installation is up-to-date, which is probably important, anyway.

2. Help Files. I downloaded the help guides for ledmac and ledpar here. The help guide for the package ledmac advertises it as having these features:
  • automatic stepped line numbering, by page or by section;
  • sub-lineation within the main series of line numbers;
  • variant readings automatically keyed to line numbers;
  • caters for both prose and verse;
  • multiple series of footnotes and endnotes;
  • block or columnar formatting of footnotes;
  • simple tabular material may be line numbered;
  • indexing keyed to page and line numbers.

The package ledpar is what allows one to have facing pages or parallel texts.

3. Facing pages and numbered paragraphs. I started with the Nalopakhyānām Tex file, since it was smaller than the Mukula translation. I already had generated ten lines of Sanskrit and ten lines of English translation, plus some notes.

My first step was to call the packages:
Then I started with the ledpar parallel pages scheme:

\begin{pages} \begin{Leftside} ... \end{Leftside} \begin{Rightside} ... \end{Rightside} \Pages \begin{Leftside} ... \end{Leftside} ... \Pages \end{pages}
The "leftside" command puts what is enclosed inside on the left page (for me, the Sanskrit) and the "rightside" puts what is enclosed inside on the right (the English). Each "\Pages" starts a new page.

Compiling the results didn't work, though. I got an error for the "\Pages command, and when I changed it to a lowercase "p", it compiled, but didn't break the text into two facing pages. I was using the verse package, so I decided to delete references to that, and use ledmac instead, as I discovered in the help guides that ledpar requires ledmac (which is why nothing was happening). So I replaced "\begin{verse}" with "\beginnumbering" and inserted enclosing "\pstart" and "\pend".

This compiled, but the result was that I had no output! The paragraphs disappeared.

The reason was that I had changed "\Pagesto "\pages". Restoring the correct command gave me facing pages of text as I was wanting.

Next...keying footnotes to line numbers.

Below is the .tex document with screen caps of the output:

Bonkers Blog January 2013

Index: 2009201020112012201320142015201620172018

3 January - Newsreel

The number of site visitors over the holiday was disappointing from a purely numerical standpoint but then unlike Christmas 2011 I took most days off due to family commitments and most readers will have been doing the same. However yesterday made up for it as people got back to work.

2,143 people looked (counting those who returned for another look) at the blog about police corruption in Bexley and 444 of them clicked through to the whole story. It’s hard to get away from what seems to be rather more than incompetence. Tomorrow is the last day for posting a complaint to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) about the Metropolitan Police’s Directorate of Professional Standards’ (DPS) six month long enquiry into Bexleyheath’s police initial (June to August 2011) failure to investigate Bexley council’s obscene blog.

Apparently no one slipped up in drawing a blank in spite of the fact that the second investigation located the blog source within weeks. No one was at fault for dismissing the crime report as tit for tat over the harassment issue. According to the DPS I was still under investigation (in July 2011) for the ‘Pitchforks and Flaming Torches’ comment, with the implication I was a bad ‘un up to no good. That's hard to believe as a subsequent IPCC enquiry revealed that Bexley police had realised that no crime had been committed before they issued the harassment warning in April 2011. They issued it only because Bexley council was on their back. The IPCC went on to pronounce the harassment warning totally void. The DPS response faced both ways by using it as an excuse whilst acknowledging the truth of the matter.

It was a difficult letter to write as the case has become so horrendously complex but I managed to avoid use of the word whitewash. It went off in this afternoon’s post. Special Delivery.

In other news
The fitments were removed from Cafe Blanco a few hours after Tuesday’s photographs were taken. Local residents reported the cafe appeared to be well patronised but nothing ever seems to be straight forward about any Campbell related business. Where will they pop up next?

Knee HillKnee Hill was illuminated again last night after it spent Christmas in the dark. I imagine it is expensive to keep street lights on given the exorbitant cost of electricity but it makes Knee Hill, shrouded as it is under a canopy of trees, so much easier to navigate. More than half the lights are on the Greenwich side anyway. Click image for larger view.

Bexleyheath police in the form of a new and communicative Detective Sergeant emailed yesterday about the blog which someone sent up councillor Craske’s phone line. “I am hopeful I will have a result for you this week at some point.” Whether it will be what I would call a result or one engineered by politicians remains to be seen.

This site’s Home page has been updated to include recent police revelations. The old one which speculated about possible political interference may be seen here and the new one which confirms it has been archived here. Another change covers the tracking of the obscene blog to a certain address in Sidcup - as everyone suspected.

MBTA managers on Monday, Oct. 16, approved work to replace a structurally deficient railroad drawbridge traversing the Annisquam River in Gloucester.

J.F. White Contracting Company won a $56.9 million contract to replace the "single leaf bascule" bridge with two single leaf bascule bridges, according to a presentation made to the MBTA's Fiscal and Management Control Board. The existing drawbridge was built in 1932, according to the T.

Revenue service will continue during the 44-month construction period, although MBTA staff anticipates a total of 10 weekend shutdowns of commuter rail service

More info on Jay Greenberg

Jay Greenberg: Map

Wikipedia article:

Map showing all locations mentioned on Wikipedia article:

Jay "Bluejay" Greenberg (born December 13, 1991, New Haven, Connecticutmarker) is an American composer who entered the Juilliard Schoolmarker in 2002.

He came to the American media's attention through the sponsorship of Juilliardmarker instructor Samuel Zyman, who lauded Greenberg's talent during a CBS News 60 Minutes broadcast on November 28, 2004, and again on November 26, 2006. "We are talking about a prodigy of the level of the greatest prodigies in history, when it comes to composition. I am talking about the likes of Mozart, and Mendelssohn, and Saint-Saëns." His primary composition instructor was Samuel Adler.

Greenberg composes primarily on his computer, using a music notation program. His most well known work is the Overture to 9-11, about the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which was featured on PRI's From the Top. At the time of the attacks, he was living in Macedoniamarker but has since returned to the United States. His father is an Americanmarker and makes a living as a Slavic linguist. His Israeli-born mother also has no musical background, but Jay found himself attracted to music from an early age, having begun playing the cello at the age of two.

Like many composers, Greenberg says he hears the music performed inside his head and often several musical pieces simultaneously, and he is then able to simply notate what he has listened to. He says he rarely needs to make corrections to what he has notated. A lot of other material comes to him in this manner.

The Sony BMG Masterworks label released his first CD on August 15, 2006; it includes his Symphony no. 5 and String Quintet as performed by the London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of José Serebrier and by the Juilliard String Quartet with cellist Darrett Adkins respectively.

On October 28, 2007, Joshua Bell gave the premiere of Greenberg's Violin Concerto at Carnegie Hallmarker, performing with the Orchestra of St. Luke's.

Greenberg's works are published by G. Schirmer.

Fairphone: much more than a fair phone

Save this article in PDF

by Marc Le Menestrel (19/12/2014)

Fairphone is much more than a fair phone.

Fairphone is a fairer phone but it is firstly a movement. Any movement is a transformation of the world, something that continuously changes and evolves. Fairphone is a movement transforming the world, continuously changing and evolving. This is the most important thing I understood from a discussion with Laura Gerritsen (Impact and Development).

Fairphone aims to do things differently. It is “creative, innovative, involving and incorporating many different ideas aiming at changing something not envisioned to be changed.” The primary importance is given to “the process”, “the difference is in how to do things”.

Of course Fairphone has an ambition in terms of “fair economy”, an objective to pay more attention to “human values”. But this is “without determining top down what is fair”, which is done through “debate” as “fairness is subjective”.

The dynamics is not merely motivated by a clear vision of what has to be changed: “this can be debated.” Indeed, the opening of a conversation by providing a “platform for discussion” may be the first transformation Fairphone has already accomplished.

I especially liked the expression that “…in a sense, values are created”. In line with the approach taught in my course, this is an existentialist approach to ethics. Fairphone is not bound by a dogmatic approach defining first what is ethical. They first try to build a very large perspective in order to understand what happens in the field and then act appropriately (see the blog of Laura for what she does around mining, a major issue for the supply-chain of phones).

Fairphone has understood that ethics remains a grey zone. By promoting “transparency” through a debate they want to be “inclusive”. But transparency also means being open about what you have not been able to achieve and what remains to be improved, such as working conditions at mine sites. Hence, Fairphone is not exempt of unfair issues. There is much more to do evidently and they have noted that “being open about the issues you have not been able solve and why does not necessarily lead to more (negative) criticism, but is key to develop a constructive debate”.

In fact, they have been criticized a lot and this has empowered them. “If you take critics seriously, it leads to a good discussion and a good learning. It does not need to be always easy but it can be very useful.” Sometimes, misinformed supporters can also raise issues, for instance by saying wrongly that the phone is biodegradable or fully recyclable. Things are both fair and unfair which, as we know, does not imply that they are equally fair (see ethics as a grey zone).

In class, we often discuss why Apple, Samsung or Sony have not yet launched such a product. For Laura, this is not just about the product. “You can have 1 product over 20000 that is more fair and ecological but what does it mean?” More important is whether there is a change in approach and social and environmental values are integrated in the everyday decision making and activities of companies.

“At Fairphone, the DNA is different. Still, we know we are a small company and believe we need to work together with all players to trigger a change that goes beyond Fairphone. By establishing the market for ethical products we hope to motivate the entire industry to act more responsibly”.

More than a fairer product, Fairphone creates a movement with transparent and inclusive discussions about how to move forward.

Questions for reflection:

• Under which conditions a clear vision of the future is not necessary to accomplish a great project?

• Why, when and for whom it can be difficult to accept that a fairer phone may not be entirely a fair phone?

• Why, when and for whom communicating about ethical vulnerabilities can be appropriate?

• If a company can be “a movement”, what would it mean for you as a person to be “a movement”?

Model railroading 556

A model train set is a wonderfully engaging spare-time activity and you will often find fathers teaching their sons with it, but if you probe deeper, it is the father who is more keen on it. If this spare-time activity is taken up seriously, then one of the first resolutions is to make up your mind as to the final destination of your layout. Since over the years you will extend the tracks, it is best to come to a final conclusion where you will lay the 1st tracks. Then there is no debate about taking up a room in the house. Once all this has been taken care of, it's then a matter of starting at the beginning with wood to lay the track on. Then you need to get all that set up and then off to the hobby stores to inquire about the assorted model trains sets, tracks, everything else that has to be purchased for this great pursuit.

All around the globe from centuries back, in all probability the most well-known in Britain was the Hornby train which were British made starting in the early 1900s and across the European continent, despite the competitor, Basset Lowke with the German made trains. Hornby though made some of the most fabulous small trains, no-one is very sure when the 1st train was produced though. Some say that these were in existence before 1914, but the 1st clockwork trains were introduced in 1920 and the year 1925 witnessed the introduction of electric trains. The originator of all this was Frank Hornby, born in Liverpool (1863-1936) and known also for the Meccano sets. Though there are a great many of model train sets which are available worldwide but Hornby was the most fashionable maker followed by American Flyer of 1907.

You might have to do a lot of research, reading and perhaps talk to an experienced friend who is into model railway setting up, involving working out the scales which might be puzzling initially. When you ‘scale' it means that you are scaling down, building a tinier version from a larger model where O and S relate to larger and tinier scales and similar to the American Flyer model, while HO and N signify the more modern scales used currently. There is so much to learn about the scales and gauges, it just goes on and on but one things for certain at the end of the day, when everything is set up, model train sets are a fantastic spare-time activity, and a special talking point with friends who have the same interest. Some regions even have the privilege of having societies in this regard as well as related magazines, so you requirement to tap all that are there to heighten your area of passion.

Sugar Tax to begin in 2018

Hi everyone!

I read this article on the BBC News site and felt I should add my personal opinion to the mix.  As an adult with a fairly high IQ (never really had it checked by I know a lot of things....) I feel that the government is inflicting another tax on it's people when they should be going into schools and educating children on how to eat healthily,  I understand that they are trying to combat the growing obesity problem in the UK but this is not the way to do it!  If they want to do something then they could also ban high sugar soft drinks from schools in the UK and give teachers the power to fine parents that supply their children with high sugar drinks during the school day.  As an avid drinker of Regular Coca-Cola and an intelligent adult I feel I have the knowledge to make an informed decision to choose to drink a high sugar drink.  I don't feel as if I should be punished just because I have made the decision to drink what I like.  Please get onto your local MP and let them know that you should have the right to decide for yourself just what you would like to drink without there being an additional tax just to put some extra money into the government's pockets!  What will the government decide to tax next?  Every breath that we take as we might be contributing to global warming???  As you can see I am a firm believer in education, education, education!  Why doesn't the government have the same belief?

Thanks for listening to my rant on this topic, which is, obviously, very close to my heart.  Please continue to visit my site often to see what topics I cover next!

Best Movies 2006

While some of these I saw at the theatre and some I rented, all our worthy of your attention. No particular order:

Little Miss Sunshine. Quirky, subversive and fun. A slight exaggeration of a typical dysfunctional U.S. family who clink and clank their way to some kind of meaningful relationship. It feels like the word is out about this one, so I don't want to over-hype it.

Children of Men. A story about 20 tiny years into the future, when the racism against immigrants has gone to the worst extreme, and inexplicably, women can no longer get pregnant. A sort of 1984 ordinary man attempting to rise to the occasion crossed with a Christian nativity story. Clive Owen, give him credit for taking this role on.

Favela Rising. Deeply inspiring documentary about former drug outlaws in Brazil seizing life again through music and culture. Political, spiritual and all about redemption.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. are piss your pants funny. The dialogue is intricate, fast and witty, reminding me of fond memories of Bruce Willis & Cybill Shephard in Moonlighting. A smart hip movie – the best of the easy-on-the-brain category.

Hustle & Flow. Intimate with a subtle depth of the socio-economic issues around pimps, prostitutes and people forgotten, with a redemptive story about trying to carve out meaning in a life of shit.

The Agronomist. Documentary about Haitian radio/activist Jean Dominique, his form of resistance against the U.S. supported dictatorship, his exile, his return and how his spirit lives on. Bring a load of Kleenex and be prepared to be inspired by one man’s courage.

Joyeux Noel. Based on the true story of World War I soldiers in the trenches who, come Christmas time, refuse to fight eachother, sharing food, song, mass and protecting each other against artillery barrages. The generals on all sides flip out, having common enemy soldiers and officers become friends is not what war is supposed to be about!

After watching this film, I wondered if U.S. soldiers in Iraq could talk, share food, and song with Iraqi resistance fighters – might they find similarities? Might U.S. soldiers, a majority of whom already are against the U.S. invasion, consider more dramatic steps in refusing the orders of the psychotic generals and politicians in charge?

Over the Hedge. With the exception of the stereotypical bad-boy depiction of the grizzly bear (Nick Nolte's voice), this animated is spot-on in making you root for the anarchist foragers. Righteously critiquing middle class suburban emptiness, with witty dialogue and caricatures provided by Steve Carrell, Gary Shandling, Eugene Levy and others. And the soundtrack, by Ben Folds, is the best of any film this year. I'm no fan of award shows, but incrediby the Golden Globes ignored Over the Hedge, instead fronting Cars, Monster House, and Happy Feet.

Sir No Sir. See my description in the post above, "Why Hope?"

If anyone out there has a movie I really should see, please email me,

- Mark

19th east London chemists - what did they make?

In the 1870s Edward Ballard, who was writing a book about pollution and working practices, visited and reported on several chemical companies in the area - Wallace, Forbes, and Hills as well as Blott and Percival Smith, both on Bow Common, and Crow at Barking Level. Ballard commented that all of these only used gas works liquor as their main raw material.

There were many more manufacturers than those visited by Ballard. By the 1860s London companies could not supply enough liquor and additional supplies came from gas works in many areas outside London. In some years the Colchester Gas Co sold all their liquor in 1868 to the Imperial Company who handled its sale on their behalf. At another time Colchester Co. sold their liquor to Simpson of Millwall who made sulphate of ammonia. The accounts of Lawes Agricultural Manure Company at Barking in the early 1870s gives some idea of the amount they were taking - 20 tons of ammonia from Hills.

Considerable quantities of ammoniacal liquor were bought from the early gas industry. It must be significant that most of it was bought by manufacturing chemists. Some, perhaps all, of them made ammonia salts. Most of them had works in east London. Despite the lack of records from the chemists themselves, it must be presumed that their products were sold to great range of industries. Thus gas companies were suppliers of raw materials to the chemical industry well before the development of coal tar dyes. The chemical industry itself was a major supplier of raw materials in this area and beyond.

The Twenty-Four Inch Gauge and the Circadian Rhythm

2913 49th Street
Des Moines, Iowa 50310

The twenty-four inch gauge--one of the working tools of Masonry--teaches us to make the best use of our time. In a twenty-four hour period, we learned that eight hours should be devoted to the service of God and a worthy distressed Brother, eight hours in our usual vocation, and eight hours for rest and refreshment.

Early Masons, who determined how to best use their time, may not have known all of the ramifications of the twenty-four hour cycle. A study conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health reveals some remarkable facts about the twenty-four hour internal clock or circadian rhythm as it is known scientifically. This internal clock runs whether we are hungry or full, and whether it is dark or light.

A scientist in the Antarctic, where it is light for months at a time, went to bed when he felt sleepy. He discovered that it was fifteen minutes later each day until the 28th day when "sleepy time" reverted to the usual time and began over again.

Even plants in the dark open and close their leaves at regular intervals. Newborn babies acquire the circadian rhythm within sixteen weeks or less. Birds and lizards that were raised in soundproof rooms with temperature and light control came by the circadian rhythm without ever seeing daylight or any other living creature. Scientists in confinement in caves where there was no light soon adhered to the twenty-four hour internal clock even though their conception of time was flawed.

Attempts have been made to change the cycle to 12, 18 or 48 hours, but those who participated in the experiment became irritable and were error prone.

Jet lag is related to circadian rhythm and results when the normal rhythm is upset. The symptoms, familiar to most travelers, include fatigue, tendency to error and general malaise.

In addition to the circadian twenty-four hour cycle, there are longer cycles known as infradian cycles. The female 29 day cycle is one of these, but men also have a similar cycle which is not as pronounced. The cycle in the male is of similar length and was confirmed by hormonal studies.

Dr. Franz Halberg of the University of Minnesota made some interesting conclusions from his years of study on this subject. Among his findings were the fact that deaths from arteriosclerosis were greatest in January. Accidental deaths were more prevalent in July and August, and suicides greater in May.

Considering, again, the circadian twenty-four hour cycle, Dr. Charles Czeisler of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital determined from his studies that more humans die around six in the morning, more heart attacks and strokes occur around nine in the morning and peak onset of labor in women is between one and seven in the morning.

Both doctors concluded that physical performance is poorest between two and six in the morning and, as a result, there are more one-car accidents during that period.

One study accented the physical variations daily when they gave rats an identical drug dosage at two different times of day. Of the rats given the drug during their active cycle, a high percentage died while those given the same dosage during their rest cycle had only one death out of ten.

Such studies have led to speculation that there may be a day when doctors will maintain a sort of circadian map for every patient. Information in that map would determine the best time for most effective medication or treatment.

Dr. Czeisler has been successful in altering some faulty circadian patterns by use of light--much brighter than average room lighting--applying it scientifically to achieve desired changes. The treatment has been applied to patients suffering from depression, fatigue or sleep disorders.

Although there is still much to be learned, the presence of rhythmic cycles in humans and animals is well established. Our Masonic forefathers, who used the twenty-four inch gauge as a measure to divide wisely our time, may not have known about circadian rhythm, but they certainly recognized the importance of adhering to a schedule for personal well-being.

When Religious Freedom is Under Attack

Written by Sorin A. Leahu -

Many by now have heard of the account of Pastor Andrew Brunson. For those unfamiliar, a brief summary, as detailed by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, serves as a useful background:

“Andrew Brunson, 50, is an American citizen who has lived in Turkey for 23 years. He is a pastor of the Izmir Diriliş (Resurrection) Church, a small evangelical Presbyterian congregation in the city of Izmir. Andrew filed an application to renew his residence visa in April 2016. On October 7, 2016, the local police department summoned him for what he assumed to be a routine meeting to discuss his visa renewal. However, he was taken into custody upon his arrival at the station and told he would be deported within 15 days.

A lawyer who asked to visit Andrew was denied access. When the lawyer returned with an affidavit, officials told him that he signed a statement declaring that he did not want a lawyer; the document he signed waived his right to legal representation. Initially, Turkey also refused to allow a U.S. consulate representative to meet with him, a violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. During this period, members of the Pastor’s church attempted to bring food, water, and clothing to him, but were denied access until October 13. Pastor Brunson was not allowed contact with other prisoners and was held incommunicado in the Harmandali Detention Center.

A court document released at a December 9, 2016 hearing indicated that Pastor Brunson had been charged with ‘membership in an armed terrorist organization.’ The judge reportedly mentioned allegations that Pastor Brunson is linked to the Gülen movement, which the Turkish government accuses of planning the failed July 2016 coup.

Pastor Brunson initially was held in a cell with 21 other inmates that was built to hold only eight prisoners. He was transferred in August 2017 to Kiriklar Prison where he was in a cell with two other men who have been accused of being members of the Gülen movement. He spent 24 hours a day in his cell, leaving for one hour weekly for visits...He has been incarcerated since October 2016 without due process and inadequate physical and psychological support.”

Western observers in the court have indicated that there is no evidence implicating the Pastor in any crime. Most recently, it has been announced that Pastor Brunson has been placed on house arrest while he awaits a trial. This ordeal is just the latest attack on religious liberty around the world and provides us with three important reminders.

First, it reminds us of our responsibility to pray for Pastor Brunson and others who are suffering similar fates. The writer of Hebrews instructs to “Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.” - Hebrews 13:3 (NASB). Let us take this responsibility seriously knowing that the prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective as referenced in James 5:16, which states, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”

Second, this attack reminds us that although religious liberty is an inalienable right, human governments consistently fail to recognize, or at least seek to curtail, this fundamental right. This is demonstrated in various forms and degrees. In places like Iran, China, North Korea, and the like, seeking to live out one’s faith comes with a heavy price such as imprisonment, torture, or even death. While these extremes are not present in the United States, religious intolerance still permeates in other forms such as censorship, the demand to violate one’s conscience, undue burdens on the ability to obtain a place of worship, or exclusion from the public square, among others. Whatever its form, the root is the same.

Third, it reminds of the need to fight to preserve religious liberty wherever and whenever it is threatened. As Ronald Reagan stated, “[f]reedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” The attorneys at Mauck & Baker are proud to stand on the front lines protecting religious liberty. With God’s help, and with the prayers of the faithful, we will continue to do so for many years to come.

I am eating healthy..........

     My daughter has been at me for along time to quit eating processed foods and I found a meal program that works with you on it. I decided I need to get healthier so I can stick around to watch Kyle grow up. I just started last Monday and they start you off with a two week detox menu and I am doing okay on it so far. Most of the food is stuff I like, only a couple that I don't and it is pretty flexible so I can work around it. So far the hardest thing is only one cup of coffee and NO creamer.
I do tend to feel hungry in the evening but I just drink my water and it passes. I think we are so use to eating more food then we need and when you want to get to eating right your stomach revolts !! lol
I just remember the saying " Eat to live, not live to eat " Wish me luck !!!!!!

Michele said...

i wish you the best of success! xo

Carol S said...

Good luck! I'm working on a healthier diet myself!

What eating plan are you on?

The Friendly Equation

Friend: name given to a partner in joy, accomplice in crime and aide in trouble. These wonderful creatures make life as a social being much pleasant and rewarding. You 'd dread to imagine any social scenario without friends: be it school, college, a workplace, the gym or a party..

Over the years I've been trying to understand the whole mechanism of friendship, of the imaginary 'click' and the 'will be there for you'. Foremost comes the bonding: similar interests do the trick! You go like 'hey this dude/dudette eats/watches/reads the same stuff as me!we'll get on great!'..
Or, in less fortunate cases, it may just be 'bonded by chance': like it or not, that chick is gonna be in your room for the year, better work on it!
That's about what makes it tick. Now to what keeps it on track.

Suppose that link connecting you breaks: the interests are not so common anymore, the obligation to stay/work/study together is no more there, what then?
Well its obvious most of the time we just accept the change and move on, afterall there's no shortage of potential friend material out there! Convenience is comfort. The 'will be there' becomes 'will try' and eventually just a question of 'will see'. Its baffling, isn't it?For once you would have dreamt your whole life with your friends right there with you, taking life as it comes. And then, that one thread snaps, and you tell yourself 'you've grown and the dreams have changed..'. Or something.
I have, countless many times.

But there's this one thing that immortalizes your friendship: the emotional bond. Its when you and your friend share the same ideals, the same principles, the things that make you. Its when, deep inside, there's respect and love for the other, an understanding and acceptance of the latter's nature and behavior. This is what, when you meet your friend after ages, makes you carry on from where you'd left it, effortlessly. That which gives your friend the ability to gauge your disdain behind the neutral smile,to think your thoughts with you, to communicate without speaking..

Its a lot like love. Platonic. Unconditional.

And you're lucky to have it :)

  1. :)
    and the lines that followed it...?

  2. Its about a little perspective we share with everybody, not everything can be defined however you really turned it beautiful

  3. its not an attempt at definition,just an expression of my perspective. Thanks . :)

Texas food prices dip in time for summer

Texas food prices dip in time for summer

Shoppers save 4 percent from last quarter, according to TFB’s Grocery Price Watch

WACO, Texas—Texas shoppers can save on summer grilling essentials—including a hamburger, chicken breast or pork chop—according to the latest Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) Grocery Price Watch survey. The total cost of the 16-item grocery basket was $44.55, down from $46.40 last quarter.

“One of Texans’ favorite summer pastimes is grilling,” said TFB President Kenneth Dierschke. “Good deals on meat make it easier to serve up a delicious, affordable meal for your family.”

Food prices have held steady compared to the second quarter of 2012, as well, with the sample grocery basket totaling 11 cents less this year.

“Although some of our own Texas farmers and ranchers still are experiencing difficult drought conditions, our neighbors in the Midwest have enjoyed more rain this year. Extra moisture has made our nation’s corn, wheat and other crops flourish. That has helped level out commodity prices, which trickle down to consumers,” Dierschke said. “Many of the items in our Grocery Price Watch basket reflect those savings.”

Of the 16 items surveyed, 13 items decreased in price from last quarter: lettuce, fresh tomatoes, corn flakes, rice, dried pinto beans, cake mix, milk, sliced turkey, cheddar cheese, ground beef, chicken breasts, sirloin steak and pork chops. Only three items—grapefruit, white bread and vanilla ice cream—increased in price from the last quarterly survey.

The TFB Grocery Price Watch is conducted quarterly by volunteer shoppers at grocery stores across the state of Texas. The current survey data was collected by 41 shoppers from June 6-13, 2013. TFB has monitored Texas food prices through its Grocery Price Watch survey since March 2009.

Welcome to the story of a real marriage.

Marriage is simultaneously the biggest blessing and the greatest challenge two people can ever take on. It is the joy of knowing there is someone to share in your joys and sorrows, and the challenge of living with someone who thinks it’s a good idea to hang a giant antelope head on your living room wall.

In The Antelope in the Living Room, New York Times best-selling author and blogger Melanie Shankle does for marriage what Sparkly Green Earrings did for motherhood—makes us laugh out loud and smile through tears as she shares the holy and the hilarity of that magical and mysterious union called marriage.

Medical Business Valuations

What is a business valuation?

A medical business valuation is where the economic value of a medical business is determined, which can help establish the fair value of the company. The valuation incorporates the business’s value, intangible assets, and securities that are required for taxation, disputes, accounting, and transaction reasons.

We recognise the need for the business valuation industry to continually develop as fair value reporting and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) gains global acceptance.

You need to stay up-to-date with current standards, work practices, and resources if you are providing valuation services to allow you to support professional development and provide insight.

The Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board (APESB) sets business valuation standards and governs all engagements and assignments is Australia. These standards apply to all accountants who work in the government and corporate sector.

There is no single way to determine what a business is worth, as a business’s value can be different to different people. One person may believe a business is worth more because of its connections to the community, while another may believe a business’s value is defined by its historic income. Economic conditions can affect how people view a business’s worth, and when there are fewer jobs, increased competition causes a business’s selling point to rise.

A business’s value can also be affected by the circumstances of its sale. If a business has a well-planned effort it will attract more buyers and the assets of the business will sell faster at auction.

Melbourne medical business valuation

There are many reasons to find out the value of your Melbourne business, as it is necessary when you are:

  • Selling shares in a business
  • Buying or selling a business
  • Finding your own net worth
  • Attracting investors
  • Getting a business loan

There are several different ways to perform a business valuation, with each method having its own advantages and disadvantages, and some being more complex than others. Business valuation usually uses a combination of different methods.

It is best to get a professional valuer or business broker to assess your business, as buyers and sellers can have their own ideas about how much a business is worth. A business’s overall value can be can become more complete and negotiations can be sped up if you have a balanced and independent business valuation.

We offer all our medical clients business valuation and accounting services across Melbourne without any surprise charges, only a fixed price for the actual report. We guarantee that:

  • We will provide supporting material and appropriate reasoning to support any assumptions in the report.
  • It will only take 7 to 10 days from receiving instructions to begin the business valuation to finalise each report
  • Reasoning and appropriate documentation will be given to support clearly set out options

Our Melbourne-based business valuers can give evidence to support a report when requested and prepare all reports to a court standard.

We provide business valuations to a number of different industries, including:

  • Medical practices such as specialist, GP’s and other allied health practices
  • Manufacturing businesses
  • Retail businesses
  • Law firm businesses
  • IT business valuations
  • Café business valuations
  • Hospitality business valuations
  • Hotel business valuation
  • Other accommodation valuation
  • Building, engineering, and construction firms
  • Restaurant business valuations
  • Insurance broker business valuation
  • Wholesale trade business valuations
  • Valuation of royalty income
  • Mining business valuation
  • Transport business valuation
  • Financial planning practice valuation

What information is needed for a medical business valuation

For your financial advisor or valuer to correctly value your medical business, they will need to see at least five years of financial statements, if possible. Your business’s assets and operations may need to be checked during a visit to the premises. Intellectual property, goodwill and future outlook of the business will also be considered as intangible assets, and your business will be compared to other similar businesses on the market.

You will receive an answer to the following questions with a complete medical business valuation:

  • Who is the valuation for (lender, investor, buyer, seller, or other reasons)?
  • How was the business started?
  • What is the business’s reputation?
  • How long has the business been in operation?

  • What are the staff job descriptions?
  • Are environmental and work health and safety laws being met by the business?
  • Are all necessary permits, licences, and registrations held by the business?
  • Are there any long-term contracts held by the business?
  • How long are any contracts and how much are they worth?
  • Does the business have any lease arrangements?

Introductory note from Eric

Please take a look at the early life bios of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, and pick up the salient points of their upbringing and their relationships to their parents. While these two people are exceptions to just about every rule, we may be able to discern something from their charts.

We have one of the most challenging subjects in life and in astrology to cover.

I want to set a low expectation for this class, given the complexity of the subject matter. Money tends to be part of a morass of spiritual and psychological material that ultimately involves every facet of life.

For this reason, money tends to be one of the slowest to respond to people’s intentions — unless, that is, they light a fire under their own ass and decide it’s time to get real about the subject. Then progress can be fast, though that’s predicated on summoning all of one’s resources, and total commitment. And often that does not come with resolving the underlying material. Sometimes financial success can magnify one’s problems. Being rich does not mean being happy. Being of modest means does not mean being unhappy.

We should note here in the early 21st century that the economic game is stacked against nearly everyone. It’s particularly stacked against honest people; because, after all, it’s easier to cheat than it is to do things ethically. It’s easier if you’re selfish; generosity is not generally a trait of the wealthy.

There’s also the matter of financial literacy. Who, exactly, teaches people the basics of personal economics? That information is kept more cryptic than facts about the reproductive system.

Then there’s the matter of energy — particularly crafting a life where you do what you actually love, or even what you’re good at. Sometimes I think back on a week or a month or a year or a few years running Planet Waves, and I wonder how someone less determined, with less stamina, and less skill, and less experience, and less ability to get people to help me, could possibly do anything like this.

If you want to succeed, even modestly, you have to build a team around that goal. This is not about going it alone. I don’t think I’ve ever done a reading for (particularly) a woman trying to succeed in business where I did not say, “Get an assistant.”

Even more necessary than a personal assistant, the most important helps you need are, initially, a bookkeeper and an accountant, ones you trust and can actually converse with. I know personally how difficult it can be to find such people, though it’s worth all of your effort.

It also helps to have a gutsy, creative therapist, who has done more in life than be a therapist. You want the person who has tried just about everything, and been out to the edge a few times and lived to tell the story.

Guts. You, and the people who help you. That’s what it takes these days and potentially for time immemorial. That, and using all of your intelligence all of the time.

KT’s GiGA Genie will soon offer voice shopping

Partnership with Lotte will allow users to pay completely hands-free
Nov 28,2017

Users of KT’s GiGA Genie smart speakers will soon be able to shop online with nothing but a voice command.

According to KT on Monday, the mobile carrier has teamed up with Lotte.com, a local online shopping mall operator under Lotte Shopping, to offer an AI-based service that enables customers to search, order and pay for goods via simple voice commands.

Customers will be able to surf through a list of items offered on Lotte.com and in 400 offline Lotte Super branches on KT’s internet protocol TV and pay for the goods directly.

Currently, users that shop using voice commands are still required to log into their mobile phones to verify the purchase. The upgraded service will eliminate the step with the addition of voice verification.

Paying via voice command with a credit card is still not allowed in Korea. However, the new system gets around this by adding the cost of the shopping to a user’s monthly KT subscription fee. The system will be implemented from the first half of next year.

Baek Gyu-tae, head of KT’s service research center, said user verification through Genie’s voice recognition capability is up to an acceptable standard, though it still needs to attain approval from the Fast IDentity Online alliance to make financial transactions possible.

The way items will be displayed on the TV and the purchasing process are also still to be finalized.

Still, KT has vowed that same-day delivery will be possible using its offline Lotte Super stores and the service will offer a more comprehensive range of products than current TV shopping portals.

“GiGA Genie’s shopping service will become a killer service that pioneers a so-called couch shopping culture,” said Lee Phil-jae, head of KT’s GiGA Genie business division. “We will strengthen our service further by expanding collaboration with other retail and franchise subsidiaries under Lotte Group.”

Dell Talks High Temperature Equipment

Although the new ASHRAE TC 9.9 Temperature Guidelines for Data Centers have not yet been published some IT equipment manufacturers are already jumping on the new criteria.

Dell Computers of Austin, Texas have stated that much of their product line is already suitable for the new A3 and A4 temperature ranges being published by ASHRAE later this year. Dell has gone further to state that they will warranty those products up to A4 levels (114 degrees F and up to 90% RH) even though the products were purchased within the last few months...prior to public exposure of the new guidelines.

Although many in the IT industry have predicted that class A3 and A4 equipment will be more expensive it appears that Dell is challenging that thought with this action on some of their legacy equipment.

As always there are the caveats regarding proper spacing of equipment and installations in hot aisle/cold aisle environments with proper airflow but it appears that the future of class A4 equipment is closer than we thought.

The quotation process usually begins with a meeting often arranged either by phone of email. A time is proposed by the prospective client and a site visit is organised.

The work is discussed further, areas are measured and photographs are taken.

Customers then receive an email outlining the preliminary costs. Should they find these acceptable then a full written quotation specifying all details of work to be undertaken is sent.

Once the client has confirmed they wish to go ahead then work can be booked.

Listed properties

When a building is listed then the process is somewhat different and can be take longer.

The above example is very typical of the type of property on which I work.

Many conservation department require an example square metre.

You will need permission from the conservation department of your local council if the area you wish to restore is considered large - i.e. an elevation of your property.

The joints are filled with mortar

Smaller areas are classed as like-for-like repairs and don't need consent. However, it is arguable as to what constitutes a small area.

The mortar is then brush finished to weatherproof it

Depending on which area of the country you reside, you may find it could take a conservation officer up to six months before you recieve a visit - it depends on how busy they are. In other areas email photographs of are sufficient. Once once you have recieved consent then an example area is sometimes required from your contractor. However, there are now far fewer requests for this nowadays and conservation officers are more likely to drop by and  inspect the work whilst it is being undertaken or when it's finished.

Joints are finished flush to avoid frost sitting on the upper ledges of the stone and the example area is ready to be inspected.

Once listed building consent has been granted, the work can be booked.

N.B.I usually only come out to do quotes once a prospective client has recieved consent.

For more information on listed building consent, please go to:

From Sheriff Deputies, to psychologists, to engineers, we have a diverse and impressive group of faculty on staff at University of Michigan-Dearborn. This semester, UM-Dearborn had the pleasure of adding a Michigan Supreme Court Justice to its faculty.

Supreme Court Justice Brian Zahra began teaching American Judicial Processes at the start of this semester. As a former lawyer and circuit court judge, Zahra offers students the opportunity to gain valuable insight from his past experiences.

Zahra graduated from Wayne State for his undergrad and the University Of Detroit School of Law shortly after. To get through law school, he partnered with another student and started a personal healthcare store. The store was successful and helped him finance his way through school.

The judge started his career as a clerk for Judge Lawrence Zatkoff, which he did for two years. Zahra considers Judge Zatkoff to be one of the most influential people in career and a close mentor.

A few years later, Zahra had made his way to partner at the law firm of Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen, and Freeman. Zahra said he was “A bit frustrated with the functioning of judges he had seen in court as a trial lawyer.” So, when Governor Engler appointed Zahra to the court, he made the decision to become a “rule-of law judge”; to interpret the law as it’s written, not by his personal beliefs.

Zahra has been a judge since 1994, having served on the Wayne County Circuit Court, and the Michigan Court of Appeals. He says that the best part of his role is the intellectual challenges his colleagues pose and the debates they get into. However, the aspect he finds most rewarding is his ability to have an impact on the development of the law.

While Zahra enjoys most of the responsibility that comes with his position, stressful campaigning also comes with the territory. Since judges cannot ask for donations to their campaign, money has to be acquired through fundraising. His fundraising took place statewide during his campaign which he found both mentally and physically exhausting. Zahra compared running for office to trying a case in court.

“When I was a lawyer I couldn’t say during a case that I enjoyed trying it. There was anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, and always having to prepare.”
However, Zahra says the end result of elections is very rewarding, especially if there is a win involved. He had plans to run for Congress when he was younger, but when asked if he still had those plans, he replied with a definite no. Congressmen have to run for office every two years and that is simply too taxing for the judge.

Zahra is no stranger to the classroom, as he used to teach law at the University of Detroit Mercy. Judge Zahra enjoys interacting with students who have intellectual curiosity. He advises students to follow their passion in choosing a career path while also paying attention to the job availability in the field. His plans for the future are to continue with his eight year term in the Michigan Supreme Court and teaching on campus.

    Welcome abaord Justice Zahra. Who better to teach about the judicial process than someone involved in it every day.
