FIVB signs four-year agreement with new global sponsor Ganten

Ganten's Jingliang Zhou with President GraÃ§a in Nagoya
Nagoya, Japan, October 15, 2018 â€“ The FIVB has welcomed Ganten Water into the volleyball family, agreeing a four-year partnership with Chinaâ€™s leading mineral water firm, as the growing popularity of volleyball continues to attract global sponsors.

It has been a landmark season for the FIVB, following the success of its inaugural Volleyball Nations League (VNL) earlier this year. Joining forces with Ganten, part of the Shenzhen Ganten Food & Beverage Co. Ltd, is an indication of the FIVBâ€™s commercial success in China and across the world, whilst identifying the International Federation as a prominent power within the sports movement.

Already supplying water to some of the most recognisable organisations and events in world sport, Ganten will be onsite at all matches worldwide during the VNL and the FIVB Volleyball Womenâ€™s Club World Championship, through to the 2022 editions. Ganten will also supply an innovative athletesâ€™ bench, specifically designed for the VNL.

The agreement also includes digital activations of the FIVBâ€™s events as well as dedicated television and marketing campaigns focused on volleyball.  This will be shown on Chinese broadcaster CCTV-5, China Central Televisionâ€™s dedicated sports channel.

As this yearâ€™s FIVB Volleyball Womenâ€™s World Championship in Japan reaches its climax, it was also confirmed that Ganten will sponsor the next edition of the Womenâ€™s World Championship in 2022.

FIVB President Dr. Ary S. GraÃ§a FÂ° said:
â€œThe FIVB is extremely pleased to partner with Ganten as together we act as one, engaging a growing volleyball audience worldwide. This is a particularly exciting time, with the inaugural edition of the VNL earlier this year showing a revolutionary way forward for the sport. We are passionate about our partnership with Ganten; they share our family values of inclusivity and respect, whilst promoting a healthy lifestyle.

â€œGanten joining the FIVB family is a clear indication of the strength and popularity of volleyball, with another global partner joining the FIVB team to take the sport to the next level, not just in China but internationally.â€

Ganten CEO Jingliang Zhou said:
â€œWe are delighted to be teaming up with the FIVB. Our partnership with such a highly-recognised international sports federation, and its globally iconic events such as the VNL, FIVB World Club Championship and Women's World Championship, will help enhance our brand depth and exposure across the world. As a result of vigorous growth in our overseas markets, where the industry recognises Ganten as the first Chinese drinking water factory to be established, we firmly believe that the partnership with the FIVB will continue to elevate Ganten's reputation internationally.

â€œGanten's long-term investment in sport has enhanced its excellent brand image in the consumer's heart. Our dedicated effort and contribution to the sport movement is increasing people's awareness of the importance of exercise and health. This is parallel to the FIVB's vision of volleyball as the worldâ€™s number one family sport that can be played by all ages and backgrounds, anywhere in the world.â€

Ganten joins the FIVBâ€™s portfolio of international partners, which includes Mikasa, Senoh, Gerflor, DB Schenker and Asics. The partnership with Ganten reinforces the FIVBâ€™s presence in China, a key market for volleyball and beach volleyball.

About the FIVB: The FIVB is the governing body responsible for all forms of volleyball on a global level. Working closely with national federations and private enterprises, the FIVB aims to develop volleyball as a major entertainment sport through world-class planning and organisation of competitions, marketing and development activities.

DISCLAIMER: All of the content below is heavily conceptual and may never be in the game. All images and text are stand-in. Please read this before taking the images out of context!

Visible Equipment

We've always aimed for player actions to be tactile and immersive in Foxhole. It's been our goal for the Foxhole experience to be grounded in reality so you are dealing with physical objects in the world rather than with a UI. There are times when we've strayed from this philosophy but we've always felt like things are corrected when we return to more tactile game mechanics. One big thing that has been missing from the experience has been the ability to see equipment that players are using such as Fuel cans, First Aid Kits, or even AT Mines. This not only works towards of goal of tactile gameplay, but also serves to provide information on player intention to nearby friendlies and enemies.

@HB often is the unsung hero when it comes to user experience in the world of Foxhole and he has been hard at work on this feature. It might seem like a small task, but it actually requires him to revisit every single equippable item and adapt them to the new system. This adaptation process involves finding the appropriate scale of each item and creating new sets of animations for carrying items with different weights and at different movement speeds.

Map Configurations

Having some level of RNG in Foxhole is important to us. If we want every war to feel unique, then every war needs to present new challenges and new objectives. We want to have enough RNG that players aren’t inclined to keep going back, time and again, to their usual familiar towns and regions, but not so much that players are basically relearning the game every war. In short, we want to keep you on your toes.

So this is how resource generation works. We set some regions to be resource-dense. Design-wise we want to try and keep the resources ‘localized’. What this means is that we want the fuel to be in one corner of the world, and sulfur and components in another. This way we can shift what regions are important to secure.

BIG FAT DISCLAIMER HERE that this image is NOT a clear picture of how the resource distribution works. There is a lot of missing information here, but this is a rough depiction of how that first image breaks down into actual resource distribution. This shows a basic idea of how we can control resources on a by-region basis on a very high level. This is what it looks like to us in code, except without the visual aid which (for now) needs to be composed manually.

These images show the starting configurations for the past two wars (and present) war. This is another dimension that we’ve been playing with. If the resources are changing which frontline regions are important, then these starting positions are similarly going to change which backline regions are important. The goal here was to change which roads our players are using; which towns they are upgrading and defending.

It should seem obvious now where our missteps were in this most recent war, but in case you missed the discussion, the tl;dr is that Wardens were upset at their lack of accessible component nodes. Here are some of the lessons we learned:

1) Component nodes are a staple. While it might be more competitive to spread out component nodes into contested regions, a team that gets deprived of them will fall impossibly far behind in technology.

2) Sulfur, while more scarce than components, is non-essential, and a good resource to place in contested regions. Having sulfur in the backline was a big benefit to early-war howitzer and explosive production which could have had an adverse effect on the speed of the war.

3) Changing the starting directionality should be done gradually. Major shifts in starting location between wars has too deep of a learning curve for many players.

With this knowledge, and with the other changes deployed in Update 27, we hope to see a return to the more stable, long-lasting wars we all so desperately want.

Update 26 Retrospective

Several wars have passed since Update 26 launched so we're a lot more comfortable looking at all the data/feedback and making changes based on them. Update 26 was by far our most challenging Update yet technically and game design-wise and while it finally introduced elements into Foxhole that we always wanted, it also unexpectedly introduced some issues that we're now having to deal with.

In terms of what we're excited about. We're really happy that there are finally strategic objectives on the game other than to take more towns. The fact that the front line is moving based on resource location is a huge win in our eyes. I know this has also caused some wonky game balance, but we've always felt that the war could be a lot more strategically diverse so we're really happy with this outcome. The hex map has also broken up the linearity of the old game of "pushing the three columns" which resulted in the same front line every time. We're also really happy with the push towards a more tactile and collaborative logistics game. We feel like resource mining has a good base now so we're looking to revamp the next parts of the logistics chains next, which is production and building.

We always knew that the changes we put into Update 26 were risky game balance-wise so it actually doesn't surprise us that there a problem we have to fix now. From what we've heard, you guys are enjoying the strategic locations for resources, but you feel that the RNG distribution is too unstable. We're also hearing that you guys generally like the idea of scarcity, but you feel that certain weapons and vehicles have become too rare. The good news is that we agree with you guys on most of the concerns. We know we won't be able to address everyone's feedback right away but are making some changes in today's update that we hope will be an improvement, with more changes to follow in the future.

Courtesty of

I'm gonna go over a few of these changes. First, we're going to be tweaking the resource RNG algorithm so that more Sulfur and Components will be distributed in the backlines. We've also added in a resource re-roll tool that allows us to redo the resource distribution of a specific region if we feel it is too harsh. We hope these changes will reduce the snowball effect and result in fairer distributions. Next, we're going to be significantly reducing the cost of fielding Light Tanks and Howitzers and we're making Armoured Cars use Diesel instead of Petrol. We're also going to be nerfing RPG damage to help make tanks worth their rare resource cost. There are additional changes documented into the Update 27 release notes.

If there are more issues that you hope will be addressed, rest assured that Update 28 is right around the corner and not only will we be continuing to balance the game but if all goes well we'll finally be seeing the Harvester in action.

That wraps up another Devblog. Be sure to check out our Foxhole Devstream for more information about upcoming features.

It's official!

Hello everybody! Happy Sunday! I've got some exciting news to share with you (well it's exciting for me, probably not so much for you - but play along if you would).

*****drum roll*****

freaked out 'n small is now open for business on

*****crickets chirping*****

See? It wasn't like riding Space Mountain or anything...but I had fun. :)

Right now I only have a couple handmade Fall and Halloween Garlands up, but after our move I hope to be able to list some of my little dolls and possibly some embroidered items. If you look at the top right sidebar of this blog, you'll see that I included a widget showing items for sale. There is also a tab labeled 'Shop' that you can click on at the top of the blog and it will take you directly to my store!

You should show a sister some love and stop by to take a look at the shop! My adorable Candy Corn Garland is looking for a loving home! The garlands can be made in any color, any length, so if you have something specific in mind, just email me!
In addition to opening my Etsy store you'll notice that my blog layout looks a little different. I was up watching some really terrible movies at about 2am last night and decided to start messing with the design. So please bear with me if things look a little wonky every once in a while as I fix things up a bit. I'm still learning my way around html and blog design...

So that's it for big and exciting news this week. Frankly between finding a place to live and getting everything prepared to open the store...that's more than enough excitement for me!

'til next time...

  1. WHoohoo!! Congrats Colleen!! Can I place a custom order? I want a Bailey stuffed dog. Like the ones you made eons and eons ago. Seriously. We need to talk. Good luck with the shop!

  2. Thanks so much Sonja! I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but I'm seriously staring at the half made Bailey doll that I started for you about a year ago... I never got around to finishing it, and now it needs to be started over! Fletch took off with it at one point and it's got dog slobber all over it - so you'll definitely be wanting a new one. I even have a folder on my desktop with some of Bailey's pics in it - I wanted to get his grey beard right! But there will be one coming your way...eventually! :)

  3. That candy corn garland is SO cute! I'm doing a Halloween I Heart post in two weeks and that is definitely going in! I really like your banner picture too!

  4. Thanks, ladies! Nice to meet you Rach! Heading over to your blog to say hi right now. :)
    Tab, that would put me over the moon! :D

  5. Yaaay! Congrats! Very very cute stuff! I have to feature this in my "fave finds" post this week! The candy corn is so friggin' cute!

  6. Colleen - You are such a peach! Seriously, what a sweetie you are. A Bailey doll would be so well loved in our household. If the old one is still salvageable…we’re never opposed to a little dog slobber ‘round these parts. :)

  7. I love that candy corn banner! So cute!

  8. Thank you so much Misty! I love how wonky they are!

  9. Congratulations on your shop opening! :) I'm hopping over to check it out now. :)

Your comments simply make my day!
Thanks so much for stopping by - hope to see you again!

Here Come The Robots with Evan Shellshear

here come the robotsThis episode of the Big Bang podcast is part of the Next Economy Series, where I interview experts who are thinking and working on the cutting edge of emergent technologies that will shape the next 20 years.

On this episode I’m joined by Evan Shellshear who, before returning to Australia last year, worked for 6 years at Sweden’s leading industry focused research institute, FCC. There he helped write and develop algorithms which run robots and production lines in the world’s largest automotive manufacturers such as GM, Ford, Toyota, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and many more. He has published around 20 scientific papers in peer reviewed journals in fields ranging from automation to robotics and is the author of the bestselling book Innovation Tools. His specialty is commercialization of new technologies and ideas and one area he is particularly passionate about is robotics.

Are the robots coming to take our jobs?

They will augment us; not replace us.

In the short-term, they’ll take over some job related tasks; but not complete jobs; everyone agrees on this: for now, productivity is for the robots.

What will happen in the next 10 years is less clear because a lot of it depends on the advancements that can be made in computer vision, speech recognition and general artificial intelligence. The bottom line is we’re not there yet.

Here are some questions that guided our discussion:

  • What does robotics encompass?
  • Traditionally, robots have been used primarily in manufacturing. What is driving the rise of robots in many industries?
  • What are the advantages of using robots?
  • What are the top barriers preventing robot adoption?
  • What is the potential for workforce automation?
  • What careers should humans be focused on and training for to ensure long term employment?
  • What are three jobs that will go away or drastically have reduced human workforces within five years?

Below is our discussion, listen and let us know what you think on Twitter @jorgebarba and @adrianpedrin.

Raspberry Pi 3 Release Date, News & Update: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Raspberry PI Released; 64-Bit OS Supports Built-In I/O

By Arianne Gift , Updated Nov 25, 2016 02:21 AM EST

SUSE has released the first 64-bit Linux-based OS for Raspberry Pi 3 to allow users to experience the expanse of its device. The latest version is packaged as an image that can be easily be transferred to an SD card with GCC and other development tools.

The recent development includes a btrfs file system that allows simpler administration. Moreover, a more convenient graphical user interface is to be expected. To get the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) working on the Raspberry Pi 3, special adaptations were required. This includes creating a platform to use uboot for an EFI boot environment. Patches were also added to enable WiFi and Bluetooth support.

SUSE Linux Takes the Raspberry Pi 3 Under Its Wing

In a statement at the SUSE Blog, SUSE said that working on the Raspberry Pi 3 was an opportunity to introduce SLES to the many individuals who don't have experience with SUSE Linux. The company then adds that Raspberry PI would be really "cool" platform to exhibit the capabilities of SLES at trade shows with the support of Eben Upton, CEO of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

There is a catch, though: not all SLES capabilities are enabled for Raspberry Pi 3. Given the limited memory resources on the Pi, SUSE used the ICE Window Manager as the default. "Because there have been several ARM enhancements in the latest levels of gcc, you should use gcc-6 instead of gcc for compiling programs," SUSE stated.

More On Raspberry Pi 3

According to Raspberry Pi's official website, the Raspberry Pi 3, with its-quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, is its first device that supports ARM's A64 instruction set and the ARMv8 architecture. The 64-bit Linux-based OS release with support for wireless networking and Bluetooth is its first collaboration with SUSE, which has recently upstreamed the patches to make the project work.

PLANETROMEO Unites Long-Distance Lovers to Demonstrate the Beauty and Power of Love

Earlier this year, PLANETROMEO called out for entries from its millions of members to take part in the ‘LOVE BEYOND BORDERS’ project.

“We wanted to give some of our Romeos in long-distance relationships the opportunity to get together,” said Gui Bosselaers, Head of Marketing at PLANETROMEO. “Two guys who have been in love with each other for some time, but rarely have the opportunity to be with each other – two Romeos who remain deeply in love despite living worlds apart.”

Over 2000 reactions were received from 138 countries; each telling their unique story in a submitted video. Three couples with their Romeos living on different continents were selected. They were surprised in Brazil, Italy and the Philippines with a trip to the Netherlands to be reunited with their love. Arriving during Pride week, each couple experienced a week-long celebration of love and freedom of expression in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

‘LOVE BEYOND BORDERS’ is produced by Dutch TV concept-creator, producer and director Sipke-Jan Bousema and SJB MEDIA for PLANETROMEO. Bousema is known for creating various TV programs and documentaries about LGBT+ emancipation. Sipke Jan said about the project, “I was really touched by the love stories of all the guys and I’m super excited that we can now share these with the world through the global network of PLANETROMEO. No matter who you love, love is wonderful – and it’s worth sharing. LOVE BEYOND BORDERS proves that love is stronger than one might think and it can bridge thousands of miles.”

From its start 15 years ago, PLANETROMEO has always embraced diversity and supported the worldwide fight against discrimination of LGBT+ people.

“We’re proud to connect millions of people all over the world – across borders, cultures and languages,” said Gui Bosselaers. “Our ‘LOVE BEYOND BORDERS’ story shows how love can overcome all obstacles. Everyone deserves to find real love, regardless of who you are or who you love.”

Jun 2018 Newsletter - Transmissions Vol 21, 2018

gri-newsletter-headerVol. 21, 2018

This newsletter highlights the work being done in the GRI Aerospace Bloc today. This group has been in existence for 30 years now and is still going strong. I was involved in the early years when Dale Breen and Don Borden were working to provide a means for U.S. companies to conduct gear research without creating their own laboratories. They came up with the idea of pre-competitive research where projects could be conducted at reduced cost due to group funding and sharing of results. It was a time when gear research was not being funded in the U.S. but was supported substantially by governments in Germany and Japan. It was a means to work on topics important to the whole aerospace community where no one company could do the work alone.

The gear research environment has changed since that time but the concept still works. A good example is the triple vacuum melt steel project. It is an expensive project for any one company to undertake, which makes it risky, but by doing it together the whole aerospace industry may see a benefit. Another example is the recent project to characterize the fatigue properties of AMS 6308 up to a “run out” limit of one billion cycles. With input from the various members as described in this newsletter, several new projects are about to be initiated.

Aerospace gear companies who are not part of the consortium yet are encouraged to contact Aaron Isaacson for additional information and join the group to get access to previous studies and influence the future direction.

Research Project

As existing projects conclude, the Aerospace Bloc research consortium (sponsors: GE Aviation, Avio Aero, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Carpenter Technology Corp., Honeywell, Pratt & Whitney-Canada, Pratt & Whitney-East Hartford, REM Surface Engineering, Rave Gears, Rolls Royce, Sikorsky and UTC Aerospace Systems) undertakes a process to establish and prioritize new research projects at the Gear Research Institute. Typically, this occurs once every few years. We are currently passing through such a period, which started late in 2017. Research topics of interest to each member of the bloc were solicited and a ballot listing their inputs was circulated to the group’s Steering Committee. The priority of each of the listed topics was also requested from the members and this input was tabulated to identify the “high” priority projects that could be considered for “pre-competitive, cooperative” execution. While there were a range of inputs, the top priority projects are easily identified, even from a fairly diverse group of participants. Presently, “Scuffing Evaluation and Loss of Lubrication Testing” was identified as the top priority followed by “Fully Reversed Bending Running Gear Fatigue Testing”.

vol21 fig1

Figure 1: Post-test image of catastrophically failed test gears from loss of lube test.

In the first topic on Scuffing Evaluation and Loss of Lubrication Testing, it is planned to evaluate the scuffing resistance and loss of lube performance of test gears manufactured from a variety of aerospace gear steels. Alloys being considered are AISI 9310, Pyrowear 53, Pyrowear 675, Ferrium C-64 and M50-NiL. Various tooth surface treatments will also be evaluated. Surface treatments to be considered include isotropic superfinishing with the typical as-ground gear tooth surface serving as a base-line. Coatings were considered but were not included in this effort. While only one gear lubricant is planned for the current project, other lubricants will be considered if financial resources to conduct a larger program become available. Four Square, power re-circulating tests are planned for this effort utilizing ARL Penn State’s high speed (10,000 rpm) test rigs. These have been instrumented to measure effective friction at the tooth contact surfaces and have proven to be an invaluable tool for detecting the onset of scuffing and when catastrophic failure due to scuffing is imminent. The final material and surface treatment matrix will be determined through a second round of balloting from the members of the bloc. Funds have been allocated to evaluate up to five specific gear alloys and two specific surface treatments for scuffing resistance and loss of lubricant operability.

vol21 fig2

Fully reversed bending fatigue testing was also rated highly by the Bloc. Planet and idler gear applications are subject to fully reverse bending loads as they operate both as the driving and the driven gear. However, most fatigue tests to establish design allowable bending stresses, load the gear tooth in a single direction. This data is must be de-rated when designing idler or planet gears because applicable data is not available. Fully reversed bending stresses can be applied in a four square gear test rig through modification of the test boxes to accommodate an additional shaft to mount the test gear, which then operates as the driver and the driven as it engages with the input and output gears. This project will be considered in greater detail once the “priority one” project is fully established. Parallel processing of this project could be considered if additional financial resources were available (i.e. if more sponsors of the Aerospace Bloc were recruited). Additional research topics that received attention in the first round of balloting were contact and bending fatigue evaluation of other gear steels, contact fatigue evaluation of cavitation peened gears and evaluation of other surface treatments and super finishing methods. Currently ongoing Aerospace Bloc projects include Triple-Melt Gear Steels, Single Tooth Bending Fatigue of Optimized Cavitation Peened Gears, Very Long Cycle Fatigue of AMS 6308 and Mitigation of Micropitting.

Education and Training

In order to assist with replenishment of the gear industry’s aging work force, the Gear Research Institute has developed a hands on education program for students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The results of the program are entry level engineers that have been trained in the basics of gearing. This involves incorporating engineering undergraduate students, at the junior/senior level and graduate students in the Institute’s research laboratory while being paid by a grant from the sponsoring industrial entity. Summer internships have also been arranged at the sponsor’s facility, so that the student and the sponsor have an opportunity to assess each other with future employment in mind.

Typically, students get hands on experience by setting up and monitoring gear test equipment with additional training topics such as gear metrology, failure analysis, metallurgical characterization, vibration monitoring for failure detection, statistical analysis of test data and more.

This newsletter’s student profile is of Jena Griffin. Jena received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Engineering with an option in Agricultural Engineering and a minor in Off Road Equipment. Jena’s position was made possible through a grant from John Deere. She had been working in the GRI test lab supporting several projects since August of 2017. Jena graduated in May and has accepted a positon as a test engineer at New Holland Agriculture and Construction (CNH Industrial).

Proteome Analysis of Separated Male and Female Gametocytes Reveals Novel Sex-Specific Plasmodium Biology

About (English version):

Gametocytes, the precursor cells of malaria-parasite gametes, circulate in the blood and are responsible for transmission from host to mosquito vector. The individual proteomes of male and female gametocytes were analyzed using mass spectrometry, following separation by flow sorting of transgenic parasites expressing green fluorescent protein, in a sex-specific manner. Promoter tagging in transgenic parasites confirmed the designation of stage and sex specificity of the proteins. The male proteome contained 36% (236 of 650) male-specific and the female proteome 19% (101 of 541) female-specific proteins, but they share only 69 proteins, emphasizing the diverged features of the sexes. Of all the malaria life-cycle stages analyzed, the male gametocyte has the most distinct proteome, containing many proteins involved in flagellar-based motility and rapid genome replication. By identification of gender-specific protein kinases and phosphatases and using targeted gene disruption of two kinases, new sex-specific regulatory pathways were defined.

Board games as comfort food

An old gaming friend recently let me know that Station Master was getting reprinted via Kickstarter. Since I have a copy of the Mayfair edition, I didn’t feel any need to back it but I was glad that it was getting reprinted.

But it got me thinking. Station Master is a game that I consider a good game but not a great game. It isn’t a game that I think gives you one of those amazing, memorable gaming experiences that you bore non-gamers with. But it is a game that I’d always be willing to play.

In fact, even though I have ruthlessly culled my collection over the years (although not so much that it actually frees up a closet), Station Master has never been in the cull pile. Its a game that I very much plan on keeping.

Because there are games that are the kind of games that you plan an entire evening around. There are games that are a kind of special event. Back in my old gaming group, playing Advanced Civilization once or twice a year was one of those games.

And then there are the gaming equivalent of comfort food, games that aren’t big productions but games that are not just easy to get on the table and get in a play or two, they are games that you actually do that with them.

So, honestly, these comfort food games are what I have played more of over the years. And a decent percentage of my collections qualifies as comfort food games. It’s great to eat steak but that’s not what you eat every day.

But they do have to be games that are good enough that you want to play them over and over. And that’s no small thing. It’s a special kind of just good enough that is actually super excellent.

Station Master, you know, it deserves to get reprinted.

Saint Nick's Eggnog

  • 6 large EGGS
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 4 cups whole milk, divided
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 12 cinnamon sticks for garnish
  1. BEAT eggs, sugar and salt in large heavy saucepan until blended. STIR IN 2 cups milk.
  2. COOK over low heat, stirring constantly but gently, until mixture is just thick enough to just coat a metal spoon with a thin film and temperature reaches 160°F, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to boil. REMOVE from heat immediately.
  3. STIR IN remaining 2 cups milk and vanilla. REFRIGERATE, covered, until thoroughly chilled, several hours or overnight.
Insider Info:

For a festive presentation, garnish with whipped cream, ground nutmeg, cinnamon sticks or candy canes.

Secrets of success: Low heat, a heavy sauce pan, constant stirring and patience are the keys to making the eggnog. If you increase the cooking temperature to try to speed the process along, the mixture is likely to curdle. Stirring constantly, making sure to cover the entire bottom and corners of the pan, prevents scorching and ensures that the mixture heats.

Watch carefully and test frequently toward the end of the cooking time, after about 10 to 12 minutes. The last few minutes are crucial. Undercooked eggnog will be thin and watery; overcooked custard will curdle. The difference is a matter of only a few degrees.

For perfectly smooth eggnog: Pour through a sieve before chilling.

For a richer eggnog: Substitute half-and-half or light cream for some of the milk.

To keep eggnog cold during a party, set punch bowl or pitcher in a bed of crushed ice, or freeze some of the eggnog in ice cube trays or ice ring using a bundt pan and add to bowl right before party.

Use leftover eggnog in French toast or pancake batter.

15. Councillors on the Committee

Our constitution gives the council the right to appoint someone to our committee – are they any different to the rest of the committee?

Many local organisations find themselves in this position. The first thing to do is look closely at your constitution to determine exactly what the situation is. There are 3 possible options

1. The council nominates observer(s)
2. The council nominates either staff members or councillors as trustee(s)
3. The council itself is named in the constitution as a trustee and a staff member sits on the committee to discharge the council’s responsibility

NB In addition to the confusion over what the committee and the members of the committee are called, there is further scope for confusion here as in local authority circles councillors are referred to as ‘members’ and local authority staff as ‘officers’.

In Option 1 the observer merely observes, is not a voting member of the committee and may contribute if invited to do so by the chair. Even if the council is a funder the observer has no special powers or authority over the committee.

In Option 2 the councillors or staff nominated by the council are trustees like all the others and must put the interests of the charity first rather than represent the interests of the council. If there is a conflict of interest they must put the interests of the charity first.

In Option 3 it is the council that is the trustee and the staff member is there to carry out the council’s duties. The individual staff member does not have personal liability. In general, where the Council is the trustee, it acts alone.

Where a local Authority is the Trustee, does it always act alone?

In general yes, but not always. The council may involve others for a variety of reasons such as involving users, involving independent trustees, or it may have involved others with a view to eventually changing the constitution in order to remove itself as sole trustee. This is a relatively rare situation and you should seek specialist advice from the Charity Commission or read the ‘Councillors’ Guide: to a council’s role as charity trustee’.

Our Parish Council has written to tell us that they have the right to appoint a trustee to the committee. Is this right?

In certain circumstances Parish Councils have a right to appoint trustees under section 79 of the Charities Act 1993. Speak to the Charity Commission first. You may need independent legal advice.

Where can I find out more about Local Authorities and Charities?

The Charity Commission has produced a Local Government Charity Toolkit (do not download, open in Internet Explorer only).  You can also contact the Charity Commission directly if the Toolkit doesn’t answer you questions.

Is there a guide to how councillors and officers should behave on a committee?

Yes, NCVO and the Local Government Association drew up a code of Practice for this situation. Called ‘Are You Sitting Comfortably?’ it sets out acceptable standards of conduct for councillors (members) and local authority staff (officers) who find themselves sitting on management committees of voluntary organisations. Although ten years old, it has not been superseded and the principles remain sound.

Never too late to try.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
Unless clearly stated as such, opinions expressed by Dan Kimmel on this forum are not the opinions or policies of The Bass Federation of Michigan.

I wouldn't sweat the number of Cos vs the number of boaters at this point.....Boaters tend to sign up at the last minute for various reasons....I have seen the Coangler/boater ratio make a 25 angler swing in a week on LSC tournaments...

I hope you understand that I am extremely ambivalent about oil subsidies in any form at all. That's why I think this discussion is problematic when it is waged in sound bytes as it has been, though I understand why that's happened.

And I doubt I would really agree with either wing of the opposition in terms of overall energy policy; just as they don't seem to agree with each other. (And I'm not going to pretend I've got it all figured out, either!)

But here's what worries me. Though you may be right about the tenuousness nature of the fuel-inflation connection generally, I think there is a difference when it comes to people who are spending much of their expendable income on food already; they can't buy less without going hungry. That's why they say the demand for things like food is relatively inflexible. While those of us with resources may just cut back on the frills, for many, many people there are no frills to cut. I think if we look back at the round of inflation the preceded the round caused by the bad monsoon last year, we'd find more evidence of that connection, but I don't have time to hyperlink it.

Whatever the government does about oil subsidies, it needs to address food security and hunger.

As for the budget, P. Sainath was convincing on this; there are many, many ways in which the government is choosing to pass up legitimate income in order to subsidize unsustainable development--and the big fish, generally. Tax breaks for car manufacturers come to mind, but the list is long. I wish I'd take better notes, but he's written most of it down already.

In the long run, of course, there is no way around it: oil prices will rise, whatever the government does. In that sense, one could argue that some of the current debate distracts from that long term reality.

I loved the video, by the way!Hari Battihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14789125444941418973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081375376975563520.post-26214591628865464472010-07-05T22:37:44.241+05:302010-07-05T22:37:44.241+05:30There's another link here which people overloo...There's another link here which people overlook. Increase in fuel prices can actually bring down inflation! It's quite simple. Here's how.

Extra money spent on fuel means that it can't be spent on other items. Therefore logically the demand for those "other" items will go down which will decrease prices. Based on my understanding of economics, the whole "oil prices will fuel inflation" is overblown. It will certainly have an impact, but will balance out overall.

As far as the fiscal deficit goes, we're in a precarious situation. If we don't do something drastic, we will go bankrupt by 2013.

My feeling is that the government simply has no choice. After all, which government wants to lose popularity? This whole "bharat band" is terrible branding for the UPA. I don't think they would ever have done something like this if there was any other way out. The government is so sensitive to other things like religion etc, it's impossible that it would do something like this that risks eroding their base.

From where I'm sitting, this looks like a courageous decision. Something that I didn't really think the government had the guts for...Bhagwad Jal Parkhttp://www.bhagwad.com/blognoreply@blogger.com

Home Stretch!

We are officially in what I call the home stretch. Our GPS, which isn’t completely reliable, tells us that we have 86 miles left to walk. Doug’s achilles tendon is bothering him and at the end of each day, I somehow have at least one new blister.
We have been walking through cities for the last two days and I don’t think we will see any more countryside between here and Shenzhen which makes me a little sad.
All of our expectations regarding what we thought this last bit of the walk would be like we’re wrong. Internet access is even more sketchy here than it was in the most rural parts of our walk last year. (hence the irregular updates to growingsoles). And, contrary to our hopes, we aren’t encountering more English speakers. We also expected that hotels would be more plentiful and easier to find. However, today,after putting in our fifteen miles, we stood dripping with sweat on a corner asking a group of shop owners where the nearest hotel was. “A kilometer back that way” one man indicated to us while his friend pointed in the opposite direction indicating that the nearest hotel was further up the road. While the two guys debated, a woman who had pulled up on a motor scooter began yelling at them and then pointed directly across the street where not 50 feet from where we stood was a hotel. I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to us. We ask where the nearest hotel is and we are told it’s 8 kilometers up the road when in fact, the nearest hotel is literally RIGHT NEXT DOOR! Ten minutes later we were in a room with the AC cranked up. Life is good. I can’t help but think of Hippolyte whose only respite from the heat would have been a spot of shade and never a cool drink passed his lips. They seem like small things but make his journey all the more remarkable to me. He was a trooper.

About Micae Martinet

3 Responses to “Home Stretch!”

  1. Dan Parker

    I assume you are aware, but since you have not mentioned it and have stated that internet is sketchy. There is a typhoon landing in southeast China with estimates of 12-18 inches of rain. Flooding has already been massive in the Filippines due to the storm – so take care!

  2. Thomas A. Martinet

    Obviously, China was, I believe, the most difficult part of the trip for Hippolyte. In the few details we have, not only was the language part difficult for him, but the perception on the part of the people that he was an American beggar (which he was in a sense) in a Country of impoverished people. The World was considerably different in the 1920’s and China, I believe, was really quite different. Regardless of politics, in one century, China has changed considerably. The entire world has changed immensely in the last one hundred years, but China’s change is on steroids.

Blog Tour: Excerpt LIVE WIRE by Cristin Harber

  CristinHarber_LiveWire_HR (1)
WIRE Where Are They Now? on iBooks!

 Titan Group is expanding! New recruits mean Jared Westin has potential new hires to scrutinize. What he didn’t expect was his very pregnant wife Sugar to finagle her way onto the surveillance team as the prospects were assessed.

Her involvement in the simple observation goes dangerously wrong. She and best friend Lexi Black stumble into a problem with Russian mobsters. Sugar is forced to draw on her old ATF tricks, but weeks from her due date, she has no choice but to team up with Bishop O’Kane, a potential-new recruit and Parker Black, Lexi’s hacker husband, who must go undercover.

 This is special ops novella is packed with high-stakes crime and intrigue, a baby story for Boss Man, and two steamy romances for two of Titan’s favorite couples!
“This is exciting.”

He plopped them both down, and Lexi curled into his arms while he surfed the channels for something sports related. With a football-classics channel on in the background, he tied her hair around his finger and watched her smoky eyes flutter open and closed. “So exciting, you’re falling asleep.”

“Stop it.” She turned in the crook of his arm. “You get to play cops and robbers all the time. Sugar does. Everyone does. I think it’s neat even if I just get to sit in a car and listen to my girl babble about her spot-on gut feeling. It’s something different.”

Parker pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Just be careful.”

“How much trouble can we get into watching a guy grocery shop or whatever?”

His rumbling laugh met hers. With Sugar, they both knew the answer.

“Alright. Of course we’ll be careful.”

“Good.” He let go of a piece of her platinum-blond hair. “Go to sleep, and I’ll carry you to bed.”

Lexi turned over on her chest. “Why am I going to sleep?”

“Uh… sports? Because your eyes are shut?”

“I’m a full-fledged spy girl now.”

“Alright, spy girl. You don’t need to sleep.”

“Maybe I do. Either way, I know this isn’t technically how you guys scout your new team members. But really, Sugar was going stir-crazy. She needed to feel as though she was still important to your team.”

“Of course she is.”

“I just kind of know that there’s something unexplainable about being pregnant and having folks handle you with kid gloves. It has to be a first for her.”

He cackled. “No one’s treating her any different.”

“Bull. Even Sugar’s treating herself different.” Parker squeezed Lexi tight. “We take care of our own.”

As she snuggled into his chest, her previous life seemed a thousand miles away, yet she knew he was dead serious. “I love you, and I love being part of your world.”

“It’s not just this job, Lex. Or what you do for Jared behind a computer screen.” He kissed the top of her head. “You are our world. Once you’re in, you’re in. Titan for life.”

The wind was howling this morning as the first Tram hit the dock, and though the thermometer said it was balmy, the wind and feel told a different story.  The Sun was calling for laps in Mineral Basin, where White Diamonds had been given another till for the day, with some more extensive lines down lower.  The front of the hill was seriously crispy and I took the time to visit the Forklift Chair to let warming occur.  The break was going to be long and slow as the wind kept the Sun from working the aspects and it would be 1:00PM before any real hair began to rise on the pack, though Mineral Basin was getting the sorbet feel much earlier. DSC02764 Here is a shot from a ride up the Baldy Chair, which I include as a non sequitur for comic relief.  The coverage is very good and it is just these South facing aspects that are taking a beating.  The rest of the hill is in good shape, and only some of the very high relief knobs are showing the shrubberies. Tomorrow, look for some weather to  move through quickly in the morning, but we will have to wait and see how it shakes out.  Though the Valley temps. are predicted to be in the high 50’s, I don’t expect much in the way of softening.  Look to the Groomers for smooth lines, but there will be crispiness for sure, so tread carefully.  Here is a shot of a few of the seekers waiting for the warming to occur and are calling it beer : 30.DSC02767Expect the holiday crowd to be gone for the beginning of the week, and enjoy the private resort feel that will characterize the morning session.  See you there to experience what only first Tram will reveal.  Others will just have to hear about it after we get it all.  Ciao!!

Martelly speech at CARICOM regarding Dominican ruling - VIDEO

Here is the video of the speech delivered by Haitian President Michel Martelly at the CARICOM recently. The speech actually contributed to the final decision of the Caribbean Community to defer a Dominican request to become a member of the trade bloc.

We need to give credit to where credit is due.

President Michel Martelly defended the nation very elegantly at CARICOM.

One day following the the CARICOM decision, Dominican Republic announced that they would no longer meet with Haitian officials to talk about a court ruling.

My conclusion to this is that the Dominican government thought that they would proceed with their policy while engaging us in never ending meetings.

We do not want meetings with the Dominican authorities. We just want concrete actions

Minibe teat review - reviewers needed ....

Minibe's are looking for new mums to review their new born teats ....

Minbie teat
Minbie is a high quality soft silicone baby’s bottle teat with revolutionised design-functionality

that nurtures a newborn’s instinctive breastfeeding technique.

Why Minbe ....

They passionately believe that you should be able to breastfeed and bottle-feed your baby.
To help you, they have created Minbie which is a teat designed to support your newborn’s instinctive breastfeeding technique. This means that when newborns feed from Minbie they practice the instinctive latch and feeding-action for nurturing breastfeeding. This is a significant breakthrough in matching breast and bottle-feeding techniques and preventing feeding-confusion*.
For newborns who can not be breastfed, we created Minbie to allow them to bottle-feed with the instinctive breastfeeding technique that they are born with because why shouldn’t they be able to feed intuitively with the technique that is developmentally right for them and that helps release digestive enzymes for proper digestion of the milk.

Our research has found that generic and orthodontic bottle-teats can quickly teach newborns a different latch and feeding-action to the newborn’s natural instinctive breastfeeding technique. This may be sufficient for bottle feeding, but it can cause feeding confusion and problems such as a ‘weak latch’ and ‘lazy feeding’ when the baby is breastfeeding.
If your newborn has become used to other bottle-teats, he or she may have difficulty feeding from a Minbie teat. This may be an indication that your baby’s instinctive feeding technique has been damaged.
Every feed counts …
Use Minbie as the first and only bottle teat for your baby to help maintain and strengthen your baby’s instinctive breastfeeding technique, the way nature intended.

Minbie’s design

Minbie’s significant

  • Minbie nurtures a newborn’s ability to breastfeed by allowing newborns to bottle-feed with the instinctive feeding technique that they are born with.
  • Minbie supports a newborn's digestion by helping to release natural digestive enzymes. This supports a baby’s sleep too.
  • Minbie matches breast and bottle feeding techniques.

So if any of you have new born babies 0-6 months if you comment below the first five of you will have your details passed on and you will receive a newborn feeding pack!

They want to know the age of my readers babies and whether they have introduced another bottle teat, and if so if it has worked for them. 6+ and under is most effective.

So get commenting and the first five will be the reviewers .....

If you want to know more about them why don't you check out their website

Review || Wilkinson Sword Intuition Ultra Moisture

So its my cousins wedding this weekend and I'm having to make my legs suitable for public viewing! Usually my legs are hidden and the only leg skin that see the light of day are the bits that peak out behind the holes in my jeans.

I don't tend to get my legs out but when I do, I do like them to look good!
I'm pretty lazy when it comes to shaving my legs, and I will let them grow rather wildly if I have no reason to show them off! Obviously something Jon loves hates with a passion!
I was very kindly sent Wilkinson Sword Intuition Ultra Moisture , to try! The fact its an all in one really appealed to me, because.... I am..... a lazy shaver!

Intuition razors are the first 3-in-1 razors to lather, shave and moisturise in one easy step, giving your skin that naturally healthy glow. Simple and convenient, it's the perfect razor for busy women and mums on the go. Save time and money on s…

Potty Training Academy // Sticker Chart.

Ru has taken to potty training like a pro! He's had hardly any accidents and is no longer using nappies during the day.

I started him off in Bambino Mio training pants but after a day of a couple accidents he started taking himself to the toilet without any prompt from me.

I introduced him to his Potty Training Academy sticker chart on day one and he was very keen to fill it up, so even when he didn't need the loo, he would try and squeeze something out just to get a sticker.

We used both a toddler loo seat and the carry me potty, but he prefers to do his wee's just like his brothers...standing up. He sings putting out the fiiiire when he's weeing (god knows where he got that from! lol.)

The first real test was sending him to nursery and seeing if he returned with a bag full of wet pants. I made sure the washing machine was free for his return but when he came home wearing the same outfit that he went in in was such a win.

The sticker chart was a great help with gett…

Counselor Review Apopka

I attended a free cancer talk in Winter Park many years ago with a friend who had cancer. Dana was the speaker at the event. Last year, I found out I had cancer. I was scared to death and had so many questions. I remembered she was very compassionate at the cancer talk when I went with my friend and looked her up. I made an appointment with her right away. She has been so helpful and knows so much about cancer, she gave me a new outlook about dealing with my own cancer. She is very good. I recommend her.  Fernanda P., Apopka.

is located at:

214 East Washington Street, Suite A, Minneola, Fl. 34715

Dana is very friendly and the most understanding counselor I have met. She doesn’t scold you harshly about your flaws, is easy to talk to, and really LISTENS! I have been to some in the past, who didn’t really listen to me or understand how I feel. Since I have been seeing Dana, that has all changed. She doesn’t always have answers, but encourages me to think more critically about how I am feeling and helps me to understand myself Continue Reading

Sanibel's Story

When my Thoroughbred mare, Sanibel, started losing her vision I didn't know what to do. My once reliable, easy going horse was suddenly becoming unpredictable and unmanageable. She spooked quite easily, becoming difficult to handle.

In turn out she paced the fence to no end. I looked for advice everywhere but I was in an environment that believed blind horses were dangerous and must be put down. I was unwilling to accept that alternative.

I've had my first horse, Misty, for almost five years now. Last summer she began to lose her sight in her left eye.

Competition Breeding Program

First Orso Bruno in 2016 and then Luna Cresenta in 2017 our competition breeding program is well underway. Ruby has been an excellent brood mare and she will be having a year off and then we will decide whether we use her again.

Both Bruno and Luna are growing up well, learning all the time by coming onto the yard for handling each day, gaining confidence and independence. Luna always busy watching the lessons in the school with interest.

There is still plenty of time before they start their training and with their experience they are getting, we feel they will offer their ability effortlessly. We look forward to seeing their progress over the coming years.
