I am a wikiholic

From ThorstensHome
Revision as of 11:48, 5 May 2009 by WikiSysop (Talk)

Jump to: navigation, search

I am a wikiholic. I am addicted to wikis. You know why? They help me develop my mind. In medieval times, internet pages were build by someone who knew™ and addressed to novices. An expert, say for the KDE desktop environment, sat down and thought about what could be interesting for newcomers. Then he wrote it. Wrong way, I say. An expert is not good in teaching. Someone who just learned is good in teaching. Being in export mode prevents you from remembering all the quirks. When I started with Linux, I had big problems getting software to compile. Then I found out that you are better off if you use your distribution's methods of installing software. A classical expert does not even recall this. Of course, I wrote it down. Now this description is available to all the world, not just me. And it can even be improved by other people. So, what do we have so far:

  • wikis allow people to share knowledge
  • wikis allow people to improve each other's content
  • wikis improve quality of documentation for beginners (if handled correctly)

But the most important point of all is the availability and ease of use. I wrote a tutorial about Installing Linux on a USB disk. I can access it anywhere I have internet. At the beginning, there were glitches in the article that I stumbled upon. Everytime when I did, I corrected the article. This availability of write access is the biggest advantage in my eyes. My wiki is like a giant notepad that I can read/write access anywhere I have internet. wikipedia is like a giant notepad of all people. If I cannot remember how I get the ™ sign onto html pages, I note it down on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references#Character_entity_references_in_HTML. If someone already has, even better.

In my long life, I have started with a static web page. It was a great fun these days because nobody had one. I could describe me a bit and tell about my hobbies there. That is great for everyone who is interested in my favorite color. But it is missing the good old effect that we Germans call "the appetite comes while eating". The english call it "to get into the flow". It actually works like this: You made the page - you have it - you hate it - you have other things to do than changing it. It is for the world but people tend to be selfish and stop working if nothing comes back. No flow, no appetite in this.

So I decided to publish my tutorials on my web page. I am forgetful (as everyone is) and I keep forgetting if I activate host-based mirroring with

mdadm --assemble --config /blah/mdadm.conf /dev/md0

vgchange -a y blahvg

And, frankly, I do not care. Just give me my tutorial, it is written there. This is the "flow" I get into: I have an advantage from my own webpage - let me improve it, and I will benefit from it.

My decision was to go for phpnuke as content management system. It allows two users to work over the web on one document. This is a big advantage and would have been enough for me. What a luck upgrading phpnuke rendered it so buggy that I decided I needed something different.

I went for mediawiki, and this is the solution I stayed with. It also allows web-based editing and collaborative article editing. But it goes one step further that makes it enterprise-ready: version control. phpnuke is fine for personal home pages where one person has total control over an article. But if you are using it over years with hundreds of potential authors, you get into trouble. Someone deletes the content. Someone makes a change and the original author does not feel okay with it. With version control, you can revise who made what changes why. You can revert vandalism. You can ask the actual person who did a change "why did you do this?". And you can even leave a comment what you changed and why. If you can not do this, I would not call a content management system "collaborative".

So here is the evolution of content management:

  • static web pages - every website owner can publish his favorite colors
  • phpnuke/typo3/sharepoint like content management systems - you can work web-based on articles
  • wikis like mediawiki - you can work collaboratively

Wikis are also often contrasted with blogs. Blogs are clever as long as nobody else can contribute content to your topic ("today I ate marmelade" is ideal for being blogged). The comment functionality of today's blogging systems is even superior to that of a wiki.

By using the wiki-as-a-notepad paradigm, you can boost your productivity like hell. Companies that are smart enough to provide their employees with wikis get a collaboration platform producing knowledge that stays even if the contributors leave the company. Several people together can write an article that is better than each individual's would have been. Want to share your knowledge? The answer in old days was "Write a whitepaper and get it published in the world wide web". Takes two months at least. And afterwards, you are annoyed because a little addition came to your mind that is not in the whitepaper and will never be. With a wiki, you can just spread your knowledge and move on to your next project.

For whatever reason, wikis dominate the engineering world. As soon as it comes to sales/marketing/legal issues, they are not used heavily. I ask myself why. Why not use a wiki as a customer relationship management tool? Your customers are annoyed because your company has asked them ten times if they know about new technology XYZ? It is because your sales guys do not exchange knowledge smart enough. Yes, sales guys tend to be very communicative. You get so many mails from them that you had to vacuum-clean your mailbox. Now, has customer A been asked if he knows about XYZ? Your mailbox is empty and the colleague who should know™ is on vacation. Ah, and there is this customer relationship management tool that knows everything. But to get into it, you need to pass a training first and just when you wanted to start the training, the phone was ringing... you know this. The solution would be to look up customer A in your wiki. And to write notes into the wiki whenever you have talked with A. This would be so easy that employees would finally start using it.

two shailos

  1. Hei- shorten regel (is this too long to be lechatchila after tikkun?)
    Reish- if we measure the regel based on the general ksav then it looks to be a kemaleh Yud (probably not long enough according to the MB).

  2. According MB if a tinok recognizes the letter you may fix the length of the regel.

  3. R' Moshe, Which shaila do you refer to?

  4. The psak I have is that it depends on the length of the regel. If it's a kemaleh os ketana it is kosher (not like the Yad Efraim and Kol Sofrim who require a tinok) and if not it is pasul. (Of course there's the machlokes what a KOK is - a kulmus or kulmus and a mashehu.

    I haven't carefully measured but in this case it is likely a KOK (not likely according to the MB hence might be pasul according to him) based on the general ksav. Perhaps, since the KOK is based on the general ksav, there'd be basis according to those not choshesh for the YE in this case to ask a tinok?

  5. The MB [32:40] is meikal that although there isn't a mlo ois ketana and the letter is passul, since the tinok recognizes the letter, it can be fixed in tefilin shlo ksidran.
    I understand that this kula of the MB is correct according to his shita, not only in regard of the left regel of the hay, but in regard to the right regel as well.

    1. I'm not aware of anyone understanding the MB that this applies applies to the right regel If so, a maleh os ketana is required and is otherwise pasul and irreparable. In this case, while I didn't measure, if measured according to the standard kulmus, it appears to be pasul and irreparable according to the MB, who requires a kulmus plus. However, others who only require a kulmus it appears to be kosher.

  6. Do you have a mekor to apply this to the yerech? What about Menachos 29a?

    See Kesiva Tama and Yeriot Shlomo who are mechalek between the nekuda of the Hei and the yerech of the Hei (Reish, Dalet..)

  7. yes, the later acharonim are mechalek, but I think that we should be more lenient (than their opinion). It will be a length for me to explain my position, and I am planning on doing so in my hebrew blog (in english it will consume to much ...)
    But in any way you hold in that regard, when we combine this svara, to those that say that MLOK is measured by standard width of the csav, and not by this reish which it's gag is an exception. It is pashut that you can fix the reish.

  8. Kindly e-mail me a copy or a link at In the meantime I hope to discuss it with Rav Friedlander.

    Note that the 2 sources I quoted are present day poskim. Typically the Kesiva Tama quotes both tzadim but in this case he doesn't provide any mekoros to be mechalek. Are you aware of any Shutim or Poskei zmaneinu that are mechalek?

A very Long Duration Event

In the morning hours of 5 October, the Sun produced a relatively weak B7.8 flare. Interesting were its atypical x-ray evolution and its very long duration. Indeed, starting at 03:17UT, it reached its maximum x-ray intensity only at 07:30UT. Ending at 10:46UT, the flare lasted for a whopping 7 hours and 29 minutes, and that begged for some closer examination. As it turns out, this was a very complex event.

In white light, the Sun appeared very quiet, with only 3 inactive sunspot groups in the area: NOAA 1579 and 1582, each consisting of a big, but single sunspot, and –more to the southeast (bottom left) of NOAA 1582- the very small and decaying NOAA 1584. In H-alpha (the "cold" chromosphere), some fairly small filaments could be seen, with a prominent dark cloud near the southern solar pole and a dynamic filament to the east of NOAA 1582. The transition region and corona (extreme ultraviolet – EUV) sh owed a distinct coronal hole to the east (left) of the sunspot regions. There were also two pseudo-coronal holes, the smaller one being very close to NOAA 1584.

Using different colors, all these features can be put on a magnetogram. This gives an idea on their magnetic polarity (white is positive, black is negative). Sunspots are green, (H-alpha) filaments red, coronal holes are blue and the outlines of the pseudo coronal holes are in dashed orange. The yellow spots are regions showing up brightly in EUV (SDO/AIA 171), mostly corresponding to the sunspot regions. Noticeable are two large areas of opposite magnetic polarity. The "black" magnetic region contains the coronal hole (CH) and one of the pseudo CH, as well as the trailing part of the sunspot group NOAA 1584 (which is spotless). The "white" magnetic region contains the other pseudo CH and all the aforementioned sunspots. The neutral line separating these magnetic areas runs for 100.000's km, but only at the outer ends and near NOAA 1584, filaments can be seen. The hotter chromosphere (SDO/AIA 304) shows more material (brown) along this inversion line, trapped between the opposing magnetic fields.

This movie shows the evolution of the event from 00:00 till 15:00UT, in successively higher temperatures (and thus altitudes). In the "hot chromosphere" (AIA 304; 50.000 degrees), southward movement of material along the inversion line into the H-alpha filament blob near the southern pole can be seen. This happens between midnight and 3 o'clock, so well before the onset of the flare. The flare itself is visible as a diffuse parallel ribbon flare, resulting from coronal material raining down into the much denser chromosphere. The brightest parts are about midway of the inversion line, near NOAA 1584. The filament near NOAA 1582 is very dynamic too, with eruptions around 06:15UT and 07:45UT.

In the transition zone (AIA 171; 650.000 degrees) as well as in the corona (AIA 211; 2 million degrees), the material movement and the parallel ribbon flare are not so well visible. Only the ribbon bordering to the east side of the small pseudo CH can be more or less distinguished. However, two other features are claiming all attention. The first is a bright coronal loop emanating from the leading part of NOAA 1584, and crossing the magnetic inversion line. This one has not even completely disappeared, or another dynamic bundle of coronal loops springs from the *trailing* (spotless) part of NOAA 1584 towards a region between NOAA 1582's big spot and the dynamic filament. These 2 loop bundles appear well after the maximum in x-ray intensity (resp. between 07:00 and 10:30UT, and between 10:00 and 13:30UT).

The AIA 221 clip also shows how a series of fine coronal loops gradually obscure the small pseudo CH (starting around 10:30UT). Indeed, at the end of the clip, the feature has almost completely gone from view! The AIA 221 clip also provides a crisp view on the H-alpha filament blob near the Sun’s southern pole. It is visible as a fine-ragged web of tiny, dark (cold) filament strands.

One more amazing thing about this long duration event: The (Earth-directed) coronal mass ejection associated with the flare was visible *before* the x-ray enhancement actually started! As can be seen in the STEREO-A movie, the ejected plasma cloud is already showing up in the coronagraph at around 02:30UT, more than 45 minutes before the onset of the flare. The speed was measured to be 550 km/s, indicating that the magnetic reconnection, which is at the base of all these events, took place shortly after midnight.

Repartition Mac Startup Drive

Boot drive or Startup disk of your Mac is the volume, in which the Mac operating system has been installed. Usually the startup disk of your Mac OS X is Macintosh HD. This boot drive stores all the operating system files and is responsible for booting the machine. Moreover, this is the default location, where all third party software applications get installed.

Mac users always want to use the best and the most recent technology. This is the thought with which many users prefer to use the new versions of Mac operating systems along with their older one. A Mac machine that is installed with two or more operating systems is called as a dual boot machine, in which you can boot from any of the installed Mac operating systems as per your requirement. If you have a dual boot Mac, you must be aware of the below steps to boot using any of the installed operating systems.

Steps to Choose between OS in a multi-boot Mac

At Start-up

While starting up your Mac machine, hold down the ‘Option’ key and you will see all the operating system based partitions. Choose the one you want and that will boot-up.

Switch From One OS to Other

If you are already logged in, go to the ‘System Preferences’ and select the startup disk.

There are instances, when you run out of disk space and on the contrary the boot volume of your Mac still has enough unused space. In such a situation, you may want to trim the unused space from the boot volume, which can be added to any other needy data volume.

However, as the Mac has started-up from the boot volume, various system files in the volume remain in use until the machine gets shut down. Resizing of a volume may involve some sort of shifting of files and in case of resizing the boot volume; it may be needed to shift the system files, which are currently in use by the OS. Hence, such an operation may result in the corruption of the Mac hard drive, resulting in the inaccessibility of all your precious data. Indeed, this is the reason for which the Mac OS does not allow resizing the boot volume while booting from the same.

Here, you can resize your boot volume only if you boot the Mac from a Bootable MEDIA rather than the boot volume of your machine. Stellar Partition Manager provides an option to create a Bootable DMG that can help booting up your Mac. This Bootable DMG contains only the necessary system files needed to boot your Mac and allows resizing the boot volume of your Mac as like any other Mac volume.

Patrick Industries (PATK) to Report Q4 Earnings: What’s Up?

Patrick Industries, Inc. PATK is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2018 results on Feb 14, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.6%. In fact, the stock has a strong record of earnings surprises, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing seven quarters.

Meanwhile, in the third quarter, the top and bottom lines of this major manufacturer and distributor of building and component products for recreational vehicle (“RV”), marine, manufactured housing (“MH”), and industrial markets grew a solid 41% and 60%, respectively, given growth in marine, MH and industrial markets, acquisitions, geographic and product expansion efforts, along with market share gains.

How are Estimates Faring?

Let’s take a look at the estimate revision trend in order to get a clear picture of what analysts are thinking about the company prior to the earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter to be reported is pegged at 75 cents, trending downward from 85 cents over the past 60 days. Also, this reflects a decline of 13.8% from 87 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. That said, revenues are expected to be $535 million, up 12.5% year over year.

Patrick Industries, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

Patrick Industries, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise | Patrick Industries, Inc. Quote

Factors That Might Influence Upcoming Results

The fourth quarter is expected to benefit from its growth initiatives, in turn likely to drive both strategic and organic revenue growth. The company’s four primary markets (namely RV, marine, MH and industrial) are supported by strong industry fundamentals including favorable demographics, lifestyle and employment growth trends, high consumer confidence rate, credit availability, as well as a healthy housing market, which support its leverageable model based on slow and steady growth.

With strong demand patterns in its core markets outside of RV, Patrick Industries is expected to generate higher organic revenues in the fourth quarter despite reduced expectation of RV shipments in the quarter and adjusting for lower operating days in its fiscal calendar. Meanwhile, the company anticipates mid- to high-single-digit decline in RV shipments in the fourth quarter.

Notably, the fourth quarter had five days less than the corresponding period in 2017. Hence, fourth-quarter revenues will be impacted by approximately $40-$50 million.

Its net sales increased 49% year over year in the first nine months of 2018, supported by revenues from the RV industry, which represented 65% of net sales, increasing 41% from a year ago.

Patrick Industries’ sales from the marine industry (representing 11% sales in the first nine months of 2018) surged 153% from the corresponding period of 2017. Revenues from the MH industry (12% of sales) rose 35%, as wholesale unit shipments in this industry increased about 9% during the period. Again, revenues from the industrial market (12% of sales) increased 58% from the year-ago period.

The company continues to have an extremely strong pipeline of acquisitions, representing all its primary markets. It completed eight acquisitions through the first nine months of 2018, accounting for more than $330 million of annualized revenues.

Encouragingly, Patrick Industries was able to expand its gross margin (up 130 basis points year over year in the first nine months of 2018), via leveraging fixed costs and realizing synergies amid modest input-cost headwinds. The company’s current business model and recent acquisitions have helped it generate robust operating cash flows, which will aid Patrick Industries in supporting its strategic growth plans.

Here is What Our Quantitative Model Predicts:

Our proven model shows that Patrick Industries is unlikely to beat on earnings in the to-be-reported quarter. That is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen.

Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Zacks Rank: Patrick Industries currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Notably, we caution against stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 and 5 (Strong Sell) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Stocks With Favorable Combination

Here are some construction companies that you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat in the upcoming releases:

Toll Brothers, Inc. TOL has an Earnings ESP of +1.91% and a Zacks Rank #2.

Taylor Morrison Home Corporation TMHC has an Earnings ESP of +1.29% and a Zacks Rank #2.

Forterra, Inc. FRTA has an Earnings ESP of +8.99% and a Zacks Rank #2.

Pantry Pests

How to deal with pantry pests

Found evidence in recently purchased food? Discard in an airtight garbage bag, then inspect nearby food. If no more appear within the week, you're done. Otherwise:

Throw out or tightly package everything on your shelves. Use heavy-duty resealable bags, tight canisters, or sealed plastic containers. Clear containers make it easier to see emerging pests.

Remove shelf paper, dishes—everything nearby. Vacuum cracks and corners: insect eggs or pupae and scraps of food could be hidden there. Wash with warm water and detergent. Repainting kills the ones you miss. Before restocking, be sure everything is dry.

Got room in the fridge or freezer? Keep pest-prone food there.

Wipe up crumbs and spills as they happen to stay ahead of the game.

What they look like

Several types of beetles and moths can infest boxed foods—pet foods, cereals, pasta and bread, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, and rodenticide bait. Sawtoothed grain beetle, confused flour beetles, red flour beetles, granary weevil, rice or black weevil, drugstore beetles, cigarette beetles, and Indian meal moths are the most common. Small brown beetles or moths near or in boxes of pasta, raisins, pancake mix, dried milk, sugar, cereal, crackers, pet food, birdseed—all tip you off to trouble.

Where they live

Near food, whether in the pantry or your pet's food. See moths or beetles around the house, but can't find larvae in your rice or cereal? They could be feeding off food a mouse stored in your walls.

What they do

They get to your food before you do. Pet food, birdseed, rice, pasta, flour—all could feed them. They're not much of a health threat but they don't add much flavor either.

73 Replies to “Books”

  1. Darkness Haunts popped up on my kindle as a potential interest and I am so glad it did. I love the characters in the book especially Melena and Lucas. I cannot wait for the novella and next book. This is one of my new favorite series!

  2. This series is probably the best I’ve ever read. Does anyone know any good fiction books to help occupy the time between now and the release of Chained by darkness?
    To the author……I love these books. Thank you.

    • Hello, Hara. I just now caught that your comment went into the spam filter. So sorry I didn’t realize it sooner! Thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you think of the series so far. As for other books to read, I’m not sure what all you’ve already found. Some of my favorites are below:

      -Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost
      -Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews
      -Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning
      -The Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill
      -Blood Destiny Series by Connie Suttle
      -Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs
      -Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward

      Plus I included an excerpt from another of my favorites at the end of Darkness Taunts that is by Debra Dunbar (A Demon Bound). You might see if that sparks your interest as well, if you haven’t already. Hope these suggestions help 🙂

      • For the record, I totally read all of the Imp Series books (the series starts with A Demon Bound for anyone who has no clue what I am talking about) because of your excerpt. Um… it was hilarious. The “heroine” is so funny and non traditional. I didn’t think I would like it when I just read the description, but after the excerpt? I was hooked. Thanks for sharing, would NOT have read it otherwise!

        • Thanks for letting me know, Ashley. The Imp Series is one of those ones I consider a gem just waiting to be found. One of the reasons I asked Debra to let me post the excerpt at the end of my book. The humor is the best part and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a female demon I could actually like until that series!

  3. These are awesome books always looking for something new to read and absolute glad to find this series can’t wait for more .

  4. Darkness Divides was my “happy finishing graduate school” present to myself when my last assignment was completed. It was really hard waiting to read it, but well worth it. Looking forward to the next book!

    • Congratulations on finishing graduate school, Stacia! That’s a big accomplishment and I’m sure you’re excited to be done. Also, happy to hear you enjoyed Darkness Divides after having to wait to read it 🙂

  5. Loved your series, just finished book 4 and am looking forward to the next one. Curious about Nik and the pixie and where that story line is going, but Mel and Lucas are my favorites!

  6. I love your series. Cant wait for next book. Is 3.5 still due out end of this month? Love Mel, if immortal gives you to much flack, just shoot them in the eye,,lol

  7. Susan thank you for the free copy of playing with darkness!! I literally rolled out of bed and read it!!! And I loved it!! Can’t wait till book 4 is released!!!

  8. really have enjoyed this series fixing to read Playing with Darkness and can’t wait until 4 is released

  9. This series is awesome. I enjoy the characters and the story they are telling. I am so glad this popped up in my suggested books it is exactly the type of book I love to read. I simply cannot wait till book 4 and will be hoping it is out sooner then later so I can read it on vacation!

  10. Thank you for creating a whole other world to become addicted too. I love this series and can not wait for the next installment.

  11. LOVE this series!!! Reading 3.5 now and can’t wait for the next one!
    Enthralled by the world you built and the characters! 😀

  12. I love this series!! I just finished reading the last book and can’t wait to read DARKNESS SHATTERS. I just love Melena and Lucas. I can’t wait to see what Melena gets herself into in the new book.

    • Glad you are enjoying the series, Claudia. Melena is going to be a busy woman again in Darkness Shatters. Expect things to get rather crazy. There will also be a couple of POV shifts over to Lucas in this next book, which I will be warning people about in an upcoming blog post 🙂

  13. I patiently waited for the paperbacks as I love the hard copy, but as much as I want to devour them I find myself reading slowly as I am afraid of Melena & Lucas not getting. a HEA,,,, please let it be…., I am of course, loving their world more and more & I think it’s fantastic that Melena is now immortal… Thanks Susan, great writing

    • Thanks for your patience, Annette, and glad you’re enjoying the books! From now on I’m handing over paperback formatting duties to Createspace (who did Darkness Divides and Darkness Clashes). They’re faster than me and can get it done in about a week. You shouldn’t see these long waits anymore.

      As soon as Darkness Shatters is ready I’ll send it right over to them so they can get started. The difference in release dates between ebook and paperback shouldn’t be more than a couple weeks this time 🙂

    • Thanks, Olivera. There’s just two full-length novels left in the series (books 5 & 6), but I will be doing spin-offs with other characters after that so you can still check in on Lucas and Melena.

  14. I’ve just finished darkness shatters go to say I think it may be my favourite book of the sensor series yet! This one really put me through an emotional roller coaster especially the ending! Good grief I don’t think I will stop biting my nails until the next instalment!

  15. Hey,
    Just wanted to stop by and say how much I enjoy the series, I’m hoping that when you say there will be spin offs that you might do something with Kerbasi, I think there is definitely far more to him than we have seen and I would love to see more!
    Thanks for keeping me enthralled 🙂

    • Hey Nikki, you are not the first person to tell me Kerbasi needs his own book in recent weeks. Though I enjoy writing his character I never imagine so many people would grow fond of him! There’s nothing specific planned at this time, but there are some ideas I’m allowing to swirl in my head at the moment. The first spin-off absolutely has to be Cori’s because of plans I have for her. Micah is supposed to be the next one, but I’ll have to see if Kerbasi takes precedence or not.

      There is also a possibility of a book seven in the main Sensor Series (with Melena and Lucas) that would come after the spin-offs. The idea for it has been growing on me recently. We’ll see if it happens 🙂

  16. I just came across this series and I couldn’t put it down. I read books 1-5 in a week! I love the characters and all the situations they get into. Can’t wait for the next one!

  17. I love these books. I love how you refer to some military skills. I am a veteran and feel pride in this book because they are wonderful and you are a veteran as well.

  18. The sensor series, is my all time favorite series. I enjoy all the characters so much, it is almost like i know them all.

    Anxiously awaiting Darkness Wanes.

  19. I love the first book of the dragons breath series Stalked By Flames! I downloaded it today and just finished it!! I hope book 2 come out soon!

    • Glad you enjoyed Stalked by Flames, Nicole. I’ve got a novel from my other series I’m releasing in late October, but after it’s out I’ll work on book 2 of Dragon’s Breath next. Dancing with Flames should be out in February of next year. Book 3 will come out after that in the summer.

  20. Susan,

    The Sensor series came up on Audible as something I might like. I love these characters!! I have listened to all of them and I cannot wait for Darkness Wanes. I am so curious to see what happens next.

  21. I’m from Alaska (recently relocated to AZ) and a year ago decided to test drive the first Sensor book – then went on a binge. I could not put them down. LOVED them – especially with the Fairbanks setting. Can’t wait for the next one. I really enjoyed Stalked by Flames as well. I am anxiously awaiting the next in both series.

    I appreciate the earlier posting from 2013 for other series/authors to fill in the time. I plan to check them all out.

    Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

    • Glad you are enjoying both series, Mary. At the moment I’m working hard to get Darkness Wanes finished and looking forward to getting started on the next Dragon’s Breath book after that. Hope you find some good books to check out in the meantime!

  22. Loved the sensor series, was sad to see its end. However thanks to that series I added you to my auto buy list. So thankful I did. When Stalked by Flames was release I was excited. The cover art screamed High Fantasy to me & the premise was interesting. Turned out I was wrong it wasn’t interesting it was epic, right up till the ending. That was cruel S.I. I need book 2 now. Need it baaaaddd Is it out yet? lol

    • I’m glad to hear you enjoyed Stalked by Flames so much, Jeanny. Book two should be even more exciting now that the groundwork for the series is laid, though there are some more surprises to come. Looking forward to sharing “Dancing with Flames” with readers in February 🙂

  23. I really enjoyed both series, but Dragon’s breath is by far the superior of the two series, at least to me, even if it’s not finished yet. The Sensor series, while really well thought out and written, started getting too predictable, but I still read all six book without the extra novella’s in four days.

    But Dragon’s breath that is where my heart went, you transformed our world into something else and I am for one very excited to see what will happen next. The main character and her side-kick are hilarious and Aidan is very interesting. So yeah I can’t wait till I can read the third installment.

    • Thanks for your feedback, Debbie, and that you’ve taken the time to read all my novels! I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying the Dragon’s Breath series and hope I can keep it surprising for you. There are certainly a lot of twists and turns ahead 🙂

  24. I love the books! I read in one of the author’s notes that there is a short story Facing the darkness in A very paranormal holiday, but I can’t find it anywhere? Is it available?

    • Hello, Jennifer. The period for the anthology to be available ended earlier this year. I am revising Facing the Darkness now and will be re-releasing it on its own November 30th. You’ll be able to pick up your copy then!

‘Picking’ a family tradition

Rebekah (left) and Kristin Longacre are on their way to have their blueberries weighed. They have been picking at Hilltop for almost two decades.

Howard and Barbara Osborne purchased 54 acres of land in New Milford

While it was the first time visiting Hilltop Berry Farm for Steffen Jett (right), his girlfriend, Natasha Kickerbocker, has been coming there with family for many years

Township 70 years ago and started planting blueberry bushes in 1952. By 1958, they had finished planting the first of the two large fields that would eventually become Hilltop Farm & Nursery.

Over time, the “U-pick” berry patches have become a destination for maintaining a family tradition of harvesting berries together.

“We’d make it a huge family deal,” said Natasha Knickerbocker of Binghamton, N.Y., recalling many visits to the farm with her mother, grandmother and siblings. “We’d run through the fields while they picked, and we probably ate more than we picked.”

On Saturday, she brought her boyfriend, Steffen Jett, with her for the first time. They were continuing the family tradition, Natasha explained, as she nibbled some berries and related that they are expecting a baby. The rest of the berries that day were earmarked for jam and pancake syrup.

Kristin Longacre of Hallstead said that she’s been picking berries at Hilltop since her daughter Rebekah, now 18, was born. They enjoy the proximity of the farm to their home and like to use the berries on oatmeal and baked into coffee cakes and muffins.

“We’ll eat some now and freeze the rest for later,” noted Kristin, who thought this year’s berries look especially plump.

“They have the yummiest blueberries,” Dipti Poncholy of Clarks Summit agreed. She and her family were tipped off to Hilltop Farm by one of her husband’s work associates about four years ago. On Saturday afternoon, she was picking with her husband, Samir, and adult children Manan and Pari.

It’s also a family tradition, of course, for the Osbornes. The current generation of owners and operators helped to plant the original bushes. Howard’s son, Richard, took over the farm in the early 1970s and is still working. His son, David, is the current manager. And David’s son, Ben, was guiding pickers to the best berry patches on July 27 as the heat subsided and a new influx of patrons arrived.

According to David’s cousin, Tim, whose father, Alan, worked the fields for many years, peak season runs from mid-July to Labor Day weekend. But picking continues into September. “I think we’re going to have a really good year if the weather holds,” Tim remarked. “But one bad hail storm could ruin us.”

Weather is a key factor in the berry business, and the past few years have been tough on the crops. Record rains in 2018 brought on a host of fungi, as well as root rot, which the Osbornes continued to battle into this spring. “It’s like having your feet in water for 48 months,” David suggested. “You’re going to have moldy toes.”

The nursery end of the business is primarily a wholesale crop of blueberry bushes, rhododendrons and mountain laurels – shrubs that excel in acidic mountaintop soils. Richard Osborne sold blueberry bushes to the public in the 1960s. David related that there are still clusters of five bushes on properties throughout Susquehanna County that are a direct result of his father’s salesmanship.

Tim grew up in Montrose and enjoyed working on the farm until his family moved to New Jersey in 1965. His daughter, Chloe, spent a season at Hilltop last year before moving to Alaska. And Tim was excited to be back at the farm and working directly with the guests this summer.

He shuttles pickers to rows brimming with ripe blueberries and will gladly pick them back up if they don’t want to walk back to the building where their bounty is weighed and where beverages and blueberry-based products are sold.

Tim jokes with patrons, knowing that few people can resist eating some berries as they pick, and asks if he should being weighing them, too.

It’s okay to nibble, and the farm’s integrated pest management plan is monitored by the PA Department of Agriculture. According to David, who has long served as the operation’s “chemist,” the use of fertilizer and pesticides is calculated with human consumption in mind.

“Blueberry bushes need sulfur,” he cited as an example, “but you wouldn’t use it close to picking season.” David is happy to address concerns from anyone with allergies or other chemical sensitivities.

Hilltop Berry Farm is located at 2328 Osborne Road in New Milford, with signage starting on Route 848. It is open seven days per week through growing season, from 8 am to 8 pm. Self-picked blueberries cost $2 per pound. For more information, interested readers may call 570-504-6128.

Yogiss-ELECTROLYTE | Electrolyte Examples | Electrolyte

Electrolyte capsules are the most effective way to maintain your hydration levels by exchanging both fluids and electrolytes. O. R. S Hydration Tablets contain a exact blend of salts, nutrients, and glucose to restore electrolyte balance. The glucose aids the absorption of sodium through the walls of the intestine, correcting the electrolyte balance in the blood circulating the body and allows the body to rehydrate by moving water to where it can needed the most.

water balance tablet formula
Salts, minerals and glucose

Increased electrolytes
Electrolytes tablet give you a complete method of replenishing fluids and are far more convenient for sportsmen that are undergoing a lot of physical stress. In case your body is losing drinking water at a rapid rate, then you'll need to drink a lot of water to counter this. The problem is that water stimulates a high urine flow, so your is going to lose water from sweating, and lose it from heading to the toilet tons. The result is that your body is not rehydrated effectively. By taking an electrolyte tablet, you eliminate this problem and you don't have to drink just as much water to rehydrate.

Using electrolyte tablets also avoids Strong Electrolyte Vs Weak Electrolyte | Nursing Diagnosis Electrolyte Imbalance | Is (nh4)2s A Strong Electrolyte | A Weak Electrolyte Exists Predominantly As | Which Substance Is An Electrolyte | Hc2h3o2 Strong Or Weak Electrolyte | Whole Foods Electrolyte Water | Electrolyte Imbalance Definition | Example Of A Weak Electrolyte | Battery Electrolyte Solution | ingesting sports drinks containing high levels of sugar. When a drink contains far more sugar than salt, none are absorbed correctly and causes a build-up of fluid in the intestinal tract not an increase in your hydration levels.

How can you lose Electrolytes?
Because electrolytes are dissolved in body essential fluids, whenever you're losing fluids you're losing electrolytes. The major electrolyte loses, specifically sodium electrolytes, occur when your sweat rate increases:

Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance are both symptoms associated with stomach bugs. Diarrhoea and vomiting lead to large fluid and electrolyte loss, that if left without treatment, can lead to symptoms of severe dehydration and require medical attention. After having a heavy night your electrolyte balance will also need to be corrected.

A lot of men and women tend feel that dehydration can be corrected by ingesting lots of water. While this effective in replacing lost fluids, without replenishing lost electrolytes when you're dried out your body is unable to take in any water you drink. Not only does this prevent rehydration, but by only taking on extra fluids the electrolyte balance becomes further diluted. Typically the sodium, potassium, and chloride ions that contribute What Is The Best Electrolyte Drink to electrolyte balance need to be replaced as well as fluids.

Sportsmen And Electrolyte Tablets
Elite-level athletes are the ones that gain the most from electrolyte tablets. They're constantly putting on their own in situations where themselves temperature is high. This particular causes excessive sweating and a high-risk of lacks. Many top athletes use O. R. S Hydration Tablets to rehydrate on their own on the go, ensuring their body are never in a state of electrolyte disproportion.

Children And Electrolyte Health supplements
Children can benefit from taking electrolytes
Children can also benefit from electrolyte tablets. Typically, children get dehydrated easily. This is because they have boundless energy, and sweat quite a lot are not as aware of staying hydrated as older people are. So, giving children these tablets can be considered a great way to ensure they stay hydrated..

Staying Hydrated In Hot Climates
Hot climate causes loss of electrolytes from sweat
People in hot climates are constantly at risk of dehydration. When you've ever stayed out in the sun, then you will probably have felt tired. Often, this is because the heat has caused to dehydrate.

Sickness And Hydration Drinks

Anyone that's sick will lose a lot of water. It's common for you heat to rise due to a fever. By taking an electrolyte tablet, you can help keep yourself hydrated during your sickness.

They're medically safe, and ideal for one to use.

Drop it. Dissolve it. Drink it. Those are the quick instructions Chicago-based BE Improvements Inc. gives for the use of its quarter-size ZYM electrolyte tablets. The small effervescent drops -- which fizz and dissolve in water like Alka-Seltzer pills -- are made to ease the converting simple

Is Sucrose A Strong Electrolyte

water into a vitamin-fortified, electrolyte-rich sports drink.

CamelBak Elixir
It's hard to go wrong with any of these offerings. Inside use, all are fairly similar. ZYM and CamelBak are stronger-tasting. As noted, ZYM Catapult's caffeine gives a noticeable boost. (CamelBak also offers tablets with caffeinated drinks. )

Overall, I feel a devotee to the category of effervescent electrolyte tablets. The little tabs make getting sodium, potassium, magnesium and other performance boosters into your system as easy as plunking a tablet in water. A new final bonus: The sugar-free tablets do not crud up a water jar or hydration reservoir like sugary supplements can. In comparison to the traditional option of mixing sports powdered in water, ZYM, CamelBak, and nuun all give a superior solution.

Original "Nuun Active" Electrolyte Tablets
Regarding a decade or so, runners and cyclists have enjoyed the benefits of adding Nuun Active electrolyte pills to their water while exercising. Drop one into 16 oz. of drinking water, and you get a pleasantly fizzy, lightly flavored drink that helps rejuvenate electrolytes you sweat out there. People who often experience leg cramps have reported good results from ingesting the stuff. In any case, from the nice alternative to Gatorade, et Base Electrolyte Salt | Strong Weak Non Electrolyte | Electrolyte Balance | Electrolyte Packets Walmart | Electrolyte Panel | Is Glucose An Electrolyte | Icu Electrolyte Replacement | Is C12h22o11 A Strong Electrolyte | Best Electrolyte Supplement | Nuun Electrolyte Enhanced Drink Tabs | al.

In early 2016, Nuun (pronounced "noon") released a new, reformulated version of their Active tablets, but it hasn't gone over well with die-hard fans of the original formula, especially for individuals who dislike plant-based sweeteners such as stevia remove.

Your own mileage may vary of course, but when it comes to the crunch, I'd recommend picking up a box of the old stuff while they still offer it. It comes with four 12-tablet pontoons, with the respective flavors of lemon lime, tri-berry, citrus fruit, and fruit.

ZYM electrolyte tablets
ZYM is one of three similar drop-and-dissolve options for exercisers and outdoors types. Typically the originator of the category, nuun & co. of Seattle, as well as hydration-products behemoth CamelBak Inc., offer essentially the same thing.

The products from all three companies come packaged in small plastic tubes with 10 to 12 tablets inside. Rates range between about $6. 50 (nuun) to $10 (CamelBak). Over the past four years, We have used these products substantially, and each one is good. The distinctions come in the flavors each company offers as well because the amount and type of vitamins, electrolytes, caffeinated drinks or other constitutes added into the fizzing combine.

In 2004, nuun Peg 3350 Electrolyte | Is Albumin An Electrolyte | Types Of Electrolyte | Symptoms Of Electrolyte Deficiency | Homemade Electrolyte Solution | The Electrolyte In An Automotive Lead Acid Battery Is | Is Na2co3 A Strong Electrolyte | Formic Acid Hcooh Is A Weak Electrolyte | Power Pak Electrolyte | Is Propylamine A Strong Electrolyte | & co. changed the category of sports drinks by introducing the original fizzing tablet. It was a little while until sugar out there of the sports-drink formula and created a "fast-acting, optimally-balanced electrolyte hydration drink in a tab, " as the company places it.

All athletes will experience some level of electrolyte loss and lacks. The extent of this loss will depend on the sort of physical activity, but more important the rate of sweat. The particular average football player sweats anywhere between one 3% - 4% of body weight each game, to represent a high loss of electrolytes.

Like how your body triggers a temperature controlling sweat reaction during exercise, travelling in hot humid climates will make you sweat and lead to electrolyte disproportion as your body attempts to cool down. Log cabin dehydration on long haul flights causes electrolyte loss, but not necessarily through sweat. The low dampness of an aircraft pulls moisture and electrolytes from your lungs, eyes, and nose as well as your skin.

Whatever enables you to sweat, electrolyte tablets are necessary for rehydration and keeping optimum fluid balance.

Cycling, diarrhoea and air art cabins have
electrolyte examples
one thing in common; electrolyte disproportion caused by fluid damage. The fact that normal water makes up between 55 - 60% of the human body, and 70 percent of muscle, heart, and brain tissue highlights how important hydration is for normal bodily function. That only takes fluid deficits above 1% of body-weight to become dehydrated, so that as you lose fluids your body is also shedding a combo of salts and minerals that must be changed for rehydration; this where electrolyte tablets come in.

hydration tablet formulation
What are Electrolytes?
With out electrolytes, your body simply would not work. Blended in body fluids, these small electrically charged particles are involved in almost every function throughout the body, and are especially important when it comes to hydration. A combo of sodium, potassium, and calcium supplement ions creates a hydrating electrolyte balance that keeps cellular fluid balance throughout the body by moving water to where its most needed.

Personally i have tried nuun since 2006 on dozens of trips and training days. The company's flavors, from lemon-lime to cola, will be the most refined in the category. Add a nuun tablet to your bike water bottle and in Classify Each Of The Following As A Strong Electrolyte Or Nonelectrolyte. | Adult Electrolyte | Strong Vs Weak Electrolyte | Importance Of Electrolyte | Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Powder | Classify Each Of The Following As A Strong Electrolyte Or Nonelectrolyte | Electrolyte Capsules | Electrolyte Imbalance Nursing | Maintains Water And Electrolyte Balance Of The Blood | What Type Of Compound Is Always An Electrolyte | about two minutes you get a drink that tastes refreshing and light. There is only a hint of flavor, also it does not overpower water's thirst-quenching natural state.

Typically the nuun tabs have 360mg of sodium apiece as well as three other electrolytes, potassium, magnesium and calcium. There is no sugar, no caffeine, and little else in nuun, which takes the most minimalist approach to their product in the fizz-and-drink category.

ZYM sets itself apart from nuun by adding B vitamins and, for its ZYM Catapult product, 100mg of caffeinated drinks. I get a bigger immediate boost from ZYM than nuun. Its taste in either of you're able to send two flavors (berry and lemon-lime), is stronger, too.

CamelBak's Elixir, another sugar-free capsule, costs about $10 for a tube of 12 tablets. This is additional money than the competition, but Elixir is more concentrated and goes a bit further. Each CamleBak tablet works for up to 24 ounces of water. We often use them in a 16-ounce bike normal water bottle, and the flavor is noticeably stronger than nuun or ZYM.

Elixir, like the other companies' options, is straightforward to drink. It comes in orange, lemon-lime, and berry flavors. All are good-tasting and refreshing.

Victoria's Secret's 'Perfect Body' Campaign Underestimates Public Sensitivity
By: Dwayne W. Waite Jr.
Bookmark and Share Subscribe to the Beyond Madison Avenue RSS Feed Share
If anyone knows about Victoria's Secret, they know that the image it puts out is not for everyone. It's been in its advertising, the way they create their products; none of this is new. Well, Victoria's Secret thought the public knew that, so when it released its campaign for its Body collection, we are sure they thought nothing of it.

But as this "woman power" ad blitz continues, VS is getting backlash for its "Perfect Body" campaign.

See the ad below.

When one looks at the ad, the quotation marks indicate that VS is pointing to its Body collection. The brand is saying that your body is perfect in their Body collection.

At least, that's the meaning we derived from it. Then again, we don't search for things to be insulted about.

Dove and JD Williams (which is some other clothier, apparently) issued counter campaigns saying how this is damaging to younger women who may have seen this ad.

JD Williams countered with its "Perfectly Imperfect" campaign, where women of all types can share their thoughts and pictures.

We get the concept. Can every girl fit perfectly into Victoria's Secret clothing? No. But because they can't, should they consider themselves "imperfect"?

Absolutely not.

The messaging is off. Just because one brand deems a certain look perfect, calling any other perspective imperfect is not only insulting to other women, but very unimaginative. There are, we think, many different versions of perfect. And Victoria's Secret's Body Collection is their interpretation.

There is no reason to trounce one perspective. True beauty can be defined in different ways. Brands should use their creative muscle to pioneer their own, rather than jumping to alarm when a brand like VS announces their definition.

Does your community have idle or underused spaces that could be put creatively to public use? Many communities do, and there is relational opportunity in such "wasted" spaces. Atlanta demonstrates what can be done with one such space – the Atlanta BeltLine, including its annual Lantern Parade. "The Atlanta Beltine," says its website, "is the most comprehensive transportation and economic development effort ever undertaken in the City of Atlanta and among the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment programs currently underway in the United States." And it's brimming with community eneregy.

Liz Lapidus Public Relations in Atlanta clued us in to the BeltLine.

Foreign casualty of Ho Chi Minh City accident was Ivy League engineer

By Calvin Godfrey, TN News

Email Print

Otavio Fleury's life tragically ended with the sunrise in Ho Chi Minh City on September 21.
The Brazilian American's 250cc motorcycle lay broken in the street next to his $78 full-face helmet.
A ward policeman identified Fleury by the bike, which he'd custom-painted orange and black-- the colors of the Ivy League University where he earned an engineering degree and played football.
Initial reports about the circumstances of his death left those who knew him with more questions than answers.
“It does not make sense,” wrote Deanna Taschida in an email. “It seems out of character for Otavio. He was such an intelligent, responsible and respectful young man with so much potential.”
An ice deliveryman who claimed to have witnessed the accident said Fleury was making a legal right turn from Dien Bien Phu to Dinh Tien Hoang, but did so at a reckless speed. The deliveryman, who refused to give his name, denied earlier media accounts that suggested Fleury wasn't wearing a shirt or had driven in the wrong direction.
He and several other neighbors gathered to recall the “handsome young foreigner” believed Fleury must have been intoxicated.
Friends say that's highly unlikely.

Friends and colleagues say that the man who died in a predawn motorcycle accident was an ambitious, active young man who liked to drive fast.
Fleury spent the preceding evening at home and left without his wallet. No one knew where he was headed that morning, but a new acquaintance named Nguyen Xuan Anh Trang said they'd made plans to meet him for a bicycle ride at 7am.
“He never showed up,” she said.
On a recent visit to the site of his death, a group of locals said few were awake to see what caused Fleury to clip the motorbike of a 27 year-old Mekong Delta man named Tran Hoang Giao.
Many more gathered around the surreal aftermath.
Fleury's bike had jumped onto a narrow sidewalk and sent him sailing into the wall of a Lotteria, shattering the large white wall tiles. Friends say the impact blew his white t-shirt up around his neck and killed him on impact.
A broken piece of the bike flew off and cut into the foot of an unidentified elderly lottery ticket salesman walking by at the time of the collision.
Giao was taken to the hospital.
Thanh Nien was unable to obtain further information about their condition as of press time.
A source speaking on condition of anonymity said Fleury's initial autopsy report made no mention of drugs or alcohol and cited the trauma of the crash as the cause of his death.
Those who knew him well seem to have accepted that he died from going too fast.
Lust for life, odd sleep schedule
Fleury was born in 1990 in the Brazilian mega-city of Sao Paolo, but grew up in a series of small towns in Illinois speaking Spanish, Portuguese and English.
He won regional and state awards for his academic performance and achievements on his high school football and volleyball teams.
At Princeton University, he continued to play sports, participate in student organizations and study hard.
In 2010, Fleury finished third in the Ivy League as a punter on the football team.
He worked during his summers and won a scholarship in 2011 to travel back to Brazil for a month to do research on a development model for building energy efficient schools.
Friends recalled him as a Renaissance man who also enjoyed playing chess, listening to cello music and plunging into long discussions on obscure and disparate topics.
Fleury's college room mate and team mate Brian Pourciau said Fleury had a boundless energy that manifested in wanderlust and an odd sleep schedule.
“Being born in Brazil and then growing up in the US always made him adventurous,” he wrote in an email. “He wanted to experience as much as possible first hand. Simply reading about it or hearing about it from a friend wasn’t enough. This is what drove him to Vietnam.”
John Evans, an alumnus of both Princeton University and its football team, remembered meeting Fleury after giving an annual speech to graduating players about Asia.
Fleury immediately began peppering him with questions about Vietnam and spent six months pursuing a job.
The Ho Chi Minh City office of Tractus Asia Ltd. said they didn't need him. But Evans decided to create a place for him anyway.
“I told my team if he's half as relentless in pursuing business as he in pursuing this job we should hire him,” Evans said.
Life in Vietnam
Roughly 18 months ago, Fleury arrived in Ho Chi Minh City and went to work in Tractus' office—a narrow house just a few blocks from where he died.
Tall, fit and frequently dressed in formal business attire, Fleury cut an imposing figure in a city where most foreigners are notorious for bumbling about in flip-flops and backpacks.
Many who met him assumed he was far older than his 24 years.
His colleagues said that soon after he arrived, he accompanied them on motorbike trips throughout southern Vietnam, bid generously at charity auctions, took Vietnamese language classes and spoke to his parents every day.
He regularly beat them to the office and worked days that began at 7am and ended at 7pm. Evans recalled getting work-related messages from Fleury as early as 5am and as late as midnight.
His mother Ana, father Tomaz and older brother Ricardo had all come to visit him in Vietnam two weeks before his death.
The family declined to comment for this article.
Stacey Mejivar, a college friend now living in Houston Texas, said Fleury was happy with his life and spoke about exploring more of the world.
He seemed to enjoy nothing more, she said, than driving his motorbike through Ho Chi Minh City.
“If I could think of a way that Otavio would have wanted to go out it would have been on his motorcycle because he loved that thing so much,” she said.
Going home
Evans said Tractus has put everything aside to prepare the necessary arrangements for the repatriation of his body to Oswego, Illinois.
Evans will travel home to attend Fleury's funeral, which has been tentatively scheduled for some time next week.
On Thursday night, roughly 30 people gathered at Vesper's Gourmet Lounge near the Saigon river and lit a bucket full of long white candles next to a picture of Fleury grinning during a barbeque party where he spent all night working the grill.
Some recalled big plans he had in the works—like creating a program to bring local engineers up to speed on the latest low-cost environmental testing tools.
Most of the speakers, however, described a young person trying his best to figure out what life is all about.
At the corner of the room, Kai Childs, a British-Japanese expatriate who moved into Fleury's shared house three weeks before his demise described being astounded by Fleury--just one year his senior.
“He was training for his first half-marathon, taking martial arts classes twice a week,” he said. “He used to listen to books on philosophy while he ran--sometimes at two or three in the morning. I was like: 'who is this guy?’”
Childs said Fleury seemed pensive in his last days and believes he was thinking about what to do with the next phase of his life.
Fleury had taken a spill on a bike three months before his death. When others warned him to be more careful, Childs says he shrugged it off.
“You only live once,” he recalled Fleury saying.

The perfect Autumn/Winter pairing for your peepers.

I know I said I wouldn't share another Autumn/Winter post for a while but...I lied. I can't help it, I just love it and why not share what makes you happy?!
I've been loving this particular shadow combination since pretty much the start of October - when it became acceptable to wear reddish-toned shades - and I love the way it looks on me.
I start with swiping a little of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in Metallic Pomegranate over the lid and take a small amount of it under the lower lash line. 'Metallic Pomegranate' is a plummy sort of colour with glitter running through. It's gorgeous for this time of year.
I then like to layer on MAC's Mythology over top. 'Mythology' is a copper-coloured eyeshadow and the pair look stunning together.
The answer to the perfect Autumn/Winter red-toned eye without the 'Are you ill?' questions.

  1. What a gorgeous shade! You should post a picture of what Metallic Pomegranate and MAC's Mythology look like together! It sounds gorgeous!

    1. thanks! if I can get one where I look semi-decent I may post one! haha! pop back soon! :) xo

  2. Stunning shades i love berry and burgundy shades with gold and bronze! x
    Emma | Emmys Blog

    1. Me too! Metallic Pomegranate swept over the lid and a little of MAC's bronze in the crease is literally THE Autumn/Winter night out eye! xo

I read through all comments and reply as quickly as I can! so make sure to check back! :)

Algebraic Terms - Finding the GCF and the LCM

I tutor math at the college where I teach. Many of those students have been confused on how to find the greatest common factor for a set of algebraic terms. Having an elementary background, I introduce them to a factor tree which, believe it or not, many have never seen.

From my experience, when just a rule is given by an instructor, often times, students get lost in the mathematical process. I have found that utilizing a visual can achieve an understanding of a concept better than just a rule. A Venn Diagram is such a visual and helps students to follow the process and understand the connection and relationship between each step of finding the GCF (greatest common factor) and LCM (least common multiple).

It's important to always begin with the definitions for the words:
factor, greatest common factor and least common multiple. If a student doesn't know the vocabulary, they can't do the work! I continue by explaining and illustrating what a factor tree is (on your left) and how to construct and use a Venn Diagram as a graphic organizer.

Let's suppose we have the algebraic terms of 75xy and 45xyz. I have the students construct factor trees for each of the numbers as illustrated on the left.

Then all the common factors are placed in the intersection of the two circles. In this case, it would be the 5 and the xy.

The students then put the remaining factors and variables in the correct big circle. Five and three would go in the left hand circle and the three 2’s and the z would be placed in the right hand circle.

The intersection is the GCF; so, the GCF for 75xy and 40xyz is 5xy.   To find the LCM, multiply the number(s) in the first big circle by the GCF (numbers in the intersection) times the number (s) in the second big circle.

5 × 3 × GCF × 2 × 2 × 2 × z = 15 × 5xy × 8z = 240. The LCM is 600xyz

This method is applicable and helpful in algebra when students are asked to find the LCM or GCF of a set of algebraic terms such as: 25xy, 40xyz. (LCM = 200xyz; GCF = 5xy) or when they must factor out the GCF from a polynomial such as 6x2y+ 9xy2. Using a Venn Diagram is also an effective and valuable tool when teaching how to reduce fractions.

Finding GCF and LCM

Congratulations to well known heritage activist Twin Mosia for being named as one the '100 Mandelas of the future'. Below is an extract from his 'Mandela100' profile (click here for full details).

Twin Mawela Mosia, who celebrates his 34th birthday one day before Nelson Mandela day, founded the Elandskop Museum in his hometown of Mamafubedu Petrus Steyn. He is in the process of turning an old train station in town, which has been vandalised and neglected, into a national heritage site. Once Transnet grants him the lease, the station will be turned into a museum housing an art gallery, bookshop, cultural village and an arts-and-crafts shop, among other things. The museum is set to open its doors in September 2019. He hopes to create job opportunities for locals and educate people about the history of the region.

Mosia participates in re-enactments of the South African War (1899 to 1902) locally and internationally and is currently planning The Concentration Camps Cycle Tour, which involves visiting the towns where all the British concentration camps were located during the war, and collecting two stones – representing both black and white people who lost their lives – from each campsite to build a monument at the museum for all the men, women and children who suffered during the war.

Mosia has won numerous awards including The Golden Shield Golden National Heritage Award in 2016 awarded by the National Heritage Council (Young Heritage Activist Category), the Simon van der Stel Gold Medal and the title of Reconciliation and Unity Ambassador for the Heritage Association of South Africa.

In his spare time, Mosia gives motivational talks at local schools and guest lectures at universities. He is busy writing a documentary focused on the Basotho Wars.
