The Summer of 1998 Part XIV

I biked over to the Safeway to get some supplies, and on the way, I noticed the town’s water tower was emblazoned with: “Lakeview – 1988 Finalist”. While in the check-out line, I asked the elderly gentleman in front of me, “Say, what’s that ‘1988 Finalist’ stand for that’s painted on the water tower?” He scratched his head and said, “It was some sort of competition for the ‘Best Little Town in America’ award, or something like that. We didn’t win, but we were in the final ten.” “Well, do you remember who won?'”, I asked. He scratched his head again and said, “You know, I just can’t rightly recall.” He was halfway to the exit, when I hollered, “Hey, you forgot your groceries.” Guess I must have discombobulated the old man something awful… and we’re still scratching our heads, wondering who won.

On the way out of town, I stopped at Ray’s Salvage Store and found a vintage 1948 Oregon plate for a sweet six bucks. I was feeling great, having garnered the 46th plate…only Vermont and Rhode Island remained unpossessed. I headed north into the Oregon “outback”, an unforgiving parcel of land in the southeast quadrant of the state, where mankind was an afterthought…as desolate as midway Nevada. Even huge Lake Albert (about the same size as Goose Lake) appeared lifeless…no beaches, no boats, not a sign of anything recreational. Well, it was no wonder, as I discovered later on down the road…it was an alkaline watershed.

All I could think was: “What a waste of nonpotable water.” God works in mysterious ways. It was along these endless stretches of road that I had time to think and wonder how this incredible earth was formed (at times like these, I wished I had studied geology). Mind you, it wasn’t Bryce Canyon or the Royal Gorge. It was simply a vast panorama of earthen formations of little distinction, yet there was an intangible serenity that was so pervasive, Ah yes, the trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast, and you miss all you are traveling for. That’s the ticket.

I found the city park in Burns and maneuvered Ol’ Baleau under the canopy of a giant cottonwood. What is it about human nature that makes us instinctively seek the security of an arboreal shelter? For me, it’s simply a feeling of protectiveness. There was still enough time before dark to jump on the bike and do a little exploring around the little burg. Sure enough, there was the ubiquitous Safeway just a few blocks away. After I got back, I reposed in my easychair and reflected on just where the heck I was. The way I figured, I was sitting in one of the most isolated towns in the country, with the possible exception of Austin, Nevada. To put it into perspective, in present-day terms, it meant being sequestered at least 150 miles from the nearest Interstate (in olden days, it was the distance to the nearest railway depot). The cottonwood virtually embraced me to sleep.

The next day was one of those “you’ll never believe what kind of day I had” kind of days. It could be a short story by itself. The first order of the day was to replenish Ol’ Baleau’s precious bodily fluids with new oil. I biked over to the highway and stocked up with half a case of 10W-30 Pennzoil. Their Fram filter was priced way too high, so I ventured down the street to the NAPA store, where I purchased an AC Delco for a third of what the other store was asking. At the main intersection of town, there was a building with several antique autos parked in front, along with a sign overhead reading: Tourist Information Center. Well, I certainly couldn’t resist stopping there…some sort of magnetism about the place.

The establishment was actually named Tuning Studio & Gallery, an amalgam of regional art work, framing, art supplies, signs, and antique autos (a 1927 Buick, a 1924 Hudson Brougham, and a 1930 Ford). All that in the middle of Oregon’s outback – unbelievable. Among the art work were a number of watercolors, and here again, I was disheartened at not having brought any of my own aquarelles with me. Nevertheless, I had a most enlightening and enjoyable time with Frank and Myrna Tuning, engaging in enthusiastic shop talk about, what else, art and autos.

It was apparent the Tunings were acutely attuned to what was going on in their state, so I figured the time was ripe to ask a question that had been hounding me ever since I crossed the state line: “Why is it a Oregon state law that prohibits self-service at gas stations? An attendant is required by law to pump the gas, right?” Frank’s reply was simply, “It was a proposition we passed years ago so that there would be more jobs available.” “In the small scheme of things, I guess it makes sense, I said, but then added, “I bet it doesn’t make the oil companies very happy.” “You’re right there, my friend,” he responded, “but we look after our own around here.” I thought that statement somewhat paradoxical, since Oregon was the home of the controversial spotted owl – gas pumpers get jobs while lumber-jacks get zilch. Anyway, my question had been answered.

Remembering I had a six-pack of oil stashed in the basket on the back of the bike, I asked Frank if he had any kind of container in which I could empty my dirty oil. He went back to a store room and came out with a sawed-off plastic pail, perfect for fitting under the oil pan. What a blessing. I thanked Frank, and biked back to my hang-out. Two-thirds of my mission had been accomplished. All that was left was finding some boards to slip under the front wheels to make the oil drain easier.

So, I biked around the neighborhood, finally spotting one of those metal dumpsters in a front yard, full of scrap lumber. I was greeted at the screen door by a male anomaly who resembled the head of the Longshoremen’s Union (something out of “On The Waterfront”). He turned out to be very affable and helpful. Out of his pile of refuse, I was able to extract some 2 X 8 end cuts, just right for what I needed. I thanked him, and pedaled back to my station, with all system’s “go” for an oil change.

After a successful “operation”, I put the bucket of oil in the basket and biked over to the Conoco station where the obliging owner let me dump the oil into a recycling barrel. Frank and Myrna’s place was kitty-corner from the station, so I stopped in for a farewell “good-bye” and added, “Next time I’m through here, I’ll have my watercolors with me.” What a joy that was talking with those two.

The Circle Jerk of Life

As a person who is fond of animals–at one point in my life I even wanted to be a veterinarian–I have, in the past, made the common folly of underestimating them.  People who love animals will frequently assume that all animals do all the live-long day is lie around being all cute– rousing themselves occasionally to perform super-awesome acts of beastliness–like jumping high or running fast or swimming real good.  Humans are great at anthropomorphizing things.  We’ll put a human face/emotions/intentions on ANYTHING!  We’ll turn a choo-choo train into a beloved storybook character.  How much easier is it to do that if the object of our fantasy actually HAS a face and a heartbeat?  It’s understandable to think that animals are nothing but perfect, is all I’m saying.  We see how flawed WE can be and think that simpler life forms are more pure/good.  If you are an animal lover, you might think, for instance, that if you were to fall overboard in the ocean that there is a healthy chance that you would be saved by a friendly pod of dolphins– or that if you were stranded in the woods as an infant you might have been adopted and raised by a wolf pack–or that your pet snake is happy just eating those pre-dead mice you feed it and NOT hankering after your pet chihuahua.  What lovely fantasies we conjure.

Doesn't want to raise you...Only interested in you if you have snacks.

But the truth of the matter is, like everything in the world, animals have the capacity to be dicks.  I’ve known this heart-breaking truth for a while, I suppose.  But I was just reminded of it when I was watching a documentary.  I’m pretty sure it was a David Attenborough one.  Life, I think (which, in The States–for some bizarre reason–was narrated by Oprah Winfrey instead of Attenborough).  It detailed a bunch of killer whales chasing down a humpback whale and its calf.  The killer whales chased them so long and so hard that they eventually wore the mighty humpbacks down and ate the baby whilst the mother could do nothing in defense.  They ate only the tongue of the humpback calf and let the rest of its giant body slump to the sea floor where it would decay–a feast for the sea parasites.

It was sort of terrible to witness.  But the point is–maybe animals are more like people than we thought!  They’re mean when they want to be, heartless, wasteful, and prone to gang violence.

They even play class warfare.  There are caste systems in nature!  Check out these snow monkeys acting like mega-douches…just awful:

Snow Monkeys Are Terrible People!

The thought of animals being immoral with each other doesn’t always have to be bleak and depressing, however.  Sometimes it can be hilarious!  That’s why I’ve chosen a terrific website as today’s great thing:

167. Animals Being Dicks (the website)  Go on…click it!!!!

The website is a collection of ‘gifs’ (compressed video files?  Tech nerds?  A little help?) which illustrate real life examples of animals acting like jerks.  Whether you’re in the market for a parrot pushing a turtle off a high ledge, a dog farting directly in another dog’s face, or a cat using a Roomba as a mobile attack vehicle, this is your one stop shop for animals being complete jagoffs.

What a great idea for a web page.  You just know there’s a treasure trove of these clips out there.  I check in just about every day and there’s always a new entry up if not two…I’m just surprised nobody thought of it sooner.  Animals have been dicks forever!

Check out these historic examples:

Shithead the dog...falsely announced fires.

A llama spit on me once. For real. What a d-bag. I wasn't even DOING anything.

OK...this guy actually might have it coming.

It just takes a leader…someone to organize this stuff for us really, doesn’t it.  So, thanks go out, in this case to one John Williams.  Here is his home page.  Thanks for doing this, John!  Your country needed you and you stepped up to the plate.

Meanwhile, perhaps this should serve as a reminder to all of humanity that we are not alone in this world.  We are all connected with our fellow living creatures and even the elements.  For there is nothing under the sun that is NOT a dick.  Whether it be:

The Wind!:  I really do hate the wind sometimes.  Unless you’re flying a kite or need an airborne seed swept away somewhere, what is it good for?  It’s all in your face…making it harder to walk…blowing crap into your eyeballs and totally destroying that meticulous hairstyle you were trying to work.

The Sea: Hey, I built this city for yo--oh crap. Thanks a lot, Poseidon!

The Sea!:  The ocean has swallowed so many of our fine towns and eaten so many of our boats and sailors.  Yet that is never enough.  It continues to erode our shores and thanks to global warming we will probably all be under it one day soon.  I better learn how to use a fork as a comb, ala Little Mermaid.

And Beyond!: Look at this...even intelligent life from the outer stretches of the universe disappoints. Yeah, thanks for the wang graffiti. Buncha interstellar jerkoffs.

And Beyond!:  You think you can escape earth’s gravitational pull (gravity is also a jerk) and find some utopia where there are no bellends?  You are wrong.  Real aliens don’t want to come down here and make our old people happy like the ones in Cocoon.  No, they just want to do flybys and draw penises in our lawn.

It’s one of the great truths in this world.  Everyone/thing is a dick.  Or…at least has the capacity to BE a dick.  It’s learning the coping mechanisms that helps you get by in this life–schadenfreude is a great coping mechanism as proves…  And hat ownership…that helps too…when the wind blows…

  1. I snorted out loud while laughing as I watched the animals being dicks gifs. That was too funny. Excellent website find. KUDOS!
    I could clarify the thing about GIFs, but I don’t think anyone really cares.

    • katemc39

      I’m loving it! I think my favorite has to be the slow drag of the dog yanking that girl off the barstool by the hair. She does such a weird impact-less groove off her chair and onto the floor…

Thinking About Death

I think more about death now than I used to.

Not in a morbid way. More in a to do list kind of way.

I want to keep my junk drawers clean in case I die suddenly. And my closet. I want to be sure we don't have a bunch of unused stuff around the house. I mean, it was hard dealing with personal items at my dad's house and my in-laws' house. Cleaning out closets and junk drawers. Seeing all the little things they'd kept for no apparent reason. I don't want my kids to have to deal with so much stuff. So I've been cleaning out closets and junk drawers this past couple of years.

Our garage and workshop have only a few items we rarely use: camping equipment, extra bike wheels, etc. I try to keep it clean and the clutter to s minimum.

I think about my father-in-law's workbench. How neat it was. And the miscellaneous items left laying around. Left as if he'd just stepped away to grab lunch. But he never came back to finish.

I try to keep all the tools put away. And I try to finish a project rather than leave it undone. I don't want my kids to wonder what I was doing with the pliers and superglue left on the workbench. And I've gotten rid of much of the extra gardening tools, outdoor games, etc. that we don't use. To make it easier on my kids when they have to clean out our garage.

We have a gazillion books! I've been going through the bookshelves and taking books no one reads to the thrift store. Books that we love I'm keeping, even children's books. For the grandkids. But the books we bought for homeschooling which my kids didn't like? Those are going away. I don't want my kids to have to haul off boxes of books no one wants. And they don't sell for hardly anything at estate sales. So I'm giving those books away.

I've started on the kitchen cabinets. This is hard for me. China from my mom's house and from my grandmother. Blue bowls from Rita's. I know they won't mean much to my kids and we rarely use them, but I love them. So I'm keeping them. But I did get rid of the broken food processor and cheap fondu set we never actually used. As for all of our Starbucks mugs, well, Ron said the kids can fight over those.

But clothes and junk are not the hardest things to deal with when someone dies.

I think about the fact that I handle all the finances in our home. I'm a CPA. I'm home during most days. Ron works a demanding job. He travels and works odd hours. I can call on things like medical bills from an ambulance ride down the mountain. I know how much each bill usually is, and I recognize when a bill is out of line. I know when each bill is due. And I balance the checkbook. Would Ron be able to figure it all out without me?

I think about what would happen to this blog if I died suddenly. Would Ron or one of my kids post something or would the blog simply go silent? When I read about my blogger friend Linda having surgery next week, I wonder if her husband will let us know how she is. Of course he won't; she'll post a day or two after the surgery to let us all know she's healing.

But how can I learn what happened to other bloggers who just stopped writing? Are they okay? Or are they gone, like my son? No more Facebook posts. No more Pinterest pins. No more funny memes. What would happen to my social media accounts if I'm not here anymore?

What about my various email accounts? The gmail I use for business items like utilities and my website. The yahoo I use on sites that might send me too many advertisements after I order that gift for a friend or that cute shirt I wanted. The email account that came with our internet provider. The one I use for couponing. The one I actually look at and answer emails from. What if someone didn't know I was gone and sent an email? Would Ron know where to look? Would he answer them?

What about our car and life insurance? Would Ron know who to call to collect the insurance if something happened to me?

And maintenance on the cars, my tractor, various appliances. Does he know the last time I had the tractor engine worked on? Or who to call to help get the property mowed? He doesn't deal with repairs, so he wouldn't know who to have fix the dishwasher or water heater.

And so I've been working on a notebook.

I've begun to print off one quarterly statement for each of our various accounts: checking, savings, investments, flexible spending, retirement. Even though I manage our finances on-line, I can print one statement so he'll know who the account is with and the account number. I write the password and login for each on a sticky note.

I've printed off one month of each utility bill with the info he might need written on it. Cell phone, cable, water, etc. Some of these send paper bills; others send e-bills. I've noted on each whether to expect a statement in the mail or e-bill. I mark if the e-bill is paid automatically.

I've printed a list of various social media accounts I maintain with the passwords.

I've got a page with other information like who installed the sprinkler system and who helps me when a tree needs to be removed.

I'm planning to take pictures of items that are valuable or sentimental. Like art pieces from my mom or jewelry. I'll write about where they came from and why I care about them.

Some items will be designated to go to a specific person. Like the nativity set that had Yoda in it. Maggie has asked for it. It has no monetary value, but it matters to her.

I remember helping my stepmom after my dad died. And I remember helping take care of things after my sweet mother-in-law Rita died. Cancelling doctor appointments, turning off her phone, and closing bank accounts. I'm compiling the notebook because I want to make it as easy as I can for those left behind after I'm gone.

And we've been working on getting a new will.

Our children are all adults now, so we don't need to appointment a guardian. We have a more complicated financial situation than we used to, so we had to spell out how some assets would be liquidated. We had to specify how much, if any, went to give each child and grandchild. A copy of the will will be put in the notebook. And we've discussed it's contents with each of our children to avoid surprises.

We've also spoken with our financial advisor. Our retirement accounts and life insurance are handled by their office. They know who our lawyer is. They will be able to help our kids if necessary.

I sleep better knowing that I've done what I can to make things easier in the event that I die.

I know that when my body dies, I will immediately be in the presence of Christ. I will be Home.

I also know that dealing with your parent's death is hard. And emotional.

I want to help my children by taking care of what I can. It's one last act of love from their momma.

  2. I often read your blog, Kandie (sorry folks, I’m family), but rarely tell you how much I enjoy it. Your words are often a comfort to me and also a challenge. Keep up the good work.

    • I’m glad you are my family!

      I often think of how amazing you and Nancy are and what blessings you are to me. Caring for Rita with you two was one of the most powerful experiences of my life.

  3. When my only child died 7 yrs ago, that left me alone. As an only, I had buried both parents and Nick which left me with no immediate family. Personally I donated my body to IU Medical Center so when I die I will be whisked away…. However, I was so very blessed that a friend came to my side immediately after Nick’s death and began cleaning, piling up stuff, loading up truck after truck of ‘stuff’ I had no use for. My part was to sit mummified (in shock) at my computer and point to or answer ‘which pile?’ When the dust settled I was so blessed NOT to go through anything. That might sound cruel but I felt no compunction of sentimentality toward old wedding photographs, family pics, etc. First of all there was no one to share the “do you remember when…?” and second of all I knew someone was gonna have a mess when I was gone if the Lord had/has not returned before I die, and all is gonna burn so our worldly ‘treasures’ are worthless. I do treasure so seeing the beauty of God’s design around me cause that’s something my son and I shared. I still am blessed with lots of ‘dust catchers’ and ‘stuff’ given to me as gifts… so my home is full and running over but God is so good. He’s my best friend, my Daddy, physician, the air that I breathe. I’m at total peace now. AND totally trusting God that none of my precious friends will have to deal with my ‘stuff’ – we’ll all be going home together!!!!

  4. Kathleen, I haven’t experienced the loss of a child, but because of the work I do, I have become very aware of the things you mention here. I had a client who was faced with the overwhelming task of clearing out her parents’ house. Hoarders, they had kept an incredible amount of “stuff” they never used. Because they had the habit of sticking money, checks, stock returns and so forth between the pages of whatever book they were reading, my client had to go through every single thing. It took her over two years. She was angry, depressed, grieving, and exhausted.

    I vowed that I would never do that to my kids. Working on it!

    • I’m sorry she had to deal with that!

      My sweet mother-in-law knew she had limited time so cleaned out lots of things and gave much of it away. She only kept her favorites around her. It was a huge blessing to us after she was gone.

Life, Motivation, Your Best Life

Life Begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone

Are you complacent? Are you living in a comfort zone where you aren’t stretching yourself to be the best that you can be?

Too often we get in a rut and accept where we are as where we need to be. But by doing that we don’t grow and we don’t push ourselves. Being comfortable is easy. To stretch forces us to grow, learn and be more than we are.

I really try to push my comfort boundaries. To try new things. Perhaps it’s just a new way of doing something familiar. Or perhaps it’s trying something totally unfamiliar. Whatever it is that I do, I usually am much better off for having tried it.

The first step of any new endeavor is tough. We might fail. We might make fools of ourselves. Or we might just succeed. And how great would that feel?

Get out of your comfort zone and reach for something new and exciting.

About Us

Kazakh Service Center started operating in Canada in 2009 to cater for the needs of large Kazakhstan diaspora and business community in fast and efficient Kazakhstan consular and visa services. Originally, it had several office locations in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary but in 2012 all operations were centralized in downtown Ottawa office for better customer service (but with home offices for its widespread agent network in other Canadian and U.S. cities). In 2013, it expanded its operations to the USA.

Rather than opening several office locations in the US, Kazakh Service Center adopted the lessons learnt from Canada and opened its single office location in Washington, DC (but still relying on home offices of its U.S. agents in other U.S. cities - e.g., New York City).

Topics Map > Software Guides > Premiere

Premiere: Basic Video Editing

Version: Adobe Premiere Pro 2020. Be aware that different versions of Premiere will vary in appearance and functionality. Full Guide: View/Download

Once assets have been reviewed, organized, and added to a sequence, editing can begin. The first step is to put all the assets in the right order. Then, trim them down to the desired length. Many different kinds of cuts, edits, and tools that can be used to trim assets to the appropriate length.

Toolbar Tools

Selection Tool

The simplest, most basic way to edit is with the Selection tool. Use the Selection tool to shorten or lengthen the end points of clips and to move them around in the Timeline. Be careful not to overwrite other clips when using the Selection tool, and be aware that the Selection tool will leave gaps between clips in the Timeline.

To trim a clip with the Selection tool, click-and-drag the start- or end-points to shorten or lengthen it.

Razor Tool & Clip Splitting

Use the Razor tool to split a whole clip into smaller portions. Splitting clips allows for chunks of a clip to be moved and edited separately from others.

To split a clip with the Razor tool, find a desired spot on a clip in the Timeline and click it. This will split the clip and created two separate pieces. Clips can be split multiple times, so repeat as desired. The split clips can now be moved independently of each other with the Selection tool.

Ripple Edit Tool

Using the Selection tool to move clips can leave gaps or cause clips to overwrite each other. When the Ripple Edit tool is used to lengthen or shorten the end of a video clip, any clips to the right in the Timeline will be pushed along without causing any overwriting. For example, if you realize you need to edit a few seconds out from the start of your project, use the Ripple Edit tool to cut that time out; all subsequent clips will adjust automatically to cover those lost seconds. In the bottom-right of the Ripple Edit image, notice that the adjacent clip has been pushed down the Timeline.

To shorten/extend a clip with the Ripple Edit tool, click-and-drag an end point. Upon release, the clip will be shortened/extended and the subsequent clips will shift left or right in the Timeline.

Rolling Edit Tool

A Roll Edit lengthens one clip while simultaneously shortening the clip immediately adjacent to it. This will cut the adjacent clip and prevent the overall project from gaining or losing time. In the bottom image to the right, notice the adjacent clip has not shifted in the Timeline.

To shorten/extend a clip with the Roll Edit tool, click-and-drag an end point. Upon release, the clip will be shortened/lengthened and the adjacent clip will be trimmed.

Slip Tool & Clip Timing

If the length of a clip is correct, but the portion of the clip that’s visible isn’t quite right, use the Slip tool to change the part of the clip that’s shown without changing its length.

To change the timing of a clip with the Slip tool, click-and-drag left or right on the clip. The endpoint time signature in the bottom-left corner of the Program Window will change depending on how far the clip is moved.

Editing Techniques

The following techniques aren’t based on a tool.

Swap Clips
To swap the positioning of clips in the Timeline, click-and-drag a clip while holding Command and move it to the new desired location.

Insert/Overwrite Clips
To insert a clip between two others in the Timeline without overwriting, hold Command+Option (Mac) or CTRL+Alt (Windows) and then click-and-drag a clip between others in the Timeline.

To insert a clip from the Source Window with the Insert button:
  1. Double-click a clip from the Project Window to open it in the Source Window. Set in- and out-points, if only a portion of the clip is desired.
  2. Move the Timeline playhead in between the two clips.
  3. Click the area to the far left of the desired track in the Timeline to select the track for patching. Hover over this area to see “Source patching for inserts and overwrites.”

  4. From the Source Window, click the Insert button. The new clip will be placed in between the two existing clips.

To overwrite a clip, follow the steps above but click the Overwrite button instead.

Replace Clip Edit
A Replace Edit will cut a new clip to be the exact same length as the clip being replaced in the Timeline and drop it in the same location. Use a Replace Edit when well-timed edits have already been made, but a different piece of footage is desired instead.

To replace a clip in the Timeline, click-and-drag the new clip from the Project Window while holding the Alt/Option key and place it on top of the old clip in the Timeline. A green circle with a plus sign will appear when the replacement is ready.

JSC NC "KazMunayGas" Board Chairman's Messages

Achieving 365 Perfect Safety Days – 100% HSE

For years, HSE was seen as a regulatory obligation to meet government requirements.  It was governed by, and managed in reaction to, rules and regulations.  Control and discipline were prevalent.  An incident-free workplace was generally not considered possible, and when it was considered, it was only a vision, at best.

Over time, our safety culture began to change as operational processes and complexity became better understood and a commitment to safety became more personal and individual.   We have experienced a further evolution whereby a stronger focus on cooperation within and among team members began to see themselves as Safety Leaders.  HSE became recognized as “the right thing to do” for two very important reasons (1) It is part of our moral and ethical responsibility to our employees, contractors and the communities, and (2)  It is good for our business as there is no downside to good HSE practices.  Conversely, the cost of poor HSE practices can be devastating to our business.

A Perfect Safety Day is when all KMG employees go home safe to their families at the end of the day: no work-related injuries or illnesses, no accidents and no damage to the environment.  In 2014, the year we started tracking this number, we recorded 90 Perfect Safety Days.  The number increased to 96 the following year, then soared 30% to 125 in 2017.  Already this year, we are achieving them at a pace that will put us near 200 by year end.  While this is remarkable, we have more room for improvement.  The closer we get to 365 perfect safety days each subsequent day will become progressively more difficult to achieve.

For this reason, we are launching our 100% HSE campaign.  In the past, we have set zero incidents as a vision and a goal.  Now, we are setting zero incidents, accidents and spills as an expectation.  This means there are no exceptions for shortcuts, rule breaking or compromise.

We are serious about 100% HSE as a core value!  It is not a slogan!  We expect and empower our employees and contractors to speak up, intervene and ensure compliance when they see less than 100% HSE.

Safety Message of the Chairman of the Board

2018 is nearly over, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank each of you for your dedication, hard work at KazMunaiGas, and also for your commitment to safety ensuring. As the Deputy Chairman of the Board of "Sovereign Wealth Fund "Samruk-Kazyna" JSC, I personally observed what prominent results KazMunaiGas achieved in safety in 2018 For the first time ever in the history of the Company, it was possible to achieve the ZERO fatalities at work over a period of 12 months. The number of loss time incidents (for more than one day as a result of work-related injury) has decreased by 35% if compared with 2017 All this demonstrates increase and enhancement of the safety culture in the Company year by year. And I want to thank you all for this.

Unfortunately, however, 2018 is not a year without incidents and accidents - work related incidents still occur. We want each and every employee of the Company and the contractors to always return home from work safe and well! We will continuously work on our goal - to acheve 100% safety. With no exceptions!

Our hard work in health and safety of our employees, contractors and the public is a key factor of the long-term and successful business of NC "KazMunayGas" JSC. We will diligently promote safety culture by attracting, developing, and preserving human resources that share our core values and our commitment to integrity and high operational standards.

The company has a number of safety rules, procedures and standards developed and implemented. Great work has been done, but this is not enough. We must keep our commitment to achieve the culture where the value of safety is introduced at all levels of our team, and is also an integral part of the behavioral culture of everyone who works at KMG facilities. This value must remain unchanged even when you leave the workplace, it must become a part of your personal life forever. Because a safety culture is a set of unwritten rules and standards that establish the way of thinking, attitude and behavior.

Safety commitment starts with management. But the management alone will not be able to ensure the culture to be introduced everywhere.

I expect that each of you, if sees unsafe conditions or action, will talk openly on it, and those whom you address will listen to you, be it a worker who performs a task, or your supervisor, to provide you with proper equipment and training for safe work. This commitment applies to every employee of KMG, including me.

Our goal is to create a culture in which all our employees would feel themselves personally responsible for safety, where not only requirements are followed, but there is an atmosphere where everyone is committed to improve safety.

Establishing a safety culture is a way that does not have a final stop. We should never stop where we are. The reality is that constant progress along this way trains self-discipline and makes us constantly concern on safety, do everything we can to improve it. Let's be the best company in Kazakhstan and in the oil and gas industry. And also aim to further and continuous improvement of safety indicators!

Once again I want to thank you for your dedication, contribution to improving safety performance indicators and increasing the efficiency of NC "Kazmunaygas" JSC activities, and also wish you and your families a safe, healthy and successful New Year of 2019.

Garth Brooks played just 13 shows in only 10 cities in 2019, but the country star made them count. Brooks is country music's top touring artist for the year, per Pollstar.

The trade publication tracks concert data — ticket sales, number of shows, money made — across all genres and recently published its list of the Top 100 touring artists of 2019. Brooks, the first country artist to make the list, lands at No. 24 in the ranking.

Brooks, with his 2019 Stadium Tour dates, sold 856,000 tickets, which netted him $76.1 million for the year. Those are impressive numbers, but they pale in comparison to those of the year's top overall touring act: pop star Pink, who sold more than 1.8 million tickets and netted $215.2 million in the process. (For what it's worth, she also played 68 shows, more than five times the number of stops Brooks made.)

For those keeping score, in December, Billboard reported Eric Church as country music's top touring artist of 2019. However, a 2016 piece by Pollstar explains, Billboard's data runs November-November, and only includes the information reported to them. Pollstar, meanwhile, looks at the calendar year, and while their information is mostly official, they also create educated estimations for the missing data.

In all, 19 country or country-adjacent acts are among Pollstar's Top 100 touring artists of 2019, including most of Brooks' 2019 CMA Entertainer of the Year competitors. Keep reading to see 'em all.

The family of country singer Tucker Beathard have issued a statement after the singer's brother, Clayton, died following a stabbing at a Nashville bar on Saturday morning (Dec. 21).

22-year-old Clayton Beathard and 21-year-old Paul Trapeni III both died after being stabbed in a fight outside of the Dogwood Bar on Division Street in downtown Nashville early Saturday. Police responded to the scene shortly before 3AM after the two men and one other were stabbed following an argument that started inside the bar and turned into a physical confrontation after it spilled over outside. Beathard and Trapeni both died after being transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The third victim was treated and released.

Beathard's father is famed country songwriter Casey Beathard, and in addition to brother Tucker, who is a rising country singer-songwriter, his other brother is San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback C.J. Beathard. Casey Beathard and his wife, Susan, issued a statement, as reported by Nashville's Tennessean newspaper, praising their son's faith, compassion and strength and thanking everyone for their outpouring of prayers and comfort:

It’s times like this I wish had Instagram and social media because the love and prayers have been so overwhelming. We cannot possibly thank you at the rate they come in texts and phone calls. Clay was an amazing, big and soft hearted human being with an undeniable love for the Lord. He had his family's, friends' and teammates' backs even to a fault. I wish he would have been more inclined to take the high road but he hated 'wrong.'

Yes, he was stubborn sometimes but mostly because his beliefs were strong. He lived a full life except for the chance at being the incredible father I knew he would have been. He loved kids, underdogs and the less fortunate. His little sister was his world and his love and pride for his older brothers was off the charts. He will be missed. That is an understatement. Nobody's light shined like his when he smiled.

That is what we will hold in our hearts because we know he is smiling now. He always worried about all of our welfare, never his own. I say that to say, to those who knew and loved him, please lean into the Lord’s strength, trust in the Lord and carry on. Carry him with you like a chip on your shoulder, like the one he carried. He loved people saying he could do something. That’s where he thrived mostly.

He was never afraid of a challenge so please, all of you, take on the next challenge with faith in God and knowing Clay is smiling down and has your back. I love all of you and I love for the gift he was to us for a little while. I beg that your thoughts and prayers go out to the whoever committed this act but the Trapeni family also. Paul was Clay's teammate and friend at BGA who was also taken in the incident.

C.J. Beathard is returning home to Nashville to be with his family in their loss. The 49ers have issued a statement via Twitter, writing, ""The 49ers family was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the tragedy involving C.J. Beathard's younger brother, Clayton. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to C.J. and the entire Beathard family as they cope with the unthinkable loss of a loved one. C.J. has traveled home to join his family knowing he has the support of our entire organization as they grieve the passing of Clayton."

Nashville police are asking for anyone with information about the man pictured in the surveillance footage below to call Nashville Crime Stoppers at (615) 742-7463. He is wanted for questioning in connection with the stabbings.

Tucker Beathard released his debut single, "Rock On," in 2016. He most recently released "Better Than Me" in 2019.

Clayton Beathard was a high school football star at Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tenn., who went on to play for Long Island University.

President Obama Vacations As Flood Worsens In Baton Rouge

According to a survey, when Americans go on vacation, about 61% of them continue to work. And while this is somewhat true for President Obama, who is vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, it’s not true enough for many people affected by the severe flooding in Louisiana.

After three days of heavy downpour, historic flooding has killed 13, and 30 parishes have been declared as disaster zones.

The U.S. Coast Guard, along with other first responders, have rescued more than 20,000 people over the weekend. More than 70,000 people have registered for federal disaster assistance, and 9,000 have already filed flood insurance claims.

Amid this disaster, President Obama has received heavy criticism for vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, and for failing to cut that vacation short.

Earlier in the week, the President approved John Bel Edward’s request for federal disaster funding, and reportedly is being updated on new developments on Martha’s Vineyard by his officials and aids.

Lousiana’s largest daily newspaper, The Advocate, called the President out on his lack of action last week.

“A disaster this big begs for the personal presence of the President at ground zero,” read the editorial. “In coming here, the President can decisively demonstrate that Louisiana’s recovery is a priority for his administration — and the United States of America.”

The column continued to call on Obama, saying that “The President’s vacation is scheduled to wrap up on Sunday. But he should pack his bags now, and pay a call on communities who need to know that in a national catastrophe, they are not alone. The President’s presence is already late to this crisis, but it’s better later than never.”

How to catch the eye of your audience

How to catch the eye of your audience

There are millions of websites on the internet today, so you’ll need to figure out how to stand out from the crowd.

Obviously, you’ll need to create an aesthetically-pleasing site, taking into account best practices in user experience, or UX. You’ll want it to be intuitive and easy to use, as well as responsive on mobile.

Beyond this, here are tips and ideas for creating a memorable website.

Load fast

It’s 2020. People are in a hurry and nobody’s going to stick around for 7, 8, or 9 seconds. In fact, the ideal website load time is between 2 and 5 seconds.

How fast your site loads is critical and every single second counts. A 1-second delay in loading time has been proven to lead to a 7% loss in conversion and an 11% decline in page views. What’s more, 47% of people expect a maximum loading time of 2 seconds for the average website.

If you find that your website loads too slowly, there are several measures you can take to remedy this, such as optimizing files, compressing images and reducing HTTP requests, among others.

Be straightforward

Here’s some sobering data: 55% of people spend less than 15 seconds on your website. So what does that mean for you?

It means you’ve only got a few seconds to make a lasting impression and tell customers and visitors who you are and what you do.

Businesses must convey what problem they solve for their customers, how they do it, and why people should trust them, as quickly as possible.

Make it easy

Once you’ve gone through all the effort to actually get people to your website, it’s your job to make them stay there.

Hire a professional copywriter and feature interesting content that engages with your audience. Use bullet points, callout boxes and other stylistic elements to break up your articles and make them easy to digest. Use subheadings and a table of contents (where appropriate) and use a large, easy-to-read font.

Use the right multimedia

Use high-quality, original, non-stock photos and images whenever possible. If you must use stock photos, our favorite free sources are Unsplash, Pexels and Pixabay.

If you have the budget, Deposit Photos is reasonably priced, has an extensive portfolio of good photos, and often has deals and special offers.

How To: Use a mandoline slicer

Use a mandoline slicer

If you've ever eaten a thinly sliced vegatable, there's a good chance that it was cut using a mandoline slicer! Learn how to use this utility effectively.

Mandoline slicers are great tools for making evenly thin slices of fruits and vegetables.

Step 1: Place the slicer perpendicularly

Place the slicer perpendicular to you so that you'll have better control over the food.

TIP: Mandoline blades are very sharp. Use a safety guard and take precautions when using and cleaning a mandoline slicer.

Step 2: Cut a potato

Try the mandoline with a potato. Cut it in half to make a flat surface.

Step 3: Attach a potato half

Attach the rounded end of one potato half to the hand pusher.

Step 4: Slide the potato

Slide the flat side of the potato across the blades using even strokes and consistent pressure.

TIP: Adjust the thickness of each cut with the knob or lever on the side of the slicer.

Step 5: Slice the other half

Use the same process for the other half of the potato, using the hand pusher to make even and consistent pressure strokes.

Step 6: Clean the slicer

Clean the slicer immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the parts. Try it next with a variety of vegetables!

Did you know? An early illustrated culinary book, published in 1570, shows a board with a cutting blade to cut vegetables into thin sticks.

If you haven’t already discovered “historic gastronomist” Sarah Lohman‘s blog – Four Pounds Flour -, I highly recommend it. Her post about the origins of  the use of liquid nitrogen in the making of ice cream is great reading for kitchen geeks.

In 1987, a microbiologist in Lexington, KY, got the idea to flash freeze ice cream with liquid nitrogen, a chemical he was familiar with from working in his lab.  This was the start of the “ice cream of the future,” Dippin’ Dots, which is frozen by spraying ice cream mix into cyrogenic freezer. You can see a cool video of how it works here.

One would think using liquid nitrogen to freeze ice cream was a modern discovery.   But 86 years before Dippin’ Dots, British cookbook author Agnes Marshall, known as the Queen of Ice Cream, proposed the use of “liquid air” to freeze ice cream.

“Liquid air will do wonderful things, but as a table adjunct its powers are astonishing, and persons scientifically inclined may perhaps like to amuse and instruct their friends as well as feed them when they invite them to the house. By the aid of liquid oxygen, for example, each guest at a dinner party may make his or her ice cream at the table by simply stirring with a spoon the ingredients of ice cream to which a few drops of liquid air has been added by the servant.” –The Table (August 24, 1901)

I haven’t been able to find the primarily source article, but this quote comes from Mrs Marshall, The Greatest Victorian Ice Cream Maker, With a Facsimile of the Book of Ices, 1885 by Robert Weir.

“Liquid air” would be liquid oxygen, and I’m not sure if that’s what she actually proposed using, or if she was confusing it with liquid nitrogen.  The technology required to manufacture liquid air had been pioneered at this time, and there were presentations being done with it around the world.  Some reports say she demonstrated her ice cream freezing technique at the Royal Institution in London in 1904.

The technique went relatively untouched for the next century.  In the mid 1990s, the use of liquid nitrogen in the kitchen was further developed by Herve This, a chemist and cook who is known as the Father of Molecular Gastronomy.  Liquid nitrogen freezes ice cream almost instantly.  The faster ice cream freezes, the smaller the ice crystals; the smaller the ice crystals, the smoother the ice cream.  Ice cream made in this style was popularized by Ferran Adria and Heston Blumenthal, both considered pioneers of the molecular gastronomy movement.  Today, Top Chef contestants use it every other week.

Say it with me: Black Lives Matter

If you disagree, if you’re putting property over people, leave.

If you think Black people should be polite, consider that they did. Kaepernick took a knee and lost his job. This is what happens when decades of politeness don’t save lives.

I’m boosting Black voices on twitter and donating what I can. I made the shop donations to the Ali Forney Center early. That’s $535 for homeless queer youth in New York City.
