Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week 2017

Crohn’s and Colitis week is happening now:  1st to 7th December 2017, being promoted by wonderful charity Crohn’s & Colitis UK, to raise awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), with a focus on it being a hidden illness or disability.  The charity has done some fantastic work with supermarkets nationally getting signage added or changed to disabled toilets to get the message out that not every disability is visible – so that Ulcerative Colitis sufferers like me, don’t have to worry about being challenged for using disabled toilets when we need to – because we ‘look ok’.

This year the charity has created a app to add your own picture and message to a short christmas video card, so here is mine:

My Anxiety BeYoursELF 2017

general 5PL curve fit

Quantitative analysis of samples using a Five Parameter Logistic Fit (5PL) suitable for asymmetric sigmoidal data.

All samples are first corrected by the mean of the blank group measurements. The standard data points are plotted (concentration vs. corrected measurement) and a Five Parameter Logistic Fit (5PL) is made through these points. The concentrations of the unknown samples are determined from the fit. It is important to note that concentrations can only be determined for samples which fall within the range of the determined upper and lower asymptotes of the fit (the a and d parameters).

MyBodyModel Croquis with Skin Tone Coloring by Prismacolor Markers 2

Coloring Your Croquis: Skin Tones, Part 1 – Markers Edition

If you want to customize your body model templates to look even more like you, coloring your croquis to match your skin tone can make a big difference. But just as every body is different, so are our skin tones! In this blog post, we’ll explore some options using Prismacolor Premier markers.

This post is not sponsored or affiliated with Prismacolor in any way – I’ve just found that they offer excellent quality and even coverage without the high price tag of some of the higher-end art markers out there. Also, I’ve discovered that many artist supply stores allow you to purchase one marker at a time, and allow you to test the markers before you buy. There’s usually scrap paper available so you can test the markers before you buy. This means that you can shop for exactly the right color to match your skin tone – almost like shopping for foundation at a department store makeup counter!

So many marker colors at the local art supply store

Cinnamon Toast, Cocoa Bean, Mocha Light – Just a few delicious-sounding colors available at your local art supply store.

First, I printed my 8-models per page layout to experiment with. Then I went over the outlines with a black pen, and drew them each hair and a dress. It’s completely okay to leave your sketches as simple line drawings – but in this case they look a little bare, don’t you think?

MyBodyModel Croquis with Skin Tone Coloring by Prismacolor Markers Blank

Here are the same croquis, colored in with some different skin tones – Ah, so much better!

I used seven different Prismacolor markers: Light Umber 80% (PB 277), Sienna Brown (PB 65), Dark Brown (PB 88), Goldenrod (PB 69), Brick Beige (PM 78), Ballet Pink (PM 208), and Eggshell (PM 72). If you shop at an artist supply store, you can often find markers with different percentages of color saturation, e.g. for the Light Umber color, I chose 80% rather than 100%.

Blending colors is also an option. The image below shows a sampling of color swatches made with these seven different Prismacolor markers, plus two examples of color combinations using the Prismacolor blender marker.

Here is a closeup of the different color swatches:

I created the”Goldenrod + Eggshell” and “Sienna Brown + Ballet Pink” color combinations by using a Prismacolor Colorless Blender Marker (PM 121). This is a clear marker that’s used like a paintbrush. To combine colors, use a piece of firm and smooth plastic as your paint palette. Color on the plastic with each marker color that you want to blend,  being careful not to overlap colors so that you don’t ruin your markers. Then use the blender marker as a paintbrush to swirl the colors together and absorb the combined color into the marker. Color your drawing a little bit at a time, pickup up more color as needed. When you’re done, make sure to clean your blender marker so that it’s clear again, by scribbling on a piece of scrap paper until there is no color left.

Using Prismacolor blender marker to blend colors to match your skin tone

It can take some experimentation to find the right marker colors to match your skin tone. So far, I’ve enjoyed using the “Brick Beige” Prismacolor PM 78. It would probably be a closer match if I mix it together with “Eggshell” PM 72 but I’m calling it close enough!

Erica Skin Tone Prismacolor Marker Brick Beige

Have you tried coloring in your croquis and finding colors to match your skin tone? I would love to hear what works for you, and what color or color combination you use.   Next week I’ll post Part 2 of this blog series – Colored Pencils edition.

P.s. Adding hair is another great way to personalize your body model templates. If you haven’t already, please be sure to sign up for our email list so you can get your free download of 24 Sample Hairstyle Drawings!

Statues old and new

The Juggler | Image reproduced by kind permission of
The Juggler
Image reproduced by kind permission of

The juggler
The 9 foot sculpture of a juggler on a unicycle outside Hove Town Hall is by Helen Collis who died of cancer in August 1995 at the age of 57. It is a replica of a piece which won her the Sussex Arts Club prize for Visual Arts.

The ‘Dancing Girl’
Before the fire in 1966, there used to be a white marble statue called ‘Dancing Girl’ in the entrance to the first Hove Town Hall.

Although the statue was blackened by smoke in the fire, it escaped undamaged and was bought by Anthony Rea, the writer, and can now be found outside 3 Arundel Crescent.

The statue is a replica of one made for the Empress Josephine in 1805 by the sculptor Canova and was presented to Hove by Sir George Donaldson in 1918.

Standing on her pedestal in the entrance to Hove Town Hall, she witnessed an important meeting between Neville Chamberlain and British and French military leaders soon after the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.

Central Jersey is full of ways we can help one another, and helping others is blooming this spring.

It truly is a caring community.

Here are five ways to lend a hand, donate, volunteer your time or show you care.

Follow Me 5K aims to remember and honor fallen heroes

The Follow Me 5K (FM5K) for the American Legion Post 25 of Milltown will be conducted in the borough on Saturday, May 19. Used to raise funds for veteran and local school programs, the race also honors fallen heroes with a date chosen close to Memorial Day. The directors and creators of the event are Bill Koch, father of Corporal Steven Koch, who died in Afghanistan, and Mina Nusbaum, past president of the American Legion 25 Auxiliary. The driving force of the event is to "Follow Me," a motto of Fort Benning, Georgia where Koch went through basic and paratrooper training before being assigned to the 82nd Airborne of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, then deployed to Afghanistan. Runners and walkers are mustered before the run for a short memorial ceremony officiated by American Legion Post 25. This year, key sponsors are the Saint Peters Healthcare System, Koch Family, IBEW Local 456, Milltown PBA Local 338, Chili's restaurants in East Brunswick and North Brunswick, Applebee's of Milltown, Our Lady Of Lourdes Knights of Columbus, Stop & Shop of East Brunswick and Maria's Pizza and Restaurant of Milltown.

"We are a family of loss," Bill Koch said. "The Koch family, from losing Steven in Afghanistan and his sister Lynne to PTSD of that loss of her youngest brother, know too well how easy those that have paid a price can be forgotten, even by family or friends. So in that knowledge, we must strive to carry on in that "Follow Me" dedication and drive so that no loss is in vain or goes unappreciated."

To sign up for the FM5K event, go to The 5K run is $25 and the 1 mile walk is $20. Registration for both events end on May 17.

"We Shall Over-Run" run/walk in Lebanon Borough will benefit Hunterdon Hospice

The Lebanon Reformed Church will host the 4th Annual "We Shall Over-Run" 5K run and 1 mile walk on Saturday, May 5. All proceeds from the event will benefit Hunterdon Hospice. The race begins at 9 a.m. and the walk will start at 9:15 a.m. Walk in registrations will be open starting at 8 a.m. The race will begin at Brunswick Avenue and Maple Street. Awards will be given to the top three male and female 5K finishers. Timing and race results are by Base Camp 31.

Hunterdon Hospice provides physical, spiritual, psychosocial and bereavement support to those with a life threatening illness and their families. Services focus on quality of life, not length of life. Hospice’s unique approach addresses the needs of the entire family unit in planning care.

Registration and race check-in will be at the Lebanon Reformed Church, 100 Brunswick Ave.. For details on how to donate, call the church at 908-236-6176. Participants can register online at The registration fee is $30 after April 27 and $35 the day of the race. Visit

More Than Me plans fundraiser at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club

More Than Me (MTM), a nonprofit organization that operates a growing network of free public schools and a private tuition-free girls academy in Africa, is hosting "Moonshot" from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on May 22 at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club, 811 Rattlesnake Bridge Road in Bedminster. More than 50,000 children have been impacted by the nonprofit organization's reform education efforts. The goal is to reach 500 schools and 20 percent of Liberian children by 2021.

 MTM began in 2009 as a scholarship program for the most vulnerable girls and young women in the West Point community of Monrovia, Liberia. Over the past five years, it has been committed to evolving to the needs of the students and their community, including the 2013 launch of the private, tuition free, K-4 Academy to serve 184 young women. When Ebola hit West Point in August 2014, everything changed. The organization fought to end the Ebola epidemic in West Point, and then in five other communities in Monrovia. For MLM's work, it was recognized as "Ebola Fighters" and "TIME Persons of the Year."

To register for the Moonshot event, go to

Strolling Thunder debuts May 21 at State House Annex

New Jersey has been selected as one of six states to take part in the Think Babies campaign, supported by national early childhood advocacy group ZERO TO THREE. Among the initial activities in the Think Babies campaign will be New Jersey’s “Strolling Thunder” event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 21 in front of the State House Annex at 125 W. State St. in Trenton. Families and early childhood advocates from across the state to Trenton will remind policymakers that success for children begins at birth.

This event is modeled after ZERO TO THREE’s national Strolling Thunder, which will be conducted earlier in May in Washington D.C. The Think Babies campaign is designed to bring national attention to the many issues that affect what babies and families need to thrive. Key campaign priorities include quality, affordable child care, time for parents to bond with their babies, healthy emotional development and strong physical health and nutrition. In each of the six states selected, a leading children’s advocacy organization has been chosen to direct the Think Babies campaign at the state and local levels. Advocates for Children of NJ (ACNJ) was chosen as New Jersey’s advocacy organization. The first 200 registered families will receive a $50 gift card if they bring a child under the age of 3. One gift card per family.

Go to Follow ACNJ on Twitter @acnjforkids and at For more information on ZERO TO THREE, go to, or follow @zerotothree on Twitter. To register go to or contact Beatriz Alcaraz at or call 973-643-3876.

South Plainfield's Caity Hughes is every coach's dream.

The senior is a three-sport athlete for the Tigers, playing field hockey in the fall, basketball in the winter and softball in the spring. Hughes has been named the player of the year for field hockey twice, and this year she can add the 2017 Home News Tribune All-Area Softball Player of the Year to her resume.

"You’re not finding that kind of kid anymore, not a lot of kids play three sports and excel in all of them, she’s a great student, she’s just outstanding," South Plainfield softball coach Don Panzarella said. "I just think her athletic ability allows her to do these things. She’s very agile, she can do anything. We have a kid who worked hard and is willing to do what you want her to do for the team, and she goes out and does it at 100 percent."

Hughes, who played in the outfield the past three years, moved to shortstop this season after her sister, Meghan, graduated.

"It was interesting, it was fun because I used to play when I was younger. It took a little adjusting obviously, but it was really fun," Caity Hughes said. "I obviously was a little apprehensive for how long I had been playing outfield, but I knew we didn’t have anyone else, and I told coach that I would play if he needed me, and he did, so I did."

Hughes was the lead off hitter for the Tigers this season and finished with 53 hits, 43 runs scored, 25 RBI, six doubles, 11 triples, six home runs, 21 stolen bases, a .505 batting average and a .890 fielding percentage. She also set the school record with 172 hits.

"Her speed alone, she’s a leader, she leads by example, she can get a base hit with her speed, she can hit in the gap, she steals bases, we’re not going to be able to replace her," Panzarella said. "She brings so much to the table, she’s an awesome lead off hitter."

Hughes started playing softball when she was six or seven, and started playing field hockey and basketball through the town's rec leagues as soon as she could. Her sheer athletic ability helped South Plainfield immensely this season, as the Tigers finished with a 27-5 record, won the Greater Middlesex Conference White Division title at 13-1, advanced to the GMC Tournament final, won the NJSIAA North 2 Group III title, the Group III championship and played in the inaugural Tournament of Champions, but fell in the first round to Lodi Immaculate.

"It was completely amazing, I don’t even know how to describe it," Hughes said of winning the Group III title. "We wanted to win the GMC Tournament and as soon as that was over we knew the only thing left was states, and we wanted to win something, so we did the best we could in states. Winning and knowing you were a state champion is an awesome feeling, and it’s indescribable."

In the Group III final against Steinert, South Plainfield rallied for the win in the bottom of the seventh, and Hughes played a big part. She led off the inning, advanced to second on a pick off attempt and took third on a sacrifice bunt. With two outs and two strikes, catcher Camryn Schaeffer hit a walk-off grounder to shortstop that scored Hughes and gave the Tigers a Group III championship.

"I think everyone always has something they bring to the team, every day when I went on the field I gave my best, and that’s what I was taught, to give your hardest and do your best and that’s what I did," Hughes said. "I tried to be a leader for the team and I just helped my team anyway I could."

Hughes is headed to Georgian Court in the fall, where she'll continue her softball career, but she's confident the legacy the seniors will leave behind will continue to fuel South Plainfield in the years to come.

"I think you want to be remembered for the team you had and the athlete you were. We broke a lot of records this year, and I’m proud of that, I hope people look back at our team as one of the best," Hughes said. "Going out onto the field and enjoying every moment is the most important thing, if you’re there and enjoying it, you’re going to do good and be successful, and when you play as a team, that’s how you’re going to see success. We played as a team and we played really well, we just clicked, and it just showed."

Giants’ offense struggles in 23-17 loss to Eagles

PHILADELPHIA, PA – DECEMBER 09: Eli Manning #10 of the New York Giants looks to the scoreboard from a huddle during the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on December 9, 2019 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia defeats New York in overtime 23-17. (Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eli Manning walked over to a waiting group of friends and family outside the Giants locker room, leaned in and gave his wife, Abby, a kiss on the cheek. Abby had vowed years ago after a rough night among the Philly crowd she would never watch a game in the city again.

But an exception had to be made, Manning made his first start for the Giants in three months, and there’s no guarantee he’ll get many more.

“She kind of had to break her rule and come for this one,” Manning said. “I hadn’t played in three months. I don’t know if I’m going to play again.”

Manning has fallen from Super Bowl champ to substitute starter, and a couple of early flashes of success against the Eagles could not be sustained in the second half. The Eagles rallied from a 14-point deficit, and Carson Wentz tossed a 2-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz in overtime to lead them to a 23-17 win on Monday night.

Manning grabbed his helmet and went to midfield to shake hands, whisper and smile with Eagles and Giants before he headed back to locker room with another L on his record — 116-117, oh, but with two Super Bowl championships.

“I didn’t know it, so no thoughts,” Manning said.

The ignominious records have piled up this season for the Giants. The Giants lost their ninth straight game, tying a franchise record set in 1976, when the team opened 0-9.

Manning, who turns 39 next month and will become a free agent after the season, hasn’t thought much about his future. He only got the start because 22-year-old rookie Daniel Jones, who replaced Manning after Week 2, is out with a high ankle sprain. It’s uncertain when Jones will return so it’s possible Manning could finish out the season.

So that leaves the question, when will Manning decide if he returns for next season?

“Probably next year,” he said, smiling.

Manning was 15 of 30 for 203 yards and threw a pair of TD passes to Darius Slayton, but 179 yards came in the first half. He only completed four passes for 24 yards in the second half, and did little to prove coach Pat Shurmur was wrong to bench him.

“I thought he battled. He did a lot of good things,” Shurmur said.

Shurmur also is on the hot seat and may be gone at the end of the season, just like Manning.

With big brother Peyton watching from a suite, Manning fell to 10-23 against the Eagles, including a pair of playoff losses. He started 232 games — all but one in 2017 — after replacing Kurt Warner for the final seven games in 2004. Coming off the bench is a new experience, one that Manning welcomed after he was relegated to the scout team.

“It’s why you practice and play, to go out there and compete on Sundays,” Manning said.

He’ll likely get another chance by default when the Giants return home to play Miami. The Giants play at Washington and finish the season at home against the Eagles.

“I’ve played a lot of football games. I know the offense and I know what I’m supposed to do,” Manning said.

Again, the fading QB just couldn’t do it well enough to help the Giants.

CRESTON, B.C – RCMP warn to not engage in intimate or revealing internet contacts with strangers, after several cases of blackmailing attempts have been reported to the police.

The latest case occurred recently and followed what RCMP call a pattern.
According to Staff Sergeant Ryan Currie with Creston RCMP, men will be approached by a woman online, asking to engage in undressed video calls or to send pictures.
“Once they do that, they get threats that these images will be made public or sent to friends and family”, Currie told
The blackmailer will then ask for money.

Currie says several cases, 3 or 4, have been reported to his detachment in the last year.
However, the number might not actually correspond with how frequent this scam is, as there is a lot of shame attached to it, Currie says.
His advice is to not engage in any contacts of a private nature before establishing who is on the other end and that there is no malicious intent.

RCMP also warn of a gold scam in the Creston Valley, which MyCrestonNow previously has reported on.

Easy Chicken Marsala

This in one of my favorite Italian dishes. I use to think it was so hard to make

because it is so good, until I made it for the first time and realized it is deceiving, it is so easy!

If you don't have Marsala, you can use cooking sherry, which is usually by the vinegars and olive oils at your grocery store. Marsala is a type of wine that is usually at any liquor store, it tastes better, but either will do.

I like to serve this over Whole Wheat Angel Hair Pasta or Spaghetti Squash. Most serve it with Fettuccine, Mashed Potatoes, or rice. I would love to hear any comments or suggestions. Enjoy!

Total Servings: 4 Total Cost: $4.75

4 Chicken Breasts
8oz Package of Mushrooms
3/4 Cup Marsala Wine or Cooking Sherry
1/4 Cup Flour
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/2 tsp Basil
2 Tbsp Butter
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Scallions-optional

  • Pound out chicken breast until they are very thin (I put them between plastic wrap to do this)
  • Slice your mushrooms
  • Mix together on a plate your flour, pepper, and basil
  • In a skillet heat your butter and olive oil on medium heat
  • Dredge your chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off excess
  • Place chicken into skillet, cook approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly brown
  • Add your mushrooms and scallions to the pan, stir to lightly saute them approx 2 minutes
  • Add Marsala wine to the pan
  • Scrape with spatula any sediment on the bottom to get the flour and herbs into the sauce
  • Cover and simmer for 10 minutes on low medium heat
  • To make it a little prettier, you can serve with some fresh diced parsley on top

Corn Syrup – Lethal Dose of Fructose

In my last article, I discussed that sweet hijacker of health and vitality, the artificial sweetener.  I now turn to its partner in crime, high fructose (HF) corn syrup.  This bad actor lurks in soda and other drinks, as well as the majority of snacks and processed foods in the US. In terms of its chemical composition, HF corn syrup is not as nefarious as artificial sweetener.  In fact, it’s not all that different than table sugar.  The problem with corn syrup is that it contains a much higher percentage of fructose than table sugar.

Many businesses in the UK and the EU are reliant on the free flow of personal data between the UK and the rest of the EU. This will be especially true of any who trade or provide services across borders or who use data centres in other parts of the EU. So what will happen if the UK leaves the EU without a deal? Will data continue to flow freely or will it become instantly unlawful to transfer data?

The problem

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal then it is likely that the immediate effect in the majority of cases would be that personal data could not be lawfully transferred from the European Economic Area (EEA) (which is the area covered by EU data protection regulation) to the UK and there would be an instant disruption of data flows. This is because the UK would become a “third country”, i.e. a non-member of the EEA. For personal data to flow freely to a third country from the EEA, the EU Commission needs to have made an “adequacy decision”, which is a unilateral decision that would need to be made following a process which would scrutinise the adequacy of data protection regulation and enforcement in the UK. There is no adequacy decision currently in place (as it is not necessary while the UK remains in the EU) and it would take some time for a decision to be made. There is no guarantee that an adequacy decision would be granted in respect of the UK and, even if one is made in the future, it will be reviewed periodically and can be withdrawn by the EU Commission or overruled in the Court of Justice of the EU.

Conversely, the UK government has indicated that even if there is a no-deal Brexit it intends to recognise the EU’s data protection regime as adequate, which would have the result that transfers of personal data could continue to be made from the UK to the EU.

What can businesses do?

So, what can businesses do to ensure the free flow of personal data that is required in their business from the EU to the UK? Outside of an adequacy decision, personal data can be transferred to third countries where there are applicable standard contractual clauses in place or binding corporate rules.

Standard contractual clauses are sets of clauses that have been approved by the EU which enable transfers between data controllers and data processors or between data controllers and data controllers and can be used with third-party companies. They can therefore be used to facilitate many commercial relationships and many large suppliers will already have these in place within their standard terms. However, the standard contractual clauses are in standard form and cannot be amended, meaning that they are not always appropriate to every situation. They must also be put in place for each controller-controller and controller-processor relationship and must be agreed to by both parties, so for businesses with complex data flows they may be very cumbersome to implement. Nonetheless, they may be the only immediate way post-Brexit to ensure that data can continue to be transferred.

Binding corporate rules are primarily for multinational groups of companies, who must apply to a data protection authority within the EEA to approve the rules, which will facilitate data transfers within the group. Implementing binding corporate rules can be a costly and lengthy process (potentially costing £250,000 and taking several years), so is unlikely to be a viable solution in the short term or for any but the largest companies.

Businesses would be well advised to undertake a review of their current data transfers and consider what cross-border data flows they are currently reliant upon. Business should prepare for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit and consider whether there are any practical steps that can be taken to mitigate the potential impact. Where businesses will need to continue to rely upon transfers of data from the EEA post-Brexit the most pragmatic solution for most businesses will be to implement standard contractual clauses where possible and particularly for key transfers of personal data, in order to ensure that data can continue to flow post-Brexit.

We recently held a GDPR Compliance Seminar covering many areas, specifically, the impact of Brexit and how it will affect GDPR going forward. Businesses who attended were reassured from our expert speakers and left feeling ready for all eventualities.

5 Ways To Protect Your Company Trade Secrets

Keep Trade Secrets Safe Protect Company Intellectual Property Bootstrap Business Frugal Entrepreneur Lean Startup

These days, the kind of theft that many businesses are worried about isn’t armed robbery, shoplifting or even employees stealing office supplies. Instead, it’s the theft of a company’s intellectual property. Perhaps there is no intellectual property more valuable than trade secrets. These are what give a business an edge in a competitive market. Below are five strategies that can be used to keep your trade secrets safe.

1. Accurately Identify Your Trade Secrets

Before you can take action to protect your trade secrets, you must first identify them. For example, if you run an Italian restaurant, your pizza sauce recipe could be a trade secret. However, trade secrets don’t have to be secret formulas. They could also be information you have amassed such as customer lists, supplier information, product profit margins and more.

2. Hire An Intellectual Property Lawyer

Second, you should learn about the laws that were put in place to protect trade secrets. On the federal level, this is the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. State laws also exist as well. In certain instances, the federal government can prosecute individuals who steal trade secrets. Launching a lawsuit is another avenue to pursue if trade secrets are stolen and utilized. These laws can be complex, so hire a lawyer with plenty of experience with intellectual property law, such as one from Carter West

3. Make Your Trade Secrets Classified

Now that you know more about your trade secrets and the law, it’s time to try and lock them down and restrict access. Make them classified information within your organization. Store them in a specific spot like a locked file cabinet or a restricted computer folder in your company network. Make sure only certain trusted personnel have the credentials to access that information.

4. Use Encryption

One surefire way to protect information when stored or transferred through digital mediums is to use encryption. You must use an encryption key to unlock the data. However, if you at some point lose the encryption key and can’t remember the pass code, the information may be lost permanently. Encryption is a great strategy, however, for protecting information backed up by third parties.

5. Train Your Employees to Protect Trade Secrets

In most cases, confidential information is leaked by negligent employees. This is why a strong training program to teach employees how to protect company data and trade secrets is required. If they know what to do to avoid leaks and stop corporate espionage, trade secret theft is much less likely to happen. Overall, you have to take preemptive action to protect your trade secrets. If you don’t, they could end up stolen. If that’s the case, you may lose your advantages over your competitors as well as your market share.

I hope you enjoyed this article on ways to keep your trade secrets safe and protect company property.

Khalid Al Qasimi, a famous fashion designer and son of the Emir of Sharjah, has died aged 39.

It has been reported the Crown Prince and second son of Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi died at his London home in Knightsbridge on Monday (July 1).

Khalid Al Qasimi founded an eponymous fashion brand in 2016 and had shown collections at London and Paris Fashion weeks.

Photographer Mariano Vivanco was among those paying tribute, calling him "my angel".

The Met Police has said they received a report of "a sudden death at a residential property in Knightsbridge".

Officers were called by paramedics to a property in the affluent area at 10.30am.

Although a post-mortem examination was carried out on Tuesday (July 2), it proved inconclusive and now officers await the results of further tests.

Three days of mourning have been announced in the United Arab emirate following the death of the "great philosopher and artist" in the UK.

His father posted on Instagram about the death, saying: "The arrival of the body of the deceased and prayers upon him will be announced."

Brother's tragic death

Khalid Al Qasimi studied architecture and fashion design at Central Saint Martins in London and was the brother of Sheikh Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, who died of a heroin overdose in 1999.

The ruler of the Emirate state of Sharjah found his eldest son dead on the floor of his quarters in the family's £3 million English manor house in Sussex, an inquest heard.

A statement on the Qasimi website said: "Khalid was praised for his tenacious yet sensitive exploration of social-political issues, particularly pertaining to the Middle East and its sometimes strained relationship with the West, a subject very close to his heart and upbringing.

"His goal was to create 'a world of beautifully crafted products infused with cultural, social and political undertones to inform and inspire'.

"The design world has lost a great philosopher and artist."

Events and Assistance

Moonlight Market and Tchouptoberfest are back in New Orleans

There are a couple of events coming up that are of note to those who enjoy food. I know that in New Orleans that’s like saying “there’s a weekend coming up,” but the two events I have in mind are outside of the ordinary.

First, there’s the fourth annual Moonlight Market, which will be held in the warehouse of the Contemporary Arts Center on Saturday, Sept. 30 from 7-10 p.m. The event is put on by Market Umbrella, operator of the Crescent City Farmers Market, and for that reason alone deserves our attention. The Market has, for many years, put local producers in touch with local consumers. It’s one of the best places to buy produce, seafood, poultry and meat in town, which is why you’ll often see local chefs there if you arrive early enough.

But there’s more to it than that; here’s an excerpt from the press release announcing the event:

Proceeds from the fundraiser go to support Market Umbrella’s ongoing programs. In addition to operating the CCFM four days a week, Market Umbrella manages several health and wellness and educational programs helping local residents lead healthier lifestyles, including Meet Me at the Market, an educational outreach program supporting field trips for school-aged children to visit the market where they learn where their food comes from and how to eat healthy and locally; Market Match, which matches SNAP purchases at the market dollar-for-dollar up to $20; and the Market Momma’s Club, the organization’s latest addition, which works with nursing mothers and provides WIC recipients with $80 to purchase fresh produce each month.

Attending this event would be worth it for the cause alone, but here’s another excerpt from the release, which I believe provides further incentive to attend:

Moonlight Market will feature more than 30 bars and restaurants that shop with the Crescent City Farmers Market.  Guests will enjoy food and drinks from restaurants such as Bittersweet Confections, Broussard’s, Clancy’s, Commander’s Palace, Dante’s Kitchen, DTB, Emeril’s, Frencheeze Food Truck, Marjie’s Grill, Maypop, Meauxbar, Patois, Public Service, Sac-a-Lait, Shaya, St. James Cheese Co., and more.

So, yeah. Those are all great restaurants/purveyors, and there are multiple options for tickets. You may also note that one of the purveyors is Shaya, and as I understand it, chef Alon Shaya will be there. Just saying…

Equally of note, Tchouptoberfest will go forward on Sunday, Oct. 1. It’s the most recent event whereby stupid-talented and also ridiculously nice chefs Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski work to raise funds for the not-coincidentally named Link Stryjewski Foundation.

The event will take place at Cochon Restaurant, at the corner of Tchoupitoulas Street and Andrew Higgins Drive on Sunday, Oct. 1 from 4 to 9 p.m.

On tap: German food and wine as well as local brews and a bunch of live bands:

A host of indie bands will be playing throughout the event, including Polish Pete and the Polkas, Rik Slaves’ Country Persuasion, Conor Donohue, Midriff, Motel Radio, and Sexy Dex and the Fresh. Link’s German heritage, Stryjewski’s background with European cured meats and Butcher’s housemade meats, terrines and sausages make Tchouptoberfest a natural fit for a day of beer, brats and rock.

I am biased when it comes to Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski, because they have been nice to me. That bias is irrelevant, however, because they are objectively great cooks and work very hard for the good of the community: “The mission of the Link Stryjewski Foundation is to nourish and educate the youth of New Orleans, empowering them to realize their potential and become active, positive members of our community.”

I know them both chefs well enough to guarantee that this is not something they do to garner positive public relations. It’s important to them, and it’s important to New Orleans, and it should be important to all of us.

You can buy tickets to Tchouptoberfest for $20, thought food and drinks will cost extra. There may also be a few “Bratz passes” left, which cost $100 and get you access to Cochon Butcher for air-conditioned seating, complimentary snacks, beer, wine, and a well-stocked cash bar.

I don’t know about you, but both of these events seem worthy to me, and it sure looks like a hell of a weekend.

Chinese steel export prices rose higher last week, encouraged by the steady increases in domestic long steel prices, with the B500B rebar export price climbing by a large $15/tonne on week to reach $460/t FOB Shanghai port as of November 22, according to Mysteel’s weekly export price tracker.
“Most domestic mills lifted their rebar export prices by $10-20/t recently, resulting in very thin sales in the global market,”said a market insider based in Southeast China. “But the mills are now concentrating on dealing with the more flourishing market at home, rather than chasing overseas business,”he added. As of November

Ask the Mayor - Summer 18

Published on: 07/23/2018) In:
Ask the Mayor Summer 18

Q: What are some of the dangers that are involved with transporting nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain, and how does that affect not only Nevada, but also the whole country?

A: The dangers, first and foremost, have always been of a potential spill or breach of container causing catastrophic accidents that could occur from point of origin to any repository located in any state in the nation, much less to Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada. The most alarming reason for this is that the nation’s infrastructure has aged throughout the decades and have been assessed at a D level by many reputable civil engineering organizations.  Tunnels, bridges, roads, and rail lines are antiquated in every community, and the Department of Energy refuses to advise or alert communities as to when, where, how much waste, or truthfully, what level of waste will be transported throughout each state.  Highways, tunnels, weakened bridges and railways are vulnerable, and the DOE also refuses to disclose upon which routes the radioactive or nuclear waste shipments will take!  Having been deeply involved in this endeavor for seven years (following my husband’s 12 years of efforts), I have seen the maps showing the multitude of alternative routes that the waste could take.  They run through so many states, so many rural areas, towns, communities, and cities, that ‘alarm bells’ should toll loudly for us all.  As a member of the U. S. Conference of Mayors, I have been alerting all mayors that each needs to take a stand against transportation of these waste products, for an accident could happen in their state/community and create potential devastation.  Each of these past years, resolutions have passed telling the Feds, “deactivate, repurpose, recycle and put funding into research so storage and transport are not needed.”  As an aside, and of additional concern, no community has been trained to deal with radioactive or nuclear waste spill or accidents.  Nevada does not stand alone.  This is a nationwide concern, and making jobs, getting money for providing a repository from the Federal government, is pale in comparison to protecting human life.  I might add, to date, no funds have been received (though promised) by acquiescing states for their sites.

Q: How will the expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center impact Las Vegas, which is already the number one trade show and convention destination?

A: Las Vegas is known worldwide as the premiere destination for conventions and meetings, the entertainment capital of the world, and is renowned as the hospitality kingdom. Competition from cities throughout the country to be Number 1 and to gain these titles and reputations is ongoing and intense.  Thus, Las Vegas does more, expands, and seeks cutting-edge improvements to stay at the top and be able to serve the growing demand for bigger and better facilities and accompany top-of-the-line technology.  As LVCVA expands, it will address and stay ahead of the demands and competition, in its continuing first-class efforts.

Q: This issue we feature the 2018 Top 100 Doctors and Dentists. As a growing community, how will the Las Vegas Medical District continue to evolve and provide medical education, economic development with more jobs in the medical field, and better overall health in Southern Nevada?

A: The Las Vegas Medical District is, quite simply, the future of medicine in our community. It is the place where the doctors, specialists, nurses, and technicians of tomorrow are being trained, while at the same time, remains the home of Nevada’s only Level-1 Trauma Unit. The community is ecstatic about the new University of Nevada Las Vegas Medical School, and its buildings that will soon be constructed in the District.  Included will be a new garage, much-needed medical facilities, offices, and housing/apartments to complement the needs that are in the works.  As you could recall in the past, residents seeking healthcare frequently left Las Vegas for other cities around the country, and we now know that we are seeing change as neighboring state residents now come here for highest quality assessment, care, and treatment.

Q: Most doubted Las Vegas, saying, hockey doesn’t belong in the desert, and now The Vegas Golden Knights are perhaps the best expansion team in NHL history. What do you think attributed to the overall success of our first Major League sports team and how do we keep that momentum going when we clinch the Stanley Cup this year and for years to come?

A: In Las Vegas, the only ice we knew was in the martini shakers, and look at us now!  Of course, we are so proud of and love our Vegas Golden Knights! It has been an incredible story that Hollywood could not have written any better. I think it just shows that what we have talked about since Oscar was first elected in 1999– that Las Vegas is ready for major league sports. The Golden Knights have proven that fact with a run that is certainly the greatest sports story of the year, with people from all over the country realizing that you never bet against Las Vegas. This team is Step One and just the beginning.  We have the Aces, WNBA, the Lights (USL) and soon to come, the Raiders.  I guarantee you all that after that, we will have an NBA franchise and, sometime in the near future, an MLS team. It is only a matter of time.

Q: Summer is upon us and it’s hard to beat the heat in the Vegas valley, what are some ways and places you suggest for our locals and visitors alike to keep cool during this hot summer?

A: We love the heat.  Where else but in southern Nevada have even gas stations always been air-conditioned? Beautiful weather without a cloud in the sky every day, so what could be better for outdoor fun? The city boasts such a variety of activities to enjoy: hiking or camping in higher and cooler elevations at Red Rock and Mt. Charleston; swimming in our multitude of municipal or hotel, YMCA pools, each with water play areas and slides for all to enjoy. So many of these sites offer swim lessons where parents offer their children Red Cross swimming skills programs. We also offer water play areas at many of our parks, and those are always a big hit. For everyone and especially our more vulnerable populations of the very young and the elderly, lots of sunscreen, lots of hydration, and just a reminder not to overdo it!!! Whatever is your choice, even staying home and reading a good book, I want to wish everyone a great summer here in the city of Las Vegas!

NAHT comment on school applications and offers data

Commenting on the publication of primary and secondary school applications and offers data today, Paul Whiteman, general secretary of school leaders’ union NAHT, said:

“2018 is a record year for secondary school applications. Since collection of this information started in 2013 we've seen a 16.6% increase. There's a population surge that is now reaching secondary school. The government’s own figures show that there is a desperate need for a national planning strategy to guarantee enough school places for all children.

“The percentage of secondary school applicants receiving their first place has dropped as the number of applications has increased. This year 17.9% of children did not get into their first place school, up from 16.5% in 2017. For too many, there will be huge disappointment. In some parts of the country, it will mean children having to travel long distances to go to secondary school or being separated from their peers.

“And the national average masks huge variations – in London this year the number of children getting their first place preference is very low, just 51.4% in Hammersmith & Fulham, 54.3% in Kensington & 55.2% in Chelsea and Lambeth.

“The other guarantee that parents and families will want is that when they get to school, their children will be taught by a permanent teacher and not a temporary one. NAHT's Leaky Pipeline report into teacher recruitment shows that 81% of teaching vacancies were difficult to fill, with schools failing to recruit in 18% of cases. This means more and more children being taught by supply teachers, or by temporary cover from senior leaders.

"Whilst the secondary pupil population is rising, the number of teachers in secondary schools has fallen by 5%, from 219,000 in 2010 to 208,200 in 2016. This means bigger classes, less individual attention for children and uncertainty about whether all subjects in the curriculum are viable.

"DfE data about new teacher recruits shows that they have missed their targets for five consecutive years. There were 34% fewer applications to teacher training in 2017 than 2016.

“This is an issue which isn’t going away. Until the government gets a grip on where new school places are needed and takes responsibility for recruitment across all areas of the country the annual anxious wait for families will always be a problem.”

Water infrastructure intelligent, wise move for Africa

The water infrastructure intelligent would have effect on water demands  on the continent, reports NaijaAgroNet.

The chief executive officer (CEO) for Siemens Southern and Eastern Africa, Sabine Dall’Omo, gave this insight in South Africa, saying that the rapid urbanisation across the continent is expected to have effect on water demands, just as its estimated that by the year 2030, the world will need 40 per cent more water than its current accessible, reliable supply.

NaijaAgroNet also reported that compounding the issue, according to the UN’s Water for Life Report, is that approximately 300 of the 800 million inhabitants in Sub-Saharan Africa live in a water-scarce environment. While in South Africa’s Western Cape region there is a drought that one meteorologist referred to as a once-in-628-years weather event.

“Water is vital to human existence. We depend on the resource to carry out important economic activities and provide proper sanitation, which are crucial elements to well-being and health.  If neglected there will far reaching implications for government, business and ultimately society,” Dall’Omo.

Awareness about the importance and finite availability of the resource are crucial to widespread behaviour change and necessary to ensure environmental sustainability, and capacity for future generations.  Water education should not be restricted to scientific or factual knowledge but be holistic and include decision makers, water technicians, communities, stakeholders and media to promote systemic change.

When a resource is in such short supply, managing and producing it effectively is essential. Digitalization of the existing infrastructure is just one water wise move for both the public and private sector.

The water industry has been focused on ushering in a new era of water management, with an emphasis on automation, the Internet of Things (IoT) and more sophisticated data management and analysis software that enables the water end user or plant operator to have valuable, actionable information.

This proactive focus is driving digital transformation for both utilities and industrial plants, and enables them to not only detect and react to an issue when it occurs but also predict and prevent issues from occurring.

In South Africa, local municipalities are losing up to 36 per cent of bulk water due to pipe leaks and theft. Smart water management technologies and digital management systems combined with faster response times could dramatically increase water reliability and significantly reduce losses.

Prioritising the use of intelligent, networked systems will conserve energy, avoid water losses and curb resource consumption. By having a 360 degree view of a water system, solutions can be pre-emptively identified.

As we progress further into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, agility and inventiveness will become a pivotal requirement for the new world order. Climate change and global water shortages are a collective concern.  In the latest World Economic Forum Global Risks Report, water crises ranks 20th as one of the risks respondents are most concerned about for doing business in their country in the next 10 years.

To overcome this risk we will need to deploy major innovations. Imagine using 3D virtual technology to see a realistic representation of an existing water plant and overlaying how automation, drives, pumps, instrumentation and electrical components can best be implemented to ensure positive outcomes.

In 2016, Siemens and Bentley Systems, a global leader in software solutions for advancing infrastructure, initiated a strategic alliance agreement to drive new business by accelerating digitalization. Bentley’s advanced knowledge in the field of water infrastructure means that customers are able to simulate processes in water plants allowing for predictive maintenance, resource optimization and energy data management.

Another way in which Siemens is catalysing creativity in the digital economy is through a recently hosted 48 hour hackathon - #DigihackAfrica2018 - which brought together Siemens engineers alongside IoT and digital industry experts from IBM, IoT.Nxt, Atos and Wits University to work on ideas that will have the potential to disrupt the IIoT environment in Africa.

The winning team presented a decentralised intelligent water management system. The fully automated water accounting and leak detection system is made up of intelligently linked instrumentation from Siemens, flow meters and pressure transmitters linked to a GPRS 3G module that sends signals back to an in-house cloud based system. Through a mobile app, water technicians and engineers on the field will have real-time monitoring access to the flow of water in any water infrastructure network on a device. The winning team will travel to Siemens HQ to further develop their idea and receive seed capital towards making their idea commercially viable.

The value of investment in R&D in Africa to find solutions to the water crisis should not be underestimated. Being able to have foresight about future problems and develop solutions, with a uniquely African view and relevance, will provide the continent with a competitive edge.

Ultimately, effective and smart water management will enable governments and utilities to provide a safe and reliable resource to its people. Improved water stewardship pays high economic dividends and technology can help to make this happen. It seems like a smart start and a step in the right direction to find sustainable solutions that work for Africa and in Africa.

LG Stylo 5 with Model Number LG-L722DL Certified by Global Certification Forum (GCF)

In recent times, there have been a series of speculations regarding the upcoming LG Stylo 5. Most recently, this smartphone with model number L722DL got certified by GCF.

This certification does not come with any other details of this phone save for the manufacturer, model name, model number, and marketing name. However, the LG Stylo 5 launch is imminent because there are already a series of cases, tempered glass screen protector, and kickstand cover for this smartphone on Amazon US. In addition, a couple of case renders have already appeared online and it reveals the design of this smartphone. For starters, this smartphone will use a single rear camera with a rear fingerprint sensor. This device will obviously be positioned as an entry-level smartphone or perhaps a mid-range device.

The specs of this smartphone have not been officially verified but there are reports that it will come with either a 6.2 or a 6.4-inch. As revealed by a tempered glass image which surfaced online, this smartphone comes with a notch but this is not verified. It is expected that this smartphone will come with Android 9 Pie OS.LG Stylo5

Under the hood, this phone will use a Qualcomm mid-range chipset. Snapdragon 625 and Snapdragon 632 have so far been speculated and it will be supported by 3 GB/4 GB of RAM and 32 GB/64 GB of internal storage. As for the design, it looks just like the LG Stylo 4 which was released in the summer of 2018 in the US. However, there should definitely be some upgrades from the Stylo 4.

As for the pricing, there is no exact price tag for this device but there are reports that it will be a cost-effective smartphone. Recall that when the Stylo 4 was released, it was one of the most popular and cheap stylus series phone with a full-screen display at that time. Its predecessor is expected to attract more attention.

Don't get alarmed when you see this

Nashville Real Estate Trends - August 2019Don’t get alarmed when you see all of the red on this month’s real estate trends in Nashville.

Real estate is seasonal, and we just finished up the peak activity months in our area.

January is typically our slowest month and it’s usually about 60% of the volume of the peak. So there is plenty of time and activity left if you want to make a move this year.

The fourth month in a row of 4,000+ sales is something to get excited about. It’s been a ceiling on our market for years and we finally busted through one time in 2018. While once, doesn’t make a trend, four months in a row does.

That’s a good sign for the Nashville Real Estate Market regardless of what the rest of the country (and economy) is doing.

On top of that, we have 11,460 homes available to purchase across Middle Tennessee. That’s a little less than 3 months of sales and is a healthy amount to have for both buyers and sellers. While it’s down nearly 5% from last year, I’m happy to see it’s holding steady from the previous month.

Median Prices are looking good too. We are 3.6% higher than we were last year and basically flat over the last month.

Through the end of the year, I would expect median prices and sales volume to slightly decline each month as demand wanes. Normally, I would say the same thing about inventory, but it’s hard to say with all of the builder activity.

And that’s one thing that concerns me.

30.7% of all residential real estate listed in and surrounding Nashville is new construction. And builders are notorious for not putting all of their inventory in the MLS.

Over half of these new homes are in the $300,000 - $500,000 range and a significant amount of the local demand is less than $300,000. This mismatch causes problems for buyers who want affordable housing.

And adds a ton of competition for homeowners in that same price range. It’s hard to compete against new construction when it’s priced close to the same as your home.

So, I’ll continue to keep an eye on this for you.

Andrew Terrell, Greater Nashville REALTORS® president said, ”We continue to see healthy growth in home sales across the region. This ongoing growth is indicative of super-low mortgage rates and the historic economic growth in Middle Tennessee.”

If you are concerned about the economy, I recently published a report on How Nashville Survived the Last Three Recessions. I think you’ll find the information surprising. Send me a message and I’ll send you a copy.

Explore the wonderful history, art, and culture of France on an adventure from iconic monuments in Paris to amazing cave dwellings in the Loire Valley. Find secret spots in the splendid gardens at Giverny and Versailles, study the strategy behind World War II operations, and solve ancient mysteries in the halls of historic castles and cloisters. From crepes to cathedrals, discover the many treasures this incredible country holds for travelers of all ages.

Itinerary - 9 Days

Day 1 Paris

Arrive in time to meet your fellow travelers for a welcome gathering this evening. Your arrival transfer is included.

Day 2 Paris

Head straight to the heart of Paris on a walking tour of the Île de la Cité, the island in the Seine where the city was first settled. Cross the stone arches of the Pont Neuf, or New Bridge—which is actually the oldest bridge in Paris! The rest of the day is yours to explore the City of Light. Choose to climb the steps of the Eiffel Tower, satisfy your sweet tooth at a chocolate-tasting workshop, or explore inside the iconic pyramid of the Louvre, home to treasures such as the "Mona Lisa" and the "Venus de Milo."

Day 3 Giverny/Honfleur/Bayeux

Travel outside the city to the village of Giverny, and visit the home of Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Wander around weeping willows and green lily ponds in the gardens that inspired some of his greatest works of art. Then head to Honfleur, a colorful port town sitting where the Seine meets the English Channel. Enjoy lunch and stroll the streets of this seaside community, where many great artists have painted the rainbow of fishing boats afloat in the harbor. Later, continue to Bayeux, an ancient city that has been sacked by Vikings, conquered by the English, and occupied by the Germans in World War II.

Day 4 Bayeux

This morning, delve into the story of D-Day and the battle to liberate France during a hands-on, sensorial World War II history experience. Feel the weight of real GI equipment, try on a field jacket, and taste the chocolate bars carried in soldiers’ kits. Climb aboard a military vehicle and drive to the nearby Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, the first American World War II cemetery established on European soil. After lunch, spend a free afternoon exploring historic Bayeux. Later, learn the delicate art of making crepes before gathering for a delicious dinner.

Day 5 Bayeux

Venture to the amazing Mont-Saint-Michel, an island stronghold perched on a rock off the Normandy coast. Built in the eighth century, this UNESCO World Heritage site has been attacked and besieged, but rarely captured—perhaps due to the quicksand that surrounds the fortress at low tide! Head out on an orientation walk, then enjoy free time to wander winding lanes and cobbled streets, climbing from the base of the mountain to its crowning medieval abbey. Meander through the cloister of the monastery or discover the island’s history at a museum. Return to Bayeux and choose to view the incredible Bayeux Tapestry, tracing the Norman conquest of England in colorful embroidery.

Day 6 Loire Valley/Blois

Say au revoir to Normandy and enter the lush green Loire Valley. Set foot inside the amazing cave dwellings known as troglodyte homes—charming houses built in and around cliff-side caverns. On an underground walk, delve into the geological history of the region and learn about the local troglodyte lifestyle. Continue to the ancient city of Blois, perched above the lovely Loire River, and enjoy a free evening to relax or explore this hillside city’s many staircases.

Day 7 Chenonceaux/Ambroise/Blois

Wake up this morning and head out on the water for a canoeing excursion along the Cher River. Paddle past picturesque medieval towns to the incredible Château de Chenonceau. This fairy-tale castle spans the river, while the gardens enclose sculpted hedges, a fantastic fountain, and a tricky maze. Later, venture to the last home of Leonardo da Vinci—the spectacular Château du Clos Lucé. Young travelers can pick up a special "inventor’s notebook" and set out to invent a machine using da Vinci’s ingenious tips and tricks.

Day 8 Versailles/Paris

Today, be amazed by the Hall of Mirrors in the magnificent Palace of Versailles, a World Heritage site. Imagine yourself decked out in velvet and gold as you stride between sparkling rooms on a guided tour, or explore the endless winding pathways in Versailles’ vast gardens. Return to Paris and enjoy a free afternoon to wander the banks of the Seine, munch on macarons, or shop in elegant boutiques. In the evening, gather for a farewell dinner.

Day 9 Paris

Depart at any time.
