"So What'd I Miss?" (and KU news!)
My little blog has been offline since the end of August, as we've had some difficulties involving a scoundrel hacker who tried to go full on destructor-mode on my web host. Luckily, my data was saved and restored, and I will be checking the website to make sure all the prior data is still in its place.
The real problem was that my email address, email@example.com, was offline since August 28th, and while I tried to communicate that via social media, I hope that none of you lovely people emailed me in the last 13 days and thought that I just didn't care to respond. If you DID email me in the last two weeks, please kindly resend your email and I will get to it right away.
I also have KU news! I have not updated my blog since June as I was busy in the writing cave and didn't quite realize so much time had gone by. It is almost time for Dewey Belong Together to leave other retailers and become Amazon-exclusive again, free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. That will happen later this month to coincide with the Fall Launch of Smartypants Romance, so if you are looking to grab Dewey from another retailer, please do so before we zip off to just Amazon!
That's all for now–again, if I missed your email I am very sorry and hope to hear from you again! /Whynot Out | commoncrawl |

Key To The Highway Lyrics
Artist: B.B. King
Album: Riding With The King
I've got the key to the highway
Feel I got to go
Gonna leave here running
Walking is both too slow
I'm going back to the border
Baby where I'm better known
Because you haven't done nothing baby
But draw the good man from home
When the moon peeps over the mountain
Little girl I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roll the highway until the break of day
Oh give me one more kiss darling
Just before I go
Cause when I leave this time little girl
I won't be back no more
I've got the key to the highway
Little darling I got to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is both too slow

Haiti (MNN) — Global Aid Network is making Haiti even more of a priority. While GAIN USA has worked alongside Nehemiah Vision Ministries in the beleaguered nation, Jim and Cheryl Warner are now living full-time in Haiti on their compound.
Warner says, "We were down here a number of times last year and a month last summer. We're also leading teams here, and God is leading us to spend an extended period of time, not only to coordinate all the Global Aids Network activities, but to help the Nehemiah Vision Ministries compound."
The work will be significant. "We have three teams yet this year, and then a couple early next year that will be coming down," says Warner. "Also, in between, we'll be helping with other activities on the compound."
Warner says since the earthquake hit last year, GAIN has sent 60 40-foot containers to Haiti containing "food, clothes, medical equipment, tents and a wide variety of things. Global Aid Network is partnering with churches in the United States helping us not only to fund the aid itself, but the funds required to ship that aid."
Because Christian teams are distributing the aid, Warner says the Gospel is a strong message going with it. "My wife led a team down here in March. They had almost 200 people come to Christ in just a week. And, we just had a team leave here in June doing eye clinics. We had 89 people pray to receive Christ."
Warner adds, "One of the byproducts of the earthquake has been a revival across the country. Churches all across the country have grown significantly, and people are seeking the Lord."
Warner says GAIN USA continues to recruit teams to Haiti to help with construction, medical clinics, water projects, and more. To find out about how you can help, click here. | commoncrawl |

What People are Saying
Folks who love BearHands!!
My daughter is wearing the big ones on her feet and the little ones on her hands, and she's crawling around growling at everybody. Such fun!
Jen, PA
We were toy shopping at our local small toy store(over the rainbow toys)yesterday. As my son was browsing we came upon these fuzzy soft paw shaped mittens and had to have a pair ! My 8 year old son spent all afternoon and evening wearing the black paws and pretending he was a mighty wolf! This morning I had to make a run back to the same store to pick up a bright pink pair for my 10 year old daughter who had to have "paws" too.
Lol, these may be slightly more expensive than most mittens but my kids love the warmth , play value, and versatility .
Thanks, Angel in Alaska
The jacket and hat are a huge hit! Kara loves them. For the first few days Kara wore it every day, even to bed. She also said that kids are not allowed to take stuffed animals to school but there is nothing the teacher can do about the one sewn into her jacket.....
Larry and Bonnie, Phila, PA
Hello, I'm sorry that I never took the time last year to let you know how much we love BearHands Mittens. Our son has cerebral palsy and gloves are just not an option for him. BearHands are an answer to our prayers and struggles. His hands slide right in and are cozy and warm.
Standard mittens always slid off or cramped his fingers because they were always too small. People comment on his BearHands all the time. I am a teacher for children with severe and multiple disabilities. I would love to share information with the parents or my students so they can give BearHands a try too. Thanks for such a great product. We will be ordering again soon.....you know, you can never have too many BearHands and you just have to have them to match every coat =).
Deb & Dave Pannell
I bought a few of the hat and scarf sets for my children. I have been stopped and complimented everywhere I go and asked where I found them. Some days at least 5 or 6 times.
If you want to send me any promotional flyers on your products and how to order I would be more then happy to keep them with me and distribute to let others enjoy the great products.
I just got the delivery of my bearhands this morning and I'd like to say thank you very much for the incredibly fast and efficient service, I would say that 5 days from email to international delivery(including a long weekend) was superb, as well as to tell you that the product itself looks better, bigger, and fluffier in real life than on the internet site. Once again thank you and hope to deal with you again Cheers,
R.L. Cumbria, England United Kingdom
I just wanted to let you know that I received my order the other day and all I can say is WOW! I love my brown fur'd BearHands, they are awesome and so cute. Everyone around the office thought they were terrific as well and inquired where I bought them, so hopefully you'll get some more orders from here. Thanks again. As much as I hate winter, I'm waiting for the snow to fly again just so I can play outside with my BearHands. :) Cheers!
C.R. Edmonton, Alberta Canada
Hi I got the package and i have to say i LOVE love love my new mittens. I have a dog and I walk her at least twice a day, and in the winter that is really tough some days. So now I have these, I don't have to pull off my gloves to pick up her, umm, business. More info that you'd want I am sure, but really, these are making me happy and I already can't wait for next winter. I am actually glad it's freezing today. Thanks again and yippee,
A.H. New York, N.Y. USA
Wonderful Mittens! Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my mittens have arrived. They are wonderful and have been admired by many people I work with.
Helen D, UK
Thank You!, thank you so very much for the warm, comfy gloves.They sure fit my arthritic hands beautifully and feel wonderful!
Linda B, West Warwick, RI
Love my bearhands! I found my BearHands at Good Things in White Bear Lake, MN. and fell in love with them. Then, while in New York City for Christmas, I found oodles of them being sold at a Holiday Market near the new Bryant Park Skating Rink! I love my mittens...they are warm, soft, cozy, comfortable and practical. I'm going to order a faux fur pair online, also.
Roxi K, White Bear Lake, MN
Bearhands are big! I just got my bearhands in the mail this week and absolutely LOVE them! I was wearing them this morning when it dropped into the teens and my hands were so nice and toasty inside of them. Considering I have horrible circulation, that's a miracle! Plus I didn't have to take them off to get my keys out! They're fantastic, thanks!
Melissa O, Ypsilanti, MI
Thank You! I just received your BearHands order today, it's SO perfect!! Goodbye dry hands!
Mayumi K., Edgewater, NJ
Thanks for your help with my order My three-year-old hates to be cold but never wanted to wear his mittens until I got him a pair of Bear Hands last winter. Now he LOVES LOVES LOVES them to death and never wants to leave the house until he has his Bear Hands on. He's also very proud of them and likes to run around and show them off; now all the kids at the playground want them too! Thanks for your great product and my little guy's toasty warm hands. We're looking forward to the new pair.
Jessica S., Glen Ridge, NJ
Thank You Bearhands I received a pair of your 'bear hands' mittens after a hand accident in which I lost the fight with a table saw(and my ring finger). My hand was swollen and I couldnt get a regular pair of mittens on it, your mittens slid right on and are they ever warm and toasty. They are quite the conversation piece.Thanks for a great product.
Arlene C., Almond, WI
Love your mittens Hello! Just wanted to let you know that my 16 month old loves your mittens. They are the ONLY mittens that he will keep on. He even holds his hand out to "help" put them on! And of course, they keep his fingers nice and toasty. Thank you for making these mittens, they are great!
Jennifer V , Alaska
I purchased 2 of your scarves last year. I love them soooo much, that I would like to get 2 more from you this year. I would like to order ASAP.
PS, Woodland Hills, CA
My mother-in-law JUST bought bear hands for my two sons and they love them!!! :-)
Florence wore the pink pig infant hat this morning and I had so many comments from mum's of babies about where they could buy one. I gave them your website address. I'm sure they'll be a big hit.
Amanda, CA
Your product is awesome and I am hopeful that someone will want to make these available to our customers during the holidays. Thank you for forwarding your product for this purpose
Janet Spoerer
Grand Central Mall
I just had to let you know that my 3-year old granddaughter absolutely loves the Purple Bearhands Glovers we bought her off your website. They also saved a lot of heartache at their house. You see we bought a smaller toddler pair of purple gloves for her younger sister and a pair of orange gloves for the 3-year old while we were visiting Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park this summer . . . And, of course, our 3-year old decided she had to have purple. We were relieved to find your site through Google and ordered a pair a few days ago. I'm happy to report the new, larger purple gloves arrived today and we received an excited phone call from our granddaughter. I'm sure the unused Orange pair will await her younger sister becoming old enough to wear them or some other good cause. Thanks for being there, for making a neat little product for not too much money and for your quick, efficient shipment arriving in Minneapolis in fine style.

Shire Leasing Plc has deservedly been named as Independent Lessor of the Year at the Leasing World Awards 2016.
On the 4th October, representatives from Shire Leasing attended the 8th annual Leasing World Awards, a prestigious black tie ceremony held at London's Hilton Bankside Hotel. The ceremony recognises accomplishments in the financial services sector. Beginning the night with a "Bubbly Balcony Reception" overlooking the banqueting hall, the night continued with a fine three course meal separated with the regular theme of the "Heads 'n Tails" and raffle games, to help raise money for charity.
The Independent Lessor of the Year award exhibits the continuous successes of Shire Leasing Plc, and the ever-evolving commitment to support British SMEs obtain alternative finance options to acquire business critical equipment.
As a private company, Shire is truly independent with over 95% owned by 2 individuals since its origin in 1990. Since then, Shire has received the support of the government-owned British Business Bank with a £40m facility matched pari passu with commercial lenders. That has allowed Shire's status to evolve into predominantly a funder in the asset finance market, with a portfolio of gross receivables with over £83m.
Further to the service offered to business customers and equipment resellers, the award also recognises how Shire's vision and values apply to other stakeholders, including those who have helped earn this award – Shire Leasing employees.
With initiatives such as a graduate scheme, employee forums and continuous development opportunities, Shire Leasing value their employees and ensure that their work and opinions are respected. Corporate Social Responsibility also remains at the heart of what Shire do, with regular charity days throughout the year to support both national and local communities organised by a dedicated CSR Committee.
Shire Leasing thoroughly enjoyed the night, and all employees were overjoyed as the trophy was brought back the following day. We look forward to another year of growth and successes, and hope to retain the title at next year's event.
Are you:
– a business customer requiring finance,
– an equipment supplier wanting to offer finance options, or
– interested in working at Shire Leasing? | commoncrawl |
How to lose weight naturally without exercise
As a registered dietitian, I don't believe that losing weight fast is the healthiest approach. It often backfires, which leads to regaining all (or more) of the pounds shed, and it usually results in shedding only water weight, rather than body fat.
But if you're initially motivated to drop a few pounds fast, here's a primer on what you should know, including the safest approaches, and who should definitely not go down the quick fix path.
Slowly but safe is much better than faster but dead. A long-lasting result of weight loss require some time to done and continuous action.
Naturally losing weight is a healthy and safe method of weight loss. It generally involves making small tweaks to your diet, exercise routine and lifestyle, rather than wholesale ones.
With that in mind, in the following blog article I have compiled five small-scale, natural and easily-achieved changes you can add to your routine that will help you to lose weight faster.
5 Tips to help you Lose Weight:
1. Add Protein to your Diet
When it comes to losing weight, protein is one of the best tools you have at your disposal. Since your body burns lots of calories even digesting and metabolizing the protein that you eat, a high protein diet can actually boost your metabolism by up to 100 calories a day. Plus, a lot of proteins are similar to whole foods; in that they are very filling and provide a more natural way of fulfilling your daily calorie requirements without overeating. How Much Protein Do I Need? The amount of protein you require depends on your weight and your daily caloric intake. Protein is the building block of muscles. Muscle protein synthesis is a naturally occurring process in which protein is produced to repair muscle damage.
2. Eat more vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are classically healthy foods that are very friendly towards diet, weight loss and greater health. Both are very high in water, nutrients, healthy sugars and fiber, whilst also being low in calories and having a low energy density. Eat more vegetables and less fruit. This means that you can eat lots more without consuming too many calories; unlike something like refined carbohydrates. The truth is that You need eat more uncooked vegetables (carrots, avocados, cabbage).
3. Drink More Water Every Day
Making sure to drink more water is a simple but effective change you can make to your lifestyle in order to lose weight. For one, replacing other drinks you might be having at mealtimes, such as fizzy drinks, fruit juices or alcoholic beverages, is a simple way to make sure you are getting enough water every day while also reducing the amount of calories you are taking in every day. Dont drinking any fizzy drinks and fruit juices.
Eat slowly and mindfully. Eating slowly promotes thorough chewing. To eat slowly, you need to chew your food thoroughly before swallowing. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
5. Do not skip breakfast
Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry. Eat regular meals. Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar.
Could there be an easier way to lose weight?

Time travel: CORNET Kick-off Meeting in 2005
Thomas Klein and his colleague Almut Büchner from AiF e. V. had left nothing to chance during preparation for the kick-off meeting on 21 June 2005 in Cologne, Germany: they had visited the hotel personally, ordered the most professional photographer and printed out all presentations in paper – just in case. The efforts were rewarded: the meeting went well, and the representatives of 23 European ministries and funding agencies gave the starting signal for the ERA-NET project CORNET, that officially had started on 1 March 2005 with a duration of three years and was funded by the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme.
Objectives of the ERA-NET CORNET
Its objective was to contribute to establishing a European Research Area by providing a platform for exchange between national and regional funding schemes in the field of Collective Research. Duplication of efforts in Europe should be avoided by enabling researchers to work cross-border for the benefit of SMEs. New member states of the European Union should be supported in their efforts to introduce funding schemes for Collective Research. Another objective was to make a decision on common financing for projects. The responsible Project Officer from the European Commission, Wolfgang Wittke, who participated in the meeting, remembers the expectations he had at the time: "When we initiated the ERA-NETs, it was our clear objective to establish networks, that would become sustainable beyond the duration of the EU funding."
Mandates for Work Packages
The list of decisions for the Council delegates at the CORNET kick-off meeting contained f. ex. mandates for the Work Package leaders responsible for Management, Dissemination and Communication, as well as the order to compare national and regional funding schemes and to write a Guide on "How to organise, manage and fund Collective Research".
Decision to fund Pilot Projects right from the beginning
One essential decision was made early in the project: The Council approved to establish a task force "kick-start projects", i.e. to commonly evaluate five hand-picked pilot projects and to fund those positively evaluated. Members of this task force were not only funding organisations but also the coordinators of the funded projects, to ensure immediate feedback from the applicants. Based on this pragmatic decision, the CORNET partners learned a lot about their respective national funding schemes and their similarities but also the different meanings of the words "application", "eligibility" or "evaluation", about time lines and decision making in national funding schemes, which finally lead to a steep learning curve by the funding organisations.
The meeting has set the course for the future
When the meeting ended, Thomas Klein and Almut Büchner were relieved. Everything went smooth, all participants seemed to be satisfied, and they could continue working on the basis of the results achieved: they had received the mandate for their management tasks, logo and website layout were approved and they had met most CORNET partners in person. At that time, they did not know, that this meeting did set the course for establishing a network, that would still exist 15 years later. Wolfgang Wittke: "I'm pleased to see, that our goal to establish a sustainable structure has been achieved in CORNET." Today, CORNET is a network open to all countries world-wide, with a focus on its core activity: the organisation of joint calls for proposals.

Roger Miller's father died when he was only one year old and his mother became sick soon after, so he was sent to live with his uncle in Erick, Oklahoma. Was Mah the one who beat you up? Clark can't swim yet. She's wearing sunglasses. Love is free of fear. My uncle is a lousy driver. He loves ceremonies. They set a new record for the longest kiss. Have you any fever? Rodney has done a good job so far.
Whether you drive quickly or slowly, drive carefully. I will finish it by tomorrow afternoon. He is very glad that his school life is going well. There were a lot of murders last year. When were you thinking of coming back to the States?
Sri wished Holly was with him. I understood her feelings and thoughts even without words. I'm not that nice a guy. I had nowhere else to go.
This is not fair. I have no other choice. I just know that I don't want to be married to you.
You've got to stop him. I've been attacked. We're really afraid. Can you shoot straight? I saw Mitch in the library yesterday.
Erick answered in the affirmative. Don't forget to do what I asked. Harris has been out of the office for a couple weeks. Thierry is a little upset.
She did it carefully.
Stu gets high just from saying the word 'stoat' over and over. My mother doesn't know how to ride a bicycle. I love fried bananas. Give me some space. Cynthia will make it on time. They ran through the streets naked. I should give Stacey a call. God told Israel not to even mention the name of pagan gods, but the church has a celebration that is named after a pagan god. Would you have an uneasy feeling if you told me about that? Where is the ticket window?
The article had three columns.
None of the students were listening to the teacher. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. My husband and I, we have drifted apart, and now we don't know how to reverse the process. Does Sassan have reason? We have to get it done now. It is the steamed potato! Dean seldom talks about himself. None were listening to the speaker.
They left one after another. To tell the truth, I hate the very sight of him.
Kieran doesn't like tennis.
Yumi can't finish it in a day. If you go on at that rate, you will surely fail. I'll get right to it. It was a radical change. The officer inspired his men to be brave. Raul asked Duane for help. It's his favorite Italian word. Why is Saad always having money problems? Norman sat across the table from Jesper.
Scott likes to take walks by himself. Don't take what Dominick says at face value. Novo's speech was full of double entendres, most of which went over his audience's head. The cat fell asleep curled up in front of the fireplace. Had she been alive, my mother would have given me a hand then. I think this is the best part of the movie. I'd be happy to sing for you. Would you like to become a trusted user? I'm afraid the job I've got for you won't be easy.
I'll tell you when to go. Anthony might not have been so fortunate. Mumps is an infectious disease. Sanche told me that he could live off his savings for a while if he lost his job. My elder daughter Magdalena is like an angel. I can't make a decision on my own. She is dressed like a bride.
Aardvarks dig in search of food. All what he said was right. We have to figure out why the machine isn't working properly. Yesterday it rained hard. I'm going to go withdraw some money. The traffic was interrupted by the heavy snow. There's no need to get so angry. | commoncrawl |
Shanghai (Gasgoo)- China's Internet giant Baidu announced the level 4 autonomous driving vision-based closed-loop solution designed for urban roads, the Apollo Lite, at the CVPR 2019 (the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition).
(Photo source: Baidu Apollo)
According to Wang Liang, head of Baidu Apollo Technical Committees, the Apollo Lite is so far China's only level 4 (fully autonomous driving) urban road-specific vision-based sensing solution that can process a huge amount of data generated by 10 cameras at a speed of 200 frames per second. The maximum frame drop for each camera is under 5‰. Using the solution, vehicular sensors are able to achieve the 360-degree in-time environment perception and extend its head-on detection range as far as 240 meters.
Based on the previous technical R&D and the iteration of road tests for the first half of 2019, the new sensing system that is composed of 10 cameras will help Baidu's vehicles to conduct the end-to-end closed-loop autonomous driving on urban roads sans high-beam rotatable lidar, said Wang Liang.
Baidu revealed that the Apollo Lite has been tested on multiple road sections in Beijing and reached the world-leading level in terms of number of vehicles tested, cumulative testing mileage and vehicle's performance in closed-loop autonomous driving on urban roads.
This panoramic-view perception solution features relatively low cost, and is also compatible with ADAS applications.
The Apollo Lite's unveiling comes after the January launch of Apollo 3.5, the latest version of Baidu's Apollo open source autonomous driving platform and the Apollo Enterprise, which is designed to provide a series of "tailor-made intelligent driving products and solutions" for vehicle fleets.

Just in from Tony, and scanner traffic confirms the search:
… SPD currently have containment around the 7700-7800 block of Highland Parkway SW. It appears that there was another robbery in the area. Scanner traffic from the police seems to indicate that the same suspects in several robberies may be involved in this one also. From what I heard the call came out at just before 6:30 for an armed robbery in front of 7789 Highland Parkway. The police arrived very soon after and set up containment to keep the suspects within a specific geographic area. They are described as two males late teens early twenties wearing white bandanas over their face and hoodie type sweatshirts. One of the males had a shot gun. There were a couple of witnesses to the incident and have provided directions lasted traveled. There does not appear to be a car involved. An SPD K9 unit is responding from the north end of Seattle and expects to be on the scene in the next few minutes. It is likely the road closures will be in effect for a little while. At this time I would suggest that people in the area remain inside and make sure their doors are locked.
More as we get it. Regarding those "several robberies" that happened earlier, there were two last Thursday night (discussed on WSB in the context of a helicopter sighting – here's the post): one at Gas Depot on South Delridge, one at Lucky Seven in White Center; we had asked both investigating agencies to let us know if any surveillance photos were available to show, but hadn't received any to date. 8:07 PM UPDATE: Per scanner, a K-9 officer lost the scent somewhere on 10th SW so some units have left that part of the scene. 9 PM NOTE: After that, the scanner traffic dwindled to nothing – so there's no additional information; our original tipster relayed that officers left that area too. Not sure if we will get more information tonight but we will pursue it. WEDNESDAY MORNING UPDATE: This robbery has appeared on the SPD Blotter website, but even less info than we had in this post; we're checking directly with the Southwest Precinct for any additional details. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: The only additional detail that Lt. Steve Paulsen has is that the suspects are "possibly (2) Hispanic males teens/20's." He says "we have a lot of folks citywide working on this" and also working in tandem with King County Sheriff's Office, since one of the stickups last Thursday was in White Center, but no arrests yet. | commoncrawl |

Senior - BHPian | Mahindra ties up with Ola, targets Rs. 2,600 crore business Mahindra has signed an MoU with Ola to enter an alliance with the ride hailing service provider. The tie up is aimed at expanding Ola's fleet strength by 40,000 new cars in the next two years. While this is expected to help Ola increase its reach and footprint, Mahindra is targeting a total revenue generation of around Rs. 2,600 crore in the next two years through the said tie up. Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group had claimed that ride hailing service providers like Uber and Ola will hugely impact vehicle sales of the future. With the new MoU, the company seems to be partnering the growth of one such service provider, and in turn, trying to increase its market share. Mahindra has also announced that the partnership involves not just Mahindra Auto, but various other businesses of the Mahindra Group, including Mahindra Financing, Mahindra Insurance, etc. Through the partnership, Ola's driver partners will now be able to opt for a 'Mahindra-Ola' package, which includes discounted prices for Mahindra cars, financing with zero down payment, maintenance packages, as well as exclusive benefits on the Ola platform. The companies claim that this new initiative will encourage micro-entrepreneurship among drivers. For now, Mahindra will be selling conventional fuel cars, mainly the Verito, to the Ola drivers. There is a possibility that Mahindra's electric cars will be inducted in the Ola fleet in the future. This isn't the first time that an automotive manufacturing company has announced a partnership in a ride hailing service provider. Tata Motors and Uber had gone into a similar agreement a couple of months back. Link to Team-BHP News Last edited by dZired : 9th September 2016 at 14:48. |

Senior - BHPian | Re: Mahindra ties up with Ola, targets Rs. 2,600 crore business Quote:
Consider this, as far as the passenger vehicle segment is considered, the Verito is a dead product by now. The Verito sedan and the Verito Vibe hatch are cumulatively clocking 200-300 unit sales every month. That is a very low sales figure for keeping the assembly lines rolling. But now, under the said partnership with Ola, Mahindra has opened up a new market for the Verito. Even if half of the claimed 40,000 drivers opt in for the Verito, it will be equivalent to 100 months (over 8 years!) of sales by Verito's current pace of 200 dispatches per month. Moreover, it isn't just the auto business that is benefitted. Be it the Tata-Uber alliance or the Mahindra-Ola tie up, both the automakers have combined their financial and insurance verticals into the aggregator's business models. This makes a win-win equation for all: the automakers, service providers, as well as the driver partners. I personally feel that the Taxi business will see more partnerships with automakers in the future. Not all companies are shy of adding a commercial vehicle image to their models, case in point - the Toyota Etios. What was once perceived as a threat is now being looked at as an opportunity. | |

Surrogacy procedure
Surrogacy procedureHi everybody. I am Lana. I am fighting with infertility for a long time. After a long thinking I decided to try with surrogacy. I want to know all about it. My family is divided. Some of them are with me 100% and the others are not so sure that I made a good decision. I am sure that this is a good decision but I want to know all about the procedure before I try.
Hi Lana! This is your decision and only you can decide. Your family can tell you your opinion but at the end you have to make a decision. First, there are different types of surrogacy. The procedure depends on what type you choose. It also depends of the law of the country you go to. Medical procedure is that the eggs are fertilized in the laboratory to create an embryo, which will be transferred to the surrogate. The surrogate will undergo fertility treatments prior to the embryo transfer and during the pregnancy.
I was reading something about this types. I will look closely and decide. I must find a clinic where will I go. There are so many options and I don't want to make a wrong decision. This decision will affect in whole my life.
Because there is so many options and types of surrogacy maybe it's best to choose first where you will go. Then you can consult with them what is the procedure. I heard about clinic in Ukraine. I believe you will find something about them. Seems to me they are a good choice. Either way, You can start with that and see what to do.
You probably think about BioTexCom. I was reading about them. I have found only the good comments. You are right, I will contact them and ask them to tell me all details. It would be easier to make a decision if I talk with specialist.
Why surrogacy might become necessary?
The group of patients for which surrogacy is often necessary are heterosexual or straight couples which find themselves in one of the following situations:
Absence of the uterus
Uterine malformations or alterations
Diseases and conditions preventing women from becoming pregnant because the baby's and mother's health would be at risk
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL)
Repeated IVF failure (RIF)
Also, single women and lesbian couples suffering from one of the above mentioned issues could become mothers thanks to surrogacy.
Likewise, single men and same-sex male partners often resort to surrogacy to have a baby, as it is the only way for them to have a genetic child using their reproductive cells. In these cases, surrogacy is required just because human males do not have the anatomy needed for natural embryonic and fetal development.
This might help you
Hello Lana. Sad to hear this that you are facing fertility crisis. This is such an enormous pain you are going through but believe me, you are taking a very right decision on surrogacy. There is nothing bad about it. Just don't worry about it. Well if we talk about surrogacy procedure, in surrogacy Gestational bearer courses of action are more typical than customary surrogacy. In this course of action, the egg from the planned mother or an egg contributor is treated by sperm from the expected father or a sperm benefactor. This is done through IVF. The surrogate mother won't be the hereditary parent of the child. Good luck with all this procedure.
Dear Lana I am sorry for your condition. The pain of not having a baby is extremely difficult to bear. Honey you aren't aware of the solutions that are being provided to the infertile women. Infertile women can achieve fertility through assisted origination treatment. What is reason of your infertility ? Surrogacy is one of the major procedure to overcome infertility. There are less risks but more benefits in this procedure. If the quality of your eggs are good then I would strongly suggest you to go for Gestational Surrogacy. Hence you and you husband will be the biological parents of the child. There are various clinics around the providing this technique. Look for the best clinic. It would be their responsibility to find the best surrogate match for you. Surrogacy is the best option for those infertile couples who want to complete their family. I wish you all the best in this procedure. Hope for good. Take care xx
I think you should listen to your heart. You don't have to satisfied everyone arround you. It's important that you decide what is the best for you and your family. You can't succeed that everyone agrees with you. I see that some ladies mentioned you BioTexCom. I think that is a good choice. I know them very well. Not because of surrogacy but if they are profesional in that treatment like in every other, you will be in good hands. Contact them and see do you agree.Last edited by Winonna; 01-24-2018, 04:29 PM.
Hey lana! No, This is something which only depends on you, not anyone else. you are the only one which has the power to take a decision here. They can only suggest you what and what not. I feel so bad for you hon! that you can't conceive naturally, but trust me it's not your fault and nothing to be ashamed of. The decision you made is a good decision. Surrogacy is a process where the surrogate mother will carry the baby in her womb for you. The sperm used to conceive is your husband's. There are many good clinics around the world now, It's a little bit expensive, there are still some places where it's still a little bit cheaper than others, like Ukraine or India. Both countries have a high success rate of surrogacy. Good Luck! Much Love!
Heyya. I hope that you're doing good. I'm really sorry to hear that you can't conceive naturally. It's really a heart-wrenching thing. The family is a blessing. It is probably the most wonderful thing ever. Children are a gift. One must do every possible thing to have them. Good to hear that you're going for surrogacy. It's a wonderful technique. Well, some people find it ethical. While others don't. I think you should go for it. It would be the best thing for you. Talking about the procedures, you'll have a surrogate first. Then all the legal documentation. Then the surrogate will carry your child. And the process goes on. I hope this helps you. Take care of yourself. Much love.
Hey Lana. Hope you're doing good. If you have been fighting infertility for a long time period. I would suggest that you really start opting for other treatments. Even I am in that race however, I have decided to go for surrogacy. With the help of the people on this forum, I was able to find a perfect clinic for the treatment. They were so kind an talked about all the details in depth. I first watched all their videos and they too were extremely informative. Most of my questions were answered through that. My major concern was linked to the health of the surrogate mother. However, they told me how professional doctors take each every woman's test. This helps them determine if she is perfectly capable of conceiving or not. Also, I was really worried about the legal work. However, they even ran me down through it. I was really satisfied and would soon be flying to visit them. I think you should also start your search and find a good clinic. I would suggest this one to you as well.
Hi Lana! I've seen an exact situation like yours. Well, I am also just another infertile person like you. I had this friend she was having endometriosis and she was under treatment with me. Our OBs was same and she was suggested for surrogacy later. Her family didn't want her to have a child that way. But later she went to Ukraine with her husband on her insist...It worked for them. They had the baby; her husband's sperm was fine. Later everyone accepted their decision and applauded them for it! I think you should really go for it. Your decision is right! Anyway! I still wish you luck! xx
Hey there. I hope that you're doing good. I totally understand your problem here. Infertility is really the worst thing ever. The feeling of not becoming a mother ever is really a heart-wrenching thing. Infertility breaks a person both emotionally and physically. Everyone desires to have a family. It's the ultimate goal of every couple. I totally agree with your decision now. Everyone deserves to be happy. After suffering from everything, now you should definitely go for surrogacy. I think that you made a good decision. Actually, in some countries, it is thought to be unethical. Due to religious issues, some people consider it immoral and they spend all their lives longing for Children and facing infertility. It's a medical procedure, an opportunity, so every woman suffering from infertility should definitely go for it. It's the basic right of every person to be happy after all. Secondly, You're mentioning that you want to know about the surrogacy programs. Well, I went to Ukraine with a team for a survey. We were basically given the task to point out the best clinic and to study every procedure that includes documentation and information about the surrogates. So the clinic we visited at the third day of the survey was probably the best. We then observed different women going through the process, surrogates and their success. Well, the clinic provides safe procedures. Moreover, it doesn't want you to find a surrogate for your procedure. It serves a really great job in this regard. I've seen women having many complexes and nervousness before they go for surrogacy. They think that they would have differences with the child. But it's not right. I've seen women having successful procedures. And now they're living happily. So I think if you want to opt for surrogacy, you must visit Ukraine for the purpose. I wish you the best of luck. Take care!
hey hey!! hope you are doing well.First congratulations on your big decision.I hope that the rest of your family also comes around soon.Well, surrogacy is a way of having a child from a surrogate mother.The eggs either donor or your own are taken and fertilized with the sperm of your partner and put into the womb of the surrogate mother.The surrogate mother has no right to the child after it is born.Now you must have a contract for that.Look for the best clinic out there and chose wisely.Choose the one where they offer unlimited trials package.that is the best one

Last year the government announced that it would be reviewing the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) stream in addition to Austrade becoming an additional nominated stream for investment visas.
The proposed changes for the SIV were suggested by the Assistant for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator Michaelia Cash. To apply for the Significant Investor Visa the applicant requires a minimum term of 4 years of complying investments with at least a $5 million value.
The changes have been proposed to assist with streamlining the application process. Some of these proposed changes to the SIV include introducing:
* Austrade as an additional nominator – currently only a State or Territory can be the nominated pathway for migrant investment.
* A requirement for 180 days of residence in Australia per year
* A stop to the encumbering investments being complied or their use as security loans.
Having Austrade as an additional nominated stream will work in line with the current State and Territory policy. The national policy for migrant investment encompasses investments such as:
* Food and agribusiness
* Gas and energy resources
* Mining equipment technology and services
* Oil
* Medical technologies and pharmaceuticals and advanced manufacturing
The changes to the Significant Investment Visa were proposed to take effect sometime during 2014-2015. If you have any questions on the Significant Investment Visa or any other Investment Visa, please contact one of our experienced migration agents.

An explanation of Teams, All Stars, The Park System, and everything else as best as I can explain it.
This may be a little bit long-winded but hang in there. I'm going to be primarily speaking to those of you like me, people with small children who have been in the recreation system post-Katrina. And I speak only for myself, as I have come to understand it.
A little over a year ago, the pre-Katrina style park system was put back into place. What this meant was that what you have been used to post-Katrina (one centralized recreation administration location, hereafter referred to as 'Rec') was changed to four booster clubs staffed solely by volunteers: Carolyn Park, Versailles, Borgnemouth, and Kenilworth. The responsibility for registration, coaching, concessions, advertising, etc, was slowly (or in some cases rapidly) moved onto the clubs and we have had to adjust, just like you, in real-time.
Where you used to go to sportspilot or walk into Val Reiss and register your child has been changed to logging into your local park's page and registering there. Each of the Booster Presidents and Athletic Directors get together with Recreation Staff at roughly the start of each sport and attempt to work out the details of fee's, schedules, playing locations, and all the other particulars prior to broadcasting it to the parents. Overall the 'feel' of the recreation program is driven by the parish (sports played, A & B teams, etc). In most cases, the Booster clubs attempt to gain feedback from the parents as it relates to some of these things through parent meetings but turnout for parent meetings are typically low unfortunately, although we are very grateful for those that are able to attend. Our Booster resources are meager, we typically use social media, email blasts, flyers in the schools, yard signs in the neutral ground, Rec will send out emails, etc., in order to get the word out about registrations and events. The registration period is typically open a month or better prior to the closing of clinics, yet the vast majority of the registrations occur three to four days prior to the final day of registration. Understand that the closing date of registration is not because we don't want to register a child after that, it's because the logistics involved are cost prohibitive as well as just plain infeasible sometimes as it relates to the numbers of players on teams, talent levels, etc.
Registration Fee
We pay Rec a fee per player, it is different for every sport and sometimes there is a sibling discount. Sometimes there is not. The Rec fee is assumed to go towards the referee cost, facility maintenance, grass cutting, etc. If you want clarification on this you will have to go to the Parish, this is not a question I can answer. The remainder of the registration fee goes towards equipment, uniforms, etc., and basically works like this (usually): the lower the registration fee the cheaper the uniform, the higher the registration fee the nicer the uniform. Sometimes you get to keep the uniform, sometimes you don't. Usually if you are keeping the uniform the registration fee will be higher, we don't want to subsidize something we can't re-issue in the future. These are broad generalities but they are questions that usually crop up. As an example, and I'm making this up for this post, you may pay $75 to play football to your park. Your park will have to turn around and pay Rec $45 per player, and then get uniforms and equipment for $30 per player. Sometimes this works in the parks favor by a dollar or two but often times it does not. The registration fees are obviously set prior to registration being open and uniform costs are priced in bulk after we have registration numbers. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.
We used to play at Hannan and Val Riess, now we play everywhere, all the time, at the same time. My son and daughter have had soccer games at the same time, in two different places, and I can't watch them both. Or maybe I can't get them to both! I had the issue last season and I coached both teams because we had a lack of coaches in our zone for that age group. Unfortunately, some parks can play more games at one time than other parks so it makes scheduling difficult. Rec staff does their best to ensure that two parks play each other across all age groups at the same time, but many times it's just not feasible. The Booster clubs are not responsible for the game schedules. It may be that you have one child play in Kenilworth while another plays at Versailles. During the regular season this may or may not be an issue but during playoffs the location is determined by the team's record so it is more likely to occur if you have children on multiple playoff teams.
Drafting, Teams, & Schedules
I'll start with the A and B teams. Currently we have A and B teams in basketball and are most likely going to have it in baseball. Whether or not you are a proponent of mixing talent levels together or separating them out, this is where we are. I prefer to mix them together so I argue that side of the philosophy, others prefer to separate, both sides have valid points. As it relates to this, and I have fielded a number of inquiries as to why is a particular child on a particular team or why are they not on a particular team, the children are graded by the coaches at the clinics based on a number of factors. The main factor is talent level but other things may come into play, if the child is good at basketball but doesn't listen, is disruptive, etc., then they may not be on the A team no matter how good the parent thinks they are. At the draft, the coaches pick their players and the rosters are set. As is the case this year, we have more children than coaches, and I encourage you to contact your park's athletic director if you would like to help.
Again, game schedules are created by Rec, not by the Booster clubs. One additional note on the game schedules that came up with football: Why did some of the games start so late? There are a limited number of referees who have to get from one end of the Parish to the other so drive time has to be taken into account in some cases. We have little to no control over this. The practice schedules, however, are created by us, and take into account a great number of factors. Coaches work schedules, Catechism, parents work schedules, school events, events at the facility, holidays, etc. all play into when and how often a practice can occur. For instance, this season we have over 150 registrants in Versailles, this is almost a 30% increase over last year and we still have the same amount of space, with less coaches, and two less light bulbs! All of these considerations are taken into account and numbers are crunched by the volunteer board member(s) after work, while dealing with children/life/complaints/etc. and are done as fast as humanly possible.
All Stars
This is has been a big topic of late. Before, All Stars were the grouping of children parish-wide, split into two teams evenly (ish). Now, it is set up as an East vs. West style of play. All Stars is a Rec thing not a Booster club thing. Rec asks the coaches to nominate X number of players from each team and then Rec schedules the games, purchases the uniform, hosts the event, etc. Sometimes the children in the East will be bigger than those in the West and vice-versa. Not much we can do about it, and to be very honest and speaking for myself, I don't think we have the volunteers to deal with the additional logistics required.
Your Booster club sells food at the games and practices. This money goes towards equipment, subsidizing uniforms, putting on events, maintenance, etc. Some of your parks need, well, parks. Borgnemouth needs a baseball diamond, Versailles needs an entire park, Carolyn Park and Kenilworth have additional things that need to be done as well. Without concessions we can't raise money, it doesn't really come from anywhere else. Without volunteers we can't run concessions. Often you will see the same person in concessions day in and day out, trust me, it's not because they like working in a tiny little convenience store for free! It's because they believe in the children and giving them the same experience that they had as a child with rec sports. If you see a teenager working in concessions, they are not being paid and would much rather be with their friends, tip 'em, giv 'em a buck. Make it worth their while to help out.
The End
For those of you who have made it this far, well done. I know this was a long and laborious read but I hope you have gained a little bit of insight into what your Booster Club representatives have to work with on a daily basis. I can tell you that our phones don't stop making noise. Ever. Every time a parent wants to swear at a Ref. Ding. Every time someone wants to register late. Ding. Every time someone has an issue with a coach. Ding. And we don't mind, we truck on and continue to provide the highest level of service that we can after working our full time jobs, taking care of our families, getting dinner going, and making sure homework is done.

out of 5 stars
Hail the speed of technological advancement; for barely a week has past since we reviewed our first 12x DVD writer and here we have in our lab the latest and indisputably fastest 16x DVD writer, the long wait for this write speed is finally over. We had stated in our 12x review the short window these drives have upon their release and that its primary role was to serve as a follow-up to 8x writers that would eventually lead up to a write speed of where we are at now, 16x.
The first sign of this acceleration towards 16x was at a time when manufacturers started rolling out DVD writers based on the lowly 4x write speed and we are all aware of the rate of advancement from there on out. It's only a matter of time before engineers managed to bring the once snail's pace DVD authoring process down to a familiar timeframe of less than 10 minutes. We all know that 8x writers took care of that but the incursion of 16x writers would only serve to better this timing and we should finally be looking at a write time of less than seven minutes. For those users who are still relying heavily on CD writers and have been sneering and using the slow write time of DVD writers all this while as an excuse to make the conversion, the arrival of 16x writers couldn't have come at a better time.
Besides having a furiously fast 16x write speed in its veins, our review unit from BenQ, the DW1600, has support for the latest DVD+R DL format as well. With these two elements, users of this drive will have the best in authoring time and storage capacity when 16x DVD+R and DVD+R DL discs become widely available. It's to be noted that this model is just a single-format drive; meaning to say the DW1600 is purely a '+' advocate and will only be able to write to DVD+R/RW media, something to bear in mind if you're an early adopter.

"What are we having tonight?" my husband asked. "Arroz con Pollo. Rice with Chicken." I replied.
"I see you remembered something from your Spanish classes after all."
Yes. Yes I did. Five years of Spanish, and I remember enough to translate what we're eating. That's better than nothing, I guess.
I think you're suppose to have more chicken in the dish, but we only had two drumsticks. Ours is truly Rice with Chicken. Lots of rice, not a lot of chicken. Just enough for two, and some rice leftover.
In our household, we usually eat Chinese fried rice. This Spanish fried rice was a much welcomed flavor change. It's an easy, delicious, and homey meal.
Arroz con Pollo
adapted from Simply Recipes
2-4 chicken drumsticks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp paprika
4 tbsp olive oil, separated
2 cups medium or long grained rice
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp red pepper, chopped
2 tbsp green pepper, chopped
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1/8 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Rinse and pat dry chicken drumsticks. Mix salt, black pepper and paprika with flour. Dredge chicken in flour. Fry chicken until all sides are browned.
In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in medium high heat. Add rice, spread it out and let it brown for three minutes. Stir to let the other side brown.
Add onion, peppers, and garlic. Stir until onions have softened, about three minutes. Place the chicken on top of the rice.
Add chicken stock, tomatoes, oregano, and salt. Bring it to a boil and turn the heat down to low.
We don't have a lid for this pan. But no worries...I covered it with tin foil. Simmer for 25 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and it's time to eat!
Served with cilantro and lime wedges. | commoncrawl |

Rhythm Doctor hits all the right notes
You! Intern! Glad you're here. I'm really pressed for time so I'll be brief — this hospital is understaffed and overworked. We have a whole lotta patients suffering from chest pains and heart conditions with few providers to give them the time and care they need, so we've launched a new remote defibrillation internship program where interns such as yourself can administer treatments from home. How? By pressing a button on the seventh beat to defib their hearts. Got it? Good — smash that button and treat those patients!
Such is the life of the healthcare providers (and interns!) in Rhythm Doctor, a unique pixel art rhythm game where you "heal patients by defibrillating in time to their heartbeats." Currently being developed and self-published by Malaysian/Peruvian dev team 7th Beat Games, Rhythm Doctor channels the genre giants like Rhythm Heaven while still creating something entirely its own. Although it's still in Early Access, Rhythm Doctor already has over 12,000 positive reviews, receiving the highly coveted "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam for its catchy tunes, fun gameplay, and humanizing storyline.
Rhythm Doctor has players taking on the role of themselves, the newest (only?) intern in the hospital's experimental Rhythm Doctor program. Due to the staff shortage, some resourceful doctors have put together a remote program that allows stand-in providers like you to treat patients with heart conditions. This means that you'll be pressing a button to defibrillate their hearts and get it beating to a proper rhythm. Pressing a single button at the right time seems simple enough, but patients aren't a monolith — each one will need specialized care and treatment to solve their issues. Think you have what it takes, intern?
First thing's first — this is a damn good rhythm game. I couldn't stop thinking about Rhythm Heaven in the sense that the gameplay itself is simplistic in concept but challenging in practice. Oh sure, you might be able to press the space bar on the seventh beat each time on the first level, but what happens later on when there's an atypical beat? What about when the tempo speeds up and slows down? Multiple patients at once? How about when the game changes into windowed mode and dances around your computer monitors (yeah that was a delightful trip)? The mechanics of pressing a button may not change, but everything else about Rhythm Doctor can and likely will.
Weaving between levels is Rhythm Doctor's storyline, which will hit close to home for anyone who has worked in healthcare. Tired, overworked doctors grab a protein bar and a power nap for a 20 minute lunch before quickly making their rounds, feeling like they never have enough time to truly see their patients. Their patients, on the other hand, are doing their best to rest and recover, but without getting the proper attention feel slightly neglected.
Meanwhile, those who don't work in a hospital setting use their sub-par observational skills to perpetuate half-truths about providers, sowing discord where none needed to be. As I watched the full-on musical in one of the boss levels play out this exhausting scene, I got flashbacks to my days working in healthcare; I have a strong suspicion that someone on 7th Beat's team worked in a similar setting, as everything is just perfectly on the nose when it comes to how these organizations work and how providers, patients, and politicians feel.
As for the music, Rhythm Doctor provides a plethora of sick beats married perfectly to their respective levels. From techno to jazz, from lofi to musicals, Rhythm Doctor's OST has a wide variety of genres that'll be sure to please just about anyone. One of my favorites was the glitch-hop level with the Japanese flute instrumentals, although I did really enjoy the pacing of the jazzy coffee shop conversational level. And with each level featuring a sort of music video to complement the audio, Rhythm Doctor is a genuine feast for the eyes and ears.
If I'm being perfectly honest, I don't have a single complaint for Rhythm Doctor — this game is creativity on steroids. If it wasn't still in Early Access, I'd easily give Rhythm Doctor a perfect score without hesitation, and there are over 12,000 people on Steam who would readily agree with me. If you loved Rhythm Heaven, you have to get Rhythm Doctor. If you're wondering if there are any good rhythm games still being made, you have to get Rhythm Doctor. If you're looking for something that takes risks and plays along with players, you have to get Rhythm Doctor. If you just want a good game, you have to get Rhythm Doctor. So… you know. Get Rhythm Doctor, Stat!

3 Movements of Prayer ~ B
The Movement of the Heart#
Prayer contains a depth that mere mortality can only be puzzled at. It reaches to God's glory, seeks Divine counsel and elevates the soul to float above the cares of the world to the place of peace.
In prayer the heart escapes to heaven for a divine morsel of time.
The practise of prayer is in fact the gaining of spiritual momentum (no wonder we are kept busy by satan).
Ceaseless interior prayer is a continual yearning of the human spirit towards God. ~ Henri Nouwen. Surely this is the strongest symptom of a healthy heart.
Prayer is the conduit for soul-searching; it is the fodder of a healthy spirit and the divine axe that cuts down the forests of sin.
In our heart we come to see ourselves as sinners embraced by the mercy of God. ~ Henri Nouwen
Prayer is a saw to the logs in a believer's eye, an antidote to the proud poison of self and a divine mirror to the soul.
Prayer is a great detergent. ~ Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is the bath of the soul. It is the soul's assize where we must unsparingly judge whatever is evil in our lives and shelter in our hearts no rival to God - 'let not one of them escape'. ~ A.W.Pink
Woe-betide he whose prayer life is shallow and his knees not wrinkled; long will his sin live and long will his vine be barren.
The richest garments of the soul are spun on looms of prayer. ~ Leonard Ravenhill
The heart of repentance is a garden for the Lord to sow in, till and water. Such a heart is a vineyard for a large harvest, season after season.
It is from a scoured soul and a sober heart that prayer is engaged. It seeks no vainglory but the extension of His Kingdom in my life and the lives of those I can touch.

Having walked to the monument at the top of Coombe Hill (Read our article in Beautiful Buckinghamshire) we were in need of a spot of lunch.
Luckily for us, The Russell Arms is at the bottom of the hill just a five minute drive from Coombe Hill car park. With roaring logs fires the pub was very welcoming on this dull, damp, day.
Dating back to 1784, we were pleasantly surprised to see how bright and spacious the bar and restaurant were. No dark beams and dingy corners in this pub – it is light and bright with plenty of space between tables. The centrally located bar, to us, was the main focus and it has more of a wine bar feel to it than a traditional pub. However dogs, children and muddy boots are all still welcome.
Now owned by the community and managed by the lovely Tom and Alice, the pub has rightfully achieved the status of being a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in the 2017 Great Britain and Ireland Guide. We are not surprised. The food is simply delicious, there is no other word for it. Using local produce as much as possible; it looks good, smells good and by golly it tastes good. Our compliments go to Chef Dan for his creativity, as well as to the local artisan producers who provide The Russell Arms with quality key ingredients to work with.
We began with the bread board; corn bread, tomato and herb bread and beer and caraway seed (my favourite). These breads have been exclusively created by Chef Dan and Baker Steve and are only available to eat at The Russell Arms. The breads were served with rapeseed oil and apple cider vinegar. We were off to a great start.
Of course I had to choose the Wendover Royal Pork sausages (the pub is only a 5 minute drive from Wendover) accompanied by the creamiest of mash possible. Goodness only knows how many calories were contained within it, but I had just walked up Coombe Hill so it was justified!
The Ice creams and Sorbets have been crafted especially for The Russell Arms with flavours and recipes that Dan and Arthur have put together; Arthur is the artisan ice cream creator who lives close by in Little Kimble. The Chocolate & Cassis Roulade with Caramelised White Chocolate Ice Cream caught our eye; we almost licked the plate clean!
Finishing with an elegant cheeseboard there was nothing left for us to do but return home to relax around the open fire. After all it was already dark and it was only 3.50 p.m.
Our thanks go to all the staff at The Russell Arms for their hospitality. We shall definitely be returning, hopefully on a dry day, when we can take a proper look at the hidden garden we saw through the window!

"Sleep, creep, leap" is also how a certain flowering vine -- was it clematis? -- was described to me. THat the first year it would sleep, the second it would creep, and that the third year, it would leap (insofar as growth was concerned).
As an American, I can absolutely confirm for you that it is quite possible that someone would not know the word "herbaceous". :-\
Sounds like a book I'd read and have written it down...
p.s. And I WOULD love to meet the people I have online relationships with (as a comment to your comment the other day!). I do readings of my work here and there (working on my next book now, actually) and I've often wished I could travel to where my readers are... I have perhaps a dozen or two daily readers in the UK -- perhaps we could meet at your house. :-)
Hope your Tuesday is going well.
Interesting and thoroughly enjoyable review and insight Esther. I'll definitely look into the book.
Your anecdote about freeing the butterfly is something to ponder about. In this life it is sometimes worth trusting your gut feelings, as well as being pragmatic in ones approach to life. Deep thoughts for a Tuesday ;)
Pearl already described the expression sleep, creep, leap which is a common saying among gardeners in the US about perennials. Since The book is about his three-year garden journey, the title is all clever and topical. :)
Grasshoppers are a pest here, like the snails you threw over the wall... They eat everything.
I love spiders but would have freed the struggling butterfly too. The same way I brake for animals and try to save hurt birds. I just can't NOT. Yes, nature is nature, but when I see it live and up close, it's about me, too.
I love your line "In most ordinary decisions in a day, I need to respond to my inner callings or I will turn harsh..." Agreed!
Finally, I feel the same way about your exotic birds in England! (And flickers are super cute!)
The essay about his wife and ... herbaceous ... was on his blog as a taster. It stays in my mind, as a powerful and gentle love story.
I had a similar thought whilst watching the Emperor penguins going hungry in Happy Feet and then wondering how I'd feel if they decided to eat Nemo.
Disney has a lot to answer for.
Pearl and Monica got it, and so did you Esther (I like your take on the title, better than what I'd intended!). I'm so happy you enjoyed the book, and feel free to ask other questions--always tell my students there never is a bad one! Here's the link to the chapter where I teach my wife Latin plant names: http://deepmiddle.blogspot.com/2011/04/naming.html
Interesting! Sounds like a good book. Isn't it funny, though, how many words and phrases we DON'T have in common with our American cousins.
And of course they have green thumbs instead of green fingers!
I so identify with that spider's web dilemma...
Best wishes :)
You make it a book that just cries out to be read. Am off to check out the blog as the next best thing. I do find the differences in language between here and the US surprising, entrancing and confusing, in about equal measure. Particularly, somehow, when it comes to birds. I get all comfortable feeling like I know what "they" are talking about and then they go confuse me... | commoncrawl |
Award for Excellence in the Arts: Martha Mayer Erlebacher
Last night my husband Sabin Howard & I attended the Newington-Cropsey Cultural Studies Center event honoring Martha Erlebacher. Martha is a realist painter and teacher. She taught Sabin twenty-seven years ago at the Philadelphia College of Art, and Sabin credits Martha and her deceased husband Walter Erlebacher for giving him the tools with which to create beautiful classical art with a powerful modern sensibility.
It was a wonderful, heart-warming evening. Sabin and I picked Martha up at her hotel to take her to the Lotos Club. In the taxi, I asked about Sabin as a young art student. He had, at one point, sported a gigantic thatch of a beard that would have made ZZ Top proud. Martha laughed, told me that in all her decades of teaching, there were maybe 5 students who had serious, big talent as artists. Sabin was one of them.
She and Sabin fell into a conversation about the draughtsmanship of drapery. I shut up and listened. When two artists of the caliber of Martha Erlebacher and Sabin Howard are discussing drawing, Leonardo, and the play of light, I want to hear every word that comes out of their mouths.
Martha and Walter had to re-invent the Renaissance system of proportions and of how to structure the figure. Walter Erlebacher had been a darling of the art world when he was an abstract expressionist showing at the Whitney Biennial; when he turned to the figure, to the human body, they dropped him. Sad commentary on the lack of taste and vision in the art haute-monde.
No one was doing realism and the figure back in the 60's, when Walter and Martha understood that the human body is the greatest expression of truth, beauty, and narrative that human beings have. Against a condescending environment in the art world and a disembodied academia that had forgotten the perceptual power of art in favor of heady conceptual babble, they reinvented the proportional system. Martha was the painter and Walter was the sculptor.
"The sculpture of human form is the metaphor for the human desire to live forever," Martha told me, as we spoke later in the evening. She was telling me how her husband was a genius.
"Don't underestimate yourself and your contributions," I said, gently. She shrugged. But this evening was about her. Sabin introduced her, and it was an intense moment for him, because he got to publicly express his gratitude to someone who had, literally, changed his life. Who had set him on the path he lives. "Martha gave us the manual on how to make awesome, powerful, visceral classical art!" he said, with tears in his eyes.
Noah Buchanan, a painter with a big following in California, also spoke. Noah related some funny anecdotes about Martha's classes, how her words had stayed in the heads of her students who went on to be teachers themselves.
It was a joy to behold the praise being given to a woman who has made such a quiet, fierce contribution to the world, to both the joy and the discipline of art. She's also a beautiful painter. The painting shown above is her "Dream of Eden." | commoncrawl |
ICAO Releases Changes to Business and General Aviation Standards Adopted in 2016
Recently, the Scottsdale Airport Advisory Commissioners wrote the city's Mayor and City Council Members to highlight the "unintended consequences that can arise from the encroachment of residential development near the Scottsdale Airport," a top 50 business aviation airport. The Commissioners cited the current situation at Santa Monica Airport (SMO) in California to illustrate the ramifications of open-ended development near the airport. Airport Advisory Commission Chair, Brad Berry, concluded, "…residential developments do not appear to be slowing down. They are continuing to come…we respectfully ask you to help us preserve this gem in our community for future generations of aviation users and the benefit of our wonderful city."
The Jackson Hole Airport Board owns the Jackson Hole Airport located in Teton County, Wyoming. The Board is soliciting Statements of Qualifications and Experience for its use in selecting a firm or design team to develop and help the Airport Board evaluate options, design, assist with bidding, and perform construction oversight of a new fuel facility on the Airport. This oversight will also include removal of the existing underground general aviation fuel facilities.

August Class Updates
Facilitated Gross Motor Play
Play Ball!
In Gross Motor Play, our Caterpillars practised rolling a ball to their teachers and each other. Instead of following instinct to throw or bounce a ball when they see it, they focused on listening to their teachers' instructions to roll the ball instead.
Sensory Art
Exploring with Playdoh
A sterile and malleable non-toxic product originally developed as a non-drying alternative to modelling clay, Playdoh's unique texture made it a wacky and wonderful substance for our Caterpillars to tear, pinch, roll, pat poke and make shapes with.
With children along the spectrum sometimes finding it difficult to identify an outlet for overloaded emotions and senses, sitting at a table and spending time exploring and squashing Playdoh acts as a 'stress ball' of sorts to calm down, and provides a fun channel for creativity.
Worksheet Practice
Colouring and Labelling Pictures
In their workbooks this month, children found pictures of animals, shapes and fruits. They filled them in with colours and labelled them according to given instructions, and learned the proper tripod grip to colour and strengthen their fingers. The building of muscles in children's fingers, hands and wrists aids in manipulating small objects.
With colouring and labelling exercising both one's left and right brain, as well as helping build their fine motor skills, our Caterpillars were gainfully stimulated in their Worksheet Practice this August.
Independent Skills
Eating by Myself
Children were taught the proper sitting posture when consuming food, and how to scoop their food to feed themselves their lunch and snacks.
Fine Motor Skills
Savvy Scooping
Children learnt to make use of an assorted variety of scoops, spoons and containers to securely scoop items such as beans, macaroni, marbles and liquid into different containers to train their fine motor skills. The transfer of objects and liquids with minimal spillage trains their hand-eye coordination and focus, and strengthens the grip in their hands.
Cognitive Development
Understanding the World around Me
This August, we fixed puzzles, traced numbers in the sand, and mimicked the actions of our teachers. We also matched emoticons to their labels to better identify how people around us express their feelings.
With children along the spectrum for autism sometimes experiencing the world differently than the neurotypical population, it may be because they do not recognise and the facial expressions of others, making it difficult for them to get a read on the emotions of others. To help deal with this battle, we provided visual aids in the form of emoticons.
An Introduction to Instruments and How to Play Them
We explored the different ways of making and producing sound using instruments. With the help of the teachers at Quinn, the Caterpillars learnt to manipulate instruments and blow, tap or shake them to make music. | commoncrawl |

Gadre, Shridhar R and Kulkarni, Sudhir A and Suresh, CH and Shrivastava, Indira H (1995) Basis set dependence of the molecular electrostatic potential topography. A case study of substituted benzenes. In: Chemical Physics Letters, 239 (4-6). pp. 273-281.
Basis.pdf - Published Version Restricted to Registered users only Download (612kB) | Request a copy |
The basis set dependence of the topographical structure of the molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), as well as the effect of substituents on the MESP distribution, has been investigated with substituted benzenes as test cases. The molecules are studied at HF-SCF 3�21G and 6�31G** levels, with a further MESP topographical investigation at the 3�21G, double-zeta, 6�31G*, 6�31G**, double-zeta polarized and triple-zeta polarized levels. The MESP critical points for a 3�21G optimized/6�31G** basis are similar to the corresponding 6�31G** optimized/6�31G** ones. More generally, the qualitative features of the MESP topography computed at the polarized level are independent of the level at which optimization is carried out. For a proper representation of oxygen lone pairs, however, optimization using a polarized basis set is required. The nature of the substituent drastically changes the MESP distribution over the phenyl ring. The values and positions of MESP minima indicate the most active site for electrophilic attack. This point is strengthened by a study of disubstituted benzenes.

My style icon is the British fashion stylist Camilla Nickerson. She dresses like no one else – I admire the way she mixes things up – and is effortlessly elegant and cool; even the natural way she wears her hair is refreshing.
The best gift I've given recently was a vintage cigarette box designed by Fulco di Verdura for the American singer-songwriter Cole Porter. This was a special gift to my partner that I bid for at auction and it sits on the table in our library. Sotheby's, 1334 York Ave, New York, NY 10021 (+1212-606 7000; www.sothebys.com).
And the best gift I've received recently is a neon artwork created for me for my birthday by my design studio. It reads "Collaboration. Innovation. Fearlessness": all principles and ideas we value at Calvin Klein, and it hangs in a very special place in my office.
If I had to limit my shopping to one neighbourhood in one city, I'd choose downtown Manhattan. I love Wyeth for mid-century-modern furniture, Space NK for potions and lotions, and a wonderful food emporium called All Good Things for stocking up on cut flowers, freshly baked bread and great coffee. All Good Things, 102 Franklin Street (+1212-925 5081; www.allgoodthingsny.com). Space NK, 99 Greene Street (+1212-941 4200; www.spacenk.com). Wyeth, 315 Spring Street (+1212-243 3661; www.wyethome.com).
The books on my bedside table are Rachel Zoe's Living In Style: Inspiration and Advice for Everyday Glamour and Laura Lima, Ronald Duarte's fascinating look at the mixed-media work of this Brazilian artist. My stack of reading material changes frequently, though, and might also include catalogues from the Wright Auction House, which highlights the best in contemporary design, and always FT Weekend.
The beauty staples I'm never without are Dr Bronner's all-natural Organic Citrus Conditioning Hair Rinse, which isn't particularly fancy but I love it, plus the brand's coconut oil, which I use for everything from softening my skin to brushing my teeth and gargling. It takes all the toxins away. Organic Citrus Conditioning Rinse, $10 for 8fl oz; Virgin Coconut Oil, $12 for 14fl oz; www.drbronner.com.
The last item of clothing I added to my wardrobe was a full white-tie ensemble that I designed for this year's Met Ball. Everyone looked so spectacular that night, and I hope I'll have another occasion to wear this suit again soon.
An unforgettable place I've travelled to in the past year is Cambodia. It is simply extraordinary, from Siem Reap and the spectacular Angkor Wat, to the delicious food and sheer force of nature I witnessed everywhere I went. My stay at the stellar Amansara – a very cool mid-century structure transformed into a luxury hotel – was particularly memorable. It once served as the King of Cambodia's guest villa, and Jackie Onassis visited in the 1960s. From $1,100; Road to Angkor, Siem Reap (+85563-760 333; www.amanresorts.com).
An object I would never part with is a Lucio Fontana lithograph that was the first piece of art I ever bought. I discovered it in Milan – during a time when I was living and working in London many years ago – and it remains a very special part of my collection.
My favourite room in my house is my library, which gets beautiful morning light and has a soothing atmosphere. I enjoy spending time there alone, surrounded by books from floor to ceiling. It also features a basic, very functional desk and a comfortable sofa of my own design.
The site that inspires me is Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. I love the American west and this area is very rich in natural beauty. The Teton mountain range is particularly breathtaking, with its rock formations, geysers and endless hikes.
The one artist whose work I would collect if I could is Pablo Picasso. He broke all the rules and had a fearless approach to his work. I particularly love his later periods and think that he was a great influence on artists like Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. He fundamentally changed the way we look at art.
The best souvenir I've brought home is a set of little paint vials in very primary colours from Xi'an in China. I went to see the Terracotta Army soldiers at this gorgeous city on the Silk Road and spotted the vials in an art shop nearby. I bought hundreds and had to pay an extra baggage fee to get them home. They are beyond a souvenir to me; I find their pigments very raw and inspiring.
The last meal that truly impressed me was a special breakfast in Cambodia that was served in a simple, local home. We awoke at daybreak to see the sun rise over the temples and were then taken to this very basic wooden shack for kuyteav (noodle soup), fish wrapped in banana leaves and tea. The scent of jasmine was everywhere and the whole meal – and the morning in general – was very purifying.
If I weren't doing what I do, I would be growing vegetables on a farm and living off the land. I find the idea of a simple life very appealing. As a child, I loved to construct things – buildings, gardens, whole environments – so I could also envision being an architect. | commoncrawl |
Home › Making SoupLearning how to make soup – or just brushing up your soup-making skills – is a fantastic idea. Whether you're looking for a light dish to start off your meal, or looking for a main course, cooking soup is a great choice… and you can't get better than a delicious, homemade soup.
Soup for lunch, soup for dinner, or soup as a starter… it's just so versatile!
But even better, soup is great for you. Any good soup starts with a stock. Whether you use a chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, it's packed full of nutrients. And when you're cooking soup, you don't lose a thing – all the nutrients from your ingredients stay right in the pot.
But first, you need to know how to make soup! Well, cooking soup isn't hard at all, but if you want great results, there are a few guidelines to follow.
I'll do quick overview in this article, but you can browse deeper for more details about each step of the process. First, I'll talk about one of the most important parts, and the base of any great soup: stock. Then I'll go over the different types of soups. You'll know how to make soup in no time!
A Great Soup Starts With Stock
First things first: what is stock? Well, it's nothing complicated. It's just the liquid you get when you simmer meat and bones (or vegetables for a vegetable stock) together with aromatic vegetables and seasonings.
Knowing how to make stock is one of the most important parts about knowing how to make soup.
Stock is the base of a soup. It's the liquid part that you cook your meat and vegetables in. When you're cooking soup, start with a great stock. It'll add a lot of depth of flavor to your soup.
You can buy stock in cans or boxes in stores, but believe me, if you have the time at all, it's worth making homemade stock. It takes a bit of time, but almost no effort, and you have full control over what ends up in your stock. You end up with less fat, less salt, and more flavor.
On top of it all, it's a whole lot cheaper. Really, you can't go wrong making your own stock!
If you're not sure how to do it, check out our articles on making your own stock:
- Find out all about making chicken stock in this two-part article:
- If you're making a beef-based soup, you need a beef stock… and homemade is always best. Check out our article on how to make beef stock for more information.
The Different Types of Soup
It might seem like there are too many kinds of soup to count, but actually you can fit almost any soup into one of these categories:
An important part about knowing how to make soup is knowing what type of soup you're trying to make. Once you know that, there are usually just a few guidelines to follow. There's a lot of room for you to improvise when you're cooking soup!
Clear Soup
Clear soups are the simplest of soups. Instead of adding a whole lot of ingredients like vegetables, meat or grains, you focus on the stock itself, by concentrating it even more or getting it to a jelly-like consistency.
Clear soups are simple, but not all of them are so simple to make. You need to clarify the stock and get it at just the right concentration. It can add some challenge – but also some fun – to cooking soup.
Broth, consommé and jellied soups are some examples of clear soups.
Meat And Vegetable Soups
This category covers a whole variety of soups, from chicken noodle to minestrone to borscht to chowders, and many, many more.
For this soup type, you start with a vegetable or meat stock, and add chunks of vegetables, meat, rice or grains, beans or noodles, and spices. Then you just simmer it until all the ingredients are cooked.
The possibilities are almost endless. If you can make a meat and vegetable soup, you already know a lot about how to make soup!
A meat and veggie soup is also a great way to get rid of leftovers… in fact, my parents used to call it a "what's in the fridge soup". Anything goes, so long as you like it! And that makes cooking soup easy.
For more details, check out our article about making a homemade vegetable soup.
Puréed Soups
A puréed soup is just what the name implies. You start with vegetable or meat stock, add some vegetables, and purée the whole thing.
Of course, there's a bit more to making it than that… check out our article on making puréed soups for some tips and tricks to help you get awesome results every time.
Cream Soups
A cream soup is any soup where you thicken the broth with milk or cream. Although it's not something I'd want to eat every day, it's one of my favorite types of soup, like a special treat.
Since the focus of a cream soup is the velvety texture of the liquid, you generally don't have a lot of chunks of veggies or meat in a cream soup. Instead, you'd use a purée or little bits of veggies to give extra flavor.
If you'd like to know more about how to make soup, check out our article on making cream soups. It'll guide you through the process of making any cream soup.
Fish Soups
There are a whole lot of fish soups out there. Actually, some of them could probably fall under some of the other categories. Seafood bisques are cream soups, and chowders are very much like the meat and vegetable soups.
But fish is a little bit special. First of all, it has a pretty distinct flavor that sets it apart from the rest. But it's also a little bit trickier to prepare. Fish doesn't need to cook as long as some of the other parts of the soup, so it needs to be added at just the right time. It makes cooking soup just a little bit more challenging.
Well, that's all about how to make soup. Now you're ready to get started in the kitchen!
These articles should be enough for you to make soup or stock on your own, but if you'd rather start with a recipe, check out our homemade soup recipes. | commoncrawl |

The Logic of iPhone Repairs
One of the most popular smartphones offered now is the iPhone. Not only did it improve the whole smartphone industry it remains to build a strong status as one of the best competitors in the mobile phone advancement to have lengthier lifespans. Even so, investing in the latest iPhone model does not always imply that you are totally free from the usual elements that damage mobile phones. Nothing persists permanently and sooner or later you will have to encounter repairs and parts replacement.
The iPhone and all its included accessories have a one year limited hardware warranty that includes manufacturing flaws starting from the date of purchase. This is why, the most effective solution to select for an iPhone repair is to have it accomplished at the official Apple store. Provided that your gadget is inside the one year warranty period, the necessary iPhone repair is performed by a qualified and certified technician free of charge.
On the other hand, the hardware warranty does not protect harm caused by accidents, human error, or unauthorized modifications. In this case, fix for damages that are not covered with the device warranty can undeniably get very expensive at the authorized iphone store. The good news is, there are a lot of iPhone repair alternatives available.
Dropping the phone is the most typical way for people to harm their iPhone. This is the normal cause for broken LDC screens in iPhones and other smartphones that will require expert handling. After your iPhone screen is broken, your phone could be ineffective as well as unattractive. There are several companies and stores accessible online who are experts in iPhone repairs, no matter if it be for a shattered screen, broken phone camera, or even damaged motherboard. Choosing to visit an iPhone repair shop to carry out your iPhone repair provides speedy excellent support at a less expensive rate.
You can also see a bunch of iPhone parts dealer on the internet. Most suppliers online offer just about every replacement part you need such as LCD screens, iPhone cameras and more. Some iPhone parts dealers have technicians readily available to perform the repair for free once you buy the iPhone replacement parts. Some dealers even offer reconditioned parts from old or broken devices which are generally cheaper.
With iPhone replacement pieces and repair kits offered online, it is also an achievable choice for you to make the repair by yourself. There are a number of iPhone repair and parts replacement video lessons offered in the internet that you can look at for your do-it-yourself iPhone repair. Nevertheless, fixing your iPhone on your own could possibly make more troubles and you'll end up having to spend more.
To summarize, there are many alternatives obtainable if your require assistance in mending your iPhone. It is most effective to completely take into account and fully weigh out the alternatives first prior to deciding on which to consider that would suit your needs in the best way possible.

First of all a big thank you to last week's Guest Blogger Williams Ottens. What great insight and information about how books can broaden our worldview and help us become more inclusive. When I was a kid, like most Community of Christ children I was asked to participate in the worship service by reading a scripture, praying, etc. I tried to get out of doing this because I was shy and disliked being in front of people. Despite my worthwhile attempts, my mother lovingly coerced me to be a participant. I would walk up to the podium, talk until my voice cracked, turn beat red, finish whatever I was saying, sit down, and say to myself and my mother "I'm never doing that again." As you can probably gather, each time was never the last time. However I remember my mother softly praising me after every attempt, putting that little question in my mind "Did I really do ok?" My mother knew that skills and talents are things which are developed. You may not naturally have it but through time and effort skills arise. She seemed to understand the importance of doing things which make us uncomfortable and pushing through the fear that holds us captive. Over many years, my mindset about being in front of others has changed in thanks to the continued experiences I had. We all have natural gifts and talents. Some we know about and others are yet to be discovered. The environments around us play a major role in how we develop our gifts. Churches can play a positive role in gift and skill development however I know for many the church environment has not been a supporting place for this to happen. In fact its been the opposite, something hurtful and counter productive. People have been rejected for trying to share their gifts while others were told they were not good enough. And for some they were never looked at to provide anything past what others already thought they could do. So let's look closer at the various parts that go into using and developing our gifts and talents. What Are My Gifts? Sometimes we do not see the talents and skills we possess. However others can and do. This point is one reason why being a part of a community of people caring about you is imperative. That community is hopefully cultivating those skills from what they notice in you and encouraging you along the way. In a church community gifts are to be used and given to God and others. Not only do you need the community to help you realize your potential but the community needs you and the skills you bring. I think its important to note that these gifts should also be used outside the walls of a church building. If you are curious what some of your strengths may be you can take this free strengths test from high 5 test. You can also read Janet Scarborough Civitelli's article "Strengths Assessment: 10 Ways to Know What You Are Good at Doing." All Are Called The Community of Christ has an enduring principle that All Are Called. This is a belief that everyone is given gifts and talents that can be used to share the peace of Christ in the world. You do not have to be a minister or even church member to use your gifts to provide service. I believe this principle is one reason why so many Community of Christ congregations are led by lay ministers (bi-vocational ministers). It's a belief that everyones gifts are important and should be used to help the church function. It also means Community of Christ congregations seek active participation from its members as they are comfortable. From a skill development standpoint this can be great because it allows us as disciples to actively develop and refine our gifts with encouraging people around us. On the other hand it can cause added stress as we are pushed outside our comfort zone. Bottom line is we each have to decide what we are going to do with the gifts God has given us and the ways in which we can develop them. Rejected! I know some churches only use the best of the best. I get it, they want to create an atmosphere that will pull people into their inner selfs and connect them at a deeper level with the divine. But I also see this leaving a large majority of people to be observers, that are not cultivating their gifts. The debate will continue about what is better for those coming to church. And truly I don't know if there is a right answer but just different expressions based on what people need. I do believe the spirit moves not just based on our talents and how good we are but when we give of ourselves in the moment. If you are a person who has been rejected or pushed out I sincerely hope at some point you find your way back to sharing your gifts in a church community. It can be difficult to risk sharing again. It can be a long process in figuring out what the next steps are. Take your time and find what is right for you. Giftedness and What Really Matters? What really matters is your continued development of gifts to be used in positive ways throughout the world. I believe God sees you in this very moment. I believe God delights in who you are and sees the hidden talent that is waiting to emerge if only you believe in yourself. I believe people are waiting to benefit from your gifts if only you step outside your comfort zone. So don't hesitate but be willing to give of yourself to your community and/or religious organization. Bring positivity, bring joy, and bring the peace of Christ to others. Thank you again for all those following along! This week explore your giftedness by asking someone close to you to identify 5 strengths/ things you are good at.

So on Sunday I got a heartbreaking text from my mother three hours in to my shift. My 14-year-old sister D, tried to kill herself earlier that day. I had no idea things were still so bad with her… I honestly just thought that things were getting better for her, she's been acting so much nicer and hasn't been causing much trouble for our mom. Maybe she's been doing that because she had this planned out, a sudden change in actions or whatever is a sign of suicidal thoughts.
D and I have never really gotten along very well, but she's still my little sister; I watched her grow up from a baby. I'm very upset over this, it ruined my entire day Sunday and yesterday. I just keep thinking about what it would be like if she succeeded, how that would affect my mom, our younger sister A. I really wish I could so something that could help her, but there really isn't much I can do.
She called me yesterday before I had to go to work, we talked for maybe like 10-15 minutes. She sounds so tired and sick… It really freaked me out, she's never been like that, she's always been loud and noticeable. She sounded as if there were more than two people in the room with her she'd completely disappear in the background. That's so not her, she's not like that, but it seems like things gotten so bad for her that she is like that now… It's so weird seeing her like this, even as a baby she's been out there.
When I talked to her, she told me some of the reasons she did try to kill herself… One is because she's jealous that my mom and I are both in relationships with men that love us. I think that is a little ridiculous, she's only 14, a freshmen in High School, she shouldn't be worrying about that stuff yet. She should be focusing on school, especially since she's always said that she wants to be a lawyer. She also said it's because she's failing, and will have to repeat her freshman year next school year. That's literally her fault though, because she doesn't do her schoolwork because she's too busy talking to boys and having sex with boys. (Now I'm all for knowing who you are sexually, and doing as you please sexually. I just… She's only 14, and she's had sex with more people than I have at my age now; and I've had my fair share of sexual partners after I was raped.) She's also said it was because some girls from school were bullying her; for sleeping with one of their friends boyfriends, knowingly.
I'm not trying to make her seem like some whore and/or saying that she's being over dramatic. I understand that stuff like that can make life very hard, and make you hate yourself, I know I hate myself all the time when I think about all the people I've slept with, that isn't my fiance. It's just the way she said it all, she made it sound as if it's everyone else's fault, that she didn't bring any of this on herself. I obviously haven't said anything of this to her, I've only said this to my fiance and to you guys reading this. I love my sister more than anything, I just want her to be happy with herself, and to do things that are going to benefit her in the future. I also don't want her to make the same mistakes I made, because I know how damaging all that can be to your self-esteem. I just really hope she can get through this, I'm so heartbroken that she's going through this at such a young age…
D is currently in the hospital. When I talked to my mom she said that D will be going into an inpatient program. I honestly think mom should have sent her to one a while ago, she's been having problems for over a year now. This was bound to happen, at least she's getting help now though. I'm really hoping that this does help her, and that this doesn't happen again. I honestly believe that she does try again, she wont fail, cause she'll know what doesn't work and find something that will. I don't want her to die, she deserves to have along life, she just needs to better herself a little and learn how to be happy without the approval of boys.
The way she did it though, I have a feeling that she got the idea from 13 Reasons Why. Both the book and the movie. A few years ago I bought the book for her as a Christmas gift, because she was showing interest in it and I found it at the Thrift Store for only 25 cents. She just recently read the book then watched the show, and then a few days later she tries to kill herself by swallowing a bunch of pills AND cutting herself? I don't think its a coincidence at all. The thing is though, my mom doesn't pay much attention to my sisters anymore. So I'm not sure if I should say something to her about it or not. I mean, there is a possibility that I'm wrong. Then again, there's a really high chance that I'm right, it just seems to make sense, with the timeline and everything.
One thing that really worries me about this is, I tried to kill myself around 15-16. I wasn't as successful, my family didn't even find out until very recently when I told my fiance. Now D tried to kill herself at 14, and she got really close to succeeding.. What about my youngest sister A? Depression runs in our family, we have a few family members who've also tried to kill themselves, and a few that did. A is only 11 years old.. Just thinking about her doing something like that terrifies me… She's such a sweet little girl, what if she ends up having depression? She already has bad anxiety… Guess the best we could do is just keep an eye on her and hope that it skips her… | commoncrawl |
#MeToo global campaign resonates with Indigenous women and the frontline shelters of domestic violenceABC Alice Springs Emma Haskin
The Alice Springs Women's Shelter has adopted the global #MeToo campaign, highlighting the record levels of sexual assault and violence that central Australian women live with on a daily basis.
The campaign gained global notoriety on social media in October when famous Hollywood actresses stood-up against sexual harassment and violence in the film industry, leading to the downfall of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Di Gipey, the CEO of the Alice Springs Women's Shelter, said she had followed the campaign since its inception and has now proactively adopted #MeToo to coincide with Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April.
"It's incredibly important that people understand that for so long we have lost voices within the Aboriginal women's sector," she said.
"We want to raise those women's voices and we want to give a voice for Aboriginal women who want to have that voice as well.
Referrals to the Alice Springs Women's Shelter have recorded a significant increase in women needing assistance.
"From December 1 to February 14 there was an increase of 250 more referrals than for the same period last year," Ms Gipey said.
She said not all women fully understood the context of #MeToo.
"So what we hope to do throughout the month of April is to provide education and support so that we can raise that awareness … throughout central Australia."
Furthermore, she wants to highlight Indigenous women's experience for the rest of the world.
"It goes deeper than being sexually harassed. Many are sexually assaulted and sexually abused," she said.
"A part of domestic and family violence is also non-consensual sex in marriage, in relationships. So it goes so much deeper. I think that what we want to do is bring the knowledge out that none of it is acceptable, on any level.
Kerrie, an Indigenous Alice Springs woman, acknowledged the differences between the origins of the campaign in Hollywood and the economic disparity of local women, but hoped the #MeToo campaign could bring grassroots issues to a global stage.
"We're far removed geographically, economically. However women are women and it's happening all over the world," she said.
"I've also been a victim of family violence myself and I have a daughter that has been a victim of family violence, and also sexual assault. So I feel really strongly about the campaign."
Shame to talk about violence
The Central Australian Aboriginal Family Legal Unit deals with the consequences of high levels of violence within the community.
According to Phynea Clark, the CEO of the unit, violence against women is increasing due to factors such as the escalation of alcohol use in the community.
"Well they've had enough of what's happening and they want the violence to stop," Ms Clark said of the campaign.
She said speaking about violence is not only confronting but a complicated topic for their clients, given that many women have experienced multiple assaults but are utilising the service for just one.
"There are many barriers that our women still face today. Some of the barriers, like language, with whichever service the client or the individual presents," Ms Clark said.
"It's a very sensitive area to speak about. It's always 'a shame job' as well. It shouldn't be happening in any of our communities." | commoncrawl |

Rep. Robert Matzie June 25, 2024 | 4:29 PM
HARRISBURG, June 25 – The state House Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities Committee today unanimously approved legislation that would allow Pennsylvania to gain regulatory control over the carbon capture process, Committee Chair Rob Matzie announced.
Matzie said the process – aimed at reducing the impact of CO2 emissions – captures those gases at the source and injects them through specially designed wells into deep underground rock formations in a procedure known as geologic sequestration.
"This is a good bill for PA workers, the economy and our environment," Matzie said. "Carbon capture can reduce CO2 emissions, support our entry into other clean technologies like hydrogen hubs, create jobs and generate new investments. Right now, however, the federal government is in charge of issuing permits for carbon capture projects. Other states have started taking the initiative and applying to the EPA to gain the power to regulate those projects, and it's time for Pennsylvania – as an energy leader – to join them. This bill will start the ball rolling."
Matzie said the legislation (S.B. 831) would direct the state to apply to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for primary enforcement authority over carbon dioxide underground injection wells, also known as Class VI wells.
The bill, which was approved today with an omnibus amendment offered by Matzie, passed the state Senate in April and now heads to the full House for consideration.
Matzie's comments on the hearing are available here: 062524 Consumer Protection VOSOT.mp4

Russia's Gazprom submits gas hub concept to Türkiye
REGION 09 June 2023 - 13:09
The Russian company Gazprom has submitted to the Turkish side a concept for creating a gas hub, which formulates the parameters and principles of its operation, according to the annual report of the corporation.
"Since October 2022, PJSC Gazprom jointly with its Turkish partners has been working on the issue of creating a gas hub in Türkiye. The Russian side has presented its concept of creating a gas hub, parameters and principles of its operation," Gazprom's annual report reads, excerpts from the document are quoted by Interfax.
The project of creating a new gas cluster is being prepared by Gazprom and Turkish Botas in the shortest timeframe possible. According to Ankara, the hub will be created in Rumelia (Thrace) near Türkiye's borders with Greece and Bulgaria.
In October 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin took the initiative to lay additional gas pipelines from the Russian Federation to Türkiye along the bottom of the Black Sea, as well as to create a gas hub on the EU border, which could become an alternative to other centres for determining the price of gas in Europe.
Türkiye is home to seven international natural gas pipelines and one of the ways Russian gas reaches Europe is through the dual TurkStream natural gas pipeline. With a total capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters (bcm), each line has an annual capacity of 15.75 bcm.
The European Union, which previously turned to Russia for about 40 per cent of its gas needs, is seeking to wean itself off Russian energy following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

This is a very classy look. And the best part is that it could not be easier to make. The directions are straight forward and easy as can be. You can change it up too. Try a silver chain with silver or grey ribbon. That would be an entirely different look.

Sometimes you just have to go out and look at the stars. Sure, you could do that to relax, but right now we need to give the heavens a quick check to see if the Earth has been sucked through a wormhole and into an alternate universe.
Why? Because it's sure looking like we're in a some kind of bizarro world where the authoritarian left loves guns. Check this out that's making its way around the Twitterverse . . .
In the space of just a few years, Occupy Democrats went from "no one needs an AR-15" to "Ukraine is handing out guns and we're all about it!" Before you think this a fluke, here's another recent example:
BREAKING: A pizza shop owner in Kyiv is giving out free pizzas to any Ukrainian who shows that they have a gun to fight the Russian invaders with. RT IF YOU STAND WITH UKRAINE!
— Occupy Democrats (@OccupyDemocrats) February 25, 2022
If you or I carry a gun into a restaurant, we're paranoid wackos. Maybe even insurrectionists. Because all gun owners are just itching for Donald Trump to assume his rightful place as dictator. But, if you're far away from America and you're fighting an invading force, different rules apparently apply. Guns are now good.
But Seriously, Though . . .
As fun as it is to make fun of twits like Occupy Democrats right now, it's important to point out why this is happening and find something useful we can learn from it.
First, it's important to point out that Ukraine's gun laws aren't as strict as most of Europe, but they're nowhere near as gun-friendly as we enjoy here in the United States. Before the current conflict, a "may issue" license was required for all gun ownership, meaning that only people the government liked could get permission.
At age 18, you could get a license for an air rifle. At 21, you can get a smooth-bore gun. At age 25, rifles with a maximum magazine capacity of ten rounds are allowed. All guns must be locked up and unloaded when not at the range, even in people's homes.
Things changed a lot starting last year, though. Reserve forces grew and reactivated as the country faced a growing threat from Russia. In other words, Ukrainian civilian gun ownership started to appear in the American media, but most of the people shown with rifles were actually reservists or otherwise working for the military in some capacity.
It was only after the invasion that things suddenly changed for civilian gun ownership. On February 23rd, a declaration of emergency and a quick change to the law allowed civilians to carry firearms they owned for personal defense, both inside and outside their homes. Next, Ukraine's forces started handing out guns to civilians who didn't have their own, with an estimated 18,000 rifles delivered as of the 25th.
How This Is Helpful, And How It Isn't
Like the United States, Ukraine has the benefit of a large number of experienced combat veterans. Past and ongoing conflicts with Russia and Russian-speaking separatist forces haven't given the country much of a break. While many of them have moved on and taken up other careers, Ukraine was able to call many of them back into service, while others volunteered for it. Handing out guns to these "civilians" isn't what it sounds like at first glance, and has proven to be extremely helpful at combating the Russian advance.
But, we know that it wasn't just combat veterans who received the rifles and ammunition. Some really were civilians in the fullest sense of the word, with no combat or military experience before this week. A person with a rifle, even inexperienced, can do some good, but it can't do nearly as much good as someone with even a little training. Ukraine's military knows this, and they're reportedly trying to train these inexperienced civilians as quickly as possible.
In the end, Occupy Democrats proves that they really don't know as much as they think they do (as usual). Instead of being a serious force multiplier, arming civilians proves to be a big chore with less bang for the buck than many think. Sure, it's better than nothing (which is basically what they are getting from Biden), but it's nowhere near what it could be if there had been some foresight.
If anything, other countries (like Taiwan, Korea, and Japan) should be looking at Ukraine and rethinking their defensive strategy. America probably isn't going to be there to help like they'd hoped when things go down. Instead of trying to arm civilians at the last minute after the situation goes sideways, they should be actively working to get their civilian populations at least a little bit of training now. Before a crisis happens.
That, however, requires trusting the population and respecting their right to the tools of armed self defense. And that's a step many governments aren't willing to take.

Angel in the Maze
Chapter 11
Nagy's party machine
This is it. Calvinus is really going downhill. He can barely sit up now, and the times at which he makes any kind of sense are few and far between. His intellect still frightens Nagy when he's sane, but most of the time he's a vegetable, a second child, shrieking nonsense in the dark of his bedroom where the curtains stay closed in broad daylight and it stinks of stale cigarettes and horrible medical chemicals and uneaten food, a sad, mad place. He looks like a skull, his skin is grey and kind of blotchy where the mercury has stuck inside little veins and blocked them. His eyes are humongous, discoloured, rheumy. He smells terrible – like he died already and no one's noticed yet. Nagy's made up some vague story about trying to find out who the poisoner is, but Calvinus was lying staring at the wall when he told him and Nagy's sure it didn't even register. Not much does these days. Nagy left him quietly, when it happened, and slipped out back to HQ. Even with his new-found hate of the Architects and their burgeoning regime, Nagy actually prefers being at HQ than in Calvinus's house; at least the people there are alive and healthy, if not exactly sane. The place is literally overflowing; even though Cephall and the Reconstruct project have moved out to their original site, the old community centre, both buildings are bursting at the seams with new recruits, old recruits, bright young zealots fresh out of tech college, full-timers, part-timers, clever workers, thick workers who they've got doing all the grunt jobs, foreign workers; they've got a Legrady electrical engineer called Karel, who joined them out of the blue and rarely ever speaks, but when he does it's pearls of wisdom, especially to the trainee engineers. Ramir's talking about putting him on the staff cause he's so good at what he does. Nagy doesn't see him a lot, but he seemed nice, if awkward, when they met. One evening Nagy gets back from his babysitting duties to meet Dane barrelling down the corridor; the boy crashes into him and they both go sprawling.
'Whoah, Dane, watch where you're going! What's the hurry?' Nagy reprimands, rubbing the back of his head where it hit the floor. Dane gets up, blushing.
'We gotta message from Unit Vagus he says he ain't coming back but he done everything he was sposed to and he's not gonna tell no one about what he done – '
'Ok. I'll see what's going on. Next time, take a deep breath and calm down before you start talking, alright? It's not a race.'
Dane has already hurtled off round the corner. Nagy shakes his head.
Vagus says he won't tell anyone. Yeah, Vagus says. Great words to base your political future on, Nagy.
He knows it means they're going to get away with it, he's got a feeling. He doesn't really care any more; he knows that the only thing that will happen is more of the same, but harder and more tedious with the added stress of trying to win the election.
Ramir's going to rule you; why not let him do all the work for your campaign? He obviously wants it done his way.
There's no point trying to wrest the control from control-freaks. If they want all the extra work, well, let them have it and good luck to them because they go insane in the end. Nagy wishes he hadn't thought that when he sees poor wasted Calvinus in his mind's eye. He was the original control freak in politics, the workaholic, sleepless and iron.
You know what he used to say; if you want something done properly, fire the idiot who's on the job and do it yourself.
Nagy, be the idiot, admit you're an idiot and Ramir will do everything.
It's quite strange, really, knowing that they're so dependent on Vagus's scribbled little missive being the truth. He could tell anyone and they'd be arrested before you could say 'Wasn't me', but they've heard nothing yet. Orders are, get on with your usual work, ignore what's going on now and concentrate on what's going to happen once we're in power. Nagy wonders at the wisdom of that, that a political party can shut itself off from the world at a time of crisis and not look a bit suspicious. Calvinus thinks so; he probes Nagy whenever he's sane about the Science institute and its resident conspiracy-theory, Dr Larken. Nagy, terrified at those bloodshot, sickly eyes boring their way into his, rambles quasi-vaguely about Larken but he's careful not to give too much away. He doesn't know what his pretence is like. Poor, probably.
Letting the Regime down again. You're not good enough for the Creator.
That's what they'll say to me before they Reconstruct me for my sins and failings.
What kind of time is Nagy living in, that he can be frightened of his own thoughts? Of the people he works with, of eyes watching him for signs of weakness all the time. This sense that he's constantly on trial is really getting to him; that's what he hates most about the Architects. The pressure to outdo each other, where the losers get a 'talk' with Ramir where they come out having aged about fifty years; everyone competes increasingly hard, just to avoid the weekly bottom spot. It's usually some hapless recruit who ends up there, but occasionally one of the staff get in trouble. You never know who it's going to be and your last fervent prayers of the week are 'Please, Creator, say it's not me who's underperformed this week'. Nagy's semi-immune because his work is so different to what the others do; Ramir is reliant on him to explain the situation, and while Nagy's present lot is not exactly wonderful, the liberty he gets as opposed to, say, Einor Lanegan, stuck slaving away on Reconstruct research week after week, is enough to stop him really flipping out, for the moment at least.
One morning he's in Calvinus's room with him as usual, and Calvinus suddenly calls out in a feeble, cracked voice, from his bundle in the corner of the bed. So weak, his request cuts through the dark heat and claustrophobia of his sickroom-deathbed-sanctum.
'Nagy, I'm going. Come here.'
Nagy freezes. The world flips into focus sharper than it's ever been before, one of those moments where the whole of history comes crashing out of the sky and hits you in the face for daring to change it. It's a weird feeling, being such a significant part of a city's immortality, even if it's just for a short while. Being able to say 'I was there, I saw it.'
This is it. He's dying.
He goes over to the bed. Calvinus is barely visible, cocooned in the filthy sheets, the top of his grey forehead and his sick eyes above the hem of a blanket. A claw-hand emerges and it's clutching a bit of paper with wild scribbles all over it.
'Yes, sir? Is there something I can do?'
His voice catches in his throat. He's developed a strange affection for Calvinus, and this undignified end, a last choking, barely audible gasp from the iron tongue of disparaging wit, makes him desperately sad.
'Get someone. Anyone who can write. A witness.'
Nagy suddenly realises what the paper is; it's Calvinus's last will and testament. He doesn't want to see what's in there. If he's made Seneschal then Ramir will be unstoppable, and his vision will steamroller over the city as they know it, Calvinus's city, and it will never be the same again.
Let us fail. Let him name someone else as Seneschal.
I've seen the future and I don't like it. Let it not happen that way.
'Right you are; don't go anywhere yet,' he gabbles and sprints out the door. Some gormless clerk is passing; Nagy grabs him before he can protest and hustles him inside. He sees the man's wide, white moon-face screw up at the smell of dying Calvinus.
'Quick, Nagy,' croaks Calvinus, shoving the will into Nagy's hand with a burst of surprising strength-of-the-desperate. 'I don't have long.'
'What do I do?'
'Make him sign it then sign it yourself,' he whispers. Nagy's so nervous he can barely think straight, but he shakes the clerk's shoulder and thrusts the paper at him, grabs a pen from Calvinus's desk and forces it into the clerk's damp inky hand.
'Sign the bottom line where it says Witness, quickly.'
Nagy nearly kills the man. He grabs him by the front of his shirt and shouts,
'What do you mean, why? You're a clerk, aren't you? You know much more about this kind of thing than I do! Sign the damn thing or he'll die without a legal testament – for fuck's sake, just sign it! Now!'
He lets go and the clerk scurries to do it. There, one swift, neat signature on the line that says Witness. Easy as that, but there have been so many dead Seneschals who never had such luck. Their wills were illegal, and what came after was not politics so much as small-scale warfare, a vicious, backstabbing power struggle. They've avoided that, and Nagy did it the fair way: he got it signed, he signed it himself, even though he didn't know what it said. It's law, he doesn't know it and it's going to affect him. If he's named as Seneschal he can't refuse.
'Now stay here and shut up,' Nagy snaps at the clerk. He turns back to Calvinus who has sunk with a sort of final relief on his face.
'Nagy,' he says faintly. Nagy bends down next to him.
'Yes, sir?'
'You know what I have given you, don't you?'
Nagy bites his lip. He wants to scream, No, why have you done this to me? I can't have what you're giving, it's all going to go wrong. You've come all this way and still fallen in the trap we set for you. The only one you never saw coming, the only one there was.
Oh for God's sake, Nagy, be a man about it. Take what you're given and make it yours.
'Yes, sir. Thank you,' he says stiffly.
'Look after it, won't you? Don't let Larken get you too.'
The man's breath squeaks and rattles in his hollow body. The poison's eaten him from the inside, it ate his mind and ravaged his anatomy. He shuts his eyes and something goes from the room. It takes Nagy a minute, then it registers. They've killed him. Nagy has actually been part of the scheme to kill a man outright to achieve an end.
'Is he dead?' asks the clerk.
'Go away. Get out of here and tell the world.'
I hope no one ever finds out about what we did to you. What God did to you.
'I'm sorry,' he says quietly to the man-thing on the bed. If he thinks hard he can imagine the curt reply, oh, never mind that now, just shut up and sort it out.
'Well, Architects, this is indeed the day we make history. Unit Murat is the new Seneschal of Northbridge,' Ramir announces at the whole-Order meeting that night. The crowd are quiet at first, faces turn and enquire of each other, then it hits them all at once, all the work they've done, all the posters they've stuck and the slogans they've said and the relentless campaigning always afraid of Security, always looking over their shoulder for the rival party or the heavy hand of the law: no more of that. They've won, they've got absolute control of the city. They've broken through the centuries of corruption. They're Nagy's party machine, and Ramir's, and the Creator's.
Nagy, sitting there on the stage, feels a surge of pride, despite the events of earlier, as after a shocked silence, the hall finally erupts with applause and shouting. And heavier than the pride is the responsibility that settled around his shoulders when he read Calvinus's testament, which is still unbearably bulky and new and he doubts he'll ever get used to the feeling. But the ordinary Architects don't know that; they don't know that he's not as avid as they are to follow every word Ramir has fed them in his power-sweet rhetoric. The hall's absolutely rammed with the grassroots. The meeting is in the warehouse today, in a huge open space on the ground floor which is usually full of engineering things, big half-finished structures with cables and wires and bits of metal trailing. Karel works here with the tech students, it's become his territory and theirs. They're at the back now, sitting and standing all over the entrails of their latest project.
'Under the new Architect Regime this day will be declared Official Holiday of the Creator; the day in which we began the construction of the new life, under His divine leadership. This is the ultimate proof that sheer industry and determination yields the best results, units. Look on what you have achieved here as the role-model for every goal in your life as an Architect, and you cannot but follow the Well-Paved Way with truly iron-shod feet. You will be perfect, my Units, flawless, efficient, unstoppable. And you will love your beautiful new city with the joy only visual, aesthetic precision brings. Unit Ackermann!'
Karel the Legrady waves from the back of the hall where he's perched on his machine with the students. He's a tall spare man, sort of stringy. He looks like he was born to wear overalls and engineer's boots; they're a second skin on him. He's got curious hair: almost blood-red, thick and straight and jaw-length with streaks of grey, and a neat pointed beard of the same colour. Prominent cheekbones, stern blue eyes in a pale skin.
'Yes, Leader?' he calls.
'Would you and Unit Lanegan please present your Blueprint for a city-wide electricity grid? Units, this is the first thing we will do as the ruling party of Northbridge – is it not, Seneschal Murat?'
'Indeed, Leader, that is the blueprint. Among many others, of course.'
Karel has made his way to the stage now and he and Einor are unrolling an enormous blueprint on a reel. Karel goes up the gantry at the side of the stage and hangs the top of the blueprint to the ceiling. It's fantastically complicated, beautifully drawn and completely incomprehensible to most people in the audience; there's an excited gasp all the same when they read it, City-State Electricity Network.
'Take us through the proposal, Units.'
Ramir stares at Einor, who blushes and looks at Karel. Karel smiles.
'Right, I start at the beginning: the title. Sorry my General is so poor, I only came from Legrad two month ago – but I try very hard for you. Okay, State Electricity Network is meaning basically, every place in Northbridge to have electricity provided by plants that the government own and state workers run.'
He reaches a lean hand up and indicates the main drawing, and everyone can see how much he really knows as he begins to talk about it. How much he loves what he's doing, what he's capable of. His voice is full of energy; it's not the nasal drone of Einor or the twang of Tyndell or the dry, snappy cadence of Nagy. Although his speech is clumsy and his accent prominent, the Order listen to him like one great big pair of ears on stalks. He's one of those presenters who understands what he's talking about so well that he, the man, fades into the background and the ideas shine through him like he's made of glass. Fantastic ideas, futuristic, high and fast and rocket-science. Difficult, of course; many faces are confused, even Einor's when it comes to a certain bit. This is the future Ramir has promised them, and eyes turn to Ramir as if to say, My god, he really meant it, he's giving us what he said he would.
'There, you see?' Karel finishes, pulling the bottom of the blueprint. It rolls up with a neat snap like a blind. 'It is possible and we can do it if we work very hard. Having so much to do now means we get it right for the future and we can enjoy what we have done, no worries for how it will not work. Thank you for your attention.'
Loud, enthusiastic applause, particularly from the back of the hall where Karel's techie students are glowing with the force of the ideas. They can't wait to get out there and start building. Ramir shrugs expansively.
'Well, what can I say? The future really is in our hands, Units. Which leads me very neatly on to my next address: the structure of this Regime. Nagy and I have had long discussions about this and we have decided that it is best for him to tell you, as the political controller of this side of things.'
Mihan, watching Ramir, notices a faint flicker of anger in Ramir as he says this; the man's eyes dart to Nagy, who looks that kind of charmingly embarrassed when you know he's not really and he's loving the attention. Nagy stands up.
'Well, my display is less impressive than Unit Ackermann's, but I have done my best.'
He goes to the big drawing board on a stand at the side, and pins up a long sheet of paper with columns and things on it.
'There is no point in us all doing little tasks here and there; that only leads to a sort of dogsbody-ism which is hardly becoming for the Architects of the future. Instead, the Leader and I have come to the decision, now we are in power, to centralise the Architect Regime here, in this building which has become our spiritual home. As you know, there are at present rough divisions of labour in this Regime, with Karel and Einor in charge of engineering, Mihan in charge of propaganda, Cephall with the medics and so on, with the Leader the keystone of all these arches, naturally.'
Nagy's neat analogy draws smiles from the crowd but Ramir does not smile. It seems that this proposal is more Nagy's idea than Ramir's, or perhaps Ramir wishes it was his. Nagy continues.
'This regime is going to be huge, because it's not a government, it's a society. Just as in today's society, everyone has a job – well, the majority of people have jobs, and they're a fixed affair. We have come to the conclusion that a programme where everyone has a set role and knows what they're doing, is more efficient than simply doing whatever task there is, in a completely unsystematic way. This is far too big an institute to be as haphazard as that, so what the Leader and I propose is this.'
He goes over to his paper and points at the row of columns at the top.
'The set-up we've got is to be formalised: departments here at HQ who will be part of a city-wide board. Labour management, that's going to be Unit Lanegan's department. Mechanics and engineering, that's yours, Unit Ackermann: heavy workload but I'm sure you'll cope. Coordination and resources management will be Unit Tyndell. Administration and clerical, Unit Antira. Recruitment and martial operations will be Unit Cave. Unit Igrain, Propaganda, obviously. Lastly, Biomedical and Chemical Research will be run by Unit Cephall. I will be directing the political and legislative side of things for the time being, but my role as city governor will gradually become obsolete. The Leader will be the true controller of the Regime, and in time people will be able to live solely by his teachings; there will be no need and no room for a political figure such as Seneschal. And that really will be the future.'
Nagy bows to Ramir elegantly and a thin smile flicks across Ramir's face.
'Here is where you come in, Architects, Units, dear components,' Ramir says. 'You are the little wheels in the master machine without which the department leaders, the big wheels, cannot run. Those of you who work full-time here and are affiliated to a department will stay with that department, and the most productive of you will be selected for city-wide positions of responsibility. Anyone who wants to work in a new state factory – and we will need thousands of you if Unit Ackermann's blueprint is to be carried out – please sign the list on the door. Those of you who work in so-called 'lay' factories and would prefer to stay there, I hope you are doing your bit to spread the teachings and processes that are correct and Architect. That is to be your job, and you are part of Labour Management. Creator bless you all, my Units, in your new and useful roles. Next week, the beauty and the mystery of the Reconstruct project will be revealed to you by the Medics.'
The usual eruption of applause. The air crackles with purpose, there's a buzz the like of which has not been there since the very first meeting, when Ramir wooed them with words and blinded them with science. The maelstrom spins faster and faster; the future's coming, flying headlong and the desperate, burning desire of so many in that Regime is to race towards it at equal speed with arms flung wide and eyes open, streaming with wind-tears, embracing as much of its vast splendour as they can reach. So many promises made that night to the Creator are promises to follow the Way to the letter, if only more of this striking vision is revealed to them, if only it works and Northbridge can really become the futuristic paradise they have been shown tantalising glimpses of. It is only Nagy who is afraid of the future as he tries to juggle committees and policy and Ramir and Security and assassins and civil servants, all the nitty-gritty of a job that is full-time as only politics can be. God, the responsibility, it's killing him. He feels terrible that he's allowed this to happen, to get in the mess he's in. It's depressing how little he knows about how to run an entire city, and orders from Ramir start flooding in, new strategies to apply, little changes to the law, things he personally rejects but has to accept all the same. Nagy thinks the same thought over and over again.What the hell am I doing?

Barcelona kept up their unbeaten record in La Liga however drew for the second class diversion in progression as Getafe held the pioneers to a goalless stalemate at the Nou Camp.
The hosts neglected to enlist a shot on focus amid the primary half, when Luis Suarez had an objective accurately precluded for offside.
Getafe goalkeeper Vicente Guaita influenced a fine spare in stoppage to time to avert Suarez heading in a late champ as Barca passed up a great opportunity for the opportunity to re-set up their nine-point lead at the best.
Barca supervisor Ernesto Valverde's group determination saw full debutant Yerry Mina begin nearby Lucas Digne in a new focus back blending that appeared to support the guests.
At an early stage Mina, who made a cameo from the seat in the Copa del Rey on Thursday, was lucky that Amath Ndiaye strayed offside when played in.
The 23-year-old Colombian's brazen begin proceeded as he gave the ball away and had Sergio Busquets to thank for snuffing out the risk as Angel attempted to connect up with Amath.
Barca were attempting to get hold of the challenge, to some degree because of a progression of powerful Getafe difficulties, and Mina was by and by gotten out when he played Angel onside, with the forward's endeavor going barely wide by means of a diversion off the Barca man.

On the stroke of half-time, the home side at long last had the ball in the net when Suarez turned home Lionel Messi's free-kick just for the collaborator arbitrator to effectively run the Uruguayan offside.
Suarez communicated his dismay with the choice yet could have no objections as the two sides achieved the interim without an objective.
It was the first run through in six years that Barca had neglected to enlist a shot on focus in the opening portion of a LaLiga diversion at the Nou Camp.
Philippe Coutinho, who had been to a great extent unknown in the principal time frame, at last gave goalkeeper Guaita a comment with right on time in the second half with a well-struck shot that was easily spared.
Suarez at that point approached with an extending endeavor from Paco Alcacer's pass that he jabbed barely wide.
Getafe were representing a risk on the counter, however, and when Mina ventured in to clear for a corner after Marc-Andre ter Stegen was gotten out of position, Vitorino Antunes lashed a volley off focus from the set piece.
With Barca looking shy of thoughts, Valverde pulled back Coutinho and Alcacer for Andres Iniesta and Ousmane Dembele soon after the hour check.
Messi won a free-kick from a Faycal Fajr foul at the same time, on his 300th appearance at the Nou Camp, the Argentinian sent his attempt over the best.
Mina's stature was a weapon from set pieces as he headed a Messi free-kick directly at Guaita before gesturing another endeavor wide from a corner.
Getafe expedited previous Arsenal and Crystal Palace midfielder Mathieu Flamini for Angel with 12 minutes to go trying to finish off the diversion and they were obligated to their goalkeeper for some great late spares.
Guaita frustrated Messi from short proximity and afterward a similar player from farther before splendidly tipping a Suarez header over the best in stoppage time.
Barcelona Held At Home By Getafe As Unbeaten Streak Proceeds
Barcelona kept up their unbeaten record in La Liga however drew for the second class diversion in progression as Getafe held the pioneers to a goalless stalemate at the Nou Camp. | commoncrawl |

Executor Advice
The legal side of executorship
Although you don't need to have specific legal knowledge to be an executor, you nevertheless need to take care when taking on the role, as you can be found personally liable, should you not carry out the probate process properly.
Your first action should be to ensure that any valuables, including the deceased's home, continues to be fully ensured during this time in case of accident or intentional damage.
Secondly, it is always advisable to use the services of professional probate valuers to ensure that whatever is sold, is done so at a reasonable cost, ensuring that beneficiaries are left with as much of the estate as possible.
Remember that all debts must be identified and paid (including Inheritance Tax) before any remaining assets can be distributed.
Always advertise the person's death, so that any potential claimants or creditors can get in contact and any disputes have a chance to be ironed out.
Finally, it goes without saying that you must be able to demonstrate at all times that your actions were carried out in the best interests of the deceased and the beneficiaries, not your own personal gain. | commoncrawl |

TipBetPro 2017 AFL Season Preview
The pre-season is over and the real thing is just one week away. So now is the time when TipBetPro release our season predictions! So, we have to start with a big disclaimer – the TipBetPro model is built for short term week to week predictions and relies heavily on personnel changes and short term form for our success over the years. So, it is not really set up for long term predictions … as regular readers may know from us unsuccessfully tipping Sydney to slide every season! All the same, we're not going to let that stop us from analysing the teams and throwing out some predictions on what the 2017 AFL season will bring.
Predicted 2017 Ladder
Squad Breakdown
Have we got anyone left? I assume by now Sydney supporters are rolling their eyes, Geelong supporters have stormed off and Brisbane & Carlton supports have thought yeah fair enough.
So let's take a look at the sides in a little more detail.
The Team to Beat - GWS
The Giants have a list the envy of any in the competition and are primed to take the competition by storm in 2017. They start the season as comfortably the highest ranked team by the TipBetPro model with 9 Top 100 ranked players and 16 Top 200 ranked players (both competition leading). The Giants midfield not only boasts top tier talent (Callan Ward and Dylan Shiel) but also incredible depth with Tom Scully, Stephen Coniglio, Josh Kelly and Lachie Whitfield poised to break into that elite category. Throw in experienced veterans Ryan Griffen and Brett Deledio as well as versatile midfield/forwards Toby Greene and Devon Smith and you have a midfield that only Sydney can compete with for top tier talent and no-one can match for depth. So do GWS have a weakness around the ground? The answer is an emphatic no. Shane Mumford is one of the league's highest rating rucks and will relish feeding the midfield; Jeremy Cameron, Jonathon Patton, Rory Lobb are a powerful key forward combination and the brilliant Steve Johnson joins Greene, Smith and Deledio as small/medium forwards. Heath Shaw and Zac Williams are amongst the top rated running defenders in the competition whilst Phil Davis is more than capable of doing a shut-down job on opposition forwards. Injuries to key position players was the only factor in our projections model that saw the Giants slip up (55% of our 10,000 simulations had the Giants Top 2, 82% had them Top 4) but otherwise we have no doubt the Giants are the team to beat.
The Main Contenders – West Coast, Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs
West Coast finished Top 2 in 48% of our simulations whilst the Hawks and Dogs achieved the feat 33% of the time as these three sides stood out as the main threats to the Giants in season 2017.
West Coast have a serious challenge overcoming the (likely season-ending) loss of their highest ranked player Nic Naitanui. However, the Eagles have addressed their main concern from last season by boosting their midfield depth with the acquisition of Hawthorn superstar Sam Mitchell. Suddenly a midfield containing Mitchell, Matt Priddis, Luke Shuey and Andrew Gaff is a midfield to be feared – particularly if Lewis Jetta can rediscover form. Up forward West Coast are well stocked with dual Coleman medallist Josh Kennedy heading a forward line that also boasts Jack Darling and veteran Mark LeCras as well as dangerous (albeit inconsistent) small forwards Josh Hill and Jamie Cripps. Defensively the Eagles have enormous key position depth with All Australian Jeremy McGovern having young gun Tom Barrass, former club champion Eric MacKenzie and the versatile Will Schofield all available as alternatives. Skipper Shannon Hurn will lead the drive off the back line and Brad Sheppard, Sharrod Wellingham and Elliot Yeo are more than useful running defender options. The Eagles don't quite have the depth of talent as GWS (13 Top 200 ranked players compared to the Giants 16) but their top end is strong. The Eagles test will be getting improvement from their role players that have perhaps underachieved and are currently ranked outside the Top 200 (Wellingham, Masten, Yeo and Sheppard in particular) and if this occurs they will seriously challenge for a flag.
The Hawks are the most intriguing side and hardest to place. Two of the Hawks superstars in Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis are gone but their effective replacements of Tom Mitchell and Jaeger O'Meara whilst not as highly rated at present, both have an upward projection based on their age/experience which could well see them rated very close to S.Mitchell/Lewis by season end. However, the biggest reason for the Hawks remaining a contender is the return of new skipper Jarryd Roughead. The forward line for the Hawks remains the highest ranked in the AFL with Roughead joining fellow tall forward Jack Gunston and dynamic medium smalls Cyril Rioli, Luke Breust and Paul Puopolo. All 5 of these forwards are rated by TBP in the Top 75 players in the AFL – an achievement that puts the Hawks well ahead of any other forward line. The Hawks midfield is no longer at the level of some of the teams around them but the likes of Shaun Burgoyne, Luke Hodge, Liam Shiels and Isaac Smith as well as T.Mitchell and O'Meara is still more than handy. Defensively, the Hawks are expected to slide a little with Josh Gibson, James Frawley, Ben Stratton and Grant Birchall, whilst highly credentialed players, all on the decline. All up a few holes in the Hawks list but if their new midfielders gel and provide enough opportunities to that irresistible forward line, the Hawks will remain exceptionally hard to beat.
The third of the "main contenders" is the defending premiers the Western Bulldogs. It seems strange to say that we are projecting solid improvement in the Dogs yet have the premiers finishing 4th. It is easy to forget the Dogs were actually 7th on the ladder before their incredible finals series in 2016 and despite achieving the ultimate they are still far from the finished product. At the risk of offending Dogs fans everywhere – the 2016 Dogs were likely the weakest premiership side in modern times … not that it matters, they're still a premiership side! The Dogs strength is unquestionably their depth which has just got better since 2016 with the return of Bob Murphy and Stewart Crameri and the acquisition of Travis Cloke. The Dogs boast 16 Top 200 ranked players – equal to that of the Giants and well ahead of the Eagles (13) and Hawks (12). Only the one genuine superstar (who else but Marcus Bontempelli) at the Dogs but so many players on the bubble of joining that elite category including a hungry midfield group of Luke Dahlhaus, Tom Liberatore, Jack Macrae, Mitch Wallis and Lachie Hunter. Defensively the Dogs aren't rated that high individually but this is certainly a case of the collective adding up to more than the sum of the parts. Easton Wood and veteran Matthew Boyd are the only Top 100 ranked defenders but the damaging Jason Johannisen and perfect role players such as Dale Morris and Marcus Adams still make the Dogs defence a tough one to crack. Up forward is where there are the most question marks for the Dogs. Jake Stringer and Tom Boyd had a tough 2016 but Boyd in particular excelled in finals and perhaps that is the confidence boost they need to increase their output in 2017. If not, Cloke and Crameri are on hand to help out this season and give the Dogs enviable key position depth in a position where they have traditionally struggled. The Dogs won't be favourites to go back to back but they should be up and amongst it once again – and if 2016 is any guide, they only have to be around the place in September to be a serious threat!
Expected Finalists – Collingwood, Port Adelaide, Adelaide and Sydney
Ah we're going to cop some flak for this. In addition to perennially under-rating Sydney in our pre-season predictions, we typically over-rate Collingwood and Port Adelaide. I blame the fact that the "team" factors that go into our weak to weak predictions aren't carried forward in our long term predictions model as we can't pre-empt which sides will have the best defensive structures (inevitably Sydney are exceptionally strong in this department and Port are on the weaker side). Still forgetting all that – let's take a look at the reasons why we expect Collingwood and Port to jump into the Top 8.
The Pies are a side that is teetering between greatness and mediocrity. Only 3 Pies players (Scott Pendlebury, Adam Treloar and Steele Sidebottom) are rated by the TBP model inside the Top 100 players in the competition which is an equal competition low. If the Pies 2nd tier players don't come on there is every chance that the Pies will crash further down the ladder than their disappointing 2016 season (indeed although "on average" we had the Pies finishing 5th, some projections had the Pies falling as low as 17th!). What works in the Pies favour is that many of their 2nd tier players have an upward projection and are expected to be Top 100 players by season end. The likes of Jack Crisp, Taylor Adams, Brodie Grundy and Alex Fasolo are all on the rise whilst there is also class added by more experienced campaigners such as Daniel Wells (if fit!), Jeremy Howe, Travis Varcoe and Chris Mayne. The Pies are strong through the middle (and indeed this drives much of their high rating) and solid down back but the question mark is up forward. A huge scoring load is likely to fall on emerging forward star Darcy Moore, the enigmatic but inconsistent Alex Fasolo and the returning Jamie Elliott which is unlikely to strike fear into opposition defences. Find a forward line that works and make no mistake the Pies will surprise and push Top 4; however, if Moore/Elliott/Fasolo fail to fire, it could be a long year for Pies fans.
Port Adelaide have been one the great under-achievers since their barnstorming run to the Preliminary Final back in 2014. They have the players to improve rapidly in 2017, most notably the return of Paddy Ryder, however Port Adelaide have been a classic example of the whole adding up to less than the sum of their parts in recent years. Port look good on paper. Robbie Gray is a superstar equally damaging in the midfield or up forward whilst Travis Boak, Chad Wingard, Ollie Wines and Justin Westhoff are deservedly top 100 ranked players. Below this group, players expected to take leaps forward have stagnated or gone backwards. Hamish Hartlett has struggled to become the player he looked in his earlier years, Charlie Dixon can tear games apart up forward but very rarely does, Brad Ebert has never really improved after a big first year at Port and Jared Polec epitomises the very definition of inconsistency. All of those players (and a few others) have shown glimpses of being star players and their player rating is high enough from those glimpses to have us predicting a Port rise up the ladder. However, consistency is the key and Port will know as well as anyone from recent years that talent is not enough to succeed in the brutal business of AFL.
Adelaide are a nicely balanced team but their midfield depth just drops them below some of the other contenders. Rory Sloane is a Top 10 ranked player and he is fed by a proven top tier ruckman in Sam Jacobs. After Sloane though, the Crows fall away with their next highest rated midfielders being Scott Thompson who is past his peak and the Crouch brothers (Matt and Brad) who look fantastic but are not quite at their peak yet. The season-ending injury to Cam Ellis-Yolmen further stretches this depth and the Crows midfield group is clearly the lowest rated of our projected Top 8. However, if the Crows midfield clicks (and with the projected continued improvement of the Crouch brothers they just may) – the forward line is one of the highest rated in the competition. Eddie Betts is a superstar and is made even more dangerous by operating at the feet of the immensely talented key position trio Taylor Walker, Tom Lynch and Josh Jenkins. Down back the Crows are well served by the great work from Daniel Talia to restrict the oppositions best forward and enabling the likes of Rory Laird and Brodie Smith to be amongst the best rebounding defenders in the league. The Crows should make the 8 but are perhaps a couple of midfielders short of being a premiership threat.
And finally Sydney – we have them making the 8 this year! The Swans boast a competition high 6 Top 50 players with superstar forward Lance Franklin fed by an amazing midfield including Josh Kennedy, Luke Parker, Dan Hannebery, Jarrad McVeigh and Kieren Jack. When you add in versatile forward/ruck Kurt Tippett, young guns Isaac Heeney and Callum Mills and the ever improving Dane Rampe and you have the makings of a premiership side. However like in previous seasons, we have grave concerns over the Swans depth. The Swans overcame it last year through the incredible break-out seasons of Allir Allir, Tom Papley and Callum Mills. With Tom Mitchell gone and a bit of depth lost in Toby Nankervis, Ben McGlynn and the Richards brothers – the Swans will again be looking for unproven players to step up to remain a premiership contender. The likes of Zac Jones, Daniel Robinson and Brandon Jack will need to improve if the Swans are to repeat their stunning run of 2016 and be there on that last Saturday in September.
Contending for Finals – Gold Coast, Melbourne, St Kilda, Geelong, Essendon, Fremantle
Over our 5,000 simulated seasons, we have less than a game separating these 6 sides when considering average wins over the simulations. All would require a bit of luck with respect to injuries and player development to push for finals but all are good enough if things go their way.
Some quick comments:
Gold Coast – The great Gary Ablett is back, David Swallow is back, Tom Lynch is poised to become the premier key position player in the competition, Steven May is now a premier key position back and Aaron Hall, Touk Miller, Adam Saad, Kade Kolodjashnij and Jack Martin all are starting to show plenty and are projected to improve further. Add in new recruits Michael Barlow, Pearce Hanley and Jarryd Lyons and you have all the ingredients for a huge improvement on 2016.
Melbourne – From a side that not that long ago didn't have a Top 100 ranked player – the Demons now have 6 including elite Top 50 talent in Max Gawn and Nathan Jones. The acquisition of experienced star Jordan Lewis and the impending rise to superstardom of Christian Petracca and Jesse Hogan bodes well for the Demons to continue their progression up the ladder. Defensively, other than Tom McDonald, the Demons are ranked lowly but if they can build a strong defensive structure there is immense midfield talent and enough forward talent for the Demons to return to finals.
St Kilda – The Saints appear to be on the rise but the TipBetPro model still has some question marks over whether the Saints will continue to rise. Jack Steven is a superstar, David Armitage is elite and Jack Newnes is heading that way. However beyond that group there is still too much reliance on veterans Leigh Montagna, Nick Riewoldt and Sam Gilbert (and to a lesser extent experienced duo Shane Savage and Mav Weller) who are not projected to improve further. So if the Saints are to continue to progress look for the next wave of youngsters – Seb Ross, Tim Membrey, Jack Billings and Paddy McCartin to step up to reduce the reliance on the Saints veterans.
Geelong – Easily the most controversial selection to miss the Top 8 is Geelong who we see as our big slider of the year. In 2016, we had our doubts due to the lack of support backing superstars Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood. Well that support network has only got worse with the loss of Corey Enright to retirement and Josh Caddy to Richmond. Tom Hawkins and Cam Guthrie are the only other Cats rated as Top 100 players with Harry Taylor, Mitch Duncan and Steven Motlop just outside. Dangerfield and/or Selwood will win enough games with their own brilliance to keep the Cats as finals contenders but if either of that pair go down watch for a huge Cats slide.
Essendon – The great unknown is how Essendon will perform with so many of their list returning from a year long suspension. The TipBetPro model largely protects the rating of the Bombers players with Jobe Watson and Dyson Heppell coming straight back into the TipBetPro Top 100. The rapid emergence of Zach Merrett, the improvement of Joe Daniher and the discovery of Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti are perhaps an unexpected benefit of having so many players out and with the return of the suspended players we expect Essendon will be highly competitive in 2017.
Fremantle – The last of the finals contenders is Fremantle who should improve greatly from a disastrous 2016. Nat Fyfe, Aaron Sandilands and Michael Johnson all missed large chunks of 2016 and will be back whilst Harley Bennell might join them if he can overcome his calf injuries. Acquiring Brad Hill, Cam McCarthy, Shane Kersten and Joel Hamling improves the Dockers depth and helps to somewhat offset the loss to retirement of the great Matt Pavlich. Things would have to turn around significantly for the Dockers to make the Top 8 but at the very least they would be expected to improve from 2016.
The sliders – Richmond and North Melbourne
We don't have high hopes for the Tigers and Roos and see this pair poised to slip into bottom 4 contention in 2017.
Richmond perhaps have the most potential as, even with the loss of Brett Deledio, the Tigers still have 7 Top 100 ranked players (equal 5th highest in the competition). Josh Caddy and Dion Prestia should improve the Tigers midfield and any side that has Jack Riewoldt and Shane Edwards (and Dustin Martin on occasion) up forward is dangerous. Throw in the competitions highest rated full back in Alex Rance and the top end of the Tigers list still looks good. It is what follows underneath that looks close to competition worst and Richmond will need massive improvement from their 11-30 ranked players on their list if they are to have any hope of making finals.
North have committed to a rebuild following the delisting of club legends Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie and Nick Dal Santo as well as losing Daniel Wells to Collingwood. Todd Goldstein is the only bona fide star left at North Melbourne with Ben Cunnington, Andrew Swallow and Jack Ziebell making for a serviceable but far from spectacular midfield. Expect plenty of kids to be developed at the Roos this season and we doubt they would be surprised or particularly phased if a bottom 4 result occurred provided there is signs of development.
The wooden spoon battle – Brisbane, Carlton
The bottom two sides are clear as day in the TipBetPro model (we still have North and Richmond winning on average around 8 games to be well ahead of this pair). Both sides have just 8 Top 200 players – an equal competition low. So the depth isn't there but neither is the star power with only Dayne Zorko being rated a Top 50 player from the two sides. Development of youngsters for the future is the primary objective for these two sides and that will be reflected in their 2017 win/loss record. | commoncrawl |
Disney+ buys a documentary on 'Wagatha Christie' story
A blockbuster case centered on who got access to a celebrity's Instagram Story will be the subject of a new Disney+ documentary. Wagatha Christie will tell the story of broadcaster Coleen Rooney, who is married to former Manchester United and England soccer superstar (and current DC United coach) Wayne Rooney. After stories of Rooney's life leaked to the press, stories that seemed to be communicated only through private Instagram Stories messages, Coleen opted to do some detective work. After a lengthy investigation, Rooney believes the source of the leaks is Rebekah Vardy, wife of Leicester and former England star Jamie Vardy.
The incident, made fresh and different thanks to social media, was then brought up after Rooney went public that Vardy was the source of the leaks. In a tweet containing a screenshot essay, Rooney explained how she narrowed down the options with a series of fake stories aimed at increasingly small groups of Instagram close friends. The revelation led Vardy to sue Rooney for defamation, but Vardy managed to significantly weaken his case after failing to release the requested data as part of the trial.
(Oh, for those who don't know: WAG is an acronym for "Wifes and Girlfriends", a derisive term used to refer to a soccer player's partners, usually while playing for the team. Agatha Christie is the author of several detective stories, including the Poirot and Miss Marple series. Don't say the British don't love a good pun.)

Strong IoT Security Requires Effective Forensic Analysis Capabilities
Forensic analysis of a cyberattack is complex at the best of times. Even with traditional IT equipment and cloud technologies, collecting forensic information can mean extensive manual data collection and manipulation to unify disparate types of intelligence into a coherent whole. With Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the struggle of collecting forensic information and transforming it into something useful is compounded.
Forensic analysis as a practice also helps security teams evaluate their defenses and discover possible weaknesses in their posture management. Any effective forensic investigation into a cyberattack, whether successful or not, includes that element of evaluation. So it's imperative that there is good data collected from every aspect of the network, including the IoT devices that may stymie investigations because of the challenge of collecting data.
As such, there's a critical need for a solution that can gather data from IoT devices and integrate it into reporting for effective investigation. This has also taken on new importance because of regulatory reporting requirements on security incidents. Unfortunately, gathering forensic data from connected devices is often not that easy.
The Forensic Analysis Challenge for IoT Security
Forensic analysis at a fundamental level is the retrospective examination of security incidents that have already occurred. As part of this process, IT and security teams collect data from their defensive tools and networked systems to understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures that cyberattackers use.
Effective forensic analysis has taken on new urgency in the modern security landscape. There were more than 3,200 data breaches in 2023, according to recent data. Understanding how these breaches occurred and determining ways to prevent them in the future, is the key value of forensic analysis.
Traditional information technology and even cloud-based solutions often provide raw datasets that can be readily uploaded to analytics tools as part of this process. These datasets are not necessarily easy to extract, but they're built to be readily pulled from the tools and used as part of digital forensics.
By contrast, IoT devices do not often provide readily extractable data for analysis. This complicates performing forensic investigations on the connected equipment, as any sort of intelligence must be gathered through alternate tools to understand how an attack that originated in an IoT device proceeded through your systems. Ultimately, the raw traffic generated by a device becomes the only sure dataset from any connected IoT device.
The tooling analyzing these datasets could include tools for anomalous behavior detection, as well as a solution designed to automatically inventory network-accessible devices and determine information about them. This information about IoT devices on your network could include model number, MAC address, and any communication protocol they may be using.
Resolving these challenges has taken on new importance in the wake of regulatory changes to reporting security incidents for public companies.
Regulatory Changes Require Enhanced Forensic Capabilities
In 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released new requirements requiring reporting material cybersecurity incidents to the market. The new rules require public companies to disclose cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K in new item 1.05 and their cybersecurity risk management practices on their annual Form 10-K filing. Foreign corporations who trade securities in the United States aren't exempt from these rules; they need to file the same information on Form 6-K and Form 20-F respectively.
The Form 8-K reporting needs to occur four days after the companies become aware of the incident. Incident notifications issued since the rules took effect on December 18, 2023, have typically taken the form of brief 8-K notices that an incident occurred but the company is investigating further. The notification from UnitedHealth Group about the recent Change Healthcare ransomware attack is one example.
As these rules continue to be enforced, companies will likely seek out ways to provide more effective forensic information to regulators. Large-scale breaches like the Change Healthcare ransomware attack will trigger government involvement and regulator questions. This reality means that organizations need robust forensic analysis capabilities for every piece of their network-accessible infrastructure. This includes IoT devices.
How Asimily Helps Improve IoT Forensic Analysis
The Asimily platform is designed to augment forensic analysis, especially for companies with a lot of IoT devices attached to their network. Asimily does this with a few core capabilities, including:
- Automated inventory creation through passive network traffic monitoring to discover new or unknown IoT devices attached to your systems.
- Anomalous behavior detection can identify when IoT devices are behaving unusually and alert security teams to investigate.
- Onboard Packet Capture makes it easy to capture network packet information on a continuous basis to improve IoT device forensics.
These capabilities of the Asimily platform mean that customers can gather the insight they need from IoT devices to conduct accurate forensic analysis. It doesn't matter if they do the forensic analysis themselves, or through a retained incident responder.
Automatic inventory creation is especially key in the context of digital forensics. Without an accurate IoT device landscape, security teams may not know where an attack originated or how it progressed. Knowing the complete inventory of network-accessible IoT devices and keeping that up to date means that security teams more readily know where to focus their forensic data gathering.
The Asimily anomaly detection engine is designed to automatically detect all traffic to and from IoT devices and track potential suspicious activity. This might include indicators of compromise and attempted breaches, as well as risky activity such as communicating with third-parties without being aware of it. Asimily also has policy management features that enable security teams to detect incidents and trace them to their source.
The Packet Capture capability is a key tool for forensic analysis. It captures raw network traffic, either on command or automatically in response to suspicious activity depending on the policy. You can define these policies on what counts as an attack, an exploit, or other malicious activities and program them as triggers to immediately record any information on what the attacker is doing in real time.
The functionality of Asimily also includes several types of reports that streamline forensic analysis, including:
Asimily also streamlines forensic analysis through its:
- Topology Report that shows which devices and systems the IoT device in question was communicating with. This data can be used to determine any possible lateral movement through the organization through an accurate map of device relationships in the organization.
- Flow Analysis to determine which protocols a device is talking on and to what systems. Using this information, security teams can track any data that the device might be sending to other systems.
- Packet Capture for any monitored device that captures the traffic flowing to or from connected devices in a secure, local file. This data can be used for incident response and forensic analysis to reveal tactics, techniques, and procedures that cyberattackers use.
- Device Timelines that give a complete history of all changes made by people or software to a device, including when vulnerabilities were discovered or mitigated.
These reports and the investigation technology of Asimily empower its customers with the ability to readily discover the root cause of cyberattacks. Its reporting and forensic tools also enable better insights to respond to regulatory requirements and inform better defensive strategies. Forensic analysis will always be complex, but Asimily can make it easier for IoT systems.

As a practising paediatrician, I am aware (on a daily basis) that infants are most likely to urinate when their diaper (nappy) has been taken off, often immediately upon its removal. Although I have no data in hand, I am confident that many other child health clinicians and parents would confirm this observation. It has occurred to me that this observation might well constitute an evolutionary adaptation. With an infant swaddled in, say, an animal skin on the back of her or his mother, might it not confer an evolutionary advantage to those infants who were born "hard-wired" to withhold urine while swaddled to avoid skin maceration and infection?
Another thought on the evolution of micturition struck me while using a public toilet. There was a row of small urinals along the wall, each fully exposed. As I reflected on the "bashful bladder" syndrome, in which men find it difficult to urinate in the presence of other men,
1I recalled the behavour of several mammalian species, in which the male urinates to mark his territory with his scent, thus claiming territorial rights over other males. Might it be that the modern male Homo sapiens, who attempts to urinate in the presence of another male, is inhibited by the unconscious, atavistic message: "if I urinate in this other male's presence, I am asserting my supremacy over this territory—am I really ready to challenge this male to a fight?" I am not sure if this explantion might lead to some useful treatment approaches, but if hypnosis is attempted as a therapy, then it might serve to inform the design of suggestive imagery.

The use of a novel type of distal protection system (FiberNet®) in the percutaneous management of saphenous vein graft disease.
Percutaneous intervention in saphenous vein grafts is associated with a high risk of distal embolisation by plaque material, 'no flow' phenomenon and clinical complications such as myocardial infarction or death. According to randomised trial evidence, intervention in a degenerated vein graft should be performed using an embolic protection device (EPD), since this strategy significantly reduces periprocedural and 30 day adverse event rate. FiberNet® is a novel distal protection system with unique characteristics of a low crossing profile (0.031'' for vessel size 3.5-5 mm), 'cotton wool'-like three dimensional design and a small pore size (40 μm). The FiberNet® does not require a separate delivery sheath and self-achieves its optimal apposition to the vessel wall; the EPD system also contains a dedicated aspiration catheter. We present the use of FiberNet® in a 77 year-old patient who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting 20 years ago and currently presented with CCS class III angina due to a significant stenosis of the saphenous vein graft to the marginal branch. The procedure involved the use of a novel mesh-covered stent (MGuard®) designed to 'trap' the plaque material between the stent and the vessel wall. It was technically successful and clinically uncomplicated, and the patient remains well six months later. | pubmed_abstract |

The digestive tract microbiome balances our system and indicates more about our health
The surprising complexity of the digestive system and its significance to overall health is a topic of increasing interest. Various research studies in the past 20 years have demonstrated web links between intestine health and wellness and also the immune system, state of mind, psychological health and wellness, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, skin disease, and also cancer cells.
Gut microbiome is the term that refers to the whole community of microorganisms living in your intestines. A person has about 300 to 500 various types of germs in their gastrointestinal system. While some bacteria are unsafe to our health and wellness, numerous are unbelievably advantageous as well as also needed to a healthy body. These micro-organism in your gut can enhance your body's immune system function, enhance signs of clinical depression, assist combat weight problems, and also offer various other benefits.
7 Indications of an unhealthy digestive tract
Numerous facets of contemporary life such as taking a lot of stress, too little rest, consuming processed and high-sugar foods, and taking antibiotics can all harm our gut microbiome. And hampered health of gut can impact negatively on various other facets of wellness, such as the immune system, skin health, weight balance, hormone levels, and much more. There are a variety of ways an undesirable intestine may manifest itself. Below are seven of one of the most typical signs of an unhealthy gut:
Belly disruptions like gas, bloating, irregularity, looseness of the bowels, and heartburn can all be indicators of an unhealthy intestine. A balanced digestive tract will have much less difficulty refining food and also removing waste.
A high-sugar diet regimen
A diet plan high in processed foods and sugar coated can lower the quantity of excellent microorganisms in your intestine. This imbalance can create enhanced sugar food cravings, which can damage your intestine still further. High quantities of refined sugars, particularly high-fructose corn syrup, have actually been connected to increase swelling in the body. Inflammation can be the precursor to a number of diseases and also cancer cells.
Unintentional weight adjustments
Getting or dropping weight without making changes to your diet regimen or workout practices might signify an undesirable digestive tract. An imbalanced digestive tract can hinder your body's ability to absorb nutrients, manage blood sugar level, and also store fat. Fat burning may be triggered by tiny digestive tract microbial overgrowth (SIBO), while weight gain might be caused by insulin resistance or the urge to overeat as a result of decreased nutrient absorption.
Sleep disruptions or consistent tiredness
An undesirable digestive tract may contribute to sleep disturbances such as insomnia or bad rest, and also for that reason lead to chronic tiredness. The majority of the body's serotonin, a hormone that affects state of mind and sleep, is created in the gut. So any damage to gut can weaken your ability to sleep well. Some rest disruptions have actually also been connected to risk for fibromyalgia.
Skin irritation
Skin disease like dermatitis might be associated with a harmed intestine. Inflammation in the gut triggered by an inadequate diet plan or food allergies might trigger "leaking" of particular healthy proteins out into the body, which can subsequently aggravate the skin conditions.
Autoimmune conditions
Clinical scientists are continually locating new proof of the effect of the intestine on the immune system. It's believed that an undesirable digestive tract might boost systemic swelling as well as modify the correct performance of the immune system. This can lead to autoimmune diseases, where the body attacks itself as opposed to hazardous intruders.
Food intolerances
Food intolerances are the result of difficulty absorbing specific foods (this is different from a food allergic reaction, which is brought on by an immune system response to specific foods). It's believed that food intolerances may be triggered by low quality of bacteria in the gut. This can lead to problem digesting the trigger foods as well as undesirable signs such as bloating, gas, looseness of the bowels, stomach discomfort, and queasiness. There is some proof that food allergic reactions may likewise be connected to intestine health.

IBM, a leading technology corporation, has unveiled an advanced quantum computing chip named "Heron". This marks a significant shift beyond traditional silicon chips, paving the way for a new era in quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
IBM's latest Heron chip boasts a capacity of 133 qubits and a quantum bit capacity of 1121. In addition to the Heron chip, IBM has also introduced another chip with a capacity of 133 qubits.
Alongside the introduction of its new 1121-qubit chip, IBM has also announced a novel approach to quantum computing. This approach leverages phenomena known as quantum entanglement and superposition.
IBM's Condor chip, which is composed of superconducting qubits, features a unique honeycomb arrangement. This innovative design is part of IBM's ongoing commitment to advancing the field of quantum computing.
This major breakthrough comes amidst fierce technological competition with rivals such as Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc.'s Google, and China's Baidu Inc., all of whom are striving to construct machines that utilize quantum bits.
The Heron chip's capacity for real-time classical communication between separate processors could be particularly advantageous for Artificial Intelligence applications. This feature could boost the efficiency and effectiveness of AI systems by enabling more fluid integration and communication among different AI system components.
IBM has developed a novel method for connecting chips within machines and subsequently linking these machines. Coupled with a new error-correction code, this could set the stage for quantum machines by 2033.
Dario Gil, IBM's director of research, stated, "We are firmly within the era in which quantum computers are being used as a tool to explore new frontiers of science."
Gil believes that these quantum computers can solve problems in various sectors, from physics to medicine, faster than any existing supercomputers.
IBM has already installed one of these new machines at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. The machine is anticipated to revolutionize our understanding of proteins and their functions, potentially transforming the field of medicine.
Quantum computing signifies a substantial advancement in processing power and speed. This technology has the potential to revolutionize sectors from medicine to finance by rapidly solving complex problems that traditional computers would find challenging.
The Heron chip is a component of IBM's Quantum System Two, the world's first modular quantum computer, situated in Yorktown Heights, New York. This system operates in an almost perfect vacuum and at temperatures colder than deep space.
IBM envisions the Heron chip as the first step towards constructing a quantum computer with power surpassing a billion interconnected supercomputers. This significant breakthrough in quantum computing could potentially revolutionize our computing methods.
The Heron chip is anticipated to have substantial implications for AI technology. The quantum computing capabilities of the Heron chip could potentially transform Artificial Intelligence by providing immense computational power. This could facilitate the development of more intricate models, expedite processing times, and manage larger datasets, all of which are crucial for AI advancement. | commoncrawl |
We design and analyze the n-channel junctionless fin-shaped field-effect transistor (JL FinFET) with 10-nm gate length and compare its performances with those of the conventional bulktype fin-shaped FET (conventional bulk FinFET). A three-dimensional (3-D) device simulations were performed to optimize the device design parameters including the width (Wfin) and height (Hfin) of the fin as well as the channel doping concentration (Nch). Based on the design optimization, the two devices were compared in terms of direct-current (DC) and radio-frequency (RF) characteristics. The results reveal that the JL FinFET has better subthreshold swing, and more effectively suppresses short-channel effects (SCEs) than the conventional bulk FinFET.

Raahgiri Day, a slice of Sunday mornings that gives Gurgaon residents the right to troop out and enjoy on an otherwise busy stretch, is a platform to quench their thirst for civic engagement
Srishti Pandey | January 25, 2014
The rapid transformation from traditional homes to swanky apartments, from joint to nuclear families, and from large open public spaces to hot-selling plots in Indian cities are all considered signs of development. In effect, though, they have left our cities socially dead.
Concretisation of cities and isolation of individuals due to skewed work-life balance are the major contributors to cities becoming lifeless and an epitome of monotony.
So what happens if the authorities, in their blind pursuit to commercialise every bit of space in cities, forget the need to provide adequate avenues for civic engagement?
In a slice of Gurgaon, the uber-urbanised spot on Delhi's outskirts, the residents are providing the answer. They have now decided to give the malls and movies a miss and hit the roads instead in a bid to reclaim it for their recreation.
In a carnival-like setting, Gurgaon residents are coming out in large numbers to be a part of 'Raahgiri Day' – the new buzzword in the millennium city.
Raahgiri is a weekly street event that provides citizens the opportunity to "reclaim the streets, connect with the community, and celebrate the city", as its tagline suggests.
Starting November 17, Raahgiri is held every Sunday on a 4.5 km stretch of road. The route is a loop that starts and ends near Hotel Park Plaza, and passes through Vyapar Kendra, Super Mart 1 and Galleria road. Between 7 am and noon the entire stretch is cordoned off for vehicles, which are diverted to service lanes along the stretch. During this period, people are free to walk, cycle, skate or watch and participate in various activities held as part of the event, including yoga, zumba, street plays, music performances and artwork, among others.
Organised by students and teachers of The Heritage School in Gurgaon along with a few citizen groups and NGOs – including Embarq India, Pedal Yatris, IamGurgaon, Duplays, NMT activists with the help of civic authorities – Raahgiri has been able to help people break the glass wall and come out and engage with the community.
Amid growth of commercialised sources of entertainment that are like any other commodity – costly and scarce – the weekly event comes as a welcome break. Launched on the model of Ciclovia, which started in Bogota, Colombia in 1976, to demand better infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists from the authorities in a non-coercive manner, the event has turned out to become a healthier, cheaper, and a more socially integrating source of a weekend outing for people from diverse age and economic backgrounds to relax and enjoy a day out. Quite literally.
Claiming my space
GN Tiwary, a retired engineer from Tata Steel and one of the earliest to arrive at the venue [Governance Now visited the event on December 8], says, the event is nothing short of a "spectacle". "I have been living in this city for the last 20 years – what started out as a jungle, with hardly any facilities and few people, has turned into a concrete one now," the 80-year-old says. "The rise in population in the city has been directly proportional to the distance between people who have centred their work, leisure, and everything else only around themselves and their immediate families.
"This event is helping undo that damage we have done to ourselves as a society," he says.
Pointing at the lack of public spaces in Gurgaon, Tiwary says it was a good idea for people to create their own space without having to depend entirely on the authorities. That, he says, would have resulted in an endless wait. "Walking, jogging, cycling, skating or simply standing and chit-chatting on such a long stretch in a bustling city like Gurgaon, without having to hear the endless honking or fear being hit by impatient drivers and riders, is unbelievable. It's a miracle in itself!" Tiwary exclaims.
Another resident, Gurbachan Singh, 73, is amazed at how the event has helped people shed their inhibitions and reservations about approaching newer people and networking. "I stayed in Meerut for most of my life where it seemed everyone knew everyone else. Moving to Gurgaon, thus, was a culture shock – people wouldn't even talk to their neighbours and civic engagement is zilch," he says. "But this event seems promising and I hope it will help overcome this issue because it is important to remember that man is a social animal; so the lower his interaction with the society, the greater the chances of dying out."
Ask him about the most exciting part about the event, and pat comes the reply: looking at the delight on children's faces because of the "freedom of space they get".
With sedentary lifestyles becoming the norm, for most people the event ensures that little bit of "physical activity". "I come here for my little daughter," says Shruti, 30, who works as a manager with a software company, "because it is important for her to stay around people. That is very important for her personality development because she'll learn a lot from the other kids here. We have isolated ourselves so much that communication is very restricted. Thanks to her, I get a chance to do some exercising, meet new people and talk to them. It's a welcome shift away from the confines of a mall or the movies or spending so much time and effort going to an amusement park."
During the event, children easily qualify as the happiest lot. With a variety of options to play freely, run around, do some Zumba, ride a bicycle, skate, catch up with friends doing similar things – and all this without being bothered by parents to return home quickly – is the "perfect" start, or end, to another hectic week, they say.
Satvik, a student of class VI at a private school, says he loves to skate but hardly gets enough of it during the week. "I do a little bit of skating in school but it is not possible in the society where I live because of the constant movement of vehicles and the numerous speed-breakers," he says. "The road is wider and smoother here (at the Raahgiri venue) and I don't have to watch out for speeding vehicles. My parents are also here and we all get a chance to do our own things because there is nothing to worry about."
Authorities buoyed by success
The popularity of the event among the citizens in and around the area can be gauged from the steadily rising footfall, the organisers say. "The response has been tremendous. The footfall has been increasing by 20-25 percent every week – in fact, on December 22 it was as high as 15,000-17,000 – as more people are getting to know about the event," says Sarika Panda Bhatt, an urban planner with Embarq India, one of the main organisers of Raahgiri Day.
"In a newly developed city like Gurgaon, people have no space to enjoy with family and friends, so this event has provided that much-needed space to the residents living in this concrete jungle," Bhatt says. "But we need to keep in mind the final objective of keeping the pressure up on authorities to provide better infrastructure facilities for pedestrians and cyclists without delay."
Rejoicing at the response received, Gurgaon police commissioner Alok Mittal says the event has not only made an impression on the residents of Gurgaon but has also generated interest in other cities. "Many have taken notice of this development. Officials from cities like Bangalore, among others, have attended the event and interacted with us to introduce something similar in their cities," he says.
Attributing the event's success to its proper planning, Mittal says, "Between 75 and 100 police personnel, including traffic cops, have been deployed because there are many points along the 4.5 km stretch so as to avoid any kind of confusion and mishaps. In this way the people are assured about their safety."
However, he clarifies that more than anything else his interest in the initiative is the chance he gets to interact with citizens in an informal setting. "There is a very visible change in the way people talk to us when we are not in our uniforms," the police chief says. "They are a lot more open and come up to us to freely discuss issues. While receiving feedback from them helps us review our own processes, we also get a chance to communicate our programmes and ideas to them."
Attraction to new and innovative ideas is a common human tendency and getting restless and bored equally soon is also a fact. Ask the organisers if they have taken the boredom factor into account, Mittal chuckles: "That risk is definitely there but we still have time for that. We have only started and the rate and manner in which things are progressing, it will be the residents who will take up the job to sustain the momentum. They will need our support only to facilitate their ideas."

The past 23 years since the launch of Step into Life – then, Australia's first ever outdoor personal training group – have been incredibly rewarding.
Over the years, we have touched the lives of thousands of members and contributed significantly towards making communities happier and healthier.
Hundreds of inspirational personal trainers have come on board across Australia and New Zealand.
But now I will pass the baton on to a new owner. After much consideration, I have decided this is the right time for new leadership and fresh perspective at Step into Life.
For years, I've loved seeing the sun rise on members smiling and sweaty faces, watching you walk away from training ready to tackle the day with greater
self-esteem and renewed energy. I have also derived so much personal satisfaction in seeing business owners use the Step into Life model to improve
the fitness and health of so many in their local community – and enjoy a handsome financial reward in doing so.
Your positive attitude towards improving your own health and fitness – and the consideration you have for those around you – is to be commended.
There's no doubt, the friendship and camaraderie experienced at Step into Life is long-lasting, and I know I will stay in touch with many of you for years to come.
It's now, at age 52, when I truly appreciate how far the brand has come. In July 1995, I placed the first 12 x 3 advertisement in the local newspaper for outdoor training at Hodgson's Reserve in Bentleigh, Victoria.
People thought I was crazy to start an outdoor training group in the middle of a Melbourne winter – no one else had done it, and the concept took off.
The ad attracted 70 phone calls and before I knew it I was operating from four venues and needed assistant trainers to help meet demand.
The first timetable included a 6am sessions three times a week. But, it soon expanded with Saturday mornings, weekday evenings, and then sessions after the morning school drop-off!
Franchising commenced in 1998 to ensure each party had a vested interest in the business and the success of the members they were training.
Now, we truly have something for everyone with specialised sessions in cardiomax, toneup, boxkick, coreball, powerflex, achievit, endurit and corporate training.
I feel privileged to have had the pleasure of working with – and alongside – so many amazing people within Step into Life and this industry. I certainly did not do it alone and there are so many people to thank along the way.
Watching on as the brand continues to grow from strength-to-strength will be a pleasure – and I am equally as excited for new personal challenges and adventures.
Kind regards,
Larry Cohen. | commoncrawl |

ACI World celebrates Sustainability Expansion Plan launch in Montréal
By Kristiane Sherry |
Airports Council International (ACI) World has launched its Sustainability Expansion Plan, a new strategy for its global airport membership that aligns with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Although funded by non-profit Montréal International with the support of the Government of Canada, the Government of Québec, and the City of Montréal, the plan contributes to the world aviation industry's collective goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The plan also sees continued investment in Montréal, the World Capital of Civil Aviation, and in the sustainability of airports as "essential" enablers of economic growth.
ACI World hosted a cocktail reception on 4 May at Montréal's Place Ville Marie to mark the occasion, attended by government officials, and aviation and investment representatives.
"The Government of Canada has made concrete commitments to strengthen our ongoing fight against climate change and play an active role in the transition to the economy of the future," said Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec.
"The support granted to Airports Council International (ACI) World, to develop the Sustainability Expansion Plan, clearly illustrates this.
"Thanks to our non-repayable contribution of $283,334, provided through our collaboration with Montréal International, the organisation will play a key role in promoting sustainable practices within the global aviation industry.
"This project will also enable the metropolis to continue to shine on the international stage."
'An important step'
Martine Biron, Minister of International Relations and La Francophonie and Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, added: "The Ministère des Relations internationales et de la Francophonie du Québec is proud to contribute to the Sustainable Development Programme implemented by Airports Council International (ACI) World, as it reflects Québec's environmental and sustainable development values and objectives.
"This expansion shows how international organisations operating in Québec can help develop and promote Montréal as the civil aviation capital of the world.
"I would like to applaud ACI's commitment to achieving sustainable development goals that will contribute to the future of civil aviation."
Valérie Plante, Mayor of the City of Montréal, added: "ACI World's Sustainability Expansion Plan is an important step in making airport operations greener.
"As the civil aviation capital of the world, Montréal is proud to see ACI further support the green transition.
"Aviation is a major contributor to global economic prosperity. Hence, its role in the development of a sustainable energy transition that also promotes the overall health of our ecosystem has never been more important."
A 'milestone' in airport sustainability initiatives
Luis Felipe de Oliveira, Director General of ACI World, said: "The Sustainability Expansion Plan builds on a long-standing cooperation with Montréal International and its partners, the Government of Canada, the Government of Québec and the City of Montréal.
"The plan represents an important milestone in the strengthening of ACI World's sustainability initiatives that support our global airport members.
"Despite the difficulties faced by the sector in the last few years, the expansion plan ensures our long-term commitment with Montréal and its position as the World Capital of Civil Aviation, providing employment and relevance to the whole aviation ecosystem.
"On behalf of ACI World, I thank Montréal International, its financial partners, and CEO Stéphane Paquet and his team who have been pivotal in this project.
"Together, through the investment in airports' sustainability, we are accomplishing great things for the social and economic well-being of millions of people worldwide."
Stéphane Paquet, President and CEO of Montréal International, added: "Since the 1940s, Montréal has been recognised worldwide as a hub for civil aviation.
"The city's fame in this sector is due in large part to international organisations such as ACI World that develop cutting-edge programmes like the Sustainability Expansion Plan launched today.
"We ought to be proud and grateful for such initiatives that help build a green and inclusive economy and demonstrate Montréal's international organisations' leadership in decarbonising our planet."
ACI, which comprises World, ACI Africa, ACI Asia-Pacific, ACI EUROPE, ACI Latin America and the Caribbean and ACI North America, represents the interests of airports during policy development.
As of January 2023, it has 712 members operating 1,925 airports across 171 countries.
Last year, ACI World warned that it did not expect passenger air travel to rebound to 2019 numbers until the second half of 2024.

Approved Port of Palm Beach security contract never ratified
New questions over future port security services
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. - There are new questions about the future of security services at the Port of Palm Beach. Protection of the port has been maintained, even after an 'administrative oversight' concerning the fine print of a contract.
Julie Houston Trieste, Public Relations Specialist for the Port of Palm Beach, says the board of commissioners is still trying to figure out how a new agreement with the Riviera Beach Police Department to provide protection at the port was never actually signed and, therefore, never ratified.
"It obviously is a concern when we are acting without a contract," said Houston Trieste.
In August of 2012, the port approved a three year deal with the city of Riviera Beach for two full-time uniformed police officers, two patrol cars, a police K9 with a price tag of more than $174,000 per year.
The port claims it delivered the agreement to the city for signing but got nothing in return.
"It's something that wasn't immediately obvious," said Houston Trieste. "We've been operating with them with a contract for several years and, honestly, it just slipped through the cracks," she said.
The city, though, claims it never received the contract at all.
"We haven't been able to process it because we simply haven't seen it," said William Jiles, Public Relations & Media Manager for the City of Riviera Beach.
Neither side is taking full responsibility for how this happened.
"As far whether it was an oversight on our part or on their part, I can't agree to that because we don't know what happened at this point," said Jiles.
"The Port can't take all the blame for it," said Houston Trieste. "It's a two-party agreement."
With no contract in place, the port is looking into other agencies to oversee security there including the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. "It's still up in the air from what I understand," Houston Trieste said.
Riviera Beach police will continue to respond to and patrol the port - at least for now. A decision about officially signing a new police services agreement will be discussed at the port's next board of commissioners meeting in late June. | commoncrawl |

Established in 2003, Adria Vini is a winemaking venture jointly owned by Boutinot and Araldica Castelvero, the leading co-operative in the Monferrato hills of Piemonte. Their aim is to produce authentic, well-priced still and sparkling wines from local grape varieties. All aspects of production, from grape selection through to vinification, maturation, blending and bottling are meticulously overseen by Araldica's winemaking team of Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese – assisted by Boutinot's Tony Brown MW. They source from a range of private growers and cooperatives, with whom they have long term relationships, principally in Veneto, Friuli, Lombardy, Sicily, Puglia, Abruzzo and Sardinia.
From selected parcels of Glera grapes grown northeast of Treviso, and with the addition on 10% Pinot Noir, also from the DOC region, to give colour and flavour. Hand harvested at optimum ripeness.
90% Glera, 10% Pinot Noir. Gentle pneumatic pressing followed by slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel. Second fermentation takes place in pressure tanks, where the wine spends 2 months on lees.
A fresh and delicately fruity Prosecco Rosé with red berry and floral aromas. Lively on the palate with ripe strawberry and raspberry notes and a clean, refreshing finish.

Tablets are pricey, but the Young Entrepreneur Council has ideas on how to make them worth the investment for your small business needs. rvlsoft /Shutterstock
—Eric Bahn | Founder, Beat The GMAT
"I love mind maps, and although there are tons of tools to create mind maps on a desktop or laptop, using a tablet to create mind maps allows you to jot down ideas on the go. It also helps to visualize an idea from start to finish—without being distracted by the multitasking environment that a full computer offers."
—Nathalie Lussier | creator, The Website Checkup Tool
"If your customers are looking at your site or product on a tablet, make sure that you're giving them a great experience. The fact that our online reporting dashboard renders nicely on an iPad is a big advantage for our company over some of our competitors."
—Allie Siarto | partner and director of analytics, Loudpixel
"Tablets are best for consuming content—downloading books and PDFs and streaming videos—and communicating with others. Make sure your tablet can do all of this, but be clear on its limits. Tablets aren't computers, so certain features won't be as good if even possible."
—Ash Kumra | co-founder, DreamItAlive.com
"If you have retail business, why can't the tablets replace the regular menus or brochures? Why not have an in-house sale that's only available on your tablet (yes, not even on your website)? How about replacing the whole POS for a tablet with POS app. Let clients use and have fun with them."
—Devesh Dwivedi | CEO, Breaking The 9 To 5 Jail
"When people get tablets, they often head for the App Store and download hundreds of apps that just add more confusion, more chaos, and more inefficiencies to their businesses. Instead, download the apps that compliment the programs you already use in your business so you can create a seamless workflow instead of adding more steps to it."

Reduce Recurring Expenses
One way to save money is to identify and cut down on recurring expenses that don't add value to your life. A good rule of thumb is to cancel if it is something you might want to use "someday."
Even if the recurring expense offers you value, you can investigate how you can reduce it without sacrificing comfort in your daily life.
You should automate what you can so you don't have to keep off the discipline to do those things.
Automating aspects of your personal finance can afford you more time and mental capacity to focus on other aspects of life.
When you buy mutual funds, you are charged a purchase fee upfront. This is a one-time payment to the fund management institution. Annually, you will be charged with a percentage of management fees, commonly known as "expense ratio", which can be expensive.
Beware when advisors at your bank recommend mutual funds to buy. They might be earning a sales commission.
Frugality cannot be the sole cornerstone of our personal finance strategy.
Because we can't save more than what we earn and saving by itself leads to losses, due to inflation devaluing your money.
By following the conventional path of "school to loan to university to work" you risk running into serious debt. Being creative is a potential way to lessen or eliminate that.
Maybe finding a different and cheaper way of doing the same thing, doing a yard sale or getting a side job… Put your mind to it and you may find ways to get a financial boost.
Personal finance is about managing your own money - how much you spend, save, get into debt, and invest.
How you manage your money will depend on your age, education, ambition, family, and country of residence. While this guide will give you enough input to work out a strategy, you should always consider your own personal situation.
You don't have to sacrifice all of your free time to start a side hustle, use the time you're comfortable with and make a little bit of progress every day.

Remember you going to class and passing the class does not affect the professor, it is your money being spent so do what is best and go to class.
