Many soccer fans are expecting a new Premier League season. After all, Manchester United is defending its title without the legendary Alex Ferguson, while new clubs in Hull City, Cardiff City and Crystal Palace are threatening to make an impact in England‘s top division. In addition, other top Premier League clubs in Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool hope to give Manchester United a run for their money. With that in mind, a new season of the Premier League gives clubs an opportunity to forget last year and improve on their placings, in hopes of surviving relegation and even compete in either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League. However, Southeast Asian soccer fans will have a new broadcast partner this year.
After several years as broadcast partner, Fox Sports Asia (formerly ESPN) and Star Sports decided to bow out of Premier League coverage for this year and beyond. Instead the Dutch league known as Eredivisie will replace the Premier League on the said networks. It was then announced that MP & Silva, through its broadcast partner BeIN Sport, will acquire the Premier League broadcast rights in the Philippines for this season until the 2015-16 season, with 33 matches aired per season. Additional coverage will also be provided through digital media and other mobile platforms.
Fox Sports and Star Sports’ loss of the Premier League was unexpected. After all, the two networks have comprehensively covered the Premier League for many years and gave soccer fans an opportunity to connect with some of the league’s most popular clubs. However, a majority of the Philippine population were not soccer fans, and despite the emergence of the Philippine Azkals, soccer still lags behind boxing and basketball in terms of popularity. Worse, Premier League broadcast rights are expensive, and with mounting operational costs they cannot afford to carry more coverage. Thus they have to give up on the Premier League, instead replacing it with some unknown Dutch soccer stuff when in fact they should have taken either the German Bundesliga, the French Ligue 1 or the Italian Serie A to appease the appetite of soccer fans.
While BeIN Sport has acquired the rights to air the Premier League in the Philippines, the announcement of which channel and cable network will BeIN Sport be available remains to be seen. For now, many soccer fans craving for the Premier League will have to depend on online live streaming to appease their hunger for soccer action. The Premier League begins tomorrow, but without any television coverage in the Philippines to begin with.

Free Wills Month March 2019
Free Wills Month is now closed. Please refer to the National Free Wills Network to get your Will written or updated free of charge.
What is Free Wills Month?
Free Wills Month offers people aged 55 and over the opportunity to have a simple* Will written or updated free of charge.
The scheme uses local solicitors in selected areas around the UK, and although there’s no obligation to leave a gift to Guide Dogs in your Will, we hope people might consider helping in this special way.
What can a gift in your Will do for Guide Dogs?
Two out of three guide dogs are only made possible thanks to gifts left in Wills. This vital income helps to provide guide dogs of the future enabling people with sight loss to lead full and rewarding lives.
How do you take part?
Simply contact a local participating solicitor between 1 and 31 March 2019. As long as you’ve contacted your chosen solicitor during that period, the actual appointment itself can take place at a later date.
From the 1 March, go to www.freewillsmonth.org.uk for details of participating solicitors nearest to you or call 0345 686 4309.
*Please be aware that the definition of a ‘simple’ Will is at the discretion of the drafting solicitor.
I thought it may be a complicated process but it was very easy and we had a choice of local solicitors to contact at our convenience. I was so impressed with this service that I would recommend it to anyone.”

The first three blog posts in this series have raised many issues about the proposed NHS COVID19 Contact Tracing App (COVID App) including the incomplete DPIA and lack of human rights compliance. In this final post we discuss concerns about how long the data collected by the app will be held and what it will be used for.
“The information you provide, (and which will not identify you), may also be used for different purposes that are not directly related to your health and care. These include:
- Research into coronavirus
- Planning of services/actions in response to coronavirus
- Monitoring the progress and development of coronavirus
Any information provided by you and collected about you will not be used for any purpose that is not highlighted above.”
Article 89 of the GDPR allows Data Controllers to process personal data for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, subject to appropriate safeguards set out in Section 19 of the Data Protection Act 2018.
NHSX has said that one of the “appropriate safeguards” to be put in place is anonymisation or de-identification of the users’ data; but only if research purposes can be achieved without the use of personal data. However, even anonymised data can be pieced back together to identify individuals especially where other datasets are matched.
The Open Rights Group says:
“Claims such as ‘The App is designed to preserve the anonymity of those who use it’ are inherently misleading, yet the term has been heavily relied upon by the authors of the DPIA. On top of that, many statements leave ambiguities…”
There are also legitimate concerns about “function creep”. What exactly does “research into coronavirus” mean? Matthew Gould, the chief executive of NHSX, told MPs the app will evolve over time:
“We need to level with the public about the fact that when we launch it, it will not be perfect and that, as our understanding of the virus develops, so will the app. We will add features and develop the way it works.”
Whilst speaking to the Science and Technology Committee, Gould stated that “We’ve been clear the data will only ever be used for the NHS.” This does not rule out the possibility of private companies getting this data as NHS Data Processors.
Privacy campaigners are also concerned about the length of time the personal data collected by the app will be held; for both contacts and for people who have coronavirus. The DPIA and Privacy Notice does not specify a data retention period:
“In accordance with the law, personal data will not be kept for longer than is necessary. The exact retention period for data that may be processed relating to COVID-19 for public health reasons has yet to be set (owing to the uncertain nature of COVID-19 and the impact that it may have on the public).
In light of this, we will ensure that the necessity to retain the data will be routinely reviewed by an independent authority (at least every 6 months).”
So, at the time of writing, COVID App users have no idea how long their data will be kept for, nor exactly what for, nor which authority will review it “every six months.” Interestingly the information collected by the wider NHS Test and Trace programme is going to be kept by Public Health England for 20 years. Who is to say this will not be the case for COVID App users’ data?
Interestingly, none of the 15 risks listed in the original DPIA relating to the COVID App trial (see the second blog in this series) include keeping data for longer than necessary or the lawful basis for retaining it past the pandemic, or what it could be used for in future if more personal data is collected in updated versions of the app. As discussed in the third blog in this series, the Joint Human Rights Committee drafted a Bill which required defined purposes and deletion of all of the data at end of the pandemic. The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, quickly rejected this Bill.
The woolly phrase “personal data will not be kept for longer than is necessary” and the fact NHSX admit that the COVID App will evolve in future and may collect more data, gives the Government wriggle room to retain the COVID App users’ data indefinitely and use it for other purposes. Could it be used as part of a government surveillance programme? Both India and China have made downloading their contact tracing app a legal requirement raising concerns of high tech social control.
To use the App or not?
Would we download the COVID App app in its current form? All four blogs in this series show that we are not convinced that it is privacy or data protection compliant. Furthermore, there are worries about the wider NHS’s coronavirus test-and-trace programme. The speed at which it has been set up, concerns raised by people working in it and the fact that no DPIA has been done further undermines confidence in the whole set up. Yesterday we learnt that the Open Rights Group is to challenge the government over amount of data collected and retained by the programme.
Having said all that, we leave it up to readers to decide whether to use the app.
Some privacy experts have been more forthcoming with their views. Phil Booth of @medConfidential calls the Test and Trace programme a “mass data grab” and Paul Bernal, Associate Professor in Law at the University of East Anglia, writes that the Government’s approach – based on secrecy, exceptionalism and deception – means our civic duty may well be to resist the programme actively. Finally if you need a third opinion, Jennifer Arcuri, CEO of Hacker House, has said she would not download the app because “there is no guarantee it’s 100 percent secure or the data is going to be kept secure.” Over to you dear readers!
Will you be downloading the app? Let us know in the comments section below.
This and other GDPR developments will be covered in our new online GDPR update workshop. Our next online GDPR Practitioner Certificate course is fully booked. A few places left on the course starting on 2nd July.

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — California is set to become one of the first states where women can get birth control from a pharmacist without a prescription with the goal of reducing unwanted pregnancies.
Proponents of the new law say it will give younger women easier access.
But doctors like gynecologist Kathleen Valenton have concerns.
“I think that’s very dangerous,” she said, since pharmacists cannot perform health screenings, including STD checks.
“Birth-control pills are not the only way you can prevent pregnancy, and they definitely don’t prevent STDs,” Valenton said.
Under the new rules in California and Oregon, women could consult with their pharmacist, fill out a brief questionnaire then get birth control on the spot.
Though many pharmacists agree that birth control should be taken seriously, they say easier access to contraception will ultimately help women who need or want it.
Many of the details of the law are still being worked out in Sacramento. It is set to take effect in March.

Bright Not Broken: Gifted Kids, ADHD, and Autism Hardcover – September 13, 2011

"This book addresses an important, under discussed topic, supporting children with social and attention problems but who have good cognitive skills. With discussion of who they are and why they end up stuck and frustrated, this highly readable book fills an important need."
-- Fred R Volkmar, MD, Director, Yale Child Study Center
This book is essential for parents and professionals. It is both theoretical, practical and creatively updates thinking on autism spectrum disorders. In our experience change in the field only happens when parents campaign which these authors are doing with such enthusiasm.
Dr. Lorna Wing and Judith Gould, PhD
The National Autistic Society
"A work of tremendous scholarship and passion that deserves to be a seminal and paradigm-shifting work. It should be read by all parents of gifted children with coexistent disabilities--and the professionals who work with them."
William Sheehan, MD, Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Services, Willmar, MN
"This book is an outstanding analysis of the flaws in the educational and psychiatric approaches to children's challenges. It gave me excellent insight into my more challenging cases and has had a profound impact on my personal and professional life."
Ruth Goldberg, PhD, clinical and school psychologist, mother of three 2e children
"Bright Not Broken is a unique resource for parents and professionals who seek to understand children's behaviors. The authors are to be applauded for their clear-thinking approach to the jungle of DSM labels--a must read for the open minded!"
Lydia Furman, MD, Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, Cleveland OH
From the Inside Flap
The future of our society depends on our gifted children—thepopulation in which we'll find our next Isaac Newton, AlbertEinstein, or Virginia Woolf. Yet the gifts and talents of some ofour most brilliant kids may never be recognized because thesechildren fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or 2e.Twice-exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with adisability—often ADHD or an autism spectrumdisorder—leading teachers and parents to overlook the child'stalents and focus solely on his weaknesses. Too often, thesechildren get lost in an endless cycle of chasing diagnostic labelsand are never given the tools to fully realize their own potential.
Bright Not Broken sheds new light on this vibrantpopulation by identifying who twice-exceptional children are andtaking an unflinching look at why they're stuck. The first work toboldly examine the widespread misdiagnosis and controversies thatarise from our current diagnostic system, it serves as a wake-upcall for parents and professionals to question why our mentalhealth and education systems are failing our brightestchildren.
Most important, the authors show what we can do to help 2echildren, providing a whole child model for parents and educatorsto strengthen and develop a child's innate gifts while alsointervening to support the deficits. Drawing on painstakingresearch and personal experience, Bright Not Broken offersgroundbreaking insight and practical strategies to those seeking tohelp 2e kids achieve their full potential.
Top customer reviews
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1) As another review said, much of this book is railing against the old classification system. The DSM-5 is out. From what I can tell the classification went from a super specific way of looking at these behaviors to a very broad (aka spectrum) way of looking at them. So something like (rough guess) 80% of the book is not very useful now.
2) The implication that children that aren't above average intellectually are broken. Yeah, the book is about 2e kids but the tone about all the others on the spectrum leave sometime to be desired. To quote another reviewer..."
What's more, the title itself should have tipped me off to the problematic views within. Bright not broken implies that kids who aren't bright ARE broken. And that, of course, is not the case. Different not less applies to children ALL over the spectrum, not just those who are deemed bright."
3) I really, really didn't like tone and all of the stories about the author's children. I think that the idea was to say, "hey, our kids aren't neurotypical and with guidance and help they are all doing well. But it came off, time and time again, like that annoying Christmas/Holiday card that said Everything is Awesome (too bad your kids aren't as smart/pretty/talented/special as ours).
4) One good tidbit to be aware of (that I read elsewhere perhaps published online by the same people):
a) Children whose giftedness masks the disability
b) Children whose disability masks the giftedness
c) Children in whom the giftedness and the disability mask one another
5) Also, this is important when discussing an ASD diagnosis with non-doctors (and doctors actually) (p xxiv) "Although estimates suggest that a majority of individuals with autism may be high functioning, the focus in the autism field continues to be *on those with severe cognitive impairments.* Because of this emphasis on low-functioning autism, the highest-functioning population which includes 2e children, remains misdiagnosed and misunderstood."
So, overall, this book has done zero to further my quest in helping define what I think would be best for my child in terms of beginning his education in public schools. I already know that typical SE schools are too rigid and not academic enough and many don't take ASD children anyway, G&T programs are probably too stressful due to the ASD aspects so that leaves us still without a solution - public or private. The educational framework for 2e does not yet exist for public schools (please give us ICT G&T kindergarten classes with acceptance based on psych testing rather than standardized test!! At least in the beginning).
I suspect that when this came out a five years ago it might have been more useful - less information was available then perhaps and people were working on a different model of understanding.
What is important for people who find themselves with a young child with high cognitive/intellectual potential but with an ASD and/or ADHD diagnosis (2e) is to know that they have *the right to the most appropriate education for their child*. And they will often have to fight for it in a calm, persistent manner. Really, everyone should have this for their children.
I have two more chapters and will add to/edit the review if necessary.
I had never heard of Temple Grandin...as a result of this book, we watched her movie and her story inspired my daughter, who has been struggling with finding role models. My daughter is not Austic or on the spectrum, but has ADHD (or so they SAY...) but wanted to meet her...turns out she lives in Colorado where WE live...and we found out she'd going to be at a conference so she is going to meet her.
The Gifted Development Center which is mentioned in the book and whose director is quoted in the book, also is in Colorado and we have a consultation set up with them.
But most important, this book really sheds light on how completely flawed the DSM is. I am seeking a second opinion on the ADHD piece of my daughter journey...how do they know she's not reacting from not being challenged because she is also gifted?
This journey we parents are on who have these special jewels of children need as much information as we can, and we need to inform the administrations of our kids' schools so they can wake up...and we need each other to network with.
Loved this book and have referred it to everyone I can!
When you tell somebody your child has autism, you get the pity look. They have no idea what to say. Then you add there is a co-morbid condition of giftedness and their reaction is to look at you as if to say,"well what are YOU complaining about?" they literally say, "Well thats good!"
No, that is not good. As parents, we just want our kids to have the same experiences as their peers. We want them to get on the school bus without incident, play baseball, go to the prom, and flunk algebra. Believe me, adding giftedness to the diagnosis of autism does not somehow magically make everything alright, and these authors get it.
Their explanations are excellent. Their suggestions for curriculum accommodations are what you would pay an advocate thousands of dollars for. This book is a must for parents in this position.
Furthermore, their discussion of the AD/HD diagnosis is absolutely essential to any parent whose child has been labeled with this disorder, whether or not the other two diagnoses are in play. But especially if your child has been identified to have AD/HD and you suspect something Bright Not Broken: Gifted Kids, ADHD, and Autismelse may be going on. Their information is simply too good to ignore.

My dear friend Sara will be marrying her love Phil very soon and I was so happy to work with her on custom stationery. She needed personalized thank you notes that she and her fiancé could send both pre- and post-wedding. I showed her a number of motifs and she chose a hand-drawn diamond pattern.
Since the cards would be coming from both of them, we didn't want colors to be too feminine and settled on a navy blue and orange combo.
For the pre-wedding cards, we stuck with just their first names in one of my new favorite fonts.
For post-wedding cards, I did a monogram using their new shared last initial.
I love how these turned out and can't wait for these two love birds to wed!

PLACES TO VISIT
Many guests enjoy the privacy of one of the five sun decks or beach, soaking in the views, sun, wildlife and tranquility. Maybe an occasional swim or paddle-board from the dock or a Sailing trip right from the dock but there is much to do on the Sunshine Coast
Perched on a hillside, it overlooks a harbour and faces nearby islands in Howe Sound. As the crow flies, the “Gateway to the Sunshine Coast” is 16km/10mi from Vancouver. To get to Gibsons, it’s a 40-minute ferry ride from West Vancouver, followed by a 5km/3mi drive from the Langdale ferry terminal.
Gibsons has earned international recognition: it was recently named the “Most Liveable Community under 20,000” (2009) in a world-wide competition by the UN-backed International Awards for Liveable Communities. But, it’s perhaps most famously known as the location for the longtime hit TV show The Beachcombers, which first aired in 1972 and ran until 1990.
"Located at the south end of the Sunshine Coast, just north of Vancouver, Gibsons (population: 4,182) is a quaint town of artists and fishing boats."
Nowadays, it attracts visitors with its chilled-out blend of water and land activities, suitable for all ages and ability levels. Go kayaking, canoeing, or fishing. Enjoy hiking in the Sunshine Coast’s regional and provincial parks, or play golf. Relax while visiting farmers markets, dining at diverse restaurants, browsing through museums and art galleries, or checking out local festivals and events.
The Groves are for all - hardy hikers and just strollers too.With over 125 acres, there are easy walks of just a 15 minutes and some longer.All trails are well marked and signed and prepared for your safety and comfort.
Some Nice Things About The Hidden Groves
> unique combination of ancient giant trees, maple wetland and rocky promontories.
> easy access and parking at entrance to trails
> Views of Vancouver Island and Sechelt Inlet
> most trails are a minimal challenge
> legal off-leash area for well behaved dogs
only 3km from Tranquility Bay and the most stunning trails of the coast
The House of Héwhíwus, or House of Chiefs, proudly documents the culture of the Sechelt Nation, who have resided on the Sunshine Coast for thousands of years. Exhibits showcase traditional weaving and salmon-smoking methods, colourful masks and paddles, stone carvings, and more. Performances with live singing and dancing take place in the adjacent Raven's Cry Theatre.
Sechelt First Nation
The Sechelt (shíshálh) First Nation, located on BC´s scenic West Coast is proud of our heritage and community values. Our spectacular scenery and natural resoures in the territory have sustained our people and way of life for centuries. We thrive on a communal lifestyle that respects the wisdom of our elders.
shíshálh Nation Vision
To achieve self-reliance and independence for the shíshálh Nation we recognized that our collective success depends on knowing our history, understanding our present circumstances and charting a path that leads towards a healthy and prosperous future.
In 1986 the shíshálh Nation became an independent self-governing body . . . a unique third order of the government of Canada. The Sechelt Indian Government District holds jurisdiction over its lands and exercises the authority to provide services and education for its residents.
The shíshálh territory has always been defined by natural landmarks from the named mountain tops down through their valleys, brooks, steams, rivers and lakes to the coastal shores, inlets and open waters forming the regional watersheds. Those territories include the entire area draining into lilkw´ émin (Agamemnon Channel) swiwelát (Princess Louisa Inlet)?álhtulich (Sechelt Inlet), stl´ixwim (Narrows Inlet), skúpa (Salmon Inlet), smit (Hotham Sound), and part of sínku (the open waters of Malaspina Strait and Georgia Strait) including the southern half of slháltikan (Texada Island) and chichxwalish (Sabine Channel).
The name shishálh, from the language of sháshishálem, refers to the entire population descended from the four sub-groups that officially amalgamated in 1925. They include xénichen at the head of Jervis Inlet), ts ´únay (at Deserted Bay), téwánkw ( in Sechelt, Salmon and Narrow Inlets), and sxixus.
However you travel, you´ll know you have arrived when you see the massive sloping roof of the House of héwhíwus (House of Chiefs) complex and the Raven´s Cry Theatre. The raven, a mischievous bird in shíshálh folklore, is a gatherer and collector of stories. This storytelling house of the raven features plays, concerts recitals and big screen movies nightly.
Visitors are invited to attend cultural events throughout the year, hosted by our community.
The tems swiya museum welcomes you to a journey encompassing the shíshálh land, history and culture. Stop by the tsain-ko gift shop and take home a reminder of your visit to Sechelt.
The newly built long house represents a proud return to age-old celebrations and gatherings. The shíshálh tl´e enak-awxw (Feast House), a joint project with the Sechelt Indian Band, the Federal Government and the First People´s Cultural Foundation, celebrated its grand opening in October 1996. This celebration also marked the Sechelt Indian Band´s 10th Anniversary of Self Government. A totem pole was raised to represent the people from xénichen (Hunaechin). The other poles raised represent the people from t´sunay (Deserted Bay), téwánkw (in Sechelt, Salmon and Narrows Inlets), and sxixus (Pender Harbour). A fifth and final pole placed in the middle represents the shíshálh as it exists today. It is located in the centre of the other four marking the amalgamation of the Band.

Thanks to Pedals & Paddles for sharing this great info!
Sechelt Inlet is a paddler's paradise and only two hours from downtown Vancouver. While most visitors to the Sunshine Coast follow Highway 101 up the rugged and beautiful east shore of Georgia Strait, surprisingly few are aware of the solitude and natural beauty that awaits them on the Inlet side of Sechelt Peninsula.
Sechelt Inlet is protected from wind and waves that are common on open ocean waters by high surrounding mountains. Mornings and evenings are typically calm and peaceful with lush green mountains reflecting off of the tranquil blue ocean surface. As there are no roads beyond the village of Tuwanek, wilderness and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities are just minutes away.
Sechelt Inlet is blessed with many sand and gravel beaches, which are the result of alluvial deposits left by streams flowing from high in the mountains. Eight of these river estuaries have been designated Wilderness Marine Parksand offer excellent rustic overnight camping facilities with such "luxuries" as year round fresh water, clear tenting areas and tent pads, outhouses, fire rings, and warm swimming beaches. There are eight designated Wilderness Marine Parks, as well as many unserviced beach areas. Finding a secluded sheltered and easily accessible spot to camp is seldom a problem. Campers on the east shore of the Inlet are treated to spectacular evening sunsets while west shore campers enjoy the warming rays of early morning sun with their coffee.
Novice kayakers and canoeists will appreciate the fact that the shoreline is always close by; the longest crossing being only about one kilometer. This also makes Sechelt Inlet an ideal place for families to paddle and camp.
While paddling on Sechelt Inlet, you can expect to find an excellent example of B.C.'s West Coast natural beauty. The tall, green mountains with their snow-capped peaks tumble into the clear waters below. Mornings and evenings are typically calm and peaceful, offering a time for quiet reflection. During mid-day, thermal winds often blow from south to north creating a more challenging and active paddling adventure.

As you experience Sechelt Inlet and the various smaller inlets, bays and reaches that are to be found up and down its length, you can expect to be entertained by an abundance of wildlife. Spectacular blue herons grace the shoreline while magnificent bald eagles soar high above in search of food or perch in the trees that line the shore. Curious seals appear out of nowhere and accompany most paddlers while a dozen varieties of ducks and other waterfowl fly, swim and dive for food all along the shore. In the evening, loons glide gracefully over the water as their eerie call haunts the still evening air. With a sharp eye, visitors can observe mountain goats high on steep mountain terrain and occasionally glimpse cougars and bears in the thick shoreline brush. Below the water's surface, many species of fish and various marine creatures create a complex ecosystem in a near pristine environment.
See 2015 Tide Tables Here - Visit on XL only to ensure spectacular rapids:
Skookumchuck Narrows forms the entrance of Sechelt Inlet on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast in Canada. Before broadening into Sechelt Inlet, all of its tidal flow together with that of Salmon Inlet and Narrows Inlet must pass through Sechelt Rapids. At peak flows, whitecaps and whirlpools form at the rapids even in calm weather. The narrows are also the site of a Skookumchuk Narrows Provincial Park.
Each day, tides force large amounts of seawater through the narrows—200 billion US gallons (760,000,000 m3) of water on a 3-metre (9.8 ft) tide. The difference in water levels on either side of the rapids can exceed 2 metres (6.6 ft) in height. Current speeds can exceed 16 knots (30 km/h), up to 17.68 knots (32.74 km/h). Although it is sometimes claimed to be the fastest tidal rapids in the world, Norway's Saltstraumen reaches speeds of 20 knots (37 km/h).
"The tidal patterns keep the water moving at virtually all times in the narrows area, which attracts a plethora of interesting sea life."
The unrelated B.C. town of Skookumchuck is several hundred kilometres east in the East Kootenay region of the province. Another location bearing this name, Skookumchuck Hot Springs, is on the Lillooet River east of Whistler. All locations take their name from Chinook jargon for "strong water" and the term is common in maritime jargon for any set of strong rapids, particularly those at the mouth of inlets.
The park protects a wide range of landscapes, including mountain peaks, lakes, streams and wetlands, and the Sechelt area community watershed. Elevations in the Tetrahedron range from 900 to 1,800 metres and include Tetrahedron Peak, Panther Peak and Mount Steele. Recreational opportunities at this park are limited but include hiking, cross country skiing and overnight use of the cabins.Park Size: 6000 hectares
From the main lights in Sechelt at Wharf and Hwy 101 head north on Wharf (turn right if you're coming from the south, go straight through if you're coming from the north); turn right at E Porpoise Bay Rd, which later becomes Sechelt Inlet Rd, and continue for ~10 km; just after crossing the bridge over Grey Creek, turn right onto the Grey Creek Forest Service Road. After ~1 km take the left fork (a memorial marks this major junction) and keep to the main road. You will cross a bridge at ~7 km, and reach the lower parking lot - with info kiosk and outhouse - at 11 km. In summer you can continue 1+ km further to the upper parking lot, but the road is rough and requires clearance.
In winter, when possible, the road is ploughed as far as the lower parking lot.
4-WHEEL DRIVE & CHAINS ARE NECESSARY FOR WINTER TRAVEL ON THIS ROAD. THE ROAD IS POSTED AS 4WD ONLY.
The four cabins were built to accommodate 12, are always open, and are NOT reservable. On weekends and especially during holidays in the winter they are often VERY busy, but the summer sees fewer overnight visitors. They are located at Batchelor Lake, above Edwards Lake, between McNair and Chapman Lakes, and below the summit of Mt. Steele (see our maps page for location maps and Bivouac.com for GPS data). Each cabin has a table and bench seating for 12, a sleeping loft upstairs, a wood stove and firewood, tools, a snow-melting pot, sinks for dishwashing, greywater buckets, and an outhouse. You must bring all your sleeping gear, food equipment (stove, dishes, cutlery), toilet paper, and firestarter (newspaper and matches/lighter). Drinking water can be collected from creeks or lakes near all cabins most of the year. In the winter those creeks may be running but if not snow can be melted on the wood stove and boiled on your personal cooking stove. All water should be treated by chemicals or heat.
"Tetrahedron Park encompasses the headwaters of Chapman and Gray Creeks - watersheds that supply local communities with drinking water. Protection of watershed values is extremely important. Special park regulations are in effect. Please be familiar with park rules before "

From the beginning it was clear that the new West Yorkshire Playhouse was going to be more than just a performing space. In the first 6 years of operation the Playhouse produced 93 of its own productions encompassing classics and contemporary British and European drama, modern theatre from around the world and had implemented a vigorous new writing policy.
Ian Brown succeeded Jude Kelly as Artistic Director in 2002 and brought with him a commitment to continue the vital and established role that the Playhouse was playing in the community. Under his leadership the Playhouse maintained its pioneering community engagement work and gained a reputation for the quality and mix of its work.
Following Ian’s departure in 2012 he was succeeded by James Brining. Although Leeds-born, James arrived via Richmond and Dundee. With new-found vigour the Playhouse continues to develop and expand on the vision of Vital Theatre.
The Playhouse has two theatres, the Quarry with 750 seats and the smaller, more flexible Courtyard with 350 seats. However its reach goes far beyond those two spaces; over the 2015 autumn season its work will be seen in over 60 venues from village halls (Beryl on tour) to Wales Millennium Centre (Sweeney Todd). In recent years plays have been taken out into the local community with Little Sure Shot and Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads being presented in community centres around the city.
51 years on from Doreen Newlyn’s notice to the Arts Council and 25 years on from the opening of the new building, the Playhouse remains as strong as ever, producing great theatre for, and by, its communities in the heart of the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire and the UK.

Any variation of the words “Palestine” and “massacre” are sure to yield millions of results on major search engines on the World Wide Web. These results are largely in reference to hundreds of different dates and events in which numerous Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army or settlers. But references to massacres of similar nature precede the state of Israel itself, whose establishment was secured through the ever-expanding agenda of ethnically cleansing Palestinians. Throughout its history, this bloodletting project has been carried out for once specific purpose, that being the illegal acquirement of land and the suppression or extermination of those who dare to resist.
Israel has denied almost every massacre it has committed. Those too obvious to deny, were “investigated” by Israel itself, which predictably, mostly found its soldiers “not guilty” or culpable of minor misconduct. Israeli “investigations” served the dual purpose of helping Israelis retain their sense of moral superiority, and sending a highly touted message to international media of Israeli democracy at work and the independence of the country’s judiciary.
With the Gaza tragedy of December 2008-January 2009 being the latest in the ever growing list of Palestinian massacres, little seems to have changed the way Israel views its action, with the full approval of the US and the half hearted position of much of the international community.
Nonetheless, on April 3, the United Nations Human Rights Council appointed Richard Goldstone, a South-African Jewish judge to further investigate what the council had already resolved, in a vote on January 12, as “grave” violations of human rights by the Israeli army, in reference to the 22-day Israeli onslaught in Gaza, where over 1,400 Palestinians – mostly civilians – were killed and over 5,500 wounded.
Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP, in response to the UNHRC decision that the investigation was “not an attempt to find the truth but to tarnish Israel’s reputation and to join efforts led by some countries to demonize Israel.” He added, “The investigation has no moral ground since it decided even before it started who is guilty and of what.” Palmor went on to exploit Israel’s ever winning card: democracy, claiming that democratic nations didn’t support the call to investigate the Gaza murders.
But the truth is, the UNHRC didn’t jump to conclusions, but was following up on massive evidence, all pointing to the same inference: that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza.
The work of UN human rights investigator Richard Falk itself represents an inescapable indictment of the Israeli army. His statements and reports of recent months maintained that the Israeli blockade against Gaza is “an unconditional violation of international humanitarian law”, and that “massive assault on a densely populated urbanized setting, subjected the entire civilian population to “an inhumane form of warfare that kills, maims and inflicts mental harm”.
The illegality of the Israeli war and the violations of human rights committed throughout the Israeli violence are not only made clear by the international legal standards used by Falk; many others made similar assessments.
For example, on March 23, UN human rights experts accused Israel, of using Gazans as human shields, highlighting the case of an 11-year-old boy. UN secretary-general’s envoy for protecting children in armed conflict, Radhika Coomaraswamy stated that Israeli “violations were reported on a daily basis, too numerous to list.”
Coomaraswamy “explained that the Israeli army shot Palestinian children, bulldozed a home with a woman and child still inside and shelled a building they had ordered civilians into a day earlier,” Press TV reported. But these were “just a few examples of the hundreds of incidents that have been documented and verified”.
The Israeli onslaught and ongoing siege has cost Gaza dearly, destroyed its humble economy, ruined its arable land and continues to starve its population. Reports of such facts are easily available. The words “Gaza” and “destroyed” are also sure to yield ample results. Falk, a well-regarded Jewish professor knew fully the underpinnings of his statement when he said in late January that the Israeli actions in Gaza are reminiscent of “the worst kind of international memories of the Warsaw Ghetto”.
Still, Palmor, like most Israelis, is not convinced, and continues to sermonize on morality and democracy and the rest of the ever predictable terms. But if Palmor indeed believes of such an international conspiracy of ‘undemocratic’ countries to “tarnish” Israel’s otherwise prefect “reputation”, he might wish to revert to Israeli newspaper Haaretz’s extensive coverage of Israeli soldiers’ testimonies of their own conduct in Gaza.
“It feels like hunting season has begun,” Haaretz quoted an Israeli soldier who served in Gaza as saying. “Sometimes it reminds me of a Play Station (computer) game. You hear cheers in the war room after you see on the screens that the missile hit a target, as if it were a soccer game.”
“There was one house with a family in it… we put them into some room. Afterward, we left the house and another company went in, and a few days after we went in there was an order to release the family. We took our positions upstairs. There was a sniper positioned on the roof and the company commander released the family and told them to take a right,” said another soldier. “One mother and her two children didn’t understand, and they took a left. Someone forgot to notify the sniper on the roof that the family had been released, and that it was okay, it was fine, to hold fire, and he… you can say he acted as necessary, as he was ordered to.”
In a better world, many Israeli political and military leaders would find themselves before an international criminal court answering difficult questions. For now, they remain adamant that the Israeli army is the “most moral” in the world.
One must hope that the term “justice for Palestine” will quit being simply a popular search item, and in fact reflect a tangible reality; so that the extensive list of Palestinian massacres will finally come to an end.

July 1, 2022
This time last year, we completely ran out of bag inventory and we were scrambling to get more. We placed a bunch of production orders thinking it would be 10-12+ months before they arrived. Now they’re showing up way before we expected them, so instead of running out of inventory we’re actually overstocked. What a trip!
To move through some of the surplus we’re running a mid-season sale, with 10% off the entire line, 20% off on a few select items, and free shipping. We don’t do sales very often so it has been really neat to see the response. We’ll keep the sale live at least through July 4th weekend, and then we’ll reevaluate then.
At 10% plus free shipping (15-20% total discount), the sale reverses the price increases from last fall, when shipping costs ballooned and we were bringing everything in by air. We originally hoped to permanently reverse the price increase this year, but now all our other costs have gone up too. The sale is a way to temporarily reverse those price increases while we wait, watch, and see what the economy is going to do.
That’s what’s up with bag inventory. Apparel is a whole different story. We’ve been sold out of most apparel for most of 2022 so far, and the inventory we expected to receive this Spring has pushed out into Fall. The main culprit is the leather on the legs of the Woodsman and Basilisk. Only a few items use leather, but the entire order is delayed.
As of right now, leather is coming, sewing has started, and the first styles – Workhorse Jerseys, Jackalofts, a new soft-shell jacket called the “Surveyor” – will be on a boat next week. More items will ship in July and August, and the entire line should arrive by Black Friday. It’s not a great time to get moto apparel but at this point, we’ll take what we can get. Instead of viewing it as ‘late’ for 2022, we’ll just call it ‘early’ for 2023.
Until everything is back in stock, we’re going to lay low, travel less, cut spending, and scale back events. We’ll use this temporary pause in the calendar to test a new event format we’ve been thinking about, that’s more riding & camping than shopping. We’re going to do the first one the weekend of August 13/14 at our HQ in White Salmon. If you’re interested in that, stay tuned! Or reach out to Ryan directly at ryant (at) moskomoto (dot) com.
In the meantime, we’re seeing all the news headlines about inflation, rising interest rates, shifts in consumer spending, a bearish stock market, and the possibility/probability of a recession. Now feels like as good a time as any to lay low, regroup, focus on new products, and see where this wild ride goes next.
Pre-production samples are trickling in. Here’s a few pics of what we’ve received so far.
Rak Jacket: Rak v1.0 grew from a design experiment into a sleeper hit. Now it’s back in v2.0 with a bunch of improvements and some badass new colors. We added a big kangaroo pocket, a removable hood, a snapback collar, a front zipper flap, and side wind-flap control. After 3 years of riding with the Rak myself and collecting input from lots of other riders, this new version has everything I wished it had. I love this kit.
Surveyor Pant: We love the Woodsman, but sometimes it’s hot. On the Surveyor, we lightened the main body fabric, removed the waterproof/breathable membrane, added micro-mesh venting to the knees and butt, and added a sportier waist closure and pockets. The Surveyor is designed for three-season athletic trail riding and offroad touring in hot weather.
Kiger Mesh Pant: The Kiger Mesh takes Schoeller micro-mesh concept to it’s natural extreme: all-mesh-everywhere. It’s a super abrasion-resistant – even for pavement – super-stretch, in-boot pant for touring and trail. This is a pant you could easily wear on a longer ADV or dualsport trip in summer, and use for trail riding as well. You can’t see much detail in this pic since it’s all black, but it looks really cool in person.
Surveyor Soft-Shell Jacket: This is a stretchy soft-shell jacket for trail riding and enduro-touring, with an over-armor fit that works off the bike and around town as well. It’s like a tough, windproof jersey you can remove with a front zip, which also doubles as a thin mid-layer under a shell.
Jackaloft: The Jackaloft is getting a few small pattern revisions, and a color update.
Workhorse Jersey: the Workhorse Jersey stays pretty much the same, with color updates.
Graph Base Layer: Just color updates here. This is an awesome little shirt, I’ve been wearing it for everything from riding to mountain biking to kayaking.
Mesh Jerseys: These mesh jerseys are already in the line, but we’re suddenly wearing them a lot because it’s warm out!
The New Basilisk:The new & improved Basilisk is delayed till October, which is a bummer. In the good news department though, I’m very stoked on it. We added zipper flaps – something we waffled on for a while and then finally adopted. There’s a new collar that’s less likely to rub your adam’s apple (inspired by the Rak collar, which we all like), and the pant gets new j-shaped vents that allow a ton of airflow. I rode with the jacket a few weeks ago and loved it.
The Barfly: This kit is now slated for Fall 2024. I rode with it a bunch this spring and loved it. It’s an emergency rain layer with a removable hood, that works great both on and off the bike, packs tiny, lives on your handlebars, and doesn’t flap in the wind.
Backcountry Brush Guard: these are looking great. I’ve been using them the last few months and they really work. The brush guards accomplish three things 1) they put a disposable/removable surface between your pannier and the sagebrush, 2) they protect the leading edge/corner from crash abrasion, and 3) they close the gap between the beavertail and the bag, making it less likely to catch on things. Anybody riding narrow tracks on a wide bike with a rack system, should consider these. We don’t have final pricing yet but we’ll make them as affordable as possible to encourage adoption. As a bonus, they look super cool too.
Wildcat Backpacks: Packs are on the way, preorders start next week. This tan is a future colorway, not what’s on the way, but it’s super cool!!!
Gnome & Nomini: Tank bags are on the same boat as the packs, finally!!
Gnat Handlebar Bag: These are finished and about to be ordered for delivery this winter.
Backcountry Pannier: Andrew and DT have been working on some new design concepts for the front of the BC panniers.
First Aid Kit: This is looking good, almost done.
New Rackless Concepts: We’re still playing with different ways to use composite materials in our Reckless bags. It’s a way to mix hard and soft components. We have a bunch of things ready to test in the months ahead.
We’re also adding a helmet hook to the Reckless 80 beavertail.
New MOLLE Layout: Andrew came up with some cool ways to make MOLLE panels work both horizontally as well as vertically.
Mosko Mule Gear Hauler: This bag is progressing fast despite the size and complexity. The biggest problem now, is that it costs too much to ship because of the size. We’re looking at some foldable designs as a possible solution.
Laptop Cases: The composite laptop cases look great!
Shows & Events
In 2022, the IMS tour – a traveling circuit of US motorcycle shows – was canceled, never to return. It has been struggling for years, but COVID was the final straw. That opened up a lot of weekends in our 2022 event calendar, which we immediately filled with other outdoor events and meetups.
This year, instead of setting up a vendor booth, we built a lounge with couches and fire pits, and invited anyone who wanted to camp with us to join. The weather was great and it was a total blast. If you’re interested in the D100, come camp with us next year!
We’ve been to a bunch of other events this spring, including the BMW MOA, Overland Expo, Revzilla GetOn @ Rawhyde, March Moto Madness, the 49er Rally, the One Show, and a bunch of other smaller shows and meetups, mostly around the Western states. We’ve racked up a ton of miles in trucks and airplanes. Taking a little break, will be nice.
Andrew & DT traveled to Vietnam for the first time since 2020. It’s so nice to connect with people in person again. Here are some pics from their trip.
Trailside swim break.
New website on the way.
The Bates Mototel (our free backyard campground for travelers) is open for the season.
Ryan & Donzi’s son Roland, napping in the Mosko show trailer.
Jenn broke her arm at a race in Bend. She’s healing fast, after surgery and lots of metal.
The guys from True North Motos stopped by for a visit.
Ash got a new 501!
Our buddy Pedro made 9 of these awesome light-up Mosko signs, which we’re going to put up for sale on the website.
Wade learned to ‘pong’ (i.e. measure the volume of) a bag.
Fernando joined the staff meeting from his bike.
Reels & Shorts
I’m spending any spare time I can find, learning to shoot and edit videos. Here are a few of my reels/shorts from the last few months. There are many more of these on my personal Instagram (@moskopete).
I’ve also been making some longer-format Youtube-style videos for Mosko. Here are a few from the last few months. There are more on the Mosko Youtube channel.
Hope everyone’s summer is off to a great start with lots of riding!! It has taken forever for the weather to dry out and warm up here in the Pacific Northwest but now the snow is melting, the trails are open, and the season’s happening!

I can't be the only one who thinks of Zabriskie Point whenever this news story gets updated. Can I?
By the way, a domestic DVD of Antonioni's 1970 picture, which I think is really an underrated masterpiece and which I love more every time I see it, is coming out in June from Warner. I would love to see a Blu-ray of the thing, really. I mean, Criterion is Blu-raying Marienbad around the same time. What, exactly, is too much to ask for, I wonder.

THANKS for the memories Malaysia! These were Baljit Singh Charun’s parting words to Malaysian hockey, marking the exit of the last standing Sikh. The memories were good initially, but towards the end, he faced some terribly testing times which he rather forget.
“There is no more reason for me to hang around the training squad, as the coach (Stephen ven Huizen) keeps avoiding me regarding his future plans with me.
“Also, if I am not good enough to represent the country in the Sea Games, that shows the level of confidence the selectors have in me,” Baljit told Jugjet Singh of the Malaysian newspaper New Straits Times.
Sikhs used to dominate hockey in Malaysia, but are now as rare as a white rhino, and Baljit is the lone Lion carrying on the proud tradition in the World League Semifinals in Antwerp, Belgium, wrote Jugjet in an article for Asia Samachar in 2015.
Sea Games is the lowest category for World No 12th ranked Malaysia, and even with a juniors outfit, the country beat a senior Singapore side to the gold medal at their own turf in 2015.
In an immediate response to the story, Perak Sikh Union (PSU) said Baljit was one of Perak’s key players in the Gurdwara Cup, a Sikh competition with teams from Malaysian states and Singapore.
“This year Baljit was a part of our team that won the Hockey Championship in the Gurdwara Cup games which was held in Kl. He demonstrated sheer dedications and sportsmanship during the games. We wish more youths will follow Baljit’s footsteps and indulge themselves in sports and shine like a star in whatever sports they choose,” it said in a Facebook posting.
Baljit joined Tenaga Nasional 2004 and helped them to three overall titles in the Malaysia Hockey League in 2004, 2007 and 2009. He made his senior international debut at the 2007 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup. After which he helped the country win silver at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, and played in many other tournaments including the gold at the 2013 Sea Games, the NST article said.
“Things changed after I helped Malaysian qualify for the Hague World Cup (2014). I gave everything I had in the qualifier (World League Semifinals in Johor 2013) to help the country finish fifth and qualify for the World Cup on merit,” he said.
After the Johor WL Semifinals, the coaching circle was in a turmoil as chief coach Paul Revington came under severe personal and professional attack and decided to leave in a huff. In came K. Dharmaraj, and Baljit’s exit from the sport started.
“After playing one of the best tournaments in my life and qualifying for the World Cup, I felt that the break that I was looking for has finally arrived. I’m going to play in a World Cup.”
But it was not to be. As from being among the top-three defenders in Revington’s squad, Baljit became a shadow in Dharmaraj’s team. And shockingly he was replaced with German-born Kevin Lim, whom Dharmaraj saw playing only once in a tournament in Australia. Baljit’s nightmare started the day he was told that Kevin Lim would be replacing him in the Hague World Cup.
SEE FULL STORY HERE
In a follow-up story by the same author, entitled ‘Van Huizen: No issues with Baljit…’, national chief coach Stephen van Huizen said Baljit has contributed immensely for the last 10 years, but fell a few rungs to younger players recently, and that’s why he was placed in the development squad.
Baljit was then moved to train with the indoor hockey team preparing for the Sea Games, and when he failed to be selected, he quit the sport for good on Monday.
“He has always been a hardworking player, serious in training and never had any issues with any of us (team management) and that’s why I was surprised to read that he felt that I was avoiding him.
“Anyway, I called Baljit and spoke to him and explained the situation where a few players moved up the rung and he had to be placed in the development squad and then indoor hockey.
“Maybe there was miscommunication between both of us as I was busy training the field hockey players while Baljit was with the indoor squad.

Drought is one of the most widespread and damaging of all environmental stresses, affecting 23 million hectares of rainfed rice in South and Southeast Asia alone. Rice is normally grown during periods of high rainfall, the time of year commonly referred to as the rainy season. However, rice is often subjected to periods of severe moisture stress because of the marked variation in time and intensity of rainfall in India. Thus the ability of the crop to withstand drought is essential in most tropical rice-growing areas.
In a recent farmers’ sensitization program jointly organized by IRRI and the Zonal Drought Resistance Paddy Research Station (ZDRPRS) in Purulia district of West Bengal in Eastern India, ZDRPRS informed farmers of the newly available Drought Tolerant Rice Varieties (DTRVs). The program entitled ‘‘Enhancing Productivity through DTRVs with Improved Crop and Weed Management Options in Rice-based Cropping Systems’ organized in the last week of January 2020 elaborated on relevant crop management practices like crop establishment, seed priming, water management, nursery and main field management, and weed management; and discussed possibilities for post-rice cropping in rainfed and undulated uplands.
In spite of getting an average annual rainfall of 1100 mm, Purulia has a cropping intensity of 110 percent, which is the lowest in the state of West Bengal. In the wet season, Purulia receives more than average rain, but due to the undulated land type, this rainwater does not get uniformly used-up. In this scenario, short-duration DTRVs are a blessing for poor marginal farmers for harnessing the full productivity potential.
Although drought-resistant rice varieties are needed most by dryland rice farmers, the ‘drought-resistance’ characteristic is very important also for rainfed wetland rice, as rice yields from rainfed areas are limited by unseasonal drought. Due to less initial rains, farmers fail to accumulate enough water in the fields early in the season, to prepare the lands and ready them for transplanting. Resultantly, large areas in shallow rainfed ecosystems are left untransplanted in the years with less initial rainfall.
Speaking at the farmers’ sensitization program in Purulia, with over 70 progressive farmers and senior officials from the state and district agricultural department attending, Mr. M.C. Dhara, Joint Director Agriculture (Rice Division), Purulia districts, emphasized on the importance of DTRVs in raising productivity of rainfed upland environments and shared experiences of farmers benefiting from modern management practices with DTRVs and traditional rice varieties.
“The emergence of hi-tech and precision agriculture technologies that are available at subsidized prices to cultivate vegetables, oilseeds, and pulses means that even after the wet season, the fields can be optimally utilized for other crops. Sowing time and the proper pairing of post-wet season crops can further enhance productivity. Several technology interventions are already being made to complement the Central Government’s ‘Doubling the Farmers’ Income’ program,” he said.
During the interactive session, speaking on improved rice varieties and the latest farming technologies, Dr. Ashish Kumar Srivastava, from IRRI SARC also provided an overview of agronomic management practices for the newly-released DTRVs. “Matching management practices can produce 0.5 to 1.0 t/ha additional yield of DTRVs when they are cultivated by using the right crop management practices”, he said.
Dr. Bhowmick, Assistant Agronomist at Rice Research Station (Chinsurah, West Bengal) and Mr. Anadi Bhanja, Assistant Director of Agriculture (Farm) for Purulia district, commented on the many ways in which the West Bengal Government is working with the Government of India, in close association with IRRI, for undertaking initiatives to improve productivity potential of rain-deficit areas. “Short duration crops need less water for cultivation and can withstand short to medium spells of soil water scarcity. Utera or Paira cropping systems are important in this case to maximize use of residual moisture for germination of rabi crops, like chickpea, linseed, lentil, and lathyrus,” Dr. Bhowmick said.
IRRI has developed and released several drought-tolerant rice varieties like Sahbhagi dhan, and DRR dhan 42, 43 and 44 in India, wherein field trials suggest that the average yield advantage of drought-tolerant varieties over drought-susceptible ones is 1.0–1.5 tons per hectare under drought conditions. Disseminating seeds of stress-tolerant rice varieties, focusing on women farmers’ empowerment and ensuring gender equity in rice farming, are some of the key initiatives in the area, through which hundreds of progressive farmers have already benefited.

A respected detective has been arrested and suspended after £147,400 of cocaine was allegedly found in his car.
DC Darren Graysmark, 42, a former member of an elite crime branch, was quizzed on suspicion of intent to supply.
The divorced father-of-one was suspended from Sussex police after the drugs were allegedly found in his car being driven by a friend.
His arrest emerged when Darren Simpson, 41, appeared at Brighton magistrates last month accused of intent to supply and money laundering.
Police searched the home he shared with DC Graysmark, in Peacehaven, and allegedly found jewellery, £13,000 of pay-in slips and £12,000 cash. Simpson’s case was adjourned and will go to crown court.
Police said: “An officer has been bailed without charge pending further enquiries and suspended from duty.”

It’s “roll with it” Tuesday 🙂 because we know by faith and trust in God, at the end of this beautiful day, God’s will be done. We have grace and mercy for any challenge. We have security that He loves us. We have His Word to guide us should we need to speak to a situation. We have His ear to hear our prayers. We have His wisdom and knowledge to be brilliant on our jobs.
We have joy because it is my strength. We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, and to them who are called according to his purpose. We know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We know we have the full armor of God to stand against the wiles of the devil and we have His protection.
We can Praise The Lord as we keep moving forward whether we laugh, smile or cry today because God is in charge and has provided for our needs. So smile, laugh or cry and “roll with it” 😀

How to recognize manipulative or unethical behaviours in a psychic, healer or spiritual teacher:
Because this field is unregulated, and also because intuitives and healers can wield a lot of influence, it can on occasion attract the kind of person who is on a power trip. It can also attract people who have deep unresolved traumas or emotions that interfere with their ability to treat clients with respect and as equals (i.e. abusive people.)
You might be the kind of person who would not take abuse in your relationships, yet with a spiritual teacher or healer, abusive behaviours can knock you for six, because you might be open and vulnerable in your spirituality, and open to hearing from an authority, in a way that you might not be to the same extent in your relationship or friendships.
Again, the abusive ones form a small percentage of the people practising. This article aims to help you avoid those people.
Here are four red flags that I have noticed abusive or unethical teachers like to use:
(For purposes of brevity, I’ll call him or her a teacher all throughout this article, but I mean anyone who is either a teacher, psychic or healer, or perhaps all of those at once.)
1. When a teacher tells you that his techniques are better than everyone else’s, and that he has access to wisdom or teachings that no-one else possesses
No one modality is a ‘one stop shop’. No one teacher can be everything to one client or student. That is a good thing. I can’t imagine how insufferable a person might become, knowing they are the be-all-and-end-all for any group of people!!
2. When a healer invalidates you and challenges your subjective perceptions
Invalidation is when a person tries to brainwash you, telling you that the way you see things is not right. Invalidating seeks to distort or undermine a person’s perceptions of their world. It is an indication of emotional abuse when practised consistently. And it’s a form of emotional abuse that unethical healers use to keep you off kilter and not trusting your perceptions and your gut, because then they have more influence over you and you are more likely to agree with them.
3. When a teacher gives you an ultimatum
Other clients I’ve known have been told things like: you’ll never achieve X until you reach perfection or a place of complete healing as a person. It’s not true. God or Source (or whatever you would like to call it) never abandons us. Spirit doesn’t give us deadlines or ultimatums. If a healer or teacher does, it’s about their control issues.
4. When a teacher allows clients or students to put them on a pedestal
This is a big one for me. I am always suspicious of teachers who claim to be enlightened or perfected beings or those who are comfortable with being put on a pedestal. For me, this is a red flag because it belies a need for adoration or admiration that can interfere with the person’s work.
You might not notice these issues consciously, but often you will notice things unconsciously through your intuition. When this happens and something feels a little bit ‘off’, it’s because your unconscious mind has noticed something ‘off’ but your conscious mind hasn’t pinpointed what it is yet. So watch out for a feeling of discomfort even if you can’t explain the reason for it.

Looks and feels like a player’s Iron But let the Titleist 718 AP3 Iron’s surprise you
If you’re a good ball striker but you’d like to see a higher trajectory and more distance on your Iron shots, then the Titleist 718 AP3 Irons have technology that will interest you. Hit just a few shots and you’ll see what we mean.
The design of the face, and the use of tungsten weights, helps to create a higher launch angle and much faster ball speed. Longer carry and greater distances, with each club in the set.
The design creates a much higher MOI allowing you real forgiveness with your ball striking. Not only will you hit this Iron further, you’ll also be more consistent.
There is real beauty in the Titleist 718 AP3 Irons. But, beyond the eye of any beholder, we think you’ll appreciate the beauty of higher and longer.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking today. Thinking about Orlando, the city where my husband grew up. The city where half of my family lives. The city I’ve always thought of as the “Home of the Mouse”.
I’ve been thinking about the people who lost their lives. Thinking about their friends, their families. I’ve been thinking about the first responders…willing to put their lives on the line in order to save someone else’s. I’ve been thinking about the people in hospitals…wounded, scared, needing someone, anyone, to help them. Thinking about the brave doctors and nurses who did just that.
I’ve been thinking about the tragedy of it all. But if I’m honest, I’m tired of it being called a tragedy.
Because it needs to be called hate.
Hate killed these people. Hate destroyed lives. Hate walked into a venue with no goal other than death.
And it appears that Hate succeeded.
But it doesn’t have to.
Ya’ll, I’m so tired of it. I’m tired of hate furthering agendas. I’m tired of people fighting with those they don’t agree with. I’m tired of worrying about the world I’m leaving my son. I’m tired of seeing people I love and care about, ALL people, feeling defeated by a world that defines a win as hurting the other side…..with actions or with words.
I’m just tired.
And I’m wondering…..what if I’m not the only one? What if we could put all of the things that we’re against aside for just a few minutes, come together as a people, and maybe….just maybe….decide on just a few things that we’re all for.
Because I think if we try, we can find some things that we could all agree on.
I’ll bet we could agree that we all want a world that is safe for our children.
I’ll bet we could agree that we all want to be treated with kindness.
I’ll bet we could agree that we all would like to make our little corner of the world just a little bit better than it is.
Right now, I don’t want to talk about how we will do that. Right now I just want to grieve with those who grieve, and mourn with those who mourn.
I don’t want to talk about if my way is better than your way. There’s a time for that. But not right now.
I don’t want to talk about all of the things that honestly, we don’t ever really TALK about anyway.
Instead, we just argue about them.
I know there are many issues dividing our neighborhoods, our cities, our countries, and our world. I’m not naive enough to believe that these issues are easily solved. In fact, when I look at the scope of them, I’m overwhelmed with the enormity of it all. I also don’t have my head in the sand. These are serious issues. Life and death issues.
But I know this.
I do have a few choices.
I can be kind. I can be respectful. I can talk, and more importantly, I can listen.
I can believe in what I think to be true, without having to make an enemy of those who believe differently.
I can recognize that there may well be those who hate me and what I believe….but I can choose not to hate back.
I can’t rid the world of darkness. But I can do my absolute best to be a light in that darkness, because doing nothing is not an option.
I’m tired of people choosing hate.
I’m choosing love.
Love….because Jesus loves me.
Love….. because I am certain that if Jesus was physically walking this earth, that’s what He would be doing.
Love…..because it will be the catalyst for the change this world needs.
I will stand firm in my beliefs, and I will choose to love.
Will my choices change the world? Maybe not.
But they may change my little corner of it.
Because I refuse to let hate win.

Turnip is a bulb–shaped root vegetable. It has experienced a very steady reputation as an unpopular food, but did achieve a small amount of attention in the early 1990s when it was featured in a video game that offered players a simulation of picking one out of the ground and throwing it. “Now let’s all celebrate with a cool glass of turnip juice” is a popular quote in the United States.
Turnip requires a lot of preparation before it reaches any level worth of ingestion, but can be a sound investment when it’s complete. Aside from being good, turnip is interesting in that it’s simply not eaten that frequently.
Turnip became an official snack on May 10th 2012.

Malcolm Timothy Gladwell (born 3 September 1963) is an English-born Canadian columnist, creator, and public speaker. He has been a staff author for The New Yorker since 1996. He has published seven books. Gladwell’s compositions regularly manage the surprising ramifications of examination in the sociologies, similar to human science and brain research, and make incessant and expanded utilization of scholarly work. Outliers: The Story of Success is the third verifiable book composed by Malcolm Gladwell and published by Little Brown, and Company on November 18, 2008.
Outliers have been depicted as a type of self-portrayal, as Gladwell blends components from his own life into the book to give it a closer to home touch. In Outliers, Gladwell inspects the variables that add to undeniable degrees of achievement.
Novel comprise of 9 chapters and an epilogue. This load of chapters is lowered into two sections. The principal half of the book intently takes a gander at how opportunities matter more in the existences of fruitful individuals than difficult work or crude ability. The second half of the book centers around social heritages: conduct inclinations established in their genealogical past.
Section One looks at the job of chance in the existences of incredibly fruitful individuals. Gladwell contends that 10,000 hours of training is expected to dominate an ability, in any event, for wonders like Mozart. Bill Joy, Bill Gates, and the Beatles all endeavored to make progress yet profited from promising circumstances they didn’t make. He contends that “functional knowledge” is just about as significant as “insightful knowledge” for progress. Doors, Joy, and other early software engineers were totally conceived similarly as PCs opened up to people in general.
Section Two researches social heritages. Gladwell contends that social assumptions and propensities can be a serious obstruction to pilots. He shows that difficult work greaterly affects accomplishment in learning math than knowledge. The KIPP school in the South Bronx utilizes longer school days and summer programming to wipe out the accomplishment hole for low-pay kids.
Malcolm Gladwell has a virtuoso for narrating. In his book Outliers, he engagingly recounts accounts of effective individuals from a wide range of fields. He calls attention to significant discoveries, upholds them with exploration, and presents fascinating hypotheses to assist us with seeing how these individuals made their progress. The subtitle of the book is “The story of success” which, from the get go, might summon that it will part with the outline to follow to make a stupendous progress.
In any case, life doesn’t work like that. There is no diagram for progress. There are no alternate routes, no simple ways, and no cheats. The book Outliers has a place with inspirational writing and it doubtlessly propels, astonishes, and engages.
In the book, Malcolm Gladwell splendidly recounts the narratives of fruitful individuals. However, not simply shallow stories which present the accomplishments and achievements the fruitful individuals came to while heading to the top. Malcolm Gladwell gives further stories, loaded with subtleties and clarifications. He recounts more mind-boggling accounts of the lives and professions of the anomalies. Every one of the accounts are drawing in, composed in this way, that you can see them unfurl as motion pictures in your mind. They encourage your interest and you’re craving to look into that individual, the exception, and his life. What’s more, the normal topics the creator finds in examples of overcoming adversity of these exceptions, make you contemplate your own life.
Did you have comparable sorts of benefits and openings in your day-to-day existence as the depicted anomalies? Did you use them or did you neglect them? The book will make you ponder your current circumstance, your folks and companions, openings and benefits you have, your way of life and customs, and how they formed you personally and as an expert. What’s more, how you can this load of impacts with an end goal to create, progress, learn and succeed.
While I was perusing the book, I was unable to quit discussing it. I was flabbergasted by the book and stories it tells, captivated by them, and anxious to peruse more. This is the book I would energetically prescribe to my friends in general and all things considered, some of them will get it as a gift sooner or later. It is simply amazing!

What are your top financial worries? A Gallup poll a few years ago put that question to Americans when it seemed that most of us were worried about funding our retirements. Nearly 60 percent of those surveyed said they were “very or moderately worried” about not having enough money for retirement.
Those worries persist, with a more recent Gallup poll update showing these financial concerns about retirement edge out having enough money for a medical emergency among those who are not yet retired.
The top five financial concerns that had folks very or moderately worried are:
- 58% Not having enough money for retirement
- 58% Not being able to pay medical costs in the event of a serious illness or accident
- 44% Not being able to pay medical costs for normal healthcare
- 43% Not being able to maintain the standard of living you enjoy
- 40% Not having enough money to pay for your children's college
These results didn’t surprise me. I work to educate people every day about managing money and budgets. What I see in these results is that financial education can help to reduce this worry.
And that’s why I love what I do. Together with my team, we visit companies and organizations to provide free financial planning on a number of these issues. And because Hanscom FCU is a nonprofit organization, we have no agenda to sell you products. The goal of our seminars is to hear your questions and get you answers. We offer strategies to help you reach your financial goals.
Retirement planning is one of the most popular topics at our Lunch and Learn seminars. We can deliver lunch to your workplace and spend an hour discussing (virtually) the topic and answering questions — and it won't cost you a dime. Our popular Lunch and Learn topics include:
- Property investment
- Building a budget
- Protecting your identity
- Women and investing
- Estate planning
Credit unions have long prided themselves on being a neutral source for financial education. We are no exception. Helping people understand money management is what I do. If you are interested in learning more about our Lunch and Learn programs, let’s talk.

I was inspired to try making Chinese Shu Mai after receiving yummy homemade Shu Mai from Madam. SL, also I got to use the Shu Mai microwavable tray that I bought from Japan Store.
Here is the recipe I got from mum
- 1 pack Round wonton skin
- 250 gr ground chicken meat
- 4 -5 medium shrimp (peeled, deveined, and diced into small pieces)
- 1 medium shitake mushroom (diced into small pieces)
- 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1/2 stalk small size scallion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 table spoon of water
- Carrot (finely chopped) for garnishing
- Mix the chicken with other ingredients and seasonings and set aside in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Place about a tablespoon of filling on wonton skin, gather up the sides and leave the center open. Garnish the top with some chopped carrot .
- Place a sheet of cloth or parchment paper before placing the Shu Mai to ensure them did not stick on bamboo steamer.
- Steam in a bamboo steamer for about 25 minutes until the wrapper skin turn translucent. Serve hot.
I use the Shu Mai microwavable tray to enhance the Shu Mai shape and decided to steam using bamboo steamer instead of using microwave.
Tada… here is steaming hot Chicken Shu Mai ala RCC 🙂
Happy Friday all…

State of the Union Should Include Proposed Health Care Fixes
Instead, President Focused on Tax Increases
(Washington, D.C.) – As the president prepares to deliver his annual State of the Union address, proposals to fix the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, should be included. Public reports indicate that just as in the first year of the new health care law, public officials are putting enormous pressure on Latinos to enroll – including increased government spending in Spanish-language media. Nevertheless, Latino enrollment under the second year of the health care law continues to disappoint. This is no surprise as recent polling shows more Latinos say they have been hurt by the law than helped by it – and a plurality of Hispanics say it should be repealed. Those who remain uninsured despite the law have cited affordability as a problem – with 40 percent of all uninsured saying they intend to remain uninsured.
Daniel Garza, Executive Director of The LIBRE Initiative, released the following statement:
«Tomorrow night the president will ask Congress to approve hundreds of billions in new tax increases – including a proposal to raise taxes on families saving for college. Hopefully Congress will reject these ideas. It would be better for the president to focus on issues where it is possible to work with Congress – such as addressing the problems with the new health care law.
This law will cost taxpayers $2 trillion over the next decade – yet many Latinos and others continue to reject it. Coverage under the law is priced out of reach of many families, with narrow networks and high deductibles posing serious problems for middle-income families. Six years ago, the president promised lower insurance rates, more choices, and higher-quality care. Instead, the American people have been saddled with more uncertainty and continuing economic challenges. Full-time employment opportunities continue to disappear as employers shift to part-time jobs in order to cope with these costly new mandates. It’s time for the president to revisit those promises – and work on delivering on them.»

The trouble with armchair activism
The gay community can achieve great things when they’re galvanised into action. But movements steered with hashtags and clicks only go so far. It’s time to get off the armchair, writes Troy Chiodo-Gurr.
The ultra-conservative Christian lobby group, the Salt Shakers, have been at this game for years. The moment the words “gay” and “equality” appear in the same sentence, an alert is sent out to their database, complete with a pro forma letter for their members to cut-and-paste, to quash whatever piece of pro-gay legislation, television program or bawdy joke that’s about to get over the line. They’re efficient, ruthless, and often get their man.
In my time in gay media, I’ve also been subject to (and occasionally the subject of) this same form of carpet-bombing. My inbox has been flooded by angry and curiously consistent emails demanding I reinstate a columnist or muddy the reputation of a particular dance party. These orchestrated attacks usually only lasted a few hours. Eventually the perpetrator ran out of friends.
Both of these examples have two things in common - an angry loner, and an address book of able minions. Conservatives are usually pretty good at these campaigns. They’re traditionally more zealous, more fanatical, and more comfortable with telling other people how to live their lives. The liberal groups are invariably younger, disorganised and fractured. Conservatives are soldiers, a well-funded army targeting leaders and decision-makers. The liberals talk of rebellion amongst their Facebook friends and organise poorly attended and ill-defined protest rallies.
In the age of social media (and the penchant traditional media has for giving it airtime), sending in the attack dogs is now a whole lot easier. In the last week alone, social media has been credited for getting an opera singer fired and an Islamic cleric silenced. We should all be so proud.
In many ways, the Opera Australia saga was a perfect storm. Someone found old statements of a soprano and re-posted them on Opera Australia’s Facebook page. A thousand people joined the choir in disapproval. The media took up the story and gave it wider coverage. The sponsors and moneymen got nervous. Apologies were issued. The soprano was sacked. And we all rested easier that night.
I didn’t. I thought about all the things I’d written over the years that could get me fired. I wondered if it was the public’s job to sanction a singer because a handful of us didn’t agree with her personal views. I wondered how many of those thousand people had read the full story, or had simply ‘liked’ it in it’s original 180-character form. I wondered if it made any real difference to anyone’s life. And I wondered if we’d really got our man.
Social media activism (or as one critic called it, “slacktivism”) is sketchy at best. While it’s instrumental in raising awareness to an issue, rarely does it give any context, any bigger picture, or affect any serious change. It caters to, by design, a limited attention span. It preys on ignorance and peer pressure. And in the sphere of activism, it’s small potatoes.
The gay community needs to think bigger. Claiming the scalp of an opera singer for a year-old rant on her private Facebook page is small time. It’s punitive, not proactive, to go after soft targets like villagers wielding pitchforks. We look like bullies - online bullies - hiding behind avatars and pseudonyms, taking someone down a peg whose greatest crime was a difference of opinion, an opinion which was given greater weight by us drawing attention to it.
Social media activism is often too late to the party. One of the most successful campaigns in recent years was launched by the Human Rights Commission, who encouraged Facebook users to replace their profile picture with their photo of an equal sign in recognition of same-sex marriage. 70,000 people did it. At the time, the HRC was drawing attention to the legal battle being waged in California over marriage recognition, a legal stoush that by that point was already several years old. Did the campaign truly change the minds of anyone who wasn’t already on the side of angels? Did it truly aid the legal cause? Did it influence the decision of the Supreme Court? No, it’s safe to assume it didn’t.
What it did, however, was make us feel better. It was a warm and fuzzy. American writer Dan Savage pointed out that his online campaign, ‘It Get’s Better’, gave him direct access to gay and lesbian school children without having to fight the authority of the schools. But fighting the authority of schools is activism. Challenging authority is what creates change. Skirting authority makes you a part of the underground.
And isn’t it about time that gay community reached the surface? The number of people who were outraged by the soprano’s homophobic rant is roughly the same number of people who are members at the Victorian Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby. Who do you want in your corner? The number of people who posted on Opera Australia’s page is roughly three times the number of people who attended our last same-sex marriage rally. Where were you? Is Opera Australia really the villain we should target? Or do we have bigger fish to fry?
Decisions are made by those who show up. They’re rarely made by those who tweet about it afterwards.

Last time we discussed why it can make sense for some companies to spend huge sums of money for a single airing of an ad during the United States Super Bowl. This time we look at how an Australian company uses a different approach to achieve the same goal of positively positioning itself with consumers for long term benefit.
ActewAGL is a company that provides utility services (electricity and gas) in Canberra and southeast New South Wales. Most utility companies offer similar prices and reliability so an important product differentiator has become whether the company is viewed positively by consumers compared to its competitors.
ActewAGL knows this and has developed a program of support that goes deep into the Canberra and surrounding community. Spending about $1 million a year it supports sporting and community groups, charities, academia, the environment and the arts. The idea is to build strong long term relationships with all of these communities.
The communities usually receive financial support and at times ActewAGL staff offer both their time and expertise to a cause. In return ActewAGL receives the loyalty and support of that community group. It is usual practice that to qualify for funding you must be an ActewAGL customer plus there is often accompanying publicity in relation to the funding and other support.
Is ActewAGL being a good corporate citizen or simply instigating an enlightened marketing strategy?
The response from Paul Walshe, Director Marketing and Corporate Affairs, was that it was a bit of both.
“There is certainly something in our approach that helps ActewAGL but also I would hate to see where some of these communities would be without our support. Our approach often makes a real difference.”
“While the cash is spread far and wide we look to where it may be of most value to the community involved. We are not about being on the jumper of a top local football club but more about spending the money at a grass roots level to develop junior players, which is a wonderful way to support kids. Another major component for us is our support of women’s sport across the region.
Does this annual spend work?
“Well customer surveys suggest a vast majority (78%) say it is important or very important for ActewAGL to support the community. Additionally, we grew our Queanbeyan customer numbers strongly after we provided support to Queanbeyan sporting clubs such as the Queanbeyan Tigers, Whites and Kangaroos and charities including The Cancer Support Group and Home in Queanbeyan.
It also boosts employee motivation and morale as staff like to be associated with an organisation that contributes to the community. Demonstrating this, many employees donate their time and effort voluntarily.”
What about the future?
“We are currently looking to have a bigger impact on key social issues of the day and have recently developed a program to combat child obesity.
It would be a sad day if ActewAGL did not continue to support the community at large.”

The privilege of representing China at the 2014 World Lacrosse Championships in Denver was a spectacular experience and a memory I will have for lifetime.
As a Canadian citizen, participating in the tournament as a member of the Chinese national team meant more than representing where I was from, or where I had been born and lived my entire life. It was an opportunity to get in touch with my heritage, meet new people, travel and explore parts of Asia, learn about China and Chinese culture, and lastly, the chance to Grow The Game.
If you saw the Chinese lacrosse team walking anywhere around Denver, you would have had no idea it was the first week several of the players (including myself) had been with the team. The core group of Chinese nationals did everything they could to ensure their new, North American teammates felt like they were just as much a part of the team as anyone who hopped on their 11 hour flight from Beijing to the Denver National Airport.
Having the North American players on the team definitely made the trip to the United States more enjoyable for the Chinese nationals. We were able to educate them when it came to explaining North American customs, help them order food when went anywhere to eat other than Jason’s Thai restaurant (an authentic Asian restaurant on the DU campus), and teach them a lot about lacrosse as few had ever seen the game played at such a high level.
On the flip side of things, the reason the experience will be such a well-defined memory in my own mind is due to the Chinese players. Never have I had the pleasure of playing with a group of such friendly athletes. Every player on the team was incredibly easy to get along with put the team before themselves.
The handful of players who are fluent in both Mandarin and English were able to translate everything between the players who could not grasp what was being said by different people at different times. Our team would not have come nearly as far on or off the field if it weren’t for those individuals and their efforts to keep us all on the same page.
Our mangers and staff were incredibly organized and were always doing what they could to make the tournament as enjoyable as possible. I have yet to play on a team where every player has been so eager to learn about the game, practice as often as they did and have such a strong desire to improve any way they could.
Selecting so many Chinese nationals for the team and bringing them to a tournament of such magnitude and importance really emphasized to China how big the sport is in other parts of the world. The number of countries competing in this year’s games compared to that even four years ago showed how rapidly lacrosse is growing and seemed to really spark the teams aspiration to improve.
After participating in last year’s ASPAC tournament in Beijing and seeing how much the core group of Chinese players have improved, I can promise there is a bright future for China lacrosse. The exposure on the world stage China received will surely influence more Chinese people to play lacrosse and with the current push to get the sport added to some school athletic programs, things look promising.
Playing with this group of guys and watching them improve so much over our week of games reminded me of what it was like growing up playing lacrosse and really made me appreciate everything this game has done for me. This tournament has really fueled my desire to not only continue playing lacrosse, but to stay as involved with lacrosse in China as much as possible.
One of the slogans for China Lacrosse is “Lacrosse makes friends!” It has surely done that for me and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
This was an unforgettable experience and I can only hope I have the chance to help China improve on our world ranking in the 2018 games in Manchester.

The he said-she said continues.
It seemed like the war of words ended in July between Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris after the Playboy founder said his former fiancée "lied" when she told Howard Stern they only had sex once – and that it lasted “like two seconds.”
But months later, Hefner, 85, is elaborating on Harris’s comments, claiming that the couple, whose wedding she called off in June, “had sex once a week” when they were together.
“We had sex with her and a girlfriend,” Hefner tells The Hollywood Reporter. “We had sex the first night that we met with another girl, and it was such a nice relationship that I kept them both over for a weekend.”
Harris, 25, also told Stern in July that she was “not turned on by Hef,” and that she’d “never seen Hef naked.”
Despite the “disappointment of the relationship going south” with Harris – whom Hefner insists initiated the idea of marriage – the mogul isn’t giving up on love just yet.
“I’m looking for a partner,” he says. “A romantic partner.”

- Voice Of The People
Dec 15, 2017-Major problems related to traffic jams are created by micro buses, local buses and taxis (‘Authorities pilot smart traffic light project at two places’, TKP Online, December 13). Due to the lack of protocol on designated drop and pick up places, a bottleneck has been created for other passing vehicles. If this could be managed properly, we would have less traffic jams.
- Shailesh Rajbhandari,
To some extent, I think smart traffic lights can help manage the traffic (‘Authorities pilot smart traffic light project at two places’, TKP Online, December 13). Synchronisation is an old, established system. I wonder why it took so long for Kathmandu to use it. However, to solve the root of the problem, which has to do with a fast-growing number of vehicles, the only solution is to build mass transit and get people off the roads and to use public transportation. There is no other alternative.
- Vivek Singh,
The promises made by the left alliance to the people should be upheld. Now, there is no alternative but to achieve a consensus between all political leaders and parties. The left alliance should be humble about their victory and behave in a dignified manner with other forces (‘UML on top as FPTP vote count concludes’, Page 1, December 14).
At this juncture, people have endorsed their agendas and given them a golden opportunity to lead the country. Therefore, they should proceed to meet the aspirations of the common people. It is the time to stop blaming each other and moving ahead with consensus, unity and cooperation. People are fed up with corruption, unemployment, illiteracy, poverty, instability and so on problems. Now we want a strong, stable, and sovereign government that can fuel development. The ruling parties should take the opposition parties on board.
- Prakash Sarki,
All the local, provincial and federal level elections were successfully held in accordance with the new constitution. Voters enthusiastically participated in all the polls regardless of sporadic bomb blasts and attacks on candidates. Vote counting under the First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) system of the provincial and federal elections are over. Total votes cast under the Proportional Representation system will be distributed among the contesting political parties using the ‘Sainte-League’ formula. Under this system, each party’s votes are divided by a sequence of odd numbers until enough quotients are found to allocate all 110 seats of the House (‘How PR seats are allocated’, Page 2, December 13).
The left alliance comprising the CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Centre) has won the majority seats in both the provincial and federal elections. This indicates that the voters wanted to see a change in the existing political environment. The frequent changes of government in the past was a major obstacle for the overall development of the nation and a big concern of the people. Only the leaders of the political parties benefitted from that unstable political environment. Still, it is yet to be seen whether the left alliance of the UML and MC will remain intact in the days to come and fulfil the promises they made during the election campaign. I would not be surprised if this left alliance breaks up in the coming days considering their past political activities.
The Nepali Congress (NC) was the big loser in the recent elections. Voters seemed to be less optimistic about its future political performance based on its past political blunders. The impeachment motion against the then Supreme Court Chief Justice, political interference in the appointment of Inspector General of Police and a jumbo Cabinet of 64 ministers undermining the elements of new Constitution were some issues with the Deuba led government. The intra-party political feud of NC also contributed to its weak performance. The time has come for the NC to seriously contemplate its past weaknesses and political blunders in order to avoid sliding further down the political drain in the days to come (‘Deuba ‘in no mood’ to resign as NC chief’, Page 1, December 13).

Futures rose as much as 3.4% in New York, clawing back much of Wednesday’s 4.7% plunge. Saudi Arabia won’t tolerate continued price weakness and is considering all options, according to an official from the kingdom who asked not to be identified. That came after a surprise increase in U.S. stockpiles, the first gain in eight weeks, which helped push down prices on Wednesday.
Crude has fallen around 10% this month as a deterioration in relations between the world’s two biggest economies worsened an already bleak consumption outlook. Growth in global oil demand is slowing and won’t exceed 650,000 barrels a day in 2019, according to Vitol Group, the world’s largest independent oil trader. Bullish factors look pretty scarce now that American stockpiles have stopped sliding and tension in the Persian Gulf seems to have receded.
“The market is looking for how these big oil producing and oil exporting countries react to the big sell-off that we’ve seen,” said Edward Bell, director of commodity research at Dubai-based bank Emirates NBD PJSC.
West Texas Intermediate oil for September delivery added $1.28, or 2.5%, to $52.37 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as of 10:45 a.m. in London after rising as much as $1.75 earlier. The contract fell $2.54 on Wednesday to the lowest close since Jan. 14, capping an 8.2% slide over three days.
Brent for October settlement climbed $1.08, or 1.9%, to $57.31 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe Exchange. It plunged 4.6% on Wednesday. The benchmark global crude traded at a premium of $5.01 to WTI for the same month.
Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, has already cut production more than required under an agreement between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies. Planned gatherings in Abu Dhabi early next month will be critical for leaders of the OPEC+ group, especially the Saudi and Russian energy ministers, to signal their intentions on production, said Helima Croft, chief commodities strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
U.S. nationwide crude inventories rose by 2.39 million barrels in the week through Aug. 2, compared with the median estimate for a 2.7 million barrel decline in a Bloomberg survey. Gasoline stockpiles also climbed, an alarming development during what is typically the peak summer driving season.
Vitol Group’s Chief Executive Officer Russell Hardy said in a Bloomberg TV interview that oil markets are focused on the trade war, while “slightly under-pricing” the risk of supply disruptions in the Persian Gulf. Weak demand in established markets is spurring the company to focus on emerging economies, he said.
“Oil prices have clawed back some losses, but the sentiment remains overly bearish,” Stephen Innes, managing partner at VM Markets, said in a note. “The big question remains: will the verbal intervention be enough to stem the tide, or will oil traders use this opportunity to increase short positions.”

Native chef gives culinary workshop in D4
Gila River Indian News
Gila River Indian Community members attended a workshop with a Native chef known for his innovative approach to healthy cooking. The Gila River Nutrition Coalition invited Sean Sherman to the Community for a cooking workshop at the District 4 Multipurpose Facility on Jan. 21.
Sherman is the owner of a self-startup catering business called The Sioux Chef, which serves the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. Born on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, he is of Oglala Lakota descent. Sherman has focused his culinary skills on bridging the gap between traditional food systems in a modern context.
“The workshop was designed to benefit staff and Community members, who want to expand their knowledge of cooking nutritious Native foods,” said Lynn Lane, Community Health Nutrition Program Nutritionist.
Cooks from Casa Blanca Community School, Gila River Health Care, Elderly Nutrition, Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and Community Health Nutrition, and individual Community members, were present to take part in the cooking workshop.
On the menu was a three-bean turkey red chili stew, hominy, corn polenta with roasted jalapenos, squash with pesto sauce; salad with plum and toasted wheat berries, wild rice with mushrooms. Each was either made with ingredients made from Ramona Farms products or was supplied by Sherman.
At the heart of the cooking workshop the ingredients used were Ki:Kam Huun, Stotoah Bavi, S-oam Bavi, Huun Haak Chu’I, Olas Pilkan, and Kalvash were in keeping with the traditional foods used by the Akimel O’otham.
Lane said, “We hope to include a history presentation on Native American diets and help motivate participation and retention in tribal programs offering opportunities and support for preventive health care activities, healthy lifestyle choices and self-improvement or personal development.”

The appartament is fine, when i have got some issues with the wifi Rohan was responsive and helpful.
Apartment just as described, clean and tidy with a good secure coded door entry. Shops and subway very close. Host Rohan easily contactable by phone.
Very nice apartment in Brooklyn! We liked everything: the neighborhood,
the spacey bedrooms and bathroom, it is clean and nicely furnitured. Supermarket only 5 minutes away.
A quiet place to stay after visiting busy Manhattan, less expensive than staying in a hotel in Manhattan and much more cosy!!
The apartment is spacious and offers enough room for four people. It sleeps up to six but I imagine that a bit too crowded. The kitchen offers everything you need. Each room has a TV though we did not use the TVs in the bedrooms. The TV in the living room suffers a bit from a not perfect connection which causes interruptions while you are watching. There is barely no noise from the neighborhood. Just the house itself has quite thin walls so you can hear everything from up- or downstairs.
The bathroom is very nice. Unfortunately, we could not use the bathtub, it broke right on the first day. Considering past guest reviews this seems to be a recurring problem. We had the impression we were blamed for the damage although we did not do anything.
There are not enough towels in the bathroom, so consider bringing one extra towel.
There are supermarkets close by, the next metro station that takes you to Manhattan is not too far.
Rohan's wife is very sweet and the perfect host.
Since we have stayed in NYC a couple of times in different place and areas and can compare diverse kinds of housings, we overall would recommend this apartment in terms of price/value.
Nice area around Boulder Lake and Lake Harmony with lots of outdoor activities to do. Unfortunately you can only go to the swimmingpool and to the beach of Boulder lake if youbecome a member of the private Club. In the house weren`t any sheets or towels available and it seemed as if the house hadn`t been used for quite a long time.
The appartment was really nice and we had some beautiful days i NYC. Rohan (the host) was helpfull and courteous. We stayed for a week and if there is anything we should propose as an improvement it must have been to change the towels .
We had a really nice stay in the apartment.
The apartment is very clean and cozy.
Rohan is the perfect host, we had no problems at all.
We will certainly recommend the apartment to others.
The apartment matches the photos. it is clean and spacious, very functional.
It is also well located, close to the metro (10-minutes) and 20 minutes from lower Manhattan.
However, two negatives:
- In this apartment scheduled for six, there are only 4 chairs (this issue was already discussed on the forum ...)
- We had to leave the apartment at 11 am and our flight was at 19h. We wanted to leave our luggage 2 or 3 H inside apartment. The owners have asked us 50 dollars to leave. After a 9-day rental is petty.
Rohan and his wife are very nice and the appartment looks exactly like on the pictures. The kitchen is well equiped, you´ll find everything you need for breakfast and dinner. The bathroom is in a good condition and there are towels and a hair-dryer for you to use, so you don´t have to bring your own!. The bedrooms have a tv and there is enough space for your clothes. The beds are comfortable. I´ll recommend to bring eraplugs if you have a light sleep. It is not noisy but if you are not used to hear some car sounds it would be better. We slept very well! It is a great place to discover NY. There are two metro stations nearby and it takes about 45 mins to Manhattan. The neighborhood is nice and friendly. We had a great vacation.
Great thanks to Rohan- it was a pleasure to stay in your apartment. It was a place of silence in this very busy town! Best wishes and take care for the rooms in the future as well!
Greetings from austria- Romana and Heinz

Amul, India’s largest dairy cooperative, is angry with trademark authorities for letting other firms get away with using its brand name.
Amul Dairy and the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, have filed a case in the Gujarat high court on Dec. 26 against five trademark registry offices in the country: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad. These registries, it alleges, have failed to act against those using its name, or similar-sounding brand names, to promote their products, The Economic Times newspaper reported on Dec. 27.
“Amul has been recognised by trademark authorities as a well-known brand. It cannot be registered in any (other) category,” RS Sodhi, managing director, GCMMF, told Quartz. He was referring to a 2015 notification by India’s Intellectual Property Appellate, a legal entity that looks into such disputes. ”This means authorities cannot entertain any application from anybody under the Amul brand name (or logo) in any category,” he added.
Amul, popular for its milk, butter, cheese, ghee (clarified butter), and chocolates, is a household name across India and retails through millions of outlets. It registered a turnover of Rs27,043 crore (pdf) in the last financial year. Its size and scale makes the Amul brand susceptible to infringement. And the five trademark authorities have been accepting applications from others for the registration of the Amul brand name, Sodhi said. These “others” include bakers, garment makers, and mineral water firms.
In 2013, Amul won a case against a West Bengal-based dairy cooperative over the sale of “Imul” brand of milk. Another Kolkata company even now sells a range of inner-wear products under the Amul brand name. ”Litigation with each of these companies takes time. That is why we are now seeking to restrain the trademark registries from entertaining any application for the Amul brand name,” Sodhi said.
Formed in 1948 in Gujarat’s Anand, Amul began as the Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union. Over the years, it became the backbone of India’s “White Revolution,” turning the country into one of the world’s largest milk producers. Today, the GCMMF works with 3.6 million milk farmers, procuring 18 million litres of milk daily, making it the world’s 13th largest dairy organisation.

Fun Summertime Learning!
Our King’s-Edgehill 2021 ELL Summer School was a great success. We had students from Finland, The Ukraine, Germany, Mexico, China, Japan, and Spain. Our English Camp was a great opportunity for students to settle into a routine, get to know some of their teachers and house parents and to make friends with students from all over the world. We had classes in the morning to help students develop their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, and activities in the afternoon that taught our campers about life and education in Nova Scotia.
Whether it was touring Halifax on the Harbour Hopper, visiting the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site or tidal bore rafting down the Shubenacadie River, students and staff enjoyed every experience to the fullest. The group had the opportunity to kayak in the Atlantic Ocean and Mersey Lake. We also went whale watching, played paintball, visited Haliburton House Museum, made crepes, built and programmed robots, enjoyed improvisational theatre, learned how to workout in the fitness centre, and of course everybody’s favorite, went shopping and watched a movie.
The staff at the camp and at various hotels, attractions and restaurants were quite impressed with the manners and personalities of our students. We are grateful to have had such a wonderful and exuberant group this year. Thank you very much to all staff and students for making this camp such a wonderful experience for everyone.
KES inspires academic, athletic and artistic excellence with a commitment to the traditional community ideals of gentleness and learning, dignity and respect, so that students may discover and cultivate their unique potential, prepare for post-secondary education and develop a life-long enthusiasm for the spiritual and intellectual growth necessary to flourish in the contemporary world.

Why Should Students Learn to Code?
It’s December, which means it’s the Month of Code! Month of Code is a month dedicated to celebrating and using coding in the classroom. To celebrate, each blog post in the month of December will feature specific aspects of coding in the classroom. We’ll start by sharing why students should learn to code, and throughout the month, we’ll share the top 5 skills students learn from coding and feature some of our favorite coding resources.
You may be asking yourself, should I teach my students how to code? The subject can be controversial, depending on who you ask. So, let’s start by asking the bigger question, WHY should students learn to code?
Coding, in many ways, is simply a skill like addition, division, or conjugating verbs in another language. It’s more complex, of course, but at its core, it’s a skill. Many platforms for teaching coding work primarily on building the skills of coding. When coding is paired with an examination of computational thinking and lateral thinking strategies, however, we come closer to unlocking its true potential as a force for creativity and innovation. If we want our students to be able to do more than just write lines of code, we have to combine coding skills with a conceptual framework for applying those skills.
Coding teaches students how to better understand the world we live in. Erik Missio details in his article Why Kids Should Learn to Code (And How to Get Them Started), “If grade-schoolers are taught biology and mathematics in order to understand the world around them, then knowing the basics of how computers communicate—and how to engage with them—should be a given.”
Even if a student isn’t on a STEM career track, coding is beneficial. No matter what career path they take, all students will benefit from an understanding of both computational and lateral thinking. Both will inform their understanding of how the technology they use everyday functions, and both will be valuable strategies in the way they approach complex tasks in other disciplines. For example, coding builds on skills needed for a variety of jobs, such as working with large data sets, solving large problems, and creating solutions.
According to code.org, only 40% of schools in the US are teaching students how to write code in dedicated computer science courses. More students can gain exposure to coding and build on skills needed in the future from teachers bringing this lesson into their classrooms.
This doesn’t mean that all students need to have an in-depth knowledge of how to code. Just having basic knowledge of how it all fits together can help build skills that are essential in the classroom and beyond. Software developer Steve Atwood compares the skill of coding to being a mechanic in a 2014 NPR All Things Considered interview. “There are tons of cars, there’s tons of driving … but I think it’s a little crazy to go around saying everyone should really learn to be an auto mechanic because cars are so essential to the functioning of our society. Should you know how to change oil? Absolutely. There are [also] basic things you should know when you use a computer. But this whole ‘become an auto mechanic’ thing? It’s just really not for everyone.”
Bringing coding projects into the classroom can be a fun way to teach skills that cannot be taught on their own. Next week we’ll dive deeper into coding and explore the top 5 skills students can learn through coding.

Mark Verber: Titanium Goat recently redesigned their Goat Poles. An internal ferrule makes it possible to split into 2 pieces. At 6oz and $130, they're worth a look.
My wishlist isn't too complicated:
-A generous-length raincoat at 8oz or less.
-A Quantum windshirt with a 2-layer hood and a legitimate 1/2-length zip.
-A running-worthy pack, about 1500ci and less than 12oz, with everything I need and nothing I don't. I'll spare you the details :)

The current time which has just started in Sep 2022 is quite favourable and conducive to you in many ways including relationships, thus it is possible that you could have some genuine relationship engagement.
Just give it few months time to assess and you would get enough hints of the seriousness of this relationship. You will have a good and enjoyable time ahead.

I received an email from Christopher Engman, CEO of Vendemore, asking me what I thought of the Van Damme Volvo video that went viral to the tune of 57M views and counting for Volvo Trucks.
It's a great stunt, dubbed The Epic Split
Volvo created the video to showcase its new precision steering feature on the big rigs.
It's a really good piece. But all anyone can talk about is the number of views and the parodies being made in imitation.
What do I think about it? Well, that depends on a couple of things I don't have the answers to:
- Did it put any leads in the pipeline?
- Did it even get to the right audience?
Depending on the goals that Volvo had for the video, if it was about any kind of awareness and traffic, then yes, it did beyond great. But B2B marketing can't afford to be focused on random volume. B2B marketing needs to be targeted and based on driving some type of intentional behavior from prospects. Everything else is a bonus.
I think it's a great way to catch attention. But there needs to be more. Once they've gotten their target market's attention, what will Volvo do with it?
I might have thought about how I could feature it on a web page that also showcased more information about the precision steering and how businesses are finding true value from having that feature in their fleets. At the very least, a call to action at the end of the video leading to more information would be vital for assessing how well they reached their target audience or if it was just a great stunt.
I mean, it's not often that fleet drivers will be helping some insane person do the splits, right? Wouldn't that just make a great impression on the Health and Safety folks?
So Volvo's truck division got its name out there, but what else did this very costly campaign deliver?
Viral is great, but marketers need to think about how it will connect the dots between getting random attention and getting attention of their target audiences - and most importantly - being able to redirect them to more vital information that will improve the relationships they're trying to build.
As marketers, we love the attention that going viral can bring. Most of us are more creative than scientific and we appreciate others recognizing what we do. But in B2B complex sales, the end goal can't be going viral. It does, however, make a great starting point if you're able to make sure your target audience is among the millions viewing it - and taking the next steps you incorporate to keep the story rolling.
*As a disclaimer, I don't know the inside scoop on Volvo's intentions, I'm speculating. But I hear a lot of B2B marketers talking about "going viral" and they need to think about what comes after that...
What do you think?

On any ordinary day you can find me full of hope and positivity for what the future holds for me & my loved ones. Specifically how we’ll continue to encourage and inspire one another to reach harder and further for the brass ring. How we’ll always be one another’s advocate for dreams attained, lives well lived, and giggles through “senior moments.” It sucks, then, that this is no ordinary day. Today I’m feeling much like cold, sodium-free broth….bland and unappealing with no possibility of being a delectable dish or even the base for something more appetizing.
You see, the past couple of days have been physically unpleasant, and feeling physically unwell contributes to feeling psychologically and emotionally unwell, too. I suspect that this is the way it is with most who’ve been diagnosed with cancer. My physical issues are persistent reminders that I have been personally smacked by cancer. Right in the forehead. Everyday I see the imprint. On good days, though, it’s a mere shadow instead of the throbbing red beacon that it is today. A beacon that flashes Life’s Not FAIR!!! It’s not.
When I was diagnosed three years ago at the ripe old age of 40 with pancreatic cancer, I thought there MUST be a reason for it. There must be some environmental or hereditary or karmic contributor. And in the three years since one of the worst days of my life, there is still no apparent reason. The truth is that our global medical community remains in the dark about causes for this swift and deadly disease, and continues to struggle to affect early detection. While modern medicine struggles with that, those like me struggle with acceptance, anger, and unfortunately abandonment.
It’s amazing how many so-called loved ones turn heel & hit the happy trails when the going gets tough and their support is needed. There have been no fewer than four friends & family members who, upon learning of my fight for life, decided that it was too much for them to bear. As if the road would be easy for me. I guess since it was my cancer, I owned it, it would be easier for me? My situation was more fortunate than so many others: I was able to have surgery to remove the tumor that quietly grew inside, secretly stealing my hopes of a long and joyous life, a family of my own, finding a career that creatively challenged me. While I was being robbed, those on whom I relied figuratively locked their doors and drew their blinds.
The fighter in me says, “Screw them!!! I am my own fortress!” The mere mortal asks, “Who the hell wants to be a fortress???” Seriously. Being that – a fortress – forces one to keep everything, both good and bad, at bay. I have a support system. People who’ve been around and will
continue to be in my corner cheering me on. That’s what I keep telling myself. There are far too many times, however, when a cheer is not enough. I need a hug. I can’t help feeling that at some point the only one standing in this corner will be me. Alone. I am currently cancer-free, but if it returns who else is going to bail out? Who else will slowly pull away until our communication is reduced to the occasional text message? Is it possible to feel more alone during a greater time of need than I do now? And now…now I’m defective. My body has betrayed me in the most unimaginable way. There is no man in his right mind who would welcome the adventure of loving someone with such a miniscule chance of survival.
All things considered, I am doing exceptionally well, which sounds funny in light of how I feel today. Maybe I’m not so well emotionally. Okay, maybe not so well psychologically, either. I make do; I’m not dead. There are physical effects of my new organ deficiency and configuration. Things don’t work like they used to; this is my new normal and my new normal is sometimes depressing. There are lingering effects of 6 months of chemo, especially fatigue although chemo ended over 2 years ago,. Oddly enough, full time employment isn’t conducive to midday naps. I should be thrilled, though, that finally I get to begin shaving my pits & legs again! Every woman’s dream, right?
Of the few with whom I’ve shared my diagnosis and journey of acceptance and healing, I don’t think any truly get it. They see me and their perception is that all is well. In fact, I maintain a semblance of an ordinary life in spite of all the times I need a helping hand and there isn’t one being offered. Granted, I’ve never been one to often ask for help, but it seems to me that those who know would offer.
I would offer…Wouldn’t you?

Discussion in 'The Bar' started by Rod-Stroker, Oct 11, 2015.
Bought a 2016 KTM 500 exc
6 days,dual sport.
Yeah it's a bad ass piece of machinery.
I thought you meant a scooter
I need to gear it down,toss the restricted California exhaust tip and re-map the fuel injection which will greatly improve throttle response still breaking in the engine will change oil at the 3 hour mark.
Take it off any sweet jumps yet?
I pulled a wheelie through 3rd gear on my 2nd ride, does this count ?
my niece just got a new scooter too.
Looks like a nice ride. Have fun.
great bike, love those KTMs
don't forget to change the oil "at the 3 hour mark"
Will you remind me on Tuesday as I'm very forgetful
did you get a good deal?
I recently bought 2 new couches, 2 tables, and a rug
18 months interest free so I was all "heck yeah!"
don't bother looking for the thread though - I didn't add one
is "scooter" a euphemism for 14-year-old runaway ?
Don't break your hip
I bet she puts a Hello Kitty sticker on the exhaust
She was scooting around in the house with strobe lights on and blasting Naynay, get up and Dance song
I wouldn't look for anything you post because you are a dick sucking homo.
Only in your twisted thought process
Hip is fine, two weeks it will be a year since the replacement best thing I have ever done and have been pain free this whole year.
If you knew anything about a four stroke exhaust you'd be cooler in my book.
You have just been bitch slapped in a Stroker multi quote
You gonna street ride that thing Rod?
I'd like to get a GS1200, I'll prob settle for the 800, since the 1200s are so damn expensive, even the used ones

Long-term preventive effects of multisystemic therapy on criminality in siblings of juvenile offenders
Metadata[+] Show full item record
In this study, the author examined the long-term criminal outcomes of 110 nonreferred siblings of serious and violent juvenile offenders who had participated in either multisystemic therapy (MST) or individual therapy (IT) in a randomized clinical trial (Borduin et al., 1995). Arrest and incarceration data were obtained on average 25.0 years later when siblings were on average 38.4 years old. Intent-to-treat analyses showed that recidivism rates were significantly lower for siblings in the MST condition than for siblings in the IT condition (43.3% vs. 72.0%, respectively). In addition, siblings in the IT condition were about three times as likely to be convicted of a felony and more than twice as likely to be sentenced to incarceration and probation during adulthood. This investigation represents the longest and most comprehensive follow-up to date of sibling participants in a family-based treatment and demonstrates that MST has long-term benefits for brothers and sisters of serious and violent juvenile offenders.

Driving to work today, I was considering this nearing recession of ours. Well, really the recession is upon us with a depression nearing, if we’re not careful. I just looked around at all the people on the highway, all of us in our cars heading to work. I wondered how many of them were doing the very same thing I was doing. We’re all going on our merry way, just trying to get through whatever kind of day we were about to have. How many people got laid off today? I don’t know.
I also got to thinking, all these bank closings and sellings and what not (Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, AIG), they seem to affect the people at the top right now. All these big wigs that thought they were being so sneaky and screwing the life out of homebuyers with “predatory loans” are now getting screwed right back. Seems karmic in a way.
But all this will trickle down eventually, don’t you worry. I’m sure of it. I wish there was a good fix. There’s just not. The federal bail out is a temporary fix at best…and by printing $750B more dollars, we’re just weakening the economy more than it already is. But if they don’t bail out AIG and the like, what will that end result be. I wish it were as easy as just saying, “Well you’re the ones that made the bad decisions that got you here…deal with it.” A guy came into our office today and was doing the hi-hello greetings and saw the sign on my cube wall that says, “Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.” and he was like, “Hmm….how true it is” and then delved into a brief discussion about the economy. It’s kind of true though. Why are we paying for the sins of others?
This is just such a bizarre time for the country right now. I look around a just tsk-tsk and shake my head most days.

(CNN) -- Three Portland, Oregon, teens are accused of luring a classmate into a shed, hitting him in the head with a crowbar, shooting him with a BB gun -- and then using a box cutter to carve a swastika into his forehead.
"There is no understanding what they did," Kelli Murrain, the victim's mother, told CNN affiliate KPTV. "Roll it around in your head and you just go, 'Oh my God.' For the grace of God I could have lost my youngest son."
The incident took place February 10, police say.
On Wednesday, authorities charged the teens with kidnapping, robbery, assault and menacing.
A 14-year-old, also accused of taking part, will be tried as a juvenile.
According to court documents, Montgomery told police detectives that she was the "bait" to lure the 16-year-old victim, Dustyn Murrain, to the shed where the alleged assault took place.
The teens were after the victim's skateboard and cash, according to a probable cause affidavit.
All of them are students at David Douglas High School.
"I just think the whole idea is just messed up," senior Mark Collins told affiliate KATU. "Why would you do that to someone? Especially with a crowbar and BB gun."
It's not clear whether the wound on Dustyn's forehead will scar.
Kelli Murrain said her son will wear a silicon patch there to help with the healing.
"He's been severely traumatized not just physically, but emotionally," Murrain said. "It's something he's gonna live with forever, especially if the scar of (a) swastika doesn't go away. Every time he looks in the mirror he's gonna have that memory."
CNN's Mayra Cuevas contributed to this report.

Buying with Codys
Your first step should be to get advice from an independent mortgage advisor. They will guide you through your options and let you know how much you can afford.
To put yourself in a good buying position and to have any offer you make taken seriously, you will need to be proceedable i.e. able to buy without having to sell first. Therefore, get your house on the market as soon as you can. If you get an offer, it will remove the pressure of having to sell when you find somewhere special. Don’t worry about ending up homeless because you can make it clear from the start that you’re not moving out until you’ve found a new home. Also, once you’ve accepted an offer on your home, you’ll know how much you have to spend on the new one!
It’s human nature to try and strike a deal. But if you find your ideal home and it seems to be priced correctly, you should consider an offer of the full asking price. It means you will be taken seriously, there won’t be any time wasting and it will lessen the possibility of another party stepping in.
All offers should be made with the stipulation of taking the property off the market. Some vendors will want to see a survey first to see a firm financial commitment. If this is the case, hurry the mortgage valuation along or instruct your own immediate personal survey. Getting a sold board outside is a good way to dissuade others from looking.

Here are a couple interesting facts that I learned in school:
1. Horses do not vomit
2. Cows produce between 100-200 liters (yes, liters) of saliva a day!
Had my long day today, just got done studying the lectures, it takes awhile! Will be heading to Eureka tomorrow night after I finish studying and then off to West Bend Saturday morning. I am looking forward to the trip although I will be studying on the way out and on the way back.

The ideal fluorescence imaging of live cells with the UIS2 systems!
Effective compensation for chromatic aberration up to near-infrared
The UPLSAPO series is the highest class UIS2 objectives, whose super apochromatic features effectively compensate for chromatic aberration from the visible spectrum all the way to near IR. This means that just one objective covers imaging from UV to IR range. The series also offers outstanding image clarity without color shift for multi-color observations using fluorochromes covering a wide wavelength spectrum.
High transmittances over a wider wavelength range
UIS2 objective achieves flat, high transmittance from visible to near-infrared light, thanks to new UW multi-coating which effectively cuts reflection over the super wide band spectrum. In particular, transmission in the near infrared range is significantly enhanced. Overall, performance all across the wavelength range is ideally suited for today's most demanding research applications.
All UIS2 objectives and WHN eyepieces: lead-free eco-glass.
What is UIS2 (Infinity-corrected Optics) ?
Infinity-corrected optics incorporates a parallel luminous flux between the objective and tube lens. This is known as the infinity space. Even if a mirror is inserted into the infinity space, there is no image distortion and no deterioration in image quality.

Learning how to be present, attend to others, know what’s important in a given moment and stay focused on it has always been a vital part of growing up. “The ability to focus is a secret element to success that often gets ignored,” according to an article in Mind/Shift that cites the work of psychologist Daniel Goleman, an author of a book about this.
Because this piece about distraction leads with a reference to digital devices in the classroom, a quick uncritical read might lead to what has almost become a default conclusion: that digital devices in the classroom are a problem and barring them the solution. I say “default” because arguments for blocking or banning digital media as a source of safety and other desired outcomes for children are about as old as the public discussion about kids and digital media (almost 20 years old). Yet these media and technologies are here to stay, increasingly embedded in our personal and professional lives, so it would be helpful to our children to resist that default response and – speaking of focus – focus on helping them develop the literacies of effective media use.
What is it that distracts?
“If I had to stare at the textbook in that photo [at the top of the Mind/Shift article], I would also be distracted. Even without a device, I would be distracted by my own thoughts!” wrote Tim Clark, EdD, in an email. Because he helped his (Forsyth County, Ga.) school district develop and implement its mobile learning or BYOT (bring-your-own-technology) program, I asked him for his thoughts on the Mind/Shift piece.
“Even though distraction has been with us much longer than digital media have,” he wrote, “if we choose to believe digital media are causing it, then it’s only logical that we use digital media to learn how to focus in digital media.
“Distraction is a behavior,” he continued. “It’s not device or technology specific. How to manage possible distractions is an on-going, everyday lesson, and it could also be taught as media literacy/digital citizenship … within the context of using technology tools throughout the school day and curriculum.”
Engagement vs. distraction
That’s exactly what New Jersey teacher Marianne Malmstrom has been doing for several years with students in grades 3 through 8 in the digital environment called Minecraft. Distraction, she wrote me after I asked for her thoughts on Mind/Shift article too, “will become more and more an issue as kids become less willing to conform to an outdated mode of education [see this Wired article]. I don’t think schools have to become like games to work, but I do think we have much to learn from games if we are going to redesign learning spaces that will be relevant to this generation [97% of which plays videogames] and those to follow.”
All kinds of learning, both academic and social, happens in Minecraft in her classroom at the Elisabeth Morrow School, but what she first started working on with her students in Minecraft and other digital environments was citizenship. She’s using these game environments as safe places for them to develop, practice and model social norms, self-regulation and a collective kind of “classroom management” that’s more about self-determination and consensus than a teacher’s control. This resonates with what Tim Clark is working on in Georgia.
Respect affords engagement
“When teachers have high expectations for how students are using their technology tools within a supportive learning community,” Clark wrote, “students want to use them responsibly. Students have had years of experience teaching themselves and each other how they should use technology, but often without the guidance of their teachers or parents. That is why I think students should have their technology devices at school so that they learn how to manage possible distractions within the context of the classroom.”
I doubt that, if Daniel Goleman had a chance to observe these educators working with their students in and with digital media, he’d disagree. According to Mind/Shift, daily “digital sabbaths” isn’t the only attention-teaching tool Goleman advocates for. “He’d also like to see schools building exercises that strengthen attention, like mindfulness practices, into the curriculum.” Certainly, getting social-emotional learning into the school day will help, but think of the power of getting it into digital-media environments in the school day, with the guidance of a teacher who respects students and their media interests demonstrates the importance of focus and mindfulness in any environment, whether physical or digital.
- Students, their principal, parents and teachers including Marianne Malmstrom (mentioned above) gather to talk about and give a video tour (on YouTube) of students projects and learning on their school’s Minecraft server, “Morrowcraft.”
- “Digital citizenship, the ‘lived curriculum’: Part 1” and Part 2, what that looks like
- Marianne Malmstrom’s series of guest posts: “Mining Minecraft, Part 1: Little gamers’ digital play through a teacher’s eyes,” Part 2 “Brilliance when students drive the learning” and Part 3 “Safety & citizenship in games (do try this at home!)“
- About how BYOT works in Tim Clark’s district: “All kinds of learning all at once with BYOT“

Rod Blagojevich has manged to fight some of his corruption convictions, but if he wants to overturn any more, he'll have to go to the Supreme Court.
And that's the plan. After a federal court denied Blagojevich's appeal Wednesday, his wife Patti and his lawyer Leonard Goodman said they plan to take the case to the nation's highest court. (Video via CNN)
The former governor was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2011 after he was convicted of trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat, among other charges. Ever since, he and his family have painted the whole trial as unfair. (Video via CBS)
"This is pure politics. What he did was try to raise campaign cash, which is his job as governor," Goodman said.
The same court threw out five of Blagojevich's convictions in July and vacated his sentence. But that left 13 counts in place and a new sentence could be set soon, meaning he may not be any closer to getting out of prison. (Video via WLS-TV)
If the case does go to the Supreme Court, the defense's argument seems to be that flawed instructions were given to the jury, and that by allowing those instructions to stand, the court essentially made it easier to convict politicians for normal fundraising. (Video via C-SPAN)

VA Home Loan Refinance
The low interest rates of today may be gone tomorrow. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stands behind VA Home Loan Refinance options, allowing you take advantage of these unique loan programs. There are mortgage loans at iFreedom Direct® that are setup to help members of the military refinance their homes at a rate competitive to conventional loans.
Good reasons to refinance a home include:
- Consolidating debt
- Obtaining a lower interest rate
- Making changes to the type or term of your loan
- Taking cash out of the equity you have in your home
- Eliminating monthly mortgage insurance
The VA Streamline process might be a good option for you if you have a higher interest rate on a VA loan. Streamlining can allow you to reduce your interest rate, using the Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) program. This program lets those with good credit obtain a low interest rate with less red tape than a traditional loan. It is popular because it is generally faster and more affordable. VA eligible-borrowers may use this type of financing over and over again to keep the lowest interest rate possible on their loan.
Our Streamline loans offer unique benefits that include:
Appraisals as needed
No cash down
No new COE
Less income verification
The VA does not require underwriting packages or appraisals for Streamlines, however your lender may still need these for underwriting. A new COE isn't neccessary. This is because the one that is already in place for the loan should still be adequate. Payment history can also be used in the process, if it demonstrates your ability to pay for this type of loan.
In addition, you may need to supply income documents to re-qualify for an IRRRL. In the current lending market, most lenders will likely run a credit check and/or order an appraisal report.
VA Cash Out Refinance
When you have built up a substantial amount of equity on your current residence, you can take advantage of the VA Cash Out Refinance Loan. Doing so will allow you to refinance your home, taking cash out to use for other expenses. Some people do this to pay off loans or credit cards or to make home improvements.
This type of loan is great for consolidating debt. It allows you to payoff short-term, high interest loans by combining them into one long-term, low interest loan. This lets you consolidate several payments into one monthly mortgage payment.
VA Refinance Specialists
At iFreedom Direct®, we have specialists who are trained to help you find the best mortgage package available for your situation. They will analyze your needs and discuss your VA loan refinancing options with you.
When you refinance, you may have to provide a summary of your current financial status. Two key parts of this include credit and income statements. It’s a good idea to have this documentation on-hand when you contact one of our representatives. This allows for a speedy loan process.
Two Steps CloserTo Start Your VA Home Loan

According to the bellereport.com
The Gospel Community Mourns the Loss of
Dr. Charles G. Hayes
TBR — Chicago, IL — It is with a heavy heart that we inform our readers and listeners that the senior pastor of the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer, where Dr. Charles G. Hayes, also known to many as Father Charles Hayes, is the senior pastor, transitioned to be with the Lord this afternoon ( Wednesday, February 12, 2014th ) in Chicago.
Our sources tell us that Father Hayes, had been sick for some time.
Father Hayes has been a fixture in the Gospel Music Industry since the early sixties.
Pastor Charles George Hayes, the third child and second son of Mamie Lee and Will Hayes, was born December 10, 1937, in Verbena, Alabama. He received his primary education at Siluria Jr. High School (Alabama) and his secondary education at Prentice High School (Montevallo, Alabama). He migrated to Chicago, Illinois in 1955 and became a Church Musician.
Pastor Hayes was ordained in the Ministry on August 31, 1957. He organized Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer on April 28, 1959. Pastor Hayes was under the leadership of many great pioneers such as Prophet L. K. Johnson, Pastor Clarence Cobbs, Bishop Louis Boddie, Bishop Anderson, Pastor Franklin, and others.
Father of two, and grandfather, Pastor Hayes became affectionately known as “Father Hayes” because of his paternal qualities, his compassion, his concern for, and interest in people.
Dr. Hayes received his Doctorate Degree from Religious Science Institute in December 1973 and received an Honorary Doctorate of Human Letters from St. Martins College and Seminary, September, 1974.
Dr. Hayes was currently one of the longest serving Pastor of one church in Chicago for going on 55 years come April 2014. Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer has been listed as a landmark church in the Chicago Area.
Dr. Hayes was very passionate with is ministry, not compromising with the devil and is known for speaking the truth – declaring the word of God. He was very involved with every aspect of the church for he put his all into this ministry. He was rooted and grounded in “traditional” gospel and you could catch him singing, preaching, teaching and praying on any given Sunday , adding his humorous touch but still telling it like it is.
Dr. Hayes was known for ‘Making A Joyful Noise”, leading such hits as He’s Keeping Me, I’ll Never Forget, I Know The Lord Laid His Hands On Me, Before I Take It Back, Everything’s Alright, How I Got Over, My Lord and Master, and many, many more.

Also under the leadership of Pastor, Dr. Hayes was The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir within his church. It was organized and founded by Dr. Hayes on October 25, 1959. The Choir was organized with only five (5) persons – consisting of a family of sisters and brothers. As the years passed, the Choir grew and grew, from the original five members to its present count.
The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir has recorded over 30 albums and five single 45’s throughout the past 50 YEARS. Out of the thirty plus albums, two went “GOLD” (over 50,000 copies sold), and others made the No. 1 spot on the charts around the world. “The Remix” recording in particular, not only went “GOLD”, it was also notes as “The #1 Inspirational Song” according to the R&R Magazine and earned the Choir two Stellar Awards in 2006 for” Choir of the Year” and “ Video of the Year.”
The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir, also known as ‘The Mighty “WARRIORS’, is dedicated to its Church and the people who enjoy their singing ministry. GOD is the head of their lives and they enjoy singing and giving HIM the praise.
The Choir has performed with such great artists as the late Mahalia Jackson – the “World’s Greatest Gospel Singer”, the late Clara Ward and Singers, the late Ruth Davis and Singers, Evangelist Shirley Caesar and Singers, Rev. James Cleveland and Singers, and many more. The Choir has sung in Auditoriums, theatres, fair grounds, ball parks, civic center, store-front churches, Jewish temples, from the smallest to the largest, with all races involved at the same time.
‘The Mighty “WARRIORS”’ have performed for the Chicago Gospel Festival, and by popular demand, was invited back to the Petrillo Bank Shell on several occasions. In June 1992, Dr. Hayes and the Choir were saluted by the Mayor and City of Chicago for Outstanding Service in the Religious Community. In July 1992, and again by special request in 1995, the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir represented the City of Chicago in the Umbria Jazz Festival held in various provinces throughout Italy, performing with such greats as B.B. King, Linda Hopkins, etc. The choir also performed in Austria, France, singing for the President of that Country, Portugeese, Madrid, and several other countries abroad. They were invited and sang at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Montreaux, Switzerland, where they performed with the world famous Mighty Clouds of Joy. The Choir since traveled abroad to Spain twice and brought in 2007 in Italy (singing in various countries: Portugeese, – Lifting Up The Name Of Jesus!
After more than 50 YEARS, the Choir is still recording, and is considered as one of the world’s greatest Traditional Gospel Singing Choirs. As a contribution to Chicago

From cars to construction sites, industry has a vital role in decarbonising our economy and creating green jobs and prosperity.Jesse Norman, Technology and Decarbonisation Minister, Government
We anticipate that representatives from regulatory agencies will participate. However, we will identify the appropriate contacts as part of our communication plan to ensure that the sector commits to the RTNZ charter. As a result, we expect the policy change development process to go more smoothly during the implementation phase. The Greater London Authority, which is already part of the working group, has also agreed to increase its involvement in the project due to its alignment with the London Mayor's Net Zero by 2030 target.
Furthermore, once the entire project is finished, HAUC(UK) will create an Environmental and Carbon Governance group in a similar fashion to the other hosted groups like SROH and Inspections. They will keep track of and maintain the initiative through their normal procedures. The results of the RTNZ project will be integrated into any support and enhancement of the HAUC(UK) website and app and will be managed by partners at GeoPlace.
Vision for change
In 2020, HAUC(UK) established a five-year plan to enhance collaboration between Highway Authorities and Utility Companies, focusing on five key themes: digitalisation, innovation, skills and workforce, collaboration, and environment and decarbonization.
Their goal is:
"By 2025, the street and road works sector will take advantage of new technology to improve safety, quality, efficiency, and collaboration, while prioritising the interests of our customers and the general public. The sector will ensure that it has the right skills in place to deliver the infrastructure needed to thrive in a carbon-neutral, information age."
As a result, we expect the RTNZ initiative to be integrated into this vision over the long term and serve as a foundation for the industry's development.

New data from a retrospective, natural history cohort study presented today at the 19th Meeting of the European Neurological Society (ENS), Italy, shows that Niemann-Pick type C disease (NP-C) is characterised by continuous, unbroken, progression of neurological symptoms.
An additional retrospective cohort study also presented at ENS, has shown that Zavesca (miglustat) may stabilise important neurological symptoms associated with NP-C in many patients of all age groups.
The Natural History study was an international, observational, multicenter, retrospective cohort study undertaken to characterise NP-C and presents data for 57 patients, followed for a mean of five-and-a-half years since the diagnosis of NP-C. A disease-specific disability scale from 0 (best) to 1 (worst), based on four key neurological parameters of NP-C: manipulation, ambulation, language articulation and swallowing, was used alongside a composite score of the parameters to evaluate disease progression. Among the patients with at least one year follow-up the majority (86%) showed deterioration during the observation period, no patient showed spontaneous improvement. Disease progression rates were consistently higher among patients with the youngest age at diagnosis.
Dr Frédéric Sedel, Senior Neurologist, Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris and National History study investigator commented: “These findings are significant for patients and families with NP-C and healthcare professionals treating them because they confirm that NP-C is a rapidly progressing neurological disease. This means we absolutely need to specifically target our approach in managing NP-C to focus on the neurological aspects of the disease. In a disease like NP-C it is impossible to reverse neurological damage that has already occurred, so we must focus our efforts on the best possible outcome, which is disease stabilization.”
An additional retrospective cohort study investigated the effect of Zavesca on the neurological symptoms of NP-C. This international, multicenter study involved 66 patients. Neurological disease progression was measured using the same disability scale as in the Natural History study as well as a composite score. This study showed that treatment with miglustat decreased the mean annual progression rate in composite score from +0.11 units score per year (seen both in the Natural History study and in the pre-Zavesca phase of this study) to -0.01 units score per year, indicating potential stabilization of neurological disease associated with NP-C. This was seen in all age groups and was greatest in older patients.
Lead investigator, Dr Mercè Pineda, Consultant Neurologist, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Barcelona commented: “As a treating clinician these findings are invaluable and mean that patients with NP-C, treated with miglustat, can reach the best attainable outcome at present, whilst there is no cure for this devastating disease. The stabilisation of neurological symptoms can allow patients to maintain a certain level of quality of life, whether that is being able to continue eating rather than being tube-fed or prolonging their mobility. The data also shows that age of disease onset has a notable influence on patients’ response to miglustat therapy.”
Zavesca has been shown to be generally well tolerated in patients with NP-C, with the most common adverse events being – among others – diarrhea and weight loss, whose prevalence decreased over time.
Zavesca is the first licensed treatment available for people with NP-C and received EU approval in January 2009. It is approved for the treatment of progressive neurological manifestations of NP-C in adult patients and pediatric patients. Regulatory proceedings to extend the use of Zavesca in patients with NP-C are ongoing in other countries worldwide.

One of my favorite trails in Los Angeles recently became the backdrop to a photoshoot for a brand that I’m very excited about. Ringtail is a new company, started by Sean Talkington from Team Dream and Kyle Kelley from Golden Saddle Cyclery. Their intent is to make great fitting, practical cycling apparel and accessories in the USA. As of now, everything is made in the Los Angeles area, which is an added plus for the dudes, seeing as though they like being a part in the production process.
All-City’s Junk Yard Dog, or JYD for short, is a do-all, hobo trail cuttin’, curb jibbin, bar or delivery bike, built with burliness in mind. I’ve seen various permutations of this bike floating around in my travels. Some people build it up as a delivery bike with a porteur rack, others a drop-bar monster cross like in Kyle’s case.
Kyle‘s had this frameset for a while now and the potential build always centered around the Salsa Woodchipper 2 bar. Those bars, paired with White Industries, Paul Mini Motos and Bruce Gordon Rock n Road tires results in one mean, yet fun around town bike.
On my last day in Los Angeles, I went on a ride with Kyle (who modeled the new All-City Big Gulp Kit) as we left from our favorite pre-ride spot, Intelli Coffee on Sunset and made our way through bum trails and city overlooks.
Check out photos of the quick jaunt as well as the JYD bike-check in the Gallery!
The idea of a shuttle run is something very foreign to me. You gotta earn that descent! Still, a few friends here in Los Angeles have been trying to get me to wake up at 5am to hit the Mt Wilson shuttle with them and this morning, I finally gave in.
It might snow, there might be rain, the temperature is dropping tonight.
Still wanna ride? Of course. While the whole adoration of the inevitable clusterfuck or yard-shitting makes for interesting stories, sometimes just appreciating the spectacle that is mother nature’s mood swings merits documentation, regardless of how ethereal tales told on the internet tend to be.
Four hours. We had four hours to ride before the day’s responsibilities would set in for us. Kyle from Golden Saddle and Brian from Brian Vernor Making Blog (heh) wanted to ride Strawberry Peak in the Angeles National Forest. I’ve never been, but was promised picturesque San Gabriel shredding. While Strawberry Peak is strictly XC riding, there are plenty of places for unbalanced placement potentially resulting in catastrophe or consequence. I.e. exposure and lots of rocks.
The first ride on a custom bike is one of the best feelings in the world. At least to cyclists. Every pedal stroke, every turn, you form the beginnings of a new relationship with a machine that will hopefully one day take you to your dream landscape or roadscape.
For Sean from Team Dream Team, his Stinner hardtail has been in a shop since Sea Otter, getting everything dialed in for riding. When your dream bike is the poster child for a company like Mavic, sometimes it comes down to the wire and “the functioning build” is actually more of a “photoshoot-ready build.”
Anyway I’m in LA, stressed from being on the road, shooting photos and trying to maintain sanity but on Monday, I cracked. I needed to ride. I too have a new MTB and I wanted to shake it down some mountains and splash some sand across its powdercoat. Sean and I dipped out on responsibility, in a fuck-work kind of way and pedaled our way up to Brown, to hit one of my favorite descents in the area, El Prieto.
It happened to be at sunset and guess what? It’s LA, the weather was perfect. The dirt was dry, the poison oak was parched but on-trail adjustments were made resulting in a perfect shred sled sess…
Bikepacking on the Kokopelli Trail
Photos and words by Joel Caldwell
The Kokopelli Trail is a beautiful route winding from Fruita, Colorado to Moab, Utah. It combines a variety of primitive roads with surprisingly technical single track that kept us guessing around each bend. Scrubby and open in the east, the route becomes richer and the landscapes more Mars-like as we approached the canyon lands of the high Utah desert. Sand, dirt, gravel, slick rock, creek crossings, you name it. Two long climbs topping out at 8400′ tested our fitness and the final descent along Porcupine Rim blew our minds. This is the way to enter Moab!
Last week in San Francisco, Oakley, Mash and Greg Lemond organized a group ride strictly via social media. We all posted about it, encouraging people from all cycling backgrounds to come along for a chill, no drop ride and crossed our fingers. Would 15 people show up? 20? No one was certain and all we knew was that we’d begin our little jaunt on Market Street at the Oakley store… (more…)
For over 25 years Chico, California has been the home base for Paul Component Engineering. During the Speedvagen Fit Tour we swung by to check in on their operations and to get a sense of what the team, the city of Chico and Paul Price himself are all about…
These days, I’m spending a lot of time riding and lugging around my DSLR. While I’d much rather do a ride with close friends and leave the camera at home, I couldn’t pass up yet another year of the Blackburn Ranger Camp. Last year’s ride / popsicle hammock experience was too good, so when Robin from Blackburn invited me along for a second time, I accepted the invitation without hesitation, only picking up on keywords: “camping, Big Basin, Redwoods, bourbon, BB guns, beach, Sea Otter, Niner bikes.”
The logistics of my past few weeks went something like this: Giro Grinduro shoot in Sierra Nevada, home for two days, back to Cali for Eroica, ride 130 miles on a 1982 7-speed crit bike, drive immediately to San Jose, arrive at airport hotel at 1am, work for 3 hours, sleep for 3 hours, cab it to the San Jose Airport, pack up my Niner RLT9 Steel cross bike with three day’s supplies, clear CF cards, and commence the herding of cats…
WARNING! This is going to make you HATE that today is Monday. 100 images await you…
The cycling industry is a competitive place. With mountain bikers clamoring over Enduro, the road and dirt industry has its sights on gravel grinder races. As the name implies, the Grinduro is a mix of the two. A mix, but a whole lot more…
Giro’s Grinduro is an entire weekend event that unfolds in the town of Quincy, California. A place that can get quite warm in the summer, so luckily, the event takes place in October. Participants will be able to camp at the fabled Quincy Campground, be fed by Chris King’s Gourmet Century, enjoy beer from Sierra Nevada brewery and enjoy music from live bands.
The format of the race includes timed climb segments, timed descent segments and a ripping 12-mile long singletrack ender. The intent is to chat leisurely in between segments, get to know your fellow racers, enjoy delicious food along the way and then give your all during the timed sections. Once you’re done, finish up the night at the campsites with a massive shindig.
The following Gallery was taken on the Giro Grinduro course, a 65 mile long mixed terrain route with approximately 9,000′ of elevation. These roads are some of the most beautiful in the area and as you will see, will not disappoint… Will you Grinduro?
Registration is open now, so head to the Grinduro site for more information.

No sugar in this cake -- no kidding! This cake recipe is all about capturing natural sweetness from ingredients like apples, bananas, and cranberries, with no added sugar, making it great for babies and those with special dietary issues, like diabetes.
Every mama wants to have a grand celebration when her baby turns 1. It's an exciting milestone for the whole family. I wanted to enjoy my kids' first birthdays without worrying about giving them too much sugar, so I made my own cake out of fresh ingredients. This cake takes a while to assemble, but be patient and put extra love and care into it. After all, it is your baby's special day. Believe me, your love and tenderness are the most critical ingredients to the success of this cake.
Makes 14 servings
2 cups sliced carrots
3 cups unsweetened apple juice
1?2 cup spinach, chopped
1 ripe banana
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons baking powder
1?2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons agave nectar
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two cake pans.

3. Place the carrot mixture in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Add the spinach, banana, cranberries, and almonds. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
4. Combine the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a separate mixing bowl. Add the remaining 1 cup apple juice, vanilla extract, and eggs and egg whites. Mix until well blended. Fold in the apple puree and the reserved carrot/spinach puree.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
6. To make the frosting (if using): Steam the blueberries until soft.
7. Place the softened blueberries, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and agave in a food processor. Process until well blended. Spread on the cooled cake.
8. Spell "Happy Birthday" on the cake with alphabet cookies. And don't forget the candle!

- Three 1/4-pound lobsters
- 6-8 Cups chicken stock or vegetable broth
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, minced
- 1 Pound Arborio rice
- 1 Cup dry white wine
- 1 vanilla bean
- 2 Cups grapeseed oil
- 1 medium butternut squash, roasted, flesh scooped out
- 3/4 Cups mascarpone cheese
- 4 Cups baby arugula
- 2 Tablespoons minced chives
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. To kill the lobsters instantly, sharply insert a chef’s knife between their eyes. Slip the lobsters into the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes (remember that the meat will cook some more when it’s added to the rice).
Use tongs to pull the lobsters out of the pot and set them aside until they're cool enough to handle.
Twist the tails and claws off the lobsters and, using a kitchen shears, split the tails lengthwise. Remove the meat (discarding the veins), and cut it into chunks. Crack the claws and knuckles with a mallet to free the meat.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a simmer, then lower the heat to keep the broth hot.
Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and a good pinch of salt, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes, or until the onions begin to soften. Add the rice and stir until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes
Now you’re going to stir liquid into the rice, a little at a time: Add the wine first, and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice absorbs it. Begin stirring in the hot stock one cup at a time, waiting until each addition is fully absorbed before adding more. Continue adding stock just until the rice is tender and creamy but still offers a bit of resistance to the tooth when you chew it — that’s al dente. You may have some stock left over.
To make the vanilla oil, split the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds, and reserve.
Pour oil into a small saucepan and place over very low heat. Whisk in the vanilla seeds and toss in the pods as well. Cook until the oil registers 120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and set aside to steep and cool. When cool, pour the oil into a jar with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate. The vanilla oil will keep for 2 weeks.
Gently fold in the chunks of lobster, heating them through.
Fold in the squash and the mascarpone. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
Fold in the arugula at the last moment, just wilting it in. Spoon the piping-hot risotto into large, shallow soup bowls, sprinkle with chives and finish with a good drizzle of the vanilla oil.

The Dead Beside Us
Tony Doherty wastes no time in following up his 'important' debut with a 'profound' adolescent account of conflict continuing to tear through 1970s Derry
For the luckiest and most talented of writers, books are like buses. You wait years for a publisher to bring your first one to a wider audience and then, before you know it, two of them have turned up.
That has certainly been the experience for Derry writer Tony Doherty. It was only last year that his debut memoir This Man’s Wee Boy hit the shelves, with a powerful and insightful remembering of early childhood amidst the political disintegration of Derry in the late 1960’s.
So it is no surprise that, following so close on its heels, The Dead Beside Us presents us with a sequel, picking up from where the first book leaves off – in the aftermath of Paddy Doherty’s killing by the British Army on Bloody Sunday in 1972.
Paddy was Tony’s father and in The Dead Beside Us we join his nine year old son following the funeral and become companions for the next decade as he grows up in a city and a family scarred, but not stilled, by conflict.
On the face of it this is an intensely political story but to Doherty’s enormous credit, he resists the obvious temptation to frame his account in this way, instead producing a personal account which is ultimately so much more illuminating.
The killing of his father and the attempted blackening of his name in the Widgery Tribunal are present at various points in these pages but this is not the only story that Doherty seeks to tell here.
The result is a highly relatable tale of family, of love and of the reality of life amidst the chaos of conflict tearing through the Derry of the 1970s. In these pages you get the real sense of the juxtaposition of ordinary life in extraordinary times that was the hallmark of This Man’s Wee Boy. But the context is now changed, in part through the death of his father, in part because a new home in Shantallow takes in a broader canvas of a city in flux than just the tight streets of the Brandywell, but mostly because our protagonist is maturing in front of our eyes.
Through this developing world view we see how the conflict and the reality of daily confrontation with the British Army (who transition from the ‘BA’ to ‘Brits’ as their presence grows more permanent) becomes just another aspect to adolescence, alongside playing with your mates, avoiding school and discovering girls.
The descriptions of life here are brimful with authenticity, these are not the romanticized stories of courage under fire but the lived experiences of a family shaped, but not defined by, the turbulent politics of the time.
Of course, Paddy’s death is an inevitable presence in the book. The change in Tony’s mother, Eileen, unfolds throughout the story but it only comes to the fore when it touches upon young Tony’s life, without being particularly dwelt upon or analysed. It is refreshing to discover that there is no sense here of today’s writer imparting knowledge and insight upon his younger remembered self.
'Friends Lost' by Paul Devine, submitted to Culture NI's 'Capturing Creativity' contest in March 2017
Despite, or perhaps because of, this honesty in the writing it still comes as something as a surprise to the reader when the 17 year old Tony makes the decision to join the IRA. We have seen his growing politicization, but in the context of a desire to confront the Army, rather than to unite Ireland, and his initial attempts to join are rejected for this reason – simple revenge being seen as no good reason to sign up.
As expected, this decision has profound ramifications for Tony and as we leave him in the company of a fellow teenage IRA volunteer, whose father had also been killed in the conflict, the cyclical repeating misery of the Troubles is all too clear to see.
As with his previous book, Tony Doherty once more makes a vital and profound contribution to our understanding of the past here in Derry and in Northern Ireland.
For those interested in the social history of Northern Ireland, this is essential reading. For those interested in how we became caught in a seemingly intractable cycle of violence, this is essential reading. For those interested in how grief and loss impacts and shapes the lives of victims of the conflict, again this is essential reading.
The Dead Beside Us completes an important story but, for this reader at least, leaves us looking wider for narratives from the other parties in the conflict. Tony Doherty tells us something that we didn’t already know about normal life here in the 1970s and leaves us eager to hear more, but from other perspectives.
It can only be hoped that he will inspire others from other backgrounds and traditions to do the same. We need to hear these stories if we are to understand each other and ever move on from the past, and if we can hear them as honestly and cogently as Tony Doherty’s here, then he will have done us all a great service.
The Dead Beside Us is published by Mercier Press and available now to purchase at retailers across Ireland and online. As part of this year's 30th Foyle Film Festival Tony Doherty will read from the book on Thursday November 23 accompanied by music from the Ulster Orchestra which has been specially arranged by its own Philip Walton. The event marks the start of EO Lab II, an exciting new pan-European project. To book tickets visit www.foylefilmfestival.org or call 028 7126 0562.

- $ 97/month.
- $ 297/month.
- $ 997 mass discount rate strategy (advised).
I’ll go into detail for every of these plans below.
1. ClickFunnels Standard Plan – $97/month.
The common plan consists of all the attributes you would certainly need within ClickFunnels, yet with constraints on the number of funnels (20) and web pages (100) you could have in your account, in addition to the amount of site visitors (20K) can see your pages each month.
You also do not receive advanced performance such as ClickFunnels very own e-mail advertising and marketing and also associate tracking tools.
2. ClickFunnels Etison Collection – $297/month.
This plan includes all the bells and also whistles of the typical plan, with no limitations. It additionally features 2 added products generated by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (email marketing) as well as Knapsack (associate monitoring system).
In Actionetics – you can manage all of your get in touches with that sign up for your list, send out email programs, and develop a host of various other automations. Infusionsoft Features List
The distinction between the two plans really is the limitations, and Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a standard user as well as don’t anticipate to utilize greater than 20 funnels in your account – the Criterion Strategy need to be adequate.
However, if you prepare to have an associate program or intend to maintain your e-mail advertising and marketing within ClickFunnels and also not utilize a third party software program, the Etison Suite is for you.
You can always begin on the lower strategy and upgrade if needed.
3. Funnel Hacks System – $997
For anyone that’s serious regarding their company, the ClickFunnels Funnel Hacks System is the deal of the century.
The $997 Funnel Hacks System has robust training programs packed with 6-month accessibility to the ClickFunnels Etison Suite.

ClickFunnels vs. Everyone Else.
Lots of people ask exactly how ClickFunnels as compares to other landing page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, as well as Infusionsoft.
Essentially it’s not actually a fair comparison because each of these tools succeeds is one area or the other.
The graph above offers a comprehensive analysis – yet I’ll highlight several of the significant comparisons listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the huge canine.
Leadpages is just a lead capture software application – absolutely nothing even more. You can produce landing web pages, lead boxes, collect leads … that’s practically it. Furthermore, the Leadpages layouts are additionally limited on customization.
ClickFunnels is far more versatile – it’s a lot easier to make use of as well as does so far more compared to produce lead capture pages.
Simply put, Leadpages is truly simply a landing page builder, while ClickFunnels is focused around constructing highly integrated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a touchdown web page or sales page building contractor. It has a few of that capability developed it, however that’s not what it’s recognized for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that enables you to handle your whole consumer data source. ClickFunnels has this capability with Actionetics, however it’s not almost as advanced as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is also exceptionally pricey as well as forces every new customer to pay $2000 for an obligatory kickstart training package just to find out the best ways to make use of the complicated system (which is infamously tough to make use of).
ClickFunnels Affiliate Program
There are 2 main courses people decrease as ClickFunnels individuals.
Those that choose to use the tool for their company – in hopes of eventually attain both Comma Club (over $1M in revenue).
As well as those that want earning passive income as a ClickFunnels Associate as well as winning the Dream Auto Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 to your dream car if you get to 100/200 energetic regular monthly signups, respectively).
With a whopping 40% regular monthly persisting commission, ClickFunnels easily has one of the best affiliate programs of any type of platform around.
That’s right – you get paid an ongoing 40% compensation on every associate signup you make via the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. Yet, what does that really equate to?
The standard plan is a $97/month investment as well as the Etison Collection plan is a $297/month investment. for that reason you make $38.80 each fundamental strategy as well as $118.80 per Etison Suite strategy … each and every month!
Typically, every 100 signups will generate $4000/month in affiliate compensations (essentially depending upon how many Etison Plan users are in there).
The Bottom Line
ClickFunnels is pass on the best platform if you are planning to quickly construct high converting sales funnels.
Because it was built from the ground up to be the very best sales funnel building contractor, it defeats all the competitors in that respect.
On the surface, it could not be the least expensive product available – but if you utilize it to its complete ability, your business will come to be a lot more lucrative and also you will certainly conserve cash from not having to make use of various other devices. Infusionsoft Features List

xine Project Announces First GPL Sorenson Video DecoderJun 21, 2002, 17:30 (1 Talkback[s])
[ Thanks to Miguel Freitas for this link. ]
The xine team has released the version 0.9.11 of their GPL'd media player application. xine is capable of playing back a wide variety of media formats including DVD, MPEG, AVI, ASF, Apple Quicktime (MOV) and others. Notable in this release is the first free software implementation of the Sorenson Video algorithm, used to encode video streams in many Quicktime files.
Changes since last release:
Note that Sorenson decoder only covers the SVQ1 variant and not the more recent SV3 variant used to encode the Star Wars Episode II trailers. Also, the decoder does not handle the QDesign sound formats that are commonly used in Sorenson videos. (However it seems that someone is actively working on those!)
For those wondering about the "Lara Croft Community edition" name, it comes the fact that Tomb Raider trailer was the first Sorenson video ever decoded under Linux. Episode I trailers are also playable with xine.

The British comedian, who will be hosting the awards show for the second year running, will shoot a walk-on part in Disney's new Muppets movie the day before the show.
In a recent conference call he told interviewers he wanted to "push the boundaries a little bit more" at the ceremony.
The Office and Extras star said he wants to have "even more fun" this time around.
"I had such a great time last year but like anything you do for the first time you go, ‘Oh, let me do it again! I can do it better!’ he said when asked for his thoughts on the 2010 ceremony.
"I think I pitched it about right but I think I can go a little bit further. I think I can go out and really throw away the shackles of worry; I don’t mean I’ll go out and get drunk and have no planning or input, but I think I can certainly have more fun with it and more fun with the room."
He admitted that he had given himself a "weird restriction" during the previous event by only writing gags about stars who were handing out trophies, but said he is planning on extending his joke targets this time.
"I’ve realised I can reference anyone in the room," he explained. "I’m going to have even more fun with it, probably go a bit further and push the boundaries a little bit more. What’s the worst that can happen? I didn’t expect to be invited back a second time and I won’t do it a third so I have nothing to lose."

Karen at the Australasian Crime Fiction Forum is asking readers which crime writers they find funny and why. She weighs in on a new Australian comic crime writer, she considers Parnell Hall, and -- proof that she is a woman of wit and judgment -- she likes Bill James.
