Heaven Help Us Auditions - Kapiti Playhouse Inc.
Our final production for 2016 is Heaven Help Us, directed by Mark Harris. Written by Dunedin’s Tim Hambleton, this is a gentle comedy, set in Heaven’s waiting room, that pokes fun at the afterlife.
There’s trouble in Paradise. Heaven may be eternal, but it’s not infinite. In fact, it’s as full as a very full thing. Potential entrants have to hang around in the Waiting Room until a place opens up when someone breaks the rules and gets deported to The Other Place.
With St Peter off his game, the Waiting Room is being managed by Angela, whose recent choices have been a little less than inspired, and Simone, God’s ambitious CEO, wants her head. The latest batch appear to be a real disaster but Angela has a plan to redeem herself.
Heaven Help Us will be a fun-filled production to be involved with. Auditions will be held at 2pm on Sunday 25 September. Production dates are 23 November – 3 December. Perusal scripts are available from PaperPlus in Coastlands.

We want to create a range of beautiful, practical and modern outerwear that doesn't cost the earth – but let's you still live life in style.
Find a petticoat that matches the colour of your saree exactly. If it’s ligher, your saree will also look a shade lighter. The same applies to a darker petticoat.
Layout your saree and figure out which side in side and which is the outer. The Pallu ofcourse will be the outer side and the other end. The inner.
Hold the inner end of the saree in your left hand around your waist.
Make sure the hem is touching the floor and tuck the inner end border into your petticoat. Pass the saree onto the front. Maintain the same height so that the hem is even. Keep the top edge level and tuck in a little to keep the saree place(Safety pin at this point) Start folding the pleats from right to left while holding the edge of the saree.
Hold all the pleats together and tuck them into the petticoat(make sure the length of the saree remain the same and the them is even safety pin the pleats to your petticoat).
5 Bring the saree around your body. Hold it in your right hand and pass over the left making sure the border is even.
Drape on your shoulder. Here, you can either let the border sit on your shoulder and let the rest fall casually. Or, following the pleat lines, create pleats on your shoulder and let the pallu fall in a thin strip.
All that shines is not silk'! what is commonly sold as ' art silk ' is not natural silk or pure silk. Pure silk is natural and eco-friendly, which emantes from the silk worm.
The scientific work for invention of cheap mitation of Natural silk may be in progress, but in the market place there are numerous other textile materials sold in the name of silk i.e. Art silk, Artificial silk and other glamorous names.
A layman's test for identifying pure silk is the 'Burning Test' which can be carried out at any place and at any time.
Hundres percent silk means both the warp and weft should be made from pure silk yarns.
To carry out the simple test, take out a small piece of thread from both directions and burn it.
Pure silk will give the smell of burning hair and will leave a black residue, which can be easily crushed to powder by the finger.
Always wash silks in soft water.
Add a pinch of Borax or Ammonia, if water is hard.
Use a good neutral soap in the form of either flakes or solution.
Light detergent may also be used in the case of hard water.
Wash in lukewarm water by kneading & squeezing or suction.
Rinse in warm water 2-3 times to remove traces of soap.
Add a few drops of citric acid or acetic acid to the final rinse in cold water.
Silk with doubtful colour fastness may be steeped in cold water with a small amount of citric or acetic acid for 1-2 minutes before washing.
Squeeze lightly by hand to remove excess water.
Always dry flat, in shade.
Never spray water to dampen silk before ironing.
This will cause water spot on the fabric.
Store your silks in a clean and dry environment.
Avoid direct contact with wood.
Wrap zari sarees in cotton cloth to avoid discolouring of zari.
Keep silica sachets in racks.

Swine flu (swine influenza) is a respiratory disease caused by viruses (influenza viruses) that infect the respiratory tract of pigs, producing most of the same symptoms in pigs as human flu produces in people. In certain cases, people have developed the swine flu infection when they are closely associated with pigs, such as farmers or pork processors. Modern flu outbreaks that have occurred due to flu viruses that contain genes from swine and other types of flu viruses have been referred to as swine flu. Most recently, the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak was due to a virus that was a mix of swine, human, and avian influenza viruses. In 2011, a new swine flu virus was detected, H3N2 influenza.
Symptoms of swine flu are similar to those caused by any influenza virus and include fever, chills, body aches, headache, cough, and nasal secretions. The first symptoms usually appear about one to four days after infection, with an average of two days. The symptoms last about one to two weeks and can last longer in some cases.

New book chapter out! Turnbull, D. and Connell, M. (April 2014). Curating Digital Public Art. Book chapter in Interactive Experience in the Digital Age. (Eds) Linda Candy and Sam Ferguson. Springer Publications, UK: 2014. p. 221-241.
Happy to announce that genart_sys | a window on digital culture was included in VIVID Sydney's Digital Sydney clip! Thanks Spinifex!
Guess what?! RealTime Arts Mag covered Bloodbath via In the Loop - take a look at Blood, Sweat, and Art.
New Media Curation (NMC) is a move towards understanding the curation of technological artworks. From action/response works supported by floorpads, to laser or image recognition installations, to generative and augmented works, NMC can assist you in facilitating, administering, and actualizing your exhibition both nationally and internationally.
NMC Director Deborah Turnbull Tillman is examining the curatorial process as a practice-based researcher with the Creative Robotics Lab at the National Institute for Experimental Arts, UNSW Art & Design. Her research focuses on investigating whether or not the audience can have an authentic experience of interactive art, and if so, what that might mean for the mediums of digital interactive art and the audience's engagement relating to interactive art.
Deborah's full-time research is supported by an Australia Post-Graduate Award from 2014-17, courtesy of the Australian Government .
DTT: We are talking today about robotics and its influence on our culture for the IEEE publication contribution we’ve been offered through Springer…can you please state your role and where you work?

Saudi Arabia’s central bank has advised lenders in the kingdom not to trade with Qatari banks in Qatari riyals, banking sources told Reuters on Tuesday.
The guidance from the central bank came on Monday evening, after Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain severed diplomatic and transport ties with Doha, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
The Saudi central bank did not respond to a request for comment.
Some UAE commercial banks are also holding off on doing business with Qatari banks, such as letters of credit, because of the diplomatic rift in the region, banking sources told Reuters on Tuesday.
They said the banks, which declined to be named, were delaying deals until they received guidance from their central banks on how to handle business with Qatar.
They also said the UAE central bank had asked banks in the country to detail their exposure to Qatari banks, and that the Bahrain central bank had taken a similar step, setting a Thursday deadline to obtain the information.
The UAE central bank did not respond to a request for comment and Bahraini central bank officials could not immediately be contacted for comment.

L1461. Brick arch pedestrian tunnel through an embankment at Stanford-on-Soar, Nottinghamshire, circa 1897. Naturally, the construction of the London Extension obstructed hundreds of roads and paths, and such tunnels, bridges and crossings were built to accommodate these existing rights of way. The contractor responsible for building this section of the Railway (Contract No. 2, Leake to Aylestone) was Henry Lovatt of Wolverhampton.

@JohnnyToledo it's not unusual to have your stimulation coverage change with body movement during the trial. Coverage after the permanent implant is much more stable and becomes even more stable after the leads scar into place. This will be true with SCS units from any company. I typically use my SCS with the stimulation set just below my ability to detect that its on. Still effective but not as distracting.
@Vince in Philly That's exactly what my rep told me (about the "scarring into place"). Good to know my rep was telling me the truth. What brand SCS do you have? My research shows me that Nevro HF10 is the best one, but the Medtronic one seems nice because you can have it at different settings for different postures.
@jbower What medtronic device do you have? I think i want to get it.
If your doctor has another brand to try I wouldn't think he would make you go through another trial. If you went to another doctor that has the one you want I don't know if you would have to go through it again. Every doctor is different but that would be a good question to ask your doctor.
John, didn't you have your doctors appointment today? Did you get to ask him questions about the possibility of having one of the other brands?
Can you tell me if you are with a clinic or a hospital? The spine clinic I was going to was tied to one of our big hospitals so maybe that's why I had a choice of which one I wanted. Most of the clinics though have their own preference.
My Medtronic module is the 97740 with patient programmer. Personally I'm glad that I chose this one over the Nevro but that's just me. I also have a Flowonix pain pump and while I'm still working with my doctor to find the right dosage this thing is cool. I really like it because I don't have to charge it like my stimulator.
@JohnnyToledo - I have the Medtronic Intellis device. It does have AdaptiveStim, which is the capability to automatically adjust stimulation with changes in posture. However, I don't even use this feature. I turn it down when I lie down to go to bed, but other than that I just leave it alone. I have a cervical unit, and the stimulation is not effected by sitting vs standing. Not sure if this is different for lumbar patients.
I doubt you would need another trial to get a different unit for your permanent implant. You would definitely need insurance pre-authorization for another trial, and that might be a challenge. Personally, I would want the doctor who did my trial implant to do my permanent implant.
So I did have my Doctor's appointment yesterday, and I told him that the "Burst" mode on the St. Jude was useless and that the tonic mode helped as much as 40%. I also brought in literature on the Nevro Senza unit and the Medtronic unit. He is a great doctor, and listened to every one of my questions, answered them, then asked me, "Anything else?" He is great lol. Anyways, he told me that the decision is mine as to what device I get and that he's never used the Nevro but that he's heard good things from his friends in other Pain Management clinics. He told me he would talk to a rep and get back to me.
Meanwhile, I contacted a Nevro rep and I've been texting him back and forth with questions. In my St. Jude trial, I had leads in my cervical (which gave me coverage in my neck, upper back, and arms) and thoracic (which gave me coverage to my lower back and legs) areas. I wanted to make sure I could get the same coverage with Nevro, which seems like a stupid question in hindsight since it's just a SCS unit after all.
In the meantime, I will do more research. Since Nevro's "HF10" tech sounds similar to St. Jude's "Burst" tech, I am a little skeptical it will work for me, although the Nevro rep assures me that the tech is much different. I know that tonic worked best for me, so maybe I should just get the metronic unit afterall. I'm still not sure.
Well that's great news. He is willing to help you out. About the adaptiveStim I use mine all the time. The reason being is when I'm standing I have it cranked up. Now if I went from that setting to laying down it would get the shock of a lifetime. So for me I set the laying down, sitting and standing settings.
One thing I think may be a drawback is I don't think the Medtronic device can cover so much of an area that you say you are needing. You would have to ask. The Nevro for sure will cover all of that. Like I mentioned though I didn't like the Nevro because I couldn't feel the stimulation. Plus the thought of having to charge every day. Granted the charging is shorter but still I couldn't handle every day charging.
But at least you have options now which is what you were looking for.
I work from home. I'm basically bed-ridden. I am in my bed almost 24/7, when I'm not watching TV on the couch, so charging is not a problem. I'm pretty sure that any SCS will give me the coverage I need. @jbower Why do you think the Medtronic won't give me that coverage while the Nevro will?

Change doesn’t just come from mandates on high.
Quality improvement and value are hot topics these days. Radiologists are seeking to ensure that they remain viable participants at the health care table.
Value has even become ingrained in our training — the ACGME requires that diagnostic radiology residents participate in quality improvement programs. But these requirements don’t ensure that your residents will pursue value-oriented programs and policies after they’ve finished the required certification components. Nor does it ensure that your colleagues will pursue them in their practices. Although the imaging world has begun to transition to value, we still live in a relatively volume-based system. And with constant demands on a radiologist’s time, it’s easy for quality-improvement projects to be overlooked. To create a quality-driven department, you need to change your culture.
Changing the culture of a practice is easier said than done; you can’t trade in the culture of your practice like a used car. Cultures are complex systems with many interrelated parts, and changing the status quo is not easy.
So how do you chip away at a system that has probably been in place for years? You change the stories you tell.
What do I mean by stories? Stories communicate the less obvious assumptions and implications made from the actions you and your department live by. What our department did last week, problems we may have encountered, and issues that we’ve solved — those are our stories. They’re not the rules or training packages you get during your orientation. For example, when something is done really well in our department — a good patient experience or an award — we have cake. That’s our story. We are a practice that celebrates our successes.
Here’s another example. When I first became head of my department, I didn’t make any drastic changes. I did, however, change the agenda of our staff meetings so the first items discussed were awards, publications, or presentations that members had given. We are an academic radiology department. Our academic accomplishments came first because that is the story we wanted to tell. This emphasis on sharing achievements pushed some of our members to tell us about successes they had otherwise been silent about.
To begin changing your stories, start with yourself. Consider your practice culture and the stories you and your colleagues tell. How do you react to situations? What things do you discuss with your colleagues? What do you prioritize? Then consider the stories you want people to tell. Do you want to be more patient-centered? How do you discuss patients in your practice? Do you talk about the experiences your patients have — good and bad? How do you respond to these experiences? If you’re silent on the matter, people will assume that patient experience not valuable. It’s not a priority because it’s never on the agenda, never discussed. But if you discuss improving patient experience improvement often, celebrate your successes and address the concerns, then everyone in the practice will understand that it’s a priority for you as a leader. And it becomes their priority too.
Our stories make up who we are. They communicate to others our goals, our priorities, and what we look for in the future. By telling our stories and listening to the stories of others, we position ourselves to adapt and grow during a time of constant change.

Pendant signifies counterpart, companion, parallel, or spouse.
It identifies or establishes a relation, a partner relationship to be exact, possibly even of an intimate note. Pendant thus speaks of forms of togetherness, correspondence or alliance, temporary or long lasting, novel or since long settled.
Also the pendulous movements in art through generations of artists and their artworks are largely generated from, exactly, relations, impressions and expressions in collaboration, influences and reactions in contemporary — within each generation — or historical dialogue — in conversation with forerunners and previous generations. That is to say that art — both art in general and the single work of art — are developed in contact, in connection, through affiliation, collaboration and cooperation. Works of art, do not appear from out of nowhere, from nothing, but from relations, collisions, contact, influence, where influence can take many forms, including negative, i.e. an impulse to develop something based upon not wanting to repeat or relate to the historical example. It is all a meandering, at times vertiginous cultural dialogue, or rather polylogue, where artists are conversing, discussing, negotiating; and where also artworks talk, hang out, separate or realize they belong together, are moved by or touched by, or repudiate each other. And after all, always changed or transformed in the encounter.
The exhibition Pendant organizes encounters between four artists of Bodenskolan — Sven Bohman, Stig Winnerskog, Bror Zachrisson and the only female artist of the Boden-school, June Montana Lorentz – and four artists active today in Norrbotten — Jette Andersen, Lennart Holmbom, Magnus Svensson and Brita Weglin. Four partner relationships are formed in the exhibition, across generations, bridging history and the present, relations that in some cases already existed, others that are completely new. A mutual bilateral dialogue that will influence and transform and illuminate in both directions; the mid-20th century era of the Bodenskolan artists and the vibrating present of those of today, where the latter’s contribution are largely works produced directly and specifically for this exhibition.
Bodenskolan (The Boden School) is the name of the loose grouping of 14 artists in Boden, who in the 50s and 60s arranged courses, painting trips and exhibitions together; learned from and inspired each other. A number of these artists became well established and eventually could live on their artistry, while others had a civilian working life and devoted their spare time to their art. But together they all are an important part of Norrbotten’s art history and they – by striving and struggling in a culture climate more barren – helped to form the basis of today’s art life in Norrbotten.

Cyrus Frisch, the enfant terrible of Dutch cinema, returns to the Festival with his latest film that yet again stylistically challenges classic modes of storytelling. His feature Why didn't anybody tell me it would become this bad in Afghanistan, which played at the Festival in 2007, was filmed entirely through a cell phone. In Dazzle, Frisch inverts this concept, using the telephone as the main prop in the film. A fragile, long-distance relationship develops between a younger woman living in Amsterdam (Georgina Verbaan, a Dutch actress who began her career on television), and an older gentleman doctor residing in Argentina (Rutger Hauer, star of Blade Runner). Frisch's daring narrative convincingly portrays the deep emotional yearnings in the give-and-take revelations between these two characters, even though Verbaan does not visibly appear until almost halfway through the film, and Hauer's voice is only heard on the sound track.
Frisch stylistically furthers the experimental look of his film with grainy images that evoke the memory of a possible past connection between the two characters; a black screen (as their hesitant, halting conversation is heard on the sound track); a restless, roaming camera; and shots refracted through mirrors, windows, and dappling water from the canal below the woman's apartment window. At the same time, Frisch conjures questions about moral responsibility to the homeless depicted outside the woman's window and to the doctor's implication in Argentina's dirty wars. As such, in Dazzle, Frisch creates his own unique vision of a socially engaged cinema.
Cyrus Frisch is considered one of the most daring filmmakers currently working in the Netherlands. He previously directed Blackwater Fever, Forgive Me, and I Shall Honor Your Life. His Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me It Would Become This Bad in Afghanistan, the first feature shot on a mobile phone, premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.

Tara and I went to see Dave Attell play at the Crest last night. Great show by a funny comedian. There were the usual stoner idiots in the crowd, and there was some heckling going on but he had some good comebacks and pretty much had everyone else laughing at their expense. Good times.
At long last I finally finished my most recent woodworking project this weekend. Some of you have been following my progress on this one for... oh... about a year. Yes, I did start this project in June of last year. Crazy how having kids kinda puts a speed bump in things. I have another couple of projects in line, so look for those around the end of 2007.

With the all-time high use of smartphones on a global level, mobile software developers have a lot to experiment with. So much so that small teams can often pitch their ideas through Kickstarter campaigns & crowdfunding and get the public support fairly quickly and easily. However, one aspect of mobile app development still remains fairly intact.
According to data, Blockchain technology’s market value will rise well above $60 billion by 2020. This indicates that numerous large enterprises and banks are already experimenting with active Blockchain implementation. Blockchain development became prominent in the heyday of cryptocurrency trade. Since then, it revolutionized the way companies deal with financial data and develop their businesses further. Let’s take a look at how Blockchain is disrupting the way we see mobile apps, as well as how it can be beneficial to the overall development process.
Gone are the days of seeking investment funds before you can start the development of your mobile application. Since the introduction of Blockchain, startups and small development teams have been able to crowdfund their projects by means of cryptocurrency. Initial Coin Offering (ICO) started as a project aimed at creating new types of cryptocurrency on the digital market.
However, it quickly evolved into a crowdfunding platform where prominent developers can to pitch their ideas and get the funding they need. The Blockchain technology allows the ICO funding to take place since the monetary exchange falls under crypto jurisdiction just like Bitcoin or Ethereum does. This type of funding would be nigh impossible only a few short years ago, meaning that mobile app developers have nothing to lose and plenty to gain by relying on Blockchain in their development.
Depending on the mobile application development field your team picks, Blockchain can be utilized in a number of ways. The technology can serve as a back-end file tracking system, a development support platform or as a specialized feature in your app.
You can create mobile applications that serve numerous purposes, including GPS tracking, personal finance tracking, banking applications, mobile browsers, etc. With blockchain as a baseline for your development, there are very few limits to what you can do. This is a great opportunity for young and ambitious developers to flex their creative muscles and create something new and unseen on the market beforehand.
Mobile applications are naturally dependent on developer-side updates and ongoing support. After all, new features and bug fixes are what keep the users engaged past the launch of an application. Blockchain can assist developers in systematically fixing any potential errors in their code past the launch date much more conveniently.
The reason for this stems from the ability to implement blockchain as a data tracking technology. Every file that gets updated receives feedback or needs to be worked on can be tagged for further reference. Blockchain can be utilized in several ways in terms of further app refinement and even application localization efforts. The more your code expands over time, the harder it will become to track and iterate on, which is why blockchain becomes a necessity rather than a choice.
As we all know, information is wholly available on the internet for anyone who might want to know more about their favorite apps and developers. However, blockchain technology in app development allows the client-side coders to go a step further.
Introducing blockchain into a mobile app would allow users quick and easy access to development logs, update notes and the entirety of the app’s code whenever they feel the need. This type of trust, safety, and transparency is rarely seen in today’s mobile and web development in general. While it won’t let them modify any of the existing features, it will signal an extension of the olive branch from your side.
When it comes to the overall security measures of blockchain technology, very few systems can compare in complexity. There is a reason for the fact that 69% of global banks currently experiment with blockchain implementation into their in-house tracking systems.
Blockchain allows for encryption which can hardly be comprehended or cracked without the explicit permission given by the client-side administrator. This means that your mobile app will never face the risk of being hacked, modified or otherwise tampered with without your permission. It also means that any data or personal information provided to you by the users will not run the risk of leaking or going into the wrong hands.
Since the blockchain technology is still fairly new and industries are pioneering new ways to implement it into their systems, the RoI remains fairly high. You won’t spend overtly high sums of money on blockchain implementation compared to other development methods or cloud platforms.
Instead, the limit to which you can develop and intertwine blockchain with your mobile app development remains solely in the hands of your team. As we’ve mentioned ICO funding before, it is worth noting that numerous teams managed to reach RoI of over 1000% in their development. It proves the point that blockchain is the perfect solution for startups and small development teams still in search of the perfect platform for their projects.
As it stands, mobile apps are the perfect solution to IoT implementation. Just imagine being able to control your in-doors heating, security, lights and other quality of life features through a mobile app. With blockchain as your platform of choice, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Blockchain features an expansive ledger of data which can be used in IoT integration into existing systems.
While it will require you to develop your own peripherals or partner with existing product manufacturers, this is a small inconvenience compared to the market potential. All it takes for you is to come up with interesting and commercial applications for IoT through your mobile app in order to get the process rolling. Once it happens, you will be left with the development process itself which is a fairly straightforward affair with a great idea in the groundwork.
It’s easy to see the appeal of blockchain in mobile app development given everything we already come across on the app stores. However, true creativity will always be more noteworthy than an app that simply follows existing trends. Make sure to revolutionize the market with your mobile app if you intend to implement blockchain into it. That way, you will effectively pioneer a new approach to development which will be copied by others on the market. Once that happens, you will have succeeded in building an app with blockchain to back it up.

Short selling is only one of several market manipulation techniques the SEC needs to fix. Read "How Traders Killed Value Investing" by David Weidner in the 6/11/2009 issue of the Wall Street Journal for others, including program trading, puts, futures, dark pools, credit derivatives, etc.
Until these manipulation techniques are controlled the Market is not safe for Investors, just a place where Traders can take money from them.

Two years ago on Spain’s Costa Blanca in Alicante/Elche records were broken; a quite staggering 4,350 players from no less than 80 national associations participated.
Now, two years later, on the eve of the closing date, Thursday 15th March, for the 2018 World Veteran Championships to be staged in Las Vegas from Monday 18th June to Sunday 24th June, new records in terms of numbers may be set.
Already the number of national associations enrolled has passed the 2016 mark; 90 in number is the new standard.
Now place your bets; can the Costa Blanca number be beaten?
On Wednesday 14th March, a total of 3,940 players, fully paid has been received; significantly and another 447 entries are pending; if 411 of those come to fruition, by my arithmetical analysis a new record is set.
Unquestionably one record in terms of numbers has been set; a quite amazing total of 611 players from the United States have enrolled! The number in Alicante/Elche was 120 in total.
Possibly a record number of entries but most importantly, if ever an endorsement was needed that table tennis is a global sport; the 2018 World Veteran Championships provides the answer.

So Eminem is probably not the first person you think of when you think of a technology industry leader. Some music gurus may have even questioned his presence at this years Coachella. But with a stunning performance that featured augmented reality, a lot of opinions have changed.
Prior to his set at Coachella, concert-goers had the option to download the Eminem Augmented app. This app allowed users to see additional augmented visuals surrounding the stage. The visuals will also be used at Eminem’s upcoming US and European tours.
In reviewing footage from the show, users can see just how powerful that augmented layer can be. This larger than life feature added an unforeseen layer of immersion suitable for many industries. Adding a digital layer to live experiences may just be the future for many industries, including music, fashion, and even retail.
With the recent growth of e-commerce, we’re noticing the industry take a shift towards a younger consumer. With higher expectations, it has become vital for brands to develop strategies that keep this younger demographic engaged. Most of these strategies bring a digital layer to reality, which keeps younger customers interested. Thus far we have seen companies like Zara, Outdoor Voices and Gucci experiment with AR technology to trigger small experiences on mobile.
Only the attendees of Coachella were able to accessEminem’s cool use of AR as the experience was time-stamped and geotagged. They could only be seen within a few hundred yards from the stage.
The app also provided access to some other exclusive AR content, including a humorous ‘Mom’s Spaghetti’ interface that used image recognition to identify the festival’s universal food containers and layered graphics over it.
According to Rich Lee, creative director of Drive Studios who developed the experience, the app is an initial step that could signify a new portal to connect with music fans.

In March of 2018 we sent out an article about the status of the 200 Mill Plaza redevelopment. This article provided facts about accommodating Renton Prep’s growth for many years to come. And how students, families, and staff will benefit from a more modern campus. Recently, we were informed that plans are moving along and things are looking up for Renton Prep. This is great news and we praise God, as it will bring better opportunities to our school and students.
Amazing Grace Joins Renton Prep at Mill Ave.
CRISTA Ministries, an organization dedicated to helping at-risk students, recently purchased Amazing Grace Lutheran Church and the elementary school building. This purchase is a blessing to both organizations. This will allow CRISTA Ministries to continue to do the work they have been called to and Amazing Grace now gets the opportunity to join Renton Prep in Renton. Thus, we will have the entire Renton Prep family under one roof.
We are glad to say that Renton Prep is not going anywhere. For parents and students who may have been worried about our location, we have secured it. We will remain in the same building and Amazing Grace will join Renton Prep at 200 Mill Plaza. Thankfully, the benefits of this move are many. This change will facilitate collaboration of classrooms, a quality we encourage among our students. Resulting in our elementary school students working closely with middle and high school students more easily and often. Additionally, with the number of field trips our schools participate in, having them both under one roof simplifies this process. We believe that this transition will be beneficial and will positively impact our schools as we strive to strengthen the bond and collaboration between students, faculty, and staff.
Thank you for praying fervently for our schools and for trusting us with your children’s future. Please keep praying for our schools, as we continue to work towards the growth of our campus. Always keeping our students, faculty, and staff’s best interest in mind, we will keep you informed on this exciting project. As soon as we get more information, parents will be the first ones to know. We will continue to update the redevelopment of 200 Mill Plaza on the article here. Also, stay up to date with us on social and join our newsletter.

Considering most of us were kids when we were introduced to the magical world of Harry Potter, chances are that meeting Ron and Harry’s BFF, Hermione Granger, in the books was your first run-in with someone with that name…and you probably had no clue how to pronounce it. Thankfully, in Goblet of Fire, there was a scene where Hermione’s name was spelled out phonetically, and if this was the first time you figured out how to pronounce it the right way, you weren’t the only one (even if it did take you four books to get there).
But as it turns out, this wasn’t just a coincidence—author J.K. Rowling was actually looking out for all of us. Of course, we’ve always suspected that’s what she was doing, but now we know for sure.
In a tweet to a fan on Monday, Rowling confirmed that the scene where Hermione teaches Victor Krum how to say her name was definitely written so that fans would know how to say it, too. Sneaky sneaky, Rowling.
In the passage in question, Krum thinks it’s “Her-my-own,” and TBH, so did a lot of us at first. Then, she explains it’s “Her-my-oh-nee.” Even then, he still doesn’t get it, but don’t worry—the rest of us did. And by the time the Harry Potter books made their way to the big screen, hearing the name out loud in reference to Emma Watson’s character really drove the point home.
Of course, a lot has changed since then, and most people can pronounce “Hermione” with ease. In fact, thanks to the beloved Hogwarts student finding her way into the hearts of millions, BabyCenter reports that the popularity of this name has been rising since 2004. And if those kids have a hard time getting their classmates to understand the pronunciation in kindergarten, they can point them to Harry Potter. Problem solved.

UPDATE: My recipe was selected to feature in the IQS (I Quit Sugar) Chocolate Cookbook ebook! See end of post for more info..
As a kid, homemade chocolate crackles were my favourite party food. As a teenager, the Nestlé Crunch was my favourite chocolate bar. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to discover it’s actually really easy to make a much healthier version of these using (my current favourite ingredient) quinoa and a raw chocolate mixture.
“Popping” the quinoa doesn’t change the size or shape (like popped corn, or puffed rice in rice bubbles), instead it gives it an ultra crispy crunch and lightly toasted taste.
If you’re OK with grains, millet also ‘pops’ in the same way as quinoa.
You can buy puffed quinoa from health food stores which is used as a breakfast cereal like rice bubbles or puffed wheat but it’s quite expensive (and more processed). Quinoa popped at home will not be as light and fluffy as the commercially puffed products – these are puffed by a commercial vacuum process.
Heat a deep saucepan to a medium-high heat (if you are cooking on gas make sure the flame doesn’t hit the bottom of the pan).
Pour (uncooked) quinoa into the pan so it covers the bottom in a single layer.
Move the pan in circles around the element to keep the quinoa moving to prevent it from catching/burning.
You will start to hear and see it ‘pop’ – keep moving the pan around until the popping stops.
Immediately tip the popped quinoa into a cold bowl to stop the ‘cooking’ process.
Once the butter and oil have completely melted, add the cacao powder, salt and coconut sugar/rice malt syrup and keep it on the low heat, stirring occasionally.
Add in the dry, popped quinoa and stir well to combine.
Pour into moulds (silicon are good as they just pop out once they’re set), or cover a plate (with slightly raised edges) with a sheet of baking paper then carefully pour the hot mixture on top and spread the quinoa out evenly to make a chocolate ‘bark’*.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to set then eat or store in either the fridge and freezer.
*If you’re using the ‘bark’ method, you could throw some chopped up nuts/seeds/fruit, or desiccated coconut if you wanted something a little ‘Golden Rough’y. In the photo below, I added 1/4 cup of toasted chopped almonds. Once it’s set, simply use the tip of a knife to roughly break it up into ‘chards’.
For complete transparency, I want to mention that as a thank you for my permission to use my recipe, Sarah has offered me a (pretty generous) 40% commission on any sales of her eBook. All the proceeds I make from these commissions I will be donating to Movember & the prostate cancer foundation of Australia. If you’re already on the IQS bandwagon, no doubt you’ll agree that making healthier decisions around sugar really do make you feel better (and help you lose weight loss if that’s one of your goals!). Perhaps you’re already thinking about buying the IQS Chocolate Cookbook eBook, or perhaps you want some healthier chocolate recipes (that also taste good!). If so, please consider clicking on the image below to buy the ebook.

Staff working papers set out research in progress by our staff, with the aim of encouraging comments and debate.
We use data on monthly patent applications to construct an external instrument for identification of technology news shocks in an information-rich VAR. Technology diffuses slowly and affects total factor productivity in an S-shaped pattern. Responsible for about a tenth of economic fluctuations at business cycle frequencies, the shock elicits a slow, large and positive response of quantities, and a sluggish contraction of prices followed by an endogenous easing of the monetary stance. The ensuing economic expansion substantially anticipates any material increase in TFP. Technology news shocks are strongly priced into the stock market on impact, but measures of consumer expectations take sensibly longer to adjust, consistent with a New-Keynesian framework with nominal rigidities, and featuring informationally constrained agents.

Once, poor Bhiku went to Bansi Lal's shop. Bansi Lal asked Bhiku, "Why are you standing here like this?"
Bhiku said, "Last night I saw a dream."
“What about the dream?" Bansi Lal smiled.
"I saw that I would get gold here, in front of your shop," Bhiku replied seriously.
Bansi Lal laughed and said, "You fool, dreams never come true. If dreams came true then I tell you what I saw in my dream. In my dream I saw that there is gold underground in your courtyard."
Bhiku rushed back. On the way he kept thinking, "May be dreams do come true." He reached home and started digging in his courtyard. Suddenly his shovel struck a pot. He took out the pot. It was filled with gold coins. Bhiku happily said, "Thanks to Bansi Lal who teased me about my dreams. Now I am no longer a poor man."
Thus it is true that courage and patience can make dreams come true.

Two of the more common marine mammals on the west coast of North America are sea lions and seals. The two belong to the superfamily Pinnipedia, which means fin-footed, and each has developed slightly different adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. Commonly mistaken for one another, it is easy to distinguish between the two once you know what to look for. In this video we highlight a few of the easily recognizable differences to help you tell them apart in the wild. So sit back and enjoy this educational view of two of our favorite coastal neighbors.
Sea otters, urchins and kelp, oh my! Explore the delicate balance of life in an emerald forest.

Ice cream for breakfast? New research says – go for it!
A new study listed in excite.co.jp, led by Kyorin University professor Yoshihiko Koga, suggests that eating ice cream for breakfast may be beneficial for brain function. Researchers found that test subjects who indulged first thing in the morning experienced better mental performance and overall alertness than those who did not.
In the study, researchers compared brain activity in subjects who had eaten ice cream for breakfast with a control group who had not.
The resulting data showed the ice cream eaters to have the mental advantage. They were able to process information more quickly and effectively than those who had not indulged, and demonstrated better reaction times as well.
In studying their brain activity, researchers were able to conclude that the participants who ate ice cream for breakfast experienced an increase in high-frequency alpha waves in their brains. These brain waves are associated with high levels of alertness, as well as imagination, visualization, memory, learning, and concentration.
The researchers repeated this experiment with a glass of cold water instead of ice cream, and did not see the same effect.
The participants who drank cold water upon waking did show higher levels of alertness and mental performance than those who did not. However, their brains were not as thoroughly stimulated as when they had eaten the ice cream.
Researchers have yet to uncover the reasoning behind these results. They suspect that there is an ingredient in ice cream responsible for this boost in cognitive ability, but they remain unsure as to what it is.
Koga stated that he would also like to investigate the effect having ice cream for breakfast can have regarding energy levels and positive emotion. As excited as I am about these findings, it is important to note that many nutritionists remain skeptical.
“A possible explanation (for increased alertness)… is the simple presence of consuming breakfast vs. not consuming breakfast,” said Katie Barfoot, a Nutritional Psychology Doctoral Researcher at Reading University. “Our brain needs glucose to function, and a high glucose meal will aid mental capacity considerably compared to a fasted brain.
Even so, I still think this new dietary plan is worth a try!

Discarded Angs of Guru Granth Sahib Ji thrown into rubbish bins.
New Delhi (KP) - More video evidence has come forth on the disrespect and desecration going on at the Gurupdesh Publishing facility in the Gurdwara Rakabganj Sahib complex.
Recently, PW presented an exposé, “Desecration of the Guru by Our Own Institutions” on the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) in which photographic evidence was published depicting serious Maryada violations at the publishing facility.
Sikh organizations and sewadars continue to pressure the Delhi Committee to make amends in the way they publish and treat the Sacred Saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Khalsa jio, when u have proof of beadbi giong in DSGMC then why u don't take any panthic action against it.
Just take all saroops from there and close such printing place where they can't give proper satkar to our saroops.
This is really sad. Can anyone tell me whether the foolish officials of DSGMC Gurupdesh Printing Facility has done the needful or not?

More often than not, Bachelor Nation couples tend to burn bright and fizzle out pretty quickly after the cameras turn off. Some chalk that up to the "reality TV curse," but there are plenty of exceptions to the rule. For example, Shawn Booth and Kaitlyn Bristowe aren't worried about the reality TV curse taking down their relationship. The couple — who found love on Bristowe's season of The Bachelorette — recently celebrated their three-year anniversary, and are still going strong. In fact, Booth told People he is especially confident because of one thing: "We don't take ourselves too seriously."
During an interview on August 2, People asked Booth how he and his fiancée had managed to avoid the "reality TV curse" and outlast so many other Bachelor Nation couples. "I think anybody who knows us or follows us sees that we like to have a lot of fun," Booth replied. "We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we take it day by day, like every other couple. We have a great time."
"We built that solid foundation on the show and have just become stronger ever since. We’re fortunate enough to connect and we’ve been having a blast for the past three years, just being supportive of one another and enjoying each other’s presence."
Booth and Bristowe got engaged at the conclusion of their season on The Bachelorette, and their decision to hold off on marriage has caused a lot of unjust scrutiny about the status of their relationship. They're taking things slow (which is probably a good thing), and Bristowe made it abundantly clear that they're enjoying the ride in a May 2017 Instagram post on the couple's second anniversary. "Cheers to the longest engagement ever," she captioned the cute photo. "I like that we don't feel pressure, I like that we have taken our time, I like that we still don't have a date set, and I kind of like you," she joked with a winking face emoji.
Despite having met in an unconventional environment, Booth and Bristowe make love look easy. That doesn't mean that it is always easy, though. They experience plenty of the same struggles as other couples — probably even more so because their lives and every move are widely on display.
In June, Booth explained to Entertainment Tonight why post-show relationships can be such a challenge. "It's tough," he said. "I can understand why [Bachelor] couples break up. If you're not strong enough to handle a lot of the outside noise and just the concept in general, it's very easy to call it quits." Fair. There is a lot of noise, especially for a couple like Booth and Bristowe, whose personal brands partially rely on one another.
"We've obviously had a lot of bad times," Booth admitted to ET, "but a lot of good times. We've just stayed humble through it all, and just put each other first and worked on our relationship. But it's not easy."
Clearly, whatever they're doing is working. In fact, some Bachelor Nation couples — present and future — could probably learn a thing or two from Booth and Bristowe. As for Booth's advice to current Bachelorette, Becca Kufrin? "Just support one another as much as possible — be each other’s rock," he told People. "It’s always extremely tough, so they’ve just got to trust and support one another." Wise words, Shawn. Here's hoping to Becca heeds them!

I’m excited to continue to break down the blueprint behind our Glass Warehouse Initiative with my third of four posts on the topic. If you haven’t already read the initial press release (click here) or my first or second post (click here), I would encourage you to read these first to better understand what I am discussing. If you are skipping ahead, our Glass Warehouse Initiative was developed to give our clients valuable insight into the logistics we provide for their supply chain. It breaks down into three key areas of focus – systems, technology, and data. Each plays an integral part in creating visibility throughout our facilities, from receiving and shipping to managing inventory and data analytics.
What I will focus on for this third post will be how the Glass Warehouse Initiative enables our clients to have visibility into fulfillment and shipping orders. Shipping orders out of our facilities starts with the robust systems we’ve put in place. Utilizing Cadence, our WMS (warehouse management system) from Cadre Technologies, dedicated CSR’s (customer service reps) process and release orders as they come from various ERP systems such as Oracle and SAP or via email or even phone calls. Our WMS confirms the products being picked are available, creates a physical picklist for the order, prepares any shipping labels for printing, and waves the order to a wireless RF-gun. It also provides visibility through our customer web portal, BLI Web, that the order has been received and is in the fulfillment process.
Order pickers on a forklift head out to our Wi-Fi-enabled warehouse floor with an RF-gun in hand. The WMS determines the most efficient pick path to pick everything needed to fulfill the order as quickly as possible. When the picker arrives at each location, he scans the location Mu (see first blog post) and confirms the quantity he is picking for the order. This instantly updates in Cadence WMS and BLI Web, providing visibility of available inventory to the customer. Once that has been done for each item, the order is dropped in the proper shipping lane and the shipping lane bar code is scanned confirming the order is now ready for loading. When the entire order is picked, our WMS automatically generates a packlist with all the products on the order and changes the order status to COMPLETE in BLI Web. Based upon customer requirements, customized shipping labels are created to meet client’s standards or vendor compliance and placed with the order.
It’s the responsibility of the quality control checker on the loading dock to systematically double-check everything on the order dropped off by the picker. They do a full account of everything by verifying the packlist against what’s on the dock as well as ensuring all labeling is correct. Currently, this is done with a mix of manual procedures and tablet technology, with a full transition to tablets by early 2017 to further streamline the process.
The final part of shipping orders is the movement of the orders onto the trailers. Trucks typically arrive through scheduling by Bonded Transportation or our client’s carrier. With the trailer at the dock door, our loaders scan the label on the pallet and then scan the dock door to confirm the correct trailer. Once complete, a VICS bill of lading (BOL) is printed to confirm what is on the trailer, who it’s from, and where it is going. This is signed by the driver and returned to us so we can update Cadence and BLI Web that the order has shipped. Each BOL is then scanned using state-of-the-art copiers that identify and match the BOL with the order using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. This allows our clients immediate visibility to shipment and tracking information through BLI Web.
Inventory demand data is analyzed monthly to assign velocity codes to all items in the warehouse. We utilize this data to help determine the best layout of the warehouse by looking at velocity and placing inventory in the optimal locations for picking. What our clients like to see is not only the order velocity but also geographic location of shipments, transportation analytics, and gauging inventory levels based on slow and fast moving sku’s. This allows them to better manage their transportation spend and make sure product is available so orders can be processed quickly.
Does your logistics’ partner offer up this kind of visibility when shipping out orders? If not, reach out to us so we can start a conversation about how we can help.

Half-year review: best books of 2018 so far!
I’m back! As you may have seen on my Instagram, I was recently on holiday (again) and so everything was a bit quiet… but I’m now back and ready to get back into blogging. I am right at the end of Emma by Jane Austen, so I will be writing about that soon, as well as my visit to the Jane Austen’s House Museum. But for now, as it’s July, it’s time to look back at the year in reading so far. Here are my favourite books that I have read since the start of the year (in no particular order) – have you read any of these?
My copy of this had been hanging around on my shelves for a while, and I finally got around to reading it this year – and I loved it. As I expected from Fallada, the writing and story are both incredibly true to life, and make the ordinary into the extraordinary. My review is here.
This was a random find on GoodReads recommendations, and I couldn’t resist it. The author’s mother was a model in the 50s and 60s, was a bridesmaid for Grace Kelly, and ended up living in a homeless shelter. It’s a fascinating story of mothers and daughters, growing up, and being a woman. My review is here.
I came across this book in my professional life in academic publishing, and was so pleased I decided to read it earlier this year. It’s a bit heavy-going and very detailed, but if you have the interest in women in the ancient world, it’s definitely worth it! My review is here.
The striking cover of this book caught my eye on social media, and I bought it soon after. It’s short and easy to read, and is one of the most engaging and moving novels I have ever read. Highly recommended! My review is here.
I reviewed this really recently, so I won’t go on too long, but if you love Jane Austen and haven’t read any other biography of her, this is a MUST. My review is here.
This book got a lot of attention when it came out earlier this year, partly because it is genuinely brilliant, despite the author passing away before finishing it; and partly because the subject of the book, the Golden State Killer, was identified and arrested a couple of months after publication. Highly recommended to anyone interested in crime and investigative journalism. My review is here.
I’d love to hear if anyone has read any of these, and your opinions on them! Any related recommendations would also be awesome sauce.
As some regular readers may know, I absolutely love Hans Fallada’s novel Alone in Berlin, and re-read it in 2017 (post here). For some reason this remained the only book of his I had read for some time. I bought a copy of Little Man, What Now? a while ago, I actually can’t remember when, but it sat on my shelf unread. I don’t know why. Luckily, I recently decided to actually look at my unread books instead of buying new ones – and I landed on this novel. I have a lovely Melville House paperback and I was pleased with myself for finally choosing to read it.
One of the things I love about Fallada’s writing is his uncanny realism. Even though I read his work in translation and the language can sometimes sound a little stilted, Fallada just seems to have a knack for making everything in his work seem utterly true to life and utterly real. He makes of a point of making his characters believable, of making their lives ring true. Little Man, What Now? was published in 1932, at the height (or perhaps the depths) of a recession, precipitated by the Wall Street crash of 1929. As Philip Brady discusses in the Afterword to the Melville House edition I read, unemployment was at a record high in Germany, and Fallada, like many others, felt the strain of the recession on himself and his family. Like his main character, the ‘little man’ Johannes Pinneberg, Fallada had a wife and young son. The novel is a sort of statement of protest, an examination of the daily hardships of living with just enough money to get by, but never really enough, and knowing that what little you do have could be so easily lost. The fact that the novel was so hugely successful on publication shows just how much it struck a chord with people – it showed them their own lives, their own suffering, and exposed the deep injustices of life ‘just above the bread line’, as Brady puts it in the Afterword.
At the opening of the novel Pinneberg and Lammchen (a pet name meaning something like ‘little lamb’) find themselves expecting a child, unexpectedly, and quickly get married. They must find their own place to live, and from there we follow their ups and downs as a married couple. They have several different flats, and eventually move to Berlin, where Pinneberg gets a job as a salesman in a department store. As with his previous job as a clerk at a grain company, at the department store we see the competitiveness and pettiness of the employees and management, the desperation for success – or at least to keep the job – and the bureaucracy with which the white collar workers must contend. Pinneberg and Lammchen must count every pfennig and every mark, and make his salary stretch as far as they can. Their discussions about their minimal finances, and Lammchen’s very precise shopping list, should not be interesting, but Fallada fills them with such a sense of urgency, of desire and desperation, that as a reader you are completely engaged and entertained, and you care so, so much about these two characters. I think that is Fallada’s gift – to make the most ordinary, ‘little’, people seem like the most important people in the world, to make the reader care about the minutiae of their lives. The fact that Lammchen is pregnant makes their situation all the more desperate, and your emotions are increasingly ravaged as she nears the birth. Pinneberg’s anxiety, fear, and joy are all rolled together in a wonderfully vivid sequence in which he waits to hear of the birth of his child – he is not allowed to go with Lammchen into the ward and must ring the hospital for an update. It is yet another area of his life where he has almost no control over anything, and he switches between excitement, fear, and intrusive thoughts of what might happen if something goes wrong and he never sees Lammchen again. The fragility of their lives is palpable.
It’s funny – the plot of Little Man, What Now? is in some ways riveting, with the couple’s ups and downs; but it is also completely mundane and ordinary. And yet when you are reading the novel, you are never bored, you never wish for ‘something’ to happen. You are right there in the moment with Pinneberg and Lammchen, observing their hardships and struggles, and their little moments of happiness. Fallada goes between straight narration and a kind of free indirect speech, and then into moments where the narration speaks to the characters, in such a way that you are completely wrapped up in the story and feel like you know exactly what the characters are going through. It is simply masterful.
I can’t say I know a huge amount about Germany in 1932 beyond the basics, but I feel like Little Man, What Now? has given me a sort of snapshot. There are creeping shadows of what is to come throughout the novel, as Pinneberg encounters Nazis and casual anti-Semitism, and I couldn’t help but wonder what becomes of him and Lammchen, and their son, when the war comes. In theory they could remain in Berlin, or at least in Germany, as they are not Jewish or a member of any other group that the Nazis persecuted. But they would have even less money, even fewer prospects. The novel ends on a small hopeful note, but overall the picture is far from rosy. I can’t help thinking about the time after the end of the novel. The Epilogue is entitled ‘Life Goes On’, and it certainly does, but one would hope things improve for Pinneberg, Lammchen, and the little Shrimp – their affectionate nickname for their son.
I personally don’t know anyone else who has read and loved Fallada, and I worry that he might be an acquired taste, but I will certainly be reading more of his work – in fact I have a copy of his monster novel Wolf Among Wolves on my shelf. All 905 pages of it.
First published by Rowohlt in Germany in 1932. I read the 2009 US Melville House edition, pictured above.

Henrietta Lacks' descendants will now play a role in reviewing research on the HeLa genome.
Henrietta Lacks’ descendants will play a role in reviewing research on the HeLa genome.
In August, the family of the late Henrietta Lacks finally got a seat at the table of science. Lacks died from cervical cancer in 1951. Her cancer cells, kept alive in the lab, became the first immortal human cell line, growing and dividing indefinitely. They soon became a research blockbuster. Easy-to-grow “HeLa” cells have been used in more than 76,000 studies.
Lacks’ family was never asked for permission to harvest her cells, an ethical violation made worse in March when German researchers published the sequence of the HeLa genome without asking. Since Lacks’ descendants share many of her genes, the publication compromised their privacy.
After outcry from the Lacks family and some researchers, the team withdrew the publication and apologized. Next came an unprecedented arrangement: Two Lacks descendants will join the National Institutes of Health HeLa Genome Data Access working group, which reviews and approves research on the genome.

Last summer, quite by accident, I had my front and back yard landscaped. It was the best home project ever. So it was in the first part of May, one beautiful evening my neighbour Anick phoned. She had a visitor, and had mentioned to him about me, and my thoughts of doing some landscaping. So enters, John W. They both came over to my house, and within 20 minutes we had a “rough plan” for the back yard, and he was hired. Usually I ponder things for a longer period but I am changing, and slowly becoming a new person. Put my faith in the Universe, and went for it. Besides once you hit the “50” mark – why not. Go for it. So that is exactly what I did.
A couple days later we had picked up the lumber, nails and other supplies and started the deck. That was the starting point of this landscaping project. Initially, we thought of extending the deck with a hour-glass shaped portion from the house to the garage. Once we got out there, and started measuring things we realized that that was not going to work. There would be gaps between the deck and the fence where someone (child, adult or Alvin) could fall down in between the deck and the fence. So, change of plans. John always thinking (as I got to know him) came up with a great plan. Why not, just use 16 foot lengths, no cutting. The deck would have a middle section that was attached to the deck off the house and then there would be three steps up to another tier or platform that was attached to the garage. (You can see this better in the photos than I can explain, LOL) At the same time, he added railings off the original deck at the high end, and at the top by the garage. Safety, always. We made several trips to the lumber yard. Stopping always for coffee at Starbucks. I should also mention, and give props to my neighbour Peter (Anick’s husband) who helped John with the construction aspect of the project. He shovelled dirt, showed off his nail gun skills, and when I had to run out for supplies with John, he graciously kept an eye on my Alvin. Alvin has become the neighbourhood ambassador of sorts – he loves everyone and they love him. Simple as that.
The first part of this project lasted only a few days giving me a taste of landscaping and ideas! I am so grateful to John and Peter for building me the most beautiful deck on the planet. It is great. I have the space to entertain a huge crowd.
Getting there ...... looks great.
Alvin checking things out, making sure it is safe !!
Visitors to see the new deck ..... and her Daddy (Peter). Cute butterfly.
David, Peter & Anick's youngest ..... what a cute little boy.
John & Peter, two of the greatest guys. They did such an awesome job on the deck.
John added the bird house that Amanda made in high school shop class to the top of the pole. Next day we had visitors.

Investment platforms and discussion platforms have come to change the face of finance. The stock market is open to both professional and non-professional investors via online financial channels. Information too comes via a shared domain as both professionals and non-professionals log onto online communication platforms to share, search and discuss market trends. Due to their growing role in finance, understanding online communities has become the focus of much stock market research. Determining who is influential in a network, how information spreads and what translates to buy or sell decision is potentially very lucrative. In this research paper a dataset from Stocktwits, a finance microblog, is analysed in order to determine a mechanism for identifying trustworthy and informative content in relation to Apple (AAPL) stock. Text analysis, user reputation classification and social network analysis are performed to generate features to measure correlations between the network and market changes.

AnnaSophia Robb is set to co-star opposite Charlie Plummer (All the Money in the World) and Taylor Russell (Lost in Space) in the Thor Freudenthal-directed film adaptation of Words On Bathroom Walls, based on Julia Walton’s debut novel. Plummer plays Adam, a high schooler living with paranoid schizophrenia and battling wild hallucinations. Luckily, an experimental drug trial promises to help hide his illness from his peers and most importantly from Maya, the girl of his dreams. Robb will play Rebecca, one of the main characters in Adam’s hallucinations who acts as a conduit for the feelings that he cannot express. Nick Naveda wrote the screenplay which LD Entertainment financing and Mickey Liddell and Pete Shilaimon are producing. Robb, whose upcoming projects include the supernatural drama, Down A Dark Hall for Lionsgate, Freakshow, produced by Drew Barrymore’s Flower Films, and the PBS Civil War mini-series Mercy Street, is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
Actor Richie Stephens (Blue Bloods, Criminal Minds) has been cast in the female-centered WWII spy drama titled Miss Atkins’ Army, which will star Stana Katic, Sarah Megan Thomas, and Radhika Apte. Lydia Dean Pilcher is directing the pic, which is based on the real-life spies in Winston Churchill’s “secret army.” It follows British intelligence officer Vera Atkins (Katic) and two of the women she sends to France as spies, Virginia Hall (Thomas) and Noor Inayat Khan (Apte). Stephens will play Training Officer John in the film, which Thomas wrote and will produce with Pilcher. Filming is slated to being in the spring. Stephens is repped by SMS, The Green Room, and Revolution Talent in London.

Originally from Japan, Yasuaki Okamoto lived in Barcelona, London, and Montreal before settling down in New York, where he is currently based. His paintings of quirky underwater scenes take inspiration from various experiences he had during his world travels. Through a storybook-like style, Okamoto paints cornucopias of brightly-colored sea creatures and underwater plants. His work draws a stark contrast between this aquatic paradise and the war and chaos on the earth above. While fighter jets and satellites fly through the sky, the colorful creatures coexist in perfect harmony under water.

Why did they? Well, actually it was not that much about Biden vs. Palin, but important thing was to find out which ticket people could trust if they voted for it. So Palins task was to convince people that McCain/Palin will do things better. That, I did not hear today. Palin was too busy surviving this evening that she could not even start doing this, if she would be able to do it at all.
Putin qualifies as new Alaskan Governor?
Sarah Plain or Sarah Pain?
She said she had been visiting troops in Iraq and now it was admitted that she did not. Miss Falsehood is really the Queen of Lies as it seems. I never have heard so many lies coming from one person in my whole lifetime. It seems that lying is her real qualification. Unbelievable. Does she know anything at all? And that does not really matter to republican voters? OMG. Maybe she can walk on water, too?

Currently used as a retail shop, with a space above with planning permission for a pied-á-terre, this highly unusual Salcombe property also comes with a slipway, running mooring and swinging mooring.
The space downstairs at Cottles Quay has planning consent for light industrial use and would make an ideal art gallery or artist’s studio with views over the water. The apartment above will have views out over the fish quay and creek to farmland beyond flaking Batson Creek. The area outside the property makes an excellent outdoor entertaining space.
Cottles Quay adjoins the Estuary at the centre of the popular waterside town of Salcombe in Devon which retains much of its original character and is much in demand among both property hunters and tourists. The estuary has numerous sandy beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages for sailors while the surrounding area on land is largely unspoiled countryside.
The guide price is £750,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01392 848 842 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.

I am very pleased to announce our new partnership with the renowned Waterfront landmark (or should that be watermark?) Mariners - soon to be re-named “1900”, in tribute to the original launch date of this boat-turned-restaurant. Under brand new management, chef/owner Julien Jourdain jumped at the chance to take over the beloved vessel, having first worked onboard in 2000.
For many years, Julien had his heart set on taking over Mariners one day and the wait paid off in November last year when he approached the previous owners and discussed his plans. Now Julien’s vision is becoming reality and he strongly believes that fate has brought him to this historic vessel.
Julien trained in catering college in Calais and has experience in venues in Paris as well as head chef for 10 years at the Waterfront Bar Bistro. These experiences set very high standards but also offered perhaps a slightly more unusual team-management approach, which is the whole atmosphere Julien is now trying to achieve at Mariners (1900).
Restaurant manager - Barbara - originally from France, was an existing team member whom Julien asked to become manager straight away. Barbara moved to the UK 5 years ago to experience training in catering and loved being here so much she decided to stay. By chance there was a vacancy going at Mariners and she has been there ever since. She too fell in love with the vessel and sees the potential it has.
It has been quite the adventure for the pair already, bringing the boat ‘back to life’, including a total revamp of the inside. Early next year will see changes to the outside, with Julien wanting ‘1900’ to look more inviting, by opening up the rear deck and featuring music and new seating. All of this to be enjoyed not only overlooking the water, but being the only place on the Marina to sit ON the water. Julien prides himself at not being expensive; the menu will offer value for money, including the wine list. The venue will work very hard with local producers and in the near future Julien is planning on opening up on Sundays, to serve his take on roast dinners, alongside the usual menu.
I look forward to seeing the changes throughout the months and seeing the love and dedication the vessel deserves. We will feature more news and history on ‘1900’ next month.

We will miss you PINK!!!
Soon we will have to say goodbye to Breast Cancer Awareness Month for this year.
PFS was glad to recognize it with you.
Looking back, have you learnt anything this month and have decided to do differently?
It could be either to further educate yourself, show more compassion and support for cancer survivors and get tested. Come next October, we should have evolved: become more informative about Breast Cancer so we can better protect ourselves, become a support for someone we know that was diagnosed and last but not least, #KNOW OUR STATUS!!! Each one of us.
Let us keep the spirit alive and as you go forth to educate yourselves further, become more involved etc.; PFS hopes your journey will be a fulfilling one and we look forward to hearing your stories.
October 28, 2015 marked PFS’ second Health Day, where our customers get the opportunity to be checked by our affiliate Medical Doctor and get their prescriptions and referrals. The Health Day also presented us with an opportunity for the customers to tell us how they are doing, generally speaking.
Truly an enrichment it was for us here at PFS!!
We hope to see you at the next Health Day, PFS customers!!!
When you come through the doors of PFS, you are greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming atmosphere, you feel at home already, you feel confident and assured in doing business.
You have needs to be met and “Your Partner in Finance” is prepared to meet your financial needs by charting logical, comfortable, and financially feasible loan arrangements.
How does PFS achieve that in a highly competitive Micro Finance Industry?
This feat is through customer retention – ensuring that customer satisfaction is obtained in the delivery of all our products and services.
Loan products are everywhere. However, which would you prefer: (1) A monotonous loan officer or one who is genuinely interested in what works for you? (2) A product just fed to you or a product that is crafted and customized to suit your urgent and unique needs?
Our Loan Officers and Collections Officers have tunnel vision towards the goal of ultimate customer satisfaction. PFS extends a welcoming hand to talented individuals who believe they have the skill set to add value to the PFS Team to come join us.
If we feel we are not doing a good job, we ask for your feedback and we implement your suggestions.
Thank you to the PFS Team for delivering exceptional customer service every time!!!
A large part of Breast Cancer Awareness month is the opportunity to hear the stories of the many survivors and what brought them through those grueling times. Stories that go way deep and far beyond our everyday and temporary turmoils. Survival is beautiful, and so Cancer survivors are BEAUTIFUL.
PFS thought to share some inspiration surrounding Breast Cancer survival.
From PFS: “Your Partner in Finance”.
Happy Belated Heroes’ Day Jamaica!!!
PFS hopes that you all enjoyed your Heroes’ Day and the celebrations that may have taken place in each town or a town near you, for our Heroes.
We would also like to use this opportunity to give our congratulations to all recognized awardees of the National Honours and Awards Ceremony 2015; we laud all recipients as each individual’s contributions, talents and sacrifices to our nation carries their own story, and affects different individuals’ lives. It was truly a beautiful compliment for all these ordinary people doing extraordinary things to be in one place. Their recognition shows the island’s appreciation .
Each year this event reminds us that despite our many challenges, difficulties and conflicts as a nation, individuals have been responding to their inner calling to change lives and be an inspiration. PFS was truly inspired, and the event was not short of the perfecting attributes that went into planning and organizing this stellar event.
Jamaica is blessed with rich and diverse talents, and spirits of sticktoitivness, as was apparent, some awardees were given the awards after many years of service. Thus, was their lives. A life of change, a life of growth, development and advancement.
Our National Honours and Awards Ceremonies are a beacon of inspiration, something our youths of today can look forward to, have it shape their lives and and make an impact. PFS encourages us all to be inspired.
From PFS: Your partner in Finance.
PFS believes that adequate information on Breast Cancer will put you in a better position to protect yourself.
But what if you are afraid to get tested because you do not think you can handle the anxiety of waiting for the results? Comfort yourself with this thought: “the earlier I know, the sooner I can do something about it.” Cancer does not have to be the end of your life.
But, what if after you found the courage to get tested, you then find out that you have Breast Cancer? What then?
An oversight of the Breast Cancer Awareness month is that it only caters to those who have not yet tested for cancer or do not have cancer etc. Remember, cancer research is continuous and on-going, and maybe one year good news may be had for those who have been diagnosed with, battling and fighting to overcome Breast Cancer and for their loved ones who usually feel helpless and powerless in these instances.
One story that will echo most cancer survivors is that they had to find hope in something, summon up will to live, that helps them to remain positive. This is after the initial shock, that may take some time to wear off, and the period of grief that comes from finding out you have a terminal illness.
You are encouraged to take it in strides. Even if you are not affected, you may know someone that is and may be in a position to offer some form of comfort. Do not assume that individuals with Breast Cancer (or any other form of cancer) have had enough love and support. Remember, one loved one cannot provide everything!!! It is why families are growing and communities have been formed.
Through it all, you must stay encouraged; whether you are going through or watching your loved one go through it.
PFS cares that it is Breast Cancer Awareness month !!!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and PFS would like to encourage you all to get tested and be informed. During this time, there is greater access to information. You are urged to get tested as early as possible, as statistics show that early detection of Breast Cancer can save lives.
Too, in this month, support groups and support organizations unite to ensure that the issue of Breast Cancer is public knowledge, this way the public is informed and is also gives individuals the opportunity to offer their support. Families whom have lost loved ones to the illness have formed their own secondary families and provided support to each other and relationships have being lasting for years.
Though tragic in its occurence, Breast Cancer has united many strangers that have now been bonded by sharing the pain from losing a loved one to Breast Cancer.
Again, PFS encourages you all to get tested, be informed and be as involved as you can be in the awareness drive.
People that are diagnosed have all held on to and continue to hold on to Faith, Hope and Love even after diagnosis. You may need this for yourself or someone you know.
PFS goes pink for October.
From your Partner in Finance.
PFS wants to help build Jamaica !!!!!
Jamaica: we have been given a task to import less and grow more. For our island and for export.
PFS encourages farming, we want to help farmers improve and revolutionize their produce. The more increase in the sector, the more export and less import and more security and sustenance for our island’s people.
Let’s all invest in our island, in any way that we can. This is PFS’ way.
Benefit from our agricultural loans today!!! Revolutionize your farm today with our financial assistance; as we work together to build our country, our home.

This dress has never been worn. It was purchased in November, 2013. One of my friends who is also engaged bought the exact same dress (we had no idea) and is getting married before me. I don’t want my fiancé seeing the dress before he sees it on me so I am trying to sell this dress. The fabric is beautiful, it is light and comfortable. Absolutely gorgeous dress! Asking $800 and that includes the matching Vera Wang flower sash!! Sash was purchased for $133 and can be seen in the photos.
Never worn. Bought November, 2013. Is being stored in a clean closet in a zipped storage bag.

Barring a shocking trade or a minor free agent signing, the Oilers roster we see now will be the same one we see come September. With minimal changes to the roster, it’s clear that the organization is banking on some best-case scenarios from players this year in order to return to the playoffs.
Over the next few weeks, you’ll see me go through every player who should have an impact in the Oilers organization and try to guess what that players “ceiling” is, and also what their “floor” would be performance wise.
In doing this, I’ll be making a few assumptions. The first being that the player stays healthy for the entire season. Obviously, the worst case scenario for any player would be to miss a significant amount of time with injury. The other is that the player will spend the entire season with the Oilers. It would be easy to say that the best case scenario for some names is that they’re traded away from Edmonton.
For the high end of things, I tried to be realistic yet optimistic. Of course, it’s POSSIBLE for someone like Jujhar Khaira to score 35 goals this year… but c’mon.
One other note to consider when reading this piece, although I have these players listed at bottom six wingers, it doesn’t mean that I believe they’ll be bottom six wingers all year. That’s just where I’m assuming they start training camp.
THE CEILING: The word “bust” was being thrown around a bit the last year. Let me start by saying that is absolutely insane. I wouldn’t even call this a make-or-break year for the fourth overall pick, I just want to see some steps forward.
With that said, we’ve seen players like Mikko Rantanen and Nik Ehlers breakthrough in their 20-year-old seasons, so maybe we see that with Puljujarvi. Yes, this is his third season in the league, but not all prospects develop on a straight line. It’s ridiculous to have to continually explain that.
If he clicks in the top-six and FINALLY starts getting used properly on the powerplay, I’ll say Puljujarvi can score 30 goals this year. It’s a high number, but he has the raw talent and if it all clicks this year, look out!
THE FLOOR: Well, he hasn’t been able to stick on a line with either McDavid or Draisaitl so far in his career, so we probably shouldn’t just assume that will happen this year.
He did look pretty comfortable on the wing with Ryan Strome last year, and it allows him to not only face sheltered minutes but also carry the puck through the neutral zone more, which he loves to do.
If he spends all year on Strome’s wing, and can’t get a spot on either powerplay unit, I’ll say his floor is 12-10-22, a two-point increase on last year. A year like that could end his career as an Oiler.
THE CEILING: The fan base is absolutely split on Drake Caggiula. Some look at him as a young, bottom six forward with offensive upside. Others see him as a fringe NHLer who is massively overvalued by his coach.
Both of those are actually true, and in his third year in the league, it’s time for Caggiula to shut the haters up.
While he is 24-years-old, he only has 127 games of NHL experience. There’s no doubt he’s still learning a lot, and I believe he has room to grow. Last year, we saw him increase his goal total from 7 to 13, despite having to battle through a tough facial injury.
If Caggiula continues to get chances on the powerplay and can stick in the top six for extended periods of time, I could see him once again increase his goal total by six. 19 goals and 15 assists is my ceiling for the Pickering, Ontario product.
THE FLOOR: Well, the battle for jobs in the Oilers bottom six will ramp up if Kailer Yamamoto makes the team. If you factor in Brad Malone, or if the Oilers go sign another fringe NHLer, there could be as many as seven players competing for five spots on the roster.
That could leave Caggiula either buried on the fourth line, or out of the lineup entirely.
If that situation comes to fruition, I could see Caggiula only playing about 50-60 games and scoring somewhere between five and seven goals. That number would make it his $1.5 million cap hit an overpay, and would only increase the pressure from parts of the fan base.
THE CEILING: As one of the few bright spots on last year’s team, I have high hopes for Khaira heading into this season and I believe he might even find his way into the top six on a more regular role. I would also love to see him used more on the powerplay.
Last year we saw him score 11 goals, if he’s stapled to the wing of Leon Draisaitl or Connor McDavid, it could be a big year for the former 3rd round pick.
20-20-40 is my ceiling for Khaira.
THE FLOOR: I think he’s got a spot on the team locked down, but there’s a chance he’s nothing more than a fourth line winger. Another thing that might derail his season is an injury to either Ryan Strome or Kyle Brodziak which could force Khaira to the middle of the ice, where he isn’t as effective.
I’ll set his floor at 8-8-16 with no impact on either special team’s group.
THE CEILING: Kassian has played in 387 career NHL games. At this point, we know what he can bring to the table, it’s just a matter of whether or not he does it on a nightly basis.
In 16/17, he was fantastic at running over the opposition and wreaking havoc on the forecheck. I think that element of his game brings value to the Oilers lineup, and we saw that during their playoff run.
Last year, he didn’t have the same physical edge, and it showed. I believe that lack of physicality hurt his ability to create offensive chances. His scoring chances for, and high-danger scoring chances both dropped last year.
A great year for Kassian would see him bring back his nasty, physical edge which would help turn their fourth line into a real source of energy. I could also see him hitting the 12 goal mark with some offensive luck. I would love to see him help the penalty kill as well.
THE FLOOR: The same bland game I saw from Kassian far too often last year simply won’t cut it this year. He needs to earn his $1.9 million cap hit.
That’s not a guarantee though, and the one thing we know with Kassian is the negatives can snowball in his game. When he isn’t for checking and playing physical, it leads to less scoring chances which usually frustrates him into taking a bad penalty.
My floor for Kassian isn’t about numbers, although if he scores less than seven goals I’d consider it a very poor season. But if he appears uninspired and is noticed more for taking lazy penalties than forcing turnovers and bringing energy to the fourth line, this season will be a bust.
THE CEILING: His half-season in Edmonton was rather eventful. He saw time in the teams top six, but there was also some unknown drama surrounding him that led to him being scratched and a great mini-rant from Todd McLellan (which starts at 1:25 of this video).
He’s been a streaky offensive player at times, he scored seven points in four games during a hot stretch last March and also had four points in a four-game stretch during Nashville’s 2017 playoff run.
If he gets on one or two hot streaks this year, I could see Aberg pumping home 12 goals and 15 assists this year, which would be more points than he has so far in his entire NHL career combined.
THE FLOOR: While the Oilers are wicked thin on the wings, they have a rather clogged bottom six. If Kailer Yamamoto makes the team out of camp or gets called up at any point, it wouldn’t be a stretch to see Aberg get placed on waivers.
He’ll likely stay in the bottom-six all year, and I doubt he’ll even have an impact on either side of the special teams. That would result in him either leaving Edmonton or going to Bakersfield.
My floor for Aberg is being placed on waivers before the season even starts. Simple as that.
NOTE: Kailer Yamamoto did not appear on either “The Top-Six” or “The Bottom Six”. That’s because I have him included in a group I called “The Fringe” which will be part six of the series.
Ah Oiler fans and their pitchforks and torches. Running out a young player because he had a tough (injured) year. God forbid McDavid ever scores less than 100 points. The leagues most negative fans will run him out as well. Brutal. Even if Cag exceeds the The Ceiling the witch hunt is already in full swing and we lost another potentially solid player.
never have i trashed mcdavid, he is the only reason this team one games last year.
also caggulia isnt as young as you think, and it is shown that he drags down not only the best player in the world but what ever center he plays with, Strome, Drai, or nuge. And here we are writing critisims about these centers driving offence on their own and etc. yet the simple solution is to get rid of a replacement player that is now paid to much. He brings nothing to this team that you can get off of waivers. Yet he is given opportunity after opportunity and brings down the team. Sorry he is not an NHL player, i am not an NHL player that is reality. The coaches stubborness with this player cost us a better player with more skill, upside, and a better shooter in Slepyshev. Whos next JP? Even if JP doesnt becomes a top player we are destroying his asset value for what? A player who forechecks hard but has no skill and brings nothing to this team in terms of winning or asset value.
running out the caggulias, no bid deal. If it means connor doesnt have to play with him. i will drive him to the airport.
Have to agree. I see Caggulia as a spare part/ waiver fodder/14th forward. Too much money, too much term. I honestly dont know what they see in the guy.
Welcome to Edm. If your not a star by 20yrs old, run them out of town. And if you have a bad stretch of games (even if you have a proven stack record) run them out of town.
Go be a good, or great, NHLer somewhere else.
haha, not a star by 20. How old is caggulia? i dont expect a star, i expect a capable nhl player that does not bring down the worlds best player.
A good reason to keep Caggulia around is to give these people someone to focus there negativity on. If not they will have to turn their eye on to someone that really is value to the team today an in the future…ie Drai, Larsson, Nuge. Haters gonna hate.
Caggulia has only played 2yrs, way to early to say he’s not gonna be a good NHLer. Maroon didn’t become a regular until 27.
I agree that it is too early to call Pulj a “bust.” In fact I think he has shown signs that he will be a top 6 winger and have a long NHL career. I have seen little to think anything else. I do however think he was the wrong draft pick. I always have although when I first started saying that Tkachuk was the obvious better selection, I got a lot of flack. I think we are far enough into their careers to agree that the future looks better for the Flames prospect. It appears to come down to work ethic and the level of compete. I know that some of the people calling him a bust are just referring to the fact that he shouldn’t have went 4th overall in the draft.
I am not a Caggulia fan at all. I don’t think he should ever be above the 3rd line and I would prefer he be on the 4th line but it’s amazing to me how many people think he is a 13th forward or a guy who should be waived. The guy scored 13 goals last year. People complain about all the wingers that the Oilers traded away yet they are fully fine with just waiving a guy that scored 13 goals in 67 games last year. If he hit waivers, MANY teams would scoop him up in a heartbeat because he scored 13 goals last year. In today’s NHL where if you score 20, you are considered a 2nd liner, 13 goals is pretty good. It wouldn’t shock me if he scored over 15 this year warts and all. How can the Oilers afford to just give a guy away that as “bad” corsi as he was, managed 13 goals. They can’t.
That stat does not account for him dragging down everyone he plays with. Black hole on offence.

Judging by how the most stylish people in the world are carrying around their bits and bobs, we may be on the cusp of a new era for handbags.
Even the word “handbag” seems a little dusty. It suggests a bellowing Lady Bracknell and cavernous hard-bottomed hindrances lugged around by stiff handles, or swinging from one shoulder while bouncing uncomfortably off the other hip. Tackling the impracticality of hauling around a small pile of possessions on one’s person hasn’t always been high on the fashion industry’s agenda until a recent wave of utilitarian references hit the runways.
Now, Street Style has spoken and it’s chosen function over form; tidied-up accessories for women who don’t want their things to weigh them down. Milan Fashion Week compounded the innovative hands-free trend with Instagram’s fashion icons choosing Fendi’s tool-kit belts to pay tribute to Karl Lagerfeld at the shows. Along with over the shoulder “bumbags”, it shows women no longer have to sacrifice the use of one hand to carry around things they need.
Double-up on hands-free storage with utilitarian pockets.
Hooks for belts and shades alongside a packet of “secrets”.
The “multi-accessory belt” puts pockets front and centre.
The bum bag is now called a “belt bag”.
Anything that makes it easier to use a phone has to be a winner.
This black nylon Prada bag, as as seen on Carline Daur, is a street style favourite.
Tiffany Hsu puts her accessories on display in a clear Boyy bag.
Chanel’s transparent PVC handbag gives a hint of what’s inside.
Xenia Adonts’ tiny bag is elegant in traditional tan leather.
Jaime Xie’s micro Dolce & Gabbana Sicily bag is covered in crystals.
Olivia Culpo’s outfit for Ermanno Scervino isn’t weighted down by a heavy handbag.

The level of professionalism and skills which were displayed by the team at On Site Malta was exceptional. This was a big event with 1400 international participants and having 13 parallel sessions and pre and post conference activities. On Site Malta were there to plan out the right path for this event from inception to completion. We worked hand in hand and under their leadership, tenacity and intense patience with the demanding organizing committee. Indeed<br /> it was a joyful experience to work with such a skillful team which made the organisation meetings something to look forward to.
I would like to highly recommend the services of On Site Malta as a destination management company. I had the privilege to work with them during the organisation of the 2015 Valletta Summit on Migration. Their support, input, cooperation and coordination was invaluable for the success of this summit, which in itself was the largest and most complex event ever organised in Malta. Most notable is the fact that they offer great peace of mind in the area they were responsible for. For this I recommend the services of On Site Malta as service providers.
Thank you is not a word big enough to express my gratitude for all you have been doing over the past 3 days. All of you are super professionals, reliable and trustworthy but above all, all of you are beautiful people with a big, big heart and loads of passion serving one single goal: spread happiness around you. Whether it be your fellow partners/suppliers, your agency clients or the lucky participants … genuine smiles on all the faces are the true expression of you reaching your goal, each time we are setting foot on your island. Thank you for helping us build the reputation of MAX and above all for your friendship all through those years. Without Peter this project would also not have been the same! See you soon for other challenges.
Thank you so much for all your help with our groups this weekend. It has been a true pleasure working with the both of you - before and during the groups’ stays. It so wonderful to work with people who does not use the word “no”, but rather “no problem”! You have everything under control all the time. Both trips has been a huge success and both clients are “over the moon” happy!
Choosing a DMC to work with for the 2014 JCI European Conference was a good decision and choosing Onsite proved to be imperative to the success of our conference. The Onsite team lead by Ms Helga Ebejer was truly dedicated, professional and committed. They worked as an extended part of our committee. The advice and support that we were given throughout the entire process starting from a year in advance was priceless and helped us make sure that we gave the best experience to our delegates.
Almost every year we visit the Baroque Festival in Valletta in January and the Opera Festival in March. The cooperation with On Site Malta is very nice every time. They think together with us to make the tour on unforgettable experience for our clients. OSM offers the best restaurant in the city, very nice Dutch speaking guides, good hotels and excellent service. I want to thank OSM for the nice cooperation and looking forward to organise the classical music tours for 2016.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — Malaysia aims to be the second largest producer of solar photovoltaics (PV) in the world by 2020, said Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water Secretary-General, Datuk Seri Dr Zaini Ujang.
He said the current output was 12 per cent and the aim was to reach 20 per cent by then.
“Malaysia is currently ranked third in terms of solar PV production.
“According to market research, in 2015, total global shipment of solar PV amounted to 50.8 gigawatts.
“China contributed 48 per cent, Taiwan 20 per cent, Malaysia 12 per cent and Japan six per cent,” he said.
Zaini said this to reporters after opening the two-day 7th International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia here today.
He said in order to achieve the target Malaysia must adopt the green technology and not being left behind this lucrative markets such as in the US, European and Japan.
“Another initiative to meet the target is that Malaysia is now embarking on net energy metering (NEM) as an attractive method to drive solar energy growth,” he said.
NEM will enable more house and building owners, whether industrial or commercial, to generate electricity for solar PV and use it internally, he said.
Zaini said Malaysia has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emission intensity of gross domestic product by 45 per cent by 2030.

Can I access the service from more than one computer?
Yes, you can access Cards servicing from almost any Internet connected PC or Apple computer at any time.
How can I get Cards OnLine to load quickly?
Go to the 'Tools' menu (IE5 or IE6) or the 'View' menu (IE4).
Check you are looking at the 'General' tab and click 'Settings'.
Under 'Check for newer versions of stored pages' select the option 'Every time you start Internet Explorer'.

Are there any additional precautions I can take to keep my information private? What recommendations do you have?
Use the latest version of either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Both of these browsers are certified for use at our site.
Keep your password and Internet PIN confidential. Change it frequently to ensure that no one else can guess it, do not write it down, and do not let anyone else use it.
Never walk away from your computer without exiting the system first. Once you have ended your session, no further transactions can be processed until you sign on to the system again.
Can anyone else see my account information? How do you keep my details private and secure?
As long as you keep your security details secret and log off every time you use the online service, no one else will be able to access your account information.
Account aggregation is an internet-based service that allows consumers to view their financial information from multiple products, across multiple financial institutions, on a single web site.
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group has serious security concerns about customers passing their security details onto an aggregation service. Consequently, we do not recommend that customers currently use these services. We are investigating the most appropriate means to provide customers with the benefits of Aggregation without compromising security or data integrity.
In the meantime you should not pass to an aggregation service provider or store on your computer -even in an encrypted format- your Cards servicing security details. In the latter case your obligation to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the fraudulent use of your security details including not recording them in any way which may result in them becoming known to a third party will apply to how you keep secret whatever security (which must be known only to yourself) you apply to accessing the software holding your encrypted security details. If you do give your security details to an aggregation service provider you will be in breach of our Terms and Conditions. If you enter your security details into aggregation service software you may find yourself to be in breach of our Terms and Conditions. In both cases you will be exposing yourself to liability for any unauthorised transactions on your account.
We are using 128-bit SSL encryption which has proven to be highly secure. With this level of scrambling, the 'de-scrambling' of banking details is far too difficult (if possible at all) to pose a significant risk to customer confidentiality. Also we have strong additional safeguards against tampering.
What measures are taken to ensure the service is not open to infection by computer viruses?
No viruses can be uploaded to or downloaded from site, because we do not accept code and all data is carefully vetted at the entrance to our computer complex.

The government’s partial shutdown will drag until at least next Thursday after the Senate adjourned on Saturday without taking action to end the funding lapse and reopen the federal government as both Republicans and Democrats dug in on their positions over funding for Trump’s proposed border wall while negotiators tried to find a potential solution.
No progress was made despite several gatherings on Capitol Hill, with Senate majority leaders Mitch McConnell saying the Senate would not be voting on the issue until at least Dec. 27. The Kentucky Senator said the body would hold a pro forma session on Monday, Dec. 24, then will reconvene after Christmas on Thursday, Dec. 27, and senators will be notified when a vote is called. That will put the focus on getting a deal before lawmakers return on Thursday.
Senators failed to reach a funding agreement as Trump demanded $5 billion for his proposed wall along the border with Mexico, and is unwilling to budge even as Democrats repeatedly refused. Then House Republicans dug in, declining to pass a bill to keep the government running into February after the president threatened to veto it Thursday.
Senate leaders and only a handful of lawmakers had gathered at the Capitol around noon on Saturday with modest hope of finding a way forward to end the shutdown, which began at 12:01 a.m. Saturday and is affecting nine department, or about a quarter of the federal government.
Vice President Pence also returned to the Capitol on Saturday and met with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer for a second time in two days. A spokesman for Schumer told The Hill that the Senate Democratic leader was meeting with Pence “at the White House’s request” and that Schumer expected to get a readout of Trump’s lunch with GOP lawmakers.
“The Vice President came in for a discussion and made an offer. Unfortunately, we’re still very far apart,” the spokesman added after the Schumer-Pence meeting.
Earlier, Trump took to Twitter on Saturday morning, threatening a “long stay” if he does not get the “Border Security” he’s demanding.
In a joint statement, Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Trump “threw a temper tantrum and convinced House Republicans to push our nation into a destructive Trump shutdown in the middle of the holiday season.” They appeared prepared for the closure to last past Jan. 3, which is when Democrats will take control of the House and Pelosi will likely become speaker with Pelosi saying that no pact will be signed until Trump accepts a bipartisan deal; she added that Democrats will pass a spending bill when they take over in January.
With neither side willing to budge, the shutdown will likely last well into the new year after a senior Trump administration official offered no signs of compromise. He told reporters on Saturday, “We continue to articulate our expectations of $5 billion for border security and physical barriers” according to CNBC.
The political fight will affect hundreds of thousands of Americans, over Christmas and potentially into the new year. More than 420,000 federal workers are projected to work temporarily without pay. About another 380,000 government employees are expected to face furloughs.
Perhaps. Indeed, one of the reasons why this event is not being taken too seriously by the financial punditry, markets or much of the media, is that looking back not only have most government shutdowns been brief affairs, lasting less than 10 days – with the occasional outliers, such as the 21-day closure in 1995 and the 16-day halt in September 2013 – they have had little to no impact on either the market or the economy.
That said in this particular case, Trump already feels he has compromised by lifting the last government shutdown in January of 2018, when he conceded on the border wall. This time he has warned there will be no concessions. Which is why, with both sides dug in and unwilling to budge, the shut down could last well into January.
The good news is that lawmakers have already funded the sprawling Defense and Health and Human Services departments, among others. The unfunded departments include The shutdown affects the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, State, Transportation and Treasury, among others.
Quantifying the economic impact of the shutdown, Goldman on Saturday wrotes that the practical effects of a shutdown should be smaller than usual, as Congress has already passed spending bills accounting for roughly ¾ of discretionary spending (i.e., spending approved annually by Congress). From a headcount standpoint, the departments currently lacking funding account for a somewhat greater share of “nonexempt” employees that will be furloughed if the shutdown continues, but this still amounts to only 40% of the number of employees typically furloughed in a shutdown. As a result, Goldman expects the effect on real GDP would amount to a modest -0.07% per week of shutdown.
For those worried about the impact of the shutdown on upcoming data releases, Goldman notes that during government shutdowns, federal agencies postpone economic data releases until after the government reopens, at which point staff take time to both prepare overdue releases and to collect data from the shutdown period. This year, a shutdown would have less of an effect on economic data releases than during the extended shutdowns of 1995-96 and 2013 because the Department of Labor, which publishes the monthly payrolls, weekly jobless claims, and CPI reports, will not close as a result of the shutdown, since its budget authority was already passed as part of the partially completed appropriations process discussed above. Most other major federal government data are published by the Department of Commerce, which would however close in the event of a shutdown. Federal Reserve releases such as regional manufacturing surveys, industrial production and consumer credit data, and the December FOMC minutes should be published as usual, since the Fed does not rely on congressional appropriations for funding. Private sector data will also be published as usual.
The full breakdown of which data releases will be affected by the shutdown is shown below.
Finally, as pertains to markets, Goldman does not expect the partial shutdown to have substantial effects on financial markets, as this particular shutdown is unrelated to the debt limit and has no implications for Treasury financing. That said, the confusion and disorder surrounding this week’s spending debate suggest fiscal deadlines in 2019—including the debt limit deadline, which will fall between August and October—could be more disruptive than they have been since the 2011-2013 period.
As a reminder, in early 2018, Congress suspended the debt limit until March 1, 2019. Once the debt limit is reinstated on March 2, the Treasury will have roughly $200bn in cash balance at its disposal, along with roughly $300bn in accounting maneuverers known as “extraordinary measures” that will provide additional capacity to finance government operations before the debt limit becomes a constraint. Based on budget projections, Goldman assumes that the Treasury will be able to continue borrowing under the debt limit until at least August, and possibly as long as October.
In other words, this government shutdown will likely have very little impact on the economy and markets. It may, however, embolden both sides to shutdown the government again some time in the fall, when the stakes will be far greater.

Set into a quiet, lushly landscaped neighborhood nestled on the Pacific Ocean's deep blue waters, Dreams Villamagna Nuevo Vallarta is a hidden treasure for all-inclusive resort seekers who also want to avoid crowds of vacationers.

This is a Hand Painted Illustration of a Tulip and Wild Rose. The illustration is of a multi-petaled corolla of a pink wild rose, surrounded by serrated green leaves, and a five petaled pale yellow tulip with streaks of deep purple and burgundy, surrounded by long blade shaped green leaves. The stem of the tulip forms an arch, which disappears behind the rose. The brushstrokes are very fine and can be seen with a magnifying glass. The painting, measuring 6.5" high by 4.75" wide (with rounded tabs on each corner), is on a piece of manilla folder. Artist and age of the work are unknown. This Hand Painted Illustration of a Tulip and Wild Rose is in very good condition and ready for framing or use in another artwork.

Prescott is well known for Historic Whiskey Row located right downtown. This easy-going kick back atmosphere draws tourists from all over the state to bask in the cool breeze of the Courthouse Plaza or to dance at the notorious Palace Bar and Grille. Prescott was also a historic Route 66 destination back in the day because of its proximity to I-40. Those taking a detour down the world-renown Oak Creek Pass into Sedona from 66 would inevitably drive over Mingus Mountain, through Arizona's mountainside ghost-town, Jerome, and into Prescott proper. After a night's stay at the Hassayampa Inn, Hotel Vendome, or Hotel St. Michaels, it was a quick 45 minute drive back up to Ashfork to pick up where they left off.
The annual courthouse lighting is a holiday extravaganza you don't want to miss! Thousands gather on the courthouse lawn, singing Christmas carols together alongside hundreds of school children on the courthouse steps finally to witness the flip of the switch. In 2013, this strange white material started falling out of the sky during the singing of Christmas Carols! Everyone was in awe as snow fell in large flakes for at least an hour during the entire event...it was magical.
The Acker Musical Showcase is also a Holiday event not to miss. The streets downtown are blocked off around the courthouse plaza as tens of thousands swamp the local businesses to hear musicians and bands share their talents. The courthouse is lit by this time, and thousands gather in the streets to greet each a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holiday.
Halloween is also a treat for locals in the downtown Prescott district. Be sure to check out Mt. Vernon St. where thousands of locals swarm the old Victorian homes up and down the street for 3 blocks to trick or treat a tradition which started in the late 70's. We know... because we lived one street over, and we were there.
How about some Jazz on the Plaza during the summer nights? How about square dancing on the Plaza? How about movie night or talent night on the Plaza? All of these events occur during the summer months in downtown Prescott. If it's too much to handle, take a break and head over to the Brewing Company for a beer or a quick treat. There's always something going on in Downtown Prescott, AZ.
Downtown Prescott is not a subdivision, it's a section of town surrounding the courthouse plaza. From Park St. to Arizona St. is considered "downtown". Some may say Mt. Vernon to Park St. is "downtown". But it all depends on one's definition. Ken Lindley Field used to be considered "downtown" during the 70's and 80's due to all the action occurring at the park during the summer softball season. The definition of downtown was literally from the Armory to the Courthouse. The Prescott Armory was a indoor basketball court equipped with locker room and showers. It also doubled as offices and storage for the city. Next to the Armory was a pair of Tennis Courts backed by the Parks and Rec building and the Smoki Museum behind. Just across Arizona Street is Ken Lindley Field, now equipped with Prescott's skateboard park.
Downtown Prescott has many restaurants and entertainment venues. The Plaza itself is the largest venue for entertainment with concerts, political guests, town events, and church events. Whiskey Row is actually a street to the west of the courthouse plaza named Montezuma. There you'll find the Palace Restaurant, Matt's Saloon, The St. Michaels Hotel and restaurant (equipped with "The Alley"), along with quaint shops and art galleries. The Alley is a unique "hallway" built into the side of the St. Michael's Hotel. Cobblestone and brick walls line the gas lamp lit interior where you'll find some of Prescott's most eclectic shops. Gurley St. borders the Plaza to the north with Bashford Courts, a local indoor mall with more eclectic flare and of course, the Prescott Brewing Co. More shops line Gurley St. like the Lone Spur Cafe, and several clothing and shoe stores. To the east is Cortez St. Cortez is dominated on one corner by the First Baptist Church and on the other by an old, historic bank which converted into a artsy flea market of sorts called the Prescott Downtown Partnership. Tara Thai looks to open soon in downtown Prescott on Cortez along with a little known secret where Kendall's used to reside, Marino's Mob Burger. Watch this scene from the movie Billy Jack to view downtown Prescott in 1971"
The south block of the plaza is Goodwin Street where the old Post Office still exists and the Chamber of Commerce. The empty lot next door is used for small events from time to time.

Encourage Incompetence and – obviously – discourage competence.
I was in an international group a while ago, formed of all ages and all categories of people. At some point, they decided to sing, one by one. Whoever thought they have a voice, were stating their wish to participate. It is well known that not everyone has a voice or a musical ear, so I heard some horrible noises presented as singing. What I was shocked about was the reaction of many of the people in that group: they were cheering and applauding the ones with bad voices, as if they had angel voices. The worst part came when two or three youngsters decided to try their luck and talent and sang really bad. Besides cheering and applauding, the people I told you about started to encourage the young ones to follow a career in singing, being certain they will have a big success.
I visited a forum on the internet where people were having a drawing contest. Whoever thought they have a talent for drawing were posting their drawings there, waiting for comments. And to my horror, I have noticed, again, the same reaction: the worst of the drawings were getting the most applause and encouragements of following a career in drawing.
And then I wondered: why is this happening? How can a mature person encourage a youngster to follow a path they have no calling to? Isn’t it obvious for them that by doing that, they are massively affecting the youngster’s life? The young one will think: “If the mature ones said I am good at singing, drawing, or anything else, then I should believe them. They are older, hence wiser, so they know better than me what’s good for me, right?” And they would follow that path and fail miserably. Then they will wonder what went wrong? Why did they fail when everyone around them was telling them that they are sooooo talented?
You are recognized and praised as such a supporter and a nice person!
This is the way normal people actually act.
What would happen if you would be honest with a person without a talent and tell him/her that they would actually need to put their efforts into something better and something they are actually good at? This is what an abnormal person would do. You know what the reaction would be? They would hate you instantly because they see themselves differently. They will think you are jealous of their success and you want to kill their creativity and enthusiasm. None of them would think that you actually try to help them. To make them think that maybe the path the others are encouraging them to follow is not their path by far, and they should explore other possibilities as well.
Also, a normal person would discourage the competent ones. I mean, why would you say “Well done” to someone who actually deserve it? What if they would ask something from you in return? Such as a pay raise, for example? Or a promotion, eh?
And, as a normal person, never repay competence with a higher payment or a promotion! NO WAY! If the abnormals agree to work for you for peanuts, why bother change that? It shouldn’t really matter to you that they ARE competent in what they are doing and they have been loyal to you for a long time. You might lose them, but why would you care? The lake is full of fishes, isn’t it?
Next time, I will talk about loyalty … actually about how you, as a normal person, should never EVER be loyal.

Session may be over but constituents are still visiting the Capitol! On Wednesday I was pleased to meet children and staff from KinderCare in Cottage Grove and show them around the Capitol complex.
Also, the end of this week marks our 60th day since the end of the 2018 session. At that point, lawmakers are prohibited from sending out any email updates until November.
That said, I am always available to answer questions or comments. You can reach me at rep.tony.jurgens@house.mn at any time.
The Rivertown Days celebration has begun in Hastings, and I will be around most of the weekend for many of the festivities. Also, this year’s National Night Out is August 7. If your neighborhood is planning a get-together and you’d like me to stop by, please contact my office at 651-296-3135 or send me an email at rep.tony.jurgens@house.mn and I’ll try my best to make it to your event.
Have a great summer, and I look forward to seeing you in the days and weeks ahead!
