I decided a few years ago that there was a need for a new type of record label. I wasn’t sure why or what I thought the music industry needed, but I know everything was changing.
I also happen to be heavily invested in new music and up and coming bands.
This combination led me to the creation of a web design studio for musicians. Musicians tend to have a funky relationship with the web. I’m focused on making the music shine- let the musicians focus on being creative- that’s my motto.

To celebrate Thanksgiving 2017, we reached out to a bunch of our favorite artists and asked them which other acts in the alt music world they are thankful for. We’ve always felt a strong sense of community and charity in our scene, and based on the responses we received, we weren’t wrong.
So, which pop-punk legend loves Frank Turner? And which former AP coverstar is thankful for the time Creeper took him candy shopping? Read on to find out.

Junior coalition partner Most-Híd also voted for the amendment. Its chair Béla Bugár now promises correction.
It seems that the ban on playing or singing the national anthem of another country in Slovakia will not be put into force after all.
After Martin Dubéci from Progressive Slovakia informed the public about the planned change in a status on his Facebook account, the coalition parties have promised to correct the provision.
The law, which is to become effective as of mid-May, was authored by the Slovak National Party (SNS).
The main reason for the SNS proposing such a change were the new ice hockey team's jerseys. Instead of a state symbol, they sport a logo showing ice hockey sticks that are only reminiscent of the state symbol, Dubéci pointed out.
“However, the amendment contained another item that unnecessarily opened up the ethnic card,” he continued.
Being able to sing their national anthem is an important ritual for the Hungarian minority living in Slovakia when they celebrate state holidays or perform religious rituals, according to Dubéci.
“It is an organic part of their culture that we have now drastically interfered with,” he added.
It is also very unfortunate that another ruling party, Most-Híd, allegedly voted for the amendment by mistake, Dubéci wrote.
Béla Bugár, chair of the junior coalition party Most-Híd, admitted that they made a mistake. MPs are now ready to correct it at the May session, the SITA newswire reported.
He reportedly also spoke with President Andrej Kiska, who has promised to veto the change and return the amendment to the parliament, Bugár told the April 5 press conference.
Will the president sign this law?
Parliament approved the amendment in late March.
Chair of Most-Híd’s caucus Tibor Bastrnák meanwhile described the situation as “a series of misunderstandings”.
“Such mistakes can happen, and it happened to us for the first time, for which we apologise,” Bastrnák said, as quoted by the Sme daily.
He allegedly did not notice the change concerning the anthems, and neither did the MPs sitting in the parliamentary committees who approved it, Sme wrote.
Most-Híd also stated on social media that its MPs voted for the amendment by mistake and they would do everything to ensure that “this nonsensical limitation is not put into effect”. They had already informed coalition partners about it.
“It is important to be able to sing the anthem of one's choice,” stressed Most-Híd.
President Andrej Kiska has not signed the change yet. He will comment on it only after he has read it.
Meanwhile, another party representing the Hungarian minority, the non-parliamentary Party of Hungarian Community (SMK), wrote a letter to Kiska, asking him not to sign the law. The party is also calling on Most-Híd MPs to give up their mandates, Sme wrote.
Bugár discussed the amendment with the coalition partners, who have also promised to correct the provision. The law comes into effect on May 15, which means they still have time to solve the problem, he added, as reported by SITA.
Speaker of Parliament and chair of SNS Andrej Danko also confirmed that the coalition will deal with the amendment. At the same time, he rejected the claims that SNS wanted to harm someone with the amendment.
As he specified, the ban to sing the anthems of other countries should be applied only during red-letter and commemorative days, as reported by the TASR newswire.

Hello! Let's start this month with a very colorful wallpaper like this one. I came up with this idea to just scan all my watercolor swatches I had and this was the result. I think it's a clean design yet very vibrant. What do you think?

At a meeting this week of the American Physical Society in Washington, MIT Associate Professor of Physics Bernd Surrow reported on new results from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) that provide a better understanding of the internal structure of the proton, the basic building block of all nuclei.
The world’s only polarized proton collider, at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., RHIC is used by MIT physicists to understand how the proton gets its spin, a fundamental quantum mechanical property (spin manifests itself as an intrinsic magnetic field, a property that is the basis of magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI). In 2009, spin-polarized protons were collided in RHIC at a record high center-of-mass energy of 500 giga electron volts (GeV). At this high energy — an energy 250 times the mass of the two individual protons making the collision — the protons are moving essentially at the speed of light and the quarks inside the proton are able to “see” each other at a resolution that is very small compared to the size of the proton. This allows scientists to study the proton’s internal structure.

Which wolf do you feed the most?
Without anger there is no enemy… When hatred consumes us we perceive enemies everywhere.
Extinction – fear of annihilation, of ceasing to exist…Consider that panicky feeling you get when you look over the edge of a high building.
Mutilation – fear of losing any part of our precious bodily structure; the thought of having our body’s boundaries invaded, or of losing the integrity of any organ, body part, or natural function. For example, anxiety about animals, such as bugs, spiders, snakes, and other creepy things arises from fear of mutilation.
Loss of Autonomy – fear of being immobilized, paralyzed, restricted, enveloped, overwhelmed, entrapped, imprisoned, smothered, or controlled by circumstances. In a physical form, it’s sometimes known as claustrophobia, but it also extends to social interactions and relationships.
Separation – fear of abandonment, rejection, and loss of connectedness – of becoming a non-person – not wanted, respected, or valued by anyone else. The “silent treatment,” when imposed by a group, can have a devastating psychological effect on the targeted person.
Ego-death – fear of humiliation, shame, or any other mechanism of profound self-disapproval that threatens the loss of integrity of the Self; fear of the shattering or disintegration of one’s constructed sense of lovability, capability, and worthiness.
That’s all – just those five.
Think about the various common labels we put on our fears. Start with the easy ones: fear of heights or falling is basically fear of extinction. Fear of failure? Read it as fear of ego-death. Fear of rejection? It’s fear of separation, and probably also fear of ego-death. The terror many people have at the idea of having to speak in public is basically fear of ego-death. Fear of intimacy, or “fear of commitment” is basically fear of losing one’s autonomy.
Some other emotions we know by various popular names are also expressions of these primary fears. If you track them down to their most basic levels, the basic fears show through. Jealousy, for example, is an expression of the fear of separation, or devaluation.
Shame and guilt express the fear – or the actual condition – of separation and even ego-death. The same is true for embarrassment and humiliation.
Fear is often the base emotion on which anger floats. Oppressed peoples rage against their oppressors because they fear – or actually experience – loss of autonomy and even ego-death. The destruction of a culture or a religion by an invading occupier may be experienced as a kind of collective ego-death. Those who make us fearful will also make us angry.

Have you seen this cheeky line of accessories? Some, like 80's cartoon Gem, are truly outrageous! Their over-the-top boldness reminds me of my girlfriend Alexia, who can rock the most ridiculous ensembles and look jaw-dropping fabulous.
I can't see myself wearing all of these items, but I do heart plenty, including their post earrings designed as clip on backs, water gun necklace, parcel bow brooch, and 'Stache ring for starters. Based in the UK, they'll wherever you are.

Movie Clip of "Saving Private Ryan"
Source Rationale: This document is a letter telling the story of Company Commander John Dolan. This letter tells of the experience that John Dolan had on June 6, 1944. This source fits in with our other sources because it gives a first hand account of what happened. This is important so people can understand the horrible events that took place that day. This source points us in the direction of our thesis really well. We found this source using the internet.
The following letter is from John "Red Dog" Dolan, Company Commander of A Company 505 PIR, to General James Gavin. Wriiten in 1959, at the urging of Robert Murphy, the letter provides a very detailed account of A Company's legendary actions at La Fiere Bridge. General Gavin's transmittal letter to famed author Cornelius Ryan is also enclosed.
c/o Arthur D. Little, Inc.
Thank you for your letter of March 10, 1959. It had always been my intention of answering the questionnaire of Cornelius Ryan; but realizing that it would take considerable time to give a detailed and accurate account, I kept putting it aside and then completely forgot about it until Bob Murphy spoke to me about it a few days before receipt of your letter.
I shall try to cover as much detail without making this letter too voluminous, leaving it to your judgment and discretion to delete any portion that you deem unfavorable to the outfit. You may recall that I was in command of Company "A", 505 Parachute Infantry, with the rank of First Lieutenant. The specific mission of the Company "A" was to seize and defend the bridge crossing the Merderet River on the road that ran East to West from Ste. Mere Eglise, with the purpose of preventing the movement of German troops down to the beach-head.
I don’t recall exactly what time the first Battalion jumped but it was between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. on D-Day. We hit our drop zone right on the nose, because within twenty minutes to one-half hour, I knew our exact location. I was able to identify a "T" intersection, dirt roads 8 to 10 feet wide, near our drop zone. The upper arm of which ran generally east to west, the vertical arm running north to south, to meet the road running from Ste. Mere Eglise to our objective, the bridge at the Merderet River.
We had the usual problems of re-organization in the dark; however, about an hour before dawn, Company "A" moved out from the drop zone with about ninety (90) per cent of the men accounted for. (This was not due to luck alone, but to the cooperation of Officers, Non-Coms, and last but not least, training. Men who have to fight in the night should be trained in nighttime fighting, not just taken on a night march and digging foxholes.) We moved along this dirt road which I previously referred to as being the North-South arm of the "T" intersection, and just around here, I ran into Major McGinity. He moved out with us.
The order of march was first, Co. Headquarters, third and second platoons in that order. When we reached the road running East-West from Ste. Mere Eglise, a German motorcycle passed us going toward Ste. Mere Eglise. At this time, it was still dark, but daylight was starting to break. We crossed the road and started west toward the bridge,with a hedge row to our right between us and the road. Just about this time, contact was lost with the first platoon, so the third platoon took the lead.
About seven to eight hundred yards from the bridge, we came upon a dirt road running southeasterly from the road to the bridge. Hedgerows were on either side of this road; and beyond it in the direction of the bridge, was an open, flat field, about 100 yards deep and about 75 yards wide. It was here that I figured the Germans would defend if they intended a defense of the bridge.
I directed Lt. Donald Coxon to send his scouts out. This he did, and he also went out with them. He had plenty of personal courage but he didn’t have the heart to order them out without going with them.
A few moments later, a German machine gun opened up, killing Lt. Coxon and one of his scouts, Fergueson. Their fire was returned; and, with Major McGinity and myself leading, a few men holding and returning frontal fire, the platoon flanked to the left. At the same time, I directed Lt. Presnell to re-cross the road and attack along the northern side down to the bridge. This was done, and the second platoon didn't meet with any fire until they arrived at the bridge.
The third platoon continued its flanking move and cut back in toward the road to the bridge. Because of the fire, we calculated that there was just one machine gun crew that was in our way. It later turned out that there must have been at least a squad dug in at this point, with at least two of them armed with machine pistols. Prisoners captured later, in addition to the German dead, amounted to about the size of one of our platoons. There were no German officers captured. I don’t know whether or not any of their enlisted men escaped.
To continue, we cut back toward the road, travelling in a Northerly direction. Major McGinity was leading and I was about three’ or four paces behind, and slightly to the right. There was a high, thick hedgerow to our left, and it was in here that I figured the machine gun was located.
When we had traveled about two-thirds of the way up the hedgerow, they opened up on us with rifle, and at least two machine pistols. I returned the fire with my Thompson Sub-Machine Gun at a point where I could see leaves in the hedgerow fluttering. Major McGinity was killed instantly. As luck would have it, there was a German foxhole to my left which I jumped into and from where I continued to fire I could only guess where to shoot, but I had to as part of the Third platoon was exposed to their fire. Lt. McLaughlin, the assistant platoon leader was wounded and died later that day. His radio operator was also killed the platoon by now was under fire from two directions, from the point where I was pinned down, and also from the direction of the bridge.
I can’t estimate how long we were pinned down in this fashion, but it was at least an hour. I made several attempts to move, but drew their fire. On my last attempt, I drew no fire. They obviously had pulled out. During all of this time, I could hear rifle and machine gunfire down by the bridge on the north side. This ceased about this time I returned to the rest of the third platoon, instructed the Non-Coms to re-organize and to maintain their present position. I then crossed the road and located the first platoon commanded by Lt. Oakley on the north side. They were moving toward the bridge, so I instructed them to continue and dig in on the right side. I went down to the bridge and found that we had received an assist from some of the 508 Prcht. Infantry about this time, I ran into Col. Eckman, and sent for my third platoon to dig in on the left or south side of the bridge. The first was already digging in on the north side.
I thought that all of the Germans had retreated; but unknown to us, there were about ten or twelve Germans holed up on the second floor of a stucco-type farmhouse. At the time they started firing. Col. Eckman and I were casually looking the situation over. It lasted about twenty minutes with about ten or twelve Germans surrendering. About a squad of men from the 508 made the actual capture.
We dug in, the disposition of my Company as follows: First platoon on the north side of the road, the third on the south and the second in reserve, about 4OO yards back, so that it could also protect the rear.
Major Kellam arrived at the bridge with Capt. Roysden, his S-3. He had most of his C.P. unit with him. I don’t know whether or not a Battalion C.P. had ever been set up as planned, at least, I don’t recall having had any communication with it. Down at the bridge now was most of Company "A", about one platoon or Company "B", a platoon of the Division Engineers (mission to blow the bridge if necessary), about half of Battalion Headquarters Company with mortars awl machine gun sections and several stray men from other regiments. The Company dug in well and quickly. I had just completed my inspection of the forward positions when we knew that an attack was coming. You will recall that in front of our position, west of the Merderet River, was a marsh at least 1000 yards wide at its narrowest point. The road running west from the bridge could better be described as a causeway.
As I recall, the mission of the 508 was to occupy a position beyond this causeway. In addition to the men who assisted us in capturing the bridge at least a company of the 508 passed through our position and moved over the causeway to their objective. They were gone at least an hour when we saw several of them retreating back across the marsh. I remember that we helped several of them out of the river, which was quite shallow.
The machine gun fire from the Germans was very heavy by now. We didn’t return their fire as there were no visible targets and our ammunition supply was limited. They attacked with three tanks, which I was unable to identify for sure; but they appeared to be similar to the German Mark IV type, or maybe a little lighter. The tanks were firing on us with machine guns and cannon.
Just about a half-hour before this attack, a 57MM A. T. gun was assigned to Company "A". I located this gun about 150 yards from the bridge on the road where it curves to the right as you approach the bridge. Incidentally, this was my C.P. and later the Battalion C.P. This gave the gun excellent cover and a good field of fire.
On the bridge I had three bazooka teams. Two of them were from Company "A" and the third was either from "B" or "C" Company. The two Company "A" bazookas were dug in to the left and right of the bridge. Because of the fact that the road itself was the causeway type, they were as of necessity dug in below the level of the road, so that in order to fire, they had to get out of their foxholes. The third bazooka was over more to the south where better cover was available.
To continue, I had just completed my inspection of our defenses and was 40 to 50 yards from the bridge. Major Kellam and Captain Royaden were nearby. The first two tanks were within 15 Qr 20 yards of each other, the third was back about 50 yards. When the lead tank was about 40 or 50 yards away from the bridge, the two Company "A" bazooka teams got up just like clock work to the edge of the road. They were under the heaviest small arms fire from the other side of the causeway, and from the cannon and machine gun fire from the tanks. To this day, I’ll never be able to explain why all four of them were not killed. They fired and reloaded with the precision of well-oiled machinery. Watching them made it hard to believe that this was nothing but a routine drill. I don’t think that either crew wasted a shot. The first tank received several direct hits. The treads were knocked off, and within a matter of minutes it was on fire. Then they went to work on the second tank, and within about 30 seconds, it was on fire. They fired every rocket that they had and then jumped into their foxholes. The 57mm during this time was firing and eventually knocked out the last tank. The gun crew did an excellent job.
My two bazooka crews called for more ammunition. Major Kellam ran up toward the bridge with a bag of rockets followed by Captain Roysden. When they were within 15 or 20 yards of the bridge, the Germans opened up with mortar fire on the bridge. Major Kellam was killed and Captain Roysden was rendered unconscious from the concussion. He died later that day. Both of the bazookas were destroyed by the mortar fire. Lt. Weir (Reg. Hq. Co.) and I carried Captain Roysden back. I then took over command of the battalion, being the senior officer present.
Company "B" was put into reserve in the perimeter of Company "A", so that we had almost a 560 degree perimeter defense. The rest of the day we were under heavy mortar and machine gun fire. The mortar fire was very effective as against the two forward platoons because of tree bursts. It took very little imagination on the part of the Krauts to figure out just where we would be dug in. As I recall, there was less than a seventy-five yard frontage on either side of the bridge from where we could effectively defend, so they could throw their mortar fin in our general direction with good results. During the night, the fire let up, but they started early the next morning and kept it up. My third platoon took the worst beating, as they were in a heavier wooded area, (tree bursts).
The second tank attack came on the afternoon of the second day. I was over on the north side of the bridge with the first platoon. For about an hour before the attack, they increased their mortar fire to the extent that the third platoon was just about knocked out, but not quite. I was not aware of this at the time. In addition to already heavy casualties, Sgt. Monahan, the platoon Sgt. was fatally wounded.
I learned second hand that some other troops had retreated through the third platoon’s position, and then through my C.P. Rumors were around that we were going to give up the bridge. As a result of this, the 57MM A.T. crew took off. I didn’t have an Executive Officer at the time. Earlier that day, he (Tom Furey) was put in command of "C" Company. My First Sergeant was a jump casualty, so my Company Headquarters at the time was non-existent except for runners and radio operators. I can’t recall why, but our radios were not working. The only way that we could communicate was through runners.
The first platoon was under heavy fire also. The platoon leader, Lt. Oakley, who had been doing an excellent job, was fatally wounded, and Sgt. Ricci was leaving the junior squad leader, Sgt. Owens, in command. You will recall that we have had some communication about Sgt. Owens in the past as to his personal courage and the way he commanded the platoon at this most critical time. I recommended Sgt. Owens and my tour bazooka men for the D.S.C. The bazooka men were awarded the D.S.C., but Sgt. Owens was not. This is a story in itself.
The second attack was with two tanks and infantry. I was unable to estimate the size. The tanks stayed out of effective bazooka range. (We had one bazooka left.) Not hearing any fire from the 57MM, I went over to it and found it unmanned. I tried to fire it, but the crew had taken the firing mechanism. I organized five or six men behind the hedge on the southerly side of the road with Gammon grenades, and just about this time, two of the gun crew returned with the firing mechanism. They knocked out the two tanks. They were two youngsters not more than 17 or 18 years old, who returned on their own initiative. I recommended them for Silver Stars.
The rest of our stay at the bridge was uneventful, except for the continued mortar fire, and at the end, artillery fire which damaged the 57MM. Lt. Col. Mark Alexander took over command of the battalion later that day and continued to command it for most of the operation. Without exception, he was the finest battalion commander I ever served under. My second son, Mark Alexander Dolan, was named after him.
In conclusion, we held the bridge until relieved. In Co. "A" alone, in those days (three in all), we had seventeen known dead and about three times that number wounded. The rest of the battalion also had heavy casualties.
I have tried to give you an accurate picture of what happened however, after fifteen years, the foregoing may contain some minor inaccuracies I will be glad to give Mr. Ryan any additional information he may require. You may assure him that I will be happy to cooperate with him in every detail.
P.S. Since writing this Letter, I have read the account by David Howarth in the Saturday Evening Post, and I agree with you that it contains many inaccuracies. You will probably note that some of the events related tie in with what I have told you in this letter.
The most glaring inaccuracy is about the bridge being lost. For the record, this bridge was held by Company "A" from the time of its capture on "D" Day, until we were relieved.
I Just received the attached from Dolan. Frankly, it is the first time that I have ever gotten this much detail out of him. Although I was with him from beginning to end of the War, he was never much for talking about what happened. I hasten to send it off to you because I think that it is quite good. To the host of my knowledge it is accurate in every detail.

While Fashion Week is one of the best times to take note of upcoming trends for the next couple of seasons, it is also a great place to drink up some outfit inspiration. Although you may not be able to purchase all of the runway looks that you fell in love with, there are still ways that you can bring the essence of the runway styles into outfits that you already own. Here are some style hacks that OROGOLD has learned from Fashion Week.
Doubling up on your jackets is is a great way to keep warm during falling temperatures, while looking stylish at the same time. Models walking for J. Crew were sporting two lightweight blazers, one on top of the other, rather than just a single jacket. OROGOLD recommends opting for subtle prints, such as a light striped blazer underneath a light checked blazer.
As OROGOLD mentioned earlier, these hacks are here to help you to make the most out of clothes that you already own, and everybody is bound to own at least one button-down shirt. On the Desigual runway, these shirts were given a new life by being cleverly reworked into an asymmetrical cover-up. The next time you find yourself about to tie a shirt around your waist, try getting more creative and looking for other ways that you can work it into your outfit.
Accessories are a great way to liven up your wardrobe without having to max out your credit cards, and OROGOLD spotted some great ones at Fashion Week. The ones that made an appearance across many catwalks, from Neem Khan to Mara Hoffman, were thick, statement headbands, keeping hair well away from the face. From block colors to bright prints to classic hues, these headbands are totally practical while being a great way to express your personal style.
Layering is something that we all do when we need to stay warm, usually with t-shirts under jumpers under jackets. However, Fashion Week has taught us to open our minds when it comes to layering, with the hack that OROGOLD mentioned above, doubling up on jackets, being a perfect example of this. You may have a dress with a plunging neckline that you don’t often wear out, so try wearing a contemporary shirt underneath, making it much more daytime-friendly. Or, try wearing a mini dress over a midi dress, just as they did on the Hugo Boss runway, for a look that is instantly chic.
Fashion Week is a place where designers express themselves, giving us a peek into their creative minds, while showing us what we can be expecting in the upcoming season. It is also a place where we can get so much inspiration to help our own personal style to evolve, so take a look back at OROGOLD’s Fashion Week hacks the next time you want to add a new dimension to your outfit.

9/6/2013 · The trailing stop loss is meant to capture profit while minimizing loss. A candle can move several pips in your favor only to retreat within the same candle back to a position where you would not realize any of those gains. It would be only because the trailing stop loss 'fires' at the close of a candle.
11/11/2007 · hey there ronyn, from my understanding, stepping is when you say that when the market moves x pips in your favour, you would like the trailing stop moved. so for example, if the market moves 10 pips, the trailing stop will move 10 pips after that has occurred.

Brodie Smith can throw the heck out of a Frisbee. Backwards, forwards, right-side-up or upside-down — he always hits his mark, oftentimes in ridiculous fashion.
Smith posted six-second clips of his best exploits to Vine throughout this year, which is totally righteous. But then he leveled up in awesomeness by compiling his best Frisbee Vines of 2013 in one YouTube video.
The result has been quite popular with online fans of fringe sports, racking up more than 100,000 views since last Thursday. We highly recommend taking a look for yourself; the slick tricks are sure have you saying "Duuuuude" with gusto.

Hello! Is everyone ready for this weeks updates to the πCraft pack?
With sand stone I tried to emulate real sandstone and really break away from how minecraft handled it. I think it turned out nice.
The change to pistons suggested by a fellow minecrafter made a lot of sense making it more simplistic definitely works in the packs kind of homemade charm.
Not pictured above is obsidian, I just made slight changes to fix an issue with seams I noticed.
This week there wasn't too too much in terms of updates, but I do have a few announcements! I will be making the pack public in the next few days so you'll be able to experience it yourself! Do keep in mind this is still a work in progress and it is not 100% complete just yet there is still a lot of work left to do.
Whelp as always any comments or suggestions please throw them my way. God bless. Thank for your time.

Today I was tracking an Etag issue we had where different versions of images uploaded to wordpress had the same etags. I first looked at apache and reconfigured it to serve filesize mtime etags. To no avail.
that way, images of different formats, created at upload time, which share the same mtime on a fast machine still get different etags.
etag-with-filesize.diff (546 bytes) - added by wonderboymusic 6 years ago.
An entity tag MUST be unique across all versions of all entities associated with a particular resource. A given entity tag value MAY be used for entities obtained by requests on different URIs. The use of the same entity tag value in conjunction with entities obtained by requests on different URIs does not imply the equivalence of those entities.
This would be valid only if a single image could be updated in under one second from its previous update or point of creation, thus being a new version of the resource that goes undetected by filemtime(). But there is also no guarantee that such a changed image would have a different size.
This does not seem like something ms-files.php needs to address. Not only is ms-files.php no longer the preferred method of serving files, but this will suddenly invalidate all existing multisite asset caches on upgrade, for apparently no reason. Closing as worksforme pending further feedback.

Taylor then unfortunately revealed that her mom Andrea Swift‘s cancer has returned after she initially battled it back in 2015. Taylor also revealed her dad has battled cancer in the past.
O no! Andrea!! I hope she recovers. She’s so sweet.
That’s horrible. I think ever single person in the world can say cancer has affected their lives in some way and it’s devastating. Hope she recovers.

Viet Nam's industrial production index (IPI) in August grew 7.3% month-on-month and posted a 6.9% rise in the first eight months of 2016.
The municipal Department of Transport on Tuesday officially opened the Tan Son Nhat – Binh Loi – Vanh Dai Ngoai (Outer Belt) route connecting Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Tan Binh District with Go Vap, Binh Thanh, and Thu Duc districts in the southern hub. According to Bui Xuan Cuong, director of the Department of Transport, the route includes the newly constructed Pham Van Dong Street and the expanded sections of Bach Dang and Hong Ha roads.
Viet Nam's industrial production index (IPI) in August grew 7.3% month-on-month and posted a 6.9% rise in the first eight months of 2016. This is lower than the 9.8% rate recorded in the same period last year due to a continuous downturn of production in the mining, processing and manufacturing industries.
While the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement will be ratified by the Vietnamese legislature in 2016, the agreement ratification process is not going smoothly in the US as the two US presidential candidates do not support the agreement. In the latest news, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) late last week reported that the US Congress may not to bring TPP for a vote in the last months of the US President Obama’s tenure.
The Saigon Silicon Park JSC officially began construction of the Saigon Silicon City Center at the Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP) in HCMC’s District 9 on August 30. The Saigon Silicon City Center is a component of the Saigon Silicon City Construction and Development project (Saigon Silicon City) at SHTP. The project is being built based on the US’s Silicon Valley Technology Center.
In the first eight months of the year, Vietnam recorded a surplus of USD 2.45 billion, with exports and imports respectively valued at USD 112.19 billion and USD 109.74 billion. At USD 24.6 billion, the United States remained the largest buyer of Vietnamese goods during the said period, up 13% over the same period last year and accounting for more than one fifth of Vietnam’s total exports. The European Union and China came in second and third, with USD 21.9 billion and USD 12.6 billion respectively.
The CPI increased just 0.1% in August compared to July though one good in the CPI basket rose 6.18%, according to the General Statistics Office. Consumption demand in August was not high and storms during the month. August is lunar July, a period in which Vietnamese avoid spending money and building houses while companies prefer not to introduce new products.

One of the many skills I want my children to learn which is essential in life is social interaction.
In today’s high tech world, face-to-face interaction has become a rare commodity. Youngsters now know only how to interact via the Internet (FB, chatting, Skype, etc).
But when it comes to face-to-face communication, they are stuck. They are lost for words.
Some of them can’t even speak one complete sentence, let alone express themselves properly.
One of the ways for the child to learn about human relationships is to simply let him mingle with REAL humans – not via tech gadgets.
Let him play REAL games, not online games or computer games.
Let him do REAL activities such as hiking, not having a virtual tour to Second Life.
So that the child can relate, respect, compromise, empathize, negotiate, discuss, brainstorm, or even influence people. Having a child who lives in his own world without connecting with the rest of the world is very dangerous… because no man is an island and we are all connected.
Human relationship is one of the skills I definitely want my children to learn.
Besides this one, there are 8 other essential skills.
Anyway, after long anticipation, the book will be launched this Thursday.

So how do you know if you've had any missed calls? Does it say something when you open the phone up?
Also, do you or anyone else knows, can u sync the calendar with microsoft outlook?
I have just recently bought 2 E720's. While 1 is working fine for all the audio files, 1 is not. I have the normal mmf files playing really well on one phone but not on the other. Has anyone experienced this problem?
You cannot get predicitve text to stay put it will always reset. It seems pot luck whether you get a phone which is set to t9 or ab.
Can i ask, when u use self-shot on this hp, the external LCD izzit black & white as E700A..? Or for E720A, the external LCD will be coloured when using self-shot..
hello,l sorry bit confused, but how do i get it to stay in t9 mode when writing a text, as it always goes back to non predicitve text- and its annoying!!! other than that i love this phone !
Has anyone used bluetooth headset with the phone? I can't believe if no one is using bluetooth headset with the phone.
Please answer, does the headset rings as well when you get an incoming call?
Has anyone tried using the Jabra BT250v with the E720, also the Sony Ericsson Akono HBH-300 and HBH-662?
do the lights ring when u recieve a call or txt message on the samsung e720?
To upload MP3's to your E720 you need a datacable or a Bluetooth dongle.
A datacable is a bit faster, but a Bluetooth dongle is universal. Meaning you can use it for more than just your E720.
The software can be downloaded from the Samsung website, called the PIM and Filemanager.
Hey I just ordered mine and was wondering on how to put my music on there. Would I need a data cable or something like that. Would I also need a software cd.
finally got this phone today and I'm blown away with the quality of it. The screen resolution is FAR superior to anything else on the market. The only thing I don't like about samsung phones is that you need to open a little cover to charge it. same with the other samsungs I've had. However its a small price to pay for the quality of this phone. Forget about what people say about the "muffled" sound. I've had NO problems like that at all.
@dude : out already, US$385 with one yr wrrty.
Has anyone tried using the E720 with the Jabra BT250v bluetooth headset? Also the Akono HBH-65?
Does the headset "ring" also when an incoming call is received?
Since it does not have the vibrate and ring option, I think the headset "ringing" when the phone rings is an important feature no?
Just wonderin, how much does the Samsung e720 cost?

Valentine's Day may be one of the sweetest days of the year, but parents shouldn't feel pressured to fuel another holiday-inspired sugar rush. Celebrate the true message of Valentine's Day with these green gifts for kids, none of which are edible. Just because they aren't covered in vegan frosting or sprinkles doesn't mean your kids won't love them. Several of them are handmade and all are eco-friendly. Sounds like a lovely Valentine for our planet as well! Read on for 7 non-edible eco Valentine gifts for your tot (or any of the little loves in your life)!
Show me a kid who doesn’t love bubbles. They’re fun and inexpensive (and can be made at home if you prefer). Add a label on top of the bottle or wrap a homemade Valentine’s Day greeting around the bottle for a personalized touch.
Let a small child know that they “color your world” with these recycled crayons from Ivy Lane Designs. Or pass along this fun Valentine’s Day treat to their chums at school: give classmates a small package of crayons or purchase a bunch of recycled crayons and parcel them out on the special day. There are a variety of shapes and sizes, including, of course, hearts!
Tiny tykes might not grasp the message of Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean they should miss out on the fun. Baby Lit’s series are cheeky, fun takes on classic love stories and offer lessons such as counting (Pride and Prejudice or Romeo and Juliet), weather (Wuthering Heights) and opposites (Sense and Sensibility). For slightly older kids, this favorite book series features a Valentine’s version.
And, unsurprisingly, we have plenty of recommendations for the whole family for books with an eco-friendly message.
Kids can be overwhelmed occasionally with what to create when faced with endless art supplies. Help them focus with a themed craft kit, perhaps in a repurposed shoebox or other recycled container. If you are choosing a Valentine’s Day theme, pick sequins, crepe and construction paper, eco felt, and other materials in pink, white, and red. One of my favorite parts about this gift is that you may be able to just cull the materials from the art supplies you already have. Creating homemade Valentines or even homemade jewelry from the kit is a memorable and fun experience for little ones of all ages.
For organic Valentine’s Day duds from a super-cute “Owl Love You” shirt to red and white striped leggings to this vibrant typewriter dress to a simple but adorable heart onesie, head on over for some unique organic gifts that will help your kiddos wear their hearts on their sleeves. So many of these organic offerings can be worn year-round, which means you won’t be wasting your green on buying them for just one day of wear.
We’ve mentioned the power (and fun) of experiential presents. And honestly, between school, playdates, after-school activities, and weekend commitments, most kids would love some uninterrupted time with you, especially if it means you get to relax and be silly. These dates will potentially look very different for each child: for little ones obsessed with public transportation, a date might be as simple as taking a ride on the subway or bus. When my son was two, an ideal date for him was sitting at one of the outdoor trolley stations and watching trolleys come and go for hours. For another child, perhaps going to a children’s theatre performance or going to a paint-your-own pottery studio would be the ideal time together. And, of course, a hike or some time outdoors with your little one can reap major rewards for all of you!

On behalf of Britton Law, P.A. posted in Buying & Selling Businesses on Thursday, October 25, 2018.
A North Carolina business owner may be looking to sell their company to obtain financial independence or meet other goals. To make it easier to sell a business in a timely manner, it's important to have a great operations manual. When buyers know that an organization is well run regardless of who owns it, there will usually be more desire to acquire it.
On behalf of Britton Law, P.A. posted in Buying & Selling Businesses on Thursday, October 18, 2018.
When North Carolina companies consider how to boost their profitability and scope, mergers and acquisitions may be some of the most effective methods. There are a number of tax incentives that support businesses growing technologically, and acquiring another company in the field can help one company develop greater market share and valuable intellectual property. In order to go through the process successfully, it is important for owners and executives to consider their steps and plan to achieve their goals through every step of the planned acquisition.
On behalf of Britton Law, P.A. posted in commercial truck accidents on Tuesday, October 16, 2018.
The instinct to check a smartphone when a notification pops up can be difficult for drivers. Looking at a phone screen while behind the wheel is responsible for thousands of accidents in North Carolina and the rest of the country. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, distracted driving caused approximately 3,000 deaths in 2016 alone. This is a particularly big problem for the trucking industry due to exacerbating factors like long hours on the road and hazardous road conditions.
On behalf of Britton Law, P.A. posted in Buying & Selling Businesses on Friday, October 12, 2018.
Many business owners in North Carolina have worked for a long time to build their organizations. At some point, however, these entrepreneurs may decide that it is time to sell their businesses and move on to conventional employment, a new venture or retirement.
On behalf of Britton Law, P.A. posted in commercial truck accidents on Monday, October 8, 2018.
Truckers and fleet owners in North Carolina should take note of the 2017 crash data that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has compiled from its Fatality Analysis Reporting System. Though vehicle crash fatalities went down in all areas, large truck traffic fatalities did not. The following are just a few of the numbers that NHTSA released.
On behalf of Britton Law, P.A. posted in commercial truck accidents on Friday, October 5, 2018.
North Carolina residents encounter more than their fair share of large trucks on the roads, so they should keep the following tips in mind if they want to drive safely around them. The first thing to remember is to never take chances. When trucks move into drivers' lanes, the drivers should never speed up and cut in front of the truck.
On behalf of Britton Law, P.A. posted in Buying & Selling Businesses on Thursday, October 4, 2018.
Business owners in North Carolina have an important decision to make when it comes time to retire. They could choose to sell the company to a competitor or to their employees. They could also choose to leave it to family members or simply shut the company down. There are many factors that will go into that decision such as how a sale or closure could impact employees or the community in which the company operates.

From Reeves on Facebook. Photo by Kan Lailey. A new look for Reeves? :) And another shot on Instagram.
From Carlos: "I need help from fans of The Cure. I'm trying to get Just Like Heaven song to become the official anthem of the exhibition Pop idols in my city, Valencia (Spain), to achieve this I have to add more LIKES than Depeche Mode, Nirvana, and Soft Cell, if you want to participate in the election opens the link I put at the end, after the publication of the video search called THE CURE - JUST LIKE HEAVEN, and click LIKE."
Well done! The Cure have taken the lead, but it's still very close. If you haven't clicked LIKE yet, make sure you do before tomorrow.
"I find your lack of 'Faith' disturbing"

Each chapter of bankruptcy has certain criteria that must be met in order to file. Some of our clients qualify for more than one chapter. We always perform a thorough analysis of our clients’ circumstances to determine which path they qualify for and which chapter is best. We also use our experience as bankruptcy attorneys to identify alternatives to bankruptcy because bankruptcy should always be a last resort. You may have trusted family members and friends to discuss your options with but there is no substitute for discussing your legal options with an experienced attorney.
If you are eligible for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we will offer clear and candid advice for preparing for and completing the process. We will explain the criteria and if necessary, work to help you meet them. To arrange an appointment with our Los Angeles bankruptcy attorneys, call (310) 620-1008 or toll free (877) 716-7285.
Is Chapter 13 Reorganization Right for You?
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your debts will be consolidated and reorganized into a repayment plan of three to five years. As we help you refine a repayment plan, we will work to achieve the lowest payments allowed by law on all applicable debts. Our attorneys will use their decades of experience and extensive resources to get a plan approved that helps you maintain your quality of life, retain your assets and move towards long-term financial health.
Because every situation is different and the amount of secured and unsecured debt you have will greatly influence which chapter you are eligible for, contact us for the answers and the guidance you need.

EMORY, Va. | You can take the interim tag from Anne Crutchfield's title, and cross it out with a blue and gold marker. Emory & Henry College made it official on Wednesday, naming Crutchfield director of athletics.
Crutchfield just completed her fifth year as the head women's basketball coach, while serving the past two seasons as the interim director of athletics. A 1989 graduate of E&H, Crutchfield returned to her alma mater in 2014 after spending the previous eight years as the head girls' basketball coach at Franklin County High School.
"I would like to thank our president, Jake Schrum and provost, Dr. John Wells for this opportunity," said Crutchfield. "The dedication of our coaching staff and support of our alumni is beyond compare. This is an exciting time for Emory & Henry College and I feel tremendously blessed to be able to serve in this role. I look forward to the growth of our department and the continued success of our programs."
Replacing Crutchfield on the bench will be Jaclyn Dickens who completed her fourth year on the women's basketball staff, and her first year as the associate head coach. A 1999 graduate of the College, Dickens returned to E&H with nearly 15 years of coaching experience at both the college and high school levels including eight years as the head women's basketball coach at Virginia Intermont College.
"I am beyond grateful to be chosen as the next head women's basketball coach at my alma mater," said Dickens. "I hope to continue with the success and culture that Anne has developed over the past few years. The expectations are now high, and we want to maintain those standards."
Dickens got her start in coaching at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. She started the girls' basketball program at Oak Hill and spent four seasons as head coach.
"Jaclyn has been instrumental to the success of our team over the last four years," added Crutchfield. "She is a proven recruiter and an excellent student of the game. Given Jaclyn's experience, her love for Emory & Henry College and her commitment to our Women's Basketball family, she is the perfect choice to lead this group of amazing young ladies."
Current assistant women's basketball coach Robert Yonce will remain on staff.

In 2009 entrepreneur Laurence Kemball-Cook had a vision to find a way of building a smarter and more sustainable environment which could empower and connect people. With the pressures of climate change and rapidly expanding cities, society currently faces complex environmental and social challenges.
This was why Kemball-Cook decided to develop Pavegen, a technology that enables people to directly engage with clean energy, to increase their understanding of sustainability and build purposeful connections with brands.
Pavegen creates flooring that harvests the kinetic energy of people’s footsteps as they walk over it and this then generates electricity. This tile technology is combined with a back-end system that stores and manages the renewable energy.
Kemball-Cook knew that in order to provoke change, people’s behaviour needed to change and technology alone is not enough to make cities perform better. This is why Pavegen’s concept is so effective, because it combines physical interactivity and rich data to help bring smart cities to life.
So how does it all work? As people step on the tiles, their weight causes electromagnetic induction generators to vertically displace and this results in a rotary motion that generates off-grid electricity. If this isn’t impressive enough, each tile is also equipped with a wireless API that transmits real-time movement data analytics, whilst directly producing power when and where it is needed. With the supporting abilities of today’s smart technology, Pavegen is also able to connect to a range of mobile devices and building management systems.
In 2016 the company launched a sleeker version of its tile that is more efficient in terms of product costs and energy output.
Pavegen continues to strive to become a permanent and commercial smart-flooring solution evolving from just one energy generating tile to an entire array with three multi-functional component parts; data, floor and energy.
Pavegen’s innovative process of creating flooring that harvests kinetic energy from people’s footsteps is considered as Research and Development. As a result the company is eligible for a significant rebate on its R&D expenditure. The available tax relief on R&D activities is very generous and should be utilised, to find out more contact a Swanson Reed R&D specialist today.

What is it about stairs that some dogs just can't figure out? Dog are pretty intelligent creatures, but sometimes, when there is a staircase involved, it seems like they forget how to even walk. The dogs in these hilarious clips have found pretty, er, let's say "unique" ways of going up and down the stairs - or, in some cases, avoiding them completely.

Perfectionist, mess-maker and dreamer by nature, Liz is inpired by the process of creating. Experimenting, opening to the flow and finding the beauty in imperfection are the driving forces in her work. She believes that wild and wonderful things happen when you surrender and allow the natural unfolding that enlivens the process of making.
Originally from a tiny town in the Conneticut River Valley, Liz received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. While in school, she was awarded a thesis year of independent study and living in Rome as part of RISD's Honors program, an experience that continues to inform her life and work. She came to styling after working at Martha Stewart where she discovered her love of hunting for props and making pictures. Since that time she has styled photographs, made custom set pieces and developed crafts, content, and photographic direction for clients including Target, Macy's, Kate Spade, CB2, Real Simple, Martha Stewart, Cartier, Schumacher, and Domino. She strives to bring a fresh perspective along with thoughtfulness and play to the projects and images she creates.

I am a bit of a magazine hoarder, as I may have mentioned before. I come by it honestly, though. My mother has a lot of decorating magazines. I'd estimate how many, but she'd kill me. I will say that we once tried to convince her to just get rid of the ones from before the millennium. No dice.
We've been going back and forth on what to use for our countertops. We are going to have a walnut island with black marble, and then white cabinets along either side-- but what to use on the countertops? We didn't want laminate. Q didn't want butcher block. Definitely not cement or stainless steel. Neither of us like granite. (I know, I know, but we don't.) For a while we thought white caesarstone, i.e. quartz, but it's just as expensive as marble or granite-- and if we're going to pay for stone, I want stone. Like, just chipped it out of the ground and threw it up on the counter stone. So, then I thought of Carrara marble, which is white with grey streaks. I was just a little concerned that it might look a little weird to have black marble with white streaks, next to white marble with black streaks. Then I found this photo last night, and I went -- yes!!-- that's it! It will work! Our kitchen will be more contemporary than this, but the colour palette is very similar. Even our backsplash will be similar-- white subway tile with a few rows of carrara marble mosaic tiles interspersed.
So there you go. Magazine hoarding is useful. That's the lesson here, right?

If March break is a jigsaw puzzle to be assembled, the pieces look like this: bread to bake, recipes to try, play dates on the calendar, baby animals in a barn, maple tapping, smoothies, reptiles, tea parties, nail polish, walks, the Garlic King, and maybe some random corner pieces with glitter on them. We'll figure out where they go along the way. It's really more about time spent together than it is about the final picture, right? We're starting off with good intentions.
Hailey and Robin are working towards becoming accredited babysitters one day. They can hold a baby's soother in, make him giggle, pat his head gently and alert the authorities when he cries. In all seriousness, it is so heart-warming to see them act so maternally and gently with baby W. They transform from tornado-ing balls of high-kicking energy to baby whisperers. True, they have a little sister, but she is more of an up-and-coming prospect in this game. The baby? He poses no threat, and so Hailey and Robin are lured in by his cuteness.
The weather is playing games with my heart (hey-o BSB reference), as it usually does in March: It warms up, I dream of gardening, and then a snowfall. I put the girls in rain boots to allow for prime splashing, then deal with soaking wet snow pants afterwards. That just means we get to really fly by the seat of our pants and plan our days according to what the weather forecast reads that day.
Enjoy spring break-- I am totally going to soak it up, literally and figuratively.

Sugar and starches (rice potatoes) are the foods that stores insulin to the most in the body. Insulin the main fat storage hormone in the body. When the insulin storage is stopped, the fat easily comes down and body starts burning fats instead of carbs. Lowering down insulin helps the kidneys to shed water from the body out.
This way unnecessary water weight comes out from the body. By eating this way you can lose upto 10 pounds or more of fat and water weight from the body in the first week of this eating habit.
Fats can be both good and bad depending upon your choice of intake. Saturated fats can bring up your waist size while increased input of unsaturated fat can help to reduce your abs size. Saturated fats like baked foods and read meat are a much no path for you.
However, unsaturated fats activate the energy that trim down fat accumulation and enhance your insulin metabolism. So three walnuts around 13 grams each ounce is the perfect daily habit for your weight loss.
Green tea is a definite and natural weight loss solution. Having 4-5 cups of coffee in a daily no doubt enhances taste but add on to your belly fat also. Instead, having daily habit of 4-5 cups of green tea consumption combined with 30-minute exercise session helps you lose 2 pounds in a week.
Green-Tea contains chemical compound called catechins that blast the fat cells especially from belly which makes it waste friendly. This further speed ups in burning liver fat.
Pepper is an effective fat blasting compound. Peppercontains the abilities to decrease the formulation of new fat cells and existent fat storage. Sprinkle some amount of pepper on your meal and you will see the results of decrease in body fat and waist size.
You can use Piperine a powerful category in black pepper to get effective upshots. More pepper and weight loss. But make sure to have it according to your taste and appetite.
For weight reduction burning fats and calories through physical activity is the most essential daily habit. Any physical activity even long walk can work. It’s important to burn calories that you are eating else you can’t lose weight. If you can’t exercise then walk but not just walking around shops.
You have to do brisk walk, running, jogging, swimming, gym work out which so ever you feel comfortable. You should be sweating. You should feel hard to breathe. Start with 5 mins, 10 mins and go on increasing till your body picks up the routine.
Do the exercise effortlessly at threshold till it becomes a habit. You will see the craved results eventually. Even 10 minutes of cardio workout or yoga gets your body moving which will reap you the benefits and powering metabolism. More determination more leads.
Draw a habit of eating lots of vegetables rather than lots of carbs. When you are eating vegetables replace white rice with brown rice and wheat bread with white bread.
This will surely help if you want to lose weight quickly. Even try to cut down white bread from your meal to see the difference. For this replacement add oatmeal in your diet for fruitful outcome.
A weight loss secret or mantra is don’t sit all the time, eat less and move more. On the move here doesn’t mean workouts walking, exercise or gyming. But embracing a habit of not sitting all the day at one place.
You can initiate with talking stairs instead of lifts, small sit stand movements to switch things up and burn down your calories at the maximum. This imparts activeness in your physique certainly.
This one is the great weight loss habit to sweep up. Drink a glass of warm water mixed with a spoon of honey and half size lemon squeezed in the morning empty stomach.
Drinking enough water has proven a weight loss curative to many. People who drink eight to nine glasses of water a day drop down weight faster than less water drinking counterparts.
Regular intake of this much quantity of water reaps the benefits of healthy digestion and controls your calorie accession.
Hit a rule to eat a plate of salad daily like apples, berry, grapes, cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, oranges, peaches etc. You should make compulsion that your meal isn’t over until you finish the plate.
The salads are healthy intake which makes your stomach full replacing hunger for high calorie foods. Thus making a space for weight loss.
Taking proper sleep is much essential for body fitness. Sleep balances hormones in the body which control the hunger in the body. Improper sleep leads to lack of energy and fatigue making it hard for the body to concentrate on staying healthy throughout the day.
Also, the brain has to struggle with false hunger signals at times. To remain fresh and adhere to the morning body work out, sleep is the central important part of your weight loss transition. Make certain to take a healthy 7-8 hours of sleep at night.
Prefer nutritional and low-calorie foods like sprouts, Dalia, chapati boiled potatoes. Avoid rich calorie and mouth-watering foods like potato, rice, butter cheese, chocolate pastries aerated drinks (cold drinks) , potatoes chips, mangoes, banana etc. Add soups in your diet with some spices if you feel fed up or weary .
This is a fact that we can’t resist the temptation to yummy and tasty dishes . But they add only calories and weight gain. Also, delicious foods satisfy our tongue only and spoil weight loss goal.
Generate a willpower and restriction by just focusing on your goal of losing weight. Treat high-calorie food as diamonds that you can’t buy every day. You are not allowed to eat junk foods and rich calorie foods. It doesn’t mean you should do starving but stick to low-fat foods.
Fix up dinner less in size as compared to lunch. Because few hours after dinner, the body is going to take rest adding weight depending on food intake. However, after lunch session body takes movement small or big.
By abiding daily weight loss rules you can also give a treat to yourself once in a week. But only if you continue burning calories and no exercise skipping. This will surely boost your motivation and will serve as a reward for your sweat and hard work.

THE words are still ringing in Greg Daniel’s ears from 2008, the year his social media intelligence company SR7 was born.
“When we started the business, I told a pretty well-known non-executive director that I was starting a social media intelligence business. He looked at me, didn’t say anything for a while, but finally said: ‘Social media intelligence. Isn’t that an oxymoron?’ ’’ Daniel says with a wide smile.
When Daniel — also a former director of Tourism Australia and British American Tobacco — ended his 10-year association with marketing and advertising giant Clemenger BBDO to set up SR7, the number of times the term “social media risk” was retrieved on a Google search was so low it didn’t even show up. Now the term is Googled 15,000 times a month.
SR7 is now a part of KPMG after it was swallowed by the accounting giant earlier this year, consummating a two-year alliance between the two groups. It is now working in all of the firm’s capabilities.
Over six years SR7 has quadrupled in size. And social media risk has become the new buzzword for corporate Australia and the accounting profession.
In May Deloitte teamed up with a Silicon Valley company that analyses more than half of all mobile data traffic in the US to bolster its Australian data analytics capabilities. PwC and EY have also been buying up digital assets. Within corporates, social media is no longer simply the domain of the marketing department. And directors on big boards are putting their management teams through the hoops, demanding to know their strategic response to the phenomenon that has changed the world.
No one forgets the experience of Myer chairman Paul McClintock and his chief executive Bernie Brookes last year and the war waged against them on social media after Brooke’s now infamous comment about the funding of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
“What we have seen over the past year is a greatly heightened interest from boards in the whole area of social media risk. Board members have seen enough incidents where adverse events on social media have affected share prices, reputations of companies and they have become very alert to that risk,” Daniel says.
In many firms, social media is now firmly the responsibility of the chief risk officer or the corporate affairs director.
Even chief executives themselves are recognising they need to get with the times.
Last November Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce made his first foray into the world of social media by joining the LinkedIn Influencer program.
The invite-only program requires the “Influencers” to write regular blog posts that are then distributed to LinkedIn’s 259 million users worldwide. He joined ANZ chief executive Mike Smith, Freelancer chief executive Matt Barrie, Red Balloon founder Naomi Simson and Entreprenaissance Movement founder Creel Price who were Australian pioneers of the venture.
“With social media the opportunity is to have a more direct, deeper and authentic relationship with our most important audiences including customers, staff, investors and other stakeholders. Ultimately that’s a prize that’s worth having in terms of customer satisfaction, corporate reputation, attracting and retaining talent, gaining market share and reducing the cost of doing business,” he wrote.
In PwC’s 17th annual CEO survey earlier this year, 91 per cent of Australian chief executives believe technology is the biggest transforming trend for business.
But ask Daniel whether the nation’s top chief executives need to get themselves on to Twitter, Facebook or other social networks in a hurry, his response is surprisingly contrarian.
“I wouldn’t recommend a number of CEOs run off and start using Twitter and get on Facebook. I think it is unnecessary. But I think they are aware enough to know their organisations need to be on social media. It would certainly be helpful if they had some working knowledge of how the platforms are used by the various stakeholder groups,” he says.
Yet Daniel is alive to the opportunity for organisations to improve their bottom line by making better use of social media intelligence and platforms in their business.
A study commissioned by global tech giant Google released last week found better use of collaborative technology in business — especially social media tools — had the potential to generate almost $10 billion in additional value to Australian business every year.
The Collaborative Economy report released by Deloitte Access Economics said $46bn a year could be the value of faster growing, profitable businesses that had collaboration at their core.
Daniel says SR7’s eight full-time staff and more than 25 contractors are helping companies make the best use of data as both a preventive and proactive tool.
“Over the years we have attained some valuable IT that helps our analysts see through the strings of a few noisy people. And decide whether an issue is building enough momentum both in volume and the vehemence of the comments. This is not just about numbers. It is an analyst-driven business,” he says.
SR7’s client base is skewed towards larger companies and government institutions, working in the resources, financial services, and fast-moving consumer-goods sectors.
For government clients with large projects that require an understanding of the community’s reaction to development proposals, SR7 provides the client with what Daniel says is “coal face information” to let them know what the citizens are really saying, allowing them to better engage, shape their messaging and improve transparency.
“Where we help corporate affairs departments quite significantly is by giving them the firepower to have instant, real-time knowledge of what people are saying about their brands and issues that affect their organisations. Most corporate affairs departments simply don’t have the resources necessary to do that,” Daniel says.
The benefits of proactive social media policies are being shown by innovative companies like Domino’s Pizza.
Chief executive Don Meij recently revealed the company had spent $5 million developing a product allowing customers to build, brand and sell their own pizzas through social media.
The ASX as well as regulatory agencies such as the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission have also set up internal working groups to look at how they can better use social media to communicate with investors and the broader public.
Daniel says it is inevitable that these agencies will increasingly turn to social media as a communication tool.
But for the time being, he says it will not replace the traditional methods of dialogue.
“It is a question of the tipping point — when will you get people that have only ever known this technology sitting in positions of power within those organisations?” he says.

If you’ve spent any time in the new Showroom, chances are you’ve noticed the new signs that hang above the doorways of each room, helping volunteers and clients as they make their way through the different rooms – Beds, Dressers, Linens, Lamps, Appliances, and more. These signs are the handiwork of volunteer Karen Naka.
In addition to the client work, Karen makes a unique contribution to Household Goods by sharing her talents in decorating and quilting. In addition to the room identification signs, Karen created a quilt showcasing the new Household Goods logo. This beautiful piece hangs on the wall right where clients enter the building. She also made the giant quilted pieces hanging on the wall at the Volunteer entrance that will be used for storing volunteer name tags.

Our recreation takes multiple round-robin samples of the original hardware sounds, plus four little extras which we found living in the sample memory of the four user pads of the machine we scooped up from a studio sale. (We’re not going to tell you what they are.) It also brings our usual degree of user control to the panning and levels of the kit pieces, and allows velocity to control level if you’d prefer that – much more of a ‘humanising’ effect than the original Casio was capable of!
The standout sounds are, to our ears, the kick and snare. They’re tight (because of that limited sampling memory!), very punchy, and very gritty, the snare especially. They’re brimful of Asha – I mean, attitude, with a crispy crunchy vibe that pushes them right to the front of the mix. There’s also a nice surprise with the ride cymbal sound, which is often a drum machine weak spot, but on the RZ-1 is a neat little ting that works particularly well in busy patterns. You also get three toms (very 80s!), a crash (a bit short to be useful as a crash, but not bad as a kind of splash or China cymbal), open and closed hats, a cowbell and a rimshot to play with. All in all, there’s enough variety in the sounds to get quite complex rhythms going in short order, and enough punch to make sure the backbeat of those rhythms is right in your face. For a big grey slab of 80s sampling, reach for the RZ-1!
If you grew up listening to pop, hip-hop, or dance music in the 1980s, you’ll be all too familiar with the drum sounds of the RZ1. Now that there seems to be an 80s revival in music and fashion (my wait is finally over!) this drum machine seems relative once again. The high quality of the samples and the built-in effects of this Kontakt unit are truly professional in their sound, and I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
This drum machine has grunt – even the lamest beat can turn pretty nasty in its hands. The clean samples are great – real eighties flat charm. But tweak the drive, the bit reduction, tube and compression and it all goes horribly (actually beautifully) wrong. Life in the down-sampled lane! Its the basis for a thousand eighties hip hop tracks – with a great kick and punchy hi hats. Hard to go by when you need the bit reduced eighties sound….

These pillows are filled with 30% Down and 70% Feathers, we use smaller feathers than in the 10%/90%blend, and a higher percentage of pure down, giving the pillows a smoother feel. The cover is a 200 thread count, white down proof ticking. Well filled.
These Down and Feather pillows are filled with the same small white feathers as in the 50/50 blend, to minimize the feel of the feather stems, and mix with the down, to a ratio of 30% Down and 70% Feathers. The cover is the same as in the 50/50… A quality 200 thread count, white, down proof ticking, 100% cotton and noiseless ( will not make “crackling” sounds ) and the pillows are well filled.

If you’re anything like me, “Robotics” is a pretty intimidating term. Most people glaze over when they hear it (I will not lie, that had been me a few times). In the greater Penn High School community, there is a portion of students that work in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) field. Within this, there is another tight-knit group: Robotics.
What is Robotics? Who are they? Most students graduate from Penn completely unaware of what they are. Is it a club? Is it a class? No one really knows (plot twist, it’s both). As someone who didn’t spend my childhood in the lab soldering or having mad scientist parents, I was sure I wasn’t bred for the group. Robotics was a daunting term. From my perspective, they were a group of young tech prodigies who just got together in the back of the school tinkering and building robots for… well who knows what really. In a lot of ways I wasn’t wrong, but it’s actually so much more.
Here’s the basics: Robotics is a class that meets for one block during the school day. There is no prerequisite to join, everyone is welcome. In fact newbies are encouraged to come! Even if you know nothing, like me. But, Robotics is also a club. Because Robotics does so much (not just building the ‘bot’, but also fundraising, meeting, and creating business contacts) Robotics is a mixture of business, engineering, manufacturing, computer science…this list goes on. It is not just the nerdy stuff you think.
Because students put in so much work, not only in class, but outside of class as well, they earn extra credits. Which means they are registered for two classes! Robotics is no group for faint of heart. They meet before and after school multiple days a week, and when the season starts up it becomes a full time job.
The brave would call it just as intense as a varsity sport, and the courageous would say it is more so. Just like any other sport, Robotics has an intense build season. Although it is short, only six weeks, it is extremely busy.
Hosting Districts is a big deal, and a huge honor. Districts will be the first round of competitions that will end at Worlds, which is hosted in St. Louis this year. Teams from the Michiana Area will come together to compete with robots, they too, have been working hard on. Of the 40 teams coming to compete, only a few will move on to the next round of competition. Penn hopes to lead the way among the local teams.
What is even more impressive than hosting Districts is the fact that our team is playing a major part. The community is helping along with our students and teammates. Although, for the most part, Districts will be planned, organized, ran, and hosted by the youth of Team 135. Penn Robotics have proven on every occasion to be responsible and mature enough to feat such a task, which is why it has been left in their hands.
This event will create lots of publicity for the Penn Robotics Program as well as the greater group of FIRST, in the local community. We hope to spread enthusiasm for STEM at the local level and show them what the brilliant minds of Penn High School, as well as the other schools, have to offer. Throughout Districts, and the process leading up until then, we want to spread the message of Penn Robotics and FIRST.
There is still very much that is unknown about what Districts will be like this year. We do know that is will be on March 11th and 12th at Penn High School in Mishawaka IN. But for the unknown, one thing is for sure; there are bound to be plenty of surprises!

BLUE Sky Alternative Access Fund (ASX: BAF) has raised $47 million through an ASX share offer, the company announced today.
The capital was raised through existing investors and a shortfall offer to new investors, opened on 10 November, that was heavily oversubscribed.
Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund director Andrew Champion (pictured) says the strong support for the raise was due to a growing awareness around the benefits of alternatives as well as the unique nature of the fund's product offering.
"Financial planners nationally are increasingly looking for attractive opportunities to diversify their client's portfolios into alternative asset classes," says Champion.
"The Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund is Australia's only LIC that allows investors to make a strategic allocation to a diverse portfolio of directly managed alternative assets, making it more accessible and liquid than typical alternative asset investments."
The Alternatives Fund is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brisbane-based Blue Sky Alternative Investments (ASX: BLA).
The company says that the funds raised will be used to continue to grow a diversified and actively managed portfolio of alternative investments through a Listed Investment Company (LIC) structure.
"The strong demand for this offer, including the support across a wide range of investors and financial planners nationally, reflects the continued structural shift in allocations towards alternative assets, which is the fastest growing asset class in Australia," says the company in a statement to the ASX.
"Funds under management allocated to alternatives increased seven per cent to $422 billion in the last financial year."
It is the first significant move by the company since Robert Shand has taken over as managing director from company founder Mark Sowerby and its success is a strong indication of the confidence shareholders have in the new boss.
"The demand for the fund is also a validation of Blue Sky's strategy to provide access to alternative assets to all investors, including institutional investors, high net worth individuals, family offices and retail investors," says Blue Sky.
The Alternative Fund's assets include Australian water entitlements, agricultural and water infrastructure assets, purpose-built student accommodation and medium density retirement living as well as private equity investments into Australian growth companies.
Blue Sky's annual general meeting will be held next Friday 18 November 2016.

Yemen’s population is the largest of the Arabian Peninsula and has been a primary source of the Arab diaspora since ancient times. Peoples in North Africa and as far away as Indonesia trace their ancestry back to Yemen. Tribal influences remain very strong in Yemen, resulting in a complicated political system. The so-called Akhdam – descendants of immigrants of African origin – form a neglected Yemeni underclass.
Yemen’s population density is 40 per square kilometre. This is twice the population density of Brazil, half of that of Turkey, roughly the same as that of Iran, and slightly higher than that of the United States. A large part of Yemen is virtually uninhabitable, consisting of desert or steeply mountainous terrain, so Yemen gives the impression of a populous and busy country. Yemeni men spend most of their lives outdoors, in each other’s company, and less in the privacy of their own homes. This further strengthens Yemen’s lively image. Women are also increasingly present in public spaces.
Yemen’s population is very young and growing fast. The annual growth rate has dropped from 4.6 percent in the 1990s to 2.7 percent in 2010, but, on a global scale, it is still high. In 2010, the median age was 17.8, up from 14.3 in the 1990s; more than half the Yemeni population was born during the last twenty years. Officially, Yemen counted just over 24.3 million inhabitants in 2010. This may, however, be a conservative estimate. Projected population numbers hover around the alarming figure of 30 million in 2015 and a peak of 40 million in 2025. The growth of the urban population has been slow in Yemen, but it has accelerated, from a low of 14.8 percent in 1975, to 27.3 percent in 2005, and 31.8 percent in 2010.
Yemen’s population is concentrated in the western part of the country, where a range of impressive mountains (the Sarawat mountains) rises from, but does not lie immediately along, the Red Sea. The width of the mountain range ranges from 100 to 200 kilometres. In length, it stretches across all of (western) Yemen, extending well into the southern Saudi provinces of Jizan and Asir. The mountains are high: Jabal al-Nabi Shuayb, at 3,666 metres, is the highest in the Arabian Peninsula. It has alpine vegetation (and a military base) on its summit. On average, the mountains are about 2,000 metres high, making the range a substantial barrier to humid air blowing in from Africa and the Red Sea.
As a result, there is sufficient rain to feed a large population. The fertile mountains around the southern town of Ibb are green all year round. Rain-fed agriculture abounds in the mountains, which are adorned with ancient terraces, some laboriously maintained, others neglected. The largest towns are found along the spine of the mountain range, with the capital, Sanaa, in the middle and the third largest town, Taizz, in the south. There are also many medium-sized towns between them and in their vicinities.
The mountains in the north are significantly more arid and consequently much more thinly populated. As few as 25,000 inhabitants live in Saada, the northernmost town of Yemen, which was, like Taizz, once the capital. Beyond the southern end of the mountain range lies hot and humid Aden. Over the centuries, its strategic position and natural port have stimulated its growth, making Aden the second largest city in Yemen.
The Yemeni population is very homogeneous. Nearly all Yemenis are believed to be ethnically of southern Arab origin and are traditionally considered descendants of Qahtan (although through the centuries they mixed with Persians, Indians, and others). Southern Arabs are considered – in local genealogical tradition – to be ‘purer’ Arabs. Many Arabs regard Yemen as their (sometimes distant) land of origin. There is also a small minority of (Shiite) Ismailis. There used to be many Jews, but the present Jewish community numbers only a few hundred.
The qabila, or tribe, is of major importance in Yemen. Tribes adhere to Sunni (Shafii) Islam or Shiite (Zaidi) Islam. All Yemenis – with the exception of new immigrants and the Akhdam (Yemen studies mention several other terms for these non-tribal people, including duafa, masakin, and mustadafin, meaning weak, poor, and vulnerable people) – are tribal, in varying degrees; southern Yemenis are much less so than northerners. City inhabitants also call themselves tribal, for the qabail (the plural of qabila) are a source of both historical pride and present-day identity. People sometimes find it helpful to refer to their tribe in order to get elected, to be protected, to find a job, or even to get permission to build a house. The tribes therefore dominate Yemeni politics.
Legend has it that Yemen was founded by Qahtan, the father of the southern Arabs. Qahtan is said to be the father of Yemen and the forefather of Saba, eponym of the kingdom of Saba (Sheba). Saba had two sons, Himyar and Kahlan. After the fall of the kingdom of Saba, the tribes spread from the Marib plateau to settle in the western mountains. Yemeni tribes are not nomadic but are sedentary communities of people bound to their agricultural territory. Tribalism has diminished in the southern mountains, where conditions are less harsh than in the north. The south has often been ruled by outsiders, in modern times by the British Empire. Because farming opportunities in the north were far less favourable, northerners have, in the past, often migrated to the south or beyond the Peninsula. Although these migrants retained the memory of their ancestry, many of their tribal practices were lost in the migration.
Some North African Berbers believe they are directly descended from the Yemenis. Many Saharan tribes claim descent from the Banu Sulaym, who originated from Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The Lamtuna, a Berber nomadic tribe of the western Sahara, claims descent from the old South Arabian kingdom of Himyar. Islamic Seville (called Ishbiliya) was governed by Yemeni Arabs descended from the Banu Lakhm.
The Zaidi imams ruled northern Yemen from 873 until 1962, after local tribes invited the first Zaidi imam to come and settle tribal disputes. The Zaidi imam heads a Shia sect, referred to as ‘Fivers’, followers of Imam Zayd. They briefly established states in northern Iran, but their stronghold was in Yemen. From the 9th century onwards, the Zaidi imams were a constant factor in Yemeni politics, at times extending their rule as far as Taizz.
The Zaidi imams, who were theocrats rather than military leaders, never fully controlled the northern Yemeni tribes. During the eleven centuries of their rule –during which they moved the capital back and forth from Saada to Sanaa and on to Taizz – tribal revolts broke out frequently across the country. In the south and in distant Hadramawt, smaller dynasties, tribes, and sheikhs contested Zaidi rulership.
In the 19th century, the Ottomans returned briefly to power, but they too failed to rule the entire country. In the north, Zaidi tribes easily held out against the Ottomans, while the Crown Colony of Aden and its protectorates, in southern Yemen, had, since 1839, been in the hands of Great Britain. The British controlled Aden and its immediate surroundings in order to secure strategically located Perim island in the Bab al-Mandab – the entrance to the Red Sea –and with it the important sea route to Asia. Aden also possessed a natural port, where long-haul ships could refuel. British rule did not extend much beyond Aden, where they entered into an alliance with local sheikhs, called Ingram’s Peace.
The Ottoman Empire perished after its defeat in World War I. Yemen was then already governed by a Zaidi imam, Yahya, with the exception of the Crown Colony of Aden, which was controlled by the British. He and his successors ruled the country under the name of the internationally recognized Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. In 1934, Yemen lost the northern province of Asir to Saudi Arabia. Imam Yahya and his son and successor Imam Ahmad cut off Yemen from external influence for nearly fifty years. By abducting tribal sons as a short-term means of enforcing obedience, Imam Yahya alienated the tribes on whom his military rule was based. There were several revolts, but the imams always prevailed. In 1962, however, a republican revolt – aided by the Egyptian army and aggrieved tribes – drove out the fourth imam, al-Badr, to Saudi Arabia. Imam al-Badr died in 1996 in Great Britain, to which he had emigrated on Saudi Arabia’s official recognition of the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR; commonly referred to as North Yemen before unification) in 1972. His eldest son, Ageel bin Muhammad al-Badr, who bears the title ‘King (Malik) of Yemen’, lives in exile in London.
The Zaidi sect of Shiite Islam has long dominated Yemeni politics. Zaidism is a branch of mainstream Shiism that arose from a dispute over leadership concerning the fifth imam, in 740 CE. Zaidis are followers of Imam Zayd, whom they judged a more just leader than his brother Muhammad al-Baqir (the fifth imam of the Shiite mainstream ‘Twelvers’, who follow twelve imams, beginning with Imam Ali, the fourth ‘rightly guided’ caliph). Zaidis are therefore also referred to as ‘Fivers’ (while Ismailis are called ‘Seveners’, from a dispute over the succession of the sixth imam). Compared to mainstream Twelver Shiism, Zaidi Islam is considered moderate. Its doctrine is similar to that of Shafii Sunnism. Theological disputes between Zaidis and Shafiis have seldom led to conflict.
The state religion of Yemen is Islam. Mainstream Islam – Sunnism – has predominated in the south and east since the advent of Islam, in the 7th century. Yemeni Sunnism follows the Shafii school of religious law, which is the second largest of the four existing schools of Sunni law. Throughout history, there has been little religious conflict between Shafii and Shiite Yemenis; in general, Yemenis are rather tolerant.
Since the 1970s, Saudi influence has been growing. Many Yemenis have worked in Saudi Arabia, some of them adopting puritanical Wahhabism, or Salafism, the predominant legal school of Sunnism there. Saudi Arabia has financed a large number of Wahhabi schools – called formally ‘scientific centres’ – in Yemen, where young people are educated according to Wahhabi beliefs. Wahhabi Salafism is not tolerant of Shiite Islam, denouncing it as a religion of kafirs (unbelievers).
A growing number of Yemenis now follow Wahhabi Islam. The movement is strong and appealing, as its followers are offered access to schooling, medical services, and business opportunities. Throughout Yemen, mosques are being converted to Wahhabism by the appointment of Wahhabi imams. If a tribal sheikh ‘converts’ to Wahhabism, the whole tribe is converted along with him. The Sunni proportion of the Yemeni population is consequently believed to have increased from half to more than three-quarters.
The Ismaili branch of Shiite Islam arrived in Yemen with the Fatimid Empire, which ruled from Egypt from the 8th until the 10th century. Ismailis (sometimes referred to as ‘Seveners’) originally differed from mainstream Shiism on the topic of the succession to the sixth imam. However, they have since drifted towards a more liberal religious position, branching off into a number of sects.
Ismaili Islam has tended to spread eastwards, to India and parts of Iran, but enclaves can be found also in countries such as Turkey, Syria, and Yemen. Only 1-2 percent of Yemenis consider themselves Ismaili (Yemeni Ismailis call themselves Tayyibis). They are also known as al-Bohra (from a Gujarati word meaning ‘traders’; it is the designation for converts to Ismaili Islam outside Yemen). Al-Bohra are renowned merchants, who have their own market in the vicinity of Bab al-Yaman, the open-air market in Sanaa’s Old City.
Jewish children at school Photo HH[/caption]Judaism came to Yemen when Jews migrated from the region of Jerusalem after the last Jewish kingdom in Palestine was defeated by the Romans, in the first century CE. In fact, in pre-Islamic times, Judaism (sometimes with Christianity) dominated significant parts of Yemen, as local rulers converted. The most famous Jewish ruler was Yusuf Dhu Nuwas, a Himyari king who ruled from Zafar in the 6th century. Dhu Nuwas reportedly persecuted Christians in reaction to the persecution of Jews by the Byzantine emperor in the northern Middle East. The rule of Dhu Nuwas was ended by a large force of Christian Ethiopians.
Judaism and Jews remained in Yemen. After the arrival of Islam, Jews, who were, like Christians, ‘People of the Book’ – ahl al-kitab; Jews, Christians, and Muslims share many of the revelations of the Old Testament – were granted the status of dhimmis and were protected by Muslim rulers, although they did not enjoy full civil rights: Jews were not allowed to ride horses, wear colourful clothes, or build houses that were taller than Muslim buildings. Instead, they built cellars in which they could store, among other things, their wine, which they were allowed to drink. Orphaned Jews were often converted to Islam. In the 19th century, Jews were given the degrading task of cleaning public baths, toilets, and sewers.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were some 80,000 Jews in Yemen, spread over 1,050 communities, predominantly in Zaidi areas. As many professions were forbidden to them, Jews in Yemen made a living as artisans and craftsmen: jewellers, weavers, silversmiths, shoemakers. This made first-class Muslim citizens very dependent on second-class Jewish citizens.
By the end of the 19th century, Jewish migration (Hebrew, aliyah) to Palestine began. At first, only a few families left, but when the State of Israel was founded, the interest of Yemeni Jews grew. In 1950, with the consent of the Yemeni imam, the government of Israel mounted Operation Magic Carpet, airlifting (by British and American planes) between 35,000 and 50,000 Jews from Aden to Israel. Many Yemeni Jews saw this as the fulfilment of God’s promise to end their suffering and diaspora, but they have found their reception in modern, secular Israel disappointing. There was little demand for their knowledge and skills, so Yemeni Jews became members of Israel’s lower social classes, along with black Ethiopian Jews.
The Yemeni Jewish migration has continued throughout the years. The remaining Jewish population lived largely in the north, but, as a result of the Houthi war, these last Jews were expelled from the city of Saada and its surroundings. In 2008, after a violent incident in Rayda in which a rabbi was shot in cold blood and his killer escaped prison, the majority of the large Jewish community in Rayda also left for Sanaa. From there, some went on to the United States or Israel.
There is virtually no immigration into Yemen. Exceptions are the small expatriate communities in Sanaa and Aden and a growing group of Somali refugees who have crossed the Red Sea during the last decade in small boats owned by human traffickers, fleeing the dire conditions in southern Somalia. From 2006 onwards the number of boat refugees to Yemen has held at about 50,000 per year. The Somali refugees live in large refugee camps near Aden and Bir Ali, which are supported by the UNHCR, and on the outskirts of large cities, especially Sanaa and Aden. Most refugees try to continue their voyage to Saudi Arabia, one of the Gulf countries, or Europe, while some return to Somalia. Many remain in Yemen. In 2010, their number exceeded 200,000, as the influx and natural growth of the population continued.
Another exception to the rule of limited immigration is the Akhdam (literally, ‘servants’), descendants of immigrants of African origin. The Akhdam are believed to be the offspring of Christian Ethiopian warriors who invaded southern Arabia in the 6th century but who were later defeated and forced to serve the Yemeni Arab population. Some studies indicate that the Akhdam may also include indigenous Yemenis from the Tihama and more recent immigrants from the African side of the Red Sea.
The Akhdam, who prefer to be called muhammashin (literally, ‘marginalized ones’) number between 250,000 and 500,000, although estimates by Akhdam activists are much higher, up to three million. In practice, the Akhdam lack many civil rights, including the right to own land, to obtain building permits, or to hold passports. The Akhdam are not entitled to social services, and foreign aid generally passes them by. The Akhdam do not intermarry with Yemeni Arabs, and the Akhdam still perform the most menial jobs in Yemen.
Akhdam can be seen everywhere in Yemen, dressed in orange overalls, sweeping the streets. There are hardly any dustbins on the streets of Yemen, so there is always plenty of rubbish to be collected. Every building block in Sanaa has its own Akhdam to collect the refuse and sweep the streets. According to the local managing director of Sanaa’s waste-collection service, the Akhdam in official jobs are nowadays paid reasonable wages.
Although most Yemenis are of tribal origin, there are some distinctions in social class. There is a small upper class of Zaidi Ashraf (singular sharif) sayyids. These are all Hashemites, descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. They are considered wise and learned men and are traditionally consulted in important matters. However, the power and influence of this group is diminishing somewhat as a result of the Zaidi guerrilla war in the North. There is also a small upper class of qadis, or religious judges.
Most Yemenis – al-shab (the people) – are tribal. Traditional tribal people may commute to towns and cities during business hours or for longer periods but remain attached and faithful to their territorial power base in tribal areas. Urban tribal people are slowly changing into a large middle class with tribal roots. Urban tribal people are dominant in the south, where some families have become oligarchies rather than tribal groups.
At the bottom of the social pyramid are two groups, the Akhdam and the Mazaina. The Akhdam – of African descent and appearance – form an underclass who spend their days sweeping the streets and working as cleaners throughout Yemen. The number of Akhdam is estimated at between 0.5 and 3 million. The Mazaina are a lesser known small group of tribal Yemenis, numbering perhaps 250,000 to a half-million. Mazaina perform service duties for fellow tribal-village men and earn their livings as hairdressers, butchers, and attendants in the hammams. Although the status of Mazaina is much higher than that of Akhdam, both groups can be categorized as lower castes. Escape from their social position, through intermarriage with other groups or otherwise, is nearly impossible.

The use of aqueous PUDs is growing rapidly worldwide, thanks to their versatility, high performance, and low environmental impact. PUDs enable formulators to customize properties, such as durability, hardness and flexibility, for each specific application.
Their low environmental impact comes from a low VOC (volatile organic compound) content, as they are dispersed in water rather than organic solvents. As a result PUD coating systems are becoming increasingly attractive solutions, being both friendlier to the environment and to the people who use them.
Perstorp will also present a pigmented Oxymer™-based PUD spray coat on an aluminum surface, to exemplify the exceptional adhesion onto many substrates and superior chemical and UV resistance enabled by Oxymer™ M112.
In addition, the company will feature two product samples of its unique Ymer™ N120 – one in a very low pH solution and one in a very high pH solution – to demonstrate the process robustness and stability it brings to PUDs.
Perstorp’s complete palette of essential and specialty components for producing high performance and low impact polyurethane dispersions, covers products for producing PUDs for highly durable wood floor coatings, flexible and abrasion-resistant leather and textile coatings and weather-resistant, non-yellowing outdoor coatings. It also includes soft-feel coatings for plastics, and adhesives for footwear, wood products, furniture and automotive interiors.
Perstorp’s extensive range of raw materials includes, among others, polyols and chain-extenders, isocyanate monomers, dispersing monomers, and isocyanate cross-linkers, dedicated to the formulation and differentiation of the full range of PUDs.

Majestic. Breathtaking. Awe-inspiring. Those are the first words that come to my mind when I think of Alaska. I’ve been lucky to have experienced two Alaskan cruises, and with each I was simply blown away by the scenery.
If there was one excursion that I’ve been on that highlighted Alaska’s greatest assets it was the Best of Juneau — a full day of sightseeing with a visit to Mendenhall glacier, a whale-watching cruise and salmon bake.
This shore excursion was booked directly through Carnival Cruise Line which maximized our time while we were in the port of Juneau. I’m a big fan of booking through the cruise line because there’s never any waiting and there are guarantees you don’t get when booking independently, like getting back to the ship on time!
Our day started bright and early with a luxury bus ride to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center where we spent some time wandering the facility and, of course, took in some fantastic views of the famous glacier.
It’s hard to explain just how magnificent this glacier is, and the scope of size is quite overwhelming at approximately 12 miles in length. This ice field is a remnant from the Little Ice Age, which began more than 3000 years ago.
I think it’s hard to capture a bad photo when you’re surrounded by so much beauty.
After a fair amount of time at the glacier we returned to the bus and made our way to the marina to board a deluxe catamaran for our wildlife cruise. This particular excursion guaranteed that we would see whales, and it did not disappoint!
We set out to explore Stephen’s Passage where Humpback whales feed. Along the way, an onboard Naturalist pointed out additional animals in their natural environment. Can you spot the harbor seals?
The sea lions where much easier to see — just hanging out on a buoy!
Finally it was time for the whales — and they came out in droves! It was so exciting seeing these mammoth creatures in their natural habitat. You really have to have your camera ready to get a good shot, but it can be done.
Witnessing these beauties in action is why you come to Alaska! It was definitely a moment my family won’t forget — simply incredible.
Towards the end of the excursion we were treated to a salmon bake at Orca Point Lodge on Colt Island.
Once again, the scenery was magical and the wild-caught salmon was divine — freshly grilled with veggies, rice and cole slaw. Apparently I was so hungry that I forgot to snap a photo, but I assure you it was a delicious and a fantastic way to end our day in Juneau.
We were delivered back to the ship on time with a bit of extra padding for souvenir shopping. The Best of Juneau shore excursion was the best way to see the highlights of Juneau with the time we had in port. I can’t recommend it enough if you’re sailing Alaska this cruise season.

Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life. A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of flying. But, a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home. That’s life!! Enjoy yours… If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that. If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded. But those who live simply, sleep soundly. If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages. Live simply. Walk humbly and love genuinely..! All good will come back to you.
When you start to know someone.
Wise words from Maya Angelou.
no need to dream of others life if you love genuinely and all good will come back to you, you will have a better one!
Right commenter Anie…just a matter of enjoying the life we are having now…we differ in social status, differ in culture as well as differ in circumstances….but we are lucky to have been given the free mind to decide….deciding for what’s good and what’s best is the most important thing to do to enjoy life fully…..
I dont desire anothers life, i desire control of mine.

The Regular Route of the Mönch is an alpine classic for entry level alpinists. Squeezed into about 400 meters of gain is some easy rock scrambling, snowy ridge traversing, a steep (45 °) snow/ice step, and finally a very airy open snow face traverse to the summit. While rated PD, the route is not to be taken lightly as, like any alpine route, conditions make all the difference. Care must be taken on the final traverse when passing people, and the steep section can get busy.
The route is easily done from the Jungfraujoch morning arrivals. On a clear day, the route provides for massive views in all directions, from the flatlands of Switzerland to the north, to a clear shot south and most of the 23km long Aletschgletscher, the Alps longest glacier.
TIP: Be sure to be on the first Jungfraujoch Train and quick to the base. You’ll want to stay ahead of the crowds at the steep section, but be warned, you may have the wait on the way down. Some people scope out the crowd, and wait at the base of the route to start at the perfect time.
Ueli Steck headed for the Mönch. The East Ridge (Regular Route) is the right skyline.
We don’t offer guiding but you can contact Grindelwald Sport. Have fun.

Interesting article in MOG magazine this month re main fuse corrosion & failure.
I did not know there was one as have never seen it, despite changing the battery fairly recently. In terms of servicing & preventative measures, what would my learned friends recommend to prevent/arrest any corrosion. My first thought is WD40, but I know long term it can actually attract moisture. Not sure of using ACF50 on an electrical component either.
I use Dow Corning MS4 grease as I have some left over from a previous occupation but this stuff is half the price with the same electrical properties. It also has the side effect of making the fuses easier to pull and replace.
This prevented a disaster when the licquorice tubing washer pipes fell off soaking it all on my 4/4 Sport.
ACF50 is fine for electrics and is just what I'm going to use on the said fuse - after reading the Mog article.
I have used it on fuseboxes ( cars - not domestic!) and even PCBs on old Rover sat-nav units where water ingress is possible/likely.
You should speak to Cain who had a catastrophic failure of this nature on the Wolf Cafe Racer on an unlit stretch of the A14 at night.
Which fuse is this and where is it located?
On the latest +4 and Roadster (maybe 4/4) there are two approx 35mm2 red cables from battery positive terminal. One feeds stater motor directly and the other the common positive battery stud at front of car via an 80 amp maxi fuse in holder located close to battery. These two cables follow a similar path to the front, secured internally to wood frame underneath right hand door.
On mine the fuse is clearly visible when the battery access plate is removed.
+8Rich thanks for those links. Andy thanks for info on acf50.
I still have to find my fuse it seems well hidden. I will be lifting the tool tray next week & will have a look then.
Thanks. I too will check it out in due course.
Conformal coatings are a great idea providing that you are sure that the substrate is 100% clean. I used to work in the chemical cleaning industry and we sold far more chemicals to help people try to remove conformal coatings because they had trapped water or dirt behind them than we did cleaning fluid to clean the PCB in the first place. Because the coating is designed to stick , it is the very devil to remove entirely and most of the components ended up being used for spares only.
The other issue is that once applied any maintenance of the electronics is impossible, so dry joints etc became an issue.
Just a word of caution. WD40 has excellent insulating properties ( which is why people spray HT leads to stop electrical tracking in wet weather). If you get this on an electrical contact i.e. Fuse and Fuse Holder there is every chance you will eventually end up with a high resistance.
There is a copper rich grease available ( not coppaslip) which is specifically designs to preserve / prevent water ingress which is used in the marine environment but my old brain has ran out out of memory but I'm sure one of you can find it online.
Interesting and valid points, when I was using it professionally it was on clean PCB's that were exposed sometimes to a marine environment and it was very effective but they were small replaceable units and non repairable.
The spraying of the Morgan PCB seemed to have saved my bacon (£500 if in stock) so I guess I was lucky in that the area was clean. Thanks for the information.
I did once try and clean off a PCB with this applied and it was not an experience I would care to repeat, I think the Morgan PCB are non serviceable items - I could be wrong.
It seems the main (maxi) fuse suffers from its damp and dirty location. It does/should have a cover though.
Checking the integrity of same and sealing out the damp should pay dividends without affecting the actual fuse contacts.
Seem to recall Dave W. finding an unexpected main fuse behind the dashboard on one of his Mogs a few years back, which was half out. He secured it with a cable tie.
That was Mr Bumble (2012). The main fuse was up in the top right corner under the dash.
On my Roadster, its next to the battery behind the nearside seat.
Dave, what is your recommendation for protecting this fuse please? We don't seem to have a consensus view on this thread. I assume / hope that failure of the main fuse is rare. Cain's experience sounds alarming!
I'm reasonably relaxed about this Tom. My Roadster has the main bank of fuses on the bulkhead. Recently I pulled them (eight) and just polished the contacts, which were slightly tarnished.
The bank of twenty fuses under the dash is hard to get at so I only go there when I have to, such as when the horns stopped working.
The single main fuse in the rear cavity I would only check if I was in there.
I found the problem under the dash of Bumble (2012 4/4 75th Anniversary) when I was tracing a hiccup in the engine over bumps. The fuse was half out of the holder and I added cable tie to hold it in. That wasn't the cause of the problem though, which was a loose connection on the engine.
It does seem quite vulnerable just poked in the corner next to the wheel. Perhaps a squirt of acf50 before putting it in a small but rugged plastic bag and securing around the cables with a couple of zip ties might help?
I don't think there can be one size fits all answer to fuse issues Tom. This due to variation on location of main fuse if one is fitted at all. All the latest cars have this fuse located close to the battery which makes sense as it offers protection to the cable as a whole. Ironic that there is a similar cable direct to starter with no fuse at all, although this is the norm. Fusing for the stater circuit would require a very large fuse in the order of 100's of amps and add unreliability. Fortunately the physical size hence rigidity and thickness of insulation on such cables, together with care in routing makes them less vulnerable.
It should be noted that only in the past few decades battery located fuses were added to cars in general. The fuse is there to protect the cable and attached equipment assuming as with most, they don't have their own internal fuse.
Since the 90's most cars use blade type fuses which come in a range of physical sizes. Current Morgans use the mini type with the exception of the maxi battery fuse. Although blade fuses fair better long term than the various earlier types, they do benefit from simply being removed and replaced as the method of contact offers a self cleaning action. If the fuse slides in too easily its socket is worn or damaged. It may be possible to very carefully bend the socket contacts but otherwise replacement required. Dave's issue mentioned above springs to mind.
Finally be wary of squirting any product in the direction of fuse contacts if it has insulating properties.
Richard, thanks for taking the time to write such a full reply. I suppose there is always the risk of a failure, and additional protection and good maintenance are just reducing that risk. It could be that my X3 has a main fuse and I've been blissfully unaware of it but I feel a bit more vulnerable in a Plus 4 of course.
IMO, unless you can hermetically seal the plastic bag around the cables, (near impossible), then it is likely to do more harm than good. Any water that enters, or condensation that might occur will not be able to escape, and corrosion may be worse than if left open to the air.
Found it, same place as Rog found his. But having cut the cable tie attaching it to the other +ve cables, their is still very little slack to allow access to the fuse.
I've wrapped a plastic bag around my maxi fuse with a bag of silica gel inside (oh, and a spare fuse) Wether or not i ever remember to dry out the silica gel or not is another question....thjs post has just reminded me !!!!
Thanks Dave. I just realised I hadn't acknowledged your response so apologies for my bad manners. I've realised that this is probably also a feature of my other cars so the only issue is that the fuse may be less protected in the Morgan due to it's traditional construction. I would worry about completely covering it in any way that might trap condensation, so I think the preventative measures are to ensure it is reasonably shielded from dirt and water and then inspect it once or twice a year. Interesting though that protecting the car's electrical circuit might put the occupants at risk if the fuse pops at the wrong time and place!
For remote boat (models) we insert the receiver in a small balloon (like used for birthday by exemple) in order to avoid water inflow.

The BoE's central scenario is that the UK government will reach a deal with the EU, and while this has not changed, they have raised the probability of this. As a result of the uncertainty, the BoE have seen a negative impact on the economy, and as a result, the forecasts for growth as the situation currently stands have been revised lower as noted earlier - 1.2% in 2019.
However, the BoE has also recognised that they see a significant boost to the economy if a deal is reached with the EU and this seems to have tempered some of the bearish sentiment on the initial reaction to the inflation report (forecasts). The MPC also sees households and domestic banks in a favourable position in terms of finances, with banks better capitalised as a result of the rebuilding work since the financial crisis some 10 years ago.
Following on from this, global growth concerns have also played a part in the growth downgrades, so this is less of a UK exclusive outlook which may also have been a factor in the GBP recovery which is now pushing new highs on the day.
Cable has now recovered all its losses and more as it pushes into the mid 1.2900's, though we need a clear break above the 1.3010-25 area to suggest there is a medium-term low in place ahead of 1.2850 seen earlier.
As we also noted, EUR/GBP struggled to retest the highs seen earlier this week, and here also we are testing lower levels though expect some support in the 0.8740-50 area. If we break below here, we may well get a retest of the 0.8700 mark, though this now depends on EUR/USD also with traders eyeing 1.1300 again.

e) had the Force’s first munity under his command.
Arthur Henry Griesbach born was October 22, 1839 at Yorkshire England. His father was an Anglican clergyman. Arthur was the third of ten children. His two older brothers had died while serving in the British Army. At the age of 18, he received an officer commission in the Yorkshire militia regiment then transferring to the 15th (the King’s) Hussars where he rose to the rank of Captain. In later years, he also served as a Captain in the Cape Town Rifle regiment.
In 1870, Arthur Griesbach was a member of the General Wolseley expedition during the Red River Rebellion in Manitoba. In this expedition, he was a British Army Captain and Quartermaster.
While the turmoil on the Red River Rebellion were drawing to a close. The new Canadian government was concerned about re-establishing of peaceful, law-abidding communities and an appropriate administration in the North West Territories.
The concept of establishing a police presence in the North West Territories was that of John A. MacDonald. His recommendation was forwarded to Privy Council on April 6, 1870.
Based on the Privy Council submission, Captain Donald Roderick Cameron (had served as a staff officer in India and as adjutant of the Royal Artillery in Halifax) was tasked to research and develop preparation plans for the creation of a territorial policing force. He was assisted by Arthur Griesbach. Their work outlined a self-sustaining organization which was based on a military regiment model.
Under these initial plans, Captain Cameron was to become the commandant of this new territorial police force but the proposal for this organization and appointment didn’t materialize. Consequently, Cameron went on to become the Canadian Commissioner of the Boundary Survey.
After completing the research work with Captain Cameron, Arthur Griesbach secured a position as Sergeant Instructor with “A” Battery of the Royal Canadian Artillery stationed at Kingston, Ontario.
On August 30,1873, an order-in-council was issued authorizing the creation of the North-west Mounted Police.
Apparently on September 1, 1873, Arthur Griesbach was offered and accepted a position as a Chief Constable in the new territorial force. His appointment was appropriate because he was one of the architects who developed the original territorial force plan submitted to the Canadian government. It was the content of this original plan that was used to develop the legislation authorizing the creation of this new organization.
Hussars and Cape Town Rifles).
On October 16, 1873, Lieutenant-Colonel George A. French (British Officer serving in Canada) was appointed as the first Commissioner of the North-west Mounted Police. Prior to this appointment, he was the Inspector of Artillery and Warlike Stores and Commandant of the School of Gunnery at Kingston Ontario. It is interesting to note that Arthur Griesbach was also stationed in Kingston Ontario and attached to “A” Battery of the Royal Canadian Artillery. Obviously, both Arthur and George were aware of each other prior to both becoming members of the North-west Mounted Police.
On November 3, 1873, the enlistment oath was administered by the acting Commissioner. Each man was given a warrant bearing his name and rank. The first three individuals to sign the roll were – Arthur Griesbach then Percy R. Neale followed by Samuel B. Steele. Each of these members were appointed as Chief Constables which is equivalent to a Sergeant Major.
Sam Steele coordinated the breaking-in of horses and instructed the officers and men on riding. Based on his past experiences, Percy Neale took over the role as the Quartermaster and coordinated the logistics of organizing kit, clothing and supplies.
In March 1875 at Dufferin Barracks– Arthur wrote a letter to Commissioner French complaining about the vague promises that he was made when enlisting into the Force.
One of his complaints was being required to share a tent with non-commissioned members – the same individuals he has to administer discipline upon. Another vague comment made to him was that promotions within the new police force would be based on merit and promotions would be within the ranks of this new force.
On the famous March West, Arthur Griesbach was the Regimental Sergeant Major.
In later years, he was posted to Fort Saskatchewan where he remained for most of his career. On February 15, 1885, Arthur was promoted to the rank of Superintendent. With this promotion, In 1885, his salary was $1,400 annually plus $800 allowance. This salary and allowance remained the same until he eventually retired in 1903.
As the Officer in Charge of Fort Saskatchewan, Arthur Griesbach experienced a mutiny. In fall of 1885, some NWMP members were temporarily housed in the old Hudson’s Bay Company fort. When there was a need to temporarily fill a vacant Corporal position – Constable William F. Carstairs (Reg. #1343) – a young recruit was appointed as the acting Corporal because the recruit had previously held the rank of a lieutenant in the Canadian Militia.
Needless to say this temporary appointment didn’t go over well with most of the members. Trouble started on February 4, 1886 when three constables on night guard refused to obey orders of Acting Corporal Carstairs. Later in the evening, rebellion spread amoungst the remaining members at the fort. By late morning the following day, the mutineers were too numerous for the NCOs to control. The constables continued to perform their regular duties but refused to accept any orders or direction. One of the ringleaders – Cst. Henry Begg (Reg. #1139) arranged to have an invitation sent to Fort Saskatchewan to invite 15 constables there to join the mutineer action.
Upon being advised of the situation, Supt. Griesbach agreed to meet with the malcontents and heard their complaints. Apparently, the cause of the mutiny was the promotion of six constables who were unpopular with the men. The malcontents argued that Supt. Griesbach had passed over men with longer service and more experience. Conditions in the old Hudson Bay fort were also said to have contributed to the uprising. It was reported to Supt. Griesbach that the Hudson Bay fort was overcrowded and infested with bed bugs and fleas. Apparently, Cst. Henry Begg pulled down the Union Jack flag and raised a skull and cross bone flag.
Supt. Griesbach was anxious to avoid bloodshed and made no effort to arrest the ringleaders. Instead, Arthur forwarded a message off to the Commissioner in Regina and outlined the situation. Upon receiving this message, Commissioner Irvine assigned Supt. William Herchmer to immediately set out for Fort Saskatchewan with 25 members.
While waiting for the arrive of Supt. Herchmer, Supt. Griesbach encouraged the mutinous members to take their horses out for a field ride which they all agreed to do. While they were out of the Fort, Griesbach encouraged the remaining loyal members to help set a trap for the returning 19 constables. When the mutinous 19 members returned, they were immediately surrounded at gun point and surrendered without incident.
The primary ringleaders were arrested and placed in the Guardroom. Eighteen constables were convicted of participating in the affair and received long sentences of hard labour.
c) Giving a letter to a civilian to take to Fort Saskatchewan to incite the men there to munity.
Both of these ring leaders received the maximum sanction under the NWMP Act. – lost of pay for 1 month and 1 year of hard labour to be served at Depot.
While serving out his time in Depot, Cst. Begg was convicted 8 times of assaulting his guards and the possession of a knife. A few months later, Begg would again charged but this time for possessing a pipe. This disruptive behavior resulted in Begg receiving additional time added to his sentence. Begg’s behavior continued to be disruptive to the point that the Commissioner Herchmer ordered that Begg be placed on bread and water while serving time in leg irons.
In June 3, 1887, Constable Begg completed his term of 17 months in the Depot Guardroom and was immediately thereafter discharged from the Force. Apparently, Commissioner Herchmer described Constable Begg as being a“worthless and incorrigible” individual.
On February 9, 1903, Arthur Griesbach applied for a compulsory pension under the provisions of the new Mounted Police Pension Act. His retirement marked the completion of 35 years of dedicated service to the country. On December 1, 1903, he retired from the Force and his pension was set at $1,200 per year.
Upon retiring, Arthur and his wife Emmeline moved to Edmonton and remained there until 1912. In 1912, it was decided that they would move to the milder climate on the west coast of British Columbia and settled in the community of Chemainus, B.C.
On November 21, 1916, Arthur Griesbach passed away and was later buried in the family plot in Edmonton, Alberta. His wife was then entitled to a pension of $1.25 per day for the remaining days of her life.
Arthur’s son William Arthur Griesbach was born on January 3, 1876 at Fort Qu’Appelle and followed his father’s military career. William ended up as Major General W.A. Griesbach OB, CMG, DSO, KC and Senator.
In recognition for his dedicated service to his country and the communities he served, a street was named after him in Fort Saskatchewan.

א וַיָּבֹאוּ בְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּל-הָעֵדָה מִדְבַּר-צִן, בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן, וַיֵּשֶׁב הָעָם, בְּקָדֵשׁ; וַתָּמָת שָׁם מִרְיָם, וַתִּקָּבֵר שָׁם. 1 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
What is unique about this Verse?
The Bible portion before this Verse is about the laws of the Parah Aduma, the Red Heifer. That Bible portion and everything before this verse in B’Midbar (Numbers) took place in the second year of leaving Egypt. The previous verse to Chapter 20, Verse 1 was the final verse of the laws of the Red Heifer. The very next verse, Chapter 20, Verse 1 takes place 38 years later. In one verse 38 years pass, seemingly uneventful. There is zero mention in the Bible as to what happened during these 38 years. People lived their lives, had children, got married, mourned their losses, but nothing eventful happened that the Bible felt it was important to mention.
Compounding this is the first story in year 40 is the death of Miriam. This makes sense as the Bible is telling us of the passing of the old generation to make way for new leadership. However, Miriam dies and there is no water. Over 3 million people are dying of thirst. The same complaints heard 40 years ago by their parents, are echoed by the children, Why did you take us out of Egypt. This is followed by Moshe hitting the rock and not speaking to it, saying, “listen you rebels” and Moshe being punished. Tough times again. Nothing changed.
To me the simple but unsatisfying answer for the second observation and without looking at the Commentators is that life is tough. Nothing changed. Despite the fact that the Jews had all their needs met in the desert for 40 years, they still had to live life and life is not idyllic. I will say that in our day and age, for many people life has never been this good. However, don’t ever think that you can float by in life. Life will always catch up.
I told the below to Rabbi Lopatin and he did not think I was correct. However, the below is my gut feel.
Time passes. Whether we live for 20 years or 80 years, after those 80 years life ceases and your 80 years is no different than that of another person living for 20 years, both are gone. Sometimes a full life is 20 years, sometimes 80 years, and sometimes one day. The quality is the same. We know that someone can acquire merit in the world to come in one hour. This is what the Torah is saying about the Jews in the desert. The years that mattered to the destiny of the Jewish people were up to and including year 2 after leaving Egypt and year 40. The intervening years were unimportant. Year 2 merges with year 40 and that is the continuum of time.
I have a friend who I did not see for 30 years. He moved on to Israel, married, had kids, etc. When I first met with him after the 30 years absence. I was looking for that youthful person I knew from 30 years earlier. I did not see it in him and I could not relate to my friend. I wondered what happened to the young man I met and it bothered me. We were sitting together the last time I was in israel and he sang. He was a Chazzan and only then was I able to see the same person from 30 years earlier. Time merged and the 30 years dropped out of the time continuum.
This coming Wednesday, Tamuz 11, is my father’s Yahrzeit. I did not see my father from 1970 to 1994, for 24 years. I spoke to him on the phone but it was not a relationship. My mother was very angry that I went to visit, but it was something I had to do. On January 17, 1994 when I knocked on his door, and for the next 8 years I went twice a year to visit him we did have a relationship. I was with my father from the date I was born in 1953 to 1970, then from 1994 to his death in 2002. 1970 merged with 1994 and it was a continuous relationship. The distance of time did not matter. It was an entire lifetime. The 24 years just dropped out of the timeline. This is what observation 1 in communicating. At times life truncates, years merge, and intervening years drop out because they do not matter to the relationship. I believe similar to Yaakov our forefather. My years may be off, but he leaves his father at age 58, comes back to his father at age 94, is with his father for 15+- years, goes thorough suffering when his son, Joseph, is gone for 22 years, reunites with Joseph at age 130. It is a great life, the bad times are gone and it is glorious life bound together by the times he spent with his father and with Joseph in peace and harmony.

The very rhetoric involved in this project reveals its arbitrary character (rhetoric aims at overcoming the difficulty of speaking sincerely) . . . The classical tendency is for the author—‘I’—to decide to talk either about himself or about somebody else—‘he.’ Here, on the contrary, we have an impersonal voice. It sends out, like an arrow which is shot from the bow only to be constantly taken back, an ‘I’ whose only person, whose only individuality lies in the hand of flesh and blood which is doing the writing.
Every time, ‘He’ is the person who is going to write ‘I’; every time, ‘I’ is the person who, beginning to write, nevertheless goes back into the pre-creature which gave him birth. This instability works like a quivering brought under control, entrusted with the creation of a person who deprives the story of itself.
The total body is impersonal. Identity is like a bird of prey hovering far, far above the sleep in which we peacefully go about leading our real life, living our true story. When we wake up, the bird plunges down upon us, and it is during its descent, before it has touched us, that we must move faster that it does and speak.
The ‘spontaneity’ which people normally talk to us about is the height of convention. It is that reified language which we find ready-made within ourselves, immediately at our disposal, when we do in fact want to speak ‘spontaneously.’ The spontaneity which Sollers is trying to achieve here is an infinitely more difficult concept. It is a fundamental criticism of signs, an almost utopian . . . quest for an a-language, a fully corporeal one, fully alive, a prelapsarian space from which stereotypes, those constituent elements of all psychology and all ‘spontaneity,’ have been expelled. . . . This practice does not consist in paying no attention to language (an excellent way of ensuring that it comes galloping back, in its most outworn forms), but in catching it unawares—or . . . in listening to its precarious suspension.
That imperturbable drive “at” the liminal markers of non-sens as at an originary non-lieu, (I think of Pound, presumably writing to Harriet Monroe, saying: “The continuation can be called Poetry, Second Series, or new series, if that hackneyed term is still big heap mumbo on the lake shore”—and wonder about my own “big heap mumbo” here, and my semi-Tourette’s need and desire to spout incafardables . . .) Sollers: “. . . to brush against the limit inside oneself; the gesture, the word that nobody would now be able to understand; that he would not understand either, but of which he would at least be the insoluble origin.” It’s a long way to the social shindig at the corral along the road.

Delays in completing maintenance on submarines based at Naval Base Kitsap has cost the Navy an estimated $350 million in the past decade.
The Navy has spent more than $1.5 billion in the past decade to support the operating costs for submarines that idly sat in the water, all while the Navy's four shipyards worked through a backlog of delayed maintenance availabilities.
A number of the fleet's fast attack submarines have collectively spent more than 10,600 days pierside, waiting to start or complete a maintenance availability since 2008, according to a recently released report from the Government Accountability Office.
The Navy would foot the bill for the operating costs of those vessels — including crew salaries. But whether they were deployed or waiting for maintenance at the shipyard, the delays meant the submarines were unable to perform missions.
"Without addressing this challenge, the Navy risks continued expenditure of operating and support funding to crew, maintain, and support attack submarines that provide no operational capability because they are delayed in getting into and out of maintenance," the report said.
Overall, it costs the Navy about $9 billion a year to operate and sustain the 51 commissioned nuclear-powered fast attack submarines in the fleet, which includes 33 Los Angeles-class submarines, 15 Virginia-class submarines and three Seawolf-class submarines.
Fast-attack submarines are among some of the Navy's most sought-after assets because their "stealthy nature provides an asymmetric advantage for gathering intelligence undetected and, due to their nuclear power, allows for prolonged underwater operations with few practical limits," according to the report.
Most of the fleet's fast-attack submarines are homeported at bases in Connecticut, Hawaii, Virginia, California and Guam. All three of the Navy's Seawolf-class fast-attack submarines are homeported at Naval Base Kitsap, near where they receive maintenance at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
The USS Jimmy Carter has been homeported at Bangor since 2005. The USS Seawolf and USS Connecticut have been homeported in Bremerton since 2007.
The report found the majority of delays resulted from depot-level maintenance periods, which requires entering one of the Navy's often-backlogged shipyards, like PSNS.
A similar GAO report published in September 2017 found systemic facility restoration and maintenance backlogs across all four Navy-owned shipyards had resulted in more than 13,000 lost operational days for the fleet's aircraft carriers and submarines of all classes after their maintenance availabilities could not be completed on time.
Within the past decade, the Navy has spent more than an estimated $350 million to support the Kitsap-based fast-attack submarines as they waited to either start or complete a maintenance availability at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, according to the report.
The three Seawolf-class subs have collectively waited more than 1,600 days to complete work packages that had fallen behind schedule. Combined, they have sat idle for almost 80 days as they waited to enter dry dock.
At the average estimated daily cost of more than $205,000 to operate, Seawolf-class submarines were the most expensive vessels for the Navy to support per day during a delayed maintenance period compared with Los Angeles-class or Virginia-class submarines, the GAO found.
Maintenance projects on those vessels often ran into unforeseen roadblocks after they got underway, according to Naval Sea Systems Command spokesman Bill Couch.
The resulting delays were "due to higher-priority work leading to a lack of available resources, along with growth and new work in excess of the original plan," Couch said.
The Seawolf's first major depot-level maintenance period, which began in September 2009, ran almost 20 months behind schedule. It was completed in April 2012.
The Seawolf is once again laid up in the shipyard after delays arose during the course of the submarine's current dry dock maintenance period that began in October 2015. The availability will likely be completed next month, Couch said.
At that rate, the project will be more than two years behind the schedule of its original estimated completion date of July 2016, according to the Navy's fiscal year 2019 budget.
The next submarine in the Seawolf-class, the Connecticut, entered the shipyard for its first major maintenance period in July 2012. By the time its work package was completed in November 2016, the project had run almost 32 months longer than what the Navy planned.
The last dry dock period for the Jimmy Carter — the third and final submarine in the Seawolf class — ran more than eight months behind schedule after it began in September 2013. It was completed in October 2014.
The delays to that particular project resulted because of the "one-of-a-kind maintenance program" required for the specialty sub, which has unique modifications to support special operations missions and intelligence-gathering operations, Couch said.
The Jimmy Carter once again entered the shipyard for dry-dock maintenance in July. The work package is scheduled for completion in January 2020, according to the Navy's budget.
If the maintenance delays continue unaddressed, the GAO estimates that Navy will spend another $266 million to support idle fast attack submarines during the next five years.
One possible to solution to the addressing the backlog would be for the Navy to consider passing along of the fleet's fast-attack submarine maintenance needs to private shipyards with greater frequency.
The report recommends the Navy should conduct a business-case analysis that takes a closer look at the maintenance workload allocation between the Navy's public shipyards and private ventures, including an assessment of the costs and risks associated with allowing submarines sitting idle versus passing along some of the workload to private-sector counterparts.
Shipbuilders like General Dynamics Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries-Newport News Shipbuilding, which manufacture nuclear-powered fast-attack submarines for the Navy, already provide depot-level maintenance for those vessels as needed on a case-by-case basis. Going forward, those shipyards could be a viable solution to working through maintenance backlog for vessels of that class, the report suggested.
The report found that the Navy has shifted an estimated 8 million man-hours of maintenance on fast-attack submarines to private shipyards during the past five years, but "has done so sporadically, having decided to do so in some cases only after experiencing lengthy periods of idle time," according to the report.
In one extreme case, the Los Angeles-class submarine USS Boise was scheduled to undergo maintenance at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia in 2013, but the Navy had to push back the work package's start date due to shipyard's heavy workload. As such, the Boise's certificate to safely dive the submarine expired in 2016 and the crew has sat idle pier side since.
The Navy awarded a contract to the private shipyard Huntington-Ingalls to perform the required maintenance in October 2017, but by the time the Boise enters the company's shipyard in January, it will have idled for more than 960 days.
The GAO also recommended the Navy continue to work toward addressing workforce shortages and a facility restoration backlog found at all found shipyards, as detailed in the organization's September 2017 report.
In the year since then, the Navy has already started to take steps to alleviate those problems.
Almost 1,500 new employees have started working at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in the past year since that report came out, according to shipyard spokesman J.C. Mathews.
In the past decade, the PSNS' workforce has surged from almost 9,500 employees to the current workforce of more than 14,000 employees.

This is the first of a two-part post on painter Theodoros Stamos (1922 - 1997). Stamos was one of the original and youngest Abstract Expressionist artists working in New York in the 1940s and 50s. He was born on Manhattan’s Lower East Side to Greek immigrant parents; his mother was from Sparta, and his father was raised in Lefkada. He won a scholarship to the American Artists School where he studied sculpture with Simon Kennedy and Joseph Konzal. His instructor Joseph Solman, who was a member of the group The Ten, became a mentor to Stamos. At Solman’s urging, Stamos visited Alfred Steiglitz’s influential An American Place Gallery, where he encountered the work of Arthur Dove and Georgia O’Keeffe, among others. During this period, the late 1930s and early 1940s, Stamos held a variety of odd jobs: printer, florist, hat-blocker, and book salesman. Through one job, at a frame shop on East 18th Street, he met members of the European avant-garde, including Arshile Gorky and Fernand Léger.
In 1943, when Stamos was 21 years old, prominent dealer Betty Parsons gave him a solo exhibition at her Wakefield Gallery and Bookshop. Parsons became an important ally and connection to the contemporary New York art world; Stamos would show regularly with her until 1957.
By the mid-1940s, his career was becoming well established – he exhibited at the Whitney Museum annually from 1945 to 1951, at the Carnegie Institute and the Art Institute of Chicago in 1947, and at the Museum of Modern Art in 1948. Also during this period, Stamos’ work began attracting the attention of collectors.
The Museum of Modern art purchased Stamos’ Sounds in the Rock (left) in 1946. And Edward Wales Root, who became both a supporter of Stamos’ career and a benefactor of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute, bought the first of many paintings from the artist in 1945.
During the late 1940s he became a member of 'The Irascible Eighteen', a group of abstract painters who protested the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s policy towards American painting of the 1940s and who posed for a famous picture in 1950 (see below), members of the group are considered as the 'first generation' of abstract expressionists. These artists are part of the New York School and they were referred to as The Irascibles in an article featured in an issue of Life where the infamous Nina Leen photograph was published.
From left, rear, they are: Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Ad Reinhardt, Hedda Sterne; (next row) Richard Pousette-Dart, William Baziotes, Jimmy Ernst (with bow tie), Jackson Pollock (in striped jacket), James Brooks, Clyfford Still (leaning on knee), Robert Motherwell, Bradley Walker Tomlin; (in foreground) Theodoros Stamos (on bench), Barnett Newman (on stool), Mark Rothko (with glasses).
Around 1950, Stamos began exploring a new approach to abstraction. Inspired by East Asian aesthetics, he created his Tea House series of paintings, characterized by softly defined geometric forms painted with a limited palette and often overlaid by dark calligraphic brushwork. Later in the 1950s, Stamos worked with compositions that became increasingly reductive and simplified. He explored the use of layers of thin pigment, carefully worked, to create depth in his broad expanses of colour. The paintings below cover 1945 to 1968. The second part, where his Infinity Field paintings clearly have a lot in common with the work of Mark Rothko, will cover from 1969 to his death in 1997.

I will check out your homemade cleaners and learn something new. Have a great day!
Well that was year, not tear. You should see some of my other typos: “best fishes” and “big jugs” are the least of my sins.
We’re all human!! Happy New Year to you as well and looking forward to some news from you. The mop bucket can be found on Amazon or the Mopnado website which is overseas. You won’t regret getting one and the mopheads are great and so very washable!!!
Happy new tear! Thanks for the tips. I must check out that mop and bucket.
Beach, sun-baked, are you kidding?? I’m definitely not leaving my beautiful mountains for that heat!!! You are a hoot my friend!!!
I wrote briefly about my ‘temporary and part time’ job earlier. I seriously only took it until I was able to go back to work on the farm. The problem is that I enjoy it too much to leave! To make matters worse, I do not want to leave them without anyone there to do what I do. It is almost as excellent as working at the farm.
I don’t think I would ever satisfy you enough to clean for you!! I think Ms Poppins better stay on this side of the world!!! Still love you though, my Aussie friend!!
you’d be over here in seconds after you have given Eddie his breakfast. Flashed around my abode, then to the beach for sunbake and surf and back in Craig County for dinner preparations.
Well it is a bloody BIG pity that Craig County,Virginia, USA is so away from Terrigal, Australia.
Due to my wretched back I am trying through agencies to get a cleaner to come – just a miserable once a month to vacuum and mop my abode. I am sure as my sisters have assured me that it would take about an hour to do.
So far I have had no success…………..try a “Mary Poppins” and fly across, pretty please????
You’ll have plenty of time to even go to the beach etc.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — When visitors to the new MGM Springfield casino soon enter its hotel lobby, they will be greeted by a large, state-of-the-art sculpture that wraps around the interior of the building’s entrance.
Pearlman named her sculpture “The Flying Tidings Whirled,” after a line from an Emily Dickinson poem about a summer storm.
Crafted from 10 large aluminum pieces that have been powder-coated white, the piece is meant to express a dramatic weather pattern that Pearlman hopes will “draw you into the space” from the street outside.
“When MGM approached me about doing a commission in this space, they were very interested about doing something on the tornado that happened in Springfield,” Pearlman said during an interview Thursday.
The idea of making a sculpture about how the city had triumphed over the force of nature was appealing, she said.
“You don’t want to make light of it, because it’s a very serious thing,” Pearlman said, talking about how she wanted to create a work that embodied the “energy and the drama” of the storm while also not making it an uncomfortable experience for visitors.
Using the storm as a subject for Pearlman’s art is also in keeping with MGM’s overall design strategy for the casino, which has used regionally specific cultural and historical events and figures to celebrate the Pioneer Valley and bring the buildings’ interiors to life.
Pearlman began her artistic career shortly after receiving a bachelor’s of fine arts degree from Cornell University in 1996. She went on to create art that has been exhibited in galleries throughout the world, including the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City and the Manchester Art Gallery in England.
Her work has also appeared in numerous contemporary art books, and in the New York Times and Boston Globe.
Pearlman said that throughout her career, she has drawn inspiration from a number of sources, including Italian baroque artists, Japanese screen painting and, appropriately, organic forces of nature like storms and extreme weather.
Certain female sculptors have also had a real impact on her work, Pearlman said. Artists like Lygia Clark, Sheilda Hicks, and Alice Aycock have been influential. “Artists who made really crazy, over-the-top forms were always inspiring,” she said.
The production of the installation was created through a complex process. Pearlman started the MGM project by making a scale model out of paper, then scanned the model into a computer so that it could be analyzed for further production.
Those shapes are slowly transformed into a more finished, articulated form, she said.
For the MGM project, Pearlman collaborated with fabricator Polich Tallix, which has been responsible for many high-profile projects, including design for Academy Award statuettes. “They’re able to translate my paper models into these incredibly gigantic works out of steel and aluminum,” Pearlman said in a video produced about the piece.
Pearlman said she appreciates whatever interpretations visitors bring to her work.
“My favorite conversations are always with people who just were wandering by or who work in the space, and just to see what experiences they have over time or what it makes them think about,” she said.
More of Pearlman’s work can be viewed by visiting her website.

In October 2013, the London Borough of Ealing amended its scheme for the allocation of social housing, to remove 20% of available lettings from the general pool, and reserve them for ‘working households’ (those where a member of the household worked for 24 hours or more per week) and ‘model tenants’ (existing council tenants who had complied with the terms of their tenancy and were applying for a transfer). A challenge to the amended scheme was brought by two families.
The first was a family of six who were victims of domestic violence, headed up by a single mother with long standing mental health problems sufficient to render her disabled within the meaning of s6 Equality Act 2010. As a result of her disabilities and caring responsibilities she was unable to work. The second family comprised two grandparents, their daughter and her son. The daughter had significant physical disabilities including cerebral palsy, and the grandparents, who themselves had health problems, cared for both her and her son and were also unable to work.
The two families challenged the legality of the amended scheme arguing that it gave rise to unlawful discrimination against women, disabled and elderly persons contrary to ss19 and 29 Equality Act 2010; that it resulted in unlawful discrimination against women, children, disabled and elderly persons and non-council tenants contrary to Art.8 and 14 ECHR; that in adopting and maintaining the scheme, Ealing was in breach of the public sector equality duty; and that in adopting and maintaining the scheme Ealing was in breach of s11 Children Act 2004. HHJ Waksman QC allowed the claim on all grounds: see R (H) v Ealing LBC EWHC 841 (Admin).
The working households element of the scheme gave rise to indirect discrimination within the meaning of s19 Equality Act 2010. The judge had been right in this respect and had been right to reach this conclusion based on scrutiny of the particular element of the scheme that was subject to challenge, as opposed to considering the scheme as whole. However, the impact of the scheme as a whole on the various protected groups would need to be considered in deciding whether the discrimination could be justified.
The judge had been wrong to hold that this discriminatory effect could not be justified. In particular, he should not have based his conclusion that other less intrusive measures were available, upon a comparison with the allocation schemes adopted by Barnet, Bexley and Hammersmith and Fulham. Those schemes were very different to Ealing’s schemes and the provisions were not analogous. In addition, the judge had failed to consider the scheme as a whole when dealing with the issue of justification, and the various other ways in which the protected groups were given priority.
In relation to the ECHR arguments, (with Davis and Underhill LJJ expressing reservations on this point) the working households element of the scheme fell within the ambit of Art.8, since it related to the provision of accommodation to families who were not in secure accommodation already or who were not accommodated by Ealing at all. Their ‘right to permanent accommodation’ fell within the scope of ‘family life’ as protected by Art.8. Whereas, the model tenants element of the scheme, which was concerned with the transfer of secure tenants, did not relate to any of the core values which Art.8 was intended to protect.
But in any event, on the basis of the evidence before him, the judge was not entitled to conclude that the discriminatory effect of the working households and model tenants was unjustified. As with his reasoning relating to the Equality Act 2010, the judge had wrongly rested his conclusion on the allocation schemes of other local authorities which were not analogous to Ealing’s scheme.
In relation to the public sector equality duty, there was no basis for concluding that the duty had not been discharged in relation to those affected by the model tenants element of the scheme. In relation to the working households element of the scheme, there had been a failure to discharge the duty at the time the scheme was devised and implemented in 2012-13. But Ealing was in the process of carrying out a major policy review of its allocation scheme and was alive to the discrimination issues that had been raised. As such it was not appropriate to quash the scheme on this ground.
The judge had applied too exacting an approach in finding that there had been a breach of s11 Children Act 2004 and had overlooked the evidence adduced by Ealing as to the need for children to have access to stable accommodation and the proportion of lettings made to households with children led by women.
In view of the fact that the scheme was currently under review, there was no purpose to be served by remitting the issue of justification under s19 Equality Act 2010 and Art.14 ECHR for further consideration.

I just bought a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass. It needs new strings, but I know nothing about bass strings. What's is the standard gauge for bass strings? Which companies make good strings? Please help me.
I tended to buy Med/Light, 0.34 on top to light gauge D&G, IIRC. I've largely just been getting standard medium lately; DR Black Beauties.
At Moollon, Mr. Park has always sworn by nickel plated steel roundcore DRs for vintagey sounds, a kind of already warm and broken into sound that still lasts forever if you're a finger thumper. Specifically, he used DR Sunbeam 45-105s for years, but recently switched over to DR Pure Blues 45-105s. Kindly note that if you're a strong-handed wanker slapper or really heavy picker, then the roundcore might be prone to twist and warp (causing intonation issues), which is why the modern hexcore is better suited for such tossers that type of playing, though their brightness in general tends to significantly compromise vintagey old thump of nickel-plated roundcore strings.

Long-term alcohol and drug abuse significantly damages your physical and psychological health. When you’re on the road to recovery, it’s important to take measures to get yourself back into a state of well-balanced health. Developing a regular exercise routine is one effective way to give a powerful boost to your recovery process.
In the beginning, the use of alcohol and drugs triggers the body into releasing “feel good” chemicals known as endorphins. However, after a certain amount of time, abusing these substances actually inhibits your body’s ability to produce these chemicals in a natural manner. This means that you become dependent on external substances to trigger the release of endorphins. When you cease to use these substances, endorphin levels in your brain drop substantially, resulting in symptoms of depression, anxiety and intense cravings. This is one of the primary causes of recovery relapses.
If you’re embarking on the journey of sober living, creating an exercise schedule is a great way to give your body a natural dose of endorphins. By engaging in regular physical activity, your body regains the ability to produce these happy chemicals on its own. Don’t feel called to the gym? Get your exercise by spending time outdoors; join a community sports team or start hiking some local trails.
In addition to improving your brain chemistry, regular exercise creates a beneficial sense of structure in your daily life. When you commit to a workout routine, you’re giving yourself a realistic goal to achieve, and this motivates you to stay on track with your recovery. Several studies show that exercise also improves your self-esteem, reduces feelings of stress, gives you a more positive outlook and sharpens your mental faculties.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need healthy activities to stay busy with. This prevents you from relapsing into old habits or visiting old haunts. Daily exercise is perfect for filling in those time gaps when you’re feeling tempted to do something you’ll end up regretting. Get creative with your exercise – there are dozens of ways to get in a good workout. Some examples include yoga, bike riding, skate boarding, swimming and dancing. Mix up your routine to keep it fresh and interesting; this helps you maintain your commitment.

It’s been nine years since the world was introduced to BioShock. This fall, anyone that missed out, along with anyone who wants to experience it all over again will have the chance thanks to 2K Games and Irrational Games.
Call of Duty returns, was there ever any doubt? Here’s the surprising factor though – it actually looks pretty awesome this time around. The E3 trailer is what should have been shown to initially unveil this game.
Releasing this summer, I Am Setsuna aims to be the next Chrono Trigger-esque RPG from Square Enix. This new trailer definitely carries a similar vibe to that of the classic RPG from the Super Nintendo era.
Blood and Wine launches May 31st (the day after my birthday… for anyone looking to buy me stuff), and we can hear a little more about it from the team members behind the game in this new developer diary.
The new episode of HITMAN is coming on April 26th, but Square Enix has just released the new trailer for the upcoming episode. Check it out below.
