How to Protect Your Retirement Savings From Inflation
Take these steps to safeguard your finances from the impact of rising prices
By Penelope Wang
For most Americans, inflation hasn’t been a serious concern for a decade or more. Since 2008, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has generally risen less than 2 percent a year, well below its historical average of 3 percent.
But inflation is heating up, with the CPI currently running at an annual rate of 2.9 percent. Recent Labor Department data show that wage growth is strong, which could fuel further price hikes, as consumers ramp up spending.
And later this month, the Federal Reserve is expected to raise the fed funds rate, which is aimed at raising borrowing costs in order to rein in inflation. That would be the sixth rate hike in the past two years.

How to Save for Retirement When You Don't Have a 401(k)
For younger investors, inflation is not an immediate concern, because future salary growth and savings are likely to offset the impact of higher prices, says David Blanchett, head of retirement research at Morningstar Investment Management. But for anyone within a few years of retirement, or already retired, even a 1 or 2 percentage point rise in inflation can pose a risk to your financial security. Consider this analysis by Blanchett:
Say you have a portfolio that holds 60 percent in stocks and 40 percent in bonds. Also assume you earn a 5 percent annual average return, and that when you enter retirement you initially withdraw 4 percent, adjusted later for inflation that averages 2 percent annually. Over the next 25 years, your odds of retirement success—that is, not running out of money—are 85 percent.
But if inflation climbs just 1 percentage point higher, to 3 percent, your chances of success fall to 72 percent. And if inflation rises to 4 percent, your odds of success will fall to about 50-50.
Of course, no one can predict with any certainty whether inflation will soar in the next few years, or if some other financial shock lies ahead. Your best strategy is to design an all-weather retirement portfolio that can hold up under a wide range of economic conditions, including a surge in inflation, says Fran Kinniry, principal in the investment strategy group at Vanguard. Here are some timely moves to make:
Seek Higher Cash Yields
For older investors, the standard financial advice is to build up your cash savings when you reach retirement. That way, if the stock market hits a downturn, you will have cash to pay the bills, so you can avoiding tapping an already-depleted portfolio for income. Otherwise, your finances may never recover.
There’s a downside to cash, however. Despite recent rate hikes, many bank and money market accounts pay little or no interest. So the more cash you hold, the more you lose in purchasing power to inflation. “Being too cautious can cost you,” says Lou Stanasolovich, founder of Legend Financial Advisors in Pittsburgh.
But if you shop around, you can find higher-yielding options for your savings, particularly at online banks or credit unions. Some online banks are paying 2 percent or more on savings and money market accounts, which can at least help minimize losses to inflation, Stanasolovich says.
You can go to online sites, such as Bankrate.com or NerdWallet.com, to see which institutions offer appealing rates. And for more strategies on identifying places to put your cash, check out the advice here.
Keep Stocks in Your Asset Mix
It's essential to hold a significant portion of your portfolio in stocks for growth. As Morningstar data show, since World War II the S&P 500 stock index has returned 11.1 percent, which is 7 percentage points more than the CPI. Even if future returns don't match those gains (more on that below), equities are still likely to outperform other assets over the long term.
Of course, you also need bonds in your portfolio, because these issues provide an income cushion during market downturns. But when rates rise, bonds fall in price, which makes them tricky to own in times of inflation, Stanasolovich says. That’s why holding a balanced portfolio—one that holds a mix of stocks and bonds—is the best way to navigate changing economic cycles.
“A 50-50 stock and bond mix, which gives you growth and income, is a good starting point for retirees,” Blanchett says. Still, you will want to customize your asset mix, based on your individual financial situation. You can find advice on designing a retirement portfolio here.
Add Some TIPS
There’s no perfect hedge against rising prices, but Treasury inflation protected securities, or TIPS, come pretty close. “TIPs are the only investment that is guaranteed to track inflation," says Vanguard's Kinniry.
With TIPS, the bond’s principal value is adjusted every six months to keep up with inflation, as measured by the CPI. You can invest in TIPS through mutual funds or exchange traded funds (ETFs). You can also buy individual bonds at TreasuryDirect.gov.
Like regular bonds, TIPS' prices can rise in fall or rise in response to interest rate changes, which often don't move in sync with inflation. That's why Kinniry recommends that those in or near retirement invest a portion of their fixed-income stake in a short-term TIPS fund.
“With their shorter maturities, these funds are very quick to react to inflation,” Kinniry says. Short-term TIPS funds are also less volatile than their longer-maturity peers when interest rates are moving up and down.
The Vanguard Retirement Income fund (VTINX), which is designed for investors in retirement, recently held 25 percent of its fixed-income stake in a short-term TIPS fund.
Choose a Realistic Withdrawal Strategy
When it comes to choosing how much income to pull from their portfolios, many retirees have relied on the 4 percent rule, which was used in the example above. It’s a strategy that has worked in many past market cycles.
But what’s worked historically may not work in the future. After a long-running bull market, stock returns are likely to be lower in the future, and bonds may lag as interest rates rise, Blanchett says. That's why he recommends that cautious retirees may want to start with a 3 percent withdrawal rate.
If that seems too low for your needs, you can start with 4 percent, Blanchett says, but you'll need to remain flexible and be willing to skip inflation adjustments if the market drops.
There is some good news, though. Your Social Security payments are adjusted for the cost of living each year based on the CPI. And thanks to inflation, the next Social Security COLA, which will be announced in October, may be larger than in recent years. Once in a while, inflation can work in your favor.

Olives beyond Tuscany. Buffalo Return To Toons Bridge
Olives beyond Tuscany. Mozzarella beyond Italy.
Toby Simmonds Tells Two Stories.
Nyons olives, via wikipedia
Toby Simmonds, telling us about The Real Olive Company and Toons Bridge Dairy, was the star of the show as the Munster Wine & Dine Circle launched it's 2018 programme at a packed L’Atitude last Thursday.
The gathering may have been expecting a genteel tasting of his imported olives and his Toonsbridge Irish cheese; well they got that, and much more, with Toby pointing out the snobbishness surrounding olive oil, the very limited varieties available in the supermarkets (like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in wine and not too much else), the overuse of caustic soda (the Spanish Cure) in olives. And his cheese story is just as interesting.
Took this pic of a very old olive tree in the Charente in 2009
Toby came into a challenging scene when, with the aid of a three figure loan, he started off here in 1993. But since then farmers markets have taken off in a big way, the English Market stall has been and is a huge success for him and partner Jenny Rose Clark (Jenny Rose also runs the Sandwich Stall in the market).
The snobbery comes across often at a market. “Is those olives from Tuscany?” When the answer is no, the potential customer walks away. Toby sees this as “missing the point” and something of an insult to all those communities around the Mediterranean who take their olives seriously and produce “good stuff”.
And, as regards the limited choice now available in the supermarkets, he says that that diversity is everything. “Olives present a great story”. By way of illustration then showed a slide of himself and a 4,000 year old olive tree. “That same variety is growing as a five year old in the grove across the road.”
So then we got down to the business of tasting a string of his olives, starting with the Kalamata from the centre of Greece. As we moved on, he mentioned the overuse of caustic side in curing. “A little bit is fine. But too much takes the goodness out of the olives. It is happening all the time.” The green Picholine olives from France, though now grown all over the world, have a “little bit of caustic soda” in their cure, were among the samples we tasted.
Toby's Burrata
Others in the tasting were the Galega (my favourite on the night) from Portugal’s Alentejo, the very expensive Nyons variety from Provence, the dry and wrinkly Beldi (“will be even better in three years time”), and the little baby olives which Toby finds hard to sell outside of Cork where it is a firm favourite, not least with the kids.
Then we were on to the amazing Toons Bridge cheese story, a story that saw them “in crisis” just a few years after the original Buffalo/Mozzarella partnership ended in “divorce”. Flying in frozen buffalo milk from Italy wasn't a success but new cheesemaker Franco then turned up with a local solution and made it from cows milk.
A key factor in Mozzarella is the whey starter (“a bit like sourdough”); yesterday's whey is used as a starter the very next day.” The starter is essential for texture and flavour and the Mozzarella is the same as you get from Italy.
Cheese plate by Toons Bridge at L'Atitude
So the Toons Bridge cheese story goes on and the good news is that they now have their own little herd of 22 young buffalo with another twenty on the way - you'll have to wait a while for this herd's cheese though. Currently, Mozzarella (from cows milk) is delivered fresh to their English Market stall on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Eat it at home as soon as you can, maybe even eat it on the bus on the way home! It is not meant to be kept!
The challenge presented by that crisis though has turned into an opportunity. With no fresh buffalo milk available to them anymore, Toons Bridge have creatively filled the gap by adding a string of gorgeous Italian style cheeses to their range.
One is Caciocavallo. This can age marvellously, turning the soft, rubbery paste so hard and flinty that it needs to be broken in shards. The flavours can be huge, as they harness all of the various raw milk bacteria to ripen the curd. This cheese was made by the ancient Greeks and they got it from the Babylonians. “It is one of the oldest in history.”
Olives trees. Took this shot from the spectacular fortified site of Les Baux in Provence
They also do Halloumi and Ricotta (try with Highbank Orchard Syrup). And then there’s the Pecorino Vincenzo. Pecorino is the general name for sheep’s cheese in Italy. This pecorino is made in Toons Bridge by Vincenzo to a family recipe from his native Marche region.
Vincenzo has a small flock of sheep and he make this gorgeous Pecorino right here. Another must try from this rural hub of creativity, imagination and passion and, every now and then, a little bit of well deserved luck!
Another of their cheeses is Scamorza which is a simple stretched curd cheese that is hung (you can see the mark of the string) for a short period of time to air dry. It is similar to mozzarella and melts well. It is sweet and delicate. They do both smoked and unsmoked versions and I must say I enjoy the smoked one (great when stuffing those big flat mushrooms) or, as Toby suggested at the tasting, “..it is great in a sandwich, like hanging out with gypsies”.
Cheeses, mainly Caciocavallo, in Toons Bridge
The enthusiasm is amazing. They are a long ways from finished here. More cheeses on the horizon. Keep a look out in the near future for the Toons Bridge Cardoon Cheese, featuring a flowering vegetable used in cheeses in Spain and Portugal. From the Med to Macroom, the links keep growing.
So big thanks to Toby for his amazing talk. Thanks to Andrew O’Dwyer of Market Place for supplying the Prosecco and to L’Atitude for the canapés.
Munster Wine & Dine Chair Eithne Barry filled us in on what is in store for the year. First event, on March 24th, is a Wine Trail (led by Colm McCan and with tastings!) around the historic streets of Cork, stopping at various places associated with wine, including the old bond.
There will be some long distance tours during the summer, nearby producers too to visit, before the finalé, a tour and Sunday lunch in Longueville House, an incredible experience when we visited three years back.
Lots to look forward to in the months head. So do join up (application form here) and enjoy.

TODAY’S SONG: FREEDOM & LOSS IN JANELLE MONÁE’S “CRAZY, CLASSIC, LIFE”
Original here, archived below!
Same World, Different Eyes
The music video for Janelle Monáe’s “Crazy, Classic, Life” premiered recently, the next chapter in her continuing concept album epic. And the saga just keeps improving. Many have focused on Dirty Computer’s personal valence – Monáe’s art as someone with intersecting identities as black woman, pansexual – and these are valid angles. But “Crazy, Classic, Life” is a clear confrontation of American identity and the ways it still has yet to metabolise its own ugliness and recognize the humanity of black, or otherwise minority (non-white heterosexual) Americans. “Crazy, Classic, Life” is at once a celebration of humanity, and a vigil for people lost to inhumanity.
Monáe’s The Archandroid set off a series of ambitious albums for the polymath celebrity, all set in a dystopian sci-fi universe with hovercars, androids, and most importantly, music. It’s the kind of project premise you’d normally hear from an artist like Rush, or any of their prog-rock contemporaries. Then you’d roll your eyes a bit because the tracklist shows a hard rock version of Schubert’s Trio in Eb Major and makes heavy handed references to continental philosophy.
Over the past 8 years, Monáe’s studio albums have given new life to the idea of a “concept album.” Instead of the awkward pretentiousness of concept albums past, Dirty Computer and its predecessors are powerful, whole cloth statements from an auteur with a singular vision and musical ethos. Monáe is upfront – at times confrontationally so – about her themes and thoughts, while still having enough subtlety and “oh, I just got that” asides that make the album. These elements together make “Crazy, Classic, Life” feel like an organic product of Monáe’s musical and directorial aptitude.
The album is a continuation of her universe, though it changes focus from her alter-ego, Cindi Mayweather aka The Archandroid. Monáe takes full advantage of the changeup. Sonically, Dirty Computer is more accessible than her previous albums, comes complete with an “emotion picture”, and introduces stunning visual direction in her music videos.
The video for “Crazy, Classic, Life” specifically focuses on a group of humans, among them Monáe and her real life paramour Tessa Thompson. We know from Monáe’s previous albums that her universe is deeply stratified along class divisions, with the wealthy experiencing untold luxury while an underclass of workers struggles to make it by.
The video reiterates that fact immediately as a cop-drone interrupts our protagonists’ joy ride to check identification. In case it wasn’t obvious enough that the drone is an agent of a tyrannical oligarchy, it makes some not-so-subtle Darth Vader breathing noises, seemingly ripped straight out of the original Star Wars film. Monáe and Tessa Thompson ooze confidence, flipping their IDs up like middle fingers.
Some tense moments later, the drone flies away. Monáe and Thomson open the trunk of their car, releasing a group of immaculately costumed black women, presumably in-universe fugitives.
Then the song starts in earnest with a huge, sermon like spoken word section, “You told us we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal…” All of this is delivered over the faces of unconventional people. Be it skin color, tattoos, or otherwise, the combined visual-aural cues make it clear they’re unwanted in society. In fact, the scene is a flash forward to the end of the video, which makes these themes even more explicit.
The majority of the video for “Crazy, Classic, Life” focuses on human moments of joy, of these rejected humans enjoying themselves in an environment where, against all odds, they are free. Weird cliques of David Bowie doubles, witch-like people in cloaks, and Monáe’s own singular posse populate the party.
Verses are lush, with stellar production and a tight beat, while the pre-chorus grows like bamboo to an absolutely elated chorus. Monáe’s lyricism shines here too: she shifts effortlessly from sung vocals to rap, from joyous freedom to incisive criticism. A beautiful example of the latter:
We don’t need another ruler
All of my friends are kings
I’m not America’s nightmare
I’m the American dream
Just let me live my life
A wildly superficial take would see this as a blunt criticism of Trump – and it is – but broadly Monáe desires more than freedom from a single avatar of reaction, she wants to be her own king, and she wants that freedom for everyone.
Well, actually she already considers herself free, as should be obvious from someone as confrontationally fearless as Janelle. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she said so explicitly, “Being a queer black woman in America, someone who has been in relationships with both men and women – I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker.”
The video ends on a dark note though. Police squads storm the party, seemingly showing that even if free spaces exist for those rejected by society, these spaces themselves don’t exist in a vacuum and are precious. One of the other prominent characters from the video sacrifices himself to de-arrest Monáe, only to end up on his knees (as in Monáe’s lyrics: “I don’t wanna live on my knees”) with others lined up next to him as if at the mercy of a firing squad.
The video is largely cut from the emotion picture for Dirty Computer, but it stands up in its own right. Check it out below!

FELIX CARTAL: “NEXT SEASON” ALBUM REVIEW
Dim Mak, Steve Aoki's insurgent EDM label, is an odd place to find an artist that got their start in a hardcore punk band that named Refused, No Flag, and the Mars Volta as influences. But that's nonetheless the label Felix Cartal calls home, and his most recent album, Next Season, represents the apotheosis of his shift as a musician.
The Felix himself.
Even his previous albums under the name Felix Cartal had a different sound. 2010's Popular Music was a dirty electronic record, the beats swift and unrelenting. EDM's characteristic and oft-demanded drops hadn't yet calcified in the pop-music imagination, so what we got was a record more at home in a dank European discotek than a rave-trodden American field.
Far from the earnest, sweat-soaked hardcore scene, Cartal's Next Season nestles easily in a pristine, immaculately produced EDM culture. It's no less earnest and sweat-soaked for it though. Between the gauntlet of guest artists and Cartal's throbbing beats, precipitous drops, and hungover ballads, there's a lot to love here. Some parts of the album left me wanting, but Next Season, a clear nod to Cartal's changing sound, is a skillfully produced, fun EDM record that will do its job unerringly–it will make you dance.
Next Season starts out with "Stop Being Yourself," a linguistic sucker punch of a title and, for that matter, a verse. Gabrielle Current guides us through the verse and bridge, her voice tender, fluid. She sings, "Keep me in boxes/Leavin' me locked in/They're really saying/'Don't be you,'" a call for individuality that flirts with being on the nose. A few bars later, we hear her echoing the voice of the mob, "Just give up/No need to exist," not a call for literal suicide as such, but for the death of individuality.
One dropped beat later breaks the thematic cage, setting us–and the listener vibing along–free.
DOWN BEATS
The next major beat on the album is "Down For You," featuring Veronica, an emerging artist from Toronto, Canada. The song breaks with the first chunk of the album substantially, introducing some acoustic guitar and focusing heavily on Veronica's vocal performance. Six songs in, it's a welcome change for anyone listening to the album cover-to-cover.
Lyrically, "Down For You" breaks significantly with the EDM cliché, the insistence of eternal triumph, never coming down from the last high, always ascending. Aside from being a welcome change of pace on Next Season in isolation, "Down For You" breaks the taxing work of always searching for the next big high, and the next dizzying drop afterward. "I'm down for you/Cause I'm feelin' high/Can you take me low/" and its theamatic couplet "Every time you come around/You sing the same old tunes/And everybody's talkin' 'bout how you only love you" could be addressed at a stagnating musical moment for EDM.
"Everything Is Fine," a minor toned number featuring REGN and her dark-timeline cheerleader chant of the title, articulates the same fatigue. "Listen/let me in your head/Within/Carve a space that I can live in/And begin again" takes the metaphor of a romantic relationship–familiar vocabulary for EDM songs–and works it into a criticism, if a loving one.
My personal favorite song on the album is "Runaway," again featuring REGN. "Runaway" feels like a direct answer to "Everything is Fine," as REGN laments, "I hid behind a cheap facade/Yeah I sing a couple oohs and aahs." One "fuck it" later, and she's a runaway. The whole song is a burn track at a nebulous "them," but given the context of the album there's a clear target–a scene.
It's almost impossible not to enjoy listening to Next Season through it's 18-track onslaught of crisp beats, pristine production, and strong vocal performances. I found myself, though, wanting Cartal to take more risks. For an album whose central premise seems to be frustration at a scene on the verge of–or even in the midst of–stagnation, Next Season doesn't give as big a "fuck it" as REGN might suggest. More tonal variation and some more complex lyricism for the already strong vocalists would go a long way. Fitting that into a still-accessible package in the format would be a challenge, but one I'm confident Felix Cartal is up to.
Still, I think the album holds up not just in isolation, but as an album within the context of a greater EDM scene. Cartal produced a colossus here, and I'm looking forward to more of his work! His skill and talent speak for themselves. Listen to the whole album here.

How I Missed Out on Ruling the World
Dan Rattiner July 21, 2011
So here’s what we’ve learned so far about the grip that British newspapers have held over the government, up until now.
The press not only hides in the bushes, leaps out to take embarrassing pictures, eavesdrops on conversations, taps phones and steals answering machine messages from everyone—absent any privacy for anybody—they do these outrageous things to get a sleazy story without the slightest concern that anybody is going to stop them. They’ve pretty much terrorized all the government officials.
How could this be? Well, it’s ENGLAND! Those running the country present themselves as the very epitome of proper society—genteel, civilized, moral, forthright—and they will do anything, it seems, to keep from being embarrassed.
So the tabloid media eats them for lunch. The media does favors for the Prime Minister, pays off the police, and whatever else is needed to get the ruling class to hand over juicy details for their articles. Those that don’t cooperate get threats, issued in private, both veiled and unveiled. And then, if they still don’t come around, there comes the inevitable negative stories about the politician in the papers, together with awful pictures of them looking really ugly, together with commentary about their wayward behavior. [expand]
Here’s my favorite story of what happens to British politicians if they don’t cooperate.
About five years ago, a somewhat overweight middle-aged Member of Parliament, Clare Short, commented to somebody during a TV show that something ought to be done about all the porn and filth that appears in some of the country’s tabloid newspapers. She particularly objected to the tasteless photos of young topless women that appear on page 3 every day, a tradition in England for as long as anybody can remember.
Here’s what happened to Clare Short.
The next morning, she and the rest of England woke up to the following headline on the front page of The Sun, which Rupert Murdoch owns: “‘Fat, Jealous Clare Brands Page 3 Porn.”
Below it was a picture of Clare Short’s head pasted on the neck of a very attractive young topless woman.
The newspaper did not publish a whole photograph of Clare Short though. She is, or was until that time, quite well known throughout the country and so that was not necessary. Everybody knows what she looks like.
But the newspaper did not stop at that. Later in the day, a busload of beautiful young women came to Clare Short’s home in Birmingham to protest her comments about toplessness. They strutted around topless. Photographers from the newspaper took photos of them. A reporter interviewed several people on the street who said they “liked” seeing women topless in the newspaper. Another reporter interviewed one of the topless women who identified herself as Nicola McLean, age 22.
“Even Clare has boobs,” she said, “but obviously she’s not proud of them like we are of ours.”
Thus ended Clare Short’s short public career.
The English press’s attack on privacy knows no bounds. One writer reportedly confessed to erasing a teenage girl’s phone messages when they were “full” so the teenager could get more for him to read. And, most shockingly, and this is what started this scandal, there is the report that a newspaper obtained the telephone messages of a 13-year-old girl who was subsequently murdered to see what they could make of them.
But you know what? As a journalist in America, I have secretly wondered—don’t tell anybody—what it would feel like to laud it over everybody. I’ve been an upstanding journalist for all these years. I feel left out!
I might disagree with Southampton Mayor Mark Epley. I could headline: MAYOR EPLEY WEARS RED UNDERSHORTS if he ignored me and if one of my minions photographed him picking up a pair of them at Kmart in Bridgehampton. WHAT’S HE HIDING?
Then the next day, I could get a phone call from the Supervisor of East Hampton begging me to understand that the young woman another of my minions had photographed him squiring around with in downtown Montauk was actually his daughter.
“I could send you her birth certificate!” he will cry.
I could save the beaches, preserve the wildlife, rebuild historic sites, hold band concerts, raise money for the poor, have more sandcastle competitions, and on the Fourth of July have the biggest damn fireworks show at Main Beach ever.
It would be nice.
On second thought—and this is in real life—you know what I just did? I went online and downloaded the form I need to fill out from the Freedom of Information people down in Washington to get the contents of “the file” that the FBI has on me, if they have a file on me.
What if they DON’T have a file on me? Could that possibly be true? I’ve spent 51 years now editing this newspaper, shaking the trees as best I can, trying to help out here and there, taking stands where I think it’s important, telling jokes I’ve liked and otherwise making a fool of myself.
If the FBI says there IS no file on me, can I believe them? Who says you can believe the FBI? Well, I could always call Rupert Murdoch’s people. Isn’t it true Rupert was “spotted” sitting in a café in Sag Harbor the other day?
Did you hear that noise? [/expand]

Curry County Voices silenced
By Boyd C. Allen
Gold Beach Rotary Foundation and Curry County Voices (CCV) President Carl King said censorship is behind the county cutting ties with his group.
Without citing specific costs or county administrative duties associated with CCV, the Curry County Board of Commissioners (BOC) voted Wednesday to revoke its contract with CCV. Commissioner Sue Gold alone voted not to sever ties with the group.
The action takes effect 60 days after the county serves written notice.
Commission Chair Chris Paasch and County Counsel John Huttl said they were cutting ties because Brandt Media and CCV were duplicating services and using one provider — Brandt Media — would streamline operations and be more efficient.
When King said the county would be paying Brandt Media for what CCV did for free and the county was telling untruths to serve a political agenda, Paasch gavelled him to silence and threatened to have him removed by a deputy.
Huttl said PEG revenues come to the county and therefore are part of its budget, and added Brandt Media and CCV were both producing content for the county’s public-access channel, and the county would work more efficiently with only one producer.
Brandt Media representative Charles Douglas said Brandt Media provides government content and access while CCV provides other content and services. He said adding other services to Brandt’s responsibilities would require an entirely new agreement with the county.
Paasch and County Director of Operations Julie Schmelzer originally said Brandt Media supported the county’s move to revoke its contract with CCV in earlier meetings. But Douglas, who participated by phone Wednesday, said the company was “neutral” concerning the deal.
On its website, CCV called itself “a group of community members and students who work together to produce government and education programs to be viewed on Charter Cable Channel 182 under a permit granted by the Curry County Board of Commissioners. The group is administered by the Gold Beach Rotary Foundation, a non-profit Oregon corporation or 501-C-3.” It’s not clear what role the group will have now that its permit has been revoked.
Documents provided by CCV said the group raised money on its own through the Rotary Club and foundation and also used PEG funds to pay for its activities.
PEG — public, education and government — funds are paid to the county through a 50-cent charge to cable TV subscribers. The county then decides how to use those funds to operate public-access cable channels dedicated to government and educational programming. PEG funds can also be used for various types of purchases related to production and programming for public-access channels.
King said the county revoked its contract with CCV — and its access to PEG funds — because commissioners Paasch and Court Boice and Huttl had unsuccessfully attempted to censor CCV programming on Channel 182 by asking him to edit out comments made by U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley at a town hall meeting in May. CCV videotaped and aired the town hall without the requested cuts.
Merkley’s comments included criticism of President Donald Trump.
In emails to King, Paasch asked, “. . . if there were any plans to air anything political? I just want to make sure if something is aired for a particular party there is also programming for other party affiliations. I am sure you will be looking to put Senator Merkley’s town hall on the channel. I have received several phone calls that many in the County found some of his comments extremely offensive, especially his comments on the President of our Nation. I would hope you would find it in the best interest of our citizens that any and all of those type comments would be edited out.”
A later email from Boice to King said, “Someone filmed Senator Merkley’s Port Orford Town Hall recently and I’m wondering if that will or was included in the Curry Voices Programming? . . . he (Merkley) did have a couple of comments directed at the ‘loyal opposition’ and disagreements that would in my view give a political perception. Mr. Merkley has every right to do that — just the rules we have to follow.
“I have supported all your efforts to help offer solid Public Education through the Curry Voices -- P.E.G. Television Programing, but it legally cannot be political and I’m sure you fully agree.”
Huttl said in an email to King he would remind commissioners they do not have editorial control.
“However, Carl, I did find some FCC regulations on political speech which raise complications,” he said. “So if you can, please stay away from political comments from Merkley. Again, I don’t see this as editorial control, just trying to stay within government and educational.”
King responded to Huttl saying he would not edit or censor comments made by a U.S. senator, and in another response to the county, he noted that CCV’s permit with the county, “provides that Curry County Voices is fully and completely responsible for all of our programming and that the County has no editorial control over, involvement in or responsibility for the content of our programming.”
He said CCV would refuse content that it believed obscene, but noted nothing that occurred at the town hall fit that description.
Saying CCV would provide a like-forum for any state representatives who would like to hold a town hall, King added, “We would do the same for any elected official serving the residents of the county. We would not edit or censor any of their remarks, and we will not edit or censor the remarks of a U.S. senator at a town hall held to keep county residents informed of his views on the happenings in the nation’s capital.”
In other emails, Huttl and King go back and forth about the definition of educational programming with Huttl seeming to limit educational programming to information taught in approved curricula at institutions. For instance, he instructed King that a program including information from a book used at a college is acceptable while airing a question-and-answer period with the author might not be acceptable.
“I believe because the book has been on curriculum it is educational material,” Huttl said. “The issue is that what you are proposing is not the book but some level of Q&A, which I am not aware of any institution of higher education allowing this Q&A as credit toward a degree.”
King said no one from the county had contacted him with any concerns about duplicating services with Brandt Media, costs for CCV services or administrative issues.
Paasch, Boice and Huttl did not mention programming conflicts or the Merkley issue in discussions prior to the vote, but all three favored cutting ties with CCV, with Paasch and Boice voting to do so.
Paasch said after the meeting that programming and the Merkley issue had nothing to do with the decision to revoke the contract. He said King and his group could still put content on the channel but would have to go through Brandt Media to do so. He was unsure how the county would or could provide services like time for video editing or classes or where the equipment would be stored.
Gold and Boice did not respond to calls and emails requesting comments or clarifications for this article.
Huttl said, “First, we did not revoke the permit with Curry County Voices based on anything to do with Senator Merkley’s Town Hall. That is a complete red herring on the part of Curry County Voices.”
The county did communicate with King its concerns that equal time would be given for all political viewpoints, as per law, according to Huttl. But, after King gave his assurances, there was nothing further on that topic.
“The county enjoys a good relationship with Sen. Merkley,” he said, “and staff in no way agrees with Mr. King’s assertion.”
The county intends to handle the equipment storage and check-out in-house, Huttl said. And it intends to continue classes and trainings with the support of Brandt Media.
According to Huttl, Gold Beach, Brookings and Port Orford can have their meetings recorded and broadcast by arrangement as well.
Brookings-Harbor High School teacher Dane Tippman called CCV an outstanding asset to the Brookings-Harbor School District, adding it provided valuable professional development to teachers, and an equipment checkout system that expanded what the school was able to offer students.
“CCV was always eager to provide support for our local student learning projects,” he said, “and regularly offered job-specific training aimed at high school students which we hoped to take advantage of this Summer break.”
A letter from the Gold Beach Rotary Club to the BOC expressed support for CCV and asked commissioners to do anything they could to “to support the continued vitality of Curry County Voices.”
The group said it had raised $4,000 to support CCV and members had continued to donate funding and time since 2017. It noted a wide-range of programming it offered to the county including Bruin News features by Brookings-Harbor High School students; drug prevention training for parents; lectures and interviews with non- fiction and fiction writers; programs on healthy and inexpensive ways to prepare meals and community forums.
Curry County Economic Development Coordinator and Gold Beach City Councilor Summer Matteson supported CCV as well saying it had been airing Gold Beach City Council meetings for citizens who could not attend. She said continuing that service was “super important.”

@DNTripSports
Early in the week anglers were having lots of luck on the ocean with pleantiful bottomfishing to go along with a few Pacific halibut and Chinook salmon hauled in on both sides of the California-Oregon border. But as the winds started to pick up later in the week catches have been more difficult to come by.
Meanwhile, the Rogue Bay has been pretty quiet this week after a couple salmon were hauled in, in one day the previous week.
Until the wind dies down sportfishermens best bet to land a fish is probably surf perch fishing from the beach.
This time of year there are lots of fishing options for anglers on the ocean, and all of the fisheries were producing at least a few catches this week before the wind picked up.
Anglers targeting ocean salmon are still catching a lot more fish than they can keep with lots of shakers (salmon smaller than the minimum length requirement) and silvers. Still, there have been reports of at least a few Chinook large enough to keep hauled in out of both Brookings and Crescent City.
Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing said there were a few Chinook caught about five miles out from Brookings when he went out this week, but the best fishing was about 10 miles out, roughly 50 feet below the surface.
Coho, or silvers, have been much easier to come by on the Wild Rivers Coast, but they are still off limits on both sides of the border. Coho salmon are off limits all year in California, but the season will open up to sportfishermen in Oregon starting on June 22.
Martin said if conditions persist until next Saturday, anglers should have no problem catching limits of Coho when the season opens.
Martin also said the Chinook salmon has remained strong out of Eureka, which has been catching lots of salmon since the season opened. Martin said the Chinook fishing also started to pick up out of Trinidad this week, which he said will likely lead to increased salmon numbers in Crescent City soon.
The Pacific halibut bite has also been fair this week with a few hauled in out of both Brookings and Crescent City throughout the week. To the south the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has projected 348 pounds of Pacific halibut have been hauled in, bringing the season total in California to 5,104. That leaves roughly 83 percent of the quota available. In Brookings the Pacific halibut quota is rarely reached. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has reported a total of 585 pounds of the Southern Oregon
Coast’s sub-quota landed as of June 9. That still leaves 10,737 pounds remaining, or about 95 percent of the quota.
Of course the most consistent ocean fishing in the area has been bottomfishing with lots of lingcod and rockfish being hauled in whenever the weather cooperates.
Unfortunately, the winds that chased anglers off the ocean later in the week are predicted to stick around until at least mid-week next week. So it will likely be a few days before the ocean calms back down for fishermen.
When the wind picks up enough to keep boats off the water, anglers may choose to head to the beach to target surf perch, which is also producing well in Southern Oregon and Northern California.
River fishing
Although there were signs that the Rogue Bay may start producing salmon last week, the fishing has remained slow to nonexistent this week. Martin said although the weather is hot inland, releases from dams on the river are keeping the water on the cool side.

Students occupy campus building during 50th anniversary of Free Speech Movement
Gibor Basri, vice chancellor for equity and inclusion, to step down at end of academic year
UC Berkeley’s Black Student Union released a list of demands Wednesday, directed at Chancellor Nicholas Dirks, in an effort to effect institutional change and improve the condition of black students on campus.
The demands consist of 10 proposals to improve both the recruitment and retention of black students at UC Berkeley, such as the creation of a resource center for black student development and the hiring of two full-time, black admissions staff members. These proposals come amid various efforts to improve campus climate, including an initiative to increase the numbers of black students, faculty and senior staff, among other goals, which is currently under development by campus administrators.
The demands are tied to dialogue initiated between Dirks and the union after the hanging of effigies depicting apparent lynchings on campus in December, according to BSU member Cori McGowens.
Members of the union met with Dirks and Claude Steele, the executive vice chancellor and provost, Feb. 13, when they presented their demands. They discussed the issues again with Steele and Gibor Basri, the vice chancellor for equity and inclusion, in March.
In a letter to the union’s co-chair of political affairs, Dirks addressed both meetings, noting that the campus is hiring a full-time position to coordinate bridges — a coalition of student-run recruitment and retention centers — in addition to hiring a student-athlete development adviser who works mostly with black athletes.
“Too many students have told us about being excluded from study groups, ignored during class discussions … and feeling, in a general sense, vulnerable, isolated, and invisible,” Dirks wrote in the letter. “This is something we deplore.”
BSU members, though, expressed disappointment that Dirks did not address each individual demand and that his response came a few days after the deadline they set, according to a press release.
In crafting solutions, McGowens said, the BSU is consulting a variety of members from the UC Berkeley black community. Black students made up about 3 percent of fall freshman enrollment on campus, according to campus enrollment data.
In addition to plans related to the bridges program and black student-athletes, their specific proposals also included the hiring of two permanent full-time, black psychologists on campus and the renaming of Barrows Hall — currently named after a former UC president whom the release described as “an imperialist by way of anthropology.”
Whereas steps outlined by the chancellor’s letter include funding for Getting into Graduate School, a program designed to encourage students to apply to graduate school, the BSU demands doubling its budget.
“We found both the Feb. 13 and March 6 meetings to be positive,” the press release read. “(But) the response we received did not adequately address our concerns — rather Chancellor Dirks circumvented having to directly respond to each of our demands as we had requested.”
Basri said he is seeking feedback from multiple parties to help craft the initiative, including the ASUC president and Graduate Assembly, and that it is not the right time in the process to be saying yes or no definitively to particular ideas.
“We greatly appreciate the input of the students through this venue and through other venues,” Basri said. “I really do want to partner with the whole campus community in defining the way this finally looks.”
Basri, who is stepping down this year, said he aims to draft a full proposal by mid-April to present to the chancellor for further consideration.
The BSU wanted, though, more details from the administration. They requested another response by the chancellor by Tuesday and that their proposals be implemented within the next few months.
Moving forward, McGowens said she foresees the possibility of peaceful protest to support the union’s goals.
“Our goal is to mobilize more support,” she said. “We want to make sure black students understand they’re not alone.”

Breckenridge troll Isak Heartstone reopens with new look in new location
Nicole Miller/Summit Daily
Isak Heartstone, by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, sits in the new site along Illinois Creek Monday June 24, in Breckenridge.
Hugh Carey/Summit Daily
BRECKENRIDGE — Breckenridge’s beloved trail troll, Isak Heartstone, is ready to receive visitors at his new home.
The 15-foot tall wooden sculpture reopened to the public Tuesday after closing in fall 2018 when nearby residents complained about too much traffic and noise from thousands of visitors.
“Its popularity was beyond all exceptions,” Breckenridge town manager Rick Holman said. “That’s why we felt it was important to bring it back.”
After it was dismantled, artist Thomas Dambo reimagined the troll — using its original head, heart, hands and feet — and rebuilt it in May in a new location near the Stephen C. West Ice Arena and Illinois Gulch trailhead.
The celebration is the culmination of months of planning by a relocation committee and trail work by the town’s open space and trails department.
“We put together a community committee … to find a new location for the troll to bring him back in some reimagined form,” Breckenridge Open Space and Trails manager Anne Murphy said.
The committee — which was composed of Breckenridge residents, town council members and town employees — worked to find a location that was accessible and adventurous, offered an outdoor experience for visitors and could sustain a high amount traffic. The committee also searched for a site that had parking and no residential areas nearby.
The new site “checked all the boxes for us,” Holman said.
The new directional Trollstigen trail — which was built by a six-person team from the trails department along with a local contractor — features a rock-lined path, 200 feet of wooden boardwalk and a flagstone area in front of the troll for photos and selfies, Murphy said.
Isak Heartstone, created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, sits in the new site along Illinois Creek on Monday, June 24, in Breckenridge.
“We decided this trail has to sustain a lot of foot traffic for a very long time to come,” Murphy said.
She said the town hopes to keep Isak for as long as possible, planning for a 10-year timeframe.
Holman described the new viewing area as “unbelievable,” saying town staff went above and beyond in creating Isak’s new home.
“I don’t think anyone ever dreamed it would be as popular as it was,” he said.

Moffat County and Craig take stands against domestic violence
News | October 1, 2015
Moffat County Commissioner watches Kimberly Merrick from Advocates Crisis Support Services release purple balloons representing the frequency of domestic violence against women.
In an effort to bring attention to the issue of domestic violence, Advocates Crisis Support Services invited community members to join in a national moment of silence for victims Thursday morning in Craig.
During the one minute moment of silence outside of Moffat County Courthouse, a purple balloon was released every nine seconds to illustrate the fact that every nine seconds a woman is battered or abused.
“Watching the balloons this morning made me think of the lives that they represent and how sad it is to see someone perhaps cut off from other people, someone who’s afraid, someone who maybe has lost hope,” said Moffat County Commissioner John Kinkaid.
According to stats from Craig Police Department, there have been 270 domestic violence calls to law enforcement so far in 2015.
After responding to a domestic violence call, Craig police officers work closely with Advocates to ensure the victims are receiving the help they need to feel safe, Sgt. John Forgay said.
This includes giving the victim pamphlets, calling Advocates and taking them to a safe house if necessary.
In addition to a 24-hour crisis line, Advocates offers support, safe shelter, judicial advocacy, personal advocacy, counseling and many more confidential services at no cost to clients.
“The number thing is just to take a stand against any kind of violence, realize that violence is never OK,” said Kathy Bockelman, interim director of Advocates.
Organizations like Take a Stand are helping reinforce that idea with events like the moment of silence it hosted in Washington, D.C., at the Capitol Thursday.
“We ask you to take a stand with us for those seven women abused every minute, 400 women abused every hour and 10,000 women abused every day,” states a news release from Take a Stand inviting communities to participate in the minute of silence.
Bockelman said community members could help advocates by referring victims, donating money or volunteering their time. Monetary donations can be made to Moffat County United WayMoffat County United Way, she said., she said.
Moffat County United Way, she said.
“I’m so glad we live in a community and county where people do care and we have organizations like Advocates to come alongside people who are in need of help,” Kinkaid said.
Advocates is hosting an educational event about domestic violence from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 22 at the Clarion Inn & Suites.
The organization is also looking for a new executive director. Former director Sharon Farquhar left Advocates this summer, and Bockelman is acting as interim director until a replacement is found.
For more information visit Advocates on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/acsscraig/info/?tab=page_info
Domestic violence can be reported to the 24-hour hotline by dialing (970) 824-2400.

WRITE ACROSS SUSSEX: Art forms
Write Across Sussex
by Andrea Hargreaves
Another entry in our Write Across Sussex competition.
I don’t know if you’ve ever accidentally urinated on the closed lid of a toilet but the sensation is initially warm and comforting – rather like peeing in a wetsuit – but the realisation of what you are doing, which occurs correspondingly slowly according to how much alcohol you have consumed, soon provokes other reactions, again depending on how much you have drunk. In my case three pints of Sussex still equates to pelvic-floor-clenching panic while four gives way to nonchalance and a slapdash mop up. But that’s by the by. I don’t know why I’m telling you that really except that it gives you an idea of how we were then, at that point in our lives when we were contemplating marriage and mortgages but hadn’t got as far as thinking about kids. We were living in the hazy reality of the mid 60s which our 50s’ childhoods hadn’t prepared us for. Every experience was new. We accepted each idea as it was presented to us because we had no frame of reference to gauge it against. So I and my husband-to-be had taken to going to the pub in what our friends in Seaford referred to as The Village, about five miles away. There – don’t ask me how we drove home afterwards in those pre-breathalyser days of shrugged-off prangs in MGBs and Mini Mokes – we gathered of a Friday evening in an old coaching inn furnished with a huge refectory table on which we perched. Back then the only service was provided by the surly landlord who barely tolerated us; if the local gentry came in he would immediately serve them no matter how many of us were waiting for refills. You see in those days life in the country was very different from the city and we from the town – the peasants – were still expected to know our place, so when the woman with the long hair and gypsy skirt to the floor and the man in the scuffed brown leather jacket and paint-splattered cords – they must have been in their mid-30s I should think but seemed very mature to us – walked up to the bar and were cordially greeted as Patrick and Arabella we interrupted our exchange of mild banter and stared at the exotic newcomers.
“Mind if we join you?” Patrick asked in a pleasant Irish burr. “We’re new here and don’t know anyone. Fine pub this, and Tom’s good with the craic.” It took us a moment to realise they were referring to the landlord. We’d never got beyond calling him Mr Phipps. We asked them what brought them to the village. It turned out that he was an artist and they were renting a house there. She was gentle, with a soft voice and a lyrical way of telling stories that drew you in but drifted away to nothing; he was friendly and full of words that seldom connected. We asked him about his art but didn’t understand his confusing metaphysical explanations and didn’t like to ask for clarification because we didn’t want our ignorance exposed.
As the bell rang for last orders Arabella invited us back for coffee. There was me, my fiancé, Angie and Pete, Robin, Peter and Sue, Tim and Ann. Of course the young man who became my husband, Pete, Peter, Robin and Ann are all dead now – leukaemia, booze, booze, fags and bowel cancer respectively – but in those days we never gave our mortality a thought and burst out of the pub door, laughing with the exuberance of careless youth as we staggered slightly in the still, cold night air oblivious to the spectacle we made.
Patrick and Arabella lived in a large Georgian double-fronted house just off the main village street. Once elegant, it was now echoey and full of shadows. Arabella conducted us to what would once have been a grand drawingroom but was now a shabby space containing no furniture apart from a sofa covered with crocheted blankets, and some large cushions on the floor. There were no curtains and every so often the wind beat a tree branch against the sashed bay windows like the persistent whisper of a percussion brush.
Arabella explained that Tom Phipps was their landlord. They had only just moved in.
I needed to wee again, the effect of six halves. “Up the stairs, along the landing to the end,” instructed Arabella.
The landing was a long one, stretching across the frontage of the house. As I walked along it I became aware of a small, dumpy old lady in a Victorian dress. Grey it was, and plain. Her hair was gathered into a small, wispy bun on top of her head. She didn’t look at me but continued approaching with steps that spoke of small feet in too-tight shoes. She got so close that my eyes went out of focus. When I looked behind me she had gone. Mindful of a toilet incident I opened the lavatory door, checked the lid, did the necessary on automatic pilot and came out, wondering just how much I had really had to drink to conjure up the vision I had seen and asking myself why it wasn’t story-book frightening. Was it because there had been no anticipation of seeing anything strange?
However, the experience must have had some effect because as I returned to the sitting room Arabella remarked: “Are you all right? You’re as pale as a ghost. ”
“I think I’ve just seen one,” I replied hesitantly, suddenly sober and waiting for the guffaws of my inebriated friends.
“What did you see?” asked Arabella, ignoring the titters.
“You’re going to think I’m barmy, but it was a little old lady.”
Relive classic Who album in Horsham
“Was she in Victorian dress? In grey, with a straggly little bun?”
I nodded dumbly while the others gaped.
“Don’t worry about her. That’s Agnes. Tom Phipp’s great grandma. She’s OK but his great granddad is really annoying. He taps on the window with a sound like the brushes drummers use.”
She then went to a cupboard and pulled out two small paintings, one of a lady in a grey Victorian dress, the other of a bent old man with a fierce expression, carrying a garden broom. “Patrick’s latest paintings,” she explained. “But we won’t be putting them up because we’re off next week to find somewhere to live that has more atmosphere than this place.”
Patrick added: “I need more than two fairly benign ghosts to inspire me. You asked me earlier what I painted. Now you know: I seek out the supernatural. You can’t photograph ghosts, you know, but I can paint them so they haunt houses forever. The trouble is, they make very bad models with that habit they’ve got of just melting away while I’m trying to get a good likeness.”
“We’re moving on but I’m sure we shall meet at least some of you in the future,” said Arabella as she said goodbye at the front door, while Patrick stared after us with a painterly eye.

Alex International Round-Up
Ray & Artell play full 90 for their respective nations
It was sad news for George Ray in Helsinki as a late goal for Finland U21’s rescued the hosts a 2-2 draw that ended Wales U21’s hopes of qualifying for the Euro 2015 Finals.
Ray played the full match and saw the Fins take an early lead, before hope was restored midway through the second half with two quick-fire goals from Wes Burns and Lee Evans to put the Welsh in front. On course for a vital three points, Tim Vayrynen struck a hammer-blow on 87 minutes to ensure it ended all-square.
Ray now travels to Lithuania for the final match of qualification on Tuesday.
Crewe Alexandra Academy Director and current Bala Town player Dave Artell made his, and his countries, competitive international debut for Gibraltar as they endured a torrid time at the hands of a Poland side featuring Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski.
The Gibraltar outfit, with Artell at the heart of the back four, defended resolutely and stoutly in the opening 45 and trailed by just a single goal at the break. However, Poland came out all guns blazing in the second period with Lewandowski scoring four as the game ended 7-0.
Liam Nolan and Marcus Haber will both also be in action on Tuesday respectively as Northern Ireland U21’s take on Serbia U21’s and Canada take on Jamaica in Toronto.

Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin
Chronicle of a Summer
Few films can claim as much influence on the course of cinema history as Chronicle of a Summer. The fascinating result of a collaboration between filmmaker-anthropologist Jean Rouch and sociologist Edgar Morin, this vanguard work of what Morin termed cinéma- vérité is a brilliantly conceived and realized sociopolitical diagnosis of the early sixties in France. Simply by interviewing a group of Paris residents in the summer of 1960—beginning with the provocative and eternal question “Are you happy?” and expanding to political issues, including the ongoing Algerian War—Rouch and Morin reveal the hopes and dreams of a wide array of people, from artists to factory workers, from an Italian émigré to an African student. Chronicle of a Summer’s penetrative approach gives us a document of a time and place with extraordinary emotional depth.

Perhaps the most famous cinematographer of the nouvelle vague, Raoul Coutard shot more than seventy-five films during his forty-three-year career. A war photographer (in Indochina) turned freelance photojournalist (his images appeared in Paris Match and Look), Coutard turned to film, hesitantly, only in the late fifties. After fumbling his way through a few film assignments (he was inexperienced with a movie camera), he was hired by producer Georges de Beauregard to shoot the debut film of a young critic named Jean-Luc Godard. His ragged, incisive shooting style on Breathless became iconic in modern cinema, and Godard kept him on board for the rest of the sixties and beyond, while other directors, like François Truffaut, Jacques Demy, Jean Rouch, and Costa-Gavras, also called upon his skills. His exacting images, which vary from rich and luxurious to gritty and documentary-like, can be seen in countless indelible films, including Shoot the Piano Player, Jules and Jim, Contempt, Alphaville, Pierrot le fou, and Z.

New guide highlights physiotherapy and AHP's role in maternity care
CSP members have contributed to a new educational guide that highlights the vital role physiotherapists and other allied health professionals (AHPs) play in maternity care.
01 July 2019 - 11:11AM
Health Education England (HEE) published the guidance, titled Allied Health Professionals and psychologists in the maternity care pathway, to raise awareness and understanding about the roles of the wider healthcare workforce involved in the maternity pathway.
It provides details about the input of physiotherapists and other AHPs during the pre-conception period, the antenatal stages and the post-natal care of mothers and their babies.
CSP staff and members of the professional network Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynecological Physiotherapy (POGP) submitted evidence to the new guide, to provide profession-specific insight into the multidisciplinary planning, development and delivery of maternity services.
Katie Mann, chair of POGP, told Frontline: ‘We were delighted to be part of this document which showcases the wider role of the specialist physiotherapist in the maternity pathway.
‘Current awareness of the role of physiotherapy in obstetrics is limited but this document demonstrates how physiotherapists play an important part of the whole maternity cycle from pre-conception, through the antenatal period, preparation for birth and through to the post-natal and beyond.
‘This document will help clinicians when they are planning or developing services to guide commissioners and managers. POGP patient information leaflets are also referenced in the document and are a useful aid to physiotherapists, as they are peer reviewed and evidenced based.’
An influencing tool that supports the NHS Long Term Plan
The guide highlights the essential role of physios across the maternity pathway
Shan Aguilar-Stone, CSP professional adviser for workforce development, also contributed evidence to the guide.
She told Frontline: ‘This guidance will be of interest to CSP members when they are seeking to influence commissioners and workforce planners as it highlights the essential role of physiotherapists across the maternity pathway, and includes examples of good practice.
‘It also supports recommendations within the NHS Long Term Plan, which call for improved access to postnatal physiotherapy as part of a maternity multidisciplinary team.
‘The NHS Long Term Plan acknowledges thatphysiotherapy is the most cost-effective intervention for preventing and treating mild to moderate incontinence and prolapse.’
As a result, earlier this year CSP and POGP produced a briefing on the NHS Long Term Plan and pelvic health rehabilitation

Focal Point: The Complete Game Master's Guide to Running Extraordinary Sessions
Encoded Designs
The heart of roleplaying is the gaming session, that point when everyone is gathered around the gaming table — and exactly when so many of your game mastering skills are most needed. To the best of our knowledge, there's never been a system-neutral book focused on running great sessions. Until now. Focal Point: The Complete Game Master's Guide to Running Extraordinary Sessions is that book.
Written by award-winning authors Phil Vecchione, Walt Ciechanowski, and John Arcadian, Focal Point is the third volume in Engine Publishing’s “accidental trilogy” of GMing advice books, which began with Never Unprepared and continued in Odyssey. You don’t need those books to enjoy and make use of this one, although they do complement each other well (and we offer a special bundle price for the trilogy).
Each of Focal Point’s authors is a veteran GM with years of experience, and each of them excels at a particular aspect of GMing. John is an entertainer, a GM who loves props and drawing his players into the game world. Walt is a storyteller, an adventure-writer who makes his living in the RPG industry. Phil is a facilitator, an organized GM who specializes in helping his players work well together.
These three roles — entertainer, storyteller, and facilitator — are at the core of Focal Point. From building “sets” for your gaming table, to using flowcharts to structure your adventures, to making sure everyone in your group feels comfortable during play, this guidebook addresses everything that goes into running an extraordinary gaming session.
Like every Engine Publishing title, Focal Point includes four versions of the book: DRM-free, bookmarked, hyperlinked PDF plus EPUB, MOBI, and plain text.

The ZIP file contained a PDF of the book, and a readme.txt, but it didn't have an EPUB or MOBI version. Never Unprepared had a PDF and an EPUB, along with a readme.txt, and Odyssey had a PDF, EPUB, and MOBI along with a readme.txt.
March 07, 2019 6:11 am UTC
The main ZIP file contains the PDF, a readme file, and two ZIP files: one with multiple ebook versions, including epub and mobi ("Ebook Versions.zip"), and one with plain text files. Just to verify that the ZIP file here matches the one on my hard drive, I sent myself a comp copy a moment ago; they match, and the ebook versions are present.
It's possible something went wrong with your download, so I recommend visiting your DriveThruRPG library and downloading the Focal Point ZIP file again. If that doesn't work, just shoot me an email (martin enginepublishing com) and I will send you a copy directly.
Brian V March 07, 2019 3:18 pm UTC
Thanks for the quick response. It turns out the ZIP files are fine, and just as you describe.<br>
I was using an ebook reading app that, conveniently, displays documents in a ZIP file, but doesn't list files it can't display, like ZIP files inside ZIP files. So I mistakenly assumed I was seeing the complete file list, but I wasn't. I looked at them with a different app, and everything was there.
That's good to hear! I'll keep it in mind as a possible solution for others who mention having ebook issues. I'm glad all is well. :-)
March 23, 2016 11:37 pm UTC
Will there be a print edition of this?
I don't have plans to set up a POD edition of Focal Point here, no. (None of our books have a POD option here.)
It's available in print from the Engine Publishing website, other online retailers, and local hobby stores worldwide.

To inquire about having me speak at your function, please contact me directly at [email protected] I’ve been called a “dynamic,” “articulate,” and “highly energetic speaker,” comfortable both in front of clinical, lay and corporate audiences. Below are descriptions of workshops that I am currently offering, as well as a sample list of some of my appearances from the past.
Available Presentations
Sample Past Appearances
Available Presentations for Speaking Engagements
Sex Positive Therapy with Sexual Minorities
This presentation will show clinicians how to work with clients who are sexual minorities, with a special emphasis on those with “kinky” or non-normative sexual interests. Often sex therapists see clients coming into their office worried or shamed about their sexual interests due to sex negative messaging in their families and society. Therapists often need to provide sex education in order to depathologize and normalize sexual behaviors and fantasies deemed aberrant by clients. This presentation will provide details on how therapists help their clients accept and embrace their own sexualities. Case studies will be presented which illustrate the challenges that therapists face in helping clients accept themselves and in giving them permission to explore and broaden their sexual horizons.
Particular attention will be given to differentiating between healthy, non-normative sexual behaviors and pathological sexual behaviors, with emphasis on understanding the changes in the DSM-V regarding the new diagnosis of Paraphilic Disorder. Pros and cons of this new diagnosis will be discussed, with suggestions provided for further changes in the way that the mental health field views sexual minorities.
Working with Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
This presentation will educate clinicians on how to work with clients who are adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Based on award-winning new research (Jacob Goldfein Award for Creative and Scholarly Research) on the effects of CSA on adult sexual behavior, and recently published in a leading sexuality journal (The Journal of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity), this presentation provides clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the psychosexual effects of CSA and concrete tools to intervene effectively with a wide range of difficulties that survivors of CSA present with. Special attention will be paid to understanding how the specific circumstances of the abuse contribute to pathology. Detailed therapeutic strategies will be provided for a wide range of sexual pathologies related to CSA, ranging from sexual compulsivity to sexual inhibition and dysfunction. Numerous case studies will be utilized to clearly illustrate how clinicians can incorporate the skills learned in this presentation to assist their clients.
Sexual Fantasy, Male Aggression and Pornography
This presentation will educate both clinicians and a lay audience about the connection between sexual fantasies and male aggression, with a particular emphasis in understanding how pornography allows men to explore and combine both their sexualities and aggression in a private, non-judgmental format. Particular emphasis will be placed on sociological studies illustrating the effect of pornography in societies where pornography was recently legalized, with special attention on the reduction of sex crimes in those countries with legal pornography.
The Expansion of Sexual Potential through Role Play
This presentation is aimed for both a clinical and lay audience, outlining specific interventions that can be used to help long-term committed couples expand their range of sexual experience through structured role-play. Specific attention will be placed on building communication, trust and transparency; setting the proper frame and boundaries; and delineating a clear understanding of power dynamics within couples’ systems.
Understanding the Role of Power, Control and Aggression in Couples Work
This presentation is geared towards a clinical audience and is designed to educate therapists about internal power dynamics, power struggles, and the various forms of direct and passive aggressive behavior that they may encounter in couples work. Particular attention will be placed on understanding the close relationship between desire, aggression, and sexuality in intimate relationships.

CHIPS Articles: Message from the DON CIO, October-December 2002
Message from the DON CIO, October-December 2002
XML - an Enabling Technology to Achieve Interoperability
By Dan Porter - October-December 2002
The cover story of this issue of CHIPS addresses a technology that holds the promise of becoming a key enabler of information interoperability – Extensible Markup Language, or XML. As we advance in the pursuit of our goals of Web enablement, the use of authoritative data sources, and information portals, XML will be a key component of our overall enterprise architecture and information technology strategy. The Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (DON CIO) is committed to leading the Department in fully exploiting XML as an enabling technology to achieve interoperability in support of maritime information superiority.
In both the public and private sectors, organizations have struggled for years to improve data sharing. Within the Department of Defense, efforts to standardize data have achieved varying levels of success. The ability to exchange data seamlessly, however, is a prerequisite to network-centric operations. To achieve our network-centric goals, the Department of the Navy must be proactive in addressing data exchange challenges. XML provides an alternative to previous data exchange techniques that have fallen short in achieving interoperability objectives. Although no single technology can solve interoperability problems, XML is an additional tool that DON developers and data architects can employ to achieve our goals.
In August of 2001 the DON CIO hosted the first meeting of the DON XML Work Group. Since that time approximately 60 representatives of 30 Navy and Marine Corps Commands have regularly convened to establish key components of an overarching DON XML strategy. Through the dedication and professionalism of these individuals, the DON has emerged as a leader in exploiting the growing capabilities of XML.
Prior to my tenure as the DON CIO, while serving in the capacity of DON Acquisition Reform Executive, one of my responsibilities was to lead the Department in the elimination of unique government-developed standards. The changing landscape of information technology demands that the government participate more actively in Voluntary Consensus Standards bodies. All of the current Internet standards, including XML, have been developed by such bodies. To shape our destiny, we must actively engage with these groups to ensure that DON requirements are met. The DON CIO recently joined one of these bodies - the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). With this membership DON personnel can participate in technical committees that are setting the standards for XML data exchange.
I encourage you to consider how you could participate in these efforts and contribute to achieving DON network-centric goals.

CHIPS Articles: Rep. Wittman to Navy Scientists and Engineers: Make Ideas Operational in the Fleet — Rapidly
Rep. Wittman to Navy Scientists and Engineers: Make Ideas Operational in the Fleet — Rapidly
By John Joyce, NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications - May 12, 2017
DAHLGREN, Va. – Mission engineering, cyber warfare, and directed energy. Innovative ideas impacting these Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) thrust areas are constantly transforming Navy technological capabilities.
“Keep the ideas coming and let’s find a way to get them to the fleet faster,” Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., told a gathering of Navy scientists and engineers at the two-day Mission Engineering & Analysis, and Integration & Interoperability conference sponsored by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) and NSWCDD, April 25.
“We can bring innovation creation in a faster manner to our men and women out there in the front lines, and we can do things less expensively,” said Wittman, the event’s keynote speaker. “When we can expedite them more efficiently, speak out — let folks know of your ideas because we are indeed a nation of great ideas.”
Throughout his speech, entitled, ‘Capitol Hill Perspective of 355 Ship Navy Pitch and Budget Topline,’ Wittman emphasized that ideas from the Navy Warfare Centers are crucial to achieve a 355-ship Navy.
Creativity, discovery, and innovation will foster opportunities for breakthroughs and provide technology options for future naval capabilities and systems that can be leveraged to the nation’s advantage, said Wittman, Chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee. “It will lay the groundwork for what we can do in getting those items to our men and women out on the frontlines faster and do it less expensively. Your ideas matter, your thoughts about how we can make the process more efficient matter. Let us know how we can do that.”
The collaboration and speeches at the conference covered processes and technologies related to modeling and simulation; mission engineering, surface warfare; maritime cyber security; human augmentation and interoperability; integration and interoperability; affordable future surface combatants; integrated power and energy systems; and world-wide technology desktop virtualization.
“Mission engineering in these times with the threat that we are facing is an absolute necessity,” NSWCDD Commanding Officer Capt. Godfrey ‘Gus’ Weekes told the ASNE conference attendees, mostly government and defense contractor scientists and engineers.
Mission engineering is the planning, analyzing, organizing, and integrating current and emerging operational concepts for the purpose of evolving the end-to-end operational architecture and capability attributes, across the doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership and education, personnel and facilities spectrum. It includes anticipated Blue Force and Opposition Force behaviors that are needed to inform the communities of interest involved in fulfilling mission needs statements.
Weekes described mission engineering activities that NSWCDD scientists and engineers are accomplishing within the command’s Mission Engineering and Analysis Directorate.
“They are assisting and interfacing with the Fleet and the Fleet commander — at the strategic level in some respects,” said Weekes. “We work with the Fleet tactically in regard to real world exercises — basically making civilian EDs (engineering duty officers). It is one thing to engineer a system to meet a requirement. It’s totally different to go out and be a part of an exercise, engaging in discussions with flag level wargamers and hear from them how they will implement your system. To have that level of interaction at a junior to senior civilian engineer level is critical.”
We understand the value in digitally representing systems under test and evaluation and the value in replicating systems aboard ships, submarines and aircraft, said NSWCDD Technical Director John Fiore in his opening remarks.
“It’s necessary to understand future capability of surface warfare, air warfare, and undersea warfare capabilities,” he emphasized. “We must do it collectively while using the right model and tool for the right purpose. I have witnessed personally that modeling and simulation can save hundreds of millions of dollars and like the captain said — give the warfighter insight into what a new capability might represent for them without spending a lot of money or committing to programs of record to determine later that it’s not going to be useful.”
Collaborating to engineer technological programs collectively is how ASNE was founded.
In 1888, a group of naval engineering pioneers, most of them officers of the U.S. Navy's Engineering Corps, started the technical society to engage with their fellow engineers for a unified approach to their profession and make the most of new advances in technology.
“You are the backbone of building the Navy of the future,” said Anthony Lengerich, ASNE president, a retired admiral. “We talk about distributed operations, distributed lethality — it’s everything that the warfare centers are engaged in. I encourage you to think about submitting articles and ideas into ASNE. Let’s get a dialogue going that will change the composition of ASNE, but more importantly, it will become a rallying point for everybody in the warfare centers. This is your organization. Write to the journal, get your ideas on paper. Make it an organization that supports the Navy in a greater way.”
Meanwhile, Wittman is committed to supporting and rebuilding a 355-ship Navy.
“We’re going to lay out a pretty aggressive schedule on what we do to rebuild our Navy,” said Wittman. “Every one of you in this room will be part of that effort. There’s great work that goes on here with not only developing concepts but bringing those concepts to operation and what we will do for our ships of the future. I’ve talked to the CNO (Chief of Naval Operations) at length as well as our flag officers in the Navy about what we’re going to do to bring new systems onboard — whether it’s railgun, whether it’s lasers. All those things are extraordinarily important and we have to be able to get those operationalized quickly and we’ve shown we can do that.”

At Doorways, we envision a community where all people live free of violence and have safe and stable housing. That’s why we work to transform the lives of adults, youth and children who are facing homelessness or suffering abuse in our community. Through the generosity of our partners and supporters, we help our most vulnerable neighbors survive crisis, rebuild their lives and achieve brighter futures.
Doorways creates pathways out of homelessness, domestic violence and sexual assault leading to safe, stable and empowered lives.
Doorways crea caminos para ayudar a las personas sin hogar y aquellas que han experimentado violencia doméstica o violencia sexual para que puedan encontrar una vida estable, segura y retomar el control de sus vidas. Ofrecemos varias opciones de intervención en crisis, consejería, y apoyo para obtener recursos adicionales.
Doorways began in 1978, when a group of concerned community members saw there was no safe place in Arlington for families in crisis. What began then with one shelter and one response has grown into a series of pathways individually tailored for adults, youth and children seeking safety and housing due to varying hardships. From immediate crisis intervention to counseling, housing and employment support, we offer real options and multiple pathways to build brighter futures. We serve people of all ages and genders—women, men, and those who identify as LGBTQ+.
Thousands of people in crisis turn to Doorways each year. As a critical part of our community’s safety net, Doorways’ immediate response addresses safety concerns for our neighbors escaping violence. Through Arlington’s only 24-Hour Domestic & Sexual Violence Hotline, we provide crisis intervention, support, counseling and immediate assistance to victims of domestic and sexual violence and those seeking help. Our highly trained staff understands the complexities of trauma and crisis, and offers our neighbors multiple pathways to immediate and long-term safety. Through the hotline, survivors can access a trained, knowledgeable and compassionate companion to provide Hospital Accompaniment for survivors of assault seeking medical attention. Our Revive Domestic & Sexual Violence Counseling Program provides trauma-informed individual and group counseling for survivors of all ages, whether or not they are living in one of our shelters. Additionally, Court Advocacy services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence as they navigate the legal system to protect themselves and their children.
When individuals and families don’t have a safe place to live, Doorways provides the keys. Working with our partners in the community, we offer women, men, and those who identify as LGBTQ+ a range of safe housing options from secure emergency shelters and community apartments to longer-term housing. Arlington’s only Domestic Violence Safehouse, Safe Kennel and Safe Apartments provide safe shelter for survivors who are escaping intimate partner violence. Our Freddie Mac Foundation Family Home provides safe shelter for families and youth who are experiencing homelessness. Beyond shelter, Doorways’ HomeStart Supportive Housing Program provides long-term housing coupled with comprehensive services.
The impacts of extreme poverty or trauma are not simply undone by a safe night’s rest. Doorways’ Comprehensive Service Model includes counseling, safety planning, economic rebuilding and empowerment and targeted children’s interventions – so that when a person or family comes to Doorways, they have the tools to recover from hardship and can begin to build a stable future. Our team of licensed counselors, social workers, and staff does whatever it takes to put our clients on their path to a brighter future. Doorways also advocates on behalf of those we serve to create political and economic solutions to the root causes of violence, poverty and homelessness.
Since 1978, we have listened to the needs of our clients in building and honing our combination of immediate safety and shelter, long-term housing and therapeutic services. It is the stories of these brave, resilient survivors that remain our inspiration to this day, reinforcing our commitment to help even more of our neighbors in need.

Céline Cancels Runway Show
Photo: Imaxtree
Only Céline, the brand that has, in just two years, had a ripple effect on style across the globe, could get away with canceling its Paris runway show at such a young age and still be the most exciting collection in Europe.
LVMH announced today that staging a show next month is out of the question; designer Phoebe Philo is pregnant with her third child. The compnay's CEO told WWD, "A runway show is a very demanding and personal engagement for a creative director. The objective is to simplify."
Instead, they'll stage a presentation somewhere in Paris during their time slot (March 4, 1PM). We're guessing this means a bash in honor of Céline's new Madison Avenue store, opening within a month, is absolutely out of the question.

What we’re talking about:
Our Sustainability Story
New Nutrition Facts Tables, same nutritious eggs
Eggs are part of what makes Canada great
The young farmer program: no better way to learn the industry
Celebrity chef shines the spotlight on eggs this holiday season
December 2, 2015 By Daniel Drolet
“No chef loves eggs as much as I do,” says celebrity chef Lynn Crawford. That’s why she chose to team up with Egg Farmers of Canada this year to champion the humble egg.
Eggs, she says, are the unsung heroes of the table, a basic building block of cooking – from a bountiful holiday feast to the simplest of meals. She wants to shine a spotlight on eggs as both a food and an ingredient – and to remind Canadians that this holiday season, they should also be thankful for the egg farmers who produce them.
Lynn is an award-winning chef with over 25 years of culinary experience. Formerly the executive chef for the Four Seasons Hotel in both Toronto and New York, she is now the chef and owner of critically acclaimed Ruby Watchco in Toronto’s east end, and the newly opened The Hearth at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
Lynn is a resident judge on Chopped Canada. In her new TV show, The Great Canadian Cookbook, a four-part series that aired in November, Lynn travels across Canada and into the homes of Canadians to cook with the food lovers and heroes we all need to know. She also stared in Pitchin’ In on Food Network Canada, which was nominated for Gemini Awards.
Her philosophy is that food should be produced locally and cooked with feeling.
“I want people to cook,” she says, “and I want people to cook with their heart, and enjoy what it is to cook a dish and share it with family.”
Cooking with eggs needn’t be complicated.
“People always say they don’t have time to cook,” says Lynn. “But eggs are a quick, delicious and satisfying medium for creating wonderful dishes.
“Eggs are the one ingredient found just about every household, and they are so versatile,” she adds.
“If you go and scan the recipes in your cookbooks at home, you will find so many with eggs. From the perfect omelette to a lovely dessert, they make so many recipes come alive. For example, I couldn’t do a perfect chicken piccata without eggs. Or a soufflé. Or chocolate cake.”
“Eggs are very forgiving. And they like to befriend other ingredients, both sweet and savoury.”
“There’s a certain simplicity to a lot of egg recipes. But it’s one of those ingredients you can’t do without.”
Eggs are a big player in holiday dishes. To that end, Lynn has designed three classic holiday recipes for Egg Farmers of Canada: Yorkshire Pudding, Rib Roast with Horseradish Salt Crust, and Cranberry Gingerbread Cheesecake.
She is also sharing some of her own memorable kitchen mishaps–proving that even a great chef sometimes struggles in the kitchen and has to deal with her own #ScrambledPlan.
Lynn invites Canadians to embrace the spirit of the holidays, and let go of the idea that everything has to be perfect.
It’s not about putting the perfect dish on the table, she says, but about spending time with family and friends. Memories can just as easily be made while the family prepares a meal as when they sit down together and enjoy one.
And speaking of family, Lynn wants to remind Canadians not to forget the egg farmers, many of whom produce eggs in family-run businesses.
“I’m the egg farmers’ biggest fan,” she says.
“I look at the farm families in Canada who work so hard to give us these wonderful products. For me, it’s all about honouring and celebrating those farmers who give us such incredible products to cook with.”
“And in the holiday season, we want to give thanks that there are fresh and high-quality eggs that will make our holiday celebrations unique and delicious.”

Our Sedgefield dream come true!
Liz Massardo tells the story about MARGATE!
At some point in time, our house had belonged to the Gates. Mrs Gates' name was Margaret, hence the name Margate.
Originally however, the house was called “The Cabin” and we have a painting done by the late Reedon Rodway who was an accomplished local artist.
First built in the ‘50’s, we were told by some Sedgefield old-timers, that at one time part of "the cabin" had been a tearoom!
Long before we knew what the future had in store for us, we lived in Cape Town and my parents lived in PE.
It was way back in the late 70’s and we had two young sons who were always keen and excited to see their grandparents.
My parents visited us for the Christmas holidays in Cape Town and we escaped the June winters in Cape Town to visit them.
That was not enough so the search was on for a suitable Easter holiday destination more or less halfway between Cape Town and PE.
We had only ever driven through Sedgefield – never stopping to explore as we were keen to get to the family!
We knew we were in Sedge when we passed the famous house with the concrete horse wall.
The village was very small then, with just a few shops, a caravan park, Shell garage, Post office and Municipal offices.
My sister had stayed at Placid Waters for a short holiday and she told us of the unspoilt beauty of Sedgefield – one of South Africa’s best kept secrets.
So the two families booked themselves cottages at Placid Waters for the Easter holidays.
We brought our sailing dingy with us packed full of groceries as we did not want to waste time driving to George or Kynsna to do our household shopping!
There were a few cafes in Sedge but they were expensive places to buy grocery items.
Dream Holidays for families
In those days there were very few permanent residents in Sedgefield so we often had the lagoon and beach to ourselves. Ken and Wynne Humphries would walk past Placid Waters every afternoon en route to the lagoon where they would swim with their dogs for an hour.
We became very good friends and every Easter no sooner had we arrived at Placid Waters, our sons would rush over to visit them.
The Humphries used to breed Labradors and the puppies were a great attraction for the children.
Wynne and Ken became our Sedgefield family because of the hospitality and friendship they generously extended to us. The first night in Sedgefield they always prepared supper for us to eat with them in their quaint little cottage called Sante Fe, just a few houses away from us.
Another highlight of the holiday was to wake up early and drive to George station by 7am to board the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe to Knysna.
The train journey took us through unparalleled breathtakingly beautiful scenery between George and Knysna.
The train stopped in Knysna for 1 hour. It was just enough time to dash up to the Main Road, to order take-away hamburgers and pancakes to eat on the train as it made its return journey to George.
We all loved the unspoiled paradise of Sedgefield with its birds and gorgeous scenery.
In the evenings we often walked along Kingfisher Drive down to the jetty and enjoyed the magnificent sunsets from the wooden benches at the water’s edge.
There was one bench situated very close to a house called Margate.
We hoped that one day we might be lucky enough to be able to afford a holiday house like Margate.
Our Own Holiday Home
To cut a long story short – Lady Luck smiled on us and in 1992, Margate came up for sale. Although at first, our offer was refused, a month later we received a call saying the owners had changed their minds and the house was ours!
After we had bought it we did some minor additions and alterations and were amused to hear that the locals had nicknamed it Buckingham Palace mainly because of the arched entrances at the front!
In March 2003 Sedgefield suffered heavy flooding. We were not there to see it but our good friend Wynne was most anxious about our house. She phoned the police station right next door and spoke to the policeman on duty.
She asked him to please see if the house next door was okay and not affected by the lagoon breaking its banks in some places. The policeman responded, “Madam, I’m not going anywhere. I'm standing on my desk surrounded by water!”
Really alarmed now, Wynne phoned a friend to go and have a look at our house. They couldn't get to it but from the tall dune in Cormorant street, the house could be seen with water all around it but not actually reaching it.
It appeared that the house was on a high point – an island in a lake of water! It got that close it was lapping at our garage door but never entered it. We were so lucky!
We used Margate as a holiday home until we retired in 2006. We decided that Sedgefield would be the ideal place to retire to and we set about designing our dream retirement home ourselves.
The new Margate had to be big enough to accommodate the rest of our family for Easter and Christmas holidays!!!
Margate - Our Dream Retirement Home
My husband, Jack together with the help of local builders took 8 months to build our new home, whilst we rented a house nearby in Groenvallei.
We first had to organise for some major work to be done that involved cutting down a number of huge gum trees, that could prove dangerous in the future, to our house and the property next door.
We also had to remove an ancient truck that had been abandoned on the premises.
We moved into our new Margate at the end of February 2007 and happily, have never regretted it!
Every day we are grateful for all the choices we made that have lead up to us being able to spend our retirement years in Sedgefield! It is a beautiful area, people are friendly and our small village is perfect for pensioners who appreciate peace and nature.

Taylor Swift Spotted on Boat Without Harry Styles Amid Breakup Reports
by Baker Machado & Michelle Falls | Tue., Jan. 8, 2013 1:16 PM
The proof is in the pictures?
As rumors continue to run rampant that Taylor Swift and Harry Styles have called it quits, shots showing the Red artist sitting by herself on the back of a boat in St. Johns have surfaced.
A source tells E! News that Swift got on with her bodyguards, who were carrying five bags. She apparently looked a bit sad and not very happy.
The photos were taken on Friday, Jan. 4, as Swift was leaving U.S. Customs and heading to the airport to fly back to the United States by herself. The (former?) couple orginally made their way down to the British Virgin Islands after sharing a New Year's Eve kiss in New York City.
One Direction "Kiss You" video goes viral in wake of Taylor-Styles breakup news
Of course, the absence of Styles here certainly seems to support the speculation that he and his ladylove are no more.
Meanwhile, a rep for One Direction has yet to comment on the possible split, and Swift's people have not yet returned a request for comment.

Singers and Lutes, Lutes and Singers: Musical Performance and Poetic Discourse in Early Modern Songs
Sarah Iovan
Although twenty-first-century scholarship tends to see the connections between music and poetry in terms of mellifluousness, rhythm, meter, and the like, early modern poets understood those connections as a poetic discourse that interacts with, destabilizes, or undermines the social and literary contexts in which it appears. Lute poems provide fascinating opportunities to explore the implications of song as discourse. They employ song performance as their poetic context and use the conventions of performance to multiply the relationships between the speaker(s) and the audience(s) present in the poems. Wyatt's lute poems “Blame not My Lute” and “My Lute, Awake” provide two examples of the ways that lutes, and by extension other musical voices, can act as secondary speakers within a poem.

The Experimental Drink: Bull-Ball Beer
By Eric Vilas-Boas
Wynkoop Brewing Co.
Making a beer out of bull testicles sounds like an April Fools' joke, no? It was to Denver's Wynkoop Brewing Co. this year, when they announced a new beer made of the stuff on April 1. But then it wasn't. They're actually brewing and selling the beer, the Denver Post reports. At seven percent alcohol-by-volume, it's a stiff beer, with three balls to every barrel. We've seen weird beer, but... Christ. Here's Wynkoop's maybe-earnest-maybe-not statement (emphasis added): "Rocky Mountain Oysters (aka fried bull testicles) are arguably our state's most popular local dish. They've also been enjoyed by humans for centuries. So they're a dream-come-true ingredient for a Wynkoop beer." I can't tell if they're really Colorado's most popular dish, but it would certainly be amusing if they came up during Obama and Romney's debate tonight in Denver. Somebody's gonna need balls to get through the thing. [The Denver Post]

'Dancing With the Stars' Season 27: What to Expect When the All-New Cast Makes Their Ballroom Debut

WHEN IS THE PREMIERE?

Following the big cast reveal earlier this month, ET caught up with some of the dance duos, who gave us the rundown on how their rehearsals are going, revealing some of the challenges they're facing as they approach week one. Sharna told us that Bobby is "very musically inclined," but often forgets the steps. "I panic a lot," he admits. "But I have the best partner ... I think that we're our own competition and every week we just gotta focus on us."
For Disney star Milo, who has some dance experience, it's all about working with Witney to learn a new style from scratch. "The dance experience I have is more hip-hop, pop and lock it, and less [about] keeping your frame and pointing your toes," he explains. "Sometimes I get a bit carried away when it comes to being precise and doing the right thing."
DeMarcus' big challenge is not letting the pressure get to him. So many NFL stars have competed on the show and done incredibly well, with athletes like Emmitt Smith and Rashad Jennings winning it all. And while he certainly would like to continue that streak, he's solely focusing on his own journey right now. "It gives me confidence," he says. "The teacher will show you the steps, but the competitive nature is gonna come out. That's why all the athletes do very well -- they don't want to lose, so they're gonna make sure that they get out there and perform well."
Meanwhile, Gleb has been busy teaching self-proclaimed non-dancer Nikki the basics of rhythm. Her strategy? Just go out there and have fun!
"I decided to say yes to Dancing with the Stars because I have nothing left to lose," she admits. "I'm tired of being a woman who cares what people think, trying to be cool, trying to look perfect. I'm not perfect and dancing is one of the things that I've been most insecure about my entire life. Like, I don't do it at weddings, I've never learned to dance, I didn't do it in high school, I don't like doing things I'm not good at."
"I'm doing this so I can show young girls at home that it's OK to look stupid," she adds. "It's OK to do something you're bad at and try your best at it and really put in effort. And I'm doing this for the young version of myself watching at home, that's like, 'I could never do that!' Yes, you can! Not well, but you can do it, and you can have fun. Let's just have fun and live our lives."
WILL THERE BE ANY SPECIAL PERFORMANCES?
Yes! During night one, the 13 celebrities vying for the mirrorball trophy will gather together with their pro partners for an extravagant opening number to Erin Boheme's "I Won't Dance." The highly anticipated piece is choreographed by the show's Emmy-winning creative genius, Mandy Moore.
Then, on Tuesday, they'll open the show with a group number (also choreographed by Mandy) to "The Greatest Show" from The Greatest Showman soundtrack. And later, triple threat dancer, singer and actress Mackenzie Ziegler will perform her hit song, "Wonderful," for the crowd.
ARE THERE ANY UPDATES ON DWTS: JUNIORS?
We know the pros. We know the mentors. But now, we'll finally get to meet the celebrity cast! ABC revealed this week that the young stars competing on Juniors will be announced in person during Tuesday's live show, followed by a group performance.

Fire AEDs
Study: Coffee shops, ATMs may be ideal locations for AEDs
Researchers ranked businesses and other locations according to how many cardiac arrests occurred within 100 meters of the locations and when they were open
DALLAS — Community coffee shops and automated teller machines, or ATMs, might be ideal locations for public access to automated external defibrillators, according to new research in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation.
An AED is a computerized medical device that can check a person’s heart rhythm and recognize a rhythm that requires a shock and advise the rescuer when a shock is needed. The AED uses voice prompts, lights and text messages to tell the rescuer the steps to take.

Placement of AEDs in communities is an ongoing effort to provide access to these lifesaving devices to bystanders, so they can help people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
To determine where best to place AEDs in the community, researchers studied different businesses and municipal locations in Toronto, Canada. They ranked the businesses and other locations according to how many cardiac arrests occurred within 100 meters of the locations and when they were open.
“We found that coffee shops and ATMs ranked highly across several related metrics, and that those rankings were stable over the years,” said Timothy C.Y. Chan, Ph.D., study author and Canada Research Chair in Novel Optimization and Analytics in Health, University of Toronto in Canada.
There were 2,654 publicly located, non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Toronto from Jan. 2007 to Dec. 2015. Coffee shops from three major chains and ATMs from the five largest Canadian banks occupied eight of the top 10 spots for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Toronto and its downtown area. The rankings remained stable over time.
“What this means is that health organizations, foundations and policymakers aiming to develop public access defibrillator programs could use our rankings to identify promising businesses to develop partnerships with for AED deployment,” Chan said. “Ultimately, we want to get AEDs in the right locations, so they are accessible when needed most.”

Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by bulb manufacturers. At the introduction of the PH 5, Poul Henningsen wrote the following: "After 33 years of basically Christian behavior I have converted to Islam in my relationship to the manufacture of incandescent bulbs. For a generation I have believed that consideration for the consumer and common sense would prevail, but now I have become a fatalist. I have accepted fate, and with Louis Poulsen's permission I have designed a PH fixture which can be used with any kind of light source, Christmas lights and 100 W metal-filament bulbs. Although a fluorescent tube would be too much to ask in the existing form!". The PH 5 was introduced as a classic new product, and no one knew at the time that it would eventually become synonymous with the PH light. Irrespective of how the light is installed or the light source used, the PH 5 is and remains completely glare-free. The fixture was christened PH 5 due to the 50 cm diameter of the main shade. Poul Henningsen wanted to improve the color reproduction characteristics of the light source in the PH 5. Small red and blue shades were therefore inserted to supplement the color in the part of the spectrum where the eye is least sensitive—the red and blue areas—thereby subduing the light in the middle yellow-green region where the eye is most sensitive.
The PH 5 design has been regularly updated as light sources have developed. Like the PH 5, the PH 5 Mini is available in the classic white version, a modern white model and in six color versions, where the color is darkest at the top and gradually lightens moving down from shade to shade. The struts are purple on the ÔclassicÕ model and bronze-colored on the other seven versions. The reflector ring color contrasts with the other hues. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this beloved pendant, Louis Poulsen released the PH 5 and PH 5 Mini in an edition that pairs copper shades and white tiers. The new metallic-and-white combination highlights Henningsen's shade system design and adds new dynamism to one of his most recognized forms, with the mirror-like copper tiers reflecting their surroundings.
Poul Henningsen (PH) was born in Copenhagen by the famous Danish actress Agnes Henningsen. He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg in Denmark from 1911-14, and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17.
He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he is most famous for. He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author. For a short period at the beginning of WWII, he was the head architect of the Tivoli Gardens project in Copenhagen. But like many other creative people, he was forced to flee Denmark during the German occupation but soon became a vital part of the Danish colony of artists living in Sweden.
His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen began in 1925 and lasted until his death in 1967. To this day, Louis Poulsen still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen was also the first editor of the company magazine "NYT". The CEO of Louis Poulsen at the time, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, gave the magazine to PH as a gift after he had been terminated from another Danish newspaper - his opinions were too radical.
Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relationship between light structures, shadows, glare and color reproduction, compared to man's need for light, remains the foundation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen.

According to an update from Virginia State Police, a wreck along Interstate 95 involved a single vehicle. A previous report from VDOT had described the incident as a multi-vehicle crash.
At 1:26 p.m. Friday, Virginia State Police responded to the crash in the northbound lanes of I-95 at the 123.9-mile marker in Spotsylvania County. All lanes of I-95 are closed at this time, with a detour set up, the State Police said in a 4 p.m. statement.
The crash has closed all northbound Interstate 95 lanes between the Thornburg and Massaponax exits, according to a release sent by the Virginia Department of Transportation shortly after 2 p.m. Friday.
VDOT said travelers "should expect significant northbound travel delays in (the) area."
Traffic is being detoured to U.S. 1 at the Thornburg exit. That traffic can get back on I-95 at the Massaponax exit.

The Theatre District
Downtown Freedom
Trick-or-Treat!
By Barnum, October 27, 2007 in The Theatre District
Summer passed, and Fall quickly descended on Freedom City, bringing with it cool rains and even cooler breezes. As October grew old and November approached, the city made ready for its annual Halloween festival, The Haunted Block Party. For 12 years running the inhabitants of the theater district turned the two city blocks of Broadway between 64th St. and the Beaudrie Opera House into a "fair, games, and scares" trick-or-treat extravaganza. Between the hours of 6 and 8 PM, Broadway. would be packed with hundreds of children of all ages and their families milling about, playing games, showing off their costumes, eating candy, and trick-or-treating for goodies at all of the shops, booths, and venders on the street. Every year Mr. Dirksen turned the bottom floor of his warehouse at the corner of 60th St. into a rather formidable haunted house. Rumor was that this year, he had outdone himself. Admission was always free, and there was never a shortage of Freedom League costumes at the festival. Occasionally, a real Leaguer even made an appearance.

Mark walked through the crowds of the Halloween gathering, his parents following close behind. He usually thought Halloween was dumb; just an excuse for companies to sell tacky merchandise and for kids to go begging for candy that they'd eat too much of anyway. This year was different though, he needed to just interact with normal people without saving their lives or foiling their crimes. It was nice to hear people enjoying themselves, and he briefly considered tinkering with the climate just a little to turn it into the perfect cool, crisp Autumn evening. Changing his mind, he diverted his attention to one of the stalls. He'd not had a candy apple in years, and he was suddenly hit with a craving for one.
"Mom, gonna get a candy apple. You or dad want one?"

Megan made her way though the "Haunted Block Party" in the Theater District, holding hands with her current boyfriend, Cory Wells. The blonde teen was smiling as she enjoyed the festive atmosphere. She and Cory had another party to attend later at the house of one of their friends back in North Bay, and for that they would change into costumes for that one. Megan would have worn her costume to this, but seeing as there were lots of kids present, it was probably not quite appropriate. Instead she was simply dressed in a tight pair of high end designer jeans, with a blue cashmere sweater and a light jacket, due to the crisp Autumn air.
"So we going to head to the haunted house first?" She asked Cory with a slight smile.

"I know, I know, it sucks." Richard O'Connor carefully balanced his cell phone against one ear, listening to the complaints of his unhappy girlfriend. Rose had lost the draw of straws at work, and been stuck working the evening shift in the clean room at Lonely Point. "I promise to save you candy, and take lots of pictures. We'll find a cool late night party once all the kids are asleep tonight, and do our own tricking and treating." When he'd finished the conversation and soothed his unhappy girlfriend, Richard very carefully tucked the cellphone away and looked down at Freedom City, some thousand feet beneath his feet. The Freedom Eagle was in the sky tonight.
"Okay, just do what Grandpa would do. Smile and wave at the kids, throw some candy, punch any Nazis you see, and shake hands with anyone wearing a Freedom Eagle costume. Yeah, that'll work..." He circled a few more times, riding the plentiful updrafts from the city below, before he swooped down, lower and lower, over the Haunted Block Party that he and Rose had planned to attend before her work had cropped up. Richard O'Connor was spending the evening at home tonight.
But the Freedom Eagle was on patrol. He waved to the crowd below as he reached rooftop level, a geninue superhero out for the evening's festivities. Now, if he could just figure out a way to throw the candy without clocking any little kids...
Susan Cooper watched her son walking ahead of her. She was beaming with pride, and it was talking all of her self-control to not effuse over him. "He's still my handsome little boy! He's so smart! Any of these girls would be lucky to get him!" But she knew it would mortify both son and father, so she kept it to herself. John Cooper walk along silently, watching nothing in particular. It was nice to be with his family, but this "festival" wasn't exactly his idea of a good time.
"No thank you, dear," Mrs. Cooper said. "I'm watching my calories." Unconsciously, Mrs. Cooper tugged at the just-a-little-too-snug of her waistband. "But you go ahead and get you something." Mrs. Cooper began fishing around in her purse to get some money for her "little boy."
"So we going t o head to the haunted house first?"
"Haunted house? Are you sure you won't get scared?" Cory's voice dripped with sarcasm. He didn't really think she'd be too scared, but he liked pushing her buttons a little. "Sure. We can do the haunted house first. But don't worry; if you do get scared, I'll hold your hand." He laughed at his own perceived cleverness. Megan was one of the most competent people he'd ever met. That made him more than a bit insecure, so he did what so many insecure young men did in his position. He bragged a little too much, and he teased a little too much.
The haunted house was about four blocks east from where they were, so Cory put his arm around "his girl" and headed them off in that direction.
Freedom Eagle
"Look, mommy!" Little Susie Smith stuck her finger up at the dark sky. Her mother was accustomed to not paying very close attention to Susie's outbursts. As was typical for a child of only six, the outbursts far were too numerous for that. "Look! Look! Look!" Little Susie jerked against her mothers arm, but her mother kept her death grip on her child's hand.
"What is it--" But before Ms. Smith could finish she caught a glimpse of the motion up in the sky. "Look at that!" she exclaimed, far louder than she intended. The crowd that was pressed around her, enjoying the festival, all looked up with her just in time to see Freedom Eagle land on the roof of a nearby building.
"Look, mommy! He's waving at me!" Little Susie was beside herself with glee.
The rest of the crowd waved and cheered. The denizens of Freedom City were, of course, very familiar with their native heroes, but they rarely saw them up close and in person . . . and usually when the citizens of Freedom City did catch sight of a hero . . . it was time to run for their lives; a deadly and evil villain usually wasn't far behind.
Surely that wouldn't happen tonight.
Barnum said:
"Sure. We can do the haunted house first. But don't worry; if you do get scared, I'll hold your hand."
"Maybe I'll have to end up holding yours." Megan replied to Cory's teasing as she gave him a little elbow. Cory was like many of the guys Megan dated, from a well off family, good looking and athletic, which made his somewhat cocky and self assured. While those were traits that appealed to the blonde girl, save perhaps for too much cockiness, her own forceful personality and confidence often caused tension. Thankfully, Cory's response to any feelings of insecurity was relatively minor, and she was able to play along with it.
As he put his arm around her shoulders, Megan put her arm around his lower back as she let him pull her closer to him and they made their way through the crowds.
Feeling about ten feet tall at the admiration of the crowd, Freedom Eagle neatly leapt off the rooftop and began a "strafing" run, throwing carefully wrapped bags of candy down to the crowd below. "Happy Halloween, everybody!" comes his voice from high above as he soars above the streets, bringing candy to everyone who's keeping an eye out. It's a wonderful moment for him, reminiscent of his grandfather's stories about V-J Day and the glories of the Golden Age. It takes a palpable effort to remind himself that being a superhero isn't all fun and games. This isn't his first time out; he's run into some bad men in this job. All that aside, it is pretty fun.
Mark was about to open his mouth and protest, to say It's all right, I've got it, but he changed his mind. Money was tight, and a part time job at the grocery store had been all he'd been able to fit in. The pay was bad, so if his mom was offering he wasn't going to refuse. He heard the cries of the crowd and looked up at the source of their attention.
"Wow, Freedom Eagle," he said mostly to himself. He kept his eyes on the hero just long enough for the flying man to inadvertently strike him with a piece of hard candy.
He quickly turned his head back, resolved on fetching that candy apple. Again, he muttered to himself. "Ow. Jerk."
As they made their way along the crowded streets, Megan caught sight of Freedom Eagle as he swooped over the crowds and came down. Stopping her and Cory, she pointed over in that direction. "Look, it's the Freedom Eagle." She said.
Freedom Eagle circles the streets a few times, waving to the crowd and enjoying the moment. Despite Richard's real joy in the pleasure of being a superhero, he's keeping an eye out for lost kids, muggers, or anything else unsavory going on in the streets below. The name and the colors meant more than just distributing free candy; they stood for truth, justice, and flying!
"Meh," Mrs. Cooper snorted, "Freedom Eagle is not that great." She continued looking at her handsome son, her eyes full of pride. To the mother's biased gaze, no one was as great as her son. "Besides, being a hero is dangerous . . . and foolish! If he had more sense, that bird brain would be careful and not risk his neck by showing off for the crowds. I'm sure--"
Mr. Cooper sensed that his wife was about to go into "full sermon mode" and no one wanted that. "Yes, dear," he said firmly, forcing her to stop talking momentarily. He took the money from her hand and passed it along to his son. "I'm sure he's being careful. Now let's go see what these venders are selling." He took is wife by the arm and walked her across the street to a set of booths set up to sell designer candy.
The crowd stood transfixed for several minutes by the sight of the flying hero before the impressiveness of the scene began to wane. Slowly, everyone went back to their Halloween festivities, only occasionally glancing up to see if the hero was still there. Cory tried not to look too impressed when his girl pointed out the hero . . . but he was, so much so, in fact, the he didn't move from his spot the whole time Freedom Eagle was visible in the air. "Yeah, Freedom Eagle, he's pretty cool," was all he said, but his attempt to feign nonchalance was an abysmal failure. Most every guy had a little boy inside of them that wanted to jump up and down, yelling and screaming when they saw a real live superhero. Cory was having a hard time containing his, even though he wanted to keep his "cool persona" intact for Megan. If he only knew . . .
hero4hire
Jackson (or Jax to his friends) looked skyward as the winged hero looped around and aerobatically impressed the crowd.
He had been dragged to the Block Party by his room-mate Chad. Well dragged wasn't quite right. Once Jax had found out one Candace Marie was going to be there as well he begrudgingly accepted playing 'wingman' to his somewhat obnoxious friend.
"Man that guy would have to be what? At least Eighty by now?" Jax said mentally doing the math in his head. "Its amazing how these guys never age." I wonder if I will age? he added privately. So many questions were unanswered about his heritage, his abilities. One thing was for sure he still felt human when he looked at Candace Marie...All to human!
Megan just smiled slightly at Cory’s response and attempts to play it cool. She considered teasing him a bit about the fact they were rooted in place, but decided against it for the moment. Soon the hero was out of the air and down onto the ground.
“I wonder if any other heroes will be here?†She said, deciding to shift the subject some and possibly get them back on their way.
Mark unwrapped the brightly coloured apple from its cellophane and took a large bite.
Oh yeah, he thought to himself. This is why I haven't had a candy apple in years. He pondered Freedom Eagle's appearance. Some sort of sponsorship thing, maybe? Or he could be watching for trouble; worse, he might already know that trouble is going to start and has arrived early. There was a tightening in his gut that had nothing to do with the mound of sugar that had just hit it. He was excited at the prospect of letting his powers out, but his damn parents were here. He just hoped that if something happened, they'd know enough to run for home or seek some good cover.
Munching on his apple - he didn't want to be seen throwing away something that his dad had spent good money on - he looked around for somewhere he could put his costume on if he had to. How do other heroes with a secret identity cope with this sort of thing? We can't all do a Superman-spin in a phone booth.
Megan and Cory made their way down the street toward the Haunted House. From where they stood on Broadway, they could see the line of people forming outside the warehouse, just across 60th St. As they prepared to cross the street and get in line . . .
WOOOOOOOOSH!
From the end of the block, near 61st St., a blinding red light flashed into the dark sky, illuminating the entire block. As quickly as it appeared, the light vanished, and in its place . . . A GIANT MONSTER! The creature was several stories tall and looked to be wrapped in dense white strips of material. It was, by all appearances, a giant mummy.
The creature began lumbering forward, down the street toward the citizens of Freedom City. The reaction to the appearance of the creature was mixed. Some people screamed. Some stood transfixed. Some applauded and cheered, believing it to be some sort of Halloween "amusement."
But the creature didn't look all that amused.

How Aon Hewitt gained Greater Insights with a sharp, new workflow tool
Cora SeQuence: The little engine that powered up a benefits management platform
Who we worked with
Aon Hewitt, a global leader in human resource solutions, with over 30,000 professionals on six continents serving more than 20,000 clients worldwide.
What the company needed
To speed up and simplify workflow in a global benefits administration system, with minimal input from IT, following the introduction of the company’s Greater Insight application.
How we helped
We brought in a precision workflow product, now called Cora SeQuence, that rapidly automated several previously time-consuming steps and was easy to put to work from day one.
What the company got
Today, the 2,000-plus people who use the new workflows are delighting clients by responding more quickly to their needs. Management has a better handle on operations, too.
A growing number of multinational companies need help managing their global benefit and compensation programs because of several challenges that they face. For one, they don’t have enough data on the true cost of employee benefit and compensation programs. They also find it hard to manage complex local plan designs, particularly at the regional level. Plus, employers are pressuring them for more robust management and forecasting tools. And internal staff who can manage employee benefits are often in short supply. These are some of the issues Aon Hewitt addresses for its clients.
Deploy a workflow tool that reacts just as well globally as it does locally — one that provides real insights into the business
Aon Hewitt empowers organizations and individuals to secure a better future through innovative talent, retirement, and health programs. The company helps its clients grow by improving the performance of employees. It shows workers how to navigate retirement risk while providing new levels of financial security. What’s more, it redefines health solutions for them, giving them greater choice, affordability, and wellness.
When Genpact came on the scene, Aon had just launched Greater Insight, a new benefits administration system application for its global clients that incorporated all of the company’s products. The new system was terrific, but the firm hadn’t been able to get the most out of it. They tried several solutions, but none of them had the right workflow tool. The company wanted a product that would help users create workflows with minimal disruption from IT.
Take a copy for yourself
SeQuence has proven its flexibility. For instance, it lets Aon’s users delegate cases to other users when an employee is out of the office.
Cora SeQuence, an easy-toconfigure workflow product that integrates smoothly with Aon’s great new app
After reviewing various business process management solutions, says Aon business analyst Robert Dawkins, the firm found that SeQuence was the most flexible product and the best fit for its requirements.
Aon has embedded SeQuence directly into Greater Insights — the front end of the system — to make it the workflow engine empowering the application. Meanwhile, the firm’s operations teams are building business processes supporting client needs using SeQuence’s easy-to-configure and flexible workflow-design interface. As a result, Aon’s clients now get better service because they can view case statuses online.
SeQuence’s business flow also directs work to the appropriate customer teams, who can access the Greater Insight web interface to keep track of the tasks they need to perform.
Increased speed and visibility
Here’s an example of how SeQuence serves the company’s helpdesk, which handles queries on employee benefits. Suppose an employee calls the helpdesk to ask about a childcare voucher gone missing. When that happens, an agent opens a case in the system and enters all the details. The agent then assigns this case to the administration team, which takes charge.
Before SeQuence, this process was manual and bottlenecks were a common problem. Staff used Excel spreadsheets and emails, and the turnaround time was much longer. Without visibility, errors like missed emails were inevitable. Now the process moves much faster, even on large teams where the potential for errors and delays previously was greatest.
SeQuence has proven its flexibility. For instance, it lets Aon’s users delegate cases to other users when an employee is out of the office. Administrators can even update case details themselves, where required.
Leaders now have management information at their fingertips. Users can see the status of their work and can also flag issues for management to address.
In summary, SeQuence helps Aon in the following ways:
Business users can create processes
Reduced IT involvement
Increased process speed
Fewer errors and greater accuracy
Better management visibility
Easier to track and delegate work
Aon is a company all about benefits, so it truly appreciates the ones SeQuence delivers.

Whitecaps thrilled to sign 'exciting' Ibini
Michael Huguenin
Goal Australia Chief Editor
The MLS side hope to bring their new recruit to Canada as soon as possible, with Vancouver's coach dismissing concerns surrounding a hamstring strain
Vancouver Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson has claimed Bernie Ibini has "great upside" and will provide the MLS side with a different option up front after signing the Australian from Club Brugge.
The Whitecaps completed Ibini's transfer from Brugge on Tuesday, ending the 24-year-old's injury-plagued stint at the Belgian Pro League club.
The powerful winger never played a competitive game for Brugge after breaking his leg and tearing knee ligaments in training before the 2015-16 season, while he spent this term on loan at Sydney FC, winning the A-League premiership but missing out on Sunday's grand final due to a hamstring strain.
COMMENT: Ninkovic just the start if Sydney are to defend A-League
Ibini made 20 appearances for the Sky Blues but only started once as he worked his way back from injury, scoring three goals
Robinson revealed Vancouver have had Ibini on their radar for "about six months" and predicted he will use the Central Coast Mariners youth product as both a winger and centre-forward.
"I think [the fans will] see an exciting young player, who's got power, strength and is direct and is quite an exciting player to watch when he's fully fit and in full flow. So he'll fit into the group very well," Robinson told reporters when asked to describe Ibini.
"As I said, he's different, he's got different characteristics.
COMMENT: Ibini's goal secures premiership for Sydney
"We've got some really good wide players, obviously forwards - a couple of them are injured at the moment - so he'll bring something a little bit different and allow us to go a different route if we want with [Colombian striker] Fredy [Montero]."
Bernie Ibini, Sydney FC
While reports in Australia indicated Ibini's latest injury might scupper the move to the Whitecaps - the Nigeria-born speedster still needs to complete a medical - Robinson labelled it a "slight hamstring issue".
Ibini moved from Nigeria to Australia when he was a child and grew up in Sydney before joining Central Coast's youth side in 2009 and eventually playing 61 A-League matches in his first stint with the Mariners.
Ibini: It's amazing to be back
A move to China followed in 2013 with Shanghai Dongya, the forerunner of Shanghai SIPG, before he returned to the Mariners on loan following the unexpected death of his father later that year.
Bernie Ibini, Central Coast Mariners
After a strong half-season with Central Coast, Ibini shone for Sydney in another loan stint in 2014-15 as the Sky Blues reached the A-League grand final, which lead to his transfer to Brugge.
Ibini has played two matches for the Socceroos with both appearances coming in October 2014.

Neymar makes PSG confident, but not unplayable - Meunier
Tom Webber
14:33 9/30/17
PSG v Bordeaux
The Brazilian was again instrumental as Unai Emery's men sailed to another big Ligue 1 win, but one player is keen to see them improve even further
Paris Saint-Germain are confident when Neymar has the ball, but Thomas Meunier insists they are not unbeatable.
Neymar produced a dazzling display as PSG thumped Bordeaux 6-2, scoring a sensational free-kick and a penalty either side of an assist for Edinson Cavani.
PSG 9/2 to win Champions League
Meunier was also on target – along with Julian Draxler and Kylian Mbappe – as Unai Emery's side handed Bordeaux their first defeat of the Ligue 1 season.
However, having been held to a goalless draw at Montpellier last weekend, the Belgian right-back was unwilling to get carried away by their latest result.
That gorgeous Mbappe flick That clever Neymar through ball That superb Cavani finish PSG's forwards are looking fierce! pic.twitter.com/40CXbpM0X9
— Goal (@goal) September 30, 2017
"We can see that it is working well with exceptional players," Meunier told Canal+. "Against an undefeated team we scored six goals. What more can you ask for?
"When Neymar has the ball we're pretty confident going forward, but we can still raise our level.
"We got a little complacent at 3-0. We could have finished the game much earlier.
"We are not unplayable. We saw against Montpellier that they resisted us well. There will be teams that block us and it's up to us to get through.
"If we avoid injuries and the team continues to go well, whether in the Champions League or Ligue 1, it's promising."
Jeremy Toulalan felt Neymar's fifth-minute free-kick severely knocked Bordeaux's confidence, admitting they were outplayed.
"There is not much to say. They are superior and we knew that. We had to have a great game and we didn't," said Toulalan.
"We came with good intentions but we conceded a goal quickly and it went from there. Congratulations to PSG.
"We wanted to play with our philosophy but they were on a high level and we were below what we know how to do. The number of goals hurts."

Fino Garcia, FC Dallas Premier
$40,225 of $100,000 goal
Raised by 405 people in 59 months
Inga King VanWagoner FRISCO, TX
Delfino "Fino" Garcia, of FC Dallas' Premier 98s, was a gifted and tremendously talented young man. His passion for the game of soccer was evident in his play on the pitch. His style was nothing less than a graceful mastery of domination on offense. The young men who shared the field with him were more like true brothers than teammates. After a match, they often said "Fino had my back."
Well known and respected in our North Texas soccer community, Fino Garcia has a lengthy list of accomplishments, including playing for his current team, FC Dallas' Premier 98s, as well as FC Dallas' Pre-Academy from 2010-2014 and FC Dallas' Development Academy. Fino was part of a three-peat Championship win at North Texas' 2014 State Cup, wins at the 2013 Region III Championship and play at the 2013 National Championship in addition to another visit to this year's 2014 Regional Championship and the Dallas Cup Finals. He was also named ESPN's 2012 Copa Most Valuable Player.
On Sunday, August 24, 2014, while at home, Fino suffered a ruptured blood vessel in the brain, depleting his brain of oxygen, leaving him with no brain activity and unable to breathe on his own. He was placed on life-support at Children's Hospital of Dallas. After extensive testing, doctors determined the condition was present since birth and could not have been prevented. No treatment was possible. Fino passed peacefully on Thursday, August 28, 2014.
The sudden and tragic loss of this young man has been felt by so many. Family, friends, former and current teammates and coaches, Fino touched all of our lives. Out of this great heartache, Fino still finds a way to bless others. It was his wish to be an organ donor. In this way, Fino's spirit will live on.
Please consider donating to support the Garcia family. All donations will go toward Fino's medical expenses and related costs. Please share this link with others to increase the opportunity for others to give their support.

A note from Judy, a family friend:
Within 5 minutes of meeting Fino’s Mom, Veronica, I knew three things: 1. She loved her children and would do anything for them 2. She loved Jesus 3. She and I would become good friends
Veronica would often tell me stories of Fino’s extroverted personality and his ability to make friends with everyone. She would often recite the number of friends and soccer players she had in her house the night before. I remember telling her that it was a blessing, because she and Fino would never be alone in life. I did not expect that statement to become so relevant, so soon.
From the Garcia Family:
Friends, Family, Teammates and Supporters:
With our deepest gratitude, we thank you for everything you have done to help support our family during this difficult time. It is hard to list every single act of kindness by name.
You were there for us during our most difficult time when Fino was in the hospital. You held his hand and spoke to him. You prayed for him. You hugged our family. You researched and talked to the Dr’s to understand about his condition. You brought us food and supplies. You wept with us and for us. You lifted him up in your prayers and churches across the country. You carried us when we could not walk. You did things for us that we could not think to do because we were so focused on getting our son, our brother to wake up.
You were there for us afterwards, and still are. The kind words, the support, prayers, donations, food, hugs, the notes in the guestbook, gravesite visits and your compassion will never be forgotten. At a recent FC Dallas game, there was a moment of silence in his honor. There were banners flying around the stadium to celebrate our son and brother. The Fino Garcia Memorial Tournament was held on Saturday October 11, 2014 at Dallas Soccer League. Chick-fil-a supported us with a Spirit Week for Fino. There have been so many people who have banded together to make us feel cared for. It brings tears to our eyes and joy to our heart to know Fino touched so many lives and is loved by so many.
Because of YOU we have never felt alone and never will.
With Sincere Gratitude,
The Garcia Family
This site on behalf of the Garcia Family will close soon. My personal thanks to all who took time to share and post here in loving memory of Fino.
God Bless, Inga Van Wagoner
FC Dallas 98s
Today FC Dallas and club president Dan Hunt presented the Garcia family with a custom blue hoops jersey. Autographed by the pro team players, the jersey is complete with Fino's name and number 28 on the back.
At the club's invitation, Mom Veronica, dad Delfino, brother Eric and sister Clarissa were all present at a closed team training session this morning. Also present were Dan Hunt and FC Dallas coaches, some who have trained Fino in past years and know the family personally. This Saturday's match up between FC Dallas and the Vancouver Whitecaps will feature a moment of silence in Fino's honor.
Earlier this week, MLS team Chicago Fire posted their condolences and donation to this page. Scroll below to read their message of support. Please continue to forward and share Fino's story. The gracious support and heartfelt prayers received have been a true comfort to the Garcias. On their behalf, I give my deepest gratitude.
Thank you, Inga Van Wagoner, FC Dallas 98s
FC Dallas honors Fino with custom jersey
Today would have been Fino's 17th birthday.
He is present in our thoughts and in our hearts. And even though the path to healing is long, we know he is with us every step.
This was posted recently in memory of Fino:
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget."
- Author Unknown
I continue to thank every person and family and team that has supported the Garcia family. Your generosity and kind words and prayers truly are a comfort.
Happy Birthday Fino, you are with us always.
Inga Van Wagoner, FC Dallas 98s
Today we came together to celebrate Fino's life before he was laid to rest. Services began at 10am at St. Lukes Catholic Church in Irving, TX. Fino's teammates escorted the casket into the church followed by his family. A loving eulogy (attached below) was created and read in English by Inga Van Wagoner, an FC Dallas 98s parent and in Spanish by FC Dallas Coach Jesse Suarez. At the closing of the ceremony, the players again escorted the casket out in preparation for the procession. Fino was laid to rest at Grand Prairie Memorial Gardens, following a release of white balloons by family, teammates and friends.
Veronica and Delfino Garcia and family send their deepest gratitude for all of your prayers, condolences and donations. They are quite simply at a loss for words to express the magnitude of their appreciation. I ask that you continue to remember them in your daily blessings as they adjust to their loss. The many sentiments from everyone on this support page will be printed, bound and given to them so that they can take comfort in your words and wishes for healing.
This page will remain open at the request of many who have asked if they may still post donations. Thank you for your generosity, please feel free to continue to share this link in Fino's memory. ~Inga
Delfino "Fino" Garcia ~ Eulogy
It does not matter the size of the stone that you toss into the water.
What matters are how far the ripples will reach.
Delfino "Fino" Garcia, was born September 8, 1997 in Chicago to parents Veronica and Delfino. He has one brother Erick and one sister Clarissa and a loving family of relatives and friends who are here today to celebrate his life.
Fino’s passion for the game of soccer started early at age 4, playing for his first team, the Tecos. When Fino was 8, the family moved to Grand Prairie, Texas and his soccer story grew. His next team was the Pumas, then Andromeda, and finally FC Dallas. Many of you here today were his teammate or one of his coaches: Francisco Molina, Gabby Gentile, Josema Bazan, Jesse Suarez and Scott Dymond. Whether you played with him or against him, soccer was a special experience with Fino in the game. A gifted and tremendously talented player, he possessed a quiet strength and showed graceful skill on the pitch. Ask any of the young men who shared the field with him on his current team, FC Dallas 98s—they will tell you they were more like brothers than teammates. After a match, they often said "Fino had my back."
Fino was well-known and respected in our North Texas soccer community, and had a lengthy list of accomplishments, including playing for FC Dallas' Pre-Academy and FC Dallas' Development Academy. He was named ESPN's 2012 Copa Most Valuable Player, travelling with the 98s to the ESPN Sports Complex at Walt Disney World, Florida. Some of us remember that was his very first time to travel by plane! Fino was part of FC Dallas wins at the 2013 Region III Championship and play at the 2013 National Championship, a Three-peat Championship win at North Texas' 2014 State Cup, and another visit to this year's 2014 Regional Championship and Dallas Cup Finals.
But Fino was more than a gifted soccer player. Much more. It has been said, “Family is not Everything. It is the Only thing” and Fino placed his family above all else. To his father Delfino, he was “Picitos de Oro—little pieces of gold.” Fino would choose to leave early from a friend’s just to be sure his mom Veronica was not alone or that she got home safely. His sister Clarissa was on the sidelines the Sunday morning of Fino’s last game. He hugged her afterwards. He held onto her for just a moment longer than usual. He told his sister he loved her. She said he didn’t normally do that.
There have been literally hundreds of posts to the website online honoring Fino. Some of the posts read:
Playing with and against him was truly a blessing, and always drove me to be at my best, his smile and attitude taught me to love life to the fullest and never take anything for granted.
Having watched Fino play when he was younger, I knew he was going to be an amazing soccer player. He loved to play. I remember how happy he was playing with his friends, always smiling. Such a wonderful person!
Fino was a student of mine from my first year of teaching…He was a great kid and will never be forgotten.
We remember him always happy, having a great heart caring for animals and insects, one being his scorpion and going to get crickets to feed it!
Finito was a remarkable young man that was loved by our entire family. Fino leaves us but his smile and spirit will remain forever.
I'm sure he's in heaven playing among some of the greatest to ever play the game!
I thought I could be a mentor to him. Turns out, he was mentoring me.
You always saw the good things in life and made me see them too, I'm so blessed to have had you in my life and to have known you.
It was an honor to have played with Fino…my friend, he will be missed.
And we all have endless funny stories! On our team, we always asked Fino to say his teammate’s last name “Van Wagoner.” He couldn’t pronounce it! But he could always make us laugh trying!
Six. That’s the number of lives Fino saved because he chose to be an organ donor. His family knew this was his wish. And they honored it.
His heart was given to a teenager Fino’s age.
His liver went to a young child.
His right kidney to a younger teen.
His left kidney to another child.
His pancreas to a 50 year old woman.
His lungs to a 60 year old man.
Even in our sorrow, Fino helps us see joy in giving. He gave the greatest gift of all--Life. And so, he lives on.
Our loss was felt by many more than we have gathered here today. Support and prayers have come from MLS.com, Sacramento Republic FC, LA Galaxy, Chicago Fire, Toronto FC and New England Revolution FC and of course, FC Dallas, Classic League and Regional Premier League.
All of us have been blessed to know Fino. To love him, to play alongside him, to coach him. All of us have been blessed to share joy and sorrow with him, wins and losses with him. You see, Fino is that stone, creating ripples that have reached all of us. Fino left a beautiful mark on the lives of the people he knew. He showed us how to give and live selflessly. He is that stone. He created a ripple effect. We can all learn from Fino—To bless our family. To cherish our friendships. To create our own ripple effect. To give and to live for others. I cannot think of a better way to honor Fino and to say, “We have your back.”
God Bless. Inga VanWagoner

2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale is racetrack ready
The 2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale.
by Jesse See, www.jessesee.com
21st May 2014 10:58 AM
FOR this week's blog, I am featuring one of the fastest accelerating (and also one of the most aggressive looking) road legal Ferrari's of all time, the 2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale.
The Speciale is what the Scuderia is to the F430 and what the Challenge Stradale is to the 360, a stripped down hard-core version of a standard Ferrari model, in this case a 458 Italia.
The engine is the same as in the 458 Italia, but it's tuned up to produce a whopping 445kW (597 hp) at 9000rpm and 540Nm of torque (398 lb-ft of torque) at 6000rpm.
This means that the horsepower is up by 35 over the standard car, and there is also more torque across the entire rev range.
The engine is also the most potent non-turbo V8 that Ferrari has ever put in one of their road cars.
Jesse See.
This model also has a kerb weight of 1395 kilograms, 90 kilograms less than a 458 Italia.
All of these enhancements allow the Ferrari 458 Speciale to achieve a 0-100 kph acceleration time of just three seconds, which is a mighty 0.4 of a second faster than a 458 Italia, and 0.1 of a second faster than the much more expensive F12 Berlinetta.
Top speed will be reached at 325 kph (202 mph).
Besides the engine, weight and performance enhancements the Speciale features over it's 458 counterpart, this model is equipped with a new SSC setting on the Manettino, which stands for Side Slip Control.
This basically allows you to go sideways in the car but with the ESC system still engaged, and if you get a little out of shape the car swoops in and saves you.
It also features new generation ceramic brakes similar to the LaFerrari, active aerodynamics which balances downforce and cuts drag, a faster steering response, stiffer chassis and much more.
The 2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale is well ahead of its time in the automotive world, basically blowing away competitors and, it could quite possibly be the best drivers car on the market today. If you would like to purchase a 2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale in Australia, prices start at $550,000 plus on-road costs.
Although, you may have to wait a while as there is currently a two-year waiting list.

Lara-Bipasha fight for sex symbol tag
By Contributor | 04 Nov 2003 00:00:00 IST
If you cannot show off your acting talents, then better show off your body. Well, that's what seems to be the mantra in Bollywood, looking at the number of films where actresses are ready to reveal themselves to any extent. Although Bipasha Basu is considered the hot bod of Bollywood, many feel that she has hardly any talent and in the long run, it is the talent that will retain, not the body.Meanwhile, Bipasha has a very strong competition from Lara Dutta whose 'Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost' won her the sex symbol tag. But, Lara or Bipasha cannot rest on past laurels. Seems like their forthcoming film 'No Entry' will be an arena for body display. Says Lara, "Bipasha's propensity to take off her clothes is well known. But I am not about to let her reputation cow me down. Let Bipasha wake up to the fact that she has competition. I too want the sex symbol tag and have already staked my claim in Andaaz."
It seems Boman Irani will be an actor the Hindi film industry doesn't get tired of.

“The status quo must change.” – Adesina tells FinDev Canada conference in Montreal
Launched six months ago, FinDev’s mandate is to support the growth and sustainability of businesses in developing markets
“No country can possibly move forward in the 21st century if it leaves half of its talent on the sidelines,” African Development (www.AfDB.org) President, Akinwumi Adesina told delegates at the launch of FinDev Canada, in Montreal, while making the Bank’s case for supporting women.
FinDev Canada is a subsidiary of Export Development Canada (EDC), the country’s export credit agency.
Launched six months ago, FinDev’s mandate is to support the growth and sustainability of businesses in developing markets.
According to Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Development, “With its universities, international organizations and multicultural population, Montreal is the ideal home for FinDev Canada. From its Montreal base I am confident it will play a critical role in advancing our country’s international development agenda by offering a blend of public and private capital and building partnerships with businesses in developing countries, especially those operated by women and youth.”
Adesina gave the keynote address at the inaugural conference.
“All of us in this room understand the need to support women instinctively. Many of us have come from places – and have family in places – where the labor of women is absolutely essential to holding communities together. And yet so often, their labor is not even fully recognized. And all too often, women are denied their fair share of wages for equal work,” he said.
According to Adesina, the challenge was not just in Africa or even in North America. “In every society, this challenge represents a truly foolish squandering of resources.”
The status quo that must change
The President of the African Development Bank called for an end to the status quo on gender as women and youth are the backbone of countless small businesses. “All too often, women are denied their fair share of wages for equal work. The status quo must change. “We know that investing in women can create a true multiplier effect in communities. Women reinvest up to 90% of their income on their families and in their communities. That money goes toward feeding and educating children, and paying for doctor’s visits.”
Adesina urged partners to work strategically, innovatively, and collaboratively to bridge the estimated $42 billion financing gap between men and women. “While societal limitations and belief systems often kill many a woman’s dream, it is often at the bank counter that dreams come crashing down. Without collateral and without access to land or other financial resources, the bank is the end of the road for many women entrepreneurs,” he deplored.
Working visit to strengthen bilateral ties with Canada
Montreal is the first stop of President Adenisa’s four day working tour in Canada. The Bank’s President is leading a delegation along with David Stevenson, Executive Director at the Bank representing Canada, China, Republic of Korea, Turkey and Kuwait. Other senior members of the delegation include Stella Kilonzo, Senior Director of the Africa Investment Forum; Vanessa Moungar, Director for Gender, Women and Civil Society; Timothy Turner, Group Chief Risk Officer, and Victor Oladokun, Director of Communication.
Before his keynote address at FinDev, President Adesina held bilateral talks with Paul Lamontagne, Managing Director of FinDev Canada.

25 reasons running is better than the gym
Health Recommended
First, a disclaimer: We love the gym. We love strength trainingOpens a New Window. with free weights and workout machinesOpens a New Window.. And there’s tons of reasons you should do it whether you’re looking to build muscle, shed fat and calories, or simply amp up your overall health. But, there’s a slew of benefits specific to runningOpens a New Window. that together make a pretty strong case for any guy to consider becoming a runner. From the aesthetic benefits to the mental perks, there’s a reason why 19 million people Opens a New Window.finished races in the US last year. While we’re not saying you should quit the gym (please don’t), we are saying you should consider taking up running, too. Here’s 25 reasons why.
1. Running can help you live longer
Runners live longer than those who don’t. In one Archives of Internal MedicineOpens a New Window.study, researchers followed about 1,000 adults (ages 50 and older) for 21 years. At the end of the study, 85 percent of the runners were still kicking it, while only 66 percent of the non-runners were alive. Yikes.
2. Running can get you high
The runner’s high is real: Mounting research, including one study published in Experimental TechnologyOpens a New Window., shows that when we run, our brains pump out endocannabinoids, cannabis-like molecules that keep runners happy—and hooked.
3. Running doesn’t require a commute
Sure, your gym workout might only take an hour, but getting to and from the gym takes another 30 minutes. But the second you step out of your front door, you can be running, says Moen. After all, you spend enough of your time in the car. What’s more: Running can be your commute!
4. Running fights off beer bellies
As you age, pounds just have a way of gluing themselves to your stomach. But in one Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseOpens a New Window. study of more than 100,000 runners, those who ran 35 or more miles per week gained less weight in their bellies throughout their mid-life years than those who ran less than nine.
5. Running can help score you Vitamin D
The human body gets most of its vitamin D from sun exposure, but since people spend all of their time indoors, well, you know how it goes. That explains why 41.6 percent of Americans are deficient in the vitamin, according to research published in Nutrition ResearchOpens a New Window.. Taking your run outside can help boost your levels to ward off depression, prevent type 2 diabetes, and strengthen your bones.
6. Running burns crazy calories
“An average one-hour weight-training workout at the gym burns about 300 calories. The typical hour-long run burns about twice that,” explains American Council on Exercise-certified personal trainer Tammie Dubberly, a running coach with Whole Body FitnessOpens a New Window. in Portland, Oregon. Meanwhile, in one study from the Medical College of Wisconsin and the VA Medical Center, researchers found that the treadmill (used at a “hard” level) burned an average of 705 to 865 calories in an hour. The stair-climber, rower, and stationary bike all burned far fewer cals.
7. Running doesn’t require a ton of equipment
“If you’ve got shoes, shorts, and a shirt, you are good to go,” Fitzgerald says. “You can’t say that about many other workouts.” No machines, dumbbells, or even mats required.
8. You can run anywhere
Running will take you a heck of a lot farther than the four walls of your gym. “You can run anywhere in the world. There are literally races in Antarctica and the Sahara Desert,” Fitzgerald says. OK, most guys won’t go that far. But a weekend away won’t wreck your workout routine.
9. You can run at any time
The trail is never closed. Whether you want to get in a workout at 2pm or 2am, you can go for it, says Erik Moen, P.T., founder of Corpore Sano Physical TherapyOpens a New Window.in Washington.
10. Your dog can run with you
Dogs typically aren’t welcome in the gym. But they are right at home on the trail. They even get endocannabinoid-fueled runner’s highs similar to those of their two-legged friends, according to researchOpens a New Window. from the University of Arizona
11. Running turns you into the Energizer bunny
“Running is such a great cardiovascular workout that it makes it so that you don’t get tired as easily from any given workload,” Fitzgerald says. “For example, if I’m helping a friend move, I can carry boxes all day long and it’s not a big deal.”
12. Running strengthens your bones
Unlike every other aerobic workout you can crank out in the gym, running is high impact, meaning it loads and remakes your bones along with your muscles. “Swimming, cycling, and working on the elliptical don’t train your bones,” says Jason Fitzgerald, a USA Track & Field-certified coach and the founder of Strength RunningOpens a New Window.. “If those are the only things you do, you’re at risk for weak bones and osteoporosis.”
13. Running helps you reach your goals
“Running makes you very goal-oriented. You’re always trying to achieve new PRs, and you know that you can’t just beat your goal in a day. It takes time, work, and consistency,” Fitzgerald says. That mindset, and practice working toward running goals, can pay off in helping you reach other career, financial, and personal goals.
14. Running makes you tenacious
“Running builds a tenacity and mental toughness that translates into every area of your life,” Fitzgerald says. If you can handle getting through 26.2 miles, you can handle anything.
15. Running fights off the common cold
“If you’re starting to feel sick, an easy 30-minute run can stimulate the immune system to help fight off a cold before it has a chance to take hold,” Fitzgerald says. In one British Journal of Sports Medicine StudyOpens a New Window., people who performed aerobic activity at least five days a week suffered from upper respiratory tract infections 43 percent less often than those who got in less aerobic activity. Plus, when runners did catch colds, their symptoms were much less severe.
16. Running’s perfect for any fitness level
You might not be able to just jump into Olympic weightlifting. But you can just wake up one morning and decide to go on your first run, Janet Hamilton, C.S.C.S., exercise physiologist with Running StrongOpens a New Window. in Atlanta. Plus, decades later, you still won’t have outgrown it. You can customize every running workout so that you never plateau
17. Running’s social
“These days it seems that gyms are quieter than libraries,” Dubberly says. But on the trail, everyone’s chatting. Whether you run with one buddy, or join in a running club, the sport is all about community. And post-run happy hours.
18. Running’s meditative
More of a solo exerciser? That’s cool. “Running can be a time to zen out to your own thoughts,” ultrarunner Sarah EvansOpens a New Window., C.P.T., a personal trainer and running coach in San Francisco.
19. Running is never the same
Contrary to what non-runners might think, every run is different, and it doesn’t have to be boring. You can mix it up so many ways, from running hills, going on tempo runs, performing intervals, or mixing it up between the road and the trail, Evans says.
20. You’re made to run
“Running is the best workout because it’s the most basic human form of exercise, using your own body, weight, and two legs to propel yourself forward,” Evans says. It’s as functional as workouts get.
21. Running boosts your mood
All runner’s highs aside, running can help your disposition all day long. For instance, a 2012 studyOpens a New Window. out of Switzerland found that running for just 30 minutes every morning for three weeks significantly improved subject’s sleep quality as well as mood and concentration levels throughout the day.
22. Running is an excuse to eat carbs
And not just whole grain “healthy” carbs. We are talking refined pasta, white bread, and cookies. Simple, fast-acting carbohydrates are a runner’s best fuel, and upping your intake—strategically—can help you run better, and recover faster, per research published in the Journal of Applied PhysiologyOpens a New Window.. Some runners even eat Skittles on their long runs to stay energized, Hamilton says.
23. It strengthens your knees
No, running doesn’t wreck your knees. It does the exact opposite. ResearchOpens a New Window. from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory shows that running (even marathoning!) decreases the risk of knee osteoarthritis. That may be because running increases the flow of nutrients to the cartilage in your knee while also strengthening the ligaments around the joint.
24. Running can make over your heart
“First and foremost, running is an aerobic sport,” Fitzgerald says. By training your body’s aerobic (oxygen-sucking) metabolism, it strengthens your heart while lowering your resting heart rate, blood pressure, and cholesterol. And guess what? Aerobic exercise is, by far, the most time-efficient form of exercise for improving your heart health, according to research published in The American Journal of CardiologyOpens a New Window..
25. It keeps your eyes healthy
When most guys think about exercise benefits, they probably don’t think about their vision. But 2013 research published in Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseOpens a New Window. shows that people who run an average of five miles or more a day have a 41 percent lower risk of developing cataracts, the leading cause of age-related vision loss and blindness. While the exact reason is yet to be known, it could have to do with the fact that running reduces the likelihood of developing high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, both of which can contribute to cataracts.

Largest UK Breach Penalty Appealed
Incident Involved Selling Hard Drives on Internet Jeffrey Roman (gen_sec) • June 4, 2012
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust is appealing a £325,000 fine for a breach involving hard drives containing healthcare information on tens of thousands of individuals that were sold on the Internet.
See Also: The Application Security Team's Framework For Upgrading Legacy Applications
The £325,000 fine is the largest since the UK Information Commissioner's Office began issuing civil monetary penalties in April 2010, according to a news release.
The hospitals trust is appealing the fine on the grounds that it arranged for an experienced IT service provider to dispose of the hard drives and that it acted swiftly to recover the hard drives put up for sale on eBay.
"We reported all of this voluntarily to the Information Commissioner's Office, who told me last summer that this was not a case worthy of a fine," says Duncan Selbie, chief executive of Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, in a statement.
The compromised information on the hard drives, which were sold in October and November 2010, included details about some patients with HIV, according to the ICO. The drives included patients' medical conditions, treatment, disability living allowance forms and children's reports. It also included hospital staff details, including National Insurance numbers, home addresses, ward and hospital IDs and information relating to criminal convictions and suspected offenses.
Breach Details
The ICO says a staff member at Sussex Health Informatics Service, a contractor, was responsible for destroying approximately 1,000 hard drives held in a room accessed by key code at Brighton General Hospital in September and October 2010. "A data recovery company bought four hard drives from a seller on an Internet auction site in December 2010, who had purchased them from the [Sussex Health Informatics Service staff member]," according to the news release.
In its initial investigation, the ICO was assured that only the four hard drives were affected in the breach. However, a university contacted the ICO in April 2011 explaining that a student had purchased 20 hard drives via an Internet auction site that contained data that belonged to the trust.
Based on an examination by the ICO, at least 15 out of the 20 hard drives contained sensitive information, the penalty notice explains.
The ICO said that the individual designated to destroy the 1,000 hard drives removed at least 252 of them rather than destroying them. Of those 252, at least 232 were sold online in two batches in October and November 2010. According to the penalty notice, attempts have been made by the police and the hospitals trust to recover the 232 hard drives. "These have all now been accounted for although not all of them have been recovered," the ICO said.
The large fine in this case "sets an example for all organizations - both public and private - of the importance of keeping personal information secure," says David Smith, ICO's deputy commissioner and director of data protection.
The Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust has committed to providing a secure central store for hard drives and other media and is reviewing its vendor vetting process, the ICO says.

Poster to Poster Volume 8
16th March 2017 Nigel Devereux Reviews
By Richard Furness (hardback, Poster to Poster Publishing, 254pp, £40 (£35 + p&p from
www.postertoposter.co.uk), ISBN 978 0 9562092 7 6)
It’s been a marathon, writes Geoff Courtney, with every step being recorded in Heritage Railway. Now, though, it’s over, and Richard and Judi Furness can relax in the glow of an astonishing series of handsome coffee-table books that has raised the profile of railway posters to a new and previously unattained level.
Volume 8 is the last – is that a sigh of relief I can hear from Richard and Judi? – and is at the very least the equal of the previous seven. Vibrant colour and facts leap from every page, as does the enthusiasm Richard feels for the subject. That enthusiasm is infectious, and there can be few railway enthusiasts who have read any of the previous volumes and not warmed to a part of the steam era scene that we trainspotters of the 1950s and early 60s took for granted at best, ignored at worst.
Volume 8 brings the curtain down on the series by casting its net overseas, to southern Ireland, Europe, Canada, the USA and Australia.
There’s a Trans-Australian Railway poster bearing the unlikely image of a camel-riding farmer who could almost be a frontiersman watching a Perth-bound steam train pass by, a brilliant Sante Fe poster promoting Arizona that is reminiscent of a scene straight out of a John Wayne movie, and a Chemin de Fer d’Orléans example that gives Chateau d’Amboise a cathedral-like presence.
As volume 8 winds down it turns to the UK to cover the social support railways have provided since their very earliest days, embracing holidays, hotels and industry. The first subject includes a fascinating series of 1936 Southern Railway posters by Audrey Weber (1891-1982) promoting rambles through the four seasons – a horse-drawn plough illustrates spring, a horse-drawn hay cart summer, an early tractor (with SR 1935 registration plate) on threshing duties in autumn, and a horse rider and dog in snow representing winter.
The section on hotels gives Richard an excuse to include a wonderful LNER poster depicting elegantly-dressed ladies in the restaurant of the Great Eastern Hotel at Liverpool Street, and in industry there is an eye-catching illustration by Norman Wilkinson (1878-1971) dating from 1910 of four tracks arrowing away from the foreground, beneath which the LNWR modestly proclaims: “The best permanent way in the world.” No worries about the Advertising Standards Authority
back then.
So it’s come to an end, after 15 years, half a million words, 2100 pages, more than 3000 images of posters. 20,000 man-hours of research and writing, profiles on nearly 500 poster artists, and two book awards. A monumental achievement that has been acclaimed by BBC Antiques Roadshow expert and railway enthusiast Paul Atterbury as “one of the most ambitious and spectacular set of books in recent publishing history”.
A trawl through websites selling past volumes does, indeed, support Paul’s praise, with copies of volume 6 covering the North West of the UK, which is out of print and now a collector’s piece, being advertised for prices in excess of £1000. Poster to Poster has indeed been a success all round.

What are 5 Types of Heroin?
Have you heard about the Opiod epidemic that’s sweeping our nation? Stories of heroin abuse, addiction and overdoses are in the headlines every day. It is impacting families everywhere.
Heroin is a powerful, illegal opioid drug on its own. Today, dealers often combine heroin with other substances like fentanyl, multiplying its potency—and also its life-threatening dangers. Buying heroin on the street is a roll-of-the-dice. You can never really know the precise make-up or strength of the drug you may use. As evidenced in all those headlines—heroin is a killer.
If you or someone you love has developed a heroin addiction, seek help immediately. Speak confidentially with a counselor right now. Make the call. (844) 747-7772.
Heroin comes in many forms, colors, textures and cuts, and the most popular type of heroin can vary by region. Here is a breakdown of five of the most popular types of heroin today—
1. White Powder Heroin
Most heroin sold east of the Mississippi River is a white to off-white powder that comes from Mexico and South America. Although white powder heroin is more refined than other forms of the drug, heroin sold on the streets is never pure heroin. Dealers typically mix the drug with cutting agents to stretch their supply and increase profit.
Common cutting agents include lactose, quinine, talc, sugar and caffeine. These additives can change what heroin looks like. They account for variations in color, which can range from white to beige to pink. White powder heroin sometimes smells like vinegar and has a bitter taste. The fine white powder can easily be mistaken for cocaine.
2. Black Tar Heroin
Black tar heroin is a dark-colored form of heroin that ranges from a gooey consistency to a hard, rock-like form. Produced in Mexico, black tar heroin is the most common type of heroin available west of the Mississippi River. But recently it’s been turning up more frequently in the Midwest and even on the East Coast.
Sometimes called chiva, Mexican tar or black, black tar is less refined than powder forms of heroin. The dark color, which can range from a deep red color to dark brown to black, comes from contaminants in the refinement process. This form tends to have a strong vinegar smell.
3. Brown Powder
Brown powder heroin, also produced in Mexico, is an increasingly common form of heroin. Brown powder used to be sold primarily in the western United States, but it is also showing up in cities in the Midwest and along the East Coast.
Often called Mexican brown, brown powder is more refined than black tar heroin but less expensive than white powder heroin. Some brown powder is created from black tar heroin that is crushed and cut with other additives to make it easier to snort.
Because it can be smoked or snorted and doesn’t have to be injected with a needle, brown powder has gained popularity among suburban teens and others who might never before have considered using heroin.
4. China White
China White used to refer to a very pure form of white powder heroin from Southeast Asia. Today, people usually use the name as slang for powder heroin mixed with fentanyl or other designer versions of fentanyl. China White can also refer to fentanyl alone.
The drug has earned a lethal reputation, as fentanyl-laced heroin has been linked to the recent spike in opioid-related overdose deaths. Compared to heroin, fentanyl is 25 to 50 times stronger.
5. Speedball
A speedball is a mix of heroin and a stimulant, such as cocaine. While the heroin acts on the central nervous system to slow breathing and cause drowsiness, the cocaine revs up the heart and blood pressure and causes anxiety. Some have called this a push-pull dynamic.
Speedballing can lead to a stroke, heart attack, aneurysm or respiratory failure. Speedballs are also increasingly tainted with fentanyl.
Other Types of Heroin
Amid the ongoing opioid epidemic, other forms of heroin are appearing on the streets. These designer drugs often contain a dangerous mix of heroin and other drugs. Neither dealers nor buyers know exactly what’s in the product. Users have no idea what they’re ingesting or how potent—and potentially lethal—it is.
Let Us Help You Find Treatment Options
Don’t let an opioid addiction take over your life. Our staff is standing by to answer any questions you might have about drug abuse, addiction, or treatment.
It’s important to recognize, abuse and addiction don’t happen in a vacuum. The path to recovery and wholeness involves getting to the root the problem. To get at underlying hurt and bring lasting healing takes a holistic—spirit, mind and body—approach to addiction diagnosis, management and treatment.

Call OF Duty : Ghosts PC Game Free Download
Game Information:
Call of Duty: Ghost full game is a single and multiplayer first-person shooter game, developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision on 5 November, 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. It is the tenth major installment in the Call of Duty series.
Outnumbered and Outgunned but not Outmatched
Call of Duty: Ghosts pc game is an exotic addition in one of the biggest entertainment franchise of all-time. This time, the game enables the players not to fight for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive. Call of Duty: Ghosts now delivers stunning levels of immersions and performance, having the speed and fluidity of 60 frames-per-second across all platforms.
Single Player Campaign
As the devastating mass event has taken place, the America’s borders and the balance of global power have changed forever. As what’s left of the nation’s Special Operations forces, a mysterious group known only as “Ghosts” leads the fight back against a newly emerged, technologically-superior global power. A New Call of Duty Universe: For the first time in franchise history, players will take on the underdog role with Call of Duty: Ghosts; outnumbered and outgunned, players must battle to claim again a fallen nation in a highly personal narrative. Unlike its predecessors, Call of Duty: Ghosts features an entirely new cast of characters and visit locales in a changed world.
Playing Call of Duty: Ghosts, you do not just design a class; you design a soldier, a first for the franchise. If the player uses Creat-A-Soldier system, he can change the physical appearance of his soldier by selecting the head, body type, head-gear and equipment, and for the very first time in Call of Duty game, the player can also select his gender. For the multiplayer, there are new dynamic maps in the game. The whole landscape enables and forces the players to change tactics and strategies. Call of Duty: Ghosts introduces new tactical player movements. The new contextual lean system now allows players to lean around obstacles without adding button combinations or fully leaving cover. The new mantling system allows fluid movement over objects, while maintaining momentum. The knee slide allows for a natural transition from sprinting crouching to prone. Call of Duty: Ghosts delivers over 20 NEW Kill Streaks in Call of Duty: Ghosts – such as Juggernaut Maniac, the Helo Scout, the Vulture and the ODIN Strike. Players can even bring in guard dog Riley, from the single-player campaign, to protect and also to attack enemies. There are also over 30 NEW weapons, including an entirely new weapon class: Marksman Rifles.
A new feature, Extinction is introduced for one to four players in survival gameplay, base defense, player customization and class leveling. If you are playing Extinction, teamwork and communication are important. This is because your team confronts a brutal menace which has invaded an isolated Colorado town and you must rid of the threat by any means available.
The player can also create his own team up to 6 of them into the battle in the new Squads mode. This mode is the best source for the player to play solo or cooperatively with the custom troops built and leveled up in multiplayer. If the player makes a choice for his Squad members, it will directly affect the AI behavior of his squad-mates. Moreover, if the player proved his soldier with a sniper, he will act like a sniper, and an SMG guy will be more run and gun.

Tokyo Fall 2014– Our Largest IHBB Asia Regional!
Tokyo is always a treat for us at IHBB, as it comes with some of the most enthusiastic young history scholars. India International School of Japan sent a remarkable twelve teams from their two campuses to compete against the likes of St. Maur, Canadian International School, Global Indian, and host International School of the Sacred Heart.
The Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions were small but well-spirited as they battled it out round-by-round. In the finals, Canadian International School used their 50 point advantage from winning the preliminaries to secure the win in the Varsity division. India International B’s undefeated status went unchanged after overcoming St. Maur’s two-person team in the Junior Varsity final.
In the middle school division, the 15-team competition was fierce. Many of India International’s students attended the 2013-2014 season’s Asian Championships in Hong Kong, and their experience against the top teams in Asia coupled with their base history knowledge propelled them into the front. Not to be outdone, Global Indian B made it into the semifinals among the three IISJ teams (C, E, and J), but were ultimately trumped by runner-up IISJ E. India International C snagged the winning title, led by Bee runner-up Neel Date.
We hope that everyone had a wonderful time, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone at our next Tokyo tournament at IISJ on February 7th, 2015!

Home News Review: ‘Scream: Resurrection’ Episodes Three and Four
Review: ‘Scream: Resurrection’ Episodes Three and Four
Waylon Jordan
VH1’s Scream: Resurrection continues its special three-night event today airing episodes three and four beginning at 9 pm EST.
Episode Three opens on Halloween and as the Deadfast Club continues to try to figure out the identity of the killer behind the Ghostface mask, they still can’t seem to get together on the best way to do that.
Unfortunately, the indecision leads to some seriously contrived plot points, another murder or two, and sadly utter confusion in more than one instance.
Ghostface is working hard to cast doubt among this unlikely group of friends, and it isn’t hard considering most of their connections are tenuous at best. Their nerves are fraying and by the end of episode four their survival instincts are kicking in.
As I said in my review of the first two episodes, the writers really went for it, trying to underline the fact that this is SCREAM. Sorry for all the caps, but that’s how it feels watching some of this particular story play out.
Don’t get me wrong, I applaud what they’re attempting to do with this season, but I just wish they weren’t trying so hard to get it done.
Fortunately, the cast seems totally committed to their roles, even when they, themselves, seem frustrated by its superfluous twists and turns.
RJ Cyler again turns in a strong performance as Deion, and Keke Palmer is turned up to 11 as Kym.
However, it’s Giullian Yao Gioiello who takes on the emotional center of tonight’s episodes. Some of his moments in the role of Manny feel genuinely honest and raw especially as we see him step up to help his friends.
Do these moments make up for some of the rather clumsy storytelling elsewhere? Not entirely, but they do help!
Again episodes three and four of Scream: Resurrection will air on VH1 tonight starting at 9 pm EST and the series will conclude tomorrow night at the same time.
Scream: Resurrection Episodes 3 and 4
The Scream: Resurrection saga continues but the results feel more lackluster in tonight's episodes.

At least 15 political prisoners are released from detention by Burma’s President Thein Sein ahead of a landmark meeting with US President Barack Obama.
By Political Parties, Political Prisoners 17 May 2013
RANGOON—Twenty-three prisoners, including at least 15 political prisoners, were released from detention on Friday by Burma’s President Thein Sein ahead of a landmark meeting with US President Barack Obama in Washington next week.
At least 10 political prisoners were released from Burma’s notorious Insein Prison near Rangoon, where many opponents of the former military regime were sent, according to Ye Aung, a member of the Former Political Prisoners Group who is working with the government to review the detention of political prisoners.
He said five other released prisoners were members of the All Burma Students’ Democratic Front (ABSDF), one of the key opposition groups that formed from the 1988 uprising.
It was not immediately clear on Friday how many of the other released prisoners were political prisoners. Activists from the 88 Generation Students Group said in a statement later in the day that 21 of the 23 pardoned detainees were political prisoners.
Burma’s nominally civilian government has freed thousands of prisoners, including several hundred political prisoners, as part of sweeping reforms in the transition from military rule. Most of the mass amnesties, including the release of at least 59 political prisoners in April, have coincided with decisions in the West to suspend or lift economic sanctions.
“The government’s intention is to ease international pressure,” said Bo Kyi, a former political prisoner and prominent Burmese activist who has criticized the government for treating prisoners as diplomatic bargaining chips.
On Monday, Thein Sein and Obama are expected to discuss how the United States can assist Burma’s efforts to “develop democracy, address communal and ethnic tensions, and bring economic opportunity to the people,” according to a statement released by the White House earlier this week.
Thein Sein formed a committee in February to review the detention of political prisoners and work toward their release, but activists worry the government is using outdated information to make amnesty decisions.
Bo Kyi, a joint secretary of the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), is working with that 19-member committee, which includes government officials as well as representatives from political parties and civil society groups. But he says the government’s list of remaining political prisoners is inaccurate.
“On May 11 [last Saturday], the government said they had received a list of 1,571 political prisoners, which they said was compiled by AAPP, the US government, KNU [the Karen National Union] or other organizations,” Bo Kyi told The Irrawaddy on Wednesday. “Actually, we did not send that list. I do not know how they got it. That list is out of date.”
Before Friday’s amnesty, he said there were 183 political prisoners behind bars. “Maybe another 100 or more are also facing trial,” he said, adding that these figures were supported by the AAPP, the 88 Generation Students Group, the Former Political Prisoners Group and the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy.
Bo Kyi said he worried that the government’s larger list included detainees who are not political prisoners. As a result, he said, the president could give amnesty to criminals on the list while political prisoners remained behind bars.
“For the previous April 23 release, we found out that some of the released prisoners were drug dealers,” he said. “We did not regard them as political prisoners, we did not send that list to the government, and therefore we want to know which organization listed drug dealers as political prisoners.
“We dislike the way the government released the political prisoners on April 23,” he added. “They did not announce anything when they released them. Also, all [the released detainees] had to sign under 401, which means conditional release.”
According to Section 401 of Burma’s penal code, former political prisoners can see their pardons overturned. Under the law, if they are convicted of a new crime, they must serve not only the new prison sentence, but also the remaining years of the old prison sentence.
Last week, a dissident’s pardon was overturned for the first time since Thein Sein’s administration came to power two years ago.
“We want President Obama to suggest that Burma’s president release Nay Myo Zin immediately and to announce those who are released previously under Section 401 are unconditionally released,” said Bo Kyi, referring to the dissident.
“Other people are worried about it, because they don’t know if they will be sent back to prison,” he said. “We need the president to make another order, that those who were freed under [Section] 401 will now be released unconditionally.”
The government has previously denied the existence of political prisoners, saying all prison inmates were criminals who broke the nation’s laws.
Now, Bo Kyi and the 19-member Committee to Review Political Prisoners is developing a definition of the term “political prisoner” to determine which detainees should qualify for future presidential pardons.
“Generally, we agree that those who are detained related with political organization or political in nature are political prisoners,” Bo Kyi said, adding that the government had not formally adopted the committee’s definition, but that the committee’s chairman, Union Minister Soe Thane, agreed. “If the chairman agrees, everyone [on the government side] will agree,” Bo Kyi said.
Another committee member, Zarganar, a Burmese comedian and former political prisoner, confirmed the group had formed a definition. “We like to use the definition of a prisoner who was arrested with a political cause,” he told The Irrawaddy on Thursday.
The committee does not have the authority to release prisoners but will submit its recommendations to Thein Sein.
“The committee is deciding who are political prisoners, making a list of them and submitting [it] to the president,” committee member Hla Maung Shwe, a well-known businessman with close ties to the ruling party, said in a statement on his Facebook page after the committee’s third meeting last Saturday.
“We’ve discussed the issue more openly than in previous meetings,” he added. “I feel we built more trust among our members. The Chairman U Soe Thane said the committee members can ask the secretary to have access to the prisoners list, if they need access to the lists from prisons or collaboration with other departments.”
In the past, Bo Kyi said, the government did not allow civil society representatives on the committee to see its list.
“If we get this information, we can work on it [verifying the list],” he said. “Otherwise, how can we work?”
An imbalance of power on the committee is a concern, he added.
“We do not have equal status in the committee,” he said of the group’s civil society representatives. “We cannot call for a meeting—if they call a meeting we have to join. The meeting is just two hours, a little more than two hours. But a two-hour meeting doesn’t work for anything … We’ve made progress, but it’s a little difficult, it will take time.”
Nyan Win, a committee member from the opposition National League for Democracy, declined to comment on the internal balance of power in the committee, but said nobody on the committee had any power to release political prisoners. “We can only give the list of recommendations to the president,” he said.
According to state-run media, the committee includes two ministers from the President’s Office, the deputy minister of home affairs, the deputy attorney general, and representatives from the Bureau of Special Investigations, the Myanmar Correctional Department, the Myanmar Red Cross Society, the nonprofit Myanmar Egress, three activism groups for former political prisoners, the 88 Generation Students Group, and members of five political parties.
“We will try our best to work closely with the government, but we have no power to make the decision,” Bo Kyi said. “I really want other people to know we have no power. They release what the government wants.”

Microsoft just #NailedIT with their new Surface lineup
Posted by on | Comments Off on Microsoft just #NailedIT with their new Surface lineup
Back in December I was writing a post about how 2015. if done properly, could be the year of the return of Microsoft. With yesterday’s Microsoft hardware event and the success of Windows 10 being installed in more than 110 million computers in less than 3 months of being released, we can confirm it certainly is.
The Redmond giant was able to turn around a negative number of the Surface family with the just wrong Windows RT approach, into good profit by changing the strategy a few generations back. The new Surface lineup with Windows 10 as the driving operating system for all their end user devices, this can only get better.
What have Microsoft announced yesterday (October 6th 2015)?
Microsoft HoloLens: It’s a way to immerse yourself into virtual/real world through holograms instead of interacting with a screen as we all have been doing till now. It’s a real amazing product with a lot of potential once developers start creating content and uses for it. Microsoft presented it with a live demo of mixed reality gaming which left everybody in the public and online with their mouths wide open. Developers will be able to purchase the dev kit for USD 3000 on the beginning of 2016. With this, Microsoft shows what is capable of in terms of R&D of new technologies.
You can watch the cool demo here.
Microsoft Band (2): It’s a really nice looking new model of the wearable launched last year, with a lot of sensors, including heart rate, calories consumption and barometer among others. It look way better than last years edition, and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass to avoid scratches. Unfortunately they didn’t say anything about battery life and swimming with it, something that would make it the ultimate wearable, lets see if we see anything about this on future reviews. It will cost just USD 249 so it has a competitive price, and will be available on October 3oth 2015.
You can watch the Microsoft Band presentation here.
Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL mobile phones: While you thought the Microsoft mobile line up was dead, they proved wrong by showing two powerful flagship units that can be plugged to an additional USB-C hub where you can also plug a screen, keyboard and mouse and transition from using your phone screen to using your phone as a light PC, they call it “The Phone that works like your PC”. All your Apps will adapt to your screen and you will almost feel like in a classic PC Windows session. They will be shipping in November, the Lumia 950 for USD 549 and the Lumia 950XL for USD 649. They also announced a more entry phone the Lumia 550 at a very attractive price, just USD 139 which will be available in December, right for the holidays.
You can see the live event demo and specs on this video.
Microsoft Surface Pro 4: The long awaited new edition of the very successful Surface Pro 3, “The tablet that can replace your laptop”, now comes better than ever, with the new Skylake Intel processor line which is 30% faster and runs cooler than its predecessor.
It offers the same great flexibility of being used as a tablet or a laptop whenever you need either of them. Its an hybrid product line which other companies seem to start trying to catch up with, for example Apple with the iPad Pro, Dell is rumored to release a product in this same line among others, but Microsoft was able to keep up the leadership with the Surface line. The new Surface Pro 4 is 8,4 mm thick which makes it thinner and lighter than the Pro 3, the screen is a little bit larger 12,3 inches and with improved quality without making the device physically bigger so that Surface Pro 3 accessories are still compatible. The screen also comes with Gorilla Glass 4 for added protection, something really appreciated.
Microsoft has a lot of experience with keyboards, and they really improved it on the Pro 4, also adding fingerprint reader and a bigger glass touchpad. It comes up to with 16GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, 8 Megapixel camera and front facing speakers. Of course it comes with the Microsoft Pen which can now be attached magnetically to the side of the device (50% of the people using a Surface Pro 3 use the Pen). In terms of overall power, Microsoft says it can run 50% faster than a MacBook Air so it makes it a great product.
This device, represents one of the best options for advanced users to use it as a unique device offering the best of two worlds, running Windows 10 with all the applications you are used to work and without having to “purchase”additional versions for your tablet or your PC because it’s the same operating system (a problem I currently have with the iPad and MacBook Pro at home). It starts at USD 899 with a basic model up to USD 2699 the most powerful one (i7, 16 GB and 1 TB). Also, a new Microsoft Surface Dock with a reduced footprint than its predecessor has been also announced at USD 199.
You can see the complete Surface Pro 4 presentation on this link.
Microsoft Surface Book: When you think things cannot get better than the Surface Pro 4, they have proved us wrong, by announcing this device which is basically Microsoft’s first laptop, and it’s very powerful. Microsoft has so much confidence on it, that they said it’s the most powerful 13″ laptop on earth. It wouldn’t be called Surface if it didn’t offer at least the same functionalities as the Pro 4, so yes, you can also detach the screen from the keyboard to also use it as a tablet. It comes with a 13.5″ inches high resolution screen, an amazing keyboard which Microsoft described as offering a “perfect experience”, glass made trackpad with 5 points of touch, Nvidia GeForce GPU and 12 hour battery life.
They made a very strong statement, they say you can get double performance of the equivalent Apple MacBook Pro.
The system Microsoft has invented to separate the screen from the keyboard and GPU base, it’s fantastic and very straightforward to use.
It will start at USD 1499 available for pre-order now (The 1 TB version of this babies sold out immediately after the event), and available on October 26th. You can see the Microsoft Surface Book presentation here.
If you want to see the full almost 2 hours live event, Microsoft made it available on demand on this link.
Event Conclusions
Microsoft is listening to their customers, (not every company does that), they learnt it the hard way, and makes sense, as they are the ones purchasing their products. By improving simple and complex things on their products they are able to deliver great and better products. They are showing they are capable of innovating together with the end users and not trying to push their own way of thinking like other companies do, I think for this we have to thank Satya Nadella (who by the way did the closing of the event) and Panos Panay (I felt as pumped as him when he was telling us about the products, it seems I share the same technology passion as him).
From my point of view the two most important and attractive announcements where the two new Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book, they are both really great for their segment. It wasn’t a coincidence that the audience of the event gave Panos Panay a standing ovation when he finished explaining the capabilities of the Surface Book. They were witnessing that this, is the next chapter in PC mobile computing, and its leaded by Microsoft.
I am looking forward to read reviews about these machines when they are out, and I am seriously thinking on switching back to Microsoft Windows 10, after having the not so fun experience of MacBook Pro for the last couple of years. I will be on holidays until October 20th in New York, but unfortunately I won’t be able to get one of the Surface Book’s as they are being released some days later 🙁
At the office, I will also promote the idea of Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book and will try to get one for internal testing. I seriously believe this is the future, the device that will give you all experiences without having to pay twice the money for it. Having power, mobility and touch all in one device is something multiple companies have been trying to do for a while, but Microsoft #NailedIT.

J Ward
Souvenirs & books
Venue hire & events
Aradale
Asylum for the Criminally Insane
The best way to see and understand J Ward is to join one of the regularly conducted guided tours. Bookings can be made below, but are not required.
Adults $17, concession $15, under 16 $5, under 5 free. Concession applies to Aged Pensioners, Seniors Card holders and pre-booked groups of ten or more.
A normal tour will take 1-1.5 hours. Most of our guides will spend much longer than this with anybody who wants to hear more stories or who has questions to ask. It should be noted that the guides do not have access to records or have knowledge of former patients or medical procedures.
There is so much to see that no two tours are exactly the same. Each of the guides is knowledgable in the history of J Ward but each has a wealth of favourite true stories to tell.
You will see the place where murderers breathed their last. You will see where their bodies are buried in unconsecrated ground, supposedly in unmarked graves. You might hear the story of the notorious Garry Webb or of Bill Wallace who lived here for over sixty years and died in his 108th year. You might hear how the Chapel was built due to the efforts of William Watson Carr. You might hear of escapes or suicides or of twelve year olds incarcerated here.
You might hear none of these. There are so many stories in J Ward that people have been back four and even five times. Hours can be spent in the Museum reading early case histories and gazing in wonder at the equipment of the early days of the hospital and the arts and crafts of the patients.
10am, 11am, 1pm and 2pm
Due to limited availability of the volunteer staff admission may not be possible after the tour has started.
Sundays, Victorian public and school holidays
10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm (except Christmas Day)
Admission is not limited to these times and there is plenty to do and see while waiting for a tour to start. Light refreshments are available.
Combined J Ward/Aradale Asylums tour
A special deal is offered each Wednesday and Sunday where a ticket can be purchased for $30.00 p.p. which entails the bearer to a J Ward and Aradale Tour on the same day. It is recommended on a Wednesday that the ticket holder take the 10am J Ward Tour and then do the 2pm Aradale Tour. See below for details.
Bookings for groups of ten or more can be accommodated at practically any time. Bus tours, schools and clubs etc are all most welcome at J Ward. Although macabre in places the history of J Ward is generally not disturbing because of its simple truth. Many schools come here with each year's new class.
J Ward is an historic building and as such might appear to be unwelcoming to mobility impaired visitors. We have had many wheelchair conveyed groups successfully tour J Ward. If booking for a group with movement difficulties please inform us at the time of booking.
Entry can be arranged for wheel chairs at any time. A tour normally involves limited stair climbing but it can easily be avoided.

The Buell’s toured Fountain Hills, a 223-acre inclusive community tucked within the rolling terrain of Kansas City’s Northland, in early 2012 and instantly fell in love.
“We made a decision right away,” Frank Buell said. “We loved the Waterview lot, and had New Mark Homes build our dream home there. We got everything we hoped for.”
The homes are selling fast due to different styles the location offers. Very few places offer the variety Fountain Hills does, from move-in ready to being able to custom-build a home from scratch.
“We are one of the few communities that have homes available immediately,” said Kim Jorges of MD Realty.
Jorges also will help guide those like the Buells who want to build from scratch through the building process. In fact, Jorges has been commended by residents for making the home-buying process as fun, exciting and stress-free as possible.
A number of premium home sites remain for a custom-built home including those that offer lush, treed locations and peaceful water views. Jorges will help buyers decide what is best for them and will go above and beyond to meet each buyer’s needs, ensuring that residents find the home of their dreams as quickly and easily as possible.
Jorges said the property and homes speak for themselves.
“The tradition of quality continues at Fountain Hills, giving prospective homeowners the opportunities to work with any of our renowned homebuilders,” Jorges said. “Our community’s well-established builders — New Mark Homes by Don Julian, Vasut Construction and Joseph Lane Homes — are all known for their quality homes and customer service. These builders include a variety of outstanding features and unique characteristics in each floor plan.”
“Fountain Hills has enjoyed extraordinarily rapid success,” Jorges said. “It has been called one of the Northland’s most exciting neighborhoods.”
Prospective buyers enjoy the luxury of choice in homes. The community offers something for all preferences, including ranch, two-story, 11/2-story, reverse 11/2-story, split-entry and California split homes, and a variety of home sites including walkout and daylight locations. This wide array of floor plans ensures that each prospective homeowner has no problem finding a home.
Fountain Hill’s newest phase has been a big success thanks to its appealing combination of value, location and beautiful homes. The community has the rolling terrain of Kansas City’s Northland, with picturesque surroundings providing an ideal backdrop for what the marketing team describes as the community’s beautiful homes and array of amenities.
Jorges said the property and homes simply speak for themselves as buyers are instantly drawn to the quiet, clean and family-friendly neighborhood with lush landscaping. Amenities such as a swimming pool, cabana, walking trails and an upcoming playground soon to be completed win over even the pickiest buyers.
Fountain Hill’s builders agree that the Northland community represents unprecedented value without compromising key features like location, amenities and beautifully built homes.
“I have been a builder in the metro area for more than 30 years, and these are some of the most affordable treed and walkout lots I’ve seen in years,” said Don Julian. “It’s great to work with a developer who is financially strong and gives both the builders and buyers financial security that the subdivision is well-funded and the amenities are already installed and in use by the residents.”
Located just north of Missouri 152 on Platte Purchase Road, Fountain Hills offers homeowners a convenient Northland location that’s minutes away from a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment.
Fountain Hills is served by the award-winning Platte County R-3 School District. The community is exclusively marketed by MD Realty. For information, call Jorges at 913-927-5815 and for up-to-date community information go to

The Buell’s are constantly thanking their lucky stars they checked out the community and would refer the property and Jorges’ expertise.
“We made a lifetime friend in Kim Jorges,” Frank and Lexi Buell said. “We highly recommend Fountain Hills and MD Realty.”

Casey and Coons support Iran nuclear deal
by Jonathan Tamari, Inquirer Washington Bureau, Posted: September 1, 2015
WASHINGTON - Sens. Robert P. Casey of Pennsylvania and Chris Coons of Delaware, both Democrats, announced their support for the international nuclear agreement with Iran on Tuesday, putting President Obama on the brink of a major victory.
The two became the 32d and 33d senators to support the agreement, one shy of the number needed to sustain a potential Obama veto of any congressional resolution to kill the deal.
Both senators, representing states with large Jewish populations and facing intense pressure from both sides of the debate, were seen as key swing votes as Congress prepares to weigh in this month.
"This agreement will substantially constrain the Iranian nuclear program for its duration, and, compared with all realistic alternatives, it is the best option available to us at this time," Casey wrote in a 17-page, more than 8,000-word, analysis. He called it "one of the most difficult decisions of my public career."
In an interview in his Washington office, he added, "I believe that this is better for our security and better for Israel's security, without a doubt, short-term and long-term."
Coons, in a speech at the University of Delaware, expressed deep skepticism of the deal's flaws - "Frankly, this is not the agreement I had hoped for," he said - but added that he saw no credible alternative, and real damage from nixing the agreement.
He said the deal would limit Iran's nuclear program for the next 15 years "with the full support of the international community," while walking away would lead to "uncertainty and likely isolation."
"I support this deal with my eyes wide open, aware of the deal's flaws as well as its potential," said Coons, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee.
He rejected the idea of pushing for a tougher agreement, saying it would divide America from its international partners in the talks - the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, and Russia - and undermine U.S. authority if it came time to use military force.
The White House needs 34 Senate votes to sustain a potential veto blocking a vote to reject the agreement, and Obama can avoid the spectacle of a veto if he can persuade 41 out of the Senate's 46 Democrats to support him.
New Jersey's Cory Booker - who has strong ties to the Jewish community and Obama - is now the only undecided senator in the Philadelphia region.
Casey, long a hawk on the Middle East and a former member of the Foreign Relations Committee, was seen as a Democrat who might break with the president. But so far only two Senate Democrats - New Jersey's Robert Menendez and New York's Chuck Schumer - have said they will oppose the plan. Sen. Tom Carper (D., Del.) announced his support last week, while the region's only Republican senator, Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey, opposes the agreement.
Backers argue that the deal will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon for more than a decade without war, and have pushed Democrats to support one of Obama's most significant foreign policy initiatives. Opponents, including many Jewish groups, warn that the accord will bring Iran closer to obtaining a nuclear weapon and endanger Israel.
The two sides bought nearly $1.3 million of advertising time from Philadelphia broadcast networks in July, August and the early days of September as they targeted a media market that reaches into three states with undecided senators.
Obama hit Philadelphia's airwaves as well, giving an interview to 6ABC last week as he tried to seal support with appearances on several stations around the country.
Casey and Coons each described long, agonizing deliberations.
In a heavily footnoted paper that aides say he largely wrote himself, Casey wrote that he is "skeptical" that Iran will uphold its end of the agreement, and that "one of the most troubling questions" is the idea that billions in sanctions relief for Iran will finance terrorism.
Coons noted that the deal will freeze but not dismantle Iran's nuclear program, and worried that Tehran will continue fueling anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment.
Both lawmakers urged Obama and future administrations to hold out the use of force as an option if Iran moves to acquire nuclear weapons, and urged the president to strengthen Israel's defenses.
"The Iranian regime should not doubt our capability and willingness to respond swiftly," Casey wrote.
While critics warn that the deal could put Iran in position to obtain a nuclear weapon, both senators noted that Tehran already needs just two to three months to enrich enough uranium for a bomb.
"Your decision on the agreement has to be reactive, or responsive to that reality," Casey said.
The deal would push Iran's time to obtain a nuclear bomb to a year, according to the administration.
It is broadly unpopular, though.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Aug. 24 showed that Pennsylvania voters oppose the agreement 61 percent to 26 percent. Nationally, voters are against it, 55 percent to 25 percent, according to a Quinnipiac survey released Monday.
"The American people are growing more and more opposed to the deal" as they learn more about it, said Mark Wallace, chief executive of one of the leading group's criticizing the deal, United Against Nuclear Iran.
He said the president was twisting Democrats' arms for support and held out hope that votes may change as more information comes out.
The opposition, though, has fallen flat. Casey and Coons added to Obama's support.
"At some point, it has to be a vote, I think, of conscience," Casey said, "and I have many very good friends who will disagree with the decision, I'm certain of that."
Vote-Counting In the Senate
With the support of Sens. Bob Casey and Chris Coons on Tuesday, President Obama is just one vote short of the 34 needed to sustain any veto of a resolution against the nuclear deal with Iran; eight votes would give him the 41 needed to block the resolution from passage.
Among the 46 members of the Democratic caucus, two - New York's Charles E. Schumer and New Jersey's Robert Menendez - are opposed.
Eleven Democrats remain undeclared: Michael Bennet (Colo.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Cory Booker (N.J.), Maria Cantwell (Wash.), Ben Cardin (Md.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Barbara Mikulski (Md.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Mark Warner (Va.), and Ron Wyden (Ore.). - APEndText

Impact Interview With Alumni, April McLennan
This Blogpost is based on an interview produced by the Ministry for Youth Development on 27 May 2018. April is an alumni of both our Live the Dream and Festival for the Future programmes. Link to original post here.
20-year April McLennan grew up in Ōtautahi, Christchurch with her mum, dad and three sisters. She credits being home-schooled for her entire primary and secondary education with providing her the independence required to approach learning in a unique way.
“I love the freedom this gave me and my sisters to explore subjects we were interested in and to meet people from many different backgrounds and life experiences,” she says.
April is the Founder and Chairperson of Limitless, a registered charity that has a mission to equip young New Zealanders with the awareness, confidence and opportunities to pursue and excel in work they are passionate about.
Limitless runs conferences for high school students where they can be inspired and empowered through interaction with speakers and each other. Post-conference, young people have access to an online portal which connects them with opportunities for mentoring, work experience, volunteering and more.
“I started Limitless at the beginning of 2016 and the inspiration came from my own career pathway experience. Having finished high school in 2015, I had some decisions to make around what my next steps were. Faced with this, I was quite unsure about which direction I wanted to take for my career/study path. There were so many options and I felt a bit overwhelmed,” she says.
“It was super clear that many other people at this same life stage felt the same way. I had met so many people further down the track that were doing work they found really stimulating and rewarding, so some questions arose about how myself and those around me could create pathways towards work that was like this – purposeful, energising and fulfilling.”
In summer 2015/16, April took part in Live the Dream, an incubator programme that supports New Zealand’s young social entrepreneurs to build capability and bring their ventures to life. She relished the experience.
“Live the Dream was challenging, stretching and empowering. We learned how to use research to find the root cause of the issue we wanted to tackle through social enterprise, create business plans, prototype and ideate, pitch, market, plan and manage finances, and so much more. We also had opportunities to start growing networks of people who would become integral in our venture’s growth. During the Live the Dream accelerator, I made the decision to take a ‘gap year’ to work on Limitless, see how it went, and review it the following year – and the rest is history (that was over two years ago!).”
We asked April what has been the greatest challenge so far:
“My greatest challenges have been in my own personal growth, learning, boundary setting, reflection and more – learning how to care for myself and set boundaries for the best outcomes. Being part of a supportive family and community, having an incredible governance team for Limitless, and having mentors that I trust have been big enablers for this.”
April is highly motivated by her desire to enable every young person to have an impact on local and global challenges through purpose-driven work.
“If we can equip young people to live from a strong foundation of knowledge of their strengths and integrity to their values, then it opens up pathways for these young people to be curious, explore, learn, define what success may look like, and move towards it.”
She has this advice for other young people thinking of giving social enterprise a go:
“Keep your ‘why’ at the centre. It’s important to know who you are and keep the basis of your identity strong and not dependent on the success of everything you do, to work from a healthier and more balanced place. I wholeheartedly believe young people are capable of so much – and each young person needs a champion who will be their backer, who will believe in them no matter what.”
It seems that April is very sure of her ‘why’: young people throughout Aotearoa New Zealand are lucky to have her on their side.

IBM to buy Red Hat for $34B in cash and debt, taking a bigger leap into hybrid cloud
By integrations-2017 2nd November 2018 30th November 2018 Categories: UNIX/Linux News
“After rumors flew around this weekend, IBM today confirmed that it would acquire open source, cloud software business Red Hat for $190 per share in cash, working out to a total value of $34 billion. IBM said the deal has already been approved by the boards of directors of both IBM and Red Hat but is still subject to Red Hat shareholder and regulatory approvals. If all goes as planned, the acquisition is expected to close in the latter half of 2019.
The deal is all about IBM, which has long continued to rely on its legacy server business, taking a bigger bet on the cloud, and very specifically cloud services that blend on-premises and cloud-based architectures — something that the two companies have already been working on together since May of this year (which now might be looked at as a test drive). Red Hat will be a distinct unit within IBM’s Hybrid Cloud team — which is already a $19 billion business for IBM, the company said — and it will continue to focus on open-source software.”

Storytelling Creates Leaders
All over the world human beings seek a wise person to tell them a story, to give them something to believe in and make them feel that they belong to something. At their core, our world history, our family history and all major world religions are simply a series of stories, emitted by a leader, and then retold.
Betty Ann Heggie Blogger, Columnist, Activist
Great leaders are storytellers. Consider the biblical character Solomon, who was regarded as the world's most enlightened man solely due to his plentiful arsenal of stories. President Lincoln cemented his position as one of the most admired leaders of all time by eradicating slavery. He aligned people not by his analysis, but by his stories.
Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg inspired a whole movement of women to 'lean in' and aim for greater career heights by sharing her stories. Malala Yousafzai, who was gunned down by the Taliban for her determination to be educated, ensured the world's commitment to her cause, by telling her story. Storytelling is the language of leadership.
Leaders of aboriginal tribes pass information from one generation to another through stories. They are the basis of their educational system, moulding values and creating community.
Additionally, most generals will attest that it isn't the side with the strongest army that declares victory but rather the one with the most compelling story.
My Love of Stories
From the time I was little I loved reading stories and would hide under the covers with a flashlight to finish a chapter (and maybe another) long after my mother had decreed that "all lights had to be out." Then, as now, I found that stories made me feel less alone and connected me to others as I empathized with their plight.
Stories opened new avenues for me, unlatching and swinging wide the gates fencing my belief system. I still remember the pain I felt for Heidi going to live with her crusty old grandfather, a recluse in the Swiss mountains, or the concern for the ugly duckling when all those swans were being so mean. They made me cry and these stories feel as real to me today as they did then.
It should not be a surprise that I built on this passion to create a successful career telling stories for a corporation. I loved sharing stories with investors of how we developed markets and overcame adversity to achieve success. Today, I tell personal stories of my working life to aide aspiring career women, hoping to minimize their time in the 'school of hard knocks'.
I share stories to transform others, but also myself. Stories have always put seemingly random events into context, imbuing them with meaning. As Arianna Huffington wrote in her book Thrive stories offer a direct road map to our inner lives. "Humans are hardwired for narrative; we may be the only creatures that see our lives as part of a larger narrative."
Stories Advance Your Career
Taking the inner journey through stories also helps in the external world. First, your story will help you get to know yourself better, allowing you to more confidently present your authentic self to the world. People are attracted to that. Secondly, by recounting a story of one of your accomplishments, it will build your confidence, encouraging you to climb an even bigger hill.
There is no better way for others to become aware of your strengths and improve their views of your leadership ability than by hearing your story. Women, especially need to be more bold in telling theirs. Achievement isn't possible without the assistance of others and listening to their stories is a most pleasurable way to draw them into your network.
The best way for mentors to pass along information to their protégé is through stories. Typically, people resist advice but stories offer entertainment. They are the modern fable, full of teachable moments. The effective use of stories also helps leaders bring together a diverse group of people to find common ground. Such is the basis of forming a team.
To get ahead in your career you'll need to take risks, which is bound to result in some disappointments. You'll then need to 'reposition' your story, especially it's ending. In the movie Saving Mr. Banks Walt Disney admitted to Mary Poppins' author P. L. Travers, that writing a new ending is what saved him from ruminating on his unhappy childhood and one can't argue with his success!
Telling Your Story
Stories are one of the most powerful communication tools and fortunately this skill can be developed and practiced. It starts by speaking to the heart, not to the head. Feelings are experiential, which is lasting. For this reason, people remember stories 22 times better than facts. TED Talk sensation Brene Brown says, "stories are just data with a soul."
A good story also provides some levity and comic relief as humour unites people. Once moved by a story people will want to retell it to a friend so make it simple enough for them to do that by skipping unnecessary detail. Screenwriter Elmore Leonard gave some sage advice on this topic, "A story is real life with the boring parts left out."
We all have a story and as poet Maya Angelou said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you". The first step is to discover the chain of events that comprises yours. In ancient mythology the events always follow a pattern: an ordinary boy or girl ventures on a quest, faces and overcomes many obstacles, is transformed and comes home to share the story.
Like mythology, your best stories will be ones where you face a challenge and it changes you. Audiences love hearing about a conflict resolved but that means that the teller must openly share their feelings and vulnerability. Many are uncomfortable exposing that to strangers but without doing so the story comes across as bragging.
I learned this by observing an effective CEO storyteller. He used facts only to back up his narrative and give it credibility. When he told a story he succinctly described his circumstances, how he felt, how he handled things and what he learned about himself in the process. People not only slowed down to listen, they were captivated. His use of stories afforded him great influence.
Your Story Creates Your Reality
No single story will define you, so assemble a collection of options for multiple audiences and situations. Telling them will not only change how people view you, it will change how you view yourself. Initially, you may not think of yourself as a leader but once you've started telling your stories, it will be easier to believe and realize. Your story creates your reality so make it good!
By telling your story, you'll leave a legacy of people better able to handle their problems by hearing how you solved yours. Sharing your story is a service- let it guide you to your natural role as a leader on both your inner and outer journey.

CO2 Is Greener than Using Water in Fracking
By: Nidhi Goyal | July 6th, 2019
Image courtesy Wikimedia commons
Hydraulic fracturing fluid is essential for creating fractures to tap unconventional oil and gas resources.
The fracturing fluid is comprised of approximately 90% water mixed with chemicals to effectively create thin, long fractures distributed over a larger area.
But the method is controversial due to contamination of vast amounts of freshwater
Recently, a team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China University of Petroleum in Beijing evaluated the carbon dioxide to substitute for water as a dry fracking agent.
Experts found carbon dioxide better at breaking up the shale compared with the use of a water-chemical mix
They noted that oil production was increased by around four- to 20-fold with the CO2 fracturing process. Dry fracking could be an environmentally sustainable alternative which could resolve water contamination issues.
But injecting CO2 to extract hydrocarbons could lead to more carbon emissions
Hannah Chalmers, a senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh said “CO2 fracking might ultimately have environmental benefits compared to fracking with water, but this study does not include the analysis that is needed to establish whether CO2 fracking is likely to lead to an overall reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions,”

INFLCR, University of South Florida launch partnership
USF Bulls
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Influencer (INFLCR) founder and CEO Jim Cavale announced the signing of the University of South Florida as the company’s first client from the American Athletic Conference.
“Here at the University of South Florida, we don’t have a 100-year history to cling to,” said Dr. Andrew T. Goodrich, USF’s Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs.
“Rather, we embrace the role of a challenger brand, which is why we feel our partnership with INFLCR is so appropriate. In a biased world that clings to fallacies about who is deserving of respect based on history and tradition, we intend to show the world the truth about performance in the 21st century, and we will accomplish this, in large part, with INFLCR’s ability to amplify the personal triumphs of our student-athletes ands brand them as champions on and off the field.”
INFLCR is a software-as-a-service that is helping programs like USF, their student-athletes, alumni, coaches, and other brand ambassadors through the provision of digital content produced by the university, which these brand ambassadors can access and share from their INFLCR mobile app to their personal social-media platforms (such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat).
INFLCR then helps USF track the “audience lift” it receives via the much-larger collective audience of these brand ambassadors, while continuing to help them grow their personal brands [in the context of their university’s brand].
USF athletes are receiving and sharing hundreds of photos and videos produced by USF and delivered in personalized galleries directly to their smartphones. In only the first week of activation, they downloaded 220 items, reaching an audience of more than 76,000 on Instagram and more than 32,000 on Twitter.

no smoke..
A post shared by B² (@blakebarnett11) on Sep 8, 2018 at 6:19pm PDT
After a victory over Georgia Tech, USF quarterback Blake Barnett accessed a photo produced by the university and shared it to Instagram via the INFLCR mobile app, generating thousands of likes and more than 100 comments.
Cavale said the company is excited to begin work with one of the up-and-coming brands in college sports.
“I’ve gotten to know the staff on the media relations and communications side at South Florida since they played in the Birmingham Bowl late last year.” said Cavale, himself a former collegiate athlete.
“It was neat to hear their heart for storytelling through content and digital distribution more than the traditional manners. They really get it.
For us, early on, we can’t afford to work with just any school. We’re not looking to just sign up schools that have the budget to pay us. We’re looking for schools who are thinking in line with us — who are producing great storytelling content and want to use our system to help brand their athletes to help grow the brand of their school. South Florida is that school.”
Founded in 2017, the company now has clients from the American, Big 12, ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Mountain West, Conference USA and Sun Belt conferences.
Influencer (INFLCR) is a social media CRM that allows teams and leagues to efficiently distribute their digital assets across the social channels of their most effective brand ambassadors (student-athletes, coaches, recruits prominent alumni and fans) while being able to track and measure the reach and performance of the content at scale via a convenient dashboard. With INFLCR, teams can store, share and track their digital assets (game photos, videos, etc.) as they flow through the social media channels of their brand ambassadors. Learn more at inflcr.com

Hello, People of Earth.
Welcome! I'm Joel Hodgson.
Once upon a time, a television series called MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 was born. We debuted on Minneapolis' KTMA, local television, on Thanksgiving Day 1988, as the world was in the final throes of Teddy Ruxpin-mania. That was almost thirty years ago, but for some reason, people still seem to like the show – it’s a mitzvah!
Our show has had a long, strange run. Across a UHF channel, a cable network, cancellation, a feature film, then another cable network, the show lasted for 12 years, two generations of hosts and puppeteers, 2 Emmy nominations and a total of 197 episodes before we got canceled again for good in 1999. Sadly, it was just as Prince predicted.
But maybe that's not where it all ends.
Starting today, we finally get a chance to bring back MST3K.
With your help, we can create a new season of MST3K, prove there's still an audience, and maybe even convince a network to bring us back for more.
The simplest answer is that there are a lot of cheesy movies left to riff, and a lot of people who would still enjoy watching them with us.
Plus, I think there's a place for us. Nowadays, riffing is everywhere! Many people claim that MST3K created a shift in the way people watch TV shows, and that now, as a result, the fields of entertainment have been plowed and readied for a riffing renaissance.
I mean, look at the influence it’s had... Everyone riffs on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Hell, there are ten to twelve people who are still, unironically, riffing on MySpace and Friendster.
In a world where riffing has become as common as our national pastime, baseball, it makes sense: like baseball, everyone knows how to play, but sometimes it feels good to just sit back and watch the original movie riffing team take a whack at it. And if we came back, imagine all the riffs we could make about things like Uber or Cards Against Humanity!
Also, there’s a pile of scriptural evidence in whichever sacred text that you hold dear to prove that we need more seasons of MST3K… so when you share on social media, you know you’re not going to offend anybody.
You know, I just read that last sentence... and actually, I’m pretty sure you’re going to offend everybody. But at least you can rest assured that you’ll offend everyone equally.
We do, and here's why: I think it's because MST3K is more than just movie riffing. It's a stranger and denser recipe than just saying smart aleck things to a forgotten movie, but I think this is the secret ingredient: we believed that it's easiest to survive the cheesy movie that we're living in with friends who keep us from taking it all too seriously.
Now, I don’t want to get too maudlin about it, because being too serious is the enemy of comedy. We weren't trying to send a message: job #1 was always to make a funny show. But while we were doing that, I hope we also helped show the kids that society, and the stupid things we say and do to each other, are "just a show, and you should really just relax.”
Yeah, this is what I was afraid of. Now I’m starting to sound like the Dr. Bronner's label. Next question?
The simplest answer is: until now, we couldn't bring MST3K back.
I've been thinking about ways to re-animate MST3K for over a decade... and over the last 15 years, I've met thousands of you who said that you wanted MST3K back too. But two things have finally changed that make this the right time. And I'm not talking about the legalization of marijuana or the proliferation of water jet pack use.
1. Crowdfunding gives fans the power to get what they want.
In less than two years, I've watched fans use crowdfunding to bring back Veronica Mars, Reading Rainbow and Super Troopers – all cult favorites, like us – and it made me wonder how MSTies would respond if we had the chance to return. Now we're going to find out… and then maybe LeVar Burton can finally stop acting like he’s so much better than us.
2. We had to work through some complicated legal issues.
Even though we've always wanted to bring MST3K back, it wasn't that easy. Thanks to the Last Will and Testament of one eccentric old heiress, the rights were tied up for years. It took time to work those issues out, but with the help of my friends at Shout Factory, a special chokehold I perfected in WuDang that I like to call “The Persuader,” and a night I had to spend in a haunted house as a term of the the old lady’s will, we succeeded.
This summer, we finally got all of the rights cleared up… and now, like Orpheus, we can now descend into hell to hang out with a couple of wisecracking robots.
Now we're talking!
Our Kickstarter campaign has two really important goals.
As soon as we reach our minimum goal of $2,000,000, we'll be able to make three new feature length episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. But then, for each additional $1.1 million we raise, we can make three more... up to a full season of 12 episodes!
(If you're wondering why new episodes cost so much – especially the first three – keep going down the page to "HOW WE'LL USE YOUR MONEY," or take a look at the Backer Update where I explained the budget in detail.)
Here's a simple diagram to help you remember our goals:
If we can raise even more than that, I'd love to shoot some (or all) of the new season LIVE in front of an audience – and maybe even stream the show live on the internet! (Oh yeah: I just saw your eyes light up.)
Finally, if we raise $1 BILLION – stay with me on this one – we’re going to adopt a real live teenage boy and “Truman Show” him into believing he is the Pumaman!
Hear us out, because this goal is just as important: we're not just crowdfunding because we need funding.
We're also doing it because we need the crowd!
If we want a lot more MST3K, we need to work together to prove that there's still an audience out there that wants MST3K – and that this isn't all some pitiable delusion – so that we can find a network or online platform who will agree to pick up the show and keep it going… hopefully for another 200+ episodes.
Even if you can only spare $5 or $10, every extra backer helps us send a message to the networks: it's time to #BringBackMST3K.
Okay. It's time for me to put away the grease gun and give you your marching orders.
If any of this rings true to you, we need your help now to spread the word. Back in the day, every episode of MST3K ended with a message that encouraged fans to “Keep Circulating the Tapes.” And you guys did.
Those grassroots efforts helped MST3K find friends and fans at a time when the rest of show business didn’t quite know what to make of us. It was social media in its most primitive form... and because of you, it worked.
Today's, it's time to update that phrase for the internet age. If you're with us, this is your call to action, MSTies.
And while you're at it, you can help out even more by taking a minute to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. (Apparently those matter more than Nielsen ratings, now!)
Listen, I know this Kickstarter idea isn’t for everyone. Neither was Mystery Science Theater 3000. But just like MST3K itself, I know the right people will get it.
Thanks for reading. I hope you'll join us.
Dear People of the Internet,
Welcome to my first-ever Official Crow-Funding Campaign. Tee Hee!
As #1 Golden Shiny Boy Champion, I need a place to shine bright and inspire. I want to be a part of your life again, serving in both a wind-beneath-your-wings and an ASRM capacity. You know you still want me, baby, but allow me to tell you why.
First, I like POP! Figures. I intend to roll most of the money into Funko stock. Plus a few hat parties.
Also, I’d like to open up a long-overdue public dialogue on Cee-Lo Green and his fashion choices.
Then, I plan on turning at least a thousand dollars’ worth of funds into pennies, which I will press into elongated souvenir coins at theme parks and fairs.
Finally, if you are still undecided, I ask you to consider this: after years of waiting, I will finally get to decide who lives and who dies. You don’t want to be on the wrong list, do you?
I look forward to your loyal service in the many years of the New Golden Age to come.
Your Future Supreme Being,
Crow T. Robot
Hello, Ladies.
I'm pleased to be with you again. It's been too long. Now that we're about to be a huge crowdfunding hit, I've got a few things I'd like to discuss with you.
It turns out that the last 15 years have been kind to our legacy: we're famous now. And not internet famous, either. Real famous. I have lots of female fans.
Angelina, Scarlett, and many women named Madison: I've got parts in the new show with your names on them. You can come over and we can run lines in my bungalow, and I’ll make us a curry. Then if things get “consensual,” so be it.
I’ll also pretty much be the “troubleshooter” on this Kickstarter campaign, because I understand how you think and I’m a master of social media. My god: you do realize that I’m the uncredited creator of both memes and avatars?
I’M ALSO THE FIRST SENTIENT BEING TO TYPE A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS.
What are you waiting for? Get out to the Kickstarter polls and start voting.
Tom Servo
Hey everyone. It's Joel again.
Look, I know what you're wondering, so go ahead… just say it.
Believe me, man. I get it. If it cost $2 million just to make three episodes, we'd be spending almost $700K per show! And you're right: by itself, an episode of MST3K doesn't cost nearly that much.
The real explanation is pretty simple.
1. We don't get to keep all of the money we raise on Kickstarter!
CAMPAIGN FEES: Out of the first $2,000,000, we have to pay about 8% – that's $160,000 – in fees to Kickstarter and the credit card processor.
REWARD & SHIPPING COSTS: Then, we have to design, produce, print, sort and ship all of the rewards we're offering in exchange for your pledge. (Those t-shirts aren't free, you know!) That costs about 27%, so that's another $540,000.
(We're not charging you twice for shipping, I promise. Even though Kickstarter asks you to add more for shipping, they count that money toward the total we've raised, even though we still have to spend it on, you know… shipping!)
So, out of the first $2,000,000 we raise, we have to spend $700,000 just on the costs of this Kickstarter campaign!
2. Then, we have to spend a lot on startup costs just to get the show going.
To shoot new episodes, there's a lot we'll need to do: creating concept art and designs, building sets, making models, creating costumes, adding new features to upgrade the robots, and all sorts of other things. All of that work costs money, which is why our first $2,000,000 includes $550,000 for startup costs. The good part is that every penny of that ends up on screen where you can see it.
3. But... the more episodes we make, the less each episode costs!
We have to spend the same amount up front, no matter how many episodes we make. If we only make 3 episodes, these costs increase the budget for each episode by $183K… but if we make a full 12, they only increase it by $46K each!
Anyway, once you take out the CAMPAIGN, REWARD and STARTUP COSTS, there's a lot less than $2,000,000 left. In fact, that leaves just $750K for three episodes, which – I hope – sounds a lot more reasonable than $2,000,000!
At the end of the day, our goal is to make each episode for around $250K.
To put that in perspective, that means we're spending less to create 90 minutes of MST3K than even the low-end reality shows spend to make 22 minutes! (Really makes ya think, don't it?)
Now, if you're as tired of reading as I am of writing, here are some wicked cool graphics that explain all of this:
I know not everyone will want this much explanation, but if I'm asking you to trust me with your money, I think it's important to be crystal clear about how we're using it.
Plus, $750K for each set of three episodes feels a lot better than $2,000,000.
(But man, I'd hate to try to sell a car to you people. Tough crowd!)
Hopefully by now, you're already on board. Maybe you're not even reading this. Maybe you've already made your contribution, selected your rewards, and are now rushing around the internet helping spread the good word to all of your MST3K-deprived friends!
But if you're still on the fence, maybe I can make it easier for you.
Personally, I think the most compelling reason to help out is that you want to see new episodes of MST3K… and not just for you. Think of the friends and family who you can finally introduce to the new MST3K: the one with a fresh new cast, fresh new riffs, and zesty new cheesy movies!
On the other hand, let’s not any of us forget: this is Kickstarter. I know that you know that that’s gonna mean some cool rewards for helping us out. And for a show that’s never really been about cool merch...I think we’ve finally got some!
UPDATE! We've gotten a lot of questions asking exactly what's included with each package, so we've put together another helpful little chart:
You can see all of the rewards on the right side of the page, but here are a few highlights:
Become... Part of MYSTERY SCIENCE HISTORY!
All backers – no matter what you pledge – will be invited to join the new MST3K Information Club. (It's like the old MST3K Info Club, only better. And modern. And more exclusive. And wider in the hips.) Over the next year, we'll invite you to help us rediscover MST3K and get it oiled up and running smoothly. You'll be part of the process!
Read... Our Page-Turning Insider Updates
We don't just want to take your cash and walk away: we want to take your cash and talk away! Most Kickstarter projects promise "exclusive behind-the-scenes updates," but this time, I mean it: I've already started planning things I want to share with you. It'll be like getting email from me, Crow and Servo for at least a year.
Possess... Amazing, Terrifying, Heart-Warming New MST3K Swag
Before the end of the campaign, we'll start sharing the designs we're planning for some of the #BringBackMST3K swag you can get, including the OFFICIAL T-SHIRT ($50+), OFFICIAL MUG ($75+), OFFICIAL KEYCHAIN ($100+), OFFICIAL POSTER ($150), and many more. We've got several amazing artists working on this stuff. I can't wait for you to see it.
Take Control.... of the New Episodes!Bringing back MST3K isn't enough power for you? Great! For real high-rollers, we're offering all sorts of ways to be part of the episodes themselves. You can…
Steal the hearts of millions when you... APPEAR IN AN EPISODE!
Throw your weight around and… BECOME A PRODUCER!
Kickstart your new riffing career and… HELP WRITE AN EPISODE!
Immortalize your favorite inside joke with… A PERSONAL RIFF!
Own and Command... Your OWN Robot Friend!
This one is difficult for me, but I want to make sure this Kickstarter succeeds, so I'm willing to make the sacrifice: a very limited number of you can KEEP THE ACTUAL CROW and/or SERVO FEATURED IN A NEW EPISODE! They'll record a personalized video for you, and then we'll ship them off to your doorstep. When we're done shooting.
1. FOLLOW "@MST3K" ON ALL OF OUR SOCIAL CHANNELS.Be sure to follow our official accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Ask your fellow MSTies to follow them too! Tell them that those numbers have a really big impact when we start asking networks to #BringBackMST3K for more new seasons.
2. CIRCULATE THE MESSAGES AT THE END OF EACH UPDATE. At the end of each Backer Update, Crow or Servo will share a message or image that you can copy and paste to share with your friends, to help spread the word.
3. KEEP CIRCULATING THE FACTS… NICELY! I know there are still some fans out there who are skeptical about this Kickstarter, about why MST3K costs so much money and how we'll spend it, about bringing in a third cast, about who is and isn't going to be involved… So, like they say on the subway, "If you see something, say something!" If you hear fans insisting that $2MM is more than we need to make three episodes, or that the old team isn't invited back, I hope you'll share the facts with them. (Please be nice, though! The internet needs a lot more of that.)
4. JOIN (OR START) A LOCAL MST3K MEETUP GROUP.
The internet is great, but sometimes riffing is even better when you can meet old (and new) friends in person! There are already a lot of MST3K groups on meetup.com, but if there's not one near you, start one now and invite your friends! We've got some events planned for this month, and we'll be calling on all the local groups to be part of them.
As long as we have the funds we need, we'll be able to produce new episodes. That part is easy! But over the last month, I've had lots of time to think about all the possible risks and challenges MST3K could face...
MAYBE THE WORLD HAS CHANGED!
MST3K has been away for a long time. YouTube didn't even exist when we shot the last episode of MST3K. (Yes, Virginia, there was a world before YouTube. People laughed more back then. Colors were brighter. There were concerts in the park.)
I've imagined many hypothetical risks:
What if no one enjoys watching B-movies anymore?
What if you don't want us talking while you do?
What if there is an unknown virus that has killed mankind's ability to enjoy a good solid ironic viewing?
What if kids playing in “Garry’s Mod” on Twitch have made the whole thing meaningless?
What if robot-shaped puppets don’t have the overwhelming cultural significance they once did?
What if our collective consciousness can’t take the excitement, and the entire world becomes a flash mob, and we all steal our own TVs?
What if all eight billion people on the planet become a single “Improv Everywhere” troupe, but don’t have anyone left to surprise?!?
As you can see, this whole endeavor is fraught with risks.
We've been over this! Scroll back up.

This reward gets you two seats at a small GROUP DINNER with JOEL and special guests DAN HARMON and JUSTIN ROILAND ("Rick & Morty" co-creators and MST3K guest writers) and a few other backers**. We’ll talk about writing, story, MST3K, and have pleasant, unemotional conversation to help digestion. (Again, we can’t stress “unemotional” enough.)
Dinner will take place in Los Angeles sometime in the next 12 months. We'll work with you and our other guests to find a good time.
Don’t feel like sharing dinner with your fellow Kickstarters? Send us a message if you're interested in booking a PRIVATE DINNER!
*Travel/accommodations not included. See FAQ for more details. **Limited to 10 pairs of backers, max.
Robert Lopez, the youngest EGOT winner ever, the writer of "The Book of Mormon", "Avenue Q" and "Frozen", and a guest writer for the next season of MST3K, is going big to help make sure we reach our final goal.
If you get this reward, we'll get in touch ASAP and ask you a few questions. Then, Robert Lopez will immediately write a (short) ORIGINAL SONG, just for you, and PREMIERE IT LIVE before the end of our Final Countdown Telethon! Plus, we'll send you a recording of the song and a signed set of sheet music to any of Robert's award-winning compositions.
Let it go, man.
EXPERIMENT 3000: INVENTION EXCHANGE
Always wished you could participate in the Invention Exchange? Now you can… with no inventing required! In exchange for your pledge, we’ll send YOU a new invention featured on screen in one of the new episodes of MST3K, complete with a signed Certificate of Authenticity from Joel AND a personalized video instructing you on how to use your new invention (Experiment 500).
Of course, you'll want to inspect the merchandise before you take it home, so you'll also get a VIP SET VISIT and LUNCH next summer in Los Angeles. And to round things out, we'll also throw in a pair of VIP PREMIERE TICKETS for either NYC or Los Angeles (Experiment 1001 or 1002). What do you think, sirs?
Our friends Penn & Teller will give you four VIP tickets to their show in Vegas, which you’ll see while sitting next to Joel. Before the show, you and your friends will get a PRIVATE magic lesson, and after the show, you’ll hang out with Penn & Teller in the world-famous MONKEY ROOM. Then, they’ll cover your room at the Rio Hotel. Just like MST3K, it’s a kind of magic.
EXPERIMENT 5000: CO-STARRING WITH SCOTT BAIO*... YOU!!!
Watching MST3K isn't enough for you anymore? You want to be *on* MST3K? You're the boss, boss.
Enroll in Experiment 5000, and we'll invite you to set to APPEAR IN A NEW EPISODE OF MST3K**. And not as a nameless face in a huge crowd scene, either. You'll be visible on screen, wearing a costume and makeup. And to prove it to your friends, we'll put your name in the episode credits AND on IMDB.
Plus, when you come to set, we'll give you the FULL VIP TREATMENT: a tour, lunch with the cast, an exclusive "Cast and Crew" t-shirt, and a signed script of your episode. You could be better than Jack Perkins!
*Sorry, Scott Baio is NOT invited back to the set. We've been down that road. **Travel and accommodations not included. See FAQ for more details.
EXPERIMENT 5K: THE PRIVATE RIFF
This one was Patton's idea: our team will riff a short video YOU send us*, just like in our new episodes. Our writers will write riffs, Jonah and the bots will watch your video in the Mystery Science Theater, and Joel might even sit in with them. You'll get a video of the whole thing.
You'll also get a VIP SET VISIT** and LUNCH next summer in Los Angeles.
And to round things out, we'll even throw in a pair of VIP PREMIERE TICKETS* for NYC, Chicago or Los Angeles.
*We can't do whole movies, here. The video needs to be around 5 minutes. Also, you need to own the rights to it, and the video we make can't be used for commercial purposes. Otherwise, this would be the best commercial deal ever. **Travel and accommodations not included. See FAQ for more details.
EXPERIMENT 6000: OPERATION DOUBLE DOUBLE (007)
We admit, the title on this one is a little weak. Let's move on. You want to APPEAR IN A NEW EPISODE OF MST3K but you ALSO want a pair of VIP PREMIERE TICKETS so that you can get blotto with Crow and Servo at the private afterparty.
It's a real Sophie's Choice, huh? Well don't despair: this package includes all of the rewards from EXPERIMENT 5000 (Appear in an Episode) AND your choice of EXPERIMENT 1001 or 1002 (VIP Premiere Tickets for NYC or LA). Looks like you'll be seeing us on set AND on the red carpet, Mr. Big Shot!*
EXPERIMENT 6500: SHE STOLE MIKE'S KEYBOARD!
Until now, the most obscure riff in MST3K history was about Mike's ex-girlfriend. But that'll all change when we INCLUDE YOUR INSIDE JOKE AS A RIFF in a new episode of MST3K. Just think: an MST3K riff that will ONLY make sense to you. Priceless!*
Plus, you and your +1 will join Joel and the cast on the proverbial red carpet** – and at a private after-party – with VIP PREMIERE TICKETS** in NYC or LA. (Your choice: Experiment 1001 or 1002.)
*Not actually priceless. This package costs $6,500. **Travel and accommodations not included. See FAQ for more details.
EXPERIMENT 7500: ...BUT I REALLY WANT TO PLAN.
Want to throw around your money AND your weight?
Well, have we got a deal for you: with this package, you'll BE A PRODUCER* on a new episode of MST3K. Next summer, you'll bring a guest and fly out to Los Angeles to visit the set**, where you'll sit in your own PERSONALIZED DIRECTOR'S CHAIR while you watch us shoot an episode. We'll list you as a KICKSTARTER PRODUCER in the EPISODE CREDITS, on IMDB and on the OFFICIAL POSTER that everyone gets. Plus, you'll get a VIP SET TOUR, lunch with the cast, and more high-powered executive perks.
We'll even throw in two VIP PREMIERE TICKETS for Los Angeles or NYC, where you'll join your humble servants for the debut of the new MST3K pilot episode. Then, you'll hang out with the cast and creators at the private after-party. And if you drink like a real producer, you won't remember ANY of it in the morning.
*We'll give you the credit and an awesome experience on set. You won't actually be responsible for the episode. That wouldn't be much of a reward. See FAQ for more details. **Travel and accommodations not included.
EXPERIMENT 8005: THE GENUINE CROW
All of our backers will be part of Mystery Science History. But you'll do one better: you'll OWN a part of MST3K, when we send you the ACTUAL "CROW T. ROBOT" PUPPET USED IN A NEW EPISODE of MST3K. There's only one of these per episode, and you'll get a signed Certificate of Authenticity to prove it, along with a personalized video (Experiment 500) from YOUR Crow.
Of course, you'll want to inspect the merchandise before you take it home, so you'll also get a VIP SET VISIT* and LUNCH next summer in Los Angeles.
And to round things out, we'll also throw in a pair of VIP PREMIERE TICKETS* for either NYC or Los Angeles (Experiment 1001 or 1002).
*Travel and accommodations not included. See FAQ for more details.
EXPERIMENT 8006: THE GENUINE SERVO
All of our backers will be part of Mystery Science History. But you'll do one better: you'll OWN a part of MST3K, when we send you the ACTUAL "TOM SERVO" PUPPET USED IN A NEW EPISODE of MST3K. There's only one of these per episode, and you'll get a signed Certificate of Authenticity to prove it, along with a personalized video (Experiment 500) from YOUR Servo.
Of course, you'll want to inspect the merchandise before you take it home, so you'll also get a VIP SET VISIT and LUNCH next summer in Los Angeles.
And to round things out, we'll also throw in a pair of VIP PREMIERE TICKETS for either NYC or Los Angeles (Experiment 1001 or 1002).
EXPERIMENT 9999: A PRIVATE DATE WITH YOUR (MST3K) FAMILY
Guess who’s coming to dinner NOW? It could be you and your friends!
Bring up to 6 people for a PRIVATE DINNER WITH THE CAST in Los Angeles.* You’ll join Joel, Jonah, Felicia, Hampton and Baron** for an intimate private dinner. We’ve got a very special venue in mind! And since you’re the guest of honor, you can sit next to whoever you want. Priceless!
Don’t need the cast all to yourself? Check out EXPERIMENT 1500 for two tickets to a GROUP DINNER!
*Travel/accommodations not included. See FAQ for more details. **We’ll do our best to bring all of the cast, subject to their availability, but we can’t PROMISE who will be there. Well, we promise Joel will be there, and you can tell us who you want to meet most. But we’ll try for everyone!
Also includes TWO SETS of all rewards in EXPERIMENTS 010, 025, 035, 050, 075, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300.
Pledge US$ 10,000 or more About US$ 10,000
EXPERIMENT 10K: THE MASTER (OF MST3K)
So you think you've got what it takes to be an MST3K riffer? Alright, then. Let's find out. With this package, you'll JOIN US AS A WRITER* for a new episode. (But suggesting "Hi-keeba!" doesn't count as a riff.) You'll watch one of the new movies in advance, come up with a bunch of riffs, and Joel and the producers will pick the best to go in the script.
Next summer, you'll bring a guest and fly out to Los Angeles to visit the set**, where you'll sit in your own PERSONALIZED DIRECTOR'S CHAIR while you watch us shoot part of the episode you helped write. We'll list you as one of the writers in the EPISODE CREDITS, on IMDB and on the OFFICIAL POSTER that everyone gets. Plus, you'll get a VIP SET TOUR, lunch with the cast, and plenty of other perks. (Just so you know, this is not how writers are treated on set. You're special.)
We'll also throw in two VIP PREMIERE TICKETS for Los Angeles or NYC, where you can join Joel, the cast and other VIP guests for the debut of the new MST3K pilot episode and a private after-party. Pro-tip: real writers tend to drink a lot, unless you're alcohol intolerant. Then it's mocktails til dawn.
*Make sure you know what you're signing up for: see the FAQ for more details. **Travel and accommodations not included.
EXPERIMENT 15K: WITH THE HELP OF YOUR ROBOT FRIENDS
With this package, you'll get BOTH the "CROW T. ROBOT" and "TOM SERVO" ROBOTS featured in a new episode of MST3K, and all of the rewards listed in EXPERIMENTS 8005 and 8006.
Owner's Warning: Please be sure to store your Tom and Crow in separate rooms, or they are likely to creep around in the night. They feed off of each other's powers like parasites.
Pledge US$ 25,000 About US$ 25,000
EXPERIMENT 25K: YOU'RE THE GOD. *YOU’RE* THE GOD!
This is it: the end of the road. No mortal man (or woman) should have this much power, but for one or two generous patrons, we'll name you an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER for the ENTIRE NEW SEASON*.
As soon as the campaign ends, Joel will CALL TO THANK YOU and tell you a little bit more about what we have planned. Next summer, you'll bring a guest and fly out to Los Angeles to visit the set**, where you'll sit in your own PERSONALIZED DIRECTOR'S CHAIR while you watch us shoot an episode. We'll list you as an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER in the EPISODE CREDITS all season long, on IMDB and on the OFFICIAL POSTER that everyone gets. Plus, you'll get a VIP SET TOUR, lunch with the cast, and more high-powered executive perks.
We'll even throw in four VIP PREMIERE TICKETS for Los Angeles or NYC, where you'll join your underlings for the debut of the new MST3K pilot episode. Then, you'll hang out with the cast and creators at the private after-party, where you can shake your moneymaker to earn back what you spent helping us make the season. It'll be nuts, man.
Please note that this package actually costs $25,000 USD (+ SHIPPING), which is more than the maximum that Kickstarter allows us to collect. If you claim this reward, we'll follow up with you ASAP to arrange for the rest of the pledge.
*We'll give you the credit and an awesome experience on set. You won't actually be responsible for doing work. That wouldn't be much of a reward. See FAQ for more details. **Travel and accommodations not included.

Campaigners crowdfunding to bring to life Cricklewood Library
PUBLISHED: 13:26 19 July 2017
Campaigners need to raise £100k for the new Cricklewood Library, built as part of a new development. Picture: ANGELA BLAKE
Campaigners hoping to bring a library in Cricklewood back to life are crowdfunding to make the dream happen.
Friends of Cricklewood Library are looking to raise £100,000 convert the building’s empty shell into a community hub for all to enjoy.
The group were devastated after the library in Olive Road, first built in 1929, was closed in 2011.
It was bought by Luxap LTD who have given the library back to the group.
The new 2,000 sq ft of space needs plumbing and electrics aswell as bookshelves and tables before they can allow the community in.
When completed the library will host workshops, clubs and activities including language classes, music and dance.
Sally Long, chair of FOCL, said: “After seven years we’ve won a rent free space in perpetuity. We need help kitting it out.”

Add Pat Summitt and Vicky Fulmer's spice-filled recipes to Saturday's tailgating lineup Tailgating recipes were taken from the Knoxville News Sentinel archives Check out this story on knoxnews.com: https://knoxne.ws/2LUss2g

Tradition is huge for University of Tennessee Volunteers, especially during football season.
Customs manifest themselves in a variety of ways, including wearing team-inspired attire, not deviating from tailgating locations, and sometimes even serving the same tried and true dishes year after year.
The Knoxville News Sentinel archives is a wellspring of time-tested recipes thanks to retired News Sentinel food editor Louise Durman, who published a yearly tailgating section loaded with recipes from UT coaches' wives and parents of UT football teammates as well as an abundance of dishes from Volunteer fans.
Pat Summitt's jalapeno-corn casserole recipe featured below is a dish that she served at most every get-together she had with her basketball players. Even though it's not roundball season, the dish is loaded with Volunteer tradition and packs a hefty punch of heat depending on how heavy handed one gets with the jalapeno slices.

Why I'm Ditching My MacBook Pro for the MateBook X Pro
By Henry T. Casey | June 16, 2018 11:00 am
Ever since 1998, when I won an iMac in a high school raffle, I've been firmly entrenched in Apple's world, and I thought I was never going back. But even though my 2012 MacBook Pro, the first Retina Display model, is my favorite tech purchase ever, I'm getting tempted by a stellar Windows 10 PC: Huawei's MateBook X Pro.
But why am I preparing to leave my favorite laptop ever, which runs all the Mac-exclusive apps I love? And what kind of PC could convince me to leave Apple after 20 years and give Windows 10 (which I don't even like) a chance?
Apple doesn't make MacBook Pros like it used to
The clock is ticking on my MacBook Pro, which I bought the day it was announced: June 20, 2012 (my old iBook had just died). That means my current computer is turning 6 years old this Wednesday. And while I want it to last — 6 years is admittedly a decent lifetime for a laptop — it's showing its age, taking longer to wake from sleep and having those rainbow-beach-ball processing delays.
Buying a new MacBook is difficult, though, as Apple moved away from the MacBook Pro design I love and embraced a thinner, but quite problematic design.
How bad is it? There are a ton of people complaining about Apple's keyboards, whose butterfly-style switches fail in the face of any detritus, including dust. In fact, Apple faces a pair of class-action lawsuits (1, 2) that argue that the keyboards are prone to failure when "minimal amounts of dust or debris accumulate under or around a key" and that Apple knew about this defect "at or before the time it began selling these models to the public."

Another major issue with the new MacBooks is that Apple went all in on the new USB Type-C ports. Unfortunately, most of my hardware is still using the boxy, Type-A USB 3.0 port, which means buying — and carrying — a multiport dongle adapter is an annoying necessity.
Enter the MateBook X Pro
After three years at Laptop Mag, I finally found a PC laptop that seemed like a suitable replacement when I reviewed the Huawei MateBook X Pro this past April. Not only does it sound like a MacBook Pro, but it looks like one, too, with tapering edges, Space Gray and silver options, and a minimal shiny logo in the center of its lid.
The 2.9-pound MateBook X Pro also offers what I like about the modern MacBook Pro (namely, a fingerprint reader in the top right corner of the keyboard) but avoids what I dislike. First of all, the Touch Bar, that sliver of an OLED touch screen that nobody's found a good use for, is absent, replaced by the physical escape and function keys we all use.
And speaking of keys, the MateBook X Pro has a keyboard I actually enjoy using. This is because its keys feature traditional mechanisms and not the butterfly switches that Apple uses. That means the keys actually feel like they're moving up and down when you type and not as if you're pecking at hard plastic. Also, the MateBook X Pro's keys feature 1.1 millimeters of vertical travel, which is taller than the 0.8mm in the 15-inch MacBook Pro's keys.
The MateBook X Pro's touchpad is also better than Apple's, a statement I'm still shocked to type after MacBooks spent the better half of the last decade with the best, most-reliable touchpads. Sadly, it doesn't take much to win here, either, as the MateBook X Pro's touchpad got my vote simply because I can click down on it. Apple's Force Touch trackpad, by contrast, uses haptic feedback to trick you into thinking the pad moved. And it doesn't fool me any more.
And, oh yeah, Huawei built the MateBook X Pro with two USB-C ports and one full-size USB 3.0 port, so there's no need to worry about dongles.
So why not other PCs?
The Dell XPS 13 is Laptop Mag's favorite laptop overall, but it's not for me, with my preference for the MateBook X Pro beginning at the cash register. I've got my eye on a MateBook X Pro with a Core i7 8550U CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage, which costs $1,499 right now. An XPS 13 with those same specs runs you $600 more, at $2,099.
Also, that XPS 13 can't be configured with a discrete graphics card, whereas the MateBook X Pro packs Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics, which is enough for Cuphead, the only PC game I care about. If I wanted a lot more graphics power, I could get the XPS 15, with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti card, but at 4.6 pounds, it weighs 1.7 pounds more than the MateBook. And just like the smaller Dell, it costs $2,099.
But what about Lenovo, which makes laptops with best-in-class keyboards? Its ThinkPad Carbon is worth considering, and my colleague Avram Piltch of Tom's Hardware just sank his own hard-earned money into that machine. The only downsides, though, are that its similar configuration costs $434 more, at $1,934, and it doesn't have a discrete graphics card.

And HP? The 15-inch Spectre x360 is a sleek convertible that's price- and spec-competitive. It's almost exactly what I want, but at 4.2 pounds, it's just a little heavier than what I'm looking for.
So here I go....
For the next month, I'm going to see if I can switch from life on macOS to Windows 10 with the MateBook X Pro. I've already found plenty of pain points while looking for new apps and solutions, but considering the hazy outlook on the future of Apple's hardware (even Mac app developer Rogue Amoeba agrees with me on that), I need to start testing the waters so I know what to do if my 2012 MacBook doesn't make it to its seventh year.
Oh, and Apple? I don't want to give up on you; it just feels like you've forgotten about those of us who want a good keyboard. I've seen your "Behind the Mac" videos, in which you show a series of MacBook users, including Grimes (whose music I love), enjoying your laptops, but you're leaving out a major part of the MacBook Pro user experience.
In a company-wide meeting, I saw a colleague rapidly clicking the spacebar on his MacBook Pro, trying to fix the crucially important key. Until that part of MacBook Pro ownership goes away, I have to consider all my options.

USC’s Josh Imatorbhebhe has a chance to make a name for himself at receiver
USC redshirt sophomore receiver Josh Imatorbhebhe is looking to break into the wide receiver rotation in 2018.
(Shotgun Spratling / Los Angeles Times)
By Lindsey Thiry
Josh Imatorbhebhe knows there’s an opportunity.
Last season, the USC receiver saw limited playing time in a position group that boasted several playmakers.
But the depth chart has thinned since Deontay Burnett declared for the NFL draft and Steven Mitchell Jr. exhausted his eligibility, leaving room for Imatorbhebhe, a third-year sophomore, to claim a larger role.
“My M.O. now is really just to improve every single day,” Imatorbhebhe said after Tuesday’s practice. “I feel like I’ve been improving this whole offseason.”
Imatorbhebhe, whose brother Daniel is a tight end for the Trojans, has caught two passes for 11 yards since arriving from North Gwinnett High in Suwanee, Ga. in 2016.
But his progress was apparent last Friday during a modified scrimmage in full pads.
“His natural ability and explosiveness is off the charts,” coach Clay Helton said. “He’s a special talent that is really coming into his own.”
Imatorbhebhe demonstrated a knack for gaining yards after the catch when he took a short pass and turned it into a long gain. He also showed he could stretch the field when he hauled in a deep throw along the sideline.
“I just focused on what I had to do,” Imatorbhebhe said. “And those were the results.”
Despite key departures, USC’s receiving corps remains stocked with talent with the return of third-year sophomore Tyler Vaughns, who caught 57 passes for 809 yards and five touchdowns last season, and junior Michael Pittman Jr., who caught 23 passes for 404 yards and two touchdowns.
Imatorbhebhe said his focus this spring was improvement, rather than earning a starting spot.
“The best thing that I can do for myself is not try so hard for that, cause that’s in the future,” Imatorbhebhe said. “But every single day, try to get better.”
No little things
Bryan Ellis saw several things he liked from Matt Fink and Jack Sears during the modified scrimmage.
The first-year quarterbacks coach also watched some mistakes that must be fixed.
Ball security, which Helton said was a point of emphasis this spring, was an issue when each quarterback dropped a snap from redshirt freshman center Brett Neilon.
Ellis said the errors signaled that quarterbacks were saturated with information.
“It’s going up and being a young guy, having so many things going through your head,” Ellis said. “And you forget to do the simplest thing.”
Fink watched film of the modified scrimmage, the Trojans’ first this spring in full pads, and was pleased that he was able to pick up on blitzes and read the defense, but said he needed to improve chemistry with receivers.
“I probably have some timing issues,” said Fink, who is the only quarterback on the roster with game experience. “And some plays where I didn’t feel necessarily confident where I should have.”
Sears was content with his accuracy, but said he needed to trust himself to make more throws.
“There were a couple of balls that we completed, but if I had let it go earlier it probably would have been a bigger gain or a touchdown,” Sears said.
Pittman did not practice because of a shoulder injury… Tight end Tyler Petite was slowed because of a lower back injury and receiver Randal Grimes was slowed because of a groin injury… USC president Max Nikias attended practice.

Hartland Covered Bridge National Historic Site of Canada
Hartland, New Brunswick, E7P, Canada
Formally Recognized: 1977/11/17
Other Name(s)
Hartland Covered Bridge
Pont couvert de Hartland
Construction Date(s)
Listed on the Canadian Register: 2007/06/20
Description of Historic Place
A striking feature in the New Brunswick landscape is the Hartland Covered Bridge, the largest of its kind in the world. Its massive concrete piers support a long, enclosed wooden bridge, held up by Howe trusses. The bridge offers protected crossing of the Saint John River at the Village of Hartland. The designation refers to the bridge structure and cladding on its piers.
Heritage Value
Hartland Covered Bridge was designated a national historic site of Canada because this structure is the longest covered bridge extant in the world.
The heritage value of this site resides in its design and physical fabric. The structure, 390.75 metres long, is believed to be by far the longest covered bridge extant in the world. Covered bridges date from the first decade of the 19th century when North American buildings began using wooden trusses for long spans and covered them to prevent the truss joins from rotting. After 1840 the Howe truss, which introduced iron tension rods into the truss work, was widely adopted and New Brunswick erected numerous bridges using this technique, among them this one, built in 1921 with a walkway added in 1943.
Source: Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, Minutes, November 1977 and November 1979.
Character-Defining Elements
Aspects of this site which contribute to its heritage values include the features of a long covered bridge, namely its:
- construction design utilizing the Howe truss, in combination with wood framing, vertical weatherboarding and gabled roof,
- concrete piers and abutments,
- appended pedestrian walkway,
- wood shingle arched openings at either end and openings along its length,
- electrical lighting, and,
- relationship with the river, roads and shoreline.

Elgar, Martinů: Cello Concertos (Sol Gabetta)
by Lisa MacKinney on March 31, 2017
Argentine cellist Sol Gabetta catapulted into public consciousness when she won the Crédit Suisse Young Artist Award in 2004 and subsequently debuted with the Vienna Philharmonic and Valery Gergiev. She was 23 then, but had won her first competition at the age of ten, and now enjoys a hectic international career as one of the world’s most famous and highly-regarded cellists.
Her wide-ranging repertoire includes three albums of works by Vivaldi and his contemporaries, recorded with Capella Gabetta, the ensemble she founded with her brother Andrés. In addition to core 19th-century repertoire, she is also committed to contemporary compositions, and has recorded an album of works by Latvian composer Pe¯teris Vasks which included his Second Cello Concerto, written especially for Gabetta.
This latest album features two 20th-century masterworks – the first, arguably the most famous cello concerto in the repertoire; the second, virtually unknown by comparison. Elgar’s concerto was written in 1919, with the dark pall of WWI hanging heavily upon its composer, who wrote, next to its entry in his catalogue of works, “Finis. R.I.P.”. Its 1919 premiere was a disaster, and it languished in popularity until recorded by Jacqueline du Pré in 1965 (incredibly, she was only 20) and her technically brilliant, impassioned and wildly popular version remains the standard against which all others are measured.
This is Gabetta’s second recording of Elgar’s elegiac concerto, live from the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden in 2014, and the acoustics are rich, warm and magnificent. Gabetta’s masterful reading is characterised by her trademark ‘singing’ tone; intense lyricism with just the right balance of languid restraint. Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic soar sympathetically without over-emoting, all of which contributes to a recording in which Gabetta utterly inhabits the material.
Bohuslav Martinu˚’s First Cello Concerto is an astute choice of companion piece, a work with an extremely complicated genesis that has origins roughly contemporary with Elgar’s concerto. It was commenced in 1930, reworked in 1939, extensively revised yet again to arrive at this version from 1955 (more detail is available in the concise but informative liner notes accompanying this CD).
It’s a fabulously interesting work, with a stunning lyrical second movement that explodes in bursts of passionate intensity and is an excellent complement for the Elgar. Hopefully Gabetta’s recording will provide impetus for others, as there are only a handful currently in print. But for now, these new recordings of two significant cello concerti are not to be missed.

Alaska Highway Travel Atlas

View All ITMB Atlases
View All ITMB Publishing
View All Road Atlases
This booklet is the same size as all other ITMB atlases and is designed to fit comfortably in a user’s backpack, purse, or car door storage bin. The famous Alaska Highway of WW2 fame has been largely paved and straightened by now, but is still one of the paramount exploration adventures in the world and is far more accessible than the Karakoram or mid-Australia routes. The original highway, from Dawson Creek in northern British Columbia to close to Fairbanks, Alaska, has been supplemented by several off-shoots: the Dempster Highway leading to Inuvik, in Canada’s Northwest Territories, the Dalton Highway, leading north to the high Arctic at Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, and the Stewart Highway leading south through the Coastal Mountains to Prince Rupert, BC are all closely integrated with the traditional Alaska Highway. All of these are shown in great detail in this atlas. Road conditions, distances, campgrounds, convenient hiking trails, heights of land, parks, and everything else that we could think of to make this booklet useful has been included. It has also been very attractively priced, which I hope is being noted. This is a light-weight and nicely-presented attempt to move mapping forwards into its bright future as value-added information of use to users and affordably priced.

New Album Reviews
February 28, 2019 LonesomeHighway.com
Danny Schmidt Standard Deviation Live Once
The first thing you notice and the thing that draws you into this record is the warmth and intimacy of Schmidt’s voice. His songwriter is mature and poetic dealing with the kind of things that really matter to someone who has a few years behind them. This is essentially a broadstroke folk album but one where the assembled players round out the sound with subtle but essential touches and song-serving restraint. Producer Will Robertson crew of Fats Kaplan, Colin Agnew and Robertson himself handle the instrumentation in the main. The harmony vocals also play an important part with Schmidt’s wife Carrie Elkin joining Mira Stanley Costa, Chuck Costa and Cara May Gorman adding their voices to Schmidt’s voice and acoustic guitar. The sound they create has a wonderful all encompassing feel that has had me returning to the album more often that happens usually.
There is a strong sense of love (and gratitude) on the album which is dedicated to his wife and baby daughter. Something to welcome when so many albums rail against the woes of the world this album largely celebrates the more positive sides of life. Songs like Just Wait ’Til They See You, Blue Eyed Hole In Time, Bones Of Emotion and The Longest Way. One song Newport ’65 reflects on and quotes from Bob Dylan but does so in a non-obvious way that makes it an interesting observation in its own right. The final song is intensely personal yet universal and deals with the grief and trauma of miscarriage and the need to treat the experience in a more compassionate way. We Need A Better Word closes an album that is a career high and one that places Schmidt among the best songwriters of his generation.
Review by Stephen Rapid
Pete Berwick Island Self Release
Delivering what may be according to himself his last album Peter Berwick makes sure that it counts. It is a forceful album built around Berwick’s hard-scrabble voice and guitar. His music has been described as punk infused alternative country which about sums him up in the past through these days, he is well capable of a less forceful, more reflective set of slower-paced rock songs like the “love the one your” with sentiment of Just Make It You And Me Tonight or the yearning love of the title track. That as opposed to the full on opening salvo of I’m Getting Tired Of This Place. He is, as his song says, getting through One Setback At A Time maybe arriving at a place where he can look both backwards and forward and see that he is not afraid to face either view.
He recorded his album with producer Jason Botka (who plays keyboards and guitars) and the band The Mugshot Saints who include Jennifer Botka on baking vocals. It has a certain grit and grief in his outlook on a country that both gives and takes away. However, there is hope in his outlook as They Gave Love A Chance testifies though their other side of the coin is spun out with I’m Really Not That Kind. This mix of styles places him on the fringes of what might be termed outlaw. Berwick is never going to compromise his music and as such Island is a continuation of the path he has trodden since his first album was released in 1996. Berwick has made a journey to get to this point which is why these songs seem to be real slices of heartland rock drawn from real life.
Luke Spehar The Pilgrim Self Release
There is a sense of deeply held faith in this elevated folk album from the Minnesota singer/songwriter who now lies in St. Paul with his wife and children. Here he has penned a set of songs that encompass a sense of love, life and a lasting and enduring sense of hope. Spehar has a gentle but rewarding voice that sits above these quiet and largely acoustic bass songs that are not, though, without some occasional up-tempo moments. Otherwise he speaks softly of his travel as a pilgrim wherein he has brought together his experience from traveling about the US and further afield in his search for spiritual honesty.
Spehar produced the album with Matt Patrick in his home state and employs light touches of percussion, keyboards, bass, banjo and fiddle to give some weight to these songs which move through tempo and mood. They can vary from the drive and accessibility of the bonus track Joshua which has a big and encompassing chorus that make it an immediate stand out. This mini album contains 7 tracks so acts as an introduction to the artist who had previously released 3 previous full length albums. His work is maybe a little too pure for some but the opening songs The Farmer and America And Me offer a sense of place and of spirituality that offers a peace that will appeal to those looking for something that offers a lighter perspective without becoming lightweight. Spehar brings this thoughtfulness to this album and it something that is sure to find its followers.
William The Conqueror Bleeding On The Soundtrack Loose
Newquay based U.K. three-piece William The Conqueror have raised the bar quite a number of notches with their second album, the Ethan Johns produced Bleeding On The Soundtrack. The band comprise Ruarri Joseph on vocals and guitar, Harry Harding on drums and Naomi Holmes on bass. Glasgow born Joseph formed the band following a solo career that delivered four solo albums. Their debut album Proud Disturber Of The Peace was released in 2017 and their reputation has grown steadily as a dynamic live act bleeding grungy folk and hard edge blues and rock, a throw back to a sound often excelled by Brit bands in the late 60’s / early 70’s. If their debut album created a few ripples in the industry, Bleeding On The Soundtrack is more akin to a tsunami, with Ethan Johns the consummate producer to channel Joseph’s forthright, enraged and exasperated storytelling into a powerful and rugged piece of music. John’s equally manages to capture the dynamic of the band’s live shows on the album, from the rocky opener Path Of The Crow, to the beautifully paced and exceptional closer Within Your Spell. Following on from their debut album, it’s a further retrospective by Joseph into a traumatic and troubled journey from adolescence to adulthood. Tales of family alcoholism, drug addiction, self-loathing and remorse feature in the autobiographical writing by Joseph, reflecting on his early adulthood. However, the content is delivered more by way of cleansing and healing than contrition. There’s no lack of humour also, Sensitive Side recalls adolescence and confused signals as Joseph revisits an unfulfilled teenage crush (‘’ What a scene, I was only fifteen the world was a thorn in my side’’). Madness On The Line has a thumping bass line and harmonica riffs straight out of Canvey Island courtesy of Dr. Feelgood and Be So Kind could be an outtake from Van Morrison’s Into The Music. Crashing bass chords, brisk drumming and rumbustious guitar breaks are what define the band and no more so than on title track Bleeding On The Soundtrack - a hypnotic blues burner which explodes into a rip-roaring finale – and the equally impressive The Curse Of Friends.
William The Conqueror’s growing reputation as one of the U.K’s most dynamic emerging live acts can only be enhanced by BOTS. Ethan Johns has managed to capture their live high-powered energy and faultlessly transfer it to the studio. I’m loving this and looking forward to seeing them live once more at Kilkenny Roots in May. Crank up the volume to max and enjoy!

Jamie Lin Wilson Jumping Over Rocks Self-Release
They don’t come much more authentic ‘country’ than D’Hanis South Texas (population 550) resident Jamie Lin Wilson. The former Gougers and Trisha’s band member may have arrived late to her calling - picking up her first guitar at the age of 19 - but she has certainly made up for lost time. The writing on her solo albums Holidays and Wedding Rings (2015) and her latest album Jumping Over Rocks, harks back to yesteryear, when many country writers were in
spired by simple everyday occurrences and observations. She also balances her musical career with motherhood, often overcoming the impediment of touring and providing for her family by bringing her four children on tour with her. She doesn’t hang around either, this album was recorded live in four days at Arlen Studios in Austin Texas, with no overdubs or vocal auto tunes. The production duties were handled by Steve Christensen and the album in many ways benefits from the accelerated recording giving it a sense of a live recording.
Five of the songs are self written, four are co-writes and one is a cover of Guy Clark’s Instant CoffeeBlues. Some covers work particularly well, if the artists put their own slant on the song, others less so. Electing to include the Guy Clark classic had me scratching my head prior to playing it. Fortunately, Wilson’s recording of the song sticks very close to the original. It’s a duet with Jack Ingram (whose vocal contribution sounds remarkably like John Prine) and they simply nail it, to the extent that I had the track on repeat several times. The choice of co-writers is also impressive and an indication of the regard Wilson is held by her peers. Ingram, Brian Wright, Mike Ethan Messick and Evan Felker all contribute. Opener song Faithful and True, co-written with Jack Ingram, is beautifully paced with Wilson’s disciplined vocal delivery entering Emmylou territory. In fact, the album as a whole recalls the sound Emmylou Harris created on her mid 70’s Reprise Label albums, the idyllic blend of country and roots music. Wilson’s Hot Band for the recording include a formidable gathering of quality players in Charlie Sexton on guitar, Scott Davis on bass, Richard Millsap on drums, Trevor Norton on keyboards and Cody Angel on pedal steel and dobro. Oklahoma Stars, written with Evan Felker of Turnpike Troubadours, is a sweet country ballad, the added vocals by Felker and weeping pedal steel by Angel adding depth to the song. The strength of her own songwriting comes to bear on the stunning Death & Life, a widow’s reflection on the early passing of her husband (‘’it’s been three years in November, she still ain’t bought a stone, I used to be a lover and I still feel like a wife, that’s the way that it goes in the game of death and life’’). Run, grappling with a relationship gone sour, is possibly the most radio friendly inclusion, a richly textured sound complementing Wilson’s soaring vocals.
Jamie Lin Wilson is yet another name to add to the growing list of Independent female artists writing and recording outstanding material, yet remaining somewhat below the radar. She’s certainly pushed out the boundaries this time around, so do check this album out. I’ve no doubt you’ll enjoy it every bit as much as myself.
Buffalo Blood Self-Titled Eel Pie
Neilson Hubbard has been a busy man of late. Three artists, whose albums he produced, Mary Gauthier, Ben Glover and Dean Owens, won awards at the recent AmericanaFest U.K. He also recorded his last solo album Cumberland Island in 2018 and continues to perform with three-piece band The Orphan Brigade. His latest collaboration Buffalo Blood, is a blend of Celtic and Southern American roots folk, inspired by a desire by Hubbard and his musical associates, Dean Owens, Joshua Britt and Audrey Spillman, to consider and reflect on the landscape and environment previously occupied by the Native Americans. The recording voyage for their self-titled album brought them across The Trail Of Tears, the journey enforced on the natives as they were driven from their ancestral lands to what was designated as Indian Territory, across The Mississippi River. The album was recorded in locations from the New Mexico Desert to La Plaza Blanca in Abiquiu and atmospherically captures much of those environs and habitat including real life sounds of birds, animals and winds.
The concept album consists of fifteen tracks, intended as a double vinyl release, with the song writing duties shared by Hubbard, Owens and Britt, some of which is fictional, others based on real life events. Instrumentation includes guitars, percussion, bass, keyboards and mandolin. Ghostly whistling and chanting are also included, but the real winner are the gorgeous harmonies they create across the exceptionally well written narratives. Sadness, wrath and regret understandably surface, particularly on tracks Comanche Moon, Vanishing World and Reservations which deal directly with the banishment of communities from their lands, but there’s also positiveness and pride on I’m Alive and Carry The Feather.
The album is an ambitious and brave project, tackling a topic often ignored musically, with the possible exception of Buffy Sainte - Marie. To their credit, Buffalo Blood have managed to bring to pass an exceptionally well researched, written and vocalised work, which would pass with flying colours as a soundtrack to a movie on the same subject.
Great Peacock Gran Pavo Real Self Release
Nashville based Great Peacock release their second album and all songs are written by Andrew Nelson (guitars, electric piano & vocals) and Blount Floyd (guitars, harmonica & vocals). They open with Hideaway, a track that rocks with organ swells and a bright guitar tone. Following with the slow tempo and loose groove of One Way Ticket, this is alt country music that resonates. The soulful sound of Begging To Stay is balanced by the bar room feel of Heartbreak Comin’ Down and the slow blues of Take Me Down displays a different band dynamic as they build the arrangement into guitar driven territory.
Recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium, the album was produced by Dexter Green (Jason Isbell, Elizabeth Cooke), who also contributes electric guitar, organ and bass to the record. Tom Blankenship (My Morning Jacket) also plays bass and Ralph Lofton plays organ and piano across the ten tracks. Nick Recio (drums, percussion & acoustic guitar) completes the line-up.
Oh Deep Water is a chilled, relaxed sound with pedal steel by Carl Broemel floating across the melody. Rattlesnake has an up-tempo rhythm with nice guitar lines while the acoustic sound of All I Really Want Is You suggests a more commercial direction. The final track, Miss You Honey, is a slow tempo melody and a wistful vocal about lost love. The band produce an impressive sound that channels Americana at its best.

Ben Fisher Does The Land Remember Me? Self Release
It’s always about Land – the conflicts of this World, dividing Nations and causing untold suffering upon so many populations… Land to be conquered, to be claimed, to be annexed, to be granted by Political favour, to be controlled by Governments and armies.
Ben Fisher has a degree in Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies and he moved to Israel in 2014 in order to gain first-hand knowledge of the conflict between the Israel and Palestinian people. He wanted to present both sides of the argument that surrounds the daily focus of survival and the right to live a life in service to deep-seated beliefs.
He asked celebrated singer-songwriter Damien Jurado to produce the project, which runs to 17-tracks and clocks in at just shy of 56 minutes. The uncluttered approach and stripped-down use of instrumentation bring great focus and resonance. All songs are written by Ben Fisher apart from one cover, Why We Build The Wall, by Anais Mitchell. The sequence jumps around in terms of time and history while some songs are written from a personal, modern-day perspective (Brave New World, Horses and Helpers). The last song, Take A Look Around, is referenced by the comment that “The making of the modern state of Israel was a miracle...”
Well, my understanding of history thinks that the United Nations Special Commission examined the Palestinian question and recommended the partition of Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state. Despite growing conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews, United States President, Harry S. Truman ultimately decided to recognize the state of Israel. Great Britain had opposed both the creation of a Jewish state and an Arab state in Palestine, as well as unlimited immigration of Jewish refugees to the region.
The holocaust of WW2 caused the immigration of millions of Jewish people to Palestine and this is covered in songs like Exodus. The title track refers to the mass emigration of Arabs from Palestine having lost the 1948 war with the new Israel, a pivotal moment in all this conflict, and Yallah To Abdullah also covers this period with Jordan taking many thousands of fleeing families into the country.
The inclusion of Why We Build the Wall is perfectly legitimised, given the fear, hatred and paranoia that exists on both sides of the divide. It also gives a wry nod to the utter chaos and absurdity of the USA situation where Mexico is considered less than human and a place where inhabitants must be corralled against leaving for greener pastures and opportunity. Had Palestine the power to take a similar stance, then would the current situation have developed - one can only ponder?
Gaza is addressed in terms of a jump between 1956 and 2014; the murder of a Jewish boy is set against the airstrikes and rocket launches where thousands of Palestinians died against 76 Israelis in terrible atrocities. Fathers and Sons lives repeat across the decades and the heartbreak of 1948 is balanced with the moments captured by, If I Have To Go, and the sense that everything is transient.
In the World where war torn reality invades our easy lives in TV land, a release like this is a wake-up call to realise the suffering of part of our human race on a scale that rarely impacts upon our comfortable way of life in the Western World. Credit to Ben Fisher (Vocals, Piano, Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Mellotron, Harmonica), Faustine Hudson (Percussion), Micah Simler (Bass), Steve Norman (Pedal Steel), John Northey (Flugelhorn, Trumpet), Noah Gundersen (Electric Guitar, Vocals), Shelby Earl (Vocals) and Damien Jurado (Vocals) for a work of some substance and most worthy of investigation.

5,300-Year-Old Iceman’s Last Meal Was ‘Stone Age Bacon’
Oetzi the famous “iceman” mummy of the Alps appears to have enjoyed a fine slice or two of Stone Age bacon before he was killed by an arrow some 5,300 years ago.
His last meal was most likely dried goat meat, according to scientists who recently managed to dissect the contents of Oetzi’s stomach.
“We’ve analyzed the meat’s nanostructure and it looks like he ate very fatty, dried meat, most likely bacon,” German mummy expert Albert Zink said at a talk in Vienna late Wednesday.
More specifically, the tasty snack is thought to have come from a wild goat in South Tyrol, the northern Italian region where Oetzi roamed around and where his remains were found in September 1991.
(AFP Photo)
Mummified in ice, he was discovered by two German hikers in the Oetztal Alps, 3,210 metres (10,500 feet) above sea level.
Scientists have used hi-tech, non-invasive diagnostics and genomic sequencing to penetrate his mysterious past.
These efforts have determined Oetzi died around the age of 45, was about 1.60 metres (five foot, three inches) tall and weighed 50 kilos (110 pounds).
He suffered a violent death, with an arrow severing a major blood vessel between the rib cage and the left shoulder blade, as well as a laceration on the hand.
As part of their latest discoveries, Zink’s team also found that Oetzi had an ulcer-inducing bacteria and may have suffered from stomach aches.
But for all his parasites, worn ligaments and bad teeth, he was in “pretty good shape”, Zink wrote in the renowned US magazine Science earlier this month.

I think I saw him on a double bill with Willy Nelson.

Deadly Archer determined to keep cool in heat of World Cup battle
Jofra Archer will become a World Cup finalist less than three months after making his international debut, but England’s leading wicket-taker at the tournament does not expect nerves to be a problem.
Archer only joined his new team-mates for the first time in May, after changes to the governing body’s residency rules fast-tracked the Barbados-born seamer’s eligibility, but has made a stunning impact.
The 24-year-old has already set a new England record with 19 wickets at the tournament and excelled on his biggest stage to date, dismissing Australia captain Aaron Finch lbw with his first ball of Thursday’s semi-final at Edgbaston, before returning to see off the dangerous Glenn Maxwell.

— Cricket World Cup (@cricketworldcup) July 11, 2019
A crushing eight-wicket victory set up a winner-takes-all date with New Zealand on Sunday and it will be no surprise if Archer is the coolest man at Lord’s.
“I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet. But the calmer you are the better you are in these situations,” said Archer.
“I just think I’ve always been like this. I try not to get nervous because then you end up doing stuff that you are not really supposed to do.
Jofra Archer dismissed Australia captain Aaron Finch for a golden duck and also snared the dangerous Glenn Maxwell in the semi-final win (Nigel French/PA)
“Butterflies? Not really. Even when we were at breakfast before Australia…I may be wrong but I don’t think anyone looked nervous. Everyone just looked focused by the time we got into the ground. It’s those little things that make you feel like the guys are really ready.”
Archer’s on-field demeanour typically matches his measured words off it, but even he admits that sending the Australia skipper back for a golden duck set the adrenaline racing.
“Emotions were definitely flying after that,” he said with a smile.
“It definitely pushed the team. Everyone was just a lot more focused and switched on. I’m just glad the team is going well.
“I could be doing terribly as long as the team is winning. That would be alright. I’m just happy to play games and win games.”
It seems increasingly likely that Archer will get another crack at Australia during the forthcoming Ashes series, with the only real question surrounding his fitness, not his ability.
There is a growing clamour to unleash him in the Test arena but he has been managing a side issue throughout the last few weeks and England may choose to delay his introduction.
“After Sunday, I’ll probably answer that but for now I’m just focusing on trying to win the final,” he said.
“I’ll keep soldiering on. I have been for a few games now and it’s not got any worse. I was probably going to rest any way but I don’t think Sussex are going to flog me right now.
“I think I may get a well-deserved rest.”

3-30 v West Indies

Very little has surprised Archer since he landed on the global stage, but he did express bemusement at the interest in mining his past social media posts.
His prolific use of Twitter as a cricket-mad youngster has given rise to the notion that there is ‘an Archer tweet for every occasion’, often referencing his current team-mates and opponents.
“I have seen this but I don’t know why this should be a big thing! It’s just social media, that’s all it’s there for,” he said.

“I used to do it when I was just watching cricket back home. I wasn’t even in England for half of that stuff.”
Asked if there would be a fitting message to mark England’s first World Cup win in a couple of days’ time, he grinned and added: “Definitely”.
Jason Roy will be reunited with umpire Kumar Dharmasena in Sunday’s final, after the Sri Lankan was appointed for the Lord’s showpiece.
The pair were involved in a tense moment during England’s semi-final thrashing of Australia after Dharmasena incorrectly gave Roy caught behind on 85.

Both batsman and official appeared to be unaware that Jonny Bairstow had already used England’s DRS review, with Roy making the signal and Dharmasena sending the decision upstairs – a process that was only quashed after a reminder from Australia’s fielders.
Denied the chance to make the highest-profile century of his career, Roy remonstrated long and loud before trudging off the field in a state of barely concealed fury, with stump microphones picking up an apparent obscenity.
The 28-year-old was fined 30 per cent of his match fee and handed two demerit points on his disciplinary record as a result, sanctions he accepted at a post-match hearing.
Dharmasena will stand alongside South African Marais Erasmus. Rod Tucker will be the only Australian to see action in the finale, taking up the third umpire’s chair, with Pakistan’s Aleem Dar (fourth official) and Sri Lankan Ranjan Madugalle (match referee) also chosen.

All the Craziest 'Game of Thrones' Conspiracy Theories, Ranked
"You know nothing." —George RR Martin to everyone
By Samantha Leal
Whether you read the books and then watched the show or just did one or the other, fact is, Game of Thrones is some messed up sh*t in the best way. Oh you love a character? Now he's dead. Oh you think someone's actually going to be happy for once? Hah. Oh you think that one little detail you may have overlooked because it was literally one sentence doesn't matter? Wrong.
At this point there are so many paranoid Game of Thrones conspiracy theories that it's a little hard to keep track. And now that the show is going off-book (damnit George put us out of our misery already), there could be just as many book theories as there are show theories and ugh, our head hurts.
Here, a look at some of the biggest fan theories, ranked from crazy AF to actually, totally plausible. Fasten your fur-lined capes—it's gonna be a wild ride.
Westeros Has Mermaids—er, Mermen—and Varys Is One of Them
There are a lot of theories out there, but this has to be by far the craziest. According to a Reddit user, a merling is a real thing (which it is, in Westeros) but we don't know anything about them. Little Finger has a ship named "The Merling King" and also implies that he has Varys under his control. The user also points out that people assume Varys is a fat man with robes that cover till the bottom of his feet—could he be hiding a tail you guys?! Is Little Finger keeping Varys' secret in return for his help?! IS ANYTHING REAL?
WTF factor: straight-up crazy
Hodor Says Only "Hodor" for a Reason
In one of the most upvoted theories on Hodor (thanks, Reddit users), a (now deleted) post chronicles some facts about Hodor in such a breezy way that it's hard to argue there isn't *something* to this—though exactly what it means is definitely up in the air. Basically, in the first book you learn that Hodor's actual name is Walder and he is the grandson of Old Nan (the nurse for the Stark kids). No one knows why he says Hodor. Later in the books, Melisandre—AKA the crazy red priestess lady—tells Stannis that the enemy of her god R'hllor, The Lord of Light, is the Great Other. (We don't know if this is that god's name, or if, like Voldemort, it's just a nickname you use to not say his actual name.) Melisandre tells Stannis that the name of the Great Other must never be spoken. And while R'hllor is usually associated with fire, light, and heat, the Great Other is associated with darkness and cold. In Norse Mythology, the god of winter is named Höðr.
What does this mean? Everyone has a theory about *this* theory—that Hodor might actually be the Great Other. Or that Hodor was traumatized in his childhood by something connected to the Great Other, and it's the only thing he can say. Or that he keeps saying it as a warning to everyone else. Who knows. Hodor.
WTF factor: highly debatable
Theon Murdered His Own Son
Theon, in a weird/warped protective stance (or to save his own skin), murders two brothers to pass their bodies off as Bran and Rickon Stark in season two. In A Dance With Dragons, Theon thinks about how he slept with their mother before: "Theon did not want to think about their mother. He had known the miller's wife for years, had even bedded her. Big heavy breasts with wide dark nipples, a sweet mouth, a merry laugh." Seeing as Theon would have only been 12 when the first son was born, many think that the younger of the two was Theon's kid—making him a kinslayer. Fans think this explains his terrible bad luck since taking Winterfell, as we all know how the gods feel about slaying one of your own. (If you don't—not good. Not good at all.)
WTF factor: plausible
Jaime Will Kill Cersei
In season five, Cersei has a flashback where she visits Maggy, a witch, and gets her fortune told. With her last question, she learns that after her tears have "drowned" her, "the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." Valonqar means "little brother" in High Valyrian, and Cersei immediately assumes this means her littlest brother Tyrion. But, even though she and Jaime are twins, Jaime was technically born after her–making him younger. And let's be real—getting offed by your brother whom you used to get off and then dismissed/rejected would be very Game of Thrones-y.
WTF factor: ooh okay, I can see this...
Sandor Clegane Is Alive and Will Fight His Brother (Who May or May Not Be Dead)
A pretty popular theory is that Sandor Clegane—AKA the Hound—is not dead even though we say Arya leave him after Brienne had kicked him off a cliff. Instead, he becomes a gravedigger—something that we get to hear more of in the book, as Brienne eventually comes across a huge man digging graves for a monastery, wearing a hood with injuries that would correspond to the Hound's. His brother, Gregor—AKA the Mountain–was definitely dead, but now seems to have turned into some sort of zombie/Frankenstein experiment thanks to Cersei's go-to/former maester Qyburn. The idea is that the the Hound will finally seek revenge on his abusive brother in a showdown named by fans as the "Cleganebowl." Okay then.
WTF factor: not *totally* crazy
Tyrion Isn't a Lannister—He's a Targaryen
In other Lannister theories (and one that definitely gives more credo to no. 5), Tyrion is not a Lannister, he's a Targaryen. Some fans have surmised that Tyrion is actually the son of Mad King Aerys Targaryen and Joanna Lannister. In A Dance With Dragons, Ser Barristan Selmy tells Daenerys that the Mad King was head over heels for Joanna, and that they had something between them (possibly even after Joanna and Tywin were married).
Prince Aerys ... as a youth, he was taken with [Joanna]. When she and Tywin wed, your father drank too much wine at the wedding feast and was heard to say that it was a great pity that the lord's right to the first night had been abolished. A drunken jape, no more, but Tywin Lannister was not a man to forget such words, or the...liberties your father took during the bedding.
But while that argument is compelling, some take this to mean that Mad King Aerys is actually the father of Cersei and Jaime—as they were born first and it would be pretty Game of Thrones in spirit if Tywin–who loved his twins but hated Tyrion–actually had only one legitimate heir: the one he hated.
WTF factor: tell me more...
Jon Snow Is a Twin—And We've Met His Sister
Okay, so this hinges on theory #1 being true, so we'll just explain both real fast. Basically, Jon Snow is a Targaryen—the son of Lyanna Stark (Ned's sister) and Rhaegar Targaryen. The theory states that when Ned arrives at the Tower of Joy during Robert's Rebellion, he finds his sister in a "bed of blood," (childbirth?!) and that she dies shortly afterward, asking her brother: "Promise me, Ned."
To get to Lyanna, six men entered but only two survived—Ned Stark and Howland Reed. Though we've never met Howland, Jojen and Meera Reed both turn up later in the series to help Bran Stark on his mission to find the three-eyed raven. In the books, Meera and Jon Snow both have the same birth dates (the same year Lyanna died), similar looks (dark hair/slim), and c'mon–we all like a plot twist.
WTF factor: none
Jon Snow Isn't a Bastard at All—He's a Targaryen
As we've (sort of) gone over in not much detail, the biggest fan theory is that Jon Snow is not a bastard—he's the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. There is so much evidence for this, that it seems a little hard to argue. But one of the most convincing is that early on, Arya and Jon are said to look so much alike that Sansa jokes Arya is a bastard like Jon. Arya is then said to resemble Ned's sister, Lyanna. DO YOU SEE NOW?
WTF factor: you're crazy if you *don't* believe this

Australians win Young Lions Media Competition
24 June 2009 min read
The Australian team selected to represent the country in the Young Lions Media Competition for creative talent at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, have won the prestigious award.
Lauren Cassar and Tristan Burrell from Universal McCann beat out teams from Belarus and the US, who came second and third respectively.
This year’s brief, disclosed to competitors on 2 June, was set by UN organisation, the World Food Programme. The brief to the 24 competing teams focused on increasing the number of children the WFP feeds in school from 22 million to 59 million.
The teams, whose entrants were required to be under 30 years of age, had 24 hours to interpret the brief and develop a media campaign.
“We cannot believe we won! We want to create a movement that can abolish the penny and we hope our campaign can help achieve this,” said Cassar and Burrell.
The Young Lions Competition is designed to catapult the careers of rising stars that are set to redefine the future use of images in advertising.
“We looked for an entry that demonstrated something different, fresh and that would create a movement,” explained competition judge Monica Gadsby, chief executive officer of SMG Multicultural Chicago.

Criminalizing Conversion “Therapy”: Good Intention, Bad Idea
by Dr. Marty Klein on October 4, 2012 ·Sex Therapist's Couch, Sexual Intelligence Blog
California just became the first state to ban conversion “therapy” for minors. That’s “therapy” which attempts to “cure” people of homosexuality, same-gender desire, or gender non-conformity, “converting” them to heterosexuality and “normal” gender behavior.
My regular readers know that I have been a licensed psychotherapist for 32 years—about 35,000 sessions with men, women, teens, and couples of all kinds. And I mean ALL kinds.
I am totally AGAINST reparative or conversion “therapy.” Under all circumstances, period. It doesn’t work, and it’s bad for people.
But I am pretty queasy about this new California law banning conversion “therapy” for minors, or the suggestion that adults have to be notified about the lack of evidence supporting conversion “therapy” before they do it.
Every single day, the best therapists—including me—use conventional, accepted therapeutic modalities that have no evidence supporting their efficacy. And every excellent therapist has occasionally done a terrific, thoughtful job with a patient, only to watch in dismay as one or another intervention has had terrible, unexpected results.
Then there are the less-than-excellent therapists who do therapy with modalities and interventions that are perfectly legal—and theoretically bankrupt or morally corrupt.
In virtually none of these situations does the State intervene and say “that kind of therapy is illegal with minors, or can only be done if you tell patients there’s no efficacy data behind it.” Why privilege the obviously egregious modality of conversion “therapy”? Why provide protection for one part of the patient population, but not the rest? Why challenge the problematic work of a small sliver of professionals, but not the rest?
And finally, do we really want the State intervening in these admittedly troubling and even damaging situations? In most of the country, we’re already fighting a losing battle to keep State legislators out of the patient-doctor conversation when it comes to abortion.
Therapists deal with pretty serious situations in addition to issues regarding sexual orientation. To pick just a few, we deal with teens who are suicidal, adults recovering from rape, and parents grieving their dead children. California has no special guidelines for our interventions in these cases, other than the standard Code of Ethics.
Again, see my first sentence: I’m totally against reparative or conversion “therapy.” I just question California’s dramatic, single-minded intrusion into a therapy profession which lacks efficacy data for virtually anything we do.
You want to protect children? Start by requiring every therapist to learn about healthy childhood sexuality—totally missing in most training programs. Then require that every single social service, police, or legal interview with a kid discussing possible molestation be videotaped, and make the tapes available to all parties in any litigation.
You want to protect people with non-conforming sexuality? Require all therapists to learn about alternative sexualities. And challenge the use of training materials claiming that people like S/M because they’ve been abused, or claiming that people’s domination-oriented sexual fantasies change and become “healthier” when their past sexual trauma is resolved.
Many other therapy practices far more common than conversion “therapy” lack any efficacy data whatsoever, including:
* Molestation: Describing patients’ early experiences as sexual molestation, contrary to the patients’ own interpretations, is common. Patients and their families continue to be destroyed by therapists applying extraordinarily broad definitions of “molest” to common, non-hurtful family situations.
* “Sex addiction”: Features discomfort with healthy masturbation, antagonism to most kinds of sexual expression outside of traditional heterosexual monogamy, and a screening tool that judges nearly every American a sex addict. The program typically pays little attention to differential diagnosis, unwittingly accepting those struggling with bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and sociopathic personality disorder.
* Infidelity & affairs: Many approaches rigidly valorize monogamy; encourage punishment for the betrayer; and support the betrayed partner’s desire for the betrayer’s email passwords, cell phone records, and detailed descriptions of exactly what the betrayer did hour-by-hour—destroying the dignity of both partners and preventing the rebuilding of trust.
* Therapy focused on prayer, visualization, energy work, reiki, crystals, chanting, etc.. If your patient buys it, you can do it. If you’re licensed, you can call it psychotherapy.
The California law’s meta-message—”there’s nothing wrong with your kid having whatever sexual orientation s/he has”—is valuable. But State interference with one kind of (rather uncommon) irresponsible therapy—without touching other, more common forms of undocumented therapy—is a rather heavy-handed way of reshaping social norms.
The American Psychological Association, among others, has deemed conversion “therapy” quackery. That’s good news for everyone. By singling out and challenging this modality, California’s legislature is implying that most conventional therapy is both documented effective and safe. Unfortunately, that’s just not true.

Milwaukee Sightseeing City Tour with the MKE Pass
September 02, 2017 / Theresa Nemetz
If you’re looking to get the most immersive sight-seeing experience this side of Lake Michigan, add a MKEPASS to your Hop On Hop Off Sightseeing Bus. For only $50, the MKEPASS is the most convenient way to access Milwaukee’s premier tourist attractions. You can stop spending your vacation time trying to plan point a to point b and instead enjoy the ride. There are plenty of things to do in Milwaukee, but only one pass will afford you access to the following destinations as part of an inclusive city tour that is customizable to your own personal preferences. Sit back, relax, and treat yourself to a day of sightseeing, dining, and exploring with the help of the MKE Pass.
Imagine this:
You and your friends are standing in front of the Lakefront Brewery. You’ve just finished a pint and you’re waiting for your Hop-on bus to arrive. Our signature green bus pulls up to the sidewalk and opens its doors for you to board. You take a seat near a window and glance outside to see a gorgeous view of Schlitz Park, Pabst Brewery and Old World 3rd Street on the way to your next stop of Urban Harvest, Lost Valley Cider, and Milwaukee Brewing Company. There’s a great selection of craft beer in Walker's Point, so you make a mental note to come back later for a few more drinks of some local brew. You’re already starting to get a feel for this unique, vibrant city, and you know it’s only the beginning of day packed with new tastes, experiences, and adventures.
Choose 2 of the following with your MKE Pass:
Milwaukee Art Museum
The Milwaukee Art Museum houses four floors of over forty galleries of regularly rotated artwork varieties. Some of the most notable artists featured include Nardo di Cione, Francisco de Zurbarán, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Winslow Homer, Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Jóan Miro, Mark Rothko, Robert Gober, and Andy Warhol. It’s important to note, the art inside the museum isn’t the only work worth experiencing. Stroll the Cudahy Gardens surrounding the main museum buildings, explore the gigantic Quadracci Pavillion, and give reverence to the War Memorial Center as you tour the property.
Harley-Davidson Museum – includes Audio Tour!
Get up close and personal with the history surrounding the rise of the great motorcycle empire, Harley-Davidson. The galleries inside the museum are completely interactive, so sitting atop the display motorcycles is encouraged. If you’re looking for insider access, visit the engine room. Set against a wall of orange, the engines on display illustrate the evolution of the Harley-Davidson engine from its earliest to its latest incarnation. With the MKE Pass, every participant will take an audio tour through the museum while being guided by the great legends who made Harley-Davidson great.
This 120,000-square foot science and technology center is full of exhibits that are fun no matter your age. Explore the human biome inside the Zoo in You exhibit, or take a walk inside a virtual world in the center’s brand new virtual reality center. Whatever you choose, you’re sure to experience something new and magical at Discovery World, and you’ll definitely leave with some new science know-how to brag about back home.
Milwaukee Public Museum – includes Planetarium!
The Milwaukee Public Museum excites the senses and curiosities of its visitors, and you’re sure to be no exception. The museum covers three and a half floors of exhibit area, with additional space for traveling and temporary exhibits. Tour the museum's 150,000-square feet of exhibit space to visit continents and habitats. Take a small step back in time to the turn-of-the-century Streets of Old Milwaukee, European Village, and to ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Choose to be delighted by galaxies and constellations with the MKE Pass, which includes admission into the museum planetarium.
Hop off at the Milwaukee Art Museum to visit the stunning Calatrava entrance.
The Grohmann Museum exists to showcase the evolution of human work through art. Inside its glass doors and giant winding staircase, participants will experience over 1,000 different paintings in various styles that illustrate different forms of human work; whether in the home, on the farm, or inside a factory. The museum itself stands as a representation of human excellence and drive, and evokes a sense of wonder at the human condition and at man’s way of maintaining a sense of purpose with personal achievement.
Milwaukee County Historical Society
Located in a historic bank building along the Milwaukee River in downtown Milwaukee, the Milwaukee County Historical Society houses the museum, research library, offices, some collections storage and events. Participants who choose to explore the building will have access to the historical center and research library, the perfect spot to explore some Milwaukee history on your own or to take in the ambiance of that decadent old book smell while ruminate at one of the tables around the room.
Beer pint of choice at Lakefront Brewery (Tier 1)
Lakefront Brewery came about when two competitive hobbyist brewers joined forces to create what is now a fortress of alcoholic delights, and visitors to the brewery always leave with a deeper understanding of its history and a tummy full of delightfully organic craft beer.
Cocktail of choice at Great Lakes Distillery
(Excludes Special Spirit Release Cocktails)
Great Lakes Distillery has a great bar showcasing their spirits, and a seasonal menu to match the tastes of any spirit connoisseur. The staff is friendly and open, so whether you’re just beginning to enjoy craft cocktails or you’re a cocktail maven, this place is for you.

Lighting Upgrade to Scott Monument, Edinburgh
As a result of our place on The City of Edinburgh Council Mechanical & Electrical Frameworks we were awarded the contract for the lighting upgrade to the Scott Monument in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh.
The Scott Monument is a Victorian monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott built from Binny sandstone. It was completed in 1844 having taken four years to build.
It is the largest monument to a writer in the world, standing at 200 feet high and has a series of viewing platforms reached by narrow spiral staircases giving panoramic views of central Edinburgh and its surroundings. The highest platform is reached by a total of 287 steps. This listed building is located in a very busy area and is one of the main tourist attractions in Edinburgh.
The existing light fittings were approximately 25 years old and only a few still functioned. They included 45 No 150W tungsten Halogen luminaires on the monument and 4 No 250W tungsten Halogen luminaires at its base.
Kevan Shaw Lighting Design designed the new light display in line with the brief from The City of Edinburgh Council to create a new lighting scheme for the Scott Monument that would re-establish its significance in the city skyline, reflect the gothic quality of the structure highlighting the important features and fitting with the aspirations and objectives of the Council’s sustainable lighting strategy.
Initially the client hoped to reuse the existing cables however after carrying out a thorough electrical periodic inspection we identified some cables needed replacing as the existing cables were corroded beyond repair.
The existing lighting was replaced with 35 No white LED luminaires on the monument and 16 at its base. LED luminaires only consume approximately 20% of the electricity of the Tungsten Halogen equivalent and the LED lamp will last 1000’s of hours longer making it an environmentally and economically better value option for the client.
The lights are controlled by an astronomical time clock so the scheduled on and off times will change to match the varying day light hours throughout the year. Override switches were also installed in order to functionally test the lights during the day.
We liaised very closely with the client and design team due to the delicate nature of the works. Great care had to be taken to ensure there was no damage to the monument during the installation process.
We employed a specialist rope access sub-contractor, Pendrich Height Services, to carry out works in areas that could only be accessed from a rope. During their pre-works inspection Pendrich carried out a thorough visual inspection of the monument in order to establish its structural integrity and ensure our works would not compromise this. They found numerous loose pieces of stone and loose handrails and were instructed to carry out the necessary repair works accordingly. The stone repair works impacted on our programme extending it from four to five weeks.
Scaffolds, fixed walk ways and safety nets were installed to give our electricians access to the areas required. Land & Building Services carried out the ground works which were required to install the low level lighting bollards and cable ducting.
The new lighting was switched on, on Tuesday 20 September 2016 (the anniversary of Walter Scott’s death). The new lighting has greatly enhanced the look of the monument and feedback from the general public has been overwhelmingly positive. We are very proud to have been involved in such an iconic project.
