World Film Festival Kelowna is a local committee made up of film loving social activists who wish to share the wonderful Travelling World Film Festival along with additional documentary selections to our local Okanagan Community. We love our festival with its focus on social and environmental subjects which strive to show a better way is indeed possible and that change needs to happen ( and is happening already) and soon! Thanks in part to great institutional support of Okanagan College and its Communications Dept and UBCO and its Cultural Studies Dept we are able to share the festival with a non cost admission policy and donations collected are shared with Inn from the Cold and the Ki low Na Friendship Society. We just celebrated our 10th year of bringing this festival to Kelowna. Documentary films are a very valid way to educate and share information about issues.

Our goal is to provide independent Canadian filmmakers with a platform to reach audiences directly. We hope to assist independent Canadian media artists in showing Canada – and the world – what we’re capable of. Part of our mission is to use past projects to support the present ones being released.
The site endeavours to be inclusive rather than exclusive to Canadians by providing additional online space to all genres and formats of Canadian moving pictures, and by supporting organizations from all corners of the country. Cinema Canadiana aims to help give a voice to the independent filmmakers of our nation by providing free online space for user-driven content, thus allowing for a diversity of voices to emerge.
Beyond being a crowdsourced site with a user-driven experience that promotes Canadian content, Cinema Canadiana’s design philosophy is two-fold. First, to utilize our website to drive users to other areas of the Internet that highlight the content created around these projects (official sites, places to see the work, reviews, interviews, etc.). Secondly, we will provide a forum to encourage dialogue in order to advance the knowledge and exchange of ideas, thus improving the capacity to appreciate the works.

Air Miles Canada says it won’t reimburse collectors who spent their points in anticipation of an expiration policy that will no longer take effect at the end of the year.
The company that runs the Air Miles loyalty points program, LoyaltyOne, announced Thursday it was cancelling plans that would have seen collectors lose miles older than five years.
While some celebrated the news, others — who had scrambled to redeem their miles ahead of the expiry — were angered by the about face.
Air Miles Canada’s Twitter account told two customers the company would not be reimbursing collectors who spent their points to avoid having them expire.
The account sent tweets saying the company would not accept returns, cancellations or exchanges due to the cancellation of the expiry policy, once booked.
What does it take to get a start-up going? Well, nothing much; just a great idea, a few devoted professionals and, of course, funds. Helical IT Solutions seems to have them all. A company that started its operations in November 2012, it has already earned funds from an international investor and is poised to grow in a domain where growth is almost guaranteed-open source technology.
Helical IT Solutions Pvt Ltd deals with Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (DWBI). The founders of the company, Nikhilesh Tiwari and Nitin Sahu, chose the open source way because they are sure that if there is any domain in which growth is guaranteed, it is in open source technology. The range of services provided by the company include data warehousing, data visualisation, BI, ETL (extract, transfer and load), mobile and self-services BI, geographical charting, etc.
The two bank on open source not because it is a trend, but because they have learnt and understood the pros and cons of it over the years. Their tryst with open source began in their previous jobs, which they left to start their venture. Tiwari says, “In our previous companies we were working on open source BI technologies. According to the latest report by Gartner, the Indian BI sector is growing at 16 per cent and is expected to touch US$ 113 million in 2013 and US$ 172 million by 2016. Not only in India but worldwide, BI is one sector that is growing the fastest in the IT sector.
“So we thought of moving to the next level with our company. With the recession and sluggish economies, more and more companies are trying to adopt open source technologies because of the low cost of ownership. Seeing this kind of market growth and the higher adoption of OSBI technologies, we thought of monetising this trend. This led to our searching for clients, and even before starting our company full time, we had three paying clients with us,” Tiwari adds.
Since the team was already working on different BI tools, it could easily offer consultancy to its clients regarding what would be the best tool to adopt, whether or not they ought to purchase the enterprise edition of that BI tool, etc. Hence, not only was Helical developing the client’s solution, it was also acting as a consultancy.
Having begun the journey with open source technology, both Tiwari and Sahu want to continue down that path in the future as well. Tiwari explains that the biggest benefit open source technology brings is that without any compromise on the quality, the cost of ownership is the lowest. Hence, for SMEs and start-ups that have cost constraints, but do not want to compromise on the quality, open source technology is the best choice. He asserts, “With sluggish economies in the US and EU, we are now also approaching medium-sized companies, since they want to reduce their expenses and overheads. OSBI technologies often turn out to be 70-90 per cent more cost effective as compared to their proprietary competitors like SAP, SAS, IBM Cognos, etc.” The company currently has a team of eight people and will continue to hire to meet the requirements that come with its growth.

I had another debate with my friend again regarding the cost of living in Singapore. Naturally, we referred to the article below, titled "Inflation could hit 5% early next year, then taper off", and argued about the notion of "spending less = lower cost of living = lower standard of living?".
Mr Lim, Singapore’s Minister for Trade and Industry, commented that by spending on alternative, cheaper goods, we can effectively lower the cost of living. However, some people seem to interpret that as lowering the standard of living.
Instead of saying that “switching to cheaper products can reduce the cost of living”, Minister Lim would have been more accurate to say, “switching to cheaper products can lower the standard of living”. For example, instead of living in a 5-room HDB flat, you can live in a 1-room HDB flat (a cheaper product). Instead of having chicken rice and vegetables for lunch, you can just eat plain porridge (a cheaper product).
Living in a 1-room HDB flat and eating plain porridge constitutes a lower standard of living. So yes, by switching to cheaper products, you can lower your standard of living. And a lower standard of living does cost less to maintain.
My friend shared the perception that, by spending on (possibly) lower quality (and hence cheaper) goods, there will be less demand for the costlier goods. Given such a scenario, it is possible for the costlier goods to cost cheaper since the demand is now lowered. After all, economics is all about demand and supply – and hence Mr Lim’s advice is not entirely wrong.
He also added that, it is not possible for everyone to stop spending – so people should spend less – perhaps on cheaper products, but not entirely stop spending because the entire economy will collapse. Thus to prevent either extremes from happening – (i) goods getting costlier (ii) economy collapsing, Singaporeans have to start spending moderately so that both goals become achievable.
From the point of economics, I have to agree with his points. However, the entity that we are talking about are humans, and not robots, and so a greater amount of PR has to be injected while getting people to face reality.
Mr Lim had been infamous for his statements when he was the health minister, which includes asking the women to "save on one hairdo and use the money for breast screening", his regret in intervening to admit a premature baby to KKH to save the baby’s life because "…in the end, the baby continued to be in intensive care, and KKH now runs up a total bill of more than $300,000…", and his call to raise hospital rates to hotel rates because "if these patients (hospital overstayers) want to treat hospitals like a hotel, then they’ll have to be charged hotel rates.", of whom mostly are likely to be older than 60, with no income, or are from families with incomes below $1000.
AS CONSUMER prices continue to rise, inflation in Singapore will likely surge to 4 or 5 per cent in the first quarter of next year.
But it should taper off by the second half of the year to ‘more normal conditions’, said Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang yesterday.
The average rate for next year should be around 3 per cent.
Fuelled mainly by rising global oil and food prices, inflation recorded a 13-year high of 2.9 per cent in August. It is expected to dip to 2.7 per cent in the last quarter, Mr Lim told Parliament.
But it was his 2008 forecast that made analysts and consumers sit up yesterday.
Citigroup economist Chua Hak Bin said that the 5 per cent rate predicted would be a ‘historic high’ in the 25 years since 1983. The previous high was in July 1991, when it hit 4 per cent.
Most economies, including Singapore’s, size up inflation by tracking the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. The CPI measures the cost of a basket of goods and services consumed by most households.
Yesterday, Mr Lim cautioned against ‘interpreting a rise in the headline CPI as necessarily reflecting an increase in the cost of living’.
It depends on the individual household’s spending. ‘Switching to cheaper products can reduce the cost of living despite a rise in the CPI,’ he added.
A CPI increase may also not reflect actual hikes in consumer prices. For instance, flat prices soared, but flat owners do not pay rent.
Higher inflation, he said, should also be viewed against rapid economic growth, with the gross domestic product rising more than 6 per cent on average since 2003 and wages also on the up.
However, MPs such as Madam Halimah Yacob worry that residents, especially the elderly on fixed incomes, are feeling the pinch. ‘They go to the market with a similar sum of money. But they can buy less,’ she said.
He sketched out how the landscape will look like next year.
Explaining why there will be a spike in inflation before it plateaus, he cited two reasons: First, it is as compared to the first quarter of this year, when inflation was at 0.5 per cent and oil prices were low.
Second, the ‘one-off’ effect of the goods and services tax hike, which will be felt until next June.
Thereafter, the trend will ‘revert to more normal conditions in the second half of next year’.
The numbers come against a global backdrop of rising oil and food prices, such as more expensive chicken due to costlier feed. Adverse weather in food-supplying countries has also reduced supply, even as demand has risen.
Diversifying sources is one way to maintain more stable food prices, Mr Lim said, but there was a limit to this given the worldwide increase in food prices being seen now.
But inflation has not affected Singapore’s economic competitiveness, he said.
‘We are tracking our competitiveness position very closely and so far we are in quite a good position,’ he said, adding that inflation here was lower than in other countries.
He noted that imported inflation has been reduced because of the policy of gradually appreciating the Singapore dollar.
Other watchers suggest more aggressive measures. Citigroup’s Dr Chua, for instance, believes that the economy is in danger of overheating.
He called on the Government to re-prioritise projects, given that unemployment is already at a low.
Previous: Plans for today (like who will bother).. haha..
There are 365 days in the year and 52 Sundays.
That leaves 313 days left in the year. What will you do with them?
Being a follower of Jesus is not a once a week thing… or perhaps twice a week if you’re super religious. God is not up there taking church attendance in Heaven as a basis for salvation or love or approval. He is looking at your heart.
God is doing wonders in the earth today – miracles and healings of every kind… I am blessed to be a small part of what He is doing. But it doesn’t come by religion, it comes by relationship with the Living God. It comes by intimacy with Jesus.
30″And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 32And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.
I pray that things written here will give you a hunger for more and will stir up an unquenchable passion for Jesus in your heart.
Seaton Parkrun Review 11/08/18 – Too many pebbles!
Another parkrun ticked off on the list, and probably not one many people have heard of.
This week I’m on holiday in Lyme Regis, so we checked out the closest parkrun and luckily Seaton parkrun was only ten minutes in the car.
Anyway, the course, which was on the seafront ala Hastings, started on the pebble beach. For the first time in a while I tried a sprint start. Running over pebbles isn’t easy, I’ll tell you that much, and it wasn’t going to be the last I saw of them either.
As I got onto the concrete path this shorter guy flew past me. Looking at the results from last week, the winner got a time of 16:32, so I thought it could’ve been him.
There was a turning at Yacht Club at about 1.5k where we had to run on pebbles for another 100 metres, we did the loop twice so it probably knocked a bit off my time.
I liked the fact that we ran up and down the seafront four times, it allowed you to break up the race in smaller chunks rather than one long path.
I dropped my pace towards the middle but managed to pick it up again for the finishing kilometre.
I’m not sure why but I always seem to speed up after a turning, luckily for me there were a lot of them on the course, as well as volunteers who were great as usual.
In terms of my time, it’s an improvement on last week which is what I was expecting now I’m starting to train regularly again. All there is to do now is find some long run routes for the mornings here in Dorest and I’ll be pretty much sorted.
In other news, apparently my aunt saw Robbie Williams walking down by the beach earlier; a man who’s met Lawrence McKenna. What a claim to fame!

This article appeared in the September, 23, 2011 edition of the Davis Enterprise.
Explorit Science Center welcomes you back to its Mace Ranch Park facility for the opening of its new Forces of Nature exhibit. The exhibit opens Saturday, October 1 at 1:00pm at 3141 5th Street in Davis.
Explorit Science Center has been housed in Mace Ranch Park since 1992, but the facility itself has a much longer history. A historic home owned by the Mace Ranch Investors, the Mace Ranch House was first built in 1951 on the site of a hundred-year-old farm and cattle ranch.
The land known as Mace Ranch Park entered into written history in the mid-nineteenth century as part of a Mexican land grant. In 1850 Col. Joseph Ballinger Chiles purchased the Mace Ranch Park portion of the grant.
Chiles planted grain, raised horses and cattle and erected a two-story family home near where the Mace Ranch House stands today. That home stood until the 1950s when the current house was built.
As the Chiles family grew, the ranch was divided and diversified. Grain and horses gave way to sheep farming, and later alfalfa and sugar beets.
When the C. Bruce Mace family purchased a portion of the original Chiles ranch land, they farmed it with tomatoes, wheat and alfalfa. They built and lived in the Mace Ranch House until 1985.
