Directors who sit on multiple boards are increasingly being blamed for poor performance; however, their diverse skills and experience can bring real value to a business.
The corporate world is clamping down on busy directors. In recent years, shareholder activists and advisers have increasingly been speaking out against those who hold seats on multiple boards and in some cases have refused to re-elect them.
Critics claim that directors who take on too many roles risk spreading themselves too thinly, are less likely to attend meetings or challenge management and may struggle to find time to deal with a crisis. Some studies have even linked busy directors with poor value outcomes although there is mixed evidence on this issue.
As the backlash continues against ‘overboarding’, the number of board roles held by US directors has fallen significantly in recent years. Despite a small increase in the number of ASX 200 board members holding multiple directorships, gone are the days when it was common to have six or more – the vast majority now have just two or three.
But are busy directors always a bad thing and if so, should companies restrict the number of roles their non-executives can hold? Professor Anne Wyatt, a corporate governance expert at UQ Business School, warns against over-reliance on research carried out in other markets, in particular the US where the average company is larger and the CEO who is running the business and the Chair who is responsible for oversight of operations and governance are commonly the same person.
She believes there can be strong advantages to having directors who hold multiple roles. Being a ‘professional director’ allows them to build their experience and contacts and gives them a broader perspective. They learn to work more closely with other directors, develop greater self-awareness and become more effective at governance. Because they have less time, they are also less likely to be inadvertently drawn into executive management duties, which would be at odds with their monitoring and advisory responsibilities.
“A busy director is a networked director, with industry and business experience relevant to the companies which they advise and monitor,” Professor Wyatt adds, “the diversity of experience can help directors see emerging trends within and even across industries. The busy director has more opportunities to see strategy in action and learn about the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to growing the business, along with the potential pitfalls. A busy director also understands the importance of knowing what is going on in the company and will recognise when there are information deficits, and have learned how to access this information.
Indeed, the problems that have occurred in companies with busy directors have often stemmed from a single event or crisis. A crisis can create huge demands on directors’ time – instead of the usual eight board meetings a year, they may attend as many as 50 in a short period of time and find themselves working round the clock to steady the ship.
However, Professor Wyatt says there could be other ways to resolve this problem – for example establishing a crisis board committee recruited for their experience in crisis management and the ability to down tools and be available when the need arises.
Her own research with colleagues conducted in the Australian market shows that small and large firms often have dramatically different board structures, reflecting their different monitoring and advisory needs. It finds that while busy directors can be beneficial to big companies, what is important for smaller companies is not whether or not directors are busy but their industry relevant skills. Smaller companies have greater demand for technical skills on the board to drive growth and therefore tend to benefit more from ‘hands on’ directors who spend time advising the business.
“While it is generally accepted that independent directors bring advisory and monitoring expertise including the important task of overseeing the CEO’s actions, the benefits a company derives from the different skills depends on its stage of development. Recruiters could consider the company’s stage of development when drawing up the skills matrix for the board,” says Professor Wyatt.
She believes that potentially a bigger issue is the skills and culture brought to the board by the Chair. “The Chair has an extremely important role to play in managing all aspects of the board including the performance of directors and executives,” says Professor Wyatt. “A good Chair knows when a director is overstretched and unable to maintain their contribution to the board, and the goodwill and chutzpah to negotiate a solution that is acceptable to all parties. Independent directors with multiple roles can be a real asset - and the Chair is the safety valve when they are no longer adding value.

The Northwest News Network reported Thursday that Purcell, a Democrat, said that while he’s laying the groundwork for a campaign, he won’t run if incumbent Democratic Attorney General Bob Ferguson — his boss — decides to run for a third term.
Ferguson is expected to be a candidate for governor next year, presuming incumbent Gov. Jay Inslee doesn’t seek re-election. Inslee, who’s currently running for president, hasn’t ruled out a run for a third term.
Purcell, 39, has served as solicitor general since 2013 and is best known for his role in successfully suing to stop President Donald Trump’s first travel ban on Muslim countries in 2017. Since then, Purcell and Ferguson have prevailed in more than a dozen lawsuits against the Trump administration.

A pet is another member of the family, so why exclude them from a family camping trip? An increasing number of campsites now cater to campers with pets, but which one is nearest you?
Keep reading for our list for Northern NSW.
It is estimated that one in three families own a pet. The type might vary dramatically - from dogs to cats to chatty parrots - but whichever they may be, owners tend to have a passionate affection for their pets, and consider them part of the family.
So, it's only to be expected that when they go camping, they don't want to leave their furry friend at home.
Make sure you pack a portable pet bed so they have somewhere to rest. And don't forget when you think about spending your quality time outdoors, it is best to use a gazebo that will guarantee you a perfect shelter.
Traditionally, camping sites didn't permit families to bring their pets, but times have changed.
Now, a growing number are catering to campers with family pets, providing safe, open spaces for them to play, roam or chirp in.
But which sites are the best to go to? For campers heading to Northern NSW, here's a shortlist of pet-friendly camping spots that are definitely worth checking out.
Photo from: Broadwater Stopover Tourist Park.
"The Best Value for Your Money"
Broadwater is a pet-friendly park situated in one of Australia's most beautiful areas.
Experience the serenity of never-ending lush green grass for as little as $19 per night. The park has been consistently voted the best value for money. And has earned an enviable reputation for having the most approachable and accommodating staff.
It's located next to a koala sanctuary. Animals have always been cared for in the area so extending warm hospitality to your family pet is only natural.
Broadwater is also near a variety of popular tourist sites, so there are plenty of activities on offer for the whole family.

Located on Goodwood Island, on the Clarence River, near the town of Yamba, Brown's Rock Caravan Park lies within a stone's throw of some of the best fishing spots on the river.
It offers an almost complete escape from the stresses of civilization, with the highway 8 kilometres away and cane fields surrounding the park itself.
So, while at it, you're free to put your two feet up (and your pet all 4) and forget about the world and its problems.
Visit the Brown's Rock Caravan Park Official site here.
"The Ideal Place to Go"
Maca's Camping Ground is located close to Mt. Jerusalem National Park, just off the Main Arm Road, northwest of Mullumbimby.
It offers both powered and unpowered sites and can accommodate caravans, motorhomes, and tents.
The ground is ideal for campers with dogs, with guests free to rest in the peaceful environs of the park itself or to immerse themselves in nature on a long walk into the 300-acre park.
Other facilities include showers, kitchens, and laundry areas, while cabins and tents are available for hire.
Visit Maca's Camping Ground Official site here.
"Scenic Views on a Family Getaway"
Ferry Reserve Holiday Park boasts a dramatic setting on the south shore of the Brunswick River, with the stunning Mt. Warning providing a striking backdrop.
The park is located on the site where the first ferry crossing of the river took place. It is the only park in the area to offer direct access to the river. Therefore, excellent boating, swimming, kayaking, and snorkelling facilities are on offer.
There are also walking/cycling pathways direct to the town of Brunswick Head. The park is dog-friendly only during the off-peak season - not during peak season.
"A haven in the woods"
The Woombah Woods Caravan Park is located just north of the Clarence River, on the verges of Mororo State Forest.
Their facilities include shady campsites and cabins. But they also offer one bedroom air-conditioned cottages complete with a fenced verandah, making it ideal for a keeping a pet.
The park also boasts swimming pools, a BBQ area, and a petting zoo for kids - all for as little as $48.50 per night.
Visit Woombah Woods Caravan Park Official site here.
Photo from: Mt Warning Rainforest Park.
The Mt. Warning Rainforest Park is located right between two of the most famous tourist spots in Northern NSW - Mt. Warning and the Gold Coast. And it's a favourite escape into the wilderness for thousands of families every year.
As a pet-friendly camping spot, you and your family pet can roam through the lush rainforest, or make an early-morning trek to the top of Mt. Warning in time to see the magnificent sunrise.
Indeed it is a perfect place to leave the stresses of city life behind. Its rates start at just $20 per night.
Visit Mt. Warning Rainforest Park Official site here.
Coachwood camping area is a cute little spot tucked in the magnificent Barrington Tops National Park. It is located in the Chichester State Forest and it is about 3.5 hours from Sydney.
Expect to enjoy river-based activities at this spot and of course some vast playground for your furry little friend.
The best news is this camping spot is free, so expect to be attended on a first come first serve basis.
they provide bins, firepits, and long-drop toilets. But you'll have to carry your own water.
Otherwise, it is a fun place to head over to this weekend, accessible with a 2WD vehicle but take extra caution when it is wet or your car is low.
Undoubtedly, camping under the lush green grass with native desert oaks hovering over your head high in the sky sounds like so much fun!
But the great outdoors doesn't end there. You will get to enjoy swimming at the pool, a vast playground for your loved ones (including furry mate) to enjoy. BBQ, an outdoor kitchen and self-service laundry facilities are also available.
The Ayers campground is located within the Ayers Rock Resort which has some amazing amenities you should check out. Also the there are exciting free daily activities such as guided garden strolls and indigenous bush yarns. Participate in them while at it.
There you have it. A nifty list of all the must-visit pet-friendly camping places in Northern NSW.
We bet you're now more than ever excited to spend some time in the great outdoors. Remember to get yourself a gazebo for guaranteed perfect shelter.
Updated September 2018: Added two more pet-friendly camping sites; Coachwood and Ayers campgrounds.

Ken Arthurson's record as a player (sadly cut short by injury at age 24) and as coach of Manly Warringah (1967-61) would have themselves earned him a place in rugby league folklore, but it was as an administrator that he put his stamp on the game. He was secretary of Manly for 20 years and later President. He was Executive Chairman of the Australian Rugby League from 1983 to 1997 and is credited with paving the way for the game's growth by reorganising it on more businesslike lines. He was also Director General of International Rugby League from 1985 to 1997.
Ken Arthuson began his rugby league career as a 16 year-old with Freshwater Surf Life Saving Club's D-grade side, enjoying a Premiership in 1945, his first year. He was a member of the Premiership-winning C grade team the following year and played in B grade and A grade premiership teams over the next two years. He joined Manly Warringah in 1948.
In 1953 he joined Parkes as player-coach but in his first season there injury ended his playing career. He was only 24.
Unable to play, he returned to Manly Warringah in 1954 as coach of the third grade team graduating to coach of the reserve grade the following year and coach of the senior side from 1957-61.
At this time he was also Administrator of the Police College at North. With this background in administration he was elected to the committee of Manly Warringah in 1956 and in 1963 took over the role of full-time Secretary. It was to be the beginning of a long and highly effective career in rugby administration. He served with Manly as secretary until 1983 and from 1968 to 83 also served on the Board of NSW Rugby League.
In 1983 he took over as executive chairman of the Australian Rugby League, a position he held until 1997 and one which had a major impact on the development of the game in Australia. He is widey credited with raising the standard of professionalism of rugby administration and helping to build the foundations for the game's growth. For much of this period (1985-97) he was also Director General of the International Rugby League Board.
In the mid-1990s Rugby League was embroiled in a protracted and divisive wrangle over the formation of a Super League, backed by News Ltd. In 1997 Ken Arthurson, who had led much of the resistance to Super League, stepped down to help facilitate a settlement. His role, however, in shaping Rugby League in Australia remains universally acknowledged.

My research conceptualizes the female body as a borderland that is grotesque after being wounded and divided. I synthesize works by Anzaldua and Bakhtin to project an image of a female body that bleeds when grated against transnational forces and subjected to processes of dynamic change. This representation allows the grotesque female body to be in continual engagement with “acts of becoming”, and places it in a profoundly ambivalent position between the processes of renewal and decay. In my thesis, I invoke Hall’s diasporic identities to further argue that the never completed quality of the female body points to a profound discontinuity stemming from trauma induced by slavery, transportation, colonization, and migration. I critically analyze the experiences of fictional female characters in order to trace a mobile trajectory that begins with the female body’s forced transportation; continues with its wounding from displacements; and ends with its transformation. I want to uncover how the constant movements of the female body come to mold not only a body that is grotesque but also a mind characterized by a diasporic identity. I hypothesize that the female body’s porous quality and ability to overcome boundaries is what allows it to “live sin fronteras” and “be a crossroads."

By The Chicago Egotist / April 25, 2017 / Freed from the bonds of having to use celebrity spokesman Blake Shelton on behalf of Gildan, O’Keefe Reinhard & Paul brings the brand directly to the young millennial men’s market in an integrated campaign that showcases its men’s underwear line as way more hip than the old man’s tighty-whiteys. “Don’t Wear Your Dad’s Underwear.” is Gildan’s call to today’s younger mindset men. The rallying cry is played out in a series of television, digital, radio and print ads that unabashedly show older dads hanging out in their skivvies contrasted with their sons who appear in Gildan premium boxer briefs that represent a decidedly updated choice – not only in style, but in substance.
“Our male consumer has the millennial mindset and we know that this audience is looking for quality products at a better value. We also know they are looking for new brands that they can make their own, not their parent’s brands,” explained Rob Packard, Vice President of Marketing at Gildan Brand. “This campaign takes on legacy brands while raising awareness of Gildan’s promise of delivering the next generation of underwear.” The creative idea is played out in short .15 second spots and longer .30 second spots that quickly and effectively tell the Gildan brand story. Gildan is also using creative media buys such as branded digital ads on Tinder that suggest users ‘swipe right’ for underwear from a photo of dad to one of the son. Other millennial type media content plays are being developed by Rolling Stone and The Onion. OKRP and Gildan partnered with Chicago media agency Kelly Scott Madison on the media plan and buys.
“Not your Dad’s Underwear” is a bold statement that gets to the point fast. Perfect for today’s attention challenged audience,” explained Matt Reinhard, Chief Creative Officer at OKRP. “And when you are the challenger brand in the category, you can push off the competition and raise your awareness as the new alternative.” The new Gildan positioning as ‘The Next Generation of Underwear’ was developed following research that revealed that while men admire their fathers and want to be like them, when it comes to underwear, they want to chart new territory. The work was designed to show a competitive advantage versus the two leading brands in the category in style as well as in value. “Given our target market and competitive approach, we were able to work with key partners to create custom programs and integrations that engage our core audience at meaningful moments, with content that speaks to them” said Bryan Kirkland, V.P., Associate Media Director at KSM. The integrated campaign launches in mid-March on digital channels around March Madness and will be seen on such sites as Rolling Stone, The Onion, Ozy and Tinder. Television advertising will launch in April on relevant networks. A social media campaign will support the effort as well.

Mobile is currently taking the online gambling industry by storm as successfully as the Lord Jesus turned water into wine all those years ago. Thinking about it, given his love for turning water into wine we think he’d be quite the person to have at an industry party. After all, who doesn’t like free wine?!
We’re straying from the real subject though.
Smart devices that you can carry around with you and partake in some online gambling are emerging by the day and the latest non-Apple release could corner a part of the market.
Sony today announced details of the PSP2, which is the latest version of their handheld video game and entertainment system. At a special event in Tokyo they announced that it’s officially called the NGP or Next Generation Portable, and will be released at some point later this year.
As well as allowing users to play Playstation 3 quality games it also features Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, which may be the most interesting part for people in the online gambling industry.
The video gaming industry may well be getting their asses handed to them by games on smart phones but with an industry leader like Sony still developing devices there’s definitely a future for them. Adding online gambling to the equation can only help their matters even more and players are much more likely to invest in a device that has all the gaming features they need, while also offering gambling facilities.
Smart phones and mobile gaming are the buzz word around the industry right now, and if you can offer everything on a device that player relatively high end games then you’re likely to be on to a winner in the gambling market as well.

Did we mention that he speaks Malay fluently?
Every year, thousands of tourists flock to Malaysia to explore and enjoy the unparalleled beauty and diversity of the country. Some who left were eager to come back, and some immediately decided to move here for good after falling in love with our country.
This was the case for 26-year-old Briton, Rhys William, in 2013.
We first learned of Rhys a few years ago when his Instagram photos went viral. It wasn’t because of the pictures he posted; it was his captions that caught our attention – he wrote them in Malay.
And they are not formal Malay words you could easily Google Translate; it was informal and laden with local slangs. What’s even more amusing is, he sounded just like a local.
Turns out, Rhys loved our food and culture so much that he decided to pack his bags and leave for Malaysia.
So, we decided to talk to the man himself and find out what is it about Malaysia that made him want to move a continent away from his homeland.
“I first came to Malaysia for a holiday in 2012 for two weeks, and it was purely because a friend recommended it to me,” Rhys recalls.
And naturally, just like any other tourist, he was eager to sample our local cuisine. One of his first Malaysian dishes, was of course, the iconic nasi lemak.
“I remember that when I first came here, although the food was very different to what I was used to in the UK, I really liked it. Nasi lemak was one of the first dishes I had.
"Since then, I’ve been trying all sorts of different Malaysian food from the whole of Malaysia and it never disappoints. I really love the food here.
Within 14 days, Rhys fell in love with our country and decided he would come back and try staying here longer.
And so, the lad left his hometown of Redhill in 2013 to embark on a culinary journey in Malaysia. He decided to stay longer and five years later, he’s still here and is immensely in love with our food.
His all-time favourite dishes, he tells us, are nasi lemak, nasi kerabu, and satay.
What makes Rhys different from other Mat Sallehs who decided to migrate here is his ability to adapt and even converse fluently in Bahasa Malaysia.
Our curious bones wondered: does he have any relatives living in Malaysia? Or did he enroll in a BM crash course before leaving for our country?
“The reason why I wanted to learn the language in the first place was because, although I could get around fine with English, if you really want to explore and understand the country you are staying in, the best way is to learn the language,” he says.
Rhys credits his Malaysian friends for helping him pick up the language and he acknowledged that it took him quite some time to get the hang of it.
When he started his blog Mat Salleh Cari Makan and started producing videos about his culinary adventures in Malaysia, he had no choice but to expand his vocabulary and learn words that might not come up in day to day conversation.
But what impressed us (and probably everyone else) the most is his ability to speak local slangs. Just stalk him on his Twitter @si_rhys or Instagram and you’ll understand why.
We tried putting ourselves in Rhys’ shoes and imagined ourselves as a tourist who attempts to speak the local language. It must be pretty petrifying, considering that we are afraid of being laughed at or saying the wrong thing.
But it was quite the opposite for Rhys.
As for Malaysians who have never heard or met Rhys before, hearing him speak can be a pretty interesting encounter.
“There have been times where people would talk about me thinking that I didn’t understand. Some were really rude, but I won’t divulge further on it. It used to happen a lot but nowadays, it doesn’t happen so much.
Loving the local food so much might be enough to make someone move to a new country half the world away, but what is it about Malaysia that Rhys loves so much that he calls his home now?
“I think it’s a combination of a lot of factors: the food, the weather, the variety of different landscapes and definitely the people. It’s more of a feeling I get in Malaysia that I haven’t felt elsewhere, I really like it here and feel happy.
We then asked him about his favourite destinations in Malaysia, and we weren't exactly prepared for his answer.
Among other places that made it to his list are Tioman Island (which was one of the places he visited on his first ever holiday here), Royal Belum, Taman Negara, and Kuching, Sarawak.
Well, you can definitely count on Rhys to help you find the best spots to eat all over Malaysia, because he’s probably explored more restaurants/cafés/stalls than you. Just search for his videos on YouTube or his photos on Instagram and you’ll be amazed! Be warned though, it may cause you to drool and have extreme cravings.
We hope one of these days we could tag along with Rhys on one of his foodie adventures and hopefully bring him to one of the best and hidden places to eat in Malaysia.

South East Asian (SEA) Games gold medalist Kim Mangrobang performed strongly in her tune up game for the 2019 SEA Games, bagging the bronze medal at the Brasilia CAMTRI Sprint Triathlon American Cup.
Mangrobang clocked in at 1:02:28 to finish third behind Brazil triathletes who won first and second places in their home turf.
The Filipina triathlete was the lone non-Brazilian to join the Brasilia race held mid-March.
Mangrobang’s Portuguese coach Sergio Santos noted her efforts and dedication in playing against Brazil’s finest triathletes.
“Kim did a good effort but she was swimming against the Brazilian open water champions,” Coach Santos said according to the Triathlon Association of the Philippines release.
Kim Mangrobang won her SEA Games Elite Women’s Triathlon gold in 2017 in Kuala Lumpur.
After the Brazil triathlon, Kim Mangrobang is expected to receive more training before she returns to race in Subic.
With this new achievement, Mangrobang gained points for the qualifiers in the upcoming 2020 Olympics to be held in Tokyo, Japan.
Send your cheers to Kim Mangrobang, Filipina triathlete champion!

Gets or sets the ASPxDashboard's client programmatic identifier.
A String that specifies the ASPxDashboard's client identifier.
Use the ClientInstanceName property to specify a unique client-side identifier for a ASPxDashboard control. The ClientInstanceName property's value can be used on the client side to programmatically access the client object rendered for the Designer in client-side script. This property is particularly important in referencing the Web Dashboard when it is contained within a naming container (for instance, within an ASPxPageControl's page or an ASPxPopupControl's window).
If the ClientInstanceName property is not specified, a Web Dashboard's client identifier is generated automatically and equals the value of the control's ID property. Note that in this case, client-side programmatic access to the Web Dashboard by its ID is not allowed when the control is contained within a naming container.
The Web Dashboard's client instance is represented by the ASPxClientDashboard class.

Avoid social situations to avoid being laughed at or ridiculed Worry that people think they do not engage with them in a warm, friendly way or think they are humourless Find it hard to know what to say to people in a natural way Has low self-esteem due to feeling incompetent in social situations When people are talking and laughing, they feel their body getting tense, which then makes their movements appear wooden and stiff rather than being relaxed and natural Think they are not a lively person, are not spontaneous, and do not experience many joyful moments in their daily life Worry that they look ridiculous to others Anyone who answers yes to at least half of these statements may be gelotophobic. As laughter is used as an integral part of communication and how people form and maintain relationships, it is natural to see how those who tend to be gelotophobic will find that their social interactions are seriously affected. Usually laughter is contagious and leads to positive emotions such as exhilaration and joy, yet no one likes to be laughed at or made fun of. Most people dislike being laughed at to some degree and gelotophobia can range from having no fear at all, to borderline, to pronounced or extreme gelotophobia. Assessment of gelotophobia There is a fifteen-item questionnaire for the subjective assessment of gelotophobia, e.g. the GELOPH<15>. This questionnaire has been used to show that gelotophobia exists, to varying degrees, in a normal population. It has been found on every continent and has, so far, had samples taken from 72 countries and the GELOPH<15> has been translated into over 42 different languages. Different countries vary in the amount of people, within the population, who are gelotophobes Research into gelotophobia using the GELOPH scales, shows that empirically, the condition does exist outside of those people who go into therapy because of the problems they are experiencing with being afraid of laughed at. In the first studies, gelotophobes were distinguished from other people with shame-based problems and non-shame based neurotics and samples of a normal population. Basically, this means that even though gelotophobia shares similarities with other problems, there are more differing aspects of it that make it a unique problem. Gelotophobia and emotions Although at face value the emotions relating to gelotophobia would be predominantly fear. However, there is a distinct interplay with three dominant emotions.The three emotions are low levels of joy and high levels of fear and shame. More importantly where shame in a typical week exceeds joy, gelotophobia is more likely to develop. Gelotophobes say that they are bad at regulating their emotions and they more easily pick up the negative moods of other people. They also control their emotions and do not express their feelings easily to others. Gelotophobic perception and personality Gelotophobes do not have the ability to understand the difference between playful forms of humorous interactions such as teasing and the more mean types such as ridicule. This means that even if someone is trying to be friendly and playful a gelotophobe will feel apprehensive and mistake the interaction for ridicule. It can also mean that people may feel they are being bullied when in fact it isn’t so. Gelotophobes can be located in both the Eysenck PEN and the Big Five models of personality. Gelotophobia correlates highly with introversion and neuroticism. On older P-scales gelotophobes score higher in Psychoticism too. The dimensional assessment of personality pathology, a DSM personality disorder instrument showed that those with a fear of being laughed at tend to be socially avoidant, have identity problems and are submissive. Social withdrawal and suspiciousness most predicted gelotophobia. Paul Lewis (Boston College, US) speculated whether political gelotophobia might affect elections in the US (The twin fears of being effectively mocked or ineffective in mocking others [too harsh, blunt, tasteless] led candidates to aggressive and proactive strategies [going on TV to show they can take a joke, be funny—anything to avoid being rendered pathetically ridiculous or inappropriately derisive]) [p. 42, conference abstract from the 2009 conference of the International Society for Humor Studies ISHS in Long Beach, California]; Sociologist Christie Davies, who is also president of the ISHS comments satirically on the results of recent elections in the UK. He noticed that losers in those elections were frequently bald — To be bald is to suffer from gelotophobia, to fear being laughed at; to fear being laughed at is to fear disorder; to fear disorder is to embrace absolutism. Strengths, intelligence and humour ability A number of tests show that gelotophobes often underestimate their own potential and achievements. Gelotophobes tend to see themselves as less virtuous than people who know them. In a similar way in an intelligence study, gelotophobes consistently underestimated their intellectual performance by as much as 6 IQ points. Gelotophobes have a different approach to laughter. Laughter does not lift their mood or make them more cheerful. They personally characterise their own humour as being inept yet again tests show that they are no different from other people at making witty remarks and humour.

This provocative book challenges long-held assumptions about the nature of historical consciousness in Germany. Susan A. Crane argues that the ever-more-elaborate preservation of the historical may actually reduce the likelihood that history can be experienced with the freshness and individuality characteristic of the early collectors and preservationists. Her book is both a study of the emergence in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Germany of a distinctively modem conception of historical consciousness, and a meditation on what was lost as historical thought became institutionalized and professionalized.
Public forms of remembering the past which are familiar today, such as historical museums and historical preservation, have surprisingly recent origins. In Germany, caring about the past took on these distinctively new forms after the Napoleonic wars. The Brothers Grimm gathered fairy tales and documented the origins of the German language. Historical preservationists collected documents and artifacts and organized the conservation of cathedrals and other historic buildings. Collectors formed historical societies and created Germany's historical museums. No single national consciousness emerged; instead, many groups used similar means to make different claims about what it meant to have a German past.

E-cigarettes have become so popular in the current times that people smoking cigarettes can now make a switch and use them while still smoking. One of the most common reasons why more and more people are making the switch and doing some vaping is the fact that they can choose from different vape juice flavors.. Because of the many vape juice flavors these people can choose from, they will not be anymore having troubles finding one that best suits their kind of taste. If you are still choosing which vape juice flavor best suits your taste buds, just take your time because there are countless vape juice flavors that you are free to choose from. Vaping has indeed turned out to be one of the best alternatives to smoking your typical cigarette. There are a number of reasons why it is better for smokers to be switching to smoking e-cigarettes. If you want to know what these things are, then make sure that you read this article.
The number one reason why e-cigarettes came to exist is the fact that they are considered to be safer alternatives to cigarettes in order for the chain smoker to recover from their bad habit and stay away from the harmful effects of the substances found in a cigarette. Another good thing when you smoke e-cigarettes is that you can just do them anywhere you are because they are not composed of a number of harmful substances that you typically find in a real cigarette. When you smoke e-cigarettes, you are also not putting in danger the lives of other people around you because of second hand smoke. And while you are smoking them, you will also not smell bad afterwards. E-cigarettes are still able to create some smoke that have been made from vapor, and this vapor is able to provide different e-juice flavors.
If you have a smoking addiction and you want to steer clear from such a bad habit of yours, then it is time that you use e-cigarettes while smoking. One of the reasons why e-cigarettes have become very appealing among a lot of smokers is the fact that they come with different vape juice flavors for your choosing. The great thing about them is that not only do they offer different flavors for your choosing but also they do not come with the usual harmful effects of smoking the real cigarettes. Thus, if you feel the urge to smoke a cigarette in any occasion, you need not worry if you will be smelling bad at the end of the day.

Meet Kentucky natives Shane Dax Taylor and W. Earl Brown in these Behind the Scenes, production-oriented outtakes from their interviews for the current Ace Weekly coverstory.
W. Earl Brown’s midair moment – an in-flight epiphany about wanting to make Tennessean William Gay’s novel, Provinces of Night, into a movie –took place before the release of the gadget known as the iPhone. His chosen director, Shane Dax Taylor, was flying to work the 2002 MLB All-Star Game for ESPN when he read the script.
The final film, eight years in the making premiered at the Nashville Film Festival in spring of 2011. It will make its Kentucky debut Friday (May 20) at the Kentucky Theatre, complete with a visit from the Director.
“We were a couple weeks away from shooting the film in 2006 ….we had spent close to $700,000 before it fell apart,” Taylor said.
“I was very fortunate to have such great actors. I had enough time to work with my Director of Photography Tim Orr. We had four to five weeks of prep, which made my work so much easier. We went to every location and laid out each shot.
The early effort, early hires and the early care to attach some of the best working in Hollywood on production elements paid off. The team took notes from the first go-round and made those into a set, a location and a shooting plan. The result was an early cut of the film then named Provinces of Night.
The director of photography, or DP, has credits including everything from Pineapple Express to The Rough South of Larry Brown.
His work in Bloodworth confirms what we already know: that William Faulkner wasn’t just foolin’ naming that one book Light in August. There is that special light that is the very verisimilitude of the South, the sweet stultification of home with the chipped white enamel bowl for shucking green beans on your thigh, and North Carolinian Orr and Production Designer Brian Stultz have captured it in Bloodworth.
The production design of this movie is tone-perfect. And it is difficult to get a South right, especially a timeless South, without overkill.
Stultz’s work (Remember The Titans, Sweet Home Alabama, Wonder Boys, A River Runs Through It) is a character in itself. He was the first person Taylor hired, in those days before the iPhone. “Brian and I worked so closely…” on the early parts of the film, that when the financing came together again, they were able to pull the same designs out, Taylor said.
“No matter what I do, he’ll be right by my side. Design plays such an important part of so many things. He’s able to set up this world and not be cliché.” Taylor said, of the world of the physically true Stultz sets up with details and well-placed dust.
Shot at the Screen Gems campus in Wilmington, N.C. , their grounds served as the production office as the cast and crew went afield into rural North Carolina to recreate Tennessee. “I looked everywhere in Kentucky and Tennessee and then our financing came out of North Carolina with the tax incentives. Our (initial) investors were living in the Wilmington area and they wanted us to be there.
“I definitely looked everywhere in Kentucky. I shot my first film The Grey in Murray, Kentucky. Hopefully, someday we can get the incentive back that can make it possible to work in Kentucky. But when you’ve got Louisiana, Vancouver, and now Alaska, with 40 percent tax incentives, you just can’t compete with that, when you look at these other states,” Taylor said.
The duo of Shane Dax Taylor (producer, director) and W. Earl Brown (producer, screenplay writer, actor) finally had a print.
It was long and independent and they took it to the prestigious Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The film, then called Provinces of Night was so popular that the festival scheduled four additional showings, something usually reserved for a print of say, Crash.
Brown said the experience “was kind of two-fold. We’d never played the film for people outside of our friends. We couldn’t afford test screenings. You don’t know how anything’s going to play with people. Santa Barbara was the first experience that we really showed it to people,” he said.
“It’s hard to separate your prior knowledge from what’s on screen….” Brown noted about a script that he wrote, revised, blocked, shot, acted in and cut. There’s no distance from the project, no objectivity, he said. That’s why, he in fact does believe in test screenings — to see audience reaction.
Taylor said that a strict adherence to the Gay book, which is more a wide-angle character study, made the film a little too long. “The original cut last year, we stuck so closely to the book that once we premièred it (in Santa Barbara), Earl and I decided to go back in and recut it and just see…” It was after that — a 45-minute cut — that Sam Goldwyn and Sony became interested.
In the editing, “We lost some scenes with Val Kilmer’s character, lost some scenes with Dwight’s character,” he said. And that was too bad, but really sharpened the focus on the story of the young Fleming Bloodworth and the returning grandfather.
The print was renamed Bloodworth and the Friday showing at The Kentucky Theatre, which Taylor plans to attend, will be the first limited release of the film after the Nashville Film Festival premiere of the final cut.
Taylor said that the difference between The Grey, his first film, for which he won Best Director at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and Bloodworth, really lies in the craft and professionalism of the actors and crew.
“For my first film, I only had a couple of professional actors, to this one where just from top to bottom everyone was professional,” Taylor said.
Both Taylor and Brown cite their respect for Kris Kristofferson and say their biggest achievement is working with him on set and his reaction to the final version.
Brown and Taylor are currently casting for a “whitewater rafting thriller” (cue banjos) that will be shot in July and are working with the family of baseball great Mickey Mantle on a project that the family has approved.
Will W. Earl Brown this great character actor who has the stuff to be in the trailer with David Milch on Deadwood make a full transition to producer and screenwriter?
“Those are the two that are on the active front burner. So, yes and no. I’m never going to stop acting. Even now, it is still how I pay my bills. The creative process is still kind of the same for me. It’s trying to find the things that I lay awake at night or I dream about….whether that’s a story or a song or whatever,” Brown said.

Course Description The course deals about the development and use of advanced engineering methods for high-fidelity simulations of surgical and interventional treatments of the cardiovascular system. The introductory section deals about the requirements of a simulation environment for cardiovascular surgery, with recalls concerning in-vivo animal testing limitations and the current regulatory scenario. The central part of the course is focused onto experimental and computational methods for the simulation of cardiovascular surgery. The experimental section provides the criteria for design and setting-up of mock circulatory loops, from traditional apparatuses to the recent techniques for the development of realistic simulation phantoms. In the computational section, the modelling approaches for developing and using virtual phantoms are treated, from the reconstruction of geometries from medical images, to the practical simulation of surgical devices and procedures. The final section of the course deals about the integration of experimental and computational aspects, using some real-world applications as case-studies.

That’s 225 bags of swag, swag, and more swag.
Almost as soon as my plane landed this morning, I’ve been on the go prepping with Healthy Living Stuff. I left my computer off on the flight and just tried to relax. I knew my mind would be going a mile a minute when I landed, so I wanted to enjoy as much peace and quiet as I could before the madness started.
I walked around trying to figure out just where the cocktail party will be in the market. There were no big rooms and the space seems pretty tight between the stalls. I really can’t wait to see how they lay it out tomorrow night, it’s definitely going to be a surprise to me.
I knew I was hungry when we arrived, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted. After doing a full lap of the market, I landed at the vegetarian stand.
It was a delicious mix of faux meat (I think it was seiten?), vegan cheese,peppers, tomato, and lettuce.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it really did taste like the real thing! Sooo good!
It was also really filling. I could only eat half and gave the rest to my sister.
After lunch I had a (not needed) coffee.
It just tasted too good not to have one of my own.
We’re heading out to dinner! Bring on the good food!
You are making me sooo excited for HLS. Can’t wait to see my swag and of course all of you bloggers!
I’m so excited for this weekend. Thank you for being an awesome planner.
I had a conference in Philly this spring. The hotel/conference center were right off of RTM and I lived off of those veggie Philly cheesesteaks the entire week. SO. GOOD.
That vegan cheese steak looks amazeee!
Oh my goodness THANK YOU to you ladies for working so dang hard!!!! I can see how your neck/back would be killing you! Geeze louise. Slash I can’t WAIT for the cocktail party, I wish we could have a preview of the food that’s going to be served!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn recently posted..Floopy Day.
hmm…I’ve never had faux meat before. Not sure what I think of that, although it does look delish!
Wowza! That’s a lot of swag you’ve got goin on right there!
YAY!! So excited! Can’t wait to meet everyone.
AGGGHHHH! I’m almost peeing my pants I’m so excited!
I’m so bummed that the HLS is in MY city this year and I couldn’t buy a ticket because I made plans with family and out-of-town friends for this exact weekend months ago! Have an AWESOME time here!
It sounds like it is getting off to a good start!
I am sure it will be a very exciting weekend. I can’t wait to see pictures of the cocktail party.
Wow, that’s a lot of swag! I will totally understand if you have extras and have to send me some.
Whoa!! I wish so badly I could find a vegetarian place that actually offered stuff like that rather than just veggies on bread. That looks so good!!
AH SO FUN! I can’t wait to read all about the conference (and that amazing swag) I hope that I will be able to go next year!
Your hard work is finally about to pay off, yippee!
Woah! Swag bags galore! How exciting!
I hope you guys enjoy Philly, i am born and raised. You guys, or at least Derek, need to go to Chickie and Petes. Sports bar in south Philly, an El ride away (hop on the Orange line). They are famous for crab fries, they just added sweet potato fries that are sooo good too.
You guys going to run up the Rocky steps?
I’m running the Philly Marathon in November and the Reading Terminal Market is definitely on my must-see list when I get there 🙂 Good luck with the rest of your night!!

Two days after civic authorities ordered closure of 21 rooftop restobars at Connaught Place following collapse of roof of a building, another structure collapsed at the iconic market in central Delhi.
The single-storey building had been lying vacant for a decade and no injury has been reported in the incident, the police said.
The building situated in L block in Middle Circle of Connaught Place caved in around 9 PM, police said.
Preliminary probe suggests that excess load on the terrace could have led to the collapse.
Sources claimed that one of the rooms in the building was used by labourers to store debris from the construction work nearby.
The police have informed the NDMC about the incident and said that a probe would be initiated.
A crime and forensic team has been called in to probe the matter, they said.
The incident comes after a recent order by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) asking 21 restaurants in the area to shut down their rooftop sections.
The roof of a vacant shop on top of Jain Book Depot in Connaught Place's C block had collapsed on February 2, following which rooftop sections of 21 restobars were closed down.
According to NDMC norms, terrace or balconies in heritage buildings cannot be used for any kind of commercial activity.
The civic body has also decided to conduct a survey of all "dangerous" buildings in the area by the end of this month to avoid any mishap and formulate a policy to regulate structures installed on rooftops in commercial centres.
It had recently formed a six-member panel comprising structural safety experts from IIT-Delhi, CPWD, NDMC and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of the area to inspect the site and ascertain the reason behind the cave-in.

Four videos produced through the Scottish Centre for Island studies received their premier screening on Sunday 11th December at The Discovery Centre cinema in Rothesay, on the Isle of Bute. The short films were made as part of The Bute Video Project led by doctoral research student and filmmaker Kirsten MacLeod. Kirsten’s practice led research is exploring process, practice and participation in community based media. The project aimed to stimulate local video production on the island, feeding into an emergent local media production scene on Bute.
The films reflected the filmmakers local interests – Rhubodach Forest by Kathryn Kerr – about Rhubodach forest on Bute which was part of a community land buyout; Rothesay Shops by Ann Russell featuring Rothesay’s eclectic and independent high street shops & their owners; Bute Guitar Festival by Chris Corrin on the importance of music on the island, and festivals such as the recent “Big F” Guitar Festival, and Cathy McLean’s My Rothesay – a very personal reflection on moving to the island.
The films were part of the Bute Film Society’s Local Filmmaker’s night. Other locally based filmmakers featured included wildlife cameraman Philip Lovell, ex BBC producer Brian Barr, and independent producers Lesley Anne Morrison and Greg McNeill of Big Baby Productions.
Kirsten’s PhD research, (supervised by Dr Kathryn A Burnett, and Mr Tony Grace, UWS), has also included practice led fieldwork in Govan, Glasgow and a general survey of community media production in the Outer Hebrides.
The project received the support of the Scottish Centre for Island Studies, The University of the West of Scotland and Bute Connections.
Many thanks to all who contributed to the films and took part.

The most important thing that you need to do when designing a digital presence is to determine and understand your core customer.
If you do a quick Google search you'll see references to core customers that typically tie to customer or buyer personas. Personas are a standard way of trying to help define your core audience. Everyone has their own version of personas, but typically they consist of demographic information, goals, challenges, etc.
Just knowing the gender, age, and income of your audience will not help you get more sales. There's something more to making a purchase that goes a little deeper.
In The Inside Advantage: The Strategy that Unlocks the Hidden Growth in Your Business by Robert Bloom and Dave Conti, the authors suggest looking at your audience from a slightly different perspective.
Companies should describe their audience in a way that will enable them to really get to know them and their ultimate needs. The authors believe that knowing your customer - fully understanding his or her needs, preferences, and prejudices - is vital to creating a robust and effective growth strategy for your business. Since your digital presence is a part of your growth strategy, this naturally translates on how you go about creating your digital presence.
You should describe your core customer in one clear statement that captures the essence of his or her wants, needs and desires. Think of it as an elevator pitch for your core customer.
What are the elements of the core customer statement?
Write down a broad list of customers. Instead of starting to draft the description of your core customer right away, the recommendation is to make a list of all the customers that come to mind. The list shouldn't include only your favorite customers but also the ones that currently belong to your competitors and/or the ones that currently use both you and your competitors. Also, make sure to add potential customers that are similar to your current ideal clients.
Narrow down your ideal customers. Examine your list and circle those targets that best represent your current customers and the potential customers you'd like to recruit in the next few years.
Focus on your highest priority targets. Here you are looking to define an individual who will be your core customer.
Describe your customer in 2 to 3 words and refrain from using general terms.
Complete the exercise by defining your core customer in 10 to 15 words. In the final statement, describe his or her needs, desires, wants and demands in relation to your products and services.
A West Coast Golf Products Retailer: An affluent, avid golfer who constantly seeks a better golfing experience.
A Fitness Center: An adult man or woman who wants and can afford an exceptional personal training experience.
A Sports and Entertainment Marketing Agency: A powerful marketer with a big ad budget that demands results-driven sponsorship programs.
These companies didn't describe their core customer as someone who is looking to buy their products or services, but as someone who is looking to fulfill their needs and desires.
The golf retailer didn't describe their core customer as someone who is looking to buy golf equipment because those are not the ultimate desires of their core customer. The ultimate desire is to become a better golfer. The golf retailer wants to improve the golfing experience of their core customers, and they just happen to sell golf equipment.
All sales are emotional in nature (and then rational) and aligning your products and services (and the way you market and sell) with your customers needs and desires will help you attract, engage and convert more prospects into buying customers.
In many cases, the next step is developing personas for your content marketing plan. Learn what personas are and how to get started.

Meeting Date and Time OK?
User Tests and Debugging for Annotation Processor.
Facades for Jobs,JobRunner,NetworkCapabilities allowing development/testing outside Glassfish.
Updated Roadmap to indicate things not accomplished for SPNHC, and expand list of potential next step targets.
Worked on Kurator proposal with rest of team (Saturday).
July 4th is a Wednesday, Canadians have the 1st off, Otherwise OK.
James: Lots of "Can I use this tomorrow?" questions. TODO: Add audio track to video, upload to youtube channel. James to try recording audio track, Paul to add to video, Lei to make channel link available. TODO: Jim to send Paul contact at Smithsonian Center For Astrophysics group, Paul to contact about more elaborate video.
Bob: Bob and Jim working out contacts for Designers. Jim: Need clarification on some of the notes.
Paul to Invite Patrick and Chuck for next week's meeting. Need Software engineering discussion with Ed Gilbert about colaboration in Symbiota.
Confirmed meeting dates in August. Time to book travel.
James: Asked by iDigBio to give (1) 15 minute talk, and (2) be part of a one day workshop (about 30 participants) to give a FP demonstration. Demonstration much like SPNHC. TODO: Get Specify installed on James' laptop, and test MySQL over SSH tunnel from his machine. Paul: A few minor bugs and some minor feature requests from demonstration, will file bugs. Add fillin for highertaxon/rank on mapping. Date issue. Leave oauth error handling to next week when Maureen gets back. TODO: Paul to stop in with Jim this Afternoon to check in authentication. James: Could use further help on UI development.
Delivery of annotations to interests based on related data not found in annotation Requirement20 (Bob working on, evaluating SPARQL Push).
James: Priorities, ApplePie and TCN engagement gives us nice traction, how do we leverage this. We need something that works. Discussion: Lightweight annotation system would be good something to deploy that works. TODO: David and Bob to produce a brief description of VM capability and software requirements (SPARQL Push, Fuseki, etc) to deploy an instance. Paul: How fragile to changes in domain ontologies? Bob: Not fragile. David: Domain ontology removed from Java code, all defined in configuration. Paul: What are the implications of deploying, using, and then changing the vocabulary? Bob: For development, about 2 hours of configuration. For use, makes questions more complex, are questions (interests) to reflect only old interests, or only new, or both? A specific risk is that existing interests would not pick up new annotations. Phrase other way around, when someone expresses an interest (a SPARQL query), they want a notification whenever a new annotation is made that meets that query, plus the first time you subscribe, all existing matches to the query. What do you expect to happen when you register a new interest with respect to things in the old vocabulary (will depend on reasoning linking vocabularies). James: A few higher level suggestions, coming from Maureen. Meetings taking too much time. Good to have specific weekly targets. Paul: Good to tighten up Wednesday meetings, down to 1 hour. Bob: Refactor meetings to put deliverables discussion that programmers need to be involved in first, then research goals later. James: Would be good to have more control of meeting software. Jim: Kansas/Minesota/Arizona team discussions used effective system. Bob: evo.caltech.edu http://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate/ Paul: Will give another try at using roadmap to develop weekly targets.

My work gives me opportunity to meet many interesting individuals, several of them women. I am always surprised to note that many of them never realize what their true potential is and consequently have never aimed high. In our society we seem to have cast a woman as soon as she is born into a traditional role – a good daughter, supportive wife, capable mother or doting grandmother. She is ‘groomed’ to be an asset for others but not for herself. She is rarely encouraged to think of herself as an individual - it is as if she shouldn’t have any identity!
Even in families where boys and girls are supposedly equal, there is discrimination. But rarely does the girl growing up in such families feel she is being discriminated. She is given the same material comforts and good schooling. The difference being - early on roles have been typecast. Where the boy’s abilities, latent or non-existent, are nurtured with full force and he is groomed to be a doctor, engineer, successful businessman or take on the family mantle, a totally dependant role is carved out for the girl. Where the male child realizes his ‘immense’ potential, the girl grows up not even realizing she has one. She rarely grows up knowing that she has it in her to become something big. A girl has to show a lot of fire, brilliance and determination to be allowed to make something of herself. Very often, even then the determined woman has to face many obstacles. Where a man is encouraged and admired, a woman is often discouraged and laughed at for wanting to try out something on her own.
Women are capable of so much if only they are given the encouragement and same opportunities as men. Low levels of literacy and lack of exposure or experience are not at all a hindrance to their contribution to society. Recently a few of our colleagues visited Dr Aroles’ Comprehensive Rural Health Project in Jamkhed, Maharashtra. There the primary healthcare is provided by illiterate women, often from the lower rungs of the society. Dr Arole trained them systematically to provide health services including prenatal counseling, deliveries etc. When these village health workers interacted with my colleagues, some of whom happen to be physicians, they were amazed at the confidence, poise, knowledge and skills of these ordinary women. In fact one competent family practitioner lightly commented “I am beginning to question my own ability” !
If high quality health care can be delivered with the help of “ordinary” women, just imagine what can be achieved if the potential of millions of Indian women is tapped and given an opportunity to contribute to the societal good.

But using Magento doesn’t necessarily have to be complicated. Magento setup and installation is similar to any LAMP software. Moreover, many web hosts today provide one click installation service for popular scripts including magento. However what magento does require is good server specs, as magento is quite resource intensive and your ordinary shared web hosting plan may not suffice.
Whether you want to take a hands-on approach for crafting your store or want to seek help from the professionals, the infographic from Biztech Consulting & Solutions will give you some great ideas for you to be able to run a successful estore.

Enrichment programming allows me to explore other areas of study and research that are important to me. In most cases I am combining art and exploration through workshops, partnerships, classes, and forums. As a result, I find successful ways to connect to people and promote progressive betterment. “Enrichment" refers to projects and programming that can be used to promote wellness, self empowerment, diversity, sustainable communities, and the connection between the mind and body.
they were involved in all aspects of the project – from farm production to development. marketing and distribution. This is quite an amazing place. Watch a video about Pie Ranch.
Still Life Cycle Program - I was a lead developer hired to build an experiential education program for teenage girls and the first trip was to Iceland. We spent a month traveling with our bikes around the perimeter of country so that we could develop exploration projects with a focus on art, science, global awareness, photo-journalism and film. Watch our support video.
Manresa Gallery - From 2012-2015 Manresa Gallery's mission was to host exhibitions that promoted "Interfaith Dialogue." As a contemporary art curator I was honored to work with commissioned artists to develop projects and programs that could have an influence on the way we view spirituality. A large part of peaceful interactions and communication requires education and acceptance of views different from one's own. Video of Gallery Director James Blaettler, S.J. speaking about the space.
Soap Box Talks at Slow Food Nation - As the co-curator of the Seed Project: at the SF Arts Commission Gallery I helped facilitated a soap box lecture program that explored the exhibition artists' ideas for the creation of a new branch of the San Francisco Public Library. This suggested new branch would house a comprehensive seed library and a garden tool lending system. The artists Jessie Schlesinger and Jerome Wagg spoke about their ideas to visitors of the City Hall's Victory Gardens Project and the Slow Food Nation Event in San Francisco - a great way to promote food justice.
Creativity Residency - Open for Making was an residency program that combined physical endurance and nature projects with art. I was inspired by my trip to The Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada in November, 2008. As part of Triple Base exhibition programming I designed a residency program that would take place on the weekends over the course of a month. Each day was organized with varied programs that included music workshops, improv classes, yoga, basketball, gardening, weaving, community acupuncture, writing workshops and drawing projects. Watch a video about Open For Making here.
Open for Business - I curated Open for Making as a way to activate Triple Base Gallery and to encourage the participating artists to engage with the exhibition space and its visitors. A weekly rotation of artist booths were designed and each artist provided an offering of goods, services or information allowing the artists to highlight their influences or endeavors outside of their regular visual art practice.
Enrichment Home Visits with Elders - For several years I have been connecting with older adults by making enrichment home visits with clients. In my own search to find in-home companionship visits for my grandmother who was becoming more home-bound, I realized that in most rural towns, very little was provided outside medical home visits. Like my grandmother, many experienced adults respond well when engaging in therapeutic art projects that allow them to explore their past and enjoy the present. This type of work allows me to develop more expansive thinking in regards to companionship and the desire to have more meaningful day activities with people who have limited mobility and in some cases, are close to the end of life.
Art and Movement with Seniors - In 2013 I began working with clients in West Marin, California to develop projects designed for new seniors with high energy and above average physical abilities. These outings included nature walks, kayak adventures, cooking classes and art projects designed to facilitate socialization, tension release, and to learn new skills.
Life Pies Workshops - The Life Pie Project™ is a sculpture project that encourages people to be more future oriented when looking at their lives and the goals they want to set for themselves. I have conducted this workshop at The Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco, Portland State University Graduate Department, Gravel and Gold (Community Gathering Space in San Francisco) and with private clients. It is a great tool used to set personal intentions and to stay focused on positive living habits.
Life Pie & Parental Yoga Workshop - For this project I partnered with Bernal Yoga instructor Megan Windeler and together we created an art and mindfulness workshop for expecting parents. Life Pie™ sculptures provide a therapeutic sculpture project to explore one’s life pre and post child. Expecting parents were asked a series of questions to use as prompts so they could explore life goals and future dreams. Participants were encouraged to mindfully connect with their own needs while making room for their new arrival.
Learning Tree Program - For years I taught art classes to young children but in 2001 after moving to Colorado, I was asked to take on the role as the Atelierista in an enrichment program for preschool children called Learning Tree. Under the direction of Moe Mulrooney in 2001, Learning Tree implemented the Italian teaching philosophy called Reggio Emilia. This teaching practice emphasizes art as a tool that can be used to explore and enrich math, science, and language development. My leadership in this teaching program was very influential in regards to how I continue to develop my methodologies as an educator today – regardless of age of the participant.
JB Blunk Residency Partnership - In 2011 my gallery co-director and I established a partnership with the JB Blunk Residency Program in Point Reyes. In exchange for annual exhibition space at Triple Base, we were able to elect one gallery roster artist a year to attend a free month long residency. This gave artists with whom we worked closely a proper creative space & support to make new work. Elected artists included: Jay Nelson, Rachel Kaye and Oliver Halsman Rosenburg.

While fruits can be a special, sweet treat, you should be cautious about gorging on fruits while on a low carb diet. Those apple and orange treats are full of sugar! Others, like watermelon, are perfect.
Portions are 1/4 cup unless otherwise indicated. Carbs shown are effective / net carbs; the fiber was already removed.
Note that fruit juices are usually chock full of sugars. Read the labels carefully, because it's usually much better to drink water than to drink any fruit juices.
Berries are listed on their own page, linked to below.

A residual current device, or safety switch, protects you from the most frequent cause of electrocution - a shock from electricity passing through the body to the earth. It can also provide some protection against electrical fires.
RCDs are electrical safety devices designed to immediately switch off the supply of electricity when electricity leaking to earth is detected at harmful levels. They offer high levels of personal protection from electric shock.
Workplace injuries and fatalities can be prevented by the use of properly installed and maintained residual current devices.
The managing electrical risks at the workplace code of practice has more information about the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of non portable and portable RCDs.
You may need to seek technical advice from a competent person about the kinds of RCDs that are right for your workplace.
electrical equipment that is moved between jobs in ways that could result in damage to the equipment, for example electric welders, electric cement mixers, portable bench saws and extension cords.
If you are a person with management of a workplace, you must make sure that RCDs used at work are tested regularly by a competent person to make sure they are working effectively.

When it comes to toxic relationships, there are many different circumstances, however, there usually is only one option – leave. Removing yourself from any toxic relationship requires strength, courage and support. How do you remove yourself from a toxic relationship and still remain yourself after a hard breakup? It can be extremely difficult to love yourself after a breakup, especially a toxic one.
Having emotional support is vital when it comes to taking that step of leaving your partner. Make sure to seek help and support from your family and close friends who you can confide in. Sometimes, people often return to a toxic relationship because they feel like they have nobody else in their lives and already have comfort within their toxic relationship. If you have no family or friends close by, you can always seek help from 3rd parties who are always willing to help out – women’s or men’s shelters will always give you advice. However, if you are in any sort of danger, you must seek help as soon as possible.
It’s hard to realise you’re in a toxic relationship when everything comes as second nature. Sometimes, you need to step outside of your own body and reassess everything from the outside looking in to be able to see what’s actually happening in your relationship. If you’re feeling constantly unhappy, you need to question it instead of sweeping it under the rug. See what it is that’s making you upset and question it.
When you feel like you need to leave the relationship, you definitely need to make that final decision and stick to it. When you break up, you’ll miss your relationship – this is perfectly normal. However, you need to remember that this feeling will pass. As human beings, we often get used to and get comfortable and when we’re taken out of our comfort zone, it can be a challenge. Make yourself accountable for the decisions that you make, especially in a toxic relationship.
Toxic relationships are always tricky and although these tips may not apply to you as your situation is more difficult, they are always there as guidelines. There is always someone who can help you when you need it.

I wanted to have some naan with my vegetable curry, but do not have the patience to make some now (with all the waiting!). So I made a quick search for roti–good, it does not need too much waiting, just 30 minutes for the dough to rest!
Mix the ingredients and knead. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Form into balls (we made 4). Flatten with a rolling pin.
We don’t have a tawa but we do have a very old, heavy wok that is so carbonised and proved perfect in this case. So….
Thank you so much 😊 for reference…now my site is http://lathiskitchen.org..

People of Jammu and Kashmir have suffered immensely due to conflict, especially people of Valley. While as the areas south of the Pir Panjal have witnessed relative peace for more than a decade now, Kashmir continues to be in the vicious circle of violence. It is also afflicted with disruption of normal life in one form or the other.
As far as the political spectrum is concerned, there are as many opinions as there are voices. The local political leaders are not unified in their demands for what is termed as “resolution of Kashmir issue.” Some speak of autonomy, some of self rule. With no perceptible leadership change in the last few decades, the positions being held are rigid and uncompromising which has resulted in a political stalemate.
The worst sufferer in this situation is the common man – those who earn their living through trade and provision of services or farming and cultivation or through jobs in the private sector, etc. It is these people who bear the brunt of violence and due to disruptions that are caused by political developments.
A common man earns his living with a lot of hard work and great difficulty. In Kashmir the difficulty factor multiplies many times over. The resultant earning being less than normal leads to despair and frustration. There is rampant unemployment leading to the earning of a single family member being shared by too many; raising families has become a big challenge.
The children ordinary people in Kashmir are growing up in an environment of fear and uncertainly, missing schools frequently and finding fewer opportunities for recreation. They are being subjected to hate and prejudice through constant exposure to the disruptive environment.
The common man has, on many occasions demonstrated his desire to leave the conflict behind and lead a peaceful life, but the forces aligned against him are so powerful that they drown his aspirations in their own interests and do not allow any kind of change to take place.
The only solution to this cycle of despair and hopelessness lies in the common man rising to take his destiny in his own hands. Here it becomes pertinent to study the strengths in favour of the common man, the factors that can assist him in bringing about the change that he desires.
Common man in Kashmir needs to realise the potential of this freedom and political empowerment that he possesses and he needs to use the same to his advantage. It is time to reject all the conspiracy theories to control the politics in Kashmir.
The youth of Kashmir should move out in large numbers to become a part of the corporate success story, their education and hard work gives them this potential and they need to leverage the same. Modern day world is a cosmopolitan hub where professionals and different cultures simply melt in; there are challenges in this process but millions are facing and overcoming the same.
While going out to work the people of Kashmir should also attract as much investment in their land as is possible. The region has great value for setting up of business ventures in view of its vast natural resources, great climate, cheap labour and facilities that the government would be ready to provide. Exploitation of the potential will change Kashmir forever.
It is time for the people of Kashmir to seek ownership of their own lives and stop being stooges in the hands of vested interests. They need to look at the future in a manner that brings in the much needed peace and prosperity. A positive and open minded attitude will go a long way in the realisation of these dreams.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. -- Vandals posted a banner containing an anti-Jewish slur on a Holocaust memorial in front of a New Jersey shore town synagogue where several residents were recently accused of misrepresenting their incomes to improperly obtain public welfare benefits.
The couples eventually were released without bail after making initial court appearances. Prosecutors say they failed to disclose income from numerous sources on applications for Medicaid, housing, Social Security and food assistance benefits.
New Jersey's chapter of the Anti-Defamation League tweeted Sunday, saying that town officials, residents and community leaders "must offer full throated condemnation of this anti-Semitic attack."

Depression:The Comedy – A Tale of Perseverance is a mental health memoir – a funny book about sadness, if you will – written by comedian Jessica Holmes.
In a nutshell: if you have ever suffered from depression, or known someone who has (I think I just covered everyone there) then you should read this book.
While recounting her own experiences with depression, Jessica made me LOL several times, which is unusual for me. I am more of a smiler/silent laugher when I find something funny, which is not at all a sign of my level of uptightness, by the way. Or fine, maybe it is.
“I can’t handle this” had become my mantra, even though we actually had a delightful nanny who helped with the cooking and cleaning, so my rantings were inaccurate on top of hysterical. And perhaps that’s why I avoided opening up to my friends. They tried to be supportive but they were also confused because I shouldn’t be unwell. They had tangible problems: a breakup, a layoff, a kid who bites. My problems were invisible and/or unrelatable.
While I don’t believe I have ever suffered from diagnosable depression, I feel I can relate to Jessica as a person in many ways, for example her introversion: “My point is, I’m most comfortable being squished together and simultaneously left alone. I do love people, just indirectly…One of my favourite things to do is have half a dozen friends over and not talk to them – just eavesdrop on all of their conversations while I cook dinner. Everyone saunters over to ask, ‘Can I help?’ and I say, ‘No thanks. Just keep chatting with each other,’ like someone who doesn’t want their favourite TV show interrupted.” Yes! This!
I also have to add, without throwing a certain movie companion of mine under the bus, that I got a particular laugh out of her mention of smuggling treats into the theatre, including this one time she happened to have elk meat in her purse (as one does): “An old, greasy, cured meat smell wafted up quickly and aggressively, exaggerated by the lack of refrigeration, causing a few patrons in neighbouring seats to complain loudly.” This makes my companion’s smuggled-in Subway sub with extra onions seem like a pleasant aroma (though our fellow movie-goers at the time may have begged to differ).
Back to the depression: Jessica describes in practical terms what works for her, and these points (along with her explanations) may be quite helpful not only to those suffering from depression but any of us looking for happiness and fulfillment.
Not keeping up with the Joneses. Or the Heffernans. Or anyone.

Disclosure: I was provided with a copy of this book for review purposes. Opinions are, as always, my own.

Over 3,500 full arch immediate load implant cases have been completed using BioHPP®.
BioHPP® is the most widely used high performance polymer in dentistry. In contrast to other restorative materials, BioHPP® has inherent strength.
BioHPP® is an innovative material and forms the basis for permanent large span implant frameworks as well as individual abutments, on both fixed and removable implant restorations.
BioHPP® is ideally suited towards immediate restorations. The off peak shock absorbing qualities act as a protection for the implant, aiding osseo-integration. Soft tissue adhesion to BioHPP® is superior to that of alloys, including titanium, resulting in healthy, stable tissue.
bredent has developed BioHPP® together with visio.lign for use on demanding immediate load cases. It is known for its strength, durability and achieving higher bond strengths to that of conventional metal ceramic bridges.
Patients respond favourably to BioHPP® due to its light weight, colour, and bio inert nature.
BioHPP® does not limit your options with other restorative materials! It can be finished conventionally using visio.lign composite, ceramic (individual bonded crowns) or wrap around acrylic.

This year’s Rodney Dangerfield Award goes to Lamar Miller. Yes, 2013 was disappointing, but Miller’s 2015 Keeper League Startup ADP on MyFantasyLeague is RB23 – downright disrespectful.
At first I thought there might be a bug on the site, but after searching high and low, I was unable to find any dynasty ADP for Miller that placed him higher than RB16. I don’t understand how a proven, young, healthy RB is lasting so long in dynasty startup drafts. Lamar Miller should be off the board by the 4th round in all formats.
In 2014, Lamar Miller achieved top-12 fantasy RB status for the first time in his three-year career. In PPR formats, Miller finished the season as fantasy’s No. 9 RB, ahead of perennial fantasy stalwart LeSean McCoy who carried the ball nearly 100 more times than Miller (McCoy: 312 carries, Miller: 216).
Miller was also an efficiency all-star in 2014, posting a noteworthy 5.1 yards per carry; good for second best amongst all running backs. Only the 29-year-old Justin Forsett had a higher YPC, aided by his preposterous 17 rushes of 20 yards or more.
There is a strong correlation between the run-blocking ability of an offensive line and fantasy RB scoring. DeMarco Murray handily took 2014’s rushing title, amassing nearly 400 carries behind PlayerProfiler’s #2 overall run-blocking offensive line. Given that running back talent and offensive line run-blocking ability both contribute to rushing production, Lamar Miller must be incredibly talented. In fact, Miller had his best two games of the season in weeks 16 and 17, after Pro Bowl LT Branden Albert had gone down with a torn ACL. PFF identified the 2014 Dolphins offensive line as the 6th worst run-blocking line in the NFL after Albert’s injury.
The Dolphins’ offensive line should be better in 2015. Branden Albert should be fully recovered from his season-ending week 10 knee injury. Their line, which featured four brand-new starters in 2014, will have had another year to acclimate and learn how to better operate as one cohesive unit. Improved run-blocking puts 5.5 yards per carry (YPC) well within Miller’s range of outcomes in 2015.
This is a running back with elite speed and very good agility.
Miller’s spectacular 116.3 speed score factors in both his sizable 218 lbs. and his blistering 4.40 combine 40 time (which would have been the fastest time for any RB in this year’s rookie class). Out of the top 30 RBs from 2014, only #28 Jonathan Stewart and #24 Knile Davis had higher speed scores. No slouch in lateral quickness, Miller also turned in a sub-7-second 3-cone time, which added to his impressive agility score.
This rare combination of size, speed, and agility contributed to Miller’s rushing success despite the horrendous performance from his offensive line. PFF named Miller their 5th best pure-runner in 2014, displaying more effective rushing than Eddie Lacy, Jamaal Charles, or Arian Foster.
Despite 2015 being his fourth season, Lamar Miller is only 24 years old. He just had a birthday, too. Entering his fourth(!) season, Lamar Miller will be the same age as incoming rookie “Buck” Allen. Top RBs have been able to produce RB1 seasons deep into their 20’s, and Lamar has steadily improved in each of his NFL seasons. He’s only getting better. As an added bonus, his limited touches have left plenty of tread on his tires. He’s like Jamaal Charles without the non-contact injuries!
Athletically, he and Miller aren’t even on the same planet. Jay has burst, it’s true, but only a handful of players in the entire NFL can match Lamar’s stellar speed score.
Yes, I saw his highlights. Yes, I was wowed by his dreidel-like spins, his awesome balance, and his cool hair. The J-Train is fun to watch, but he is no reason to avoid Lamar Miller. Why? Because even if he were a Miller-level athlete, and even if he weren’t playing on a degraded knee joint, there are plenty of rushing attempts to go around in Miami this season.
In 2014, the Dolphins rushed 399 times. Only 216 of those went to Lamar Miller, who is treated like your dad’s secondhand sports car (driven gently, weekends only). If we assume that Miller will keep his carries, and Ryan Tannehill will scramble on occasion, that still leaves over 100 rushes that used to belong to Knowshon Moreno, Daniel Thomas, and Damien Williams. Consider that Miller, a higher draft pick in 2012, was given only 52 carries in his rookie season. Even if Miami gives their bone-on-bone fifth-round rookie RB twice the carries their current starter received in his rookie year, Miller will have plenty to eat in 2015.
Unlike many running backs, Lamar doesn’t need a ton of carries to be a useful fantasy rusher.
Miami added pass-catching weapons in Devante Parker, Kenny Stills, and Jordan Cameron. The addition of Parker alone would be a vast improvement for their receiving corps, but if Cameron can stay healthy, he is only one season removed from top-tier TE production. 2015’s Dolphins will feature a dynamic passing attack under Chip Kelly disciple Bill Lazor.
Despite losing Mike Wallace and Charles Clay, the Dolphins have bolstered their receivers, which will force defenses to respect the passing game and leave Lamar and Co. an RB-friendly front to run against.
In the extremely unlikely event that Lamar is somehow usurped by the running-on-borrowed-time Jay Ajayi, he’s still a fantastic dynasty investment. Miller is a free agent in 2016. He will be only 25 years old. He has already demonstrated that he can deliver productive seasons behind a below-average offensive line.
After Branden Albert went down, only five teams had worse run-blocking scores than Miami in the second half of the 2014 season. Yet, Lamar Miller’s two most productive weeks were week 16 and week 17. The five teams with worse run blocking offensive lines were RB wastelands: Atlanta, Arizona, Buffalo, Oakland, and San Diego. Of the running backs on these teams, only Fred Jackson even cracked the RB2 rankings. Regardless of how Miami’s offensive line performs in 2015, Miller’s ability to produce behind a sub-par offensive line enhances his lifetime value dynasty leagues.
Top-10 RB production in the books? Check!
Quality receiving options to keep defenses honest? Check!
That is a dynasty league RB23? That ADP is behind a slew of ancient and high-mileage RBs in Marshawn, Arian Foster, Matt Forte and Adrian Peterson. Lamar Miller is also being selected after players who were not even the RB1 on their own team in 2014, such as Gio Bernard. Miller is actually being drafted behind Jacksonville’s unproven T.J. Yeldon, and Washington’s slow-and-steady Alfred Morris. Incredible.
Bottom line: Lamar Miller is the best-value incumbent running back in dynasty league fantasy football.

In most cases where a claimant wishes to pursue a professional for negligence compensation, the case will be brought in contract. We live in world of regulations and agreements, so contracts are very much the norm in formalising the relationship of obligations and duties between professional and client.
However, in some cases where a contract does not exist or does not adequately cover the area of negligence being claimed for, it may be possible to bring about a claim in tort.
In most cases in order to claim in tort it will be necessary to claim that there has been some significant financial loss. However, it can be difficult to ascertain a definition of what this means.
Precedent for pursing a professional for negligence compensation in tort, for economic loss, is derived from a number of sources of case law.
One important case is Storey v Charles Church Developments. In this case it was found that the claimant had reasonably relied on a statement given outside of the contract.
However, this case contradicted earlier decisions, such as Murphy v Brentwood District Council, where in superficially similar circumstances the defendant was found not to be liable for statements made outside of the contract.
Furthermore, it may be possible to claim in tort in the event that a claimant does not, nor indeed has ever had, a formalized or contractual relationship with the defendant.
For example, in Baxall Securities v Sheard Walshaw Partnership, an architect was found liable for the financial loss suffered by a claimant as a result of a defectively designed guttering system. Because the claimant had purchased the building in question from the client’s architect rather than having any formal relationship with the architect, it had been necessary for the claim to be made in tort.
In contract the Limitation Act 1980 imposes a strict limitation for claiming within six to 12 years of the breach of contract. However, in tort, this period is extended, in many cases, to a period of 15 years.
For clear advice about pursuing a professional for negligence compensation – your rights, options and chances of success – talk to Healys LLP professional negligence lawyers today.
We are in London and Brighton and have helped claimants secure damages from all types of professionals, including architects, accountants, barristers, financial advisors, and valuers.

I fully confess to loving anything wrapped in pastry. Sweet, savory, a little of both - all fine with me if it's wrapped in either homemade dough, store bought puff pastry sheets or crispy, crunchy fillo sheets. I wouldn't last long on a carb free diet, OK?
One thing I really like about working with fillo is how quickly and easily I can make a tart. Yes, it seems intimidating and I thought so too when I first started. But once I accepted that it's meant to break and crumble and be imperfect, I realized how simple it is. Just brush each layer with oil or butter, fill it with delicious things and bake.
I found some beautiful multi-colored cherry tomatoes in the market and knew I wanted to roast them with some za'atar. So why not go ahead and turn it into a tart. The feta cream is easy to make in a little food processor and although it's crazy salty on it's own, it balances perfectly with the sweet tomatoes. Enjoy!
Note that if you're using frozen fillo pastry sheets, place them in the refrigerator overnight to thaw.
Add the feta cheese, cream cheese, za'atar and dried oregano to a food processor along with one tablespoon of the milk. Puree until smooth, adding an additional tablespoon of milk if needed to get a creamy texture. Note that the mixture will be quite salty but it will also provide the seasoning for the pastry and tomatoes.
Gently brush a layer of fillo pastry with the melted butter or olive oil, top with another layer and repeat until all the layers are done.
Spread the feta cheese mixture over the top layer of fillo, leaving about a 1 1/2" border on all sides. Slice or quarter the tomatoes, depending on their size, and spread on top of the feta cheese mixture. Fold up the sides of the filo to create a rectangular tart with an edge. Make sure to brush any exposed dough with some of the melted butter or olive oil.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 45 minutes or until the pastry is a light golden brown. Finish by topping with the chopped fresh parsley.

There are the rivalries that infect the heart, never to be repeated. If you loved the Brooklyn Dodgers then you hated the Giants. And here, if you cheer for Magallanes, then you despise Caracas.
Edgardo Alfonzo, the Mets' rising star, is the third baseman for Magallanes, the team situated in this city, and for years, his older brother Edgar played for Caracas -- the big brother of all cities in Venezuela, the capital, a two-hour drive east of here. The Alfonzos competed ferociously in the winter league, feeding the feud.
In that crucible, Edgardo Alfonzo developed the skills that have turned him into a budding star in New York, the major market in the major leagues. He hit .315 last season, ranked second in the National League with a .417 batting average with runners in scoring position, and finished second in Gold Glove Award voting, behind San Diego's Ken Caminiti. Eligible for salary arbitration this winter, he is in a position to make a great deal of money. In large measure, he has Edgar and the rivalry with his brother to thank for that.
In one game between Magallanes and Caracas, Edgardo charged a slow grounder hit by his brother, fielded it near the mound and threw spectacularly to first for the out, glancing pointedly at Edgar afterward.
An inning or two later, Edgardo slammed a line drive destined for the left-field corner, until speared by Edgar Alfonzo, the Caracas diving third baseman.
Having restored order, Edgar grinned, and Caracas fans excitedly waved their flags and blew into noisemakers. They understood the feud: Caracas vs. Magallanes, Edgar vs. Edgardo. But they could not see all the layers in the dense relationship between rival siblings.
''It's something that's hard to put into words,'' said Edgardo, the youngest of four Alfonzo children, sitting last week in Villa Madrid, a restaurant here.
Edgar, the first-born, came along in 1967, the year after his parents met and married, in a case of love at first sight. Edgar Alfonzo Sr. was on a job when he met Mercedes Pino, and in spite of the objections of her mother, they married within four months. Edgar Sr. drove a truck for a medical supplier, keeping him away from home in the small town of Miranda (population: 1,000) until late at night, or a week or two at a time.
He casually followed the careers of the best Venezuelan baseball players, such as Luis Aparicio and Vic Davalillo, but he did not play the game. Rather, he played jacks, gambling for money as a teen-ager. Baseball, he thought, was something only tots should play, certainly not a prospective vocation.
For growing boys, baseball was a waste of valuable time, he thought, a lure away from school and the education that could prove pivotal in their lives. The children of Edgar and Mercedes would concentrate on their school and go to a university; he would see to that.
But Edgar Jr. could not forget about baseball, and when his father's job took him out of Miranda, the boy would sneak off to play. Mercedes Alfonzo knew what her oldest son was doing, but never told her husband. When Edgar Sr. returned from work, Edgar could only sit home and wince over the thought of his friends playing nearby.
But the periods of inactivity hardly dulled his skills. By the time he was 14, Edgar was playing baseball with young adults, 20 or 21 years old, and one afternoon, before an important game, a handful of them went to the Alfonzo house to speak with Edgar Sr. Your son is a very good player, one of them told the father, and you should come watch him play today.
Edgar Sr. agreed, and the boy, distracted by the presence of his father and feeling as if this was a one-day audition, struck out three times. He returned home crestfallen, certain that his father would be furious.
''I know you were nervous because I was there,'' Edgar Sr. told his son, and they made a deal: Edgar Jr. had one year to prove himself. If he could not, he would quit baseball for good and then concentrate on school. Attending a game shortly thereafter, Edgar Sr. found himself being pestered by a friend convinced of Edgar's greatness. His friend bet Edgar Sr. that the boy would hit a home run that day, and when Edgar did so, his father lost a six pack of beer. Happily.
Within three years, Edgar Jr. signed a contract to play for Caracas. The first time the skinny teen-ager appeared on television in Miranda, Edgardo could hear his neighbors yelling in their houses, shouting, laughing. Asked last week about the moment, their father paused, his eyes watering. ''My first son,'' he said in Spanish, before looking down.
Pride surged through Edgardo, then 11 years old, tempered by concern for his brother's success. ''I was hoping nobody would hit a ball to him,'' Edgardo recalled.
To Edgardo, who was still playing in the sandlots, his older brother was a hero, someone to emulate. They had always been close. On those rare moments they bickered, their father would admonish them. You must not fight, Edgar Sr. would say. You are brothers.
Edgar signed with the California Angels when he was 17, and his departure for the United States was traumatic, with all the Alfonzos gathered at the airport in Caracas. He called home three times his first day away, homesick, but, his father recalled, he sounded both sad and excited. Edgar was pursuing his dream.
He would return to Miranda every fall, sharing his used equipment and experience with his two brothers. Even when Edgardo was little, Edgar was sure his little brother would be a great player. He remembers watching Edgardo play a Little League game when he was 11. Twice Edgardo stopped grounders with a dive and rose to make wicked throws, and the line drives off his bat generated a peculiar sound.
Edgar gradually climbed through the minors, establishing himself as a useful utility player. But his batting average fluctuated, injuries hampered him, and he did not have the speed to steal bases or the power to hit home runs consistently. In 1990, he had 2 hits in 11 at-bats for Class AAA Edmonton, and thereafter, his career bogged down in the minor leagues.
His kid brother, Edgardo, playing shortstop and second base, turned 17 in 1990, and thought about signing with Caracas. Edgar, then 23, encouraged him to consider all his options. Another team would have more opportunity; Caracas had a logjam of older players. Edgardo signed to play with Magallanes in Venezuela, and with the Mets in the United States. Edgar bragged to his manager with Caracas, Phil Regan, that Edgardo would be a terrific player.
That summer, Tamargo said, it became apparent Edgardo would be a good major league player or better.
That summer, Edgar realized that his career might stall in the minor leagues or worse. He was playing for Class AA Bowie, in the Baltimore organization, in the same league as his brother. The first time Bowie played at Binghamton, Edgar went to Edgardo's small, shared apartment for dinner.
Edgar Alfonzo, now 30, lives with his wife and children in Texas, and departed Monday to play in Taiwan. After three major league seasons, Edgardo Alfonzo, now 24, is a celebrity in Venezuela, his stature approaching that of Andres Galarraga of the Atlanta Braves. The first time Alfonzo played for Magallanes this season, fans at Jose Bernardo Perez Stadium stood and cheered. At the Villa Madrid, patrons and waiters occasionally interrupt him as he discusses Edgar.

How are the tracks and teams determined for the semifinals?
The 16 semifinalist teams are selected from their scores in the qualifying round. Semifinal plans are then seeded into four tracks with a goal of achieving balanced tracks across all teams.
How are teams selected for the finals competition?
One semifinalist team from each track will advance to the final round. During the semifinal round, a combined score of business plan, presentation, and venture viability are used to evaluate which team will advance. Ultimately judges deliberate after the last presentation and come to a consensus on which team will move forward. This decision is made separately from any other judging track and judges do not know other teams that will be moving forward.
What is the role of the moderator in each session?
The NVC uses moderators to enforce the strict time limits approved for presentations and Q&A. Moderators do not participate in the judging process, but are available for points of clarification for both teams and judges.
What if our PowerPoint doesn’t function correctly?
Unfortunately, PowerPoint—like any other computer or computer software—is subject to malfunction. NVC provides technical assistance and ample opportunity to check presentations prior to the competition. There will be backup InFocus projectors for emergencies. We also suggest you have a contingency plan beyond a new projector.
How do you select judges?
Our judges are drawn from a diverse population of entrepreneurs, service providers, angel and NVC investors, and seasoned business executives. Each panel is formed to create a well-balanced team of individuals that has a broad understanding of the process of evaluating new venture opportunities.
Who is responsible for making hotel arrangements?
Each team that is invited to the seminal round is responsible for making their own hotel reservations. NVC negotiates special rates for our participants at a host hotel and we encourage teams to register there. You are welcome to seek out other arrangements on your own but realize you will be separated from the majority of event participants.
Do you accept paper copies of the business plan?
No. NVC is a paperless submission competition, all business plan documents must be uploaded. The plans must be uploaded by the business plan due date and must be submitted as a single document in a printable PDF format.
Can we bring product prototypes for the competition?
Yes, you may bring prototypes for the competition and they may be displayed at the opening night trade show; however, all related costs are the responsibility of the team.
You mandate that the business plan length plus appendix can only be 16 pages. Why?
Plans are limited to 10 pages of text. Detailed spreadsheets and appropriate appendices can follow the text portion of the plan but will be limited to six pages (total 16 pages). Plans must be formatted in 1.5 line spacing with 1 inch, bottom, left, and right margins. This line spacing and font requirement applies to the textual content of the document and not to titles and descriptions accompanying pictures, graphs, tables, worksheets, or graphics. NVC’s requirements are designed to reflect a typical request to provide information to an angel or venture finance based investor.
Is a faculty advisor necessary?
Yes. As stated in the rules of eligibility, all entries must be prepared under faculty supervision and for credit in a regularly scheduled course or as an independent study. We also strongly urge the faculty advisor to attend the competition.
What are the limitations on the tradeshow display?
You are welcome to make your display as "fancy" as you’d like. We have no restrictions on how much money you invest into this project; that is simply your prerogative as well as your expense. However, presentation space is limited to the tabletop of one six-foot long table. The hotel does not allow teams to hang anything up on the walls. Teams will have the opportunity to rent easels (maximum of two), extension cords, and other equipment from the hotel.
Do the team members receive the cash prize or does it go to back to our school?
We can issue a check directly to any team that has formed a business entity for tax purposes and provides us with a completed W-9.
For those teams who have not formed a business, award checks will be issued directly to your university itself. Each individual university is free to determine how the prize money is allocated. We suggest you talk to your advisor or other university personnel to determine their policies regarding this issue.
Who pays for the airfare and the hotel?
Your team (or university) is responsible. Check with your school since many universities may have funds set aside for these off-campus, academic events.
How does my business idea stay protected? Does everyone sign confidentiality agreements?
NVC, as well as most investment competitions, do not have a non-disclosure policy. However, your team may elect to modify to protect specific intellectual property.
Is a computer provided for the competition or do we bring our own?
Teams must provide their own laptop computers for the competition. NVC will NOT provide laptops for the participant teams.
Team laptops must be equipped with a standard video connection.

I’m here for the week.” She wiggled away and stood directly in front of him. She parted her lips and put on a sultry stare. Sadie took hold of his heart.
“You look more stunning than ever tonight.” Vince kept his voice low.
Then, he acted on impulse. He placed his hands on the sides of her face. When she responded with a smile, he couldn’t resist another minute. His heart soared as he gazed down at her. Sadie uttered a soft moan as their lips met. She reached up and placed her arms around his neck, quivered slightly, and nestled up against him, as if she’d wanted him to kiss her all along. His knees weakened as he sampled the sweet peach lip-gloss on her soft, luscious lips.
As he savored each moment, his heart pounded in his ears. If he didn’t break free, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself. He was afraid to open his eyes to find it was all a dream. Vince tried to keep his cool as his breathing sped up like he’d run a marathon. His head spun with thoughts of making love to this amazing woman. Oh, how he wanted to show her how much she meant to him, but he’d wait. One thing he had learned from the way his father had treated his mother was to respect a woman. Sadie deserved so much more. Once their tender moment ended, he stood back, lost in her gaze.
“I’m crazy about you, Sadie. I always have been, but if I’m going too fast, please stop me.” He spoke close to her ear. Vince ran his finger along her cheek and gently lifted her chin. “We met up again this many miles away from Jersey for a reason.” He pushed a strand of her silky, blonde hair away from her beautiful eyes.
She gave him a seductive stare and devilish smirk, which was out of character for Sadie, but he liked it. She had always been warm and friendly, but not the kind of girl who’d make a first move. Although, she did mention how her cancer scare changed her views on life. Whatever the reason for exposing her sensual side, it was certainly working in his favor.

I am using PHPStorm IDE Version 1.0 for Windows. While using the CSS Editor, I tried to shift some lines of code using Ctrl + Shift + Up/Down. That shifted the lines of code alright.
But, the side-effect was that it indented the other lines with the same indentation as the first line of the code being shifted.
I have attached the image of the slight mischief being caused. Can somebody tell me how can I turn off this auto-format setting?
If you move attribute lines into a selector the will again formatter properly, but during the move while hopping in between the selectors all top level editor rules will be applied - including selector-level formatting and error highlighting. Just finish move into your target rule.

'The [FIM] gave its OK looking at the part and saying, 'if you say it's for cooling the tyre, then I think it's OK'. I think we need to raise the level' - Massimo Rivola, Aprilia.
As the wait continues for a verdict from the MotoGP Court of Appeal regarding Ducati's swingarm spoiler used in Qatar, Aprilia has further explained its opposition to the device.
The factory joined Honda, Suzuki and KTM in filing the initial (rejected) protest against the Ducati part, subsequently elevated to the Court of Appeal.
Aprilia are adamant the part should not be allowed since they were previously told a device in that area (which is not covered by the fairing 'Aero Body' rules) could only be used for water deflection and they are certain it creates downforce.
"We were clearly told that a device fitted in that area should not have an aerodynamic purpose, and would have been taken off if it was dry. So we stopped thinking about anything in that area," technical director Romano Albesiano said at the weekend's Aprilia All Stars event.
"We were really surprised that a wing fitted in that area was allowed."
After the final pre-season test in Qatar new guidelines were issued to the teams, but Albesiano said these still excluded downforce parts mounted on the swingarm.
"It was clearly said that a device fitted in that location should not be designed to create downforce. Downforce is one of the aerodynamic effects mentioned, and the purpose of downforce is grip. A wing creates downforce," he said.
On just how much downforce it might create, Albesiano replied: "We did the virtual wind tunnel testing, so called CFD, computational fluid dynamics. We simulated this device in straight line conditions, braking conditions.
"We have figures on the downforce, the drag, and the cooling effect that this device can give. I'm not sure I can give numbers, but from the downforce point of view, it's not negligible, it's something that can make a difference in performance.
"And when the range of riders is separated by hundredths of a second, even a few kilograms of downforce can be a help and make the difference.
"We still hope that the guidelines will be applied and this device will be banned for the future. Otherwise, if it is allowed, we could do something [similar] based on our experience."
New Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola suggested that the FIM had taken Ducati's word on the 'tyre cooling' purpose of the device too easily.
"So far the Federation allowed and gave its OK looking at the part and saying, 'if you say it's for cooling the tyre, then I think it's OK'. I think we need to raise the level. When we say about professionalism? Yes, this for me is something which is not acceptable. And I think you can't disagree, to be honest."
As far as a preferred outcome for the protest, Rivola again stated that Andrea Dovizioso should keep his victory.
"We never asked for the race result to be different than it was. Even at the time of the protest and the appeal, that was clear, at least to Aprilia," he said.
"I don't expect something to change in the very short term, but I expect that everybody understands that there is a need for some clarification [in the rules]. I think that the fact that we made this fuss at the first race, I think it's better to do it straight away.
"From my experience in Formula 1, if we decide to go to the aerodynamic field, it will cost a fortune to everybody. Probably for a very little gain, especially in the areas which are now free, like that one attached where it is. And even more, it is very difficult to police."
But as Albesiano pointed out, hundredths of a second makes a difference in the MotoGP classification, meaning even the smallest of gains must be pursued. The Qatar race was won by 0.023s, with the top five riders covered by 0.6s.
The Court of Appeal verdict is due to be announced sometime before this weekend's Argentina MotoGP.

I work with some students at a university, where a dance team is putting on a burlesque-themed show. Granted, it’s a large club on campus, and must do all-ages shows as part of their charter. When I was asked by a student to consult on the show I refused. I did so on the grounds that the world I choose to take part of in Boston is a varied and demanding one, both technically and artistically. I sent an e-mail back to the student including a list of YouTube links to show the range of what burlesque really was, and to show that what they were looking to do was not real burlesque in my opinion.
A group of dancers in "revealing" clothing is simply a dance routine in costume -- a recital to show off the talents of the dancers. This is what the students are putting on.
Axe to Ice, through Bent Wit, put on a cabaret with a burlesque twist. Their shows truly bring a great many artists, from many walks of life, into an collaborative environment. They string many unrelated acts into a cohesive show through comedy, video, music, dance, striptease, and performance art.
Rogue Burlesque ties story lines together through troupe and individual skits spotlighting the talents of individual members, as well as inviting other troupes to perform as guests within their shows. Rogue likes to spotlight amateur and up-and-coming performers, and seek new talent and new looks while defining their own role in the market.
Black Cat Burlesque explores the darker and more twisted side of the human psyche and sexuality through the burlesque of its performers. This group likes to take dark, twisted, and even toilet humor to a whole new extreme while still being visually stunning and sensual.
The Glitter Bombs is a new troupe that brings a hip-hop base of dance style with group performances, and pop and hip hop music with burlesque teases and choreography, adding an urban beat to an old art.
Babes in Boinkland looks to bring sensuality and well choreographed modern and ballet into high- energy dance routines.
Sugar Coated Productions brings highly polished, high-production-value shows of political or philosophical nature to the main stage. This group produces shows such as Slutcracker and Beaver. The former is a burlesque ballet (as a start), while the latter is a grotesque of the modern political structure through a scripted musical intermixing stand-up comedy, burlesque dance, and theater dialogue.
Each group does "burlesque." However, seeing one group does not mean you have seen it all. Much in the way having seen a modern dance show does not mean you have seen Alvin Ailey, experiencing only one of the many flavors of the art in Boston does not expose yourself to the amazing smorgasbord that is Boston burlesque.
As burlesque gains popularity and traction in Boston, I hope the general public can gain a taste for the genius and truly remarkable art that is created, and gains a thirst to experience the many flavors coming out of our region, and eventually the same love of experiencing the craft that I feel every time I stand behind the console and look out over the talent I am blessed to be a part of on those stages.

Last weekend was truly miserable weather wise, which made it the perfect weekend for sewing. Firstly I finished off the latest round of the Brit Bee medallions, then I made a bag, and then I had to sit down and write up pattern stuff for said bag.
I also attempted to finally learn how to use my Wacom tablet (that I got in the Boxing Day sales) in Illustrator. That was, um, painful! I learned a number of frustrating things, such as the fact that you can’t use it to trace over something you’ve drawn, because the scale is totally off, and that you can’t rest the side of your hand on the tablet like you would when drawing with a pencil on paper, and that there’s a whole bunch of functions I’ve never touched before in Illustrator that suddenly needed to come into play. I think I’d rather arrogantly assumed it would be easier than it actually was, and there was a moment that it nearly flew out the window!
Go to another Commonwealth Games training session. This week it’s venue specific training – I’m working at Tollcross Pool, my training will be at Hampden Park (that’s the national football stadium for those not in the know!) I’m not sure how specific this can be!
With the amount of rain we've had recently, Hampden might turn out to be the perfect venue for your training.
Your secret squirrel fabrics are lovely. I love your new red bag!! The fabric is so pretty yet bold and eye catching.
Maybe Hampden is the next Eton Dorney.
Your bag and secret squirrel fabrics look wonderful. Thats two finishes this week. You're batting high!
I love to see this bag…about to come up with something very similar (I hope!)…if I put it off much longer, I may well need your pattern 🙂 Good luck with the tech thingy!!!! My money is on you!!!
I had heard those tablets were a challenge to learn to use at first, but that it does becomes more natural over time. I would have a hard time not resting my hand on the tablet while drawing though. I hope it gets more intuitive!
Love the fabrics you pulled.
I love that buttery yellow fabric you have. It looks gorgeous. Good luck learning your gadget.
Look at your awesome bag! Love the red floral print!
Gorgeous bag, I love that fabric!!
Would the naughty tablet be why there's a long wait to see the AI project?
I think you're gonna win, but I bet he'll come out with a few scratches and dents, too.

“The thing that is most gripping about the SDGs is their desire to be much more transformative in terms of what they mean for the planet,” says Manish Bapna, executive vice president and managing director of the World Resources Institute, in this week’s podcast.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are set to succeed the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), an initiative commissioned by the United Nations in 2000 to tackle extreme poverty in the developing world.
Much has changed in the years since the MDG’s initial conception. “As we look at eradicating extreme poverty moving forward, we’re working in more difficult political and environmental contexts than may have been the case in the last 15 years,” says Bapna. The distinction between developed and developing countries is less relevant.
The sheer complexity of that challenge has led to a more multidisciplinary approach. An intergovernmental body, called the Open Working Group, has been working to draft new goals since 2012 and at last count had reached 17 goals and 169 targets.
“This is voluntary normative framework,” Bapna says, “it only works if people truly, truly embrace it and integrate it into what they do.” The agenda must be meaningful for the poorest countries; emerging middle income countries, like China, India, and Brazil; and the United States and the rest of the developed world.
Manish Bapna spoke at the Wilson Center on March 18 as part the “Managing Our Planet” seminar series.

Welcome to Bright Lights Big City, a public relations and lifestyle blog. These are my views on PR and life, as well as the odd blog about my current adventures.
My name is Rebecca and I first knew I wanted to be in PR when I started doing promotions and talent handling for a successful nightclub in 2008. It’s here where I held my first event, a fashion show which attracted the attention of the UK heads of Levi’s, Karen Millen and Wonderbra, when I knew public relations was for me.
Since 2009 I have worked in PR gaining experience in a wide range of industries, from working on an international sailing race to a prestige global beauty house in the heart of London. I’m now working for a boutique agency based on the South Coast of England that deals with a range of clients including one of the largest house builders in the UK and a prestigious classic and super car show.
This hands on experience is also supported by a PR Masters with Merit from Southampton Solent, one of the UK’s top creative universities and PR studies at the London College of Fashion.
I’ll keep you posted about my adventures, advice and inspiration, but if you want to know more please don’t hesitate to ask by using the comments box below.
Aww thanks so much – you too!
Congratulations, Rebecca. Count me in the next group of 100 followers.

You can be sure that all your guests will want to buy you a wedding gift on your special day. Many couples are now opting to have an online gift list, mixing and matching items from different suppliers, as well as a traditional wedding gift list, which would usually be held by a department store local to you in near Royal Tunbridge Wells. If you're not sure you need any new household items, consider the increasing number of alternative gift lists, which allow guests to make donations to the charity of your choice.

The focus of my undergraduate degree was predominantly on environmental and climate sciences, sustainable development, and physical geography. My program was unique in the fact that it was self-directed yet designed to produce well-rounded students who are passionate about what they learn and capable of crossing interdisciplinary boundaries. Through this interdisciplinary exposure, I became interested in a deeper understanding of the sustainability of food and biomass production systems and the biogeochemical cycling of these systems associated with urban waste and agriculture sectors.
Many human activities such as agriculture and waste management alter natural biogeochemical cycles. In many cases, they create linear flows of nutrients that can be energy intensive and lead to negative impacts on surrounding ecosystems. I am interested in exploring ways to transform these linear flows into more circulative ones. Alternative organic waste management strategies, such as composting and anaerobic digestion, are promising because through these processes, waste material is converted into a resource, natural biogeochemical cycles are enhanced, and greenhouse gas emissions may even be reduced.
My thesis research aims to develop a model that can estimate existing nutrient flows on the island of Montreal associated with agriculture and organic waste, identifying control (or leverage) points where technological or policy tools could be most effectively applied, and assess how those flows may be altered by the implementation of a policy which bans the disposal of organic waste to landfills.
Skiing, yoga, traveling, cooking, reading … and I would be lying if I didn’t include Netflix.

There are six tunnels on the Rimutaka Incline route between Upper Hutt and Featherston. This section of railway was closed in 1955 when the Rimutaka Deviation opened.
In 2017 there is easy public access to five of the six disused tunnels. The sixth is Cruickshanks, the closest to Upper Hutt. Cruickshanks Tunnel is hidden in the hills and the track bed is partially overgrown. Access to the tunnel is not particularly difficult but it is not signposted.
The purpose of this page is to explain how to get to Cruickshanks tunnel.
Caution: The land is privately owned. In 2017 part of the land was offered for sale.
This page is in a state of transition - from providing information about the rail tunnel to documenting what I have called the Cruickshank's Saddle Historical Area.
Mangaroa Valley portal of Cruickshanks Tunnel. Looking towards Upper Hutt (2008).
My research has revealed that this is an important historical site with links going back to the New Zealand Land Company (which pre-dated the New Zealand Company). It has revealed the ponzi like scheme operated by the New Zealand Company. An 1850s water race and water tunnel and an 1876 rail tunnel are extant. Part of a pre-1876 tramway formation is visible. I have decided to refer to the area as Cruickshank's Saddle Historic Area because there is more to it than a rail tunnel.
Note that some pdf readers may not read these files correctly. I have a Linux system so cannot test Windows or Mac. If you have a problem you may need to experiment to find a reader that works correctly. I do not know if the problem is the pdf generator or the reader.
My research has revealed that this is an important historical site with links going back to the New Zealand Land Company (which pre-dated the New Zealand Company).
I plan to completely rewrite this page with the results of my research. I need to split the page into two parts - present day access and the historical aspects.
This Crown Grant was issued to the Hon Henry William Petre in 1853. The land - section 124 Hutt (Cruickshanks Road area) - was part of the Port Nicholson Block. Before coming into Petre's possession it had already been in the hands of the NZ Land Company, David Ramsay (Gentleman in London), the NZ Company and the Crown. To put things into perspective NZ introduced Responsible Government in 1852.
David Ramsay, Gentleman, was issued with land order 738 by the NZ Land Company in 1839. He was allocated the 100 acre country section 124 Hutt and the 1 acre town section 442 by 1847.
David Ramsay's bankers went bankrupt. Ramsay sold his New Zealand land land holdings to the New Zealand Company for 300 pounds.The opportunity was taken to bring the land under the Conveyancing Act 1842 (5 Victoriae 1842 No 10) . Included in the act was An Ordinance to facilitate the Transfer of Real Property and to simplify the Law relating thereto .
The New Zealand Company received financial assistance frrom the British Government but in 1850 failed and its land became Crown demesne land.
In 1853 Petre claimed under the An Ordinance to ascertain the Contracts and Engagements entered into by the New Zealand Company for the disposal of certain Lands in the Islands of New Zealand, and to provide for the completion of such Contracts and Engagements by the Colonial Government. He received Crown Grant number 53 for section 124 Hutt. Note that at this time construction of the water tunnel (not on section 124) was probably underway.
In 1869 James Duff Cruickshank purchased that part of section 124 from the main Wairarapa road west to the Hutt River (14 acres).
In 1876 the Governer of NZ issued a memorial for the Wellington - Napier Railway.
1903 Colley and Another sold the land to J D Cruickshank (junior?). Did Colley acquire the land from Petre's estate.
Here is the text of a comment I have added to the Upper Hutt Library Recollect site. All statements below can be verified by source material.
In my opinion "Cruickshank's Hill" is a heritage site and should be preserved. In 1857 a water tunnel was built to take water to what was then called the the Fernground Saw Mill. In 1875 a rail tunnel was built. The rail tunnel was at a higher level than the water tunnel and crossed it near the western end of the rail tunnel. The water tunnel was replaced with a 3 ft brick culvert where the railway crossed it.
A weir in the Mungaroa River (as it was then called) directed water to the water tunnel. In 1921 it was proposed to use the water tunnel to supply a power station 200ft below on the floor of the Hutt Valley.
In 1881 the Railways Department built a dam in the water race (western side) to supply water to Upper Hutt Station via a pipe along the railway formation.
Near the western portal of the rail tunnel a bridge carried a tramway over the railway.
Both the rail tunnel and the water tunnel are extant, although the latter is silted up. It is possible that the dam in the water race still exists - I have a report of it being seen in the 1980s. It is also possible that parts of the tramway formation may exist above the rail tunnel portals provided they have not been destroyed by logging. Open sections of the water race are extant.
The entrance to the water tunnel was probably blocked when the Mangaroa Stream weir was removed and I have not located the exact location. However maps of the period narrow down the search area.
The railway formation is visible in the background so that would date the photo post 1874.
Phyllis McNab's statement Around 1876 the same tunnel was used to bring the railway through from the Upper Hutt incline is incorrect. There were two tunnels.
On Tuesday 14th March 2017 I visited Cruickshank's Tunnel via route 1. I made two important discoveries that help me explain the relationship between the railway tunnel, the water race to Cruickshanks's Mill and a water supply to Upper Hutt Staton.
I am waiting for some information about the Upper Hutt Station water feed before I publish my conclusions.
The next day I discovered in the National Archives two plans that may prove wrong Phyliss McNab's claim that "Around 1876 the same tunnel was used to bring the railway through from the Upper Hutt incline". I believe that the plans will prove that there were two tunnels, with the railway tunnel crossing over the water race tunnel near the western portal of the railway tunnel. Also I believe that during construction of the railway the water race was damaged and Cruickshank claimed damages. I hope that all will be confirmed when I visit the archives to view the plans.
I noticed that you had identified the brick-lined drainage tunnel running alongside the formation near the eastern end of Cruickshank's Tunnel as the original course of the water race that brought water down from Mangaroa Valley to James Cruickshank's mill. This claim was also made by J A Kelleher in his book 'Upper Hutt: The History', based on the recollection of a Phyllis McNab who lived contemporaneous with Cruickshank. Unfortunately, this claim is incorrect!
McNab's claim about the water race is included in a Mangaroa School jubilee booklet. She wrote Around 1876 the same tunnel was used to bring the railway through from the Upper Hutt incline.
A 1915 Trentham Camp Manoevre Area map shows a dam in the Mangaroa Stream near the eastern portal of Cruickshanks Tunnel. The dam was also shown in a 1929 map. Was this the location of the water race entrance?
A photo of Cruickshanks Mill circa 1870 shows that the mill was in operation after the railway had been constructed. This suggests that the water race was operational after the railway tunnel had been built.
Construction of Railways papers in AHJR (1871) include Rochfort's report into his proposed alignment of the Silverstream to Featherston railway. He wrote "I have completed the trial line from Featherston to the Hutt Valley, choosing an exit from the bush at Mr. Cruickshank's tunnel".
Plan of Water Race showing the relationship to the railway tunnel. Details to be added after I have viewed the plan at the National Archives. May also include details of damage to the water race.
In 2016 the Upper Hutt Leader published a story which stated that the local council planned to create a public track to the tunnel along the old formation. I do not have any other information about this project.
A 1958 aerial photo of the old formation can be viewed here. The large embankment that was destroyed when the Kingsley Heights subdivision was constructed is clearly visible.
I first wrote this page in 2003. In May 2016, following receipt of new information and in possession of a gps enabled phone, I visited the tunnel again. I discovered that there are now two mud-free routes to the tunnel.
Go through the subway at the end of Cruickshanks Road.
Turn hard left and follow the track.
Cruickshanks Road to west portal of tunnel is a gpx file that can be opened in google earth.
Walk along the old formation from the end of King Charles Drive in Kingsley Height to the tunnel. I prefer this route because the 19th century cuttings and embankments can be studied. Also the grade is easy. The distance is 1.16km with an easy walking time of 30 minutes one way. There are several locations where trains on the new formation can be photographed.
west portal of tunnel to Kingsley Heights is a gpx file that can be opened in google earth.
The gps lost signal at the west tunnel portal.
About 200m from King Charles Drive the track deviated from the formation.
For more information about Cruickshanks Mill and the water race go to this geocaching page.
Railway Routes. Old and new rail routes between Upper Hutt and Featherston. The Rimutaka Deviation opened in 1955.
Artifact seen on the old formation.
Photographed from the old formation train 1604 crosses the Cruickshanks Road overbridge (left). The Cannon Point Trig (officially 7503 Upper Hutt No 2) is in the background. The photographer is about 220m from the west portal of Cruickshanks Tunnel.
The upper image was photographed from the track up to Cannon Point Trig (officially 7503 Upper Hutt No 2). The dots mark the old formation. A logging train is descending the grade to Upper Hutt on the new 1955 alignment.
The Google Earth image shows the old route in plan view.
These photos were taken in 2003. Captions refer to the Route 1 from Cruickshanks Road.
I am trying to find a location to get some better photos.
The Rimutaka Deviation climbs on a grade of 1 in 70 (right to left) to the Mangaroa Tunnel. The subway under the railway is at the end of Cruickshank Road.
2016 comment: I think that the Cruickshanks tunnel is to the left of the photo. The comment on the photo is probably meaningless.
I believe that the railway formation is in a cutting behind the ridge on the right.
2016 comment: The tunnel location may be correct. The "cutting" comment may be wrong.
A four arm telegraph pole is extant in the hills. There is a distinct line between regenerating bush and gorse - is this the alignment?
2016 comment: The pole is no longer visible from the track up to the tunnel. It can be seen from the bottom of the zig zag to Cannon Point. It appears to below the formation. I wonder if it is a P&T pole on the old mainline to the Wairarapa?.
Continue straight ahead past the two blazed trees. Keep towards the right - do not be tempted to turn left and head straight up the ridge. For a good view of the telegraph pole turn right between the blazed trees and proceed to K.
2016 comment: The pole is no longer visible.
The entrance to a drainage tunnel which runs parallel to the portal cutting. The tunnel is about 38 paces (say 30m) long. I suspect that once it was completely bricked up as just behind the camera is a small drain in the track bed. The tunnel is large enough to walk through but a stick poked into the mud suggests that that would not be wise. Looking towards Upper Hutt.
2016 comment: This is the water race to Cruickshank's Mill.
Looking along the formation towards Upper Hutt. The drainage tunnel is centre right. After a short distance the track becomes almost impassable - a slasher would be essential if an attempt was made to walk to the Kingsley Heights subdivision, where an embankment has been destroyed.
2016 comment: It is an easy walk along the old formation to King Charles Drive. A slasher is not required.
The Upper Hutt portal of Cruickshanks Tunnel photographed from the approach cutting.
The cross-section of Cruickshanks Tunnel. Looking towards Mangaroa Valley.
Remains of the bridge over the Mangaroa River. See photos on pages 95 & 97 in A Line Of Railway (W N Cameron). The tunnel is behind the camera but is not visible from this location because of blackberry.
2016 comment: I could not see the bridge remains.
Bridge piles in the Mangaroa River. Looking towards the tunnel.

Lend me your angst, palate and general disgust toward brand marketing. Take this age statement-dropping hate boiling deep within and apply it to rum. Yes, rum. It needs you.
For the past decade, I’ve watched you, the bourbon geek, complain about sourced whiskey, phony back stories, weak transparency, master distiller titles, craft whiskey, flavoring added to non-straight rye (What?!!!), barrel finishes (how can you call it bourbon?!), flavored whiskey, and allocations. I’ve witnessed educated men spin conspiracy theories about why there’s not enough Pappy Van Winkle. I’ve read (and written a few) blog posts about the arrogance of a brand raising the price, dropping an age statement or lowering a proof.
These, every single story, are mere corporate shenanigans, at best.
Bourbon production has not killed dozens at a time since the 1800s distillery fires. The United States is not subsidizing bourbon, which, on average, pays 60% per bottle to Uncle Sam in taxes. And the most-common American whiskey scandal is somebody made up a story about their grandpa being a moonshiner. Yeah, it can get under my skin, but the worst thing that can happen is I spent $40 on a whiskey because I liked a story about a grandpa.
But in rum, alleged corrupt governing, subsidized distilleries, sugarcane-related deaths, fake age statements, undisclosed sugar content and awful categorical characterization are impacting lives and keeping the truly beautiful spirit from your liquor cabinet.
Mainstream story after story improperly characterizes rum the “wild west” of spirits, saying it’s not regulated. Not true. It’s regulated, but the regulations are not as strictly enforced as they are in whiskey, especially here in the United States, where our government permitted a sugar beet rum.
Nonetheless, rum needs you, because corporate interests and questionable government will push their agendas onto your liquor store shelves. Cuban rum’s return to the United States gives the category a needed boost, but it will only be a fad if you simply chase Havana Club. Like you did with bourbon, you can impact the flavor profiles rum distillers enter into market.
Before you, wheated bourbon was Maker’s Mark’s and Weller’s territory. Now look at all the distilleries making that sweet nectar. Before you, bourbon geek, distillers didn’t market mashbills. Look no further than Bourbon Curious to see genuine transparency in a once secret world.
You can do the same for rum.
The world’s best rum is typically less than $100 and great taste is in the $30 range, but nobody can find these gems because U.S. liquor stores load the aisles with Bacardi and Captain Morgan flavored stuff. Cover-over taxes are killing once great Caribbean distilleries, while new American distilleries quickly discover the harsh realities of the rum business—it’s an uphill battle to compete for the well, the liquor store shelf and convincing consumers rum isn’t supposed to taste like a sugar packet.
That’s why I wrote Rum Curious: The Indispensable Tasting Guide to the World’s Spirit, to start a new conversation about rum, a spirit often ripe with caramel—perfect for the bourbon palate—and more cocktail friendly than whiskey. I’m not asking you to leave bourbon; we both know neither of us could leave if we wanted to. But it’s okay to like other spirits.
And hey, your bunker bourbon needs bunkmates. But more importantly, you, the bourbon consumer, have the loudest and most-listened to voice in spirits. Some brands fear your social media outrage and letters to federal authorities. That’s why rum needs you.
Your consumer-centric passion evokes change.
Previous Previous post: Did you say New York Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon?
Ron Veradara – very good.
Ron Mateseleum – very good.
For some of us bourbon enthusiasts, we’ve already started seeking out great rums. As you point out, the US stores are chalk full of stuff I won’t drink since it’s a sugary mess. I’ve been fortunate to come across and bunker (bunkmate) EU release rums like Velier, Caroni and Hampden. And in some cases, these are now showing up in some markets (e.g. Kill Devil or Golden Devil). Unadulterated rum is great and I’ll continue to seek out expressions as they come to market.

As a Slidell nurse, you understand all too well the dangers that are inherent in your job. But, you consistently put your needs and safety second while you attend to patients that need your help. In March of 2010, a nurse at Crozer-Chester Medical Center answered another nurse's call for help, just as you have done many times.

There are many positive aspects about working offshore on an oil rig. You like the prospect of seven days off after each seven-day shift you work. The money is good and you enjoy the outdoor atmosphere and camaraderie you share with your crew mates.

As an office executive, you think that you are safe while in the workplace. However, dangers lurk everywhere, from a spill in the break room to loose carpeting in the lobby. Even years spent typing away on the computer can lead to debilitating cases of carpal tunnel syndrome.

I found a swing like this on the internet. I wanted to buy one, but the company that made it was no longer selling it. So, my husband (who is a welder, among his many other skills) said he'd just make one for me to use for photoshoots. Boy, am I one lucky creative soul. He did an incredible job on it. After he made the frame, he handed it over to me for the floral arrangement.
