Many people wake up in the morning with painful teeth and a sore jaw. They wonder what could be wrong to leave them so miserable. The cause, most often, is bruxism, which more commonly known as grinding your teeth. Bruxism can be caused by anything from stress or anxiety to an abnormal bite or missing teeth. Your bruxism can also get worse because of temporomandibular joint syndrome, which is more commonly known as TMJ. Regardless of the cause, there are things you do to decrease the amount that you grind your teeth or eliminate the grinding altogether.
Stress can cause a lot of different reactions in our body, and finding a way to manage it is different for every person. If you think your grinding might be caused by stress, consider stress relief methods that will help you sleep better. Avoid exercise or eating late at night, as these can make your sleep less restful and make it more likely for you to grind your teeth. Instead, try meditation or positive reinforcement.
During the day, be aware of what your jaw is doing. The only time your teeth should touch is when you are eating or swallowing. If you notice your jaw clenched at any time during the day, purposefully put your tongue in between your teeth to keep your jaw in a relaxed position. You should also avoid things like gum that overwork your jaw.
One of the best ways to reduce teeth grinding is to try and relax right before you go to bed. Focus on your jaw and how it feels. Work on consciously releasing any tension that you may feel in your body, making sure to pay particular attention to your jaw. If you wake up during the night, repeat this exercise before you go back to sleep.
If you have not been able to manage your bruxism on your own, it is important to talk to a dentist. Severe or prolonged grinding can damage your teeth and result in damage to the enamel and chipped or broken teeth. Your dentist will probably suggest that you get a night guard for your teeth. Night guards are like mouth guards that athletes wear. While night guards will not stop your grinding, they will prevent any further damage to your teeth. You can find generic ones in most stores, or you can have your dentist make you a custom one.
Teeth grinding may not sound serious to someone who doesn’t do it, but the truth is it can be painful, can disrupt your sleep, and make you miserable. While none of the above may completely cure it, you can reduce the grinding to a minimum by using several of these tips. Before long, you could be surprised and wake up in the morning without the pain to which you have become accustomed.

Discussion in 'Class Announcements' started by IMO.Bot, Apr 3, 2019.
The Airborne School is proud to announce we will be conducting the Basic Air Assault Course for up to 8 highly motivated individuals. BAAC is focused on the basics of loading and unloading from the UH-60 and CH-47 in base and field conditions, including the hot LZ. The class is approximately 120 minutes (2 hours) long. There is a classroom portion followed by dry walk-throughs and then live inserts into hot and cold LZ's.
Sorry but I am unable to attend.
@Adam.J @Robbi.J @Muth.S @Shepard.J @Law.S I will be away in San Diego this week. Please ensure among yourselves someone is available to provide flight crew for this BAAC. Its a handy makeup should someone be unable to make it to their SP's.
Also if you can include some of the new people / transfers so they can get a taste of what it is that we do and feel like part of the group. Even people who have not participated in the course before to help fill out the numbers for Seaman and Whitsel. People like @Grizzle.M @Carney.B @Cundiff.M @Ketelsen.C can ride along or help out on the door gun or sit and watch as the co pilot.
I know you guys will get it looked after. Appreciate it. I know Law is on LOA but included him on the off chance he gets back in time and is available.
As always post on here if you are able to attend as flight crew. If you post here and are unable to attend its up to you to arrange a replacement.

Sunday: Sunny in the morning, then some afternoon clouds. And forecasters say we could see even more snow later in the week.
From Sunday night to Monday morning, the snow and wintry mix will spread eastward and threaten slick travel across the mid-Atlantic, including around Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City. The snow may then change to ice pellets and freezing rain for a few hours Tuesday before changing back to snow by Tuesday night as colder air arrives in the wake of the low pressure system.
About 200 flights were cancelled at Seattle-Tacoma and Portland global airports Saturday, roughly matching the number of Friday cancellations. In the central part of the state, snow drifts blocked roads and forced the closure of USA 2 and Interstate 90, in addition to causing multiple vehicle crashes.
But more snow was possible for the region by midweek, the report said. Winters said he expected the heaviest snowfall will come to an end Tuesday morning but light snow will continue to fall through the day.

A car called the Excel is to go on sale in the United States for the first time Thursday morning. It is an unremarkable looking vehicle, resembling many of the small, efficient Japanese cars that have wrested a large share of the market from the domestic Big Three.
The Excel, though, is not from Japan. It is being imported from Korea, where its manufacturer, the Hyundai Corporation, is one of the nation's leading manufacturing groups. The Hyundai Excel is the first of what could be a torrent of small cars made in Korea and other Asian countries headed for American shores.
The 1970's saw the rise of the Japanese, aided by two gasoline supply scares that shifted consumer demand to small cars with high fuel economy. Last year imports, the vast majority of them Japanese, claimed 23.8 percent of the American car market.
Many Korean-made cars will arrive here bearing familiar domestic labels, as the American auto companies join industries such as shoes, textiles and consumer electronics in shifting production to developing nations to take advantage of low-cost labor. According to the United Automobile Workers union, wages and benefits for Korean auto workers average $2.16 an hour, compared with about $13 an hour in Japan and over $20 an hour in the United States.
In addition, Ford has an affiliate in Taiwan, Ford Lio Ho, that it says will produce a small car for sale in Canada within the next few years. The American Motors Corporation is assembling Jeep models with a Chinese partner in Peking, and A.M.C. officials are saying those vehicles may be shipped to the United States.
Hyundai clearly plans to use its labor cost advantage to help establish the brand name, pricing its bottom-of-the-line model at $4,995. But only 20 percent of its first-year sales will be of these stripped-down models. Most of the cars are expected to sell in the $5,500 to $6,500 range, still less than most comparably equipped Japanese or domestic models cost. And the increase in the value of the yen is putting upward pressure on Japanese car prices in this country.
Unlike the Yugo, an even lower priced Yugoslavian-made car that made its debut in the American market in the fall, and has gotten some unfavorable reviews for its features and quality, the Hyundai Excel has been glowingly praised by the automotive press.
Hyundai sales will be limited by the capacity of its sole assembly plant to 100,000 shipments in the first year, but most auto analysts expect the cars to be sold as fast as they arrive. The new brand, which is not subject to any import restraints, was given an unintended boost by the Japanese Government, which extended restraints on exports by that country's car producers for another year.
Most analysts and auto executives here expect the third world imports to eventually become an important factor in the American car market. Since demand is not expected to grow anywhere as quickly as supply, some existing producers are likely to lose market share, and possibly go out of business.
Hyundai officials say they have plans to bring in other, more expensive, car models into the American market if the Excel is successful.
Michael Luckey, an analyst with Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc., said, ''They're talking about 5 percent of the market by 1990.'' Five percent of an 11 million car market would be 550,000 units, or about what the No. 2 importer, the Nissan Motor Company, sold last year. The Toyota Motor Corporation is No. 1.
One reason Hyundai has been able to beat its Korean competitors to the American market is its ties to the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan. Mitsubishi provided the technology for the Excel's front-wheel-drive engine and transmission. In return, Mitsubishi will sell 30,000 of the 100,000 Excels bound for America.

Part of a componentized enterprise suite delivering complete rules-driven, case and customer centric claims management.
Pros: It made organizing your information easier than on paper. It was easy to maneuver through the system once you were familiar with the location things were found.
Cons: The program is very expensive and is not very adaptable for your line of business. Both of these things make management difficult.

Maestro is a project that will use Blockchain technology to revolutionize music industry and create an ecosystem that allows for the fair distribution of rights of songs and profits between the musicians and investors.
Today’s media is no longer dependent on television and physical albums. Technology has allowed digital music to take their place. The digital music industry has been experiencing tremendous growth in recent years due to the increased use of internet-enabled devices and Internet accessibility. Other factors that have facilitated this growth include increased distribution of music production services and the emergence of new distribution channels among others. In 2016, for instance, the market recorded revenue of $7.8 billion, which was a 17.7 percent growth from the previous year.
Streaming has replaced downloads as the main consumption method of digital music. Currently, streaming generates over 60.4 percent of the revenue. The number of users subscribed to premium streaming services is over 112 million. Streaming is expected to continue growing into the future. Factors such as fast Internet speed, the emergence of AI speakers, and connected cars are expected to enhance the growth of streaming.
“Value gap” is one of the greatest problems in this sector. “Value gap” is the difference between what those who provide user-upload services get and what the creators of the content get. Some of the companies that provide music provision services include Apple Music and YouTube among others.
Streaming has become a popular way of consuming music. Listeners are no longer buying full albums from their favorite artists. To further complicate the issue, listeners are subscribing for a fixed monthly fee to stream. The musicians are receiving even less from their creativity.
Although streaming has enabled consumers to access any music, regardless of their devices’ storage, it has increased the cost of enjoying music. Streaming reduces artists’ revenue and increases the cost for consumers. The listeners have to pay even after being unavailable most of the time during the subscription period. The inclusion of unnecessary intermediaries like labels and entertainment companies further increases the cost of streaming.
Many artists lack capital when they want to record their songs. Maestro will introduce a crowdfunding center to be known as “Ensemble.” The fans and investors who will raise capital through this system will receive rights to the content.
The company will introduce a streaming service, “Symphony,” where all completed projects will be posted. The profits that will generate by streaming will be shared equitably among artists and investors. Maestro will help in securing artists’ rights and help them to launch their projects in a place with high chances of success.
Maestro will allow consumers to pay depending on the number of songs they stream. There will be reasonable subscription plans but they will be based on usage. Moreover, the new structure will allow consumers to communicate directly with their favorite artists and become active participants in their project.
Maestro is on Twitter and Telegram where those wishing to know more about the project can contact them. The company uses social media to reach more people.
Maestro is one of the best projects to invest in as it is operating an industry that is experiencing tremendous growth. More consumers will be interested in the project as it comes with an opportunity to invest in their favorite projects.

This is a major step in the digital transformation of Puratos which will allow its artisan customers to easily create a personalized webshop and benefit from online selling opportunities. Bakkersonline will benefit from a global exposure, offering its services to more customers worldwide.
Bakkersonline offers a complete and tailor-made solution for bakers, patissiers and chocolatiers to leverage and embrace digital technologies. The platform allows artisans to create in a fast and professional way a personalized webshop where their customers can easily order.

For artisans, Bakkersonline generates additional sales and enables a more efficient production planning and stock management, while minimizing waste.
For consumers, the platform offers the convenience to pick up products purchased online at the time and location of their choice.
“Today hundreds of bakeries in Belgium and the Netherlands enjoy the comfort of the online service while allowing consumers to spend their time efficiently, elsewhere than in queues” says Maxim Sergeant, Founder and CEO of Bakkersonline.
The mission of Puratos is to help customers in being even more successful in their business by inventing, producing and supplying high quality ingredients. In addition to the available product ranges, Puratos also provides its customers with excellent technical and marketing support.
“We wish to reflect innovation not only in the quality of our products, but also in the services we provide our customers”, shares Daniel Malcorps, CEO of Puratos.
New technologies emerge every day, yet Puratos’ objective to help customers create the best products remains intact. Puratos believes that providing convenient, digital services to its customers will enable them to focus their time on creating even better bakery, patisserie and chocolate items.
“The signature of a joint-venture agreement with one of the most promising start-ups in our industry will help artisan bakers, patissiers and chocolatiers, from around the world, join the digital revolution. With this new service our customers can provide a more convenient experience to consumers who’ll be able to purchase items online and pick them up in-store without queuing. This easy solution represents an enormous growth potential which will help our customers to work even smarter”, adds Daniel Malcorps.
Today Bakkersonline counts over 350 customers in Belgium and the Netherlands. Last year over 131.000 orders were placed on the platform.
“Thanks to Puratos’ global presence and expertise, I’m convinced that we will increase artisans’ access to useful tools and allow their business to be even more successful. This will also benefit our current customers with the development of new features to extend their digital presence,” concludes Maxim Sergeant.
For more clarity and increased positive communication impact also internationally, the platform will soon be rebranded “Bakeronline.com”.
If you have any question regarding this joint-venture, you can address an email to info@bakkersonline.be.

Easter is a great time to adorn your nails with colorful pastel designs featuring bunnies, chicks and other fun patterns that evoke images of spring and rebirth. With so many fun options, you can easily create a personalized design with different images on each nail.
For this look, select a different pastel shade for the background of each nail, making sure that one is yellow. Add white to the bottom of the yellow nail to form a hatching chick. Draw a bunny face with ears on another nail using white. Finish the chick and bunny with black eyes, adding touches of pink to the bunny's ears and nose and a dot of orange for the chick's beak. Add white dots, lines or chevron stripes to your remaining nails.
The possibilities and combinations are nearly endless when you opt for mix-and-match Easter-theme nails. Here again, each nail is painted with a different pastel shade to start and white polish is used to draw on a bunny and some other shapes. With this more colorful design, additional pastel shades and bright spring colors are used on each nail. Green grass below the bunny really makes the character nail stand out, and additional pops of color for dots and stripes on the other nails create a standout look.
If you like the idea of varying patterns on your nails but you don't want something different on each nail, go with a look that features a character on one nail and a consistent pattern on all the others. This Easter pedicure features a light blue background on each nail with bright pink and white dots covering all but the big toe.
For the big toe, create a semi-circle with white polish to depict the bottom of the egg and top with a yellow circle to indicate a hatching chick. Extend yellow wings from either side of the circle and add eyes and a mouth with black. Fill in the mouth with a splash of bright pink and add bright pink dots to the egg.
If you want bunnies to be the predominant feature on your Easter manicure and would prefer that each nail have a similar design, this fun look is a great option. Paint each of your nails white, then add a background diamond pattern by using a silver fine tip nail art pen to draw diagonal lines across each nail in both directions.
Use a fine tip black nail art pen to add a bunny outline to each nail, then surround the bunny with pastel and brightly colored dots. Yellow, light green and bright pink dots are shown here, though you can opt for any spring-like shades that coordinate with your Easter outfit.
Note that drawing the lines requires a steady touch and does complicate this design a bit. You may want to visit a professional nail artist for this look, or possibly consider leaving the lines off altogether. This look would still be super-cute on a plain white background.
Oblong pops of color reminiscent of Easter eggs or jelly beans provide a simple, yet creative way to prepare your nails for Easter festivities if your nails are fairly long. For this look, start with a basic white background, then select your favorite springtime pastel shades to add an oval of color to the center of each nail. Here, soft yellow, blue and pink polish is used for the ovals. You could add in lavender and light green if you'd like each nail to be a different color rather than repeating a shade.
For a different take on pastel Easter egg nails consider a look like this one, which works on nails of any length and is simple to create. Here, each nail is covered with a different pastel shade, featuring yellow, blue, pink, green and orange. Splashes of white and silver are added as loosely formed ovals in uneven patterns across each nail, with plenty of room for the background color to show through.
This lovely design is a great option for Easter that can also be worn after the holiday as a celebration of spring. Here, white polish is used to highlight the half-moon at the base of each nail with the remainder of the nail covered in a lovely pastel shade. A color is repeated here, but you could use additional shades to give each nail its own hue. Confetti-like squiggly lines dot the colored portion of each nail in an explosion of color that does a great job of signifying the exuberance of spring.
Easter nail designs don't have to be limited to pastel shades. Here, bright shades of pink, yellow, purple and green are used to cover the nails for a great spring look that works perfectly for Easter and beyond. Use the colors that cover each nail to create coordinating dots, adding in some white dots for additional pop. You can call the splashes of color Easter eggs for the holiday, then refer to them as polka dots after the big day!
Flowers are also a great option for Easter nails that can be worn throughout spring. This lovely look features fairly abstract pink and yellow flowers highlighted with touches of green - all perfect tones for an Easter look. Use fine tip nail art pens to sketch on the outlines, then fill in with polish colors that match your outfit or the flowers that will adorn your table for the feast.
Of course, this isn't the only floral nail design option to consider. There are plenty of wonderful nail designs with flowers that would be perfect for Easter!
No matter what design you select for your fingernails or toenails, nail art provides a great way to ensure that your total look is appropriate for the Easter season. Choose your favorite spring colors for nails and add special touches that make the design you choose uniquely yours.

When is a Good Service not a Good Service?
RMT Reps have been fighting hard to ensure passengers are given clear and accurate service information and have directly requested that the TFL website more honestly reflects the state of the service.
Since Wednesday 14th November the Piccadilly Line has been suspended between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge with a greatly reduced Piccadilly Line service on the Uxbridge Branch. Frustratingly the TFL website has insisted on advertising a “Good Service”.
Customers have taken to social media to vent their outrage and to beg TFL to be honest about the delays so they can plan their journey.
London Calling believes TFL’s choice of language is insincere and misleading. Being honest and upfront about the problems on the Piccadilly Line allows customers to have all the information they need to make an informed decision. Instead, customers are arriving at their local station only to find out there’s a 20 min wait for a train.
Part of the agreed action was to supply two “Rail Adhesion Trains" which London Calling believes has been done. So why has the line yet again been hit by the same problems and why is London Underground so reluctant to tell its customers about it?

Many people want to know if it's possible to visit Iceland on tight budget. That's why we've put together this handy guide with tips on how to save some cash when visiting.
Iceland can be a pretty expensive country for the average traveler. After all, it’s the fifth most expensive country on Earth. But visiting Iceland on a tight budget is very much doable if you cut down on certain things. Here we listed a few tips to help you, visit Iceland on a budget.
If you're looking to save some cash in Iceland, you'll need to limit when you dine at a restaurant. Iceland is famous for selling overpriced food at restaurants, and each meal will typically cost up to 50$ a person. You can find cheaper ones though.
We would recommend buying groceries at a supermarket like Bónus or Krónan. If you have a Costco membership, there is a store in Garðabær you might want to pay a visit. Also, bear in mind that gas stations in Iceland can be costly. We offer cooking equipment in all of our campers. So go on and get creative with all of the fantastic Icelandic produce!
Visiting Iceland on a budget is easier if you go during winter!
The tourist population in Iceland reaches it's top during the summer months (June, July, August) and by default prices for everything go up. If you come during winter prices will be lower and, since it's not too busy, you might even get better service.
Almost everything you might want to see will be open during winter. So you definitely won't miss out on all the fun activities. Heck, even the ice cream shops are open during December. If you're worried about not seeing the beautiful nature in Iceland during winter times, we can tell you that you´ll have to be very unlucky to sit stuck in a snowstorm the whole time and not see anything.
Chances are, you´ll be able to visit most if not all the place you’d like to see except the highlands. Just look at the photos from the Icelandic winter. Plus, the northern lights are only visible during winter, and you do not want to miss the opportunity to see them.
Yes, we know. How can you go on a trip and not drink a few glasses of red wine or try an exciting new cocktail? Well, if you are friends with your wallet, you might want to consider letting go of drinks for your visit. The importation fees and taxes on alcohol are rocket high expensive. That makes prices for alcohol some of the most costly in the world.
If you absolutely must drink in Iceland, we recommend purchasing alcohol in the duty-free store at the airport. Also ordering whole bottles is often cheaper than a glass at restaurants and bars.
All natural things in Iceland are free to see. Waterfalls, geysers, lava, volcanoes, caves, forests, you name it. Nature is such an essential part of Iceland. Why waste your stay by not seeing all of the magnificent scenery the country has to offer?
Since you have a camper you don't need to spend a fortune on planned packages with various companies. You can just drive to those places yourself. You can even see the northern lights without a tour guide helping you! Just look at the aurora forecast and find a good spot (https://aurorareykjavik.is/aurora-forecast/).
You can also skip some famous tourist spots for an all natural equivalent. Take the blue lagoon for example. You might want to jump the entrance fees and pay a visit to the completely free Landmannalaugar. Or, other free and natural hot springs all across Iceland. By the way, make sure you check out our maps of hot springs in Iceland!
We say that nature is mostly free because some places have started to charge parking fees in order to be able to run bathroom facilities, build paths, etc.
Icelanders call the souvenir shops 'puffin stores,' and despite the cute name, they are a dangerous trap for gullible tourists. Ok, not life threateningly dangerous, but dangerous if you want to keep your hard-earned cash in your pocket. Often the stores are decorated in the Icelandic flag colors and with, quote on quote, great deals in the window.
These shops lure tourists in and keep them in. We say: ignore those stores entirely and get more personal souvenirs on your trip. Maybe you like a particular beach more than others. Then you might bring home a small seashell. Make your trip your own, don't get caught up in some touristy craziness. That being said, the stuffed animal puffins are seriously cute!

The family Cactaceae contains an amazing array of plants. Most are natives of the Americas growing in deserts and mountains, but many species have become naturalized in other parts of the world. Wildly differing in size and form, many cacti hear lovely blooms, some very fragrant and a few blooming only at night.
Propagation is done by separating offsets, taking cuttings or by sowing seed. Cuttings can be taken from any part of the shoot or stem. The cutting should then be allowed to air dry (preferably in the sun) for a couple of days to form a thin skin along the cut edge. The cuttings are then placed in a mix of sphagnum peat and sand or in sand alone. The medium is kept slightly moist and in bright light. For quicker root formation, the cuttings may be placed on a propagation pad for bottom heat.
Seeds should be sown in pots, trays or a bed prepared with a soiless medium (2 parts sand to 1 part sphagnum peat moss is fine) and covered lightly. The medium should be kept moist, but not soggy at about 70F and the containers covered with plastic or glass. When the seedlings emerge, they should be kept lightly shaded from strong sunlight and kept watered until about 2 inches high, when they should be transplanted to larger containers or directly outdoors, if the outdoor temperatures remain above 55F.
Cacti can also be grafted for various reasons. Grafts are often used on varieties that are prone to decay at the base or to join dissimilar varieties for curiosity. A thin slice is removed from each side of the base of the scion. The stem of the rootstock is cut off and a wedge shaped piece of the tissue removed into which the scion is placed. It is held in place with a pin. The grafted plants are them put in a glass or plastic covered box until the graft heals.

In the early '90s Polly Pocket started an amazing toy trend: playsets the size of drink coasters, with figures tiny enough to inhabit them. It was invented by a clever and loving man who built a dollhouse for his daughter out of a discarded makeup compact so she could take it anywhere. This begat what I believe to be the most brilliantly designed toy of all time: Mighty Max, the short-lived “Polly Pocket for boys,” which really kicked off the “mini playset” trend of the '90s. Suddenly every licensed toy line was doing it: Power Rangers, Tarzan, Star Wars, Pokemon, Micro Machines, even Goosebumps.
These days, Max is reliving his adventures via night terrors in an asylum somewhere in Massachusetts, blissfully unaware that he has a brother who went on similar adventures: a boy named Sammy Steel.
Okay, all pretensions aside, Sammy Steel vs The Micro Mob was a dollar store knock-off of a popular toy: Warlord to Max’s He-Man. But the fact that this toy existed was amazing to my little child mind, being such a young fan of odd knock-off toys already.
But Sammy Steel wasn’t just a handful of inferior dollar store knock-offs: like Max, it ran for three different series, and each one featured a comic strip on the back of its card. It tried so hard to emulate the source that it’s hard not to admire it a little bit. Every year when I went to the dollar store toy aisle and found another new lineup of Sammy Steels it blew my mind. Stranger still, I discovered official UK variants many years later.
Nowadays the toys are unicorn rare, and really not worth anything, nor are they in demand. But that just makes collecting them all the more fun. I get a rush of excitement whenever I find a new Sammy Steel listing, and I’ve hoarded an impressive collection of the things. I’m pretty sure my site, MikesToyBox, is the only source of info on these forgotten toys anymore.
One major stylistic difference between Max and Sammy is that Sammy never abandoned the cute design motif of Max Series 1, opting for Hanna-Barbara while Max took the Lovecraft and Hammer Horror route. They also lacked the ingenious designs of Mighty Max: the playsets weren’t configured for everything to fit in exactly the right place so the compact could close without trouble. You basically pack Sammy away by jangling the figures around inside until the lid finally closed.
Sammy Steel Series 1 was four sets: Vicious Volcano, Face Mountain, Dome of Doom, and Sinister Saucer. These are the most easily found on eBay and elsewhere, particularly Face Mountain. Sinister Saucer is the best because of its inorganic environment where everything seems to serve a purpose, while the other three were mostly set in the wilderness. The compacts were shaped like mountains or cute flying saucers.
Things get more interesting with Series 2. Club Dread is a water park overrun by terrorists, robots, and giant octopodes. Hurtin’ Safari is set around a Minecraft-like jungle tree fort. Prehistoric Peril takes Sammy to Forbidden Valley to fight Gwangi and other Harryhausen delights. The series climaxes with Star Trap, an adorable moon base that would better suit Polly Pocket than Mighty Max, if she ever went to space. The compacts for these are wonderful, because two are “disguised” as Walkman cassette players, and the other two as Game Boys. I wish they were all the latter, because the screens of the Game Boy compacts are made to resemble LCD games depicting the action inside - an unbearably cool touch. They went nuts with the accessories, too: look at all the stuff you got! Look at that dinosaur with the saddle-crane!
Things end weak as a baby fart with Series 3, which only featured three toys instead of the usual four: Submarine Sandwich, the laughable Tomb of Terror, and Chasing the Mob’s Missile. These playsets came with built-in sound effects, at the expense of figures, detail, and anything else more interesting. A depressing end for a fun little knockoff toy that shelled out more effort than most dollar store ripoffs…in the beginning, anyway.
I occasionally find other Max/Polly knockoffs I never heard of, and it’s always a treat for some nerdy reason. I continue browsing the Mighty Max listings in the hope of finding Sammy Steel stuff. Maybe someday I’ll find someone selling a carded lot, or a piece I’m missing. Or maybe I’ll start collecting Polly Pocket knockoffs next. I still need to buy a house for Max to retire in.
For more Sammy Steel information and photos of additional playsets, packaging and more, visit MikesToyBox.net!
Mighty Max was the coolest (and yes I know that was just a Polly Pocket for boys). First time hearing about Sammy Steel, looks fine, but a bit "cheaper"
Definitely dollar store quality, but it's hard not to like it for what it is. Most toy lines that copied the Polly/Max mini-playset schtick did a half-assed job of it (check out those terrible Pocket Comics toys from Marvel). This is one of those cases of imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.
Mighty Max truly was the best designed toy series of all time. I had a couple of the later Sammy Steel's, but they weren't anything in comparison, especially once the Max playsets got cheap re-releases. They're all a mission to find intact though.
Man, these are awesome! I will add Sammy Steel to my ever growing list of micro toys from the 90's that I need to track down. I have a little side blog decided to just making a list of the dozens of micro toy lines that were produced.
Imperial produced some great little gems, including my favorite series of pogs, Slammer Whammers.
Oh man, my brother and I each had one of these sets when we were kids. Thank you for sharing the info on these amazing bootlegs!

As India bans foreign surrogacy, clinics look towards Cambodia, but what will it mean for the rights of surrogates?
New Delhi, India - Rita* tucks hungrily into a plate of steaming white rice, daal (lentils), a mixed-vegetable curry, yoghurt and a green salad.
Her just-washed hair is gathered at the nape of her neck in a loose bun and the bold, flower print of her tunic stretches out over her heavily pregnant belly. She sits cross-legged on the bed in her sunny room in the yellow surrogate house, just off the main road on the outskirts of Gurgaon, a hub of domestic and international businesses and sparkling malls and eateries bordering New Delhi.
Rita is one of the last surrogates in India carrying a child for a foreign couple. In October last year, when Rita was around five months pregnant, the Indian Council for Medical Research sent a notification (PDF) to all fertility clinics, ordering them "not to entertain any foreigners for availing surrogacy services in India".
Earlier, in a written affidavit to the Supreme Court, the Indian government had confirmed it "does not support commercial surrogacy" and that the new law will have provisions to "prohibit and penalise commercial surrogacy services".
An Asian Age report says that as the government finds it a "contentious" issue, addressing it "is the need of the hour".
India has been criticised for its failure to regulate its surrogacy industry and seems determined to address surrogacy as a standalone issue: the much-discussed Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill, drafted in 2007 by the then Congress government, of which surrogacy was a part, has now been been narrowed down to deal with just surrogacy and will be renamed the Surrogacy Regulation Bill.
It is at present being discussed by a group of ministers headed by union health minister J P Nadda.
The Indian Council of Medical Research directive followed the release of draft legislation by India's health ministry prohibiting foreigners - except those with family origins in India - from employing Indian surrogates.
The new law is in its final stages and is expected to be passed soon, outlawing foreign surrogacy with the aim of protecting the rights of surrogate mothers.
Facing losses in what was a lucrative trade - India's surrogacy industry is estimated to be worth around $500m per year - Indian clinics have started moving out to Cambodia, a country with ambiguous surrogacy laws and a visa-on-arrival facility for Indian nationals. More than a dozen Thai and Indian clinics are already operating there.
"I am aware of a few Indian and Nepali clinics that have set up in Cambodia," says Sam Everingham, director of events and content for the Australia-based Families through Surrogacy. "The surrogates come from Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Some may also come from India - that's not clear yet."
Non-Indian surrogates often charge anything from $15,000 upwards, and in the US, for example, where commercial surrogacy is allowed only in certain states, it can cost upwards of $150,000. In India, however, the costs are often well under $30,000.
"Prospective parents won't want to pay that amount, especially for a country where surrogacy laws are ambiguous," says Nepal-based Preeti Bista, cofounder of My Fertility Angel Cambodia.
These clinics will undoubtedly begin hiring Indian surrogates in Cambodia, Bista believes, simply because "they are cheaper".
And some surrogates do not seem averse to this. Hundreds of them had protested against the ban outside the ICMR offices when the ruling was passed.
"I was struggling to pay off a debt of $8,000," Rita says. "I left my home for nine months to stay in a new place. I am grateful I didn't have to travel, but I wouldn't mind if I had to."
That desperation isn't only shared by the surrogate mothers and their families. Surrogacy in India is also the last resort for many infertile couples in countries where surrogacy is either banned or prohibitively expensive.
"The difference between surrogacy costs in India and the US for most infertile couples is the difference between having the option to have a child or not," says New York-based hotelier Arnon Magal, who struggled with infertility for years and sought alternatives, including IVF treatments in Israel and Cyprus and two failed surrogacy pregnancies in India. He was hoping to again hire a surrogate in India this year.
But the ban comes after years of controversies that have plagued the industry, including accusations by rights groups of exploitation of surrogate mothers.
But Mark Henaghan, a New Zealand-based law professor, who follows the issue closely, believes that outlawing international surrogacy will only lead to more abuse of the surrogates.
"It is unlikely that the entire industry will cease now that it has been banned. It seems more likely that a black market or underground industry will spring up in its place, which will afford much less protection for everyone involved, especially the surrogates and the resulting children," says Henaghan.
This was the result when, in 2012, India banned single and gay-couple surrogacy. Neighbouring Nepal, which allowed surrogacy as long as the surrogate was not a Nepalese citizen, emerged as an offshore surrogacy hub with Indian clinics impregnating and then smuggling Indian surrogates across the border into Nepal for deliveries - a foreign country where the mothers' rights were not clearly defined.
It all came to a head in April last year when a massive earthquake hit Nepal and many Indian surrogates were stranded as Israel airlifted its own citizens and their babies, leaving the surrogates stranded in a quake-ravaged country. The country suspended commercial surrogacy the following August.
Bista was a coordinator for an international fertility agency that worked through an Indian clinic when the Nepal earthquake hit. She says they had to send surrogate mothers who were mid-term in their pregnancies back to India, while some others stayed behind in temporary shelters in Nepal to wait out their pregnancies.
"That was horrible," she says.
"Even before the earthquake, there were agencies in Nepal who kept surrogates in overcrowded surrogate houses with 10 or so in a room. Some of them had their children and husbands with them. There was no work for the husbands and it was a very harassing situation for them," she continues.
"I wouldn't deny it won't happen in Cambodia. The only way out is to regulate. When governments ban, people find other locations to continue. And in fact such bans make the surrogates more vulnerable in a third country," Bista says.
Investigations by various journalists and rights groups into the lives of surrogate mothers revealed mistreatment in the surrogate houses, a lack of nutritious food and poor hygiene. The surrogates were also often emotionally distressed.
"Most of the women said they are happy but their answers seemed rehearsed to me," says Janak Sapkota, a local journalist who covered the issue in the aftermath of the Nepal earthquake. "They missed home, their families and their villages."
Everingham, of Families through Surrogacy, visited Cambodia last year to assess the situation and found it far from ideal.
"There is no legislation protecting the rights of the surrogate, child or intended parents," he says. "The ban [in India] will push intended parents to engage in far riskier places like Cambodia, where there is a serious lack of medical support services, such as neonatal care units."
"There is a strong demand for surrogacy and for people to use surrogates to have their genetic child," Henaghan says.
"Where there is demand, it will always find a market."

Almost 100 years ago, in May 1916, almost 450 students from Japan Medical College (presently known as Japan Medical University) resigned en masse because of conflict with the administration, and set about trying to realize their own ideal place of study, working toward the establishment of a new school. After overcoming many difficulties, they were able to rent classrooms in Tokyo Academy of Physics (presently Tokyo University of Science) from September that year, and thereby established Tokyo Medical Teaching Establishment.
In 1918, the veteran official and bureaucrat Mr. Takuya TAKAHASHI invested his entire finances and worked ceaselessly around the country to gain a huge amount of support from famous personages in the world of medicine, politics and finance, such as Mr. Susumu SATO, Mr. Rintaro(Ougai) MORI, Mr. Takashi HARA, Mr. Tsuyoshi INUKAI, Mr. Korekiyo TAKAHASHI, Mr. Shigenobu OKUMA, Mr. Eiichi SHIBUSAWA etc and established Tokyo Medical School. In 1946, the institution was elevated to the level of a university and has continued as such since then. Even today, Mr. Takuya TAKAHASHI is spoken of with love and reverence as the founder who poured his life’s blood into the founding of our school.

The goal of the project is to derive a model describing the energy production of an electromagnetic energy harvester. The harvester to consider is a magnetic transducer placed at the bottom of a door, moved over magnets placed on the floor, generating electrical current while the door is opened or closed. The model is based on statistics collected by a simple circuit for measuring power. The circuit is connected to a wireless network node, which sends measurements to another node connected to a personal computer where data will be stored. The model considers the working point, which is the voltage in which it is operated.

This cozy cabin near Deep Ellum will take you away from the city life for a few nights.
Starting off simple, this humble futon located just east of the Dallas Zoo may look a little sparse at first, but at $15 a night it’s a steal for the ambiance that comes with the package. While you’ll only be renting the futon, there plenty of shared space to be had in this nearly 90-year-old, 4,100-square-foot building. The owner, who is renovating the space, also rents other sleeping spaces in this makeshift hostel so this location may not be for the faint of heart. But there are plenty of Uptown lofts advertised as bohemian crash pads on Airbnb, so why spend $80 bucks a night when you can live like a true bohemian for the fraction of the price? Located just half a block away from DART’s Morrell Station and suited for up to two guests, this spot could be the perfect launch pad for an adventurous weekend.
This quaint little house in the Far Greater Northside Historic district of Fort Worth looks like it was pulled straight from a Frida Kahlo painting. Just 10 minutes away from the Fort Worth Stockyards and outfitted with a full suite of amenities, this spot is the perfect place to stay while exploring. You’ll want to bring your cowboy boots and up to four other friends or family during your stay, as this casita oozes with Tejano charm. The owner even states that his parents may swing by with some home-cooked delectables for especially lucky guests.
It would be fair to call Dallas a hip city, and no matter how people may try to cynically paint our artisanal coffee shops, secret record stores and trendy eateries as pejoratively hipster-ish, it can’t be said that Dallas doesn’t have a sense of style. Take this vintage Airstream trailer. The custom interior was carefully put together by local designer Christopher Dean. It’s parked in a backyard between Knox/Henderson and Lower Greenville. There’s a private outdoor sauna/shower right next to the owners’ chicken coop. All it needs is a couple of your favorite people, a six-pack of locally brewed ale and $45 in instant film to complete the image of the stereotypical cool-kid Dallasite. Even ironically, a stay at this oasis is guaranteed to be a blast.

Premier Mid-Rise w/ Rooftop Pool!
Downtown Dallas has received a steady stream of developments and improvements over the past few years. Renting this spot will let you lounge poolside amongst a city in progress. A rooftop pool with a stunning view the Magnolia Dallas Downtown’s red Pegasus, once the tallest building in Dallas, caps off this impressive downtown apartment. Guest also have access to the buildings amenities, like the 24/7 gym as well as the rooftop lounge and pool. For the more urban-inclined, this Airbnb will show you just how far Dallas has come.
Not every trip away from home needs to be full of excitement. Sometimes you just need some time to decompress and get back in touch with the little things. Luckily for us, this preserved shotgun-style house from the 1920s is ready to rent for those who just need a break from the bright lights of the big city. A stone’s throw away from Lee Harvey’s, this historic house will let you step back in time and experience the Dallas of old with the luxuries of today. Perfect for a quiet weekend alone for up to four guests plus pets.
Just about everyone has that one friend whose home entertainment system ends up being their most desirable trait. Thanks to Airbnb, you can set up your own private screenings whenever you’d like. Just walking distance from Lower Greenville, this guesthouse comes equipped with a 92-inch home theater system and the full suite of cable movie channels. If that’s not enough, you can bring your own devices and turn this Airbnb into your private screening room for everything from home movies to sporting events. Up to five people (plus a pet or two), can join in on the fun — but couples may want to ditch the third wheel and set up a sleepover-esque double date.
It’s by far the most expensive Airbnb on our list and perhaps the most lavish. Named the most beautiful Airbnb in Texas last year, this relatively new 2,400-square-foot house is devastatingly modern, with a fully stocked kitchen, four high-end mattresses and loads of style. The price at $234 per night and a lengthy list of house rules might be barriers to entry for most, but with room for eight, you and seven friends can all pitch in and live like big shots in one of the best Airbnbs in the country.
Sitting just a few miles south of Deep Ellum, this one-of-a-kind rustic wood cabin is deceptively peaceful despite being so close to the heart of the city. A private woodland retreat, complete with a fire pit and covered porch, makes this the perfect place for a slightly more rustic glamping experience. The house is located in the owner’s backyard shared by two other inhabitants, in their own lodgings, as part of what the owner calls the Urban Cloud. You and a plus-one can experience all the charm of a cabin in the woods. The kitchen is shared with the owner, who seems more than willing to share a meal with guests or at least a steaming cup of coffee.
It may not look as striking as Zoolander’s signature pose from the outside, but the inside sure paints a prettier picture. Decked out with rustic wood interior, this shipping container-turned-cabin can fit up to four and is close to Downtown. It seems to be surprisingly roomy, according to previous guests, and even comes with a full kitchen, though you might want to think twice before cooking up anything too pungent. This bright blue hideaway is another Airbnb perfectly suited for a weekend of glamping with a stunning view of the city’s skyline.
Situated in the midst of Oak Cliff’s most popular destinations, the OCTH, this two-person studio guesthouse comes with massage and yoga packages offered by the owners, though you can opt to keep to yourselves during your stay. Lounge the day away and take advantage of the hot tub before taking the short walk down to the Kessler Theater to take in a show instead. Either way, a few nights in this tiny house will have a big impact on both body and mind.

Electroencephalography (EEG) and Event Related Potentials (ERP) offer a combination of precise measurements for the time course of brain processes. These are low cost, non-invasive measurements and are widely available. For these reasons they make a unique contribution to cognitive neuroscience. Scientific interest in EEG and ERP is growing, and results have been increasingly integrated with other neuro-imaging techniques during the last few decades.
Lectures and basic literature provide an introduction for students to the basics of EEG and ERP research, EEG and ERP terminology and the possibilities and limitations of EEG and ERP. For a Midterm paper students study an empirical data article from the literature and answer questions about its EEG and ERP methods and interpretation based on lectures, basic literature and other sources. Students also study practical measurement issues, such as electrode placement and types of artefacts. Finally, students must interpret the resulting data. Successful measurement requires an understanding of the basics of EEG and ERP signal analysis techniques, such as artefact management, spectral analysis, filtering, ERP averaging, time-frequency analysis etc. Students also receive hands-on training in smaller groups in running an ERP experiment, including electrode application, minimising artefacts, and health and safety in the lab. A number of simple experimental paradigms will be used that provide interesting and reliable results. Data processing will include a number of common EEG analyses, e.g. analyses in the time and frequency domain.

Apple has two brand new iPhones set to launch this Friday, and after reading all the early reviews, there’s precious little question that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are the best iPhones Apple has ever made. But you don’t need to shell out between $650 and $970 to experience “new,” because Apple is releasing a fresh new version of the iOS operating system on Tuesday.
That’s right, the final version of iOS 10 will finally make its way onto iPhones and iPads around the world beginning today, after a lengthy beta period that got users more and more excited with each new release. Not everyone was willing to jump on the beta train though, so in this post we’ll give you a heads up and show you the 10 biggest changes coming to your iPhone or iPad today with iOS 10.
We’ll start at the beginning, right when you lift up your freshly updated iPhone for the first time.
Apple completely redesigned the lock screen experience in iOS 10. The phone will automatically wake itself right when you lift it up, and you’ll see all of your notifications on the main screen. A swipe to the right opens the redesigned widget panel, and a swipe to the left opens the camera.
You’ll notice that swipes no longer unlock the phone, so how does it work? Instead of swiping or, in the case of devices with Touch ID, simply touching the home button, iOS 10 requires you to press the home button to unlock your phone. Don’t worry though — if you want nothing to do with the new lock screen and you liked the old unlock behavior better you can go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button and restore the old touch-to-unlock feature.
Notifications are much more feature-rich in iOS 10. For example, supported apps let you 3D Touch a notification to interact with it without the need to actually open the app. For example, press firmly on a notification from Messages and you’ll be able to reply right then and there, without having to open the Messages app.
Hate Stocks? Sick of seeing that Podcasts app on your screen when you don’t even listen to podcasts? You can now hide Apple’s pre-installed apps the same way you uninstall third-party apps. Note that you’re just hiding them, though. The apps will stay on the phone, but before you get angry it’s worth noting that they don’t take up much storage space at all.
Apple’s Messages app probably got one of the biggest updates in all of iOS 10. There are tons of new features like link previews, handwriting support and a new Digital Touch feature that comes over from the Apple Watch. There’s also a brand new Messages App Store that gives you access to free and paid iMessage extensions. Examples include sticker packs, apps that integrate with full third-party apps, and even an app that lets you send someone money right from within Messages.
To check out the new Messages App Store, open any chat and tap the button to the left of the text input field. Then tap the App Store icon.
Siri gets a massive overhaul in iOS 10, complete with tons of new features. Among them, the best and widest reaching is probably third-party app integration. As developers update their apps with Siri integration, you’ll be able to do things like order an Uber car, send messages in third-party apps like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, or even start tracking your workouts all using voice commands with Siri.
Do you even use Control Center on your iPhones? Well, you will now. Control Center has been redesigned in iOS 10 to include new features as well as 3D Touch support. For example, you can press firmly on the flashlight icon to turn the rear LED on with low, medium or high brightness.
And don’t worry, the media controls missing in the image above are still there — just swipe to the left for Control Center’s new second panel.
Photos has been revamped in iOS 10 to include intelligent new features like facial recognition, object recognition, automatic album generation based on time and location and more. A cool new “Memories” feature automatically creates highlight reels, similar to what HTC does on its phones.
Apple’s third-party keyboard support is still shaky at best in iOS, but its main keyboard saw big improvements in iOS 10. Integrated sharing features have been improved, there’s a new emoji recommendations feature, and suggestions have been dramatically improved thanks to Siri’s new context feature. For example, if someone asks “Where are you?” Quick Type will pop up a shortcut to share your location.
Apple Music is a great service that has been trapped beneath a pretty terrible Music app. With iOS 10, Apple’s Music app is far less terrible. The app has been redesigned from top to bottom so that things are arranged much more logically and the most popular features are more accessible. Social features have been hidden (on their way to being killed off completely) and the app makes it much easier to discover new music that you might actually enjoy.

The video is long at about 30 minutes, but it holds attention because it tells a very human story with universal elements that many can relate to. It showcases the desire to make the world better for one’s children, grief over the death of a family member, a promise to make things better that are unjust, and an invitation to join a movement for change that is time-limited and offers a solution.
The video has also sparked a flurry of discussion and criticism – with dueling bloggers on Huffington Post arguing over whether the video can spark real change, opinions columns and blog posts galore, tabloid coverage of the filmmaker’s bizarre mental break, and yes, the envy of the nonprofit world (noted in the New York Times).
What does it have to teach nonprofits?
Personalized storytelling is highly effective at pulling viewers into a story – showing the journey of one activist and one survivor – showing a bigger issue through their lense – helps people understand the passion behind a cause. If people can understand how a bigger problem impacts one person, they can understand how it impacts thousands of people.
You don’t always have to be short – we would typically advise a nonprofit creating a video for YouTube to stay under 10 minutes, even under 5 minutes. This video is nearly 30 minutes long and it’s captivating because of its narrative.
Tell people why they should care – This videos talks about a big problem that may seem far away to many of the people it’s trying to reach, but it connects people to that cause – both thru technology and thru appealing to a generation and ultimately, who the viewer aspires to be, as a person. It’s powerful stuff.
Outline action steps people can take to help – It’s not enough to just raise awareness about a problem. People need concrete steps that they can take to do something, after they are interested in helping.
Is the film simplistic? Yes. Does it offer real solutions? It certainly leans more heavily on a military or political solution, but it does talk about helping child soldiers build new lives through education. Does it come across as neocolonial? To some people, yes. Does it stir people out of apathy and into connection with a cause greater than themselves? Yes.
Come what may – the film is doing what it was intended to do – getting us to sit up and take notice.

“My dad, Dudley, started the business back in the 1980s when he became a UK distributor for two of the world’s leading industrial engineering businesses,” explains Alison.
“Ytron is based in Germany while Quadro is a Canadian business. They may not be household names in the UK, but they’re world-beaters in the field of process engineering.
“Since then we’ve added other major names in related fields including the likes of VMI, Labocontrole and Fitzpatrick, so we cover a lot of ground these days,” she says.
“Over the years, Dad persuaded both me and my brother Paul to come work in the family business. I’ve been here for 26 years and now I take care of most of the day-to-day financial and admin business issues.
“Meanwhile, Paul completed his engineering apprenticeship more than 25 years ago and has now been with the company 28 years.
“Together with our Managing Director, Jon Youles, Paul handles client-facing aspects of the business. Alongside them is Paul’s son, Ben, who joined us nearly six years ago.
“Because we’re a close-knit family business,” says Alison, “having a decent package of employee benefits in place has always been important to us. We have death in service and group income protection in place and we’ve had business health insurance of one kind or another for decades.
“However, it felt like the wheels were coming off our private health insurance cover after our former broker made a number of worrying mistakes and then left us to pick up the pieces. That’s when I found Drewberry,” she says.
Problems with the company’s group health insurance policy first started to surface when the renewal date was approaching at the start of March 2017.
As Alison explains, “Two years ago we still had cover with AXA PPP but our broker of the time suggested that we switch to Bupa for a lower premium. This seemed to work well although it became clear that the policy would become steadily less competitive as time wore on.
“More worrying still was that for years we had included my mum and dad’s close family friend of 50 years Maureen, and her daughter Amanda, on our policy.
“We’d been paying the premiums for both but then we found out that, as they were neither employees nor direct relations of employees, they were actually barred from cover. Fortunately, neither one had ever had to make a claim.
Over the years, Alison has had more than her fair share of problems with the company’s various PMI brokers. “A few years back,” confides Alison, “we paid out a cheque at our broker’s request to cover our renewal. We then found that the premium had been drawn via an existing direct debit arrangement so that we’d paid twice for the same cover.
“Fortunately,” says Alison, “we’re big enough to absorb a billing mistake like this for the week or so it took to get our money refunded. However, there are a lot of small businesses that would struggle with losing over £10,000 like this,” she says.
“My eyebrows really started twitching when I called our broker only to be told that our original adviser was now on an extended holiday due to “stress-related issues” but that I could “speak to his brother”, if I had any queries about our cover (?!).
“Emma suggested we move our group cover to Vitality and secured us terms for a nine-man scheme to cover our seven employees and two spouses. The premium for this was around 20% better than for comparable cover,” says Alison, “not to mention almost three grand better than the renewal premium we were facing.
“At the same time, Emma referred Maureen and Amanda to one of her colleagues who specialises in individual PMI.
“Thanks to his prompt action, he was able to secure the cover we thought they had all along – without the need for any further medical assessment.
“I’ve been keen to buy an Apple watch for a while,” says Alison, “and now I can get a hefty discount with our Vitality policy. I’m sure the rest of the staff have similar plans,” she says.
“Dad still works three days a week but he also cycles regularly and does pilates. I’m starting to get back to walking, swimming and trampolining after a recent injury,” says Alison, “while Paul and Ben are both keen footballers.
This case illustrates just how much a broker can do when it comes to finding the right cover for clients of all shapes and sizes.
Importantly, we were able to find the two ‘lost’ scheme members full cover on continued terms with AXA PPP. This was important as someone like Maureen – who’s now in her 70s – would probably have found herself priced out of the market if new underwriting was required.
Emma also goes on to explain how she helped get cover for Dudley and his wife, Elizabeth, on continued underwriting terms.
“Dudley and his wife, Elizabeth, are also in their 70s now, so if they were to leave the group scheme they’d find individual cover to be very expensive. We had to go the extra mile for Elizabeth as she’s currently recuperating from a knee op she underwent a few weeks before the company’s Bupa policy came to an end.
“Meanwhile, Vitality is the perfect provider for Alison’s company scheme; it’s highly competitive in terms of price while its lifestyle elements are unlike anything else on the market right now. Because the policy’s premiums are linked to the healthy activities that its members complete, there’s every chance it will remain the most cost competitive provider over time.
“Just as importantly,” says Emma, “is that the whole concept of ‘fit bits’ and Apple watches has caught the imagination of the guys at Ytron-Quadro.
“This means that their PMI cover has gone from being something boring on a back shelf to something that the whole company is suddenly engaged and having fun with.
“I get the feeling that Rolo is probably now the best walked ‘sausage dog’ in the UK!” says Emma.

Beginnings and Endings are a part of life. Sometimes those things are joyous. Sometimes they come tinged with sadness. Mr. P and I have run the gamut of both those emotions in the last 24 hours.
After a week of exceedingly variable weather, Mother Nature decided to knock it out of the park on Sunday and turned on the most spectacular day. The weather was especially important because our whole family were gathering for a Very Special Event.Nephew of Pyjamas and The One Who Always Looks Beautiful got married in front of family and friends on Sunday afternoon after 9 years together, and the day was absolutely perfect.
I had a quick word to the groom just prior to the nuptials and asked how he was doing. With supreme conviction he told me he wasn't one bit nervous. I guess there's no need to be nervous when you're doing something you've been dreaming of for a long time.
Aaron and Chloe getting married !
That hand in the pocket is very typical of my nephew. Casual and relaxed. Always cool.
The bride was gorgeous, graceful and oh so happy!
Nobody fluffed their speeches and Other Nephew of Pyjamas did a bang up job of his best man duties. My sister looked stunning as the mother of the groom and my brother in law was seen in a suit for the first time ever , which rendered many of us incapable of speech for several minutes. Then the rude people (My Dad and my Husband) pretty much rolled around on the floor laughing.
Morning after shot of the married couple. (or at least their hands !) I went rogue and totally stole this picture from Chloe's instagram feed .....without even asking. Yeah- damn right I'm a rebel.
Much love and happiness to you both.
As the happy couple were enjoying their first day of married life, Mr. P and I said goodbye to an old and treasured friend. The Six Million Dollar Cat aka Mordecai took his final journey to the place where all good and faithful cats go for their eternal rest. I like to imagine for Mordecai, that place always has full bowls of food and someone to permanently scratch his head between the ears.
Rest well little orange friend. I will miss you.
Lovely photos of the wedding and yes I could easily see the rebel in you from your post.
So, so sorry your lost your kitty Shay. Gentle hugs from Texas.
So sorry about your kitty. Sounds as if he is enjoying the here after.
The wedding pictures are lovely. Looks like the weather cooperated fully.
So sorry about your puss.
What an array of emotions in a short time. Glad the wedding went off without a hitch, but so terribly sorry for the loss of your pretty kitty. Hugs to you.
Well done weddings are the best! Glad Mother Nature helped make it more gorgeous. Goodbyes to pets are hard!
the wedding looks wonderful! nice that you could enjoy the day with them and family.
So very sorry about Mordecai. our furry friends bring so much love into our lives.
What a beautiful wedding! So sorry to hear about Mordecai, we said goodbye to our kitty a couple of months ago now and miss her terribly, it is amazing how much we come to love our furry family members!
Sending you big love and hugs hon.
Beautiful wedding - what a cake!
Sorry to hear about your lovely cat ... hugs.
It looks like it was a lovely wedding. What? pics of you in your new outfit?!
So sorry for the loss of your beloved cat.
Congratulations to the happy couple, how lucky were they to have such lovely weather? Sending you online hugs, I know how hard it is to say goodbye to a much loved kitty. Such little things which leave such a large hole in your life when they're no longer there.
What a beautiful wedding but mixed with such sadness for Mordecai. I hope he had lived a long and eventful life, and is enjoying his reward in feline paradise.
That is the gambit of emotions! Congratulations to the beautiful newly married couple.
Hugs for kitty, and you.
I'm so sorry to hear abour Mordacai. It is so sad to lose a beloved member of yoyr family. Hugs to you and Mr P.
The wedding photos are beautiful, such a perfect day for a garden wedding! The bride looks beautiful, and I love the way the groom looks so laidback.
All my cats are now sharing The Great Duvet in the Sky & hopefully not fighting.
Oh my what a perfect looking day for a wedding! Gorgeous couple. I am also sorry to hear about your orange kitty! I sincerely believe the loss of pets is more painful than people :(.
Lovely post and photos Shay ( though I would have liked one of you in all your glory!). Looks like the perfect wedding . So sorry to hear about Mordecai.
So sorry to hear about Mordecai (excellent pet name, BTW). I'm sure he's happy, loved and well taken-care of.
Thanks for sharing the wedding. The bride looked amazing. Loved their wedding ring photo, and the photo of them all sitting around the table. Excellent! Congratulations to the happy couple.
Wow! You have to be exhausted emotionally. Congrats to your family taking in a new spirit. That's very exciting. I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your cat, though. They're such lovely friends. It is very difficult to move on without them.
Looks like wedding day was perfect for just about everyone. Hope it was a fun day for all. I guess you survived the pink bridal shower.
So sorry that Mordecai had to go. Hopefully he's got the the cat nip he could want along with those behind the ear scratches.
Pretty pictures at the wedding, ah, joy and sorrow blended in one day. I'm so sorry for your loss of your furbaby Mordecai!
Highs and good byes - that's what life is made of. Congrats to your nephew - he has great taste in women, that's for sure.
Hugs to you regarding your orangie. So sorry for your loss.

Acadiana has become known as the home of family friendly Mardi Gras — drawing crowds of more than 300,000 from around the nation and the world.
Mardi Gras in Lafayette may have started out as a small version of New Orleans’ giant party, but it’s grown into its own over the years.
Mardi Gras season, sometimes called Carnival season, begins Jan. 6, on the Christian feasts of the Epiphany and culminates on the day before Ash Wednesday, 47 days before Easter. The celebration dates back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rites. Over time, Christianity incorporated popular traditions, and the excess and debauchery of the Mardi Gras season eventually became a prelude to Lent.
This year, Fat Tuesday falls on March 5.
Acadiana has become known as the family friendly alternative to New Orleans Mardi Gras — drawing crowds of more than 300,000 from around the nation and the world.
So, if you are new to the area or one of thousands of visitors, welcome. Consider us your guide to all things Mardi Gras.
Lafayette's Mardi Gras parades begin dowtown at the junction of Simcoe, Surrey and Jefferson streets. The three-mile route winds through downtown and down Johnston to College, ending at Cajun Field.
In Lafayette, parade season traditionally kicks off with is the Krewe of Rio. This year, Rio will be pre-empted by Lafayette's first walking parade, the Krewe des Canailles, which takes place on Friday, Feb. 22.
In the society world, Mardi Gras is like the World Series of social events. Only it takes place over many, many weeks. The gowns, the tuxes, the royalty, the pageants — local Mardi Gras krewes prepare all year for their ball. They are grand affairs that follow time-honored traditions. Even if you don't belong to a krewe or you weren't lucky enough to get a ball invitation, you may want to consult the schedule. Traffic around party venues can be a bear during Mardi Gras.
QUIZ: How much do you know about Lafayette's krewes?
In many areas, king cake is associated with the festival of Epiphany at the end of the Christmas season. In South Louisiana, it is synonymous with Mardi Gras.
Like a traditional French king cake made of puff pastry and marzipan? Prefer a king cake that's braided, filled and fried up like a doughnut? How about a whole-wheat or a gluten-free one? In Acadiana, the king cake options are plenty.
In Cajun Country, Mardi Gras isn't just an event, it describes those dressed in rags and masks who — traditionally — go door to door for community feast ingredients.
The Courir de Mardi Gras, held in many small towns around Acadiana, features costumed men and women on horseback and trucks who travel the countryside to beg neighbors for ingredients to a gumbo, usually with a musical band and onlookers following behind. Once they back in town, a communal gumbo is traditionally cooked and enjoyed, sometimes accompanied by a fais do-do or community dance.
You can experience courirs in such communities as Church Point and Mamou. You can also get a taste of the tradition Feb. 24 at Courir de Mardi Gras at Vermilionville.
Bookmark this page; we will add photos from balls, parades and courirs as they occur.

A new annual tradition will start at the end of 2018. On New Year’s Day 2019, hundreds of thousands of movies, books, paintings, drawings, and musical scores will be stripped of their copyright and enter the public domain. For decades, American copyright laws have kept Intellectual Property (IP) from 1923 on under copyrighted, but starting in 2019 all works created in 1923 will convert from copyright protected to copyright free. The next year, on January 1, 2020, the tradition will continue with IP from 1924, and so on year after year. Online companies are taking notice too, with Google Books setting up many of its millions of scanned books, that were published in 1923, to automatically allow full-text free online viewing.
10. Harold Lloyd’s Safety Last!
The 1923 movie Safety Last! contains one of the most iconic scenes in silent film history, where actor Harold Lloyd desperately clings to the hands of a large clock on the side of a skyscraper. Roger Ebert called it the most famous scene in a silent comedy. Back then, film safety was pretty much non-existent and a few years earlier, in 1919, Lloyd had actually lost a thumb and forefinger doing promotional work for another film, Haunted Spooks.
His performance in Safety Last! and the movie’s box office numbers cemented his place as an A-List leading man. In honor of its lasting influence and cultural importance, the Library of Congress added Safety Last! to its National Film Registry in 1994. On January 1, 2019, it will be stripped of its copyrighted status and enter the public domain, where you can do anything you want with the film.
Robert Delaunay and his wife Sonia Delaunay were some of the founders of the Orphism art movement, an offshoot of Cubism (of Pablo Picasso fame). Respected art critic Guillaume Apollinaire thought that art should be like music and that Orphism, with its colors and shapes, reflected that. At 38-years-old, in 1923, Robert Delaunay painted an Orphism masterpiece when he created “Hélice.” Today the original canvas is displayed in the German Wilhelm-Hack-Museum. And on January 1, 2019, it’ll be public domain so you can print it and use it however you want.
Considered one of the founding fathers of American cinema, Cecil B. DeMille made over 70 films before dying of heart failure in 1959. His films span every genre and over his career he created both silent movies and talkies (or movies with a soundtrack). He started acting in and producing plays, but entered into the world of movies with his first film, The Squaw Man, in 1914. It was the first feature-length motion picture filmed in Hollywood. A 17-minute short film, In Old California, was technically the first motion picture shot in Hollywood. The Squaw Man was a huge success and cemented Hollywood as the center of movie production.
Nine years later, in May 1923, DeMille started production on an epic biblical story, The Ten Commandments (no, not the Charlton Heston version). The movie stunned Hollywood insiders when DeMille became the first producer to spend over $1,000,000 on a film. He claims the backers actually fired him due to the cost overruns but were forced to hire him back, as he was the only man who could finish the production. When the movie was released in 1923 it smashed box office records and was Paramount’s highest grossing film for 25 years.
The period drama featured huge, life-size sets of Ancient Egypt. After filming, the sets were abandoned to the elements and buried under the shifting sands of California’s Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, the largest remaining dune system south of San Francisco. In 2012 archaeologists uncovered the forgotten Egyptian “ruins” created for the film and unearthed several monuments, including one of the 12-foot tall, 5-ton Sphinxes that were produced for the movie.
Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky is considered one of the founders of abstract art and for decades was considered to have created the first purely abstract painting. His 1923 tension series paintings including Zarte Spannung (Delicate Tension) were painted while he worked at the Bauhaus, Berlin a German art school. After they were finished the paintings were in a museum until 1937, when it was shut down under Hitler’s crackdown on art.
The paintings and their owner, Baroness Hilla Rebay, a daughter of a Prussian General, then moved to America where she became one of the founding members of New York’s Guggenheim art museum. After the Nazis closed Berlin’s Bauhaus art school in 1933, Kandinsky moved to France, where he painted until he died from complications of cerebrovascular disease in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, on December 13, 1944.
Charlie Chaplin had been doing films since 1914 and almost from the beginning played his iconic character, the Tramp. His movies attracted huge numbers and gave him fame and fortune. In 1919 he co-founded United Artists as a means to give him control over film production.
The Pilgrim was released on February 26, 1923. The 46-minute movie was his second shortest feature. Jeffrey Vance, in his 2003 book Chaplin: Genius of the Cinema, says that “The Pilgrim is one of Chaplin’s richest—and most neglected—films.” In 1959 Chaplin released The Pilgrim (1923) along with A Dog’s Life (1918), and Shoulder Arms (1918) as a trilogy called The Chaplin Revue in hopes of being able to reboot the Tramp character.
Robert Frost is an iconic American poet who tallied four Pulitzer Prizes for his work (New Hampshire in 1924; Collected Poems in 1931; A Further Range in 1937; and A Witness Tree in 1943). His work inspires many and these poems are a trusted foundation for eulogy speeches.
His piece “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is no exception and has been used to honor the dead, including during the funeral for assassinated President John F. Kennedy. Current Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also honored his father, former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, when he used an altered line of the poem during his father’s funeral.
Studied by students around the world, Frost’s poetry is carefully monitored by the Frost estate and when his prose is used without permission, cease and desist lawsuits are quick to fly. Famous composer Eric Whitacre found this out the hard way when he completed a commissioned piece for the funeral of the parents of a woman named Julia Armstrong. Listeners at the funeral were enamored with the piece and soon Whitacre was swamped by requests from conductors trying to get the musical score. Around the same time, Frost’s estate caught wind of the score and its use of the poem and, in a flurry of lawsuits, shut it down.
This all ends when “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” enters the public domain. It was actually set to enter the public domain in 1998, 75 years after first publication but on October 27, 1998, Congress passed the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, which extended the copyright term to 95 years which makes the poem enter the public domain on January 1, 2019.
German painter Georg Schrimpf is seen as the main founder of the art trend Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). Schrimpf also, after World War I, participated in the brief existence of the Bavarian Soviet Republic before it was crushed by the remnants of the Imperial German Army. As Hitler tightened the screws of Nazi power Schrimpf was fired from his university in 1937 and his work was banned as “Degenerate Art” because he was involved in the Bavarian Soviet and deemed a communist. On April 19, 1938, he died at age 49.
In 1923 he painted “Still Life With Cat.” Germany released a commemorative stamp of the image on January 12, 1995, but the original painting is at the Staatsgalerie Moderne Kunst Museum. 1995 was the last year that Deutsche Bundespost (German federal post office) existed and appeared on stamps, as that year it was dissolved during a government privatization push.
Felix Salten published Bambi: A Life in the Woods in 1923. His target audience was adults and it was first published as a serialized tale in Austria. The story was hugely popular and caught the eye of Max Schuster, co-founder of the now giant publishing company Simon & Schuster. He got the book translated, allowing the English world to follow the transformation of Bambi from a weak and powerless fawn into a mighty stag and Great Prince of the Forest.
Ohio State University professor Paul Reitter contends that Salten, a Jew that faced discrimination in Austria, wrote the story as a metaphor for the Jewish existence in Europe, arguing, “Could the deer living in a forest ever trust that human hunters would let them live in peace? That echoes a haunting question for Jews” and antisemitism in 1920s Europe.
From 1933, efforts were made to animate the story but the technical limitations of animation at the time prevented making the film, until Walt Disney was able to overcome all obstacles and in 1939 started making the now iconic cartoon, eventually spending three years on the project before releasing the movie in 1942. A close adaption of the book, Disney was able to use a loophole in copyright law to try and avoid paying Salten a dime.
Almost a decade before the 1928 debut of Mickey Mouse (in Steamboat Willie), animator Otto Messmer and his boss Pat Sullivan were trying to create a marketable character, toying with a cartoon black cat. After months of tweaking, two films were released: Feline Follies on November 9, 1919, and on November 16, 1919 it was Musical Mews (a film that has been lost). But the cat in these films was a prototype dubbed Master Tom. The first film with a cat named Felix was The Adventures of Felix, released on December 14, 1919. It was the first character created solely for the film industry, the first character to reach a high level of fame, and also the first character to be licensed and merchandised, bringing in huge money for Sullivan’s animation company.
One of the most popular cartoon characters, Felix the Cat has been beloved by millions for decades. His image has adorned everything from being the oldest recognized mascot in the state of Indiana to the official emblem of the United States Navy strike fighter squadron VFA-31, the second oldest Navy Fighter Attack squadron operating today. Come January 1, 2019, any Felix cartoons released in 1923 or before will be released into the public domain.

I made tilapia for the first time while at the beach and it was a mouth-watering success. It was easy and delicious and below is the recipe I used. As per usual, I came up with it after glancing at a few different suggestions then picking and choosing elements that I like from each one to create my own. So far, so good!
Estimate 1/2-1 pound of fish for each person. Rinse your talapia in cool water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Butter a Pyrex baking dish and add another tablespoon of chopped unsalted butter to the bottom of the dish.
Dice your chives and sprinkle them atop your talapia.
Serve with extra lemons slices, and with whole grain rice and a delicious fresh organic veggie like tomatoes or corn on the cob. Enjoy!

As more and more research comes out highlighting the importance of a healthy body AND mind, I’d like to highlight four different types of meditation and visualization that can be used by martial artists.
This is one of the purest forms of meditation, and one of the best ones to start playing with if you are a meditation newbie. To practice this all you have to do is stop for a few moments at any time during the day and focus on being fully present in that moment. You don’t need to change your breathing, just notice it. You don’t have to say anything, or do anything, or be anywhere. Just stop and pay attention. Be present in the moment, for a few minutes.
For a focused meditation, you will need to set your mind to solving a problem, visualizing a goal, or imagining a scenario play out the way you want it to. Athletes stand to benefit the most from an exercise like this (we all remember the Michael Phelps face from the last summer Olympics, don’t we?).
Martial artists can use this form of meditation also to visualize performing a specific technique, or the way a fight is going to play out. The brain doesn’t recognize the difference very well between imagining you’ve done something and actually doing it. We can capitalize on that and better prepare ourselves for combat by visualizing different scenarios in a fight so that if we ever find ourselves there, it’s not the first time (at least in our minds). Being a step ahead like that will help us not to freeze, and be better prepared to react correctly and quickly.
A movement meditation is when you perform an activity and you are focused solely on the movement. This type of meditation can be simple or complicated. An example of a simple movement meditation would be to pick some pattern to do with your arms and close your eyes while you repeat that pattern (martial artists, imagine doing Hubud Lubud with a partner with your eyes closed).
A complex movement meditation could be something like a form or rolling in Jiu Jitsu. When you are grappling with a partner, you can’t help but be entirely focused and concentrated on this one activity - or you will get choked out pretty quickly. Doing this a couple of times per week works wonders on mental health, stress relief, and overall happiness.
I recommend starting with the first one, and then slowly trying to integrate some of these different forms of meditation into your martial arts practice, and your life, and see the impact it has on you.

Sadly today our series will come to a conclusion. Thanks so much to everyone who’s joined in for the past couple of weeks, I truly hope you’ve enjoyed our time together as much as I have. And I hope those of you in Australia (besides QLD & WA) are excited for the long weekend coming up!
Today’s passage is a rather long one, so buckle up and hold-on tight, we’re in for a bumpy (but relatively fun) ride.
Today’s passage is about one of my favourite topics – FOOD!! I often suffer from what is known as being ‘hangry,’ you know when you reach that place where you’re just so hungry you start getting angry at everything because you can’t stop thinking about food? Most of my friends know this about me and are quick to encourage me to eat when I reach this point. Whenever I’m in this state of being hangry, it’s not uncommon that I start imagining things about food, especially delicious food that I would really like to be consuming in that very moment.
It’s been less than 24 hours since Cornelius sent messengers to fetch Peter as the angel had instructed him. Let’s find out what was happening for Peter at this same time, and how he responds when he wants to eat.
Welcome to Tuesday! Today we are reunited with our good friend Peter. We last saw Peter in Samaria a few days ago. Now we’re going to hear a bit more about what he’s been up to, and I should warn you, it’s pretty epic.
Acts 9:32-35 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord’s people who lived in Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up. All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
Welcome to a new week! I hope you all had an amazing weekend, I certainly did.
Last week we finished up with Saul’s conversion experience and baptism. Now that he’s a believer, let’s find out what happens for him next.
Acts 9:19-25 Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?” Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.
What a turn of events. Can you imagine the reactions from the believers in the town? They would’ve heard about Saul coming with approval from the high priest to take them to prison, and yet now he’s turned up declaring that Jesus is the Son of God!
Welcome back! We’ve made it to the end of our first week together, and I’m pretty excited about today’s passage. Today, we get introduced properly to Saul who we briefly met at the beginning of the week. Saul’s a very significant person in the New Testament, and we’re about to witness possibly the most famous conversion in church history.
This is one of my favourite quotes: “The problem with the world today is communication. There’s too much communication.” ~ Homer Simpson.
I love this, first of all because it speaks a lot of truth about our digital world which is inundated with communication, second of all because it was spoken by my favourite cartoon character, and thirdly because my first degree is in communications (thus a joke about communication appeals even more to my sense of humour).
Today we’re going on another adventure with Philip and there’s a lot of communication going on. Let’s take a look.
Hello again! Welcome back. Yesterday we heard about how something humans had intended for evil (the severe persecution of Christians), God instead used for good (the spreading of his good news throughout the world). Today we get up close and personal with one of these Christians and hear about how God used him in an amazing way.
Acts 8:4-8 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city.
Philip was one of the Christians who was forced to leave Jerusalem amidst the persecution, and he found himself in Samaria. I don’t know about you, but I think if I’d been forced to leave my home because my life was in danger most of my following actions would be pretty selfish. I’d want to find safety, shelter, food, clothing and an array of other things to help keep myself protected. I think I’d probably try to stay low, to keep out of sight of any potential bounty hunters who had been sent after me. But instead of looking out for himself, we find Philip doing the exact opposite and drawing crowds to come as he proclaims Christ to the people he encounters in Samaria.
Today we’re beginning a new series and for the next 10 days, and I (Sheree) get to take over Coffee with the King (and give Tim a break). In this series we’ll be looking at Acts 8-10, honing in on the formation of the church in the first century and also the conversion of the apostle Saul.
But first, let me introduce myself. Some of you may remember me, I was one of Tim’s preaching students in 2015 (view my previous blog here). More importantly than that however, for the past 4 years I’ve had the privilege of being one of Tim’s colleagues at Morling College where until recently I was the Marketing Manager. I have been studying theology at Morling on and off since 2005, and I am so excited to get into God’s word with all of you. I also enjoy photography, I am currently attempting horse riding lessons, and once I fed a kangaroo while I was dressed as a kangaroo.

I am sure by this stage of my blog posts you have gathered that this pregnancy is entirely different than my first.
With my first I felt energetic, fit and healthy. A light run, gym session or circuits would have been a part of my week after work (the joys of having no one depend on you). This time making my way to the top of the stairs and into the shower required more recovery time than what I would have taken after a 10 mile run.
Naturally with feeling so lathargic it also dampens your spirits. My normal feel good activity would be exercise so I knew I needed to find something that uplifted not only my body but my mind.
At the same time yoga classes were starting in Ballymena. I contacted Klara and explained I was 24 weeks pregnant, was made aware of some adaptions and happily started the class. From the first class I felt energised and content, I was able to do most of the class as my bump was still small but I was not able to do everything (no head stands) and that was ok as I have learnt not to put high expectations on my body, I was taking time for myself and the relaxing techniques at the start and end of the classes were enough to make me feel like I got so much benefit.
At 28 weeks things started to get a little harder for regular yoga, the bump was skimming the floor while doing sun salutations and shoulder stands where proving difficult but I didn’t want to stop. I felt positive after my sessions, less anxious and began to truly trust my body.
At this stage it felt right to start some yoga practise from home so we could do some gentle prenatal yoga. This is different from birthing classes (which I attended this time and would highly recommend) still uses breathing techniques but is a good work out while being gentle and mindful enough of the precious cargo on board.
I felt that with these pregnancy focused sessions I gained so much… exercise, time to stop, connect and bond with my baby through the breathing and visualisation techniques and also sleep better after these classes.
Now at the end of my pregnancy classes I am thankful I have found a new way to relax and relieve stress. I will definitely be keeping yoga up once baby is born as I have felt massive benefits for both body and mind. Baby Corry will also be attending baby yoga as I saw the amazing benefits it had with Bella (normally a massive nap afterwards which let me catch up on housework… Just kidding! SLEEP).
So now my plans are to relax and wait on meeting the little one I have spent so many hours, days, weeks and months imagining. I think this is so appropriate and perfect for this time…. Namasté.

n. - Device that enables something to be used in a way different from that for which it was intended or makes different pieces of apparatus compatible.
Well, just make an adaptor from the “universal charger” to iPhone.
The charger itself uses an AC adaptor, that is included.
First you have to buy the DSvision adaptor, which is a regular DS cartridge with a mini-SD slot.
First off, Safari gets served the menu adaptor which is fully functional but does not support the dynamic fly-outs.

The Fender FA-100 Fender Acoustic Guitar Pack includes the FA-100 Dreadnought Acoustic which has everything from the exclusive Fender headstock, bridge, and pickguard shape, to the forward-mounted strap button, and comes with a 6 mm padded gig bag. This budget-conscious acoustic delivers the tone of more expensive instruments. So get ready and start playing now.
This deal is a steal for a name brand guitar. Order today.
Great sounding, good sustain, looks real good. Finish is not perfect. Hello its a 120.00 beginners guitar. If you want a better finish spend another 400.00. If you want to learn.This is it, jam on. ALL guitars need a good set up this one is no different. This one the strings are a little high. Once this is adjusted it will take you far.
.I was looking for a decent sounding guitar that wouldn't break the bank and got this one on the basis of the reviews I read here. I have been playing a long time in a church group but my hands are getting older so I didn't want to spend a lot. This is a very light easy to play guitar. I was happier with it when I changed the strings as suggested.
.The guitar keeps tuned, great attenuation and nice sound.
Right away I played the guitar and the sound was great. I love the action of this guitar sound...it does wonders. The strings are not so tight like most acoustics...very easy to play bar chords.
.Too hard to play. Combination of high action and heavy strings makes it uncomfortable to play. If you have to take the guitar to a tech there goes the bargain price.
.Im just learning to ply guitar but my teacher who happens to be a good friend of mine and extremely into music works at his family music teaching business so he knows alot about instruments. Highly recommended this guitar out of a few other fenders and yamahas.
.Purchased this for my step daughter as her first acoustic. She has been taking lessons and playing on an electric for over a year. She absolutely loves this guitar. Amazing quality at an amazing price!
.I am a retired professional woodwind musician and have decided to learn how to play the guitar.
I have considerable knowledge about high end musical instruments. I did not want to spend a lot of money on my 1st guitar but wanted a top brand that would be reliable. The Fender FA 100 meets that requirement. The instrument arrived ready to play right out of the carton! It was almost in tune. Everything was perfect. Very satisfied.
.I started out my guitar career with a junky piece of wannabe guitar, and it sounded just as awful, refused to stay tuned and the strings were so far from the fret board that I was nearly amputating my fingertips with each chord. So that's an exaggeration, but I want to get my point across.
So, what I was looking for when I sought another guitar was something that was full-size, sounded professional, stayed tuned and had a reasonable distance (action) between the strings and the frets. This guitar gave me all of that, plus it is so fantastically inexpensive for such a nice guitar, is supremely shiny, and it comes with the fender insignia to-boot.

The MSI MEG products are really quite nice. They all share a common design aesthetic and feature all of the same basic features. The MSI MEG Z390 ACE is a very nice looking motherboard with all the right features for an affordable enthusiast level motherboard. Overall style would look great in any custom PC and unlike previous editions all of the decorative stuff is not covered up when the build is complete. The large I/O cover features an infinity style RGB LED strip which can be controlled and synchronized with external components using the MSI Mystic Light software and really accounts for the major onboard RGB Lighting.
As the photos showed MSI is still adding some of the “popular” features to the Z390 ACE including metal reinforced memory sockets and PCI Express slots. These do appear to be soldered directly to the PCB so they will provide some lateral support for some of the heavier PC components.
The UEFI layout just works. MSI has used the same design for many years and simply tweaked the configuration items as needed. This might be my experience talking but, I felt navigation the Z390 ACE to be very quick with all of the advanced options being hidden allowing me to get to the major features fast. Of course an experienced overclocker will be living in the advanced menus and luckily it doesn’t take long to get there.
When it comes to overclocking I found the Z390 ACE to be very responsive both to manual adjustments and the automatic ones. I was never a fan of the Game Boost dial, mostly because it never seemed to work correctly. However, on the Z390 ACE I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Core i7 8700K would run stable at 10 and would boot to Windows at 11. With Game Boost enabled it really opened up the game benchmarks adding 100FPS to both UT3 and COD4. It didn’t help any of the other benchmarks as they focused on multithreaded performance over a single core.
Manually running the CPU slower, at 5.1Ghz, and syncing all of the cores slowed game performance but, increased all of the other scores. To me that is still a win and explains why the dial is called “GAME” Boost.
Overall I really enjoyed using the MSI Z390 ACE. It tested well, has a nice layout and a great set of features. Stability was what you would expect and overclocking was exciting and uneventful (As it should be). As I mentioned earlier the ACE is one step below the MEG Z390 Godlike and comes with many LN2 ready provisions like a Slow Mode switch, LN2 Switch (to kill the cold bug), Voltage Test points, Debug LED, Dual 8-pin CPU power sockets and lots of space around the CPU VRM. I’d really like to eventually get this board on my SS Phase or LN2 very soon and with any luck do the same with the Godlike version later.

Gerontopsychology as the psychology of adult development and aging aims at describing and explaining changes in the structures and processes that influence individuals' experience and behavior across the lifespan into very old age. To understand human lifespan development, improving our understanding of the development of social, emotional, cognitive, and personality resources and how they interact with environmental conditions is essential.
The gerontopsychology and gerontology program collaborates closely with the University Research Priority Program (URPP) Dynamics of Healthy Aging and the Center for Gerontology of the University of Zurich as well as national and international experts from different disciplines in teaching and research.

Do you use your computer or mobile devices right before bed? Do you have trouble falling asleep after using your mobile device? If so, installing f.lux on your mobile device or computer might help you sleep better.
Research suggests that reading from a screen for a couple hours before bed delays sleep by about an hour. Studies have shown that it’s primarily the blue light from screens that keeps people up, even after they’ve put their device away.
f.lux is an app that you install on your computer or mobile device to minimize the blue light emitted by your screen. Once you set up the app, which includes picking your time zone and preferred filter, you don’t need to do anything else. f.lux will automatically adjust your screen to have less blue light depending on the time of day. It will gradually decrease the amount of blue light in the evening and increase it during the day.
I personally use f.lux on my computer. I find that the change in screen color is barely noticeable , but I definitely notice the change in my sleep patterns. I’m the type of person who usually does homework right up until I go to bed. It used to take me over an hour to fall asleep, but I fall asleep much faster with f.lux. I use one of the lighter filters, so it doesn’t change as dramatically as the heavier filters do. It’s also really easy to turn off from the bottom bar if I need to do any color-sensitive work. I would definitely recommend this app to any college student.
Check out the research behind f.lux and download it on your computer here.

Since earning two degrees at WGU Washington, Dana Ralph says she can make more-informed and intelligent choices as a business owner, elected official, mom and community volunteer.
Scholarship helps women ready to make a greater impact in the workplace and their communities.
When Dana Ralph decided run for Kent City Council in 2011, she had to provide information for the voter’s guide. She wrote down that she owned her own business, served as chair of the city’s Land Use and Planning Board, and was named president of the Kent Arts Commission. She also mentioned she was a longtime member of the PTA.
Dana knew she could help lead her hometown and would make a great councilwoman. The voters agreed and elected her to the City Council that year — where Dana has served ever since.
Still, as time passed and despite her success, Dana thought back to the voter’s guide. She was still bothered she had to leave one answer blank on that questionnaire: postsecondary education. She hadn’t graduated from college.
After researching her options, Dana realized WGU Washington would be an excellent fit. The university’s model is tailor-made for busy, working adults. It’s online and competency-based; that means, with faculty guidance, students can study and learn when it’s convenient for them — and move through the course content at their own pace. With her family’s support and encouragement, Dana enrolled.
As an elected official, Dana provides an example to driven, self-starting professionals. And it’s because of students and alumni like her that WGU Washington has launched the WGU Women in Leadership Scholarship. The scholarship – worth up to $2,000 ($500 per term up to four terms) – is intended for women ready to make a greater impact in the workplace and their communities.
That’s what motivated Dana. In fact, after earning her bachelor’s, she re-enrolled to WGU Washington and graduated with a master’s in Management and Leadership in 2015.
Dana embodies the importance of lifelong learning, especially to this region. For the Puget Sound area to remain competitive in a global economy, more and more working adults need college educations. In fact, according to the Washington Business Roundtable, a more skilled and educated workforce could create 160,000 new jobs, reduce unemployment by two percentage points, and generate nearly $800 million in new tax revenue across the state.
Dana and many other elected leaders recognize WGU Washington as part of the solution to get people the jobs and salaries they want – and keep the region economically strong.
“Recently, I was talking with a group of electeds about the growing demand in our region for a skilled workforce. While the conversation generally centers around students coming out of college, I was happy to point out that there is an untapped market in adults that may have chosen a nontraditional path.
And that perfectly describes Dana and how she’s leveraged her education to open several new doors of opportunity for herself.
Next up for Dana Ralph: She’ll be on the ballot when Kent elects a new mayor later this year. And when she provides information for the voter’s guide ahead of that election, she’ll be able to proudly declare she’s a graduate of WGU Washington.

The Court of Appeals’ decision in in Cemex Construction Materials South, LLC v. Falcone Bros. & Assoc., Inc., 237 Ariz. 236 (App. 2015), which is the subject of this post from May 2015, will cease being good law on August 6, 2016. The case was legislatively overruled by HB 2268, which was signed into law by Governor Ducey on May 12, 2016 and will become effective on August 6, 2016. My post on the effects of HB 2268 and its overruling of the Cemex decision can be found here.
It has been a longstanding construction industry practice to mail preliminary twenty-day notices on both private and public projects via first class mail with a certificate of mailing as a cost saving measure. This is done on private projects because the section of Arizona’s mechanic’s lien statutes requiring twenty-day notices —A.R.S. § 33-992.01 — expressly provides that they “may be given by mailing notice by first class mail sent with a certificate of mailing, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid in all cases.” First class mail is, obviously, the least expensive of the three alternatives. Twenty-day notices have also been mailed in the same fashion on public projects because the Little Miller Act section requiring them (in certain instances) incorporates by reference a significant portion of A.R.S. § 33-992.01.
The recent Arizona Court of Appeals decision in Cemex v. Falcone Bros. & Assocs., Inc. upends this longstanding practice. In Cemex, the Court ruled that preliminary twenty-day notices being served under Arizona’s Little Miller Act must be sent by certified or registered mail.
In Cemex, a material supplier furnished construction material to a subcontractor on a City of Tucson pubic works project. The supplier alleged that it had not been paid for the furnished materials, and sued the general contractor and its surety to recover against the posted Little Miller Act payment bond. In connection with its claim, the supplier asserted that it had served four preliminary twenty-day notices upon the general contractor pursuant to A.R.S. § 34-223(A), by mailing each notice via first class mail, postage prepaid, with a certificate of mailing. The general contractor, however, claimed that it did not receive any of the four alleged twenty-day notices.
The general contractor moved for summary judgment, claiming that the supplier’s bond claim was barred because: (1) the general contractor did not receive the twenty-day notices; and (2) even if it had, the notices were statutorily deficient insofar as they were sent by first class, rather than by registered or certified mail as provided for in last sentence of§ 34-223(A). The supplier maintained that the four notices it sent via first class mail satisfied its statutory requirements. The trial court ultimately agreed with the supplier, and entered judgment in the supplier’s favor for damages, pre-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The general contractor appealed.
On appeal, the general contractor argued that the subject preliminary twenty-day notices were inoperative because § 34-223(A) requires both Little Miller Act twenty-day notices and ninety day notices be served only by registered or certified mail. The supplier argued — consistent with industry practice — that the mailing provisions in § 34-223(A) only apply to ninety-day notices. The supplier also argued that the mailing provisions in the mechanic’s lien statute — A.R.S. § 33-992.01(F) — are implicitly incorporated into § 34-223(A), such that twenty-day notices served by first class mail with a certificate of mailing are proper.
The Court of Appeals rejected the supplier’s argument. Specifically, the Court found that pursuant to the “plain language of § 34-223(A), it is clear that the legislature did not intend the mailing provisions of § 33-992.01(F) to apply to the notices required by § 34-223(A).” In reaching this decision, the Court noted that, while § 34-223(A) incorporates many of the subsections of § 33-992.01, subsection (F) is excluded. As a result, the Court held that the mailing provisions in § 34-223(A) apply to both twenty-day and ninety-day notices, and that Little Miller Act preliminary twenty-day notices must be served by certified or registered mail.
Given the holding in Cemex, contractors and suppliers involved in public works projects should immediately take steps to ensure that their preliminary twenty-day notices are being sent via registered or certified mail.

This 4K restoration of Kurosawa’s classic film includes lots of extras, including an interview with the wonderful Mieko Harada.
A fairly free adaptation of King Lear, Ran (the title apparently translates as ‘Chaos’) is in essence an antiwar film. It is an epic, yes, and Kurosawa the storyteller commands your attention throughout. Yet each scene is a poem.
The killer sequence is a montage of images of death following a virulent castle siege. It almost stops your heart; you think of Bosch and Goya. The warring men (Lear has sons, not daughters, in this adaptation) are weak and the woman (the Edmund figure, here reminiscent of Lady Macbeth) is fiendishly strong. In this latter role, Mieko Harada gives a fierce performance.
A few times the Lear figure (here a Japanese warlord, played by Tatsuya Nakadai) lifts his eyes up to the sky; a telling gesture. Kurosawa and his Japanese audience knew what Shakespeare did not, that apocalyptic ruin can come from the air.
Ran, a Studio Canal release, is out now on DVD and Blu-ray, details here.

There is a montage of images of death following a virulent castle siege that almost stops your heart. You think of Bosch and Grunewald. A few times the Lear figure (here a Japanese warlord, played by Tatsuya Nakadai) lifts his eyes to the sky: terror can come from the air as well, as Kurosawa and we well know.

Croatia is a country with beautiful nature, obvious Mediterranean temperament everywhere, picturesque towns, authenticity, culture and long-lasting history.
Croatia is also full of paradisal islands abounding of pine trees, an endless Venetian breeze, strange rocky landscapes and a swarm of sailing boats embedded in the turquoise waters of the Croatian coastline all summer long.
Croatia stretches along the northeastern coast of the Adriatic Sea wherein the north, the landscape becomes flatter and the country makes a draft to the east, where Zagreb, the capital of the country is. As for the coastline well… From Cavtat and Dubrovnik in the south up to the peninsula of Istria in the north, some 1,800 kilometres of amazing shoreline awaits us all.
The scenery in front of us is picture-perfect. Slopes full of trees seem to run into the sea while driving around the coast. Amazing nature with connecting lakes a little further inland, mountains, plains, islands and islets are all part of what Croatia has to offer to its visitors.

The European Commission wants new powers to oversee the way new cars are approved before they are sold, but it has never used a key scrutinising power it has had for more than eight years, the EUobserver has learned.
Under current rules, the commission can ask a member state to submit assessments of the test facilities that carry out certification tasks including emissions testing.
But this website learned from a freedom of information request that the commission has never asked for such a report, raising questions about its proposal in January that it should be given more powers.
In order to be allowed to sell a car on the European market, manufacturers need to obtain a certificate, a so-called type approval.
These are handed out by national authorities like the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) in the UK or the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) in Germany.
However, most of the authorities outsource the actual testing to private companies.
These companies, designated as so-called technical services, have come under scrutiny in the past nine months since it emerged that they had been unable to detect Volkswagen Group (VW) using software to fool the emissions test.
Since these companies are paid directly by car makers, critics of the system are worried there is a conflict of interest.
According to a 2007 directive, national governments are in charge of making sure that the technical services have the proper skills and technical knowledge to do their job.
The directive required member states to demonstrate those skills by providing an assessment report, at least once every three years.
“The assessment report shall be communicated to the commission upon request,” the legislation said.
This website filed a freedom of information request with the commission on 12 April, and asked for all assessment reports the commission had so far received.
On Monday (30 May), the commission told this website that it never had received such documents.
“We regret to inform you that no documents were found that would correspond to the description given in your application,” the commission's directorate for industry said in a letter.
That's because the commission never asked for them.
"We have not had reason to question the technical capability of technical services," EU commission spokeswoman Lucia Caudet told this website.
"Our focus is on improving the testing methodology and the independence of testing.
"We are introducing robust tests to measure emissions in real driving conditions, and will keep refining and reviewing the tests to ensure the strictest emissions limits are really met.
"We have also tabled a full overhaul of the type approval system, including proposals to avoid potential conflicts of interest of technical services, more stringent performance criteria, and regular and independent audits."
If the proposal, which needs approval from member states and the EU parliament, is adopted, the commission would be granted the power “to suspend, restrict or withdraw the designation of technical services that are under-performing and too lax in applying the rules”.

Railworkers at the Oshawa Harbour made a grizzly discovery on Sunday evening, finding what appeared to be the body of a male in his 20s.
The Durham Regional Police cordoned off the scene around 5 p.m. on May 15 and the Coroner’s office was brought in for a preliminary examination.
The body has since been sent to the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service to determine the cause of death. According to a news release and DRPS spokesperson Bill Calder, signs of trauma were found on the body.
“The trauma that they spotted on the body was enough to say it should go to the forensic centre,” Calder says, noting it is too early to speculate on further details. “It’s just too early to even go any further with what we put out there,” he says.

In my previous blogs, I describe the framework around which you manage a project, the process groups, and we started with the first knowledge area ‘Scope’. I now continue with the second knowledge area - Schedule.
Everybody knows what a schedule is, right? It’s one of the first questions your boss is going to ask you – ‘when are you going to get this project done by?’ It’s also a knowledge area that affects all the others to a high degree. A late running project is going to cost more, increase procurement, de-motivate teams and make your key stakeholders want to interfere. In my industry - the semiconductor sector - this cost can run into millions of dollars. As such it’s one that you need to get right and yet, when I completed my PMP certification I was not presented with the anticipated crystal ball!
This is because running schedule management is not about predicting the future. It’s not about that multi-page Gantt chart that only you understand, took you a week to create and is wrong before you even mailed it to your boss. It’s instead about knowing what you have to do on the project, knowing, based on current understanding, how much resources a task is going to take and knowing when the right people are around to do that task. Once you have a grip on this knowledge, you begin to have a bit more control of future events and can react when that inevitable curve-ball comes your way.
You are then focussing your energy and time more efficiently.
Have you done this before? (Analogous) If yes, how long did it take then, if not…..
Have you done this before but more simpler/more complex? (Parametric) If yes, scale the time i.e. a 1M instance block took 6 weeks then a 2M block might take 12 week, if not….
Give me your optimistic, pessimistic and most likely durations? (PERT) Duration = (O + P + 4M) / 6. Still no idea, the task is too complicated….
A good project manager will know the critical path of the project. That is the chain of tasks and dependencies where there is no room for something to go wrong. Any task that gets delayed will delay the project unless something is done to rectify it. You can use a Gantt chart, a spreadsheet or any other tool of your preference to work it out, just as long as you have considered the question. I also find being able to tell your manager what the critical path of a project is on a moment’s notice will stop them asking to see the useless multi-page Gantt chart which you haven’t created because you are using Rolling Wave Planning!
Crashing – We can add extra resources on to the task but it must be a task that can be divided up and can be multiple assigned. Also, be aware of Brooks’ Law: adding extra resources onto a late project makes it later. The extra resources rarely hit the road running and will require training, taking time away from the existing team. If you are too close to the end you may not make up on that loss.
Fast Tracking – We can start a task before its predecessor has finished at the risk of rework. For example, if we are building a house we would normally wait for the foundation to be completed before building the walls but we could fast track the wall building in certain completed areas of the foundation. Risk is if we discover a problem we’ll have to knock down those walls and start again but if not we’ve managed to save time by parallelising the activities.
This is a brief insight into some of the key concepts of managing Schedule but with just these you should be able to clear a bit the fog that obscures the future. In the next blog, I will continue our examination of the knowledge areas with the Cost knowledge area.

Under the American Rule “each litigant pays his own expense, win or lose, unless a statute or contract provides otherwise.” But recently the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has sought to flip the American Rule by seeking to recover its attorney’s fees even when it loses.
Parties seeking to register a trademark (symbols or words representing a company, product or service) or a patent (exclusive right to use of invention) must register their applications with the USPTO. If the USPTO rejects their applications, the parties can appeal to their local federal district court or the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. The Lanham Act, which governs trademarks, provides that “all the expenses of the proceeding shall be paid by the party bringing the case…” 15 U.S.C. 107(b)(3); The Patent Act, which governs patent applications, provides that “[a]ll the expenses of the proceedings shall be paid by the applicant. 35 U.S.C §145.
Historically, the USPTO only sought reimbursement of costs (travel, expert fees, etc.) borne from opposing these trademark or patent appeals, but in 2013, the USPTO began seeking reimbursement of its attorney’s fee as well.
In Nankwest, Inc. v. Matal,(E.D. Virginia 2016) 162 F. Supp.3d 540, the applicant challenged the USPTO’s decision rejecting its patent application. The trial court partially accepted and partially rejected the challenge to the USPTO’s decision. The USPTO sought to recover its attorney’s fees along with its other costs, but the trial court rejected the USPTO’s request, finding that such fees are “authorized only when there is a specific and explicit provision for the allowance of attorney’s fees under the selected statute.” Id. at 543.
The USPTO appealed to the Federal Circuit, which reversed the trial court, Nankwest, Inc. v. Matal (Fed. Cir. 2017) 860 F.3d. 1352., concluding that “Given the Supreme Court’s construction of ‘expenses,’ the guidance dictionary and treatises provide on the term, and the context in which Congress applied it, we conclude the term ‘expenses’ includes the USPTO’s attorney’s fees under § 145.” Id. at 1358. Two months later the entire Federal Circuit vacated the panel’s decision and set the matter for en banc review. So stay tuned on the final word from the Federal Circuit.

The philosopher, Marsilio Ficino, after whom our school is named, as well as being a priest, doctor and writer was a lover of Plato and translated all his works from Greek into Latin. In his numerous letters, Ficino often draws on the teachings of Plato and shares them in a most beautiful way with his friends and leading Florentines of his day. In our first assembly of this term, we explored one such letter, entitled The Way of Happiness. In it Ficino explores the idea that it is fortunate to be born with innate gifts and talents but stresses the importance of making use of them. For without using our talents they surely wither in potency. Ficino goes even further, following Plato’s lead, to suggest that it is not just using our talents that leads to acting well and thus happiness, but it is using them rightly. Without rightful use we may act badly which undoubtedly leads to unhappiness. In the assembly, it was explained to the children that everyone has gifts and therefore it is incumbent on us all to learn how to use them wisely. Ficino’s conclusion is that ultimately this is the only route to real happiness. Part of any good education then must be an attempt to draw out the innate wisdom in children such that they know to act well. Ficino suggests that this should be the foremost pursuit in life and that from it all else will follow, especially happiness. This is reminiscent of Christ’s words “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.
If you are interested in finding out more about Marsilio Ficino, the office has copies of a new fundraising book An Introduction to Marsilio Ficino which contains a selection of his letters.
In our Friday assembly, the whole school was treated to an exploration of the wonder of Science by Mr Ian Milne. He quoted Socrates who said “wonder is the beginning of understanding”. Mr Milne proceeded to arouse that sense of awe and wonder which can be found in the everyday things around us, if we only take time to look and to ask questions. Many thanks to Mr Milne for judging our Science Fair again this year.
A reminder that the school day will finish for the children after lunch. Please collect your children from school at 12.45pm on Monday. There will be no After School Care. The 15 minute interviews for Classes 1 – 6 will be held in your child’s classroom, and the 10 minute Year 7 & 8 interviews will be in the school hall as per previous years.
For safety reasons, children must not walk between the cars and the side of the villa during afternoon dismissal, even when accompanied by an adult.
Thank you for all the offers of help for the Cross Country Runs next week. If you have offered to help, Mrs Setters will send you an email confirming where you will be helping. We will send an email out to parents by 10.30am on Wednesday if the event needs to be postponed due to wet weather.
We have received a large number of applications and look forward to the Competition on Thursday. If anyone learning an instrument outside Ficino School has not yet put in an application, please give this to Mrs Brickland on Monday. Thank you.
Sibling envelopes are available at the school office. There will be no assembly on Friday as the photographers will be using the hall to set up for the photos. Sports teams photos are scheduled first, at approximately 9am, so please make sure that all children in hockey, netball and ski teams bring their full team uniform to school. Please could coaches and managers be available if possible for the photos. Music ensemble children should bring their instruments. All children should wear their school blazers. Thank you.
Thank you to those families who have registered for Sunday’s Family Fun Run. We are looking forward to seeing you and your family at Milford Beach Reserve, Craig Road, Milford on Sunday morning. If the event has to be cancelled due to inclement weather we will email by 9.00am on Sunday morning. If you have any doubt as to whether it is on or not please check your emails at this time.

Well, excessive oil isn’t always to blame. Rather, it’s often a mix of different things that stand between you and a great complexion. Coconut oil is actually one of the best ways you can get one without harmful chemicals.
The best way to understand how to use coconut oil for your face and why it works so well to eliminate your pimples is to know what causes the problem in the first place.
Simply put, you break out when hormone levels stimulate your sebaceous glands and creates sebum, the substance that gives a complexion a shiny appearance. Combine this with toxins in the bloodstream that feed on acne bacteria, and this action produces dead skin cells and clogs your pores. Some researchers also believe that too much yeast (specifically Candida) contributes to the breakouts.
No matter what happens internally, the bacteria grows and needs space. That action results in a growth on the surface of your skin, leading to pimples. They often appear red because your body is essentially fighting an infection of red swollen tissue.
Eating “bad” foods like French fries, chocolate and similar items doesn’t necessarily cause acne, but they may not help the matter much. You do need to be mindful of your diet, but what is more important is making sure that you eat as cleanly as possible. Also, drink plenty of water throughout the day, since it will flush out the toxins through the bloodstream.
Another problem that exacerbates acne is using cleansers and soaps that won’t stop the sebum production but will take away the antimicrobial acid. These beauty products contain harmful drying agents, which encourages the body to produce more sebum. This leaves the skin vulnerable to even more breakouts and pores clogged with bacteria, oil and dirt, creating a vicious cycle.
So answering the question, “Is coconut oil good for your face or your skin?” is just remembering it’s one of the best antimicrobial agents, and then some.
It shares two types of medium chain fatty acids – capric and lauric. These are also in breast milk and protect newborns from infections. It also sports antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal agents that are effective in pimple prevention, as well as vitamin E and omega-3 acids for soothing properties.
This is why if you really want to supercharge your treatment, skin care experts recommend that you also consume 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil each day. That’s in addition to using it as a cleanser and moisturizer. You will have both internal and external antimicrobial protection from acne bacteria. Some even say that it’s necessary to do both, otherwise you’ll have a significantly less effective strategy to fight pimples.
If you want to try both washing and eating coconut oil, be sure to proceed carefully with both ways. Do a small “patch” test on your skin to see if you won’t have an allergic reaction. If you want to take it internally, then try a teaspoon in the morning and in the evening, gradually increasing it when you find it doesn’t cause any stomach upsets. You’ll find that coconut oil benefits skin, from both inside and out.
When choosing a coconut oil for acne to cleanse and prevent breakouts, it is important to use a pure, high quality, raw virgin coconut oil (the only kind Kapuluan offers) to avoid any possible impurities and to maximize the key nutrients, rich proteins, and antioxidants. Using coconut oil on your face, just like any new skincare routine tends to be a bit of trial and error, but it is important to stick with it for a few weeks at least. Often, beneficial acne treatments have a tendency to make things worse before they get better, as the body gets rid of toxins, dead skin, and begins to cleanse itself.
To start your cleansing process, take a small amount (about ¼ teaspoon or less) and make it liquid by rubbing it between your fingers or in your palm. Then massage the oil gently into your face. Pay special attention to removing your makeup which is important in keeping a clean complexion. Follow next with a gentle cleanser that can take away excess oil. Finally, use about the same amount or less to moisturize your complexion. If you find that your skin feels little greasy, blot off the excess. Remember that the oil will eventually absorb into your skin, so don’t take it all off.
You may also want to try washing with coconut oil only; using a washcloth soaked in warm or nearly hot water and wrung out. This method might freak some people out, especially if they’ve been dealing with oily skin and breakouts, but it might work for your complexion.
Do not be too alarmed if your acne gets worse initially. Much of this is a reaction to the toxicity being expelled from your body, so give this regimen a chance for at least a couple of weeks. If you haven’t tried ingesting the coconut oil at this point, experiment with that and see if it makes a difference. You can always try adding coconut oil to your morning smoothie, or in your coffee instead of cream and sugar.

We’re pleased to announce SkillsServe 4.28 launched in August 2014.
Is it a new feature or an upgrade? This is an upgrade to SkillsServe’s CPD system.
How it works… It’s now possible to set up multiple CPD schemes on SkillsServe meaning that you can adhere to the CPD requirements of multiple professional bodies. Users are able to easily switch between CPD schemes either through the CPD portlet on the homepage or via the CPD Log.
Why is this beneficial? This feature helps to keep different CPD schemes in one place, making them easier to manage. Rather than changing between different Learning Management Systems to log activities for CPD, you can switch between schemes on one site in two clicks.
Default or configurable? This is a default feature that is configurable part of SkillsServe 4.28. For more information please contact the Helpdesk at helpdesk@unicorntraining.com or on 0844 800 3316.

A naturally asymmetrical pearl commands attention at the top of the dangling pendant with its size and sheen. This pearl is subtly complemented by three smaller pearls hanging from delicate chains. This freshwater pearl pendant necklace offers a draping, flowing appeal that would look great with a layered look. The pendant hangs from a long silver tone chain that brings the pearls to your chest over your clothing. The interplay between the dazzling silver tone and the opaque freshwater pearls creates a cohesive style that shimmers with an otherworldly feel. You have the use of the extender chain to lengthen the chain, which works with the use of the lobster clasp.

83 F.3d 1317 (11th Cir. 1996), 93-4634, Motorcity of Jacksonville, Ltd. By and Through Motorcity of Jacksonville, Inc. v. Southeast Bank, N.A.
Party Name: MOTORCITY OF JACKSONVILLE, LTD., a limited partnership, By and Through its general partner MOTORCITY OF JACKSONVILLE, INC., a Florida corporation, David S. Hess, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. SOUTHEAST BANK N.A., David Feigenbaum, Defendants, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as receiver for Southeast Bank, N.A., Defendant-Appellee.
Dyanne E. Feinberg, Miami, FL, for appellants.
Kipp A. Coddington, Christopher D. Cerf, Daniel E. Troy, Stephen Goldman, Washington, DC, for Motorcity & David Hess.
Julie Feigeles, Miami, FL, S. Alyssa Roberts, James Scott Watson, Washington, DC, for appellees.
Before TJOFLAT, Chief Judge, and KRAVITCH, HATCHETT, ANDERSON, EDMONDSON, COX, BIRCH, DUBINA, BLACK, CARNES and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.
In this decision, we consider whether the district court correctly granted a motion to dismiss in favor of appellee Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") based upon the D'Oench doctrine. See D'Oench, Duhme & Co., Inc. v. FDIC, 315 U.S. 447, 62 S.Ct. 676, 86 L.Ed. 956 (1942). For the reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
David S. Hess (collectively "Motorcity") 1 with the financial institution of Southeast Bank, N.A. ("Southeast"). We assume the following allegations from Motorcity's pleadings to be true for purposes of resolving the FDIC's motion to dismiss. In 1986, Motorcity and Southeast negotiated a floor plan financing agreement, under which Southeast agreed to lend Motorcity funds to purchase inventory for its used car dealership. During the negotiations, Motorcity orally informed Southeast that appellant David Hess and other Motorcity investors lacked experience in running a car dealership and planned to operate the dealership as absentee owners. Southeast orally assured Motorcity that its personnel were experienced with floor plan financing and that "the bank 'knew what it was doing.' " R2-58 Ex. 1 p 14. Of particular concern to both Southeast and Motorcity were "out-of-trust" sales, which occur whenever a dealership fails to use the proceeds from the sale of a vehicle to repay the loan designated for that vehicle. Continued unchecked, such out-of-trust sales could pose a threat to a dealership's financial viability.
Motorcity and Southeast executed a written floor plan financing agreement in June 1987. Pursuant to the floor plan financing agreement, Southeast retained the right to audit Motorcity's records. 2 Southeast hired an independent contractor to audit Motorcity on a monthly basis. Through these audits, Southeast allegedly discovered a pattern of out-of-trust sales at the dealership: rather than repaying the floor plan loans, Motorcity's managers were using the sales proceeds from vehicles to pay themselves unearned bonuses. Although Southeast or its auditor sent summary audit reports to Motorcity, the bank failed to disclose these out-of-trust sales to Motorcity.
In February 1989, Motorcity learned from its newly-hired general manager that the dealership was out-of-trust more than $400,000. Motorcity immediately notified Southeast of the situation. Southeast demanded immediate payment for the entire out-of-trust amount, but Motorcity was unable to meet the bank's demand. Southeast took possession of Motorcity's collateral, including the dealership itself and $375,000 in certificates of deposit. Motorcity repaid all of its loans to Southeast by April 1990.
Motorcity sued Southeast and one of its employees in Florida state court, alleging breach of fiduciary duty, breach of oral contract, and negligence. Less than a year later, in September 1991, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency declared Southeast insolvent and appointed the FDIC as receiver for the failed bank. The FDIC was substituted for Southeast as defendant in the state court action, and the FDIC removed the case to federal court.
that "[t]he genesis of this action is the Southeast floor plan financing agreement, whose written provisions do not support a breach of contract claim against the FDIC. No amount of artful pleading, including further amendments to the complaint, can alter this result." R2-52-8.
Motorcity moved for a rehearing and for leave to amend its complaint to add tort claims for negligence and for breach of fiduciary duty to notify. The district court denied both motions. In its omnibus order, the court reiterated that the D'Oench doctrine barred all oral contract claims, including those claims recast as tort actions by " 'artful pleading.' " R2-67-1-2.
Motorcity appeals solely the district court's denial of its motion to file a second amended complaint to add its proposed tort claims. Our review standard for a district court's denial of a motion to amend a complaint is abuse of discretion. Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., 401 U.S. 321, 330, 91 S.Ct. 795, 802, 28 L.Ed.2d 77 (1971); Shipner v. Eastern Air Lines, Inc., 868 F.2d 401, 407 (11th Cir.1989). After a responsive pleading has been filed, subsequent amendments are permissible only with leave of court, which "shall be freely given when justice so requires." Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a). This liberal policy of allowing amendments under Rule 15(a) "circumscribes the exercise of the district court's discretion; thus, unless a substantial reason exists to deny leave to amend, the discretion of the district court is not broad enough to permit denial." Shipner, 868 F.2d at 407; see also Moore v. Baker, 989 F.2d 1129, 1131 (11th Cir.1993) (holding that "a justifying reason must be apparent for denial of a motion to amend") (emphasis added).
In this case, the district court denied Motorcity's motion to amend based on the court's legal determination that Motorcity's proposed tort claims were barred by the D'Oench doctrine. The futility of a proposed amended complaint can be a justifiable reason for denying leave to amend. Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S.Ct. 227, 230, 9 L.Ed.2d 222 (1962); Moore, 989 F.2d at 1131. When a district court denies leave to amend a complaint because of futility, we review de novo. Keweenaw Bay Indian Community v. State, 11 F.3d 1341, 1348 (6th Cir.1993); see also In re Geri Zahn, Inc., 25 F.3d 1539, 1542 (11th Cir.1994) (explaining that the applicability of the D'Oench doctrine is a question of law, subject to de novo review); Freer v. Dugger, 935 F.2d 213, 216 (11th Cir.1991) ("Regarding the standard of review, conclusions of law by the district court are not binding on appellate courts and this court is free to substitute its judgment for the district court's on matters of law.") Accordingly, we review de novo the district court's determination that Motorcity's tort claims are barred by the D'Oench doctrine and its statutory counterpart, 12 U.S.C. § 1823(e)(1).
leading case itself, D'Oench, Duhme & Co., Inc. v. FDIC, 315 U.S. 447, 62 S.Ct. 676, 86 L.Ed. 956 (1942). In that case, the Supreme Court created a federal common law doctrine of estoppel to protect the FDIC from defenses raised by debtors based on "secret agreements" with failed banks. D'Oench involved a securities dealer who sold a bank some bonds which later became worthless. To prevent the past due bonds from appearing among the assets of the bank, the dealer executed a demand note with the bank and entered into a separate agreement with the bank that the note would not be called for payment. The FDIC later acquired the note in a purchase and assumption transaction. When the FDIC demanded payment on the note, the maker defended on the basis of the side agreement with the bank, in which the bank promised not to call the note for payment. Id. at 454, 62 S.Ct. at 678. The lower courts applied Illinois state law and held that the FDIC was entitled to recover on the note as a "holder in due course." Id. at 455, 62 S.Ct. at 678.

This was what the Studio was created for. This was what the Studio... the very first, second year of its existence, therefore primarily was concerned with.
When I came into the Actors Studio, I naturally therefore brought something that I stood for in the theatre. Since I had been essentially responsible for the training of the Group Theatre, of the company of the Group Theatre, and in the early productions, which set the style of the Group Theatre, I had by that time obviously created a basic approach, I felt, for the acting problem.
When I entered the Actors Studio, I simply felt that part of that I could contribute to the Actors Studio. It was never the intention of the people that started it... Kazan, Robert Lewis and Cheryl Crawford... to create stars. And it was not my intention and expectation to create a "temple of the method", you see? It was simply something that we created out of our own background, and out of our own interests.
And the Actors Studio became famous, first of all because many of its people did become stars. Stars not as a result of being stars, but stars as a result of being actors. And therefore bringing on to the American Stage a new concept of the star. Something that many people bemoan, because they say the star of the past is gone. "They used to be romantic", and so on and so forth, you see, and the stars today, you can't tell them apart from anybody else.
The only thing is when they get up on the stage, they're great. Well, that was our idea of acting, and that was our idea of stars. A "star" is somebody who is a great actor. Not, uh, somebody who's a star but who can't act, and therefore he only remains a star. That was not necessarily our idea of that.
What stimulated the people initially was proven right by the numbers of people who rose to successful achievment, and therefore demonstrated that they got something from their presence in the Actors Studio, and who therefore began to make the reputation of the Actors Studio, on both a National and on an International level, especially, frankly, through the movies.
Mr. Kazan... and the other movies that they then did, ran in through the theatres, which was rather a surprise and a shock to us... not a displeasure, but nonetheless something that we had not anticipated.
Then, about the fifties, much to our surprise, the word "method", and "Stanislavsky" had not been used in the Actors Studio... we spoke about our procedures, my procedures, and what I advised, and so on and so forth... but by about the fifties, when Marilyn Monroe, and other people that came in and solidified the kind of National and International reputation externally at the Actors Studio, the Actors Studio became known as "the temple of THE 'method'".
And you probably may find in my book, or the book that has been made out of my tapes, there must be a tape there sometime around that time in which I say, "Well, now that everybody's saying it, I might as well tell you that that's right, that's what we stand for. We stand for something called "the method". We have not previously used the word here, it's related to Stanislavsky, and so on and so forth. But that had never been anything that we had deliberately stuck down people's throats, so to say.
It was something that we did that proved its value, and therefore the kind of way in which we did things were taken for granted. Especially when we opened the unit here [Los Angeles]. In New York, my presence and the continuing presence of many of the people that have been with the Studio in the past, and so on, and that were still geared towards the theatre, kept alive the basic procedure which was that what we were doing in the scenes was not simply to show oneself, or to make people enjoy from an audience point of view, but was to try things, to, as we commonly like to put it, "to fall flat on our faces, to have a place where we could do anything we wanted in order to see what would happen.
Especially, as I say, when we then organized the unit here, the work began to change. Not simply by the calibre of the people, but by the conditions that set the standards in an environment.
The standards here [Actors Studio-West] are set, whether we like it or not, by the movies and by television. The work in the movies and in television is on a certain level, even by those people that are capable of better. Marlon has done some very terrible things in the movies. He would never have done those terrible things in the theatre, except when he went off on his own and, you know, did that lamentable production of Shaw's, uh, what is it called, you know... chocolate soldier... Arms and The Man, and then felt that he had already done for the theatre, and if the theatre didn't want him then what the hell was the point of it? He deliberately obviously set it up so that the "bats" of theatre would then have an excuse not to have to come back to the theatre. I say this facetiously, I doubt that this was his intention. But I must say that the whole thing was very irresponsibly done, with a young director who I know was not even a director. He was a friend of Marlon's... he wanted to give him an opportunity. Instead of playing the part that Marlon should have played, he deliberately let a friend of his, a good actor, but nonetheless a friend of his that would have been better in another part, play the leading part, and he took on the other part, the phony part, just to show he was willing to, in the theatre, he was willing to serve, and so on, so you can imagine what happened with that production.
And since then he's not done anything on the stage, so that his work in the movies, as you know, has gone up and down, and so on. When he's worked harder on certain material, or with a certain director, like Kazan, his work has been on a certain level. But, except in recent times, for reasons which I do not know, I must say his work was beginning to descend, both from an audience point of view, and from a critical point of view, to an extent where he was not even desireable as somebody you could cast in a picture.
From that point of view he had lost his standing, the public acclaim, and the last pictures have put him back. [To a member of the Studio] I'm glad to see that your brow is furrowed, and so on, but that is unfortunately true.
[The member responds] Sometimes, in order to reach certain heights, you have to go out on a limb...and it doesn't always work. That's genius. [Strasberg's response to the member]Oh, no. He didn't go out on a limb. He simply picked small trees, you see. But I'm not making a point about that. I'm really only trying to show the role and the place of the Actors Studio. And also, the nature therefore of the kind of work which on the whole we exemplify, and which we encourage at the Actors Studio, which is work very much of a kind that you have seen recently.
We'd love it if you would sign our Guestbook!

Sometime in the night, one of the Pelioneers got cold and tried to start the heater. For half an hour, he or she punched the pilot-light button over and over again, making a sound not unlike the crack of a pneumatic nail gun. By the end of it, if I’d had a pneumatic nail gun I would gladly have risked an international incident by stapling the clueless idiot to the floor. So, no, I didn’t sleep well, and when dawn finally came, I escaped as soon as I could lash on my urine-soaked gaiters. Today’s target was a measly 8.6km stroll through delightful alpine woodlands to Kia Ora Hut, stop for a hearty lunch, then push on to another overnight camp in the vicinity of the old trapper’s lodge, Du Cane Hut.
The track out of New Pelion begins in a flat clearing bordered by Douglas Creek, which like others in the area was grossly swollen by the record rains. Less than an hour down the track, which slowly ascends towards a saddle between hills, I was reminded me of a lesson I thought I’d already learned: don’t fall over and put a tree branch through your hand! While dicking around with the straps on my hiking poles, I slipped off the track into a deadfall of semi-rotted branches, one of which put a hole through the webbing of my left thumb. No pain, and surprisingly little blood, so I rinsed it with 100% pure Tasmanian highlands rainwater then wound strapping tape over it. Fixed, and feeling a bit foolish, I paused to reflect on my own mortal frailties while balancing on a slippery rock on the lip of a flooded river, then carried on.
The OLT then climbs to a mountain pass, Pelion Gap, where you emerge from more fun sylvan adventures among the knotty muddy tree-roots to an exposed ridge, so suddenly that it’s like a punch to the face. Pre-warned, you’d be wise to stop for a cup of tea within the treeline and to throw on that extra layer, because Pelion Gap is exposed, cold and windy. I then came to a platform where some intrepid souls leave their packs to the mercies of the local corvid population, and have a tilt at summiting Mt Ossa, which at 1617m is the highest mountain in the state. I was disappointed to see it wreathed in heavy cloud, and after snapping more dull grey photos continued on with a shiver. Looking back over my shoulder, I saw the single most perfect vision I’d yet had — Mt Pelion East against a perfect blue sky with sunlight glinting off its turrets and boulderfields — but before I could fish out the iPhone, the clouds snapped shut like the curtain at finale, and so what lingers in my memory is nothing like what I salvaged on my memory card.
The descent from Pelion Gap through Pinestone Valley was a visual treat, a highlight despite the bitter cold. Enjoying it while I could, the track soon resumed its impersonation of a creekbed, and while splashing merrily downhill I met another European fella who told me, helpfully, that the track ahead was really wet. I exhausted his store of English by asking him how far I was from the next hut (“Ja, tomorrow!” was his answer) then left him slogging uphill against the current. Kia Ora just kinda appeared from around a corner with little fanfare, was totally empty when I arrived, and retained the lingering residual warmth of the previous occupant. I started the heater on my first attempt and this, as much as anything, triggered my executive decision not to go any further. It was also, inexplicably, closer to 2pm than midday, and I knew the next leg to Windy Ridge would take me five hours — ie. the last two in darkness. Two hours in the dark? Not this little black duck, as we say here in Oz.
So, happily, I settled down to lunch. I had changed into drier clothes, and was chowing down on some noodles when the Swiss couple caught me up. When the female of the pair laid eyes on me, I was sure she said Scheisse! under her breath but I couldn’t be sure. I remember that word from the first Bourne movie, the scene where Marie is messing about with her keys in the alley behind the American embassy, and I had a fair idea what it meant. I couldn’t be certain though, until some hours later in the middle of the night when I turned in my sleeping bag to face the wall and did such a good imitation of a duck flying into a cement-mixer that I even woke myself up. Scheisse! I heard her whisper in the darkness from the other side of the room. Umm, sorry lady. But if it’s any consolation, after a quick dash through the frigid night to the toilet, I had best sleep of the entire trip.
