I guess depends on where you're comparing it to. We moved up from sydney; thus in comparison Cairns is a lot better. You do get your odd crime here and there but not much compared to other places like sydney. The other key aspect i think is picking the right suburb. ;)

KarenTaylor It would be interesting to see the per capita crime rate - Cairns seems to have a lot of crime in the inner city and walking around the inner city of cairns I do not feel safe. You need to move to smaller towns to live in a place with a genuine low crime rate - just my opinion .... but look at statistics - facts dont generally lie ...
ianaj Hi Nessie, we are looking to move from Sydney to Cairns. Which suburbs in Cairns would you recommend?
Stanley Nonga I would avoid the M suburbs, Smithfield is in North Cairns and is a great place to live
lyn-vegal Do you say avoid the M suburbs based on flooding? I read this somewhere today, or for other reasons?
jm11 Def avoid m suburbs due to relenting petty crime. However read the latest stastics and you will find even the best suburbs ( traditionally) are in a crime wave. Just look at the 20 or so percent youth unemployment !

Inner city including M suburbs, Bungalow and Parramatta Park are hot spots. White Rock and Mount Sheridan are also no good. Check QLD police site to see the reports. The figures don't lie and the patterns are obvious.

As at April 2012 The police here have had a drive to catch and prosecute those few (families) people ythat are always doing burglaries and petty crimes. It's worked a treat. The Cairns City Circle, as defined by out to Edge hill and about Cairns North and somewhat past Stocklands, is quiet, safe and very pleasant o live in . The large apartment blocks in Manunda and Manoora area are providing terrific value ($140-20k) and are good safe areas to be in. Probably once a bit iffy, but great now.

FibreSMART is a unique dietary fibre supplement, which is available in two forms: in a powdered supplement that can be mixed into water or juice, or in a capsule form.
FibreSMART's dietary fibre enhances the body's ability to remove toxins and increases the volume of your stool. It is not only a source of dietary fibre, but a complete digestive care formula. It contains herbal ingredients that work to heal damage to the intestinal tract.
Most people take dietary fibre to reduce constipation, however, most constipation is due largely to dehydration in the colon. Almost 95% of the fibre products sold in the market are made from psyllium fibre. Psyllium is a highly water-soluble fibre, which means that it absorbs water. This can further dehydrate the colon, making most people even more constipated.
FibreSMART contains flax seed, acacia fibre and guar gum which contains a blend of roughly 50% soluble fibre and 50% insoluble fibre. This ratio allows FibreSMART Powder to absorb toxins, excess cholesterol, and increase elimination – without the constipating side effects created by other fibre products.
Take 4 capsules per day. You can take up to 12 capsules per day.
Each serving (4 capsules) contains: Flax Seed Powder (Linum usitatissimum), organic 2400mg Acacia Gum (Acacia senegal), organic 520mg Guar Gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) 80mg L-Glutamine 40mg Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) 40mg Slippery Elm Bark

i'm a bit sleep deprived here so i'm going to keep it short for today. amesy has been going through what our doctor and the internet have called the "4-month sleep regression" and before this past week i would have told you that there's way too much info out there, and that babies will be babies. but something has woken in him, LITERALLY! motherhood is definitely challenging me these days, and sometimes i feel completely inadequate at it while also trying to work full time. (and don't get me started on the whole hormone thing, that's been a beast.) being pulled to be present in two places at once has it's challenges, and the end result has me feeling like i'm not doing well in either category. so i'm making some changes around here to take some of the pressure off.
when i first started this space i drew so much inspiration from vegetables, fruits, food in general (and i still do). i love taking photos of the process of each recipe. i loved (and still love) styling food and props in beautiful ways, testing my skills behind the camera, and getting the shot that i foresaw in my head. the creative process behind recipe development, styling, executing, editing, and then putting the finished product here - i couldn't love my job any more! i knew having a baby, and wanting to raise him myself, would shift that process a little, but i've found that it completely changes the process. and so, for now, i don't foresee a lot of heavy styling, or a lot of process shots in my posts. i hope you all won't think they're too bland or boring, or be looking for something that i'm not able to give at this time. i keep hope that this new way of doing things will give way to another form of creating, one that i haven't yet explored. but in the meantime here's my go-to, hormone-aiding maca almond butter and a piece of toast. whenever i make homemade nut butter i like playing with the flavor a bit, whether it's a dash of cinnamon or some other spice, but i've been adding maca to everything for extra balance and energy boost. plus, the flavor of maca is really great. think somewhere in the realm of burnt, earthy caramel, but in powder form. i can't get enough.
so this toast. i made it the other week since seeing a version of it here. it's basically a piece of your favorite bread (or bagel), toasted, slathered with this all-star cream cheese, topped with cinnamon-roasted sweet potato chunks, drizzled with maca almond butter and honey, and topped with crunchy cacao nibs. it's the perfect crunchy/squishy, sweet/tangy, balance for a humble piece of toast. xo's
and if you haven't checked out these beautiful posts from across the web yesterday. it's a series of blog posts called, #immigrantfoodstories put together by kimberly hasselbrink . i couldn't get my stuff in order in time to participate, but please give these a read and check out the lovely recipes posted :)
Maca Almond Butter & Sweet Potato Toast
i used sprouted almonds here just because they're easier for me to digest, but un-sprouted will work here just fine. you could also experiment with another nut like walnuts or cashews.
| makes about 1 cup of maca almond butter |
- 3 cups raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon maca powder
- a few pinches pink sea salt (or regular sea salt)
toast (makes extra sweet potatoes)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon unrefined extra-virgin coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 slice gluten free bread
- dairy-free cream cheese (i use this one)
- maca almond butter
- runny honey or maple syrup, to taste
- cacao nibs, to garnish
- in a food processor fitted with a metal "s" blade, blend the almonds until smooth, about 7-8 minutes. add the maca and a few pinches of salt and blend once more until fully incorporated. store in a lidded jar in the refrigerator.
- preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- in a medium sized bowl, toss together the potatoes, coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the edges are crisp and lightly browned. remove from the oven and set aside.
- toast a slice of bread, spread a good amount of cream cheese over the bread, add about 1/3 cup sweet potatoes, drizzle on maca almond butter and honey, and top with cacao nibs.

Often we anticipate the worst possible outcome when it comes to potentially negative scenarios. We end up making it worse in our heads than it actually ends up being. And when we put off doing something we don't want, it draws out the discomfort longer than it otherwise would be. But how do you talk yourself into facing what you fear? How do you motivate yourself to bring on the discomfort? How do you get comfortable being uncomfortable?
Recognize that Discomfort Makes us Grow
You've probably heard someone say that you need to step outside your comfort zone to experience growth. I know, it sounds cliché. I do feel like coming out on the other end of my uncomfortable situations, I had personal growth in some capacity. Particularly when I've conversation that make my stomach feel like it has twisted up like a pretzel. When I was in college and decided that I was not going to pursue being a CPA, which I had set as a goal for myself when I was VERY young, I was afraid to tell the people who expected me to follow this path. I was afraid to disappoint them and I even doubted myself because of it. There were two people in particular that I was absolutely terrified to tell. And one of them was disappointed. But I was actually relieved once I got through it. And I felt more confident because I stood up for what I felt was best for me. It taught me that it is okay to focus on finding what I am MEANT to do rather than worrying about what I am "SUPPOSED" to do.
Practice- and Face the Small Things First
When I was in my early twenties, I attended a training program to help me become a better presenter. During the course of this this training, we were tasked with standing in front of groups and presenting on a predetermined topic. I was terrified! What if I didn't know enough about the topic and looked stupid. What if I had to share my own views and people didn't agree? What if I was just a terrible presenter? It was really hard to force myself to get started. But over the course of multiple days of doing this, it got less scary. I realized that I was with a group of like minded people who were just as nervous as I was. I still got nervous every time I had to present, but it got easier to think clearly and formulate a presentation in spite of my nerves.
The more times I faced the nerves and anxiety and didn't die from it, the more confident I felt in my ability to present. Find ways to practice getting uncomfortable with small thing first. Do your first Facebook live, write your first blog, get day one back at the gym under your belt. Build up your confidence so that even if you never get comfortable being uncomfortable, you know you will come out on the other side.
Be Realistic About the Potential Negative Results
Have you ever gotten yourself so worked up about something and then it wasn't nearly as bad as you thought? This resonates with me. There have been a number of times that I procrastinated on starting a project because I thought it would take too long, be too tedious or I wouldn't like the outcome. And then I jump in and it is over before I know it. The same is true about having conversations that I was afraid to face. They've always been worse in my head than in reality. How do we put our creatively anxious minds in check? As yourself, is your perception of the outcome based on fact and experience or is it based on fear of the unknown? One of the greatest trainings I ever took taught me to recognize when I create a problem or get upset about something that has not happened yet. It is amazing how much more empowered you feel when you aren't distraught over situations that aren't real.
Create Your Power Ritual
I am not sure I will ever get comfortable being uncomfortable or facing fears. But I do know that when I give myself a pep talk, look at the situation objectively and take an honest assessment of whether my perceived discomfort is likely to be realized, I feel more empowered and confident that I can handle almost anything. I hope you too can find your power ritual and wish you all the best in getting uncomfortable!

Our vision is simple: "Transformed people transforming the world."
We are convinced that God passionately loves the world and grieves over the suffering and tragedy in His Creation. We know He has called, and has empowered His people in His churches everywhere, to be equipped and trained, to leave the comfort zone of their sanctuaries, and go into the world to become His love and grace in real and tangible ways.
Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew; "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Jesus' Great Commission is accomplished in three distinct actions:
Our Vision is to move from the comfort of our church out into our city with the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ. We challenge you to join us in this Great Adventure.
Acts 1:8; "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (ESV)

AXA IM explores applying ESG factors to sovereign debt investing
AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) has developed a framework for analysing countries' sovereign debt according to environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) has developed a framework for analysing countries' sovereign debt according to environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
Matt Christensen, Global Head of Responsible Investment for AXA IM, said there is increasing interest from clients in ESG analysis that can be applied to asset classes such as sovereign debt, partly driven by the eurozone crisis and fresh analysis of sovereign issuers' creditworthiness.
A research paper by AXA IM's Responsible Investment team, 'Sovereign debt investing: ESG framework and applications' outlines two ways that investors can draw upon ESG analysis for their sovereign debt portfolios. The first addresses investors' desire to limit reputational risk by screening the investment universe using specific ESG criteria before the portfolio construction phase.
"One of our clients asked AXA IM to minimise the reputational risk of their existing emerging markets sovereign portfolio holdings," explained Christiansen. "The rules-based reputational screen identified 10 (from a total of 57) sovereign issuers that presented significant reputational risk – representing 9.7% of the universe's market capitalisation."
He noted that the move to rules-based screening did not significantly alter the quality, yield and duration characteristics of the portfolio. In terms of credit quality, the risk screen reduced the percentage of highly speculative debts and this quality improvement was without significant impact to the yield and duration.
"A key issue for investors is the long-term sustainability of a country's economic and political situation and therefore addressing ESG issues naturally aligns with this," he added. "In addition, many institutional investors wish to limit reputational or headline risk in order to avoid negative perceptions associated with a particular activity or regime. Investors may find a reputational risk strategy based on negative screening particularly useful for emerging markets since these countries tend to score poorly on governance measures such as control of corruption relative to developed markets."
Secondly, the research examined how an ESG overlay would impact a sovereign debt portfolio's key characteristics. The study showed that an ESG overlay within defined risk parameters does affect country allocation and can improve the ESG performance of a sovereign debt portfolio whilst having a limited impact on other key portfolio characteristics including quality and duration.
The top ESG overweights for emerging markets were Poland and Chile. For developed markets, Spain topped the list for its better than average ESG score, despite a poor S&P long-term rating and gloomy economic prospects. The top ESG underweights for emerging markets were the Philippines, Columbia and Indonesia.
For developed markets, Japan was the largest underweight largely due to governance issues, while sovereigns with high quality long-term ratings such as the United Kingdom and the United States were slightly underweight largely as a result of poor environmental indicators.
"We have seen that ESG factors may be becoming more material to sovereign debt investing and that investors are taking note. In response, AXA IM has begun to examine the different ways in which ESG criteria can be applied to sovereign debt portfolios. We are already using this ESG country framework in our core RI funds, but see an opportunity to expand this into our mainstream funds. The strength of our model is its flexibility, which allows us to propose different ways to integrate ESG criteria according to a fund's specific objectives and the client's requirements."

Benchmarks for Demonstrating Improvement
Welcome to MRO Q&A, a Food Processing series addressing maintenance, repair and operational issues in food plants. Weve assembled a panel of plant operations experts to answer any question you have on plant-floor issues. To pose a question, check out our Plant Maintenance Resoure Center
The success of any maintenance operation depends heavily on the organization and efficient operation of the maintenance storeroom. Since the storeroom can be seen as driving the movement of parts out to the production area, your primary customers in production would expect to see improvement in equipment availability and reliability. These indicators in turn could be very helpful in getting the storeroom staff focused on how they relate to overall plant operations. From a more internal maintenance perspective, the accuracy of inventory counts and the number of stock outs versus the number of total parts issued would be seen as good key performance indicators.
A well-run storeroom should be able to demonstrate the growth rate in the overall number of parts and suppliers, as well as the percentage of inactive inventory over a given time period. These benchmarks could be used to drive further cost savings within your total maintenance budget. Senior Operations Management could look at the parts to labor ratio to get a better understanding of your total inventory value versus your total maintenance labor cost and develop a better insight into your ongoing maintenance spending and needs. Regardless of which key performance indicators you choose you should use this opportunity to lay out your maintenance strategy to all members of the operational team, allowing each "customer" to better understand how maintenance relates to their part of the operation and hopefully improving the dialogue.

Windshield Wiper Replacement
I'd recommend replacing your windshield wipers as part of your 2-year service. I don't, however, include them with my 2-year maintenance packages because I usually direct people to buy them elsewhere. If you'd like the OEM wiper blades, just let me know and I'll get them for you. Otherwise, I recommend Bosch Icons, which are great value for money and the ones I use on all of my vehicles.
If you'd like to support DIYs like this one that show you how to do tasks but don't result in a sale on Redpants, please use the links for the wiper blades below. I'll receive an affiliate referral fee if you click the links and then buy the items during that visit. You save a bunch of money, and I make a few [pennies]. It's a win-win!
DISCLAIMER: As always, follow all safety protocols. Don't undertake this task if you aren't comfortable with it and fully understand it. You are ultimately responsible for anything you do. Neither Redpants, LLC or myself is responsible or liable for anything that may occur.
[Video coming soon!]
LH windshield wiper blade
RH windshield wiper blade
About 10 minutes
Step 1
While holding the 8 and 9 buttons on the infotainment control panel, turn the ignition key from 'O' to position 'II'. This will bring the wiper blades out from under the hood so you can change them. When the wipers have stopped in position, return the key to the 'O' position.
Step 2
Lift the wiper arm up and remove the wiper blade. Install the new wiper blade and set the wiper arm back down.
Step 3
Repeat Step 2 for the other side.
Step 4
To return the arms to their default position, either move the key back to position 'II' or operate the wiper stalk.
All done!

Managing your time better can help you reduce stress – and be more productive, creative, and happy. These time management tips will reduce workplace stress, help you manage your time better, help relieve anxiety and stress.
Managing your time wisely is empowering because it gives you a sense of control, which relieves anxiety. And, good time management allows workaholics (like me) to put limits on unhealthy work habits.
"Some of the secret joys of living are not found by rushing from point A to point B, but by inventing some imaginary letters along the way." ~ Douglas Pagels.
When you're anxious and stressed at work, the last thing you want to do is play and be creative….but playing can be a great way to let off steam! To learn how to make the most of a busy work schedule (including time to play and "invent new letters"), read The 25 Best Time Management Tools & Techniques: How to Get More Done Without Driving Yourself Crazy.
And, here are six ways to reduce anxiety and stress at work…
Decide if poor time management is a source of stress
If you're stressed and anxious because of difficult coworkers, a toxic work environment, or office politics that you're unable to participate in, then learning to manage your time better may not help you relieve anxiety! Poor time management involves procrastinating, underestimating the time it takes to complete tasks, and spending a lot of time on details that don't matter. And that's why managing your time better can reduce stress: when you don't have enough time to do your job, you feel stressed and anxious.
If you've realized that time management isn't a source of workplace stress, you might find 6 Tips for Negotiating Conflict at Work helpful.

PowerJournaling allows me to clear my head of the fluff and focus on what matters. Taking time to stop and think keeps you in tune with yourself, which is one of the best ways to relieve stress and anxiety.
Find ways to empower yourself at work
The more power you have in your life (even perceived power), the less stress you'll feel. Research shows that the amount of control you have in your life directly affects the amount of stress and anxiety you feel. What creates the most stress and anxiety at work? There may not be anything you can do to directly affect the source of your stress (eg, locking your difficult or toxic coworker in a closet for an hour), but you can empower yourself in other ways.
For instance, I can't directly control how much money I make blogging, but I can analyze and capitalize on my most popular articles and sources of advertising revenue. That gives me a sense of control and mastery, which reduces stress and anxiety.
Create a work schedule that suits your personality, lifestyle, and job description
I'm a full-time freelance writer and blogger who could bang on my blogs all day! I have no boundaries between my work and home life, and this is sometimes a source of stress in my marriage. So, I created a schedule that gives me chunks of time to work and chunks of time to play – and it's surprisingly easy to stick to! Creating a work schedule is one of the best time management tips because it gives you structure and control.
Protect yourself from distractions
Before I created my work schedule, I kept Twitter, email, my blogs, and various forums open in the background. If I got "stuck" for an idea or phrase, I'd surf through all those open applications, which made me less productive and, ironically, more anxious about how I was spending my work time! Now I check email, Twitter, etc four times a day, at set times.
Here's another time management tip from office manager Marvi Marti: "For the first hour at my desk I do NOT answer the phone. I catch up and address new issues." To reduce stress, you need to manage your time better by putting your biggest distractions in their place.
Build time into your daily schedule to work on your strengths
I love Marcus Buckingham's advice to work on our strengths and not worry about our weaknesses! He's the author of Go Put Your Strengths to Work: 6 Powerful Steps to Achieve Outstanding Performance, and he encourages people to maximize their strengths at work and home.
For instance, my strength is writing blog posts and learning about search engine optimization. My weaknesses is visiting other blogs and commenting (which is supposed to be a great way to market your own blog). So instead of worrying about my weaknesses, I focus on my strengths. This empowers me and makes me feel in control of my career goals, which reduces workplace stress and anxiety.
Empowering yourself at work is the best way to relieve stress and anxiety. The actual task that gives you a sense of strength and control isn't important — it can be as little as watering the plants every Tuesday. The important part is to create habits or tasks that give you a sense of mastery and achievement.

Welcome to the fourth and final look back at Jazz in 2014. So far we have considered the current state of piano trios, discovered that collaboration is still an important part of the genre, and also explored some of the best brass offerings of the year.
This final post is more of a grab bag of other interesting jazz-related odds and ends. Although there's no specific theme, if I had to give it one then it would be 'The Fringes'. Some of these tracks might not strictly be jazz, but that's okay! As Geoff Dyer writes in his excellent novel But Beautiful, jazz is "about making your own sound, finding a way to be different from everybody else, never playing the same thing two nights running". Hopefully this is something that has been evident throughout the series so far, but it should be even more pertinent this time around.
Zara McFarlane
"Open Heart"
From: If You Knew Her
Country: UK
Time: 4:43
Listen: YouTube
Winner of 'Best Jazz Act' at this year's MOBO Awards, the sophomore album by Zara McFarlane opens with the spellbinding sound of the hang drum ushering in her silken voice on "Open Heart". It's one of the most striking album openers of the year and casually sets the mood for the remainder of the album as McFarlane experiments with different sounds tailored according to the demands of each individual song. She also proves to be a talented songwriter and storyteller, with all but two of the eleven tracks written by McFarlane herself. As she notes, the songs on this album "represent a journey through a woman's life" and this theme is best explored on the track "Her Eyes": "If you look deep into her eyes, let them both reveal, all the strength behind them". Not only does the album cover demonstrate the truth behind her words, but she could just as easily be singing about the depth of strength present in her own voice when you listen close enough.
Dobet Gnahoré
From: Na Drê
Country: Ivory Coast
Time: 3:19
Listen: YouTube
Singer, dancer, and percussionist Dobet Gnahoré was born and raised in the Ivory Coast of West Africa. Although she has now lived in France for quite some time, the influence of Africa remains a strong presence in both her sound and spirit. "I'm afraid for my Africa", she sings on "J'ai Peur", which later features an excerpt from Martin Luther King, Jr.'s influential "I Have a Dream" speech that "…one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight". The recent threat of the largest Ebola virus outbreak in history has also been of great significance to her, writing "Non à l'ébola" to support those helping to fight the epidemic and all other diseases prevalent in Africa. More than anything though, she shares a similar ethos with Zara McFarlane (featured above) since women, their sacrifices, suffering, grace, and strength inspire the great sense of hope that permeates her music.
Get The Blessing
From: Lope and Antilope
Country: UK
Time: 5:59
Listen: YouTube
Moving away from vocals and into the loosely defined realm of 'nu jazz', next up we have British quartet Get The Blessing. Presenting themselves like The Residents except with cellophane masks instead of bloodshot eyeballs, the band comprises members of the rhythm section from Portishead (i.e. Jim Barr on bass and Clive Deamer on drums) along with the sax-trumpet combo of Jake McMurchie and Pete Judge. The Portishead lineage is apparent through their heavy focus on groove, letting the songs develop naturally out of the interlocking rhythms of drum, bass, and horns. An experimental spirit also drives many of these new songs, including this opening track "Quiet" which feeds McMurchie's saxophone through a distortion pedal to squeeze Theremin-like pitch bends out of the instrument.
Polar Bear
"Be Free"
From: In Each and Every One
Country: UK
Time: 4:36
Listen: YouTube
The fifth album from five-piece experimental jazz band Polar Bear is a bubbling hot pot of textured rhythms, sophisticated beats, and jittery saxophones. Led by prolific drummer Seb Rockford, the band has had an impressive string of successes since their debut a decade ago. In Each and Every One sees the band continue to be recognised as one of Britain's most exciting young jazz bands with a nomination for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize 'Album of the Year', representing the genre in the awards alongside relative newcomers GoGo Penguin. It's a complex album though, with abstract ideas buried deep in the mix beneath a swirling array of electronics and live instrumentation. Still, this track "Be Free" is one of more directly accessible songs as it frantically jumps between a succession of brief hooks that never get the opportunity to develop into a full song on their own but unite to form something greater than the sum of its parts.
Battle Trance
"Palace of Wind: Part I"
From: Palace of Wind
Country: US
Time: 13:49
Listen: YouTube
Battle Trance (bat(ə)l trɑːns) noun a state in which individuals virtually lose their ego and acquire a new collective identity. The term was coined by Georgia-born and Melbourne-based evolutionary musicologist Joseph Jordania in his 2011 book Why do People Sing? Music in Human Evolution to describe how early music may have developed as an evolutionary tool for survival through its ability to foster a feeling of group identity, especially when faced with the threat of imminent danger. In many ways, this concept of a collective identity couldn't be any more appropriate for Travis Laplante's ensemble comprising four tenor saxophonists. Over the course of 40 minutes, these four musicians unite to become a single organism of pulsating air currents, gentle zephyrs, and cacophonous storm fronts. Like the Hawa Mahal itself, it is a grand piece of work; its technical intricacies transcended by its own singular grandeur.
Bohren & der Club of Gore
"Im Rauch"
From: Piano Nights
Country: Germany
Time: 5:29
Listen: YouTube
I'd like to think that piano nights could be fun. Friends gathered around the instrument, drinks in hand, some people singing, others imploring that you don't make them sing. Sounds like a great time, right? Bohren & der Club of Gore have an entirely different idea of what constitutes a piano night though. Dripping with atmosphere, their eighth album soundtracks the single feeling of complete and utter despair. It is in many ways quite a sensuous album. You can almost taste the smoke floating in the air, just as you can smell the sting of bad whiskey and feel the rough bristles of unshaven flesh beneath hollowed out sockets. It might not sound like something that anyone would want to listen to, but it can be simply perfect given the right combination of time, place, and mood.
"Ah! Ça Ira"
From: Moloch
Country: Poland
Time: 4:15
Listen: YouTube
Named after the throne-chariot of God described in Ezekiel 1:4–26, Polish five-piece band Merkabah offer an interesting blend of free-jazz and noise-rock on their second studio album Moloch. Adding saxophone to heavier material certainly isn't anything new (cf. Painkiller, Kayo Dot, et al.) but Merkabah have created their own unique sound in the process. Saxophonist Rafał Wawszkiewicz fits quite naturally among the pounding rhythm section and thickly distorted guitar, which all build to a manic finale in this closing track from the album. It's heavy and it might not exactly be jazz in the traditional sense, but who cares when it sounds this good?
Josh Hickman & The Hickmen
"Recipe for Love"
From: Something for the Ladies
Country: US
Time: 4:48
Listen: YouTube
How about we finish this series with some sensual word jazz for the ladies? I don't care what anyone says to the contrary, I'm convinced that "Recipe for Love" is far and away the best song of the year. Josh Hickman is some kind of genius as he details the perfect romantic cocktail with a series of food-related puns delivered in his rich, sonorous voice. The puns themselves range from the fairly obvious ("Lettuce be together forever") to the delightfully clever ("With you, a walk by the bay leaves me speechless"). The next track ("Across a Crowded Room") is equally funny with its running commentary of Hickman speaking Optical with the pretty lady across the room. What makes the album though is the sprinkling of Hickman's satisfied groans and hearty chuckles as he humours himself with his own debonair demeanour. In my books, you don't need to be a high profile recording artist to write the song of the year. Well, not nececelery.
That's it! That's my small sample of jazzy highlights from this year. Of course, there are many more great albums which I didn't feature in this series. Hopefully I've provided a good walking baseline for you to work with if you wish to dig any deeper into past releases or to keep an eye out for what 2015 might have in store. And in case you missed any of the previous posts, they can be found below:

Officials tracking down illegal migrants at Head Start
Immigration enforcement officials are now targeting migrant and seasonal Head Start centers in some states as part of efforts to track down illegal immigrants, the executive director of the National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association says.
Yvette Sanchez, president of the Washington, D.C.-based association, was in Milwaukee this weekend for a meeting of the national board of directors at United Migrant Opportunity Services Inc.
She said immigration surveillance is emerging as one of the top three issues for the group, comprising migrant and seasonal Head Start directors, staff, parents and friends. Financial appropriations and the need for more bilingual materials are the others, she said.
"Several kids and babies died in the fields because parents were fearful of sending them to Head Start,"' she said in an interview.
"Since early 2007 many of our programs started to notice that Border Patrol of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicles were parked outside their centers and some were following buses picking up children," she said.
Jason Ciliberti, supervisory Border Patrol agent in Washington, D.C., said it's not the agency's policy to stake out Head Start centers.
"It could have happened if we believe there was an immigration violation afoot, but it's not our policy or practice, I believe."'
Gail Montenegro, a spokeswoman with ICE in Chicago, said, "All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations are targeted based on leads received and subsequent investigations. Generally, our operations avoid actions at school settings. ... However, we will take into custody during these targeted operations anyone encountered who may be in the country illegally."
In testimony before the congressional subcommittee on work force protections in May, ICE officials were provided with a list of dates and places regarding ICE activities near migrant and seasonal Head Start programs in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and New Mexico, according to a letter sent to ICE officials in Washington by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
"We ask that ICE enforcement and intimidation tactics near migrant and seasonal Head Start centers cease immediately," U.S. congressmen Joe Baca, Luis V. Gutierrez and Ruben Hinojosa wrote.
"Parents were fearful of going to the centers or letting their kids get on the bus, and enrollment went down in some parts," Sanchez said.
Some centers have taken signs off the buildings and buses, she said.
In Tennessee, one family took their baby with them to the fields and left the baby in the truck where the baby died, she said.
The criteria for participating in migrant and seasonal Head Start programs is low family income and agricultural employment, she said. "Since the Head Start program was started in 1965, we have never asked families if they are citizens, and it's never been a requirement," she said.
Migrant and seasonal Head Start programs operate in 39 states and serve more than 30,000 migrants and 3,000 children of seasonal farm workers, she said.
They serve children from 6 months to school age and also provide a variety of health, nutritional and transportation services.
United Migrant Opportunity Services operates eight migrant and seasonal Head Start programs in Wisconsin that serve 530 children.
Cris Cuevas, director of the United Migrant program, said centers here have not been staked out by immigration officials.

Every lanyard must have an attachment to carry your knick-knacks in place. These metal attachments are highly essential as they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Depending on your needs and preferences, here is a list of lanyard hardware that suits you and your personality.
The most common lanyard hardware of all is the J-Hook. You can choose from different sizes and styles as they come in swivel and non-swivel materials to be added in your custom lanyards. They can be used to hold objects with round attachment holes including keys, identification cards even pens and cell phones. You name it.
Online businesses are booming with their lanyard companies and have the traditional bulldog clips which are designed to hold objects having oblong-shaped attachment holes. These are available in various shapes and sizes as well. You can definitely make use of them as an effective hardware attachment.
Additionally, split rings are also another way of completing your custom lanyards. Primarily, you can use this to hold your keys yet you have other ways to take advantage of this piece of metal. In a nutshell, this attachment is used to attach other holders like the bulldog clip and badge reels.
The quick-release which looks more of a pocket-size buckle is your best choice when you prefer attaching and detaching the items from your custom lanyards. It's as simple as squeezing the sides of it pushing it away or into the slot. This attachment has the "attach-detach" feature as well, yet found at the opposite side and to prop you up in removing your lanyard from your neck or wrist.
Another astonishing attachment that you can select is the slide size adjuster. It is installed at the top portion of your custom lanyards to help you adjust its length. You can easily shorten or lengthen the position of the object which is best when you are up to different tasks. In conjunction to that, two of the highly popular adjusters are the double-barrel slide and the bead. Either of the two would be highly versatile to your busy day.
Furthermore, a phone call or an email that you need to send is easily accessible with the cell phone holders. This attachment is similar to the quick-release buckle yet smaller. It comes with a nylon loop for you to slide into your phone. Custom lanyards with cell phone holders either for your neck or wrist are becoming extremely popular. With all the delightful innovations of mobile phones which are becoming smaller and smaller, this attachment would definitely let you stay in style.
For you out there who are fond of the outdoors, the water bottle holder is a keeper. It comes with a rubber ring which is a highly durable material that can hold up to one liter of bottle. Aside from that, it has a ring made of rubber which is sewn to your custom lanyard—a favorable way to carry your refreshments around and still look stylish.
Finally, the breakaway connectors can also be chosen for your lanyard. These are also called safety lanyards that could easily come off your neck. This comes in male-female connectors that are made of plastic. The type of connector would depend on the type of lanyard you chose.
All in all, you may opt for the simple ones or anything that would be more useful to you. Once you picked your attachment, that's the time you place your order. Just take note that all their products are made of high-quality materials and are available in the United States or around the globe. Hundreds of customers are truly satisfied with the products from top online printing companies.

A guest post by Gretchen W. Harnick
Winter is coming. A very long, cold winter.
As a designer, you buy more wool, add more jackets to your line, and hope the retailers heard the same forecast you did.
But how do you forecast quantities of inventory to produce? And before that, what about buying the right amount of raw material needed for your base line production, or gauging how to forecast what items will be most popular?
Many beginning fashion designers wonder about the magic and peculiar aspect of forecasting. Especially when it's your first few seasons gaining traction, you recognize how critical it is to keeping your budget tight.
A Few Forecast Types
If you are a knitwear designer, interest does peak for your work in the colder months. Warmer months mean lighter cotton and silk knits, and a lot fewer accessories than you will produce and sell in the winter. Forecasting for a loss of seasonal retailers makes sense, and so does bulking up for Fall/Winter with more styles and product selection. Building a reasonable forecast for seasonal ebbs and flows carries you through the calendar year with fewer surprises.
Media Love
Congratulations! The media loves your story and work. When magazine and blog editors or other influencers go nuts over you, they will feature certain pieces of your collection in their editorials. Use this interest level forecast to boost your production on the key items being featured, and be certain to push this knowledge to your buyers. You may choose to create a special Key Trends line-sheet to send or leave behind on store visits. You're in sales now, so make it easy on the buyers by informing them which key items they are going to want to buy.
But keep your cool! Sometimes the media makes promises they can't keep. It's not about your brand, so just take that news with a little caution. Don't go quadrupling your orders if you are new in business – that can be putting all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.
Carry-Over Product
Do you have any carry-over product – pieces you produce season after season that are good sellers? Perhaps you've added a feature or new color; as long as it's a good seller, add 10% or more to your production of these items, depending on the demand. Carry-overs are already proven for this season and next as well, meaning they carry a lower risk that you'll get stuck with inventory. They can be an easy entry for a new customer as well, so they are good to have on hand throughout the year.
Plan to produce a small surplus of carry-overs and intended best sellers for in-season re-orders from your retailers. This can be risky, however, if you feel your retailers have already bought the right quantities. If you feel they were all behaving cautiously then go ahead and hold a little bit of inventory for them, but be sure to let them know you're holding back stock.
Pro-Tip: Send a check-in note to the retailer 2-3 weeks post shipment. Ask how their customers like it, and remind them of back stock you have available. Most designers never do this. If you can, schedule an email to go out to all your retail customers; it's totally easy to do. Try using the free scheduler tool Boomerang HYPERLINK TO http://www.boomeranggmail.com/ for Gmail. You maybe be very surprised at the loyalty, attention and reorders you receive from a 5-minute task.
Raw Materials
Where are your raw materials coming from? Chances are you have a few suppliers. Are they domestic or overseas? What are the import tariffs or delays you encounter with these shipments? Is it better to purchase multiple seasons from one vendor and get a bigger discount? What relationship do you have with suppliers? Will they be accessible if you need a rush re-order in season?
In the end, it's about the margin you make. It's not about the volume you sell. It is also about the relationships you are building and the reputation you are building that will keep you afloat year after year. A loss you may take from cutting prices only gets worse. Worse in your books and worse in running your business.
Good luck this season! I'd love to hear from you. Connect with me on Pattern to Plan and sign up for our free "Idea to Action" class, allowing you to take that dream idea into action today!

Pan Macmillan is delighted to report the acquisition of a new science fiction trilogy by master of the genre, Neal Asher. Editorial Director Bella Pagan has acquired world rights, including audio, to the Rise of the Jain trilogy – which starts with The Soldier. This is an epic space opera which will be set in the Polity, the same fictional universe as Asher's most popular works.
In The Soldier, a hidden corner of space is swarming with lethal alien technology, a danger to all sentient life. It's guarded by Orlandine and her mission is to ensure it stays contained – at all costs. Living aboard a state-of-the-art weapons station, she watches over technology designed to destroy entire civilizations. However, she's hatching a plan to obliterate it, removing the threat forever. It was created by the Jain, a long-dead race, and forces are on the move who'll do anything to unleash their last secrets. Meanwhile, humanity's galactic territories and the alien Prador Empire watch this sector of space with interest, as neither can allow the other to claim its power. However, things are about to change, the Jain might not be as dead as they seem and interstellar war is never far away.
Neal Asher commented on the new deal: 'I'm very glad to be continuing with Macmillan. They've seen me through from nervous neophyte to ever so slightly mad pro.'
Bella Pagan said: 'Neal is one of our longest-standing SF authors and I'm absolutely thrilled to have more of his high-octane books on our list. Each new book is anticipated by an army of loyal fans, with very good reason, and we just can't wait to publish these'.
Dubbed a 'national treasure' by SFX magazine, Neal Asher has published twenty books with Pan Macmillan over the past seventeen years. Pan Macmillan will be publishing The Soldier, the first in the new trilogy, in spring 2018.
Infinity Engine is the third and final novel in the Transformation series, by bestselling science fiction author Neal Asher, following Dark Intelligence and War Factory.
A man battles for his life, two AIs vie for supremacy and a civilization hangs in the balance . . .
Infnity Engine is out now in Hardback.

Artists used to rely on walnut oil as a drying agent for paint because its slow drying time allowed for even application over a broad surface. The oil would form a solid film after long exposure to air, rendering colors rich and luminous with its translucency. In fact, Michelangelo even used walnut oil while painting the Sistine Chapel.

Depending on how you split a walnut in its shell, the nut resembles either a heart or a brain -- and how apt, since these nuts do wonders for both.
Although walnuts boast heart-healthy oil like most nuts, they have an added edge. Most nut oil is monounsaturated, but walnuts primarily contain the polyunsaturated variety. In fact, they're the only nuts -- and one of the few foods -- that offer appreciable amounts of a crucial type of polyunsaturated fat called alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA, which is an omega-3 fatty acid. ALA protects the heart in several ways: It improves your ratio of HDL (good) to LDL (bad) cholesterol, and it reduces inflammation, helping to block the conversion of cholesterol into harmful, artery-clogging plaque. ALA also plays a significant role in the development of the brain and cognitive function; low levels of ALA have been associated with depression and other mood disorders.
Since your body can't manufacture ALA, you need to eat foods that contain it. Studies show that most people consume less than the recommended daily amount (1.1 g to 1.6 g). Walnuts fit the bill, but they're also high in calories, so don't go overboard. Think in terms of a handful: An ounce of walnuts, or about one-quarter cup, provides 2.6 g of ALA (and 185 calories).
The benefits of eating walnuts extend even beyond the good fat. They provide a concentrated source of disease-fighting antioxidants, including gammatocopherol, a type of vitamin E. They also have ellagic acid, a compound with anticancer properties, and melatonin, which helps regulate sleep patterns and delay age-associated diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The protein in walnuts contains the amino acid arginine, which relaxes blood vessels (good for high-blood pressure), helps inhibit tumor growth, and boosts immunity.
Two main types of walnuts grow in the United States: the pungent, tough-to-crack black walnut and the Persian (often called English) walnut that you'll encounter in most supermarkets. Because of their high polyunsaturated fat content, walnuts are more perishable than other nuts. Buy from sources with a good product turnover, and choose nuts that are still in the shell if possible. If you do buy shelled walnuts, go for the halves rather than the pieces (more cut surfaces encourage oxidation). Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to maximize freshness. Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them for 8 to 10 minutes in an oven heated to 350 degrees just before using to bring out their flavor.
Looking for another way to get more walnuts into your diet? Try walnut oil, available as either refined or unrefined. Oil that is cleaned after pressing to remove any unwanted odors and flavors is refined. Its unassuming taste -- and the fact that it can be heated up to 400 degrees -- make it an excellent oil for sauteing. Unrefined walnut oil is more expensive, more perishable, and more susceptible to heat than refined walnut oil. Made from nuts roasted at a moderate temperature before pressing, it has a nutty taste and a light brown color. Because unrefined oil has a lower smoke point of 320 degrees, you shouldn't heat it. Instead, use it in salad dressings or baked goods, or drizzle it on finished dishes.

Brunch at The Bison/
Bison's owners have a winning formula. They are part of the Banff Hospitality Collective group which includes many an eatery: the Balkans Greek restaurant, Magpie & Stump Mexican, the Park Distillery, Bear Street Tavern Pizzeria, the Eddie Burger, and the Maple Leaf Grille. If this isn't enough reason to go, then this review should convince you. Bison is smart yet homely, bustling yet relaxing, and service is very good. The menu proudly boasts that it is regional and seasonal - always good to hear.
Bison's Caesar's (Canadian version of a Bloody Mary) are delicious. The spice level is perfect, the alcohol warming but not overpowering and the juice refreshing. The mimosas are sweet and crisp. Fancy a coffee? Try a brunch shaft - espresso vodka and chocolate milk - creamy and rich.
The menu here is full of amazing options; you'll be hard pressed to pick one. There are eggs benny lots of ways: duck confit and goats cheese, salmon and asparagus, bacon and maple syrup and steak. All of these will satisfy - but if you're feeling meaty, go for the steak. Succulent and flavoursome, with two well poached eggs, nothing at Bison is done by halves. This also includes the mountain breakfast (their version of the full English) and the French toast. This is a sweet tooth's dream, with Apple slaw, berries, whipped cream. The double smoked bacon and Gouda balance the flavours to ensure you can finish the lot. If you swing more toward lunch than breakfast at your brunch, choose the Bison burger or sandwich - packed full of great quality meat, cheese and potato.
The more unusual option on the menu is the brunch pizza. Packed with potato, tomato, onion, Gouda, eggs and bacon, this is a real treat. There could be more hollandaise to perk up the base, but otherwise this is something we want to see on more brunch menus please. The more classic option of the cast iron frittata is huge, ripe tomatoes and creamy goats cheese ensure it is full of flavour and almost too big to finish.
Brunch at Bison is done very well. The huge windows allow light to flood in and there is a gorgeous terrace for those warmer mornings. Service is en pointe and the setting is relaxed, with tables well spaced so you never feel as if you are hemmed in. The food is really, mouth wateringly, lip smackingly good.
The Bison is located just off of Banff Ave along Bear Street. For more information, check out their website here.

First off, it's just awful.
But the other reason is that you might not have enough data to have anything meaningful to look at.
We're known for doing beautiful real-time visualizations (that's a live link to 1% of everything happening on twitter. But for most companies, if we monitor your mentions real-time, you'll be waiting a long time between tweets.
We're also known for complex affinity analysis– to say people who like A also like B. Then we split this out by 92 different countries to see how your brand performs by language and geography. But if you have customers mainly in one city, only one Facebook page, and only one product– the fancy analytics here don't mean a thing.
There just isn't enough data there to do social affinity– it's just not physically possible.
The same thing is true for small websites using Google Analytics. If there are only a few pageviews a day, there's just not much analysis possible, unfortunately.
Some clients ask us to fudge the metrics to make them look good. We'd rather focus on taking rapid, intelligent action than to sweep things under the rug.
So if you're a start-up or small business, focus not on big data, but on big action.
Then people will buy from you regardless of your name or what the pretty charts say!

Eye Q: Uveitis
What is uveitis?
Uveitis is a term used to refer any type of inflammation inside the eye. Inflammation in the eye can have infection or noninfection causes. The majority of patients who experience inflammation in the eye never know the cause. While this is disturbing to patients, it is gratifying to know that their condition is not associated with a severe systemic disease. The characterization of the inflammation is most important in helping to determine treatment type as well as the prognosis for good vision retention. For this reason, uveitis is characterized based on the location within the eye where the inflammation is most prominent. Thus, we divide uveitis into anterior, intermediate and posterior.
Inflammation in the eye is invariably treated with steroids. Most commonly used steroids are delivered as drops, sometimes frequently upon initiation of therapy. Steroids also may be delivered as injections around or in the eye or as medication taken orally. The side effects of long-term use of steroids need to be discussed with patients at the beginning of treatment. The two main concerns are for the development of high pressure in the eye or haziness to the normal lens of the eye and cataract. While these are very concerning, proper monitoring of steroid use as well as the evaluation of patients during their use permits a high degree of ability to avoid these side effects. Untreated inflammation also can result in high pressure in the eye and cataract.

The dynamics of the informal sector are largely unknown in many developing countries. This is something that this research is out to study. One dynamic aspect of the labor market is the mobility across different sectors, in particular, across the formal/informal divide. The project addresses this issue in the context of both individual workers and firms. This is the first study on transitions of individual workers and firms between formal/informal sectors using panel data from Egypt and Jordan. The results are important for designing policies to address labor informality and its adverse impact on the labor markets in Egypt and Jordan.

New! Have you been asked to update your AT&T email settings? Learn how we're enhancing the security of AT&T Mail.
Hi, I have a Samsung Smart TV, model UN55F9000, and it has recently lost all its apps in Smart Hub. I have done extensive troubleshooting with Samsung, and they say it is an ATT wi fi problem. All apps are gone, and even though it says its connected to the internet, there is no internet access, no web browser, YouTube, etc. All apps have disappeared, with no way to download back in. What can be done with the router? There is a Samsung Forum that says if I block a URL, cloudfront.net, then unblock it, I might get it to work again. Can someone give me some direction?
- edited
Uh, if all apps disappeared from your smartphone, it would not be a wifi problem. The hub and basic included apps would still be on the TV. ( mine came with apps pre installed )
It's the TV. Has it run updates just before the apps disappeared?
Did they suggest any way to reset the TV?
Try hardwiring to the TV.
@jaschwagle - I guess devices that work "simply" do no have the tools to resolve issues when that do not work. Seems like Samsung should be able to dowload a refresh to your TV.
Ask them how to reboot the TV with new software that they send to your computer you put it on a thumb drive & insert on a USB port on yhe TV & reload the software.
Some people that the TV did not work initially were able to get it going by changing the DNS server in the TV to google - 126.96.36.199. Try that.
Some found the country needs to be changed to USA. Check that.
Some samsung TVS have a browser app. Is that still available to you? There is a DNS server -https://www.opendns.com/free-trial/open-your-mind-to-a-new-breed-of-security/?_bt=93900036310&_bk=op...
I understand it allows blocking web sites. But, I do not know how you would add it. Maybe it is as simple as entering the IP number like with Google.
You can get your own router that can block the site or maybe take the TV to someone who does. If that is all you want to do look for a computer person, not a TV person. TVs are no longer repaired, just replaced.

Victim in mid-air crash was experienced glider pilot
Rudy Rozsypalek co-owned and operated Pemberton Soaring Centre since 1993
Friends and family of Rudy Rozsypalek are mourning the long-time pilot who was killed Saturday in a mid-air collision that killed four people and a dog approximately 50 kilometres north of Whistler, B.C.
Rozsypalek and his passenger were in the powered glider when it crashed with a Cessna 150 over top of Nairn Falls Provincial Park.
The accident was witnessed by many campers and park users, some of whom ran for cover from falling debris; others ran toward the wreckages to try to put out the flames and search for survivors.
No one was injured in the busy campground and park below the mid-air crash point, but none of the occupants of the plane or glider survived.
The couple in the Cessna, a man and a woman, were flying with their dog from 100 Mile House in B.C.'s South Cariboo region to Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island.
TSB investigators arrived at the crash scene Saturday, which is split into two separate sites, and are continuing to document the scene and speak with witnesses Sunday. The glider crashed outside a maintenance yard adjacent to the Nairn Falls park campground, and the Cessna crashed across the Green River.
TSB spokesman Bill Yearwood said investigators recovered a GPS from the glider yesterday which should help them figure out what happened, along with other physical evidence.
"Our investigators are looking at damaged pieces for scars that may show paint transfer which will help us understand the angles and what the collision course was just prior to impact," he said.
An official with the Transportation Safety Board have said that the accident was likely caused by human error, but did not go into speculation as to the root cause of the crash.
Family, friends mourn Pemberton pilot
Friends and fellow-pilot told CBC News that Rozsypalek was an experienced pilot and that "no one knew the air above Pemberton as well as Rudy did."
For 20 years, Rozsypalek had co-owned and operated the Pemberton Soaring Centre, which provides glider flight excursions with certified pilots.
On Sunday, the soaring centre's business website was taken offline, and replaced with the announcement that the business has "has suspended operations."
Rozsypalek's family members said he was a wonderful man with a wonderful life story to tell — he came to Canada 20 years ago — and said they have been touched by the support that had been coming in.
His family said they are devastated by his loss, and are deeply saddened by the deaths of the others involved in the crash.
Statement from sister-in-law Sheila McCutcheon
Our family, we are touched by you thinking so highly of Rudy and wanting to know about his life.
Rudy came here as an immigrant from Czechoslovakia and built a great business in Pemberton and this year was it's 20th anniversary. Rudy became a Canadian and loved living in this area and loved being a Canadian.
Rudy was loved and respected in this community and we are devastated for our own loss and also deeply saddened for the loss of all the other people who were also involved.
