Russell Martin hit a fluky two-run homer to tie the game and Kendrys Morales followed that up with a two-run blast as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied past the Chicago White Sox 7-3 on Sunday afternoon.
Kevin Pillar had an RBI single and Ryan Goins drove in a run with a triple as Toronto (33-35) came back from a 3-0 deficit to avoid a sweep at the hands of the last-place White Sox.
J.A. Happ (2-4) struck out nine in 6 2/3 innings, but allowed eight hits and three runs. Danny Barnes pitched 1 1/3 inning of relief before Roberto Osuna came in for a scoreless ninth inning.
Yolmer Sanchez and Jose Abreu had RBI singles in the fifth inning to build a 3-0 lead for Chicago (31-37). The White Sox saw their three-game win streak snapped.
James Shields (1-0) pitched 5 2/3 innings, scattering seven hits and giving up three runs. Relievers Anthony Swarzak and Dan Jennings allowed two runs apiece and Michael Ynoa pitched a scoreless 1 1/3 inning. Swarzak (3-2) was charged with the loss.
Willy Garcia led off the fifth inning with a single to shallow right, and after a Kevan Smith basehit, Sanchez singled up the middle into centre field to score Garcia. A sacrifice bunt by Melky Cabrera advanced the runners to scoring position and then Abreu hit a single to centre field to make it 3-0.
Pillar replied for Toronto in the bottom of the inning, stroking a single to left field and driving in Steve Pearce from second base.
The Blue Jays tied it on a play in the bottom of the sixth that will likely make blooper reels all season — Martin hit a deep fly ball to centre field that Garcia had to play right to the warning track. As the White Sox centre-fielder jumped up to catch the ball it bounced off his glove and over the wall to the delight of the 46,599 in attendance.
It was Martin's seventh homer of the season and cashed in Troy Tulowitzki as well to make it 3-3 and end Shields's game.
That jumpstarted a Blue Jays rally. Pearce hit a single to right field in the next at bat and then Goins hit a triple to drive him home for a 4-3 Toronto lead.
Morales added to that lead with a two-run blast to the second deck that bounced down into the Blue Jays bullpen in the next inning. Pearce's double to the left-field corner added another run as he drove in Tulowitzki and advanced Martin to third. A walk by Goins loaded the bases and Pillar followed that up with a hit to short that needed a video review to be called a force out to end the inning.
Osuna earned a strikeout, induced a ground out and fanned another for the 1-2-3 ninth inning.

LONDON (Reuters) - British government ministers agreed to redouble efforts to secure a Brexit deal, before MPs voted overwhelmingly to seek a delay to the country's exit from the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said.
"The cabinet collectively agreed to redouble their resolve in working to deliver on the result of the referendum to leave the European Union by securing support for a deal," the spokesman said.

A resolution co-filed by Wespath and British investor, Hermes EOS, asking Chevron to "stress-test" its portfolio in anticipation of a lower-carbon future received strong support at its May 25 annual general meeting. The resolution received a 41% vote in favor, a significant showing for a first-time filing.
The resolution specifically asks Chevron to evaluate the impact of fluctuating supply and demand for its products against a rapidly transforming energy sector and amidst clear shifts in public policies aiming to address climate change. Most notably, 195 countries came together during the Paris climate talks in December 2015 and agreed to establish a long-term goal to limit warming to less than 2-degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels. We believe this type of analysis is critical in understanding a company's long-term strategic positioning.
Wespath Chief Investment Officer, David Zellner, said: "Our resolution asked Chevron to conduct 'stress tests' on its business of plausible scenarios resulting from shifting demand for fossil fuels and the impact of carbon taxes. As investors, we need assurance that Chevron, and other companies in our funds, are strategically positioned for the transition to a low-carbon economy."
A similar "stress-test" resolution we co-filed at Occidental Petroleum—the first of its kind filed with the company—received a 49% vote in favor in April, another strong show of support for a first-time resolution. More information about our other climate change-related engagements can be found here.
This proxy season, shareholders like Wespath have sent a clear signal to the companies in which they invest that climate change is an issue the global business community cannot ignore—shareholders have filed a record number of climate-related resolutions, which have received higher levels of support than ever before.
We will continue to urge Chevron and its peers to disclose how a transition to a lower-carbon economy could affect company sustainability and profitability.

US Warmachine Seeks New Pretext in Syria to Bring War to Iran
US designs in Syria were made crystal clear by US Army General Joseph Votel – head of US Central Command (CENTCOM) – during a July 19th press briefing. General Votel would state unequivocally when asked what the "arrangement" was regarding Syria, that: Our mission is very, very clear: It is focusing on the defeat of ISIS and then helping our partners in both Iraq and Syria stabilize the situation and specifically in Iraq to help create a platform that can lead to a long-term political solution through the U.N. process.

Wow, That Seriously is IncredaBOWL!
Oh wow, I was watching the local news the other day and they did a segment on summer camps for kids. Did you know that not only can they be costly depending on the activity it centers around, but they are almost full? The news reported that parents were actually calling to sign their kids up for this summer in January! Really? That's ridiculous. Well if you are like me, you need to check out Franklin Family Entertainment Center (known as Franklin Lanes to the locals).
"Why should I look at the bowling alley website, www.franklinlanes.com?", you ask. Well, I'll tell you…1. I was not ambitious enough to call in January and sign my kids up for summer activities (I bet you weren't either). 2. There's that entire money situation. Do I really want to spend around a thousand dollars to have someone else entertain my kids? And 3. Bowling is FREE for kids this summer at Franklin Family Entertainment Center and they love it.
Now that really is IncredaBOWL!
Okay, so here are the details…
- From now until August 31st, kids who are signed up for IncredaBOWL can bowl one FREE game of BOWLING EVERYDAY!
- If your child does not own his own bowling shoes, the price to rent them is discounted for IncredaBOWL members.
- Just go to Franklin Family Entertainment Center's website (www.franklinfec.com or the one mentioned above) to register your kid…It only takes a second to do. Basically you just enter your email, your child's name and birthday (they have to be under 18 years old). After that, the bowling alley will email you an IncredaBOWL membership card to print out.
- Show your child's membership card whenever you bring him in to BOWL his FREE game.
Yep, that about sums it up…pretty easy, huh? I will say one thing, however, the bowling alley's website claims NO STRINGS ATTACHED. Well technically that is not true (Sorry Jay for saying that 😉 Here's the deal…if you want to get technical about the wording, there will be shoe STRINGS ATTACHED to your bowling shoes. I know, that was a bad joke.
Anyway, if your kid wants something to do this summer that won't cost you an arm and a leg, visit Franklin Lane's website and sign them up for IncredaBOWL today for daily summer fun. They have tons of lanes so unlike summer camps there is not a cut off of the amount of children who can enjoy themselves. (And there is also the fact that Middle Tennessee can get pretty hot in the Summer and the bowling alley is air conditioned.)
See ya'll on the lanes!

Blue Skies and Strong Winds
At the ARC Pit from the road this morning 4 Garganey, Spotted Redshank, 2 Little Ringed Plover, the Curlew still present and a Slavonian Grebe. The Sea was very quiet in a short watch a flock of 6 Avocets went by , 15 Common Scoter and a steady stream of Gannets and Sandwich Terns with a few Common Terns. On the land birding was difficult due to the wind but my first Common Whitethroats of the year were singing and very little else. The reserve held more Common Whitethroats and at least 12 singing Sedge Warblers and 9 Cetti's Warblers were singing. Once again the wind spoiled the birding.

The student occupation of the Legislative Yuan could be seen as a death knell for the legislature. However, as the saying goes: "The king is dead, long live the king." You might also say: "The legislature is dead, long live the legislature." The students' purpose is not to kill the legislature. On the contrary, they want to use people power to find a new lease of life for a legislature that has nearly been trampled to death by the Chinese Nationalist Party's (KMT) abuse of its majority. They want to put the legislature back on track and restore its dignity.
The fault lies with President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and his disrespect for the sanctity of the legislature. Ma openly instructed the KMT caucus convener to ensure that the cross-strait service trade agreement was approved — by any means necessary. Ma is said to have told the party whip he was personally accountable for the result, which was all that mattered.
Hence, we saw KMT legislators scrapping consultations and contravening legislative procedure in a bid to get the service trade pact approved as a package, so that it could automatically go into effect. The KMT had stripped the legislature of its autonomy, not to mention flown in the face of public opinion. The student occupation is therefore an act taken in defense of democracy, its purpose being to restore to the Legislative Yuan its mandate to legislate.
Is occupying the Legislative Yuan a lawful thing to do? Compared with the lack of respect for the law shown by the KMT, any minor infractions made in an effort to set things right are irrelevant. After all, the students have not done anything violent like setting fire to the Legislative Yuan or beating government officials. On the contrary, they have acted very reasonably.
The occupying students did not appear out of nowhere. It is not easy to take over the legislature in one fell swoop and put Ma's shoddy performance in the international spotlight, and they would not have been able to do it without the experience gained from wrangling with the Ma government for the past five years.
Last year, students trying to protect people's homes from demolition shouted: "If you demolish houses in Dapu (大埔) today, we'll demolish the government tomorrow." Now the slogan is: "If you pass the service trade agreement today, we'll demolish the government tomorrow." The continuity is plain for all to see.
A string of controversies have occurred under Ma's administration — the cross-strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), the Dapu demolitions, the demolition of the Wang (王) family house in Taipei, the death of army conscript Hung Chung-chiu (洪仲丘) and so on. These controversies and the ensuing protests have strengthened the students' resolve, built up their strength and cultivated their wisdom. Otherwise, how would just a few hundred students have been able to paralyze the country's legislative machine?
The students have now seized the strategic high ground. Every move they make is being watched closely not just in Taiwan, but by the international community. If Ma mobilizes the entire national police force, he is likely to make himself a laughingstock, and to no avail. Ma recently made a fool of himself by saying that deer antler velvet — a kind of traditional tonic — was made from the hair of deer ears. He had better get things straight this time. The students began by calling on Ma and KMT representatives to go to the Legislative Yuan in person and respond to the public's demands. Now they have gone further, calling on Ma to apologize and Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) to resign. There is even talk of extending their actions further. An occupation of the Presidential Office cannot be ruled out — it only depends on how angry people get.

All the Zombie Feels
Sweet Flirt Sister, thank you so much for coming to the Seventh Annual and my last Zombie Stripper Party. And thank you for coming to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth. And for all the time and effort and thought you put into your costumes. Without you there would never have been such a thing and for you and for that I am truly grateful.
There were some very unexpected tender moments for me this year.
After the music is off, the lights on, my eyelashes peeled (hallelujah!) I'm always super tired, hungry, ready for a hot shower and bed. Instead begins the several hours long process of cleaning and packing up.
One of my tasks it to clean up the food tables. I notice what you ate this year, what you didn't. I can bring the same thing two years in a row and one year you'll devour it and the next not even touch it. It gives me insight into you, your mood, what you like, what you'll eat. And in those exhausted moments, the next year's party is born.
Except not this year. Instead of party planning as I cleaned up I saw you standing in ever-shifting circles, chatting, laughing, smiling. Together. Our sisterhood in celebration. It was quiet and I was alone, the activity going on around me but not in me.
My heart swelled and the tears came.
It was in that very moment I knew this was the last, that we would never come together again at this place in this way. Together we created something so special and unique and it was over. Strangely enough, that so-tired-I-could-die-but-have-to-clean-up moment is one that I will miss the most.
The next so-tired-I-can-barely-stand-the-thought-of-moving-my-body comes on Sunday morning. Happy Hubby and I head back down to the studio, to pack the last few things, hang the party poster. Then he heads to his shop to unpack the party boxes and I clean up the floor. No one but the two of us have seen the post-party floor in the light of day. It is quite a sight to see and takes 3 cleanings to get it back in shape!
This year as I began the first sweep I had a new-found sense of reverence. There was an echo of our coming together to create this magical time. Your memory floated to me on the wisps of feathers (black and white this year), an ivy leaf, a bobby pin, a tear drop shaped sequin, a pair of kitty gloves left behind. Enough glitter to put an elementary school craft project to shame.
In the busy-ness of being hostess I may not have spent much time with you. But I saw you. I knew you were here with us, in sisterhood. I know who the black feather came from and the white. I know who left behind the ivy leaf and kitty gloves. Little gifts you left behind.
More tears. Grateful, appreciative, aware tears. It took ALL of us to create the Zombie Stripper Parties.
I cleaned the floor as an offering, a prayer, to All That Is for all that was and the open, expansive knowing that something new and wonderful will breathe it's way into our lives. That as we leave this party behind we are opening the space for something else.
I stood in the doorway for a moment, looking in at the clean, emptiness of the space. Quietly, quietly, I closed the door and put the Zombie Stripper Party to bed.

Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy Analog Delay
The Memory Boy is one of the more classic and well known delays on the market. For years this pedal has shown longevity and utility on the boards of many. This not-so-straightforward delay pedal packs in a few off-beat, but surprising fun features that you may find unique and useful.
External Control: EXP
Cost: $
HornFX Review
Interface: 3.5/5
While this pedal is certainly simple and straightforward, there are a couple of little touches that enhance its utility. The switches for the various modulation settings and waveforms make selecting the more strange sounds incredibly easy. Although the expression pedal jack will not accept an external tap, you can control the speed of the delay with the sweep of an expression pedal.
Versatility: 2/5
As with most analog delay pedals, there are not many choices when it comes to changing your delay sounds. Luckily this gives a little more versatility with its waveform and chorus/vibrato settings.
Tonal Reproduction: 3.5/5
The analog circuitry does darken up your sound some, but the representation you get with this pedal is fairly accurate and pretty. You can go way off the rails with the various mod options if you wish.
Live application: 3/5
A lot of the crazier settings on this pedal (with the depth control set high) are only useful in a live setting if you are looking for very unique and wonky delay sounds. The wave forms allow you to make sounds that you can't find on very many other delay pedals.
Product Information
All analog delay with Feedback
Up to 550 ms delay time
Selectable Chorus or Vibrato modulations rates
Choose between triangle or square modulation waveforms
Expression pedal control of delay time or modulation rate (expression pedal extends the range of modulation rate)
True Bypass
Dimensions in inches: 4.0 (w) x 4.75 (l) x 2.25 (h)
Dimensions in mm: 102 (w) x 121 (l) x 89 (h)

Seattle, Wa. (November 24, 2012)— Seattle University used a late 11-4 run and held off a Sacred Heart rally in the closing seconds to come away with a 74-70 win in the championship game of the Washington Dental Thanksgiving Tournament. Morgan Merriman (Seattle, Wa.) and Gabrielle Washington (Mesa, Ariz.) were named to the All-Tournament team.
Junior Blair Koniszewski's hit a pair of three's in the closing seconds to finish with a career-high 19 points for the Pioneers in the loss.
Seattle won the tip, but Ericka Norman (Chino Hills, Calif.) intercepted a pass and notched the first points of the game on a fast break, her first of 18. The Redhawks tied the score three times, but never took the lead until the 12:18 mark as Brenda Adhiambo got a put back to put Seattle up 14-13.
Just over a minute later, Norman, who shot an impressive 63.6% from the field on the night, landed a trey from the top of the key to give SHU back the lead and kick off a 10-1 Pioneer run that put them up 23-16.
With 6:50 left in the first half, Kiley Evans's (Cazenovia, N.Y.) hit a three-pointer from the right wing to give the Pioneers their biggest lead of the game, 30-20. Seattle chipped away, but was never able to catch SHU, who went into halftime leading 36-32.
Washington had the first points of the second half with two from the charity stripe, but the Redhawks answered with a six-point run to put them within two. Trailing for most of the half, Seattle took its first lead in the second half with six minutes left to play, but it was short lived as the teams exchanged points for the next two minutes.
With 3:17 left, Adhiambo and Tournament MVP Sylvia Shephard put up back-to-back layups to give Seattle a 63-60 lead. A Kacie Sowell three-point play and a Daiedra Brown lay-in gave the Redhawks a 70-64 lead with 31 seconds left.
Sacred Heart hung close, as Koniszewski hit a pair of triples but Seattle went four-of-four at the free throw line to put the game away in the closing seconds.
Four Pioneers finished with double-digit scoring. In addition to Koniszewski's 19 and Norman's 18, Evans totaled 14 and Washington 10.
Sacred Heart returns home to play Colgate on Saturday, December 1st at 1:00 p.m.

At the end of the season, the statistics obsessive that is inside every cricketer blossoms. For what other way is there of understanding the success of the season than by close and careful scrutiny of what the score books reveal.
The memory of the warm June sun on his face; the lingering feel of that cover drive in July which whispered off the bat but slammed into the fence; the recall of that booming in swinger that took the top of middle stump are all very well. But it is the numbers which tell the truth. So here are the numbers which define Fantasy Bob's season.
Number of runs scored off middle of bat -2
Number of runs scored off edges -196
Number of ducks - 2
Number of scores over 50 - 1
Number of wickets taken - 20
Number of stonewall LBW appeals turned down for incomprehensible reasons - 57
Number of catches taken - 2
Number of catches completely missed due to failure to perceive ball as anywhere in the vicinity - 18
Number of injuries (real) - 0
Number of injuries (imagined) - 117
Number of 3s run - a number seeming to approach infinity
Number of times emergency services called at end of third run - 0
Number of empire biscuits consumed - 259
Number of pieces of kit lost or otherwise requiring replacement - 0
Number of junior members left behind at away fixtures - 0
Number of pieces of kit belonging to junior members picked up after matches - 2418
Number of words used in match reports - 3,986,564
Number of words of 3 or more syllables used in match reports - 3,986,562
Number of references to obscure cultural figures and irrelevant historical characters in match reports - 3,986,564
Amount of useful information in match reports - 0
Number of text messages made on Friday evenings to find 11th player - 3,986,564
Number of times FB thought on the trudge back to the pavilion having missed a straight one 'Sod this for a game of soldiers - this is the last season.' - NONE
All in all a most successful and enjoyable season. Many thanks to all team mates and opponents for putting up with FB. The bad news for you all is that he is already looking forward to next year. He thinks that there is another season in him. Such is the power of empire biscuits.

What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the secretory glands and causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive systems, and other internal organs. In people with cystic fibrosis, secreted fluids such as mucus, sweat and digestive fluids are sticky and thick, instead of thin and slippery. Rather than acting as a lubricant, these thickened secretions clog tubes, ducts, and passageways. In the lungs—the organ most commonly impacted by cystic fibrosis— the abnormal mucus can obstruct airways, resulting in the chronic coughing, wheezing, inflammation, bacterial infections, and severe breathing problems. Over time, cystic fibrosis causes progressive damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.
People with cystic fibrosis have inherited two copies of a mutated cystic fibrosis gene, one from each biological parent. As cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease, it is possible to inherit only a single defective CF gene without developing the disease. About 30, 000 Americans suffer from cystic fibrosis, but at least 10 million more carry a copy of the defective gene.
Who does Cystic Fibrosis affect?
- Children: Cystic fibrosis is typically diagnosed in childhood as it presents itself at an early age. Though once considered a fatal disease, cystic fibrosis can now be managed with treatment and people with cystic fibrosis can live full lives into adulthood.
- Children born to CF carriers: Children born to parents who each carry the mutated cystic fibrosis gene have a one in four chance of developing the disease. Though you can test parents for the mutated cystic fibrosis gene, this would only be necessary if there was a family history of the disease on at least one side.
- Specific ethnic groups: Cystic fibrosis is most common among caucasians of northern European descent, Latinos and American Indians—specifically the Pueblo and Zuni.
If your child has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, one of our pulmonary pediatricians can work with you to develop a treatment plan that can begin minimizing the symptoms of the disease and slowing its advancement. If you or a loved are experiencing one or more of the symptoms below, consult with one of our pulmonary specialists to further explore your symptoms and test for the disease.
Cystic Fibrosis Symptoms
Respiratory Symptoms of Cyctic Fibrosis
- Persistent cough that produces sputum (thick mucus)
- Wheezing
- Breathlessness
- Exercise intolerance
- Repeated lung infections
- Inflamed nasal passages or a stuffy nose
- Digestive signs and symptoms
- Saltier-than-normal sweat and skin
Digestive Symptoms of Cyctic Fibrosis
- Foul-smelling, greasy stools
- Poor weight gain and growth
- Intestinal blockage
- Severe constipation
- Rectal prolapse
- Meconium ileus (when meconium gets stuck in a newborn's intestine)
- Stomach pain or bloating
Other symptoms of Cyctic Fibrosis
- Infertility (mainly in men)
- Nasal polyps
- Hemoptysis (coughing up blood)
How to Diagnose Cystic Fibrosis:
- Newborn screenings: All newborns in the United States are screened at birth and the condition is often diagnosed within the first month of life.
- Sweat Test: If the aforementioned symptoms have been observed, a simple sweat test can confirm or refute diagnosis. A pulmonary specialist will trigger sweating on a small patch of skin, rub it with a sweat-producing chemical and use an electrode to provide a mild electrical current. The sweat is then collected and its salt levels analyzed. High salt levels confirm a cystic fibrosis diagnosis.
- Chest x ray: Pictures of the structures in your chest can illustrate whether your lungs are inflamed or scarred, or whether they trap air. Abnormal chest scans can be a sign of CF but your pulmonologist will advise you on next steps.
- Sinus x ray: This can indicate signs of sinusitis, a cystic fibrosis complication.
- Lung function tests: Measurements of how much air you can take in and out, and how well your lungs deliver oxygen to your blood can indicate lung health and the presence of cystic fibrosis. Learn more about Lung Function Tests here.
- Sputum culture: A sample of sputum (spit) is analyzed for the mucoid Pseudomonas bacteria. If present, this indicates an advanced form of cystic fibrosis that may need aggressive treatment.

We are way beyond the simplicity of a spectrum
of transformative through facilitative to evaluative
approaches. We have narrative, therapeutic, restorative, hybrid, med-arb, insight, systems mediation, and
the list goes on. There are many variations and combinations of each of these approaches. None of us can
practice across this entire spectrum, but all of us can
push the boundaries of our own practice to increase
our capacity to respond to a greater range of conflicts,
and this ever-broadening menu gives us some important tools for doing so.
The significant growth in mediation-related activities
that have been nourished by the growth of mediation and that in turn have enhanced the practice of
mediation. For example: restorative justice, public
conversations, civic engagement, world cafes, on-line
dispute resolution, ombudsman services, family
group conferencing, policy dialogues, and again the
list goes on. We may be more polarized as a society
but we are also increasingly reliant on well-designed
and facilitated consensus building processes to make
organizations and communities work. As a result
third parties have an increasingly important place in
corporations, government agencies, and the non-profit world.
The proliferation of ally roles that combine the important function of advocates with the skills and values
of mediators (and whose practitioners often started
out as mediators). For example: collaborative practitioners, conflict coaches, strategic conflict advisers, and
collaborative negotiators.
The growth of systems design and training programs
that utilize mediators and conflict practitioners
more generally. Corporations, schools, government
agencies, communities, churches, international organizations, social agencies, medical institutions, the
courts—in fact just about every significant institution
in our society—are looking for systematic ways to
handle conflicts more effectively. They are increasingly turning to people with experience in mediation
and related activities to help design systems for doing
this and to train people to handle conflict more effectively. Were it not for this widespread appetite for
training on how to deal with conflict, many conflict
practitioners would have a hard time keeping a viable
business going.
But let's not be too optimistic or self satisfied with what wehave accomplished. There are some important caveats and warn-ing signs here. It is not clear that this proliferation in services hasled to a significant positive change in the culture of conflict anddecision making in general or even in the organizations who havemost embraced these efforts. Mediation practice per se has notsignificantly grown, particularly outside rights-based, evalua-tive, legal and corporate arenas. There continues to be much moredesire by practitioners to provide these services in actual conflictsthan a demand from the public to receive them.
And the broadening of the field has not necessarily been
matched by its deepening. By this I mean the development of our
knowledge base, educational programs, and professional development processes. Furthermore, our track record of interventions
in intense and protracted conflicts has not been as impressive as
the proliferation of new approaches would suggest. In the long
run, our intervention track record rather than the proliferation of
approaches we create is what will determine the long-term viability of conflict intervention as an independent field of practice.
Many of our professional organizations have made what I
believe to be a genuine commitment to diversity, but the results
have been at best mixed. Most corporate mediators are older
white males (like me). Many of these older white males have a
legal background. Family and community mediators are more
likely to be female. Court mediators are a more diverse group, but
are mostly female. Private mediators are mostly white. Most dispute resolution conferences look largely white and increasingly
old. While there are many reasons to be concerned about this,
one clear consequence of the lack of diversity is our diminished
ability to adapt to an uncertain future. The less diverse, the less
adaptable and the less relevant we are.
As a profession, we do not appear to be attracting significant
numbers of new practitioners and teachers who are committing
to conflict work as their primary professional orientation. We
continue to train many people in conflict. There is a proliferation
of masters degree programs that often provide an excellent education in conflict and peace studies (I teach in one). But it is still
difficult to make a living in conflict work, and graduates of these
programs mostly use this education within other career paths.
From one perspective, that is just fine, but it does suggest that
we are not growing as a field with a common focus and identity.
The invited contributors to this series – varied though their views
and backgrounds may be – are an illustration of this. We are not
growing as a field. We are aging. And we are not very diverse. This
is not a good sign for our capacity to adapt to an uncertain future
or to serve a broad cross section of the public.
It would be very interesting if there were a way to measure the
practical skills needed to be an effective conflict specialist and to
track the progress of mediators and other conflict interveners in
developing these skills. That could help us know what really helps
to enhance mediators' skills, e.g., training, experience, mentoring, peer supervision? It could also help assess the relevance of
different personal characteristics. I'm not sure we will ever find
effective measures that are not reflective of the biases of the
researcher and can reliably measure the skills that make a difference. Instead we measure what can be easily measured, not
what truly indicates effectiveness and skill. It's not that we don't

Aaaand I am back in the trap.
The Alt-sickness has taken over me anew!
It started way back when my wife stopped playing and I started using her account for hauling and trading etc etc.. It was a comfortable, but sadly an extra montly fee.
A few months back I figured I could stop that account and manage with just the one.. but sadly EvE is kind of made for dual-boxing and I have alt-itis. (cant refrain from making more alts!)
So now I am back with two accounts.. and 6 characters to manage ;)
It does feel good in a way, now I feel I can get carriers and such, and not worrying about others providing cyno wherever I want to go.. also with PI you can get more toons cranking out PI goods everywhere!
If you dont know what PI means your not playing EvE..and this is an EvE blog, so I wont teach you what you should know! *shakesfist*
So Helicity Boson (old corpmate from Python, who is also behind HULKAGEDDON) shared his idea of having an alt fly off into wormhole space, and do his Planetary Interaction there.
So now I have settled three planets full of aliens, where I churn out goods from two, and uses the third to refine the P1 products further.(more planets to come when he skills up)
I am also making POS fuel for my research-POS from one character.. and my trading-alt is now making P4 things out of P3 things, just outside the tradehub.
The gears of industry be grinding!
"Idustry you say? I thought this was a PvP blog"
Well it has been slow in Providence lately.. not had time to attend the big things, but my corp has really become active and we´ve had some fun roams down into Delve and lowsec Amarr-space (where we are nbsi)
We also had a T1 cruiser tournament that I felt I did really well in.. until the finals where I encountered the Maller of Doooom!
Second place not bad though, had great fun.
Ooh and T2 Autos are 3days from completion \o/
I trained Arties first.. as we were using sniper-BS most at that time.. but as soon as I got em.. alliance went all RRBS all the time
(our RRBS minniefits uses autos) :)
Ooh, and I found the first sig I used for Yargok today!
Now go read how Python CRUSHES FACEPLANTE !

After 18 years with the Paragary Restaurant Group, Chef Shannan Berg of Cafe Bernardo Midtown is leaving Sacramento. To celebrate her time with PRG and her involvement in the community, PRG is hosting a Farewell Yappy Hour event at Cafe Bernardo Midtown on Wednesday, July 31st with 10% of proceeds donated to the Sacramento SPCA.
Shannan Berg has been a valuable member of the Paragary Restaurant Group since she started working at Cafe Bernardo in 1995. We are proud to acknowledge all that Shannan has accomplished during her time with PRG. She helped establish the Cafe Bernardo brand and also assisted with the openings of many other Cafe Bernardo locations throughout the greater Sacramento area. She was a catalyst in making Cafe Bernardo Midtown the first BERC-certified Sustainable Business in Sacramento County, which eventually led to all PRG locations to becoming BERC-certified Sustainable Businesses. Shannan has also been involved in the Farm-to-Fork movement for years, by buying local, fresh and seasonal products for the café whenever possible.
Shannan credits her culinary success in Sacramento to her mentors, Teresa Urkofsky, Kurt Spataro, and Kathi Riley Smith. She also values her past experiences of working with both current and former PRG chefs, such as Patrick Mulvaney, Rob Vendetti, David LaRoche, and Adam Schultz. She cherishes the local chef community and will miss them, as well as her regular customers.
In addition to her accomplishments at Café Bernardo and with PRG, Shannan has held an important role in the Sacramento community for many years. She has been an active volunteer with local organizations such as the Sacramento SPCA, 4R Friends, Empty Bowls, Loave & Fishes, Met High School, and more. She most recently helped prepare Mother's Day brunch for homeless women at Maryhouse and donated lunch to the volunteers that were rebuilding McKinley Park.
Shannan's ever-present drive and determination to help our community's animal shelters and rescue groups has made Café Bernardo a favorite spot for pet-owners in Sacramento. The dog-friendly patio always has water bowls and complimentary housemade organic biscuits available for dogs.
"We're fortunate to have had such an ambitious, community-oriented person with our company for so long. Shannan has been an asset to both our company and to the community, so we are all very sad to see her go. We wish her the best of luck with her future endeavors," said Randy Paragary.
Shannan's last day at Cafe Bernardo Midtown is Friday, July 26th. She will be moving to Boston, MA in early August with her partner, Karen Weber. Shannan will miss her regular customers and loyal kitchen staff, but is hopeful to continue her culinary career amongst the bustling and diverse Boston food scene.
Kelly Her will replace Shannan as the new Chef at Café Bernardo Midtown. Kelly first joined Café Bernardo in 2010 as an intern from Le Cordon Bleu.
Join us in celebrating Shannan's 18+ years with the Paragary Restaurant Group and her involvement with the SPCA at a dog-friendly Happy Hour on Wednesday, July 31st from 5pm-9pm at Café Bernardo Midtown (2726 Capitol Ave). There will be eats and drinks starting at $3 for the humans, as well as complimentary housemade organic biscuits and water for the dogs. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to the Sacramento SPCA and the first 50 people that arrive will receive "doggy bags" with treats, coupons, and more!

U.S. destroyer arrives off Georgia, unloads aid
POTI, Georgia — A U.S. Navy destroyer delivered 55 tons of humanitarian aid for war-weary Georgia on Sunday as residents staged a second day of protests against Russian forces still occupying the country.
The U.S.S. McFaul, the first of at least three U.S. ships bringing relief supplies to ally Georgia, anchored one mile off the Black Sea coast of the southwestern city of Batumi, where crews used barges to ferry ashore bottled water, non-perishable food, blankets, diapers, cooking utensils and other items.
Stephen Guise, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital, said the ship would have preferred to dock at Georgia's dep-water port at Poti, but that the port had suffered too much damage during the war to accommodate the destroyer. Batumi's port is too shallow to accommodate the McFaul.
Guise said that contractors and aid agencies working with the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is overseeing the effort, would carry the supplies by road to war-affected areas in western Georgia. U.S. military planes have already delivered $13 million in aid to Tbilisi, which is closer to the heaviest fighting of the two-week conflict.
At least two other ships were en route to Georgia carrying relief goods, Guise said. A Coast Guard cutter also is due to arrive within days.
The arrival of the ships comes after Turkey, which by treaty controls access to the Black Sea, turned down a Bush administration request. Turkey, however, had already granted the McFaul permission to enter the Black Sea for a training mission, and
Navy officials quickly loaded it with humanitarian supplies. On Friday, the Navy announced that the McFaul and the cutter Dallas had been dispatched from Italy.
Russian officials didn't respond immediately to the arrival of the U.S. vessel, but they've criticized humanitarian deliveries by other NATO countries, including Spain, Germany and Poland, as fueling tensions in the Black Sea. "I do not think that this will contribute to the stabilization of the situation in the region," Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, the deputy head of the Russian general staff, said Saturday.
Nearly 130,000 Georgians were forced from their homes during two weeks of often heavy clashes between Russian and Georgian forces in the tiny former Soviet republic, according to United Nations estimates.
Russia withdrew most of its soldiers Friday under a cease-fire agreement but is building checkpoints around the pro-Moscow separatist regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, as well as in areas far from the conflict zones, sparking anger among many Georgians.
In western Georgia, residents continued to demonstrate against the presence of Russian troops and armored personnel carriers outside the "security zones" demarcated in the cease-fire agreement brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
On Saturday, protesters gathered near one of two checkpoints the Russians have established outside Poti. On Sunday, television images showed scores of protestors gathered near a Russian checkpoint in the northwestern town of Khobi, waving flags and banners that read, "Go home, Russians!"
Russian soldiers detained two Associated Press journalists who were filming at the checkpoint in Poti, the news agency reported. The reporters were "roughed up" and their cameras damaged.
One of the two checkpoints outside Poti is along a river that's used to transport goods to the interior of the country.
During the war, Russian airstrikes damaged the deep-water port, knocking out its radar system, and Russian soldiers reportedly looted the neighboring coast guard pier.
Guise, the U.S. Embassy spokesman, said that the McFaul, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, would have docked at Poti but for the damage.
"Batumi as a port is nowhere near as good as Poti," he said.
Elsewhere on Sunday, a fuel train exploded near the central town of Gori while traveling along the main east-west railway line, sending massive clouds of black smoke billowing into the sky. Georgian officials initially blamed the blast on a landmine planted in the Russian-controlled area, but Georgian media reports later said the cause was under investigation.

text: Indonesia policemen carry the coffin of one of their colleagues killed in Wednesday's attack [Reuters] Indonesia's elite anti-terrorism squad launched an investigation into the twin suicide-bomb attack in Jakarta that killed three policemen in an assault authorities believe was linked to ISIL. Authorities on the island of Java on Thursday raided the homes of two men suspected of blowing themselves up in Wednesday night's attack on a bus terminal in the capital. Three police officers were killed, while six others and five civilians were wounded in an assault that left body parts and shattered glass strewn across the street. "Terrorism is a serious reality that we are facing right now and it's a global problem. What is happening in other parts of the world can become an inspiration for other sleeper-cells somewhere else," said Indonesia police spokesman Setyo Wasisto on Thursday. READ MORE: Rise of ISIL in Southeast Asia Police said they believed there was a link between the attackers and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), without giving further details. Hundreds of Indonesians have flocked abroad to fight with the armed group in Syria and Iraq, and ISIL-linked combatants have been accused of being behind a series of recent plots and attacks across Indonesia. The bus station bombing was the deadliest to hit in Indonesia since January 2016, when a suicide blast and gun assault claimed by ISIL in downtown Jakarta killed four civilians, along with four attackers. In a televised address, President Joko Widodo said he ordered a thorough probe and was "urging all citizens across the nation to stay calm and remain united". Police said they believe officers were specifically targeted in the bombing. "Since 2010, the police have been a major target partly because there's a sense of wanting revenge against the police since they're the ones that go after the terrorists," Sidney Jones from the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict told Al Jazeera. The attack came as police prepared to provide security for a traditional parade ahead of the fasting month of Ramadan near the Kampung Melayu terminal, an area frequented by locals but not foreigners. The elite police squad Densus 88, which has played a leading role in tracking down and killing some of Indonesia's most wanted fighters, is now taking the lead in the investigation. Indonesian police spokesman Setyo Wasisto shows a picture of evidence collected from the blast site [Reuters] Pressure-cooker explosive In a raid on Thursday morning of one bomb suspects' house in Bandung city, police discovered religious literature and two bladed weapons, West Java province police spokesman Yusri Yunus told AFP news agency. Relatives of both men, whose identities have not been released, were taken in for questioning, he said. Asked whether there were ties between ISIL and the attack, national police spokesman Awi Setyono responded "yes there is", without providing further information. Suspicion is likely to fall on local network Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), which supports ISIL and has been blamed for recent mostly low-impact attacks. The bombs used in Wednesday's attacks were made from pressure cookers, similar to a device used in an attack by a JAD member in the Indonesian city of Bandung in February. Another figure who may come under scrutiny is Indonesian man Bahrun Naim, who is fighting with ISIL in Syria and has been accused of directing a series of mostly botched plots in his homeland. Indonesia has long struggled with hardline armed groups and has suffered a series of attacks in the past 15 years, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists.

A few thoughts while ruminating on the (remastered) Behind the Music: Deep Purple that I enjoyed way too much last night. Sad but true: It was only the second or third largest time waster I engaged in over the weekend. But I digress …
You might know, if you know me, that I'm a big fan of Jeopardy! If the categories are right, I usually beat the freaks and nerds that go on the show. What does that say about me? You be the judge. A bit more about my fascination with Jeopardy!:
A game within a game (with apologies to Hamlet)
I've written before, Karen and I play a game within a game while watching Jeopardy! We call it Ultimate Jeopardy! You basically wait until it's time for Final Jeopardy! They unveil the category and then go to commercial. During this time, Karen and I – and occasionally Garrett – will try to guess the question before Alex reveals the answer. Every once in a while, we'll get it right.
I recently expanded it to the Daily Double questions and won. The category was Graphic Novels, and I guessed Alan Moore (Watchmen). Major score! Those dweebs actually playing have no chance against me.
To be, or to be
I recently asked a semi-rhetorical question on Facebook. Should I audition for Jeopardy or The Voice. I was kinda crushed by the responses.
It wasn't that I was offended by the people saying I should go on Jeopardy! After all, they were voicing – you see what I did there – their confidence that I'm intelligent. It was just that I was offended by the people saying I should go on Jeopardy! who HAVE ACTUALLY HEARD ME SING.
They should know better …
The Canadian Ringers
I know, sounds like a pretty decent band name, doesn't it? Actually, it's a theory I have about the show. It has been well established that Alex Trebek is Canadian. That's why it's a pretty good strategy to study your provinces and rivers there before you go on – Canada categories seem to pop up more often than would normally be required.
(Alex supposedly is retiring in 2016. Speculation is that Matt Lauer will replace him. Ugghh! Can't we get someone who can fake being smart?)
Anyway, the Canadian Ringers are the pool of contestants that the producers summon when there's a boring champion who keeps winning. The next night, they will introduce someone who's a bait farmer from Saskatoon.
Karen and I have seen it time and time again. The Canadian, who obviously has been primed with the answer before the show, will defeat the champion in a one-off appearance. By that, I mean the Canadian ringer will inexplicably lose to a lesser contestant the next night. His or her sole function is to get rid of the boring champion.
I'm totally serious about this.
Just watch the next time they bring on a Canadian challenger. I'll bet you find that I'm right. In fact, I'll make it a true Daily Double, Art.

LONDON - The World Coal Association (WCA) today published a flagship report "The Case for Coal: India's Energy Trilemma". The report focuses on the challenges of meeting India's growing energy needs, future energy demand, CO2 abatement costs and the role that can be played by high efficiency, low emission (HELE) coal technologies.
Significant findings include:
Benjamin Sporton, Chief Executive of the WCA said: "India has 300 million people who don't have access to electricity. As with many developing economies, India needs all sources of energy available to meet its growing energy needs using the best possible technology. With the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicting that coal will continue to make the largest contribution to electricity generation in India through to 2040 it is essential that we promote the best available technologies to ensure coal is used as cleanly as possible."
India is currently the world's third largest energy consumer; this position will be consolidated over coming years driven by economic development, urbanisation, improved electricity access and an expanding manufacturing base. Indeed, the IEA forecasts that by 2040 India's energy consumption will be more than OECD Europe combined, and rapidly approaching that of the United States.
The report highlights the clear benefits of deploying supercritical and ultra-supercritical technology. WCA analysis shows that replacing subcritical capacity currently in the development pipeline with supercritical or ultra-supercritical technology would translate into significant reductions in CO2 emissions for India over the life of the power plants.
Mr Sporton continued: "Our analysis shows that investing in super and ultra-supercritical technologies in India remains a cost-effective carbon abatement alternative compared to investment in other generation technologies. Furthermore, from a global perspective, our research shows that investing in ultra-supercritical technologies in India may lead to higher CO2 abatement than investing in renewables in Europe."
Raising the average global efficiency of coal plants from 33% to 40% with off-the-shelf technology available today would save 2 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions. This is the equivalent of running the Kyoto Protocol three times over.
"As we approach COP21, it's essential that we quicken the deployment of all low emission technologies, including HELE. This is particularly true in countries, such as India, where energy demand is growing rapidly and the current trend is for subcritical power stations to be built. HELE technologies allow developing countries to minimise CO2 emissions, while not sacrificing legitimate economic development and poverty alleviation efforts.
"Expanding efficient coal consumption will help address India's energy trilemma of meeting demand, reducing energy poverty and actively participating in climate change commitments," said Mr Sporton.
About the World Coal Association
The World Coal Association is a global industry association formed of major international coal producers and stakeholders. The WCA works to demonstrate and gain acceptance for the fundamental role coal plays in achieving a sustainable and lower emissions energy future. Membership is open to companies and not-for-profit organisations with a stake in the future of coal from anywhere in the world, with member companies represented at Chief Executive or Chairman level. WCA is the global network for the coal industry.

I also cycled over to watch the time trials and thankfully the wife brought the kids in the car later in the day so I managed to avoid cycling home in the downpour.
Chapeau to the juniors who rode in the worst conditions possible. I think in future the organisers should consider having more portable toilets closer to the start.
The Team Sky crew were superb and happy to have a chat, especially Steve Cummings.

So I was up late one night watching television and I saw this:
At first, I admit, the segment made me want to drive to Silver Lake Park (The playground that is shown in the feature), pull out a bullhorn and yell out "MAS P_TO!" ala George Lopez. Nothing like seeing a bunch of Silver Lake alterna-yuppies making the television viewing audience feel inferior. Most people don't have the disposable income that some of this hipsters have to take their children to The Sippy Cups shows, buy organic food or have the luxury to have a stay at home parent. Then again, it's your child! Wouldn't you rather spend the money that you would spend on, let's say, cable T.V. and fast food on buying your child food that won't give them cancer or diabetes in the future? Wouldn't you want your child to enjoy art and physical activities rather than sitting indoors spending endless hours playing video games and watching T.V.?
If you don't have a disposable income, there are many free programs for children in the Los Angeles area that focus on art and music. Some programs have basic after school programs and others have such activities as rock band (ala School of Rock), DJ classes, Folkloric dance, even yoga classes for youth. Let's say you don't have the time or transportation to do any of these things; just spending time with your child, listening to them, creating with them and involving them in your life will do so much for their growth. It's hard to believe with so many choices that some parents make the conscious decision every day to prioritize what they want over their children's needs. That is just sad.

Pleasingly, the HTC Desire C comes running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest version of Google's operating system.
However, it seems like it's bad news if you're thinking of getting this handset for future-proofing, perhaps it's time to think again, as Android 4.1 Jelly Bean does not look like it's coming to the phone.
HTC said: "We know HTC fans are excited to get their hands on Google's latest version of Android. At this point in time, we can confirm that we have plans to upgrade our HTC One X, HTC One XL and HTC One S to Jelly Bean."
The brand hasn't ruled out the fact other phones may get the update, but we're not holding our breath given Android 4.0 never made it to HTC's previous budget flagship, the Wildfire S.
You'll also find the most recent iteration of HTC's Android overlay, Sense 4.0, present on the Desire C – providing a colourful and easy to use interface.
Although the Desire C packs new software, it is unfortunately stuck with the same power which graced the Wildfire S – a puny 600MHz processor and 512MB of RAM.
The lack of power really shows as well, with the general browsing experience feeling noticeably slow and sluggish.
Flicking through the five homescreens isn't slow, but it lacks the fluidity of the likes of the Huawei Ascend G300, which enjoys a 1GHz processor – although it is only running Gingerbread.
You get HTC's new unlock screen, which features the pull ring to unlock feature, as well as four app shortcuts that mirror the apps in the dock on the homescreen.
Pull an app on the lock page into the ring and you'll jump straight into it; however there is a slight delay as the lowly processor tries to process your request.
Homescreens can be edited by holding down on a free space, which opens up the widget menu.
This menu has been nicely designed by HTC, with thumbnails of all five homescreens running along the top – with the various widget options beneath.
There are also tables for apps and shortcuts, should you wish to add other bits and pieces, however make sure you don't get too carried away, as five screens is your lot – and they can fill up pretty quickly.
Thanks to the limitations in the power departments there's none of the 3D animations you see on the more powerful HTC handsets, with all screen transitions and effects staying flat, although we're not sure that will peturb many users.
Prod the multitasking key below the screen and you get the stock Ice Cream Sandwich menu system, instead of the custom HTC Sense view we saw on the One range of handsets.
Hit the app menu button in the middle of dock and the Desire C pops up the app tray. As with the homescreens, scrolling through the pages of apps lacks the fluidity we're accustomed to with other phones, but it's still perfectly acceptable.
Where the lack of power really starts to get noticeable is when you start opening apps. Receive a text and open the messaging app and there's a second delay while the Desire C remembers you've actually got a new message and displays it.
This got frustrating after a while, as it slowed down the whole user experience and with similar delays in other applications, using the Desire C day to day can feel a bit like wading though treacle.
We also found at times that the screen could be a little unresponsive, with us having to jab a finger in its direction a couple of times before it registered – however some of this was down to the slow processing of commands, rather then our touch not being received.
So the HTC Desire C doesn't have the slickest interface in the world, but let us not forget it is a budget handset and the experience is similar to the one we got on the Galaxy Y and Optimus L3 - even for the price it's not really acceptable, as cheaper phones manage to zip along with more aplomb.

Dukes, Freemasons, Jersey and all that sort of nonsense
Lord Patel posted Thursday, February 28, 2008 Happy 63rd Birthday SIR PHILIP MARTIN BAILHACHE Bailiff of Jersey to which the most extraordinary comments have been added ... to those interested in that sort of thing ...well these will be the sort of thing that those sort of people will be interested in.
Can what is said about Freemasons on Jersey be true ?Is the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey a Freemason ? Does the Freemasons HQ , on Stopford Road, St Helier hold any secrets ?
Was Sir Philip Bailhache, the Bailiff of Jersey Governor at Haut de la Garenne childrens home ?
Is the person in this Wikipedia photograph of Sir Philip Bailhache the HRH Prince Edward Duke of Kent, Most Worshipful Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, the governing body of Freemasonry in England and Wales, and has served as the Grand Master of the Order of St Michael and St George since 1967.(As was his Dad Prince George Duke of Kent - who died in a mysterious plane crash (Sunderland mark 3, W4026 en route to Iceland) on 25th August 1942 near Cathness -
The Duke of Kent had a long string of affairs with men and women before and during his marriage. The better known of his partners were black cabaret singer Florence Mills, banking heiress Poppy Baring, Ethel Margaret Whigham (later Duchess of Argyll), musical star Jessie Matthews and a 19 year love affair with Noel Coward. (Love letters from the Duke to Coward were stolen from Coward's house in 1942). Allegedly his loins were also known to Sir Anthiony Blunt, art historian, traitor and famed homosexualist and liar) .He is said to have been addicted to drugs , cocaine and morphine and reportedly was blackmailed by a male prostitute to whom he wrote intimate letters. )
This is coincidentally a picture of the Duke from Wikipedia ....
Odd factoid, The Duke of Kent is cousin to both the Queen AND Phil the Greek.

We can arrange private transfers by coach for your group both from and to the nearest airport.
A typical day
A typical day aboard the yacht could include:
Waking up amongst nature; to the unforgettable sound of waking crickets
Sailing alongside the beautiful unspoilt natural, often rugged, coastline
Swimming, snorkelling or kayaking in your own secluded crystal clear coves
Swinging in the hammock with a good book
Trying your hand at fishing
Visiting a traditional Turkish village
Visiting places of historical interest and exploring ancient remains
And, eating some of the most delicious home-made traditional Turkish dishes (including the compulsory BBQ cooked delights).
End the day watching the breathtaking and often mystical scene of the sun going down with a chilled glass of wine or local beer, trying more tasty local delicacies, and then choose whether or not to sleep under the stars.
Above all, a typical day is one spent relaxing, having fun, and enjoying precious time with family and friends.
You can choose where you would like to sail from and to, and which route you would like to take. The captain will then navigate you along your chosen route, stopping off at some of the most picturesque coves and bays along the way – knowledge gained from years of sailing, to enable you to experience the very best of the local area.
Whilst the captain will try and be flexible and accommodate any requests that you might have, the final itinerary on each day will be decided according to the weather and other prevailing conditions.
Some examples of routes for you to choose include:
Marmaris – Datca – Bozburun - Marmaris
Marmaris – Fethiyre – Marmaris
Marmaris – Kalkan/Kas - Marmaris (14 night sailings only)
Marmaris – Greek islands - Marmaris (usually the islands of Rhodes and Symi)

Iron Man Mark II, Movie Series
I have a stock pile of toys in boxes by my desk that really needs some attention. Iron Man Mark II finally gets a chance to fly out of the package tonight (and yes, I will send out your Lego Minifigure soon bubbashelby, and yes, sad that the Post Office is only a couple blocks away!).
Each new Iron Man figure out of the package becomes my favorite. I like how shiny this guy is, but not being super reflective. In the box all the black line detailing looks funny, but in hand looks nice. This figure is solid too, no loose joints. His weapon launcher fits firmly on arm, but a little dorky looking. A vary impressive action figure all around.

Hi! I'm Patsy Collins, aka 'The Travelling Writer' as I often work from a campervan wherever my stories are set. I'm a romantic novelist and short story writer. My short stories regularly appear in UK magazines such as My Weekly, The Weekly News, Fiction Feast and The People's Friend. I'm also quite often published in Irish, Australian, Swedish and South African magazines.
My debut novel Escape to the Country was first published after I won a writing competition. I've since published three more romances, A Year and a Day. Firestarter and Leave Nothing But Footprints. There's also the slightly darker contemporary novel, Paint Me a Picture which is set in and around Portsmouth.
Sixteen collections of my short stories are available, including a free one.
I've had some success with writing competitions, resulting in prizes such as tea with the local mayor, a silver trophy, T-shirt, dinner in the House of Commons where my poem was performed, an e-reader, books, cheques, book tokens and pens and other appropriate goodies.
As well as writing fiction I sometimes run creative writing workshops, talk to writing groups, and write articles. My non-fiction book, From Story Idea to Reader (co-written with Rosemary J. Kind) is an accessible guide to writing and publishing fiction.

Enterprise News Bundle
Share your company's news with your employees
When there are many news from many different sources in your intranet, some users might feel overwhelmed. That's where personalization can help. Our LINCHPIN plugins Enterprise News Bundle and Custom User Profiles work hand in hand to deliver those news to your users they are really interested in: Depending on certain profile fields, they can be presented news from different spaces and/or with different labels. This gives you the ability to tailor the content to every single user's needs.
In order to do this you first have to choose, which profile fields are relevant. You can select up to three profile fields which will be used to define those personalizations in the following steps.
Now you'll create a new news section. You can name it any way you want. Ideally you'll choose a descriptive name that hints on the purpose of the respective news section. In this example the news section's name is "Global", as we plan to deliver different news to users according to their "Location" profile field.
Within a news section you can define as many news channels as you need. The example to the left uses two channels: News from space "Corporate News Berlin (CNWI)" will be delivered to users with "Germany" in their Country profile field, news from space "Corporate News (CN)" to all the other users.
You can use wildcards and logical operators for more complex filtering arguments. Please refer to the page Useful admin information for more information.
In earlier Versions you could only define one space per channel, which allowed only for very simple news concepts.
Now you can use almost any combination of spaces and labels to define the kind of news that you want to show to specific users:
If you leave the field empty, the news channel will draw news from all spaces in your Confluence instance.
If you leave the field empty, the news channel will draw all news from the specified space(s), no matter what labels are applied to them
Linking labels with OR
If your news concept calls for a linking of labels with OR, you simply define several news channels - one for each of the labels you want to use. All the other fields you'll want to fill out identically. The second screenshot on the left shows an example for this.
As you can see in this example, the personalization fields are left empty. This way you create a list of OR-linked labels that come from one, all or certain spaces and will be displayed to all users the same way.
