We use the pronoun 'it' when we talk about animals and while that may be grammatically correct, we Australians refer to our pets as him or her depending on their sex. The family cat or dog is essentially a part of the family and like the rest of the family, they get the same level of love and attention that we would give to any person. No matter how hard we try to take care of our pets, there will come a time when they get sick and when that happens, it can prove to be quite expensive when the bills start coming from the vet.
This is why Australian pet insurance is so important and every home that has a pet, should have it. You insure your car, house and yourself against the unknown, so it makes sense to take out insurance for the family pet. If your animal needs x-rays, scans or an operation, the costs can be significant and you may not have the required savings to cover the bills. Nobody wants to see the family pet die and so if you have the necessary pet insurance, then you will have the peace of mind that comes with having it.
Here are some of the numerous benefits of having the right pet insurance for the other member of your family.
- Unfortunately 10% of pets that could have been saved are put to sleep in Australia every year because the owner didn't have the necessary cash to pay for the vet fees. This is upsetting to say the least and you really don't want to be in a situation where you have to choose money over your pet's life. Having the correct insurance gives you and your family the peace of mind that if something happens, your animal is covered.
- The wonderful thing about pet insurance is that you can attend any vet and your insurance company will cover the payments. You get to choose the vet that you trust and the one that you know will do everything that he or she can to get your pet back to normal again. With insurance that people get, the insurance company gets to pick the hospital that you attend. With your family, the opposite applies.
- Pet insurance also covers you for other outcomes. Should your animal cause damage to someone's property or it bites someone, then some insurance can cover you for these costs as well. If your pet has to stay at boarding kennels or a cattery for an extended stay while they get better, then your insurance covers this as well. When looking closer, it seems that your pet will get a better level of care than you if you get sick.
Pets, like humans, can get suddenly sick and if you don't have the spare cash available to take care of them, then you will have the unenviable decision to make if you want to put them to sleep or not. Don't put yourself in this situation and get the necessary insurance.

"Don't count the things you do, do the things that count." –Zig Ziglar
Last Thursday, Peaceful World Foundation along with guest facilitators Janardhan Chodagam from Brahma Kumaris and Taylor Garrett from Pachamama Alliance, hosted a conversation related to where do we begin to sacrifice financial success in order to gain the richness of peace. This question surfaced from a previous conversation Peaceful World Foundation hosted earlier this year about the modern day entrepreneur.
Taylor opened up the conversation with an interest in hearing Jay's story where he transitioned from a high salary job during the dot com era to joining a movement dedicated to peace. Jay shared the inspirational story of waking up one morning and realizing that money cannot buy happiness and with the blessings of important friends and family he started his journey as an advocate for peace. To learn more about Janardhan's story, check out his Tedx Talk:
Taylor posed the question, what about those who do not have the financial means to lead a legacy; those who do not have the money from their success, don't they have more to lose? The table discussed different aspects of this question and came to the conclusion that maybe the sacrifice arrives when one has a clear intention of the meaning of one's life. Questions such as why are we here? who am I? have shaped Jay's perception on the meaning of his life. Heidi described that by simply asking deeper questions with others in the search one can begin to prepare oneself for a life that has meaning.
Perhaps, to reach the goal of leading a peaceful journey, one needs to work for a company or co-create a business model that has goals which align with one's understanding of peace. And yet, we must prepare ourselves financially to take care of our basic needs. As our conversation deepened, we looked at another question how much is enough? If we are honest to look at this question, the answer may lead us into other possibilities.
We discussed how expectations and family obligations are an influence in regards to our career path. Jay responded, "If what I do makes me happy, I do not have a void to fill with expectations. If they are truly my friends and family they can only be proud of the happiness I have achieved." This brought up the reflective question, who am I living my life for?
Keenan, joined our table and we asked him about his perspective on the question. "We have to look at the word 'sacrifice' and how we measure the quality of life, to be able to answer this question." As a personal trainer, Keenan started describing how easily his work is quantified, "if you run for X amount of hours you burn Y amount of calories…"
I related to his description with an observation of how I spend my time commuting. "Each morning, as I wait for the bus, I find myself constantly checking my phone to see how many minutes until the train arrives. How many minutes it will take the train to get to my stop and even how many minutes it will take to walk from the train station to my destination. What I found in all of this quantifying was the same result; I always arrived at my destination. So why must I know the minutes? Can I be at peace with an unanswered question?" And Heidi added, "How do we begin to shift from quantifying our lives to finding quality in our lives?"
In conclusion, we ended the conversation with more questions and from there we returned to a phrase Jay mentioned in the beginning of the conversation, "you must know the WHY and then the WHAT will follow." If you know why you do what you do, the how, what, when and where begin to answer themselves.

Electroneum announces the adoption of Monero codebase
When the Electroneum journey began, we looked at a lot of cryptonight algorithm based coins. Monero was our favorite for a lot of reasons. However, we needed all the things for Electroneum before we can change it. The job may be too big for us in the alloted time. We eventually chose Bytecoin since the job is relatively simple.
Since Electroneum started to raise money, our profile was also raised and we were able to recruit a core member of the Monero team so we can work on the development of the Electroneum for Monero. However, at this stage, he wanted to stay anonymous and it may happen until we can prove that the Electroneum is highly successful.
We were able to co-develop Electroneum with both the Monero and Bytecoin codebase. Since this happened, we were allowed to test them against each other and choose which of them is better before launching it.
The wonderful news about this is that the testing phase is now done and we launched Monero. This is wonderful news for Electroneum because of the following reasons:
- When it comes to maintenance and future proofing, Monero is more developed than the Bytecoin. Since 2014, Monero had 4,795 commits while the Bytecoin only made 88 commits..
- Stability. There may be a lot of people who are working on Monero. Since this is the case, its development may be far more stable and it can offer a lot of features. It even has a lot of potential for flexibility and growth.
- It may be possible to ease acceptance and exchange.
- It is likely to become accepted and ease exchange since there are just a few echanges left at the list of Bytecoin. A lot of people may worry since it is now delisted from a lot of exchanges. They listed Monero on every note's exchange. If you list Monero, this may become the reason to list Electroneum. If we copy some files, it may live. However, it may get delisted from a lot of exchanges that may make anyone become worried. They were able to list the Monero on every note's exchange. It will become easy to list Electroneum if Monero is listed. It can live if we copy some files at their end and recompile our own code. It may take just a few hours of work for an exchange to list us.
- Command line languages – Monero may now be ahead in adding the capability for language in their command line wallet manager. It will allow the product to have a complex use of the different languages. It may even become easier for anyone to integrate the new language. Monero was able to think ahead and add the language capability to their command wallet manager. This allowed the complex use of the product using a handful of languages. It became easier for anyone to integrate the additional language. Monero was able to think ahead and add the language capability to their command line wallet manager. This was able to allow the complex use of the product with a handful of languages. Because of this, it was so much easier for people to integrate the additional languages in the compiled command line wallet manager.
The introduction of a small transfer fee.
Based on our stress tests, we were able to introduce a small transfer fee. It is 0.01 Electroneum or 1 eCent for any transfer.
We did this for a great reason. It is not to avoid further reward to the miners and take the profit as our own. This is for the protection of the Electroneum blockchain.
While stress testing, there was nothing that can stop the malicious users from automating the scripts and transferring the balance between wallet addresses as fast as they could. This may flood or clog the blockchain with useless transactions. Because of the small fee, the automated script can cost the malicious user money and deplete the total of the wallet. Unfortunately, we had to go through this because in the Utopian view of the world, we would love to have zero transaction fees. Yet, we would have to protect the blockchain by covering this eventuality. Because of this, we needed to make the transaction fee as small as the two decimal place system allows: 0.01 ETN. We hope that this won't offend anyone too much because it is lower than any other way of transferring value all over the world.

Dark mode has become one of the most requested features nowadays, and it only makes sense a growing number of companies are designing their apps accordingly. Following in the footsteps of Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, LinkedIn is reportedly working on a dark theme for its app.
Renowned leaker Jane Manchun Wong has fiddled with the app's code to uncover an unfinished dark mode, which appears to be in development as only a couple of screens are available in this interface. Based on the screenshot she posted on Twitter, it seems LinkedIn has made good progress in revamping its UI, as most icons are now shown in white over a dark grey background. Interestingly, some elements such as icons and text are still displayed in black, revealing there's still a little bit of tweaking to do before releasing this version to the public.
There's no timeline regarding the app's dark mode availability, as it can take a while to finish developing and testing it. It could be great for the company to roll it out next month, right after people come back from vacation. We'll keep you posted when it's officially released and as we learn more about its development.

Research Fellows Juan Robalino and Roger Madrigal made an important contribution for the Inter-American Development Bank's project called Quality of Life in Urban Neighborhoods in Costa Rica.
They look at how people value amenities in urban neighborhoods within San Jose. They find that neighborhood amenities explain 39% of the standardized variation of rents. Additionally, they find evidence that there are neighborhoods that are significantly better off than most of the other neighborhoods in the metropolitan area. Some districts (e.g. Mata Redonda) rank very high in housing characteristics but poorly in neighborhood amenities, while other districts (e.g. Escazú) rank poorly in housing characteristics but highly in neighborhood amenities. This shows the potential of indirect policy measures to reduce inequality in urban areas through the improvement of neighborhood amenities. They also consider differences in the way people value amenities by calculating prices in different urban areas. They find that some of the amenity prices change. In more sparse urban areas, Distance to National Parks becomes less important but distance to primary roads becomes more important.

What is My Homefinder?
My Homefinder is all about you. Giving you the choice to see what properties we have available to let and allowing you to make an informed decision if a property is right for your needs by viewing the weekly adverts of our vacant properties.
Can anyone register to join the My Homefinder scheme?
Yes. However, it will depend on your personal circumstances as to whether you are accepted onto the waiting list.
How does SSHA decide if I am accepted onto the waiting list?
Your personal circumstances will be assessed from the information that you provide us on your application form. From this, you will be placed into either Gold, Silver or Bronze band depending on the level of your needs. Here are some examples of the types of need for each banding.
How do I apply for a home?
Weekly adverts will be displayed on this website which will detail all available properties. They will also be displayed in places such as local libraries, leisure centres, doctor's surgeries etc. If you see a property that you are interested in you will be able to express your interest for the property by telephone or via this website.
You can choose your home in any of these 3 ways...
When are properties advertised?
All vacant properties will be advertised every Wednesday until 12 p.m. the following Tuesday when the expression of interest cycle ends.
If your expression of interest is successful you will be contacted as soon as possible at the end of the cycle and usually by 3 p.m. on the Friday.
If you do not hear from us by the end of the week it is unlikely that your expression of interest has been successful. Remember, we have new properties most weeks so don't let it put you off, just keep trying!
Can I view the property?
We can only make an appointment for a viewing if your expression of interest is successful. Please do not visit the property without an appointment.
How do we select the successful applicant?
The successful applicant will be the person who is in the highest band and who has been on the waiting list the longest, this being the date the application was registered.
SSHA operate a strict lettings criteria policy. Please click here to view details
of this criteria.
If your expression of interest is successful, you will need to provide 2 forms of I.D. for all people that are applying to move (just 1 for children). This information will be required before you can view the property. This can be letters from benefit offices, driving licence or utility bills such as gas/electricity/telephone.
Once these details have been checked, you will be able to view the property with one of our officers and make your decision about accepting it.
If you do accept, a housing officer will advise you how long it will be before you can sign for the property. They will also make an appointment for you to receive the keys and all the other relevant tenancy information to help you in your new home.
What will happen if my expression of interest is successful and I am made an offer?
Once you have been successful you will be asked if you wish to view the property and if so an officer from SSHA will arrange to meet you at the address and show you around. If you decide to accept the property you will be sent a formal offer letter.
What if my circumstances change?
You will need to inform SSHA as soon as there are any changes in your circumstances to ensure that you are always in the correct band for your needs.
Will I be able to find out more about who properties have been let to?
Each month you will be able to see the feedback results from the advertising cycles.
The feedback will detail all the properties that were advertised during that period and will list the following:
If your expression of interest was not successful then this information will allow you to see what band the person it was allocated to was in and the date they registered.
Why hasn't my application been banded/what further checks need to be made before my application can be banded?
All applications have to go through our strict verification processes and occasionally require further checks to be made before they can be banded into Bronze, Silver or Gold. The list below, explains the various verification folders that your application may move into before you can be banded and then eligible to express your interest in our properties
Pre-Reg – If you have ticked yes to:
UnderAge – If the main applicant is under 18, as rent guarantor details will be required
Disagree – If you have ticked that you disagree to the online declaration
Incorrect – If you have filled your application details incorrectly. An example would be a marital status of married when no other household members are on the application with you, as the system will assume that if you're married, then your marital partner will be moving home with you. If you are separated and require a property for yourself, then the status of Separated or Single would be the correct choice.
Owner Occupier - If you currently own your own home
Duplicate – If our system recognises your details or you have already registered an application with us
Query – If you or your partner has ticked yes to:
Homeless – If you have ticked that you are currently or about to be made Homeless
Tenant – If you are currently a tenant or have been a tenant in the past 6 years we have to verify your tenancy details, this involves writing to your current/former landlord for a reference
Medical – if you have ticked that you have medical circumstances. An assessment form will need to be sent to you if you have not already received one and returned before your application can be assessed for the correct level of banding, dependant upon your needs
Transfer – If you are currently a tenant of South Staffordshire Housing Association you will be required to have a clear rent account and a satisfactory property inspection as we need to ensure that your details are correct and you're not in arrears
What does the 'energy performance' of the property mean?
The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the rating the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills are likely to be.
The average UK rating of a domestic property is 'E' on the A to G scale. Please do not be concerned if the property does not reach the rating you expect as this depends on many factors including the age of the property, type and age of boiler, insulation thickness etc and ultimately the main aim is to improve the rating of the property.
Bedroom Tax - Will this affect you?
If your rent is currently paid either in full, or in part, by Housing Benefit and you are of working age there are some major changes which may impact on the amount of money you receive.
Bedroom Tax (also known as under occupation)
This is in effect a charge for having spare bedrooms, which comes into effect in April 2013.
Bedroom Tax - What will the changes mean?
A size limit rule is being introduced to Housing Benefit for working age people renting from a local authority, a registered housing association or other registered social landlord. By working age we mean anyone under state pension credit age.
The new rules will restrict the size of accommodation you can receive Housing Benefit for, based on the number of people in your household.
The new rules allow one bedroom for:
Bedroom Tax - How might the changes affect me?
It is possible that the amount of Housing Benefit you get to pay your rent and any service charges could go down. If, under these new rules, it is decided that you have more bedrooms than are necessary for your household your Housing Benefit will be reduced by:
If you are getting, or thinking of claiming Housing Benefit, or thinking of moving home, you need to consider this change before you renew or make a new tenancy agreement.
When is my rent payable?
If your tenancy begins on or after 4 December 2017 your rent is payable two weeks in advance. Before you start your new tenancy you will need to pay two week's rent. Your last payment will be due two weeks before the date your tenancy ends.
If your tenancy began before 4 December 2017, or you are moving into a home which is part of a retirement living community, your tenancy agreement sets out when you should pay your rent. This is usually every week or every month. Your rent is paid in arrears. This means that your last rent payment will be due at the end of your tenancy. Rent in advance is payable regardless of your income.
Why do we ask for rent in advance?
Paying your rent in advance reduces the possibility of rent debt and gives you the peace of mind that your home is secure.
As a social landlord it is important that we help all our customers to avoid rent debt. We want to provide support including debt advice and help into work. We want to meet the growing need for affordable housing and keep investing in home improvements. Most of all we want to provide people and families with secure homes.
Can I get help to pay my rent in advance?
If you can't afford to pay rent in advance you might be able to apply for a budgeting loan. To qualify for a budgeting loan, you or your partner must have been receiving income support or income based jobseeker's allowance for at least 26 weeks.
You can apply for a budgeting loan at your local Jobcentre Plus. You can also apply online or download a claim form here.
Budgeting advances are available to people to people claiming Universal Credit.
If you already claim housing benefit or universal credit in your current home, you can ask your council for a discretionary housing payment (DHP) towards your rent in advance payment.
What type of Tenancy Agreement will I sign?
If you begin your tenancy on or after 4 December 2017 you will be given a six-year fixed-term tenancy agreement. You will be required to complete a 12 month probationary period to the satisfaction of the association. As long as there haven't been any problems with the tenancy at the end of the 12 month probationary period you tenancy will continue for a further five years.
At the end of the six-year fixed-term tenancy agreement, your tenancy may be renewed, as long as there have been no tenancy breaches or significant changes in your circumstances.
Throughout the term of the tenancy and in the final year of the agreement, we will review the conduct of the tenancy as well as household circumstances, to help us understand whether a particular property is still suitable for the customer.

However, this is not so for many people. In fact it was a discussion on Kyle's blog post (feel free to read the thread) that has me thinking more and more about this topic. And not only thinking about it but trying to fix and insight thoughtful discussion around the ways in which we are teaching math.
Maybe a little background first. Math has been a hot topic for the past year, if not for the last century. For many countries, provinces, and states, math curriculum has undergone a significant change from what we grew up with as children. Some. like myself, believe that these changes are for the better, some have not. I was recently at the OAME and listening to Brent Davis a professor at University of Calgary. In his lecture he shared that the reason math curriculum was introduced was so we could have a work force to crunch numbers, nothing more and nothing less. As we have evolved beyond that (not saying fact crunching is not important) our skills have also changed and I think this is what we need to remember; we have evolved.
For this reason I and many others are proposing a more balanced approach to mathematics. Lets stop this war and needless debates and get to teaching good mathematical practises. One in which our students will push their thinking and really think about the numbers.
If it was up to me this is what I would include:
1) Math should be linked to Big Mathematical Ideas:
I think this is the first step to thinking about our students as mathematicians. Catherine Fosnot (2002) has some very interesting work around making our students mathematicians. One of the most interesting facts is there was a study done with so many mathematicians and they were asked to solve a problem. Not one of those mathematicians solved it the same way. I found this interesting because that is what I see math. Math is about the mathematics and there is not one way of doing things. We have to teach our students the understanding, the flexibility and the patience to be mathematicians.
2) Math is about real numbers:
Students need authentic experiences to learn. Let's think about ourselves and how we learn. Now some do learn through reading and replication but if you honestly think about how you learn a concept the best; it is through trail and error and than guidance from a mentor. This is the same for our students. They need real experiences so that they can play and discover the mathematical concepts. In my personal experience both in tutoring high school students and teaching mathematics in the primary and junior divisions it's the contexts that allow students to really understand what they are doing. It's the context that helps them build models of representation. In my classroom, these are often done through social justice problems and real life contexts.
3) Students need time to explore:
This goes hand in hand with the above comment. As much as we need instruction, we also need exploration. Students need time to make mistakes, reflect, debate and discuss. These experiences allow students to make connections between concrete and abstract thinking. I was reminded at the OAME that every mistake makes a new synapse in the brain. We need these mistakes I order to solidify our learning.
4) Students need Mentors:
My most recent research in understanding teachers questions has shown me the importance of teachers, not that I didn't believe that before. With a shift towards discovery learning, we as educators have forgotten the importance of our role, or what even our role is. I truly believe that we should not be the dispenser of knowledge but the mentor of that knowledge. Though through exploration students will learn (many studies to show this) they may not have tools to reflect or pull together the big ideas. I think this is where much of the back lash has come from discovery math, reform math or whatever you want to call it. As students explore and discover there needs to be some sort of guidance. This is where a teacher can shine and help students with the mathematics. However, my research shows that for this to happen, a teacher needs to 1) have a good understanding of mathematics, 2) have a good understanding of how children learn mathematics and 3) plan. I know that all teachers plan but this planning involves thinking of big ideas, landscapes and possible questions. It is these questions carefully placed that can allow students to figure out and make mathematical connections.
Take a look at this video of three of my students thinking about fractions.
They have never been taught fractions from me before this and in fact as a class we haven't even started the unit. However, that being said think about their learning and the role they play and the role that I play as a teacher. Where do my questions come from? Why did I ask them at the time I did?

5) Time for debating, conjecturing, discussing and proving:
For me this is the time for a teacher to shine; however not in the traditional sense of standing in front of the class and lecture or tell students how it should be done. Just like students need time to explore they also need time to debate as a community. It is through this debate that students defend their thinking, conjecture, question and solidify their learning. Moreover, it goes beyond just showing and telling. As a teacher the types of strategies that you show matter. How are you building the learning up, what questions are you modeling? How are you focusing the talk? How are you fostering talk? These are all questions that a teacher needs to be asking.
A great article to read is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4245QONE7HaSExrSUlWTjBrNEU/edit?usp=sharing
Also take a look at my most recent grade two conversation of multiplication.
6) Repeated Practise:
6) Repeated Practise:
Yes I said repeated practice! Students need it, but it's not just doing procedural learning over and over again. When I say repeated practise I mean a similar problem for students to continue their exploration. Students, well most students, cannot solidify their learning through one experience. In a typical unit my students will solve about 7-8 problems that could take three to four weeks to learn. These problems build their learning and knowledge from day to day.
7) Skills:
7) Skills:
Yes skills are important. They are needed but they are not needed like we use to think about it. For me it's how are we introducing facts. Do we make students think through facts? Are they taught in isolation or allong with concepts? In my classroom, students practise facts at home, they play math games in the classroom (here is a file of my math games: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4245QONE7HaaHl3M3ZKNWd3SUk&usp=drive_web). In addition before my problems start I often use string lessons which builds on mental math strategies and learning how to be flexible thinkers and playing with numbers. This to me is more important then struck memorization. It teaches students that numbers are not confined facts but that you can pull apart numbers and use known facts to solve other facts. Through this process students often learn all of their math facts, can recall them and use them in problems, which to me is way more important.
These are just a few of my thoughts on what I am calling a balanced math approach. I have a few more to hash out around integrating and implementing a center approach within my problem solving approach.
What are your thoughts? Don't you think it is better to discuss and fix our problems rather than lay blame about which is better? Shouldn't we think about our students first and their needs in their 21st century world? Love to here your thoughts.

There has been a lot change in the publishing industry in the past decade related to how electronic rights are exercised and compensated to authors. If you are going to sign a contract with a major publishing house, always be sure you understand the contractual agreement related to what you are giving away and what you will receive in exchange.
A key point to remember is that there is no such thing as a "standard contract" as some publishers might try to tell you. Everything is negotiable. Contracts offered by publishers are skewed in their favor so you must be wary to protect your rights and ensure that you just compensation for your intellectual property.
Groups like the Authors Guide and others that work to protect the rights of authors have been encouraging publishers to use a more fair approach in negotiating the compensation to authors related to electronic right. Many publishers have traditionally paid 10% or less for such rights. However, with the advent of the Internet and the ease of sharing information electronically, they can significantly reduce the cost of printing, producing, warehousing and distributing hard copy texts in favor of eBooks and derivative material offered in electronic format. This obviously increases their profit margin, so it is only logical and fair that they should share the additional revenue with their authors. Don't assume that they will offer this when you sit down to read their contact. Always make sure you know exactly what rights you are signing over to them and if they do not have the resources or inclination to exercise rights such as multimedia, hold these back for yourself, if possible. You can always negotiate the exchange later if they decide to pursue such media.
A good rule of thumb is to engage the services of a contract lawyer with experience in the publishing/entertainment fields to intercede for you with the publisher's lawyers. They speak the same language and can likely better interpret the publisher's intent.

I've installed a fishbone on top of the roof. I've got two tvs in different rooms. When connecting the antenna cable to each tv directly, it works fine, so we bought a tv splitter. It's a basic one: http://www.dicksmith.co.nz/antennas/ds-tv-2-way-right-angle-splitr-dsnz-cn3507
However, when we split it to two tvs, one one gets reception and the other one doesn't. Our house is in on top of the hill and can see the reception tower, so the signal should be strong.
Any ideas how I can make this work?

By Sanah Thakur
I often find myself puzzled at the irony of my expansive, often boastful, self-knowledge, with no real effort utilising that information for self-care. I know myself better than anyone could physically or cognitively know me, yet I struggle to indulge in matters of my mental well-being with the same passion as my mother does. If my personal well-being was a course, my maternal unit would be gracing the assignments with excellent effort grades, while my average grades stared guiltily at the floor. On this occasion of celebrating motherhood, I invite puzzled students to take notes on how to 'Mom your Mind'.
Under the millennial pretense, "I always have to be productive", I overload my day with numerous tasks, filling daily planners with ambitious schedules and pretty squares that remain unticked at dusk. I've grown accustomed to my mother's concerned cheer, 'Slow down', as I tackle the day's agenda like a footballer playing a 1 on 11 game. At burnout, it's coach mom that tells me off with research to back up her claims. The mind tricks us into believing it can hold more information, yet research shows that our short-term working memory is extremely limited. Studies reveal that at one time, the brain can hold only 7 pieces of information in its maximum capacity.
Therefore, emphasising the point that looking busy to show off our skills isn't the same as focusing to get the work done. To slow down doesn't mean to reduce pace, on the contrary, it means to prioritise that daily list and focus in a realistic manner. We might reward our minds for achieving that huge list of tasks, but in reality it can't possibly process all that information effectively at the speed we want it to. Getting those top three priority tasks ticked off my list with a steady mind, would make my mother a lot more content than tirelessly scoring ten tasks in the same breath.
Motherhood consistently proves that caring for one's child isn't necessarily giving them what they want or what they like, but offering them what is unquestionably good for them. And it is this crucial lesson, we must learn from our mothers and apply to the nurturing of our minds. Multi-tasking, though considered a trend to be acknowledged in this generation, is not as healthy as we think it is for our brains. Cognitive psychologists have found that switching between tasks causes the brain to drain energy and resources on small shifts. One study showed that it took approximately 23 minutes and 15 seconds to focus attention on another task after ONE interruption. And we all can shamefully agree that interruptions while attending to tasks are usually in the double digits- so you can do the math. The brain, exactly like a child, enjoys this dopamine-addiction feedback loop and convinces you to reward yourself for losing focus. It's these areas of our brain, that help us focus and also get easily distracted, that we need to train. In my experience, receiving praise from my mother after consistently focusing on one task, for a longer period of time, is more fulfilling than waiting for a pat on the back every two minutes.
There are innumerable ways in which mothers show their love, and it's the unconditionality of this love that keeps it strong. It's time I showered my mind with this same unconditionality. To allow it to sleep when it's exhausted (even if it is a 30-minute nap), to reward it when it needs it and not when it bullies me into it, to check on the load I feed it and the costs of overworking it and mostly, to make this self-care a daily practice. I promise to Mom my Mind; what about you?

One of the biggest obstacles in sales can be overcoming common objections like, "I'll sign up next time." While you can still keep in contact, getting another opportunity to discuss TVC may be challenging. The average person receives more than 100 emails per day, so it can be hard to grab a prospect's attention. Being strategic when following up and incorporating the tips below will help you positively stand out and lead to more sales.
How Often Should I Follow Up?
Sales associates should respond to inquiries about TVC's products within 24 hours. Waiting any longer leaves a bad impression and gives the prospect more time to vet competitors.
On the other hand, if you're contacting a person who has never expressed interest in TVC, do your homework on the prospect, if possible. List the benefits he or she could enjoy as a member and talk about TVC's history. After sending an email or making a call to introduce TVC, play it cool. Following up too soon can come off as annoying or desperate.
Wait at least 48 hours after leaving a voicemail or sending an email to follow up. After 48-72 hours with no response, send a short email reminding the prospect you recently contacted them and are excited to share more about how TVC Pro-Driver can help them save. Be sure to end your email with an invitation to connect.
If you still haven't received a response after another 48-72 hours, contact the prospect again to say you've reached out twice before and would still like to connect. Mention how TVC Pro-Driver provides major savings and suggest times for a call.
This process should take more than a week. People are busy and may be on the road or on vacation. After a week, if you've had no previous contact with the prospect and still haven't received a response after another two to three days, it may be time to focus on other promising leads. If you've previously connected with this person, consider following up until you receive a response.
Tips for Standing Out
Get personal
Always personalize your communication. Tailor your voicemail or email to the person you're trying to sell to, which shows you've done your research and are interested in connecting with them specifically.
Change it up
Don't continue to contact the prospect using only one communication channel. If the prospect hasn't returned your emails, try a phone call.
Timing matters
The timing of your emails and phone calls is also important. People are less likely to respond over the weekend or right before a major holiday. Before connecting, keep communication within business hours. When you have the opportunity to speak with the prospect, ask best day and time to reach them and which channel they prefer.
Don't overwhelm
Always be brief. When leaving an initial voicemail or sending an opening email, quickly communicate why you're contacting the prospect. Keep the focus on them and their company. Then, explain why you are contacting them now. For example, "TVC just launched a new Platinum plan, which I think could be a great fit for you."
End with next steps
Never end a call or email without a next step. If you're on a call, use it as an opportunity to schedule a quick follow up, if necessary. This way, you'll know when the prospect is free to talk, and you can eliminate time spent scheduling another call. If the call ends without the prospect committing to another meeting, you may waste your time trying to track them down.
Cutting through the noise can be challenging, but being strategic and efficient can differentiate you from the crowd. Learn more about follow up strategies here.

2013 has a lot more to offer in new products than 2012 for certain..
2013 has started fairly briskly in the world of electric garage doors and gates not only for sales but also for new products being launched into the UK. The 21st century is really starting to take a hold on many products with things such as smartphone control for roller doors from Seceuroglide, Bi Secur electric operator technology from Hormann and new super tough, super realistic high quality finishes for sectional doors to come from Hormann in the spring.
With new technology also comes a lot of scepticism in a lot of industries as to whether it will work and do we really need it anyway. For roller garage doors we can tell you the amount of insulated aluminium roller doors being sold in the UK is at an all time high and that should be great but the trouble is almost half of them are fairly useless and not worth investing your money in however great the deal presented may seem.
We have wanted a roller garage door with real security, safety and up to the minute technology for years now and the Seceuroglide has always been a favourite as it was one of the original doors made for the UK market many years ago. It is the most secure, the quietist and in our experience one of the most reliable and all this does not make it automatically the most exepnsive as it is certainly not.
Now we have smartphone control, brand new transmitter choices, GSM phone control and lighting used for security and convenience it seems something may have started to make the roller garage door truly integrate into the modern home and be more than just a lot of slats rolling around a steel barrel with a motor. Look out for many more developments with this door from here on!
Hormann have always been innovative with their doors and operators and they certainly have pushed forward this year so far. We saw the Bi secur series 3 remote control operators launched late last year and this gave the highest level of security for any operator on the market as well as some neat new features and brand new 'Ipod' style hand held transmitters.
What else do we expect this year?
> A new range of superb finishes recreating many different timber finishes and colours on their already world beating LPU40 sectional door series using a new technique with the best guarantees ever.
> A new extended range of Thermopro entrance doors with new designs and a Thermopro PLUS option - thicker panel and better insualation.
> Representation of Hormann by Mr Michael Schumacher no less! The new ambassador for Hormann and still the most successful formula 1 driver of all time.
> A new range of 100mm thich TOP aluminium entrance doors using carbon fibre!
> a new Titan metallic paint finish for the silkgrain sectional doors
> New products in the commercial door range to ensure the very best for the roller and sectional door options offered by Hormann Industrial.
Blimey, what else can we take on board this year?
Many other new developments and further developments of exisitng products are due and we will be the first to get them onto the UK market as they arrive.
Call for details on any of the doors, operators or high quality awnings we offer.

Bolia was born in Denmark, and that serves as our main source of inspiration through everything we do. The vivid nature and materials that surround us and the Scandinavian Design heritage we are so immensely proud of. A heritage built on simplicity, elegance, craftmanship and honest materials.
A design collective
We collaborate with a brilliant stable of world-renowned, international designers – both from upcoming, vibrant talents to established design studios.
And no matter in what part of the world our designers live and breathe,
they all share the same passion for Scandinavian design, natural materials and sustainable creations.
Just like the Scandinavian seasons, our designers are not afraid of change.
They love to push the boundaries of Scandinavian design.
To give it a new, sustainable and global view, and to be part of writing the next chapter of Scandinavian Design.
Bolia presents 'Our Scandinavian Design Heritage'
With nature as our main component and inspiration, and through the four changing seasons and the sky, the sea and the soil, we will pay our respects to the Scandinavian heritage that shaped us and has taught us to craft with our hands and minds.
Every design in our collection is made from nature's own materials and we are very selective about where and how every sourced material is produced. We don't just want to ensure quality at every turn, we also want to be satisfied with every piece, knowing it comes with a clear conscience, both ethically and environmentally.
Our designs are made for the picky, the choosy, the quality conscious and the socially aware. Because that's our whole philosophy right there; Our designs are tailor-made just for you by some the finest craftsmen in Europe. You can have each design however you want it, by choosing your favourite model in the perfect size. Made from your preferred sustainable material in the most beautiful fabric and colour.
All available in a myriad of combinations, and that one special blend that fits you. Only you.
The new Lookbook
Our new collection is wrapped in a new creative and visual universe – to reveal what's behind every design: nature. We are taking our creativity back to a natural habitat. With its earthy tones, calm colour palette, Nordic flora, fauna and breath-taking landscapes, the Nordic nature is not just something you can look at from a window – it's something you can actually live with, within the four walls we all call home. The Nordic nature that inspires us all – and inspired our designers on the quest for new wonderful master pieces.
Captured by the award-winning Danish fashion photographer, Henrik Bülow and styled by renowned stylist Christine Rudolph, this year's look is a respectful tribute to our Scandinavian design heritage. All paper used, is of course from sustainable and FSC-certified Scandinavian forestry.

Going off to college can be a scary thing; there is so much to take care of and look out for. The following article can help you out by offering tips and tricks about getting through college in one piece and with that coveted diploma in your hands at the end.
Make sure to bring enough soap, shampoo, deodorant and any other toiletries you need. Needless to say, you don't want to run out of these at any time. Purchasing in bulk is also a smart option, to make sure that you do not run out.
Get familiar with your daily schedule and the location of your classrooms. Chart how much time is required to get from class to class. Include other resources, like student aid and the cafeteria, on your map for ease of use.
If you wish to get the most out of studying, it's important to do it in the right environment. A dorm room is probably not a good place for you to study. It is a better idea to find a place that is quiet and where you will not be interrupted. Libraries are a great choice. If nothing else, purchase some headphones that will cut down on the amount of noise that you hear.
Take public transportation to school. You'll likely discover that you won't spend much longer going to class by the bus. You also save time from not having to search for somewhere on campus to park. You will also save yourself money on both gas and parking passes. It is another way of going green.
Your mother isn't coming with you to college. It's important that you monitor what you eat, keep your place clean, and get enough sleep. Establish a schedule that allows you to get enough sleep, go to all your classes, study and spend some quality time with your friends. When you're stressed out and eating the wrong foods, you may become ill.
It may seem best to buy books long before a class starts, but you may save some cash if you wait until the first day of each class. Sometimes, the "required" book is not really needed. This happens often with online schooling. Sometimes, the course content will suffice in teaching you the course.
Make sure you schedule dedicated study time every day. College life presents many distractions, but academic success should be your foremost priority. Regardless of how much homework you have, dedicate at least an hour a day to studying. There may be days that your work load is lighter but still do something academic during that period of time. It will make studying a routine.
Save Money
Buy used textbooks to save money. Textbooks are very expensive and can cost you a fortune if you're buying them brand new. Buying used textbook can be a wise investment to save money.
Although finishing college may seem like a difficult task, once you do it, it's a great achievement. Use the advice you just read, as well as following advice from people who love you and who have already been through college. Yes, you have a long road ahead of you. Fortunately, it is sure to be rewarding and memorable.

Hobnobbing With Orcas
Whales and whale watchers fill the waters around this remote Canadian village.
Moments after shoving off from Telegraph Cove in search oforcas, or "killer" whales, Capt. Jim Borrowman deftly turns his57-foot boat, M.V. Gikumi, 180 degrees and heads back to the dock. He knows hispriorities: "We forgot Mary's muffins," Jim announces. With hiswife's pastries and an ample lunch safely on board, we won't gohungry while scouting the whales, known as "wolves of the sea."
We find them, over and over again, and they are not alone.Myriad wild creatures populate the waters off this northeasterncoast of Vancouver Island, about 400 miles north of Seattle. Awareof the natural bounty, Jim started Stubbs Island Charters, thefirst organized whale-watching company in British Columbia, in1980. Today the Telegraph Cove outfitter leads multiple half-dayexcursions all season, and in 2001 it added the more in-depthexpedition we're on. It's called M-7, short for the "magnificentseven" species we anticipate seeing: Orcinus orca killer whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins,Dall's porpoises, harbor porpoises, Minke whales, Steller sealions, and, most reliably, harbor seals.
As we near Johnstone Strait, the triangular dorsal fins andmisty breath spouts of orcas cut into the horizon, and Jim angles Gikumi starboard. Suddenly, some half-dozen mammoth bodiesbullet through the water. In the wild, even a single orcapersonifies power, speed, and determination. A pod of them defiesimagination.
Our onboard naturalist, Jackie Hildering, never tires of thewhales' miraculous display, but she pragmatically observes theirmarkings. "It's the T18s," she says. Marine biologist LanceBarrett-Lennard agrees. A regular aboard the M-7 adventure, Lanceheads up cetacean research at the Vancouver Aquarium, and he'sinternationally renowned as an authority on orcas. T18s aretransients, he explains, quite distinct in vocalization, behavior,and diet from two other groups, known as resident and offshoreorcas.
"I wonder where they're leading us," Jackie muses, as the boatmoves in the T18s' wake. The excitement sends 12-year-old DavidGrethlein to his laptop to update a school report he'll give backin Syracuse, New York.
"My son is in love with marine life," says David's mom, Sara Jo.She's come here on a family adventure that includes her father andnephew. "We discovered we had a distant cousin who's a killer-whaleexpert," Sara Jo says. That cousin is none other than Lance. "So weplanned this trip to Telegraph Cove," she says.
All hit the deck rails when a radio call alerts Jim to agathering of dolphins. These choice prey apparently are nowswimming in the path of the whales. There could be some feedingahead, but we'll keep an unobtrusive distance. "We don't want tointervene in what happens one way or the other," Jackie says.
During this M-7 package of five day trips (with dinner andlodging in Telegraph Cove each evening), we see many whales andhear their songs. Those underwater vocalizations come in over Jim'shydrophone, which he submerges regularly. "The G-Clan sounds likedonkeys braying, and the R-Clan sounds like pigs oinking," one ofthe boys says. The haunting A-Clan vocals have become familiar toall of us by now.
"As recently as the '70s, you couldn't tell these orcas apart,"Lance says. "People thought there were thousands of them here."Thanks to the pioneering work of the late Dr. Michael Bigg, amarine biologist, orcas can now be distinguished as unique membersof specific families. Continuing identifications by Lance and otherscientists have produced an accurate picture of Northern Pacificorca populations. Instead of thousands, there are only about 750whales accounted for. "Everything changes fundamentally when youbegin to recognize animals as individuals," Lance says.
It certainly gives us more reason to want to know these whales.But by late afternoon, no orcas remain in sight. Jim shuts off theengine and we drift as he drops the hydrophone deep into theseemingly calm sea. Underwater clicks, cries, and whistles fill theair. Soon we'll return to Telegraph Cove, lovely wines, and Mary'sdelicious dinner. For now, I find a bunk in the pilot house andrelax with the boat's gentle rock and the backdrop of whalesong.
Sounds like the A-Clan to me.

Marci Deane talks with Simone McMillan of HomEquity Bank in Vancouver, BC.
Simone McMillan is a Business Development Manager with HomEquity Bank in Vancouver, BC. With over 15 years at HomEquity Bank, Simone excels in the business through her passion for people and experience with finances. From 2012-2013, she was the #1 National top producing BDM in Canada.
HomEquity Bank was originally founded in 1986 as Canadian Home Income Plan Corporation in Vancouver, BC. Over the years, the company's trajectory has led them is the only Canadian bank dedicated to exclusively serving seniors, helping them to live a fulfilling retirement with financial stability.
Today, Marci and Simone talk about how The Income advantage is the 2nd type of reverse mortgage HomeEquity Bank offers and how it's different than the Chip.
Key Points
- [0:30] What is Home Equity Bank? And how long have you worked with them?
- [1:45] CHIP actually started on the North Shore by an accountant named William Turnner.
- [2:55] HomeEquity Bank is regulated the same way as the other 5 big banks.
- [3:30] Tell us about your Income Advantage Plan.
- [4:15] One way the Income Advantage differs from a Reverse Mortgage, is that if you want a little bit of money each month instead of a large one-time payout, we can do that.
- [5:10]There is a myth that seniors are sitting on homes and have no debt. This is not true, sometimes there can still be money owing on a mortgage, or they have consumer debt.
- [6:55] Another area that an Income Advantage can help is when you want to gift income to your adult children to help them buy. This is important in the North Vancouver market where a small home can be upwards to 2 million dollars.
- [8:40] Care for an elderly parent can be expensive; why not use their house to help pay?
- [10:47] We are finding that financial planners and financial advisers really like the Income Advantage as a way to get all their clients assets working for them.
- [11:37] The accrued balance is paid off when the house is sold. You can make payments, but many do not. They let the properties appreciation take care of the difference.
- [12:25] How does a property tax deferral work?
- [15:00] Marci is a certified Reverse Mortgage specialist, so if you have any questions please email or give her a call at 1-604-816-8950.
- [16:20] Both the Income Advantage plan and the Reverse Mortgage are very simple, straight forward plans.

From Ramachandran's Notebook
Vilayanur Ramachandran has been called a Sherlock Holmes of neuroscience. Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, and adjunct professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, Ramachandran has brilliantly sleuthed his way through some of the strangest maladies of the human mind. He has done this by marrying simple tools such as mirrors and cotton swabs with an insatiably inquisitive mind and a tonic sense of humor.
One of the areas in which he has made some of his greatest strides is in the arena of phantom limbs, in which amputees and even those born without one or more limbs feel pain and other sensations in their missing body parts. Here, read Ramachandran's vivid descriptions of his experiences with phantom-limb patients and how he has managed to understand their singular dilemmas and thereby help them.

As a personal trainer and nutrition advisor, my job is to advocate, recommend and encourage my clients to enjoy a "healthy" lifestyle and diet. And, as we all know, this can be difficult with all the unhealthy temptations that exist in modern society.
The way people eat is also very personal. It is driven by many things, including emotions, peer pressure and socialization. People's dietary habits are often set in stone and are extremely hard to change without a strong personal commitment. However, there is nothing that has a greater impact on your overall health, mood and well being than your diet.
That brings me to "The 80/20 Rule of Healthy Moderation."
To the dismay of many, discipline is often regarded as a major aspect of healthy living. Although it's certainly an important part of achieving optimal health, occasional rule breaking is also important!
There's a simple guideline called the "80/20 Rule" that many health practitioners use with their clients. According to the rule, if you spend 80% of your time adhering closely to a healthy lifestyle, your health should be able to withstand whatever you do during the remaining 20% of the time.
In order to properly implement the 80/20 Rule, you must have a broad perspective and consider all the factors that can affect your health. For example, your level of stress, the amount of rest you get, your diet, and how frequently or infrequently you exercise all play a significant role in your health. According to the 80/20 Rule, you can only afford to spend 20% of your time deviating from the combination of all of these factors.
Plus, there are so many differing opinions on how to manage your weight safely and effectively. From the Beach Body craze to the Paleo diet, we have seen that not all programs are created equal. You need to find what works for you, your lifestyle and your body.
Presently, I am trying my hand at the Paleo diet, which is heavy on protein, mostly from animal sources. To strictly adhere to this diet, you'd need to consume things you'd hunt for or gather in the wild.
That's almost impossible to do in our modern age, so you follow a modified version: eat plenty of animal flesh and seafood. Round out the diet with eggs, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. This way of eating is related to the way cavemen ate as hunters and gatherers.
It also means you are to avoid all processed, dairy, cereal or wheat products, as well as tubers, legumes, salt and sugar.
I love the diet so far, but I also love whole grains. So I have adopted the 80/20 rule. If I do not feel like eating eggs for breakfast, I will have old fashioned oats with walnuts, blueberries and cinnamon. I also drink wine and that is NOT Paleo (apparently the cavemen did not drink so they would not become prey).
We're all different. Each of us has a unique tolerance for the burdens our body can withstand, and this can even depend on the type of burden it is. For example, diabetics are sensitive to sugary foods. Some people are prone to anxiety, so may have more trouble with stress when on strict diets. People with food sensitivities can have reactions that last for days and far exceed the amount of burden your health can withstand without issue.
The bottom line is that you have to decide for yourself how far you'll take this. You need to consider how much of a priority your health is, how much you are willing to sacrifice, and how much indulgence you need to maintain your sanity and happiness.
Obviously the less you cave in to unhealthy behaviors the better your health will be, and the more mentally and physically capable you'll be of enjoying life. However, if you're so strict that you make yourself miserable, it defeats the purpose.

6th-8th Grade History Activity: Johnson's Impeachment
Impeaching a president is very serious business. There are many steps leading up to the impeachment process. The initial steps include The House Judiciary Committee processing evidence of wrongdoing, hearings, meetings and votes. If necessary, the issue will move to the House of Representatives. After deliberating, the House will vote to determine if it will go to the Senate. If the Senate finds the President is guilty with a two-thirds majority, the President can be removed from office. After Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, Andrew Johnson became President of the United States.
During this turbulent time, political and public views held by officials and the people were very different. Andrew Johnson's stance on certain issues and the way he used his power led to Johnson's impeachment. To learn more and test your knowledge, use the interactive activity below.
This activity is available in our American History A course
The first half of a detailed two-year survey of the history of the United States, this course takes students from the arrival of the first people in North America through the Civil War and Reconstruction. Lessons integrate topics in geography, civics, and economics. Building on the award-winning series A History of US, the course guides students through critical episodes in the story of America.

Does this mean all our mecha are vertically squashed to the same size? :0
I'm told this might be used to make a CAST. It's written by you. Plus it names CASTs specifically. AND repeatedly. According to this one at least, Cure spells work just fine.
QuoteHm, maybe I should use one of the Evangelions as a mecha appearance? Decisions, decisions...Wait. You didn't select this yet?Also. I'm not sure what exactly is included in "self-buff class abilities for fighting" as far as what a character's abilities transferring to the mech goes.Self-buff means things that grant you temporary bonuses to a stat or does it include permanent benefits, like classes granting immunities to certain types of damage, fast healing, spell resistance, pounce and so on. Might also have missed the part about it but does a mecha benefits from the pilot's magic items?
Hm, maybe I should use one of the Evangelions as a mecha appearance? Decisions, decisions...
Does the "mecha weapons always provoke attacks of opportunity for firing while threatened" rule mean that abilities which allow ranged attacks to not provoke do not function for such weapons?
No, I cannot, because that would be enough words to fill a book if not multiple ones. Instead just follow this simple rule:-Does it apply to your own character's body ( except size change) and it doesn't affect others? Then it applies to your mecha.
Won't it be easier to have separated character threads, one for the High-end, one for the low-end ?
Still got a feat to pick, and work out the exact combat stats of my mecha (does it get my natural armour bonus as well?), but this is otherwise complete.
Is there magic transparency for this campaign?
Mostly in terms of SR working against it or not.
Also, is the Birthday Cake half-golem material's special fast healing stacking with other sources of fast healing? Like the Saint's or the fast healing granted by other materials?
Could there be a martial equivalent of Fewmet/Grisgol? I'd rather use some maneuvers as an Ex ability than cast spells as such. Even though it might be stronger.
Unlike normal martial disciplines, Burning Justice maneuvers do not need to be recharged, but consume energy from the mecha equal to the Maneuver's level x 5 when used. Stances do not cost any energy to maintain, but their cost must be paid when the pilot switches to it.
That was an oversight on my part, added that clause to Into The Danger Zone, thanks for pointing it out!Moon Vanguard has to both ready maneuvers and pay energy.Also, IC thread should be up shortly (hopefully).

The FSO Polonez is a Polish motor vehicle produced from 1978 to 2002. The car name comes from the Polish dance, polonaise. Essentially the car was a rebodied Polski Fiat 125p, which Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) built under licence from Fiat, based on the Fiat 125. The internal components (engine, chassis, and other mechanicals) were straight from the Polski Fiat 125p, but clothed in an entirely new hatchback body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The car was meant to be equipped with Fiat's DOHC engines in the 1980s, but a crisis at the time made the purchase of a licence from Fiat impossible. This is also why the 125p was produced simultaneously with the Polonez for more than a decade. Moreover, mechanical modernization only took place when it could be applied to both cars. This situation finally changed after the production of the 125p ended in 1991. An advantage of the Polonez is its passive safety. Crash tests were performed in 1994 according to EU safety regulations so that the Polonez could be exported worldwide. They proved the car to be very safe. The Caro 1.9GLD hitting a concrete block (without an energy-absorbing metal cage) with 40% of the front at 50 km/h (31 mph) survived very well. All doors could be opened without any difficulty, there were no critical injuries for passengers, and no fuel leakage occurred.
Technical data:
- engine: 4 cylinders
- capacity: 1481 cc
- horsepower: 82 HP
- gearbox: 5+1
- top speed: 160 km/h

Peacock Theatre, London, UK; January 9, 2015
Charlotte Kasner
We see the Royal Danish Ballet all too rarely, so what a delight then, to experience this smorgasbord of their most celebrated works.
One of the oldest companies in the world, they are the repository of the great August Bournonville's work, although it is not a museum piece but a living tradition that we witness. Seeing the intricate épaulement, batterie, use of the head and upper torso, it is clear how much has been sacrificed by the current mania for high extensions and general flashiness. How glorious to see pirouettes from deep pliés and jetés from second position. How exciting.
The evening opened with the pas de sept from Bournonville's "A Folk Tale"; the wedding set piece. It contains all the signature movements that one might expect with a myriad of technical demands throughout. It was somewhat of a shaky start though, especially from the women. The men were much more assured, producing feather-light landings and twinkling batterie, although turns were less than perfect. Indeed, most of the dancers seemed to struggle with tours, turns and promenades. Was the stage sticky? Costumes, a rather garish red, were not very appealing.
The surviving section of "Flower Festival at Genzano" used to be a staple of Festival Ballet's and Ballet Rambert's repertoire, but has been sadly neglected in recent decades on our shores. It is a delightful work with many challenges for dancers and it avoids the tweeness of much of the 19th Century oeuvre. It is in safe hands here, with fine performances from Diana Cuni and Andreas Kaas. Kaas is powerful but nuanced and Cuni assured and delicate. Bournonville created great dance, with every step imbued with character. A little glance here, a brushing kiss there, this makes sense of épaulement by connecting it with eye contact and flirting. The costumes, in fetching shades of green, are gorgeous; at one point, the arc formed by the hem of Cuni's skirt echoes the curve of Kaas' arm in perfect harmony.
The "Jockeys' Dance" is a perennial gala favourite, although one suspects that riding "From Siberia to Moscow" (the ballet from which it comes) would not be that much fun nor costumes stay so clean! Martin Kutinski and Sebastian Haynes produced strong performances without ever descending into cartoonish caricature with both landing as silently as panthers.
The first half ended with Act II of "La Sylphide", a rather long section given the lack of set. Not one of my favourites at the best of times, it was rather tedious, however credit must be given to Sorella Englund who gave us an impressive Old Madge.
The second half was devoted to two pieces: a pas de trios from "Conservatoire" and the pas de six and tarantella from "Napoli". The pas de trios was delightful with a particularly strong performance from Ulrik Birkkjaer. "Napoli" was danced with great gusto and brought the evening to a rousing conclusion.
Let us hope that we don't have to wait another decade to see this company again, and perhaps with sufficient funding to provide live music.

Grammy winner Brandi Carlile brings tour to Foxwoods
Singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile is having a standout year. Not only is she touring in support of her Grammy-winning album, "By The Way, I Forgive You," she's also part of new country supergroup The Highwomen, with Maren Morris, Amanda Shires and Natalie Hemby; the quartet released its acclaimed debut album last month.
"By The Way, I Forgive You" features 10 tunes written by Carlile and longtime bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth, including "The Joke." When she performed it on the live Grammy broadcast, The New York Times said, "Carlile's vocals were robust, ragged, full of sneer and hope. On a night curiously light on impressive singing, it was an uncomplicated, genuine, cleansing thrill."
Carlile spoke about the tune in a story by Ann Powers on NPR.org. "There are so many people feeling misrepresented (today)," she said. "So many people feeling unloved. Boys feeling marginalized and forced into these kind of awkward shapes of masculinity that they do or don't belong in... so many men and boys are trans or disabled or shy. Little girls who got so excited for the last election, and are dealing with the fallout. The song is just for people that feel under-represented, unloved or illegal."
Part of the tune's magic is in its chorus, where Carlile sings: "Let 'em laugh while they can / Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind / I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends / And the joke's on them."
Discussing the song in her NPR.org piece, Powers called it, "A country-rock aria dedicated to the delicate boys and striving girls born into — and, Carlile insists, destined to triumph over — this divisive time."
Fans can catch Carlile performing "The Joke" and more when she brings her tour to Foxwoods Resort Casino Thursday, Oct. 24. Her music spans multiple genres — the tour recently included a special performance of Joni Mitchell's "Blue," in its entirety, at Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall. That concert was all the more special because Mitchell was there; Carlile is a huge fan.
Randy Lewis, of The Los Angeles Times, wrote "Mitchell's presence made the songs feel all the more personal and aided Carlile in her mission to keep the focus on the songs and their composer." Lewis wrote the idea for the homage "was sparked nearly a year ago when Carlile took part in a pair of tribute concerts saluting Mitchell's music in conjunction with the Canadian singer, songwriter and painter's 75th birthday."
Carlile has released six albums, including 2017's "Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of the Story (An Album to Benefit War Child)." The album features 14 artists, such as Dolly Parton, Adele and Pearl Jam, covering the songs on Carlile's 2007 breakthrough album, "The Story." Profits from the 2017 record benefit Children in Conflict via Carlile's Looking Out Foundation, which aims to raise $1 million for children impacted by war.
Foxwoods Resort Casino, Grand Theater, 350 Trolley Line Blvd., Mashantucket. Thursday, Oct. 24, 8 p.m. $99.50, $79.50, $59.50. 800-200-2882

The tools involved in detecting pancreatic cancer range from your history of symptoms to blood tests and imaging procedures.
Early diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer offers the best odds of beating the disease.
Unfortunately, there is still no screening test, such as a blood test, that can reliably detect pancreatic cancer — much less small lesions, precancers, or early-stage tumors.
What's more, noticeable pancreatic cancer symptoms that might raise a red flag, such as jaundice, rarely develop until the cancer has spread.
When symptoms finally appear, they often mimic those of other, much more common illnesses, potentially delaying diagnosis even further.
If you're not feeling well and not improving, talk to your doctor about the persistent symptoms you are experiencing. Your doctor, often in consultation with appropriate specialists, such as a gastroenterologist, can order tests that will provide more information about what's causing your problems.
A medical evaluation will typically begin with the doctor getting your medical history — including the pattern and severity of the symptoms you may be experiencing — and conducting a physical exam.
Because the pancreas is hidden behind the stomach and other organs, the doctor will most likely be unable to feel a pancreatic tumor unless it has already advanced to the later stages of the disease and grown large.
But the doctor may be able to detect any swelling of the liver or gallbladder by feeling your abdomen. These can be pancreatic cancer signs.
Jaundice — yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes — may be another indication of trouble.
Imaging tests can help doctors look for pancreatic cancer and determine how far the disease has spread.
There are a number of different imaging tests that doctors can utilize if they suspect pancreatic cancer. A few of the key ones:
RELATED: All About the Pancreas: Anatomy, Function, and Its Connection to Diabetes
No currently existing blood test can reveal pancreatic cancer in the way that PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels in the blood point to prostate cancer.
But blood tests can deliver other types of information that are useful in a pancreatic cancer diagnosis:
RELATED: Blood Test for Pancreatic Cancer Shows Early Promise
The most accurate way to diagnose pancreatic cancer is through biopsy: removing a piece of tissue from the suspected problem area and analyzing the sample under a microscope.
Doctors can collect this tissue through various biopsy methods:
RELATED: What Is a Pancreatic Cyst?
Some people are at increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer because of family history, such as two or more first-degree relatives who have had the disease or a first-degree relative who developed the disease before age 50.
Other men and women may be at high risk because of an inherited genetic syndrome associated with pancreatic cancer.
These people may have access to surveillance programs that involve regular monitoring through imaging tests such as EUS, CT scan, or ERCP.
They may also take part in experimental imaging procedures, receive advanced genetic testing, and permit researchers to collect biological fluids, such as blood and pancreatic juice, for analysis.
Not only do participants get the benefit of cutting-edge detection methods, they are also helping researchers develop new options for early diagnosis that can improve mortality rates overall. (2)
Developing new tools and methods that can diagnose pancreatic cancer early is key to helping patients survive.
Scientists are actively studying the genetics of pancreatic cancer in order to identify biomarkers (measurable substances in bodily fluids like blood) of early-stage pancreatic cancer.
Some of this research has been encouraging. For instance, one early-phase study, led by teams at the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center and the Mayo Clinic, homed in on two specific proteins: THBS2 and CA19-9. A screening test that measures levels of these proteins in blood may help physicians diagnose early-stage cancer in people at high risk.
More testing and clinical trials are in the works. (3)
Scientists are also developing new imaging methods that show potential. One method under investigation enables doctors to look for minute changes in the cells of the duodenum (part of the small intestine next to the pancreas) that may be early evidence of pancreatic cancer. (2)
