2014 ends and 2015 begins
Greetings fellow travellers, Namasté.
In my last newsletter for the year I think you will agree with me, when I say 'whew', what a roller-coaster ride 2014 has been!
The Uranus/Pluto square has certainly shaken us all up, and opened up new possibilities as the old structures no longer viable fall away and new paradigms feed into our collective consciousness, broadening our vision of possibilities and colouring our longing for a world where we can all thrive and evolve, supported by one another with awareness and Heart.
This notion can easily be supported by Mars' entry into Aquarius on December 5th (AuEST), for the first time in two years. Group action based on humanitarian concepts of brotherhood. 'We all in this together', is a typically Aquarian viewpoint and having Mars to motivate this direction could be just what the doctor ordered. This will be supported by Jupiter, which is still in generous and heartful Leo, and could bode well for mass consciousness moving together in a positive trajectory for our future as a species on this beautiful generous planet, our mother Earth.
The full-moon on December the 6th in Gemini/Sagittarius. The Sun is flanked or contained by Mercury and Venus, which gives me the sense that the festivities will be very social and people will enjoy communicating and passing on information. Sagittarius' ruler, Jupiter is still in Leo and at the time of the full-moon in the first house, (AuEST) which augers well for laughter and optimism.
We end the year with Saturn moving into Sagittarius on Christmas eve, 24th of December.
Most Scorpio's I know are breathing a sigh of relief, many have had to face their deepest fears and self-criticisms, and some of them are proud of the new levels of discipline and effective action they have been able to achieve with the help of Saturn, the Lord of the material world and 'father Time'.
Saturn moves into Sagittarius for the first time in thirty years, and will be quite different. Sagittarius, the expansive and courageous adventurer, who brings much positivity and humour to the rest of us when things seem to get stuck.
Now Saturn will influence Saggie's to cull away the excesses, the hype of living in adventure-land, and possibly even come down to earth and ground some of those ideals and aspirations. There is the possibility of discovering that there is actually more freedom when a structure has been upheld or implemented. Sagittarians probably won't like to hear this, unless they are mature and willing to take responsibility as they inspire the rest of with their idealist and philanthropic outlook. Its time to walk-the-talk!
In 2015 we are coming to the end of the Uranus/Pluto square, and very often one feels the transits more powerfully as they conclude. The last connection between these to transformers is in February 2015. Things could get a last big shake-up, to bring down the last components of an old world which has kept us from moving forward into what Eckhart Tolle calls 'The New Earth'.
I will write more about this in January to remind you that everything changes!
Wishing each and everyone of you a marvellous and safe holiday season, and a harmonious and productive 2015.
The Full Moon on May 25th (EST 2:27pm) is a partial Lunar Eclipse is the last of a series of Lunar and Solar eclipses which started on April 25th with a Lunar eclipse, and culminated as a Solar eclipse on May 10th.
The earlier eclipses activated the Taurus/Scorpio polarity and opened up doorways to deepen inner values. In some cases disturbing the status quo profoundly enough to require transformational work to take place, and a deep letting go of beliefs, attitudes and principles which may have held us in good stead in the past but no longer have the same credibility.
With the Lunar eclipse on Saturday (here in Australia and New Zealand) in Gemini/Sagittarius we can expect more understanding and expansion to take place as we integrate the changes.
I looked up the Sabian Symbol for the degree of the eclipse (4º Sagittarius)
(from 'An Astrological Mandala: The cycle of transformations and its 360 symbolic phases" Dane Rudyar)
"A little child learning to walk with the encouragement of his parents."
Keynote: The natural assistance of superior powers during crises of growth.
At an early stage in its development, every living organism must make and attempt to overcome the power of gravitation, or rather to learn to use it in order to fulfill the purpose of its life. This implies passing through a critical state of growth _ growth in freedom, potency and individuality, inasmuch as "walking" always symbolizes self-induced progress. In such a crisis the individual is not left alone. Some more evolved Power and Intelligence watches, encourages and gives examples to be followed.
To me this is about us integrating the new energy and insights we gained from the previous two eclipses and like a small child has to individuate needs support from those who have been there before. This was echoed by the North and South Nodes (which are to do with the evolution of the Soul) being trine (harmonious) to Chiron (representing those places where healing needs to happen).
Looking further into the chart of the Full Moon/partial Lunar eclipse chart, I see that Neptune in Pisces trines Saturn and forms a square to the Sun and Moon, further implying that through healing wisdom and compassion the fragmented aspects of ourselves dislodged especially by the previous eclipses; the revolutionary energy of the Uranus/Pluto square (which was exact again only a few days before); as well as abrasive Mars being opposite the Moon for several days has brought anxieties and fretful emotions to the surface and can be refined and soothed by the unconditional love of that Piscean Neptune. If there is confusion and disorientation, it serves to look inside, and take some psychic space.
Another important influence is that Mercury, Venus and Lilith (the Dark Moon) are exactly conjunct each other in Gemini as well. There could be some important and productive revelations about women's equality and rights. Lilith represents the consciousness that women and the female aspect of our consciousness are/is equal to the male side. The breaking down of limiting patriarchal rules (male consciousness) is part of the evolution in consciousness being activated by the Uranus/Pluto square.
Greetings astrology lovers
As I sit here and write I can still sense the pull of the full moon which happened about five hours ago in Pisces/Virgo. The gentle and yielding energy of Pisces/Virgo, which brings us all into our humility and sense of action for the common good.
Mercury is just pulling away from its conjunction to Mars in Pisces and Chiron still sitting in Pisces bringing waves of deep healing to all of us. The Mercury/Mars conjunction in Pisces has been giving us the ability to use the power of our imaginations to manifest a better world for ourselves and the collective. Pisces, the big heart-opener, the Compassionate one heals with its unconditional listening heart, our imaginations stoked by the other-wordly light of this can really have the most beautifully positive influence.
On the so-called negative side, it could be that we are more escapist than usual, avoiding issues and harboring our anger or resentment in wishy-washy quagmire of self-pity.
And yes I'm sure we all can have both those qualities within us! The challenge is to bring unconditional self-acceptance and compassion to ourselves as well as to others. And since Mars likes to be manifested physically, I recommend dancing, swimming, Yoga, Qigong or Aikido as a way to release physical energy from a cellular level, in the most Piscean way possible...ie with music, meditation or water.
Jupiter is now steadily moving forward through Gemini until the end of June when it goes into Cancer. This is such an expansive and opening time for Gemini's and Sagittarians, new vistas are opening, the horizon and beyond is revealing boundless possibilities, the challenge for Gems and Sagi's, is to stay grounded and not get overwhelmed by all the possibilities.
Saturn in Scorpio went retrograde a few days ago, which means that we need to discipline ourselves internally, and one of those discipline's is to not be self-critical. Its a good time to start some new self-improvement regime, and also a great time for de-cluttering not only our earthly possessions, but also outworn belief systems and thought patterns which no longer serve us. Saturn in Scorpio is lean and can be mean, but either way it wants us to be more streamlined in our actions.
I will certainly be de-cluttering my own household and workrooms in the coming week, as I am in the midst of moving. This article, shorter than usual, but I will write more thoughts about the luminaries and planets in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned..
In Pisces Mercury is conjunct Neptune and coming up to conjunct Mars ~ a great time to allow your imagination to expand into what you want..open your mind to the boundless mystery where so much exists the mind cannot usually begin to approach..and with Venus in Aquarius trine Jupiter forward now in Gemini: very inspired and expansive creativity, and an excellent time to allow your soul to be moved by music ~ dance!
Water will help you float in that too...let yourself be moved into heart space with loved ones..and tell people you love them! (Mercury!)
Jupiter is going direct
Its exciting that after nearly four months Jupiter is slowly starting to go direct again! Now at around 6 degrees of Gemini, it will sit in a stationary position until Saturday evening (in Australia), and then it will really start moving forward in its direct motion, and at quite a pace through Gemini. On the 27th of June it will move into Cancer. Lucky Gemini's are so fast and mercurial, in another sign it would almost be overwhelming!
For these next few days use the stationary Jupiter in Gemini to hold a deep and expansive space in your thinking. If you've lately taken some new paradigms or philosophy's onboard, take a few days to really integrate them. When Jupiter was retrograde a lot of internal openings would have been happening, making available new thought patterns and neuron pathways, as new ideas were coming from deep inside. Take a moment to sense other people's lots as well, Jupiter really looks for a wider and more inclusive humanitarian reference point. Enjoy!

Overseas Mission
Where we are
The Overseas Mission work in France is centred in Orvault, in the northwest of greater Nantes, an agglomeration with a population of almost 600,000 in the Loire Valley in the northwest of France. Nantes is the administrative capital of the Loire region and is one of the most important centres of population in France. (www.nantes-tourisme.com)
Visit the fellowship's website.
History of RP work in France:
The Church in Ireland first sent a team of missionaries to France in 1986. Having done language study in Massy the team, made up of Rev Malcolm Ball and Rev Blair McFarland with their families and Miss Margaret McMullan, moved to Nantes in 1988. Margaret McMullan retired from the work in 2000 and in 2006 Rev McFarland returned to Ireland and took up the pastoral charge of the Bready congregation. Malcolm and Muriel Ball were joined in Nantes in 2011 by Rev Andrew Lytle and his wife Heather.
Rev Malcolm & Mrs Muriel Ball
Rev Andrew & Mrs Heather Lytle
Church in Nantes:
The church known as l'Eglise Réformée Evangélique has been meeting in the same premises situated at 141 route de Rennes, Orvault since 1991.
Getting there:
The meeting place is easiest found from the ring road. At porte de Rennes, instead of following direction Rennes, follow direction Orvault-Grand Val. This takes you on to route de Rennes. Continue straight for 800yds and the meeting place is on the right at the corner with rue de Reynière. 141 route de Rennes, 44700 Orvault.
For Satnavs - the latitiude/longitude is: 47.256319°, -1.578733°.
What's on?
The worship service every Lord's Day morning is at 10:30 with Malcolm and Andrew sharing the preaching. The service is conducted in French but an English translation of the sermon is available. Every two months a church lunch is held after the service in a nearby hall.
On Lord's Day evenings, fortnightly, in the Lytle's home, we hold a Bible Study for students and young adults in French and on Monday evenings the Bible study is in English.
On Wednesdays, in the afternoon there are English classes in the church meeting place. The regular midweek Bible study is on Wednesday evening.
On Thursday evening there is an English Café for students which meets in a café beside the university and which brings together students from many different nationalities and backgrounds. This student work comes under the umbrella of the association DAC (Discuter, Apprendre, Croire) the website for which is www.nantesdac.blogspot.fr.
Each month, on the 3rd Thursday, a « friendship meal » is provided for people in the area who come for a chat and a light lunch.
Every other Friday evening the youth group meets and on the first Friday of each month there is a prayer meeting.
Once a month, on a Saturday morning, there is a club for children up to the age of 11.
One-off events such as Irish evenings and special evangelistic meetings are also organized from time to time.
On the Web:
The church website www.ere-presbyterienne.com is an invaluable means of outreach and communication and is attracting an ever-growing number of visitors.
There is also a Facebook site under "Eglise Réformée Evangélique d'Orvault"
Outreach Teams
Outreach teams have been coming to Nantes at Easter each year since 1990 to help with different aspects of the work. The main part of their work is the distribution of over 30,000 copies of an evangelistic leaflet "Réflexions". As well as participating in many of the regular activities, the team also organizes a musical evening to which friends and neighbours are invited. Every two years a summer mission team from the RPCNA is welcomed.
How can you help:-
Prayer is a vital element in the work and the prayer support of hundreds of Christian friends throughout the world is greatly appreciated. Each month prayer requests and updates are sent to supporting churches and individuals. Prayer letters which give a more personal insight into missionary life in France are also sent. If you would like to receive these, contact either Malcolm or Andrew and ask to be added to the email lists.
Many congregations pray regularly for the work in France but we would also encourage individuals to set up prayer groups to pray specifically for France with people who share a similar burden for the work.
Visit Nantes and worship with us –
Nantes is easily reached. By plane there are flights from many airports throughout Europe. Trains come from most major cities elsewhere in France. The missionaries will be able to suggest accommodation possibilities in the area.
For those going by car, the meeting place is easiest found from the ring road (périphérique) exiting at Porte de Rennes and following direction Orvault-Grand Val and then Nantes Centre. This leads to route de Rennes. After crossed the tramway continue straight for a further 800yds and the meeting place is on the right at the corner with rue de Reynière.
Take a gap year/career break to work or study in Nantes
There are many international students who go to Nantes to study, many of whom have little or no French. Others go as part of their university language studies. Whatever the reason, the Mission team is always delighted to welcome those who go with a desire to serve and be involved in the life of the fellowship. There are opportunities to be involved with most aspects of the work but especially with the work among students and the teenagers in the church.
Opportunities are not just limited to students. If someone is willing to be flexible in terms of their work and willing to make an effort to learn enough of the language to get by, then there is a place for them in Nantes. If you would like to investigate the possibility of moving to Nantes to be involved with the fellowship there, contact any of the missionaries.
Continue to support the mission financially
As with all missionary situations, the work in Nantes is maintained thanks to the generous, sacrificial giving of God's people throughout the world. This generosity is gratefully acknowledged by the mission team and fellowship in Nantes. Most giving takes place within the context of local congregations but it is also possible for individuals to make contributions directly to the Mission Committee treasurer William McCollum or directly to the fellowship in Nantes through one of the missionaries.

Dying your hair in unnatural colors is very exciting. Most women toy with the idea in their minds. Thinking it would be cool to dye it blue for a couple weeks, and walk into the night scene looking like they want to do more then have a causal drink tonight. However, there is a fear we women have that comes in our minds also. Will those colourful chemicals cause hair structure damage? Its true, any sort of artificial hair coloring chemical can cause your hair to be weaker and more likely to fall out. But, there is a way to make what I just said reverse. Companies have currently developed the best shampoo for colored hair. It won't cause your hair problems like previous shampoos because it is made with natural ingredients. Below we have more tips for you if you want to know more about maintaining colored hair.
Prepare Your Hair for the Procedure
Preparing for your colored hair experience requires you to do some things in advance. These are things that are not too difficult but must be followed to get the full effect. Many months in advance, make sure your hair is well nourished and hydrated. That hair needs to be cleaned out, sorted out, flaked free, and washed. Avoid heating your hair up as well. Heat can make hair strands weak and fragile. You will notice something missing form your head if you use heat straighteners or anything that makes your hair very hot. If you plan to bleach your hair to get a color, I suggest you apply cold-pressed coconut oil the day before you bleach it. Applying the oil the night before can reduce shaft damage you may receive when bleaching hair.
Choose the Right Dye for Colored Hair
When you choose a dye for your head, its important to pick a good dye and bleach so your hair doesn't get too messed up. By saying messed up I am sure you will take what I say serious. Lifting your hair color with bleach means you should have the right developer to do it. Not doing this, can lead to you burning your blonde, hair because you thought using 40 volume developer was a good idea. The volume size of the developer you use to change hair color matters. If you don't know what volume you need, please call the nearest hair salon store and find out. One more thing, the dye you use for colored hair must be free from harsh chemicals. They tend to damage you hair. Make sure you read that hair dye label.
Wait a Little While and Then Use Colored Shampoo
Don't be so quick to wash your dyed hair, because the hair needs to set in and minimize color bleeding. The hair just got dyed. It needs time to get use to the new look and adapt to the colorful chemical change. Colorful shampoo can give your hair added protection. Using the best shampoo for colored hair can give your hair very high outside defense protection and clean designed for colored hair. I highly recommend you use colored shampoos to was your colored hair even if you can't afford it. Regular shampoo tends to make the dye in your hair fall out. You hair will be there but not the color.

Your Guide to Upcoming Smartphone Features
With many new smartphones already breaking the bank on super-fast processors and ultra crisp displays, manufacturers are racing to find new features that will sell you on buying your next smartphone from them. We have a no-nonsense guide to five new features that you may be seeing on your future gadgets, and why they could be game changers.
For manufacturers always looking to make their phones tougher and reduce breakage, the screen is one of the biggest concerns. The recent boom in Corning's Gorilla Glass, two to three times more durable than regular hardened glass, has made large screen smartphones practical with a lot less breakage. And at three times harder than Gorilla Glass, sapphire glass is likely to start making an appearance soon. Unlike Gorilla Glass, the name sapphire glass isn't a marketing term: it is, very literally, made out of synthetic sapphire. One of the hardest substances in existence, sapphire is nearly as hard as diamond, making it virtually impossible to scratch or break. It's so tough, it's used for bulletproof windows on military vehicles, and other niches where "transparent armor" is needed.
Sapphire glass is already being used on some smartphones: the iPhone 5 has a tiny panel of it protecting the camera lens. Apple and other manufacturers are reportedly considering a wholesale switch to sapphire–at least on high end phones. The great drawback of sapphire glass is, at least right now, its cost. At ten times the price of Gorilla Glass, a touchscreen made entirely of sapphire could singlehandedly add $30 to the cost of building a smartphone. But manufacturers may get around this by using a thin layer of sapphire glass over regular glass, and as demand for it increases prices are likely to drop. Motorola could be the first to the punch; their much-anticipated "X Phone" project is rumored to have a sapphire glass touchscreen.
Of course, sapphire glass isn't the only new technology being brought to smartphone screens. When you initially hear about "flexible displays," it's easy to imagine a gadget out of a sci-fi movie, where you can roll up or fold a computer screen. And while that may be possible someday, new devices are implementing flexible display technology for a much different and more pragmatic reason. Traditional smartphone screens are mostly made of thin glass, making them susceptible to breaking through falls or sharp impacts, even if the thicker, tougher glass of the touchscreen isn't hurt.
A flexible screen on the other hand, based on plastic or something similar, would be able to bend instead of break, making it–if not indestructible–at least much more durable than any non-flexible screen. Samsung and LG are both planning to release smartphones with flexible displays by the end of the year, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 possibly being the first smartphone to feature one.
Beyond strengthening the screen, smartphones are getting tougher in other ways. One of these is improving the strength of the phone's "skin" through new materials. Motorola has already started adding kevlar fiber to their Droid RAZR line, and is supposedly taking the next step with the X Phone by offering a skin made of carbon fiber, a material long used in aircraft and high end cars for its combination of light weight and high strength, creating "plastic" parts that are much more durable than conventional ones. Some third-party smartphone cases have been made from carbon fiber, but manufacturers are only now starting to seriously look at it for the devices themselves.
But besides broken screens, one of the biggest enemies of a smartphone is water, whether that's getting rained on or accidentally dropped in the sink…which is why the next generation of high end smartphones may well be waterproof. By sealing the device internally using rubber and other materials, manufacturers can guarantee their devices to be protected against submersion under up to 5 feet of water for 30 minutes. "Rugged" devices that have featured this in the past had less attractive specs than most smartphones, making them a niche thing for people like construction workers and surveyors who needed the extra protection, but that's about to change. Samsung is already working on a rugged, and presumably waterproof, version of their Galaxy S4 flagship, and Sony is reportedly also hard at work on a waterproof Xperia ZR high end smartphone.

Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos has listed 362 witnesses in his preliminary conference brief filed at the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) to bolster his claim of victory in the May 2016 vice-presidential race. Marcos' proposed witnesses include election officers, Smartmatic-Total Information Management (Smartmatic-TIM) personnel, and individuals who would testify on "electoral fraud, anomalies and irregularities" that allegedly swung results to favor the declared winner, Vice President Leni Robredo. Marcos, through counsel, submitted on Friday his 96-page brief to the Supreme Court, sitting as the PET, ahead of the July 11 preliminary conference. The proceedings are intended to limit the scope and issues of the poll protest case, and identify which witnesses may testify. Marcos' list of witnesses include Commission on Elections (Comelec) officers and local officers to identify and authenticate, among others, the paper ballots and/or ballot images, voter's receipts, election returns, audit logs, transmission logs, lists of voters and voting records, books of voters, and other relevant poll documents and paraphernalia. Some witnesses were proposed to testify "that Smartmatic personnel introduced a new program into the Transparency Server while transmission of results was going on, without explicit knowledge, much less explicit consent of the COMELEC En Banc nor by any of its commissioners. Some others were identified to testify "on the existence and operation of an intermediary/queue server during the 2016 Elections;" "that the existence and operation of an intermediary/queue server was concealed from the voting public, all the candidates and political parties;" "that the said intermediary/queue server and the program that was used to run it were not subjected to any source code review;" "that all transmissions from the [vote counting machines] and to and from the different [central canvassing system] machines were all coursed through the intermediary/queue server;" and "[t]o testify that the AES (automated election system) supplied by Smartmatic was a vulnerable system." Several of Marcos' proposed witnesses were also identified "[t]o testify on the widespread presence of terrorism, violence, threats, coercion, force, intimidation, the proliferation and batch-feeding of pre-shaded ballots and the massive substitution of voters" in several provinces. On top of the listed witnesses, Marcos' camp said it would like to reserve the presentation of "handwriting, technology, and other technical experts, and forensic investigators to testify on the result of the technical examination and forensic investigation" of various election documents, equipment and storage devices from 2,756 protested clustered precincts in Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao and Basilan. These include "paper ballots and/or the ballot images, voter's receipts, election returns (ERs), audit logs, transmission logs, the lists of voters, particularly the Election Day Computerized Voter's List (EDCVL), and voters registration records (VRRs), the books of voters and other pertinent election documents and/or paraphernalia used in the elections, as well as the automated election equipment and records such as the Vote Counting Machines (VCMs), Consolidation and Canvass System (CCS) units, Secure Digital (SD) cards (main and back up), and the other data storage devices containing electronic data and ballot images." Some of the listed witnesses may be considered "hostile witnesses," according to Marcos' spokesman Vic Rodriguez. It would be up to the PET to approve in full or in part Marcos' proposed list. PET PROCEEDINGS SHOULD BE EXPEDITED The margin of votes between Robredo and Marcos was a mere 263,473 votes, making it the tightest vice-presidential contest in recent history. Marcos' protest covers 36,465 clustered precincts in Cebu province, Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu City, Leyte, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Masbate, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte, Bukidnon, Iloilo province, Iloilo City, Bohol, Quezon province, Batangas, Western Samar, Misamis Oriental, Camarines Sur, 2nd District of Northern Samar, Palawan, Albay, Zamboanga Sibugay, Misamis Occidental, Pangasinan, Isabela, Bacolod City, and Zamboanga City. To expedite the proceedings, Marcos asked that an order be issued to direct the collection, retrieval, transport and delivery of all ballot boxes containing the ballots and other election paraphernalia, lists of voters, voters registration records, audit logs, transmission logs and files, and all other documents or paraphernalia used in the polls. He also urged the creation of recount/revision committees for the manual counts and judicial revision of the paper ballots and/or ballot images, as well as an examination, verification, and analysis of the voter's receipts, ERs, audit logs, transmission logs, the lists of voters, particularly the EDCVL, and VRRs, the books of voters and other pertinent election documents and/or paraphernalia used in the elections, as well as the automated election equipment and records such as the VCMs, CCS units, SD cards (main and back up), and the other data storage devices containing electronic data and ballot images in all 36,465 protested clustered precincts. Marcos asked the PET to grant his motion for the immediate decryption and printing of the ballot images from the relevant SD cards and/or other data storage devices in each of the protested precincts. PET CONSTITUTES PANEL OF 3 HEARING COMMISSIONERS In a resolution issued on June 6 and released to the media only on Friday, the PET ordered the creation of a panel of three hearing commissioners under its control and supervision "to aid the tribunal in the just and expeditious disposition" of Marcos' protest and Robredo's counter-protest. The appointed commissioners are retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Jose Vitug, chairperson; and lawyers Angelito C. Imperio and Irene Ragodon-Guevarra, members. "The commissioners shall decide unanimously to every extent possible, provided that in the event of failure to reach a unanimous decision, the majority decision shall prevail," the resolution read. The chairperson will receive P15,000 per day of hearing and/or service while the members will receive P10,000 per day of hearing and/or service.

Over 17 million chickens have died in India as a result of the country's heat wave, and chicken meat prices have soared as a consequence.
May and June are India's hottest months, but temperatures this year have been above average in some parts of the country, and the cooling monsoon rains are late.
A mortality rate of 2-3 percent in poultry flocks is not unusual during India's summer months, however it rose to 10 percent during May. At least 17 million birds are thought to have died during the month, while chicken prices rose by 35 percent.
The number of human deaths attributed to the heat wave has been widely reported, however its impact on agriculture has been less widely discussed. The heat is not only negatively impacting the country's poultry producers, but also its feed producers, who have seen demand fall as a result of the difficulties experienced by broiler producers.
"In the last two-to-three weeks, poultry feed demand has fallen by nearly 30 percent," K V Krishan Charan, general manager of feed producer Komaral Feeds and Food Pvt Ltd, told Reuters.
Locally imposed bans on beef consumption have also helped to push up the price of chicken, reversing a drop in response to fears over avian influenza which saw prices drop below production cost.
Temperatures are expected to continue rising in June, and the death of more broilers is predicted.

4 Safety Tips to Read Before Using an Electric Skateboard
Skateboarding has become one of the most popular hobbies out there. In fact, statistics show that nearly 11 million people use skateboards on a regular basis. That being said, newer innovations in the world of skateboarding have made this hobby more fun that it has ever been. In fact, there are nearly 500 skateboarding parks currently located within the United States. That being said, many people have chosen to skate electric rather than using a traditional board. It's understandable to want to learn how to safely operate an electric powered skateboard. With that in mind, here are four safety tips to read before using an electric skateboard for the first time.
Skateboarding Meet Your New Innovation
While skateboarding has once been seen as a counter-culture or "punk"-like activity well-associated with Green Day music, skateboarding has long since moved into the mainstream's consciousness, with competitions being shown on ESPN and other sports networks, to show the prowess of the sport of skateboarding.
While it may seem like skateboarding is an activity that poses less of a challenge than other sports, skateboarding requires skill. The ability to balance on a board, to shift weight according to different pathways in the skateboarding parks, the ability to "grind" on a rail or do an "Ollie" all requires a great deal of skill and athletic prowess.
The 'X' games, which is a popular counter-culture sporting event (counter-culture accepted, the meaning being), showcases skateboarders as a

People just can't stop eating perfectly crisp bacon. The deadliest partner: a little sugar on top. Caramelized brown sugar is a great partner for crispy bacon in these simple recipes:
Hungry Celeste puts bacon in a single layer on a sheet pan, sprinkles with dark brown sugar and finely chopped pecans, and broils until the bacon is crisp the sugar is caramelized.
JasmineG bakes bacon for 15 minutes; then turns it over, sprinkles with a mixture of of brown sugar and cayenne, and bakes for 15 minutes more, or until done.
Kater makes an appetizer of water chestnuts wrapped in candied bacon; it's incredibly popular with her guests. Coat bacon in a rub of brown sugar, ground mustard, ground chipotle pepper, cumin, black pepper, and onion powder. Wrap a strip of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Line a baking sheet with foil, place a rack on the pan, and put the bacon-wrapped chestnuts on the rack; bake at 375F until bacon is cooked and crispy.

Humanitarian action – Meeting of the Humanitarian Consultation Group (March 15 2017)
Jean-Marc Ayrault, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, will chair, on March 15 at the Quai d'Orsay, the first 2017 meeting of the Humanitarian Consultation Group devoted to evaluating and reviewing our humanitarian strategy.
The Humanitarian Consultation Group was established in 2013 in the context of France's first "humanitarian strategy" (2012-2017); it is a forum for exchange and dialogue between the ministry and representatives of the main French NGOs, coordinated by the ministry's crisis and support center.
The goal of the discussions is to initiate the process of developing the new humanitarian strategy to be presented at the next national humanitarian conference in 2018.

Financial Treatment of Assets Given to a Business
When someone gives an asset to a business, it is known as donating an asset. Under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), a company must record these assets on financial statements. There is a difference when recording the asset as a for-profit business or a not-for-profit business.
Accounting Valuation of Donated Assets
In general, when someone donates property to a business, the business must record the property at its fair market value.
For-Profit Accounting--Journal Entry
When receiving the donation of an asset, the company should record the donation as a debit to "Fixed Asset" and a credit to "Contribution Revenue." This records the asset on the company's books and also records revenue from receiving the donation.
Not-for-Profit Accounting--Donated Collections
At times a not-for-profit will receive a donation classified as a collection. A collection is anything the nonprofit can use to display, such as historical artifacts, books and paintings. The nonprofit does not need to record the donated collection if it meets certain factors. These factors are: the collection needs to be for viewing, exhibition, education or research; the nonprofit must care for the collection by preserving the collection from damage; and the nonprofit must have an internal policy that if the collection is sold, then the nonprofit will use any income from the sale to buy more items for the collection. When these are not met, the company will record the asset on the books.
Non-For-Profit Accounting--Journal Entries
When recording journal entries, it is important to determine if the donated asset just passes from the organization to another person, such as donating clothes to the Goodwill, which pass to whoever receives the clothes from the goodwill. If this amount is not substantial, then the asset is not recorded; if the donation is substantial then the company records the assets. Substantial means it will have a meaningful impact on the financial statement. If the asset passes as such and is substantial, then debit "Expense" and credit "Unrestricted Contributions." If someone donates a substantial amount but the asset is not passed to another person, then record the donation by debiting "Assets" and crediting "Contributions." If the company sells the donated asset above its fair market value, then the amount over the fair market value is revenue. For example, a nonprofit auctions off a trip to Hawaii that has a fair value of $10,000. The trip auctions for $15,000. The $5,000 difference is revenue.
When an asset is donated, the company must still depreciate the asset just like any other asset. The company should use the depreciation method they normally use for their other assets. The most common depreciation methods are straight-line depreciation, double-declining balance depreciation and sum of years digits depreciation.

Water is Life Mural Complete
Strathfield Youths Fight Graffiti with Art
Students from Strathfield South High School have created murals along fencing along Liverpool Road at Hedges Avenue in Strathfield South. This spot has been notorious with graffitists in the past and it is hoped the new art will work as a deterrent, with graffitists less likely to write over someone else's work.
The community initiative is a collaboration between Strathfield Council, Sydney Water, Australian Catholic University and Strathfield South High School, with the aim to improve our community.
The artworks have been created by students, some of whom have family memories of refugee camps or lack of access to fresh, clean water on tap. This work is a reflection of their experiences and deep understanding of the need of water for humans to prosper. This is a fantastic way for these young people to contribute to their new community.
"My Dad is from Nigeria" said 14 year old Crystal "and he has often told us about having to boil water before being able to drink it. We need to be grateful for having a safe, plentiful supply of water on tap" she said.
Baran, whose parents are from Turkey recalls his mother telling him about the women in his mother's family having to collect water from a central supply in their village. He participated in this project to encourage people to minimise the waste of water and value this incredible resource.
Lara, whose family is from Lebanon and Syria wanted us all to make better choices in regard to an essential resource so that we can ensure supply for future generations.
Thank you to Australian Catholic University work placement students for their support; Sydney Water for the use of the land and of course the students for their creativity and work.
Graffiti is a common, unsightly and expensive problem in our area and others. Council applauds the project team and all our partners for finding such a creative way to combat this issue.

Five years ago I released a book. On Song looked at 30 of the best New Zealand songs, 30 of my favourites. We started with a long list of at least 100 songs and whittled and whittled. I say 'we' – I am referring to the publisher, Penguin. And me. I was commissioned to write the book – a cold-call; would I be interested? Yeah, sure! I wanted to have a go at writing a book and it was a subject I was passionate about – songs. Music. New Zealand songs. Kiwi music. Time to shine the light on a few favourites. There have been plenty of books about favourite albums and behind-the-scenes looks at songs and songwriting. I would write one more.
And I did.
I signed on to write the book – took a small advance, used it to book some flights to Auckland to do some interviews. And carried on with life and my other jobs.
Over the course of a year I did 'research'. The list of songs got moved around and rewritten. I wanted to include plenty of women – as well as men. Maori and Pacific artists. Hip-hop had to be in there, not just pop songs. Not just rock songs. It was to be a modern list – so it's mostly 80s and 90s songs, a few from the seventies, a couple from the sixties, some from the early 00s too. I wanted to give a good nod to Flying Nun and "The Dunedin Sound" – I wanted to revisit some of the glaringly obvious choices (Don't Dream It's Over) but I wanted to include some personal favourites, some slightly 'oddball' choices perhaps (The Beautiful Young Crew).
A list has to intrigue, at least on some level.
The aim was to talk about songwriting and songwriters. To talk about songs – to talk about New Zealand.
As the deadline for the first draft started to peek around the corner our child, Oscar, was born.
I hadn't written a word of the book when Oscar arrived into the world. On that day in the hospital Jordan Luck called to congratulate me on becoming a father. I had met him only a month or so earlier and we had talked for the book and bonded over music – not just his. Almost all music…
Katy and Oscar stayed in the hospital for a week. I visited every day, all day, then returned home to work at night – carrying on with reviews and the daily blog and trying to work out how I was going to write a book. And why the hell had I not started it months ago? I had 'started' it – I'd done many of the interviews, I'd played the music over and again, I was making notes, I was keeping a lot of things in my head. I was working full-time around all of this too.
But on a Saturday morning in early November, in 2011, I sat down to write the first words of On Song.
I had Don't Dream It's Over on repeat, I listened to it 20 times or so. The brand new baby being rocked to sleep by my big toe as I balanced a laptop on my knees, sitting on the floor, tapping away at the very first chapter.
It took an hour or so – maybe closer to two – but I had the book's first chapter.
I celebrated by taking the rest of the weekend off.
And then I spent my second week of parental leave bonding with Katy and Oscar.
The deadline for the first draft was January 20.
Just before Christmas I knocked out another couple of chapters. And then over Christmas and New Years and the first two weeks of January I wrote most of the book. It was a busy time. I was at work during the day, I was reviewing gigs at night sometimes, I had a blog to jot down and post every week day. And somewhere in all of that I had a book to write. I was still doing some of the final interviews too.
I'd spend two hours on the phone with someone like Alistair Riddell – a scholar and a gent – and then I'd sit down and turn that conversation into a chapter about his glam-rock hit, Out on The Street. In fact, I remember this vividly, the exact order that day was: wake up, have breakfast, talk to Riddell, write a blog post about how god-awful Six60 is, write Space Waltz chapter, have lunch with friends…later that day I wrote another two chapters for the book. And my Twitter-feed exploded with angry Six60 fans taking out their poor education on me!
The deadline was extended – due to production reasons. But it suited me just fine. I had a few things to finish off. When I submitted the final draft, a couple of months on, I did two interviews on the last night and wrote four complete chapters. It was an all-nighter, a photo-finish. But I had done it.
Proof-reading and edits, suggested changes, and all the usual things…
And then in late October of 2012 the book was launched.
We had some speeches and a wee party and signing at Slow Boat Records. I had to pay for the books myself – the publisher refused to put on a launch, or even contribute to it. So I organised a venue, bought some booze, and begged my dad to put a credit card number down for $2000 worth of books on a sale-or-return basis (but the card had to be charged first before they'd release the books from Australia).
You're an author now. And part of being an author is having a launch. It's expected. Not all launches go that way – some publishers do pay for them. But mine did not. So, we soldiered on. We found a way.
The books all sold. So that was a relief.
The next day – after just a few drinks in celebration – I was interviewed by Kim Hill.
And later I was interviewed by other radio stations, for a few magazines and sites and newspapers. And then on TV a couple of times. The reviews started to trickle out. I did a couple of 'talks' – a Q&A-type thing at Unity Books to a lunchtime crowd. Some journalists relished the chance to get their digs in – a couple of stink reviews but mostly positive. (An annoying photo-shoot for The Listener where 90 minutes was wasted and the end result was one of the first photos taken. Worse than that the accompanying article was some weird not-quite-beat-up that talked about me and some of the harsh reviews I'd written but barely mentioned the book, or its positive angle, masking it somewhere in a line about it being a commissioned piece; suggesting it wasn't written with any heart, that it hadn't come from my heart, from 30+ years of being obsessed with many of the songs and artists in the book. The interview for that article took a couple of hours, I was reduced down to just a few pointless lines. Ah well, that's how it is sometimes…)
A couple of weeks after the release of the book it was Oscar's first birthday.
On Song won a design award. (Well deserved too, Alan Deare is a genius – I met him a couple of years down the track at a Princess Chelsea gig and got to thank him and congratulate him).
I made no money from the book. I still get royalty statements telling me I'm in the negative. I technically owe the publisher. (You could say). This is pretty standard.
The book sold quite a few copies, particularly since it was an expensive book ($65 I think?)
A couple of years on you could buy it from The Warehouse for $20. Or $10 even. I bought a couple…
There were a few questions around a second volume, or any sort of second book from me. I didn't think a second volume would go very well – so wasn't too interested in that. Though there are plenty of great songs to feature, but you know, diminishing returns and all that (I mean in terms of general interest/sales…)
I took a meeting with the publisher to briefly discuss a second book – not in any way related to On Song. We both came away from that realising that I really didn't have a good idea for a second book. It was too vague. And would have sold worse than a second volume of On Song.
It was an interesting experience writing a book. Squeezing it out. Squeezing it into my life for a year there. Writing at 5am or 1am or 6pm or 12pm. Taking phone calls during the lunch hour of my 'real job'. Stopping mid-chapter to finish writing the next day's blog. Stopping mid-chapter to change the baby's nappy or to sit up with him while his mother caught up on some sleep. It really did feel like the birth of two children. My son. And then the book. Forever linked, if only to me.
I met Dave Dobbyn and Graham Brazier, spoke on the phone with Annie Crummer and Shona Laing. I exchanged emails with plenty of people, there was a Skype or two and some lengthy Facebook chat sessions.
One time, I ran across the road from my work's office to Civic Square to talk to Mitchell Froom, Suzanne Vega's ex-husband, producer and arranger of many albums and movie soundtracks, member of The Latin Playboys. And, in the context of that conversation, the man that produced the first Crowded House album and played the gorgeous organ solo on Don't Dream It's Over.
Jan Hellriegel made me dinner. Jordan Luck bought me beers. Phil Judd spoke to me on the phone. Tim Finn refused to speak to me on the phone.
It was an interesting time. A fascinating experiment.
And then it just disappeared. Into the bargain bins. Sometimes I see it in the background of photos – its bright orange cover a beacon. I've been tagged in photos on Facebook, reviewed on Goodreads, private-messaged from time to time.
I don't regret writing it. Of course. It was a good thing to do and I reckon, as far as first books go, I did an okay job.
For the most part I enjoyed being interviewed and reviewed, just in a boot-on-the-other-foot way.
Radio NZ serialised it – I sat in a tiny studio with Noelle McCarthy on a Saturday morning and we talked about every single chapter of the book across some three hours. They chopped them up into 5-10 minute episodes and shared them out daily over the summer programming.
The publisher needed convincing that this would be worth it, they didn't want to pay for a flight. When we organised an appearance on Good Morning as well they agreed and shouted me returns Jestar tickets.
Phantom Billstickers generously created a street-poster campaign.
I shilled for that book for as long as I could. I stood behind it. Proud of it.
And then it ran its course. Did its time. Disappeared. And it all started to feel like hard work for really not much at all. For pretty much nothing. I'm used to that in a lot of the work I do.
In the Wellington City Library, which was Oscar's second home during his toddler years, we'd sometimes see that bright orange spine jutting out from the shelf.
"Look Daddy", three-year-old Osc would say. "You wrote that book! You did that one. That's your book!"

Coach Paul Greer of the San Diego Track Club has been helping runners train for the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon & 1/2 for 20 years running! In this series, we'll feature tips, workouts and programs, courtesy of Coach, that will help you conquer your first or 100th marathon!
Body composition is a question of energy balance, which means calories consumed must equal calories burned to maintain weight. The rate of expenditure of energy can vary from person to person. We expend energy not only during exercise but during every second of our lives. These seconds add up to years, just as a few extra calories a day can add up to extra pounds of body fat. For this reason, metabolic rate is an important factor in the energy balance equation.
By definition, metabolic rate is how fast your body uses and produces energy, which is the rate it burns calories. Metabolic rate is highest during intense exercise and lowest when you are sleeping. It varies with size, age, heredity, body composition, activity level, and food intake and weight loss history.
During exercise, metabolic rate can be more than 10 times higher than resting levels. Thirty minutes of vigorous exercise can burn the same number of calories as five hours of sitting at a desk. For example, extra calories are burned when you climb a flight of stairs instead of taking the elevator. Small amounts of exercise can add up to a significant effect on metabolic rate throughout the day. Metabolic rate may also remain elevated for several hours if you have worked out consistently at 60 – 80 percent of aerobic capacity for more than 30 to 40 minutes.
One of the best things exercise can do is increase the amount of muscle you have. Since muscle is metabolically more active than fat, the greater your lean body mass, the higher your metabolic rate. Exercise greatly enhances weight-loss efforts because of its tremendous physiological and psychological benefits. Therefore, exercise helps burn fat. It decreases appetite. It also makes you feel more energetic and look better.
Decrease in metabolic rate that occurs with age is due to a decrease in activity and a loss of muscle from lack of exercise. Simply stated, metabolic rate slows down in people who slow down. It's important to continue exercising for its long-term effects on metabolism and health.

Thankful Thursday
Today, I am thankful just to have survived two days in a row with eight children under the age of seven in my home. The days were far from bad ones – just a little noisier and a lot more chaotic in general.
I'm thankful for the sweet burden of prayer one precious little boy has laid on my heart over the last couple of days. A genuine prayer, stemming from compassion and hope, for a prodigal to return.
I'm thankful for the innocence and bright-eyed joy that has filled my home.
I'm thankful for new little readers, and the confidence I see growing in them, one word at a time.
I am thankful for midwives, and the work they do.
I am thankful for the doulas I am getting to know more and more. Such incredible women.
I'm thankful for how easy homemade mac n' cheese is to make in big batches.
I'm thankful for the gorgeous green of lightly steamed peas.
I'm thankful for my camera.
I'm thankful for all the snot, spit-up, dirt, and miscellaneous food on my shirt. It just means I've been loved on and needed by lots of little ones. Who cares if the house went to crap yesterday and today? I really did try to keep up. Not possible, though.
I'm thankful for the light praise station playing really calming, quiet music at this time of night, which encourages these three little sparrows to wait a little more patiently for their Daddy to come get them.
I'm thankful my calendar was clear, since their momma got stuck in New York while she was there on business. It means I get to be a blessing to a very dear friend, whose children are very special kiddos in my life.
I'm thankful for YOU, who keep coming back, despite my inconsistent writing habits. You are lovely folks. 🙂
Visit Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage if you would like to participate this month.
What are you thankful for this week?

Last Thursday the House Committee on Financial Services unanimously passed H.R. 5749, the Options Markets Stability Act. The legislation authored by U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren (IL-14) would facilitate liquidity in options markets by calling on bank regulators to provide targeted capital relief.
Illinois is the birthplace and home of listed options markets. Healthy options markets provide ample opportunity for investors to plan for the future and hedge risk. The market volatility seen in equity markets earlier this year exposed the extent to which existing rules are restricting liquidity when it is needed the most. Unfortunately, market-makers who provide liquidity for listed options are indirectly constrained by bank capital rules from fulfilling their role in maintaining price stability, leading to less liquidity and higher costs for investors who want to hedge risk, said Rep. Hultgren. Investors do not have the luxury of waiting any longer on our bank regulators to act. I sponsored the Options Markets Stability Act so investors can manage risk in volatile markets at a lower cost. I thank the Financial Services Committee for its support and look forward to the full House taking up this legislation soon.
H.R. 5749, as amended, requires federal bank regulators to establish a methodology for calculating the counterparty credit risk exposure, at default, of a financial institution pursuant to the risk-based and leveraged-based capital rules. The legislation provides 360 days for the federal banking regulators to adopt a rule. It also requires them to consider a number of items including the availability of liquidity, the economic value of delta weighting and netting of positions, safety and soundness of financial institutions and overall financial stability. The legislation also requires the Federal Reserve to submit a report to Congress assessing the impact of their final rule.
The legislation is consistent with the U.S. Treasury Departments October 2017 Report on Capital Markets which recommends, that regulators properly balance the post-crisis goal of moving more derivatives into central clearing with appropriately tailored and targeted capital requirements.
As a member of the House Committee on Financial Services, Rep. Hultgren serves as the Vice-Chair of the Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Securities, and Investment, and is also a member of the Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance.

Directions0/0 steps made
- Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet or dutch oven. Drain the excess fat and transfer back to the dutch oven or a stockpot.
- The next part is super easy – just some open cans! Here's where you can easily make changes. Don't like a particular bean, choose another. Next time I'll probably swap out the second can of pinto beans for black beans. Want it a little hotter, use tomatoes with jalapenos. I did rinse my beans to remove some of the starch and I added some beer to replace the lost liquid and give it a robust flavor. Don't want to use beer? Consider beef broth, V8 juice or just plain water.
- Simmer covered over low heat for a couple of hours. You can also cook this in a large slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours. The aroma will have you taking random taste tests!
- When it's ready place some corn chips for crunch or corn bread in each bowl and ladle the soup over them.
- over them. Serve with an assortment of toppings to choose from for individual tastes.

If you haven't noticed, I'm pretty into these three ingredient pancakes (1 banana, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup oats). Strangely enough I've never really been a pancake kind of person, I'm more of a french toast girl :)
But hey, anyway to disguise protein, fruit and my beloved oats into a killer breakfast, makes me happy. If you haven't tried these yet you're seriously missing out!
Top with all the good stuff- strawberries, peanut butter, coconut and syrup.
Hey, maybe I'll be having this again tomorrow morning :)
