About this genus:
Fuchsia (few-che-a) is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees. There are over 110 recognized species. The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) about 1696 by the French monk and botanist, Charles Plumier during his third expedition to the Greater Antilles. He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
The Fuchsias we grow and sell are perennial and hardy - they are all growing away in our own garden. They are easy to grow once they are established - they will take almost any situation or soil that isn't too extreme. They provide continual flowers from July until late autumn, when the first frosts arrive. They come into their own in autumn because they enjoy cooler temperatures and shorter days. The Autumn light also enhances the rich mixture of pinks, reds, peaches and whites in the garden. Eventually most will die back for the winter - usually when a hard frost kills the upper part of the plant, however they will start growing from the base again when the next spring comes!
Fuchsias are versatile plants - although not native they have naturalized in many parts of this world, for instance along the beautiful Antrim Coast. They can often been seen growing wild. It is for this reason that I like them poking in and around hedges for a natural look. However the common use is as stand alone specimen plant - it is really up to you!

A country known worldwide for its pressurised work environment and unspoken requirement for long hours, Japan has passed a work reform bill aimed at changing that reputation.
The bill, enacted by the Diet on 29 June 2018, takes aim at Japan's "work styles" with regulations limiting overtime hours and raising the income of temporary and part-time workers. It sees eight labour-related laws revised despite some resistance in the Diet; opposition parties maintain the bill could lead to more suffering in some employee populations, including instances of "karoshi", or death by overwork. "Karoshi" involves employees committing suicide or suffering from heart failure and stroke because of long work hours.
The government pushed the reform in the wake of an increasingly elderly population which has resulted in a dwindling workforce. The labour force participation rate in Japan is expected to fall to about 50% by 2065. Munetomo Ando, a professor of economics at Nihon University, told Nikkei's Asian Review the government is trying to encourage people to join the workforce and so needs to ensure companies are flexible enough to employ people from diverse backgrounds and age groups.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was quoted as saying the legislation "has been enacted to allow people to have different work styles, including while raising children or caring for the elderly". He views the legislation as the most important agenda item during the current Diet session, and believes the law changes will increase productivity to make Japanese businesses more competitive globally.
The legislation consists of three key pillar:
- setting a legal cap on overtime work
- ensuring "equal pay for equal work" for regular and non-regular workers
- exempting skilled professional workers with high wages from the regulations
The legal overtime cap
The current labour law allows a company to remove the upper limit on overtime if the company and the labour union (or the representative of the employees) agree on a special clause.
However, under the new law, even if the company and the labour union (or the representative of the employees) agree on the special clause for the upper limit on overtime, the overtime must be within 720 hours for a year, which is a monthly average 60 hours, with a single-month maximum overtime of 100 hours.
The cap will come into force for most companies in April 2019, with smaller firms following one year later. It's the first time violation of mandatory caps will be penalised since the Labor Standards Act went into effect in 1947.
Equal pay for equal work
The difference in treatment of contractors, part-time and "non-regular" workers in Japan has long been a source of contention. A 2013 amendment to the labour contract law stipulated there should be no "irrational disparities" in the conditions of regular full-time employees and people on irregular contracts such as part-timers, contract workers and temporary dispatch staff.
Irregular workers are said to be paid roughly 60% of full-timers in terms of hourly wages; in Europe, the norm is around 80%. Given these workers account for nearly 40% of the Japanese workforce, closing the gap was an important task.
The principle rules of "equal pay for equal work" include:
- a basic salary should be same between regular workers and irregular ones as long as the length of their services, their capabilities and their outputs are same level
- transportation cost should be equally paid between them
- for those who work late at night or on holiday, the overtime payment ratio should be equal.
Exempting skilled workers
Dubbed the "white collar overtime exemption", this pillar has been a major source of contention, but it didn't stop the bill passing. The exemption applies to those with annual incomes of more than 10.75 million yen (US$97,500), including roles such as product developers, financial traders, consultants and researchers.
Opposition parties and labour unions had criticised this as a "zero overtime pay" scheme, and some business lobbies are encouraging firms to give these professionals 104 days off from work a year.
As a way to ease opposition fears, a provision was added to the bill allowing white-collar workers to give up the exemption status if they wanted to.
What does this mean for your business in Japan?
This is a legally-binding act of government, and businesses ignore it at their peril. Clearly with a cap on overtime hours, managing the time of employees becomes imperative. It's recommended managers keep a close eye on time employees spend working, perhaps introducing time tracking software if it's not already used.
Anyone employing irregular workers will also need to look closely at the packages offered to employees. It's important to note the "equal pay for equal work" pillar includes payment in terms of, benefits, not just regular salary.

Last night, we reported that two teams are interested in free-agent safety Darren Sharper, beyond the team with which he played in 2009.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the two teams are the Jaguars and the Cowboys.
Per Schefter, Sharper will visit the Jaguars today. If he doesn't do a deal with Jacksonville, Dallas could be the next destination.
Neither team added a safety via the draft. With the Cowboys hoping to overcome the Saints and play in the Super Bowl that will be hosted in their home stadium next February, Sharper would bring both ability and an intimate knowledge of the New Orleans offense and defense.
Though the Cowboys fall within the scope of the "Final Eight Plan," they don't face the same restrictions as the teams that qualified for conference title games.

The Science of Cryoembedding for High-Quality Frozen Sections
The Science of Cryoembedding for High-Quality Frozen Sections
PrestoCHILL reduces freezing time to 60 seconds and eliminates freezing artifacts through ultrafast freezing, preventing the formation of ice crystals. Cut fatty tissues, like breast or lymph nodes, can be frozen without difficulty and without the distortion of their delicate honeycomb structures.
While using Milestone's patented "face-down" embedding technique and PrestoCHILL, it is possible to obtain perfectly "flat plane" surfaces to reduce trimming time and cut more easily.
MCC is a proprietary formulation of glycols and resins specifically developed for optimal support during cryotomy of dissected tissues down to -40°C.
Being water soluble, MCC doesn't leave residue on the slides, eliminating non specific background staining. Additionally, MCC will not dull microtome knives.

Introducing the Hansen sweet potato™ – the secret behind the market's best carmine alternative
Press release • Feb 19, 2019 07:00 UTC
Chr. Hansen's decade-long breeding program results in a new and unique sweet potato that is the raw material creating vibrant alternatives to carmine and synthetic reds
What happens when colors from natural sources are not enough to satisfy discerning consumers? You develop a new source.
Chr. Hansen has commercialized a new vegetable variety – the Hansen sweet potato™ Ipomoea batatas – using traditional breeding methods to create the long-sought after vibrant, natural red alternative to carmine.
"For the first time, we've created a whole new variety of vegetable to create the natural color our customers are asking for," says Jakob Dalmose Rasmussen, vice president, Commercial Development at Chr. Hansen Natural Colors.
"We call it the Hansen sweet potato™. Over 10 years ago, we discovered a promising pigment in a root vegetable's tuber, but the plant's pigment content was on the low side. We took this plant and embarked on a process of selective breeding using traditional, non-GMO methods. The result is a plant-based, brilliant red that gives our customers a natural alternative to carmine and synthetic colors," adds Dalmose Rasmussen.
It all starts with the right raw material
Chr. Hansen has a team of experienced experts to develop new and refined raw materials using selective breeding. To do it they collaborate with colleagues, growers and scientists around the world.
"It all starts with the right raw material. Our plant scientists spent years cultivating and selecting generation after generation of seedlings. We partnered with growers to learn the best ways to plant, nurture and harvest the Hansen sweet potato™. And we perfected methods of handling, transportation and extraction. The result is the Hansen sweet potato™ with its unique combination of high yield, brilliant color and high per-plant pigment load," explains Luc Ganivet, vice president, Innovation and Application at Chr. Hansen Natural Colors.
A bright red carmine alternative
The Hansen sweet potato™ is the basis for Chr. Hansen's recently launched FruitMax® line of bright-red solutions that solve some of the biggest challenges of previously available natural red colors.
"Strawberry red is a popular shade for food products – from cakes to confectionary to milkshakes. But until now it has been nearly impossible to make a fire-engine red color with no risk of off-taste without using carmine. And as consumers move towards vegetarian and vegan food choices, the need for a carmine alternative has become more pressing. Our new FruitMax® red juice concentrates are 100% plant based and provide a new solution to our customers looking to respond to this consumer trend," concludes Dalmose Rasmussen.
Chr. Hansen's new FruitMax™ Orange and recently launched FruitMax® reds are based on Hansen sweet potato™ blends, are minimally processed and meet the EU requirements for Coloring Foodstuffs.
Chr. Hansen is a leading, global bioscience company that develops natural ingredient solutions for the food, nutritional, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. We develop and produce cultures, enzymes, probiotics and natural colors for a rich variety of foods, confectionery, beverages, dietary supplements and even animal feed and plant protection.

I was very honoured to go to Gok's Clothes Show live, however, I was disappointed I couldn't make Pakistan Fashion Week in London.
The event was spectacular, Gok Wan managed to get everyone up on their feet clapping and cheering, it was a great turn-out.
The event started with sound checks and a lot of posing from Gok Wan. A couple of bloopers later, we got a glimpse of the three lucky girls who got pimped and pampered by Gok himself.
"They were very casual," said Gok, "they didn't look anything like this when I first met them." The three girls looked gorgeous, dressed in eclectic evening wear, it was hard to imagine any of the three in a plain top and jeans. After they strutted down the catwalk, the girls admitted they practically lived in casual clothing!
Finally we came to the fashion catwalk, which displayed Gok Wan's collection. "There's two outfits that look really similar, except one outfit cost £250 and the other only £50." The models strutted side by side, and I was left pondering which one was which! My hat goes off to Gok Wan, you really don't need a designer wardrobe to pull off a designer look.
After the inspiring fashion show, the audience voted for which collection they liked best, I couldn't choose! But in the end, the fantastic finale red dress pulled me in.
I loved the 70's take with pastel pink chiffon midi's, Twiggy inspired glasses and cropped dresses. The abundance of colour ranging from pale purple's to deep red's was fascinating. The use of different texture's was no less either.
I've had a brilliant weekend, I have much more upload however, exciting things are happening!
Love from,

Some more details have emerged about Italian media magnate and prime minister (mustn't forget that) Silvio Berlusconi and his antics in the so-called bunga bunga scandal.
Milan prosecutors want to charge him with paying for sex with nightclub dancer Karima El Mahroug (she's had a few names this girl), also known as Ruby Rubacuori, which roughly translates as 'rubies are good for you.'
Apparently the age of consent in Italy is 14 but you can't pay for somebody for it until they're 18 and Karima alias Ruby was 17 the first time she joined the bunga bunga club.
The Sunday Times reported today that Silvio's bunga bunga parties involved 20 or so gals entering a striptease contest, at which they were 'bare breasted' (no surprise there then) with the lucky winner invited to spend the rest of the evening with 74-year old Berlusconi. Some of the participants are said to be leading female politicians, many of whom began their rise to fame appearing on his TV shows.
At one of these Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin was reported as being present, doubtless trying to tie up a trade deal before Silvio got too distracted.
Karima says she was there but didn't, a fine distinction, at least in the eyes of the Milan prosecutors.
Berlusconi has always wriggled off the hook before in such scandals but then he had a working majority in the Italian Parliament which he hardly enjoys now as it's been reduced to single figures. Like a good media tycoon he's thinking of relaunching his own party as 'Italia', presumably on the very good grounds that Italians might find it difficult not to vote for their own country.
But what's this got to do with media and marketing?
Well Berlusconi controls most of the Italian media either through his private interests Mediaset (his own TV properties), Publitalia (a massive old-style publicity agency if not quite an ad agency) and Mondadori (magazines).
As prime minister he also controls the state-run TV channels.
Any diminution in his political power, let alone finding himself in an Italian nick, would mean that huge chunks of Italian media would suddenly come into play.
Rupert Murdoch's Sky Italia is already a big player in Italy although thwarted hitherto by Berlusconi's control of the pitch, the rulebook and the ball.
Private equity companies would queue up to buy chunks of the Berlusconi empire if Silvio found himself suddenly indisposed.
Well we'll see. But it does look like the old rascal is running out of friends and, therefore, time.

Inmates running the asylum Sure, it happened in the Netherlands, but I'll bet that some eager activist groups in the US are salivating over the prospect of filing similar charges here. Excerpt:

The Dutch animal protection agency demanded prosecution Tuesday for the shooting of a sparrow that knocked over 23,000 dominoes during an attempt to set a world record.
The ill-fated bird flew into an exposition center Monday in the northern city of Leeuwarden, where employees of TV company Endemol NV had worked for weeks setting up more than 4 million dominoes in an attempt to break the official Guinness World Record for falling dominoes.
The common house sparrow of a species on the national endangered list was chased into a corner and shot by an exterminator with an air rifle.
"Under Dutch law, you need a permit to kill this kind of bird, and a permit can only be granted when there's a danger to public health or a crop," said agency spokesman Niels Dorland. "That was not the case."
"I might add: Is it really necessary to kill a bird that knocked over a few dominoes for a game?" he asked.
Dorland said the agency plans to submit the case to national prosecutors.

During filming (more on that later), I was asked if my dad ever wore ties. That question sparked a whole stream of memories. My dad wore a tie every single day – even if he didn't have a meeting to dress up for. I used to love helping him pick out ties at Hermès the one time a year he'd grudgingly agree to go shopping (after being bribed with lunch). But each morning, I loved helping him pick out the "perfect" tie. Truth be told, I was utterly unaware if the tie clashed or complimented his outfit. Regardless, he'd put the tie on and head to the office. Looking back, I'd like to think I got it right most of the time, but who knows! It's an interesting memory to think back on now that I'm designing luxury ties.
Cheers, guys!

Advocate of the Year is presented to a Federation member who has played a strong role in carrying out the mission of the Michigan Federation for Children and Families: to influence public policy and practice in support of the highest quality services to vulnerable children and families.
Khadija Walker-Fobbs, Executive Director of The New Foster Care, was presented with the 2019 Federation Member Advocate of the Year award in recognition of her consistent involvement in the Federation's advocacy efforts.
When thinking about a Federation member who is highly involved in advocacy efforts and systems change, Khadija comes quickly to mind. In the fall, Khadija's organization spearheaded and convened a candidate forum to facilitate discussions to develop more informed voters. Khadija understood that both statewide and local candidates for office do not always address the many issues that matter to children and families involved in the foster care system, and she proceeded to develop a forum led by youth to ask important questions about foster care. Khadija was very involved in the Federation's Annual Executive Legislative and Advocacy Day, maximizing the number of legislators and staff that she spoke with about the Federation's state budget and policy priorities. Through The New Foster Care's work at Fostering Success Michigan, the organization testified to the House of Representatives in support of increasing funding available through the Fostering Futures scholarship fund. The organization has also supported the Annual Teen Conference and the National Foster Youth Institute's first legislative Shadow Day in Lansing, bringing youth voices to the public policy process, which is essential and a priority to Khadija and her team. Khadija is both a skilled advocate for her agency, and colleagues in the field know she is someone who will act to ensure kids, families, and especially teenagers, are equipped with the best resources to be successful and thrive in their communities.

Ryan Wall has completed his third year as head coach for the OLLU men's basketball team.
The Saints completed their seventh season with a historic NAIA Elite 8 finish. The team earned a No. 7 at-large bid to nationals after being ranked in the NAIA Men's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll throughout the season. OLLU defeated No. 4-ranked Freed-Hardeman University 87-81 in the opening round. They went on to eliminate the tournament's top-seed Lewis-Clark State College 83-64 to advance to the Elite 8 -- the first OLLU team to reach that milestone. The Saints lost to No. 3-seed MidAmerica Nazarene 82-95 to end their season with an overall 22-9 record.
In the Red River Athletic Conference, the Saints lost to Langston University in the semifinals 65-71. Their final conference record was 13-5.
Upon the conclusion of the season, the Saints were ranked No. 18 in the Top 25 poll. They reached a high of 15th on Feb. 23, and then climbed to No. 13 in the Postseason Top 25 poll.

So due to the pain of my accident, I was given large amounts of morphine. To be honest at the scene of the accident I received a lot of morphine and it really didn't help all that much, it did take some of the pain, but not as much as I though it would.
Anyway, as you may or may not know, Morphine is an opiate, which means it's derived from Opium. So after being on a Morphine drip I.V. in the hospital for a week, there was a little bit of withdrawal symptoms. One of those symptoms are hallucinations, and man did I have my share. I thought I would tell you about one of them.
The most recurring one was of a little monkey. Now that may sound like nothing, but this cute little monkey was perched atop the shelf across from my bed and was constantly trying to kill me. What made this hallucination so interesting was the fact that he was trying to kill me by throwing little carrot throwing stars at me. I would constantly wake up and look around the room to see if I was dreaming or what? Over the course of the next couple of days I had many more other hallucinations, but it was the money that kept showing up. It didn't matter what I was doing or who was visiting me, that monkey kept trying to get me. Awake or asleep, he was there.
He never did though.

Contact Information: Dave Schmidt, U.S. EPA (415) 744-1578 Homer Perkins, U. S. EPA, (415) 744-3276 Donna Hummel, U.S. FWS, (916) 979-2725 Christopher Mobley, U.S. NMFS, (707) 578-7513 Bob Batha, BCDC, (415) 557-8778 Carl Wilcox, CDFG, (707) 944-5525 Rebecca de la Torre, U.S. NRCS, (916) 527-2667
(San Francisco) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today signed
a permit giving the Southern Sonoma County Resource Conservation
District (RCD), representing 35 North Bay landowners, the green
light for levee maintenance work to protect their farmlands,
while at the same time launching one of the largest wetlands
restoration projects in the Bay Area -- at no extra cost to the
The project is good news both for the landowners and for
endangered species such as the salt marsh harvest mouse and
California clapper rail, which will benefit from habitat
Corps of Engineers Lieutenant Colonel Michael Walsh and
local dairyman Mitchel Mulas, vice-president of the (RCD), signed
the permit in a ceremony at the Viansa Winery near Sonoma,
allowing the work to begin. The U.S. EPA Environmental
Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(U.S. FWS), and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission
(BCDC) have also approved the project.
"This is a project that proves that development can continue
in the Bay Area while the environment is protected and enhanced,"
said Walsh. "When everyone, federal, state, and local agencies,
and private citizens work together, it is possible to move
forward with necessary construction without adverse impacts to
the environment."
The cooperative planning effort that led to the signing of
he permit was set in motion late last year by U.S. epresentative
Lynn Woolsey. Participants included the RCD, the Corps of Engineers,
U.S. EPA, the U.S. FWS, the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service
(U.S. NMFS), the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service
(U.S. NRCS) the BCDC, the California department of Fish and Game
(CDFG), and local government agencies and environmental groups.
The permit, which was issued to the RCD, lets the farmers repair
40 miles of levees that protect their fields from being flooded
by water from the Bay and nearby creeks.
"Here's what can happen when stakeholders roll up their
sleeves and work toward a plan that achieves complementary goals.
Federal, state, and local agencies were already working together
and used initiative and common sense to go beyond their initial
project. The result? A big win for the Bay wetlands ecosystem
and the neighboring farm communities," said Wayne White,
California State Supervisor for the U.S. FWS.
"I'd like to thank every landowner, government agency, and
environmental group involved for working together and listening
to each other," said Jeff Rosenbloom, chief of U.S. EPA's western
regional wetlands and sediment management section. "This kind of
cooperation and creative problem-solving is exactly what's needed
to restore the Bay's fish and wildlife while preserving
agriculture in the Bay Area."
"The issuance of this permit demonstrates what can be
accomplished through cooperative efforts to solve problems," said
Carl Wilcox of CDFG. "By working together to solve a permit
problem the resources of all the involved parties have been
mobilized to achieve a larger environmental benefit while
maintaining the viability of an important agricultural activity."
"The permit served as a focal point for dialogue among the
Southern Sonoma County RCD, agencies, organizations and
landowners, to meet the needs of the endangered species and
farmers without cost to them," said Hershel Read, state
conservationist for the U.S. NRCS. "Communication is at an all
time high."
"This project is another example of the kind of 'win-win'
solution that can be achieved for farmers and the environment
when the agencies and the farmers put their heads together and
try to think of new ways to solve old problems," said Chris
Mobley of the U.S. NMFS. "A lot of credit belongs to Lynn Woolsey
and her staff. Grant Davis, in particular, was key to bringing
this project together."
"We hope we have laid the groundwork for future cooperation
between landowners and government agencies," said Bob Batha,
staff biologist for the San Francisco Bay Conservation and
Development Commission. "We believe that it is through such
cooperative efforts that we can best preserve and restore the
Bay's tremendous natural resource values while at the same time
protecting private property from the danger of flooding."
Under the Clean Water Act, projects involving the dredging
and filling of wetlands require a permit from the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. Such permits typically specify mitigation measures
that must be taken to offset any environmental impacts that may
result from a project. When the U.S. FWS determined that
cumulative levee maintenance would harm the endangered California
clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse, the agency recommended
mitigation to be included in the permit, in the form of tidal
habitat restoration and timing restrictions to minimize impacts
to the endangered breeding birds.
Ordinarily, the permittee pays for the mitigation. In this
case, however, the government agencies worked with the landowners
and environmental groups to identify other funding sources to pay
the full cost of the mitigation and restoration projects.
The cost of these projects has been estimated at $400,000 to
$500,000. Funders include the U.S. FWS, the Save San Francisco
Bay Association, the Sonoma Community Foundation, the Sonoma
County Fish and Wildlife Board, the Marin-Sonoma County Mosquito
Abatement District, the California Wildlife Conservation Board,
and the Shell Oil Spill Litigation Settlement Trustee Committee,
which oversees disbursement of monies from a penalty paid by
Shell Oil for a 1988 oil spill.
Even before this year's work on the permit, the staff of the
FWS's San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge, the CDFG, and the
Marin-Sonoma County Mosquito Abatement District were working on a
plan to restore tidal waters to Tolay Creek. Historically,
waters flowed from the Bay through the Creek to the Sonoma Creek
wetlands. But over time, reduced tidal flows resulted in an
environment where upstream portions of the creek dried out, and
upland plants moved in, creating mosquito control problems and
habitat loss for resident endangered species.
Together, the federal and state wildlife agencies crafted a
plan to meld their restoration plan with the RCD's mitigation
needs. Their success is evident in the large extent of the
restoration project, which goes far beyond minimum mitigation
Tolay Creek will now be restored by redirecting tidal flows.
The CDFG will purchase a 53-acre parcel just south of Highway 37
from the Vallejo Sanitation District. This site will be added to
the ongoing restoration project on the San Pablo Bay Refuge,
resulting in creation of 106 acres of tidal wetlands and
restoration of approximately 300 acres more.

Tomorrow evening's match between North Melbourne and the Sydney Swans looms as a blockbuster. Firstly, it is a top four clash and secondly it allows us to see where both teams are at.
This year, the Roos have been the surprise packet winning all games thus far this season. The Swans have also outperformed expectations but not in quite the same brilliance.
The Roos are still not on everyone's radar though. Many people doubt their credentials. While they have beaten everyone that has come their way, the only teams in the top 8 they have beaten are the Crows and Bulldogs. They fought hard in both of those but nor did they win decisively.
The Cats and Swans, both tipped as heavy premiership favourites, have both beaten the Hawks and demolished opponents. The team everyone is surprised about are the Giants, who have beaten the Bulldogs, Hawks and Cats on their way into the top 4.
Given all of these opponents, the Roos are in major danger. They need to be able to show they can beat the best teams in the game to prove they are the real deal. A loss tomorrow doesn't rule them out of the Premiership favourites. They have six rounds to show where they are at though with games against the Swans, Tigers, Cats, Hawks, Crows and Eagles. They need to win at least half of those, but would prefer four out of six to show they are in the realms of premiership possibility.
The Roos have proven they have a strong forward line, admirable midfield and brilliant defence this outstanding season. It just needs to stand up against the top sides. Their veterans have been great as well, but has that bee due to the limited experience of the teams they have played?
The will get their chance to prove themselves. If not, one of the others will take their place on the ladder.
The Cats have come off a surprise loss against the Pies but will get to feast on the Blues this week. They will get to elevate themselves once more with the Giants, Roos and Bulldogs in their sights. After the Roos, they Swans get to take on the Giants next week but will have to wait till round 15 against the Bulldogs, followed by the Cats and Hawks once more. By then, we'll know where the other teams fare. Including teams already mentioned, the Crows are the only other top 8 team the Giants play until round 21. The Giants have a massive opportunity. This is without even mentioning the credentials of the team s who could break into the top 4.
Bring on the battle for the top 4 in the coming months!

Spokes Clinic is proud to announce we now offer skin scratch testing and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for allergy desensitization. SLIT is a safe and effective alternative to subcutaneous immunotherapy (allergy shots) for the treatment of seasonal allergies, asthma, and eczema.
What is sublingual immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy treats the cause of allergies by giving small doses of what a person is allergic to, which increases "immunity" or tolerance to the allergen and reduces the allergic symptoms. Unlike injection immunotherapy, which is given as shots, sublingual immunotherapy is given as drops under the tongue.
How does the process work?
The first step is to confirm a patient's allergies through allergy testing. Then, a custom-mixed vial of drops is prepared for the patient. The patient takes drops under the tongue daily. During the first few months, called the "escalation phase," the dosage is gradually increased. After that, in the "maintenance phase," the patient takes the same dose of drops each day.
Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?
It is very safe, for both adults and children. Patients take the drops in the convenience of their own homes instead of going to the doctor's office every week for shots. The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed sublingual immunotherapy as a viable alternative to injection immunotherapy.
Does it work?
Many published scientific studies have shown that it significantly reduces allergy symptoms.
How long must I continue the treatment?
We recommend that patients keep using the drops for three to five years so that the body will build up a lasting "immunity."
How do I start sublingual immunotherapy?
Call Dr. Bentham's office (250-494-9496) for allergy testing and an evaluation to see if you are likely to benefit from sublingual immunotherapy. If you are, the vials take one to two weeks to mix. Dr. Bentham will see you up to 2-4 times per year to monitor your progress. During therapy, when your last vial is half empty, please call our office to order your new vial.
What are the costs?
Following an initial consultation, skin scratch testing costs 150$ and is covered by many extended health providers. Treatment then costs about 80$/month.
Speak soon,
Dr. Bentham

March must be a very lucky month for the auto industry. Not only did Perodua achieve its best ever monthly figures, now Honda Malaysia has announced that the 4,041 units it sold in that month is the highest ever in the company's history. March was the biggest contributor to Honda Malaysia's first quarter sales of 10,025 units, and they are looking good to meet the annual target of 40,000 units, especially when a new model will join the range next week.
The B-segment City was responsible for 43% of the total sales, with more than 4,000 units sold. Honda Malaysia would be happy to maintain City sales at this level with fresh rivals in this price segment – besides the C-segment Kia Forte, buyers can opt for superminis like the Mazda 2 and soon to be launched Ford Fiesta.
The just facelifted CR-V has done well too – 556 units have been sold while 1,600 of bookings are in line. The Accord and Civic respectively contributed 19% and 18% to the total sales, while CBUs models Jazz and Stream stood at 6%.
It's no longer a secret now that the new model is the Freed, which is described by Honda as a "compact premium MPV". The seven-seater based on the Jazz/City platform will be launched on 22 April. Click here for a "plant tour" of PT Honda Prospect Motor Indonesia, where our Freed will roll out from. Watch this space for the launch report.

Although firmly entrenched in people's minds and hearts as a power pop band, The Posies were never the rigid adherents to the "verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge" structure as that movement suggests.
While always exhibiting impeccable harmonies, the band never skimped on the power part of the equation, which is why they came into many people's hearts and minds during the grunge era in 1993 with the alternative hit "Dream All Day" and the album Frosting on the Beater which also contained the classic "Solar Sister," a song that surprises the listener at every turn while still earworming its way into your head on first listen.
You can also say that about Solid States, the band's first album in six years, which will come out April 29. Posies founding members Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer took a DIY approach, not unlike their very first self-released album, Failure, from 1987. Subsequent Posies albums have toyed with fans' expectations but not to the extent of the new album, which dials back the guitars and super-sizes the trademark harmonies to a degree of sonic measurement that Auer quantifies as "a shit-ton."
"We had a certain concept already chosen, to make a more electronic-based recording using a lot more synths and incorporating programmed beats," Stringfellow says. "The idea was we'd later add some live drums. And in the middle of this, our longtime drummer, Darius Minwalla, passed away out of the blue. Now there was no turning back. The only way was forward. Of course, Darius became a major part of the album as a subject, what we went through losing our friend so young. Then two days before we left on this tour, our longtime bassist, Joe Skyward, died of cancer, which wasn't entirely unexpected. We knew he was sick, but still."
Reduced to a duo first by choice and then by circumstance lends a sense of adventurousness to songs like "Unlikely Places," which has wordless harmonies following keyboards lines, a bit of exotica that hearkens back to pre-Beatles pop like The Chordettes "Mr. Sandman," yet still manages to seem futuristic.
"The structure is less linear than normal," says Auer. "There's a lot of ear candy, things we might have thought were too precious in the past, but on this record it works."

The excitement Stringfellow and Auer feel about their new songs (and new drummer Frankie Siragusa) is matched by the fans' enthusiasm for secret shows, where the location of the show is announced the day of the show.
"Most of the shows have sold out already. The Seattle show sold out in two hours and we're not used to that happening," Stringfellow says. "We weren't sure when the album was going to be done so it was harder to predict when we should book the tour. Nine months out you might gave trouble with getting a Saturday night. So we thought let's not book in any of the shows in clubs, and it's worked out wonderfully. We do smaller shows and because space is limited we can set a higher price."
Although the single "Squirrel vs Snake" suggests Stringfellow and Auer relocated to Paris on political grounds ("Don't want a government that thinks I should be spied on"), the move was for personal reasons. And as some of the wordless anthemic choruses on the new album suggest, they are keeping up on what musical trends you kids in this country are loving these days.
"My mom for Christmas had the great idea to get me a subscription to Rolling Stone, all the way here in Europe," says Auer. One Direction, 5 Seconds to Summer ... someone is getting a big fat paycheck at that magazine."

text: Two volunteer firefighters in Virginia have been suspended for rushing an 18-month-old girl to a nearby hospital during a medical emergency in their fire engine because it did not have the proper equipment or medications, according to a report.Captain James Kelley and Sergeant Virgil Bloom, both with the Falmouth Volunteer Fire Department in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said they were the first emergency team to arrive on the scene near a McDonald's restaurant on February 27, according to WTTG. So sad that somebody who is clinging to death, that a firefighter team transporting the kid to safety would only get in trouble for it. It seems the city of Fredericksburg, VA is more worried about law suits then the heroes they have in their fire department. To me they had the proper equipment to rush the child to the hospital, they had sirens and a transport system. Bet anything the people who suspended these firefighters would of freaked out in this situation if they came across a little child clinging to life or death. It just seems that city officials in cities across America seem to be at war with our safety personnel and police officers for some reason anymore.

So I'm trying something new with the blog after recent positive feedback where I share my own thoughts about recent activities and talking points that have taken risen during a TCR International Series event.
I started this already during my earlier post and will continue to expand on those subjects and others…
Remember that these are my own thoughts about the weekend and as you well know, everyone is entitles to their own thoughts about the racing…
You were warned…
The Oriola Two-Step…
I have to say that as a fan, follower and blogger of the TCR International Series, that I disagreed with the lack of stewards decisions made in light of some of the overtaking that took place at Zhejiang and the after results of said overtakes.
I agree that Touring Car Racing always has contact and always will do, however the manner that Pepe Oriola was demoted on lap 12 during Race One was in my opinion, punishable. Vernay clearly used the "Nudge" technique to assist his pass on Oriola and this saw the Spaniard run off the road on the Start/Finish straight.
Oriola quite rightly moved over to defend his position from Morbidelli on the run to the first turn, however contact again ensued and Oriola into a slid going into the first turn. The fact there was no further action taken sets a precedent and one I think we will see more of in Dubai where the last two races of the year will take place.
To add to that, expect to see a lot of drivers going for glory in these last two races as they look to end their season on a high note.
Another example of poor overtaking was the determination of Rob Huff in race two. Whilst battling for position at the top of the circuit, Huff made contact with David Kajaia and this saw the Alfa Romeo driver retire two corners later with a damaged right rear wheel. Huff then followed this up with a very elbows out pass on Morbidelli, which saw the Italian sideways and defending from Audi driver Vervisch.
Had this been a different tintop series (There's plenty out there to choose from….) I'm pretty certain that there would have been a penalty given, however as this was Huffs last TCR race of the year, there's also the "Going out in style" aspect to consider.
Like I said, I'm all for exciting passes but I'm also for fair passing as well that doesn't see the other driver retire or lose out on several positions because of that contact and pass. That's often causes fans to give their own opinion…
The Hyundai's are coming!!!
The big news coming into the weekend were the Hyundai's making their debut and I think you'll agree that they have made their point. Whilst a lot of the development has been done with Gabriele Tarquini involved, adding Alain Menu to the driver lineup for the last two events was inspired.
Until the BoP was invoked for Race Two, both drivers had very good speed and pace and were able to showcase this in Race One very convincingly by moving forward very quickly from 13th and 14th on the grid respectively. Even with an extra 40kgs and 5% less horsepower imposed on them for the second race, Tarquini and Menu still powered their way forward to both finish inside the top six.
Whilst the KIA effort, the first new car to be entered earlier this season, has been backed by STARD and developed by Zengo Motorsport, the car didn't light up the headlines when it debuted in Hungary. Whilst more development is underway for the KIA for 2018, the Hyundai came out with all guns blazing and despite some overheating issues and an oil issue, was able to hold its own even with BoP added to the car.
I for one expect to see quite a few of these out in action next year in both Domestic and the International series. I can already hear the phone of Andrea Adamo, Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing Manager, ringing off the hook with Sales for 2018…
(Please don't take my comments about the KIA as negative. A lot of hard work from Manfred Stohl's outfit has gone in the car and you can bet there will be a big step in performance in 2018 with more cars expected in competition).
Those who lost out in China…
I feel some of the drivers who suffered a bad weekend need a mention. I include Stefano Comini, Mato Homola amongst quite a few. Comini is in the title hunt and now looks increasingly as if he will have to concede his reign as Champion to rival Vernay, but you can bet the Swiss driver wont give up without a fight.
Comini has won the TCR International Title in both a SEAT and a VW, however the last third of the season seems to have gone against the Audi. But lets not forget, the RS3 LMS TCR is in its first season. Whilst the title will be difficult you can never count out Stefano Comini.
You can be rest assured that whilst the Swiss driver now has an outside chance of retaining his title, Comini and Comtoyou Racing will be out to try and do the best that they can in Dubai. If the track layout is not a factor then both man and machine will be in the hunt for wins whilst Vernay and Tassi battle it out got the crown.
Denis Dupont made his TCR International Series debut at Zhejiang in a SEAT run by Comtoyou Racing with backing from the RACB. The Belgian driver has been a front runner in in the TCR Benelux Series and the step up seems to have been a logical one. With the Belgian outfit looking after his SEAT along with the two Audi's, you could expect a good showing at his first attempt.
However Dupont had what you could call a difficult start to his debut with SEAT Leon damaged in FP1 before repairs taking place to get the car out again for FP2. Dupont qualified a respectable 11th on his debut, having made it through from Q1 into Q2 and just missing out on the reverse pole position spot for Race Two. Unfortunately contact with Alain Menu at the start of Race One saw Dupont retire on the spot and the damage was as such that he wouldn't be able to start Race Two.
Thankfully the Belgian driver will be back in action in Dubai where he will put the lessons learned in Zhejiang to good practice as he looks to go up against the best in TCR for a second weekend. You can expect him to be a little more robust when racing up against the Hyundai's during both of the final race weekend as well as racing others hard whilst he stakes a claim for a full time ride in 2018.
As I've already made clear, I'm a big Vauxhall/Opel Touring car fan and it pains me to see Mato Homola and the DG Sport Competition suffering as they did again in China. The Opel Astra is the only full time entry in 2017 not to have taken a win but the fact that Homola has taken three pole positions says that the speed is there.
However, the recent BoP adjustment that saw the Astra gain weight seemed to make little sense. I feel that this may have been put in place due to the recent wins of Harald Proczyk in the ADAC TCR Germany finale and also the fine performance of the Astra at the hands of Kissling Motorsport in the last two VLN endurance events.
I'm looking into clarification for this but I believe that the performances worldwide of a car can affect how the BoP is adjusted and I also believe that this includes Endurance events as well. Don't forget that the TCR Classes are growing in Endurance racing and offering a competitive alternative to those who cant afford GT class machinery.
Once I have clarification, I'll update this post.
Homola again suffered engine issues during Qualifying and then a puncture during the first race, however whilst the decision to add weight to the Opel Astra TCR added to what was a difficult weekend, there is still hope for both driver and team.
Both the Sloviakian and DG Sport Competition have seen standout weekends and improved pace during the season and indeed since the cars debut back in Bahrain last year. They will be out to end the season on a high in Dubai and I suspect they will be in the hunt for glory once more.
Finally… TCR EUROPE TROPHY
Before the series finale for the 2017 TCR International Series takes place, there is another major TCR title up for grabs and one I suggest you watch:
The 2017 TCR Europe Trophy.
The best of the Domestic European TCR series drivers will go up against each other to win the prestigious TCR Europe Trophy which takes place at the Adria International Raceway in Italy on 29th October. The format is different to the 2016 Trophy where a driver had to compete in up to seven different events across the European series.
Belgain driver Pierre Yves-Corthals took the win in the DG Sport Competition Opel Astra with Jordi Oriola often joining him in the second car. I for one would love to see the younger Oriola back in a competitve TCR car as he is bloody fast…
This years event is as close as you'll get to seeing something similar to the Touring Car World Cup events that took place back in the middle 1990's and I'm sure its going to be a fantastic event to witness. The chance in format for 2017 will see Practice, Qualifying and Race takes place over the same weekend, with the driver scoring the highest points being declared the winner.
Now take into account that drivers from any European TCR Series are eligible and with the recent change in rules that drivers who did took part in at least one TCR event during the 2017 season are eligible for the 2017 TCR European Trophy.
Add to this that drivers classified outside of the first ten positions of the 2017 TCR International Series, as per 30 September 2017, are eligible as well and you have what looks to be a phenomenal event ahead.
Consider that the best from such series as TCR Baltic, TCR Benelux, TCR Germany, TCR Ibérico, TCR Italy, TCR Portugal, TCR Russia, TCR Scandinavia, TCR Spain, 24h Series, 24H TCE Series, VLN and you have a stellar array of drivers and teams eligible.
Add in the following names who are also eligible…
Giacomo Altoè
Frédéric Vervisch
Norbert Michelisz
Rob Huff
Daniel Lloyd
Ferenc Ficza
Benjamin Lessennes
Aurélien Panis
Jens Reno Møller
Thomas Jäger
Pierre-Yves Corthals
Edouard Mondron
Jaap van Lagen
Duncan Ende
Tom Coronel
Stian Paulsen
Danny Kroes
Kantadhee Kusiri
And the biggest TCR event of the season gets even bigger.
This is not one to miss and will nicely fill the gap ahead of the TCR International Series finale. Having covered the TCR Middle East Series and the TCR International Series this year, TCR Europe Trophy will be another event covered by this blog before we head into what will be a very interesting winter for TCR in general with TCR UK starting in 2018.
As per usual, I will be keeping things up to date on here with the blog as well as with the members of both the TCR Talk International Facebook Group and the new TCR Talk UK Facebook Group who will also be sharing their thoughts as well as any news from The TCR International Series, Domestic Series and any news on the TCR UK Series that starts in 2018.

Until next time, all the best!
