Heart, Hustle, Effort ... Loss
Then, the Huskies finally started to flash forward Gavin Edwards to the high post and hit him in the paint. With that -- and some Syracuse foul trouble -- UConn's halfcourt offense finally started to click, and the Huskies climbed all the way back from a 16-point deficit with 13:50 to go to tie it on a Jerome Dyson trey with 2:33 remaining.
They showed tremendous heart and hustle in mustering the comeback. But, eventually, they fell short. Again.
Dyson missed a 10-footer with 1:02 left that could have given UConn its first lead since 2-1. Then, things got odd.
After a timeout, Syracuse inbounded the ball with 45.5 seconds left and Andy Rautins missed a corner 3-pointer. Rick Jackson grabbed the rebound and passed to Scoop Jardine, and Jim Boeheim called timeout, though nobody but referee John Cahill seemed to notice. Jardine drove for a layup and was blocked by Gavin Edwards, and UConn grabbed the loose ball. But Cahill had awarded Boeheim the timeout, and the Orange retained possession with 36.6 seconds left.
Why did Boeheim call that timeout?
"I saw Scoop with the ball," he deadpanned. "I didn't look at the rest of it, but I don't think I had to. He didn't know where he was going, that's why I called time out."
Johnson was fouled by Robinson and hit both freebies. After a timeout, UConn ran its offense and Dyson settled for a long wing 3-pointer with about 13 seconds still remaining. He missed.
"We weren't afraid to take a 3," said acting head coach George Blaney, "but we would have liked to have taken it a little closer. And 'Rome agrees."
Indeed …
"I could have gotten a better one than the one I got," Dyson confessed. "It felt good. I let it fly, and I looked where I was and I was a step or two (behind the 3-point line) … I thought it was going in."
When asked if Dyson's shot was the one the team wanted, sophomore point guard Kemba Walker said, succinctly: "Not really. We just wanted to get a good shot. That's really it."
Kris Joseph was fouled on the rebound and hit both free throws. Walker drove the length of the floor for a layup, but after a timeout, Wes Johnson hit Joseph with a long inbounds pass and Ater Majok was called for an intentional foul. UConn didn't guard the inbounds pass, meaning it had a 5-on-4 advantage, but still allowed Joseph to break free.
"You're trying to press, and what you always try to do in those circumstances is try to be a defensive back and not allow space in between," said Blaney. "They stepped open and created space, and that was all."
When asked if the long baseball pass was what he had designed, Boeheim simply said: "Once in a while, we have a play."
Joseph hit both free throws, Jardine added another for good measure, and Syracuse had survived.
Syracuse, a 65-percent foul-shooting team, hit 23-of-28 (82.1 percent) from the charity stripe.
***Not sure if Blaney was criticizing the refs or not with this postgame remark: "I asked the officials one time that Jimmy Boeheim has 800-and-whatever number of wins, and that he didn't need any help from them tonight. He had enough wins. We were trying not to get him another win tonight."
Blaney said he had been "really angry" with the team the last two days, but "I told them I was really proud of them tonight, because they gave everything they had. We just made some foolish mistakes. The three fouls that we committed just were really killers, and to me, that changed the game for them, and for us."
***Boeheim on Jim Calhoun:
"George Blaney is a tremendous coach, but Jim Calhoun is one of the best coaches ever to coach in college basketball. People don't mention him that much when they talk about great coaches. He's done more -- taking a program from the Yankee Conference to the top of college basketball – than anybody else has ever done, at any school. If you look at the other great programs, they were great before their coaches got there. For them to play this well with Jim not being there is a tribute to George, and the kids themselves."
***Anyway, tough loss, great effort by UConn. But at some point, it's got to turn these close calls against top teams into victories. A Cincinnati team that appears in a bit of disarray comes to town on Saturday, then comes a trip to Philly for No. 4 Villanova, and yet another opportunity to score that signature win.

A FRAUDSTER jailed for bogus environmental investment schemes could now lose his £700,000 Thundersley home.
Matthew Ames faces a proceeds of crime hearing later this year to determine if he has any assets to repay any of the £1.6million he swindled from investors.
Ames, 38, ran two companies from a converted farm barn in Dunton Road, Laindon.
Business Secretary Vince Cable is also trying to recoup money spent by his department investigating the conman.
Ames, of Goldfinch Lane, Thundersley, was jailed at Isleworth Crown Court on Friday after being found guilty of two counts of fraudulent trading relating to the Investor Club and Forestry for Life.
During the hearing, it emerged Ames had been offered a £10,000-a-month job managing his father David Ames's five-star Buccament Bay resort in the Caribbean island of St Vincent if he avoided jail.
Defence lawyer Adam Budworth argued Ames had not set out to defraud, but got out of his depth, so he should be given a suspended sentence.
He said: "This was not a boiler room scam with highpressure salesmen in vulnerable people's homes.
"He has the opportunity to earn £10,000 a month in the management team of Buccament Bay.
"He made a pledge to repay every investor and this would allow the start of that process.
"You could say in this case prison would be the soft option and not help any of the investors."
The bid was rejected by Judge Paul Dugdale who gave him 40 months in prison.
The case will resume in October when the prosecution will seek to seize any property or cash owned by Ames to compensate clients who ploughed life savings, insurance payouts and pensions into the schemes which falsely claimed it would be used to buy teak trees in Sri Lanka or rainforest land.
However, the Echo can reveal several individuals, businesses and authorities have laid claim to a stake in Ames's gated four-bedroom detached home, called Marimba, in leafy Goldfinch Lane, which he bought for £700,000 in April 2007.
Land Registry records show the property has several legal restrictions in the name of various parties, which means it could not be sold without them being informed.
These include two in the name of Begbies Traynor, the liquidator of both firms, and two in the name of Business Secretary Vince Cable, which are understood to be in connection with costs for a separate investigation into Ames's conduct which led him to be banned from being a company director for 13 years last August.
As co-owner, his wife Amanda Ames, who the court heard is divorcing him, would also have a stake on her share.

Glimpses: St. Joseph's College During the Vietnam War Exhibit
Filmmaker Ken Burn's recent documentary series on PBS The Vietnam War: An Intimate History brought the viewer back in time over 50 years to examine one of the most controversial periods in the United States during the 20th Century. The Vietnam War played out on the world stage, but the program made clear local connections to people from communities across America and the hamlets of the former North and South Vietnam. Saint Joseph's College had its own links to the conflict, too. In a new three-part exhibition, the Archives and Special explores some them through the camera lens of a young graduate, newspaper articles from the campus and the efforts of two alums and students to assist Vietnamese orphans.
Vietnam in Retrospect: Photographs 1969-1970 By Richard Zanoni '67
United States Army sergeant Richard Zanoni '67 used his new hobby of photography to record daily life in Can Tho on the Mekong River Delta of South Vietnam during his tour of duty. Some of his 35 mm film images captured a different side of the war, than what many Americans saw back home on television, with children at play, a barber cutting hair, a woman selling her goods in the marketplace and Buddhist monks. However, others remind you that the war was ever present. One shows a smiling Vietnamese boy carrying his younger brother, who had lost his leg and another, a little girl eating rice from a discarded beer can. What happened to the people in his photographs is something that Sergeant Zanoni has often thought about since the war.
Fifty Years On: The Vietnam War on Campus
Saint Joseph's was not unlike many other college campuses in the country during the Vietnam War. There was early support from the student body favoring continued participation in the war. Faculty members held "scholarly discussions" on the merits of the conflict. There were peace vigils and protests. Guest speakers also appeared before student audiences.
This part of the exhibition draws heavily on articles from The Hawk student newspaper that can be found in The Hawk Digital Archive 1930-2015 . It is a sampling of materials and not intended to be a comprehensive history of the events that took place on campus during the Vietnam War. Perhaps, the Archives will hear from some of the "Golden Hawks" about their personal experiences.
Humanity in a Time of War: "Project Vietnam" Lends a Helping Hand to the
Stella Maris Orphanage
Lieutenant James L. Tobin '64 and Captain Edward Essl '55 of the United States Air Force met a group of Vietnamese nuns struggling to run the Stella Maris (Star of the Sea) Orphanage near Da Nang, South Vietnam in 1966. Lt. Tobin wrote to Lieutenant Colonel Daniel J. Boyle of the Saint Joseph's College Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) program requesting assistance from the College to aid the children. By the spring of 1967 "Project Vietnam" had been organized by the students to help solicit funds in order to build a hospital wing for the orphanage. Through car washes, collection canisters and social mixers $1,540.00 was raised and presented to Sister Angela of the orphanage.
The exhibition will be on display until the end of the Spring Semester in the Gerard Manley Hopkins Special Collections area on the 3rd floor of the John and Maryanne Hennings Post Learning Commons. A reception will be held there on Thursday, March 22nd at 3 P.M. Richard Zanoni will be there to speak about his photographs. Several other Vietnam War veterans who are part of the SJU community will also offer remarks on the topic of the war.
Thank you to the Saint Joseph's University Office of Veterans Services for their assistance with Vietnam in Retrospect.

How to Battle Small-to-Big BYOD Issues Legally
'Bring your own device (BYOD)' movement has changed the IT landscape of workplaces with its potential for cost savings and improved end-user satisfaction. While technology has provided for this paradigm shift, it has also attracted a host of legal issues to the forefront. The prevailing BYOD legal issues—such as storing corporate data, secure destruction of the data, applications, and servers—are extensively compromised via devices that are not under IT control. The integrity of these resources is paramount to the everyday operations of IT organizations.
Legally, many BYOD issues don't have any fix resolution. IT organizations are yet to develop a comprehensive BYOD management strategy that enables employees to be productive without meeting legal lines.
To establish a mutual understanding of rules between management, IT and users, policies and basic agreements have been the primary tools to enforce those rules. Organizations have today set some policies in place for business purposes, such as social media policy, preserving reputation, as well as a BYOD policy or agreement but, those aren't enough to protect them. It is simple; the device belongs to your employee but, the data belongs to you, and policies fail to cover that. It's important to cover these unaddressed bases when it is about the legal implications of BYOD:
• Personal Use versus Overtime: It happens that employees work overtime or stay longer regarding work at office. Employer may need to pay them overtime under the laws governing wages and hours if hourly employees use their phones, depending on what specific tasks workers are performing. Or at last, companies may exempt workers from using personal devices for work to avoid overtime claims.
• Privacy Invasion: In order to organize and evaluate how their employees use tracking technologies and organizations get access to users' personal information stored on devices. Such invasion of workers' privacy may become a hurdle for the organization and affect flexibility. Privacy laws with respect to BYOD are still amorphous. There is yet no stringent law to protect the blurring lines between managing and supporting a user's device.
• Liability: Today, employees using a wireless device while driving for multiple purposes are normal. In such cases, the law demands a prohibition on the use of mobile phones while talking or texting. So, employers might invite legal action to themselves if employees are using mobile devices for business purposes, we call it 'collision of businesses'.
Companies tend to lose some or much control with respect to their data with the use of personal devices by employees. The storage and transmission of such data, in the absence of appropriate systems in place, are dependent on the employees to secure their devices. In the case of the personal devices of employees, organizations are obligated to implement reasonable security policies that contain managerial, technical, physical security control, and other operational measures to commensurate with the information being protected.
A Comprehensive Written BYOD Policy: The policy shall clearly spell out the rules on the utilization of personal devices by employees. The detailing policy needs to the talk about the manner in which the personal device can be used at the workplace. To exemplify, obstructing the access to certain websites, asking employees to install software on personal devices for real-time tracking or undertake a remote lock or deletion of data that could risk company in future, having protocols to be abided by at the time of severance of the employment.
While many organizations try to impose any policies they want, chances employees won't agree to or abide by them is most probable. It can be improved if all parties involved—HR, IT, finance, legal, operating departments and individual staff members—agree altogether for policy application.
The legal ways are there in place in case of breaches, however, a carefully thought out BYOD policy will certainly reduce many legal risks that a company may face in this area. Common sense and access to good advice regarding BYOD legal issues should prevail.

ECB's De Guindos warns of risks of EU planned bad loan reform
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The vice president of the European Central Bank, Luis De Guindos, warned on Tuesday of the risks of incompatibility with global standards of a planned reform of European Union banking rules that would facilitate the massive sale of bad loans.
EU finance ministers are close to finalising a broad reform of banking rules which includes, among other measures, a temporary favourable capital treatment for banks that carry out large sales of their bad loans.
De Guindos said the overall reform was a positive step but raised doubts about the proposed measure on bad loan sales which "could not be compatible with Basel standards", he said referring to the Basel Committee, a global banking standard-setting body.

text: Totally enjoying our summer and exploring new places and fun activities with L and B before the new baby comes. Definitely starting to feel a little anxious some days at the thought of having a newborn when lately I've been feeling at full capacity with just these two guys, but every day changes and every day will continue to change as we all grow, and I know all I can do is offer my best each day. I'm hopeful that my pregnancy exhaustion will dissipate and so hopeful that having the new baby will not be as exhausting as I've been feeling most days in these last few weeks. The kids are so, so excited for 'their' new baby to come and Landon's been counting down the days until my due date every morning. I know they're going to be completely star struck and over the moon with their new little sibling and their comments and sweet gestures towards my moving, growing belly are already melting my heart. A few pics from our weekend, basking and playing in some gorgeous weather outside.

Malala Yousafzai, the teenage Pakistani advocate for girls' education, has made many friends worldwide since she survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban last year.
One of those supporters is former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who also serves as UN special envoy for global education.
Brown recently said that Malala is a symbol of how much one individual can do when she believes firmly in a cause.
"Malala is a brave, courageous, wonderful young woman who has shown the world that the determination and courage to stand up for your principles can mean huge sacrifices but can also show the world that good can come when you stand up for your principles," Brown said.
Brown also said Malala has already made a difference in the education situation for girls in Pakistan. After she was shot in the head on a school bus by Taliban gunmen on her way home from school, thousands of schoolchildren demonstrated in support of her demand that girls be able to attend schools safely and freely.
"When I visited Pakistan a month after Malala was shot, I found that thousands of girls and boys were supporting her campaign, and [I found] that the government introduced legislation to bring about free compulsory education -- they created stipends for 3 million girls," Brown said.
"Most recently, the new government has announced they will double the spending on education from 2 percent to 4 percent of national income. And much of this is due to the influence that Malala and her father and the cause she represents has had on the Pakistani people."
But Malala has also had a global reach. Brown said that as she now travels the world speaking on behalf of children's education, she has equally called for the world not to forget the plight of Syrian children in refugee camps in neighboring countries.
Asked if he feels Malala now has a good chance of winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize, Brown said that whether she receives it or not she is already a winner for making children's education such an important issue around the world.
"People are not talking about the importance of girls getting schooling, people are now talking about why 57 million children are not able to go to school because we have not the schools and the teachers or because we have child labor and child marriage preventing girls from going to school," Brown said.
Malala currently lives in Birmingham, in the U.K., where she received treatment after she was shot.

Photo: Ave Maria School of LawAve Maria School of Law Dean Eugene R. Milhizer is returning to the classroom.
Of Counsel
Stepping down at Ave Maria's School of Law
Students: 320 Faculty: 34 Campus: The 12-acre campus, consisting of six major buildings, is located in the Vineyards community, northeast of Naples.
History: Ave Maria School of Law was founded by Thomas S. Monaghan in 1999.Monaghan, who founded Domino's Pizza in 1960, also started Ave Maria University, located in the city of Ave Maria, about 25 miles from the law school.
'First Love'
Ave Maria School of Law Dean Eugene R. Milhizer is returning to the classroom.
This summer, Eugene R. Milhizer will step down as president and dean of the Ave Maria School of Law. During his six-year tenure, Milhizer oversaw a slew of initiatives, from creating a critical thinking department and launching an international law journal to hiring more professors.It was also under his watch that Ave Maria sued the federal government, challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act's mandate that employers offer health insurance coverage for contraception and abortion inducing drugs, which the Catholic law school finds unacceptable. The case remains in federal court.Milhizer might end up being best known, however, for overseeing the law school's move from Michigan to southwest Florida in 2009 — a move that "was unprecedented," says Milhizer, a retired Army judge advocate, who joined Ave Maria in 2001 to be a law professor. "No other law school has ever moved from one part of the country to another. We had hundreds of individuals and families that we had to move. And that's aside from the institutional move, which involved 38 moving vans and moving to buildings that were being retrofitted to accommodate a law school. It reminded me of the type of planning that you'd do When you're deploying a unit overseas. It was like a large scale military operation."
As for the health care lawsuit, "We didn't joyfully get involved with it. I don't think anyone relishes the idea of suing their government, suing their country. But the health care mandate, the Health and Human Services mandate, requires employers to provide, among other things, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception and sterilization to their employees, and that is completely contrary to our mission and what the Catholic Church teaches. We were put in a position where we had to sue to protect our own religious liberty and our religious identity."
Milhizer says he views the suit "as an act of patriotism because we're defending the First Amendment against an unwanted government intrusion."
Milhizer says the major reason he's stepping down is that he "missed being in the classroom as a professor.The time is right for me to return to the faculty and return to my first love."
His legacy, he says, "has been to strengthen the law school's Catholic identity.We're different than other law schools. We really have made a conscious decision, everyone on the faculty, to integrate the natural law and the Catholic intellectual tradition into their classes. But it's more than just what you have in the classroom. It permeates our entire culture, and it causes us to look at law as a very honorable profession, as a vocation, and not just a way to exercise will or to get your way. It's a way to serve the common good and the dignity of every person."

Compression stockings are an important step in the process of treating varicose veins following EVLT . After this minimally invasive procedure is done, a compression stocking is used for the affected leg. The stockings have a key role to play, namely by helping to increase circulation post-treatment.
Compression stockings are also useful, more generally, in the conservative management of leg edema (the build-up of fluid and swelling in the leg) and symptoms of venous insufficiency (problems with blood flow that can trigger symptoms such as aches, pains and cramping).
When compression stockings are applied, they are fitted tightly at the foot and more loosely as they make their way up the leg. There is a bit of an adjustment period, but when fit correctly they feel snug and comfortable.Back
Varicose veins are a result of pressurization of small veins located below the skin. The cause of this pressurization is incompetent valves within veins themselves. This does not allow the normal antegrade (forward) flow...Read More

1 in 3 Grocery Shoppers Use Mobile Devices in Store: Study
One-quarter of grocery shoppers use mobile devices while shopping in the store, according to a recent study by Hollywood, Fla.-based KSC Kreate, a creative production studio specializing in visual content.
According to KSC's "2013 Grocery Shopping Habits" study, which surveyed more than 570 consumers on grocery shopping behaviors and preferences, these shoppers use their mobile devices to look up recipes and nutritional information, find coupons, or check out the prices of products at competing stores.
The vast majority of consumers (85 percent) visit a physical store for groceries at least once per week, with 42 percent of consumers going more than two times per week. Most consumers (62 percent) frequent large chains like Jewel-Osco or Publix, followed by mass retailers (SuperTarget, Walmart) or specialty stores (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's). In addition, 84 percent of consumers spend $30 to $150 per trip.
The survey uncovered insight into how consumers research, shop and make purchasing decisions before and during their grocery trips. Before going to the store, 36 percent of consumers research grocery purchases online, most often to search for coupons, competitor pricing and recipe ideas. One in three grocery shoppers use a mobile device in store to look up recipe ideas, coupons, nutritional information or competitor pricing.
"Grocery shoppers are online savvy and it's important for brands to provide compelling content on the channels they are using," said Diana Udel, executive producer at KSC Kreate.
More than half (52 percent) of consumers have visited a grocer's web or mobile site, and the most popular destination is the "recipe and meals" section. In fact, consumers are most likely to buy a product that's included in a recipe they want to try, or if it's on sale or the least expensive item.
"We found that online recipe and meal sections are very popular among consumers and play a big role in purchasing decisions," added Udel. "Grocers, consumer packaged goods companies and private label brand owners should be highlighting their products across channels with exceptional content and branded recipes."
Three out of four consumers make a list before going to the grocery store, and 61 percent of shoppers spend five to 20 minutes researching and making their lists. However, these shoppers rarely follow the list exactly – 76 percent buy an average of one to five extra items that are not on their original list each shopping trip. Most often because a product is on sale, they forgot to put it on their list or because they decide they want the product while they are at the store, the study found.
The survey also revealed consumers have limited brand loyalty when grocery shopping. Only 13 percent of respondents make purchases at the grocery store because of loyalty to a brand.
In addition, the study found that consumers shop and research differently when purchasing for special occasions -- such as a holiday dinner or party -- than when they go to the grocery store to replenish staples. When grocery shopping as part of a routine, the majority of consumers make grocery lists and purchasing decisions by looking through their pantry to see what items they need. On the other hand, browsing online recipes are the most popular research method among consumers for special occasion planning.
"Lack of loyalty and differences in occasion-based shopping habits present brands with an opportunity to increase sales with strong, mouth-watering imagery that captures consumer attention both online and offline," said Udel. "Brands must remember to make their content accessible and appealing on multiple devices – smartphones, tablets and online – so they can reach consumers at every step of the shopping process."
KSC Kreate completed this study to uncover trends and provide grocers and consumer packaged goods companies with an improved understanding of consumer behaviors and preferences.

Freelancing is often more of a pain in the (you know what) than it is worth. Look, I love sitting at home in my skivvies and going to work when I want on what I want, and you'd think that would be true no matter what. But there are some downsides to this type of work and I have a little fiasco to tell you about. Don't let it deter you from the freelance dream, but be prepared for this kind of disaster.
I was right in the middle of designing a series of banners for new casinos Karamba casino the no deposit bonus casino and Slots & Stripes. These were basically telling customers about great deals and encouraging them to spend their time at these websites. On a side note, I dig these guys and must also give a so called "shout out" to the great people at superlenny casino. They've all been great with me and always pay me on time. I only do work with sites that give me respect.
Anyway, I was taking one last look at the banners, making sure everything looked perfect, and was about to save when it happend: my computer clicked off. Panic hit me, but I wasn't too worried, because it does have an auto-save feature. However, my computer wouldn't turn back on and a trip to the shop told me the bad news: it was fried.
So now I'm waiting for them to pull the data off my dead hard drive so I can send it in and get paid. I got my little cheap laptop right now (hailing to you from its ailing form at the moment!) and I can do some work. But without the graphics I need, I'm a bit stuck.
Here's some honest advice from one freelancer to another: constantly back up your work. Or you might end up staring at a black screen with nothing to do but start over again from the beginning.

Withdraw remarks on Ram: BJP to Karunanidhi
Senior BJP leader LK Advani appeals to Karunanidhi to withdraw his controversial remarks on Lord Ram.india Updated: Sep 20, 2007, 16:32 IST
Senior BJP leader LK Advani on Thursday urged DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to withdraw his remarks on Lord Ram and Ram Sethu.
"I appeal to Karunanidhi to withdraw his remarks," Advani told a press conference in Chennai.
The Chief Minister had said that there was no historical proof of Lord Ram's existence or his construction of the Ram Sethu.
On Karunanidhi's charge that there was a "conspiracy" to stall the Sethusamudram project, Advani asked whether the UPA government, which withdrew the first affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, was a part of that conspiracy.
He claimed that the UPA government would not complete its full term and the country would be facing snap polls to the Lok Sabha in the first half of next year.
The BJP leadership had asked its state units to switch over to election mode, he added.
Evading a direct reply to a question whether his party would have an alliance with the AIADMK, Advani said, "Congress and Left parties are the only inimical ones. The party would not hesitate to have alliance with others".

The GPU's advocacy is centred on the following thematic areas
· Safety of journalists
· Legal and policy reforms
· Improved working conditions of journalists
· Freedom of expression
· Media freedom and development
· Professionalism in the media
The GPU has constantly been raising concerns over the safety of journalists through regular alerts and engagements with local and international stakeholders.
In 2011, the GPU came up with a standard tariff for payment of all freelance works. This aims to improve the economic welfare of journalists. We continue to advocate for media houses to improve wages for journalists, provide insurance and regularised their employment contracts.
In 2010, the GPU became the first Gambian CSO to engage the Universal Periodic Review of the United Nations Human Rights Council. We've taken before that mechanism concerns over freedom of expression and press freedom in the Gambia, and further took the government to task there in 2014.
Enjoying an NGO status with African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights, the GPU regularly gives statements at the commission's ordinary sessions, making a case for the AU's human rights mechanism to intervene in the Gambia.
We continue to engage the government to put an end to impunity, review registration and licensing conditions and conduct media law reforms.
We have in recent times strengthened our engagement with local stakeholders as we have so far fruitfully engaged the lawyers, security officials, and National Assembly on key issues concerning journalism in the country.

Students Get In Tune For Piping Championships
Monday, January 26th, 2015
on behalf of The Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust
School pupils from Edinburgh are getting ready to 'give it a skirl' as they prepare for the world's largest schools piping and drumming competition next March.
The competition, which is dedicated to stoking up passion for Scotland's national musical heritage, will see students from Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools and George Heriot's take part in the Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championships (SSPBC).
Armed with their famous 'every school needs a pipe band' motto and a new Freestyle innovation category, the SSPBC committee are delighted to see rising interest from Scotland's younger generations in the pipes and drums.
Currently in its third year, the Championships will see pupils compete in seven categories, meaning that bands can enter the category best suited to their skill set and experience.
Willie MacIntyre, Pipe Major at George Heriot's, said: "Preparation is well underway for the Championships here at the school.
Our pipe band is incredibly popular and it's always great to see the level of interest in the pipes and drums increase amongst our pupils.
The Championships are a great addition to the pipe band calendar and the committee behind the competition have done a great job in encouraging more and more schools each year to get involved in piping and drumming."
Nearly 30 schools have already registered for the competition, taking place on Sunday 8th March at Broughton High School and neighbouring Fettes College.
But organisers are keen to encourage even more schools – or community pipe bands to work with schools – to enter before the January 26 deadline.
This year's competition will include a 'Freestyle' category which encourages pipers and drummers to perform modern and up-to-date songs alongside their other musical instruments played by their classmates.
This innovative category will be judged by three experts of the piping and drumming world including Pipe Major of Shotts and Dykehead Pipe Band, Robert Mathieson; Gary West, presenter of Pipeline on BBC Radio Scotland and Craig Munro from the hugely successful Red Hot Chilli Pipers.
David Johnston, SSPBC Committee Chairman, said: "The talent displayed by those who have entered the competition in the past has been absolutely outstanding and I'm delighted to see the prospect of more new young musicians taking part this year.
"It's great to see so many junior musicians get involved in piping and it is particularly pleasing to see schools from outside the central belt make the extra effort to travel and compete.
"We have seen the interest around the pipes and drums grow over the years, especially as bands such as the Red Hot Chilli Pipers continue to modernise pipe music, making them hugely appealing to the younger generations.
"We are hoping in particular that our Freestyle category will encourage pipe bands in schools to get creative and learn music which is current and interesting to them.
"Our aim is to encourage our young people to embrace our national instrument and seek enjoyment and pleasure from it
"We genuinely feel that this competition does this, playing a continued key role in ensuring that interest around our musical heritage continues to grow."
Schools still have until 26 January 2015 to submit an entry but for more details, please visit: www.scottishschoolspipebandchampionships.com

Terrorism and Counterterrorism
This is a guest post by Jim Sanders, a career, now retired, West Africa watcher for various federal agencies. The views expressed below are his personal views and do not reflect those of his former employers.
In his later years, American journalist Lincoln Steffens looked back with skepticism on his work. His muckraking essays in McClure's magazine exposed government corruption, but he doubted that they contributed to enduring change. Revolutions in Mexico and the Soviet Union impressed him and seemed more effective than reform in advancing society. With respect to them he famously commented, "I have seen the future, and it works."
Elements of Nigeria's elite seem to have caught a glimpse of a revolutionary future, too. In years past, deteriorating conditions in the country gave rise to coup talk. Today, revolution is openly discussed. This is new.
Former President Obasanjo recently stated that unless youth unemployment is addressed, "Nigeria will see a revolution soon." Tunde Bakare, a Latter Rain Assembly pastor and Muhammadu Buhari's running mate in the 2011 presidential election, picked up the theme, adding that "President Obasanjo and others responsible for the yawning gaps between the haves and have-nots in the country would not be spared in the impending revolution."
Bakare included religious leaders engaging in conspicuous consumption at the expense of their flocks among those who "would not escape the revolt of the masses." Most interestingly, he suggested that, "if the revolution does not begin in the church, it cannot spread; if it does not begin in the mosque, it will not spread, because they control the population." Earlier this year, Buhari and former Kaduna State governor Balarabe Musa both warned of a revolution.
If a revolution occurs in Nigeria what would it look like? According to Professor John Voll, revolutionary models profoundly changed with the Arab Spring. Now they are: non-ideological and pragmatic, use the blogosphere as an arena of conflict, utilize flash mobs as a weapon, and include women as a dynamic element. Crane Brinton is out, Voll says, "We're in a new revolutionary mode."
Perhaps a Nigerian revolution is already underway. While Maiduguri is not the Vendee, it is an epicenter of Boko Haram's violent opposition to vestiges of the government. Expansion to Sokoto, where the sect wishes to transfer religious authority from the Sultan to itself, would represent fundamental change to the northern power structure.
Ongoing communal violence in the country featuring flash mobs, as well as growing popular rage against corruption, reflect Steffens' belief that "long before the bullets dominate the landscape, the seeds of revolution are planted by rapacious, corrupt, and inept governments that refuse to change."

It's an effect. It's an instrument. It's Stutter Edit—an innovative tool for both studio and stage, designed by BT and developed by iZotope.
Tear up your tracks in real time, building thrilling fills, complex effects, shimmering sweeps, and staggering stutters that will leave your listeners screaming for more. They'll think you spent hours slaving over the slices... but all it took was a press of a key. (Don't worry, we won't tell.)
Push your performances and production into a new realm of musical intensity with Stutter Edit.
Stutter Edit's features revolve around an innovative engine that continuously samples live audio, storing that audio in a buffer that can be manipulated in a myriad of ways.
The key to unlocking Stutter Edit's capabilities is the use of Gestures: a set of effects and their associated timelines that reside on a single MIDI note. The audible result of a Gesture can vary from simple to complex—a Gesture could simply repeat a small chunk of audio at an 1/8 note rhythmic rate, or it could trigger a run of raging glitches that get decimated by a bit crusher before being filtered into a wash of echoes. Whoa.
Condensing such sonic adventures into a single key press is what makes Stutter Edit so playable, especially with its intelligent sense of timing. Stutter Edit is designed with musicality in mind, which frees you to make wild sounds that still feel like a natural part of your tracks. Outside of the studio, couple Stutter Edit with a host like Ableton Live to rocket your performances into a new world of organic improvisation.

Shutter Gestures
Stutter Gestures combine real-time sampling and audio chopping with a range of versatile color effects. Think you already can make stutter effects with some other 'beat-repeaty' effect you have? Think again. Simply put, Stutter Edit makes sounds you've never heard before. Trigger Stutter Gestures back-to-back to create limitless combinations of rhythmic variation and audio decimation.
- Stutter
- Repeat audio at a rhythmic note value-create incredible sweeps that transition from one rhythmic value to another.
Stutter Matrix
- Choose from a note value from 1/4 to 1/1024 for the stutter module to sweep or step between. That's not enough? You can also make your audio repeat at a high enough frequency to turn it into musical pitches.
- With Quantize off, Stutter Edit sweeps between note values continuously. With it on, you can create unheard-of stepping effects that transform your audio into complex rolls, trills and even arpeggios.
Buffer Position
- Use this slick radar screen to choose where Stutter Edit pulls audio out of the buffer. Dice drum loops. Jump between notes in a vocal phrase. You can even randomize playback order for unexpected results.
- The dual channel Delay can slide between 1/8th to 1/64th note rhythmic delay times, flying from a subtle chorus to a springy rubber-band effect. Dedicated resonant band-pass filters provide perfectly tweakable results.
Bit Reduction
- Get a dose of digital distortion or add a periodic growl. Like every Stutter Edit module, it'll move in sync with the tempo.
- Achieve intense chopping effects that modulate in sync with your track by gating each individual event created by the Stutter module.
- Send stuttered patterns flying left and right at breakneck speeds, or create subtle width and doubled audio that sweeps side to side.
- Shape the sound of each key-controlled Gesture individually. Perfect for cutting the bass, making aggressive resonant sweeps, or creating LFO-like modulation that locks to each Gesture's timeline.
- Get back to the old-timey future. Adjust the Lo-Fi settings to get a "vintage digital" vibe or bury the whole track in fuzz.
Generator Gestures
While Stutter Gestures process audio, Generator Gestures mix noises and crashes with your track. The Generator gives you the ideal tool for creating washes of noise, dramatic build-ups, and hits that add excitement to a track. For performance, choose where you want the Generator Gesture to end, and no matter where you trigger it, it will intelligently stop on the perfect beat. You can even hold a Generator Gesture as you jump between different Stutter Gestures. The result: an improvised arrangement that sounds like you've spent hours toiling in the studio.
- Pitch
- Scale the pitch of the Generator's noise tables over twelve octaves automatically. Build tension, or drop a track into a breakdown with a downward swoosh of noise.
- For a little more bite, add some Lo-Fi to a Generator Gesture for a grainy, gritty noise wash or stab.
- The Generator can automate this resonant band-pass filter to shape and squelch blasts of noise.
- The Generator has its own dedicated delay: when you release a dramatic build-up, it can decay into a trail of echoes for a perfectly smooth transition.
Global Filter
- Grab the Pitch Wheel of your MIDI controller to engage a dual Low- and High-Pass filter. Push it up to cut lows and add resonance, push it down to roll off highs and bring things down to a low rumble.
Timeline Override
- While Stutter Gestures automate everything in sync to the beat, you can also take control of the Gesture timeline with Timeline Override. Grab the Mod Wheel of your controller to hijack the motion of all of the modules at once. Improvise wild rolls, fills, transitions and even "freeze" the Buffer Position.

Moses Mbye is refusing to point the finger at Canterbury over his premature exit from the club.
Mbye described his final game in Bulldogs colours on Saturday as the worst team performance he had been involved in during his four-and-a-half NRL seasons at Belmore.
His farewell party was spoilt by a rampant Gold Coast who ran out 32-10 winners in what was a low point in a turbulent season for the family club.
It appears the salary cap squeeze that forced Mbye to make a mid-season switch to the Wests Tigers and the resulting confusion finally wrought a toll on the side's performance.
Mbye had over a year to run on his deal but will instead turn up to Tigers headquarters at Concord on Monday to begin a new chapter in his career.
"I'd rather have seen out my contract but the situation we're in is quite unique," Mbye said.
"To be fair, the current administration has inherited a lot of the issues.
"The most effective thing was to start shifting a couple of players along and unfortunately one of them was myself. But that's how it works when you get in these situations. The club's done nothing wrong by me."
Nathan Cleary's 2020 Origin audition tape
Check out the 17 rookies picked in the 2020 Maroons squad
Wally's Origin I Queensland team
Mbye was effectively moved on due to the previous administration's decision to sign several players to heavily back-ended deals which resulted in the side facing unworkable salary cap problems next year.
Under former coach Des Hasler, they reached the 2012 and 2014 grand finals but were never able to deliver the premiership the club so desperately wanted.
Mbye refused to paint himself as a victim and only praised the club for bringing him down from Queensland as a teenager and offering him a start.
"The way it works, they seek premiership windows," Mbye said.
"Our previous administration was under the impression that it was our window to get a premiership.
"Results fix everything. Unfortunately we haven't been getting results for the last 24 months.
"When you're not getting results you're looking for answers. And the more results you don't get, the deeper you're digging. We're digging pretty deep because we've lost a number of games now."

At EuroKids we believe in creating a colourful and fun environment in which the children can learn and grow. Our activity programme has also seen extensive growth over the past year and is set to expand further for the 2019-2020 school year. To simplify things for parents, we have divided activities according to Primary, Secondary and Music Academy as well as parents' activities.
Parents of children engaged in existing activities will be contacted in May with specifics with regards to their child's transition into the 2019-2020 school year. Though we try to ensure as few changes as possible, it may be that times or days of activities change. We will also be introducing new activities into the programme which will go online on 3rd June 2019. Based on parents' feedback we will be opening applications for 2 weeks and then contacting parents with confirmations based on the number of activities a child has and whether they were on a waiting list for that activity.
We are pleased to announce that due to the engagement of Mrs Laatu, ESF Secondary students will now be able to engage in activities in the day time during their free periods. The release of this programme is set to coincide with the release of secondary schedules at the beginning of September.
Music Academy
Additional individual music lessons are scheduled to be placed online in June 2019. Existing lessons are scheduled to continue as per usual for those students already registered. Exceptions to this would be PP&P1 students registered for piano lessons who will be contacted in May with more information.
Parents Activities
With our focus on the children, no further activities are planned for the 2019-2020 school year, though the existing Body Workout group is set to continue and remains well visited.

The cash register's "ka-ching" is nearly extinct. The "beep" of the automated teller machine may soon follow. Even the silent swipe of a card with a magnetic strip is destined to disappear.
In their place, you'll wave a plastic card or a key chain fob over a receiver to complete a "contactless" purchase. You'll deposit checks and cash without using an envelope and walk away with a more detailed receipt and nearly immediate access to those funds.
Two new technologies — contactless credit cards and no-envelope ATMS — are being rolled out on a grand scale by banks to introduce their customers to the latest, coolest payment methods, hoping to build brand loyalty and save users time while waiting in line.
In addition to the magnetic strip on the back of your credit card, there soon may be an embedded radio chip that will change the way you pay at the point of sale. Instead of swiping, you'll wave your card over a receiver to complete a purchase. Or at least that's what many banks, credit card issuers and merchants hope.
Big banks like Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, and Wells Fargo are running pilot programs in major metropolitan areas like New York, Washington, Atlanta and San Francisco. Even though contactless cards are still officially in testing phase, users already number in the millions.
Users can wave these cards around today at more than 30,000 shopping establishments, from local cafes to national chains like McDonald's and Arby's. That number is small compared to the total number of U.S. shopping establishments, but the number of merchants accepting contactless cards will surely increase, said Mike Friedman, director of emerging technologies at Mercator Advisory Group, a research firm focusing on the payments industry.
"Contactless lets merchants speed up transactions, take smaller payments . . . and push more customers down the checkout line," he said, adding that flashing instead of swiping the card reduces transaction time by 25 percent.
Some contactless systems are connected to credit cards, adding purchases to account balances. Others work like gift cards, with specific amounts loaded into each card or key fob. Some are reloadable, carrying a value that can be replenished as it is used up.
Cost and security issues
The major drawback is the cost of the terminals. Many smaller merchants are reluctant to shell out for the machines when the cards are not yet widespread. "It's a chicken-and-egg scenario," said Friedman. "The cost of a new terminal in just one store can be tremendously expensive, especially when this technology is not yet proven as a sure thing."
Another issue is security. A recent survey of Generation X and Y members by research firm Market Platform Dynamics found that more than 60 percent said they wouldn't use contactless fobs or cards because of security concerns. Dave Kudrna, vice president of business development at Dataflo Consulting of Omaha, a data collection technology firm, said contactless cards could embolden identity thieves. "They don't have to hand a stolen card to a cashier or even show it. You walk up and it never leaves your hand. It's far easier than a fake ID."
The security issue revolves around the technology used in contactless cards called radio frequency identification, or RFID. It is used mostly in the warehouse and distribution industry to track goods because of its radio signal that can broadcast widely and at high speeds to track inventory all over a warehouse or store.
The RFID in contactless cards has a far weaker radio frequency, which reaches no more than a few inches from the card reader. And each transaction is encoded with its own special dynamic pass code when connecting with the reader, meaning no one else can pull the number out of the air and use it without the card. "The RFID chips are not broadcasting info but they are providing security to the card," said Friedman. "And if the card is used for anything over $25, the merchant must still take a signature."
And as with any type of credit or debit card, a contactless cardholder is not responsible for unauthorized purchases if the card is lost or stolen.
Hold the deposit envelope
Banks are also introducing advanced ATMs with no-envelope deposits. The benefits: Your receipt shows a copy of your deposited check and the numbers and denominations of deposited cash bills. Plus, you get faster access to deposited funds.
"It's an easier process and there's a greater comfort level because you can see the image of each check on your receipt, said Bank of America spokesperson Betty Reiss. Bank of America has tested 250 of these machines in the Carolinas, Phoenix, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. over the past year and will continue to roll them out nationwide this year and next.
The new ATM technology is expanding rapidly because of the new Federal regulation popularly known as "Check 21", which allows the image of a check to be as legally valid as the check itself. Now when consumers deposit a check, the check image can be electronically transferred to the issuing bank, which will clear the funds in much faster time.
The new machines also quell legal concerns about the one-sided receipts from standard ATMs, because they only reflects information you keyed in on the keypad and fail to legally prove you actually deposited that actual amount.
With the new technology, you don't need to key in an amount. Just insert your money into a slot and the machine sorts, counts and verifies it. The scanned check images and your total deposit amount appear on the ATM screen. You must confirm whether the amount is correct. If not, you can cancel your transaction, and the machine quickly spits out your cash. If you experience a mechanical failure or another problem while making a deposit, the ATM logs a record of your information as well as the machine malfunction.
Like contactless credit card readers, these new ATMs are not cheap to install, but banks are betting they're worth the cost. In its year-long pilot, Bank of America found that the number of new ATM deposits increased an average of 50% per day.
Friedman thinks the new machines will replace the standard ATMs. "Customers are finding it much easier and more convenient. And banks don't make big tech decisions without proven business cases."

There are many experiences prove to me that there's power
lies in the sentence "Ask and you shall receive."
Whenever I know someone is going overseas, I will not
hesitate to ask him to get me one or two bottles of Coca-
cola for my collection. You know what, they are more than
willing to buy for me or even give me for free as gifts.
I even went to the extent of asking for loans during my
difficult times! And of course, I managed to get what I
The examples given here are to show to you the power of
asking. My real life examples are endless.
If you don't ask, people don't know what you are looking
for and therefore, in most cases, you won't get what you
want. It's common sense.
This is what happens to most people. The problem is they
don't ask. If you don't ask, you don't get.
If you dare to ask and if what you ask is within the reach
of the other party, he will give you what you want.
Why most people don't ask?
First of all, they fear rejections. They are worried that
what they ask for will be turned down.
Secondly, they are afraid that they ask the wrong thing
and this makes them look stupid and less intelligent.
And thirdly, they don't even know they can get what they
want just by asking in the first place!
Where can you apply this?
You can ask for what you want in every situation of your
life or business.
In selling, asking plays an important role. You have to
ask for closing which many people afraid to do.
If you want your spouse to do something, just ask for it.
If you want to buy something but you can only afford a
lower price, ask for it. Or you can trade in something for
If you want excellent customer service in a restaurant,
just ask.
If you need help to do something, open your mouth and ask.
Basically, you can apply this in any situation. More often
than not, you'll be surprised what you get just out of
But how do you ask?
1) Know what you want - You can only ask for what you want
only when you know what you want. Set a target figure in
your mind if you are in a business dealing.
2) Be specific - Don't say "Give me a lower price." Say
"I'll offer you $100 instead."
3) Be daring - Ask for something much better than what you
want and you'll get what you want. If you want to buy
something and you are willing to pay $500 for it. Offer the
shop owner that you can only pay $300. Then negotiate from
there to get what you want - $500.
4) Assume that you already get it when you ask - Don't
hesitate and be confident when you ask for what you want.
5) Forget about how people look at you - what is important
is you get what you want. And it's up to the other party to
decide whether your request is reasonable or not. You are
not here to please anybody and to look good.
What's the worst thing that can happen to you when you
ask? You get a 'no'. It's no big deal and you have nothing
to lose when people say 'no.'
But if you don't ask, you'll definitely get a 'no' for it.
By simply applying the steps outlined above, you'll see
that your life will become richer and more exciting.
Remember if you don't ask, you don't get.

Talk:Electric Keet
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Well, here, let's talk about me for a sec.
While I appreciate the little steps to correct strictly necessary format and link issues (the 'contributor' block needed moving but I kept forgetting to do so, and 'Convention staff' really did seem a goofy category) I'm not so sure about your more vague taste-based changes, especially given the errors in them. If you have specific comments about confusing wording, that's one thing, but I'd like to ask you to refrain from style imposition otherwise.
Now... what precisely do you intend by the notion of 'paragraphs rather than bullet points'?
Anyhow, I'll hold off reverting things until we have this hashed out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by tracerj (talk • contribs) .
- First off, please do correct any errors. My intent was to tidy the wording and make it clearer. Clear, readable, reasonably formal are strong elements of the style here.
- For example, I changed "is credited as the designer of many printed publications" to "has designed various printed publications". If you are credited as the designer, presumably you designed (or were one of those who designed) the publications.
- Paragraph rather than bullet points means precisely that: the article should be written in full sentences in paragraphs, not split into sentence fragments and bulleted lists (point form). -- Sine 23:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I can look at the wording. You make an interesting point about the 'has designed' bit, and after I revert I'll fix a couple instances of that. Removing relevant information about the name "Electric Keet" is right out, however. I also must disagree on the issue of lists; where I use them, I think it's clear that the information would be a muddled mess in paragraph format. — Tracerj 23:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

It feels so good to get a warm meal in your stomach on these cold winter days! Yesterday, I was pressed for time but wanted to eat a healthy and easy, hearty meal. I created this vegan sausage stew in the crockpot and served it over rice. This takes about 20 minutes to a half hour to prepare, will serve 6-8 people and is delicious. Give it a shot!
1-2 vegan sausages (any type), sliced
4-5 carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2-3 small potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2-3 small yams, chopped into bite sized pieces
1-2 celery sticks, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 large green, red or yellow pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
I cup of any kind of premade pasta sauce (I used a garlic-roasted blend)
2 – 3 cups water
3 Tbsp Italian spice blend (I used a combo of oregano, thyme and basil)
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
- Prepare above ingredients.
- Place all chopped ingredients into a large crockpot. Add herbs, spices, sauce, water and mix. There should be enough water in your crockpot to reach the top of the ingredients but not cover them. Add more water if necessary.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
- Serve with rice or noodles.

Recently installed Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi revealed today that in late 2016 hackers accessed personal data of approximately 57 million Uber riders and drivers — a hack that previously went undisclosed.
In a blog post, Khosrowshahi wrote that "two individuals outside the company had inappropriately accessed user data stored on a third-party cloud-based service that we use." The individuals were able to access the names and driver's license numbers of around 600,000 drivers in the United States, and personal information of 57 million Uber users worldwide, which "included names, email addresses, and mobile phone numbers." Bloomberg reports that Uber paid the hackers $100,000 to destroy the data and did so without alerting government agencies of the hack.
Khosrowshahi wrote that he was only recently made aware of the incident and said that "effective today, two of the individuals who led the response to this incident are no longer with the company." According to Bloomberg, one of those individuals was chief security officer Joe Sullivan.
"None of this should have happened, and I will not make excuses for it. While I can't erase the past, I can commit on behalf of every Uber employee that we will learn from our mistake," Khosrowshahi wrote.
Khosrowshahi wrote that under his leadership, Uber has taken a number of steps to help affected riders and drivers and increase security measures. Affected drivers will be provided with free credit monitoring and identity theft protection, and the company is working with Matt Olsen, cofounder of cybersecurity consulting firm IronNet Cybersecurity, to outline additional security measures the company can take.
The news comes as Khosrowshahi, who was selected in August to become Uber's new CEO, has sought to redefine the company's "toe-stepping" image. Earlier this month, Khosrowshahi released a new set of Uber's "cultural norms," which include "do the right thing" and "act like owners."
Drivers and riders who want to learn more about the hack and whether they might be affected can click on the links here and here, respectively.
Update, 4:24 p.m. The New York Attorney General's Office has confirmed to VentureBeat that it is investigating the incident.

Skip to 0 minutes and 12 seconds Hi. I'm Rob, from Run Auto Parts. And I'm Fran. We started this business in 2011. I'm an enthusiast of cars, especially European cars. And back then, there wasn't a lot of options if you wanted to source maintenance parts for these sort of vehicles. And I love the technology. So together, we created an online store selling car parts. So we're catering for the needs, for the owners of European cars, typically four or five years old and older than that. And this is because, once these cars are out of the dealer servicing, we can effectively sell exactly the same part as a genuine part, but for, obviously, a much, much cheaper cost.
Skip to 0 minutes and 57 seconds Our typical customer is a do-it-yourself enthusiast type person. There's so much information on YouTube now. You can pretty much learn how to do any service. The thing that makes the website a great tool for them is they can go to it, and I can put their car at the start with a few clicks. And then all the parts they're going to need for a certain job will be displayed straight away. As long as those cars are on the road, they're going to be needing parts. And we'd like to be the company that supplies them. So we started off mainly just in Australia. But now we've expanded to the rest of the world.
Skip to 1 minute and 47 seconds Hi. My name's Julien Cohen. I own MyCraze.com.au.
Skip to 1 minute and 53 seconds So My Craze is an e-commerce retail store. We deal with fashion, street wear, music gear, pop culture, pretty much anything that people are crazy about.
Skip to 2 minutes and 6 seconds So the idea for My Craze is that my partner and I, who's my wife, we'd very much into collecting for a very long time. We love what we buy. We're constantly scouring the world for interesting and great products. The reason I started my business is I've always wanted to do my own thing and really be in control of my future and invest in myself. In the last few years, I worked for a large online retail business and was a buyer, but also working with computers and graphics. The whole photography side of the business, I'd studied that for a while. I realised that I had all the skills to run a business on my own.
Skip to 2 minutes and 54 seconds I think that I've come to a point where I'll never go back to work for anybody ever again.

Run Auto Parts
Run Auto Parts is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of car owners by offering a massive range of European Automotive Parts online.
When launched in 2011, the European Car Parts retail segment was not well serviced online or by the traditional Bricks and Mortar Auto Part Stores, which struggled to offer the large range of parts that customers wanted.
The Run Auto Parts website was developed on an opensource platform. The website's flexible programming capability enabled fast adaption to the changing online landscape.
As popularity for online shopping soared, the business quickly grew and key relationships were developed with distributors. This enabled Run Auto Parts to offer its customers a huge supply of high quality parts at affordable prices.
Run Auto Parts is driven by its customers. With an excellent distribution network throughout Australia and international postage capabilities, it continues to develop into a sophisticated shopping site allowing customers to take control of their cars' servicing needs.

Santee, CA – Join us January 29th from 4-8pm to formally celebrate the release of a beer that holds a special place in our hearts. This beer has been a labor of love since we first brewed it in 2010. Since that time we have grown tremendously and have even moved into our larger current location. When it came time to brew this recipe again, we were all hit with a sense of nostalgia at how far we have come in the past few years, truly allowing us to reflect on the changes and growth that we have achieved.
In revisiting this brew we decided to allow the beer to mature in Tennessee Whiskey barrels. Allowing the beer to age brought out the complex flavor profile, vanilla, warm whiskey spice and molasses. We also took the time to hand dip each bottle in a wax seal, giving this beer the special attention it deserves.
To help celebrate this night in celebration of Serenity we have also invited out Criscito Pizza. Rumor has it they will be creating a special pizza to pair with this epic beer.

The last DTGD challenges were posted yesterday, so this is my last card for the DTGD week. It fits into three of the challenges. If I had read one of the challenges a little more closely, it would have fit into four. But I didn't follow the directions closely enough.
This is a cute new set from Stampin Up. A little tip: Since the stamps are all a solid image in this set, by coloring the stamp with a marker rather than stamping it on an ink pad, I was able to get the look of separate wood boards on the barn.
It's not too late to join in the fun over on Splitcoaststampers. Cards and projects have until Monday, August 8th, to be uploaded into the gallery there. Fun stuff!
Thanks for dropping by today. Have a great weekend.
Stamps: SU Barnyard Buddies and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Papers: PTI Select White and True Black; SU Summer Sun and Cheerful Treat DSP
Inks: SU Chocolate Chip, Basic Black, Old Olive and Real Red; VersaMark
Accessories: Nestabilities Circle Dies, Sunflower Die and Leaf Die; Gingham Ribbon; Raffia; Bee Button; SU Black Buttons; Magic Mesh; Black Embossing Powder
