The new Beach House Cruise collection for 2020 has landed and it truly has something for every woman. Bold prints, fresh florals, classic shapes and new silhouettes you're sure to love.
As always, our focus is on effortless ease. Our latest collection draws inspiration from our customers who are always on-the-go. We designed pieces that can transition from morning beach days to an afternoon out shopping and everything in between. Last season, we added resort wear pieces that were so well-received, we have expanded the collection to include more layering pieces to create a wardrobe of lightweight essentials. New this season, the Lindsay crochet dress can be worn two ways for a versatile cover up option. It's fully lined and lightweight so it can be worn over your swimsuit for a day at the beach or for a nice lunch at the beachside restaurant.
At the forefront of our design process, bold prints are our signature. This season, we've drawn inspiration from our favorite tropical locations from around the world. We hope that when you wear your new Beach House swimsuit, you feel like you're in a beach paradise of your own. From playful designs and a figure-flattering color palette to showing a little skin or staying completely covered up – there's a swimsuit for every mood.
With the new season comes new silhouettes and we're sure you're going to live in them! Show some skin in Poppy, our open back tankini top with a plunging neckline. Stay covered with Rory – a wrap front tankini top with a modesty panel in the front for additional coverage. Ruffled just right, the Tana tankini has a babydoll silhouette that's sweet and flirty. The Audrey is sure to become one of our best-selling silhouettes. With an adjustable drawstring waist, removable soft cups and adjustable straps this top will customize to fit your shape. Best-selling styles are back and better than ever! Breezy and light, the Kerry Mesh Tankini Top is stylish yet supportive. Structured with a twist, the Lucy Underwire Tankini Top is perfect if you'd like additional bust support in your swimwear. Feminine and flattering, the Portia Mesh Layer Tankini is a great choice for beach days.
For our Cruise offering, the color palette is bright and beachy with Aqua and Rosewood being the standout shades of the season. In addition, we've added darker undertones to some of our prints for those who prefer more muted swimwear. The bold prints are classic Beach House – tropical florals, graphic patterns, and stripes with a modern edge.
Customer-favorite bikini bottoms have returned in swoon-worthy shades perfect for an upcoming getaway. A must-have this season is the Kendra High-Waisted Skirt Coverup. Beachy and beautiful, the Avery Swim Shorts can go from beach to boardwalk with ease. Our best-selling swim skirts, Emma and Charlotte are back with more must-have colors. Stay cool this season with must-have bikini bottoms that feature coverage options that suit all shapes.
Allow yourself to dive in and explore our new collection.

You are all probably wondering what's happening in the world of NFPA and Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS, or outside of the U.S.A. commonly referred to as UAV's/Drones), especially since the request for a new standards project was approved at the August 2016 NFPA Standards Council meeting.
Wouldn't it be nice to see what's happening at NFPA, check out industry tools for emergency responders on sUAS, and even take a look at some stuff overseas, all at a glance? Well, see attached the NFPA sUAS Topic Handout just for you. Not just what NFPA is doing, but some really useful tools and information available through other organizations and groups.
Note the standard is still in draft development, subject to change and ballot of the full Technical Committee, and a full public review through NFPA's Standards Development Process (once the draft is completed and approved by the NFPA Standards Council).
Stay tuned and fly safely.

Derek Chung
Environmental Engineering, UCSD '12
"When I started college, I thought global warming was stupid, trees needed to be cut down, and everything ran on the guiding hand of the market," Derek Chung says. The 23-year-old with mussed-up hair is Skyping from a hostel in Malaysia, the 16th country he's passed through during an eight-month "soul search."
By his sophomore year at the University of California, San Diego, Chung had helped found his campus's chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World. But, he says, he initially got involved with the club to pad his resume, "not really to make a sustainable world."
What truly sparked his interest in sustainability was a sophomore-year engineering class whose name he now forgets. (Nor does the class's professor, Sarah Gille, remember Chung. The 200-student Environmental Challenges course "runs the risk of being pretty impersonal," she admits.)
What Chung does remember is the course's term paper, for which he assessed a cow's environmental impact from birth to death. In it, Chung focused on the economics of beef production and concluded that "grass-fed beef is environmentally sustainable but not economically practical." He explains what he learned from that paper in terms of water: Producing a pound of beef requires about 1,800 gallons.
Though Chung grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, the mention of water takes him back to the Grand Canyon, where he vacationed with his family every summer from ages 5 to 14. There, bluegills and guppies nibbled his toes, and baby rattlesnakes eyed him from between boulders. Through the years, he watched the canyon change. Water levels fell. "There used to be thousands of little critters hopping around [the waterfalls], but in later years we either didn't find them or they just weren't there."
When he considered the water footprint of one cow, then scaled that number up to 33 million, which is the number of cows killed in the United States each year, he began to worry: "Maybe the changes are our fault."
After making that calculation, Chung gradually reinvented his lifestyle--though it wasn't all the cows' doing. As he became more active in Engineers for a Sustainable World, he met "people who were so passionate about sustainability that their passion was addictive." He also started dating a vegan.
For most of his life, Chung had eaten meat with every meal. His junior year, he experimented with veganism for two months ("It was really hard"), then went back to eating meat, but only a few times a week. Next he started biking to class--three miles each way. Then he stopped buying new stuff. "It's really lovely and freeing to feel like I don't need any new thing," he says in the midst of crossing two continents with fewer than 12 pounds of possessions.
Later this summer, Chung will meet four fellow Engineers for a Sustainable World members in Thailand to install a student-designed project. The team's hydroelectric generator will power a UV filter to provide 150 families with 720 gallons of clean water per hour.
Sometime after that, Chung will head home, and then he'll . . . he doesn't yet know.

Jessops is about to come back from the grave -- online, anyway. The failed camera chain, alongside HMV and Blockbuster one of the high-profile casualties of the high street's tribulations, is set to relaunch its website.
"The new Jessops website will be launching soon," reads a message at jessops.com, where you can sign up for relaunch updates.
The site also gives contact details if you have a question or complaint related to a problem from before the chain went into administration.
Although branches of Jessops are shuttered to customers, it's possible that future buyers, or administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers, may look to sell off remaining stock either online or in branches.
A number of buyers have bought the Jessops brand and assorted assets. The biggest name to slice off a portion of the failed camera chain is Dragons' Den dragontrepreneur Peter Jones. Jones is already behind online gadget shop Expansys.
Jessops closed its 187 shops a month ago with the loss of nearly 1,400 jobs, heralding a nightmarish couple of weeks in which HMV and Blockbuster also spiralled into administration.
HMV managed to continue trading throughout and will survive with new owners -- but 66 stores will close.
Jessops Photo, the photo service that prints photo books, calendars, cards and other gifts from your snaps, is still open for business. It's being absorbed by printing service CeWe, which has for the past five years provided the behind the scenes operations for Jessops Photo.
Would you use Jessops online? Have you got unfinished business with the camera-flogger? Give me a snapshot of your thinking down in the comments, or on our Facebook page.

Overall Product Rankings
An Overview On Wii Games
The Nintendo Wii is, both literally and figuratively, a game-changing console. The system brought an unprecedented level of physicality to mass-market video games, and it modernized smash-hit Nintendo franchises like "Super Mario Bros." and "The Legend of Zelda." The only hard part about owning a Wii is choosing which game you'll play over the weekend.
Every video game is shaped by its platform, and Nintendo's best Wii games all capitalize on the console's motion technology and groundbreaking controllers. Each player uses a wireless Wii Remote (or "Wiimote"), which communicates with your screen using gesture recognition. Translation: You control the onscreen action with a flip of your wrist.
The best Wii games take advantage of the system's controls in ways that feel natural. "Mario Kart for Wii" is a great example: Instead of hitting a button to make a sharp turn, you can attach a steering wheel for a more on-the-track experience.
"Mario Kart for Wii" is one of the console's most popular titles. It has a massive character roster to choose from, and the 32 unique tracks (with 16 tracks just for the Wii) keeps players guessing at every turn. The Grand Prix, Versus and Time Trial modes are perfect for single players or groups. Battle mode pits drivers against each other in a virtual demolition derby.
The "New Super Mario Bros." is loaded with fresh power-ups. You can slide over long stretches of icy terrain with the Penguin Suit, reach new heights with the Propellor Mushroom and freeze Koopas with the Ice Flower.
For the first time in Mario history, up to four characters can play on the screen at once. You'll blaze through all eight worlds much faster with Luigi and Toad helping you out, then go up against Bowser to save the Princess with time to spare.
"Mario Party" also still ranks as one of the best multiplayer games in Nintendo's history. Players choose a character, then take turns rolling digital dice to move around the board. When they land on a space, they might have to play a minigame or challenge other players. The winner earns stars, and whoever has the most stars at the end of the game wins.
The Wii's "Mario Party 9" was a fun addition to the series, but it was met with some raised eyebrows. The unforgettable main Party Mode screen got a huge facelift: Instead of players moving around the board like analog game pieces, "Mario Party 9" had them all ride together in one cartoon car.
Some players like the change of pace, while others feel that the switch up took away from the game's competitive feel. Regardless, "Mario Party 9" has the minigames and multiplayer madness of its predecessors.
The first "Super Mario Galaxy" game was a smash hit for the Wii, so Nintendo expanded the game's story for a sequel. Mario floats from planet to planet in this 360-degree universe, knocking down Koopa Troopas and kicking Goombas into the stratosphere. The standard "Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach" storyline is intact, but this time Bowser is the size of a planet — and it's up to you to knock him down a peg. Fans love its stunning graphics, nostalgic N64 levels and the return of Yoshi.
Now that you've read our rundown of the Nintendo Wii's smash hit titles, check out our Tips & Tricks to get the most out of your games.
DWYM Fun Fact
The Wii remote was unlike any controller Nintendo had ever created. The wireless, motion-sensor technology created a phenomenal gaming experience. Despite the high-end tech inside the Wiimote, there was one thing that Nintendo couldn't seem to get right: the wrist safety strap.
The first Wiimotes were shipped out with a loose cable that hung around your wrist to stop your remote from flying out of your hand. Plot twist: It didn't work very well. The strap was downright dangerous if it failed during a rousing round of golf or bowling. Customers started complaining, saying the Wiimote was flying out of their hands and cracking their TVs or injuring their fellow players. One woman even brought a class action suit against Nintendo, saying that the Wiimote's faulty strap damaged her 52" TV after flying out of her son's hand.
Nintendo quickly released a second strap that had a plastic slider for a more secure fit, but the problems continued — strike two. Nintendo's third version of the wrist strap had a locking slider, which resolved the issue and let fans get back to their favorite Wii games.
The Wii Game Buying Guide
- Before you buy your game, check and see if your it requires any extra Wii accessories. You don't have to buy the steering wheel accessory for "Mario Kart," but it makes the game a lot more fun.
- Make sure you have enough Wiimotes for friends to come over and join the multiplayer fun. "Mario Party 9" and "Mario Kart" can liven up any get together. You also might want to buy a silicone cover for each Wiimote to protect it from drops.
- Find out how old your players will be before you select a game. Our top four picks have content that's appropriate for all ages, but very young children might get frustrated by fast-paced games like "Mario Kart for Wii". A slower-paced game, like "Mario Party 9," will cause less frustration.
- The Wii comes bundled with a second controller called the Nunchuk. It connects to the Wiimote via a small cable, and its joystick and trigger buttons will help your characters move more precisely. If you buy extra Wiimotes for multiplayer blowouts, you might need to buy Nunchuks.
- Always loop the strap at the bottom of the Wiimote around your wrist before playing. Make sure it's securely fastened with a close fit by shortening the strap with its plastic slider. The Wiimote can fly out of your hand if you forget to tighten the strap, putting you at risk for broken windows and damaged controllers.
- The Wii's motion-sensor controls make it downright addictive, but make sure you stop and take breaks during long gaming sessions. The repetitive motions can irritate tendons in your wrist, and learning to play with your opposite hand is more trouble than it's worth.
- Storing your Wii games in their cases instead of placing them on the TV or a table will prevent scratches that damage your game. You can also wipe down your Wii games with a clean, damp cotton cloth. Make sure you use straight strokes and wipe from the inner rim to the outer rim.

Hello everyone, I've received a lot of help with Calc here in the past and I'm considering moving over to Base.
At the moment I use calc as an inventory keeper for my online record store. Every distributor invoice I get is converted to a calc sheet, and I work out the sales price and then add a column for items sold. When I sell an item I cmd+h the catalogue number/title and add 1 to the items sold column. Once the items sold column matches the items received column I stop selling the item. I now have 300 sheets in my calc file and probably 15,000 items in my garage and it's getting a little hard to manage.
Each sheet of my calc file has a different layout. Some pages are itemID/artist/title/quantity/cost/price some are quantity/artist & title/item ID/cost/ price etc.
-Do I need to reformat the calc file so everything is in the same order with the same fields on every sheet?
Should the inventory database table I build containing this information be 300 separate tables or 1 table with the data from 300 sheets inserted into it?
-the only way I found to import this info is via the copy and paste feature. I would prefer to import the entire file rather than copy and paste 300 times if possible.
The most common error from doing this manually is that I had 10 copies in stock and have sold 9 but failed to list the 10th for sale. Or I had 10 copies in stock have sold 10 but still have the item listed for sale.
-My sales data and current for sale items data is available as CSVs from the 3rd party websites I commonly sell on. So I need to cross reference these sales/items for sale with my inventory spreadsheet. Is Base suitable for this?
Some facebook friends have warned me base may crack under large loads of items.
I have approx 300 sheets in the calc file with approx 100 lines each, so 30,000 lines of items (many are duplicates when an item is reordered). My main sales/inventory CSV contains approx 25,000 "sales" and 5000 "listed for sale" items. This is approx 2 years worth of business.
Solutions I'm looking for:
primarily stock keeping. as mentioned above making sure I list items for sale that I have in inventory. Dont list items for sale that I don't.
Ideally base will spit out a CSV of these errors using item IDs that will allow me to upload to the 3rd party website using their "delete all" or "add all" feature.
stop adding sold items manually but upload a CSV for the days sales with that info in it. or a total sales sheet if that makes more sense.
accounting queries such as speed of turnover on stock from different distributors or artists so that I make more informed purchasing decisions.
Thanks for any help!

Hi all,
I'm using rpi-tc based on debian and looking to use pi's as thin clients. The hostname defaults to rpitc on this build. I am looking for a way to set this dynamically on boot to the MAC address of the machine so I can drop the same image down on all and create a unique hostname without extra effort.
Any ideas on how to do this? Is there a variable I can put in the hostname file that it can read?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may have had their heart set on the Palace of Versailles for their wedding, but it simply is not happening. It can only be expected that West would make sure his wedding to Kardashian is the extravaganza of the year, or maybe the century.
Last year reports claimed the 36-year-old music star was planning to have the ceremony at the former French royal palace outside Paris. Earlier this week, he and his fiancée visited the palace and Kardashian shared a photo on Instagram of the two on the grounds.
"Kanye has never been married and wants a big [wedding]," a source told Us Weekly last year. "They are not working with a budget."
Maybe West was trying to one-up Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries, after the two had a $10 million televised wedding in California.
But the Versailles spokesperson shut down the rumors, tweeting on Tuesday, "On 19th January @KimKardashian and @kanyewest visited the Palace of Versailles but they are not planning their wedding at the Palace."
As of late, West has been gushing about his fiancé. "I have never loved any girl, other than my mother, as much as I love my girlfriend," he said in October, during an interview with San Francisco radio station KMEL. "I just feel so blessed." The couple have been dating since 2012, though they have known each other for around a decade. They now have a 7-month-old daughter, North West.
West proposed to his girlfriend of 18 months on her 33rd birthday in October. The usually private rapper showed his love for the reality star in a huge way, renting out AT&T Park in San Francisco.
In front of her family and friends, West had a 50-piece orchestra play Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful," before playing his own hit song "Knock Me Down." After the performance, the words, "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEEE!!!! [sic]" appeared on the scoreboard screen, and after Kardashian said yes, there were fireworks, and her family came out of the dugouts to celebrate the amazing moment with her.
Kardashian was more than happy to say "yes," later telling E! News, ""Last night was truly magical!!! I am the luckiest girl in the world! I get to marry my best friend!"

It doesn't require any evidence to prove to state that one of the major challenges of ecommerce companies in India is 'conversions'. From the game starting, by acquiring customers at high marketing costs and discounts, e-tailers by their experience understand the importance of data analytics and conversion mapping, but still lag behind to target the right audience.
To solve this problem, a Bangalore based startup NudgeSpot has developed a product which helps e-tailers take live feeds from their Google analytics account and provide targeted campaigns and promotions to convert casual browsers or potential customers to buyers.
From the experiences of NudgeSpot team, it is noted that the buying cycle of various categories differ drastically. For example, a customer looking to buy electronics might complete its purchase cycle in longer time rather than the customer looking to buy cosmetics. So understanding what a consumer is looking for, may help in providing personalized offers and perks to make a successful conversion.
NudgeSpot believes that it is a waste to collect data analytics if future intelligence and operations aren't based upon them, and this is what they are trying to achieve through their product.
When a user lands on a particular e-tailing website, NudgeSpot analyses the past activity of the user on the website, and accordingly targets the customer with right promotion, coupons and offers to add an excitement and urge to buy.
Currently the company has developed retargeting through promotions, coupons, ads, and is planning to extend the offering to product feeds, through which a more personalized experience can be created.
The key applications of Nudgespot tool include Cross Selling, Upselling, preventing shopping, cart abandonment, targeting customer segments, information sharing, A/B testing offers.
Its founder, Suresh Harikrishnan believes that Indian market lacks such solutions and says the competition is with companies such as Marketo, Kissmetrics etc, globally.
Suresh claims some of their clients are witnessing upto 5x increase in conversions after using NudgeSpot, which might be a brave statement to media.
Marketers consider retargeting as one of the most important way to convert sales which otherwise might have been lost, and the concept works better with more information about the potential customers.
Unlike NudgeSpot which is restricted to on-site retargeting of offers, there are additional complementary ways for e-commerce players to get a lost transaction back to the site through social media, and adwords.

I remember the conversation like it was yesterday. He rang me up with some exciting news, "I've got some exciting news!".
"Yes?" I said, thinking he's done some brilliant deal with a major client, or someone wanted to invest or buy us out, or something.
"I've tracked down the owners of that domain name, and they are willing to sell it for around $150,000, but I reckon I can get them lower!"
My heart sank. This was the good news? Amazingly, he went off and bought the domain name, for something under this price (but not far under) from some real estate agents in Iowa (I kid you not) who must have thought their boat had come in.
I was reminded of this story when the Iowa caucus vote came in the other day; which is the official start of the ever running saga that is the US Presidential race. Iowa, the field of dreams, home of one of my favourite authors (Bill Bryson), place of Tornados, the world's largest strawberry (I am not making this up) and birthplace of Herbert Hoover, John Wayne and Glenn Miller.
And one very lucky real estate husband and wife team. But not my erstwhile business associate, who went under within 12 months of the deal he struck with them.
A good domain name is useful, but surely Google, Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and many others have proved that the domain name in itself does not a business make. Essentially, to have a successful business that lasts, you need to continually solve problems for customers such that they will pay you for doing so. If you can also wrap this all up with genuinely great customer service, and adjust your offering as their needs change, then you may be in business. Sounds easy, but it's actually quite hard. Mainly because it involves selling (and listening, and thinking, and WORKING!). What my former associate forgot was that buying things is easy (anyone can go out and buy things), but selling… well that's something else entirely.

Is TrueTwit losing you followers?
I love twitter, I think micro-blogging is a fantastic invention, and it has created a whole industry of software, experts and advisers around it. Fantastic! However, of all the tools created that help you manage your twitter account(s), I just do not see the point of TrueTwit – worse, I find it annoying!
For the uninitiated, TrueTwit is a validation tool you can sign-up to use to ensure that anyone following you on twitter is a real person. This is done using a popular technique called Captcha, where you are prompted to enter some words that are displayed obscurely, rendering them virtually impossible to be interpreted by anything other than a human. Only once you have done this correctly will you be able to follow a twitter user who is subscribed to TrueTwit.
I have a real issue with this, to the point where I have now become very selective about who I choose to follow that is subscribed to TrueTwit. I use the twitter app on my mobile a lot and when I try to follow a TrueTwit subscriber I'm redirected to my mobile web browser, and it just kind of all grinds to a halt. Unless I know I really need to follow that individual, at this point I just don't bother.
Secondly, what exactly is the point of TrueTwit? Please enlighten me! Why should I care if anyone following me is a real person or not? After all, I do not get to see the twitter stream of my followers unless I choose to follow them back, and similarly they cannot send me direct messages unless I have followed them back. A twitter follower who is not a real person does nothing other than up my follower numbers, so why should I mind?
Unless TrueTwit starts to work in reverse, in being able to stop me from following people who aren't real, then I really cannot see a reason to start using it. So if you are a real person and would like to follow me on twitter, then you can be assured of a TrueTwit-free experience. Similarly I will likely follow you back providing you look like a real person and are also TrueTwit-free.
Please share your thoughts, especially those of you who use TrueTwit.

About The Author
Philip Wattis
A lifetime Brummie & Startup Mentor with several ventures under his belt. Phil has a infectious enthusiasm for fledgling businesses that easily hides an ability to cut to the chase in identifying what works, what doesn't, and translating ideas into viable businesses.
Couldn't agree more. TrueTwit just hasn't been thought out at all, though I like the idea of the reverse scenario – I should work on that;-).
Folks, please let's be clear: You are not subjected to the timeline of anyone YOU are not FOLLOWING (unless you have added that person to a LIST but not followed them).
If it bothers you that anyone can see your timeline by searching for you or following you, or putting you in a list, then all you have to do to make your Twitter experience less social is go to SETTINGS / TWEET PRIVACY and check the box 'Protect my tweets'. This will ensure that ONLY your followers can see your tweets from that point forward.
Think twice about how much you care though. If you are a business or organisation, I suggest you DON'T protect your tweets or the whole point of Twitter is lost. If you are a private individual just using Twitter to microblog with friends whom you want to be in control of finding – fair enough.
Basically, using TrueTwit is just an exercise in online paranoia. You can still BLOCK spammers and bots through the Twitter BLOCK and REPORT functions, and you are always in control of who YOU FOLLOW. So you really don't need TrueTwit and as Phil rightly points out – using it is costing you REAL and valuable FOLLOWERS!
So calm down 'eh;-)
Good point Vik about your timeline being public anyway. TrueTwit does not even serve to up your level of privacy.
I gave up taking eye tests when spammed by TruTwit (ed sic) and the more I checked into it I realised how useless it was as using simple tools like TwitCleaner gave me the choice to stop Following spammers.
I encourage everyone to abandon using it and amazing as it may seem often folks don't even remember signing up for it in the first place AND don't realise what a turn off it can be for new Followers.
One of my colleagues has a post from last year on the same subject
Thanks for your comments Ian, a convert! I'm yet to hear from any TrueTwit users as to why they are using it. Interesting that you say that they may have forgotten, this may well be the case I guess!
Have to agree, Philip. I find TrueTwit a little annoying and can't really see the point of it; as you say, you're still in control of whose feeds you view, and who can DM you and it does not prevent spamming by @message, so not sure of the good reason for it. I too now have to have a really good reason to follow someone using TrueTwit or I just won't bother.
Glad you like the blog post Claire and thanks for taking the time to comment. Since writing the blog I have now reached the point whereby I do not validate through TrueTwit and simply choose to not follow that person.
I had hoped for some comments on people using TrueTwit to maybe explain why they use it – enlighten us all, but alas no.
I agree with the points you make about this. I always look at the info of each new person following me, and if they are a spammer/ not a real person, you can tell by either their url (usually some porn site), the fact they have tweeted 1000 people the same odd comment, the fact they have no followers and never tweeted etc. I had to verify using True Twit yesterday and it was irritating.
The one time my account was almost hacked, it was by a real person, a 'friend' who had themselves been hacked and the hacker had used their account to message their followers with a dodgy link, claiming to expose 'bad things written about you' etc.
Thanks for your comments Ant. Glad you found the article informative. Interesting point about the hacked account, since TrueTwit doesn't protect against that, as you have implied.
The main reason I started using TrueTwit (apart from bot blocking) was to stop me receiving the validation messages!… because as a TT account holder you are of course automatically verified… theoretically if most people had a TT account the validation messages would not appear, unless caused by a bot/spammer etc. TrueTwit seemed to be more popular a while back, so it sort of worked for me at the time. Recently there seems to have been dwindling use of TT and a backlash against it. If the general consensus now is that TT is more trouble than it's worth, i'll stop using it, simple as that… I've actually removed it from a couple of my accounts, so I'll be interested to see if TT has had a significant effect. 🙂
Thanks for your comments Laurie. Please let us know how you get on with the accounts you remove TrueTwit from. (and thanks for the note about the html!)
Thank you all for your comments. The whole TT thing has been bothering me as I have been having trouble getting past 1320 followers. I get up there and then a small drop off and repeat. Now I just have to figure out how to drop TT. A2E
Hi Eric, glad you found the article useful. I'm afraid I can't advise you on how to remove TrueTwit, but wish you the best of luck!
how do i eliminate TT. it has lost me many people……
I've never used TT personally, but I think you have made a good choice to remove it. I'd recommend doing a Google or contact them directly.
Spambots do not even need to do that. Truetwit is a barrier to people (or spambots) following you, however only people YOU FOLLOW can send you direct messages, so no protection there, and you don't need to follow someone to tweet at them either. Unless there is some other reason for avoiding spambots from following you, Truetwit serves little purpose in my opinion.
I find Truetwit incredibly annoying, and surely the whole point of promoting yourself on Twitter is to make it easy for people to follow you?!
I agree Kevin. I think people sign up to TrueTwit for all the wrong reasons.
How enlightening! I'd never heard of Truetwit until today when I received a DM from someone I thought I was following already. How rude! Most Tweeters are only too happy to be followed – it's a compliment after all. The individual who sent me the Truetwit DM will not be followed by me that's for sure.
Thanks for your comment Juliette. I'm not sure I'd class it as rude, but it's certainly misguided.

2014 Federation of Private Medical Practitioners' Associations, Malaysia
The Federation of Private Medical Practitioners Associations of Malaysia (FPMPAM) has received several reports alleging that some private hospitals, MCOs and third party payers may have policies or directives that contravene the Code of Professional Conduct (Code) of the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC).
As in a recent case, a doctor was sacked by the Management of a private hospital when he reported the wrongdoings of the hospital to the MMC. The said doctor then sued the hospital for wrongful termination. The court subsequently found the hospital had acted wrongfully in the said case.
The Private Health Care Facilities and Services Act (PHFSA) require all private healthcare facilities board of management to comply with the requirements of the MMC's Code. The provisions in the PHFSA include, among others:
|(a) a change in the powers of the registered medical practitioner or dental practitioner over the medical or dental management of patients as vested in paragraph 78(a)…
(d) the contravention of the code of ethics of any professional regulatory body of the medical, dental, nursing or midwifery profession …"
Similarly, all doctors practising in private hospitals and other private healthcare facilities are required to comply with the MMC's Code, its guideline Duties of a Doctor, comprising Good Medical Practice and Confidentiality, and the MMC's other guidelines.
Section 2.2.2 of the MMC's Code states "A practitioner may not improperly disclose information which he obtained in confidence from or about a patient."
Section 3.2 of Good Medical Practice states "In the final analysis, good medical practice dictates that the doctor must exert all in his powers to preserve patient confidentiality. The information that the doctor has come to possess is, in the first place, through the patient's voluntary revelations and consent to submit to physical examination and diagnostic investigative procedures. It is the patient's belief that such information will be kept private and used solely for his benefit."
The duty of confidence is enunciated in detail in the MMC's document Confidentiality. The doctor still has an obligation to keep personal information confidential after a patient dies.
The FPMPAM calls on all parties to always ensure that patients' rights and interests are paramount and desist from policies and/or directives that contravene the MMC's Code.
The FPMPAM will support all necessary action by doctors who refuse to enter into such contracts that may result in them breaching the law. This will include seeking legal recourse to support doctors who have been victimised because they have refused such contracts.
We urge that all such contracts be forwarded to the Medical Practice Division, Ministry of Health for vetting and for record as required by PHFSA.

The beep on my cellphone woke me up at 5:50 Sunday morning.
"Golf tournament canceled.''
That the organizers hadn't made the call the night before gives you some insight into the eternal optimism of weekend golfers who always swear the really heavy stuff won't come down for several hours. All the forecasters had promised Sunday would be a washout.
At any rate, I was now wide awake. I opened the front door to let Alfie out. He looked up at me and retreated to the couch. I made a mad dash to the newspaper, which was soaked.
No big deal. Our carrier almost always gets it right, so rather than call for a new paper I just drove down to Walgreens. Only a few days earlier we had left Boulder, Colo. enveloped in smoke from nearby wildfires. Folks there would kill for our rain, I thought as I prepared some coffee.
This would be a good day to do nothing.
By midafternoon, the rain showed no sign of easing. Water collected in the side yard, then found its way under the door to the garage. In 30 years, we've had this happen only a few times. The solution: put down some towels and newspapers. But this time, the water rushed in and threatened some wood furniture.
We swept and put more towels down, barely slowing the flow. A neighbor mentioned the Pasco Sheriff's Office was distributing sandbags. Without thinking it through, I hopped in my Honda Accord and took off for what is usually a 10-minute trip.
Big mistake.
The first sign of trouble came at the corner of State Road 52 and Little Road. Three drivers abandoned compact cars that had died when they hit standing water. This seemed bad enough, and then I headed south on Little Road and saw the same scene repeated at three other intersections.
What was I thinking? On the radio, an announcer seemed to scream at people like me: STAY OFF THE ROADS! All over the Tampa Bay region, emergency crews were responding to stranded motorists.
I approached Ridge Road. It would be just another half-mile. But at the intersection, a sheriff's cruiser parked in the middle of the six-lane highway, now under water.
Forget the sandbags. I just wanted to get back home. I cut through the Home Depot parking lot and headed west on four-lane Ridge. I figured if I could get to U.S. 19, I'd be okay. Surely a highway that big wouldn't be flooded.
I still don't understand how my little Honda survived either Ridge or 19. A foot of rain in less than 10 hours had made them both more suitable to boats.
Back home we bailed and swept water from the garage, but mainly we worried as the little creek out back grew into a lake. During Hurricane Elena in 1985, Bear Creek came up under our kids' swing set and a small alligator paid us a visit. But the water never really threatened our house.
Today I'm not so sure, even after a relatively dry Monday and Tuesday. The creek keeps inching up. It's a common story throughout West Pasco, especially near the Anclote and Pithlachascotee rivers, where helpless homeowners are evacuating.
Some of them told our reporters they stayed put during Elena and the more notorious No Name Storm of March 1993. They never thought a relatively small weather system many miles to the north would have such a disastrous effect.
This storm named Debby has earned a dubious place in our history, even as hurricane season is just getting started.

Breweries have been popping up around Charlottesville like mushrooms after a rain. About a dozen beer producers are now located within an easy drive from town. But curiously, only four breweries are actually located within the city's limits: Champion, South Street, Three Notch'd and—the newest addition in September—Random Row.
In the middle of a regional beer boom, a new city regulation on breweries was slipped into a zoning regulation change last winter. Nobody seems to know whose idea it was, but it was would-be brewer Julie Harlan who first noticed that new microbreweries within Charlottesville will have to derive at least 25 percent of their revenue from on-site retail sales.
In August 2012, Harlan bought an almost 1,500-square-foot foreclosed home on Forest Street for the shockingly low sum of $17,700, which allowed her to purchase the property with cash. Located a few blocks from Bodo's Bagels on Preston Avenue, it is zoned B-3, which is a flexible zoning status that allows for use as either residential or commercial purposes.
"I was looking down the list of zoning options and microbrewing was on the list," says Harlan. "My niece had gone to Piedmont and studied viticulture and she suggested brewing. …I would take care of the business and we could have a small, woman-owned nanobrewery. …It seemed like a good idea because everything I read about the Virginia laws seemed like they were going in the direction of less regulation."
The 25 percent requirement was tacked on to a change in law that Three Notch'd Brewing Company requested. Previously, breweries within Charlottesville were limited to a 15,000-barrel annual cap for production. As Three Notch'd has won fans both locally and around the region for its inventive range of beers, demand has increased beyond the 15,000-barrel limit and the company was concerned about possibly having to relocate outside of the city. Its owners asked that the limit be raised to 30,000 barrels, and the city agreed.
Three Notch'd's management team realized they would need the increase as they prepared to move into a new, larger space at the IX Art Park that will include an outdoor beer garden and an event area (they will maintain their existing space in the old Monticello Dairy on Grady Avenue for storage and production).
"When we were contemplating the move it was necessary to ensure that we wouldn't be regulated in terms of the amount of barrels we can produce," says Scott Roth, president of Three Notch'd Brewing Company. "The city was very understanding and took a good look at the code and understood the need for a few changes."
"We have been busting at the seams in our current location and wanted to find a more permanent home where we could focus on maximizing our production facility without being so hindered by space constraints," Roth says. Three Notch'd's new presence at IX will include "food and beer in a relaxing atmosphere that is comfortable for everyone, including families."
But the changes aren't settling well with everyone seeking to become part of the beer industry. The new 25 percent requirement has given Harlan pause and may scuttle her plans to open Charlottesville's fifth brewery (C'ville-ian Brewery closed in October after two years in business). To start, she doesn't understand how it would be enforced.
"Are the sales net or gross?" she asks. "I'm also worried, would we be pushing beer to make the 25 percent? Like, we'd be looking at the clock thinking we would like to close now but we haven't made our 25 percent. …There's no clear guidelines. How do you report it? What if you don't make your 25 percent quota? Is there a penalty? Is it a zoning violation? Do they shut you down? …I couldn't find anyone who could give me any reason behind the 25 percent, which would help me understand where they were going with it."
Brian Haluska, principal planner for the City of Charlottesville, has a few answers.
"The rationale for the 25 percent requirement is that if we are permitting these facilities in our commercial and mixed-use districts, they need to incorporate a 'front door' that contributes to the activity on the street," says Haluska. "Our commercial and mixed-use districts are intended to have activity at the street level. The fear was that without some sort of on-site sale requirement, a microproducer could locate in the commercial or mixed-use zone, have no on-site sales, and have all of their beverages leaving on trucks out of the back. That is a bottling facility—which we allow, just not in the commercial and mixed-use zones."
Andrew Sneathern, former assistant commonwealth's attorney in Albemarle County who is now in private practice specializing in alcohol-related law, says the likelihood of a company being a bottling-only facility is small.
"The costs of being in the city of Charlottesville versus, say, Waynesboro, for example, would be completely disparate," he says. "I think you could probably pick up for about $3 a square foot in Waynesboro for a bottling facility. In Charlottesville you couldn't come anywhere near that, so the chance of that happening is extremely small."
Nor does Haluska's concern make a lot of sense to Hunter Smith, owner of Charlottesville's Champion Brewery and co-chair of the Government Affairs Committee for the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild.
"Any brewer would tell you that you would be nuts not to have the retail component," says Smith. "If you're going to have some retail component, chances are it will be a large portion of your sales early on. It's as you grow that it becomes of concern."
Real estate and rent in Charlottesville are so expensive that it would not typically make economic sense for someone to open a facility that only brews and bottles without selling retail. Such a facility could easily be opened in another county with cheaper land and closer access to a highway, like Devils Backbone's outpost in Rockbridge County.
Breweries have a special legal status under Virginia state law. Most businesses that serve alcohol are required to sell a certain amount of food as well. You can't legally open a business that is only a bar in Virginia—it also has to be a restaurant. But breweries can sell their own beer at the same site where they brew without being required to offer food.
And those on-site sales are something that small to mid-sized breweries value. A beer sold directly from the brewery keeps all of the profit in-house. All beer sold to other restaurants or retailers is required under state law to pass through a third-party distributor and then to the point of sale. Each business needs to make a profit and marks up the beer along the way. Normally, a small Virginia brewery will sell as much beer as possible through its own pub and distribute the rest for a lower profit per pint. According to Smith, a pint of beer sold to a thirsty brewpub patron typically provides about five times more profit to the brewer than the same pint sold through a distributor.
"The reason to have a business in Charlottesville is the great retail potential," says Smith. "So this is solving a problem that doesn't exist."
Smith agrees with Harlan that the 25 percent requirement could scare new breweries away from Charlottesville, but he disagrees about the point in a brewery's development that this would happen. Champion has grown from producing 500 barrels per year when it opened in December 2012 to 10,000 barrels per year in 2016. In fact, they opened the Missile Factory, a 7,000-square-foot facility with a 15,000-barrel capacity, in Woolen Mills in 2014 to keep up with distribution demand.
"Here we are in year four and [Champion is] opening multiple extra states for wholesale distribution. It's going to be hard for my 1,500-square-foot taproom to keep up with my multimillion-dollar wholesale business," Smith says. "The long-term situation is that it could disincentivize someone from locating in Charlottesville in the first place if they are going to be hamstrung down the road."
While a quality product and good marketing can dramatically expand the distribution of a brewery's products, the brewpub located at the brewery can't make more people walk in to have a drink. In fact, it is illegal under state law for them to try.
"It is illegal to advertise specifically alcohol or prices on alcohol because of the ABC [Alcoholic Beverage Control]," says Smith. ABC regulations, some of which date back to the era immediately following Prohibition, prevent businesses that retail alcohol from promoting their prices or doing certain other things that could encourage people to drink beer.
"So if you find yourself in a pinch on that regulation, it is hard to go out and drum up more business," says Smith. "I can't just go make more people to drink beer here."
A local business might actually have to turn down orders for its beer if it is unable to increase on-site sales to 25 percent of the new total in revenue. This is deliberate.
"One of the chief concerns from the Planning Commission was how much truck traffic would these uses generate, especially with some of our commercial zones being close to residential neighborhoods," says Haluska. "So, in addition to the desire to see retail sales in the microproducers, the 25 percent on-site sales rule would limit the volume of shipments."
Haluska does not know who initially requested that a 25 percent minimum retail sales requirement be added to the city's zoning regulations along with the production increase to 30,000 barrels annually. Smith, heavily involved with the Craft Brewers Guild, says he had not been consulted on or made aware of the proposal. The craft brewing industry currently provides about 8,900 jobs in Virginia, according to the guild.
Sneathern thinks there might be some unintended consequences of the 25 percent requirement. "It may be that a real microbrewery might have to extend its hours in order to meet that requirement," he says. "If they had to stay open later [in order to raise their on-site sales to 25 percent of sales] and they're in a neighborhood like Belmont where there are residential neighbors, it would probably impact those neighbors. When I practiced law in Belmont I was on Douglas Avenue, and I remember distinctly a number of neighbors being bothered by what was going on after the zoning changes happened in Belmont. Noise issues and people being out intoxicated late at night and everything that goes along with that."
Harlan wouldn't want her imagined brewery to stay open late.
"I could foresee doing a tasting room as part of the brewery, but if we got busy we might just want to do contract brewing," she says. "Our goal is not to get bigger and bigger. We were not looking for the requirement for the hours to be open to the public. Staying open at night is not something we want to do."
Breweries that distribute their beer to local restaurants have to walk a fine line by selling beer through a tap room but not appearing to compete with their customers.
"You don't want to be open till 2am like they are," Smith says about bars, "trying to steal their alcohol business and competing with them. We are in the tourism and tasting business, not in the bar or restaurant business."
But Smith is actually planning to make that leap. At the November 5 Top of the Hops beer festival, Smith announced plans to open the first-ever brewery on the Downtown Mall.
"We intend to sell all the beer produced there, right there," says Smith. "The business model is to sell 100 percent of the beer retail. We'll be opening the first brewery on the Downtown Mall. It will be a new category for us to get into."
Smith's new brewery will offer different varieties of beer that are currently unavailable at Champion and it will be combined with a restaurant, a joint venture with Wilson Richey. Under Charlottesville's new 25 percent rule for microbreweries, Champion can get to the 25 percent by selling anything retail, including food. But the restaurant/brewery combination is a risk that most brewers aren't comfortable taking.
"The inherent risk of the restaurant business is higher," says Smith. "In a restaurant you are being judged on so many other criteria. You're getting out of your wheelhouse so you can grow the business you are good at. It's like you would have to get better at hockey so you can play basketball. It just doesn't make sense."
Three Notch'd's Roth isn't worried about the 25 percent minimum.
"They are focused on providing a healthy combination of retail and interactive space for the city of Charlottesville," he says, "while also providing the breweries with what they need in terms of barrel limits to succeed. …If you really dive into the numbers, the 25 percent requirement should not prove to be overly daunting."
Harlan plans to tear down the single-family house currently on her lot and replace it with a new building that she designed herself. Right now she's considering erecting a duplex on the site, and says parking requirements for a brewery also factored into her decision to table that business venture.
"The rules are pretty clear for anyone looking to open a facility in the city," says Haluska. "If the sales to distributors start to rise, then those businesses need to consider how to accommodate that expansion in production—if a second site is necessary in a zone that permits a standalone bottling plant or whether to relocate to a zone that permits small breweries."
What neither Harlan, Sneathern nor Smith understand is exactly why the city would need to limit breweries in a situation where the price of real estate already seems to be doing that. Is there something undesirable about having a brewing industry in Charlottesville?
"You have the idea of some old Guinness building with rats and the spent grain and labor strikes and things like that," says Smith, invoking the images of American breweries from the gilded age of the late 1800s. "In 2016 it's an irrelevant concern."

Glad to see Hawkers Market back for another year of food, music and fun! (Previous posts here and here.) If you've never heard of Hawkers Market, it's basically a warehouse party/rave mashed up with a farmers market/street food festival.
Lotta photos and less words in this time 😀
As usual, the lanterns. Great way of adding pizzazz to the space.
Really like the new warehouse location. More room, less cramped. I love the addition of more tables to eat at. No more balancing food, plates and a drink! The volunteers were on the ball too, clearing tables, emptying garbage, etc.
Another view of the space.
Fliptop Filipino Fusion Truck at the back door.
On the street out front, we had Candy Meister Van…
…and Super Thai Food.
Hey, the same DJ is back! I finally found out who he was…DJ Cito. His track selection was pretty good. Had me dancing, but AGAIN Vancouverites are uptight about dancing… Haven't we all learned from Footloose?!
Soundtrack time:
This was one of my favourite tracks that the DJ played: Alan Braxe & Fred Falke "Intro", which samples The Jets "Crush on You". This record came out 14 years ago! Still one of my favourites, especially the B-side "Most Wanted".
Here's the founder of Hawkers Market, Chris Jerome. I love what he's doing with this market. He's also brought this event to Edmonton and Calgary too!
Now, THIS is what we were here for. Font is nice and all but VERY hard to read. It says "1 for $5, 2 for $8".
This is a local take on Dominique Ansel's Milk and Cookie Shot. You might know Ansel as being the creator of the cronut, of which we also have a local version called the "frissant", courtesy of Swiss Bakery.
These "cookie cups" were made by Livia Sweets. Some cookies had a bit more colour than others. We chose one with lots of colour 😉
Livia Sweets also had Rosewater Glazed Pistachio Cakes…
…Stout Caramel Chocolate Cookies…
…and Salted Caramel Hazelnut Brownies. Wilma tried a sample and LOVED IT. We were kicking ourselves for not buying their stuff to go (as a late night snack, of course).
Livia Sweets teamed up with Nuez Organic Nut Milk to do the cookie and milk shot.
Really clean-tasting stuff.
We chose the Cacao Hazelnut milk to go with the cookie shot.
I had to take the first nibble.
It's really fun/strange/odd to drink from and eat your cup. The chocolate layer was a bit thick, especially towards the bottom. Not as clean and refined-looking as Ansel's original, but totally tasty. I'd eat it again!
I saw this guy in front of the Three Feet Below table and thought his shirt was really fun and funny…a German overall type thing. Then I walked around some more and saw:
Okayyyyyy, I get it now! These guys are Brezel Twist and they make twisted German pretzels. That girl is actually from Germany. Super nice and I hope their new business takes off.
They do pretzel buns…
…and twists. IMHO $4.50 for one pretzel twist is a bit much. I'd be much more comfortable buying 2 for $5 or something like that.
I'm not big on nuts and seeds in my bread, so I got the original.
Not bad. Eating it on its own is a bit bland…might've needed more pretzel salt on the outside. It was screaming out for mustard or a cheese dip! They really should sell a housemade mustard or something. These guys will be at the Richmond Night Market all summer, so check them out if you're curious!
Hot damn, a new Singaporean option! Rickshaw Foods.
Wilma chose the Curry Chicken on Ginger Rice.
My take: the rice was a bit mushy, but the gentle ginger flavour was nice. The curry was mild but tasty. Wilma's take: nice, flavourful curry. Slow heat buildup. Not too coconutty. Ginger rice complemented the curry really well. Not spectacular, but we welcome a new Singaporean option to our local food scene. I hope they move onwards and upwards!
Now for MY food 🙂 If you haven't heard of This Sandwich That Beer (TSTB) blog, you must check it out. It's one of the few blogs that talk about food AND beer together. I was really looking forward to having this guy's first crack and making his OWN sandwich.
That must be Kevin Wood, the guy behind TSTB. He was busy ALL night, frying up slices of heavenly pork belllllaayyyyyyy.
The housemade roasted tomato jam. That jam was slammin'!
Uhhhhggg, look at that.
And a bit of arugula on top. Paired with 33 Acres of Life (California Common/Steam Beer).
I won't mince words. The excellent fillings were let down by the baguette. I'm not gonna say who made the baguette…you could easily find out if you really wanted to. There was way too much bread in proportion to filling. It really masked what would otherwise have been a great sandwich. The bread, judged as a baguette, really sucked. Felt like Safeway/Subway level of bread with its negligible crust and bland homogenous flavour. It would've been interesting to try a banh mi type of bread instead, or even a Portuguese bun…or maybe double the amount of pork for this amount of bread. Or toast this baguette a bit to get some textural contrast going.
Very fair price for beers!
Finally got to try 33 Acres new beer, 33 Acres of Sunshine, their Belgian witbier. Citrusy, tangy wheat, light body, refreshing. Perfect for the good weather we've been having.
So we started with dessert, now we're gonna finish with more dessert! Brown Paper Packages did their "Adult Sundae Bar" at previous Hawkers Market events, but this time they brought out their ice cream sandwiches. Probably a lot less work for them 😛
Wilma chose this, which appeals to her Southeast Asian tastes.
Brown paper!
It was frozen solid, so we let it sit for a little while to soften.
Ah screw it, let's start eating it anyways! So good, it made her dance on the spot.
I couldn't find the marshmallow-coated donut that they posted on Twitter and Facebook…just these donut kebabs.
Donut toppings.
The donut kebab.
Wonton Girl is back!
I see these guys every time at Hawkers Market, but I have yet to try their stuff. Why? I used to love deep fried wonton stuff when I was a kid.
Sweet Petite were also there.
Didn't expect chai to beat out maple bacon.
Another new food business, Oollo Tea.
Their tea comes directly from the owner's family in Taiwan.
Even though I don't do caffeine, I tried a bit and appreciated the clean flavours without so much of the bitterness and astringency of hot-brewed Chinese tea.
Very generous with the samples (as were most vendors that night).
I don't think I've ever seen Chinese tea-flavoured candies before.
Pretty colours.
Buckwheat pasta? Hmmm…could be good.
Kombucha from O5 Tea.
Different kinds.
My first ever kombucha experience. Reminded me of sour beers that I've enjoyed.
This guy reminds me of Spicy Steve.
Kinda disappointed that DJ Cito had to stop playing early in order for Ashar Kazi to come on…
…but he was a nice guy on the mic and got the people a bit more engaged.
Guy on the left playing the steel drum.
I have no idea what this is or where it came from, but somebody abandoned it on one of the tables. I felt sorry for it.
