Nestled in a very private location with the Davenport area of Central Florida, Championsgate and its 'Retreat' clubhouse and water park has rapidly evolved into a highly desirable vacation home community in the theme park area. Within 15 minutes' drive from Walt Disney World, it enjoys the benefit of easy access to all of the attractions.
The spacious vacation rentals, that mainly comprise of 5, 6 and 8 bedroom pool homes, are extremely popular with families and groups of friends looking for spacious accommodation right in the Disney parks area. Championsgate really did pioneer the market in affordable, multifamily homes with costs per person per night deeply undercutting the rates of a typical, and very limited hotel room! Why compromise privacy and comfort when you can stay in a Championsgate Jeeves home with your own kitchen, laundry, multiple living spaces, bedrooms on two floors and your own private pool?

Best Homemade Potato Salad Recipe
Today, I'd like to share my best homemade potato salad recipe with you. BUT! You must promise not to share it with anyone else because it's a family secret and has been served by my family members for four generations.
I can only assume this would be classified as German Potato Salad, as it originated with my great grandmother who was German. Personally, I'm not all that crazy for Bavarian foods. Can't stand the taste of sauerkraut, not a big fan of beer (although I do enjoy one on a hot summer day), and absolutely refuse to eat rabbit, deer or boar. However, I do enjoy potato pancakes, dumplings and Spätzle; a German delicacy consisting of tiny noodles or dumplings made of flour, eggs, water or milk, salt and occasionally nutmeg.
The following homemade potato salad recipe can be adapted to suit your taste buds. I rarely measure ingredients, so you might need to tweak this a bit to obtain the consistency you prefer. I like thick potato salad, while others prefer it to be a bit lighter. If you prefer the lighter taste, simply reduce the amount of mayonnaise and mustard by half.
Best Homemade Potato Salad Recipe
Serves 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-18 minutes
Chill Time: 2 hours, minimum
6 medium Idaho potatoes (you can use any type of potato you prefer including Yukon Gold or Red)
4 slices thick-cut Bacon, diced
1/4 medium Yellow onion, diced (you can use White Onions or Scallions if you prefer)
1 Tablespoon Sweet Pickle Relish
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1-2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise (I prefer Duke's because it is super thick - Yum!)
1-2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon Paprika, optional
2 hard boiled eggs, optional
Wash potatoes and cut into bite size cubes. If you prefer, you can remove the peel. Obviously, you would want to do this before cutting the potatoes into cubes.
Place potatoes in a 2-quart saucepan. Cover with water. Add a pinch of salt if desired. Bring potatoes to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat. Cook potatoes until they are fork tender -- meaning, when you are able to stick a fork in them with ease, they are done.
While the potatoes are cooking, you can begin preparing the bacon. Stack slices of bacon on top of one another. Cut in half and stack. Then cut slices in half lengthwise. Next, cut slices approximately 1/2-inch in width. Separate and place in small skillet. Over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crispy. If you prefer, you can fry bacon slices whole, then break them into small pieces afterwards.
If using boiled eggs, you will want to boil them at this time. Simply wash the eggs off, then place in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook eggs for about 15 minutes. Drain the water and place eggs in the refrigerator to cool.
When potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and rinse with cold water. This will stop the cooking process and ensure the potatoes don't get smushy. Transfer potatoes into a mixing bowl and place in refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. Cooling the potatoes will help prevent them from breaking down when you mix the remaining ingredients with them.
Remove cooked bacon from skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb grease. Retain the bacon grease in the skillet.
Once potatoes are chilled, add the bacon, along with 1 teaspoon of bacon grease, diced onions, sweet pickle relish, sugar, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
If desired, sprinkle paprika on top of potato salad and top with sliced boiled egg. Chill for at least 2 hours. To create the look below, use two egg slices for the eyes, then cut the remaining slices in half and place around the edges, one half above each "eye" and four half slices to create the "smile". Use the bottom portion of the egg to create the "nose." Enjoy!

Almost one year ago to the day, OneLounder released what is still one of my favorite weather apps: 1Weather. It's a fantastic looking app that delivers useful information about the weather conditions in your area, both current and extended. And, as of today, the app has been updated to v2, which brings a handful of new features to this already-fantastic app:
- Tablet support
- Refined UI
- Optimized radar section
- Added map pin
- Improved ongoing notifications
- Lock Screen widgets
The tablet layout is both intuitive and informative, highlighting the most pertinent information on the main screen: current temp, wind speed, humidity, hourly forecast, and more. Along the right side are the different options for extended forecast, outlook graph, and radar.
It also features support for lockscreen widgets in Android 4.2. There are two different widgets to choose from: the "classic" circular widget, or a a more modern "compact" option. Both give basically the same information, so it's really all about which look you prefer.
Otherwise, the update brings more subtle changes/fixes, like improved notifications, a map pin that shows your exact location on the radar screen, and other general refinements.
1Weather is a free app in the Play Store, but if you'd like to get rid of the ads there's a $2 in-app purchase that can do just that. Hit the widget below to grab it.

TT challenge – WEEK 10, DAY 5
Ok! finally, after a week off training and some higher calorie days and a weight spike, and lots of salsa dancing, my scale weight has come down nicely to 58.8kg. This puts me just into the 120's if we convert to lb's, and so that seems somehow significant. I've lost 10 lbs since I started this fatloss caper back in September last year, 7.7lbs since I started TT in December '07 and 3.3lbs since the start of my competition challenge.
Feb '08 Circuit
Workout B
I'm still a bit ouchy from Workout A and the split squats and one-legged deadlifts tested me more than usual. Then, just to really rub it in, along came the one legged hamstring curls - evil!
Today went seriously off beam at the end of the day. After a few wines I did lose control and stuff myself with mudcake. There is a definite trend with me to become unreasonably attracted to chocolate after a few wines. It's not great but there is no point getting wound up about it. I know this is a long term project and I have to ride the waves of it and learn from my mistakes.
1. Oatwhites with berries and greek yogurt
2. 5 x Omega 3 caps
3. Pumpkin and tofu quiche, salad, moro gold bar
4. 7 almonds, a few raisins, 20g chocolate
5. Fried chicken, salad, 2 glasses of red wine and an extraordinary amount of mud cake.
Calories: 3000
Water: 3L

Spring is finally here! (Doesn't seem like it does it, being stuck inside at home).
With the warmer temps, smoothie are always a great treat! They are super healthy, can take the place of an ice-cream craving, and are a delicious way to cool down on a hot day. Lately, I have been listening to some diet- related audio books. The two most recent are "How Not To Die" and "Veganist." They are both focused on a consuming a plant-based diet. They advocate for eating your fruits and veggies and skipping dairy, meat, and eggs all-together for the healthiest lifestyle possible. I highly recommend either book if you are looking for more information on this subject. I am also just starting to read on my Kindle app, "Forks over Knives." A little FYI- the "knives" part of the title is about the surgical knife. That we should favor and improve our health by what we eat, verses needing surgery (like bi-pass heart surgery) as a plant-based diet can prevent/reverse/help treat many health problems common in the US.
I won't pretend like I have all of their research and facts, but the "Standard American Diet" is pretty depressing once you start looking at it. Hardly anyone eats enough fruits and veggies. All the research presented in these books also show that eating a plant-based (vegan/vegetarian) diet can reduce your risk of heart disease (America's #1 killer). It can help Type 2 Diabetics to come off their medications. It can help prevent and sometimes even help reverse cancer. It's pretty amazing what eating a better diet can do for your health.
While I'm not planning to go full-on vegetarian yet, I am working towards it. I do not have any obvious health issues at the moment that I'm trying to help by improving my diet. I am not overweight (but eating a plant-based diet can help you loose weight as you will be eating way less fats and processed food). My plan is to start trying more and more vegetarian and vegan recipes that will help replace some of our regular menu items. Eating more vegetarian meals is better for your health and the environment. #winning.
While some of you out there, couldn't imagine a life without bacon cheeseburgers and a big plate of greasy fries, I do suggest you try to incorporate a healthy salad from time-to-time instead of your cheeseburger. Or, whip up this tasty smoothie instead of a soda and know you got a healthy serving of fruits in with the added benefits of turmeric.
Now, you might be very hesitant of the idea of putting a spice into your smoothie. I know it struck me as a bit odd, but turmeric is one of the "power food gold mines," if you will. Turmeric contains curcumin, which makes it golden yellow. Curcumin has many health benefits including: anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidants, can lower your risk of heart disease, can help prevent (potentially treat) cancer, can help with depression, can help with arthritis, etc… Really, when you look at it, there is NO downside or side effect to it. Only good things can happen when consuming it (in moderation, 1/4 tsp. a day is about all you need). I do recommend doing your own few minutes searching the benefits of turmeric, it really might surprise you and convince you to purchase a little jar of it the next time you're at the grocery store.
To finish my plug for adding turmeric to your diet, by adding it into a smoothie like this, you are never going to notice it's there. Really. You really won't notice or be put off by the smoothie when it's in there. I promise. If you're worried, start with just a tiny dash.
Mango Pineapple Smoothie
2 Green Smoothie Ice Cubes (see post) or a big handful (or two) of spinach
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 cup vanilla soy milk or vanilla almond milk (or other milk of your choice)
1/4 tsp. Turmeric (totally optional, but I highly recommend it)
1. Place all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
…and I'm ready to go! I love having a smoothie cup with a lid. It allows me to chase after my very rambunctious daughter and not worry about it too much. It's also great for taking in the car when we are out and about instead of finding a coffee-shop drive thru!

David (Koz) Kositsky, President
A board director since June 2011, Koz found that the dance community in Seattle is very special and wanted to get involved to give back to it. Returning to dance after many years' absence, Koz and a friend started taking lessons with several instructors at Northwest Dance Network: Dean Paton, Susan Balshor, Guy Caridi, Nancy Fry, and Sean Donovan. They inspired him to become a more accomplished dancer. When he's not dancing, you can find Koz cooking at the grill. He loves to cook and used to own and operate a café and restaurant. Anymore, he indulges his cooking urges by offering, at auction, elaborate internationally-themed grilled dinners for non-profits around Seattle. He hopes to continue to make new friends on the dance floor and have fun learning more dance steps and techniques.
Harold Federow, Vice President
I am excited to join the NW Dance Board. I have been involved with the Northwest Dance community for the past six years. I started with ballroom dancing then became more active in other forms of social dance especially through the Dancing 'til Dusk summer dance series. I have really enjoyed expanding my dancing skills through NW Dance and through other dance opportunities. I will bring the experiences I've gained doing legal work on other non-profit boards and through my work as an attorney to serve as best I can the needs of the Northwest Dance community so it can continue to thrive.
Bob van Winkle, Treasurer
I started dancing in the summer of 2018 after attending a Gator Boy Productions zydeco dance and being told about NWDance. I attended their dance the following week. This started my real enthusiasm with dancing with NW Dance. I have taken numerous classes in swing, waltz, foxtrot, zydeco, and various workshops. I have found the instructors very competent in all my classes and have enjoyed the positive social environment at the classes and the dances. As I am becoming more experienced (thanks to the great classes and encouragement by instructors and partners), I find I really enjoy the many dances offered in Seattle.
I recently retired from a career in the accounting/finance field, having worked in both manufacturing and in non-profit organizations. I am pleased to now have time to offer my skills as treasurer and being part of an organization of very positive, enthusiastic dancers. I also look forward to continuing improving my skills and enjoying much more dancing as well as helping the organization grow.
Pamela Tufts, Secretary
Pam retired last year from the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship in the UW Foster School of Business. She is now 1) re-learning Spanish, 2) taking piano lessons, 3) dancing (of course!), 4) and volunteering for PSARA on the environmental and social justice committees.
At the UW, Pam helped create and managed the Environmental Innovation Challenge, a region-wide cleantech competition in which interdisciplinary student teams define an environmental problem, develop a potential solution, and produce both a prototype and a business summary that demonstrates market opportunity.
Prior to that, Pam worked in the UW Retail Management & External Program and has owned and operated retail stores in the Seattle area. She has worked with boards in the non-profit sector including as Development Director for Gilda's Club Seattle, and Executive Director of Northwest Soccer Camps. She has served as a board member for the Environmental Education Association of Washington (E3); Salish Sea Cooperative Finance, and the Girl Scouts of America. And, she has worked with volunteers in all groups, including PTA's, Capitol Hill Youth Soccer, etc.
Linda Hickey, Class Coordinator
As a newcomer from the east coast, and with a natural interest in the arts, Linda was immediately drawn to the thriving social dance scene she found here in Seattle. She gladly accepted the opportunity to volunteer as Class Coordinator, enabling her to work closely with the heart of Northwest Dance Network, or more specifically, this organization's core instructors. Together they strive to offer thoughtful and creative classes and workshops.
Linda has close to 25 years of volunteer/board experience in both the private and public sectors, serving as a Vice President of Fundraising and Special Events. As a volunteer, she also managed and turned around a financially and socially suffering tennis venue. Her professional experience includes working for financial institutions, managing a not for profit community center and teaching as a Business Management adjunct.
Linda has many interests. She loves to cook and finds every opportunity to feed others. She plays the piano and particularly loves the challenges of ragtime with its syncopated rhythm. She and her spouse Dan have been married for 34 years. They have two children, a son and a daughter, both who reside in the Southeast.
Cheryl Davidson, Past President
Cheryl joined the board in December 2012. Her interest in dance has been lifelong, beginning by teaching herself basic swing by watching American Bandstand. In college and later years she took lessons in modern, jazz, and various other dance forms, but more recently she has became more dedicated to partner dancing. "Moving my body through space with music while connected to my partner releases endorphins of joy, an experience of positive addiction," says Cheryl, who is expanding her dance repertoire by learning zydeco and balboa. Retired from a profession in criminal justice, Cheryl continues to be active in social justice issues.
Mary Lou Harris
In 1999 my daughter referred me to Living Traditions Dance. She and her husband were taking classes and she told me she thought I would also enjoy taking classes there. I asked her a few times, "What was the name of that place where you take dance lessons?" On April 19, 1999 I went to a LT practice session at Sonny Newman's Dance Hall. From there I consumed the crowded classes at the Swedish Club taking a minimum of 2 per session and – at one point – 8 classes at a time! It was an amazing opportunity that gave me much that I needed and enjoyed. Eventually, I learned to lead. Walter Dill invited me to be on the transitional Board. He told the others he invited, "Mary Lou is intelligent, articulate and dedicated." I left the Board after 4 years due to a medical situation. Since that time I served for 9 years on the Condo Board where I live. I have taken classes from many dance teachers and have participated in a wide variety of dances, workshops and other events. Northwest Dance Network has always felt like my "home base." I want this organization to thrive!
Karen Ludwig
Karen appreciates the opportunity to support the dance community by serving on the board for Northwest Dance Network since January 2013. Formerly, she was Dance Chair for the Seattle Singles Mountaineers (2005 – 2010) and won the Mountaineer Volunteer of the Year Award in 2006. Karen has been dancing in a broad range of styles since age five, including ballet, tap, jazz, modern improvisational dance, swing, lindy hop, hustle, and Latin dance. She performed for three years with USA Dance-Seattle and was in shows that toured around Washington state: "A Chance to Dance" and "Take The Floor And Dance." She choreographed and performed dances for Dare to Dance at The Broadway Performance Hall in 2013 and 2014. Karen holds degrees in Broadcasting / Visual Design and Psychology, and she also has experience in dance photography and videography.
Andree Hurley
Andree moved to the northwest from San Luis Obispo in 1980 and loves all it offers, including dance! Aside from early Ballet lessons, she took up Swing and Lindy-hop when living in Port Townsend and enjoyed helping with the classes. After returning to Seattle seven years ago, she bought a lesson package from Arthur Murray, but then was introduced to Zydeco and wound her way through lessons with Mary Lee Sykes, Sean Donovan, and Ari Levitt, finding her way to the Northwest Dance Network. She also has a background as instructor trainer in kayaking, is a ski instructor, has a bachelor's degree from the Jackson School of International Studies and is a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Bain.
Gayle McKool, Ad Hoc Member
A transplant to the Pacific Northwest from Texas, Gayle McKool has been social dancing for over a decade. She enjoys many forms of partner dance, particularly East Coast swing, Cajun, zydeco, and waltz. Introduced to the Carolina shag in the last few years, she is very excited to help Charles Dyer bring this fun dance to the Northwest Dance community.
Beverly Sanders Past President
Bev has been a board director since June 2011. She started dancing in 1998, as a lindy hopper. Since that time Bev has enjoyed learning a number of other dances and has built a community of friends around dance. She brings to the board over 20 years of professional experience in volunteer and board management, group development and outreach, grant writing, strategic planning, and consensus building.

Please welcome New York Times bestselling paranormal romance author H.P. Mallory!
What was the querying/agent search process like for you?
Well this is a two-fold question. When I first started out which was about 6 years ago, this process was grueling. You send out tons of queries and almost no one writes back. I was lucky enough to land an agent the first time around but once we submitted my books to the publishers, no one was interested. Then I ended up sitting on the first two books in both of my series (Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble and To Kill A Warlock) for about 5 years before self publishing them. Once I self pubbed them and they hit numerous bestseller lists, I sent out four agent query letters and received prompt responses from each agent, eventually signing with one. So the first time around wasn't fun but the second time around was much easier! LOL
Is there another genre you would like to try at some point?
I'm not sure yet. Right now I love paranormal romance and urban fantasy and can't really see beyond them...
Do you have a writing ritual or a certain way you like to get ready to write?
Not really. I just aim for 2000 words per day and take numerous breaks throughout the day to give my eyes a break!
Tell us about one of your characters you loved writing:
I'm actually working on the first book in a new series and the angel in that book is so much fun to write! He's not like a customary angel at all--he's really uncouth and crass but hysterical!
Was there ever a time you felt like giving up? If so, what changed?
Yes, after the first go around when no one was interested in my books, I did give up. Then I read about self publishing and decided to give that a try. Since then I haven't looked back. I ended up signing with Random House and then, most recently, I hit the New York Times bestseller list. Just goes to show that you should never give up on your dreams!
What advice would you give to an aspiring author?
See above. LOL
Some of your characters have their own Facebook pages! How has social networking helped build your fan base?
Yes, social networking is probably one of the biggest reasons I was able to get the word out about my books. Self pubbing is great but it's a lot of work and the author essentially has to do all her marketing herself! For me, word of mouth has been crucial and I'm sure it has a lot to do with how much guerrilla marketing online I did in the early days.
What is your current obsession (absolutely anything)?
Remodeling my house. It seems like that's all I've been doing lately!
Thank you so much to H.P. for chatting with me! Be sure to check her out (links below!)

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Chancellor of the exchequer Philip Hammond said on Monday the government was aware that Monarch Airlines might collapse after it chose a business model that did not pay off, but the airline industry will restructure to take on its capacity.
"We were aware that there was a risk of this happening," Hammond told BBC radio.
"It's never pretty when these things happen ... I am afraid it is not a question of government stepping in, this is an airline that had made certain decisions about its business model and how it wanted to position itself in the market and those decisions didn't pay off obviously."
"The industry will restructure, that capacity will be absorbed and the competitive market will continue to operate."

Curing Medicare: A Doctors View on How Our Health Care System Is Failing Older Americans and How We Can Fix It
Publication Date
[Excerpt] With this book I hope to demonstrate how our health-care system is failing our oldest and frailest Americans, and how that failure is inextricably tied to Medicare's philosophy and payment structure. My critique is part of a larger social debate that is developing about the goals of modern medicine in particular and the health-care system in general. Many patients, physicians, other health-care professionals, and health-care organizations—including unions, foundations, patient-safety organizations, and politicians—are becoming increasingly concerned about the principles and practices that escalate health-care costs and put patients at risk.

Felipe Massa could be a key to a successful championship tilt by Fernando Alonso this year. That is the view of 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, who said in Milan this week that he thinks Spa...
That is the view of 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, who said in Milan this week that he thinks Spaniard Alonso was "tired" at the end of a hard-fought campaign with a less competitive Ferrari last season.
"This could be Ferrari's year," the French Canadian told the Italian media.
"The car is fast, although maybe it's a bit difficult to drive.
"Perhaps he will also have the support of Massa this year," he added.
The Maranello based team has produced a much better car for 2013, although currently the Ferraris are behind the Red Bulls and even Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton in the drivers' points standings.
Referring to Alonso's first-lap contact in Malaysia and the decision to stay out on track rather than pit for a new nose, Villeneuve said: "Ferrari has already done its big mistake for the year."

As Israel escalated its structural oppression of Gaza through renewed military attacks this week, the Israeli military has killed at least 34 Palestinians, and exterminated a complete family. Following traditional patterns, these actions have been rationalized and euphemized throughout Western media, which tended to center the discourse on Israel's fears.
The BBC has perfectly exemplified this phenomenon, when it labeled Israel's attacks as "retaliatory strikes." It further reported that 63 people in Israel "have been treated for injuries and stress symptoms," highlighting that "[a]n elderly woman was slightly wounded by broken glass after a rocket hit a house in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon." Israeli paper Haaretz wrote that four Israelis were treated for anxiety.
You can't make this up. pic.twitter.com/9CiwDhYk6l
— Imraan Siddiqi (@imraansiddiqi) November 13, 2019
Reactions from the U.S. Political Elite
U.S. politicians echoed the centrality of anxiety. This latest episode reiterated that every major U.S. lawmaker and presidential contender would work towards shielding Israel from both significant criticism and Palestinian resistance.
Bernie Sanders tweeted:
"Israelis should not have to live in fear of rocket fire. Palestinians should not have to live under occupation and blockade. The U.S. must lead the effort to end the crisis in Gaza and the persistent violence that threatens everyone."
While, within the United States, Sanders' views on Palestine are oftentimes considered more progressive in relation to the political spectrum in that country, Sanders' criticism of Israel has always been limited to the framework of an unbreakable U.S.-Israeli bond. Applying the same rhetoric, Joe Biden, known for his unapologetic support for Israel, tweeted:
"Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorist threats. It is intolerable that Israeli civilians live their lives under the constant fear of rocket attacks. That's why our administration was such a strong supporter of Israel's life-saving Iron Dome."
That Palestinians are not only living in constant fear of rocket fire, but also experiencing structural violence of genocidal dimensions, is not acknowledged. In fact, the daily struggle for survival of Palestinians in Gaza in the face of a brutal Israeli siege by land, water, and air, rarely makes any headlines. When Palestinian responses disturb Israeli comfort, U.S. media and politicians do get vocal – mostly to proclaim solidarity with the occupying power.
Opposing Realities
Indeed, daily life seemed slightly disrupted in Israel. An article in Haaretz, titled "No Casualties but Plenty of Confused Tourists in Tel Aviv," soberly depicts how unusual that particular day was experienced in Tel Aviv.
"A stroll through the streets of central of Tel Aviv early Tuesday morning revealed that this was clearly not a normal workday. Traffic was not as heavy as usual; the number of commuters passing through the turnstiles at the Hashalom train station — a major public transportation hub — was unusually low for this time of day; and there was none of the usual hustle-bustle in the streets."
The reader further learns that a major street was so quite, "it felt almost like Shabbat," that there were no bicycles in sight on Tuesday morning, that a security guard looked bored and that the beach was relatively empty. While "famous cafés and restaurants were open," "business seemed to be slower than usual for the time of day." As a result, some tourists were confused. All of this happened because the "locals" were "[a]pparently at home, glued to the news."
Compared to the disastrous living conditions in Gaza, these inconveniences in Tel Aviv appear as a temporary, limited contestation of the Western privilege that Israel enjoys in the region.
Settler-Colonial Fear
Beyond the constant evocation of Israeli fear as a way of rationalizing state violence, fear needs to be understood as a structure that underlies the relationship between the settler-colonial state and the indigenous population.
As Deborah Bird Rose theorized, the native gets in the way of the colonizer by merely staying at home. Hence, indigenous people are prone to being criminalized under the settler rule for continuing to exist on their own land. While early Zionists, who have openly used the language of colonialism, had various views regarding the population of Palestine, some did identify Palestinian resistance early on as the fundamental obstacle to the colonial project.
Prominent militant Zionist Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote in 1923 that "[t]he native populations … have stubbornly resisted the colonists," and that "[e]very native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised." As Mahmoud Darwish expressed poetically, "hope" is an incurable malady for Palestinians, who are hoping for liberation, independence, and a normal life. Jabotinsky understood early on that resisting "is what the Arabs in Palestine are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of 'Palestine' into the 'Land of Israel.'"
As a consequence of these fears, almost a century ago, Jabotinsky advocated for an "iron wall" that would separate the incoming settler-community from the present Arab inhabitants. Like Jabotinsky, many Zionist leaders, including Theodor Herzl, realized that the colony without metropole could only survive through a perpetual alignment with strong Western powers. The conceptualization of Israel as a European outpost has consistently been reiterated, for example, by Netanyahu.
Palestinian Resistance
While Israel managed to ethnically cleanse much of the land in the 1948, Palestinians continue to survive on their land and to resist the continuous violence that Israel subjugates them to. In fact, the mere existence and survival of Palestinians is a constant source of fear for an ethnocratic state, which thrives on colonial expansion and racist subjugation.
Palestinian resistance efforts need to be viewed within the context of the right to resist, which is enshrined in several UN documents. Resolution 37/43 from December 1982, for example, which was passed following Israel's brutal invasion of Lebanon that entailed the Sabra and Shatila massacre, scrutinizes Israel's "denial of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination, sovereignty, independence and return to Palestine and the repeated acts of aggression by Israel against the peoples of the region" as "a serious threat to international peace and security." The resolution stresses "the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle."
Fear and "Terrorism"
As long as Palestinians resist, there will be Israeli anxiety. Israeli rhetoric has changed throughout time. Today, it focuses on Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which came into existence over a century after the emergence of settler-colonial Zionism. Regardless of how resistance against Israel is organized, Israel and its Western allies can easily discursively criminalize every Palestinian, alive or dead, into individual "terrorists" or members of a "terrorist organization" in order to turn them into existential threats and justify their killing.
The fear of the native is visible in the reproduction of ever-new methods of containment and control of Palestinians, from apartheid laws, segregation walls, and military control, to bombardments. Fear will continue to define Israel's approach to Palestinians.

Recent statistics shows that 100% of retailers in the United States are worried about "privacy concerns related to security breach". This is a 55% increase from 2011.
Accountancy firm BDO has released its annual BDO Retail Riskfactor Report. One statistic that stands out is focused on cybersecurity: when questioned, every single respondent said that they class a security breach as a risk to their organization.
"The number of cyber incidents are on the rise across industries, but the retail industry has been particularly hard hit," said Doug Hart, partner in the consumer business practice at BDO.
Larger dependency on the Internet
The use of digital channels by Retailer's is constantly growing, so it's not surprising that concerns for online security are growing, too.
"Retailers are in a particularly precarious position because they not only have to protect their sensitive data but their consumers' personal information as well," Hart said. "The industry has been victim to some of the most high-profile—and most expensive—data breaches to date.
Hart continued, "Retailers also face a growing regulatory and compliance burden. On the one hand, retailers are increasingly penalized for failure to adequately protect customer data—one of the few instances where the victim is blamed for the crime committed against them."
Compliance burden
It's true that retailers in the US face a large compliance burden in all aspects of their business. In regards to security, compliance requirements may differ from retailer to retailer, but a common requirement would be compliance with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
Top 20 risks
Below are the top 3 risks for retailers. View the top 20 by clicking here:
Cybersecurity worries – taking steps to becoming secure
Retailers that want to become cyber secure and implement a best-practice information security management system (ISMS) should look to the international standard ISO 27001.
An ISO 27001-compliant ISMS provides a risk-based approach to data security that can be applied across the firm and throughout the supply chain. Once your ISMS has been certified to the Standard you can insist that third-party contractors and suppliers also achieve certification, helping secure your supply chain.
As well as improving your cyber security, the external validation offered by ISO 27001 certification is likely to increase your organization's business efficiency while providing a higher level of confidence to customers and stakeholders, as well as allowing you to meet your legal, contractual and regulatory data protection obligations.
For the perfect introduction to ISO 27001 and how it can help your organization, buy the 'An Introduction to Information Security and ISO 27001 (2013)' pocket guide and begin securing your organization today.

- on lines from Rilke
Gouge out my eyes:
I still see you.
Burst my eardrums:
I still hear your voice.
Hack off my hands:
I still feel you.
Pluck out my tongue:
It still probes your mouth.
Chop off my genitals:
I still have carnal knowledge of you.
Bleed me to death:
I am still hot for you.
Cut out my heart:
It still beats for you.
Dash out my brains:
You are in my bones.
Cremate me:
You are in my ashes.
Scatter them:
You are in every particle.
Variations On A Theme Of Rilke by Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Patrick O'Shaughnessy is my grandfather. This poem has always been one of my favourites. I was reminded of it last night, while watching Graham Harman's fantastic lecture on Speculative Realism and Object-Oriented Ontology at the "Hello Everything" conference. He uses an analogy about cotton and fire to illustrate the withdrawn dimensions of reality that can never be accessed by any kind of relation. Knowledge can never exhaust the objects it encounters: even fire does not exhaust the cotton it encounters.
I imagine a sudden spark catch hold of the cotton, triggering a whooomff of flames engulfing the soft cotton. The fibres glow and crackle, but quickly start to blacken into sooty embers, and disintegrate. As they sliver and spread, there are specks and motes of pitchy, carbonised cellulose dispersing in the air, jetting upwards on the crest of fiery waves or drifting sideways and earthward. Somewhere in that conflagration the cotton is destroyed - the object that was some cotton is now a crowd of particles dispersing in the air, a de-condensing collection of new, smaller objects. Exactly where it is, in the process of that disassembling, that the cotton's destruction occurs - at which point the cotton is translated into its disaggregate particulate components - is ambiguous: is it the instant the fire first catches the flammable edges of the white plant fluff, or when each last part of coherent fibre is finally desiccated and splintered? Is there a gradient of dispersal, or a quantum jump - is "being" on a spectrum or is it a lump?
Michael at Archive Fire uses the example of a horse eating an apple:
An apple is partially 'withdrawn' from a horse who holds it in its teeth because the teeth of the horse are only in contact with the skin of the apple, leaving the inner non-skin parts of the apple "hidden" and temporarily in excess of the horses bite. So the horse can be said to be in direct contact with the real apple, however not in its entirety. There are aspects of the apple that are partially withdrawn. But when the horse bites into the apple a 'deeper' kind of access is granted, the apple's individuality has been compromised, and when the horse subsequently begins to digest the apple the very distinction between the apple and the horse begins to break down. In this example the interaction between apple and horse goes from partial contact and withdrawnness to deeper disclosure and eventually to absorption in such a manner that completely obviates the need to posit any sort of unbridgeable 'gap' between either the two objects in themselves', or between the horse's encounter with the apple and its experience of it. In an intimately enmeshed and complicated cosmos these things often touch, mix and mingle in ways that are specific to what they in fact are.
The Depth of Things - Part 1: Conjuring the Gap by michael of Archive Fire
Here's what I feel, even if I don't really know it - my intuition: my identity is not hermetically sealed from the world - rather my consciousness is ecologically entwined with the environment in which it moves; my body is not a finitely bounded unity, but a breathing, drinking, leaking density plugged into the material world. Perhaps less intuitively - my mind is not an encapsulated mirage hovering around my brain, nor a mere emergent epiphenomenon which is the effect of a billion grey cells, but something more difficult to understand, such that it feels more like magic. In any case it's just as hard for me to think of my individuality as absolute, as it would be for a believer to let go of the essential existence of the soul. Merleau-Ponty says:
I discover within myself a kind of internal weakness, standing in the way of my being totally individualised: a weakness which exposes me to the gaze of others as a man among men, or at least a consciousness among consciousnesses . . .
My grandfather's poem pictures an indestructible essence, in the guise of the obsessive lover. The subject who loves can never be exterminated by any action of his object; but at the same time the loved one can never extract themselves from the grasp of the lover. I know you, even though you emasculate me. But the essence does in fact de-individualise, and the lover is no longer himself alone - his object is absorbed into his bones and his blood; into every particle. Each last speck still remains the "I" of the lover, and yet completely mingles with "you" of the loved. You and I, inextricably intermixed.

- on infiltration
My point of view is for me not so much a limitation of my experience as a way I have of infiltrating into the world in its entirety . . . But how is it possible for me to experience the world as a positively existing individual, since none of the perspective views of it which I enjoy exhausts it, since its horizons are always open, and since moreover no knowledge, even scientific knowledge, provides us with the invariable formula of a facies totius universi?
Phenomenology of Perception by Maurice Merleau-Ponty
I am a secret agent, I carry out espionage; I see partially and report back from a labyrinth of mirrors; I dissimulate and double, decoy and delude; I am disguised as I walk among the unknowing objects of my surveillance; I blend in in order to see better; I see only what is not visible, and so deal in fiction.
I am an intruder, I do not belong; I trespass and infringe, perpetrate and interfere; I alter the course, inhibit and encourage, affect and disturb; I change history, divert destinies, I influence the outcome; I violate, obstruct and pervert.
I am an infiltrator; I pass through the walls; an impurity, unstrained from the solution, absorbed by osmosis, diffuse in the world; I repel the substrate, not condensing, precipitating, solidifying, crystallising; but dissolving, melting, subliming, evaporating.

- on dwelling in the being of a thing.
Looking for the moment the gap closes: being in the flow of the moment; sincerity; dialogue; thinging. Theoria, praxis and poiesis are the three Aristotelian "activities" of man: theoria - the contemplative, analytical mode; praxis - the mode of action; and poiesis - the conjury, the making, or (after Heidegger) the 'bringing-forth'. But how do these modes play together? Are we entrapped in one or the other, only ever switching between them as we might change gears? Or are they like polyphonic tones, playing together, merging with each other, alternately moving back and forth in dominance and recession, but always humming along at the same time?
I quote Richard Sennet at length here because when I read his account of craft (butchered here), I am thinking of these modes, and noticing the opening and closing of the gaps between thought and action, mind and world, being and withdrawal.
We could find no better guide than Erin O'Connor about how the hand and eye together learn how to concentrate. A philosophical glassblower, she has explored the development of long-term attention through her own struggles to fashion a particular kind of wineglass. She reports . . . that she has long enjoyed the Barolo wines of Italy and therefore sought to fashion a goblet big and rounded enough to support the fragrant "nose" of the wine. To accommodate this, she had to expand her powers of concentration from the short- to the long-term . . .
In learning to make a Barolo goblet O'Connor . . . had to "untape" habits she'd learnt in blowing simpler pieces in order to explore why she was failing . . . develop a better awareness of her body in relation to the viscous liquid, as though there were continuity between flesh and glass . . . Now she was better positioned to make use of the triad of the "intelligent hand" - co-ordination of hand, eye, and brain . . . But she still had to learn how to lengthen her concentration.
This stretch-out occurred in two phases. First, she lost awareness of her body making contact with the hot glass and became all-absorbed in the physical material as the end in itself . . . The philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty describes what she experienced as "being as a thing". This philosopher Michael Polanyi calls it "focal awareness" and refers to the act of hammering a nail: "When we bring down the hammer we do not feel that its handle has struck our palm but that its head has struck the nail . . . . I have a subsidiary awareness of the feeling in the palm of my hand which is merged into my focal awareness of my driving in the nail." If I may put this yet another way, we are now absorbed in something, no longer self-aware, even of our bodily self. We have become the thing on which we are working.
This absorbed concentration now had to be stretched out. The challenge O'Connor met was the result of further failure . . . The problem, she came to understand, lay in dwelling in that moment of "being in a thing." To work better, she discovered, she needed to anticipate what the material should next become in its next, as-yet nonexistent, stage of evolution. Her instructor called this simply "staying on track"; she, rather more philosophically minded, understood that she was engaged in a process of "corporeal anticipation," always one step ahead of the material . . .
The rhythm that kept O'Connor specifically alert lay in her eye disciplining her hand, the eye constantly scanning and judging, adjusting the hand, the eye establishing the tempo. The complexity here is that she was no longer conscious of her hands, she no longer thought about what they were doing: her consciousness focussed on what she saw; ingrained hand motions became part of the act of seeing ahead . . .
The Craftsman by Richard Sennet
The materials of life require a master to give them form, while dwelling in the being of a thing is anarchic and free-wheeling. Hmmm. Ahhh. Hello, and welcome to the tropes of mastery and freedom . . .

B3 Designers, an interior architecture company, used 8,000 cardboard boxes to transform their East End studio in London into what they dubbed the Cardboard Cafe.
The innovative project was on display last week at the London Design Festival.
B3 Designers is a specialist design consultancy who focus on bespoke interiors for the retail, restaurant, bar and leisure industry.
They donated the remainder of the boxes to students working on a 24 hour "Design and Make," but some boxes were broken when someone drove through the installation, leading them to recycle the remainder of the boxes.

Scotland's first as Midlothian adopts lower-temp asphalt
Midlothian Council is leading the way by becoming the first authority in Scotland to use an innovative lower temperature asphalt, UltiLow, to build a series of link roads around its state-of-the-art waste treatment facilities for Edinburgh and Midlothian.
The Council is working on this project in partnership with Tarmac, the UK's leading sustainable building materials and construction solutions company, as part of Midlothian's drive for continuous improvements in sustainable development and carbon reduction. As the first project of its kind in Scotland, it marks an important milestone for its potential use across other parts of the country.
Mark Rankine, the Roads Operations and Asset Manager at Midlothian Council, said: "The span of our activities within the region means that it's vital for us to address the impact of the work we carry out. Our collaboration with Tarmac demonstrates we're thinking outside the box to deliver efficient, sustainable highways for residents and all road users, and complements our approach to sustainable development within Midlothian."
Low temperature asphalt technology has the potential to reduce the embodied carbon of asphalt by up to 25 per cent compared to conventional hot mixes. The principle behind the technology is that lower temperatures are used to manufacture the material, using less energy and therefore emitting less carbon. The performance of the material is the same as hot mix asphalt.
Another key benefit of lower temperature materials is that they enable road projects to be delivered more quickly than when using traditional hot asphalt. The material cools and sets faster, which means that traffic can be allowed onto the road sooner, reducing disruption for road users and increasing the productivity of roadworks.
Commenting on the use of Ultilow, Brian Kent, Tarmac's Technical Director, said: "The use of Ultilow by Midlothian is a breakthrough for Scotland and reflects the growing popularity of this solution across the UK as recognition of its benefits grows.
"We have significantly expanded our network to meet the higher demand we're seeing, and now have 20 plants supplying low temperature asphalt. We are committed to delivering solutions that help our customers to improve the whole life performance of their projects, and address UK carbon reduction targets for the built environment."
Carbon reduction is also at the heart of the Scottish Government's aspiration to create a Zero Waste Scotland. As a result, both Midlothian and Edinburgh councils are working to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible, and are currently building a food waste treatment facility, which will include a Energy from Waste plant to recover value from non-recyclable refuse derived fuel produced. As part of the overall Shawfair development within Midlothian, the distributor roads into the facility are being surfaced using Ultilow.
