Client Testimonials
We were really happy with the production of the conference; the stage set and lighting gave the event a real 'wow factor' and many of the delegates commented on how great it looked. The team on the day were able to accommodate last minute changes to presentations and audio, meaning that the whole event ran really smoothly. We were also delighted with the film that was produced on the afternoon and edited in a really short space of time.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both and your team for everything you did for the event on Friday, for the day itself but also the lead up to it. Neil, it was lovely to finally meet you in person and thank you also Mike for popping along to have a look at it all. There has been some great feedback this morning in the office – especially about how the room looked.
Once again, a massive thanks to you and your team for an excellent event yesterday. It surpassed all my expectations. You delivered a great Tech experience and I was delighted by the quality of production. I also appreciated the tremendous support, particularly the managing of logistics and the perfect execution of the team building event. I was delighted by how little I had to fret about on the day, because at every stage, you were 'on it'. From a social media pov, it was also a great hit, evidenced by over 200 tweets with so many memorable images from the team!
A little note to say a very BIG thank you to you all for arranging an amazing party for us last night – we have some very hungover but very happy people today. And all the little touches made such a difference; the food was fantastic and the gin cocktail was a massive hit. Thanks again, I realise it is an enormous amount of work, which you somehow manage to make look easy.
The party was superb. Everyone had such lovely feedback, thank you for looking after it so well so all of us.
Everything was fab. The event ran smoothly and the evening was great, the cheese and port was great everyone enjoyed it and said it was so much more relaxed. I will definitely use you whenever I can in future, you made it much easier for me and working with you was a pleasure
Thank you so much for Saturday, it as great as always!! I'll make sure I pass on your details to anyone who may be looking for someone and I'll definitely be in touch again
Just wanted to say a HUGE THANKS for helping make our party AMAZING. You went over and above our expectations. Really appreciate all the little extra things you did, it was a massive success all round.
I will definitely be in contact the next time we need lighting and anything else for future events.

Honorary Diploma Recipients: 2018
NSCC is pleased to award Honorary Diplomas to these outstanding individuals who demonstrate true leadership in their field and community.
Although best known recently as the 33rd President Emeritus of Saint Mary's University, Dr. J. Colin Dodds is also Professor of Finance in the University's Sobey School of Business, and has spent more than four decades making considerable contributions to the post-secondary education sector.
Born and educated in the United Kingdom, Dr. Dodds earned a BA, B.Sc., MA and PhD. He immigrated to Canada in 1982. Joining Saint Mary's University as a professor of finance, Dr. Dodds went on to serve as a department chair, the Dean of the Sobey School of Business and the Vice-President of Academic & Research, prior to becoming President & Vice-Chancellor for the institution. Regardless of his title, Dr. Dodds continued to find his way back to the classroom. While president, Dr. Dodds taught international finance to graduate students. He has an extensive record of publications, including journal articles, books and conference presentations.
Dr. Dodds is very active in a range of local, national and international organizations. As a former Chair of the Council of Nova Scotia University Presidents (CONSUP), Dr. Dodds was a staunch advocate for increasing collaboration and cooperation among Nova Scotia's universities and NSCC. He argued that the College, alongside our province's universities, plays a strategic role in driving regional, national and international economic growth.
It is through his championing and encouragement that the collaborative era experienced in Nova Scotia's post-secondary education sphere began to flourish. For NSCC, one result was a growing list of articulation agreement partners – with Saint Mary's University, under Dr. Dodds' leadership, being the first to wholly-embrace the integrated-learning concept of combining college and university.
In 2010, Dr. Dodds was inducted into Atlantic Business Magazine's Hall of Fame. During the induction, it was noted that Dr. Dodds' efforts to attract and retain newcomers to Nova Scotia made strides to address the demographic challenges faced by the province – a model to follow.
In 2014, he was also awarded the Lieutenant Governor's Medal for Excellence in Public Administration in Nova Scotia and the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee medals. At this time, Dr. Dodds was further recognized for his efforts to improve the immigration stream for international students in the province and his significant contributions to the post-secondary education system in Nova Scotia as a whole.
Throughout his considerable career, Dr. J. Colin Dodds has served as a positive example, through his work, to continuously open pathways to education and greatness for learners the world over.
He and his wife Carol have two children, James (Toronto) and Elizabeth (Halifax), and four grandchildren.
Rick Hansen is a Canadian icon who has dedicated his life to creating a world that is accessible and inclusive for all. Best known as the "Man In Motion" for undertaking an epic, two-year, 40,000 km journey around the world in his wheelchair, Rick is also a three-time world champion, nine-time Pan Am gold medallist and three-time Paralympic gold medallist. Now the Founder & CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, an organization committed to creating a world without barriers for people with disabilities, Rick Hansen and his team work hard to change attitudes, create accessible spaces and liberate the amazing potential of people with disabilities.
When he was 15, Rick's life changed forever. Returning home from a week-long fishing trip, Rick was thrown from the back of a pick-up truck and became paralyzed from the waist down. His new reality came with a lot of challenges, but with determination, a sense of humour and a lot of heart, he found a way to keep doing the things he loved, and began to make new dreams.
In 1976, he enrolled at the University of British Columbia, becoming the first person with a disability to graduate with a degree in Physical Education. Rick is the recipient of many awards and honours. The full extent of his achievements and accolades are too extensive to list.
The Rick Hansen Foundation was established in 1988, following the completion of the Man in Motion World Tour. To date, the Foundation has generated over $342 million dollars, and has delivered programs that have raised awareness, changed attitudes and improved the quality of life for people with disabilities. The Foundation works diligently to achieve real change through collaboration, partnerships and teamwork. This includes the Rick Hansen Institute, a global collaboration network for improving the care and finding cures for spinal cord injuries.
In 2017, the Foundation officially launched an innovative accessibility certification program to help improve access to built environments. Piloted in B.C., the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility CertificationTM (RHFAC) program is the first of its kind. The program seeks to make public spaces universally accessible – particularly for persons with physical, sensory, learning and developmental disabilities – and ensures that everyone is able to participate and live to their full potential.
The following year, NSCC announced that the College would deliver the professional training component of the RHFAC program. During the announcement, Kingstec Campus student and wheelchair athlete Ben Brown, said, "Without Rick, we might not have had something as simple as wheelchair ramps in this province, let alone the country."
Rick Hansen's impact on social, attitudinal and physical barriers faced by Canadians and persons with disabilities the world over is staggering. His impact as a role model for Canadians with disabilities is immeasurable. Through educational programs, accessibility initiatives and support for research, Rick Hansen and his Foundation have inspired the world to re-envision what an inclusive Canada can, and should, be.
An acclaimed fiddler, author, radio-show host and business mogul, Natalie MacMaster has helped transform Nova Scotia – Cape Breton in particular – into an internationally-recognized region for folk, traditional, Celtic and Gaelic music and culture.
Officially launching her career with her self-produced album Four on the Floor in 1989, Natalie has gone on to release 13 additional solo albums and collaborations – several selling over 300,000 copies. She has also performed alongside artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Faith Hill, Johnny Reid, Carlos Santana, Sharon, Lois & Bram and Buddy MacMaster.
With a heart as big as the sound produced by her fiddle, Natalie has long combined her talent with her generous spirit to make a difference in the lives of others. Through her inspirational benefit concerts, she has supported numerous charitable causes and communities across the nation.
In 2006, she was officially recognized for her outstanding career, dedication to the community and service to Canada with the nation's highest civilian honour: The Order of Canada. It is widely believed that her work as a musician and cultural ambassador has re-invigorated markets for Nova Scotian artists in countries such as Germany, the US, the UK, China, India, Switzerland and Australia.
She has also been recognized with awards and nominations from the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Junos), the East Coast Music Association, the Canadian Folk Music Association, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television (Geminis) and the Canadian Country Music Association; and has been conferred honorary doctorates from the Atlantic School of Theology (Halifax), Trent University (Peterborough), Niagara University (New York) and St. Thomas University (Fredericton).
Since the death of the legendary Buddy MacMaster – her uncle – in 2014, Natalie has also taken up the mantle as standard-bearer for Cape Breton-style fiddling – a method of Scottish-style violin-playing that has evolved over the last century on Cape Breton Island. It is characterized by a strong, downbeat pulse that is intensified with the banging of the fiddler's heel on the floor.
As a positive representative of Nova Scotian heritage, culture and music, Natalie MacMaster has enhanced the province socially, culturally and economically, and has found success internationally – all while continuing to do what she loves.
Albert Marshall is many things to many people: an Elder in the Mi'kmaq Nation, a friend, a father, a grandfather, a husband and a mentor. He is also a passionate teacher and advocate.
As a young boy, Albert was taken from his family and placed in the Shubenacadie Indian Residential School. He was profoundly affected by the experience and it led him on a lifelong quest to connect with and understand both the culture he was removed from, and the culture he was forced into.
For decades, he has worked to bring together Western and Indigenous cultures and find ways to live in mutual respect of each other. Through a guiding principle that he conceived, Albert reasons that by respecting different world views and recognizing the best from each, we achieve a powerful model for all human discourse.
Dubbed Two-Eyed-Seeing or Etuaptmumk, the principle asks that we learn to see from one eye with the strength of the Indigenous peoples, and see from the other eye with the strength of Western knowledge – using both eyes for the benefit of all.
During cross-country hearings into the legacy of the Indian Residential School system, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission called on Albert and his wife, Murdena, a fellow educator and Elder, to explain Two-Eyed Seeing to all in attendance. The presentation greatly impacted the Commission's resulting 2016 report, which argued that post-secondary institutions are uniquely equipped to help repair cultural attitudes.
Through this report, educational institutions were called upon to expand opportunities and approaches to contribute to the elimination of education and employment gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians.
Recognizing its role as Nova Scotia's leading provider of post-secondary education for Mi'kmaq students, and its intimate interconnection with communities across Nova Scotia, NSCC has made a commitment to take deliberate, immediate steps to support this call to action.
Albert's history-making work has fundamentally influenced the work of NSCC, the education community, the province and our nation as a whole.

A practised eye
Natascha Libbert (1973) is in the fortunate position of having to travel a great deal, as a result of which she can look at society with a cosmopolitan eye. She has been struck by the fact that people, wherever they are in the world, are bending things to their will, creating something for themselves, making their surroundings their own. This in order to strengthen or disseminate their own identity, to distinguish themselves from the masses and to make a statement about style, taste or personal signature. People construct their own surroundings, because they derive a certain sense of calm from this order.
But staking out one's territory is no longer enough. We build walls to escape the prying eyes of our neighbours, plant hedges and cover every opening. Irrepressibly, we transform our surroundings. We close ourselves off, withdraw into our bastions. And the more we control our surroundings, the more we lose our grip on them. The more we try to be individual, the more we conform, to the average taste, to global uniformity, to prevailing norms and values. In doing so, we are alienated from reality.
Our society is filled with conflicting characteristics: loss of identity alongside image building, globalisation alongside small scale, individualisation alongside mass mentality, alongside integration of and confrontation between traditions, cultures, religions and lifestyles. A continuous reassessment of fixed and newly acquired values. People are becoming alienated from themselves and from their world in a society that offers little respite. Our senses are over-stimulated. There is no time for self-reflection or contemplation.
People find fulfilment in the material possessions they acquire. In that acquisition, there is always a goal in sight, a feeling that is pursued. The object of our desire must give us a feeling of success or satisfaction. And it does, but only for a fleeting moment. Ultimately we are unable to find permanent fulfilment in tangible possessions. Attempts to do so are as vulnerable as we are.
Photography is a medium that lends itself perfectly to the study of the constructed environment and the role of people within it. This is the area that photographer Natascha Libbert, who graduated this summer from the Royal Academy for the Arts in The Hague, focuses on. Searching for an experience and an ideal. Small or indeed monumental forms of alienation. Beauty that is often present in the human inability to maintain the setting, the way in which people seek self-preservation in this cultivated reality. Her photos speak of the alienation in our relation with the world, of our dreams and ideals.
Her images have an intriguing stratification, which they relinquish slowly and only after careful consideration, just as good wine only slowly reveals the richness of its bouquet. Perhaps this can be attributed to the practised eye of the stewardess, a positionNatascha Libbert holds part time; a quick look to assess situations, alert to anything that deviates from the norm, anticipating and dividing attention without losing concentration. The ability also to observe the less pregnant things out the corner of her eye.

February 27th
We woke up at 5:30 this morning (3:30 Utah, ehem) to go deep sea fishing with A.J. I was soooo excited! A.J. said the girls could stay at the hotel if we wanted to and get all spoiled at the spa. But noooooo! We refused to stay at a spa when we could be having an awesome adventure!!! We ordered a quick breakfast at this little diner…
The morning was beautiful…but very cold and windy….
When I saw the boat we would be in all day, I was seriously about to just stay in the car and wait for them. I imagined something a little bit bigger, with perhaps an indoor area to keep warm in. I was not prepared for cold weather when I packed for Florida…
We had such a great day, though! We stopped to catch some live bait. Brandon caught a barracuda almost immediately.
We listened to country music the whole day and it was soooo appropriate because we were on the craziest bull/bucking bronco ride EVER. It was so much fun…at first….but I was getting a little queezy and we were nowhere near land nor the fishing spot. I just focused on the horizon and concentrated on NOT being sick. That just made it worse. I kept thinking about all the movies I had seen where people were seasick and throwing up. Anyhoo, we finally stopped to fish and that's when things got bad.
I felt sooooo great after that! But then Eddie got sick…
Then I got sick again… Then Tonya threw up….It was CRAY CRAY!!!
Eddie couldn't close his eyes without feeling nauseated again, and I couldn't open mine. Linz, Josh and Brandon were just fine. 🙂 The conditions were just not great for fishing so eventually they gave up and took us back in. I was praying THE WHOLE TIME that I would make it back alive.
But before the seasickness hit, we saw a whale, a couple of huge sea turtles and lots of dolphins!!!!! It was really such an amazing day!!!
A.J. took us back to his house where we met his wife and two of his kids. She fed us some lunch and we hung out for a while, mostly the guys talked business. I went back to the hotel and took a shower and washed the puke out of my hair. Then all the girls got to have massages at the spa. OMGOSH! It was sooooo great!!! Then we went to dinner at a sushi place.
We were all totally beat after dinner and went to bed!

PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas judge overruled motions for withdrawal of appearance and alternative service in a slip-and-fall case connected with the sidewalk outside a Philadelphia grocery market, before later determining parameters for proper and complete service of the complaint in question.
Defense counsel Kevin J. McCloskey filed a motion to withdraw appearance on Feb. 11, having determined with Cousin's Supermarket No. 3's general liability carrier, Liberty Mutual Insurance, that none of the entities it entered an appearance for are provided liability coverage at the location where the fall occurred. McCloskey argued Cousin's Supermarket No. 3 isn't a party to this lawsuit and Liberty Mutual has no contractual duty to represent the defendants, thereby allowing counsel to enter a withdrawal petition.
Also, plaintiff counsel Gary Stewart Seflin filed a motion for alternative service on March 17, seeking service of the complaint by mail at the defendants' last known address. Seflin averred in his motion that the defendants were allegedly attempting to avoid service of the complaint, and thus wanted the complaint serviced at the defendants' "corporate nerve center" at 1900 North 5th Street in Philadelphia.
Specifically, because plaintiff counsel said prior addresses provided at West Rising Avenue in Philadelphia and Philmont Avenue in Huntingdon Valley were incorrect.
On March 30, Judge Linda Carpenter denied the motions.
Further, on June 22, Carpenter ruled the previous motion to withdraw appearance from the defense was stricken and service of the complaint on the Cousin's defendants would be complete upon service to all defense counsel. Carpenter further stipulated should of any those members of defense counsel wish to withdraw subsequent to said service, they may file a petition to do so with the Court pursuant to Rule 1012 of Pennsylvania's Rules of Civil Procedure.
Seflin further filed a discovery hearing request on Aug. 31 to compel answers to interrogatories and for the production of relevant documents, which is currently set for Sept. 15 in Court chambers at Philadelphia City Hall.
On Feb. 15, 2014, plaintiff Maria Cardona was walking on the defendants' sidewalk on the 1000 block of West Erie Avenue in Philadelphia, when she allegedly slipped and fell on a patch of snow and/or black ice that had been allowed to accumulate from a storm that came through the area two days earlier.
Cardona alleged the defendants' failure to inspect, maintain or clear the sidewalk and abide by the City of Philadelphia's codes of snow removal, which call for a 36-inch path to be cleared within six hours of a storm's end.
In the fall, Cardona allegedly suffered a left wrist radial fracture and left wrist pain and swelling. Cardona then filed suit against Cousin's Food Market, Inc., Cousin's Food Market Nos. 1-3, Khierallah Ahmad, Radwan Ahmad and Keirzllah Ahmad for negligence.
The plaintiff is seeking damages not in excess of $50,000, plus interest, costs, attorney's fees and delay damages in this case.
The plaintiff is represented by Seflin, in Media.

I am sorry, but I absolutely do not believe the hoopla surrounding bakeries making wedding cakes, or ANY private business of any sort doing anything they would rather not do. Can we say common sense? I have been voting with my feet over shoddy service at businesses large and small for DECADES now, and have never once required the services of a lawyer to do it.
If you are a business employee, and have religious convictions that interfere with providing services that the company routinely offers – get another job. I should be able to purchase services the company offers, even if you are the employee filling my prescription, or ringing up my pork chops, regardless of your personal convictions as an employee.
If it is your private business, however, that's different.
Personally, I would bake a cake for a gay person, because I am called to love people. I am not called to love or support their behavior or beliefs. I have baked cakes for Muslims, because I respected them as people. I won't bake a cake that celebrates ISIS, or Islam, for that matter. Same thing for a same-sex marriage. I don't support that, either – not that a marriage is in the same category of "belief no-nos" as ISIS is. But for you as a human being: gay, Muslim, black, white, Jewish, special needs, green and purple polka-dotted?? No problem. If you take my cake and serve it during Eid, or at your wedding to your same-sex partner, that is your choice.
This cannot be the most important issue of modern life. In fact, it is my considered opinion that it isn't an issue at all.
Anyway, are you seriously considering serving a cake to your friends and family that you FORCED someone to bake for you? Are you NUTZ? EEEEUUUWWWWwwwwww………………

As I mentioned before, The Cellar is located downstairs of the Villa Del Sol building.
You walk down this staircase to get to the restaurant. My date was running down those steps like there was a prize involved or maybe he just wanted to make sure that it was safe before I went down there.
We were seated close to the entrance but it was still very cozy. The last time we were there, we sat in a more private booth.
Isn't it romantic?
I started with a glass of 2007 Paul Jaboulet Aine (Parallele 45 Rose). It's sweeter and lighter than what I usual drink but I liked it.
So I have to comment that instead of just bringing out a basket of bread, the bead service here is different. They bring you this dish of butter and then another waiter comes along with a basket of bread and serves you one piece of bread at a time. So if you want another piece, you have to flag them down and ask for it. I guess this is good if you are trying to limit your carb intake. Not good if you are a hungry girl. I ate three pieces by the way throughout the course of my meal. It was hard work to get them too.
We shared the Pan Seared Sea Scallops as an appetizer.
It was not only lovely but it was tasty too!
For my entree, I ordered the Char Grilled New Zealand Lamb Rack and my date ordered the Grilled New York Steak.
This was cooked perfectly as I had ordered it, slightly pink on the inside. I think this place is known for that brown sauce that they serve on top of everything but I don't care for it.
We shared this side of Sauteed Button Mushrooms. Again, covered in that brown sauce.
I remembered that they only served one kind of dessert here and you are looking at it. Souffle...either chocolate or vanilla. The waiter brings you this beautiful souffle then proceeds to take a spoon and dig a hole in the center and dump either hot chocolate or vanilla sauce in it. And after all this, it isn't really that good. I passed on dessert this time around and I love dessert. I just don't love *this* particular dessert. Oh and by the way if you decide you want to try this dessert, order it along with the entree because it takes 30 minutes to bake.

HPC Seminar Broadcast May 2: The Materials Project
The Materials Project: Combining Density Dunctional Theory Calculations with Supercomputing Centers for New Materials Discovery
Thursday, May 2, 12:00 PDT
NERSC OSF Room 238
Anubhav Jain
Berkeley Lab
New materials can potentially reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of solar photovoltaics, batteries, and catalysts, leading to broad societal impact. This talk describes a computational approach to materials design in which density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed over very large computing resources. Because DFT calculations accurately predict many properties of new materials, this approach can screen tens of thousands of potential materials in short time frames.
We present some major software development efforts that generated over 10 million CPU-hours worth of materials information in the span of a few months using NERSC clusters. For the effort, we designed a custom workflow software using Python and MongoDB. This represents one of the largest materials data sets ever computed, and the results are compiled on a public web site (The Materials Project) with over 3,000 registered users that are designing new materials with computed information.
Finally, we describe future efforts in which algorithms might "self-learn" which chemical spaces are the most promising for investigation based on the results of previous computations, with application to solar water splitting materials.

[UPDATE] O.J. Mayo Talks Tells Reporter About Fateful Day Michael Jordan Kicked His Ass In Front Of An Entire Basketball Camp
Assuming you heard Jordan's recent grumpy old man comments about how much better he is than everyone, you probably wondered what such hypothetical trouncings would look like. I mean, sure, he could never actually play Kobe in his prime, because that was seven years ago, but Mike did say he played O.J. Mayo when he was a cocky kid still playing at Rose Hill High School, while attending Michael Jordan's Flight School Basketball Camp.
And that he kicked his ass for asserting his Airness couldn't beat him in a one-on-one.
Well, footage has surfaced of the two playing in a scrimmage where Jordan basically turns the game into one on one -- and schools Mayo with a couple of Kobe's moves.
And this wasn't even what Jordan was referring to in the now infamous ESPN interview. He claimed that he sent all the kids to bed, closed the gym, and destroyed Mayo every way possible, just to make the point "no one is better than Michael Jordan." Then privately embarrassed him, because no one is more competitive than Michael Jordan.
After watching the video above, you now know what that was probably like: A series of indefensible moves. Over. And over. And over.
Here's Mayo's account of what happened.
[Via Deadspin] "He said 'I need all the campers and everybody to leave. Let's clear the gym.' And I said , 'Oh man.' So we continued playing pickup, and Mike was Mike. He was jawing a little bit and really getting into me defensively. He was backing me down. He said, 'You better scream for momma. Mom-ma, mom-ma! He hit the famous fadeaway on me. And then I said, 'OK, OK, you got it going.'
"He said, 'Hey, young fella, let me tell you something. You may be the best high school player in the world, but I'm the greatest ever. Don't you ever disrespect the great like that.

No Conflict of Interest in my Wife's Company, My Son's Job : MAYOR-ELECT JOHN TORY
TORONTO (November 28, 2014) – "During the election campaign, I was clear with voters that if I was elected Mayor, I would follow all of the rules and act with the integrity, honesty and professionalism that the public rightly demands.
As I prepare to take office, I wanted to outline a number of steps I have taken with regard to my personal interests. Avoiding conflicts of interest is extremely important and that responsibility rests with me and my office. It is not the responsibility of the City Solicitor or City staff. I have asked George Rust-D'Eye, Clayton Ruby and Thomas Barlow to provide me with legal advice on these matters. I have also met with the City's Integrity Commissioner and briefed her on my plans. She has responded (letter attached) providing some additional recommendations that I will consider.
Based on the advice of my external counsel, I intend to declare an interest arising out of the following three matters:
- My son's job in the airline industry;
- My wife's company; and
- My involvement in Rogers.
I also have personal and family investments in publicly-traded corporations, but the advice I have received is that none raises an issue under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act
On the first matter outlined above, my eldest son John is the Chief Executive Officer of Private Air Inc., an airline company headquartered in Thunder Bay with a regional office at Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport.
Consistent with the Act, a child's financial interest is also the financial interest of the elected official. Therefore, so long as my son continues to work at Private Air Inc. I will declare an interest under the Act in respect of any consideration by Council or a local board of the proposal to permit jet service at Billy Bishop. I cannot in good conscience interfere with my son's ability to earn an income and support his family because of my decision to seek public office. As a result, the above arrangement will be put in place.
On the second matter, my wife Barbara Hackett is the president of Stratheden Homes Ltd., which is in the business of designing and renovating residential property. I have shares in the company and am a director. I am not aware of any current matters between Stratheden and the City. However, it is conceivable that matters could arise in the future. Again, consistent with the Act that deems a spouse's financial interest to be the financial interest of the elected official, I will declare an interest under the Act in respect of any consideration by Council or a local board of a matter involving property owned by Stratheden Homes Ltd. other than an interest in common with electors generally.
I said during the election campaign that I would resign from the Board of Directors of Rogers Communications Inc. because, in my view, one cannot hold the position of Mayor and also devote the appropriate time required to be a director of a public company. Accordingly, I have resigned from that position. I have also resigned from the Board of Metro Inc.
I am also a trustee and director of various Rogers family-related trusts and private boards, and a member of the Advisory Committee of the Rogers Control Trust. Before his death, I gave my word to Ted Rogers that I would act in this capacity so long as I was able, and out of a sense of moral obligation to my late friend, I do not intend to resign from these positions.
What I intend to do is declare an interest generally in any consideration by Council or a local board of matters involving a Rogers-controlled company, whether or not I am required to do so under the Act.
My office has developed a framework for monitoring and proactively addressing any potential issues that could arise on the matters outlined above with the assistance of the Integrity Commissioner and external counsel. I am confident, and my legal counsel agrees, that these steps allow me to be in full compliance with the law and, in some cases, exceed its requirements. I believe that's what the public expects of its elected officials and as Mayor I intend to lead by example."

Ulster Rugby today confirmed the signings of talented young back row players Charlie Butterworth and Sean Reidy ahead of the 2014/15 season.
Butterworth, who can operate as an openside or blindside flanker, joins on a one year contract from Ulster Bank League outfit Landsdowne. The 23 year old Wicklow native was a key player as the Dublin side won the Division 1A title in 2012/13.
Reidy has signed a short term deal with the Province after impressing with Counties Manukau Steelers in New Zealand. The 25 year old can play across the back row and is Irish qualified through his Grandfather who hailed from Castlegregory, County Kerry.
The additions will give Ulster even more depth in an already strong area. The Province currently has three back row players on tour with Ireland in Argentina, while Roger Wilson played for a World XV against South Africa last weekend and they also have Nick Williams on the books. And with young indigenous talent like Conor Joyce emerging too, it will provide the coaches with plenty of options for next season.
Butterworth is delighted to have signed a first professional contract:
"I can't wait to get started, it will be brilliant to be involved. Ulster are one of the best teams in Europe, if not the world, at the moment and it was a no-brainer once David Humphreys offered me the contract. When I got the chance to go up and have a look at the facilities I was just really blown away. It's a top class stadium; everything is state-of-the-art and I can't wait to start training."
Reidy is also relishing the prospect of joining the Ulster squad for pre-season:
"I had heard a lot about Ulster before I signed; they are a club with a lot of history and tradition but have done really well in their competitions recently and are a team on the up. It's a great opportunity for me to go over and learn from the coaches and try to develop my game."

So I spoke to a good friend of mine out of the blue one day, we always seem to separate for long periods of time and come back together at the right time. We're family in many ways. He's like a spirit guide for me. I can speak to him about my own iniquities and not feel judged. He is a genuinely great guy, and I'm not just saying that because he's a fellow Leo. We're apart of the pride so we understand each other. Real humble dude.
So Tommie tells me he's working on some projects and he'd like to take some photos. Makes perfect sense. We decided we'd try to get a couple different looks. He's interested in modeling and acting, so we could have some fun. I was very excited about shooting him, because he's a snazzy dresser, and he did not disappoint.
It was a great day for a shoot. It went back and forth between sunny and overcast so we had a good wrange of looks throughout the shoot. I used my 5-in-1 reflector for the very first time. We shot over 400 pictures and had a nice late lunch. It was a good day.
Hopefully you'll agree…
So, what do you think?

Something you wrote got me thinking. You wrote: God points to the vast
countryside with Adam at His side and says, "I give you ... every tree that
has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
It seems to me that you have just pointed out a couple of other reasons for
us to believe that Gen. 1:26-30 is not describing the creation of Adam and
For the words God spoke in Gen. 1:28-30 He spoke "to them." The "them" being
both "male and female." (Gen. 1:27) However, in Gen. 2 God gave His dietary
instructions to Adam, when he was alone in Eden before Eve's creation.
Also in Gen. 1 God told the people He had just created that He was then
giving them every plant "on then face of the whole earth" as their food. Of
course, we know "on the face of the whole earth" may have only meant "in the
whole land." But still, God placed Adam in the garden of Eden and He told him
that he was "free to eat from any tree in the garden" except for one. The
first set of dietary instructions, given in Gen. 1, certainly seems to have
referred to people who were then living in a much larger geographical area
than Adam and Eve were living in. For God spoke of "the whole earth" or at
least "the whole land" when he spoke to the people He had created in Gen. 1.
But God spoke only of "the garden" when he spoke to Adam.
So far as my being "consistent" regarding understanding the meaning of the
Hebrew words for "all" and "every," I think I am consistent. I believe those
Hebrew words in their broadest sense unless I have compelling evidence that
the Bible was using them in a more limited sense. In this case I have no such
compelling evidence.

Seasonal discrepancies for defining critical loads of carbon in shallow coastal ecosystems
Document Type
Publication details
Eyre, BD & Ferguson, AJP 2007, 'Seasonal discrepancies for defining critical loads of carbon in shallow coastal ecosystems', Marine Ecology Progress Series, vol. 350, pp. 19-27.
The definitive publisher-authenticated version is available online at http://www.int-res.com/articles/meps_oa/m350p019.pdf
Isotope pairing (IP) and N2:Ar techniques for measuring sediment denitrification were compared in muddy sediments in a shallow sub-tropical embayment. At a concentration of 100 ìM 15NO3– (our experimental conditions), IP greatly underestimated denitrification, compared to N2:Ar, in low-respiration sediments subject to bioturbation, where denitrification produced via coupled nitrification-denitrification (Dn) dominates overall denitrification. Consistent with this underestimation was the higher N2 flux measured using N2:Ar ratios, accounting for more of the stochimetrically predicted N mineralisation. We suggest that this underestimation is primarily due to non-homogenous mixing of the added 15NO3– with the endogenous 14NO3– in the sediment, associated with differentials in the rate of diffusion of 15NO3– across mucus linings in burrow structures versus rates of 14NO3– supply from nitrifiers in the burrow walls. Strong support for this hypothesis was provided by the relationship between the methods discrepancy and polychaete biomass (r2 = 0.99; p = 0.001), and the almost complete removal of the methods discrepancy when the upper heterogenous sediment layer that contained the burrow structures was experimentally removed. Due to a significant increase in potential denitrification sites in association with burrow structures, this effect can potentially cause a large underestimation of denitrification (up to 85%) using the IP technique. Our data show no benefit in longer preincubation times, suggesting that this effect may represent a fundamental limitation of the IP method in the sediments of oligotrophic (low carbon loading) systems. As such, the N2:Ar flux technique represents a more realistic estimation of net denitrification in sediments with low organic carbon contents and low respiration rates and significant bioturbation. Most importantly, the present study also demonstrated that methodological comparisons need to be made over a range of environmental conditions.

Speech by Ambassador Yu Hong at the 69th National Day Reception
Rt.Hon. Mr. Nanda Bahadur Pun, Vice President of Nepal and Mrs Hastamali Pun,
Rt. Hon. Mr. Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Speaker of the House of Representatives of Nepal,
Hon. Mr. Ishwor Pokharel, Acting Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Nepal,
Hon. Mr. Upendra Yadav, Deputy Prime Minister and Health and Population Minister of Nepal,
Hon. Ministers, Party Leaders, Parliament Members, Secretaries, Excellency Ambassadors,
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
Good evening.
Today, we have the pleasure to gather together to celebrate the 69th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Taking this opportunity, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Nepal, I extend my sincere appreciation to all the Nepali friends who support the development of China and dedicate to China-Nepal friendly cooperation for all the long time. I also would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Chinese companies, medical team, cultural and media organization in Nepal for their long-term efforts to promote China-Nepal friendly cooperation and invaluable support for the Embassy.
In the past 69 years, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have forged ahead in unity and with fortitude, and achieved momentous success in socialist revolution, development and reform. We have embarked on a development path toward the modernization of an ancient civilization. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's economy has grown at an average annual rate of 9.5%, which has made China develop from a low-income country to an upper-middle income country. China has built the world's largest social security network with a basic pension insurance system covering more than 900 million people and basic health insurance system covering 1.3 billion people respectively. Through 40 years of economic development, China has lifted 700 million people out of absolute poverty, accounting for more than 70% of the world's total poverty reduction in the same period. China has contributed more than 30% of the global economic growth for many years and has become an important power house for global economy development. Under the tide of globalization, the development of any country goes beyond its own business. China's development is benefited from globalization and benefits the whole world in turn.
In the first half of this year, China's economy grows by 6.8%, and continues its overall stable performance with good momentum. However, China is still faced with serious challenges of development. China's per capita GDP ranks 71st in the world. China has more than 30 million people living in poverty, more than 80 million disabled people, and we need create new jobs for 15 million people every year. China will continue focusing on development, people's livelihood and reform. China will work even harder to advance reform and opening up, adjust the economic structure, raise the quality of made-in-China goods and service, move its industries to a medium-high end.
This year marks the 5th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. BRI practice has shown that the Belt and Road Initiative is to facilitate win-win cooperation for promoting common development and achieving common prosperity. It injects new momentum into the common development of the global economy. China has successfully hosted the Boao Forum for Asia 2018 Conference, Shanghai Cooperation Organization Qingdao Summit and the China-Africa Cooperation Forum Beijing Summit this year. China will firmly uphold multilateral trade system, continue promoting new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind, and promote the cause of human progress.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties 63 years ago, China-Nepal relations have been keeping healthy development under the principle of equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect. China supports and fully participates in Nepal's economic and social development. China is Nepal's important development partner in the areas such as infrastructure, power development, communication optic cable, agriculture and technology, education and culture, tourism and aviation, capacity building, health, people's livelihood, disaster prevention and mitigation, and cultural heritage renovation. The projects cover all seven provinces.
Since the beginning of this year, the cooperation between the two countries has been further strengthened with the joint efforts of both sides. The two countries keep frequent exchanges of high-level visits. Vice President, Prime Minister, Speaker, Foreign Minister and other ministers and Party delegations from Nepal visited China. The two countries have made fruitful cooperation achievements in various fields. Particularly, Nepal Prime Minister K.P. Oli made a successful official visit to China last June. The two sides will strengthen cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and build the trans-Himalayan Multi-Dimensional Connectivity Network. The two sides signed a number of cooperation agreements including the Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement. Last month, the two side reached consensus on the Protocol of Transit Transport Agreement. Not long ago, we welcomed with pleasure two pairs of Rhinoceros gifted to China by the government of Nepal and people of Nepal. They are envoys of friendship from Nepal. I strongly believe that China-Nepal relations and cooperation will reach a new height with joint efforts of both sides. May China enjoy prosperity and the Chinese people enjoy happiness, well-being! May China-Nepal friendship last forever!

The Flow-Through Shares to be issued pursuant to the offering will be subject to a four-month restricted resale period, such period to commence upon the closing of the offering.
The Company will pay the Agent an aggregate cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised in respect of the Flow-Through Offering, and issue an aggregate number of non-transferrable broker warrants to the Agent to acquire that number of common shares that is equal to 6% of the Flow-Through Shares sold at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of closing.
Certain directors and officers of the Company may acquire shares under the private placement.

The Devil Cure
by Wayne Blank
See also 1 Year Holy Bible Reading Plan
The King James Version uses "devil" (singular) to translate the Greek word, pronounced dee-ab-ol-os (from which originated the English word diabolic), which literally means someone who attacks by means of slander, to refer to Satan (a word/name that means accuser; see also Gossip Against The Gospel). The KJV uses "devils" (plural) to translate a different Greek word, pronounced dah-hee-mon (from which originated the English word demon), for evil spirits in general.
Immediately after "the temptation of Christ," in which the Messiah overcame every attempted influence of Satan, the Son of God began His Ministry by preaching to, and healing, many who were "possessed with devils."
"4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee [see also The Prophet Of Galilee], teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan." (Matthew 4:23-25 KJV)
The famous "beatitudes" of the "sermon on the mount" were immediately delivered to those same people, many of whom had just been set free from all (i.e. everything and everyone) that ailed them. Imagine the state of mind of those people, who sat and listened to the Truth, while experiencing perfect health (physically and spiritually), both for the first time in their lives.
"5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
"I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God is come unto you"
Among those who had been healed of devils at the beginning of Christ's Ministry was a young woman named Mary (Miriam in the actual Hebrew) from Magdala, a fishing town on the west coast of the Sea of Galilee (which is actually a freshwater lake through which the Jordan river flows). Mary, and a number of other women who had been healed of devils, thereafter became devout followers (literally and figuratively) of the Messiah. Mary of Magdala was however unique; she stood at the Cross, with only a very few others, when Jesus died ("19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene" John 19:25 KJV) and she alone became the first human witness of His resurrection (see True Witnesses Of The Resurrection).
"8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
As with everything else about Him (see The By-The-Book Messiah and Was Jesus A 'New Testament' Christian?), the Messiah fulfilled the prophecies about curing those with "devils" (the verse from the "Old Testament" quoted below is Isaiah 53:3-4, "53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted"):
"8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house [see also The Ships Of Galilee], he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
The incident of causing devils to go from a possessed man into a herd of swine is well-known, but the result is often overlooked: "the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind."
"8:26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 8:27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 8:29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.
Some of the Pharisees knew and fully understood that Jesus of Nazareth healed by means of the Holy Spirit (such as the repentant Pharisee, Nicodemus: "3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him" John 3:1-2 KJV), and yet others, for their own political reasons (see also Why Did The Lawyers Hate The Messiah?) blasphemed the Holy Spirit (see The Unpardonable Sin) with their lie "This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils."
"12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
The Pharisees did however speak correctly about some others, then (i.e. themselves) and others ever since, who fraudulently "cast out devils," in Jesus' Name, but only as a means to mislead and deceive people into thinking that they are teaching the Truth. Christ's warning of the Judgment coming to them:
"7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Mar 11 12 In Byron Bay Today
Stunner, In Byron Bay Today. It really was on cards, Huey couldn't keep dealing us up lameness forever, and so it came to pass that an absolute stunner of a day was served up, in Byron Bay today. Just beautiful, not too hot, not too cool, enough wind to keep it dusted. Yet not so much that it got tricky. Long clean lines were wrapping past the cape, big enough to keep most happy and small enough not to trash the banks. Sure, it was really crowded, but honestly after so many lameo weekends in a row, that's hardly surprising. Folks were hungry for it, and they were serious about getting their fill. Top it off with a gem of a sunset and you got an real stunner of a day, In Byron Bay Today.

|Not that wild in real life... LOL!!!
In the meantime I can use my new scarf.
This summer thinking comes from the Kauni yarn in orange and red - it is like a sunrise on a warm summer day.
I have had this darling turquoise Kauni yarn lying in my stash for some time. I had enough of it for a very long scarf.
I also found this other orange red Kauni yarn to pair with it.
I knew that I would run out of the sunrise (the yarn that is - LOL).
But no way I was going to buy a new skein. I call it a design element instead.
Anyway, I took some other orange and knitted my name and year of knitting it.
And added a knitted tag on the end with a button, also from stash.
I am actually very pleased with it. Kauni is kind of just the right thickness, not too thick and not too thin.
Sort of between Finull and Holst supersoft. I should use it more for scarves and shawls maybe.
And maybe I have a lot more in my stash. Yes, I do. I must find a project to use for it. Yes, I should. I have a lot of favorites on Ravelry. Must check them out.
Lone, your are talking to yourself - that is a very bad sign... LOL!!!

Coalition Publishes Spyware Guide
Like pornography, spyware has been one of those things that most people can't define but know when they see. No longer.
The Anti-Spyware Coalition, an anti-spyware industry group, on Tuesday published a document that aims to put spyware in its place by defining key terms and behaviors that characterize spyware programs.
The list of uniform definitions is the first major contribution of the ASC, a collection of anti-spyware companies and consumer groups that formed early in 2005. The list provides examples of "potentially unwanted technologies," a term the group prefers to "spyware," and is intended to give anti-spyware software makers a uniform standard by which to evaluate software programs, said Ari Schwartz, associate director of the CDT (Center for Democracy and Technology, which heads the ASC.
"We want everybody working from the same book of definitions. The more common discussion there is about [spyware], the better decisions users can make in the marketplace," said David McGuire, communications director at CDT.

The Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour with Saci Lloyd
Our first Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour of 2012 was with teen fiction author, Saci Lloyd, and covered Dundee, West Lothian, and Inverclyde.
Saci is best known for her award-winning Carbon Diaries series (published by Hodder), which is set in the very near future but in a world where energy is scarce and society is rapidly falling apart. Saci has also published Momentum and talked about these books as well as discussing climate change, the politics that are affecting teenagers right now, and had the pupils creating their own (amusing and terrifing) thrillers.
An avid proponent of social media, Saci has even set-up her own social networking site, www.sacilloyd.com, where teenagers log-in and can share homemade videos, artwork and animations as well as chatting to their friends.

I loved it, Saci is really funny and lively. The rough nature of her books was covered with her humorous attitude, the made up thriller was great and I'm very interested in her book Momentum. She didn't patronise us either and that felt good because we generally get babied because we're teenagers. Monique, 14, James Young High School.
I really enjoyed it when Saci Lloyd came to our school. She was very funny and very interesting and her books seemed very good so I bought Momentum. Since I bought it, I haven't been able to put it down! At first I didn't think I would be interested but I was wrong. I'm really enjoying reading one of her books. Sarah, 14, James Young High School.
I really enjoyed the Saci Lloyd event it was fun and got everyone involved and it got everyone giving their ideas and thoughts. It was brilliant and a great environment, where everyone was enjoying themselves made it all the better. Saci talked about how the world is changing and how we are the generation to clean up the mess made by others and change the course of human history and what we see of each other. She made us believe we all can make a difference. Georgia, 14, James Young High School.
I thought that Saci Lloyd was quite eccentric and really drew the audience in. She made me want to listen and participate. It was an enjoyable afternoon and her books sound very interesting. I look forward to reading them. Caola, Linlithgow Academy.
She was witty, eccentric and made very big subjects interesting to hear. Rebecca, Linlithgow Academy.

She read us a chapter of Momentum and I enjoyed it thoroughly. They should do this more often for other schools for it has encouraged me to read more. Lewis, 13, Morgan Academy.
Saci Lloyd did a fantastic job! She told us about what she's into herself what her books about and she even made us make up a thriller.

Beth, 13, Grove Academy.
I really enjoyed meeting the author Saci Lloyd. It really was a great experience for me. We talked about environmental issues like the issues in her books. Her books really are fantastic and unique and I like her style. Imogen, 13, Grove Academy.
I had a very good time listening to her stories and seeing how she writes. She is an inspirational woman and a very talented writer. I liked the book she read out but she stopped at the most exciting bit. I loved having this experience and I would love to do it again. Carly, 12, St. John's RC High School.
I really enjoyed listening to Saci Lloyd talk about her books. the fact that she even read some of it out to us really drew me closer to the book so I think that if I ever see any of her books in a store I will definitely buy one and enjoy reading it from start to finish. I would highly recommend her books just from listening to Saci! Aamna, 12, St. John's RC High School.
I enjoyed the Saci Lloyd Event because it was really interesting to listen to. I thought she really inspired me to think differently. Cameron, 12, St. John's RC High School.
I liked Saci Lloyd's presentation. I thought she was very enthusiastic about the whole thing. She was also very eager to hear what we had to say and what ideas we had. Taylor, 12, St. John's RC High School.
Saci Lloyd was fantastic! Her enthusiasm, in my opinion, helped a lot to get everyone involved in the task of making a story. Caitlin, 14, High School of Dundee.
I enjoyed Saci Lloyd a lot, she is a really genuine person. I like the way she sets out her books focusing on what's wrong in the world and what is to come in the future. I had only met the woman for 1 hour but she acted like the type of person you know for one year. Paul, 14, High School of Dundee.
I loved this event, and not only because it was full of tips and information, but because it was great fun. It was mad, exciting and I'm sure everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. Saci was a mad author, fun and had written some great books and I loved reading them. I enjoyed the visit and hope there will be more similar ones in the future. Rebecca, 13, Inveralmond Community High School.
I really enjoyed the time we had with Saci because she was really inspiring and she involved us with her talk, and she was really confident, and I liked how she read us parts of her book, but she also added a little twist while she was doing it. Saci was really funny and we all were left wanting more at the end. Jessica, 13, Inveralmond Community High School.
