The North Pole is a busy production zone this time of year, operating at a pace that would give an accountant at tax time the shivers. Santa and his faithful — yet sometime irreverent — elves are all working triple time to produce what they make there at the Claus shop. But more and more in this modern day, the elves find themselves at their desks, on the phone with company reps talking about "drop-shipping" and warranty-related details.
With that in mind, it's time to think about the boater on your Christmas list. Perhaps you have no idea what this borderline-obsessed seafaring person needs, or perhaps you don't know what any of this stuff is. Here is a list of possible ideas that might dial things in a little closer.
The sailor is arguably the most over-educated of the boating breed. I once met a yacht broker who said he hated selling sailboats because sailors were filled with an unhealthy amount of information. So with this group we must be careful.
Magazine subscriptions: Most sailors like to sit around and read about far-off destinations, techniques and merchandise, and generally immerse themselves in the sailing world. It's an easy gift that can be obtained with one phone call. Sail magazine is a general all-purpose publication. Sailing World is great for the racer in the family and Latitudes and Attitudes is for the sailor who wants to travel the world as a lifestyle.
Specialized hammock: There's a company in Florida called Coolnet Hammocks, at www.coolnethammocks.com/ that makes a hammock that's designed to fit on the standard rigging of the majority of sailboats.
Covers and bags: There's nothing like the feeling of a new sail cover, sail bag or canvas cover. Just tell Willie over at Mare Sails, (310) 822-9344 or Oliver at UK Sails, (310) 822-1203, in Marina del Rey, what you're after and chances are, they'll go out to the boat and measure for a custom fit of whatever you're looking for.
Racing electronics: Companies like Tack Tick, Nauteek and Velocitek are making some great new products designed expressly for sailboat racing. If you have a racer on the list, check out the new product lines of these companies — it's cutting edge stuff.
Now is the perfect time to rifle through the fishermen's pile of gear and see if some of it looks like it's about to fall to pieces. Fishermen use their equipment hard and it's often in need of replacement. Here are a couple of ideas.
Reels: For good quality, fairly priced reels check out Avet Reels. They have a solid reputation and a lot of good fishermen swear by the craftsmanship. If you want to go all out and buy the top end jewel, check into the Limited Edition 75th Anniversary.
The Penn 50VSW comes in a wood box and word has it that it's so attractive, most folks hesitate to take it out and actually use it.
Reels can be personal, so if possible, sneak the reel out and bring it to Dick at Purfields Pro Tackle (310) 397-6171, 12512 W. Washington Blvd., and he'll help find a comparable model.
Tackle box: This is an item that is almost always in need of an upgrade. These things are constantly in a hostile environment and getting tossed around without mercy. Locally, check Purfields and Sports Chalet as well.
Videos: There are all kinds of fishing video out there — from instructional to entertainment-/travel-oriented — and many fishermen, when not fishing, love to veg in front of the TV.
Foul Weather Gear: Boaters are notorious for letting their foul weather gear turn to dust from overuse before replacing it. Check out what West Marine and Boater's World have on their shelves. Musto and Gil are great brands that most boaters would love to have.
GPS: This one can be tricky for the unknowing, but a GPS (Global Positioning System) upgrade could add ten years to a rocky marriage. Check the model number of the existing unit and ask the customer service people at West Marine, Maritime Electronics on Washington Boulevard in Marina del Rey or Boater's World what is the next model up.
Boat cleaning: I know Spevack Yacht Maintenance, (310) 717-0462, is running a special for washdowns this month. If that special somebody is a do-it-yourselfer, a break from washing the boat would be a great gift.

IELTS Cue Card Sample 417 - A place that can be good to relax
- Details

IELTS Speaking Part 2: IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card.
Describe a place that can be good to relax (except home).
You should say:
- where this place is
- what it is like
- what you can do there
and explain why you think it is a good place to relax.
Sample Answer 1:
Thank you for this nice topic and the time you allowed me to talk about a place which is good to relax. Without any doubt, most of the people would consider their home for the ideal place to relax. I would also agree with them but this cue card topic specifically instructs to pick a different place than my home. Well, a park which is located near my home, in my opinion, is also a very good place to relax.
The park I am talking about is called (...give a park's name which is located near your home...) and it takes only 15 minutes for me to reach there from my home. This is a beautiful park and I feel quite relaxed there. Every time I go there, I feel a different kind of peace that the busy city, where I live in, rarely offers. The scenic beauty, the large lake, places for picnic, boat rides, green vista, harmonic songs of nature, the chirping of the birds, sweet aroma of different flowers make it a paradise. Interestingly this place is preferred by many young artists and it is quite common to spot an artist busy in his work inside this park.
Usually, I go there to walk or to get away from the crowd. It is also a good place to read books or newspapers. I often take a book and read under one of the large trees. When I go there with my friends, I mostly prefer to sit beside the lake and gossip with them. The total area of the park is more than 100 acres and it is maintained by the Metropolitan Park Authority.
The busy city has very fewer places like this one. Once inside, I can forget the busy schedule, think clearly, concentrate on revising my plans, breathe fresh air, sit in a silent corner of the park and can read books or a magazine without any interruption. It might sound a bit awkward but I one spelt there under a tree. I was quite stressed out and tired after a long and busy day. On my way home, I went to this park and sat under a tree. After a while, I fall asleep. I have never told about this anyone. Probably you are the first person I am telling this and to explain how good a place this is!
The beautiful trees, sweet gentle breeze, symphonious ripples on the lake and various beautiful birds make it an ideal place to remain close to nature, think about ourselves without any disturbance, relax our mind and get away from the monotonous city life. I know this park for a long time and I have been there for countless times. This is an excellent place where I can relax and I believe I will go there many more times as long as I live in this city.
Sample Answer 2:
Relaxation is one of the greatest demands for people and they need it indeed to remain active and vigorous in their day to day life. I also have a place for relaxation and the place is a public library. I love to spend time here by reading different books which makes me feel relaxed.
It may sound weird to many that I go to a library for relaxation despite numerous other methods. But the preference of relaxation differs from person to person. I love to read books and in a quiet place. Accordingly, a library is the right place for me. The New Orleans Public Library is just a few blocks away from my home and I often visit the place to read books. In fact, this is the only place in the entire city where I can have some quietness.
This is a large place. It appears to me that the entire history of human and civilization is kept in the books on the shelves. The library also comes with some other features. There are plenty of spaces to take a book and start reading them. It really looks good to see a large number of books well decorated in the huge shelves. Besides, the variety of the books is another interesting issue. Almost all types of books are available here. This is like a heavenly place where everyone is busy with reading books. The seating arrangements are also fine and comfortable. I love the way to collect books and borrow them for reading at home as well.
My initial purpose is to read books at the library. But there are some preconditions to read inside the library. This is the place where nobody is allowed to break the silence. If I need something or to do something else, I need to do it silently. I love the way of working in a silent manner. Besides, I am also allowed to borrow books of my interest. I am a member of this public library and often bring books at home which I cannot finish reading in the library. Further, I am happy to have this library adjacent to me as I do not need to spend more time on visiting the place. I can reach the library within a few minutes from my residence. Sometimes, I take light snacks from the coffee shop inside the library. But mostly I spend time in reading there and it is in the evening.
This is a good place in many view. Firstly, this is an interesting place to sit and relax with the books. While reading books, I feel a sense of peace inside me. In fact, reading books brings the inner peace and satisfies the mind. Besides, there are variety of books available and I can take any one of them after my taste. I also like the environment of the library. Everyone is busy with their respective activities. There is no chaos but everything is running smoothly inside the building without any noise. Besides, this is a very good place to relax and anyone can read books as long as they want before the closure of the library. Considering all such benefits and features, this is a good place for relaxation to me.

Fix USB not compatible issue in Windows 10/8/7 with EaseUS Windows To Go creator
Will you give it up and buy any one of the certified Windows To Go drives? Not necessary. EaseUS Todo Backup is designed with a feature that works like a Windows To Go creator, which can be perfectly used as an alternative solution to create a portable Windows OS on non-certified USB flash drive without being interrupted by the error - this is a removable drive and isn't compatible with Windows to go!

Step 1. EaseUS Todo Backup is recognized as a Windows To Go Creator, and it's easy for you to create a Windows bootable USB drive. First, insert your USB flash drive into a Windows computer. Launch EaseUS Todo Backup and click "System Clone".
Step 2. Choose the USB drive as the destination disk to clone system disk (Only make sure that your USB drive has to be bigger than the source disk).
The most important step here is to click on "Advanced options" and choose "Create Portable Windows USB drive". Click "OK".
Step 3. Click "Proceed". The software will start cloning the system disk, with which your personalized operating system and boot files will be imaged to the USB flash drive together.
Do not hesitate anymore, the best USB bootable software for all Windows should be the No.1 choice as soon as creating Windows To Go USB flash drive failed due to the incompatibility and certification issue happens!

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why choose EaseUS Todo Backup?
"The easiest way to protect your data and system files." —techradar
"EaseUS Todo Backup Free is one of the most popular free data backup applications available. This software offers a myriad of features and is extremely user-friendly. It provides a full system backup, meaning you can back up your entire operating system." —TopTenReviews
"EaseUS ToDo Backup Home is a great backup program, well suited to the home and SMB space." —PCWorld
- What is the difference between Clone and Backup? In what cases should I use Clone?
Clone will copy one disk to another or one partition to another (unallocated space is also supported). Usually, this option is used to upgrade the current disk by creating an identical copy. Backup will generate a .PBD image file containing the selected files or system that can be restored from the .PBD image if needed.
- What is the difference between System Backup and Disk Backup?
System Backup will auto-select the system boot related partition(s) as the backup source to make sure the system image can be restored properly. Disk/Partition Backup will allow you to manually select a whole disk or speficy a certain partition as the backup source. You will get the same backup result as System Backup if you manually select the system and boot partitions with the Disk/Partition Backup option.
- As a computer newbie, what features should I use to protect my computer?
You can use System Backup to back up the system and boot partitions, use Disk/Partition backup to back up the data partition and add plans to run an automatic backup. If you use the computer frequently or have software that may cause boot failure of the computer, we would suggest you back up the computer every 1 to 2 days. For other situations, you can backup the computer once a week. In addition, you can schedule File Backup to back up the files which are changed frequently.
- What kind of storage service should I use to save my backup images?
EaseUS Todo Backup can save backup images to internal disks, external disks, network drives, or free cloud(Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive) and CD/DVD. It is suggested to save the images to the internal/external/network drives to save time as those kinds of disks have a better read-write speed. It is suggested NOT to save the image on the source disk, because once the disk is damaged, all the files on the disk will become unavailable and you will be unable to restore the image.
- As a company network administrator, what features should I use to protect our internal computers?
It is recommended that you use the SQL Backup feature to back up your company's SQL server and Exchange Backup feature to back up the Exchange server. In addition, you can execute System Backup to back up the system and boot partitions on every computer and set a plan to execute the backup once a day or twice a week to ensure that the computer can be restored timely when it has boot issues. File Backup feature can be used to back up important user data. If there are a large quantity of computers, you can purchase EaseUS Backup Center to manage the backups on the client computers centrally.

Getting tested regularly is a great way to make sure you do not have an STI. Many STIs can be asymptomatic, so getting tested is an important way to keep your body healthy. Curious about which tests you should ask for? Check out this guide on what is a good idea to be tested for.
It's good to know that when it comes to STIs, there are four main modes of transmission. They are…
- Blood
- Semen
- Vaginal fluids
- Skin to skin contact
In order for someone to contract an STI, they would need to engage in sexual activity with a person who already has an STI in which one or more of these modes would come into play. Although STIs can be common, remember that they are preventable!
If you are engaging in any sexual activity where sperm may come in contact with the vagina, in addition to the possibility of contracting an STI, there is also risk of pregnancy when having unprotected sex. Because both the risk of contracting an STI and/or pregnancy are so high, it's important to use a condom correctly, consistently, and 100% of the time!
In the meantime, if you think you may have an infection, it's a good idea to abstain from sex until you know for sure. Make an appointment at Teen Clinic as soon as possible. Get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, and eat a balanced diet. Help your body stay as healthy as possible! And try not to worry. Seeing a doctor is a great way to find out for sure. You'll have the chance to ask lots of questions and get any treatment you need.
To make an appointment at Teen Clinic, give us a call the day before you'd like to come in. All services are low-cost to those under 20.

The quality of your beverage service impacts customer satisfaction.
Your customer's first and last impression of your operation is often the beverage you serve them. If the drinks you serve don't taste as they should – are warm, improperly carbonated, or don't have the right syrup-to-water ratio, for example – it will be noticed.
And effective beverage delivery impacts your profits.
If you're using too much syrup versus water, it's costing you money. If your equipment is down or being serviced during period of peak beverage demand, you're losing revenue.

Members of our Ethos committee travelled to St. Andrew's Church in Aveton Gifford last Friday to take part in an Ethos day, 'Reflecting on Easter'.
The children learned about the history of the Church and created some of their own stained glass windows. They also learned about why eggs, chicks and rabbits are popular chocolate treats at Easter! They read and analysed chapters from the Bible which Christians use to tell the story of Easter and had the opportunity to write their own Easter poem.
It was a really lovely day in a beautiful setting. The children had lots of fun and their behaviour was exemplary. They should be very proud of themselves!

My latest article was published in The Dallas Weekly Newspaper this summer regarding my trip to see the Norman Lewis Exhibition: PROCESSION, at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. Read more below.
During the summers, I flock to art exhibitions all over the country. It's rather interesting that there is one museum from my hometown that I never visited before and felt like it was the opportune time to check out, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. Some of the best treasures avail themselves when one is in need of creative inspiration: PROCESSION, The Art of Norman Lewis exposed me to a new way of appreciating blackness, by placing myself in the experience depicted in his work, now on view at the #amoncarter through August 21, 2016. From the museum's website, "This is the first comprehensive museum exhibition on the work of Norman Lewis."
Norman Lewis was born (July 23, 1909) in Harlem, New York. He was an African American painter, teacher, and scholar and was an influential figure in the Harlem art community. The artist' work is rooted in the abstract expressionist movement, and as a socially conscious black activist, he depicted important moments about the civil rights movement in his work. The museum is exhibiting 65 artworks by the artist that details the struggles, triumphs, and life of African-American's (1930's – 1970's). Mentally, I was in artistic heaven while viewing the humbling and engaging exhibition that curtails the experiences of black people in America by one man's visual conception regarding social issues and migrating to a new awareness in his professional career as an artist. Norman Lewis' paintings speak to you instantaneously.
Reading about the historical semblance of Norman Lewis' work and learning that he indeed did not formulate titles for the majority of his works and some are listed as, "Title Unknown" was captivating, to say the least. His artwork made me want to linger and place myself inside each painting about black urban life that exhibited juxtapositions of color as a form of mood using primary, secondary, warm, and cool colors. The lines in his works are representations of movement and form detached from literal motifs. In like manner, all of his paintings have a specific technique representational of the moment; as the observer, you will have the opportunity to follow patterns consisting of shapes, colors, and details inviting you to become involved with the artist in real time.
PROCESSION, The Art of Norman Lewis is an excellent exhibition to view and learn more about experiences regarding African American life. *The Amon Carter Museum will host an Art and Jazz Performance, featuring jazz music that inspired the artist on Thursday, August 18, from 7-9 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Free tours of this exhibition take place Thursday through Sunday at 3 p.m. and begin at the exhibition entrance on the second floor. No reservations are required and admission is free. Visit the museum's Research Library to learn more about Norman Lewis.

Leadership Experience
During my undergraduate degree, I was the Co-Chair of the Undergraduate Social Work Club. During this time, I led the group on volunteer projects and scheduled times to connect them with community social service agencies so they could learn more about the nuances of the non profit world, as well as network with community partners and potential employers. During my practicum placement at the end of my undergraduate program, I worked with the Missoula Food Bank & Community Center (MFB & CC), leading the charge in the intersection of housing and food insecurity research. As a leader and a voice in my community, I find it important to create relationships with people and work together on a common goal. While I was at MFB & CC, I worked closely with many other agencies, include Reaching Home Montana (through the Office of Community and Housing Development), Missoula Interfaith Collaborative, the At-Risk Housing Coalition, Missoula Housing Authority, as well as with the people who are truly experiencing housing insecurity in our town. I am an action-oriented person, and follow my passion and intuition when it comes to vulnerable populations. My goal is to leave Missoula a better place to live when I am gone.
Currently, I work for the University of Montana with the School of Social Work 2+2 Distance Learning Program. My frustrations while attending school at UM, during a time of uncertainty and budget cuts, left me wanting more for future students and more for our community. I am in this position to support and create infrastructure for a very important aspect of higher education that is gaining more traction every year. I intend to be a leader in creating a comprehensive and well-rounded online learning platform, for students in tribal and rural communities to feel empowered to take their skills and creatively fuse them with their unique communities. This empowerment is a foundation for a better Montana for all, with caring and competent Social Workers in every community.
How I Want to Participate in PowerHouse
I am looking for a potential mentor and just to network.

I must have brought the sun back with me from vacation. It has been sunny and warm so many days in the last few weeks that we're beginning to think summer has arrived early. We know that can't be true – summer doesn't really start here until Independence Day, and Mother Nature can throw whole months of cloudy/cold/damp weather at us anytime she wants until then.
Which is why I'm still knitting cozy warm things. Like this cabled shawl, using a lovely jewel-toned teal blue wool. A color which also makes it hard to photograph, because I am most definitely not a photographer. (Maybe I should take a class?) At least the sunny weather cooperated for a photo shoot.
I like the adjusted spacing of the cabled motifs. I am also very happy with the shaping and the curve at the neckline. All of that ripping out was absolutely worth it. (See? I'm not so crazy after all.)
The swatching for the transition to the deep ribbing section was also worth it. I love how the whole thing turned out. The shawl is a medium thickness for warmth without being heavy, and the deep ribbing gives the bottom edge just enough weight to make the shawl drape beautifully over the shoulders.
I have made copious notes so I can duplicate my work. This shawl design is one I created for my Etsy shop, so I'll be creating a knit-to-order listing shortly. Maybe later I'll cave in to my knit friends asking, "you're going to publish that pattern, right?"
Meanwhile, this shawl needs a name. Cabled Pools seems kind of blah. Any ideas?

As part of The LAMB's The LAMB Devours the Oscars series, I will be writing on the 5 exemplary nominees for Best Supporting Actor. I will start things off with...
Mahershala Ali as Don Shirley in Green Book
Previous Wins: 1 (Moonlight)
Mahershala Ali does a great job here, considering the material he was given. He does bring a lot of life & heart to the role, although the weak script does hold him back from his performance being a fantastic one.
Adam Driver as Philip "Flip" Zimmermann in BlacKkKlansman
Previous Nominations: 0
Previous Wins: 0
Although Driver has appeared in both blockbusters & acclaimed indie films, he has not received recognition from any of the major awards until now, & his nomination is very well-deserved. He excellently portrays the struggle of realizing your ethnic identity & what that means for yourself.
Sam Elliott as Bobby Maine in A Star Is Born
Previous Nominations: 0
Previous Wins: 0
For a well-known actor who has been in film for such a long time, it's a surprise that this is only Elliott's first Oscar nomination. But the wait was worth it. Although Elliott doesn't have much screentime, he is able to make such an unforgettable mark on the film & the audience.
Richard E. Grant as Jack Hock in Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Previous Nominations: 0
Previous Wins: 0
Grant is one of the finest character actors in the minds of those who know of him, but to others, he is one of those people who they see in many things but can't remember his name. But after this performance, they'll remember his name. He is nothing short of a powerhouse here. From the first moment he's on screen to the last, Grant has so much firepower, with so much humor, heart, a tremendous scene-stealing ability.
Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush in Vice
Previous Nominations: 1 (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)
Previous Wins: 1 (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)
If anything here, Rockwell shows that he is the best & only person to portray George W. Bush. He nails everything we know & love (or hate) about the 43rd President: his accents, his mannerisms, & especially his Bushisms. All that together makes for Rockwell's finest performance.
Who Will Win? - Mahershala Ali. He's been the frontrunner ever since Green Book premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. However, there is a possibility that he could falter at the Oscars if he loses the BAFTA to Richard E. Grant.
Who Should Win? - Richard E. Grant. I haven't loved & adored a performance in 2018 more than I adored Grant's performance in Can You Ever Forgive Me? Performances like his with that much wit & charisma come around once in a blue moon, & as a result, Grant should be handsomely rewarded.
If there is someone who I think should be nominated in this category, it's Daniel Kaluuya in Widows. His performance was easily the best villainous performance since Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds, & performances like these are so rare.

Mathew R. Daniel has one piece of advice for the non-believers: Don't wait for the flood to start building an ark.
In this case, the non-believers are those who don't think there is a workforce shortage. And while Daniel has not experienced any project delay issues at Honda North America, Inc., he knows that continued energy expansion in the United States, poor historical recruiting efforts by the construction industry, and current unemployment trends speak to long-term, structural problems on the horizon.
Daniel is North American CAPEX/ IE Indirect Group Leader/ Category Manager, SPSM at Honda North America, Inc. He has seen the workforce data being presented by groups like the Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) and says Honda is taking strategic steps to understand this topic within their organization, engage contractors on their awareness of this issue and strengthen supplier performance management initiatives.
Daniel says Honda is also pulling data out of the Construction Labor Market Analyzer® (CLMA®) in order to develop category strategies for construction, as well as to help continue the dialog within company management regarding upcoming projects and potential risk(s) that exist.
One potential risk lies with suppliers. "We have seen that crafts are being stretched thin within our core suppliers," comments Daniel. "This has forced us to increase spending with smaller and/or new suppliers to ensure our projects are properly staffed."
Building partnerships with new suppliers as well as working together as an industry overall will benefit projects. "Whether you are an owner or contractor, we all have the same business objective and that is longevity," says Daniel. "For this to happen, strong partnerships must exist between owners and contractors, and those partnerships must be supported en mass from both sides."
Daniel suggests two ways to build trust between both sides. "First, treat your contractors as an extension of your organization. The more comfortable both parties are in the relationship, the more likely both will get what they want. The win-win scenario is the most sustainable model that we have seen and is inherent within our company DNA. This is why you see Honda producing so many industry innovations."
Second, Daniel recommends identifying who your key suppliers are across the different trades and "have regular, on-going business discussions with them relative to workforce. Many of your contractors might not even be aware of these issues given how busy they are in just meeting the immediate demands."
Meeting these demands may be feasible now but long-term may be a different story―especially if the perception of construction doesn't change. "Many people still see this as an unsafe, dirty and unrewarding job done by people who elected not to go to college. That is just not the case," says Daniel. "The industry needs to show people that they can have a career instead of a job and highlight just how the industry has changed. A lot of great advancements have been made in terms of wages, benefits, working conditions and technology. We need to let everyone know this."
"Above all," says Daniel, "We need to sell them on the concept that as workers in our industry they will get to 'build' something tangible and lasting; not only with their hands but their head as well."
And you need to sell this concept early. "Recruitment timing is the other thing that needs to change. Getting to people once they have graduated from high school or a vocational school is just too late. Outreach has to be in the early high school years (freshman and sophomore), while teenagers are still trying to figure out what they want to do when they graduate."
Building partnerships between owners and contractors, and building the image of the workforce should go a long way towards ensuring that should an ark ever be needed, your company will have the skilled laborers to build it!
The CLMA® is an online application designed to help owners, contractors, unions and other industry stakeholders dynamically understand the skilled labor market in a collaborative environment and know how to more effectively manage project labor risk.

Salcombe RNLI hosts naming ceremony for B Class Atlantic 85 Lifeboat
The volunteer team at Salcombe RNLI lifeboat station will be holding a formal naming ceremony for their new Atlantic 85 Lifeboat Gladys Hilda Mustoe on Tuesday 1 May.
The lifeboat arrived at the station in December 2017 and has been funded by a generous donation from a legacy left by the late Gladys Mustoe.
Gladys Mustoe retired from Kings College Hospital in South London in 1999 where she worked for most of her adult life. Her job was to raise funds for the Kings Medical Research Trust. Gladys loved the sea and she enjoyed cruising, particularly in the Mediterranean as she loved the temperate climate. Although very ill with cancer for the last few years of her life, she was determined to carry on as best she could, hardly speaking of the devastating effect the illness was having on her.
Family and friends of Gladys will be very much involved in the naming ceremony.
Mark Dowie, Lifeboat Operations Manager at RNLI Salcombe says: 'We are really looking forward to the formal naming ceremony of our new B Class lifeboat following her arrival in December. It's a wonderful occasion for us all and the wider community. We are extremely grateful to Gladys for her generous legacy - it's an enormous privilege and ensures that the charity's volunteers at Salcombe have the best possible kit and equipment to continue saving lives at sea as we approach our 150th anniversary as a station.'
The naming ceremony will start at 10.30am and will conclude with the volunteer crew launching the lifeboat where she will proceed at slow speed past Whitestrand and Normandy to give the local community and visitors a chance to view her.
Notes to editors
- You, or a representative, are invited to attend the naming ceremony on Tuesday 1 May. Please contact David Dancox or Carrie Garrad (contact below) to let them know you'll be attending and any filming or interview requirements on the day.
- Attached is a photo of Gladys Hilda Mustoe B class Atlantic 85 lifeboat. Credit RNLI/Richard Clayton.

The RNLI operates over 238 lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland and, in a normal year, more than 240 lifeguard units on beaches around the UK and Channel Islands. The RNLI is independent of Coastguard and government and depends on voluntary donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,700 lives.

Everyday life can be busy with work, family and everything in between! Holidays are often that much-needed break that keeps you daydreaming, motivated and excited for the future. But when is the best time to book in 2019, or 2020? Is there one? Rest assured, this blog is here to help you way up your options.!
Should you book your 2019 holiday early or late?
The pros of booking your holiday early
- Booking early means that there are more seats on flights, more availability for specific room types at hotels and a better selection of travel times to choose from. For example, if you're travelling with children and it is important you have a family room, there can be a limited amount of larger rooms geared up for families in the hotel.
- Early bookers will get the pick of the crop. It is also crucial to plan with children as during annual and school holidays the demand is higher.
- Booking early also means you have plenty of time to save and budget for your trip. Many travel companies offer special schemes in which you can pay off your holiday over a period of time, especially for those holidays booked over a year in advance.
- If you love to create a holiday itinerary, booking early could mean you also get the best options on all of the tourist locations you want to visit.
The cons of booking early
- You might miss out on a better holiday deal later down the line.
- If you pay upfront for your holiday, you will need to have the finances to start paying for it long before you plan to travel.
- Changing your holiday booking can sometimes incur additional costs, so if you're unsure of your availability, you may have to pay more for changes later on in the year.
The pros of booking a last minute holiday
Booking your holiday late also comes with plenty of perks. Despite the range of choice in holidays decreasing, financially it can work massively in your favour.
- By leaving booking to the last minute you can be almost certain that the price of remaining holidays will be significantly more appealing in price than when booking in advance.
- Booking late means that travellers can sometimes benefit from the biggest savings.
- You've got longer to save the money needed before booking and means you won't have to worry so much about having to pay the deposit or paying upfront months in advance.
The cons of booking late
- The flexibility and availability for your preferred holiday destination decreases as all the early birds will have booked months ago and you'll be left competing with people in a similar position.
- If you have your heart set on a destination and want to leave it to the last minute to get the best deal you might be constricted to certain times of the year to travel. The best last minute deals are usually out of annual and school holidays holidays and you can check the upcoming bank holidays for England 2019 here.
For example, January is known for having cheap last minute deals as lots of people don't travel, or have the budget to travel, after Christmas.
Other things to consider when deciding when to book
Can you travel mid-week?
Often Tuesdays have the most seats available and mid week flights can often be cheaper. If you want to travel on the weekend be aware that some airlines can charge more for popular business travel routes and on Fridays & Sundays.
Have you tried using a travel agent?
Travel companies generally offer good early booking deals for those booking up to six months or more before they'd like to depart. See here for the best early booking deals for 2019. Also they do all the hard work for you and can explain what and where you are saving money.
Keep an eye on prices and set up alerts.
Google flights, Skyscanner and Hopper are a useful way of keeping an eye on the cost of flights. If you keep an eye on prices ahead of time you can see whether the price drop is significant enough for you to believe it is a 'good deal'. You can get an idea of types of holidays and the prices here.

(Forgive me if I posted this on the wrong forum, newbie here.)
I am a long time user of Band In The Box software to assist my midi backing tracks. Currently, I use a Yamaha Tyros as my playback/recording source for the instruments. I am looking to improve the sound quality of my melody track. Usually, I will use the Saxophone instrument for my melody track. The Tyros Sax sound is "ok," but I'm wanting a more realistic type sounding Sax for the lead.
Band In The Box 2006 supports the use of DXI instruments and I am interested to see how well JABB integrates with BB before I make the purchase. I would only need to use JABB for the melody/harmony midi track of BB. (I can render melody directly to a wave file from within BB to be used in an outside sequencer.)
I am familiar with how DXI operates in BB. Which GPO/JABB soundset should I be looking to purchase? Can I purchase from this site? Are the patches GM compatible? Thanks in advance for the advice. I look forward to being a GPO/JABB user.

Fix Version/s: 1.4
Component/s: Tags & Metadata
from http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/5259
When the tagger encounters a file with tags in a format it isn't expecting (presumably checking by extension) it simply refuses to read it. Or alternatively, if it encounters a file extension it doesn't recognise, it won't try anyway. An example is the ".aac" HE-AAC files produced by Winamp, which use ID3 (v2.4 I think) tags. With the ".aac" extension, it won't open them. If I rename them to ".m4a" or similar, it will read them, and display the tags, but won't do anything with them, citing a "moov not found" error.
But if I simply change the extension to ".mp3" it reads and tags them with no issues whatsoever. It'd be great if when the tagger can't find tags it's expecting, it just did a "brute force" search for ANY tags it can handle. I'm using Windows 7 x64, but this issue also occurs on Windows Vista x86, and Linux AMD64.

As a side note Picard already supports some simple mime type detection for image files. This could be expanded for audio files, too.
and luks with
Mutagen itself supports that, see the score method on file format classes. That will return a score based on scanning the first few bytes of the file and the extension.

Here is Why You Should Not Throw Out the Sprouted Garlic
We are certain that most of you throw away the little green garlic bulbs that sprout out of the cloves. Well, it turns out that this is a big mistake, because the garlic sprouts are rih in antioxidants such as allicin, alliin and allyl disulfide.
This is why the sprouted garlic is much more beneficial than the one which is not sprouted. In addition we present to you a list of the benefits that you will get from the sprouted garlic.
Sprouted Garlic
It will boost your immune system
Because it will provide you with a high content of antioxidant properties, the sprouted garlic strengthens the immune system and prevents colds and infections.
Improve the health of your heart
The sprouted garlic also contains phytochemicals which inhibit the activity of the carcinoogens, boost the function of the enzymes, prevent the formation of plaque. The deposits of plaque lead to heart diseases, heart attacks, and consuming sprouted garlic will protect you from all of that.
You can even prevent a stroke
The garlic is abundant in ajoene, which is a compound that widens the arteries and prevents any clogging of the blood. It is also, as we previously mentioned, rich in phytochemicals which inhibit the activity of the chemicals that create the clogging of the blood, and in this way, the stroke is prevented.
You will not get any food poisoning
The antioxidants which are present in the sprouted garlic can fight the viral and the fungal diseases, helping in the case of being food poisoned, soothing cramps, diarrhea, and offering a lot of various health benefits.
Lowers your risk of cancer
This is a very healthy vegetable which is filled with vitamins, minerals, and plenty of other nutrients, and because of all this, it prevents the damage which is caused by the free radicals. The sprouting stimulates the further production of pythochemicals which protect against the development of the malignant cells and obstruct the activity of the carcinogens.
The high content in antioxidants also will help you prevent this deadly disease from ever attacking your body.
Will prevent the premature aging process
The antioxidants, again, found in the garlic sprouts will fight the free radicals effectively thus preventing any wrinkles or premature aging.
Sprouting garlic
If you want to stimulate the sprouting of the garlic, you should definitely leave it out in the open. When you are at home, take two toothpicks, and poke them in a pod of garlic. The garlic should be left unpeeled.
Next, fill a small and narrow cup of water, and place the garlic pod on its rim, and a narrow part from it to be submerged in the water. Keep it on the window, and after five days, you will notice the sprouts growing.

Beverage Packaging Market Forecast 2014-2024
|LONDON, March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Future Prospects for Leading Companies
The beverage packaging market is set to grow in the next 10 years at a fairly flat rate, the market will be driven by evolving consumer and demographic trends as well as fast economic growth in the developing markets across the globe, particularly in Asia and South America. Visiongain's analysis indicates that the global beverage packaging market will reach a value of $105.24bn in 2014.
One of the key trends will be the growing global population meaning that the demand for beverages and therefore the demand for beverage packaging will be higher in the next 10 years. The location of this population will also have a major impact on the beverage packaging market in the future. Urbanisation globally is ever increasing and in particular it is accelerating in emerging economies such as India and China. This means that more convenience products will be demanded as these consumers are more time constrained thus the demand for packaged goods will increase. Further to this, with the development and growth of these emerging economies there will be more middle class consumers with higher disposable incomes. Therefore, demand for premium beverages will also increase and thus once again the demand for beverage packaging will increase.
An issue that will have a major impact on the beverage packaging market is that regarding environmental issues associated with packaging. These are issues such as recyclability and sustainability. This has become a more important point to consider for manufacturers because consumers are more aware of their products and the impact they have on the environment. They are seeking out products that are more environmentally friendly and are looking for more information on packaging regarding this. A similar trend is also seen with food safety and this applies to beverages too. Consumers want packaging that they can trust to be hygienic and safe. A further development of consumers affecting the beverage packaging market is that of the increasingly health conscious consumer which is affecting the beverage packaging market. This has meant that consumers are looking at packaging ever more for the nutritional information of the beverage – and beverage packaging market dynamics have changed and will continue to do so to cater for this trend.
Visiongain believes the beverage packaging market will perform well in the next 10 years and that the majority of growth will be fuelled by the emerging markets, increase in urbanisation, the increase in the 'on-the-go consumer' resulting from this, and the rising incomes of people in many developing economies.

You might be comfortable paying off your mortgage now, but what if things change? Here are some tips on how to avoid a mortgage stress fracture.
Paying off a mortgage is one of the biggest financial challenges you and your family will ever tackle.
And it isn't easy – mortgage repayments take up about one-quarter of a family's income on average, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' 2016 Census.
While most families manage, what happens if your circumstances change?
An unexpected redundancy, relationship breakdown, illness or accident can dramatically impact your ability to make your payments and put you in mortgage stress.
But first, what is mortgage stress?
While there isn't a technical definition for the term, mortgage stress is generally considered to occur when a person or family is spending 30% or more of their income on home loan repayments.
There are also a range of other criteria which would suggest you're experience mortgage stress.
If you're paying only the interest on your home loan, borrowing money from family, or having difficulty paying your bills, then you might be experiencing mortgage stress.
I don't have a problem now, why worry?
It's unwise to assume your circumstances will never change. An accident or illness can befall a person at any time, and the impact on your finances can be devastating.
An increase in interest rates can also have a significant impact on your mortgage repayments. A simple 0.25% rate hike can increase repayments on the average Australian loan ($375,000) by about $50 a month.
Over the course of a year – and with a potential of further rate hikes – this can really chew into your disposable income.
Ok, so how can I avoid it?
The smart borrower won't wait for their circumstances to change, they'll start planning now to make sure they can weather a storm if it hits.
Steps you can take to reduce your risk include:
Step 1: Use a mortgage calculator to see what your repayments would will look like if there was a rate increase. Would you be able to keep up?
Step 2: Review your current income and expenses, and make a new family budget. Use it to track where your money is going and where savings can be made, so you can either pay off your mortgage sooner or get by if things go awry.
Step 3: If you're worried about your mortgage, or concerned about the impact of a future rate hike, come pay us a visit.
We can talk to you about your situation and help you make a plan to ensure a small problem doesn't become a big one.

Almost one million Aussie households are
staring down a mortgage 'time bomb'
Almost one million middle-income Australian households are facing a mortgage time bomb as soaring living costs plunge families into repayment stress.
A new analysis by Digital Finance Analytics (DFA) has shown that the number of households currently in mortgage distress has risen by 20 percent in the last six months to 910,000.
At the current rate, more than one million households will be struggling to make repayments on their home loan in 2018.
Primary factors ratcheting up the stress faced by families include stagnant wage growth, living pay cheque to pay cheque and the looming threat of a rise in interest rates.
Martin North, Principal of Digital Finance Analytics, says that the risks of more middle-income families borrowing enormous loans from the banks are rising.
"Risks in the system continue to rise, and while recent strengthening of lending standards will help protect new borrowers, there are many households currently holding loans which would not now be approved," said North.
"The number of households impacted are economically significant, especially as household debt continues to climb to new record levels. Mortgage lending is still growing at three times income.
"This is not sustainable."
Broken down by region, NSW had the most households in stress with 238.703, followed by Victoria with 250,259, Queensland with 162,726 and WA with 121,393.
Households are defined as being "stressed" when their net income does not cover ongoing costs, including repayments on their home loans.
Households that have a tight budget but manage to make ends meet are defined as being "mildly stressed", and those who are unable to make a mortgage repayment within the next 30 days are defined as being "severely stressed".
Nine Network's Finance Editor Ross Greenwood said that it's "pretty obvious" why families are struggling.
"Families are struggling with rising costs. Rising health insurance premiums, rising electricity bills and on top of that, many families have taken on very big mortgages," said Greenwood.
"Now if their wages aren't growing fast then quite clearly they are going to struggle.
"Another worrying statistic is that there are now 52,000 households that this organisation has identified that are now 30 days behind on their mortgage repayments, that means technically banks could walk in and close them up."
Independent Analysis
I have been in the mortgage brokering industry now for approximately twenty years and I have now seen a whole generation of Australians take out mortgages who have no experience of what a 7-8% interest rate mortgage is. Many of these borrowers insisted on borrowing to their maximum capacity. Although in the last six months banks have been tightening up on what any new borrowers can get loan amount wise, there is still many years of previous borrowers who pretty much were able to borrow almost anything they wanted.
Recently we have seen not only banks but many other commercial enterprises prey on the Australian consumer with increased prices (energy companies being one of the notable ones). Although many borrowers have budgeted diligently there would be very few of them that would have factored in some of the essential services price rises we are seeing.
The Solution
For many there may not be a solution, however our advice is to drill down on your budget and find every last cent you can find and start paying it onto your mortgage. I would recommend you beg, borrow, and tighten your budget belt to find whatever you can to pay toward your home mortgage in order to escape the mortgage stress that may be headed your way in the not too distant future.
Also, get with your home mortgage broker, because if you have a 4 in front of your home mortgage you are probably paying too much.

Air Canada investigating after woman left in empty, locked airplane
Air Canada says it is investigating after a passenger claims she was left alone in a pitch-dark airplane after it landed in Toronto.
In a post on Air Canada's Facebook page, Tiffani Adams says she fell asleep during her 90 minute flight home from Quebec City on June 9. She says the next thing she remembers is waking up inside the freezing cold aircraft still strapped into her seat around midnight, approximately two hours after her flight landed.
"I think I'm having a bad dream bc like seriously how is this happening!!?!" Adams writes.
Adams says she attempted to contact friends and family but her cellphone battery dies. She manages to find a flashlight in the airplane's cockpit and uses it to send a distress signal out to anyone who may be nearby.
Adams says she managed to open the door to the plane but was faced with a 40 to 50 foot drop to the ground as there is no way for her to get down.
"I search frantically for a rope so I can climb down to safely (flight attendants seat is right by door I opened) but the seatbelt is too short to hang from so back to my distress signals," she writes. "Now I'm hanging out the door reflecting the flashlight off the side of the plane (figuring reflective exterior will catch someone's attention in the distance)."
Adams says she manages to catch the attention of a luggage cart driver, who brought her a ladder dock which she used to get off the airplane. She was then met by an Air Canada representative, who apologized and offered her a ride and hotel accommodation but Adams says all she wanted to do was go home.
An Air Canada spokesperson declined to comment on its disembarking procedures or how the passenger may have been overlooked but told CityNews they have followed up with Adams and remain in contact her.
"We are still reviewing this matter so I have no additional details to share," said Peter Fitzpatrick.
Adams says she continues to experience anxiety and insomnia since the incident occurred.
"I haven't got much sleep since the reoccurring night terrors and waking up anxious and afraid I'm alone locked up someplace dark," she writes. "Please share if you know of anyone who has gone through this I don't like feeling so alone."

It will come as welcome news to globetrotters and international businessmen alike that Sydney airport is about to lift its controversial ban on UberX with a dedicated area for drivers of the ride sharing service to collect passengers.
An area next to the T2 and T3 terminals used by Qantas, Virgin Australia, Jetstar, Tigerair and Rex, and potentially the T1 international terminal (where you can already use UberBlack) will be devoted to UberX pick-ups.
"Sydney Airport is currently developing new arrangements to accommodate all booked service operators at the airport, including ride sharing services services such as Uber, as well as limousines and pre-booked taxis," a spokesperson for Sydney Airport confirmed to Australian Business Traveller. "We will shortly be consulting with our airport partners regarding these new proposed arrangements."
UberX rides from the airport to the Sydney CBD are in fact 20-30% cheaper than the equivalent taxi fare, and let's be honest, a much more comfortable and pleasant experience in general.
Despite the airport's accommodation for UberX, drivers will be charged an 'access fee' to use the designated T2/T3 pick-up zone. Taxi drivers currently pay $4.10 to enter Sydney Airport's pick-up area, with that fee being added to your fare at the end of the trip.
Good news for Uber-loving travellers who are sick of the cheeky nearby airport hotel pickup.

Foxcatcher - A Review
By Marilyn Penn (bio)
The most remarkable thing about Foxcatcher, a movie about two seriously damaged protagonists, is its refusal to offer anything resembling a psycho-babble interpretation for the unusual circumstances we have witnessed. There is no over-arching tying up of unraveled cords as frequently occurs in movies when the creators don't trust their audience to parse the subtext accurately. Instead, the screenwriters, director and cast have all done their jobs so expertly that we have understood what the characters have thought and felt without any verbal explanations.
The plot concerns the interaction between John duPont, an eccentric scion of one of America's wealthiest families and Mark Schulz, an Olympic gold medal wrestler who leads a solitary and inauspicious life. Du Pont entices Schulz to live on his opulent estate where he will be the hired coach - assistant to John - for what the mogul hopes will be the US wrestling team, combining his passion for the sport with his equally patriotic fervor for America. Played by Steve Carell with facial prosthetics that have him resembling his own nickname of golden eagle, the character is predatory, elusive and taciturn, leaving us to rely mainly on his body language and his very controlled reactions to the people around him, most significantly his aged mother (Vanessa Redgrave). Channing Tatum plays Mark in an equally transformative role, his normally handsome head looking more Neanderthal than we would have imagined possible, fitting well with his inarticulate longings and feelings of betrayal. Mark Ruffalo is Dave, his older brother, also a champion wrestler, but one who has transitioned into successful adulthood with a family of his own, a job and paternal concern for his younger brother. The scenes in which the two brothers physically interact with their wrestling moves are poignantly revealing of what they cannot express to each other in words. Dave tries over and over again to get Mark to tell him what's bothering him but the younger man is no more capable of self-analysis than Lenny in Of Mice and Men. Tensions escalate at the Foxcatcher facility after du Pont hires Dave to be in charge of preparing the team for the world championships and after several other pivotal events that lead to a startling conclusion. Since this is a story based on real people, I thought that many in the audience would already know how this unfolds but suffice it to say that a collective gasp, from myself included, proved me wrong.
Foxcatcher moves at a steady, quiet pace that brings its own tension in comparison with the much noisier soundtracks that we are used to hearing in most movies (Birdman, Whiplash to name two). There are some abrupt blackouts on screeen, along with some quick camera moves away from its main subject that also enhance our feeling that we are not on terra firma. In a way, the camera mimics the essence of wrestling - to pin one's opponent to the ground by moves designed to upset his balance. Bennet Miller, the director and Frye and Futterman as screenwriters, have created a surprising and sensitive movie whose characters are brought memorably to life by actors revealing hidden depths to their talents, along with their new visual personae. Because the interpretations have wisely been left to us to explore, there is the added pleasure of discussing this movie with others who have seen it, an afterglow to insure the movie's ongoing resonance.

Accountants Confidence Index -- September 2013
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
After three months of rises, our Accountants Confidence Index dropped sharply for this month, with expectations of contraction in the short-term.
The ACI, created in partnership with ADP, is a monthly economic indicator that leverages the insights of accountants into the strength and prospects of businesses in the U.S. The 3-Month and 6-Month ACI readings for this month were split on either side of 50, which is the divider between growth and contraction. The 3-Month ACI came in at 49.14, down from 50.96, while the 6-Month ACI hit 51.47, down from 53.25.
Most of the index components dropped somewhat, with the biggest declines in the mid-term outlook for large businesses, and the short-term outlook for small businesses.
The ACI is created from a monthly poll of the Accounting Today Executive Research Council, an online community of more than 1,500 tax and accounting professionals.
