NEIL Kitching wants to keep looking up as Rushall Olympic's expected season of consolidation turns into a promotion push.
The Pics, promoted via the play-offs last May, have quickly settled into their first campaign at Step Three and, having moved to eighth place in the Evo-Stik NPL Premier, they today test their play-off hopes against visitors Marine at Dales Lane.
Manager Kitching is happy to keep raising the bar for his young players.
"We are having to learn about this level but we are learning quickly," he said. "What we lack in experience, we make up for in will to win and a determination not to be beaten. We want to keep pushing to go higher for as long as possible."
The Pics' spirit was shown in last week when they claimed a 4-2 win at Burscough, despite having Luke Bottomer sent off, losing three players to injury, and falling behind.
"We showed fantastic team spirit," added Kitching.
Mitchell Tolley and Louis Keenan both miss today's game but Marco Adaggio will be fit.

|Version 15 (modified by 12 years ago) (diff),
--HB's 2c--
GRASS 6.3.0 will be a beta release for GRASS 6.4, but it will be the first GRASS release since 6.2.0 (31 Oct 2006) to include new features. As the code is generally bug-free and the release has gone through a RC QA cycle, we can consider than many people will use this version. In fact I don't think William even offers a GRASS 6.2.3 binary anymore for OSX.
Thus a major release announcement is warranted.
This means we should try and focus on the big issue changes since 6.2.3, not minor bug fixes since 6.3.0-rc6. Users can look at the SVN Changelog if they want to know about that. We can talk about major changes: Joining OSGeo and the new home for the homepage, move to SVN, new modules like r.li.*, v.edit, the wxPython GUI, native MS Windows support, etc.
I also think we should continue to host the release announcement on the website as for earlier releases. The trac wiki is fine for working documents but for press releases it seems like greeting the customer at a desk in the corner of the back workshop. The wiki is a fine place to collaboratively write the document, but the final version should end up in SVN. (if only to preserve it well for historical purposes) The SVN/web version is a crisp white page with no distractions.
--end of HB's 2c--
DRAFT DOCUMENT: GRASS GIS 6.3.0 Release

blurb: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-web/trunk/announces/abstract_grass630.txt
This is for a couple of reasons:
1) we had edits in both this wiki page and the SVN. Parallel development confusion slows collaboration to a grinding halt as you try and keep the two in sync.
2) It is much easier to compose using your favorite text editor versus an online web app.

A poem in response to a poem is today's prompt.
A Passive-Agressive Note to K. Khan, Esq., Landlord
The rent is great. The view is nice.
The sun, though, melts the caves of ice.
We can't find pleasure in this dome
With ice melt threatening our home.
And I don't know what's wrong with her,
Our neighbor with a dulcimer—
She won't shut up. We cannot stay.

You've just finished installing that beautiful window sign and you're damn proud of it. The owner is ecstatic; just raving about how brilliant you are and about how much more business he's going to have. You take the check and drive away. And you've just wasted one of your best advertising opportunities - the sign itself.
We all get referrals from satisfied customers, but many people are not bold enough to walk into a strangers business and ask who made their sign. Without resorting to taping your business card to the sign (which rarely lasts and always looks bad) how can you mark the sign in some relatively permanent way so that anyone checking it out can identify it as yours.
Another good reason for marking your tubing is quality control: dating the tube to validate warranty service or to track changes made in equipment, materials or technique.
In researching this article we tried a lot of crap that was supposed to last on glass and didn't. If you know of materials that work other than listed here, please write. If you want to experiment on your own here are some things that we wasted money on that didn't work that you can strike off your list: "lab markers", ceramic inks, and those stickers you see on some borosilicate manifolds.
In the What Does Work Category we have several different materials. I can't say that there is one of them that is best for every application; the complete shop will need several of these products depending on the situation. So here are my favorites:
1) All- Stabilo-Pen (Wale Apparatus 610-838-7047)
This is like an extra-fine point felt tip pen except that it stays on glass. This can be applied before or after bombarding. The fine point writes VERY well. It dries almost instantaneously (not smearing when handled). It can be rubbed off if necessary, more easily before heating than after; holds up for 1 - 2 years exposed. A great all around, easy to use, quick and dirty marker. Cost: $2.00
2) Pilot Gold Marker / Berol Prismacolor Art Marker (Gold)
(available at most art supply stores)
This is an enamel based pen where the paint flows out the nib while writing; with practice it works pretty good. It takes about 30 seconds to air dry and is possible to scratch off at this time but no problem in normal handling. The beauty of this material is that after it is heated (in a flame or during normal bombarding where it changes from gold to dark silver) it becomes very hard. It is possible, but very difficult to scratch off after heating. People that have been using this for a long time report it lasting 2 to 5 years. Like the Stabilo it's fast, versatile identification. Cost: $4.00
3) GE Black Monogram Ink (GE Chemical Products 216-266-4611)
Now we get to permanent. This is the stuff that most tubing manufacturers mark their glass with. It has the consistency of screen printing ink (which is the method that Technolux uses to identify their glass - although the US importer didn't want to talk about exactly what ink they were using). To mark the glass you use a felt stamping pad and a common rubber stamp that you can have made to your specifications just like EGL and old style Voltarc. In our shop we have also used a changeable date stamp. The ink does not air dry which makes it difficult to use; GE says bake for 6 minutes at 350 degrees C. I have found that heating in the fires works well (stamping a logo near a bend or splice just before heating the glass). We have also stamped the tubes just before bombarding and had good results; this is not following the manufacturer's instructions and I cannot attest to how long the stuff will last doing it this way, but I cannot scrape it off the tube.
Overall this stuff is less versatile than some other materials here, but it is permanent. It is also kind of expensive: it only comes from GE in approx. 16 oz. jars. This is a lifetime supply. There may be some neon supply companies who are going to market smaller amounts - look around. Cost: $120.00 for 16oz.
4) Stickers (Dan-Russ Enterprises 803-794-0891)
These are the same kind of stickers that auto dealers put on trunk lids and football team supporters stick on their back windows: this stuff doesn't go away. Exposed life is over 5 years. Obviously this is best used as logo / advertising, and it is great at that: the screened on letters or logo can be any color(s), shape, whatever. The best we have tried is screened on a backing which is slightly frosted. Obviously they only go on after the tube is finished, but placement can be optimized. They can be removed. Cost: a 12" x 18" sheet (this is probably a couple hundred logos) is about $75.00 including first time setup.

The Month of February | Monthly Bulletin | 2019 | The Power of Agreement
From the Pastors Desk
The Power of Agreement
As we enter the month of February, it is almost impossible to ignore the endless references to love and relationships that will saturate the media over the coming weeks. Akin to this, as a personal testimony for our local church, February is a monumental time each year when we celebrate the years that God has blessed our church family, NTA Tooting, with the immeasurable bonds and relationships it has formed for nearly six decades; this year we celebrate our 58th anniversary.
To God be the glory. There truly is power in agreement. Not only is it 'good and pleasant' for us to live together in unity (Psalm 133:1), but the Word of God also poses the critical question in Amos 3:3: 'Can two walk together, unless they are agreed'. Successful relationships need an authentic level of agreement.

Community Patrol members are "absolutely delighted" to have a vehicle to help keep their streets safe.
Four years of fundraising culminated in buying the late model Toyota Rav 4, which volunteers use for patrolling and helping police when needed.
The group's aim is crime prevention, checking the streets on weekends with a team of 25 volunteers.
The patrol started in 2009, and monitors the suburbs of Outram, Mosgiel, Brighton, Green Island, Allanton and further afield when needed.
Chairman Dave Buchanan said the community patrol was the police's "eyes and ears".
"Our operation has grown 10-fold and we're now working with emergency response as well as police, so we can do our job better.
"We couldn't do it without the support of local residents and I think they're very supportive of us."
Committee member Valda Gardiner said the 25 patrol members gave up about 1350 hours each year, so a new vehicle was fantastic.
"It's been a long time coming so it's great to finally have it here. It means we can continue to keep Mosgiel and surrounding areas safe."
Mrs Gardiner said the patrol was always looking for new volunteers.

Michael Barry say, "Don't test the water with both feet"
I remember this one time being at Trunk Bay and a Spotted Eagle Ray jumped out of the water in front of us. There were some visitors near by and everyone gasped. Then I said in a loud voice to my son Jackson, "I bet you $100 it jumps again!" Sure enough it did.

EURUSD continues its upward movement and the rise from 1.1876 extended to as high as 1.3333 level. Support levels are at 1.3119 and 1.2900, as long as these levels hold, uptrend is expected to continue and further rise to 1.3500 is still possible next week. However, below 1.2900 support will suggest that a cycle top is being formed on daily chart, then consolidation of uptrend could be seen.
For long term analysis, EURUSD formed a cycle bottom at 1.1876 level on weekly chart. Bounce towards 1.4000 is expected in next several months.

The Colonial City of Santo Domingo itself is a treasure that Dominicans offer the world as one of our main tourist attractions. This is why on December 8th 1990, it was declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site.
Within our Colonial City lie a series of treasures that Dominicans and visitors are unaware of, and which possess a historical value of immeasurable dimension, at the same time that they are the legacy of over five centuries of the work and development of a community that has been changing and evolving according to the times.
This year, we dedicate our institutional agenda to the Treasures protected in the Museums of the Colonial City, with the aim of raising awareness on the great tangible value therein preserved and that we should all explore.
In order to achieve creating this 2015 edition, five museums were visited and over two hundred historical pieces were photographed, among which were selected the Treasures that we finally display within the pages of this agenda.
To VICINI, preserving our identity, culture and treasures as Dominicans, is a commitment and a work that we will continue to support, for the development of our nation is built on the foundation of our legacy.

4 Steps To Bettering Your Business Following A Bad Experience
Posted in Synergy Suggestions on 12.05.16 by John Meloche
In yesterday's blog, we touched upon the topic of rebounding from a loss. This generally tough task is not one that is shared by professional sports teams alone. Businesses of all sizes experience losses that they must overcome. In addition to the attitude adjustments outlined in our blog yesterday, there are some important steps that can be taken to better your business following a bad experience.
Here are four:
1. Make use of the knowledge you've attained. All mistakes are worth making as long as you've learned from them. The longer you take to get over your bad experience, the worse you are making things for your business. To put it bluntly, get over it. And the best way to do that is to implement what you've learned into your next venture. On TinyBuddha.com, Lori Deschene explains the importance of acting on what you've learned.
"Anything can be useful if we learn from it and then do something with that knowledge," she encourages, "The second part is where a lot of us get tripped up, and understandably so. On the one hand, we know that consistency is crucial to creating positive change. On the other, we know that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
2. Pinpoint the root cause of the problem. Of course, in order to avoid making the same mistake again, you'll have to have a clear idea about what the mistake was. Too often, people make the mistake of sticking to their guns when their guns aren't loaded. In other words, change what you're doing if you expect different results. As Deschene pointed out, it's insane to do otherwise!
And as Jose Vasquez communicates on HuffingtonPost.com, it's important to reflect on the root cause of your problem in order to avoid it in future. "There isn't always a single identifiable root cause, but do what you can to sort out the reasons for the failure," he writes, "Sometimes these are internal, sometimes these are external and sometimes they're completely random. But you have to understand them if you're going to learn anything."
3. Don't take it personally. When you make a mistake that costs your business money, it's pretty difficult not to take it personally. You feel bad for making the mistake and don't want it to reflect poorly on those associated with your business. But remember, it is just business. And what people may think of you, because of your business-related error, doesn't make you a bad person.
"As much as we'd like to believe hard works always pays off, sometimes there are things beyond our control that have nothing to do with what we did or didn't do," Deschene reminds us, "This may be the reason a lot of people try and try again only to achieve the same results. Some things are just harder to do than others… We can always find room for improvement, but sometimes we need to accept that results aren't always reciprocal to efforts."
4. Apologize! To be honest, this step belongs at the top of the list. Saying "sorry" goes a long way in repairing relationships marred by mistakes. At Synergy Marketing, we've learned that one of the best ways to apologize is through gift-giving. To place your order for the promo gift of your choice, call Synergy Marketing at 1-877-748-9884 between 9am and 5pm EST or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

If you went to the early screening of The LEGO Movie 2 yesterday, some theaters gave out a polybag along with your purchase which was Emmet's 'Piece' Offering (30340). It has 44 pieces and if you didn't get one, they are available for purchase at Target and Walmart.
The Emmet minifigure shows him with his tattered uniform and he has a double-sided head with a happy expression on one side and an angry look on the other. This version of Emmet is also in Emmet and Benny's 'Build and Fix Workshop' (70821).
The build is very simple and the result is of a heart. I didn't go see the screening as I had a prior engagement before it was announced so I have no idea what the heart represents but I do have an idea.
The Emmet's 'Piece' Offering (30340) polybag isn't as cool as the other polybags for The LEGO Movie 2 but if you're a collector and/or a completionist, you'll probably want to pick this one up as well. Again, this polybag is also available at Walmart at the LEGO section and at Target either at the Valentine's section or at the checkout lanes and is priced at $3.99.

How to Get an iPod Touch out of Recovery Mode With iRecovery for Windows
As iPods become more technologically advanced, the ways in which errors can occur increases. For example, iPods occasionally get stuck in "recovery mode," never able to properly boot up due to an error in the coding. This can pose a major problem, as you may use your iPod for business related applications such as email or document reading. By using the iRecovery application for Windows, however, you can correct this error and boot your iPod Touch and have your device ready once again.
Plug your iPod Touch into the USB port of your Windows computer using a USB cable.
Download the iRecovery application for Windows (see Resources).
Unzip the Zip file's contents. This should create a new folder in the same directory as the zip file. Double-click the folder.
Right-click on the file labeled "libusb," then click on "Properties" | "Compatibility" | "Run This Program in Compatibility Mode" | "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)."
Right-click the libusb file again and select "Run as Administrator." Follow the installation instruction to install the file.
Open a command line terminal by clicking "Start," then "Run," and then entering "cmd" in the Run prompt. Press "Enter."
Run the iRecovery application by navigating to the location to which you downloaded the file and entering the start command:
cd C:\Users\username\Documents\Downloads\iRecovery\iRecovery_SVN iRecovery -s
Enter the following commands, one after the other, in the command terminal:
setenv auto-boot true saveenv /exit
Unplug your iPod Touch and reboot it.

(Reuters) - Mitt Romney's support of the coal industry during his debate with President Obama sent coal company stocks higher on Thursday, analysts said.
"It's amazing what 15 words about coal in a presidential debate can do for the stocks," said Michael Dudas of Sterne Agee.
"These stocks have been volatile, but you can't discount what a man running for president said about coal. Call it the Romney rally."
During Wednesday's debate with Obama, Republican candidate Romney brought up coal during a discussion of energy policies.
"By the way, I like coal. I'm going to make sure we can continue to burn clean coal," said the former head of the private equity firm, Bain Capital.
"People in the coal industry feel like it's getting crushed by your policies," he told Obama.
In morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Arch Coal ACI.N rose 6.7 percent to $6.62, Alpha Natural Resources ANR.N shares were up 5.2 percent at $6.63, Consol Energy CNX.N was 4.9 percent higher at $31.18, Peabody Energy BTU.N gained 4.2 percent to $22.74 and Walter Energy WLT.N was up 4.6 percent at $32.80.
The Dow Jones coal index .DJUSCL was 5.05 percent higher.
Wall Street analysts agreed that in the absence of any macro-economic news, or industry-specific developments, Romney's support of coal was driving the shares up.
"There is investor perception that Romney would be a better advocate for coal," said Lucas Pipes, of Brean Murray Carret & Co.
And Kuni Chen, of CRT Capital Group, said: "There is a little positive sentiment after the debate, some speculation that maybe Romney can win."

If you're currently taking an aromatase inhibitor and having blindness, you may want yer to talk it to your doctor about this study and ask passengers if taking Deflazacort is right for you and your unique situation.

When I Was Little: Before There Was Medication, Part I
This story is about neither a good thing, nor a not-so-good thing. Rather, it is about an ADHD moment, and a defining moment in my life, when I realized that not everyone saw life the way I did. I apologize in advance to anyone whom this story may offend, but it really did happen this way and it really was 1974, which was not a time when political-correctness abounded. I mean, Nixon was still in the White House. I'm just sayin'.
So, I'm seven, it's 1974 and Randy Ferg (names altered to protect the innocent) sat in front of me in Mrs. Anderson's classroom. Everybody was in their seat, except for Randy, who apparently missed the bus. I'm checking over my math homework, prior to turning it in. Just then, Mrs. Tucker's voice came through on the intercom.
Mrs. Tucker: "Mrs. Anderson? Randy Ferg's mother called in. He's gone retarded and won't be in until after lunch."
Mrs. Anderson (nodding and making a notation in her gradebook): "Alright Mrs. Tucker. Thank you for letting us know."
What?? I looked wildly around the room. To my left was Art Felt, whom we all called "Artie-Fartie." He was casually chatting up the girl next to him. Neither of them showed any signs of shock, surprise or disbelief regarding Mrs. Tucker's announcement. In fact, the entire classroom appeared calm, collected and ready to learn. HAD THE WORLD GONE MAD???
My mind raced with questions, too fast for normal human thought to register. First, and foremost was the question - you can just go retarded??? You could just wake up retarded?? How? Was it contagious? I'd shared part of my peanut butter sandwich with Randy earlier in the week. Should I go see the nurse? My hand hovered in the air for a split-second before I was overcome with even more questions. If you go retarded, then your mom just calls you in? Like if you had the flu? I mean, poor Randy. And how had Randy's mom known that he'd gone retarded? Had Randy himself told her? If so, how? And if he did tell her, how had HE known? I mean, wasn't he retarded now? And how did she know he wasn't faking it, just to get out of going to school? Or had Randy's mother Just Known? And was it reversible?? Obviously so, if Randy's mom planned on bringing him to school after lunch.
For the rest of that morning, I waited and I watched. And I wondered why Mrs. Anderson wasn't moving desks to make room for Randy's wheelchair, which he would probably need now that he'd gone retarded. I recall thinking that Mrs. Anderson didn't seem to CARE about Randy's situation, and that ticked me off. So much so, that I decided to do something about it.
During lunchtime recess, I gathered all of my classmates around me in a huddle. It went down something like this:
Me: "Ok guys. You all heard what Mrs. Tucker said about Randy this morning, right?"
Artie-Fartie: "Yeah, he's going to be late. Man, he better have my Stretch Armstrong with him. He promised he'd bring it back yesterday."
Me: "Forget about Stretch Armstrong Artie-Fa..Artie! Poor Randy has bigger problems!"
Artie-Fartie: "Oh yeah? Like what?"
Me: "Well, like going retarded, for one."
The general consensus among my classmates was that nobody had heard Mrs. Tucker tell Mrs. Anderson that Randy had gone retarded. I was the only one who heard it. Some kids actually dared to accuse me of making it up! I was outraged, but I also knew I was right, and assigned jobs accordingly.
Me: "Joe, you can push Randy in his wheelchair. And Sue, you'll need to count out Randy's lunch money everyday, cuz he probably forgot how to add and stuff."
More silence. Two girls wandered off toward the swings. Whatever. This was not the first, nor would it be the last, time I would swim against popular opinion. The bell rang and we slowly trickled to our classrooms.
Back in our room, wonder of wonders, was Randy! I looked him up and down, checking for any signs that he recognized me. He looked the same as he had the day before. Good for him! As the bell rang, and we settled into our seats, Randy slowly turned in his seat until he was facing me. I expected that he was getting ready to ask for help tying his shoes, and flexed my fingers in preparation.
Randy: "Um...did you tell everybody at school that I'd gone retarded?"
Me: "You can TALK!"
Randy: "Um, yeah. Just like I could yesterday. So, why did you tell everybody I was retarded?"
Me: "Mrs. Tucker told us."
Randy: "Mrs. Tucker said I was retarded?"
By this time, our little exchange had the attention of the entire second grade. I sat up a little bit straighter and lifted my chin. This was Mrs. Tucker's mistake, no way was I going to take the fall.
Me: "That's right! She came over the loudspeaker and said 'Mrs. Anderson. Randy Ferg's mother called and said he won't be here till after lunch, he's gone retarded."
Randy closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath.
"Not retarded, you idgit! TARDY! My mom called and said I was going to be tardy!"
Me: "Oh."
So. I didn't have super hearing abilities after all. What I did have was wax build-up in my left ear. This, when combined with my vivid imagination, distractibility, lack of impulse control, high emotional output, naivete, and utter belief in the rightness of my conviction, led to just one of what would be many misunderstandings in my life.
Randy, if you're out there, you know who you are. This goes out to you.

Thanks Sue, I tried! I was truly convinced he'd be in a wheelchair, on life support and using a straw to tap on his keyboard so he could communicate with us. But I've always had somewhat of a dramatic lean. When I was 7 I found out about Hellen Keller and I thought "Holy Sh*t! That could happen to me!" So I....wait! Next blog!ReplyDelete
This just might be one of the funniest things I've read...which is a huge feat because I pride myself on not only being an excellent story teller, but also on being a funny mother focker; it takes a lot for someone else's humor to make me laugh. Not only do I appreciate your wicked smart "funny," I appreciate your crazy and rapid thought process when analyzing a situation as I have the same machine gun fire-like thinking...it's both a blessing and a curse!ReplyDelete

Getting a comfortable and solid shoe/pedal interface just got a whole lot easier with the launch of Shimano?s Custom Fit shoe range.
Along with the full carbon sole, 18mm wide ratchet, and anti-bacterial, heat formable insole, the top-line shoes use three pieces of thermo-form plastic between the synthetic leather outer and one-way knap lining: a mouldable heel cup, a large, almost triangular piece across the bridge of the foot, and a long, thin strip running from beneath the strap to just past the last knuckle on the little toe.
First shoes are heated to 130 degrees in a special oven, the foot inserted and foot and shoe placed in a special sealed bag. A vacuum pump is attached and the process of sucking air from the bag conforms the shoe to every little lump and bump on your foot. This should mean you no longer have to constrict your feet with super-tight straps to prevent unwanted movement.
Initial impressions are positive and we?ll have a full test within the month.

Models available: SH-R300 and SH-M300 in sizes: 39-48 (wide fit E in sizes 42-46).

Another week, another new Diablo III Wallpaper. Once again we've got HolyKnight3000 to thank for the new eye candy, as he's turned out a dramatic take on the vision of Ureh seen in the Diablo 3 cinematic trailer. Blizzard has stated that Ureh will not be a setting we visit during Diablo 3, but we can always hope it turns up in one of the expansions.
Here's a quote from HK's caption, with the image below. Click through to view it in a much larger, wallpaper-friendly size.
Forgive me on the blurriness of this image. I had to choose to leave it jagged and rough or blur it some to look a little better and i chose the latter.
I used a screen capture of the image from Blizzard's Diablo III Concept Art Trailer Video that then showed during Blizzcon 2008 when they first revealed Diablo 3 to us.
I wanted to use a different image than the one from the cinematic trailer and that was the best candidate for it. I had to repair and do some paint work on the far right side of the image by the tombstone and the mountains because the image was too short. I'm please with how that turned out.
I also chose to not use any texture behind the map this time because when i looked at the wallpaper with the map faded almost to black but you could still see it. It helped make sure you were grasped upon the image of the ruins of ureh.

If you're an Australian citizen traveling outside the borders of the land down under, or if you're an Australian expat who now lives in another country (such as the United States), you may be finding it difficult to keep up with episodes of your favorite Australian TV series.
Popular television shows like River Cottage Australia, or sporting events like KFC Big Bash League Cricket, are not available for direct viewing outside of Australia, due to the fact that many Aussie television streaming providers block access from outside the country.
The Best Way to Watch Australian TV Online From Abroad
Australian television networks limit viewer access to their streaming services to those who actually reside in Australia. That means that if you're looking to view your favorite Aussie show, your device will need to have an Australian IP address.
You can get an Australian IP address by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which temporarily assigns a new IP address to your device. This IP address-"spoofing" ability can make it appear to the outside world that you're sitting in Sydney, when you're really in San Francisco.
In all of my years of using VPNs, I have found that the best all-around VPN is ExpressVPN, which I recommend to unblock access to your favorite Australian shows, no matter where you're currently stationed.
A 30-day money-back guarantee provides ample opportunity to run ExpressVPN through its paces.
In this article, I discuss why Australian TV networks block access to their content from international viewers, and what you can do about it.
About Australian Television
Australian television broadcasts to the general public didn't begin until 1956, and early content for the fledgling Australian networks consisted of shows from the U.S. and Great Britain.
Although the Australian television industry got off to a slow start compared to that of other nations, the industry's current state of health is grouse. (That's Australian for "awesome.")
While there are a limited number of available networks in the country, their series and movie offerings are comparable in quality to the content offered in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Most of Australia's television networks, which include SBS, ABC, Seven West, Nine (available through 9Now) and the Optus Sport channels, also offer their series episodes and movies via streaming, making it convenient for Aussie viewers to enjoy their favorite shows anywhere they might be – well, as long as they stay inside the borders of Oz.
However, there is a way to view Aussie shows from outside of Australia, as well shall see shortly.
Why Are International Users Banned From U.K. TV Streams?
Australian expats and Australian citizens traveling abroad may wonder why it is that they can't view episodes of their favorite Australian TV series.
Much like other online streaming providers, Australian television networks have agreements for the content they provide to viewers. These agreements commonly include a clause blocking the streaming of contracted television episodes or movies to viewers outside of a designated viewing area.
Such blockades are erected to protect the producers' revenue streams. If folks could stream Australian content internationally for free, there wouldn't be much incentive for non-Aussie networks and streaming services to pay for the rights to the content.
While such restrictions are common, it doesn't make them any less frustrating to television fans who are located outside the Australian viewing area. While some Aussie TV content is available via syndication, or on services like Hulu and Netflix, a great amount of it is not available outside of Australia.
How Is Content Geographically Blocked?
When a user's computer or other device connects to the internet, it's assigned an IP address.
This address acts as an identifier, allowing servers on the web to know who is requesting their content and where to send the requested information. The address acts much like a mailing address does for snail mail and packages.
In addition to letting other computers know where to send content, an IP address can also identify where you are located. Australian streaming providers can tell from your IP address whether or not you are located within their country. (You can see your location by visiting this website.)
If you show up as residing in another country, Australian television providers can then block you from accessing their content.
How Can I Watch Blocked Australian TV Overseas?
The easiest way to access Australia-only streaming content is to use an IP address located down under. Short of flying back, the easiest way to get an Australian IP address is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that offers servers located in that country.
When a user connects to a VPN server, their internet connection is assigned a new IP address, making it appear that they are located somewhere else, be it in the next state or on the other side of the world.
A VPN user looking to access Australian television content can connect to a VPN server located in Australia, which will assign them a new IP address, which indicates the user is located in Oz.
This IP address-"spoofing" will make Australian streaming providers believe the user is located in-country, and they will happily provide content for the user's viewing pleasure.
While a Virtual Private Network makes a great way to unlock blocked streaming content, it also offers a large number of other advantages to online users.
When you connect to a VPN provider, their service automatically encrypts your internet connection, adding a layer of protection that keeps your online activities, and any associated personal or business information, from prying eyes.
Which VPN Is Best for Streaming Australian TV While Abroad?
Many VPN providers can offer you access to blocked Australian television content.
However, I've found that one provider in particular does the best job of unlocking said content.
ExpressVPN is the best available way to unblock access to your favorite Australian television series, movies and sporting events. The service has VPN servers in four cities in Australia, providing reliable access to Australia-only content.
Today's streaming services offer content in 1080p high definition format, which requires fast and reliable connections. ExpressVPN provides connection speeds that can easily handle today's content streams.
ExpressVPN users need not worry that their online activities will be left open to scrutiny thanks to the provider's government-grade encryption and strict no-logs policy.
Here's my review of how well the provider works when it comes to streaming foreign content. For more information, check out my full review of the service.
1. Connection Speed
When it comes to internet connections, faster is always better. When considering a VPN provider, always look for one that provides top-notch connection speeds that can handle high definition video streams.
Most major streaming services offer their content in the 1080p HD format. Plus, quite a few of them either already offer or are preparing to offer their shows and films in 4K HDR.
Both video formats require reliable, speedy connections. Slow connections can lead to extended waits for content to buffer or mid-session pauses as you wait for your connection to catch up with the stream.
ExpressVPN's servers deliver speedy connections, which can easily keep up with even the most demanding content streams.
Keep in mind that your ISP connection speeds have a big effect on your connection's overall performance. However, ExpressVPN keeps fast connections fast.
2. Multi-Platform Support
No matter what connected device you own, you can likely use it to view video from the internet. This makes native app support an important factor to consider when researching VPN providers to unblock Aussie TV streams.
ExpressVPN provides native app support for the macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, Chromebook and Amazon Fire platforms. There are Chrome, Safari and Firefox browser extensions as well.
Smart TV, set-top box and gaming console users aren't left out, as they can make use of ExpressVPN's MediaStreamer DNS service to access Aussie TV. Keep in mind, however, that MediaStreamer does not provide the same encrypted connection protection as the company's full-blown VPN service does.
3. Customer Support
While ExpressVPN is one of the most reliable VPN providers available today, you may someday need a bit of assistance with the service. That's when the provider's comprehensive customer support will come in handy.
ExpressVPN delivers 24/7 support via its live support chat feature, trouble ticket tracking system, and easy-to-search troubleshooting guides and support library.
4. Global Server Coverage
At first blush, you may only be concerned about whether a VPN provider has servers located in Australia.
However, once you learn all the things a VPN can do for you when it comes to unblocking content, you'll also want to make use of the provider's servers in other countries.
Rest assured that ExpressVPN has servers located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, which provide plenty of content-barricade-busting power.
However, those servers are just a part of the 3,000 servers it has stationed in 94 countries around the globe.
5. Pricing
Admittedly, ExpressVPN is priced higher than many of its competitors. However, the value the provider brings to the table makes it an excellent value.
A 30-day money-back guarantee provides sufficient time to ensure ExpressVPN is the right VPN for you.
Whenever you can't be down under, there's no need to miss your favorite shows and sporting events. ExpressVPN can provide reliable access to Australian television services, no matter where you're located.
The provider delivers excellent connection speeds, world-wide content access, comprehensive security and privacy protections, and top-notch native app support. The provider's customer support department stands at the ready in the unlikely case something goes wrong.

If you are going to run an online store, you will need to take a variety of things into consideration. One of the most important parts of the puzzle is which platform to use to power your eCommerce site. Today we would like to examine three of the most popular and foolproof platforms: CS-Cart, Magento and Shopify. Each of these carts has a strong set of features, but this article will outline the following key points of these eCommerce platforms: hosting, speed, architecture, and support.
CS-Cart is self-hosted, which means you will have to search for a hosting provider on your own. You will definitely find a trustworthy and convenient company that provides multiple server locations, free CDN, and advanced caching options to make both your and your customers' experience with CS-Cart fast and enjoyable.
Shopify is a hosted solution that will take care of all server issues. This means that Shopify will sell you a license to use its eCommerce software and host your website on its servers. It will own the code, but you can upload your products, customize the look of the website, and add features as long as you don't modify the backend code.
Magento, like CS-Cart, is a self-hosted, open-source eCommerce solution. You will need to find a hosting company to house your website and a development company to set up the code and customize it to your needs.
CS-Cart is a PHP / MySQL platform using advanced AJAX technologies. It has a modular architecture based on hooks that allow users to change the function of the platform without interfering with the existing source code. Unlike Magento, CS-Cart uses Smarty templates.
Magento has a modular architecture that allows for easy expansion and renewal of the system. The platform is built on the Zend framework, based on PHP / MySQL and extensive use of AJAX technology.
Shopify is developed with Ruby on Rails web framework, backed by the reliability and speed of MySQL databases.
CS-Cart has one of the best offers in the industry if you find yourself in need of support. Each commercial license for its software includes free support credits. Technical support service includes: consultations on CS-Cart functionality, assistance in configuring your CS-Cart, resolution of issues occurring during software operation, and the performance of minor and technically simple modifications of CS-Cart that do not require complex actions. There are also community forums for CS-Cart users in which online store owners can communicate with each other, helping each other on questions of CS-Cart operation and anything related to eCommerce.
Magento has an Expert Technical Support Team that helps run the business, and an Expert Consulting Group (ECG) that helps Magento Enterprise Edition merchants and Solution Partners maximize their success. On its Support forums, you can find questions you are interested in, or ask some of your own. The activity in the Magento and CS-Cart forums indicates that you are more likely to get a useful and rapid response from CS-Cart forums than Magento. This is simply because Magento is more complicated, and developers often need more time to answer questions.
Shopify has 24/7 customer support. This includes phone support as well as chat and email, along with access to a sizeable support system through its website, including user forums, tutorials, and FAQ's.
Magento is not considered particularly fast in the market of eCommerce platforms. But it can be fast enough if you choose the right hosting. Among the most recommended hosts for Magento are Arvixe, GreenGeeks, and Hostgator. When choosing a host, you must understand that the Magento platform is complex, and cannot work quickly on inadequate servers.
CS-Cart is easier and faster than Magento, and can work well on simpler servers. Recommended CS-Cart hosts include This Site Ground, A2 Hosting, eUKhost, Martfox Internet Services, and various others.
Shopify is an all-in-one system, so sites that operate on it are rather fast.

The first week of your exchange is usually filled with excitement, expectations and everything new. If you have an introduction week like I did at Sussex University, you will meet people from all over the world, fill your head to the brim with informations about your new school, get confused about timetables, maps and the campus and just generally have incredibly much going on.
My introduction week at Sussex is the third time I am moving to a new country and start over again and after one or two "first" weeks somewhere you realize some things, that might be helpful for you guys:
1. You will be okay once you start traveling.
Before every trip, every move, every new start you will feel anything from excited to anxious. The last days at home before you fly out are usually extremely stressful and emotionally challenging. They are so many goodbyes during that time, so much left to do and not being able to sleep or having to cry, because of the littlest things is totally normal. However for me (and a lot of people I talked to) as soon as you start your journey and you are on your way to your new home the anxiety will get better, mainly because after months of thinking and talking about your trip, you finally start going on it and you will soon realize that while a move across Europe or even across continents is a challenge, that if you take it step by step you can absolutely do it.
2. It´s okay to take care of yourself first
At least in the first few weeks you are in this alone. So you need to start taking care of yourself as good as possible. If after a long journey you are tired and all you want to do is sleep, it is fine to skip one pub night (trust me there will be loads to come) and just relax. If you need alone time in between all those introduction talks and meetings that is fine. If you are too tired to cook, it is fine to just order a pizza If you do not feel comfortable with the people you first hang out with, it´s okay to talk to other people. Being a little selfish during the first weeks of your exchange is okay and necessary. Listen to your gut and learn to trust yourself.
3. It´s okay to just start talking to strangers
Worrying too much about not finding friends is unnecessary. In the first week everyone is more than happy to have someone to talk to so if you just start talking to a stranger sitting next to you in a lecture or someone who looks just as lost as you are they will probably be thankful. Invite people for a coffee and get to know them better.After introduction week try to get involved in sports or clubs at your exchange university to meet local people with the same interests as you. Generally just talk to as many people as possible and smile at everyone. Try not to only hang out people from your home country or your school, but make it your goal to at least chat with a new person every day.
4. It´s okay if your first week is also your most expensive one
In your first week you will probably spend more money than in any other week of your exchange. You will spend ridiculous amounts on airport food. You will totally mess up your budget for public transport because you have no idea about discounts. You will go to the most expensive supermarket by accident and the drinks at all these bar nights will slim your wallet more than any crash diet. It is fine. Start budgeting once you settled in, use the introduction meetings to ask for the cheapest options and don´t worry too much if you spend a little too much in the beginning.
In general be nice to yourself the first week. Starting new is never easy and it is extremely stressful emotionally. So be good to yourself and do not sweat the small stuff. Be merry, go out, have a good time and just enjoy the start of this new chapter of your life. Hope you have a great introduction week!

What Cicerone staff have been doing this year... 2018
Everyone who works at Cicerone is a bit of a fleece-wearing outdoor adventure junkie and we try to practice what we preach. Here's what we've all been up to in 2018.
Helicopter Rescue in the Hebrides
My walk from Sheffield to Santiago: 'There is no road, the road is made by walking'
Crossing Bhutan's Lunana plateau on the Snowman Trek
In October 2013, Heather McNeice and her friend Krista set off to trek 240km across the Lunana plateau in Bhutan, following the Snowman Trek route. After a wet and muddy start, they enjoyed sunshine, clear skies and stunning Himalayan views. They were blissfully unaware that Cyclone Phalin was bearing down on the east coast of India, causing havoc with the weather in the eastern Himalayas and adding some unexpected challenges to an already strenuous trek. Heather's book, Yak on Track, is the story of their journey and we share a taster here.
Help your fellow adventurers by leaving a review of your guidebook on our website. We'd love to know what you think, and any constructive criticism will go towards improving future editions of the book.

Congratulations to our friends Erin Tuttle and Heather Crossin of Hoosiers Against Common Core. Earlier this week Indiana became the first state to repeal the Common Core Standards.
On Monday Indiana Governor Mike Pence, signed legislation (subscription may be required) saying Indiana will no longer use Common Core math and English Standards. Indiana was one of the first states to adopt Common Core Standards in 2010.
Pence said "I believe our students are best served when decisions about education are made at the state and local level. By signing this legislation, Indiana has taken an important step forward in developing academic standards that are written by Hoosiers, for Hoosiers, and are uncommonly high, and I commend members of the General Assembly for their support.
Let's hope the final standards are uncommonly high. Writing new standards is a process with no guarantees and always a contentious process, even more so when the clock is running (an April 24th deadline looms) and the stakes are high. There is already concern that the new standards may incorporate too much of Common Core and may not reflect the consistency and rigor desired by those who fought to stop Common Core's implementation. Let's hope the Hoosiers get it right. A lot of states — including North Carolina — will be watching.

LONDON (Reuters) - Olympic boxing hopefuls from all over Europe are preparing to punch their tickets to Tokyo at a qualifying tournament starting in London this weekend, with an emphasis on clean hands and hygiene in a time of coronavirus.
The Road to Tokyo event features some 350 fighters from 50 countries including Italy, the European country worst hit by the outbreak and now in lockdown as it combats the spread of the disease.
Event director John Timms told Reuters on Thursday there had been no withdrawals from the March 14-24 tournament, other than some officials from the worst affected areas who had stayed at home.
"We've been blessed with some really sensible teams traveling here, who when this story started to break and unfold actually put plans in place to be in the UK a lot earlier," he said.
"Many teams have been here for over two or three weeks in preparation camps and have been here well beyond the quarantine periods. We're in good shape in that respect."
The ticketed event at the Copper Box will see 50 men and 27 women secure their places for the Tokyo Games.
It is being organized by an International Olympic Committee (IOC) taskforce following the suspension of international federation AIBA last June because of issues concerning governance and finance.
"(The Italians) have been over here for a significant period of time and that was good preparation on their part," said Timms.
"They knew there might be issues, they wanted to keep their boxers safe, they were all from outside the original quarantine area so they wanted to get them here so they could prepare properly.
"We are carrying out additional testing on athletes, that will be taking place all the way through the tournament," he added. "We are advising teams to do that as well."
The irony of handshakes being shunned, before the gloves come on, in a contact sport of sweat and blood is obvious but British boxers expressed no concerns at a pre-tournament media event.
"I know the Italian team have been over here for a few weeks so I'm more than confident that they are completely fine," women's middleweight world champion Lauren Price told Reuters.
"They have as much right to be here as us. They've worked hard and it's their dream as well to get to the Olympics."
"We've sat down with the medical team and gone through all the procedures; cleaning, washing your hands, not shaking hands with other countries. I'm more than confident and happy that everything's fine and put into place."
Men's middleweight Lewis Richardson, winner of the Tokyo test event last October, was equally relaxed.
"I don't really focus on it. We can only focus on the controllables. We're doing everything we can," he said. "We've just got to focus on training and working hard and putting ourselves in the best position to take the most of the opportunity."

For the past 25 years that is exactly what he has been doing – helping major developers and financial institutions in the greater Seattle area to achieve their sales goals.
Right out of college in 1992, Chaun went to work as a community sales manager for Polygon Homes where he got his feet wet working for Dave Harding. He progressed to Windermere Yarrow Bay as an independent account manager and community sales manager. From there, he became director of sales and marketing for McCaugherty Companies where he managed the entire development and sales process for over 400 units in five multi-family projects.
Chaun joined Mike Miller at Miller Condominium Marketing in 2002, and his energy and drive propelled him to the position of president. He is now a founding partner of Matrix Real Estate, and also serves as president of Matrix, overseeing the daily operations of the company.
With a natural knack for understanding the financial side of the business, Chaun has a keen awareness of developers' goals and strengths. He works diligently with developers and financial institutions to understand their strategic and financial goals and help them meet their goals with sales and marketing programs.

Chaun has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Finance from Washington State University. In his spare time, Chaun enjoys being in the mountains, snowmobiling with friends and traveling abroad.
Kim Martinez
Licensed Real Estate Broker, Community Sales Manager
I became a real estate broker in 2004. My career in real estate began as a way to work flexibly, and be available for my two young sons. My first 10 years in the business was focused on resale, helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals. I have gained a wide variety of experience from first time buyers to equestrian properties, investment homes to condominiums, and everything in between.
More recently, my focus has shifted to new construction sales, with RM Homes. Being a community sales manager is both challenging and rewarding, in this fast paced and ever changing market.
I pride myself on honesty, integrity, and strong communication. I enjoy working with people and building lasting relationships. I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading a good book, and hunting for antiques.

Mike Miller
Matrix Partner and Designated Broker
With a passion for real estate and a knack for surrounding himself with an exceptional team, Mike Miller is a consummate real estate professional. As a founding partner of Matrix Real Estate, he is continuing to fuel his drive for helping developers find the best marketing and sales team for their communities.
For the past 27 years, Mike Miller has dedicated his professional life to Seattle-area real estate. In 1995 he recognized the opportunity for a niche-specialization in condominium marketing when he joined Faye Torgerson at Coldwell Banker Bain Associates in Bellevue. Within five years, from his start as a community sales manager, he was promoted through the ranks to senior management at Torgerson and Associates and then in 2000 Mike purchased the company from Faye and formed Miller Condominium Marketing.
For the next fifteen years, Mike grew his company, renamed MCM Group, into one of the most well-respected and largest-volume condominium marketing firms in the greater Puget Sound area. Specializing in for-sale multi-family product, MCM Group's diverse portfolio ranged from Tacoma to Everett, including low-, medium- and high-rise condominiums, townhome communities, and both new construction and conversions.
Mike was instrumental in merging MCM Group to form Matrix Real Estate, which now has a diversified product focus including single family, townhome and resort communities throughout Washington State.
Mike has a warm presence and leadership style that naturally draw people to him, allowing him to form long-term partnerships and retain the best sales and management teams. One of his credos is "no ego" – with everyone working on the same team for the benefit of the developer and the community. He particularly enjoys working in a team environment, collaborating with the development and design team from early site and product development through project sell-out. His ability to oversee the big picture while managing the fine details ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
In addition to being our expert in-house sales manager, Mike has also taught CSP (Community Sales Professional) classes for the local Master Builders Association.
Mike has a Bachelor of Science degree from City University, and was named the William A. Bain Associates "Rookie of the Year" in 1990. Today he enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling and being where the sun shines.

Faye Torgerson
Licensed Real Estate Broker
The spring of 2010 marked the beginning of my 23rd year in residential real estate. I tried to retire in 2001 but quickly found out that you can take the girl out of real estate, but you can't take real estate out of the girl. I had an ongoing "crush" on Crescent Bar for over 10 years, spending a week or so every summer in the area.
So, when asked to join the sales and marketing team to represent and sell Sunserra at Crescent Bar in 2004, I was all over the opportunity. Little did I know I would "fall in love" with the community and purchase a home. I now live here April through November, have made many friends and continue to enjoy listing and selling other people's homes. My current focus is the resort community of Crescent Ridge Ranch in Crescent Bar.
My years of experience give me the knowledge and personal business associations to deal with almost anything. I treat my client's decision making as if it were my own. I love people and I love challenge. It is my daily pleasure to celebrate the Columbia River lifestyle and to introduce other individuals and families to the opportunity to enjoy a little slice of paradise. I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your real estate decisions. I can promise you one thing for sure – we will have fun and laugh along the way!!"

Vegan Lifestyle Community Event Background
The vegan lifestyle has been a trending topic most recently as people seek more "animal friendly" alternatives in buying products as well as food staples for their diet. As such, I was curious what living a vegan lifestyle would mean for me, as an individual who is used to eating red meat and cheese as part of my overall diet. There were both young (college aged) and middle aged women present, though no men showed up, that discussed the philosophy and found talking points that most people present would agree with.
Peak Experience
The peak experience for this community event was not clearly defined, as the event host also did not bother to show up. One would assume that the peak experience would be an increased knowledge on the topic of veganism for those who attended, though some might consider their peak experience to be coffee and interesting conversation.
