Winter is here and with it comes sudden changes in weather and changes in water conditions. Outdoor enthusiasts including fishermen need to pay attention to these changes. Storms can happen quickly so fishermen or fisherwomen need to keep in touch with the weather service. Enjoy yourself but remember alcohol alters your judgment. So use it sparingly while enjoying the outdoors. Keep an eye on the weather as conditions such as temperature, wind, fire and precipitation including snow can come on in fierce strength very fast. The strength and depth of ice can change very quickly please watch for any changes. This report is compiled on Monday and Tuesday and reflects conditions and results of fishing from the past week. If you wish other information feel free to contact most parties for current daily information. Good luck fishing from the Montana Outdoor Radio Crew.

Rock Creek Marina-Bill 1-406-485-2560
Linda reports, " We had a good weekend for fishing. The guys who came up to stay in the cabins had a good Saturday. They got 5 trout, 6 nice northern pike and 1 o2 lings. They were using minnows and smelt. I did not talk to them on Sunday. On Sunday it snowed late in the afternoon and it really blew. The temperature was 11 degrees. So there is 6 to 12 inches of snow on the ice of course with some drifts. Right now because of the drifting until we get it plowed again you can only reach us by coming on the North Rock Creek side As the wind blows that may change again but we finally got some plowing done. We would still recommend you call about the road. Use a 4 wheeler or snow mobile to get to the Marina."
Tongue River Reservoir Raymond /Spencer/ Greg\
Raymond said," We have had a lot of wind this week. We are cleaning up the roads today (Tuesday) of the drifts. The guys are catching some nice size crappies and but only a few perch. There have been a few northern pike caught I also heard. Some guys are driving on the ice. Roads are okay. We have 15 to 20 inches of ice. "
Some of the campgrounds have been shut down of electricity. Campers point north has electricity. That is the camp site closest to the marina. The cleaning station is closed. The water is turned off. There is no water at the dump site and in the campgrounds. The boat inspection site is closed.
Tongue River Marina 1-406-757-2225 Wade, Stephanie, Greg /Warden Jordan Staley
Wade reports," we are still open. We now have 20 inches of ice. We didn't get as much snow as other places did. A few big northern have been caught. We had less people this weekend. They are catching some perch but more crappies. The smaller minnow is still working better. "
The Marina is open Friday, Sat and Sunday. Our hours will be 6 am to noon each day. I am getting minnows right now. I will have worms. Mill worms, tackle, beer, pop and snacks. Check out Tongue River Marina on Facebook. This year there will be no vending machine for minnows.
Hell Creek Marina- Clint Thomas-Layne 1-406- 557-2345
Kayla says," we have had some fishermen this week. The walleye bite is better using minnows at 10 to 20 feet depths. . It seems to be more consistent. You can find the northern pike in the bay at 10 to 20 feet . They are getting some limits of pike. Clint was still out at midnight plowing. There were some 1 to 2 feet depths. There is 1 foot of snow on the ice. Clint is making paths on the ice for the guys to get out. Snow mobiles would be the best thing to use. We have several pressure ridges so check with us for details. There are two in the bay and two out on the main. "
The Marina is open 7 days a week, 7 am to 6 pm.
Lake Ridge Motel Eddie and Carrie Mindt 1-406-526-3597
Carrie says, " We got 13 inches of snow this wweekend. Some of it was powder and the winds blew it to the east. Few people were staying because of the weather.
Fishing has been slow. Eddie was heading toward the Pines to try catching some walleyes but I have not heard from him. You have to have a 4 wheeler and have chains right now on it. It is blowing at Bear Creek right now. I would say really look at the weather report and check conditions. Call to see how things are. Wind is a real factor. The ice depths are 22 to 25 inches. "
We do have minnows, hooks, floaters, full suckers, wax and meal worms and white and pink maggots here for the guys to use. Our hours are 7am-6 pm Monday through Sunday. "
Cooney Reservoir – Marina Matheson.
Marina reports," I have not seen anyone out fishing. We really have had snow and a lot of drifting. At this point the road to Fisherman's point is the only road open. Every other road is blown in. I have not heard or seen any pressure ridges. The snow is 1 foot deep. I will keep plowing if I don't get stuck in the drifts. I have closed Cottonwood and Overlook going north is also closed. "
I spoke to fisherman Dan who fished Cooney this weekend with his little boy. They fished Saturday and Sunday. Dan said," everyone we talked to had caught several perch with a couple of small rainbows mixed in. Most people were catching 50 or more perch in 3 to 4 hours. It was a very light bite and you had to let them take it all the way. Sometimes the same fish would nibble for over a minute before it took the bobber under. We had to change jigs a lot to find the right combo and it would change every hour or so. They would quit hitting so we would change jig color, presentation or we moved 20 feet and then they would hit again. It also helped to be ahead of the storm.
Lake Elmo FWP Bob Gibson
" There have been consistently 2 to 3 guys out there fishing. The ice conditions are still good. They are still catching perch. There is 10 inches of snow on the ice. Guys have been using everything from corn to cut worms and crawlers. There is 8 to 12 inches of ice . It is walk on only. ", Bob says.
Deadmans Tony Stefani
Tony said," We are personally drifted in from snow at our house. I can pretty much say we again had no fishermen at Deadman's this week. They have not plowed much yet so coming in to fish is questionable. So if you do come watch the weather closely. "
Deadmans/Martinsdale Cozy Corner Bar Lavina 406-636-22
Terry says," This week people are talking about snow not fishing because of the weather conditions. . You could not get out so they are staying close to home. Roads were really dangerous. Today (Tuesday) they have improved. "
Checkerboard Inn Checkerboard, MT Rick and Judy Geordge 406-572-3373
Judy says, "We did fish this past weekend on Bair. There were not many people out fishing. We got 3 fish and I got bites but lost the fish. We used worms and maggots. We only got one inch of snow unlike other places. You can get into Bair, just make sure to be prepared with chains because of patches of ice on the road. There Bair has 22 inches of ice. Where ever you go don't leave home without a shovel and chains. "
Don's Lewistown-Dale 1-800-879-8194
Dale says, " you can't get away from the wind and snow. There is just not places to go right now. About the only place you can get to fish is Achley. Some trout are being caught there. The wind is really howling again today. Just watch the weather."
Crooked Creek Marina Winnett, Montana James (Slim) and Abbie Craig 406-429-2999
Slim says, " We are still closed. With the snow and drifting it is impossible to get to Crooked Creek because of the snow. The Marina cannot be accessed so it IS closed right now. The road is not plowed. I do not advise trying to go in with a snow mobile either. There will be no services and no one will be there. Pay attention to facebook for any changes. "
Silos Canyon Ferry-Sharon
Sharon says," we did not get the snow that Billings and other areas got. The ice is 20 to 25 inches. There is some snow on the ice but drilling is just fine. I would say fishing is medium to good right now. People are getting 6 to 7 perch a piece and 3 to 4 walleye. The perch seems to be starting to move south. Some days there is some wind. There are still pressure ridges. Just go around but don't go over them. Check at the marina for details. "
The Marina is open. Hours are 7 am to 7 pm. We still are making and selling sandwiches at the Marina.
West Side Sports Jim Mayer 1-406-654-1611
Jim says," fishing is so so on Nelson. You absolutely need a track vehicle or snowmobile. Guys should watch out the snow snakes are out. We got another 8 inches more snow. There are a lot of wind drifts. You will need chains. Some guys were catching some nice walleye before the storm. . They were at night starting right at sundown using minnows. No word on Forchette but it was blown in already before the storm. You couldn't get in there. "
Stop by the store. We do have bait, minnows and crawlers here if you need them. Shop hours are 8 to 6 Monday to Saturday and closed on Sunday"
Billings-Scheels Jayce, Tanner, Dan, Matt
Matt said," the weather made it that not many people went out. Not much to report.
Big Horn- I talked to some guys who did well on the Big Horn. They were catching some trout.
There is just too much snow to get out. It should get better the end of this week. "
Rich's Tackle Richard 406-285-4540
Rich says, " we only got 3 inches of snow but the roads were so icy no one wanted to drive to get somewhere. The rivers have a lot of ice on it. I have not even heard how Canyon Ferry right now. Before the storm they were catching and someone said they did not get the snow other places got. So it could be decent for fishing. "
Stillwater Anglers-Chruis 406-322-4977 ,Bill
" We got 8 more inches of snow. We definitely got more ice. Looks like we may have some ice jams starting. If we get the little warming trend we are going to have to watch what happens. That could flush it out. The cold and freezing weather makes it tough to try fishing. There is lots of ice buildup in the Yellowstone and it makes it tough to access anywhere right now. Use the break to tie flies so you are ready for Spring. You can book your trips for later now ," Chris says.
Montana Adventures and Angling in Fort Smith Beau McFadyean 406-855-3612
Beau says, " Tie flies right now and stay warm. The cfs is supposed to go up. I don't know of anyone who has gone fishing on the Big Horn river. The water is clearer. Look at the Missouri it should be getting to be good fishing right now. Try it when it is sunny and warm. "
Big Horn Trout Shop Fort Smith 666-2375
Stephanie reports ," we have our first guided trip happening tomorrow. So the season is picking up. Word has it that fishing is fair but chilly. "
Hale says," Our water is clearer. Fishing is better at almost noon or early afternoon. The cfs is going up to 5000. The water is 38 degrees. Use the usual scuds and sow bugs right now. You can also try a few streamers. We have been seeing a few midges at 3 mile late morning or early afternoon when the wind is not blowing. Try the midge patterns at that time. They have plowed the Big Horn Access. Watch for ice on the ramp. "
Our winter hours are 8 am to noon all week.
Riverside Anglers in West Yellowstone : Alice Owsley, fishing guide and outfitter 406-640-1698
Alice reports, "When the conditions are right, nice calm days are allowing midges to hatch and the fish are eager to eat them. If no bugs happen on the surface, a flashy midge pattern below a larger stonefly nymph will bring some trout to hand. Streamers are also an option in the deeper water, fish olive patterns for the best results.
Remember to stay off the redds, if rainbows are staging to spawn, leave them alone. "

Yellowstone National Park is closed for the season until May.

Come February 14th and 28th 2015, the people of Osun State will join the rest of Nigerians to cast their votes for the candidates of their choice for the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly elections. Also on these dates, the Presidential and Governorship elections will hold respectively.
In Osun State, the elections will be unique because there will be no gubernatorial election. This is because election into the office of the Governor took place in August 2014 with the Action Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola re-elected for a second term. Thus, the battle shifts to the Osun State House of Assembly for election of Honourable Members, as well as the National Assembly for the election of Honourable Members of the Federal House of Representative and that of the distinguished Members of the Senate. We must note also that in Osun State, just like in all other States of the Federation, we now have two major political parties – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC) in addition to the other smaller political parties thereby making the elections more competitive.
Before we go to the parliamentary polls in Osun State, we need to ask ourselves the question: Do we want continuity of the harmonious relationship that has existed in the last four years between the State Executive arm of government and the State Legislature? Do we want continuity of the massive infrastructural development that is taking place in Osun State as a result of this harmonious relationship? If your answers to these questions are in the affirmative, then you must vote for all the candidates of the ruling All Progressive Congress in Osun State. Please note that Governor Rauf Aregbesola wouldn't have succeeded in his first term if he did not receive the support of the State House of Assembly members. Also, the wonderful support he got from the House of Representative members and Senators from Osun State cannot be underestimated. And mind you, this unflinching support is hinged on one major fact: the State House of Assembly members and those of the National Assembly are from the same Party (APC) with the Governor.
I am not saying that cordial relationship does not exist in States where the Governor and members of the State House of Assembly come from different Political parties but my experience in south west politics has shown that such party differences between the head of the Executive and the majority members of the Legislative arm gives room for frictions. The ugly incident playing out in Ekiti State since the election of Ayodele Fayose of the PDP as Governor is a pointer to what I am trying to explain. When an opposition party gains majority in a State House of Assembly, the threat of impeachment is usually high. It is either the Governor will be busy wooing some members of the House who are in the opposing party to decamp to the ruling party or the House members will be pre-occupied with how to frustrate the Governor through the threat of impeachment and non-passage of executive bills. And of course, the end result of this scenario is the collapse of governance. This is the least of what we expect in Osun State and that is why I plead with all Omoluabis to continue with the progressive politics that we have enjoyed in the last four years in Osun State. With the co-operation of the State House of Assembly, Governor Aregbesola has performed excellently given the limited resources that come to Osun State. We have witnessed massive infrastructural development, peaceful co-existence and security of lives and properties as well as over 20,000 jobs created for our Youths just to mention a few. We need more of these developmental strides in our beloved State of Osun and these can only be guaranteed if all hands are on deck to support the present government of Aregbesola by electing all APC candidates into the Osun State House of Assembly and also at the National Assembly.
-Yinka Olatunbosun, a former Aspirant for Ife East Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, wrote in from Ile-Ife.

News Post
Four exciting days in Belgrade – SASH company at the Catapult festival
Recently, we had a chance to spend four days with old and new members of the SASH company at the Catapult festival in Belgrade.
In Delta City shopping mall's hall, from 18th to 21st of May, we exhibited all of the SASH products and were ready to meet new people.
This is our first display in Belgrade.
With the Belgrade part of our community we always had a great online communication, but this was the first opportunity to greet them in person, and for them to actually see our products.
We admit that we were encouraged by conversations with other Catapult visitors, as well. They were delighted by the fact that we showed original illustrations in a different way and moved them to new places.
SASH heroes were received well, and we are pleased that all products got equal attention, because our goal is for everyone to find something for themselves or for their loved ones.
We sold as much pillows as we did bags or boys' and girls' T-shirts, and were always ready to help if a customer was wondering which bodysuit to buy for a newborn.
We very much enjoyed those sweet dilemmas about which SASH product to buy, and in telling our customers about how our idea originated and was realized, about the manufacturing process, and work quality, which, for us, always comes first.
Meeting new people at Delta City was a great experience, both when it comes to visitors and fellow exhibitors.
Experience exchange, business advice while talking about domestic brands and new contacts are extremely valuable, when it comes to both beginners in product placement or those with years of experience.
Because we want the SASH community to grow and our fairytale to continue, we will use every opportunity to exhibit out products, not only in Belgrade and Novi Sad, but in other Serbian towns, as well.
Pure chance and good experience will soon bring us back to Belgrade!
On 10th of June we will be at Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic Cultural Center, where Lilihypster Maxi market will take place.
Follow the news at our social networks' profiles and our website. Soon, we will tell you all about the new exhibition.
Your SASH team.

U.S. and China in trade dispute
Saturday, September 19, 2009
The United States (U.S.) and China this week initiated a trade dispute over tires, auto-parts, and poultry products just a week ahead of the 2009 G-20 trade summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The most recent trade policies enacted by the U.S. government includes a September 12 decision to impose a 35% trade tariff on Chinese tire imports as an anti-dumping measure. The trade policy came about as a result of a trade-complaint initiated by the United Steelworkers Union (USW) filed before the U.S. International Trade Commission. As reported by Steve Levine of BusinessWeek, "In [the USW's] trade complaint to the U.S. International Trade Commission, the USW invoked a provision in China's 2001 accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) that allows protection from surging imports from the country [China]. The union documented a tripling of Chinese tire imports from 2004 to 2008 […]" The Trade Commission initially recommended a 55% tariff however, President Obama agreed to only 35%. The trade tariff will be diminished by 5% per year for the next three years to 25%. The deadline for President Obama's decision was September 17. The trade tariff will take effect on September 26, pegging rates at the new level from the current 4%. The dispute will now move to the WTO where it can take up to 18 months for adjudication.
To quantify the impact of the tariff, in 2008 China supplied US$1.8 billion in tires to the U.S. or about one-third of the U.S. market, with two-thirds of U.S. companies producing their tires in China. It's likely that the effects of the suit will exceed $1 billion in trade costs, as reported by several other news agencies.
On the 14th of September, the Chinese government via its Ministry of Commerce website, announced that they would institute an investigation into the dumping of U.S. auto parts and chicken products; they are also filing a complaint at the WTO regarding this matter. A formal announcement of trade tariffs against U.S. goods has not occurred.
The two countries' executive and economic teams will meet in Pittsburgh for the G-20 meeting on September 24 and 25 to discuss these and other economic issues.

Could it get any hotter in here? Former Victoria's Secret Angel Heidi Klum made heads turn and grabbed eyeballs when she posted a boomerang video on her Instagram account. She posed in nothing but her bikini bottom and set pulse racing.
The 44-year-old sensual diva only gets better with age. Avid followers of the model will agree that age is clearly just a number for this bombshell. Proving that with her recent post, the gorgeous America's Got Talent judge decided to flaunt her curves on a sunny day.

Posing against a breath-taking background, the American-German supermodel stood under an outdoor shower in a black and white string bikini bottom. Covering her modesty with her hands, Klum let her hair fall down her naked shoulders. Using her luscious locks as her prop for the video, she is seen flipping her hair while the water poured down on her.
She flaunted her hot body in St Brath's during her vacation with her 30-year-old boyfriend Vito Schnabel. She captioned the video: "I ❤my new," while flaunting her line of intimate and swim wear collection.
Fans thronged to the comments section to compliment her hot body. "Ageless perfection!" wrote one while another praise her smoking hot derrière. "Its like she never ages... Amazing," said another fan who spoke for many.
"You @heidiklum, are the most charismatic, beautiful, intelligent, kind hearted, and, in my opinion, brilliantly funny woman on earth... Ich liebe dich," a fan commented.
The couple are on a holiday mode. Before this, the two were spotted soaking up the sun couple of weeks ago on a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea. The couple were clicked enjoying showering together during a heavy hot PDA session.
It is still hard to believe that the fit star is a mother of four. Klum and her boyfriend are enjoying their break away with her four children, Leni, 13, Henry, 13, Henry, 11, Johan, 10, and Lou, seven, Daily Mail notes.

Balancing growth and change
WHEN the concept of prefabricated pre-finished volumetric construction (PPVC) was first introduced in Singapore, there were concerned murmurs in some quarters that we were giving up aesthetics in the name of functionality. Yes, these naysayers said, PPVC does reduce our reliance on manpower, and yes they might be more accurate and use less resources, but by virtue of the fact that you are using a mould means that projects will all start looking the same. There will be no more individuality across projects was their concern.
But ask BBR Holdings (S) Ltd (BBR) executive director and chief executive officer Tan Kheng Hwee Andrew and he will tell you without batting an eye lid, that standardisation is precisely PPVC's strength. BBR is a big proponent of PPVC and has in fact invested in Moderna Homes in 2014 precisely to leverage their expertise in this area. Moderna Homes is today a fully owned subsidiary of the company. "If you talk to developers and architects, they like the standardisation because it brings the costs down. It is, if you think about it, the outer skin that makes developments different," he says.
Mr Tan would know. BBR is one of the early adopters of this technology. They are involved in the PPVC contract for the fabrication, supply, and installation of 1,582 hostel rooms at the Nanyang Technological University's Hall of Residence (Nanyang Avenue), and 712 hostel rooms at Nanyang Technological University's Hall of Residence (Nanyang Crescent).
BBR has recently secured 1,900 modular units of PPVC housing modules for the construction of six blocks of staff housing, four blocks of institution building and ancillary building at Upper Aljunied Road for the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Not that the company is only capable of delivering utility. BBR is in fact developing a mixed development project, The Wisteria and Wisteria Mall, a mixed residential and commercial development at Yishun Avenue 4, comprising three residential towers and two levels of retail space. This was the first plot to be rolled out under the Government Land Sales Programme which had a PPVC component to it. Under the terms of the tender, PPVC and prefabricated bathroom units are required to be adopted for at least 65 per cent of the constructed floor area and bathroom units.
Part of what makes BBR so unique is that it is part of a wider BBR Network. BBR is itself one of Singapore's leading construction and specialised engineering groups with more than 20 years of industry experience. It is in turn part of a wider BBR network spanning some 50 countries around the world.
"In Zurich, our network has a company that does glass reinforced fibre and so they can do wavy facades for buildings. We immediately saw a match between what they are doing and what we are doing with PPVC. We can do the internal structure and they can come in to do the skin to make every building unique. This is an example of how we can collaborate," says Mr Tan.
Another area the company is excited to pursue is green technology. BBR incorporated BBR Greentech in 2013 and is currently focused on solar technology.
BBR is currently involved in a HDB solar leasing project with Ang Mo Kio Town Council to design, install, operate and maintain a 6-megawatt peak grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) system and a floating solar photovoltaic testbed project at Tengah reservoir jointly led by the Economic Development Board and the Public Utilities Board. This testbed project allows companies to develop, test, and evaluate the economic and technical feasibility of installing floating solar PV systems on water as an alternative to deploying solar systems on rooftops.
Mr Tan candidly admits that the solar energy financial model has hit a number of road bumps recently as oil prices have fallen. But this is the right thing to do, he maintains. "We are still looking at how to build this market, maybe not just in Singapore but also regional countries like Indonesia and the Philippines," says Mr Tan.
"To make this work we will also have to work with funds because these are long-term projects which range from 25 to 30 years. We have to package our systems integration plans together with investors . . . so it will take some time and effort for us to get everything together."
Its green technology arm is still in its nascent phase, contributing only S$118,000 to FY2015's revenue figures but the firm is still excited about this trajectory. "Green technology could be a new way of cooling - air conditioners are our main energy guzzlers - or we could look at whether we can develop a system to help an owner reduce their overall energy bill and go into facility management down the road. "Solar energy is a first step."
In the last financial year, BBR Group netted revenue of S$425.5 million and net profit of S$2.3 million. General construction was the main revenue contributor followed closely by specialised engineering. Looking ahead, the 23-year-old company is not just looking to these sunrise industries for growth. Its specialisation remains in the area of specialist engineering and the company intends to leverage the BBR branding to enter new markets.
Part of his confidence in their ability to enter these markets as and when business opportunities arise stems from the BBR branding. "BBR's technology can be used everywhere. Most countries - if they do a lot of heavy engineering in terms of bridges for example - will need something like what we have. BBR is a name people recognise so it's very easy for us to open doors in new countries." Some of the markets Mr Tan is very keen on are Myanmar, Indonesia, and Vietnam. It is a matter of the right timing, finding the right partner, and getting the right funding, he says.
Indeed, for all of the woes faced by the construction industry, Mr Tan is excited for the future, especially the one afforded by the game-changing technologies of PPVC, building information modelling (BIM), virtual design construction (VDC) and cross laminated timber (CLT).
He says: "There's always this comment, that we are a very brick and mortar business, doing the same thing over a very long period of time and nothing has changed. With PPVC and CLT, we see that things have changed. We are going to do things in a more factory style, with less reliance on foreign workers and high safety standards. And there is BIM. Previously, you build on site, you rely on drawings, and if you make a mistake you have to redo it on site. There was a lot of wastage of money and resources. Now, you can build virtually and you can build offsite. It's really a new kind of built environment that we see."

Cass & Andrew married 20 years ago in Australia and last month, they took a family trip to Tahiti to renew vows in Moorea.
The two of them met at University. Cass was always shy, not one to talk much, but Andrew made an impression on her after that student trip to Sydney when he managed to get the florist's husband off his couch after the cut-off time for any delivery on a weekend to deliver a little soft teddy to her; she then knew he was special and couldn't wait to see him again!
Andrew, on the other hand, knew by the end of the day she was the girl he would marry, like he recognized her immediately even though they were not really even a couple.
Cass & Andrew wanted a private, casual ceremony that involves the kids, and were looking for a very memorable location and private dinner for the 5 of them after the ceremony, that the kids would enjoy as much as they would.
We were all set to go to the North-Western coast of Moorea for their vow renewal ceremony, and the dinner, so that they would have the best sunset.
On the day though, the weather was not too cooperative to say the least, with torrential rain pouring down around the island, and most especially on the Western coast. The ceremony was scheduled at 4:15pm and by 12pm the circle island road started to get flooded out… so we seriously considered the backup plan; that was, some place under cover.
We went on with getting the girls pampered. Cass & her lovely daughter Kyarna had both their hair braided, and super light and natural make-up done. Best of all, Cass wore her wedding dress, one that was sewed by her mother 20 years ago… mind you, no alterations needed!!
(personal photo)
Andrew and the two boys wore matching white shirts and linen brown shorts.
By the time they were ready, the sun had come out so we simply walked to a public stretch of beach that was running from their resort, and had the ceremony there. The colors around us were amazing, and I could barely believe that it was pouring so hard as I drove there just a few hours earlier.
We had postponed the private beach dinner to a few days later when the forecast was more promising so instead, we spent more time doing pictures and had our lovely family jump in the water and have fun! Even you did it Jackson!
You're a beautiful, loving family, it was so touching to see you 5 cuddle and hug. I wish you all the very best for the next 20 years and more!

Our digital environment is growing by the minute, and consequently, it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of all that's happening on our screens. Nowadays, it's not uncommon for workers to have around two dozen tabs open in their browsers, half a dozen Word or Excel files minimized,various apps and programs opened, and all the while they're chatting on Skype with ten other people. This multi-tasking is certainly taking its toll on our overall level of productivity, especially so with employees who aren't so adept at following all of the chaos that's running around on their screens. Yet, there are tools out there that can declutter all of that noise, and help you organize your digital environment in a meaningful and efficient way. Here's a list of some of these tools that will keep your productivity in check.
Workflow management tools
Today, apps such as Trello, Basecamp, and Redmine do most of the organizing for us, by keeping track of each task on a plethora of different projects. With these, managers and team leaders can easily keep tabs on everyone on their team and assign appropriate workloads to each of them. Likewise, there's nothing more satisfying than moving a task from the 'in progress' phase to 'done' with a single click, and then looking at the progress made on the entire project so far. Also, another thing that makes these tools such excellent productivity boosters is the fact that they're all cloud-based, which means you can store files and data connected to the project all in one place. Hence, you no longer need to waste time while looking for Joe to get that Word file he wrote or Susan and the image she designed, as everything is uploaded and stored online.
Communications software
With the arrival of the remote workforce, communication tools such as Skype and Slack have become essential in establishing contact with workers all around the globe. What's more, they've replaced those incredibly boring and time consuming white-board conference room meetings with real-time video conferences. This way, employees don't have to leave their work-stations during meetings anymore and as such won't get 'lost' in the cafeteria on their way back. Additionally, communication happens in real-time which is great for providing quick answers when someone is in need of assistance. Hence, employees can no longer idle about with the excuse that they're waiting for that long overdue email to arrive. Overall, this makes team communication faster and more efficient as there's no significant downtime in-between messages and the work keeps flowing.
Avoid distractions
With so many interesting things to do over the internet, it's easy to get distracted in today's digital environment. For this reason, we need tools that will help us stay focused on our tasks and thus boost our productivity. One such tool is Block Site which is useful for blocking sites primarily used for employee procrastination. Without funny cat pics, memes, and social media, workers have to focus on actually completing their tasks instead filling the time between breaks. However, distractions don't come just onscreen but off-screen as well. For this reason, acquiring headphones, silent keyboards, and glass panes for your workers will minimize distractions coming at them from all directions, and allow them to finish their assignments in peace and quiet.
Declutter your digital environment
Another major culprit in the decrease of office productivity is the overstuffed screen of your employees. Often, there's so much stuff going on that it's no wonder files and folders get so easily misplaced or lost. Precious time is then lost in finding these files which could be used for something more productive instead. To avoid these perils, use an app like Magnet which lets you organize your workspace into manageable tiles. This way, you don't need two monitors when you're reading stuff online and writing things into your notepad. Similarly, you can use ThunderBird to declutter emails arriving from multiple sources by sorting them into their respective folders. In addition, it provides you with various search tools, filters, tabbed emails, and multi-channel chat, so you can stay in touch with your colleagues while you search for that email Mark sent you yesterday.
Note taking
Grocery shopping isn't the only thing note taking is useful for. On the contrary, it can be used in the office as a valuable productivity boosting tool that's beneficial to the whole team. Just take a look at Evernote, the most popular note making software of today. It allows you to share digital information with your co-workers in the form of images, scanned documents, audio files, texts, and so on. Saving entire webpages is also a possibility with links, images, text and everything else attached. This enables workers to store online resources all in one place, for everyone to see and interact with. In addition, you can use it on smartphones as well, meaning you can easily find files you need while on-the-go.
All in all, you can use these tools separately or in any combination you like to achieve the productivity boost you need.

NEW YORK — Need a MetroCard? You'll save money if you buy it this week.
The cost of monthly and weekly MetroCards will rise on April 21 so that the MTA can "continue to provide safe and reliable service." Monthly MetroCard costs will increase from $121 to $127 weekly cards will rise from $32 to $33.
A swipe on a bus or at a subway turnstile will still cost $2.75, but bonuses have been eliminated. More information on MTA pricing in the city is available here.
Fare hikes were approved in a Feb. 27 vote. Driving will also be more expensive in many areas because of newly approved congestion pricing.
It isn't just rides on city subways and buses that are getting more expensive. Daily ticket buyers will also pay more for Long Island Rail Road tickets starting Sunday. More information on LIRR pricing is available here.
Many in New York will still be eligible for cheaper MetroCards through the Fair Fares program.

Joining VeloClub not only supports the work we do, there are some fantastic benefits:
by Anne-Marije Rook
March 28, 2017
Photography by Bond.bike
As a former world time trial champion – and qualified engineer – Emma Pooley knows what she wants in a bike.
So much so that Pooley, who's currently focused on her triathlon and duathlon career, designed her 2017 bikes from the ground up, determining everything from the reach to the headtube length and 650 wheelsize.
Bespoke bike company, Bond, jumped at the opportunity to meet her needs, outfitting her with a road and time trial bike fit for a world champion and proving that aluminium – and not carbon – is the way to go for custom bikes.
Thirty-four year old Pooley enjoyed a successful career as a professional cyclist before retiring and returning to her first love, triathlon. Her nine-year career saw her win a silver medal in the individual time trial at the Beijing Olympics, a UCI world champion title in that same discipline as well as several additional medals at the world, Commonwealth and national championships. During that time she established herself as one of the best hill climbers of the peloton and gained a lot of respect off the bike for being a well-spoken advocate for women's cycling. Enticed by the hilly courses for the Rio Olympics road race and time trial, Pooley briefly returned to cycling in 2016, but she continuous her du- and triathlon focus in 2017.
Pooley is the current Powerman Duathlon champion, having won the event three consecutive years. In 2017 she hopes to defend her title and needed the perfect bike to do it.
Pooley also happens to have a PhD in engineering and knew exactly what she was after.
Emma Pooley (GB) during the Rio Olympic road race
At 1.57m (5'2"), Pooley is a shorter rider who's had a hard time finding a bike that fits her while still handles well.
"The smallest frames from most manufacturers are at best borderline on fit, and they have normally compromised somewhere in terms of handling or geometry," Pooley explained.
"There are plenty of cyclists my size – I know, because a lot of them get in touch to ask about bike choice," said Pooley. "But it's remarkable how little consideration there is in the mass-market bike industry for people my size… I honestly think most small cyclists don't even realise how badly their bike fits (or, to put it another way, how much more comfortable they could be) because they've never known anything else."
As a professional athlete, however, Pooley was exposed to more options than most.
"I'm lucky because when I was racing on the Cervélo Test Team we had a brilliant mechanic, who adapted gear levers and stems and handlebars to get everything to fit me as well as possible, and also that I was, eponymously, riding a Cervélo. By far the best bike I raced on (in terms of fit) was the Cervélo P3 with 650c wheels. Sadly, Cervélo has now changed their smallest TT bike geometry and discontinued the 650c frames – a disappointment to discerning smaller cyclists."
What Pooley needed was a shorter reach and small wheels.

A look of concentration in the battle of engineer vs handlebar plugs. #unqualified #bondbike #astutowheels #3tcycling #rotorbike #norwegiangeotechnicalinstitute #onsafeground
A post shared by Emma Pooley (@pooleyemma) on Mar 20, 2017 at 1:42am PDT
"700c wheels are simply too big for small riders," Pooley stated. "You only have to look at pictures of me racing over the last few years – I look silly, at least partly because the bike looks ridiculously over-sized!"
Speaking like an engineer, Pooley went on to explain:
"Analytically, a rider has three contact points with the bike: pedals, saddle and handlebars. These three points are related to the wheels by the stem length, headtube angle, bottom bracket placement and seat tube angle, which all affect how the bike handles," she said. "You can think of the mechanics of it as, essentially, a triangle perched over two circles. A small cyclist means a smaller triangle, but the circles stay the same size. The circles can move a bit closer together but the shorter the wheelbase, the greater the cross-over between front wheel and foot, which can be dangerous. Thus, for the triangle to fit onto the circles, there are limits on headtube angle, seat tube angle, and stem length – where taller cyclists simply have more range."
With that said. It certainly is possible to build a frame with 700c wheels to fit a smaller person, but it requires quite a few adjustments from a traditional road bike geometry, something Pooley and Bond set out to do.
Pooley on her way to winning the 2010 UCI ITT World Championships on 650c wheels
Intrigued by the challenge to provide Pooley with the first bike to truly fit her, Bond jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the proven champion in 2017.
Launched at the end of 2016, Bond is a bespoke bike manufacturer that places the customer in the driver seat, letting them determine the ins-and-outs of the frame geometry to meet their specific requirements.
"Emma, having a degree in engineering and being such an accomplished professional knows exactly what she wants. On top of that, she's just a very nice, honest and conscientious person, so yeah, she'a an absolute pleasure to work with," said Lee Rodgers, owner of Bond. "We hope she'll really be turning heads when she wins a TT or duathlon on a bike with more traditional tubing – and aluminium at that!"
Bond works exclusively with aluminium, a material which according to Rodgers "has been overlooked for almost two decades."
"Aluminum allows us fully customise the geometry without having to create endless new moulds, as would be required with carbon," explained Rodgers. "Steel, lovely though it is to ride, has certain disadvantages in terms of weight and stiffness."
"With aluminium we knew we could produce customized frames that would still be highly competitive in terms of weight and in return of the power that goes into the pedals," Rodgers continued. "The innovations in aluminium over the past few years meant that we could make a ride that would be much more comfortable than the aluminium bikes of old, a ride that could even rival that of the top carbon bikes. We were able when engineering the frame to minimise the tube size differential at the junctions of the frame, which means these joints are stronger than aluminium frames of old, and in turn results in a nimble yet stable feel to the steering."
"This bike is without doubt the best I've ever ridden. I'd like to think my clever choice of geometry is helping a little, but mainly it's light, stiff, and when I put my foot down it goes," said Pooley. "When setting about defining the frame geometry for my Bond road and TT bikes, I knew what I wanted but I wasn't sure if it was possible. I'm hugely grateful to both the Bond engineer for his help, and a former colleague from a previous pro cycling team, whose expert advice was invaluable in coming to the final specification."
On the TT bike:
Note: Pooley's custom frames have not(yet) been wind tunnel tested.
"In any case the drag of the frame alone is pretty meaningless for real life situations, since it's the aerodynamic properties of rider and bike and wheels together that affect one's drag. And though the Bond frames won't have aero tubing, this has far less of an effect on drag than body and head position," said Pooley. "With the frame geometries I've specified, I will be able to reach a lower position than on any off-the-peg bike I've ever ridden previously, so I'll be more aero than previously."
Note that while her triathlon/TT bike features 650c wheels but her road bike does not.
"Because I plan to still do the occasional road race, 650c would be a risky choice for the road bike because it's near impossible to get a spare wheel in a hurry mid-race (as hardly anyone uses them, neutral service do not carry them)," Pooley explained.
Pooley will be putting her Bond bike to the test at the Rheintal Duathlon on April 30th, a test event before the European long-distance duathlon championships on May 21st.
Our tech writer Matt Wikstromis currently testing a Bond bike. Check back soon to see what he made of this new take on aluminium bikes.

Enter your zip code to search used 911 listings in your area.$71,951 - $147,756
The 2016 Porsche 911 has an authoritative engine lineup, exceptional handling, and an elegant cabin. Despite these positives, it ranks toward the back of the luxury sports car class, largely because of its high total cost of ownership.
The 2016 Porsche 911's #9 ranking is based on its score within the 2016 Luxury Sports Cars category. Currently the Porsche 911 has a score of 7.5 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 37 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Yes, the 2016 Porsche 911 is a fine option among luxury sports cars. The 911 has incredibly balanced handling, a lineup of powerful six-cylinder engines, and a stylish yet comfortable interior. For pure driving performance, the 911 is about as good as it gets. That said, it's one of the priciest used cars to buy and maintain in its class. If you're looking for thrills on a tighter budget, consider the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette or Porsche's own 2017 Cayman.
Our Porsche 911 review includes far more than just one person's opinion. We collected professional evaluations from more than 37 sources and combined them with concrete data like fuel economy estimates, safety features, and performance specs to help you make an informed buying decision.
At U.S. News & World Report, we rank the Best Jobs, Best Hospitals, and Best Colleges to guide readers through some of life's most complicated decisions. We've been ranking and reviewing the Best Cars since 2007, backed by a team with more than 75 years of combined automotive experience. To keep favoritism out of the picture, we maintain a separate advertising team and decline expensive gifts and trips from car companies.
Our site has about 270 listings for the 2016 Porsche 911, with an average price of $138,100. With more than 20 configurations available, prices vary widely from $80,000 to $260,000. Vehicle condition, mileage, and regional demand also affect a used car's price tag.
The 911's five-year costs for gas, insurance, repairs, and maintenance are projected to be about $55,700, or $11,140 per year. That's higher than average for a luxury sports car.
A new 911 boasts a handful of appealing enhancements that were not available in the 2016 model. Some of the major changes include a revamped engine lineup, rear-wheel steering for all-wheel-drive models, more available active safety features, and the addition of Apple CarPlay with uplevel infotainment systems. These make the new 911 a better vehicle than the 2016 model. The good news is that you don't have to fork more than $90,000 – the starting price of a 2018 Porsche 911 – to get these new goodies. Porsche first introduced them for the 2017 model year, so you can likely find a used 2017 911 and save some money over the 2018 model.
Read about the new Porsche 911 »
With prices for a 2016 Porsche 911 averaging close to $140,000, you can pick from almost a dozen other new vehicles in our luxury sports car rankings and spend less money on them. Similar cars worth considering include the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT that starts at $112,400. This two-seater is exceptionally refined inside and out, and its compelling selection of engines includes a 577-horsepower twin-turbo V8. Opting for a Porsche Cayman, which starts at $56,900, is a more affordable way to keep the Porsche badge while still getting fantastic handling and thrilling acceleration.

The seventh generation of the 911 debuted for the 2012 model year, and it includes the 2016 Porsche 911. The most notable changes throughout this generation relate to the trim levels, as Porsche rolls out new offerings each year. Kicking things off for 2012 were the Carrera and Carrera S. A redesigned Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S joined the lineup for the following year. For 2014, new additions included the Porsche 911 GT3, Turbo, Turbo S, and Targa. The GTS was introduced for 2015. The 2016 model year welcomed the Targa GTS and GT3 RS trims to the lineup. If you are not set on buying the newest additions for 2016, you can likely save some money by shopping for an earlier model within the same generation.
Compare the 2014, 2015, and 2016 911 »
The 911 has a dizzying array of configurations. Porsche offers the 911 in three body styles: coupe, Cabriolet (a convertible with a power-folding soft top), and Targa (which feature a smaller, power-retractable fabric roof). Trim levels converge in four key groups: Carrera (the least expensive), Targa (also the body style), Turbo, and GT3. Mechanical components are often dependent on the trim level, with the Turbo models getting the highest amount of horsepower, and GT3 models being set up for the race track. Model names with a "4" have all-wheel drive, and model names followed by an "S" or "GTS" have an upgraded engine.
Adding to the complexity of buying a used 911 is the deluge of options offered by Porsche. The Sport Chrono Package, for example, enhances performance by adjusting the engine, transmission, and chassis. In addition to standard features such as automatic climate control, navigation, and a touch-screen display, there are upgrades that include heated and ventilated front seats, automatic pre-collision braking, and a Burmester sound system. Even if your budget is confined to five figures, the base Carrera models are still a fabulous choice.
See 2016 Porsche 911 trims and specs »
Porsche offers a certified pre-owned program for vehicles 13 years old or less and with fewer than 124,000 miles. Eligibility is determined by the vehicle's initial sale date. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Porsche extends the original new-car warranty to six years or 100,000 miles. If the CPO vehicle is past its original new-car warranty term (four-years/50,000-miles), Porsche will cover the CPO vehicle for two years with unlimited mileage. Each CPO Porsche must pass a 111-point inspection. Additional benefits like towing and roadside assistance may be available, so read the Porsche warranty page carefully.
Porsche's CPO program is below average for a luxury carmaker, according to our research. Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar all have better programs.
No crash test analysis has been performed on the 2016 Porsche 911. This is common for a high-end vehicle.
There are no standard active safety features in the 911, but it's available with automatic pre-collision braking, a rearview camera, and front and rear parking sensors.
On average, you'll spend less on a 2016 Porsche Cayman than on a 911, but you'll still get strong performance with the Cayman. It's also the better car for road trips because the Cayman's two trunks together have significantly more cargo capacity than what the 911 offers. Both are good picks, though the 911 is the optimal choice if you want – and can afford – top performance. For example, the 911's base six-cylinder engine offers 75 more horsepower than the Cayman's.
If you're looking for meaty power, you may want to consider a 2016 Nissan GT-R. It comes with a mighty 545-horsepower six-cylinder engine, which is one of the strongest base engines in the class. It also has a slick, smooth six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that helps make the most of the engine's power, and it has excellent road grip around corners. However, the GT-R lacks the 911's refinement in both cabin luxury and ride quality. This makes it a less appealing choice for a daily driver than the 911.
If you want high performance and luxury – and don't mind paying handsomely for it – you may prefer the Audi R8 to the 911. The Audi R8 went on a production hiatus for the 2016 model year in anticipation of its 2017 redesign. Consider the 2015 Audi R8, which has a potent 430-horsepower V8 base engine that delivers break-neck acceleration. The R8 also has standard all-wheel drive that aids in its exceptional handling. Its ceramic brakes provide plenty of stopping power, and it has a comfortable, luxurious interior. However, the R8's infotainment system can be hard to use.
Compare the 911, Cayman, and GT-R »
The 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera comes with a 350-horsepower 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine that is quite strong. You're in luck if you're looking for even more power, as Porsche offers a buffet of flat-six engines with this sports car. The true powerhouse of the lineup is the Porsche 911 Turbo S, which comes with a potent twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine. It's rated at 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard in the 911, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel drive are available.
Few sports cars can match the 911's handling prowess. It offers razor-sharp, responsive steering and powerful brakes. In addition to its athleticism, the 911 is comfortable as well, with a smooth ride that helps you relax on your daily commute.
The base 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera model gets up to 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, which are on par with other sports cars' estimates.

After a successful career as a top model in Europe, Karin Conelly knows a thing or two about style. As Anna Washington discovers, she's now applying her unique flair to apartment interiors, making the most of what you've got.
When Katrin Conelly walks into someone's home, she paces around, sits on the couch, stands up again to view everything from a different angle, checks out the chairs, inspects the tables and runs a hand across the surfaces …
Finally, she pauses for a moment. She needs to get acquainted with the space, to pick up a feel for it, to let it talk to her. Then, suddenly, the ideas start flowing.
"I just love creating amazing spaces out of challenging homes, particularly apartments, and making spaces work for daily living," she says. "Nobody wants to live in a showroom, and too many apartments are being left blank, with very little personality at all. A home should be a home; it needs to be cosy and practical yet still have lots of character.
"Walls, for example, can be partially decorated with items you've picked up during your travels so you're reminded of happy times whenever you see them. Or maybe it's unexpected pieces you've found at an antique auction. And there are no rules. It's fine to combine old and new, contemporary and antique, anything – just as long as it 'speaks' to you."
For Katrin, it's this kind of passion that's fast seeing her recognised as one of Australia's top apartment and house stylists. She doesn't believe in encouraging people to buy in expensive pieces of furniture or the very latest in fashion accessories. She prefers to encourage people to de-clutter instead, then indulge their own tastes, preferences and sense of fun.
"I just like to do magic with what people already have, although often they don't realise the kind of treasures they need to properly showcase," she says. "Owners often don't recognise their homes after I've finished with them.
"But it makes me feel even more strongly that people should sort out their homes much more often, and certainly not just when they want to sell them!"
German-born Katrin, 48, started her business Home Dress Up, based in Sydney, just three years ago, after degrees in garment engineering and tailoring, and careers as a model and in fashion with some of Europe's top designers.
After meeting her Australian husband while working in Vietnam – and getting engaged to him after just nine weeks – she settled here in 1994. Now she's found her keen eye for style, experience in problem-solving and flair for real estate is paying huge dividends in her new career.
Common mistakes people make with their homes, she believes, include allowing too much clutter to accumulate and feeling obliged to put every family photo and gift on display. Everything then jostles for space and attention, and nothing looks good.
"Fewer pieces in the right spot are far better than too many everywhere," she says. "Less is definitely more. Sell the pieces you don't need, or store them until you can bear the thought of getting rid of them permanently."
Old furniture can often be repurposed by painting with limewash to bring out even more character, while flowers always brighten up rooms, and every bedroom can be transformed by good quality linen. Be wary of too many clashing colours as well, or lots of different hues of wood. A coat of limewash on floorboards make apartments lighter and shows off other timbers.
"Precious items can often be moved from the lounge to the bedroom or into the kitchen to create completely different effects," Katrin says. "People should sort out their homes much more often. It's always such a fantastic moment when you can make a client so unexpectedly happy in their own home."

In his latest court application, Macheso is seeking the downward variation of the maintenance fees for his two children sired with his ex-wife Fortunate Mapako.
In the court application dated 31st October 2014 and filed by his lawyer Norman Mugiya in the Harare magistrates court, Macheso says he can no longer afford paying the US$750 he has been paying since the 31st of May this year for his two minor children.
Among the reasons given to the court, Macheso says his financial position has deteriorated due to the unfavourable economic climate affecting the general populace, and that he also has four other children and an extended family under his care. Macheso claims the music industry has also been affected to the extent that his band is no longer having many musical shows while the few shows he holds have poor attendances.
He adds that international music shows which used to provide substantial amounts of revenue for the upkeep of the band and his extended family are no longer as lucrative.
|Alick Macheso's empire crumbles
He alleges that he has also learnt that his ex-wife Fortunate Mapako, popularly known as Tafadzwa, is realising US$1200 per month and living a lavish lifestyle, hence she should also take part in the upkeep of their children.
Meanwhile, Macheso's eldest daughter Sharon has filed for divorce against her husband of two months, Kudakwashe Munetsi, citing irreconcilable differences.
In summons served to Munetsi, Sharon says since their marriage on the 6th of August 2014, their relationship has irretrievably broken down and there are no prospects for the restoration of a normal marriage.
She accuses Munetsi of repeatedly assaulting her, committing adultery and not consummating the relationship leading to her losing all love for Munetsi.
She claims to be pregnant with Munesti's child and the child may be born into a dysfunctional family, hence she begs the court to make Munetsi to pay US$400 maintenance fees until her death or until she remarries.
She also contends that they have not yet jointly acquired property and begs the court to allow each party to retain it's own personal property while bearing own costs of the suit.

SealView technology captures the development of wear on every single seal strip and can be used with conventional and Voith HydroSeal seal strip designs. Its functional principle is based on a non-electric solution, which ensures maximum reliability in the adverse suction roll environment.
Digital wear detection for seal strips
Seal strips in suction rolls delimit the individual vacuum zones and are subjected to constant wear as they are pressed against the rotating suction roll shell. At the moment, it is not possible to determine the current state of wear after its final assembly or while the roll is in operation. The right time for a roll change has therefore generally been determined based on empirical values. When operating parameters change, for example due to a failure of individual lubrication nozzles, an unexpected vacuum failure might occur which negatively influences the planned runtime of the roll.
With SealView, this risk is now a thing of the past. The new technology can be built into the suction roll – independently of roll design and brand – during a roll service at one of Voith's service centers. After changing the rolls, Voith personnel will do the initial commissioning and training at the paper machine.
No unscheduled machine downtimes and sufficient time to plan replacement part procurement
The system alerts the operator when the seal strip has reached half of its service life. When it gets to a safety margin before the maximum wear level, an alarm is triggered. Via a visual representation on a monitor, the system informs the operator about the actual wear condition and the probable remaining service life of the seal strip, alerting the operator in good time to the necessity for a roll change. Moreover, the associated notifications are sent by email and are therefore available to personnel on their smartphones.
After receiving this information, the operator has sufficient time to systematically plan the disassembly of the roll and coordinate further action for a roll service and the procurement of replacement parts with the Voith service department. "A further advantage of the new SealView technology is that it is no longer necessary to keep an expensive set of seal strips inventory in the warehouse for emergencies. This helps customers to reduce working capital, a topic which plays a more and more important role in our industry," explains Jochen Honold, Global Product Manager Mechanical Roll Service, Voith Paper.
Longer suction roll service life and maximum reliability
The system reveals its full potential, particularly in the case of runtime extensions over and beyond the usual lifetime. Because the seal strip wear is displayed, the operator can rely on the system over extended periods of use without worrying about an unscheduled downtime.
Voith has decades of experience in the maintenance of rolls in general and suction rolls in particular. Based on the information currently available, particularly important components need to actively communicate with the operating and maintenance system to achieve maximum reliability. Through its SealView technology, Voith has reached another milestone in implementing this approach in respect to Industry 4.0.

The dual purpose entertainment area / carport with lock up room / driveway, forms the street level entry to this surprisingly spacious and fully air-conditioned home.
Wide, welcoming tiled entrance leads down a few steps into open plan living space with beautifully polished timber floors and extends outside onto the covered timber verandah with north facing mountain views. A separate "sunroom" on this level, also benefits from the views.
Back up at entrance level is an office/study with built in desk & wall cabinet as well as a separate toilet. The modern, galley style kitchen is well equipped with electric wall oven & hotplate as well as a 2drawer dishwasher. The TV is a special bonus and the cosy breaky bar has views.
The home can be accessed via 4 separate entrances - main, covered walkway, laundry, verandah steps.
An inspection is a must to truly appreciate the potential and value of this property.
Give Sharon a call to arrange an inspection.

Hello all! I hope you had an amazing New Years!
I know it's been since October since I've lasted spoke to you. To graduating college, traveling, working 2 jobs, quitting a job that was very unhealthy, working crazy retail hours, and also dealing with this thing called life. To be very honest with you all… I gave up. I gave up on myself. It wasn't like ohhh I'm not getting any attention or anything of that nature. It was more on, I wasn't consistent with my work neither myself. I needed to really dig deep into what I really wanted to pursue, finding myself, educating my mind more, expanding my thoughts and views on different cultures, REBRANDING, and etc.
So, if you're new to my blog…
I welcome you with open arms. I'm here to say we all go through those stages in life where we shut down completely and just wonder why things happen the way they do.
I try not to worry so much on the future. Live in the now. I'm in this space where I feel more comfortable being more open with fresh blog posts. I look back at my older blog posts and think of ways areas I need to improve in, how can I improve, and the proper steps to take in order to find my niche. The important thing I'm about to say… It's very cliché. However, it clicks into your mind.
Be Yourself.
There's absolutely nothing is wrong with being yourself and being weird. The most important thing is that you were being yourself and nobody can EVER take that away from you.
We as creative individuals, we get so wrapped up into this box where creative blocks come and we overwhelmed ourselves by comparing our journey to others and seeing the lifestyle they live and hopelessly wish you were in their shoes. Stop.
Live your life. Create your life. Step out the box.
My mom gave me this book when I was going through this depression stage and it's called "Acts of Faith" by Iyanla Vanzant
It's a self-meditation book where it focuses on the people of color on yearly day-to-day basics where it covers mental, physical, and spiritual messages.
My favorite quote from this book is
"You live by grace, built by love."
The reason I admire this quote so much is because it contradicts everything I previously stated. You are the resource. You're the only one that's in control with your life. You only have one life to live. I know we get into this sunken place where we feel confused, stuck, and misunderstood. However, if we continue to push (but not too hard) ourselves and be great. You know? Surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you and your dreams and vice versa.
The purpose of this post was to get my message out. I want to be heard. I want to speak out for those who have a hard time speaking up for themselves. I want to be that shoulder to lean on, and vice versa.
In the end of all of this, you are all you got.
Please take care of yourself.
See you next time.


text: There was a distinct absence of dogs, mad or otherwise, when a group of us met at Lac des Bruyères for a walk. It was 10.30 am and already hot, hot, hot! Because of this, there was a choice of a 2 or 5 km route. The majority did, however, opt for the longer walk. So, sunscreen applied, water supplies to hand and sun hats on heads, we set off. Our route took us along country tracks and included wooded areas where some dappled shade gave welcome respite from the sun. Towards the end, we walked by a small lake, before coming to the large lake on the home stretch. We finished at the rest area where we partook of our well earned picnic. Once retrieved, out came a goodly array of light refreshments! Another good walk, well planned by Louise & David.

Channel Five women say "I do" in record numbers
You might have noticed that over the last five months, there have been a few name changes here at Channel Five and tonight we thought we'd explain why. At four-thirty last Friday afternoon, after three years of courtship, our very own Jacqueline Woods officially became Mrs. Murray Anthony Godwin following a brief ceremony at the Belize City Registry. Jackie's husband, better known as Tony, is a retired Major in the U.S. Army.
Moving right along, it's been three months of wedded bliss for News Five's Karla Heusner as on January fourteenth she exchanged rings with Trevor Christopher Vernon under the coconut trees of Saint George's Caye. Karla and Trevor are parents to two girls, Julia and Emily Rose.
And rounding out our bridal party are two Channel Five employees: personnel manager Mary Rhaburn and Chief Master Control Operator Chris Mangar tied their knot on New Year's Eve following a mass at Central Assembly of God on Freetown Road.
We wish all the couples a long and happy life together.
