Melbourne's Zagame Corporation is moving to sell Vanuatu's Grand Hotel & Casino at Port Vila to capitalise on surging buyer interest in leisure oriented accommodation assets.
The 74-room waterfront property is the premier hotel and casino venue in Vanuatu.
Situated 10km from the airport at the heart of Port Vila's business and entertainment precinct, the eight-level waterfront hotel offers a variety of income streams from its casino, accommodation and food & beverage facilities.
CBRE Hotels' Rob Cross and Andrew Jackson will steer the Expressions of Interest campaign, which closes 30 May 2017.
Mr. Cross said long time owners Zagame Corporation were selling the hotel and casino complex to focus on their extensive pub and accommodation interests in Australia.
"We're expecting considerable interest, predominantly from Australian and New Zealand investors," Mr. Cross said.
"The campaign provides an opportunity to acquire the best hotel and casino in Vanuatu, which is currently owner operated but is being offered with vacant possession. While the hotel and casino has enjoyed trading growth in recent years, the introduction of a professional management company with a strong brand reputation could lead to further trading upside."
Constructed in 2003, the four-star hotel overlooks Port Vila Harbour and offers views towards Iririki Island.
The casino, regarded as the best in Vanuatu, features 15 gaming tables and 136 slot machine, with a VIP top floor gaming room.
The hotel also features a restaurant, conference rooms, four bars and pool and spa facilities.
CBRE's Mr. Jackson said investors were increasingly targeting leisure-oriented investment opportunities given the tightly held nature of Australia's CBD hotel markets.
This had been highlighted by a series of Cairns hotel transactions in 2016 - specifically the Rydges Tradewinds, Novotel Oasis and Rydges Esplanade - for a combined total of $122 million.
"In the case of the Grand Hotel & Casino, the property is poised to benefit from the Vanuatu Tourism and Infrastructure Project, which is funded by the New Zealand Aid Program," Mr. Jackson noted.
"The project will concentrate on the rehabilitation of Port Vila's seafront and the main wharf areas, providing a central pier observation platform, sea steps, a water taxi jetty, seawall promenade and walkways, markets buildings and playgrounds."

VW offer three different system from £450 to £525 but they are all tow ball mounted and Thule don't do one for the 5T yet.
I'm hoping to the family out and about this Bank Holiday on bikes. I have 2 roof-mounted bike carriers for the grown ups, but I'm trying to find a rear mounted bike rack.
Halfords have a couple available if you search by the current model, but I cannot find anything official from Thule or anywhere else about compatible bike racks for the new Touran. I am wondering if the 'spoiler' above the rear window makes a rear-mounted bike rack off limits? Don't really want to get a tow bar and I don't really want to get more roof mounts (2 bikes plus roof box will be going up there).
Has anyone found a rear-mounted bike rack that works well with the current Touran, and which doesn't break anything?!
VW offer three different system from £450 to £525 but they are all tow ball mounted and Thule don't do one for the 5T yet.

Hey Mickey. Your absolutely right. I found out only after damaging my car the top of the boot door is actually a spoiler. Mine is now bulged out after using the rack strap on it. Mind you did still hold the carrier quite well despite 200 miles return on the motorway.
Wish even more mine had a towbar on now, as towbar racks seem to be the best option.
@MoOzi, When I bought my Touran I had a towbar fitted as mine didn't have the factory-fit one either - I saw this as a plus; it means you're transmission in particular may not have had such a hard life.
It was £620 to supply and fit (complete with electrics, which is an involved job on such a modern car compared to "back in the day"). It's made by "Tow Trust", not a make I've heard of but it appears to be a good strong, quality item - and importantly it's almost invisible when not in use. I now have a towbar-mounted bike carrier, although I haven't yet tried it out!

Quinoa isn't just some hipster food, it's actually incredibly nutritional and versatile. It's a grain that's grown and the seeds are eaten. It's not quite a grass and not quite a cereal, but it's related to other healthy vegetables like spinach and beetroot.
A common ingredient in vegetarian food, there's no reason why carnivores and herbivores alike can't enjoy quinoa. It can be served alongside meat, used in a wide range of cuisines, and it has a huge number of benefits. Here are the top ten reasons why you should start eating quinoa today.
1. It has an amazing nutrient breakdown
Ever wondered what quinoa actually offers you? This is a breakdown of the nutritional value of quinoa. Each percentage relates to your recommended daily allowance and the quantity is just one cup.
Potassium – 9%
Zinc – 13%
Iron – 15%
Copper – 18%
Folate – 19%
Phosphorus – 28%
Magnesium – 30%
Manganese – 58%
The same cup also contain five grams of fiber and eight grams of protein. All of this is much more than you'd get with a lot of other foods and it even gives you a vitamin boost containing vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E.

Title: LIFEL1K3
Author: Jay Kristoff
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: May 29, 2018
Page Count: 416
My rating: 4 stars
About the book:
From the coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Illuminae Files comes the first book in a new series that's part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator, and all adrenaline.
On an island junkyard beneath a sky that glows with radiation, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap. Seventeen-year-old Eve isn't looking for trouble–she's too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she spent months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, she's on the local gangster's wanted list, and the only thing keeping her grandpa alive is the money she just lost to the bookies. Worst of all, she's discovered she can somehow destroy machines with the power of her mind, and a bunch of puritanical fanatics are building a coffin her size because of it. If she's ever had a worse day, Eve can't remember it. The problem is, Eve has had a worse day–one that lingers in her nightmares and the cybernetic implant where her memories used to be. Her discovery of a handsome android named Ezekiel–called a "Lifelike" because they resemble humans–will bring her world crashing down and make her question whether her entire life is a lie. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic sidekick Cricket in tow, Eve will trek across deserts of glass, battle unkillable bots, and infiltrate towering megacities to save the ones she loves…and learn the truth about the bloody secrets of her past.
LIFEL1K3 by Jay Kristoff is the first book in the new Lifelike series, a bit of a young adult science fiction fantasy set in a dystopian environment. The blurb compares this to a bit of Romeo and Juliet mixed with Terminator. The author himself mentions Bladerunner and Mad Max. What you really have here is one heck of a creative mash up that certainly held it's own and distinguished a personality all for itself.
The story revolves mainly around seventeen year old Eve who lives in a world filled with so many horrors and does what she needs to survive. We join Eve in the middle of a battle in the Wardome that is a fight to the death with the mech she built herself as she fights to earn money in her way of surviving.
After the battle things begin to build for Eve and she finds her grandfather in danger and her memories are slowly coming back that she had forgotten. Eve and her best friend Lemon Fresh along with a whole cast of other creative characters then begin their dangerous journey that the story takes them on.
From the opening pages there's action piled on top of more action and the story will take you to places you'd never expect. Robots and romance, battles and blood, action and adventure…what more do we need? This is all just the opening pages really and one must read the story to understand the journey in Lifelike. The characters are well fleshed out, the world building quite intriguing and for those afraid of the romantic side it was definitely in the shadow of everything else the book held. Overall a fun beginning to this new series for sure.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

As most of you have noticed….I'm a pretty voracious knitter. I have a perpetual case of "KNIT ALL THE THINGS" coupled with occasional start-itis. This bodes well for me as a blogger. But this can become at odds with the rest of my life.
Recently I have found my stress level too high and my health too low. It has gotten so bad I haven't knit anything IN DAYS! I literally lost my knitting mojo along with my mojo for pretty much everything else. So in the efforts I'm looking for a new balance. I'm striving to find a dietary mix that better suits my body, I am trying to get my butt off the couch and moving a little more, and not put so much pressure on my knitting/blogging.
What does this mean for you dear readers? Well I might not be so diligent about posting every day. Never fear, my blog isn't going anywhere and neither am I. I just need to take my speed down a notch or seven. So you will continue to see my original posts as I have them and I hope to give some shout outs on my 'off' days to some other awesome bloggers and posts for your viewing pleasure.
Thank you for your patience and I hope you stick around!

The Passive Social Network I of III
What made the Internet explode, what makes it great, and what we want is collaboration. The Internet allows humans across all boundaries to communicate and create with one another. It's the most productive and useful feature the Internet offers. And currently, the Internet is explosively energized and active.
Collaboration and discovery are what make the Internet great. Then we have social networking, which adds an element of identity to it all. On the Internet you now have your 'Facebook self' for better or for worse. One good thing is the use of real names that humanizes the Internet.
Social networking creates a virtual representation of you, but only when you choose to input information. Have you ever looked at someone's profile that has nothing on it? That's because the design of a social network is passive in nature; it relies on its users to do the work for them.
And it's ok, because there are clearly social networks that make that model work for them. For OurPangea, we want something more. We want to do more of the work for the user so they are freer to explore, collaborate, and experience things with their friends. And not all of the friends they have ever collected, the friends that are with them now; either through our site or because of where they live. We don't want to be a passive network.
OurPangea will not be a passive network.
We will not restrict your life to what you know, where you live, or what you do. OurPangea will be an active network. It will be a network filled with people who want to collaborate with you, not stare at your profile. Social networks are like a mirror; they are a shadow of who you are. OurPangea will be like a vehicle you designed; built specifically to take you where you want to go and help you discover things you never expected.
Collaboration and discovery make the Internet great, and we want them to make OurPangea great too.

It's 2 a.m. and 21-year-old Joanirie Font is walking toward a local subway in Rome, Italy, after finishing a street show with her missions team. Her phone vibrates in her pocket, and as she pulls it out, the glow from the phone lights up the tears in her eyes.
"I didn't get in," she remembered, as she stared at the flowers on her white bedsheets. "I'm still pretty shocked about it. But I thank the Lord I didn't get into that school, because then I wouldn't be at ORU." Little did she know.
At eight years old, Joanirie and her family uprooted from Orlando, Florida, and planted themselves in Carolina, Puerto Rico. Joanirie's father, a second-generation pastor, assumed leadership of Iglesia Fuente de Agua Viva (The Fountain of Living Waters) after his father passed away.
A church with over 50,000 Facebook followers, Joanirie's father gained popularity through writing several books, appearing on broadcast TV and preaching at conferences around the world. Joanirie was involved in the church running social media, serving in the youth ministry and helping her dad around the church wherever she was needed.
After graduating high school, Joanirie began applying to schools. Her father had never been to Tulsa but had heard of ORU through friends in ministry. However, Joanirie wanted to study closer to home in order to stay with her family and young siblings for as long as she could.
"I've never been fixed on a school. I just want a good education," said Joanirie.
She studied general biology at the University of Puerto Rico for a year, which happened to be the most practical choice being only 15 minutes away from her home.
But after a new Puerto Rican governor was elected in 2016, economic changes to the public university resulted in protests and violence throughout the campus, which prevented Joanirie from attending school for a trimester. Looking for an escape from the chaos, she and her parents decided it would be best for her to continue her studies elsewhere.
"[My dad] was like, 'Just pick ORU already!'" recalled Joanirie.
She remained stubborn in wanting to stay close to home, despite her father's input. Joanirie applied to Universidad Iberoamericana, or UNIBE, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which was about an hour flight from her home. When in Rome for a mission trip in July 2016, she received the news that she was not accepted into UNIBE.
"I had all the requirements. That just meant that someone higher than me kicked me off the list, and it's that simple," said Joanirie.
Joanirie didn't know where to go next. The day after receiving news of her rejection, she received a call from her dad urging her to apply to ORU once again, and she finally gave in. ORU admissions told Joanirie that once they received her transcript and paperwork, they would decide within three days if she was accepted.
Still on her mission trip in Italy, Joanirie, with the help of friends, had just a few short days to get all her paperwork from Puerto Rico to Tulsa.
"I was like, 'God, if you want me to go to ORU, I just want a physical confirmation,'" she said.
After her mission trip, she met her family in Guatamala for a conference called "Ensancha," where her father was a guest speaker. She was riding the elevator with her dad when a tall, American man walked in and opened a conversation.
"He's like 'Hi, how are you? Where do you study?' [I told him] I applied to ORU," said Joanirie. "I don't know who this man is."
As they stepped out of the elevator, the man asked her to spell out her name, and he typed it into his phone.
"He [said], 'I just texted the head of admissions. I'm the president of that school. I'll see you there next week,'" Joanirie remembered, with a still-frivolous excitement in her eyes. "I was like, I guess this is my physical confirmation!"
ORU President Dr. William Wilson was also a guest speaker at Ensancha, but they hadn't recognized him. Less than a week later, with three black bags in hand, Joanirie was ready for her 2,000 mile journey overseas.
The fall of 2018 marked the beginning of the 22-year-old's second and final year at ORU. Joanirie hopes to graduate in the spring with a degree in medical molecular biology and a minor in psychology. She has planned her wedding for May 2019, whereafter she and her husband will move to Mexico.
"I like to plan ahead, but my life has changed a lot this year," said Joanirie. "I always told God, 'Whatever you want me to do, I'll drop anything and just do it.'"

86 GL 5sp sporadically won't move
1cor6.nine-11 posted a topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...Hi again friends. I recently had my clutch changed and immediately after, I had an issue where I would put the car in 1st or reverse, try to release the clutch and it couldn't move, making the engine bog down as if the emergency brake was on or the gears were somehow bound up. However, once I press and release the clutch, the car would take off as usual. Now it continues to bind up occasionally like that (maybe once per day) but an extra press and release of the clutch frees things up. It feels like maybe 4wd becomes partially engaged (just enough to bind - if that's even possible); however I don't understand why it would start immediately after the clutch was changed and why a press of the clutch would release it. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks in advance. JW 86 gl 1.8 5sp dual range 4wd

text: May has said MPs who vote against her Brexit plan would risk damaging Britain's democracy [Jeff Overs/BBC/Handout via Reuters] British Prime Minister Theresa May has reiterated that a delayed parliamentary vote on her widely maligned Brexit deal will go ahead later this month and warned the UK would enter "uncharted territory" should it be rejected by MPs. In an interview with the BBC on Sunday, May pledged to set out new measures to address the contentious Northern Irish "backstop" clause in her withdrawal plans in a bid to win over sceptical legislators. She also promised a greater role for the British Parliament in negotiations over future trade relations with the European Union. "If the deal is not voted on at this vote that's coming up then we are going to be in uncharted territory and I don't think anybody can say exactly what will happen in terms of the reaction we will see in parliament," May told the BBC. Parliamentary opposition The UK is poised to leave the EU on March 29, two years after it triggered Article 50, the exit clause in the EU's constitution, and kick-started arduous negotiations with European leaders over a divorce deal. Last month, May pulled a vote on the brokered withdrawal agreement, settled on in November after more than a year of back-and-forth negotiations between London and Brussels, acknowledging it would have been roundly rejected by the UK's lower chamber House of Commons. She later announced the vote would go forward in the week beginning January 14. 181214120018250 But parliamentary opposition to her deal remains fierce, with the main sticking point being the safety net "backstop" measure - which would guarantee no hard border is erected on the island of Ireland in the event that post-Brexit trade negotiations between the UK and the bloc prove unsuccessful. Critics of the backstop, which proposes that the whole of the UK, including Northern Ireland, remain in a customs union with the EU "unless and until" the bloc agrees there is no prospect of a return to a hard border, argue it could tie the UK into the EU's orbit indefinitely. In an effort to assuage MPs concerns, May has lobbied her European counterparts and officials in Brussels to make concessions on the clause. The EU, for its part, has insisted that the withdrawal agreement cannot be renegotiated but has made clear the backstop is meant only as a temporary measure of last resort. DUP digs its heels in The Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which May's ruling Conservative Party relies on to command a majority in parliament, has urged the British leader to stand firm in demanding that the EU changes its "poison" backstop provision on Ireland's post-Brexit border, however. "The backstop remains the poison which makes any vote for the Withdrawal Agreement so toxic," DUP Deputy Leader Nigel Dodds said in a statement on Sunday. "The coming days will show if this government is made of the right stuff," he added. The main opposition Labour Party has also pledged to vote down May's deal in parliament and threatened to initiate a no-confidence vote in her leadership should MPs refuse to back her plan. 181208084355355 Analysts said May's comments to the BBC did little to conceal the fact the British leader has no "gamechanger" amendments to the proposed withdrawal agreement capable of swinging the parliamentary arithmetic in her favour. "We are pretty much where we were before Christmas, with the proviso that there's less time left. I don't see how the deal passes at the moment ... the interesting thing will be how much it loses by at the first attempt," Anand Menon, a professor of European politics and foreign affairs at King's College London, told Al Jazeera. "There are some MPs who are looking for an excuse to back the deal and so, something tokenistic and declaratory from the EU on the backstop clause would work for them, but I don't understand how that would work for the DUP, and that's where the action is," he added. "Peeling off five of 10 Conservative Party MPs is neither here nor there, but if you get the DUP in line, May will give lots of parliamentarians an excuse to say, 'Well, OK, if they're happy with it I can't really justify going around moaning about the Irish backstop.'" No-deal departure fears Amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Britain's high-drama Brexit process, fears that the country could exit the 28-member EU bloc without a deal on the terms of its departure have continued to escalate. 181218142414510 The UK's central bank has warned that Britain's gross domestic product could shrink by up to eight percent in such a scenario. The government, for its part, has forecast a potential economic slump of more than nine percent in the wake of a no-deal Brexit. In a letter published by UK newspaper the Mail on Sunday, May warned critics of her departure plan risk damaging Britain's democracy and weakening its economy by opposing her deal. She also alleged her deal was the only one that respects the UK's 2016 referendum result, in which 52 percent of Britons voted to leave the EU. Growing calls for referendum rerun But a new survey published by polling firm YouGov on Sunday suggested more Britons now want to remain a member of the bloc than leave it, however. 181201182945771 According to the research, which was commissioned by pro-second referendum campaign group the People's Vote, 46 percent of voters would opt to remain while 39 percent would vote to leave in the event of a rerun of the 2016 ballot. When the undecided and those who refused to answer were removed from the sample, the split was 54-46 in favour of remaining. The survey of more than 25,000 voters also showed that 41 percent of Britons thought the final decision about Brexit should be made by a new public vote versus 36 percent who believe it should be up to parliament. Removing those who are undecided, the split was 53 percent in favour of another referendum and 47 percent against. Menon, however, argued the prospect of a second referendum being held remained slim. "It's very hard to achieve - there isn't a majority in parliament for it … [and] it would require a significant extension of Article 50," Menon said. "It's also impossible to say whether public opinion is in favour of a second referendum or not because answers to that question have varied basically as a function of the question that's being asked," he added. "The polls split very clearly depending on the question you ask." Additional reporting by David Child: @DavidChild90 Counting the Cost What's the cost of brokering Brexit?

This Scottish adventurer circumnavigated the entire globe on a bike, and seems like the ultimate Chum to me! We're so proud and honoured to have Mark endorsing Challenge Chum, this is what he had to say just after we launched the site at the start of this year:
"Just heard about Challenge Chum – a grand idea, so if you are sitting there looking for a challenge or to buddy up for an epic adventure, check it out. It's non-for-profit so won't be asking you for your credit card details!! https://www.challengechum.com"
Between July-September 2018, Mark is embarking on a Record Breaking quest to cycle around the world in 80 days (www.artemisworldcycle.com). Please show him all of the support you can and tweet him @MrMarkBeaumont along the way to help him achieve this gruelling challenge.
Take a look at the challenges on offer, and get in touch with the organiser if you're keen. Who knows – you might end up Chumming Mark on one of his next great adventures!

There are 2 potential reasons for this kind of behaviour where Alerts are not closed when the related Incident state is Resolved/Closed
- The schedule job: Event Management - create/resolved incidents by alerts calls the script include: EvtMgmtAlertManagementJob which in turn calls other script include: EvtMgmtAlertActions, which looks for the alert severity and if the severity is "Info" then we ignore these alerts. This is an OOB behaviour.
- OOB scheduled job "Event Management - create/resolved incidents by alerts" set to false by default from London. Please refer to the KB: KB0723087 which has more details about this functionality.

Testimony for Christ
"I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ." Philemon 6 (ESV)
It is in sharing our testimony of what Christ has done and is doing in our lives that we most grow into His likeness. Just as love that remains unexpressed is of no value to the one who hides it from the object of their love, so not sharing our faith is of no value to us and to others. By sharing with others why we believe, we are actually "preaching" the gospel as it was meant to be shared.
Let's pray today that we may faithfully share what our Lord has done and is doing in our lives.

PARIS WNBR farce
Four baffled police motorcycle outriders arrived at 1.00pm at the Espace Naturiste in Paris on Sunday 8 September. Paris WNBR organisers then had to inform them that the Paris local government had cancelled the planned ride – just the day before on Saturday 7th. But the local government department officers had not informed this police unit. That meant the police escort to clear the WNBR route through Paris traffic was not needed.
Months of planning by APNEL's Jacques Frimon, together with Gilles had gone into the ride. APNEL is the French equivalent of the UK's Naturist Action Group. All the correct procedures were followed and permissions were granted. Then on the Saturday Didier Lallement, Prefect (head) of the Paris Police decided that the ride should not be classified as a protest – as all other WNBR rides are accepted to be internationally – but would instead be classed as an illegal sexual display.
On the Sunday morning hundreds of riders turned up at the Espace Naturiste in Bois de Vincennes. Also there in force were

The TUC has published a briefing for union officials and members which outlines some of its plans for the 'A Future That Works' demonstration.
The event will be held in London, on 20 October, with other events planned for the same day in other parts of the country.
The information is as follows:
· The TUC has announced two new London coach parking hubs - New Covent Garden (for coaches travelling from the South and West) and the O2 Arena coach park (for those travelling from the East). Coach bays at both hubs can be booked directly through the TUC.
· Coach drop off arrangements will be finalised nearer the event time. Where people are dropped off and picked up will be a matter for coach organisers to agree with their clients, but you should expect to use public transport for the final stage of your journey, as most people did for 26 March.
· Stagger arrival times – people will start assembling at 11 but marchers will move off for some hours after that, so it is possible to arrive up to 2pm.
· Join from the rear – people arriving at the front of the march will be expected to make their way to the rear, which could be a long way. That makes Westminster, Embankment and Temple inappropriate stations to use – and may be closed by TfL if they become too busy. The TUC is asking people to use a station that minimises any need to change in central London and walk from that. Blackfriars (particularly for early arrivals), Southwark, St Pauls are all sensible choices. People using Waterloo are advised to stick to the south of the river and use Blackfriars bridge. Look at the map and be creative!
· Please follow @futurethatworks on Twitter for info about form-up and other details on the day.
· People who wish to offer coach places can use the False Economy website to do so at http://falseeconomy.org.uk/oct20
· Good progress has been made on recruiting stewards for the route and the TUC has named contacts at unions who responsible for specific sections of the march route. People can still sign up to be stewards via the march website.
· The TUC executive has agreed that it will allocate the form up zones at the front of the march to TUC affiliates in order of their size, with the biggest at the front. Smaller unions that wish to march together, such as the Performers' Alliance, will be allocated the same zone. The TUC will be communicating this directly to unions. Once these zones are full and after the march has moved off, people will need to join the rear of the march.
· The TUC strongly discourages feeder marches as it is unable to steward them, and they block roads that may be need for disabled and other access vital to the march. Nor will it stop its march to allow unofficial feeder marches to join. They will need to wait for the entire march to pass. But there is nothing to stop people making informal arrangements to meet around the form-up area and walk (on pavements as pedestrians) to the march - or meet elsewhere and travel together by public transport.
· The TUC is working closely with the TUC disabled workers committee to ensure that the event is as accessible as possible.
· There will be three main ways for those with mobility issues to participate in the march. · · ·
· There will be a form-up area off the Embankment. Disabled toilets will be provided.
· There will be a short march that assembles in St James Street off Piccadilly for those who do not wish to walk the full route. People will feed in from this into the march as it moves past, not form a section of the full march. There are nearby disabled toilets.
· There will be a wheelchair viewing platform in Hyde Park for those either arriving with the march or who wish to go straight there. There will be wheelchair charging points and disabled toilets.
· The TUC will shortly be launching a placard competition as a way of encouraging more people to come on the demonstration in a creative way. Marchers will be encouraged to upload videos of how they're making their placards, and popular placards will be spotlighted on 20 October.
· The TUC will book a band for the front of the march, but would welcome unions bringing or sponsoring bands. Please keep the TUC informed of your plans as it will need to make necessary arrangements for those with instrument cases/access issues. The Musicians Union has indicated that October is an extremely busy time in most musicians calendar so early bookings are advisable, but Keith Ames of the MU has offered to help unions find suitable bands. email@example.com
· As highlighted in the last bulletin, you can now download all you need to help publicise the march both in print and online at www.afuturethatworks.org
· The TUC is continuing to ask people to actively pledge support online and use social media to promote the event to their friends and contacts.
· A dedicated Twitter feed @futurethatworks is being used to build momentum and will be a key source of information on the day for guidance including where the rear of the march is located. The TUC is using the hashtag #Oct20 to link up people supporting the march.
· As well as using the pledge sign-up on the TUC website, the widget used there can also be easily hosted on other websites. If you want to do this, contact John firstname.lastname@example.com who will be able to customise it for you.

ColourPop Roosevelt Blush Stix Review & Swatches
Colour Pop Roosevelt Blush Stix ($8.00 for 0.33 oz.) is a medium-dark, coppery brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It wasn't quite as dewy in its finish compared to most shades in the range, but it still had a subtle luminosity that was more than matte. The texture was lightweight, emollient without being tacky, and spreadable, which made for easy blending and application that worked just as well over bare skin as it did atop foundation. It had opaque color coverage when applied directly from the tube, but if sheerer or more buildable application is preferred, using fingertips or brushes did the trick. The color lasted well for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed fading/subtle movement of the product on my skin.
Clinique Sunkissed Pop (LE, ) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar).Flower Beauty Cinnamon (P, $9.99) is lighter (90% similar).Laura Mercier Earth (LE, $24.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar).NARS Silvana (P, $30.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar).Makeup Geek Infatuation (P, $10.00) is more shimmery, warmer, less glossy (90% similar).Becca Sweet Pea (P, $32.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar).Bite Beauty Honeywheat (P, $24.00) is warmer (85% similar).By Terry Tropical Sunset #6 (LE, ) is more shimmery, warmer, less glossy (85% similar).MAC Liberating (LE, $24.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (85% similar).MAC Semi-Sweet (LE, ) is more shimmery, more muted, warmer (85% similar).
Formula Overview
$8.00/0.33 oz. – $24.24 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to "blend effortlessly" with a "natural, skin-like finish" that can be layered or applied on bare skin. The brand recommends applyling directly from the tube for heavier coverage and using a brush to pick up product for less coverage, though the coverage "easily builds colour to your heart's desire." They dry down to a semi-set finish–lightly dewy, definitely "natural, skin-like" in appearance, but not overly tacky or really wet-looking. I haven't found that they migrate or move around much, so the formula is still longer-wearing at seven to nine hours with minimal movement. They have applied well and worn well over foundation thus far, too. They are not transfer-proof but are transfer-resistant; they won't smear around with an inadvertent touch but aren't fully locked down.
The pigmentation varied a bit from shade to shade, but most shades were semi-opaque to fully opaque when applied directly from the tube in one "swipe" motion, though I think mimicking this on cheeks isn't quite as easily done as compared to my arm. I preferred picking up product on my fingertip, patting on the apple of my cheek and diffusing upward and outward, then using a clean fingertip to diffuse and soften the edges as needed. I appreciated that even the deeper hues didn't seem to "sink" into my pores and were as easy to apply and blend out as very light, more my-skin-but-better (literally, my skin!) hues. I would describe the formula was buildable from semi-sheer to medium with semi-opaque coverage possible, but there's enough slip in the formula that it starts to sheer out noticeably even when applied more heavily.
The consistency was lightly emollient, lightweight, and thin with good spreadability and movement; it didn't lift up base products but still worked well over bare skin. I didn't experience it lifting up or creating patchiness over time on top of foundation, even when I set the foundation initially, but I would recommend (same as I would for most cream-based cheek formulas!) to pair with a less-matte foundation for optimal results (the dewy finish plays well with a more skin-like base).
Oh, the caps have the names of the products, but the rest of the tube doesn't, so if you have more than one open, take care in getting the right lid back on!

Fingers are being pointed and excuses are being drummed up as Democrats scramble to find reasons for the beat-down they received in the mid-term elections. If they would step outside their agenda for a moment they would see the one basic reason: arrogant overreach.
Arrogance is a far-left characteristic that Obama brought to the White House and it infected his administration and the entire Democrat Party. It fueled the false beliefs that Obama had a "mandate" to transform America and that his far-left social engineering agenda was acceptable to the majority.
Because of these false "beliefs", Obama was given free reign from Democrats and the media to do whatever he wished. This allowed Obamacare to get hastily passed into law by a Democrat Congress ignorant of its contents and willfully blind to the deceit used to sell it.
The quick and successful passage of Obamacare convinced Democrats they had a righteous infallibility and when combined with arrogance, it compelled them to overreach on almost every issue. Critics were demeaned, silenced, and ignored as free birth control, abortions, open borders, amnesty, higher taxes, troop pullout, drones, part-time jobs, bailouts, increased food stamps, school lunch programs, and much more was dumped onto society.
Obama and Democrats arrogantly forced too much too quickly. It was political overreach. Failure of many of Obama's foreign policies can also be attributed to overreach. The world doesn't accept change any quicker than society does, especially without investigating the consequences.
This mid-term election was proof of the adage that "pride comes before the fall". One can debate whether pride or arrogance comes first, but they are almost always found together. One can also debate Jonathan Gruber's claim of taking advantage of the "stupidity of the American voter" but it is a known fact that taking voter stupidity for granted can be perilous. Just ask any Democrat.

19 Jan It's Monday! We Have Been Comparing Text Structures
We love the way these two texts approach the same topic in such different ways. Readers will have so much to say as they compare and contrast how two authors used text structure, language and word choice to evoke powerful images in readers' minds.
Winter is Coming, Tony Johnston and Jim LaMarche
The way Tony Johnston describes what a girl sees from her tree house as fall turns into winter is breathtaking. The poetic language is perfect to help readers learn the power of creating sensory images as they read.
Look at the way the strong verbs add rhythm and layers of meaning:
"It (The lynx) paws out a beetle from the frozen leaves."
"Two stripy chipmunks ripple from branch to branch of a pine."
Readers and writers can study this text and see how figurative language enhances understanding. Notice the way the comparisons in these sentences bring vivid images to the reader's mind.
"The red fox shines like a small red fire."
"The apple is wrinkled like my grandma's face."
"A lynx with Egypt eyes. A lynx the color of the moon."
This text is also interesting for writers to study and learn ways to show the passage of time. Look at some of the different ways Tony Johnston shows this progression:
"October is gone."
"Another day"
"Dawn burns the sky."
"It's late November now."
Winter is Coming is a text that will be a mentor text in both reading and writing workshops. There is so much students can learn as they read, notice and study the way this text is crafted.
Fall Leaves, Loretta Holland
This is a beautiful book with a unique text structure. If you read the headings on each page, they create a list poem about fall. Yet the text under these poetic headings is informational.
We love pairing this text with Winter is Coming because the language is just as powerful even though the genre is different. Notice the way Loretta Holland writes about how flowers become dormant in winter:
"Many flowers such as tulips, daffodils, and others go to sleep for the winter, and when spring comes they being to grow again."
The strong verbs and figurative language in this text show readers that these crafting techniques can be effective writing tools in all genres.
"The bottoms of the leaves look silver, like rain, and flash in the breeze as rain approaches."
Don't miss Elly MacKay's illustrations. The lighting and the warmth in the pictures enhance the mood of this text. (insert photo)
We would love to hear about the books, videos and images your students are comparing and contrasting. How does looking across texts help your students deepen their understandings?

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) – Gov. Bruce Rauner has named three cabinet members to replace top aides who are retiring.
The Republican named replacements Friday for Transportation Secretary Randall Blankenhorn, Agriculture Director Raymond Poe and Kirk Lonbom, secretary of the Department of Innovation and Technology.
Each is retiring Dec. 31. Rauner will leave the governor's office Jan. 14 when Democratic Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker is inaugurated.
Matt Magalis will replace Blankenhorn at the Department of Transportation. Replacing Lonbom at the agency referred to as DoIT will be Jack King. Those jobs both pay $150,200 annually.
Poe will be replaced by Warren Goetsch at the Department of Agriculture. The salary for that post is $133,300 per year.
Pritzker this week named top staff members but has yet to indicate who will make up his cabinet.

Hello all,
My situation is as follows. I got a Ryzen 1600 on a Gigabyte X370 Gaming 5K motherboard. I overclocked my cpu changing the the first p-state. My CPU is running now 3,9Ghz @1,406V with a 38,25 multiplier and a blck of 102. I use a NZXT Kraken X62 AIO as CPU cooler.
When I am playing a game that is heavely singlethreaded or using prime95 and stressing only two cores (with cpu affinity to only 2 core) then Windows taskmanager tells me the clockspeed of my CPU is ~4,05/4,15 Ghz. I got the feeling that XFR is kicking in and rising the clockspeed a extra few hundred Mhz. I want to confirm this with other tools like CPU-Z and HWIFO64 or RyzenMaster. Those tools only show me 3,9Ghz (38,25*102).
So is my CPU running on 2 cores 4,05+ Ghz or is it limited to 3,9 Ghz. Does XFR show up in tools that i am using or not?
Thank you for your help.
edit: i ran my PC on stock settings and i see the same behavior. The maximum clock speeds are 3,4 Ghz in all the tools, but in Windows Taskmanager the clockspeed is showing 3.6Ghz. The maximum core boost of the Ryzen 1600.

Greater Knoxville, TN, area; July 24, 2017 – Resort Trades CEO Tim Wilson and Publisher Sharon Scott, RRP, recently attended the 30th Annual Convention of the Asociación Mexicana de Desarrolladores Turísticos A.C., or simply AMDETUR, held in Puerto Vallarta, earlier this summer. "We attended the meeting because we are considering publishing and mailing a Spanish language edition of The Trades," Scott remarks. "We were not surprised to see that using digital tools for marketing and customer communication were the hottest topics.
One particularly insightful panel, "New Opportunities and Challenges in the Digital Era," moderated by Jim Wehrle, focused particularly on these and other evocative questions. Wehrle, a board member of C.A.R.E. (Cooperative Association of Resort Exchangers) who provides Internet marketing services primarily for Sunset World, began the session by observing the challenge inherent in trying to keep in step with rapidly evolving technology.
His was an interesting point, which he illustrated with several examples of how change can disrupt or change how business is conducted. Take, for example, the purchase of WhatsApp, which Facebook acquired last year for nearly $22 billion. Since Facebook already owned another direct messaging tool, Messenger, it remains to be seen how the company will utilize both. Another example is the increasing use by companies of chat boxes and robots to provide instantaneous response. In an era of instant gratification, these 'right-now' tools provide both challenges to fully implement and opportunities to provide great service and promote a resort's business.
Attracting and selling to millennials is a common theme in the industry these days, as witnessed at the conference. The "M" word was perhaps the most commonly used term throughout the meeting and was certainly a part of any discussion about technology. Panel member Kevin Schneider, CEO of SaveOnResorts, shared statistics about young adults in the U.S., including the fact that there are 92 million of them right now and they are spending $1.4 trillion on travel. He observed that while in the past, millennials and others began making travel plans by finding a hotel on the Internet, more and more vacationers in this age group today are focusing first on what experiences they hope to have. They are more likely to turn to friends, first, before checking on TripAdvisor.
Schneider also predicted a rising prevalence of virtual reality and a dependence on artificial intelligence as marketing tools. Plus, technology is already changing the sales process as prospective buyers 'Google' prices, competitors and even the salespersons, themselves, as they sit at the table.
Also on the panel was Consulting & Advisory Tourism Oriented Real Estate at Resort Condominiums International de México Leonel Matiz, who mentioned the use of Big Data in generating business intelligence. Certainly, RCI has significant access to sophisticated technology when addressing data security and spam regulations. Matiz encouraged developers to consider ways to introduce disruptive technology internally within the industry, rather than having it foisted upon us by outside agencies like Airbnb or Uber. "Think of ways to 'massify' an existing product," he said. "We need to deploy technology that will make our products easier to use."
Along these lines, another panel member, César Ramirez, KPMG Cárdenas Dosal's national leadership partner, Tourism and Hospitality Sector, termed the disruptiveness of technology as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Interestingly, he observed that while the revolutions of the past have typically survived for a century before the next big change, that of technology has evolved much more quickly. He predicted timeshare resorts will soon be creating apps like the My Disney Experience mobile app with its interactive, GPS-enabled map and event- or wait-times prediction capability. He said the back office will undergo a total change with the use of artificial intelligence to run routine operations. "There will eventually be a 'tier three' robot that has the ability to make decisions about certain activities," said Ramirez. "Resorts will be saving time and money, as well as providing exceptional service, by using automated procedures and responding to customer-driven demand, instantaneously."
According to Wehrle, "There will be tremendous advances including cell phone check-in and replacing keys with mobile device applications." Wehrle predicted greater use of technology to provide analytics will become the hallmark of the timeshare industry.
Track Results VP of Business Development Ryan Williams remarks were in-line with this assessment. He pointed out that resorts should not only be collecting raw data, but can have their data analyzed even today through intelligent technology. "We need to use analytics to interpret the information we already have," he said.
In Williams' view, transparency is a big challenge for the industry thanks to technology. "The customer can learn all about the company," he observed, "but the company needs to learn about the individual customer, too."
Several members of the panel suggested there has been an over-emphasis in the focus on millennials. Wehrle suggested resort operators who concentrate on staying current with leading edge technology will reach vacationers at every age level. "Millennials are those who were born in the '80s and '90s, but I'm from the '40s and I manage 15 social media accounts using my mobile device," he said. "So it's not a matter of age. We just need to develop apps and tools to reduce response time and deliver the best customer service."

Romanticism's Unruly Hero
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 314 pp., $65.00 (distributed by Yale University Press)
Devotion to Drawing: The Karen B. Cohen Collection of Eugène Delacroix
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 176 pp., $30.00 (paper) (distributed by Yale University Press)
Color is Eugène Delacroix's hero. He fights for color. He lives for color. His oil paintings are luxurious orchestrations of feverish reds, velvety blues, dusky purples, astringent oranges, and shimmering greens. In his works on paper, some of the same colors, presented as isolated elements, become refreshingly austere. There is nothing that this giant of nineteenth-century French painting cannot do with color. If his art is uneasy, it's because his color is never easy. He flirts with chromatic chaos. He yearns for chromatic catharsis. "The very sight of my palette," he once wrote, "freshly set out with the colors in their contrasts is enough to fire my enthusiasm." However alien we may find some of his gaudy fantasies and megalomaniacal ambitions, there is no question that he is an artist who knows how to fill our eyes.
What's demoralizing about the retrospective that is currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is that Delacroix's coloristic genius is so hard to find. The sepulchral installation muffles and sometimes even strangles his work. Is this the museum's idea of what it takes to set a mood worthy of Delacroix's reputation as the leader of the Romantic movement in France? There is hardly any ambient light in the galleries. Most of the walls are painted a blackish-blue or a brownish-purple. Museumgoers find themselves thrust from one awkwardly spotlit painting to another, as if they were seeing them as part of the Disney World Haunted Mansion ride. Asher Miller, the curator who organized the retrospective, may have worried that if he didn't give Delacroix's work a shot of horror-show lighting, the artist, who was sixty-five when he died in Paris in 1863, would seem a figure adrift in early-twenty-first-century Manhattan. Miller and his team have refused to stand back and let him speak for himself. They've turned even Delacroix's subtlest dramas into murky melodramas.
There is no question that a Delacroix retrospective poses challenges. At a time when we are grappling with doubts and diminishments in so many areas of our social, cultural, and political life, museumgoers may find themselves nonplussed by the bulldozer Romanticism of some of his work. Delacroix's grandest canvases, along with Hector Berlioz's operatic and symphonic works and Victor Hugo's plays, novels, and poems, have a sweep and an insistence that can strike us as not so much authoritative as authoritarian. We may prefer our Romantic painters to be philosophical and skeptical and neurotic, like the German Casper David Friedrich, or pastoral and contemplative, like the Englishmen John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.
Delacroix, who very much admired Constable's landscapes, certainly had a quietistic side, which was reflected in the sensitivity with which he painted darkened interiors, shadowy glades, and boats in shimmering water. He was a man of many parts. Even in his own day…

Testability starts with Code
The huge advantages of Pair Programming
Testability and low defect rates must be baked into code from the start.
This talk covers how to Pair Program, what benefits you can expect from adopting this as a 100% committed activity, and what you'll need to overcome.
I've always been a fan of the XP practices of Pairing and TDD, but recently I've moved from intellectually believing that pairing was a good idea, to a deep connection with the behaviour it encourages and the outcomes that it produces.
Stats show us how much it costs to find bugs in code through testing after the code is complete, so our drive must be to produce better code. This better world needs the skills of developers and testers, and pairing allows us to collaborate in better ways to produce quality software.
A conversational explanation of the topic from a developer's point of view is covered in my blog: https://beingrealblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/29/impressed-with-pair-programming/

In today's high-pressured society, people often feel the need to "get away" and relax and recover to be able to deal with the pressures of business and life. Sometimes the process of "getting away" becomes as stressful as the work or life situation. There is the time necessary to plan a vacation or getaway. There is the expense of the tickets or hotel room or flight as the case may be. And there is the stress of actually getting from here to there. Whether by plane or train or bus or car, there is a time of stress while getting to a place to relax.
There is something to be said for owning your own private lake or pond, if you have the land necessary to create one. The investments made in ongoing vacations will come and go without any monetary return. A property where a lake or pond has been developed has increased net worth. In other words, the money spent on a vacation you will never see again (unless you end up making a business deal while out on the surf and sand). The money placed into creating your own lake is something that increases the homeowner's land value, and can be something that is passed down as part of a family legacy.
When considering creating a pond or lake, it is an excellent idea to go to a professional. Some people scour the internet for free advice. Some of the advice is good, but to the uninstructed, there is no real way to know which is the most critical and important advice to know. Everything has its learning curve. If a person has ever done a do-it-yourself home project, he or she realizes that there is a requirement to buy the tools and learn the tricks of the trade and often it would be cheaper in the long run to simply go to an expert. They have been through the paces and know the things to do and the things to avoid.
Building a private pond or lake is a significant project. It involves testing the soil and finding out the soil's capacity to hold water. It requires understanding the watershed. It requires understanding and planning the lake or pond in accordance with the homeowner's vision. It requires knowing how line the pond or lake if a liner is necessary. It requires knowing how to create the proper environment for fish, how to stock fish properly in the proper ratios, and how to control weeds and algae. There are many factors to consider and those who are professionals know how to deal with these factors, both in the construction of a lake or pond, and in the stocking of a lake or pond.
A private lake or pond is a great place to get away and relax. It can be as close as stepping out the back door. It is a way to bond with family and friends, and unwind from the stress of modern day living. A private lake or pond can definitely be a good investment that holds value for the future.

Avigal Henna products are made from 100% henna. Henna comes from the henna tree (Lawsonia inermis). The tree grows in North Africa, India, and in other hot, arid regions. The foliage from the henna tree has been used for centuries to dye cloth and the skin. Today, companies like Avigal Henna use henna to create hair dyes that do not include the harmful chemicals that many conventional hair color products use. It is believed that the chemicals used to manufacture conventional hair color products can cause everything from brain tumors to neurological problems. Avigal prides itself on using only 100% henna to produce a 100% all natural hair color line.
Avigal henna uses the new shrubs of the Lawsonia plant to create natural hair coloring and highlights. When mixed with hot water and applied to the hair in a paste mixture, the leaves, roots, and stems of the Lawsonia plant create subtle and natural highlights without chemically altering the structure of the hair, and without the drying effects harsh chemical dyes can have. Avigal Henna products are safe to use on all hair types whether bleached, permed, tinted or virgin. Besides using 100% all-natural, chemical free henna, Avigal Henna has a number of other benefits.
Avigal Henna products:
Add body, texture, and bounce
Conditions dull hair that has been abused by chemicals

Happy Cinco de Mayo y'all!! I always love this holiday because it's a little bit random, a whole lotta bright, & even more fun! Who doesn't love a day that involves celebrating by eating tacos and drinking tequila?! #PartyTime
For my celebratory outfit, I thought this striped off the shoulder dress was perfect! It's the lightest weight material and so fun! I saw it online back in February and it sold out instantly- leaving me nothing to do but stalk it for the next two months until it came back in stock 😉 I'm so happy I snagged it and am already excited to wear it again!
Dress: Target // Sandals: Target // Apple Watch
It's for real Thirsty Thursday today y'all! Go out and enjoy it! Ole!!
PS- happy birthday to my wonderful dad!! He is the hardest-working man I know and has truly shown me what it means to take care of your family. He would do anything for us and I hope on his special day he knows how much I admire him! Love you dad!!

One of the rarest things out there today is a person with a perfect credit record. Simply put, with all of the credit available today, it is just not common for a person to have a score that is solid anymore. But even the people who have made some mistakes in the past need to get emergency money every now and then. When the traditional financial market blocks people out because of their past, where are they supposed to turn? A signature payday loan is one option, and it is in a good one in many cases.
These are loans that are not meant to be used as a long term financial answer, and they are not marketed that way. It is emergency cash and emergency cash only. Some people like to know that they have an avenue for cash available in the case that they need it. Today, there are companies out there that do not even need to check your credit. They offer these loans with only a signature and a couple of requirements. This is a risky loan for them, but they balance that out with higher than average rates on these loans.
So why do these signature payday loan companies exist? Really, it comes down to the fact that bad things can happen even to good people. What happens when a medical emergency causes you to have some piled up bills that ruin your credit score? This is only one example, but it is the real reason why these companies serve people who don't have many other options.
Not just any random person can walk up and get money, though. There are a couple of requirements that you must fulfill if you want to get your hands on the money. First and foremost, you need identification, so that they know that you are who the person you say you are. In addition, you need to have a job and you need to have a bank account, so that they can guarantee repayment of the loan.
These lenders are available all over, both in the community and over the internet. For the most part, they offer people with a chance to get money quickly, and without looking at credit scores. A signature payday loan is not any sort of long term fix, but it can certainly bridge a gap or two in your time of financial crisis.

Jaime Benedicto, Mestre Roxinho – Project Bantu Philippines
Project Bantu Philippines uses the Afro-Brazilian art of Capoeira Angola to educate and empower some of Manila's most vulnerable young people. Due their dire circumstances, Filipino children must constantly fight for basic human needs like food, water, and safe shelter. This continual struggle combined with poor access to education, health care, and other important social services – as well as an abundance of drugs, alcohol, sex and violence in their communities – leads young people to develop undesirable, antisocial behaviors that can result in risky, potentially dangerous choices.
Through the music and movements of Capoeira Angola, Project Bantu helps these young people learn important life skills and develop key behavioral and social resources that will make them more successful in life.
