Dubbed "Motor City's biggest rock event so far this year," by the Detroit Free Press, the partial reunion of the classic lineup of GUNS N' ROSES kicked off its "Not In This Lifetime" tour last Thursday night, June 23 at the Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. GUNS N' ROSES performed a high-impact, hard rock show to a packed stadium.
A lot has changed in the concert touring world over the past two decades, but GUNS N' ROSES didn't skip a beat. With a custom-built stage and scenic set created by TAIT, the band brought the '80s and '90s rock experience to the twenty-tens.
To produce a monumental return for one of the most important bands in rock history, a team full of rock and roll geniuses is required. For the "Not In This Lifetime" tour, GUNS N' ROSES brought on production manager Dale "Opie" Skjerset, known for his previous work with the original lineup, set designer Phil Ealy, and tour managers Luis Soto and Del James. With TAIT's long-standing relationship with Opie, working together on tours such as AC/DC, BLACK SABBATH and THE ROLLING STONES, GUNS N' ROSES brought TAIT on board for full stage production and automation.
"Working on a tour that reunites the GUNS N' ROSES originals after over two decades was an opportunity that we couldn't miss," said Matt Hales, project manager, TAIT.
For such a buzzed-about reunion, the set and stage needed to give fans the full GUNS N' ROSES rock experience. TAIT built a 71-foot-wide main stage, including band risers, LED staircases made with TAIT's P9 LED video tiles, LED fascia and amp stacks, and a self-climber piano lift used for Axl Rose's performance of "November Rain". Additionally, TAIT developed an 80-foot automated video track truss system installed with power transmission units to automate Screenworks background video screens. TAIT Navigator, a proprietary automation software, operated and controlled the self-climber piano lift as well as automated Screenworks' video screens into variations of three to six columns.
GUNS N' ROSES next plays on Wednesday night (June 29) in Kansas City, Missouri.
GUNS N' ROSES singer Axl Rose just finished a stint as lead vocalist for AC/DC on that band's European festival run, and is slated to play at least ten North American shows with that group right after GUNS complete their stadium trek in late August.

Running Column: IMG New York City marathon will cap running season
The last weeks of October might be the busiest all year on the running calendar.
Scholastic cross country runners entering their championship seasons, the local and national race schedule reaching its crescendo, and the last few days of Daylight Saving Time giving runners a final opportunity to run after work in the light.
Still, the ING New York City Marthon is the 800-pound gorilla in the running news living room, creating the most and often the biggest buzz of the season.
With the 40th edition of the race scheduled for one week from today, here are some tidbits beyond what figures to be the biggest and quite possibly the best field ever assembled for the five-borough jaunt:
NATIONAL TV COVERAGE EXPANDED TO TWO HOURS: NBC Sports will devote two hours to their same-day, tape-delayed coverage of the race, double last year's coverage, New York Road Runners officials said today. The broadcast will begin at 2:00 p.m. EST, anchored by NBC Sports commentator Al Trautwig, who will be joined in the broadcast booth by veteran race journalist Toni Reavis. NBC Sports' Jimmy Roberts will host the show. NBC's coverage will follow live local free-to-air coverage on WNBC, as well as live streaming on UniversalSports.com.
TULU, CHERUIYOT ADDED TO FIELDS: Veterans Derartu Tulu and Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot have been added to the race's elite fields. Tulu, a three-time Olympic medalist at 10,000m (two gold) had been ramping up her training and felt ready to run a high quality marathon after running a solid 1:10:33 at the ING Philadelphia Distance Run half-marathon last month. Cheruiyot, a four-time Boston Marathon champion, was added to the field when his longtime friend Paul Tergat was forced to withdraw with a leg injury. Both Tulu, 37, and Cheruiyot, 31, have run marathon before, both in 2005; Tulu was third in 2:25:21 and Cheruiyot was fourth in 2:11:01.
WIINING DRIVE: Toyota and NYRR are teaming up for the "Pick the Champions" sweepstakes again. Contest participants are asked to visit www.pickthechampions.com or Toyota's Engines of Change booth at the race expo and select the winners for the men's and women's elite field. The grand prize winner will receive a 2010 Toyota Prius. Additional prizes will be provided by ASICS and Timex. Voting is open now and closes on race day-Sun., Nov. 1-at 8:00 a.m. with the winners being announced on Mon., Nov. 2.
LARGEST-EVER MARATHON FIELD: This year's race will have over 40,000 runners on the starting line, the largest-ever marathon in history. While there are other marathons with over 40,000 entrants, only about 75% of them actually get to the race and thus cannot be counted as having participated. The largest-ever marathon in history was the 2007 ING New York City Marathon with 39,265 starters and 38,607 finishers.
MARATHON QUEENS: Living legends Joan Benoit Samuelson and Grete Waitz will be joined by a future all-time great Deena Kastor at a special evening of conversation and question and answer open to the public on Thursday from 6:30-8 p.m. as part of the TimesTalk series at the New York Times building. For tickets and more information go to www.nytimes.whsites.net/talk/index.php or call 1-888-NYT-1870. Samuelson will be running Sunday on the 25th anniversary of her historic gold medal win at the first ever women's Olympic Marathon in 1984. Waitz is a winner of a record nine New York City Marathon titles. Kastor is the American marathon record holder and winner of both the London and Chicago marathons in her career.
LUCK OF THE IRISH: Runners will have the chance to enter to win an all-expenses-paid trip to the 29th Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon on May 3, 2010. NYC Marathoners can submit their entry for a chance to win at the expo at Booth 108, or online at www.belfastcitymarathon.. Two lucky winners will be notified on Nov. 9th 2009.
NEW MEDICAL DIRECTOR NAMED: Stuart Weiss, MD, FAAP, FACEP, CBCP has joined the ING New York City Marathon as the event's new medical director.
, replacing Louis Maharam, M.D., who resigned late last month. The New York Road Runners announced today that Dr. Weiss will lead a diverse team of volunteer, multi-disciplinary medical professionals from healthcare systems and hospitals across the region to provide immediate, high-quality medical services for the more than 40,000 runners. The NYRR also announced that for the first time, the American Red Cross of Greater New York will partner with New York Road Runners to provide more than 250 Red Cross volunteers and staff trained in first aid, who will support the activities of NYRR medical professionals at various sites along the marathon route. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our runners, and we strive to provide world-class medical services for a world-class event," commented NYRR president and CEO Mary Wittenberg through a media release.
Jim Gerweck is Editor-at-Large at Running Times magazine and organizes many area races.

Sibanye-Stillwater and DRDGOLD to create an industry-leading surface mining partnership
Receive up-to-date information about the company directly via push notification
Sibanye-Stillwater is pleased to announce that it has entered into various agreements with DRDGOLD Limited ("DRDGOLD") in terms of which, Sibanye-Stillwater will exchange selected surface gold processing assets and tailings storage facilities ("TSF") for c.265 million newly issued DRDGOLD shares ("the Transaction"). This will result in Sibanye-Stillwater holding 38% of the issued share capital of DRDGOLD, post the Transaction. At the current DRDGOLD share price of R4.96* this equates to c.R1.3 billion of crystallised value.
The Transaction includes the following assets:
- TSFs:
- Driefontein 3 and 5
- Kloof 1
- Venterspost North and South
- Libanon
- Active TSFs:
- Driefontein 4
- The land required for future development of:
- A Central Processing Plant("CPP")
- A Regional Tailings Storage Facility ("RTSF")and return water dam
- Surface gold processing plants:
- Driefontein 2 plant ("DP2")
- Driefontein 3 plant ("DP3")
- WRTRP pilot plant (for ongoing WRTRP gold recovery optimisation)
(together referred to as "the Selected Assets").
The following currently active TSFs will also be transferred, for no additional consideration, once they have been decommissioned by Sibanye-Stillwater:
- Driefontein 1 and 2
- Kloof 2
- Leeudoorn
The Selected Assets, with the addition of the currently active TSFs, have Probable gold Mineral Reserves of 3.82 million ounces and Probable uranium Mineral Reserves of 42.9 million pounds¹.
The Transaction excludes the Cooke uranium and gold assets which comprise: the Cooke TSF, Millsite TSF and the Cooke surface gold plant as well as the Ezulwini gold and uranium plant and associated Ezulwini 4 TSF. The Cooke and Ezulwini TSFs contain Probable gold Reserves of 2.401 million ounces and Probable uranium Reserves of 54.26 million pounds¹. Sibanye-Stillwater retains full ownership of these assets and the right to process and deposit this material onto the RTSF, subject to contributing their proportionate capital and operating costs. As such, Sibanye-Stillwater retains full exposure to a higher uranium price environment.
Sibanye-Stillwater and DRDGOLD have simultaneously entered into an option agreement in terms of which, Sibanye-Stillwater will have the option to subscribe for a sufficient number of DRDGOLD ordinary shares to attain a 50.1% shareholding in DRDGOLD (the "Option Shares") for up to 24 months post completion of the Transaction ("Option Period"). The option has to be exercised in whole, anytime within the Option Period. The subscription price for the Option Shares shall be at a 10% discount to the 30 day volume weighted average traded price ("VWAP") of DRDGOLD shares on the day prior to the date of exercise.
- Rationale for the Transaction
The Transaction allows Sibanye-Stillwater to immediately crystallise c.R1.3 billion in value from the Selected Assets, while partnering with DRDGOLD to further develop the WRTRP. Furthermore, this partnership presents an opportunity, in an exciting mining segment, to leverage off DRDGOLD's proven surface retreatment capabilities with the potential to capitalise on further growth opportunities both locally and abroad.
DRDGOLD has significant experience in TSF reclamation and has a proven track record of:
- Optimisation of innovative technology driven processing and
- Proven project management expertise for the execution and implementation of surface processing infrastructure development
Commenting on the Transaction, Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater, said: "We are excited about the inherent potential in the investment and look forward to partnering with DRDGOLD in growing an international, industry leading, surface retreatment business. Sibanye-Stillwater will realise immediate value for underutilised surface infrastructure and TSFs, while retaining upside to the West Rand Tailings Retreatment Project and future growth in DRDGOLD. Our stakeholders in the region also stand to benefit from the future development of this long life surface reclamation project".
- DRDGOLD and its strategy for the Selected Assets
DRDGOLD has a network of surface assets that is unrivalled in South Africa and is focused on optimising these assets in order to increase gold production and extend its operational life.
DRDGOLD intends developing the Selected Assets through a phased approach. The first phase ("Phase 1") will include upgrading the existing Driefontein 2 and 3 plants to process tailings from the high grade Driefontein 5 TSF. Phase 1 must be completed within 24 months after the closing of the Transaction while commissioning is expected to take 12 months and will include:
- Construction and upgrading of relevant pump stations and slurry pipelines and associated process water pump station and pipeline
- Upgrading of the Driefontein 2 and 3 plants from their name plate capacity of 315 000 tonnes per month ("tpm") to between 400 000 to 600 000 tpm for processing of higher tailings volumes
- Potential upgrading of the Driefontein 4 TSF for additional tailings storage capacity
- Refurbishment of conventional Carbon in Leach treatment plants (DP2&DP3)
Further evaluation of all the TSFs through the pilot plant located at DP3 within 24 months. The evaluation of each resource will include:
- Bulk samples to be trucked to DP3 plant for evaluation
- CIL, milling, flotation and concentrate leaching
- Blending of various resources to determine the optimal combination and ratio
Phase 1 is expected to be cash generative with minimal upfront capital investment required. These cash flows will be prioritised for the development of subsequent phases. Outputs from Phase 1 will enable DRDGOLD to refine the original WRTRP process and engineering design as well as financial and capital models for Phase 2.
Phase 2 will deliver a central, high-volume, CPP capable of processing at least 1 million tpm of tailings and development of a new RTSF including associated pipeline infrastructure, within an additional 24 month period.
- Conditions Precedent
The implementation of the Transaction is both subject to, and conditional on, the fulfilment of conditions precedent customary for a transaction of this nature including, inter alia:
- The approval of the Transaction and passing of such resolutions as may be required by DRDGOLD shareholders, which resolutions shall include a waiver of the obligation of Sibanye-Stillwater to make a mandatory offer to the remaining shareholders of DRDGOLD as per the regulations of the Companies Act regulations 2011
- All necessary approvals from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange
- The approval of the Transaction by the competition authorities of the Republic of South Africa, to the extent required
Sibanye-Stillwater and DRDGOLD have committed to engage the relevant authorities in order to fulfil the conditions precedent as soon as possible. The Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of the 2018 calendar year.
- Additional information:
This is a voluntary announcement by Sibanye-Stillwater as the Transaction falls below the 5% threshold of the categorisation of transactions in terms of the JSE Limited´s Listings Requirements ("Listing Requirements"). Should Sibanye-Stillwater subscribe for the Option Shares during the Option Period, Sibanye-Stillwater will determine the categorisation of exercising the option on that date in terms of the Listing Requirements.

Sept. 11, 2010
By Jon Cooper
Sting Daily
The summer of 2010 provided Matt Skole with the kinds of memories that are going to make great stories to tell his kids and grandkids someday.
There was his last-minute selection to a home run derby featuring the top college sluggers in the country, his runner-up finish in it, and his being the last hitter in a baseball landmark.
The junior third baseman's first opportunity to try out his storytelling to a group of kids — specifically Georgia Tech's freshmen and sophomores — as well as to his peers, began last week and will continue over the next three weeks, as the team conducts fall practice at Russ Chandler Stadium.
For those who can't get to the Rusty C to ask him or don't want to wait for his memoir or future generations, here's his memorable summer in a nutshell.
Skole, who was in the hole as the season-ending out was made in Tech's 10-8 loss to Alabama in the Atlanta Regional, was in Massachusetts playing with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod League, when he got a call seeking his participation in the inaugural TD AMERITRADE College Home Run Derby at Rosenblatt Stadium.
"It was a great event to be asked to attend," he said. "They flew me out from the Cape. I got to go to Rosenblatt, and hit in there. There were about 6,000, 7,000 people at the stadium. It was on national television. I met a lot of good guys and just had a lot of fun. I had a blast."
He also delivered a bunch of them. With Tech Assistant Coach Bryan Prince serving up pitches, and Major League Baseball Hall of Famers Andre Dawson and Mike Schmidt around to offer advice, Skole, led the group of eight after the first round. He ran out of gas in the second round, however, as East Tennessee State University first baseman Paul Hoilman pulled away to win. Coincidentally, Holiman's pitcher was Matt's uncle, Tony, the head coach at ETSU.
There were no hard feelings. Only hard-hit baseballs, as Matt not only hit some of the longest homers of the competition ("I don't know," he said with a laugh. "There wasn't a tape measure or anything, but there were some far ones hit. I got into a couple."), he also took the final swings at Rosenblatt Stadium, which was closing its doors after 62 years.
"It was super-special," he said. "They actually announced that I was the last hitter that will ever hit in Rosenblatt Stadium. So it was really special for me. I'd never been there and it was just a great atmosphere."
Skole is looking forward to a similarly great atmosphere at the fall practices, where there are plenty of youngsters and plenty of questions in regards to the 2011 team, after the 2010 squad saw a school-record 10 players drafted in Major League Baseball's June Draft.
How those questions are answered, and by whom, add intrigue to the practices.
"We've got a bunch of new guys," said Skole, a First-Team All-ACC selection in 2010 and the returning leader in homers (20) and RBIs (63). "It will be interesting to see how everybody comes out."
Although 17 lettermen return from last year's squad, Skole and second baseman Jacob Esch, are the only returning every day position players, while lefty Jed Bradley and righty Mark Pope are the only returnees from last year's rotation.
The fall will be a time for experimentation, with Skole is expecting to see time behind the plate, as the catcher position is wide open, following the drafting of Cole Leonida.
"Nobody has a set position right now," said Skole, who caught the only four games that Leonida didn't last season. "We're going to have to have guys play positions that they didn't play in high school. You have to experiment with guys.
"We're going to put some guys behind the plate, and we're going to have to put some guys in the outfield that probably aren't used to it," he continued. "But a month of practice in the fall and individuals working with coaches gives you time to get used to it. Any way they can contribute they need to work hard at it. Once spring comes around we'll know what's going on."
Skole also plans to work hard and contribute as a team leader. His goal is to follow the example set by past upperclassmen, like Tony Plagman, who Skole recalled took him under his wing during his freshman year.
"I got a lot out of every senior leader," he said. "Now I know what I need to do as a leader to help these young guys out.
"We lost a lot of good guys, a lot of leaders the guys followed the last few years," he said. "But I'm going to step up this year and be a leader on this team. That's what I need to do. I feel like the guys will follow me and get on board by working hard. If I can get all 45 guys working hard then we're going to have a great fall and a great spring."

One month after proposing a single-payer healthcare system in California, State Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, announced he will run for State Insurance Commissioner in 2018.
In the announcement, Lara, who represents the 33rd Senate District, said he wants to be the state's next "insurance watchdog" at a time when federal legislators are working to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
"I'm running to be California's next State Insurance Commissioner because I believe at my core that California needs a strong defender, and a counterpuncher, who will stand up to fight our bullying President, Donald Trump, and his increasingly reckless federal government on issues from healthcare access to economic security and more," he said in a statement.
The statewide elected office is tasked with protecting consumers, enforcing insurance regulations and safeguarding Californians' economic and health security. Current State Insurance Commissioner, Dave Jones, first elected in 2010, has said he will run for California Attorney General in 2018.
In his current role as state senator, Lara represents nearly 1 million people, roughly 70% of whom are Latino. His 33rd Senate District is located in the heart of the South Bay and stretches from Long Beach to Lynwood, and from Huntington Park to Lakewood and Los Angeles.

New survey results indicate that trademarks and trade secrets are the most important forms of intellectual property (IP) protection according to most businesses, followed by copyrights and patents.
The findings shed light on the importance businesses place on various types of IP protection for their companies. Specifically, during 2008, they reported whether utility patents, design patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and mask works–copyright protection for semiconductor– were "very important," "somewhat important," or "not important."

The Courage Polar Bear Dip for World Vision kicked off 2019 with a splash. Over 700 dippers raised $120,000 for clean water projects through World Vision Canada.
Thousands of brave thrill-seekers raised a toast to the New Year with a splash into the icy waters of Lake Ontario as they participated in the Courage Polar Bear Dip for World Vision, Canada's largest and longest running charity event.
Each dipper had his or her own reasons to be a part of the action taking place at Oakville's Coronation Park. Some came to start their New Year with a memorable feat, others for a dare, still more to cheer for their dipping friends and some turned up for the all-round entertainment. But all dippers charged into the near-freezing waters to celebrate a good cause – raise funds for World Vision's ongoing clean water projects in Iraq and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Now in its 34th year, the Courage Polar Bear Dip has so far raised $1.7 million for World Vision's clean water initiatives across the globe. Organizers set and achieved this year's target at $120,000, to be raised mainly through dip participation and support from the local business community.
With each passing year, the dip has only become more exciting and colourful. This time, encouraged by better weather conditions than the previous year, the event witnessed more first-time participants running into the waters than ever before. Some even came all the way from Jamaica and Africa to be part of the action.
Many of the 700 dippers were in impressive and elaborate costumes, while close to 5,000 spectators cheered them on.
Among the high-profile dippers today were the Courage brothers Todd and Trent, along with World Vision Canada President and CEO Michael Messenger and newly appointed COO Sumair Mirza. "What a great way to start a new year – with friends and family, doing something adventurous that makes you feel alive and at the same time, brings clean water to people who need it," said Michael Messenger, after completing his dip.
"The Polar Bear Dip is our way of demonstrating that all Canadians stand shoulder to shoulder with less fortunate communities across the world," said Todd Courage, one of the founders of the initiative. "The energy down at the Park is fantastic. Each year, families, friends and communities come together to give back to others in a gesture that truly signifies the true message of the season."
World Vision is the largest non-governmental provider of clean water in the developing world, providing a new person with clean water every 10 seconds. Since 2015, World Vision has provided access to clean water to more than 2.3 million people for consumption and sanitation. World Vision's clean water initiatives have helped save the lives of thousands of children from water-related diseases caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation and lack of hygiene.
Contributing to the positive energy of the event, the dip also featured live music entertainment, prize draws and welcomed local political leaders.

Finding a school was difficult. Making sure the offer was right, stressful. Signing your commitment should be the easy thing if you know what you are doing.
So you are good enough to be recruited and receive a scholarship, now you have to sign your National Letter of Intent (NLI) but have no idea what you should be expecting or you are reading. Don't stress, you are not the first one to be in this spot.
Finding a school was difficult. Making sure the offer was right, stressful. Signing your commitment should be the easy thing if you know what you are doing. The NLI is just the first step towards becoming a Collegiate student-athlete. Make sure you are starting with the right foot by knowing everything there is to know about the NLI.
NLI is the agreement between the student-athlete and the institution he/she will attend. In this agreement:
- The student-athlete is committed to study full-time and compete in the university that issues the NLI during a full academic year (two semesters or three semesters)
- The university is committed to providing a sports scholarship to the student-athlete during a full academic year (two semesters or three semesters).
Student-Athletes by signing the NLI cannot be part of any other school athletics without going through a transfer process and are guaranteeing at least a year of participation to the institution.
Moreover, it is important to know that while an NLI is almost the end of the process, there are still requirements that could void the document. These are:
- Admissions Requirement: If the institution does not grant the student-athlete with admission.
- Eligibility Requirements: If the student-athlete is not granted a clear eligibility status by the NCAA Eligibility Center.
- OneYear Absence: If the student-athlete does not participate within this one-year period. Exceptions to this rule are, mandatory military service, church missions and US Army service.
- Discontinued Sport: If the institution named in the document discontinues the sport.
Most student-athletes and their family confuse verbal commitment and the NLI. While a verbal commitment can be offered and accepted any time within the year, the NLI is only signed in the following dates:
Is important to understand that by signing this NLI you are not being guaranteed anything other than what it states in writing. If by any chance the coach mentioned something that is not in writing, make sure he fixes that. Also, this document can not guarantee you a spot on the team. While it is likely this will happen, your performance will be the determining factor for playing time.
Finally, keep in mind the struggle and all the work it has taken you to get to this point. Signing the NLI is the easy part. Just be ready to fulfill the end of your bargain. You are now a student-athlete that needs to prove it's worth.

Fertility is of much concern to a woman as any woman would like to be a mother and enjoy the pleasures of motherhood. Infertility can be disturbing and it is important for a woman to retain her fertility at any cost. Motherhood is a blissful feeling to be cherished in one's lifetime. Yet, a woman has to be careful about issues that do affect one's fertility such as:
It is no doubt a myth that a woman cannot bear a child if she is breastfeeding but certainly it makes it difficult to conceive. Ovulation gets affected. One should not use this as birth control method as fertility does get affected. Older women who are keen to have another child, on account of their age, must discuss with their doctor how long they must breastfeed. Preferably, one must wait for about a year and a half before having another child.
Too much exercise affects ovulation. Normal weight women who exercise vigorously find it difficult to become pregnant. One must perform an exercise in a balanced way and not overdo it. Anything in excess is never considered good for health. Moderate exercise as per medical advice must be adhered to.
The moment one stops various forms of hormonal birth control, one can get pregnant within a month. Women take injections for birth control and this is not recommended by doctors in case a woman wants to get pregnant. She must stop it much in advance.
Thyroid disorders can indeed contribute to ovulation and pregnancy issues as an over or underactive thyroid can affect conceiving. One must seek professional advice.
Certain health issues such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids do affect a woman's chances of getting pregnant or even successfully carrying a pregnancy to its respective term. Women with autoimmune disorders such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis do find it difficult to conceive, as their bodies may tend to reject a fertilized egg or even attack her partner's sperm. But in many cases, women have had healthy babies despite these health issues. One should work with a medical team in order to manage and improve the symptoms. They must seek required help for their fertility issues for positive results in pregnancy matters. In this manner, one can successfully conceive.
Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea can indeed cause pelvic inflammatory disease and also lead up to fertility problems, even years after women have contracted them. In fact, chlamydia can do cause much damage to the fallopian tubes without showing any symptoms. Women may not be aware that this health issue can affect pregnancy.
One must take note of the fact that vaginal infections such as yeast infections do not have the effect on fertility.
Women who suffer from stress-related enzyme do find it difficult to get pregnant. Stress on its own does not affect fertility. One must follow a stress management program. Seek proper advice on this matter.
Perceived stress can alter hormone levels as well as ovulation. Excessive stress is not good.
Fertility is indeed a sensitive issue as far as a woman is concerned and to be a mother she has to be careful that her fertility rate does not get affected. Appropriate medical advice does help and required precautions must be taken in order to preserve one's fertility.

CBD for animals: how to use it, where to buy it?
CBD is a molecule without psychotropic effects, which has demonstrated, according to several scientific studies , its relaxing and anti-inflammatory effects.
Cannabidiol has been used as an adjuvant in various pathologies, included those affecting domestic animals, a field of application of CBD which is generating growing interest.
Where can one buy CBD for domestic animals?
On the market one can find many products dedicated to our four-legged friends, Enecta has designed a specific product "CBD Oil for Pets", 10 ml of product with 500 mg CBD; what does it contain? Olive oil, omega 3 and tocopherol.
Why did we choose Olive Oil?
We chose to use olive oil and not hemp oil to render the consumption more palatable and natural for the animals.
Omega 3 are included subsequently, by adding a preparation of plant origin, specifically made for animals.
Why the addition of Omega 3?
The endocannabinoid system of animals is very similar to that of human beings.
Omega 3, besides the benefits on the cardiovascular system, are recommended by veterinarians for the benefits they have at skin and fur level.
The signs of health problems in fact are manifested by a bad state of the fur, which makes the animal sensible to itching, allergies, infections and irritations.
What is the purpose of the endocannabinoid system?
The endocannabinoid system is involved both in the control of appetite and in many other physiological functions correlated with stress response and the maintenance of homeostasis.
The endocannabinoid system is involved in the modulation of the immune, anti-inflammatory, endocrine responses and exerts an anti-proliferative action as well.
Endocannabinoids have neuro-protectant properties, are able to regulate motor and memory activities; they significantly affect the cardiovascular and respiratory systems as well, controlling the heart rate, reducing the arterial pressure and favouring bronchial dilatation.
The organism has a true endocannabinoid system, which deals with synthesizing and demolishing these compounds.
Contrary to traditional hormones and neurotransmitters, stored in secretory vesicles up to the time of release, endocannabinoids are synthesized and released on the spot and degraded immediately after their action.
This means the endocannabinoid system acts on request, exerting its actions only where and when necessary.

Massage Therapy: For Wrinkles or Knots, or Both?
by Amanda Corney
While most people don't get massages to prevent wrinkles, massage is a way to keep the body tissues supple, detoxed, and turning over for new growth. Massage not only relaxes muscle restrictions, it increases blood circulation, stimulates cellular renewal, eliminates wastes that would otherwise remain in the body longer, and both calms and energizes stressed tissue. These are all things that keep skin young!
In addition to these benefits, massage also provides greater joint flexibility and range of motion, improves circulation of blood and movement of lymph fluids, strengthens the immune system, and reduces levels of anxiety. So the next time you have a knot and you book a massage, know that you have invested in a fountain of youth that stimulates the body to renew itself and stay younger and healthy longer.
The Rec Center employs two certified massage therapists who provide massage services throughout the week. Opt for either a Swedish or deep tissue massage, and feel free to jazz it up by adding hot stones, aromatherapy, or both! Call early to schedule an appointment, as we book up quickly during exam time!

This was two very different weeks of shots one was done on a cold and cloudy walk along a beach and the other was when the rain started to go over at my local woods.
This was done on a long walk and day where fly in as well.I walked from Whitstable to Harn Bay. The only thing was that the wind picked right up and then died out so rain could take its place instead.
the one cool thing about these beaches have some really cool coloured beach huts and I think they just stand out.
I do have to say seeing some of these huts in this overcast weather just looks amazing.
5 Arches(2018-04-14)
I chose here as there are some amazing spots to shoot but also to show what it looks like in spring than winter. I love how some of these have come out and the way the rive is moving down the stream and there is something about the water that just looks amazing and surreal.
These ones below are just some of the photos from the rest of the shoot. I did at this amazing spot.
I do love doing this landscape shoot per week as it gives me a chance to see different places in a different light, this does include some places I go to alot.
I hope you like them as some will be on sale soon.

Halloween has come and gone, which means one thing – Christmas is just around the corner. Whether you are ready or not, been good or bad, there are presents to buy, pantries to stock, plans to make and wine to drink! Is it possible to be ready for battle with the best tips and a kick ass attitude to not just get through Christmas, but for 2019 to smash it out of the park? Here are my 2019 Christmas Survival Tips!
Shop online
The easiest way to take the stress out of Christmas is to shop online. From your grocery shop to Christmas gifts, order online and either get it delivered or click and collect. Take advantage of the upcoming Black Friday (Friday 29th November) and Cyber Monday sales to do your Christmas shopping! Retailers such as Catch, JB Hi-Fi, Good Guys, Sephora, Amazon, Kogan & Bonds have great Black Friday sales. Check out other Australian retailers here. Stay tuned for more Black Friday sales info!!
Make your list and check it twice
2019 Christmas Survival starts and ends with your Christmas list! Take my top tip and start your list early and take it wherever you go! Tick off those purchased gifts and wrap them as you buy them. This will save you tonnes of stress on Christmas Eve. Download my Christmas List to give yourself a head start!
Get the presents out of the way early
Don't let the last few gifts linger on, get them all out of the way! Some years I have found that I started off really well, then proceeded to leave the rest of my Christmas gift shopping to the last minute. When you have kids or are entertaining at your place, this is a recipe for disaster. Tackle the gifts first!
Christmas Menu
Hosting Christmas at your place can be daunting! I find that planning the menu ahead of time and making the shopping list, eases the stress.
An Aussie Christmas Menu
Brushetta and antipasto platters are easy to prepare and are a crowd pleaser. Combined with a champagne cocktail or punch, and everyone will be in a very festive mood!! Other ideas could be a selection of seafood before the main meal or a hearty salad chock full of buffalo mozzarella, smoked ham, cos lettuce and tomatoes. Yum!!!
Baked ham and turkey are always on the menu here. Sometimes we have done a BBQ and added fresh seafood such as prawns and crab. Salads and roast vegetables are added to the menu as well.
I always serve a Pavlova, Christmas pudding with Custard, Ice cream and Gingerbread cookies. I bake the pavlova and gingerbread ahead of time. The pavlova is topped with cream and delicious berries. For our dairy free guests, the pavlova omits the cream but has a berry coulis and berries. Another idea is an ice cream cake, I love Gelato Messina's ice cream cakes especially the bombe Alaska!
Prep ahead of time
2019 Christmas Survival really comes down to being ahead of the game, organised and prepping whatever you can ahead of time! Have your recipes, menu, lists ready to go! Attack Christmas 2019 head on and you will find that it will be one of the easiest and most enjoyable Christmases you have ever had!!
Eat, drink and be Merry!
When you feel overwhelmed, remember that you are planning Christmas 2019 for your loved ones. They don't care if the turkey is overcooked, you forgot the sauce or that the decorations are non-existent! They want to spend time with you, make it as easy as you can for yourself so that you can soak up your family and friends and enjoy the holidays!

2018 Business Women of the Year
On November 2nd, women (and some men, too!) from our community came together at BW NICE's Red Shoe Event Luncheon and Fashion Show to raise awareness for domestic abuse and celebrate women in our county who are making a difference in the lives of others.
During this event, one businesswoman from our area, nominated by her peers, was given the Businesswoman of the Year award. This year's award went to the President and CEO of Big Apple Beauty Supply, Inc., BABSHair.com, and LadyD's Hats & Fascinators, Donna Heath-Gonzalez.
Donna is a mother, grandmother, and avid supporter of her community who believes in the importance of "paying it forward." Not only does Donna give tirelessly to her family, she also supports various women's organizations in our community and the American Cancer Society. She even donates countless turkeys and desserts for Thanksgiving meals. We had a chance to learn more about Donna to see just how this busy woman does it all.
Q. Tell us about yourself and how you started your career.
A. I am originally from the beautiful island of Jamaica. I have two sons and one grandson. I am a graduate of Baruch College in New York City with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. I moved to the Poconos twelve years ago and was commuting to New Jersey for work. I knew it was a sacrifice, so I decided to invest that same time and effort in pursuing my entrepreneurial dream. Realizing my passion would also fuel my purpose in an industry that would meet the needs of women and their families. I did some research because I knew how important hair, beauty, and self-expressions were for women, especially those experiencing hair challenges due to medical reasons. With that being said, Big Apple Beauty Supply was birthed.
Q. When did you establish BABS and how has it grown?
A. Big Apple Beauty Supply was established in June 2008 in East Stroudsburg, PA. We opened a second location in October 2013 in Scranton, PA, and I launched my online store
BABSHair.com in May 2017.
Q. How were you able to manage raising a family and running a business?
A. When I started my business, both of my sons were already in junior high and high school, so it was much easier for me to transition from working in Corporate America to becoming an entrepreneur.
Q. What piece of advice would you give other women working towards success of their own?
A. My advice to women who are working towards success is for them to identify their passion, because your purpose corresponds with your passion. Once they realize that concept, working towards success seems more attainable, because they are passionately driven to pursue the journey towards success. While they are on the journey towards success, they must also realize that success comes with sacrifice, so be prepared to be persistent.
Q. Businesswoman of the Year is a huge accomplishment. What does winning this award mean to you?
A. Winning the Businesswoman of the Year Award is truly an honor and a huge accomplishment for me. It means that if I can perceive it, I can achieve it. It reminds me that I've kept my promises that I will be an entrepreneur who cares about and gives back to my community.
Q. You are very involved in the community and strive to give back. What are some of the causes you are most passionate about?
A. I am very passionate about the well-being of our children, education, hunger, women's issues, and the elderly. I work on community events to support each of these causes, including an annual back-to-school supplies giveaway, a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway, Winter Coats for Kids, and providing toiletries for men and women in halfway houses and shelters. This Christmas, I will be giving robes to the elderly in nursing homes, and next spring I will be helping to provide prom attire for high school seniors
Q. You recently established a scholarship fund. What led to the establishment of this fund?
A. As I said before, I am very passionate about the well-being of our children and education. As a mother of two sons, I know how challenging the cost of education can be. I strongly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve an education. I also believe that assisting one child with a textbook will make a difference in that child's life, future, community, and the world.
Q. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
A. I normally have a long work day between my East Stroudsburg, Scranton, and online stores, so getting some well needed rest and catching up with family and friends is very relaxing for me.

Commemorative equestrian statue to Field Marshal Earl Haig. 1936. By Alfred Hardiman, sculptor. The base was designed by S. Rowland Pierce, architect.
Reasons for Designation
The Statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig is listed at Grade II* for the following principal reasons: * Historic interest: Haig, commander-in-chief of British forces on the Western Front from 1915-18, remains a disputed military figure, given the huge losses endured under his command, but there is no question as to his historical importance; * Sculptural interest: Hardiman's sculpture, controversial in its day, can now be seen as a powerful example of inter-war classical statuary which strove to reconcile traditional modes of military commemoration with a contemporary idiom. Strongly rhythmic in outline, the stylized horse contrasts with the closely observed portrait of Haig, and is among the last equestrian statues of a military commander to be erected; * Group value: prominently located outside Dover House and close to Old War Office, this memorial is one of a sequence of equestrian statues along one of London's principal routes, leading towards the Cenotaph, Horse Guards, and the heart of government.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin suggested erecting a monument to Haig soon after the latter's unexpected death in early 1928. A limited competition in 1929 was won by Hardiman, but controversy soon arose over the stylized character of the mount: Haig's widow sought a more naturalistic horse, but Hardiman was supported by George Lansbury, First Commissioner of Works under Ramsay Macdonald, in keeping to his original conception. The memorial was eventually unveiled by the Duke of Gloucester on 10 November 1937.
Douglas Haig (1861-1928), the son of an Edinburgh distiller, rose rapidly as a staff officer to become commander of the First Army in 1914 and was chosen to replace Sir John French as C-in-C in mid-1915. Responsible for leading the British and Empire forces on the Western Front for three years of costly attritional warfare, including the battles of the Somme, Arras and 3rd Ypres, Haig's reputation remains disputed. However, under his leadership, these forces (the largest ever commanded by a British general) developed ultimately winning ways of fighting the war and he retained the full confidence of the Army (if not of politicians). Haig's post-war reputation was enhanced by his support for the welfare of ex-servicemen, particularly wounded ones. He was created Earl Haig in 1919, and received a large award enabling him to purchase the estate of Bemersyde in the Borders. Haig, a former cavalry officer, may have died from injuries sustained while hunting. Another equestrian statue to Haig was erected at Edinburgh Castle in 1923.
Alfred Hardiman RA (1891-1949) came from a London family of silversmiths. He trained at the Royal College of Art, the Royal Academy and the British School at Rome, having won the 1920 Rome Scholarship, and was strongly influenced by classical sculpture of a severe archaic character. He was responsible for monumental architectural sculpture on the exterior of London's County Hall and won the 1929 competition for a statue of Haig. He incurred considerable costs in making repeated adjustments to the Haig statue, and an additional payment of £2000 was eventually made by the Treasury to avert his financial ruin. Haig's widow had pronounced views on the depiction of her husband, and traditional views took exception to aspects of the sculpture (such as the stylized horse, and Haig's bare-headed depiction). Other prominent works by him included the heraldic lions at Norwich Town Hall.
The monument is in the guardianship of English Heritage.
MATERIALS: bronze equestrian statue on a pedestal of Portland stone.
DESCRIPTION: Haig, hatless and wearing an open greatcoat over his uniform, holds a scroll in his right hand. He is seated upon a powerful horse, its hind legs in parallel and its left foreleg raised; the horse's neck is arched, with its head drawn in on a short rein. The statue stands on a rising bronze base, with anthemion decoration to the front. Signed 'Alfred Hardiman 1936' to the front. The pedestal, rounded to the north end, is inscribed on the front FIELD MARSHAL / EARL HAIG, / COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF / OF THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE / 1915-1918 beneath a cartouche bearing the Haig arms, surrounded by the Order of the Thistle and surmounted with a coronet . On the rear (north) end is the inscription ERECTED BY PARLIAMENT.

Holiday Planning
As we approach Christmas and the New Year, a few planning items can make tax season feel a little better.
Firstly, do your charity donations before December 31, 2016. This way you get the tax savings as part of your 2016 tax filings.
Buy RRSP's up to your contribution limits at all times if your income is over $45,283. Work with the government refunds to create more wealth.The deadline for this is March 1, 2017 for 2016. Time to get proactive and contribute. Those with work pensions will have less RRSP room, but it is still good to contribute.
Do your TFSA contribution early in the year. Thus, on January 1, 2017 an additional $5,500 per person can be contributed to the account. Please note that the maximum limit currently is $46,500 (for residents that have been in Canada continuously since 2009 and 18 years of age) and another $5,500 will commence Jan 1, 2017.
If you have lots of medicals this year, then maybe prepay your travel insurance to get the writeoff this year. Eligible medical costs are based on an as paid basis. So for those that do payment plans for braces and other non cosmetic procedures, this may not be good as you would be losing some of the write off this year. Also, the 3% personal medical exemption would be deducted twice if you straddle your payments over two year. So payment plans are nice, but that could cost you with the tax man.
As always, have a current Will with Power of Attorneys' for property and health care. These will provide some peace of mind having them in place. For those of you with disabled children then a Will with a Henson Trust is extra important. Call me if you need details and I can recommend law firms that prepare these documents.
Buy your life insurance policy before Jan 1, 2017 as new rules are coming for those that want to over contribute into the policies. Lastly, make sure you have life insurance, critical illness, and disability insurance for those unexpected things in life. Time to get these in place for those that are procrastinating. Also, mortgage insurance is expensive term insurance and not normally recommended as it is better to get a proper term 10, 20 or UL policy.
So have a prosperous and great Holiday Season!

A recent CRA conviction.
Ottawa, Ontario, October 19, 2016… The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced today that, on October 17, 2016, Tania Kovaluk was sentenced in the Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa to 1,825 days (5 years) in jail for deliberately choosing not to pay a court-imposed fine for criminal tax evasion. On November 20, 2012, Kovaluk pleaded guilty to multiple counts related to income tax and GST evasion, and counseling others to participate in the Paradigm Education Group (Paradigm) tax protestor scheme which "educated" people on how to structure their affairs in a way to illegally avoid taxes She was sentenced to two years and five months in jail, and was fined $887,328, which was payable in full by June 30, 2014. Since she was released from jail she has made no attempt to pay her court-imposed fine.
Kovaluk, a dentist, knowingly failed to report $2,578,987 in income she earned from 2003 to 2007, thereby evading $721,617 in federal taxes. She promoted the Paradigm scheme through seminars held in Ottawa and Toronto, and counseled others to join the Paradigm program, including nine employees working at Kovaluk's dental practice in Ontario. In addition to spending large amounts of money on personal luxury items such as art, jewelry, vacations, a home in Ottawa, and personal home furnishings, Kovaluk invested her money in offshore assets, including two villas in Costa Rica. Kovaluk transferred her ownership of these villas to third parties for no consideration, with the intention of avoiding payment of her court-imposed fine.
The preceding information was obtained from the court records.
"Tax evasion takes money away from the services that benefit all Canadians," said Vince Pranjivan, Assistant Commissioner of the Ontario Region. "The CRA takes action against those who try to avoid paying what they owe."
The Canada Revenue Agency warns all Canadians to beware of "tax protesters" who try to convince you that Canadians do not have to pay tax on the income they earn. Canadian courts have repeatedly and consistently rejected arguments made in these tax protester schemes. For those involved in tax protester schemes, the CRA will reassess income tax and interest, and charge penalties. In addition, if convicted of tax evasion, the court may fine them up to 200% of the tax evaded and sentence them for up to a five-year jail term. More information on tax protester schemes is available at www.cra.gc.ca/alert.
If you have ever made a tax mistake or omission, the CRA is offering you a second chance to make things right through its Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP). If you make a valid disclosure before you become aware that the CRA is taking action against you, you may only have to pay the taxes owing plus interest. More information on the VDP can be found on the CRA's website at www.cra.gc.ca/voluntarydisclosures.
Also, you can contact Peter Wiesner CPA, CA to assist in making the appropriate filings with the government.

Adoption of 'vanishing spray' for referees during Serie A and B games is confirmed for this season.
"It was ratified, so we will begin adopting this new technology," announced Lega Serie A President Maurizio Beretta.
However, it might look different to the can of foam used by referees during the World Cup in Brazil.
"We discussed some logistical aspects, because it's obvious these cans can't be carried by referees like hand luggage.
"Now we need to ensure they are available in the stadiums, at the least working on provisions and logistics, but these are problems that can be easily dealt with."
At the World Cup, referees carried the spray in a holster around their waists, using it to ensure players respected the correct distance on free kicks.
The spray is also expected to be used in the Champions League this term.
Watch Serie A live in the UK on Premier Sports for just £9.99 per month including live LaLiga, Eredivisie, Scottish Cup Football and more. Visit: https://www.premiersports.com/subscribenow

MIMO broadcast channels with Gaussian CSIT and application to location based CSIT
ITA 2014, Information Theory and Applications Workshop, 9-14 February 2014, San Diego, CA, USA
Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT), which is crucial in multi-user systems, is always imperfect in practice. In this paper we focus on the optimization of beamformers for the expected weighted sum rate (EWSR) in the MIMO Broadcast Channel (BC) (multi-user MIMO downlink). We first review some beamformer (BF) designs for the perfect CSIT case, such as Weighted Sum MSE (WSMSE) and we introduce the Weighted Sum SINR (WSSINR) point of view, an optimal form of the Signal to Leakage plus Noise Ratio (SLNR) or Signal to Jamming plus Noise Ratio (SJNR) approaches. The discussion then turns to mean and covariance Gaussian CSIT. We review an exact Monte Carlo based approach and a variety of approximate techniques and bounds that all reduce to problems of the (deterministic) form of perfect CSIT. Other simplified exact solutions can be obtained through massive MIMO asymptotics, or the more precise large MIMO asymptotics. Whereas in the perfect CSI case, all reviewed approaches are equivalent, they differ in the partial CSIT case. In particular the expected WSSINR approach is significantly better than expected WSMSE, with large MIMO asymptotics introducing some further tweaking weights that yield a deterministic approach that becomes exact when the number of antennas increases. The complexity and relative performance of the in the end many possible approaches and approximations are then compared.
