Through improved productivity, the Queensland economy can continue to grow and strengthen.
We provide professional advice on specific areas of interest to the Queensland State Government on productivity matters.
The Office of Best Practice Regulation is a key part of the Queensland Government's strategy to eliminate unnecessary regulation by 20% by 2018.
Along with our more public role, in setting regulated electricity prices, we administer and enforce the Electricity Industry Code – the framework for the functioning of Queensland's retail market.
We regulate access to support competition by enabling third parties to access essential infrastructure that cannot be economically duplicated, including below-rail (track) infrastructure.
Water is an essential resource which requires careful management and regulation.
We are the economic regulator of water and wastewater services for Queensland.
To help Queensland aquaculture realise its potential, the Queensland Government has asked us to investigate regulations that affect the industry.
Queensland has the potential to develop a diverse, vibrant aquaculture industry. However, new entrants are rare, and new expansions happen at a sluggish pace.
We are investigating the role that regulation is playing in the lack of development in the industry. We will recommend how regulation can allow aquaculture in Queensland to expand better – while protecting the environment at the same time.

Amandayan Opens in China, Playa Grande in Dominican Republic Is Next
We may have been off the mark thinking Aman Tokyo wouldn't make a 2014 opening (it did), but our guess that Aman Resorts was not far off from adding a third hotel in China turned out to pretty accurate: Amandayan, in Lijiang, and Aman number 28, is now open.
Equally, that photo we dug out from the depths of the internet back in October was indeed from inside the all-suite resort. With a total of 35 suites, that's a few more than the 32 we talked about at the time, but still a very small affair.
'Dayan' (lower case in the end in the resort's name) is the historic name of Lijiang, established in the 13th century by the Southern Song dynasty. The old town of Lijiang, which Amandayan overlooks (see a photo below), is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is in the Yunnan province, which puts it in far southwestern China, towards the border with Myanmar.

Aman Resorts Gives a Green Upgrade to Amanpulo
So you've checked out the brand new Aman Tokyo and are in need of some tropical island R&R after the metropolitan overload that is the Japanese capital. Where do you go? Head south to the Sulu Sea in the Philippines and you will find sister resort Amanpulo, which offers that mix of blinding white beach-azure blue sea that makes us want to crawl through our laptop screen in the depth of January, but now also has a bunch of new things to check out.
The 42 casitas on the island have gotten a makeover, bringing in new bathrooms (a shot of those below), natural timber ceilings with ceiling fans, new environmentally-friendly recycled polymer roof shingles, and new lighting resulting in four times more light at a 25% reduction in energy consumption. Repairs to the reef on the Eastern side of the island's lagoon will encourage coral growth and improve the marine life's habitat.

The Hotel Bora Bora Might Be Resurrected Again Soon
We'll probably get coal in our stocking for this latest hotel rumor but Santa Claus already has us on the naughty list, so here it goes:
We got this cryptic email in our inbox a few weeks ago that said:
A Very wealthy Russian is in process of buying a number of Aman Hotels, including the renowned Hotel Bora Bora on the island of Bora Bora which was closed completely some 5 years ago. With plans to completely renovate or re-build.
(The emailer also wrote "Arman Hotels" but we've taken the liberty of correcting it to Aman, since surely that's what they were talking about.)
This is interesting because Aman Resorts, a collection of stunning luxury retreats, has been the victim of a nasty business dispute, and subsequent lawsuits in the UK and the US, between Russian billionaire Vladislov Doronin, and troubled financier Omar Amanat, who purchased the hotel brand together during a happier time.

First Photos of Aman Tokyo, Opening December 22
We were wrong. After a number of delays, and our own gazing up to the top six stories of Otemachi Tower without being able to step inside, we thought Aman Tokyo wouldn't open this year.
It is. On Monday, December 22, the first city Aman will be here
It is. On Monday, December 22, the first city Aman will be here, and we have some truly luscious photos for you to drool over too. If ever you've had a fantasy of staying in a hyper-modern, minimalist penthouse in the sky, floating above the city, start scouting for tickets to Tokyo now (we were just there and confess to doing a quick fare search already). Here's what else you need to know: Aman Tokyo is the beginning of a new chapter for Aman, with discussions in progress for "city retreats" in New York, London, Paris, and Singapore.
The photo above is of the soaring atrium, up thirty-plus stories from the city's business district. Nearly 30 meters high, it's been designed to resemble the interior of a Japanese paper lantern. For a sense of scale, spot one of the chairs next to the pillars on the far left. We love the deep grey stone, the wood (Camphor wood, so we've learned), and the simplicity of the furniture design.

AmanDayan in Lijiang, China Is Hiring, Could this Be What it Looks Like?
While Venice and Vietnam got their Aman Resort in 2013, the openings we so optimistically wrote about for China and Jordan never materialized. Another year on, and we're still waiting, but just like that we stumbled onto two things for one of them: a recruitment ad and an interior image.
This page has the ad for an Executive Assistant Manager (Rooms) at AmanDayan, the 32-suite resort on Lion Hill in the ancient city of Lijiang, in China's Yunnan province. While the ad refers to it without the capital letter, we were explicitly told at the time that AmanDayan is how it should be spelled. We're going to liberally take the closing date of mid-November as a sign that the resort is nearing completion, so perhaps we'll see an early 2015 opening?
Diving a bit further down the rabbit hole that is the internet, we came upon the above photo here, in a post now about a year old. While we'd take it with a grain of salt, the design does strike us as being very Aman, so who knows. We're hoping to get some more detail soon, so stay tuned.
Meanwhile, further east in Japan, we wouldn't hold our breath for a 2014 opening of Aman Tokyo either – expect that to be a 2015 affair too. When we have more detail, we'll be sure to let you know.

Will Aman Tokyo Make a September Opening as the First City Aman?
Aman Resorts might be known for its luxury resorts in exotic locations, but the hotel group should be branching out to its first true city hotel this year, after dipping its toe in the somewhat urban water – quite literally as it were – in Venice.
And where better to take the next step than Tokyo, a metropolis if there ever was one? We had hoped Aman Tokyo would have been open by the time we were in Japan, but pre-summer became post-summer as it tends to do for hotel openings, with the latest we've heard being sometime in September. We did walk over to The Otemachi Tower complex that the hotel will be part of to get a sense of its setting, so read on for a first impression.

A Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, Raffles, Fairmont, Aman and More Go To Portugal...
Usually major metropolitan areas are where you'll find every hotel brand under the sun close together, but in a few years' time there might be a very unlikely contender for having one of the largest concentrations of different hotel brands in the world: a master development in Portugal, roughly 50 miles south of capital Lisbon.
If one day a reality, we couldn't name anywhere else that boast hotels from Hilton, Marriott, Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, Raffles, Fairmont, Aman, and Six Senses, all cosily together on the peninsula across the water from Setúbal and further down the Alentejo coastline – yet that is what the above map calls for.

Aman Resorts Goes Once to the Dominican Republic, Six Times to Gabon
Amanyara, Turks & Caicos
We might have only gotten two out of four hoped-for openings from Aman Resorts last year (that would be Aman Canal Grande in Venice and Amano'i in Vietnam), but despite the wait for Lijiang (China) and Jordan, we'll continue to keep an eye out for anywhere else Aman might be popping up in the (near) future.
One likely destination is the Dominican Republic, which would make it the second Aman in the Caribbean, next to Amanyara in the Turks & Caicos. Rather than the popular eastern region of Punta Cana, the hotel will be part of the Playa Grande development on the northern coast, east of Puerto Plata and kitesurfer's paradise Cabarete.

Aman Goes To Oman, Regent To Montenegro, and Other Hotel News
The Regent Montenegro
There's tons of hotel news flying around at the moment, so we have another roundup of news bites for you today to get you up to speed on the latest from Oman to Cambodia and China to Argentina.
Starting with the Arab sultanate of Oman, its newspaper Muscat Daily (Muscat is the capital) reports that the country will have the first Aman Resort in the Middle East, in the remote coastal town of Shuwaimiya. The developer of the eco-resort has confirmed Aman Resorts will open, with the hotel group so far taking a confirm-nor-deny approach. Whether or not it will be the first in the Middle East remains to be seen, based on what we hear about an opening in Jordan.

Amano'i at Vinh Hy Bay Vietnam Will Open In September
By the end of the summer, Aman Resorts will be crossing off another hotel opening of its to-do list for this year: Amano'i, its brand new resort on scenic Vinh Hy Bay in Vietnam will have the first lucky guests jumping in that gorgee-ous infinity pool on September 1.
Combining the usual Aman (Sanskrit for 'peace') and no'i ('place' in Vietnamese), Amano'i sits on the coast northeast of Ho Chi Minh City. There are just 31 pavilions and five villas, with arrival happening at a central pavilion on the hilltop, offering in-your-face views of the coastline.

A Night at the Original Aman Resort, The Amanpuri in Phuket
We've shown that you get whisked around Amanpuri in open-air comfort, but what is it like to spend the night here, the original Aman Resort on the western coast of Phuket? This is a case of letting the pictures doing most of the talking, but there are definitely a few things that stood for us.
You'll find Amanpuri on Pansea Beach, a thirty-minute drive from Phuket airport, which in turn is just under two hours flight from Bangkok, the Thai capital. Architecturally, this has to be one of the most impressive resorts we've stayed at recently. Forty individual pavilions are scattered across a hillside, tumbling down to the Andaman Sea. The driveway swoops down to the open air lobby, just beyond is a long midnight-blue tiled swimming pool, and wide steps take you down to the white powdery beach. The timelessness of it all (Amanpuri was constructed in 1988), is really refreshing in an age where we see lots of hotel design that wears out within a matter of years.

Breezing Around Amanpuri With The Wind In Your Hair
The hotel bike might be the ubiquitous amenity these days for tooling around town or the resort grounds, but in certain climates – and hilly terrains – a less strenuous alternative might be preferable.
We came across the perfect solution recently at Amanpuri – the original Aman Resort – in blisteringly hot Phuket, where getting around is both a breeze and breezy, courtesy of a fleet of semi-open buggies fashioned out of ripped up Nissans. Available any time at the main entrance or just a call away, you can be whisked to your room, back to the lobby and the main pool, down to the beach club, up to the spa, or to the top-of-the-hill gym with endless views over the surrounding area.

Re: Can You Buy Safety?
I would agree on that but most sailors see stink pots as a conveyance between service stations. Mount the big speaker system to take away all the peace and quiet and you have a hearing hazard...
The reality of Homeland Security (first brought up by Clinton) is that under Bush the 4 out of 10 first hired were not able to later clear screening because of past criminal back grounds.
Sailboats in this area of San Francisco have reported that the CG/homeland security only want to look at their heads or how it is they discharged. Fines can exceed the worth of the boat depending on how it is plumbed.
In my opinion it's not so much about safety as revenue stream to maintain all those craft they bought in the post 9/11 splurge. Homeland security not only changed the directive of the Coasties but has both feet in flood insurance (FEMA) and other BIG agencies that have little to do with boating.
Of course this thread is on the subject of 'safety' unless you count PTSD of being boarded, or your flood insurance suddenly becomes mandatory and they charge you 2300 a year extra on your mortgage insurance.
My two bits centers on alcohol culture that has thrown up all over boating culture.
"Drowning appears to be the overwhelming cause of death associated with recreational aquatic activity with alcohol detected in the blood in 30%–70% of persons who drown while involved in this activity. The few relevant studies on degree of increased risk suggest persons with a blood alcohol level of 0.10 g/100 ml have about 10 times the risk of death associated with recreational boating compared with persons who have not been drinking, but that even small amounts of alcohol can increase this risk. The population attributable risk seems to be in the range of about 10%–30%. (from the National Library of Medicine and National Institute of Health).
The problem has been noted by eye witness accounts that alcohol for reasons unknown and in even small amounts can cause some subjects to swim downward thinking it is up.
Research is sketchy because it results in death. Where the subject lives there is no reason to give an account.
Alcohol and a safe passage are less than bosom buddies...

Senior MP: Obama Needs Agreement with Iran for Reelection.
"No international consensus will be made for any measure in the next 6 months and until the presidential election in the US, and at present it is the US which is in need of an agreement with Iran and attempts to lead the western sides to the same path," member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mahdi Sanayee told FNA.
He also said that the Zionist lobby and the Republicans are trying hard to hinder any agreement between Iran and the world powers in the upcoming talks.
"Iran's nuclear negotiations has turned into a topic of the presidential campaign in the US and both electoral camps are following up on this issue," the legislator mentioned.
On Sunday, a senior advisor to former EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana, who headed the delegations of the world powers in talks with Tehran before Catherin Ashton, had also reiterated that Obama wants the world powers' talks with Iran to continue in a bid to harness oil prices to secure a win in the upcoming presidential election.
"The Americans' motive for negotiation is keeping the situation calm to prevent Israel's unsolicited moves that might upset the electoral process in the United States," Alastair Crooke told FNA on Saturday, adding that the US policy on negotiations with Iran is an extension of Obama's reelection campaign.
Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany) held several rounds of talks in Baghdad on Wednesday and Thursday. The Baghdad meeting came after Iran and the six world powers resumed talks in Istanbul, Turkey, last month and agreed to meet again in the Iraqi capital on May 23. The two sides are due to continue their negotiations in the Russian capital, Moscow, on June 18 and 19.
Crooke said the US policy of continued talks with Iran is also aimed at "stopping increasing tensions in the Middle-East resulting in escalation in oil prices".
"I think the increase in oil prices has a direct impact on particularly American thinking because it affects so much the constituencies that he is trying to win in order to get success in the presidential election," he said, adding that this is why the US and the Obama administration are attempting to prevent any tension in the region.
The standoff between Iran, the world's second-largest supplier of oil, and the West over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program has always been seen as a flashpoint that could sharply increase world crude prices.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had warned in April that crude oil prices may spike by up to 30 percent if Iranian supplies were disrupted by sanctions imposed by the US and EU over the country's nuclear program, causing "serious consequences" for the global economy.
"Clearly it would be a shock to economies if there was a major shortage of exports of oil out of Iran, it would certainly drive up prices for a period of time," (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde said.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has calculated that an interruption in oil supplies from Iran could increase oil prices by 20 to 30 percent, said Lagarde.
"A sudden and brutal rise in the price of oil" from Brent crude's current levels of $125 a barrel "would have serious consequences on the global economy", she added.
Iran has been exporting about 3 million barrels of crude oil per day (bpd). It is the second largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

With that inimitable San Franciscan condescension toward anything too popular, various eyes rolled skyward when the SF Film Society announced the tributees at the 50th SF International Film Festival would include the two most famous Hollywood-type people who live hereabouts, George Lucas and Robin Williams. Like a canyon-echoed foghorn, bass exhalations of "borrrrrr-ing" filled select pockets of local airspace. Read more »

Dream catchers and rainbows. Stately dragons that soar the starry skies as majestically as a space station and more Marshall stacks than you can shake a pewter warlock wand at. Lone wolves and lynx meeting under snowy boughs in untamed, magical communion. Daggers with serpentine handles morphing gently into stalactites and snowflakes. Wizards solemnly lifting crystal balls aloft in triumph, taking a Festival Viking cruise past jagged pink quartz reefs. Read more »

I'm only a little bit ashamed to admit that I loved Making the Band. No, not the acceptably addictive, Diddy-produced Danity Kane version. I'm talking about the one that birthed O-Town, baby - the quintet of preppy dudes united by boy-band Svengali Lou Pearlmen for three seasons of semi-emotive crooning, thrusting choreography, manufactured drama, and all the *NSYNC coattail riding instant fame could buy.

In his recent book Poor People, William T. Vollmann writes, "For me, poverty is not mere deprivation; for people may possess fewer things than I and be richer; poverty is wretchedness. It must then be an experience more than an economic state. It therefore remains somewhat immeasurable." Despite the enormity of such a disclaimer, Vollmann attempts to calibrate a calculus of misery. Portuguese director Pedro Costa seems motivated by a similarly conflicted impetus. Read more »
The idea that death is the great equalizer only seems true in the narrowest sense. As with life, it takes all kinds: romantic deaths and pointless ones, iconic casualties and anonymous mortalities. One might fairly expect a documentary about Paris's Pere-Lachaise Cemetery to be a macabre portrait of death cults, given its status as a tourist trap. But Forever, the latest film by Heddy Honigmann, finds solace in more introspective rituals. Read more »
*Golden Door (Emanuele Crialese, Italy/France, 2006).

With I Don't Want to Sleep Alone, Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang has made something of a modern silent movie. I didn't count, but I am pretty sure there are only a handful of words (if not less) spoken by the movie's main characters. Taking the place of dialogue is ambient noise snippets from a Cantonese opera, a Malaysian news report, a talk show in Mandarin and most of all, unadulterated silence. With communication perpetually out of reach, it is no wonder alienation is such a major theme in Tsai's films. Read more »
Where to start with the work of Ennio Morricone? The composer and musician has scored more than 400 films, so the task for the curious listener, let alone for the intrepid film curator, can be daunting. His most famous soundtracks have become a kind of enduring synecdoche, capable of summoning not just a particular title but an entire genre think of the evocative power of the ocarina flourish in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

Long before Al Gore saw green in front of a blue screen and Hollywood used the Academy Awards to congratulate itself for suddenly becoming ecofriendly, Tsai Ming-liang braided more than a half dozen superb movies set in parts of a poisoned planet that Americans rarely contemplate. Resulting in at least a pair of classics 1997's The River and 2003's Goodbye, Dragon Inn Tsai's one of a kind linked works to date have been distinguished by their not just rare but entirely singular realism and prescience about everyday pollution.

LOWER BRULE, S.D. (AP) – Officials say the floor of a bank on the Lower Brule Indian Reservation in central South Dakota collapsed after tribal members rushed to the business to cash about $6 million in trust settlement checks. The Daily Republic reports the floor of bank dropped 2 feet Tuesday. No one was injured but the bank is closed indefinitely. The Lower Brule Tribe began issuing $750 checks to about 3,800 members on Tuesday as part of a settlement with the federal government over the abuse and mishandling of tribal assets. The Crow Creek Tribe in nearby Fort Thompson started issuing $800 checks to about 4,000 tribal members on Monday. Tribal officials say banks in Chamberlain and Pierre will have to be used until a bank resumes service in Lower Brule.

eTekhnos Announces New Web Design Optimization for Mobile Access Webinar Series
eTekhnos is holding two 30 minute webinars on Tuesday, March 19 at 2:00pm Central and Wednesday, March 20 at 10:00am Central to discuss mobile optimization for web design.
Keller, TX (PRWEB) March 13, 2013
Many firms have little or no idea how their website looks on a smart phone or tablet, but consumers are using their mobile devices to access the web more than ever before. In order to address this growing trend, eTekhnos is launching a webinar series to help benefit agencies and other firms optimize their websites for mobile access.
Responsive web design means crafting a website to provide an optimal viewing experience: easy reading and navigation across a wide range of devices from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones.
A striking 87 percent of smartphone owners check the Internet or email on their phones, including 68 percent who do so generally every day, and 25 percent say they "mostly go online using their phone, rather than with a computer." – NBCnews.com.
New developments in code and technology mean eTekhnos can optimize an existing site – in HTML or WordPress – much more quickly and less expensively than ever possible before.
Key Details
- Very quick turnaround – less than 3 weeks
- Very little needed from client's staff – usually just hosting information
- Low cost – only takes between 3-4 hours to optimize.
Join eTekhnos for a free 30 minute webinar March 19th or 20th to learn more and see examples. The webinar will discuss mobile optimization as well as integrating UBA resources into a website with ease.
Webinar #1 – Tuesday 19 March 2.00 pm CST
Webinar #2 – Wednesday 20 March 10.00 am CST
Reply or call to join the webinar or set up a time to discuss how eTekhnos can help.
About eTekhnos
Founded in 2005, eTekhnos, Inc. custom designs HR and benefits portals that simplify management, lower barriers to access, and promote effective communications. eTekhnos works with brokers and their employer groups to centralize benefits, payroll, and wellness resources on a single platform, which is accessible via a single sign-on feature, making critical information instantly available from any desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device with Internet connectivity.

Inverness Hen Weekends
- With only one phone call we can arrange your whole weekend or day!
- A simply mind blowing amount of different activities, hen groups love!
- We will make sure you get the best deal possible
- Our website simply could not be any easier for you ladies to use!
- Organising hen do's is what we do and we are great at it!
What Makes Inverness A Great Place For A Hen Weekend
Inverness is great city, it's actually one of only seven cities in Scotland so there is a wee bit of trivia. This is one of the most popular areas of the highlands and while for the most part people do have their hen weekend in Inverness because of the things they can get up to during the day, Inverness still does have many fun places you can go to in the evening.
If you want to mix in a little bit of culture with your hen weekend then it seems like Inverness has culture and touristy stuff everywhere you turn!
A nice walk to the Inverness Cathedral is always a favourite. And if you want to see some of the best nature spots in the city then many tourists have fallen in love with Plodda Falls and many people love to try and catch a glimpse of the dolphins at Chanonry Point.
Eating and Shopping In Inverness
Eating in Inverness is nothing but a pleasure- there are many little places where you girls can grab a coffee, cup of tea and some nice lunch. Cafes such as Cafe Artysans and the Sun Set Cafe are a great place to get a piece of cake and recharge the batteries during your hen weekend.
Inverness is actually kind of underrated as far as the shopping goes. There is a pretty cool high street and there is also a retail park called Inverness Shopping Park that has around 30 stores. If you want to do your shopping a wee bit closer to town then the Eastgate Shopping Centre is well worth a look at.
What You Ladies Can Do At Night!
Check out these amazing things you ladies can get up to during your hen night!
Male Stripper
Just picture this scene. There is a knock at your hotel room door, the bride to be answers and BAM, she is greeted by a hunky stripper. The look on her face will just be priceless. A male stripper is a real classic and you can let them know in advance what you would like them to do. This is a bit of naughty fun and a great way to start your hen weekend.
Miami Nightclub
If you ladies want to party it up in a place that offers some good tunes, cheap booze and a fun atmosphere. Then Miami Nightclub is a place you sexy ladies need to check out. Inverness may not have a ton of nightclubs, but Miami is one that needs to be on the list for your hen weekend.
The Iron Works
This is a really cool place that just offers some great live entertainment. This is a lively venue that plays host to all kinds of live acts. As of me writing this (which will probably be long before you read it) there was a Neil Diamond tribute act and a Dire Straits tribute act due to play here. There are also live shows as well as music at The Iron Works. So if you want a little live entertainment during your hen night then I recommend you see what is on here during your stay in Inverness.
Eden Court Theatre
I have another live entertainment venue for your hen weekend right here. What I really like about the Eden Court Theatre is that as well as offering live stage shows such as plays and comedy acts. There is a really nice and intimate cinema here. Add to this a place where you can get some good food and you have a great place to go before you hit the pubs and clubs later in the evening.
Fun To Be Had During The Day
As far as activities during the day goes, Inverness has some just awesome sights, places and fun things to get up to.
Murder Mystery Trail
Now this is a great laugh. The Inverness Treasure Trail is just a great time. You ladies will be given some clues and then it's up to you to work together to solve the mystery. This will take you on a wild adventure in many ways it's kind of like the movie The Davinci Code, but without all the religious stuff and people getting killed…… so I guess apart from solving the mystery its nothing like that movie, but anyway back on topic. This is a great and fun way to see many of the cool sites in Inverness without having to do the normal touristy thing.
Bar One Cocktail Making Class
Now be honest here ladies, who in your group has a tendency to indulge when it comes to cocktails? Come on do not be shy! Anyway Bar One is just flat out awesome! Here you ladies will learn how to make the perfect cocktail and you can even come up with some of your own style of cocktail.
I am not saying they will be any good, but it's fun to try! Also as well as offering a great cocktail making class, Bar One is also a great place to grab a bite to eat and have a few sneaky day time drinks as well.
Learn To Pole Dance
While this may raise a few eyebrows, I am sure that once you ladies are done with your pole dancing lesson that you will all have big goofy grins on your face. You see pole dancing is actually way harder than it looks and as well as this it's also a ton of fun. It's impossible to do this and not have a good time. And hey, you ladies may even learn a few new tricks that you can use to spice things up in the bedroom!
A Relaxing Spa Day
Now this is what I am talking about ladies. If there is a time when it's almost legally required that you girls need a spa day where you can relax with some of your best friends, get a nice massage, maybe a pedicure, a facial or one of the many other treatments that are on offer here, it's during a hen weekend. This is the perfect way to unwind before you hit the town in the evening. Not only will you feel amazing, you will also look great too!
Getting To Inverness
While its known as a highland city, Inverness is a very easy place to get to. If you are coming by car then you can easily get here on the good old A1. But there is also the option of getting here on the train. Trains and actually coaches are pulling into here all the time so getting here by public transport could not be any easier

A burning bus in the Bangkok riots 2009. Troops fired in the air early morning to disperse crowds in the capital, Bangkok, and 70 people reported injured. The demonstrators humiliated the government when they "swarmed" into the venue of a regional summit at the weekend, forcing some of heads of state to flee by helicopter. Abhisit was forced to cancel the meeting that was supposed to discuss a regional response to the global financial crisis. That move did little for his waning authority or Thailand's international image.
The unrest follows 2008's protests by anti-Thaksin demonstrators – wearing yellow T-shirts – who occupied Bangkok international airport, stranding about 250,000 foreign tourists for a week. Thai officials warn that the latest unrest could cost the country's tourism industry billions of pounds and 200,000 jobs.Thailand has been racked by instability ever since the 2006 coup – one of 18 revolutions the country has experienced.

Stud Recruit Completes His Task at Hand
A new recruit has arrived this week and he is a STUD! Sergeant Simon is a prime specimen of what a military man should be: masculine, bulky, hot, strong and of course, courageous. He has been to Iraq twice, near the Syrian border to help fend off insurgents, stop contraband activity, and protecting the Iraqi people. He definitely fits the role of being an All-American Hero!Simon works his meat through his camies, while his huge forearms flex and ripple each time he strokes himself. He takes off his shirt next, revealing a nicely built chest and chiseled arms, which are enhanced by his beautifully designed tattoos. Pulling down his pants, he lets out his thick cock, already dripping with precum from the swollen mushroom head.Then getting up on his knees, he shows off his great beefy legs and hot bubble butt. Taking a sneak peak from behind, there is a sly little leprechaun waiting on his sexy ass cheek. Wonder what he is doing back there?? Going back around, Simon is ready to b

New British and Commonwealth Featherweight Champion Lee Selby will make the first defence of his titles at York Hall on the 18th November against John Simpson. The bout is part of another action packed event from George and Francis Warrens Queensberry Promotions which will be LIVE and exclusive on the UKs new home boxing, BoxNation.
The 24 year old from Barry in Wales claimed both belts with a sensational 8th round knockout against the heavily fancied Stephen Smith in September. Whilst Simpson of Greenock, Scotland has previously held both belts in the past.
Selby, raring to step through the ropes again said Im looking forward to defending my titles, it was such a career milestone to win them and now I have absolutely no intention of letting them go. Simpson is a good fighter but until I fought for a title I was holding back my punching power to get some rounds under my belt, but in my last four bouts I have let my punches go and have knocked out three out four opponents, so he should expect the same treatment.
The undercard for the event features the Cruiserweight dust up between Tony Conquest and Toks Owoh, and with another Queensberry fighter having captured the British Cruiserweight title this week in Leon Williams, the bout is a chance for the winner to stake their claim for a shot at Williams. Conquest, who sat ringside watching closely as Williams beat Norton with a split decision victory, said with Norton having lost a title that he has held on to for so long, it means that the division has now been opened right up; and with my showdown with Owoh on the 18th November it means that I can now look to stake my claim for a shot at the Lonsdale belt
Francis Warren anticipating a card full of hard-fought battles said, Its another hard hitting competitive card. Lee Selby, who has made a speciality of scoring knock out wins when fighting for titles, will be looking to pick up where he left off against Smith. Hell be looking to make the most of that big punching power, but in Simpson he faces a fighter who has never been stopped, its a really intriguing matchup. Tony Conquest also gets his chance to start making his claim for a shot at the British Cruiserweight title. I sat ringside with Tony as Leon Williams overcame long standing champion Rob Norton, and you could see how keen he is to kick on and make himself a contender for the belt.
Exciting prospect Billy Morgan of Canning Town also features on the bill and gets the chance to impress in front of his home town crowd.
Tickets are priced at £40 and £60 are available from the Queensberry Promotions Box Office on 01992 550 888 or www.frankwarren.tv
Kronk vs Chicago!!! STEWARD LEADS A TALENTED TEAM AGAINST CHICAGO'S FINEST
The legendary Kronk gym has its historical roots firmly cemented in the world of boxing. Kronk Gym is perhaps one of the most renowned gyms in the world, the gym located in The Motor City of Detroit, Michigan has served its purpose over the years and raised a fair share of world champions. Kronk skyrocketed to the top of the boxing world during the late 1970s with Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward leading the gym to historical status. Fighters such as Hilmer Kenty, Thomas Hearns, Duane Thomas, Mickey Goodwin and brothers Milton and Steve McCory trained at Kronk all the fighters eventually became world champions.
Yet, before becoming a world champion every fighter must fight their way through the amateur levels and gain the much-needed experience before fighting on a professional level. Steward knows all about what it takes to have a successful amateur background; he compiled a record of 94 wins and 3 losses as an amateur boxer, including winning the 1963 national Golden Gloves tournament in the bantamweight division. Afterward, Steward became interested in training amateur boxers. Steward trained many of the nation's top amateurs. He eventually translated his success with amateurs into a career training championship-level professional fighters.
In the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois the fighters welcome any challenge from any city or gym for that matter. Chicago has always been known for creating fighters who push forward no matter what, it seems as if they are trained at a early age that non stop pressure will eventually make their opposition fold. King David Estrada showed that same Chicago style when he defeated the highly touted undefeated Mexican Olympian Orlando Lora, during that fight Estradas non-stop pressure eventually led to Loras dismantlement. One thing for sure is the pressure will be heavily weighing on the shoulders of all the trainers and fighters as well as the fans as after this event is over, a city will hold bragging rights.
Everyone is eagerly waiting October 28th to arrive and one person in particular is Bill Hillman of Chi-Box Radio/FightNews.com, he was quoted earlier this week about his thoughts on KRONK VS CHICAGO in which he replied I think this could save Amateur boxing across the country. This is something that used to happen a lot. Especially the New York versus Chicago rivalry. When city pride is brought into a boxing ring people come out to support. It's a wonderful idea. This needs to happen more and Kronk versus Chicago is a wonderful match up Detroit and Chicago is close and has been rivals for nearly their whole existence. The fact that he's [Cericola] got Emanuel Stewart behind this is a sign that he is a real and smart and dedicated promoter with a great idea.
Representing Chicago will be Fidel Navarette, Semajay Thomas, Shawn Simpson, Jose Arambula, Jimmy Murphy, Raymond Johnson, Omero Siller, and Johnny Lewus Jr.
I think this is very unique and I had this idea on my mind for a very long time Said Mike Cericola of LUDUS Promotions KRONK vs CHICAGO will help raise interest in Chicagos amateur boxing scene and provide our kids a chance to be challenged by a world famous gym Cericola went on to say.
What will make this event even more spectacular will be those responsible with the task of matchmakers. Emanuel Steward and Chicagos Iconic Sam Colonna will handle that task. If anyone knows boxing its definitely these two gentlemen who are both a walking book on the sweet science.
In addition to the KRONK fighters challenging CHICAGO, other bouts have been added to this stacked event. In typical LUDUS PROMOTIONS fashion the night will be capped off with a DJ, Food, Drinks, Raffles and a Mariachi band. Tickets to this Tickets has been economically priced at the low price of $20.00
Sponsoring KRONK VS CHICAGO will be TECATE, HOY, JIMMYS RED HOTS, ACADEMIA TRUCK DRIVING, and BRACKENBOX.
KRONK VS CHICAGO will be held on October 28th 2011 at El Rey Ballroom, which is conveniently located at 3504 S Western Ave, in Chicago, Illinois. For more information please contact (773) 841-7350
Warriors Congratulates O'Connor and Jack
Warriors Boxing President Leon Margules wishes to congratulate two of his most promising prospects for their impressive victories over the weekend at Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Fighting in support of the Edwin Rodriguez vs. Will Rosinsky ShoBox-televised main event, 2008 United States Olympic alternate Danny O'Connor (16-1, 4 KO's) continued to show improvement since relocating to Houston to train with the legendary Ronnie Shields.
Fighting in front of a large group of fans who had made the drive from his hometown of Framingham, Massachusetts, super lightweight O'Connor didn't disappoint, as he won a six-round unanimous decision over Schenectady, New York's Bryan Abraham (5-8-2, 5 KO's).
Being taught to sit down more on his punches by Shields, O'Connor dropped Abraham in round one and landed the harder shots throughout. The scores were 60-54, 59-55 and 58-54.
Also that night, former Swedish Olympian Badou Jack "The Ripper" (8-0, 7 KO's) scored a TKO 5 over Eddie "Thunder" Caminero of Lawrence, Massachusetts, with a monster left hook to the body at 1:47. The powerful Jack had been dominating with his educated accuracy and although Caminero bravely got to his feet, Referee Ricky Gonzalez felt he had seen enough.
"Both guys looked great tonight," said Warriors Boxing President, Leon Margules. "Danny O'Connor looks like an all-new fighter since moving over to train with Ronnie and Badou Jack is making believers out of everyone who sees him fight. Danny is already a big ticket seller and Badou Jack will continue to develop his fan base as well with continued performances like tonight. They're both future champions."

Current Career Opportunities
Click here to apply.
Great People Work Here
To showcase the variety of career opportunities available at News Link, we're featuring a few employees and their respective jobs. If there is one unifying quality among them, it's that they all strive for greatness in everything they do.
EDUCATION: Bachelor of Arts, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
EXPERIENCE: I joined News Link in 2005 as a corporate journalist and have worked with clients from New Orleans to Seattle — and just about everywhere in between — to help them establish an environment of camaraderie and safe working habits. I now apply my field experience to my duties as one of News Link's editors.
CURRENT JOB DESCRIPTION: I ensure the copy of nearly 200 publications is not only grammatically sound, but also conforms to our clients' individual specifications. Training also is an important aspect of my job. I work with our new employees to ensure the content meets the high level of quality to which our clients are accustomed.
OBSERVATIONS: Many of our clients work in an industry in which safety is the highest priority, and I've heard the phrase "I work safely so I can go home to my family at the end of the day" more times than I can count. It's a good feeling knowing the publications I help produce help them get there.
I always considered my work travels an opportunity, not an obligation — there are few lines of work that would've allowed me to jet off to the Pacific Northwest one week and the Arizona desert the next.
BEYOND 9 TO 5: When I'm not playing soccer in a local league, I can be found bicycling on one of eastern Nebraska's many trails or manning my charcoal grill.

The Centre will provide an assistance of Rs. 352 crore to farmers for replanting horticulture crops that were hit by untimely rain and hailstorm earlier this month in parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Rajasthan.
The fund release was sanctioned by an Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) that met here on Monday. The assistance is part of the ongoing schemes under the National Horticulture Mission. The government has also decided to release Rs. 92 crore from the National Disaster Response Fund to Karnataka for providing relief to farmers whose rabi crop has been hit by rain. This was decided at a meeting of the high-level committee headed by Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar.
The Karnataka government had given a memorandum seeking Central assistance. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram and Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde attended both meetings.
Last week, the EGoM had cleared a financial assistance of Rs. 1,351 crore to Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh for damage to horticulture crop and standing rabi crops, including wheat, pulses and oilseeds.
Central teams had visited Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh for spot assessment of the damage caused by unseasonal rain and hail in the two States.
The Agriculture Ministry had taken the Election Commission's advice on release of funds to the affected States, sources said.
Keywords: Horticulture replantation, Agricultural ministry, EGoM, unseasonal rains, crops damage, horticulture, rabi crops, hailstorms

Pasco County's Alison Morano, St. Pete Beach's Rick Boylan, Miami-Dade's Annette Taddeo (briefly a party chair candidate), and Jacksonville attorney Justin Spiller are the new vice-chairs.
"From Jacksonville to Miami, Democrats will be working more aggressively than ever to register and turnout out voters to defeat this governor who has proven time and again he is simply not our side," Tant said in a press release.
Actually, in recent weeks, when it comes to distributing bonuses to public school teachers and expanding Medicaid, Scott has been on the Democrats' side, prompting considerable grumbling amongst segments of the Republican Party of Florida, most notably in Tea Party ranks.
But the number one goal for Tant and Florida Democrats is to defeat Scott (or perhaps another Republican if a challenger comes forth in the next year) in 2014 and take back the governor's mansion for the first time in 16 years.
Not surprisingly, all four new vice-chairs supported Tant in her fierce battle against Clendenin, which was decided in Lake Mary on the last weekend in January.
Alison Morano served as vice-chair under the previous party chairman, Rod Smith, who exited from leadership last month.
Rick Boylan has been prominent with the Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County. He also worked for 20 years with the Democratic National Committee.

Fred Mogul, Reporter, WNYC News
Fred Mogul has been covering healthcare and medicine for WNYC since 2002.
New York, NY —
Last summer, a woman's death in a public hospital in Brooklyn was captured on videotape, and it showed her being ignored by hospital staff for nearly 24 hours, even after she collapsed and was lying face down on the floor. The footage was widely distributed and helped lead to broad reforms at the psychiatric ward of Kings County Hospital, one of the largest public hospitals in the country. But a new U.S. Justice Department report alleges incidents of violence and sexual assault continue at an alarming pace. WNYC's Fred Mogul joins us now to discuss the investigation.

Nordic skiing on the street with Skike bike-skates
July 19, 2012
When we first saw the term "Skike," we immediately thought "skate bike" (i.e. a scooter-like contraption combining bike components with skating action). We were probably thinking of the similarly named Trikke and its brother the Skki. The Skike does combine biking and skating, but it's a different kind of skating and a different kind of skate-bike. Essentially a roller skate with biking influences, the Skike is a tool for asphalt cross country skiing. Read More
It seems that more and more often, we're hearing about people adding computer functionality to existing products – turning so-called "dumb" devices into "smart" ones. While that's understandable with electronic appliances such as fridges and washing machines, a lot of people might scoff at the idea of a smart ski pole ... wouldn't that be sort of like a smart pencil sharpener or doorstop? It turns out, however, that software engineer Anthony Griesel's Neva microprocessor-equipped ski poles could actually be kind of useful. Read More

If you buy a suitcase these days, it will likely come with those little built-in wheels that let you pull it along behind you. Most people, in fact, would probably feel cheated if they ended up with luggage that they had to carry everywhere. Well, Connecticut-based inventor Joanna Lach is hoping her SkiCart product will do for downhill skis what those little wheels did for suitcases. The device attaches to the back end of a set of skis, so those skis can be pulled from the car to the slopes, instead of having to be hefted in the user's arms or perched on their shoulder. Read More
It looks like the skiers' communications systems from Buhel and Recon could soon be in for some solar-powered competition. Working with German tech company TEXSYS and the Technische Universität Berlin, researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration have developed a communications module that can be integrated directly into a ski helmet. That module is powered by nothing but sunlight, and can be linked with the user's mobile devices via a Bluetooth-enabled glove-based control unit. Read More
We're not aware of lost skis being a huge problem, but the folks at Washington state-based company Ski Retriever have obviously faced that problem often enough to go to the trouble of developing a solution. The Ski Retriever is a homing system for lost skis that involves attaching homing tabs to your skis or snowboard and using the radio-based, handheld device to track them down should you misplace them. Less time spent digging fruitlessly through the snow means more time skiing the mountain. Read More
Typically when we think of indoor skiing, it's in the form of massive, resource-intensive indoor ski resorts like the Skipark 360 being built in Sweden. German company SkyTec Interactive offers a more streamlined type of indoor skiing: simulated ski training on ski-based exercise equipment with virtual slopes. SkyTec debuted its first public facility in the United States this month. Read More
The tiny Swiss town of Tenna has put itself on the eco-map by building an innovative solar-powered ski lift. The solar lift is one of the world's first of its kind, and utilizes a "cable car system" where the solar panels are integrated directly into the lift. Approximately 80 solar panels are incorporated into a 450-meter (492-yard) system that is suspended above the ski lift, which has the capacity to pull 800 skiers up the mountain per hour. To avoid running out of energy during bad weather and snow storms, the ski lift is also connected to the local power supply, so skiers will not be left hanging on in the dark! Read More

Beds fill quickly in San Diego's winter homeless shelters
The city contracts for an additional 150 beds for veterans at 28011/2 Sports Arena Blvd. in the Midway area. Veterans can stay all winter, and receive assistance through numerous programs, including Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, mental health care and employment counseling.
That shelter opened Friday night and filled up by Saturday afternoon, said Andre Simpson of the Vietnam Veterans of San Diego. Simpson already has turned away 60 veterans.
"That number is just going to continue to go up," he said. "There's just not enough beds in the county."
For the first time this year, an additional 100 beds for families will be available at the San Diego Rescue Mission's J Street facility. These beds are available on a nightly basis starting at about 7 p.m., but the families must leave each morning after breakfast.
The availability of winter shelters varies around the county. In East County, St. Alban's Episcopal Church has been battling El Cajon City Hall over housing about 120 people in tents on church grounds.
In the South County, the cities of Chula Vista, Imperial Beach and National City do not have any city-sponsored homeless shelters.
In the North County, there are two cold-weather shelters: a 100-bed shelter operated by Interfaith Community Services at the National Guard Armory in Escondido and a 125-bed shelter at the Green Oak Ranch in Vista.
For the past several years, San Diego's winter shelter program was run by St. Vincent de Paul, but this year, the city put the contract out to bid and awarded it to different agencies.

W3C Expands Support for Speech Synthesis of World Languages.
http://www.w3.org/ -- Today, W3C took steps to broaden support for the world's languages in voice applications on the Web. This First Public Working Draft of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) 1.1 incorporates important features and feedback from SSML Workshops held in Beijing, China and Heraklion, Greece. On 13-14 January 2007, W3C conducts a third Workshop on SSML, hosted by Bhrigus Software and the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in Hyderabad, India. This Workshop promises more expert review and contributions to SSML, part of W3C's Speech Interface Framework, a suite of specifications for building voice applications on the Web.
Voice Applications in Many Languages Are Growing on the Web
It is forecast that within three years, the World Wide Web will contain significantly more content from Chinese and Indian language families, among others. In many of the regions where these languages are spoken, people can access the Web more easily through a less expensive mobile handset than through a desktop computer. Today the world has more than ten times as many cellphones as Internet-connected personal computers. With an improved SSML, people worldwide will have an increased ability to listen to synthesized speech through mobile phones, desktop computers and other devices, extending the reach of computation and information delivery to nearly every corner of the globe.
SSML 1.1 Brings Together Needed Support for Variety of Spoken Languages
SSML 1.1 improves on W3C's SSML 1.0 Recommendation by adding support for more conventions and practices of the world's languages. One new feature helps to disambiguate "word boundaries" in languages that do not use whitespace as a word boundary, including Chinese, Thai, and Japanese. SSML 1.1 allows references to language-specific pronunciation alphabets. It clarifies the relationship between the author's specified speaking voice and the language being spoken. It provides finer-grained control over lexicon activation and entry usage.
In addition, SSML 1.1 provides features to better integrate with existing and upcoming Speech Interface Framework specifications.
Hyderabad Workshop Participants to Focus on Indian Language Families, Arabic and Hebrew
The third SSML Workshop brings together experts from India, Pakistan, and other countries to identify and prioritize requirements for SSML extensions and additions that will improve its use for rendering non-English languages including (but not limited to) Arabic, Hebrew, and the Indian languages Telugu, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarthi and Urdu. The top priorities on the agenda are to describe new requirements, their usage scenarios, and the problems to be solved. The output from this Workshop will be reviewed by the W3C Voice Browser Working Group for possible new features in SSML 1.1 and beyond.
About the World Wide Web Consortium [W3C]
The (W3C) is an international consortium where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines designed to ensure long-term growth for the Web. Over 400 organizations are Members of the Consortium. W3C is jointly run by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the USA, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) headquartered in France and Keio University in Japan,and has additional Offices worldwide.
