"The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing" Blaise Pascal
The 14th is not merely a brilliant idea of Halmark Cards. Rather, the day has a special link to Roman history, to Christianity and to romance. Today, Business Insider Australia spells out this history: The Reason behind hearts & flowers.
However, tomorrow, the 14th or any day, you can take your Sweetie to several charming scenes for a delicious repast! For most, bookings are essential:
Start off the morning with an elegant tea at ByGone Beautys
Sunshine or Snow -- A teapot at ByGone Beautys
Perhaps Flower-Pot Scones might be your idea of saying 'I love you'. . . Wayzgoose Cafe owns the market on the delicate beauties.
If you love a garden and an historic setting, tea at Everglades Gardens Tearoom fits the bill. While in the heat we have been experiencing this summer, Everglads has seen cooler days as the photo below proves!
For elegant dining, Leura offers some of the best:
The Rooster Restaurant with a terrific lookout over the escarpment will also make the evening special with musicians, flowers and candlelight.
Bon Ton Bistro and its gorgeous outdoor venue is a favourite and the wine selection will please those conniseurs of the grape.
The Alex (Alexandra) at the top of the Mall offers a beautiful view across Leura and out to the escarpment. Great dining and wine for a lovely lunch or dinner at perhaps the oldest of Leura's settings.
And last but definitely not least, The Embers at the Fairmont Resort is the special place to wine and dine your loved one in 2017

Smokers in New Zealand are sucking in more nicotine from their cigarettes than Australian smokers, new research has found.
Researchers at international company, British American Tobacco, tested 80,000 smoked cigarette butts sourced from eight countries, the New Zealand Herald reported on Monday.
The study, published in the journal of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, found Australians sucked 1.36 milligrams of nicotine out of each cigarette.
Meanwhile, New Zealanders sucked out 1.62 milligrams of the addictive ingredient.
Local public health specialist, Murray Laugesen, told the Herald this could be because Australians preferred lower-nicotine brands or because Kiwis may be "sucking cigarettes more intensively".
According to the study, New Zealanders were at the top end of nicotine exposure, which Dr Laugesen said suggested smoking was more addictive in the Land of Long White Cloud.
"The findings, compared with Australia, show we are not reducing our smoking quite as fast," he said.
The study also found New Zealand smokers were exposed to the greatest average amount of tar out of 5703 smokers in eight countries.
Researchers tested 15 different cigarette brands in each country to accurately reflect the range available.

Since the holidays, I've heard a bit of buzz in staff lounges and in hallways about the various devices everyone has gotten recently, mostly for the holidays.
I monitor bunches of lists and Twitter hashtags that review and feature great apps - many of them free and I find myself wishing I knew who to push out the information to. I've sent out a few scoops, but I feel bad when I think I have missed someone.
So here is a form. If you want me to send you occasional email links when I run across something you might like, just fill it in and wait...
Another very viable option is to collect your own. It isn't hard. I use a combination of Diigo list subscriptions, blog subscriptions and Twitter hashtags. Let me know if you would like some help setting up your personalized feeds.
Don't forget to check out the Google spreadsheet I have shared with all SCSD staff.

Attendance at meetings shifts from time to time & from meeting to meeting.
Is your current home meeting struggling? Do you need member support?
Here are some questions to ask to help revitalize a meeting:
- Should there be a business meeting to discuss and update the meeting's format?
- Should the meeting's format rotate throughout the month to keep things fresh?
- Does the meeting's start time or duration time help or hinder support?
- Does location of the meeting make it too expensive or difficult to operate?
- Are all the service commitments being meet and performed well?
- Can sponsors and sponsees be of service to help support the meeting?
Please contact Intergroup at email@example.com if your meeting is struggling.

The truth of the matter is, when I started this blog, I was semi-fresh out of college, working a job that wasn't entirely fulfilling, used to be super busy, and feeling like I had no hobbies or creative outlets. I still don't have a ton of hobbies and I'm no longer fresh out of college, but I obviously have enough going on to fill my days that I don't need blogging as much as I used to. That's not to say I don't still enjoy it when I do it - writing has always been good for me and special for me. So this little corner of the Internet will remain open for whenever I decide to pop back in. Like now. Hi.
We went to the lake this weekend and had such a nice time. C took off on Friday and so we hit the road early after the baby woke up and ate, and we were at the house by lunchtime. My mom greeted us with BLTs for lunch, which is always awesome. C and I took the jet ski out while the baby napped, and we had a delicious steak dinner and watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Truthfully, the steak was actually awful, but the rest of dinner was delicious. Isn't it disappointing when you just get a terrible cut of meat and there's no way to solve it... Or eat it? C'est la vie.
Two of my high school girlfriends joined us on Saturday and it was wonderful to catch up with them. Normally our girls' weekends consist of wine and a fancy dinner in one of our hometowns, but this time around I invited them to join us at the lake and was so happy they obliged! We got lucky during a rainy, gray weekend and got a sunny afternoon, so we got to enjoy a boat ride and dock time with cold beers. As Lizzy said, this is actually the life!! We took the baby on the boat, and he promptly fell asleep the minute we left the cove and didn't wake up until we pulled back in. Apparently that is the best kind of white noise!
C put on his chef hat and whipped up homemade mozzarella sticks and chicken Parmesan for dinner, and my mom made peach pie for dessert. I do love eating good food with good people.
We squeezed in one more boat ride on Sunday before heading home, and the baby actually stayed awake this time - and he loved it! He couldn't stop jumping up and down and squealing in delight - I do believe we are raising a water baby. I love these memories we are already making with him!
In case this weekend sounds like it was all roses, I will have you know we experienced a major poop-splosion 15 minutes before we were heading out the door to go home... But then again, maybe it WAS all roses, because 15 minutes later and it would have been a car-poop-splosion, which is so much worse. Parenting wins, my friends. It doesn't take much.

Glasgow Warriors have been urged to "raise their game" and deliver a winning performance in the deciding leg of the 1872 Cup against Edinburgh Rugby at Firhill on New Year's Day (kick-off 5.35pm).
Sean Lineen's men were left with mixed emotions after the 23-23 draw in the first of the back to back festive derbies at Murrayfield on Monday. The side showed tremendous character in twice overturning 10-point deficits, but there was also frustration in the camp that they didn't ultimately force a win.
Lineen told www.glasgowwarriors.org: "As with our other recent draws on the road at Dragons and Montpellier, it's indicative of the standards we've set ourselves that we came away from Murrayfield feeling unsatisfied.
"Yet again the players showed great character and spirit to claw their way back into the match, but we're all very keen to stop putting ourselves in positions where we need to do that.
"We really want to assert our own game and ensure it's the opposition that are scrambling to stay in contention. Key to that is starting better than we have in the last few matches, and we've spoken on the topic this week.
"As a coaching team, we've been delighted with the way the guys have been hanging tough and found a way to achieve what have been very respectable results on our travels of late. What we're really excited to see is how much more we're capable of if we play on the front foot from the start and bring our attacking threats into the game more consistently."
The Warriors starting line-up for the game bears seven changes from the deadlock at the national stadium. Two of these switches are injury-enforced, Jon Welsh replacing Ryan Grant (ankle) at loose-head prop, and Colin Shaw taking the wing berth vacated by Rory Lamont.
The 26-cap back-three man suffered a blow to the head/face during the first game, and was taken to hospital for a precautionary scan. He was discharged later that night, and has since been subject to further assessment from the Warriors medical team. The medics are happy with Lamont's progress, but he has not been deemed ready to play this weekend.
The majority of the other changes come in the pack, where Dougie Hall and Moray Low form an all-new front row with Welsh, Ryan Wilson starts at No.8, and Chris Fusaro occupies the openside flanker berth, John Barclay moving to the bench.
In the backs, meanwhile, Peter Murchie replaces Troy Nathan and will start at full-back, with Stuart Hogg moving to outside centre.
Lineen commented: "We've freshened things up in the forwards, bringing in guys who have performed well as replacements in recent weeks and have really put their hand up for a start.
"Moray and Dougie bring excellent experience and class to our pack, while Chris Fusaro has been very consistent all season.
"It's great for quality players like John Barclay to have that level of competition, and having his game knowledge and ability to call on from the bench is a real asset for us this weekend.
"We sustained a couple of injuries in the first game, so we've had to shuffle things a bit, but we're more than happy with the quality of the replacements that are coming into the side.
"Jon Welsh is a proven competitor in the front row, while Colin Shaw was first class off the bench at Murrayfield, showing good awareness for his try.
"Ryan Wilson has had an excellent campaign to date, Peter Murchie is a player we rate very highly, and we're also very excited about what Stuart Hogg can bring to the outside centre position.
"Sunday is about us coming sharply out of the blocks, hitting the ground running and playing the game on our terms. It's going to be another massively physical battle, so we'll need to be right at the top of our game if we're going to keep hold of the silverware."
One of the oldest fixtures in world sport, the Glasgow v Edinburgh clash celebrates 140 years of history in 2012.
Fans can get in the mood for the historic New Year's Day clash by taking part in the club's pre-match party in George Square.
Hosted in conjunction with Glasgow Life and Clyde 1, there will be music, player signing/photo sessions and a fully licensed bar. The party will take place in the Winter Café Bar, beside the 'Glasgow on Ice' rink.
Ticket sales for Sunday's winner takes all clash are selling fast, with just over 1,500 remaining. Supporters wishing to attend the game were today urged to act fast to avoid disappointment.
Fans are also advised that there will be increased demand for on-street parking in the vicinity of Firhill on Sunday, and are encouraged to car share where possible. Supporters who wish to offer or request lifts to/from other supporters can do so via Twitter, using #1872carshare.
Everyone is encouraged to arrive as early as possible, particularly those requiring to collect tickets.
Tickets are available via www.glasgowwarriors.org, by calling 0844 800 3490 or in person at the Glasgow on Ice box office on George Square and the Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street branches of Greaves Sports, our official retail partner.

View past grantees | View Frequently Asked Questions
Topic Details
UCHRI looks forward to receiving project proposals that push the bounds of innovation and collaboration. Digital Humanities projects can take many forms, but applicants are especially encouraged to consider:
- Projects that offer innovative, digitally-mediated access to humanistically relevant information and materials
- Digital tools that offer new solutions for preservation and analysis of resources
- Research projects that explore novel uses of technology related to Humanities scholarship and education
- Digital innovation that fosters increased collaboration and dialogue within and across communities
- New research initiatives or best practices for the field of digital humanities
- Research projects that explore digital culture as an academic discipline, and its impact on society
UCHRI will not fund:
- Website development or sustainability not central to research project development or public dissemination or websites for departments, centers, institutes, or programs
- Digital tools that would replicate existing tools or tools for which there is not demonstrable need among humanists
Application Details
Faculty organizers must be UC ladder rank faculty members and will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of the digital humanities project. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact their respective campus representative on the UCHRI Advisory Committee for guidance in the application process.
Prospective faculty organizers must apply online via UCHRI's FastApps system. Required documents include:
- Project Title and Abstract (200 words max)
- Project Description (2,000 words max, see details below)
- Proposed Budget (see details below)
- Curriculum Vitae of the organizer(s) (2 pages max)
Successful applications should clearly demonstrate how the theme and activities will contribute to research excellence in the humanities and include faculty participants from at least two UC campuses. Applicants in search of start-up funds for digital humanities research projects are especially encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to projects that engage three or more UC campuses and those that involve graduate students in ways that contribute to their training and research development.
Project Description
The project description should be a maximum of 2,000 words and include the following elements:
- Problem Statement, including a brief overview of the project, its significance to the humanities, and the innovative nature of the digital humanities components.
- List of Participants, including each participant's name, campus, department, brief biography, and relevance/contribution to the collaborative project and its stated objectives.
- Research Plan, including proposed development timeline, and any relevant milestones.
- Proposed Objectives, including any final deliverables and plans to sustain the project beyond the grant period.
If the digital humanities project is associated with an already-funded research project, the project description should include a brief overview of the original humanities research project as well. The faculty organizer should also explicitly state how the digital humanities element will provide substantial benefit to the principal research project as a whole but also stand alone on its academic merits.
Proposed Budget
The proposed budget is made up of two elements:
- The Applicant PROPOSED Budget Template
- A Budget Narrative (500 words max) that explains how estimates were determined
Proposed budgets should provide realistic estimates for development, ongoing management, and long-term sustainability. Budgets should also include any other funding sources that will support the project.
UCHRI may also consider administrative costs (up to 15% of the total requested amount), provided justification is detailed in both the budget template and the budget narrative. Amounts should be determined in advance and in writing with the administrative unit (e.g., the faculty organizer's department or campus humanities center). Campuses are prohibited from charging indirect costs on funding from the Office of the President.
For program related questions, please contact Suedine Nakano, Program Officer, at email@example.com.

I'm very happy with my purchase & the buttons are sewn on ...
I had bought this dress at kohls because it is a really cute dress. When I got it home I noticed that the the fake buttons were not sewn on tightly & ended up falling off. I returned it to kohls and found it here on sincerei.com. Yay! I'm very happy with my purchase & the buttons are sewn on nice & tight.
i loved this dress
i loved this dress. the stretch is perfect so it accentuates the right spots, the length is jus right (floor length) and it was NOT see thru. love love love this dress
I love it. Fits perfectly
I love it. Fits perfectly. It's a cute summer dress and I look forward to getting it again in two more prints. :)
Five Stars
Very pretty but very small in the chest area. Waist and hips fit as excepted.
Get compliments on it each time I wear it
I have the black version of this dress as well as the ivory one. They are both absolutely stunning and VERY classic-looking. I can't emphasize enough that you should follow the GIVEN sizing chart, as it has worked for me on all of these Asian-sized clothes. Following the chart, I purchased both dresses in a size 8. I am 5'11" and 135 +/-, and my measurements are 35.5-28-34.5. So many of the dresses on sincerei.com are designed for "curvy" women these days. I interpret that to mean larger hips than bust, and I am always concerned this means there will be extra material around the hips that just looks funny - on ME! What works best is following the sizing chart, not getting a pronounced hourglass shape, and getting a dress that has adequate stretch in order that my hips should only take up what they need. I am also 34D, and I feel NO tightness in the bust or shoulders - both dresses just, pardon the cliche, fit like a glove. Like they were tailor-made for my body.The dresses fall above my knee, but I'm sure they'd be longer on someone who's not 5'11"! The material is thick but cool, there are NO see-through areas, and the mesh patterns are very detailed and beautiful. They could be worn for parties, church, even work (for the black one). The white one seems a little dressier - great casual second wedding dress? So versatile!I just can't say enough positive things about both dresses!! I wish they made this exact style in simple plain colors for work, as well. I'd buy 3 more!!NOTE: you must buy V'femage from "valuefashionshop" to get the real deal. Lots of poor knock-offs out there. I learned the hard way. I think brands like Homeye, Musol, and V'femage are originals, but you must buy from the correct seller, too. Again, I learned the hard way.
Super cute and comfortable
It is a little baggy in front but its comfy and I like the length (if you read the reviews all the designs seem to be different lengths) (even though Im 5.ft 7 "). Its a great lounge and do errands in the heat dress.Im still waiting on the other pattern but if they are too short I will wear short shorts underneath.
great looking
excellent as expected and really looks great
It's really good quality for the price
This is a bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding. It's really good quality for the price. The ties up the back makes the fit more customized.
Five Stars

beyond satisfied with this
It may seem big rightaway, but it shrinks in the wash, fits great! Plus, I still really enjoy this dress. The print is exactly as it was in the picture, and is super cute. It was supposed to come around Feb 11-March 1st, but ended up coming over two weeks early. Beyond satisfied with this and totally recommend it.
We love, love
We love, love, love this dress! High quality, gorgeous design. The material is a little stretchy so the fitting is great. The skirt hangs just beautifully.
Cute, reasonably priced, and comfy
This is a really cute dress! I got the bowknot style with black-red dots, in a small, and it fits great and actually feels comfortable! It doesn't flare out as much as the picture implies, but all in all it's a great dress! I haven't got to wear it for a long period yet, only tried it on, but it really does look nice and isn't too tight or too big!I'm 5"3, roughly 112 lbs. with a bust of a 34C and it's really nice!As a bonus - this dress came today, November 27th, and wasn't predicted to arrive until Dec. 10-29! So SUPER early! I was super excited to get it, and I love it. Would definitely recommend!
def like a 5 in womens dress (USA)
got a small.... def like a 5 in womens dress (USA)
Great Dress
This is a great little dress. It does run a little large, but it was not large enough for me to exchange it.
Five Stars
Love it!
This dress is exactly what I was expecting !! A little snug on my chest but I am a little larger in that area
Great dress for Halloween or any day to dress up.
I bought for 10 year old daughter for Halloween. Fits greats, washes easy, and can be worn anytime when she wants to get her blue dance shoes on
Cute flapper dress
I liked the dress. It was bigger than expected but I prefer the lose to the tight fit. If you are going to a roaring 20's party or wanting a flapper dress, this was great. Could also wear it out for a fun night.

Bear is a census-designated place (CDP) in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. The population was 17,593 at the 2000 census. Originally a small crossroads in a rural area south of Wilmington, the area supported small farms growing mainly corn and cattle. In the late 1980s and 1990s Bear became a popular location for the construction of sprawling housing developments and shopping center along US Route 40. Bear is not an incorporated municipality or strictly delineated area in the county, but instead a general reference to the collection of communities in the US ZIP codes 19701-19702. According to common legend, the name "Bear" originated from a tavern located along the roadway from Wilmington to Dover, Delaware (at the intersection now formed by US 40 and State Route 7), whose sign was decorated with the image of a large bear.

Published January 14, 2010
|Astros Owner Puts Chances Of Sale At Less Than 50%
FINAL HURDLES: MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan noted the 30-day exclusive negotiating period granted to prospective MLB Rangers Owner Chuck Greenberg ends Friday, and "one significant issue that remains is how big of a role" Rangers Owner Tom Hicks "will play in the new ownership group." Hicks yesterday made it clear that he and his family "will remain a significant investor in any new ownership group." Hicks: "You're not getting rid of us." Hicks "could be the second largest investor in the group." But it is "still unknown what role Hicks will have," and "word is the negotiations have been complicated" (MLB.com, 1/13). In Ft. Worth, Jeff Wilson notes the Rangers fan base "just assumes that the transition from" Hicks to the Greenberg group, which includes Rangers President Nolan Ryan, "is a done deal." But the job "isn't done." Three things could be announced late Friday or sometime Saturday: An agreement is "reached, the process moves to baseball's ownership committee, and Greenberg-Ryan is that much closer to seizing control;" an agreement "isn't reached, but both sides pledge to continue working toward one by the start of spring training;" or Hicks "casts aside public sentiment and the momentum generated the past month by announcing that he is seeking another investment group" (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 1/14).

I have a rather sick obsession with life hacks. As someone who thrives on anarchy, I've become a pro at creating systems and routines to ensure maximum productivity amongst the chaos. And while motherhood and business can be a crazy juggle, the truth is that they must go hand in hand if we want to create the absolute best version of our lives.
Here are my top hacks for losing the overwhelm that comes with being a mum in business and getting closer to creating peace and harmony between family and work.
Focus On What Really Matters
As someone who is not particularly design savvy, Canva is one of my biggest time sucks. I could spend hours in there creating the perfect Insta square, only to have it come out looking pretty ordinary anyway.
We all have something in our business which seems productive on a superficial level but ends up being a complete rabbit warren once we get stuck in to it. These are things you need to be aware of and move your focus away from.
For business growth, our ultimate focus should be on building relationships with our clients and customers and creating good quality products and services.
Take some time to consider where you are spending the majority of your time. If periphery tasks are taking up too much of your time, it's time to reassess.
Create A Singular To Do List
An absolute gem that I picked up from Dr Joanna McMillan at our recent Inspired Mum event is that she doesn't separate her business 'to-do list' from her family 'to-do list'. She simply has a 'to-do list'. Sometimes, family matters take out the top positions and at other times business trumps. It's all about accepting that our tasks and obligations are all part of the same life and creating flow and balance between the two.
As a mum, I inherently struggle with delegating. My trumped up sense of self importance tells me that it'll be easier and quicker if I do it myself. To add to this, delegating and outsourcing costs money.
But as business owners, time is our most valuable commodity at and the end of the day, we only have 24 hours of it. Delegating is the quickest and easiest way of creating more hours to give you time to focus on what matters.
Delegating doesn't have to mean sacrificing power and control. You just set the specifications, employ someone else to do the leg work and then you can modify and refine to fit your needs at the end.
We are living in the Digital Age; virtual assistants and online freelancers through sites such as Upwork make it easier and more cost effective than ever to find the right person for the job at a budget that works for you.
So when it comes to the fear of delegation, make like Elsa and just let it go.
Give In To Audio Books
Reading is not a luxury; it is a necessity for your business development and one that you cannot afford to throw away.
Reading is a constant avenue for learning and growth and the wealth of information that lies within the pages of some of the great business books can do wonders for opening your mind to new ideas and inspiration.
There is nothing better than lying in bed at the end of the day and immersing myself in a good book. But life is busy and I'm all about maximising productivity. Audio books are a great way of injecting some extra knowledge into your mind while exercising, driving or engaging in any other task that doesn't require too much brain power.
Schedule In Time Blocks
While my week is not scheduled to the hour, I do set time blocks to make sure that the important stuff is getting done.
Specific business activities which are important to me, such as writing, social media management and business growth are scheduled in and I don't deviate from those. I also have blocks for play dates and spending time with my family just to make sure that I have created a space where they are my focus and priority. Outside of these specific blocks, my week is free range and I can take it as it comes, knowing that space has been put aside for what matters.
Close Enough Is Good Enough
Strive for consistency over perfection. As with anything in life, an all or nothing mindset will only wear you down and lead to disappointment. If at the end of the day you can look back and be mostly happy with how things are going with business and family, then you are miles ahead of the rest.
Care to share your favourite hacks? Send me an email. I'd love to hear your tips and tricks.
Until then...
Be Brave, Live Fierce

Decompression Scuba Diving in Thailand
Staged decompression scuba diving provide the techniques for safe deeper and longer diving.
Koh Tao, Thailand
Big Blue Tech celebrates the graduation of Lin Wang from her TDI Decompression Procedures course conducted by TDI Instructor Ash Dunn over 3 days on Koh Tao Island off the coast of Thailand.
Dive history update: Snorkels are out, decompression stops are in. Four reasons:
We've learned that every dive is a decompression dive. You on-gas; you off-gas. Surface with too much of the former and not enough of the latter: You're bent. Safety stops are a decompression stop. Slow ascents are a decompression technique. You're a decompression diver, like it or not.
We like it. There's no reason that with proper training, skills and equipment recreational divers can't employ this legitimate technique for maximizing hard-earned diving dollars. Especially considering the next reason:
We're wired. Virtually all of today's dive computers provide the information you need to plan and execute simple forms of decompression diving. Some computers do it with graphic displays and flashing icons. Some talk us through it.
We're stupid. Boiled down, decompression is a relatively simple procedure. You ascend to a given depth and hang out for a period of time prescribed by your computer, then go up another 10 feet and zone out again. Try not to fall asleep.
But don't be fooled: At some point, a few curve balls will get tossed your way and the best laid plans take a turn south. That's why the key to responsible decompression dives is planning and preparing for the things that can go wrong.
What's Wrong With This Picture?
Most divers are never taught proper deco technique in traditional diving courses. And that's fine since PADI, SDI, SSI, NAUI and others do not consider planned decompression as part of their charter. Safety stops receive strong mention, but little attention is paid to precision and accuracy. Consequently, watching many sport divers do safety stops is like trying to follow a yo-yo in action. You can get away with that kind of sloppy technique in safety stops because they aren't required for the dive profile.
But with planned decompression, stops are factored into the overall dive profile. If you decide to take your 30- foot stop at 20 or 15 feet, the odds are you may get to experience the reality of decompression sickness firsthand.
Method #1: Use dive tables to predict a dive profile that includes required decompression stops. This allows advance planning for "bottom gas" (what you will need to breathe during the working portion of the dive) and "deco gas" (which you'll need to complete the decompression). Given this scenario, the diver can easily compute a schedule that will allow him to carry enough gas supply for both portions of the dive and allow a contingency factor.
A diver breathing standard compressed air can use that gas for both phases of the dive. Indeed, most tables published for sport diving assume that any deco will be made on the same stuff that the diver was breathing while he was swimming about on the reef or around a wreck.
However, most divers planning decompression today look for an additional safety edge by using pure oxygen or a nitrox mix to increase the efficiency of off-gassing. These divers carry a smaller cylinder of "deco gas" to switch to, usually around the 20-foot stop, or they use one provided by the dive boat.
Method #2: Plan the dive and the decompression as it occurs. This is done with dive computers and allows a much greater window of flexibility to the dive plan since no rigid profile is set in advance. The governing factor in this type of plan is to allow enough gas to complete whatever decompression may be required. There are endless variations to gas volume management that can be calculated by the diver under water, including the classic cave diving "rule of thirds" (one-third of your gas for the descent and dive, one-third for the ascent and decompression, and one-third for reserve).
Method #3: Divers using secondary deco cylinders have an extra edge on the folks who want to decompress on the remaining air in their primary tanks. Not only will they benefit from the higher oxygen mix, they will also generally have from 20 to 50 cubic feet of additional gas to breathe during the hang.
Tips for Avoiding the Chamber
So you completed your dive and are ready to head up to begin the decompression indicated. Here are some basic do's and dont's.
- Know your computer. If you haven't thoroughly familiarized yourself with your computer's decompression functions, don't even think about trying a deco dive just to see what happens. Some units will default if no-decompression profiles are exceeded. Others will scramble if you venture beyond a certain depth limit. Still others have deco models so conservative that you will spend more time at 10 feet than you spent in line at the DMV.
- Monitor ascent rate. Your ascent is part of your total decompression profile. If it's supposed to take you two minutes to come up to your first stop, don't do it in 30 seconds. Likewise, don't come up unreasonably slow as this will only increase nitrogen gas loading during the deeper part of the ascent. Your computer should remind you if you ascend too quickly for its deco model by either flashing a warning on its display or beeping at you with an audible signal.
- Control your buoyancy. Stay in control by dumping excess air during the ascent, and stop completely at least 10 feet below the first stop to ensure you can hover comfortably. Dive with extra weight to counteract the positive buoyancy of tanks as they are empty.
- Stay static. Preferably, your first experiences should include some type of static support like an anchor line or deco bar. This also gives you a firm handhold if current is present or if the dive boat is swinging on its mooring.
- Keep it simple. Initially, no decompression should be planned with more than one stop until you are completely comfortable with your ability to maintain depth, predict breathing rate, and manage your gauges.
- Do it all. Never cut a decompression stop short. Spend all the time required at the depth prescribed. It's OK to extend the last stop. You can consider that part of your "safety stop."
- Assume the position. If you're in a vertical position at your stop, measure the designated stop depth at the chest area. Ideally, try to maintain a horizontal position during the stops as this will subject the body equally to the surrounding pressure.
- Chill. Decompression should be a period of relaxation. Mild exercise is fine and benefits outgassing, but activities should be limited to easy swimming while maintaining depth. Arm windmills or bicycling the legs while holding onto a line or bar also can improve circulation.
- Don't chill. On long hangs, even warm tropical water can edge you toward hypothermia. You'll often need to be more warmly dressed as a decompression diver.

Deco Diving–The Real Risks
Over the years, the mainstream diving community has shunned stage-decompression diving by sport divers, resulting in a significant stigma surrounding the practice. The fact is: Many, if not most, shop owners and instructors do not have an adequate understanding of stage-decompression diving and its risks. The risk of DCS for a diver properly executing a stage-decompression dive is probably about the same, if not less, than it is for a diver making a no-stop dive because of more efficient off-gassing, thus minimizing "silent" bubbles formed during ascent.
The Real Risks
Less risk of DCS, however, does not mean that the stage-decompression diver does not face other significant risks. Stage-decompression divers are forced to stay below a virtual ceiling or face a high risk of DCS. Therefore, they must carry additional equipment that allows them to solve problems at depth, because surfacing is not an acceptable option.
Risk — Dealing with this gear on a dive boat results in a higher risk of physical injury.
Risk — The extra gear results in a larger profile while diving, creating an increased risk of overexertion due to swimming resistance.
Risk — The additional equipment creates a greater number of potential failure points in the gas delivery system, increasing the potential of a failure.
Risk — Because stage-decompression divers cannot rise above the decompression ceiling, should they miss the ascent/descent line, their risk of being carried away from the boat in a current is greater.
Risk — Stage-decompression diving also tends to result in longer in-water exposure times, greatly increasing the chance of hypothermia.
Risk — The extended exposure time also equates to increasing the odds of experiencing a problem while under water.
Bottom Line — Stage-decompression diving requires training and experience beyond the norm. The only way to truly learn to properly execute stage-decompression dives is to seek out a quality training program from an experienced, knowledgeable instructor. While there are increased risks involved, done properly the risks of stage-decompression diving are manageable within an acceptable level.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." ~ Psalm 31:8
In light of devastating tragedies such as the one that has currently struck Haiti, I sometimes get overwhelmed with a sense of wanting to do something to help but not really knowing how I can actually make a difference. However, what I am learning is that there are some people who are meant to "do" in the wake of disaster - the missionaries, field workers, army, medical professionals, peace keepers, etc. and there are some that are meant to "give" so that these individuals have the necessary funds and resources in order to be as effective as possible. In this situation, I believe I can help giving. It might only be a little bit in comparison to the need, but it helps.
I give to Food for the Hungry Canada. I have been extremely fortunate to work closely with this organization over the past six months. They truly have a heart for Christ and delivering hope to those bound by poverty and helping them create permanent solutions to overcoming poverty. I don't know who actually reads this blog, but if you feel like you can help by giving, I would encourage you to give to this organization and currently all donations towards Haiti relief are matched by the Canadian government. www.fhcanada.org
For my US friends, there is a Food for the Hungry based in the US that is also providing relief in Haiti. www.fh.org
And we can all pray.

Lovina Beach is a combination of smaller beaches spanning several local villages between two districts in the North Bali regency of Buleleng. The beach is a great alternative to the highly popular (and often crowded beaches of Bali's south, the likes of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak. Calmer waves, serene black-sand shores, thrills in the offing, and a nightlife scene, are just a few things that sum up this quaint north Bali coast.
- Bali Hai Sunset Dinner Cruise
- Bathe & Breakfast with the Elephants
- Royal Mengwi Temple, Monkey Forest & Tanah Lot Excursion
- Quad or Buggy Driving Adventure & Tubing Excursion
- Romantic Aristocat Evening Cruise with 5-Course Dinner
- Bali White Water Rafting at Telaga Waja River
- Fast-Track Waterbom Bali Admission
- Lembongan Island Leisure Day Trip
- Private East Coast Tour
- Highlights Of Bali Full-Day Tour
Lovina Beach spans two kilometers east to west, with a small area in the Kalibukbuk village as its main focal point. Sunsets are quite the highlight here, with rather subdued nightlife after dusk. A large parking space borders the beach with rows of cafés and trendy seafood restaurants at its sides. Near the sand, a single towering dolphin statue stands as an official landmark. Walk to the east and you will encounter further rows of art shops and small warung traditional stalls offering snacks and refreshments beside an airy boardwalk.
Lovina Beach's sunrises are as 'gently exciting' as its sunsets, and are when participants of dolphin watching tours board colourful traditional motorised jukung outriggers to catch a glimpse of the several different species in these waters. Keep your camera gear ready as these flippers breach the smooth water surface in a blink of an eye. The most frequently sighted species are the dark-skinned spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) that are present all year round, except during the Chinese Lunar New Year period, when wind and rains are heavy and irregular (roughly from February to April).
Many hotels dot the area; among the notable include The Lovina, The Melka Excelsior Hotel, the Adirama Beach Hotel & Restaurant, Aneka Lovina Villas & Spa, the Puri Bagus Lovina, and the Puri Saron Baruna Beach Cottage. Each offer unique experiences and amenities. The Melka Excelsior, for instance, has trained dolphins in one of its special pools that guests can swim with! So there you have it, a better option than chasing them down on boats... Damai Lovina Villas with its luxurious units perched high on the hills, offers a vantage point over the beautiful bay and a different angle on its crimson sunsets.
'Lovina' doesn't sound Balinese, as there is no such thing as the 'v' in the local alphabet. Actually it was originally the name of the first resort in the area that had only three guestrooms. Its founder, the late Balinese author and Buleleng noble, Anak Agung Panji Tisna (1908-1978), built the pioneering resort in 1953. It currently still operates with a new name, as the Lovina Beach Hotel. 'Lovina' was the author's play on the words, 'love' and 'Indonesia'. The name outgrew the establishment and subsequently applied to the whole coastline, which in turn continues to win heart.

- Location: North Bali, west of Buleleng regency's capital city of Singaraja.

At its 2014 Worldwide Designers Conference (WWDC), Apple company introduced Instant as a compiled growth terminology for iOS, OS X and WatchOS. Apple company describes the Instant as safe, fast, entertaining and contemporary growth terminology for iOS, OS X and WatchOS. At the recently concluded WWDC 2015, Apple company declared its decision to make Instant free later this year. The company also declared Instant 2.0 with a new mistake managing API, better performance, and several new features. As an free growth terminology, it can now be used by businesses and independent app developers. Simultaneously, like other free technologies Instant will also be supported by a large and active community. So Instant 2.0 will have a huge effect on iOS and OS X database integration.
How Instant 2.0 will Effect iOS and OS X Program Development?
Migration from Objective-C to Swift
With the introduction of Instant, most app developers would like to use Instant over Purpose C. Instant also causes it to be less difficult for developers to create applications in a quicker and simpler way. Thus, it becomes essential for both newbies and seasoned iOS app developers to understand and use the new free growth terminology.
Beginners can Understand and Use Instant Easily
Reduced Development Cost
Most developers choose developing applications for iOS and OS X to get higher profits. A variety of reports have also highlighted how iOS causes it to be less difficult for developers to monetize their mobile phone applications and get higher profits. But iOS app growth is often considered to be more expensive than Android app growth. As Apple company is going to make Instant free, the enterprises and developers can now use the growth terminology without paying any licensing fees and royalty. The free growth terminology will further help businesses and independent developers to reduce growth cost significantly.
Emphasis on the Latest Edition of XCode
Before the discharge of XCode 6.0.1, developers have to handle bugs, unexpected mistakes and crashes while composing iOS applications in Instant. But Xcode 6.0.1 made it simpler for developers to create complex iOS applications in the growth 'languages'. For instance, the Instant Interactive Play area included in Xcode 6.0.1 enabled developers to create rule in Instant look the results instantaneously. Also, the rule completion popular features of the Instant Interactive Play area causes it to be less difficult for starters to understand the growth terminology and observe how it interacts with various APIs. So while using Instant 2.0, the developers have to use the most recent form of Xcode and iOS emulator. Apple company is expected launch the upcoming form of Xcode with several new features and functionality to effectuate iOS app growth with Instant.
New Language Features and Enhancement
In inclusion to making Instant 2.0 free, Apple company also includes several terminology features and enhancements in it. Thus, while using the free growth terminology, the developers can avail several new features.
New Error Handling Model: Instant 2.0 will come with a new mistake managing design that is both natural and user-friendly. Moreover to working with Apple company SDKs easily, the mistake managing design will further allow developers to use commonly used keywords like try, catch and throw. Thus, now in other words for developers to confirm and eliminate the mistakes in their rule quickly.
Option to Examine If the API is Appropriate for the Focus on OS: While choosing a specific API, the developers have to confirm its interface with mature editions of target OS. As most APIs do not support mature editions of the os, the developers have to put both persistence to pick the right API that works with the potential OS. The Instant compiler now causes it to be less difficult for developers to confirm the interface of a specific APIs with target operating-system. If the API is not suitable for a more mature form of the OS, the compiler will show an mistake message. The compiler will further allow developers to run the API on suitable OS by wrapping the rule safely using #available blocks.
New Method Extensions: Instant 2 will also come with features to effectuate growth of protocol-oriented applications. Along with adding protocol additions, the free growth terminology also uses these protocols extensively. Instead of using global features, developers can use Instant 2.0 to add methods to common types. Thus, they can easily chain the features naturally, while making the rule more readable.
Better Compatibility with Apple company SDKs: Instant 2.0 is also designed to work easily with various Apple company SDKs. To work better with Apple company SDKs, the free growth terminology will come with two distinct features, i.e., nullability annotations and generics. The developers are not required to use optionals frequently as the annotate API cannot return null. Also, the generic systems used by SDKs will enable developers to store detailed type information directly in the rule.

Owens-Illinois Bottling Plant Cement-Bentonite Cutoff Wall
Project Location: Windsor, Colorado
Project Description:
This project was not the traditional water storage cement-bentonite cutoff wall (slurry wall) Hall-Irwin is known for. The Owner came to Hall-Irwin asking us to help resolve their building problem. O-I's issue was that the groundwater table around their potential building site was too high. They were concerned about water entering their future basement where they were planning keep their boilers which power their entire plant.
Hall-Irwin recommended constructing a cement-bentonite soil cutoff wall to keep the groundwater out of their site and at the same time provide a structural cutoff wall for various surface concerns that they had. Hall-Irwin then was hired to construct a design-build cement-bentonite cutoff wall around the basement area which was 2,500 LF with a maximum depth of 45 FT. After we constructed this cutoff wall, they successfully constructed their building and have not had any water issues.

Charlotte is a freelance film-maker, journalist and media trainer based in Oxford. She works for the BBC, charities, and private clients producing short films, promos, and news broadcasts. She is also a visiting lecturer at Oxford University, teaching courses on filming, interviews and mobile media. She has been working for herself for the last five years.
Q: What is your background? Why are you doing this?
A: I'm a career journalist, I have written for national magazines, newspapers, and reported for national radio and television. I was on contract as a full-time video journalist for BBC South when I had my first child, but quickly realised that working 10 hour shifts and unsociable hours were not a good match with family life. Another baby later, and I decided that if I wanted to continue to do the work I loved, and spend time with my kids, I needed to figure out a way to do it on my own terms.
Q: What is your definition of entrepreneurship?
A: To me, entrepreneurship means you take control of your work. You make the rules.
Q: What made you decide to become an entrepreneur?
A: It was an accident! It was the only way to work the way I wanted. My ideal job did not exist, or I couldn't find it, so created my own position by default.
Q: So what would you say are the top skills that needed to be a successful entrepreneur?
A: Two things: passion and organisation. Passion, because you have to love what you do. It might sound cheesy, but you need to wake up wanting to work. And you have to be highly organised to work for yourself, you are constantly juggling: pitching for jobs, chasing payments, fitting in work around childcare. I'm always making to-do lists!
Q: What is your favourite part of being an entrepreneur?
A: I love the variety. In the space of a week I can find myself reporting live for BBC South TV; teaching post-graduates how to film interviews; and editing a video promo for a charity.
Q: What individual, company or organization inspires you most?
A: Kate Adie, the veteran BBC war correspondent, has always been my ultimate role model. A fearless, bold, intelligent woman who exhibited the most remarkable courage and composure while literally under fire. It was completely inspiring to grow up watching her TV reports, and I've always admired her confidence, clarity and creativity.
Q: If you could have 5 minutes with the above indiv/company/org, what would you want to ask or discuss?
A: I have read all her books, but I would love to know more about what keeps her motivated and how she manages family and work.
Q: What has been your most satisfying or successful moment in business?
A: Recognising my own value. When you are in a salaried role it is easy to believe you are only worth your pay cheque. Now I assess my value differently and it has made me more confident when pitching for work.
Q: What would you say have been some of your mistakes as an entrepreneur?
A: Being too hard on myself. Initially had unrealistic expectations of what I could achieve, and how fast. Now I've learnt when I'm most productive, where and how I work best, precisely how much caffeine I need to fuel my day.
Q: What is good about being an entrepreneur in Oxfordshire? Bad?
A: There is so much positive energy, passion and innovation here, it is incredibly inspiring. I'm constantly coming across people who do the most fascinating jobs, and it is really motivating to hear what other people are doing. I would love to find more entrepreneurial women and working parents to connect with - most networking events are predominantly men.
Q: If a new entrepreneur or startup came to you looking for information or resources in Oxfordshire, where would you send them?
A: The Jericho Cafe on Walton Street! It's my second office. Great coffee, friendly service, and reliable wifi. For a more professional environment, the Oxford Launchpad is perfect.
Q: Any last words of advice?
A: Be open to opportunities. My teaching work at Oxford University came about through a chance coffee with a course co-ordinator. You never know who you're going to meet or how people can help you.
