From cleaner, to loader driver, to dispatcher, Dianne Ngawharau has spent 20 years climbing the ladder at GBC Winstone, where she has enjoyed every minute of it and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Last week, Dianne Ngawharau celebrated 20 years of service with GBC Winstone, a milestone that she says is the best and most memorable part of her working life.
"Through them, I've learnt how to operate machines, do admin work, and despatch truck and trailers, six-wheelers, artics, and tankers," she says.
"They've really got behind me, given me the opportunity to upskill and learn new things.
"I have seen a lot of women climbing the ranks over the years, from when they first start in any role, to when they gain respect from their co-workers, and then do exceptionally well."
She's an all-rounder, loyal, and skilled worker – she's not only a qualified loader, dumper, watercart operator, she knows her way around a digger and can operate and train others in using a weigh bridge.
Currently, she is a Customer Service Rep and spends her days taking and dispatching orders to and from customers - a role she describes as 'pretty much full on every day".
Dianne started her journey with GBC Winstone at Puketutu Quarry on Puketutu Island in 1997 where she was employed as a part time cleaner, joining her mum, dad, and brother who also worked there.
"My dad got me the job - he was the supervisor at the Cleanfill at the time, where my mum was also the spotter and my brother was the main loader operator," she explains.
"Puketutu Quarry used to rent houses on the island and we had one of them, so we were never late!"
There, Dianne graduated from cleaning and went on to drive six-wheelers from hoppers to designated stockpiles onsite, run the crusher, drive the dumper, and then became a permanent loader operator herself.
"It was quite good - there used to be a clubroom onsite at the quarry where we would socialise. We used to even go fishing at the back of the quarry and camp there as well."
Out of the four family members that worked there, Dianne is now the only one working for GBC Winstone.
After she left Puketutu in 2001, Dianne joined the team at the Three Kings Quarry, where she was the main loader operator for eight years, and got the chance to get stuck into some administration.
"Dad used to say to me - "there is always someone out there better than yourself". That little piece of advice helped motivate me to better myself in whatever task I was given," says Dianne.
Since 2008 she's been despatching orders, first with Winstone Transport then Golden Bay Cement, and now with GBC Winstone.
"I have made a lot of friends and memories here," she says, "I played touch rugby in the Fletcher Sevens and enjoyed the cruises we use to take around the harbour.
"My niece is now a weigh bridge operator and administrator at Three Kings Quarry. Fletcher is a very family orientated company to work for and I love it."
Her mum is a woman she admires – having taught her a lot when she was growing up and passed her skills on to Dianne while the family were at Puketutu.
"Women can do anything in the workforce," she says "you just need to be adaptable and resilient but also let yourself be happy.
But also, be confident - remember women are just as good as men."
Some of her other successes at Tradelink include replicating the process and structure of the estimating and quoting department in another state and bringing different departments together to achieve targets and goals as a united team, helping to build the business together and making it better.
"I've had heaps of career highlights over the years," says Mary. "It's rewarding to see the whole process of a project or role being established unfold in front of you, right from the understanding and opportunities, to the implementation of the solution and then seeing the positive results of change."
Over the years, she's noticed more equality and inclusion in the industry for women, as well as more flexibility.
"I'm seeing no preferences for gender nowadays," she says, "generally, there's a much fairer playing field."
When asked about a woman that she admires, she says it's her daughter, Hannah.
"She's ambitious, caring, dedicated, intelligent, down-to-earth, and approachable - I could go on and on," she says.
The best piece of advice she's been given is actually from Tradelink's former General Manager Alan Ball, who said "it's all about the people."
"It's people that make this industry an exciting place to work," Mary says.
"To make it as a woman in the workforce, it's important to have honesty, integrity, ambition, and resilience, but also the 'want' to succeed.
"You have to believe in what are you're doing, believe in the business you're working in, believe in the goals, vision, and values and give it 100%.
"Being a woman in any industry is not a barrier; the only barrier is what you believe."

Fletcher and Coleman ready to hit the ground running
Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:40:08 GMT —
When asked if they foresee any challenges, both Fletcher and Coleman said they aren't worried about much they're just ready to hit the ground running.
In less than two weeks, the Albany City Commission will have two new members representing Ward II and Ward III.
Both Bobby Coleman and BJ Fletcher who will soon be taking their seats on the commission said first and foremost they want to see a change in this community.
BJ Fletcher said, "I just love Albany. I was born here, I love seniors and we have a lot of those in this community, and we've got a lot of good people and we've got to change our image a little bit."
Bobby Coleman told FOX 31, "I grew up in Albany and I've seen the neglect. I've seen certain areas of the city grow and other areas at a standstill so I think me and the people of the ward can make everybody be reflected in the city's agenda."
For Coleman the first thing he plans on working on is creating jobs, "My goal while I'm on the commission is to see the progression of Albany, to see Albany turn the corner on industry and attract jobs." And for Fletcher she says, "I've been doing my homework on the issues and the first thing I want to do is neighborhood watches. I've learned from the best of them and we're scattered out in my ward and I'm setting up my website so they'll know exactly when the neighborhood watches are taking place."
When asked if they foresee any challenges, both Fletcher and Coleman said they aren't worried about much they're just ready to hit the ground running.
Both get sworn in on January 13th at 6:30 p.m.

Long-term Calorie Restriction: Can It Help You Live Longer?
Can your diet help you live longer? Scientists have yet to discover the "fountain of youth"there is no way to prevent, stop or reverse aging. But research has highlighted some strategies than can slow down aging and prolong lifespan up to 60 percent in experimental animals. Based on science that goes back 70 years, the most definitive way to increase lifespan in rodents is through long-term calorie restriction (CR) without malnutrition, according to a March 2009 scientific review published in Current Opinion in Gastroenterology.

You inspire me to learn more about myself, like how you don't read anything over two sentences long. I too can get along in life with cliffs on everything.

Get to know your Second Earth Army.
This brutal humanoid battle machine crushes everything in his path with a huge and heavy hammer. He endures enemy's attack very well, thanks to his tough and muscular physical condition.
Thanks to her bio-tech enhanced eyes, she takes down enemies with rapid and accurate aiming. She uses a customized rifle to shoot enemies from great distances.
Robo was originally designed to collect resources instead of combat itself. Due to its powerful servos, Robo can quickly ravage its main objective… the enemy's resources.
Wild Crab
Due to its high durability, the Wild Crab is an iconic terror to its enemy's defensive systems. Despite its slow movement, the heavy armor allows them to always remain in the front lines.
Spider is a self-detonating unit which uses specialized AI and explosives for mining work. Its duty is breaking down the enemy's defense wall to secure an infiltration route for allies.
Thunder, a climate control satellite that's been weaponized, summons powerful lightning above the enemy's defenses. Be careful when deploying it in consideration of its slow speed and weak armor.
Chief carries a portable RPG for bombing the ground and air. He inflicts massive area effect damage that terrifies enemies.
Ambulance sprays plasma with nano machines to reconstruct damaged armor and tissue. Nano machines can mend humanoids as well as machines.
Dark Angel
This enormous battleship is the pinnacle of NSEF technology. Raining massive splash damage from high above, most enemies will find trouble trying to even reach her.
HADES is the most advanced ground unit the NSEF has ever produced. Nicknamed, "The Warrior from Hell", no one has ever dared to challenge the legitimacy of the title.
Assassins are armed with the most advanced stealth equipment. This allows them to travel in stealth and scale over the walls. Once the Assassin attacks, it will lose its stealth capabilities.
These reckless special units attack enemies with a flamethrower, which heats up to 3,000 degrees. It will burn hotter as its HP gets lower. Literally a fiery personality.
Heavy, a unit developed to protect its allies from enemy tower attacks, can withdraw a great deal of damage. It rushes towards its foe after deployment, and also very effective in attacking walls as well.
Bomb Capsule
This capsule detonates an EMP shockwave at a nearby area, disabling all structures within the vicinity. Upgrading this capsule will increase its damage.
Heal Capsule
Drop this capsule to heal your damaged troops! This capsule contains Nano machines that help reconstruct damaged tissues and armors.
Power Capsule
This Capsule's formula has been discovered accidentally by the NSEF scientists. It has been found to enhance the speed and attack damage of units. The NSEF scientist are afraid of what will happen if other forces learn the secret formula.

The creators of BrandBounty, which launched earlier this year, were at a TechCrunch Disrupt gathering of technology startups in San Francisco to show off an application they designed to transform "consumers into brand vigilantes." The application makes a game of sorts out of exposing counterfeit goods. People can score points and win prizes by using smartphones to submit pictures, descriptions or other "tips" about apparent knock-offs or piracy. Brands sponsor contests or reward programs and get any resulting real-time intelligence about possible abuses in the market. "The age-old problem with brand enforcement is a lack of eyes in the ground," said Jonathan Gonen, co-founder of the company born out of a Los Angeles-based accelerator called StartupMinds. "With BrandBounty, we now have a simple, fun, and effective solution that turns smart consumers into brand watchdogs." Counterfeiting and piracy cost the US economy an estimated $1.2 to $1.7 trillion dollars last year, according to Gonen. A version of BrandBounty was available at the App Store for Apple gadgets with applications tailored for Android smartphones to be available in the coming months. © 1994-2012 Agence France-Presse Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Read More: smartphones CEO Biggest Mistakes application BrandBounty /overseas/11/24/17/pope-francis-faces-diplomatic-dilemma-in-myanmar-visit/overseas/11/24/17/mugabe-granted-immunity-sources-say/overseas/11/24/17/gang-beheaded-man-cut-heart-near-washington/overseas/11/24/17/zimbabweans-relish-bribe-free-roads-after-mugabes-fall/entertainment/11/24/17/dont-lose-yourself-georgina-shares-ways-to-be-a-relaxed-mom

If you are joining me here, I've been blogging about ten hesitations that face families who are considering Home Education. If you want to check out the rest of the series you can go (here, here, here and here). In this post I am going to address what to do when you feel ill equipped to teach a given subject.
Home Education is different from traditional institution-based education in many ways. For one thing, in home education you live with your students. 24-7. As a matter of fact, you gave birth to them or adopted them. They are yours. They don't "go home" at the end of the day. Now in most school settings (not including Little House on the Prairie) each teacher specializes in a given grade. No teacher in a public school in this era teaches both 2nd grade and 6th grade -- on the same day -- in the same classroom -- while nursing a baby and trying to occupy her toddler. Yes, there are differences between homeschool and public school.
So, as a home educator, you will have a variety of levels and topics you are teaching simultaneously. I discussed this in a previous post and suggested ideas on how to combine some things to make your own life a bit easier. The question comes up: Concern #8 - "I don't even remember how to do algebra, how will I teach it to my child?" So you feel somewhat ill equipped to teach certain subjects. You are not alone. Maybe you don't even feel comfortable teaching your child how to read. Maybe it is Math or Science that gives you both the chills and hot flashes. There is hope.
I have found in our experience home educating that we go through the material together much of the time. I say "much of the time," because there are seasons (like when you have a new baby or when the infant turns into a toddler and is constantly trying to demolish your home) when you can not give full attention to every minute of home education. There are times when your child will just be learning some things on their own. That is just okay -- it's actually better than okay. Independent learning is the precursor to life-long self-motivated pursuit of knowledge. When our younger son was becoming a toddler, I would often hand a book I had pre-selected to my then eight year old son and say, "Read chapter six in this and come tell me what you learned." Outside of that kind of chaotic season, we often read much of our material together. The benefit of this is that I am actually refreshing my own knowledge at the same time that my son is learning something for the first time.
There are many subjects (especially now that he is older and studies more things on his own) that I just can't keep up with at the same pace that he can. He reads and comes and tells me what he learned in those areas. When he gets stuck on something -- such as Math, we go to a website like Khan Academy and watch a video about that area. If I don't know how to explain something, the people at Khan do (and they do a great job!) and I can watch the video with my son so that we are both brought up to speed.
In other areas, we have chosen to "outsource" our learning. We are in a science co-op which uses an agreed textbook and materials each year. The moms take turns teaching. If I am not familiar with the subject I am scheduled to teach, I take time to brush up on it through reading and research. But, the benefit of the co-op is I only have to do that three times a year instead of all year round since other moms are teaching all the other weeks of the year.
There are online supports for all kinds of things nowadays. You can get involved in an online academy where your child does distance learning and has a teacher with whom they meet via a web chat monthly. There are also great educational videos on all kinds of subjects available at You Tube, Discovery Education and other sites.
The local college campuses have students who are majoring in subjects in which you may not have expertise. You can contact that department and ask if there are students who would like to earn some extra money tutoring. Actually, sometimes High-School Aged homeschoolers like to tutor as well. And, there are even other homeschool moms who want to earn some extra income and will tutor children beyond their own family. You can look into asking High School teachers as well. Some of them are open to earning extra income by tutoring in their area of specialty.
I don't want to forget to mention that sometimes a husband has knowledge in areas that the wife doesn't have or vice versa. There was a season wherein my husband sat with our son to do Science projects every Tuesday evening after supper. Now, my husband isn't a science whiz, but he does understand electricity (and I don't really understand it all that much, though, thanks to home schooling, I know a lot more than I used to). He and my son were studying electricity and magnetism together. I had started the unit with my son, but our then two-year-old would try to get into all the batteries and wires every time we got things out to work on, so I asked my husband and he gladly pitched in. Sometimes immediate or extended family members can provide instruction in areas where you cannot. You don't have to be a one-man-band.
In our town there is a resource center for homeschool families which offers courses (for a fee) which go all the way through High School. You can enroll your child in various courses and there are options such as Writing a Research Paper, Calculus, Biology and others. Sometimes Private Schools have homeschool options where a family pays a fee to homeschool under the umbrella of that school. As a part of that package, the student can take one or more classes at the High School.
You don't need to know everything to home educate. Much of the knowledge you explore with your child will trigger memories of what you learned years ago. I have learned so much more about European History and about Science than I remember learning as a child. I have learned it with my children. And, there are so many supports outside your home to fill in the blanks if there are areas in which you do not feel proficient. None of us is a master of all subjects. What you need is a love for your child and a willingness to pull together what your child will need and you can provide a wonderful and rich education from home.

A response to the LSB draft statutory guidance on legal education
The Training and Education Committee of the City of London Law Society (CLLS), of which I am a member, has just written a strongly worded response to the proposal by the Legal Services Board (LSB) to issue statutory guidance to the front line regulators, in our case the SRA, about legal education. In a world where most CLLS submissions start by welcoming the paper about which the submission is written, why would the CLLS ask for this one to be withdrawn?
Not all readers will know about the LSB. It was created under the Legal Services Act to supervise the new "modified self regulation" of legal services professions recommended in the review conducted by Sir David Clementi. It was very busy following the introduction of the new regime, but much less so now that the approved regulators are up and running (although it recently allowed the accountants to authorise legal services practitioners). It is body that approves (or not) new rules proposed by the front line regulators (such as the SRA for solicitors).
The CLLS felt that the LSB had no role in creating any new rules for legal education, unless the front line regulators were somehow failing in their jobs, and there is no evidence of that. Nor did it consult on whether it should issue new rules, which it should have done, but merely on the content of the new rules.
Critically, it dismissed the report of the massive Legal Education and Training Review (LETR) as just one piece of evidence. The LETR is one of the most substantial reviews of legal education ever undertaken, anywhere. So we felt that the LSB was misdirecting itself on the nature of evidence and failing to behave as a modern evidence-led regulator. In passing, we thought that the LETR report was well thought out and sensible, but not, of course, perfect.
We also had serious concerns about some of the proposed rules. The CLLS has been a strong supporter of new ways for people to join the profession, including what are becoming known as "legal apprenticeships". We entirely support the need for less burdensome and costly ways for people from all backgrounds to become solicitors. We were not opposed to the aspirations of the LSB in this direction, although we had doubts whether its specific proposals would work.
But critically, as statute law fills up so many new volumes, and law becomes more complex and changes more rapidly, we feel it is no time to lower overall standards, or to educate people for specific roles only where such roles may not exist in a few years time. We are also concerned that legal education should address ethics and all of the objectives set out in the Legal Services Act, not just some of them. So we felt that the rather crude proposals of the LSB did not address the issues that face our member firms. We compete head on with the elite of the world's legal professions, very successfully, and a large part of the reason is the excellent training of our lawyers. We do not want to see that damaged.
The CLLS has had a good relationship with the LSB, and wants this to continue, so our hope is that our disagreement is only a blip.

The president of the University of South Florida today told two state senators who have asked for audits of USF Polytechnic that she would be pleased to work with them "on any initiative" that might help toward the goal of overseeing finances.
LAKELAND | The president of the University of South Florida today told two state senators who have asked for audits of USF Polytechnic that she would be pleased to work with them "on any initiative" that might help toward the goal of overseeing finances.
Judy Genshaft wrote a letter to Senators Paula Dockery, R-Lakeland, and Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, in response to their request for an investigation into money spent by USF Polytechnic Regional Chancellor Marshall Goodman.
In the letter, she outlined the financial duties that belong exclusively to USF's regional campuses, such as USF Poly in Lakeland, under direction the campus chief executive officers and campus boards. The CEO at each regional campus is authorized to administer campus operations within the annual operating budget, Genshaft said.
The state's auditor has performed three annual financial audits of USF Poly, she said.
"I must stress, however, that while these audits account for expenditures, they do not comment on the prudence of each expenditure, which seemed to be the general concern expressed in your letter," she wrote to the senators.
"As discussed above, the Legislature has vested directly with the Campus CEO the authority and responsibility to exercise sound business judgment in the expenditure of the state funds provided directly to his campus."
Goodman has not directly addressed the senators' request, but a USF Poly official has previously responded by pointing out that audits already are routinely done and that financial information is available online or by request.
Genshaft briefly referred to the controversy that currently surrounds the polytechnic. Goodman and others involved with USF Poly have asked the State University System of Florida Board of Governors to separate the campus from the USF system and make it a standalone school.
"Like you, we at USF recognize the great need at anytime — but most especially during the current time — to be careful stewards of scarce state resources," Genshaft wrote. "I would be pleased to work with you on any initiative that could help increase state universities' Boards of Trustees' oversight authority for state finances provided to their institutions.
Dockery and Fasano have questioned spending by Goodman, including plans to have a $500,000 video documentary produced to market the polytechnic and the status of student fee money some students have said was not properly allocated.
On Tuesday, Dockery said "While I was disappointed that President Genshaft and her financial team are unable to perform a thorough audit of public expenditures at USF Polytechnic, I understand that (Florida laws) grant USF Polytechnic financial autonomy."
"Senator Fasano and I do plan to seek financial information in some manner in the near future."

I have a problem migrating a simulator coded in F77 from a Sun/Solaris platform into a Linux/Slackware platform running in a WMWare image on a PC.
I used Intel Fortan Composer XE on the Linux image.
This might seem like a challenging task, but actually it worked quite fine at a first glance.
The code compiled (after some minor modifications) and executed really fast compared to the execution on the Sun platform.
But, running some benchmark simulations, the results were not quite identical to the same in the old environment (in some cases).
I suspect it's related to floating point computations that are not conformant.
I switched Linux Slackware image to a 64-bit version, and the same with the compiler, but no difference.
The amount of compiler switches in the Intel compiler must be something of a record :-) I spent a lot of time trying different switches, and could notice differences in the result, but never came to the same result as the benchmark.
The switches in the Sun platform are:
F77 –c –O –N160 *.f
... and in the Linux:
Ifort –c –assume old_logical_ldio –fkeep-static-consts –fpscomp all –intconstant –align all –save –extend-source 132 *.f
Does anybody have a clue what I should try next?

Survey: Why physicians shy away from government practice
Only about one-third of physicians (36 percent) would seriously consider a career change to a government-employed practice setting, such as the VA, military or corrections, according to a survey from The Medicus Firm.
Almost as many respondents (29 percent) said they would definitely not consider it, and the remaining third were neutral or unsure, according to the report.
Respondents cited the following as top reasons hindering them from government employment. The firm collected responses from 429 participants.
- 78 percent of respondents said government-employed compensation was not competitive enough
- 58.5 percent cited the lack of autonomy in government-employed settings.
- 56.1 percent said the quality of patient care in government-employed settings would deter them.
- 47.6 percent cited the work environment as a possible deterrent.
- 41.5 percent had staffing concerns
- 32.9 percent felt the benefits were not competitive
- 28 percent reported issues with applying to government jobs and getting feedback during the hiring process in the comments section of the survey
- Respondents were least concerned about work-life balance, patient mix, relocation and patient volume.
If respondents did go into government practice, most would prefer VA jobs (61.8 percent) before military jobs (33.1 percent) or corrections and other government jobs (16 percent), according to the report.
"Unfortunately, many physicians view any type of employment as a 'necessary evil' of today's healthcare environment, as the industry has grown decreasingly conducive for private practice, with overhead costs skyrocketing and reimbursements declining," Jim Stone, president of The Medicus Firm, said in the report. "Many tell us that, in a perfect world, they'd rather own their own practice, yet they find today's healthcare market and economy prohibitive, especially if they want to have any semblance of work-life balance."

Van Vleck 14, Hitchcock 1 (5)
VAN VLECK — The Hitchcock Bulldogs had no answers in a loss to Van Vleck on Monday in District 26-2A play.
Michael Parker hit a leadoff home run for the Bulldogs, and Jared Mancuso, Logan Holt and Drager Landry added singles, but it was nowhere near enough offense.
Mancuso started the game on the mound for Hitchcock and lasted one inning. He allowed five runs — one earned — on three hits and walked three batters.
Kyle Cook relieved and went the rest of the way, giving up nine runs — six earned — on 12 hits with a walk and four strikeouts.

Clear Creek 4, Clear Springs 2
LEAGUE CITY — Wildcats starter Zach Esquivel kept the Chargers' bats at bay, allowing just two runs — one earned — on three hits and striking out five in seven inning for a District 24-5A win Tuesday.
Esquivel seriously flirted with a no-hitter, surrendering his first hit with one out in the seventh inning.
Harrison Hill had a hit and drove in two runs for Clear Creek, and teammate Stephen Garcia had one RBI.
Tyrone Thomas and Jacob Vasquez each drove in a run for Clear Springs.

Clear Lake 4, Dickinson 3
DICKINSON — The Gators couldn't quite keep up with Clear Lake on Tuesday, losing a close District 24-5A contest.
Trailing 4-1, Dickinson scored twice in the bottom of the fourth — on a wild pitch and an errant throw following a single — to pull within one. The Gators had runners on first and second base with no outs in the seventh and advanced a runner all the way to third but failed to bring home the tying run.
Joey Silvas went 3-for-4 with a double for Dickinson, and Joel White had a hit and one RBI.
Joel McDonald doubled and drove in two runs for Clear Lake.

Classes resume despite student swine flu case
ACT Health says it is safe for students to attend a Canberra school today after a student tested positive to swine influenza.
The six-year-old girl from Florey Primary School is the 23rd Canberran to test positive to the H1N1 virus.
Sixty-eight of her kindergarten classmates remain in home isolation today.
All those students have been tested and some have been given anti-viral medication.
But Health Minister Katy Gallagher says all other classes at the school will resume this morning as normal.
"The rest of the school population can go to school but we will review this again this afternoon pending the results of further testing," she said.
"If there are further confirmed cases at the school, then we will need to make some further decisions about that.
"I think early intervention here has assisted hopefully in the amount of disruption that school or class exclusion will place on families."
The number of ACT swine flu cases has doubled in the last week and Ms Gallagher says it is only going to increase.
"We've gone very quickly from 10 to 23 cases and look there's a list of probable cases that I've been advised about as well," she said.
"So we expect the numbers will continue to rise."

This is what I was looking for ages.
The story starts 5 years ago when Jenny Lewis and Jonathan Rise, two artists bumped into each other in Los Angeles where they had to record different stuff, but they took the chance to play their respective recordings. Right in this moment, a very precious and creative partnership was born: Johnny toured with the band of Jenny (the Rabbit Fur Coat), Jenny helped Johnny writing songs and they finally ended up Having Fun now, together in life and in tour with their group called Jenny and Johnny, indeed.
Their last creation sounds loose, mirrors the sunny California beaches, feels the good vibrations and the energy of the all-instruments-playing duo. Yet, the cool tunes sometimes cast big issue like the economic crisis as in the song Big Wave. But, as long as the two are singing together, the crisis can wait and let forget everything with other songs like Scissor Runner.
So, if you want to have fun with them, you can take a flight and go to Minehead where they're going to play at the APT Festival, the 12th of December, along with Wild Beasts (luv them), Best Coast, Foals, Belle and Sebastian and many many others.
Check them out.

During the summer of 2015, in the context of the largest refugee crisis since World War II, the flow of migrants reaching Italy by boat and headed overland for northern Europe is abruptly interrupted by the closure of the French border on June the 8th 2015. Within a few days, near the Italian border town of Ventimiglia, a crowd of 200-300 migrants is formed. On June the 11th, the Italian police attempts to forcibly deport them. Many resist and take shelter on the rocks, creating a first makeshift camp a few metres from the posh French Riviera town of Menton.
Two months later, the makeshift camp has been moved in a shady parking lot a few hundreds metres away from the rocks. A group of activists from Italy and France joined forces with the migrants stranded at the border, and together they built a sort of atypical refugee camp, a self-managed community providing hospitality, relief and advice to migrants in a solidary environment. In this space, delimited by the sea, the border and the railway to France, migrants have the opportunity to regain strength and to be treated again with respect and love after days, weeks or even months of travel, often under inhumane conditions.
Among infinite dreams, stories, hopes and uncertainties, one thing is clear to all: nobody is going back.
PHOTO ESSAY (Jul – Aug 2015)
My family lives in the eastern area of Sudan, where there is war against the government.
From Sudan I borrowed $500 to reach Libya by car. The situation there was too dangerous, a war between different groups was ongoing. So I worked to repay my debts and I borrowed $600 more to pay for the boat to reach Italy. After 10 hours at sea we where rescued by a boat that took us to Sardinia. And from there we where transferred to Rome. To finally get to Ventimiglia I took the train. In total it took me almost one year to get here.
I tried several times to cross the border, but I was caught by the police and brought back. I will try again because I want to go to England or Sweden and ask for asylum.
In Libya I gave money to a man to pay for the boat ride ($870) and he took me and other people to a farm where he told us to wait, but it was a scam. After 21 days the man said that who had the money can go but who doesn't must stay in the farm in Libya and work to raise the money. So I was forced to stay 4 more months to pay again for the trip. I ended up paying an extra $1.200.
After the boat arrived to Sicily I reached Ventimiglia on a bus and, after crossing the border, I was arrested in Menton by the police and brought back to Ventimiglia. Of course I will try to cross again. I want to go to England via Paris, but if I don't succeed I could also go to the Netherlands.
BEFORE/AFTER SERIES (Jul – Nov 2015)
The camp is evicted by the Italian police on September the 30th 2015. On the morning of the eviction, in a last symbolic act of resistance migrants and activists took shelter again on the rocks, as the day when the camp was born. Only after an entire day of negotiations they agreed to leave the border area. The migrants were transferred to the Red Cross shelter at Ventimiglia train station. The activists returned to their daily lives, some of them with charges for illegal occupation of public land.
In early November 2015, the police seals surrounding the seized area are among the few remaining traces of the camp. The following before/after series, witnessing an absence, focuses on the dramatic landscape mutation of the border area after the camp eviction.
The history of the camp narrated by its own protagonists in a multimedia piece integrating still photography, video footage and audio interviews.

Deferring your state pension

Deferring your state pension
Find out whether it's worth delaying your state pension. Which? outlines the pros and cons to help you decide.
Although you can't start taking your state pension before state pension age (63 for women and age 65 for men in 2017/18), you can delay when you start receiving it.
Doing so could result in you receiving a higher weekly state pension, or even a lump-sum payment.
You can defer your pension for as long as you want, but you must defer the whole thing – basic state pension plus any additional state pension you've built up.
You can start deferring your pension even if you've already started drawing it, in order to earn extra money from it.
This guide explains how it works and whether or not you'll actually be any better off.
Go further: Working in retirement - an extensive list of things to consider
Deferring your state pension - the basics
If you want to try to boost your state pension by delaying when you receive it, you'll have to put off claiming it for at least five weeks.
For every five weeks you defer, you'll get a pension increase of 1%. This works out at 10.4% for every full year.
- If you've hit state pension age before 6 April 2016 and just received the basic state pension of £122.30 a week, over a year you'd earn £6,359.60.
- Deferring for a year will see you increase your annual state pension to £7,021.00, or £135.02 a week, an increase of £661 a year.
The extra amount will be taxed in the same way as the rest of your state pension.
For people qualifying for the state pension after April 2016, the rate of annual increase falls from 10.4% to 5.8%, making the offer less attractive. These people will have to live for around 17 years to benefit from the decision to defer for one year, compared with an extra 10 years at the current rate of interest.
Taking your pension as a lump sum
You can delay taking your state pension and receive it as lump sum, but you'll have to defer for at least a year in order to get the lump sum payment. For those qualifying for the state pension on or after 6 April 2016, this option disappears.
It's worked out as if you had put the deferred pension into a savings account where it earned 2% above the base rate (currently 0.25%) using a compound interest calculation.
- So if you've hit state pension age before 6 April 2016 and just received the basic state pension of £122.30 a week, over a year you'd earn £6,359.60.
- Deferring for a year will see you able to take a lump sum of around £6,503.
Like the extra pension, the lump sum is also taxable, but only at the top rate you were paying beforehand. You won't move into a higher tax bracket.

Should you defer your state pension?
If you have retirement income from other places, such as a workplace pension scheme, deferring your state pension might be a good deal - you could treat it like a really good savings account.
Deferring may also appeal if you've retired to a country where your state pension isn't subject to the UK's annual increases, such as Australia.
However, deferring your state pension for a year only really pays off around nine or 10 years after you decided to take your pension, increasing to 17 years after April 2016. You're giving up more than £6,300 in income each year, so it will take some time for that to build back up again.
Take your health into consideration - if you're fit and healthy, you could end up with much more money as you get older.
Go further: How much will you need to retire? - this guide will help you plan a budget
Deferring your state pension and benefits
Claiming extra state pension will affect any benefits you receive, such as pension credit, house benefit and council-tax reduction. This is because the extra amount you get counts as income. However, if you decide to take a lump sum, these benefits won't be affected.
If you're deferring your state pension, you won't build up any lump sum or extra pension for the days you're receiving any of the following benefits:
- income support
- pension credit
- employment support allowance
- jobseeker's allowance
- carer's allowance
- incapacity benefit
- severe disablement allowance
- widow's pension
- widowed mother's allowance
- any type of state pension.
Should I take extra income or a lump sum?
This all depends on your circumstances and what you want to spend the money on.
The extra pension offers the best deal at the moment, as the interest rate on offer - at 10.4% a year (falling to 5.8% in 2016) - far outstrips anything you could earn on a savings account.
However, if you're in receipt of any of the above benefits, you might want to think carefully about taking the extra income in case they're affected.

I shared with you in last week's Monday's Mystery Recipe, that I was into The Grilling Season, by Diane Mott Davidson, so I'm excited to share my first recipe from that book, Babsie's Tarts. I had a fairly difficult time deciding which recipe to try and share with you, but due to time constraints, the decision was easily made for me. These tarts are really quick and easy to prepare and very tasty! You could also substitute any kind of jam in this recipe, if you prefer something else.
I tried them with both the powdered sugar and with a little vanilla ice cream and both were delicious. The hubby also enjoyed them, so that was a bonus! So, this week's Monday's Mystery Recipe is Babsie's Tarts, from the Diane Mott Davidson novel, The Grilling Season.
April 23rd, 2012
Babsie's Tarts
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cups fine granulated sugar
2 egg yolks, room temperature
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
zest from one lemon
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cup package of blanched, slivered almonds, finely ground
1 15.5 oz jar of seedless raspberry jam
Preheat the oven to 350°. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the egg yolks, vanilla, and lemon zest. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as you are mixing.
Whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture and stir until well-combined. Add the finely ground almonds and mix until combined.
Prepare two, 12-cup muffin tins by spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Using a small cookie scoop (about 2 Tbsp size), scoop dough into 24 muffin cups. (Mine made exactly 24.) Pat the dough evenly around in the bottom of the muffin tin. You don't want there to be an indention in the dough, just even it out.
Next, use a teaspoon to measure out 2 teaspoons of raspberry jam onto the top of each section of dough. Work your way around until you've added jam to each tin.
Once all the tins have jam, pop them in the oven for 15-16 minutes or until the dough raises up around the jam and is slightly brown around the edges.
Once the tarts come out of the oven, allow them to cool in the pans until cool to the touch, about an hour. The tarts are soft when they come out of the oven and might be too tender to take out while still warm. I let mine cool right at an hour and had to be very careful taking them out of the pans. To get the tarts out of the pan, a pointed offset spatula, worked really well, or you could use a sharp knife, as long as it has a fairly long, pointed blade.

Strategy: Formalize the loan in writing. In particular, make sure you charge the going interest rate and spell out all the key terms in the document. Otherwise, you risk losing your "seed money" for the venture.
Even worse, you might be forced to pay tax on interest income you never actually receive!
Here's the whole story: If you lend a relative more than $10,000 and you don't charge any interest (or you charge a below-market interest rate), the IRS follows a three-step process under the "imputed interest" rules: It treats the transaction as if you had:
• Charged interest to the borrower.
• Made the borrower a cash gift of the "interest element."
• Actually received interest in retur...(register to read more)

Manson Family Movies Trailer (1979)
In response to the legend that the "Manson Family" may have filmed themselves in some of theirs exploits, this film is a re-creation as to what a film of their may have been like. The film, shot in a piecemeal fashion, is an intentionally amateurish faux "home movie" of the events leading up to, and including, the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders.

text: How do you guys feel about graphics that only say a company name, with perhaps an image, etc. BUT not including a telephone number or location of business? I'm thinking of having a vinyl graphic made up, but don't know if I want to just do the company name - image, or if I should incorporate a location and number.. I understand it's essentially free advertisement to have the number on there, but something about just my company name is concise and almost has its own professional feel to it. What do you all think? Try not to rip me a new ******* here, I've had my name and my number/location on my trucks for 6 years now, it's not new to me... Started a new company in a new location, gotta get some sort of sign on there soon any how.

The Ultimate Experience of the Dark Knight
Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. The game features an unique combination of melee combat, stealth, investigative and speed-based challenge gameplay. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.
Become the Dark Knight - Batman: ArkhamCity delivers a genuinely authentic Batman experience with advanced, compelling gameplay on every level: high-impact street brawls, nail-biting stealth, multifaceted forensic investigation, epic super-villain encounters and unexpected glimpses into Batman's tortured psychology.
Play as Catwoman - Catwoman is a fully playable character in Batman: Arkham City who has her own storyline in the main game which is seamlessly interwoven with Batman's story arc. Her navigation skills, combat moves and gadgetry have been specifically designed to deliver a fully featured and unique experience.
Advanced FreeFlow Combat - Batman faces highly coordinated, simultaneous attacks from every direction as Arkham's gangs bring heavy weapons and all-new AI to the fight, but Batman steps it up with twice the number of combat animations and double the range of attacks, counters and takedowns.
New Gadgets - Batman has access to new gadgets such as the Cryptographic Sequencer V2 and Smoke Pellets, as well as new functionality for existing gadgets that expand the range of Batman's abilities without adding extra weight to his Utility Belt.
New Story - Five-time Emmy-Award-winner Paul Dini returns to pen a brand-new story for Batman: Arkham City, taking gamers deep inside the diseased heart of Gotham.
Arkham Has Moved - Following the closure of Arkham Asylum and Blackgate prison, Gotham's new mayor, Quincy Sharp ordered the relocation of all inmates to Arkham City - a sprawling new super-prison five times bigger than Arkham Island, enclosing a wide variety of industrial districts, iconic locations and Gotham landmarks.
Huge Cast of Characters - Players encounter numerous characters from the Batman universe, including Catwoman, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, Penguin, Hugo Strange, Victor Zsasz, Calendar Man, The Joker, The Riddler and other iconic characters yet to be revealed.

Once he reached "critical mass," it was time for layout—by hand. Yes, in a world of InDesign and computer domination, Kahn still does book layout using an inexpensive color copy machine and removable Scotch tape. He enlarges the pictures, tapes them down and prints the text in two or three columns to figure out how it will fit.
"It works pretty good," he says. "That way I don't have to be locked into the requirements of the computer, and it's different for your mind."
He's been doing layout like this for years, ever since compiling his first book, Domebook One, in 1970, while working as editor for the Whole Earth Catalog. The book was based on Kahn's experience as a carpenter, building domes inspired by Buckminster Fuller. But after discovering domes didn't work the way they were supposed to, Kahn took the book out of publication and traveled to Canada and Europe to study the roots of building.
Upon returning, Kahn created the book Shelter, which has sold 270,000 copies since its publication in 1973. The book explores the history of hand-building from early man to modern times and includes building instructions for all kinds of shelters, from yurts to cabins.
Shelter Publications became a full-time endeavor with the publication of the book, and in 1978 Kahn published Shelter II. At the dawn of the Reagan era, the company began focusing on books about stretching, weight training and running marathons—not a far leap, since Kahn himself is an athlete. He still runs to this day, and has surfed for 50 years. At the young age of 65, he took up skateboarding (you can find online videos of Kahn dominating a hill on a longboard, white hair streaming behind). Then a little over 10 years ago, Kahn felt the urge to create books on building again, and he ended up publishing Homework: Handbuilt Shelter in 2004.
"All along, it's made sense to me for people to build and create their own shelter with their own hands—that never will change," says Kahn. "Your computer is not going to build your house for you, and you still use your 10 digits and a hammer and saw, even if it's an electric saw and a nail gun."
Kahn does acknowledge that it can be difficult for owner-builders in Marin and Sonoma counties, where building permits can cost exorbitant fees.
"Where I live now, it's pretty much impossible for anybody other than a millionaire to build," says Kahn. "The building permits in season in Marin County are $50,000."
Fortunately, the San Francisco native reaches beyond his own home to find inspiration, as seen in Tiny Homes, with its photos of joyous, small-space livers and builders across the country and the world, people who've bucked the system and done things their own way—just like Lloyd Kahn.
"I still never got discouraged," says Kahn. "I think that whatever is going on politically, you still need food and shelter. Maybe the biggest incentive, I think, is to avoid mortgage or high rents."
