text: 'This book explores the work and career of Michael Wilding, one of the most significant literary figures in modern Australia. His oeuvre includes eleven volumes of short stories, several novels and memoirs, important editions of both Australian and English authors, and critical works on writers ranging from John Milton to Christina Stead. Through a close study of Wilding's short stories, novels, and memoirs this book traces the development of a complex aesthetic of "instant experience" or "immediate experience." . After moving from England to Australia as a young man, Wilding abandoned the high formalism of Henry James, an early influence, for a more fluid, informal, immediate, vernacular prose more in line with Jack Kerouac. The Jamesian influence was strongest in his first volume of fiction, Aspects of the Dying Process (1972). The Kerouacian influence dominated in some of the stories in The West Midland Underground (1975) and in novels such as Scenic Drive (1976). During those years Wilding produced fiction about the contemporary scene as it was happening around him, in the lively protest/counter culture environment of Sydney in the Sixties and Seventies. That meant writing, in part, about sexual relations in frank, open terms, and Wilding and his circle opened up Australian fiction, moving it away from "the wide brown land" tradition to a more urban, contemporary, experimental scene. Many of Wilding's stories were either written "for" someone or "at" someone. Those written "at" someone were often directed at a recurring figure such as a character named variously Joe, Wendell, or Holmes, Wilding's names for his friend and fellow writer, Frank Moorhouse. Wilding also wrote stories "at" Vicki Viidikas, another friend and talented writer from the counterculture. Wilding's contribution to the creation of modern Australian writing can also be seen in the formation of a small press, Wild & Woolley, in 1972. Wilding and his partner, Pat Woolley, published numerous poets and fiction writers, thus furthering the production and circulation of new writing. Wilding has continued his three-fold career into the present. Since 2000 he has produced a number of novels and two memoirs; he has also written studies of Australian literary traditions; and finally, he is active in a new publishing venture, Press On. Wilding has been a major force in Australian letters for half a century, a true man of letters in every sense. . By looking at Wilding's long and distinguished career, this book brings to the attention of a new generation of readers the quality and scope of his accomplishments in imaginative writing, scholarship, and publishing. Throughout this study the author draws upon extensive email exchanges with Wilding regarding his memories of those days and the stories and novels that resulted. His comments shed a unique perspective on his works and ideas from the beginning of his career until the present.'

Starting A Business – Be Your Own Boss
The leap to self employment
Starting a business, and being your own boss is an attractive thought to many. Yet the prospect of giving up a secure monthly income, scares many of us, to the point that many of us never take the plunge. This is my personal story…
Mid-Life Crisis
Changing careers in your 40s, 50s and 60s
People laugh about others having a mid-life crisis, yet for those experiencing such a phenomenon, it can be exhilarating and scary at the same time. Mike had worked for the same organisation for over twenty years. He was a senior manager, well respected and up until very recently had felt reasonably fulfilled.
Confidence – I am an Imposter
Confidence debilitators
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts."
Lack of confidence or Imposter Syndrome, is a common feeling, yet few people who suffer from it recognise it. Alice contacted me with regard to coaching. At our chemistry session I asked her what she would cite as her greatest achievement to date, did she feel proud of what she had accomplished? Alice took a deep breath and told me she felt like a fraud?
This was a pivotal moment for Alice; she had never admitted this to anyone before. Alice has an impressive CV; a graduate who has worked for a number of high profile charities, and with each job move she had secured a promotion. She was now Head of a large team with six direct reports. Alice confided that with each promotion came the fear that, one day, her cover would be blown, and everyone would find out that her career was down to serendipity, and she was Head of Department by mistake?
If, like Alice, you experience feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, you may be surprised to learn that you are not alone. This is typically known as Impostor Syndrome and is often associated with high achievers. The more of an expert you become in a particular area, the more aware you will be of the gaps in your knowledge. Likewise, the more successful you are, the more impressive your peers are likely to be.
So, if you feel like a fraud, the chances are that you're actually very capable.
So what is Impostor Syndrome? It is the belief that you don't deserve your success. It is the feeling that you're not as intelligent, creative or talented as other people seem to think you are. It is the self-doubts that tell you, your achievements are down to luck, good timing or just being in the right place at the right time. And it is accompanied by the fear that, one day, someone will find you out and expose you.
Impostor Syndrome can be associated with the fear of success, fear of failure and self-sabotage. It often strikes at times that others might link with success: starting a new job, securing a promotion, or taking on extra responsibility such as managing others.
These feelings can make you believe that you must work even harder, so as not to be 'found out', leading to further success and recognition (and feeling like an even bigger imposter). But often, they lead to 'downshifting', when you revise previously held goals to be less ambitious… meaning that you never fulfil your true potential.
Alice and I reflected on this over our next two coaching sessions. Alice initially struggled to see that she have this syndrome; she could see it in others but not herself.
I asked Alice did she ever:
- Have feelings of inadequacy and frequent self-doubt;
- Have thoughts of "I'm not worthy", or "I don't deserve this";
- Have concerns that she can't live up to others' expectations
- Focus on her mistakes rather than on her achievements;
- Exhibit perfectionist tendencies;
- Think that her job is so easy that anyone could do it;
- Think that her talents and strengths are common or unremarkable;
- Believe that whatever she did, it was never enough;
- Believe that if she were to start over, she wouldn't have the luck, talent or skills to replicate her current success.
Alice went very quiet for a few minutes and then said it all sounded very familiar. This was a huge step for Alice.
Impostor Syndrome doesn't just hurt the people who experience it. It also hurts the teams and organisations they work for. So, if you are in a leadership role, it pays to keep an eye out for team members who are struggling with feelings of inadequacy.
Here are some signs to look out for:
- Turning down promotions, changing roles or avoiding certain high-exposure projects;
- Being uncomfortable with compliments or praise;
- Attributing good work or success to luck, good timing or knowing the right people;
- Other symptoms of low self-esteem;
- Expressing fears of failure or incompetence;
- Comparing themselves unfavourably with others;
- Using self-deprecating statements such as "I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about, but…" or "It might just be me, but…"
Recognising that she had Impostor Syndrome was a difficult step for Alice. Many people believe that the alternative is to become boastful and self-important, but this needn't be the case.
With Alice the following steps were explored to help her learn how to manage her feelings of self-doubt:
The first step in overcoming Impostor Syndrome for Alice was to acknowledge what she was feeling, and why.
I suggested to Alice she keep a diary. Whenever she was experiencing feelings of self-doubt or inadequacy, she should write them down, together with an explanation of why she was feeling this way. I asked Alice to be as specific as possible about each situation, explaining that by writing it out she would be able to see that she shouldn't worry about the situation.
Next, I asked Alice to use Cognitive Restructuring to counter negative thoughts with positive statements, and to come up with affirmations that neutralise those thoughts. Also, think about the successes she had had that have led to this moment.
I asked Alice if there was anyone she could really trust and talk to about how she was feeling. Alice reflected on this and said she had a former line manager she felt able to talk to. She agreed to reach out to this person.
Next, we reflected on Alice's strengths and weaknesses. Alice conducted a personal SWOT analysis to discover what she was good at, and to think about how she could minimise her weaknesses.
See our blog:
Once she had a deep understanding of her strengths and weaknesses, Alice was able to spend less time worrying that she was not 'qualified' for a particular task, project or role.
The most striking moment of self-discovery for Alice was her tendency to be a perfectionist. She consistent set herself unreasonably high goals, and then felt shame or disappointment when, in her mind, they failed.
A key learning outcome of our coaching sessions was for Alice to set herself realistic, challenging and achievable goals and accept honest failures as a part of life. Instead of seeing her mistakes as something to be embarrassed about, she should treat them as learning experiences that would help her to perform even better next time.
Often, people with Impostor Syndrome find it hard to accept compliments; Alice immediately recognised this. When things went well, Alice attributed the success to external factors such as hard work, help from others, or just plain good luck. But when things went wrong, she was the first to place the blame at her feet.
Alice accepted that she should give herself permission to be proud of her achievements. When she met a goal or finished an important project, she was to acknowledge that it was her skill and talent that made it happen.
Using the diary Alice was also encouraged to keep a record of positive feedback. In her reflections, she was to listen to praise, accept compliments and record it in the diary, along with why any negative thoughts were false or meaningless.
Impostor Syndrome is a self-fulfilling pattern of thought, in which a person considers him- or herself to be an impostor. She doubts her own intelligence and talents, and thinks that anyone who believes otherwise is either 'being nice' or has somehow been fooled into believing this.
To overcome impostor Syndrome, you need to break the pattern of setting yourself unattainable standards and thinking that external, temporary factors such as luck, help or hard work are responsible for your success. You also need to stop blaming your own personal shortcomings for mistakes or failures.
Talk to others about how you feel. Overcome your perfectionist tendencies by setting realistic goals for yourself, and accept that mistakes and failures are a part of life.
Finally, take ownership of your successes. Learn how to take a compliment, and draw strength from it.
See our Blog:
There are a number of interesting TED talks on perfectionism however, I particularly like this one:
When good is not good enough
Getting a New Manager
Starting an important new relationship in a positive way
Are you getting a new manager? You may not have asked for it. You probably didn't plan for it. Yet, like it or not, your current manager is leaving, and your new manager will be starting in a month. So, what's going to happen now?

Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks - 5/11/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Arizona Diamondbacks (16-18) at Colorado Rockies (15-17)
MLB Baseball: Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 3:10 pm (Coors Field)
Robbie Ray (1-2) (4.40) vs. C Bettis (3-2) (4.40)
The Line: Colorado Rockies -107 / Arizona Diamondbacks -101 --- Over/Under: 11 See the Latest Odds
The Arizona Diamondbacks look for another victory at Coors on Wednesday as they take on the Colorado Rockies in game two of their set.
The Diamondbacks look to continue their heavy hitting on the road against the Rockies on Wednesday night after a late game surge gave them a 5-1 victory and with Chad Bettis going to the mound for the Rockies it could be another great opportunity for Arizona to put up some runs. The D-Backs will counter with Robbie Ray who is 1-2 with a 4.40 ERA that identical to Bettis' though the Rockies hurler has a 3-2 record with Ray on the losing end at 1-2 but any way you look at it with the pitching matchup and the offense that each team possesses this game looks inevitable of soaring over the total.
USA TODAY Sports
The Rockies look to move to within two games of the .500 mark with a home win in this one after dropping back a game yesterday and with both Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller in the dugout for this one it could be a good chance for them to get a win. Colorado has a dangerous lineup with the likes of Nolan Arenado, Carlos Gonzalez, and Trevor Story but they can't find a way to generate any sustained success and as such they often find themselves at the bottom of league power rankings.
The Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last four road games, 4-0 in their last four against a righty, and 2-7 in their last nine Robbie Ray road starts while the Rockies are 4-11 in their last 15 against a team with a losing record, 0-6 in their last six home games, and 0-4 in Bettis' last four Wednesday starts. This game has a slug fest written all over it and with the Coors factor coming in as well this one should soar over double digits.

MeeFog™ System Benefits
- Reduces electrostatic shock
- High quality, corrosion resistant system components
- Low energy consumption
- Precise humidity level control
- Easy to service and maintain
- Ultra-fine fog droplets
- Stainless steel construction
- Flexible and easy to retrofit
- Easy to specify

Want Proof?
We'll gladly supply a detailed payback analysis report for your existing electronics applications including:
- Installed MeeFog™ System Cost
- Predicted Process Gains Per Year
Production of large-scale electronic assemblies, such as in the aerospace industry, typically require a particle-free environment.
Printing integrated circuits requires tightly controlled temperature and a RH of 35-45%. Engineers need humidity to prevent electrostatic discharge and damage to solid state chips in micro-lithography.
Medical Supplies
Leading manufactures of high quality medical bandages, traditional wound care, and advanced wound care products introduce a controlled amount of humidity into the air, maintaining strength of raw materials so processes run faster.
Paint Booths
Automotive and Industrial paint plants have developed the flexibility to paint both large and small applications in the same facility. All while dealing with the unforgiving nature of the waterborne process. Reduction in toxic solvents comes at a price, in addition to the increased purge rate, waterborne material is much more sensitive to humidity changes. Ideal painting conditions can be achieved with proper humidification.
Case Studies
Adiabatic Humidification Systems for Manufacturing Applications that Require Clean Room Humidification Solutions
Cleanrooms are designed to control the concentration of airborne particles and electrostatic discharge to specified limits. The only way to control contamination is to control the total environment. Air flow rates and direction, pressurization, temperature, humidity and specialized filtration all need to be tightly controlled. Because of large airflows used to preserve the integrity of the cleanroom envelope, a budget friendly way of controlling the humidity is important.
MeeFog™ humidifcation systems do not require compressed air or steam, which greatly simplifes the installation. The use of direct pressure requires very few moving parts (with none in the air handler itself). One MeeFog™ pump unit can often run multiple air handlers and can also be configured with system redundancy if needed.The MeeFog™ Humidification system is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional humidifiers. Most importantly, you'll see a rapid return on investment for installing a MeeFog™ System.

data access logic that can determine when locks can be avoided. It is important
to note that DB2 V3 can avoid taking locks only under certain circumstances that
will be explained in this article.
Lock avoidance is a desirable capability because
it increases the availability of DB2 data. Pages that were locked and
therefore, unavailable for access, in prior releases, can be accessed by DB2
V3. Furthermore, fewer instructions are needed to access data when a lock can
be avoided, because the instructions required to lock a data page are not
expended. When a latch is taken instead of a lock, it is handled by the DB2
code, so the cross-memory service calls to the IRLM are eliminated. For these
reasons, avoiding locks should have a positive impact on query performance.
Which Locks Can be Avoided?
Not all locks are avoided under DB2 V3.
Locking, now typically referred to as transaction locking in the IBM manuals, is
still required to enforce semantics. Additionally, not all types of pages are
candidates for lock avoidance. Only data pages in user tables are potential
beneficiaries of the lock avoidance technique. Lock avoidance can not be
employed when accessing index pages or data pages in the DB2 Catalog and DB2
When will DB2 V3 utilize lock avoidance? Simply
stated, if DB2 can determine that the data to be accessed is committed and that
no semantics will be violated by failing to acquire the lock, then lock
avoidance will be used.
But perhaps this is not as clear as it can be.
Let's be more specific. Locks will always be taken for all pages accessed by
any application bound specifying ISOLATION(RR). The repeatable read isolation
level requires that data will not change over the duration of a commit scope,
regardless of the number of times it is accessed. Failure to take a lock in
this situation would cause a violation of data semantics.
Locks can be avoided for pages accessed by
cursors having the FOR FETCH ONLY parameter that were bound specifying
ISOLATION(CS) and CURRENTDATA NO. Locks can be avoided for unqualified rows
accessed by queries bound with ISOLATION(CS).
Additionally, when system-managed referential
integrity is used, locks can be avoided when checking for dependent rows when:
either the parent
primary key is being updated, or;
the parent
row is being deleted and the ON DELETE RESTRICT rule is specified.
Additionally, locking is always avoided when
SHRLEVEL(CHANGE) is specified for the COPY and RUNSTATS utilities.
How Are Locks Avoided?
Because lock avoidance, by its very nature,
avoids locks, an alternate method of determining whether data is committed or
not must be employed by DB2. To do this two new features are used by DB2 V3:
CLSN and the PUNC bit.
CLSN is the Commit Log Sequence Number. It is
the log RBA for uncommitted data for the oldest active unit of recovery. DB2
can compare the CLSN with the log RBA in the page header to determine if it has
been committed.
The PUNC bit is stored in the record header for
each row of a DB2 table. PUNC stands for Possibly UNCommitted. DB2
periodically resets PUNC bits when it has documentation that the page on which
the record is stored has been committed.
But, how can DB2 utilize the CLSN and PUNC bits
to determine whether locks can be avoided?
For a page being accessed, the RBA of the last
page update (that is, PGLOGRBA in the page header) is compared with the CLSN.
If PGLOGRBA is less than CLSN, DB2 knows that the data on that page has been
committed. Therefore, can avoid taking a lock and no further checking is
If CLSN is less than PGLOGRBA, then the page is
examined to determine if any of its rows qualify (based upon the WHERE clause of
the SQL statement being processed). If no rows qualify, a lock is not needed.
If rows qualify, the PUNC bit for the row being
accessed is checked to see if it is off. This indicates that the row has not
been updated since the last time the bit was turned off. In this can a lock can
be avoided because the data is committed.
If all of these tests fail, DB2 can not avoid
taking a lock.
Lock Avoidance and Performance
To determine the impact of lock avoidance on
your system, DB2 V3 provides additional trace records. IFCIDs 218 and 223
provide CLSN information, and IFCIDs 226 and 227 provide "wait for page latch"
Lock avoidance is a new technique that can
potentially enhance data availability and query performance. To encourage its
usage in application programs, specify ISOLATION(CS) and CURRENTDATA NO when
binding packages and plans. Additionally, specifically code the FOR FETCH ONLY
clause to avoid ambiguous cursors.

What motivates me the most to add a new merchant is if the merchant provides a really good consumer incentive for me to promote. If there's some sort of affiliate incentive as well, that just sweetens the deal, but the consumer promotion is the main thing that motivates me.

I say an attainable bonus on top of commissions. Don't set something like "Get 500 sales this month and get a $100 bonus". So many bonus plans are geared toward super affiliates (parasites) and lead to the average affiliate neglecting them or even resenting the merchant for not thinking of the normal affiliates.
MONEY TALKS! Gifts are nice, but cashola is best...in my opinion.

I don't know about anyone else but what causes me to add a merchant the fastest is the product. If I think it is something my viewers will want to buy and return to buy again, I add them as soon as I am able.
If you don't have a needed and wanted product to start with, what's the point?Comments are opinion unless otherwise noted. Remember, pillage first. Then burn. Half of all people in the world have IQs under 100. You best learn to trust ol' SSanf!

islandgirl65 Review
I was disappointed as other posters.....when my daughter told me the headband was not included with the tutu. Very misleading to show a headband in the picture. My daughter had just had a baby and I was sending it to her so they could use it in the hospital pictures. I'm sure the tutu is cute but unfortunately the surprise for my daughter was ruined by a misleading picture.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? did not compare

It is common practice for many families to share what they are grateful for, and why, at the Thanksgiving table. Who hasn't delighted in a child's simple gratitude for things like recess, Grandma's cinammon rolls, and the new puppy?
One way to continue or start this Thanksgiving tradition in a way that will support literacy development is to create "gratitude journals" where child can write or draw (or both) what they are grateful for. (By the way, a "journal" can be as simple as stapling two or three pieces of paper together.)
I've got this crazy notion that people should write their own books. There should be no more novels by assembly line, no more "here, write a novel based on my idea and we'll publish under my name", and no more legacy novels, with modern authors using former authors' characters "from the estate of". Some people are making a lot of money, but at whose expense? I'm wondering if it is ours.
In our quarterly newsletter Lit Bits, there is a section dedicated to the writings of adult learners and tutors called Learner to Learner. This section is a place for tutors to share learning strategies that they've found to be successful with their learners, or brag about their learner's latest achievement. Adult learners can submit book reviews, creative writings, letters, recipes, stories, or other items they'd like to share with other people in the program. If you or your learner(s) are interested in submitting some
No matter its form--email, text, or tweet--writing is an essential skill for nonprofit professionals who must be able to clearly communicate goals, persuade donors to give, market services, and more.

Learning Express* offers courses and guides on grammar, editing, researching, and more.
If you have ever received a letter in the mail or a nice holiday greeting, you know how nice it feels. For many people it can be an intimidating task to write a letter, send a greeting card or address an envelope. Tutors, this might be a good opportunity to talk about writing with your adult learner and offer your assistance. The winter holiday season provides the perfect setting to connect with people far (or near) through written communication.

I was desperate in my twenties for my parents to think of me as a co-adult, especially during one night that's seared in my memory. I was 22 years old, two and a half years out of college, and had just started working as a reporter for a small magazine called The New Physician for which I was traveling on my first-ever business trip. I'd found an innovative clinic in Greenwich Village called The Door that seemed like a good focus for a piece I was writing about adolescent health care. Dianne, my editor, agreed to pay my way from Chicago to New York.
Greenwich Village was about a half-hour drive (twice that in traffic) from where my parents lived in Queens, in the house where I grew up. I wasn't staying with them – did I mention that this was my first-ever business trip? – but I was willing to meet them for dinner. My interview at The Door wasn't scheduled until 7:30 p.m.
For some reason, my parents chose to meet me at a restaurant on the Upper East Side, just about as far as you could get from the Village and still be in Manhattan. They had made a reservation for 6:00, which already struck me as a little too late – even back then I liked to be early for my appointments – and what I most remember was time moving in slo-mo during the whole dinner. Standing in the doorway of the restaurant waiting to be seated, sitting at our table waiting to be served – it all seemed to be taking much too long, and the inevitability of being late ruined whatever pleasure I might have taken in the expensive meal.
I'm sure there was an explanation. My parents weren't sophisticated restaurant people – "eating out" usually meant a Queens diner or Chinese restaurant – so they probably found this one on someone's recommendation. They no doubt wanted to make the evening special; they might have been as tickled as I was to have me play the part of a grown-up working woman. And I suspect they wanted to make the evening last. There I was, married and living a thousand miles away, and this was the first chance they'd had in months to spend time with me. I think they missed me.
From my perspective, though, Mom and Dad were just trying to thwart me at every turn. It felt like they wanted me to fail at this. Like they wanted me to be late. Like they didn't understand what it meant to be a journalist, didn't value the work I did. All I kept feeling, as they insisted on ordering dessert and then insisted on driving me all the way downtown instead of letting me just take the damn subway, was that they were somehow trying to keep me from being a success in my chosen profession. I was itching for a new kind of relationship with my parents, a more equal one befitting co-adults, and here I was stuck in rush hour traffic in the back seat of my daddy's Ford.
And yes, I was late. Which didn't turn out to be a catastrophe after all, since everything about The Door was so laid-back that 15 minutes here or there didn't really matter to them. But it mattered to me.
I have more compassion for my parents' quandary now that I'm also a parent of young-adult daughters trying to set new ground rules for how we treat each other. I know now that once a son or daughter grows up and moves away, any subsequent interaction with parents is pretty much voluntary. If you're unlucky, the relationship is loaded with guilt, obligation, or resentment; if you're lucky, it's something of deep, abiding sustenance. Either way, it's a relationship between co-adults, and requires deliberate care and feeding if it's to survive.
"As adults, [twentysomethings] have the power to distance themselves from their parents, and they use that power when they need to," wrote Jane Isay in Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents. "They can no longer be forced to accede to parental authority, and they have the right, and in some sense the responsibility, to make their own decisions, even if they make mistakes in the process." The trick for parents is to sit back and let their adult children make those decisions and those mistakes. And you don't even have to be an overprotective parent to find that a little bit hard.

Mad for MMA: Meet the martial art obsessed McKennas
DON'T mess with the fighting fit McKennas – they're all Mixed Martial Arts experts.
Mum Wendy, 35, dad Gareth, 42, daughter Cory, 16, and son Bryn, 11, get their kicks – and chops – from the hardcore sport.
And when they're not competing or training, the Colchester crew love watching Ultimate Fighting Championship on TV. They even go on MMA-themed holidays.
Their hobby combines different combat sports and Olympic disciplines including boxing, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling.
Mum Wendy said: "MMA brings us all together.
"On our last holiday we went to California so Cory and I could visit and train at various gyms.
"MMA brings us all together."Wendy McKenna
"We travelled all over and it was great to do it as a family.
"If we're at home in front of the TV we tend to watch a UFC event or programme, so it really is something we all enjoy together.
"More and more people are becoming knowledgeable about the sport and are showing an interest – and that's being driven by UFC.
"It can only get bigger and bigger as time goes on."
W8 Media
GETTY stock
Cory kicked off the craze when she started karate at the age of ten.
She later took up kick boxing and now has two British and one English Muay Thai titles.
She is also the British No-Gi ladies' blue belt champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
But now she has her sights firmly set on replicating that success in MMA and takes inspiration from the UFC fighters she watches on TV.
Cory said: "I enjoy watching Claudia Gadelha. She's a Brazilian fighter who competes in the straw-weight division, the same as me.
"We're quite similar in terms of style, so I like watching her.
"Now, I want to continue to grow and develop in MMA and my dream is for people to see me in the UFC."
When Cory persuaded her to join her in a class, mum Wendy fell for the sport too. Earlier this year she won the women's flyweight division in a local MMA competition.
Cory's younger brother Bryn is also making a name for himself.
He began karate aged five but quickly moved on to Muay Thai.
Wendy believes he could also make it to the MMA when he is older.
She said: "MMA encourages discipline and focus and that's great to see."
Sadly, MMA lover and Army veteran Gareth has had to give up after breaking his back in the line of duty.
The next UFC event will take place at London's O2 Arena on February 27th 2016. Tickets will be available via AXS.com from Friday, December 4th.

Scott Aaronson and Paul Christiano
As long as there has been money, there have been people trying to copy it.
Problem: whatever a bank can do to print money, a forger can do to copy it.
Classically, we need a trusted third party to prevent double-spending…
The No-Cloning Theorem trying to copy it.
There is no procedure which duplicates a general quantum state.
Can we use "uncloneable" quantum states as unforgeable currency?
A simple solution inspired by trying to copy it.Wiesner [1969]:
If I randomly give you one of the two pure states…
…you can't guess which I gave you with probability more than (3/4)…
…and you can't faithfully copy it.
Wiesner's trying to copy it. Quantum Money
If I concatenate k of these states to produce
I can recognize by measuring each bit in an appropriate basis…
…but you can't copy except with exponentially small success probability.
Only the bank that minted it can recognize money.
In fact, the money becomes insecure as soon as we give the users a verification oracle.
Modern goal: secure quantum money that anyone can verify
Aaronson, CCC'2009: Showed there is no generic counterfeiting strategy using the verification procedure as a black box.
Aaronson, CCC'2009: Proposed an explicit quantum money scheme, which was broken in Lutomirski et al. 2010.
Farhi et al., ITCS' 2012: Proposed a new money scheme based on knot diagrams. A significant advance, but its security is poorly understood. (Even when the knot diagrams are replaced by black-box idealizations.)
New, simple scheme: verification consists of measuring in just two complementary bases.
Security based on a purely classical assumption about the hardness of an algebraic problem.
A "black-box" version of our scheme, in which the bank provides perfectly obfuscated subspace membership oracles, is unconditionally secure.
The same construction gives the first "private-key" moneyscheme which remains secure given interaction with the bank.
Completeness: trying to copy it.Veraccepts valid notes w.h.p.
Soundness: If a counterfeiter starts with n notes and outputs n+1, Ver rejects one w.h.p.
Quantum Money "Mini-scheme" trying to copy it.
Simplified scheme in which mint produces only one banknote.
Completeness: VerOne accepts output of MintOnew.h.p.
Public-Key Signature Scheme
Soundness: For any counterfeiter C, if
then w.h.p. either or rejects.
Full Quantum Money Scheme
Run KeyGen for a public key signature scheme trying to copy it.
Must either break signature scheme, or break mini-scheme.
s is some data (TBD) which lets the user test membership in and .
Apply membership test for
Hadamard transform
Apply membership test for
Hadamard transform
Accept if both tests accept
Warm-up: Consider a counterfeiter C who doesn't make use of s at all.
Let A and B be maximally overlapping subspaces.
But C preserves inner products.
Now consider a counterfeiting algorithm C which uses s as a "black box":
C has access to a different black box on different inputs.
If C applies the black box to , it drives the inner product to 0!
Idea: Pick a uniformly random pair of (maximally overlapping) subspaces. Bound the expected inner product.
Any approximately successful counterfeiter must make Ω(2n/4) queries.
For any , v almost certainly also isn't in B.
So each query has an exponentially small impact on inner products.
Need to provide classical data which allows a user to test membership in and without revealing them.
One solution: Represent as a uniformly random system:
We can add any constant amount of noise.
To generate: sample polynomials which vanish
when , then apply a change of basis.
Conjecture: Given our obfuscations of and , no efficient quantum algorithm recovers a basis for with probability .
Suppose there were an efficient forging algorithm F. Then we can violate the conjecture:
If , recovering given noisy polynomials that vanish on is equivalent to learning a noisy parity…
…but we can use a membership oracle for to remove the noise.
If , recovering from a single polynomial is related to the Polynomial Isomorphismproblem.
For this is easy.
For , the problem can be solved with a single hint from , which can be obtained with probability .
For , known techniques don't seem to work.
Classical software can be freely copied.
To prevent copying, a vendor must interact with the user on every execution.
Can we design quantum "copy-protected" software?
Completeness: trying to copy it.w.h.p.
Soundness: A pirate can't output two states either of which can be used to evaluate .
Caveats: Might be able to guess , might be able to learn an approximation to …
Goal: construct a simulator, which uses Pirate to learn C OR find an element of and an element of
Key idea: To make meaningful use of the oracle, must use both an element of and an element of .
If we halt both, we recover elements of and , which is ruled out by the inner product adversary method.
(We can simulate Pirate using oracle access to C)
So one of them runs successfully without using the oracle. Therefore C is learnable, and we can't hope to stop Pirate!
If is queried for some , halt and record .
If is queried for some , halt and record .
Completeness: trying to copy it.w.h.p.
Soundness: any measurement can be simulated using only black-box access to C.
Makes an arbitrary measurement of
Makes an arbitrary measurement of
Simulated by simulator with black-box access to C
The state acts like a non-interactive 1-of-2 oblivious transfer.
Q: Can we implement Yao's garbled circuits, with hidden subspaces as secrets instead of encryption keys?
A: Yes, but hard to determine security.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. please sponsor me for the community fun run -
On Sunday 29th May I am taking part in the Community Fun Run to raise money for Kisharon, a charity for children and adults with learning disabilities that has changed my life. Now I want to give something back and raise desperately needed funds to give others the wonderful opportunities that I have had.
When I was 17 years old I went to Kisharon College for four years that gave me the confidence to go to Israel to study. When I came back Kisharon helped me find a flat and supported me to live on my own. Even though I have Down's Syndrome, I started working at the Kisharon Business Centre, did an NVQ Level 2 in Childcare and I now have a job at a primary school which I love.
Kisharon has given me my independence and although I don't find running easy, I would do anything for Kisharon. By sponsoring me, you will be helping me to give something back and change a life.
I needed help and others do too, so help me help them PLEASE!
Thank you,
Debbie Rosten.
So please dig deep and donate now.

Talks between the Indian and Pakistani foreign secretaries were held in national capital

India asked Pakistan to crack down on terrorist groups from its soil during talks between the foreign secretaries on Tuesday, the first high-level contact between the two sides since Pathankot airbase in January.
India also sought early progress in Pakistan's investigation into the attack and trial of Mumbai terror attacks suspects.
During talks with his Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, foreign secretary S Jaishankar said Islamabad "cannot be in denial on the impact of terrorism on the bilateral relationship".
"Terrorist groups based in Pakistan targeting India must not be allowed to operate with impunity," Jaishankar was quoted as saying in a statement by the external affairs ministry.
Chaudhry raised all outstanding issues and "emphasised that Kashmir remains the core issue that requires a just solution in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions and wishes of the Kashmiri people", according to a statement from the Pakistan high commission.
He also took up the "capture" of a purported RAW operative, Kulbhushan Jadhav, and expressed "serious concern over RAW's involvement in subversive activities in Balochistan and Karachi". Such acts, Chaudhry said, "undermine efforts to normalise relations".
Indian statementreferred to Jadhav as a "former naval officer abducted and taken to Pakistan" and said Jaishankar had "pressed for immediate consular access" to him.
Jaishankar also discussed on the issue of listing of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) leader Masood Azhar under the UN 1267 Sanctions Committee.
China had recently blocked India's bid to sanction Azhar, accused of masterminding the Pathankot attack, at the UN Security Council.
Foreign secretaries discussed on taking relationship forward and agreed to remain in touch.

DALLAS (Reuters) - Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Robert Kaplan on Tuesday said his "baseline" view continues to be for three U.S. interest-rate hikes this year, including the increase in March.
The pace of hikes could be faster, or slower, he said, if the economy performs better, or worse, than he now expects, Kaplan said at an event at the Bush Institute in Dallas.

"Small Family Farms – Health Grows Here"
Halloween is safely behind us, the weather has turned cold around here, the two BIG (eating!) holidays are coming up, and fitted skin baring outfits have made way for oversize sweaters and fleece (although in my case, I've been waddling around in comfy, slouchy clothes for several months now. Such is being 8 1/2 months pregnant. It does make for guilt-free Halloween candy eating, though). I'd say it's safe to do a little indulging to get ready for the holiday season. I'm thinking we need just a little something to bridge the gap between fall and winter. Something to face the upcoming winter with a little equanimity. Is it too early for eggnog? No. No, it's not. Especially not if we put a little pumpkin in it. I'm not over the pumpkin everything yet, are you? Now some eggnog purists may scream at their smartphones reading this, but the recipe I'm sharing is for cooked eggnog. Now Pete and Gerry's eggs are about as good as you can get with eggs. They let their chickens run around outside instead of locking them in cages, they feed them hormone and antibiotic free feed, they use gentle handling methods to limit the chickens stress (I love that; it's hard not to picture them giving little chicken massages. You can see some cute pictures of Pete and Gerry snuggling with their chickens here). But even using organic, antibiotic, gmo and pesticide free eggs won't eliminate the risk of Salmonella, and being hugely preggers I can't take the risk. I'm going to skip the booze, too, but I really think you should have it. Now I will admit to using the scary eggs in baked goods sometimes, especially if I'm in a baking frenzy. Sometimes for me, cost wins. But eggnog is all about the eggs. If you have scary tasting eggs, you'll be able to tell. Just like when making an omelet. Bad eggs=bad omelet. So this is not the time to skimp. Plus, as a reformed vegetarian (15 years in, 6 years out), I do think about how the chickens are raised, and what the process is doing to the environment. And one of the only true measures of having your voice heard is through your wallet. Want nice farmers who raise nice chickens and don't pollute the ground and water? You have to buy the nice eggs. Since Pete and Gerry's were the 1rst certified humane egg producers and B-corp certified (that means they have been proven to be following ethical standards in their farming practices. More info here), you don't just have to take their word for it. So, that being said, let's get cracking (yeah, sorry).
pumpkin eggnog
adapted from Nana's pumpkin eggnog
- 4 c. whole milk
- 1 c. pumpkin puree
- 7 Pete and Gerry's organic eggs
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. allspice
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling on top
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1-2 c. spiced rum or brandy, depending on taste (optional)
- whipped cream for topping (optional)
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, bring milk and pumpkin puree just to a boil. Don't let the milk scorch. Take off heat and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and brown sugar together. While whisking constantly, slowly pour milk mixture into the egg mixture. Pour mixture back into the saucepan and add the cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon. This is how you know the eggs are cooked enough (You can also use a candy thermometer. The mixture should reach 160° F). Once cooked, pour eggnog mixture through a fine mesh sieve, using the back of a spoon to push it through, into a clean bowl. Stir in cream, vanilla extract, and brandy or rum (if using). Chill for at least 4 hours. Serve cold, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Nollywood actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola has dished out advice to ladies who have been emotionally hurt.
The actress, who frowned at men who have notions that all women are the same and would end up hurting their feelings, said:
"To our men, I stand to correct the notion as well that all we women are the same, no we are not…majority of us wants to taste the true love, we open our heart to you guys, but you guys usually go for the looks, toil with our feelings, joke with our emotions," take what you are after", and then break our heart over and over again…tell me why i won't do same to the innocent guy that comes my way? When obviously my good intention, my true feelings have been broken over and over again…Anyway…bad as it has been…love stays the same, and true love never changes…"
The happily married actress however gave credits to ladies who after getting hurt, still open up their heart in effort to seek true love.
She however adviced them saying "To every good woman out there, I pray and wish you love…of course we want to love, much as we desire to be truly loved".
Opeyemi Aiyeola came to limelight with the movie titled 'Ige Adubi' and she has featured in several movies since then. She is happily married to Babatunde Olayiwola Owolomose and currently have two sons.

Features include controllable, variable-speed fan, and Frame size A has max rating of 3 kW Low Overload (LO).
Siemens Industry - Digital Factory - Machine Tool Systems - Elk Grove Village, IL
Original Press Release
Siemens Offers New 230V, Single- and 3-Phase AC Power Modules for its Sinamics G120 Drives
Press release date: Jul 24, 2014
All versions of the new PM240-2 power modules are rated IP20. However, an optional push-through version is available allowing the heat sink to extend out the backside of the cabinet. The seal for the push-through heat-sink will maintain and enclosure rating of IP55 (NEMA 12). As a result, the new PM240-2 power modules will reduce the overall required cabinet size and cabinet cooling requirements.
Among the unique, new features of the PM240-2 power modules is the variable speed cooling fan, controllable to run based upon actual conditions vs. simple on / off operation, thereby reducing both the noise generated and the power required when in use.
The PM240-2 power modules are suitable for use with general-purpose and servo-drive styles. Options on these PM240-2 power modules include braking resistors, input reactors and output reactors.
For more information about this new line of power modules, please visit: www.usa.siemens.com/sinamics-g120.
