Vimy Revisited
Port Perry teacher Dave Robinson co-ordinates teachers and more than 3,600 students on this trip to the historic ridge.
by Leanne Miller
Some have called the battle there the birth of our nation. Dave Robinson hopes that 90 years later Vimy Ridge will give birth to deep and lasting understanding among his students.
As head of the Canada and World Studies department at Port Perry High School in the Durham DSB, Robinson has taught the compulsory 20th-century Canadian history course at least once a year for as long as he can remember. He has loved every minute of it and his enthusiasm and commitment remain strong.
Robinson believes the key to engaging students is in offering them authentic experiences that have consequences. He found this key years ago when he helped design a program in which students at risk ran a storefront classroom. He charged the students with organizing Port Perry's Santa Claus parade.
"They had to raise sponsors, book marching bands and get community floats – or face the very real consequence of disappointing thousands of children along an empty parade route. It was those consequences and the students' efforts that reinforced their textbook learning." The parade was a great success and Robinson and his students – in academic and applied programs, including those at risk – have never looked back.
Using computer simulation, today's students can role-play any historical battle they wish. And through popular mainstream films and television – Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, for instance – they may have strong impressions of the brutality and sacrifices of war.
Nevertheless, Robinson has found that a more personal and Canadian perspective is important. "They know their grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought in the wars, and many want to share in this emotional commitment from their family history."
He offers students an opportunity to gain personal perspective: walking over no man's land and through the trenches, visiting the World War I cemeteries in France and Belgium and actually climbing Vimy Ridge.
This April, Robinson will lead a Canadian contingent of as many as 3,600 secondary students, 200 parents, a pipe band and 360 adult supervisors on a pilgrimage to England, Belgium and France. There they will retrace the steps of Canadian soldiers during World War I and take part in commemoration ceremonies for the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
This battle has particular significance for Canadians as forces from across the country united, meticulously planned and – under senior Canadian leadership for the first time – succeeded where other Allied forces had failed: storming the ridge to conquer the long-held German stronghold.
The costly victory, with nearly 3,600 killed and over 7,000 wounded in four days of fighting, prompted Canadian brigadier general A.E. Ross to declare, "In those few minutes I witnessed the birth of a nation."
The Vimy Memorial rises high atop the ridge where Canadians fought. Its topmost figure – representing peace – towers 110 metres above the plain below. Inscribed on the walls are the names of 11,285 Canadian soldiers killed in France during the war, whose final resting places are unknown.
The monument is currently undergoing a $20-million refurbishment, and a rededication ceremony on April 9, 2007 will be televised nationally. Scheduled dignitaries for the ceremony include Queen Elizabeth, the prime ministers of Canada and England and the president of France. More than 3,600 students will be present for the rededication ceremony – most of them part of a nationally co-ordinated trip by Robinson. Students travelling as part of this tour will play a special role, with most of them wearing replica Canadian army shirts, each with the name of a soldier killed in the battle.
The number of students is significant. During the fall 2006 semester each student participant researched and recorded the personal story of one of the nearly 3,600 Canadian soldiers killed in the battle. Robinson's colleague Nancy Hamer Strahl assigned the name of one of the soldiers killed to each student for research – wherever possible, a relative.
Students submitted their work in a variety of media as a regular history assignment. Hard copies of written work and a CD archiving digital work – stories, images, sound and film – will be sealed in a capsule. The works will also be on display at Vimy's education centre.
Other trip highlights include a tour of London, a Chunnel crossing, visits to Dieppe and the Normandy beaches, a visit to Belgium to see Flanders Fields and attend the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres and a visit to Paris.
Students from most of Durham's 20 secondary schools will participate, as well as some from the neighbouring Kawartha Pine Ridge DSB and others from across Ontario.
Julian Hall, a teacher at St. Mark High School in Manotick, is co-ordinating the trip for all 14 of the Ottawa-Carleton Catholic DSB's secondary schools. He estimates that 300 students and up to 40 teachers will participate.
In addition, students and teachers from British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Québec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories will attend.
Michael Barrett, chair of the Durham DSB, will join the trip along with his 17-year-old daughter Meagan. "The logistics for a trip of this magnitude are immense and the attention to detail is evident in Dave's meticulous planning and organization," says Barrett. "It is not unlike co-ordinating our volunteer soldiers in 1914 and 1915 from small towns across Canada."
Barrett also has a personal connection with the trip. His great-grandfather Alfred Barrett fought at Vimy and survived, only to be killed in action in August of 1918. "This trip will also be a personal journey for Meagan and me," he explains. "Although I have already visited Vimy and laid flowers at my great-grandfather's grave, she has never been."
Barrett is enthusiastic about the impact of Robinson's work. "Students and parents are fortunate to have such a visionary in the school system. This trip reflects the efforts of a dedicated team of teachers and fulfills the dream of a man who wants our students – our children – to know that history is not words in a book but a living part of our own experience today."
Janice Gilmour, her husband Michael and their three children will be going.
"I'm not sure what to expect," she admits. "I didn't learn much about World War I when I was in school and I had never heard of Vimy. But my daughter Kirsten is studying it now with Ms. Hamer Strahl and she comes home and talks about the horrors of life in the trenches for these brave young Canadians. It's fascinating. I think Remembrance Day will never be the same for any of us after we visit Vimy."
Leslie McGuiness learned about Vimy last year when she was in Grade 10. "I think this trip will bring to life what we read and I'm sure it will be fantastic."
Robinson strongly believes that all students – not just those who can afford it – should have the opportunity to travel abroad, and he puts just as much effort into fundraising as he does into planning his excursions. The cost of the tour is $3,416 for students and $3,749 for adults.
Since April of 2006 Robinson has been sending out semi-monthly e-mail updates on recruiting and fundraising – complete with pictures and historical facts designed to inform and generate interest. He estimates that 10,000 people across the country read them.
Like many participating teachers he has been co-ordinating local fundraising events and organizing monthly lectures. "Through the kindness and generosity of some of Canada's finest writers, researchers and veterans, we are able to put on fantastic history evenings," he boasts.
One of the ways Julian Hall and his St. Mark students fundraised was through a symbolic Walk to Vimy held on Remembrance Day 2006. All student travellers collected sponsorship money and walked from Manotick to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa to honour veterans. "We worked with the local legion to involve veterans. The students raised money and awareness for the trip and they got to tour the museum," Hall explains. "The excitement is building."
This April all the hard work will come to fruition as students from across the country experience the school trip of a lifetime. Here's betting they return with personal insights into the significance of what happened there 90 years ago.
The countdown for Vimy 2007 is on. But Robinson is planning other trips before his scheduled retirement in June 2009. Hands across the Generations – Remembrance in Korea and Japan is in the works for 2008.
While the group Robinson is leading is the largest, there are many student trips to Vimy planned for this spring and several companies offer package tours for students and teachers.
Historical images of the Vimy Monument and the Battle of Vimy Ridge reproduced with the permission of Veterans Affairs Canada, 2006.
National fundraising
Fundraising for this ambitious trip has included a year-long, country-wide corporate campaign as well as the local campaigns that teachers know well.
Robinson has been keen to secure corporate funding for important things beyond the cost of travel and accommodation.
"Addressing our concerns for security and ensuring that our students represent our country's youth," he is raising money for seasonal jackets and hats that will identify the students who are part of the trip.
"We want to show that we are Canadians who are proud of our country's distinguished military history."
He aims to have a laptop donated for each busload of students so they can post daily pictures of the tour to their web site. He also plans to secure international cell phones and long-distance air time so that families and classmates back home can share in the students' experiences.
The Durham DSB's director Craig Burch admires what Robinson is doing. "Dave's fundraising and trip-planning efforts go way beyond the work of a normal teacher. He is committed to ensuring that kids who can't afford these kinds of life experiences can participate."
The national campaign includes a World War I memorabilia raffle, a walkathon, a skateathon, a massive yard sale held at several schools, a community-challenge car wash in Port Perry, semi-monthly historical guest lectures, theatre, a gala dinner and more.
Robinson also co-ordinated the donation and auction of a motorcycle called Birth of a Nation. The donation was made by Cranked Customs in Port Perry (www.crankedcustoms.com). The chopper, valued at more than $40,000, is custom-designed with scenes of the Vimy Memorial and the Battle of Vimy Ridge and augmented with World War I medals. It will be auctioned on eBay starting mid-January and closing around the beginning of March.

Money in Portugal
Portugal - MoneyThe economy suffered its worst contraction in Q1 since records began in 1995, pummeled by the plunge in both domestic and external demand amid the widespread measures implemented to corral the spread of Covid-19. Although investment activity surprisingly rebounded after three consecutive quarters of decline, private consumption sank at an unprecedented rate. This, coupled with exports crumbling at the sharpest pace since the 2009 global financial crisis, took a drastic toll on activity. Turning to Q2, prospects are even more dire. In April, retail sales crashed at an unparalleled rate amid stay-at-home orders, while the key tourism sector was decimated as foreign travel came to a standstill. And although consumer sentiment improved in May, it remained well entrenched in pessimistic territory. More positively, the final stage of the economy's reopening began on 1 June but with capacity limitations still in place.

We all know that endocrinology is the most amazing specialty. However although some of the discoveries in the last 3400 years have been amazing, some of the wrong turns have exhibited opportunism and quackery. Perhaps we should start with testosterone and the effects of castration. We know that removal of the testes before puberty has irreversible affects and that in 16th and 17th centuries these were exploited for music. Popes did not come out of this covered in glory and the last papal castrato was singing in the Sistine Chapel choir in the early 1900s. In the late 1840s Berthold a German physiologist in Göttingen experimented on capons showing that if he removed their testes and transplanted them into the abdomen, where they regained their blood supply, the effects of castration were not seen. He did not recognize the importance of his observation. Later in the late 1880s Brown-Séquard, the famous French neurologist, reported at the French Royal Society injecting himself with a mixture of the bloods from the testes of dogs and guinea pigs. His reported marked improvement in strength and stamina was a placebo effect because of the shorter half-life of testosterone. Thyroxine from sheep given to patients with hypothyroidism, again in the late 1880s had a remarkable effect in women with hypothyroidism because of the longer half-life of thyroxine. In the late 1880s the ovary was thought to be part of the nervous system. Oophorectomy at that time was used to treat conditions in women including hysteria and anorexia and anxiety and even nymphomania. Ernest Starling was the first person to coin the term hormone and Ormao is the Greek word to excite or stir up. This was the founding of endocrinology. We have then gone from strength to strength with the discovery of insulin and more recent leptin, pioneered amongst others by Steve ORahilly and Sadaf Farooqi in Cambridge.

Project Wreckless
Capacity development program for at-risk youth centered around the restoration of bad-ass cars.
Project Wreckless is a capacity development program currently targeting the most at-risk youth in San Francisco. We provide the tools for life through an immersive curriculum centered around the restoration of classic cars. Learning the basics of auto mechanics is a given. Our program is unique in that our youth rotate through a set of other job roles necessary for the efficient operations of an auto shop. Quantitative skills learned include auto mechanics, accounting, social media, scheduling, people management, and budgeting. Qualitative skills learned include teamwork, collaboration, conflict resolution, and communication. Together, the quantitative and qualitative skills comprise the "tools for life" toolbox that Project Wreckless provides to each student. Our vision is to bring the Project Wreckless community to every state across America. Project Wreckless expects more of our youth, so they can gain the confidence to expect more of themselves. Thank you and we truly appreciate your support.
Over the last 10 years, Jordan Langer has helped shape the flourishing San Francisco event and nightlife scene. His largest and most successful company to date, Non Plus Ultra, features some of the city's most historic and noteworthy event spaces and operates on the premise of always doing good and giving back to the community. From this daily business mindset came the idea for Project Wreckless, a youth development program targeting at-risk youth designed to have a significant, meaningful, and lasting positive impact on each participant. Originally from New York, Jordan has made San Francisco his home during this last decade. He is a husband, a father of two wonderful boys, and a true gear head through and through.

Storage tank for cold supply
Storage tank of cold VHА-1 is designed for accumulation of coolant used in refrigeration systems. Cold accumulators are widely used in industrial and domestic refrigeration systems.
Storage tank for cold supply is made of carbon steel and has zinc coating to prevent condensation on walls of the product. Cold accumulators are made of various capacity and configuration according to the order.
Usage of cold accumulator in refrigeration systems enables to smooth the load on the compressor during peak hours of cold consuming and, in the mode of regular starts and stops, to reduce the load on the system at uneven daily load, to provide increased volume of hydraulic circuit of refrigeration machine that will reduce the incidence of switching on and off the chiller.
It is possible to buy or order a cold accumulator (of non-standard size or with certain characteristics) in the company "Teplobak" (teplobak.com.ua) for the most optimal price.
Cold accumulators are used for:
- smoothing peak loads;
- extending the life of refrigeration machine;
- smoothing temperature fluctuations.
Protection time of compressor 6min., and the maximum allowable change in fluctuation 1.5°, then the tank capacity:
P — chiller maximum power (kW)
V — volume of the room
VA — water amount in the system (l)
Z — number of circuits or power degrees
If V of a tank is negative, the tank is not necessary.
Structure of tanks:
The total amount of water in the cold supply system (including with tank) 10-15 liters per 1 kW of cooling capacity.
In practice distinguish: buffer and storage tank.

Do You Have a Company Computer Use Policy?
"Quicklet" - A Podcast for QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise Solutions & Point of Sale users featuring helpful information, tips, tricks and suggestions for bookkeepers, business owners, and consultants. Got a QuickBooks Mess? Ask The QuickBooks Gal!
Hi, I'm Jayne Miller, The QuickBooks Gal. Welcome to another in our series of "Quicklets" – informational podcasts about QuickBooks and related bookkeeping topics. Today's topic is Monitoring Employee Computer Use & Abuse.
Do your employees stab at their keyboards when you approach? Are their giggles unlikely to be caused by open invoice report or check register on the screen? Are they spending more time reading from their screen than producing when at the computer?
Maybe it's time for a formal Computer Usage Policy. Consider a policy that expressly states all or a variation of the following check list. I print two copies, require that employees sign both copies (one for them and one for me) and I add a disclaimer above their signature that violation of one or a combination of the above policies will be considered grounds for termination.
Company Computer Use Policy
1 - Our company uses a web-based email (if applicable). Do not use any other email or install email portals on your workstation.
2 - Our company uses only Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc. Do not use or install any other web browser on your work station.
3 - Do not open an email attachment before scanning it with virus protection software.
4 - Your company email address is for company use only. Do not send or receive personal email at this address. Personal email or Instant Messaging are not allowed on company time or via company computers.
5 - No Web Surfing is allowed while on company computers.
6 - No games, gambling, pornography or other personal multi-media activities are permitted on company computers...don't check your stock, personal email, the news, or shop online while on company time or facilities.
7 - Do not share your password with co-workers.
Our Company reserves the right to:
1 - Read & review all email activity on company computers or company email accounts.
3 - Restrict access to and distribution of email and Internet
4 - Prohibit distribution of email that may violate federal or local laws
5 - Restrict personal use of company computers
6 - Prohibit sending/forwarding of chain e-letters, gambling, or using company computers to create or forward pyramid schemes.
7 - Prohibit dissemination of confidential or proprietary information
8 - Prohibit forwarding company emails to personal email addresses
One more thing: Make sure you have a very strong, very reliable AUTOMATIC ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE in use to minimize damage should an employee open an email attachment before scanning it for potential viruses. Keep it current!
It's a good idea to formally establish and distribute a company policy and make sure everyone understands it. Additionally, make sure you have a policy of review in place. Don't issue directives if you don't plan to follow through or don't know how to....hire an IT person or contract with a local service that can install and update security software and will monitor activity and produce activity reports as well as set up an alert system when your employees violate your policies.
As always, the most important tip I can offer to you is to back up your work. Get a flash drive or learn to use the cd writer on your computer, purchase an external back up device or look into online back up services. This is the most important daily routine you can practice. If you are using an older version of QuickBooks, turn on the audit trail. It may slow you down a little, but you'll be glad you did. Note: QuickBooks 2006-2007-2008 now have automatic audit trail and the new database is keeps you running smoothly and quickly even with the audit trail turned on.
I hope you find my Quicklet helpful. If you have specific questions, please send me an email. If you are a Peachtree user, check out peachpods.custmbiz.com and look for some great Microsoft discussions on our new Podcast at Micropods.custmbiz.com.
Don't forget that we are now serving Incline Village, Lake Tahoe and Truckee, California. We have two great consultants that will be happy to assist with QuickBooks or Peachtree training & support. Visit our website at tahoe.custmbiz.com. If you are using Point Of Sale and need assistance, call us!
Well, that's it for now. I appreciate your time and hope you will join me again next time for another in our Quicklet series. If there are topics you would like me to cover or have questions, send your email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm Jayne Miller, The QuickBooksGal. Thanks for listening.

Hey, my project is online ! After much learning of Linux bash commands, CGI and mySQL, I can now serve out a NASA World Wind layer made up of the exact Mars Global Surveyor images that you want. From about the year 2000 to the end of the MGS mission I explored various MGS images. I was a remote explorer on Mars. Looking at some of the most alien landscapes I've ever seen, and yet finding some that were hauntingly familiar. Now I can see where all those images were that I was looking at…
Now, this is getting quite interesting in terms of Mars exploration. Already international plans are in operation to return to the Moon. Via the ISS … to construct a Moon Base. That base will one day take us on to Mars. I should really do some stuff for the Moon as well as that is where the action will be soon. Anyway, all in good time. The point with World Wind though is that it is being used to simulate and display very accurate Scientific data. I'm beginning to think of it like Seven of Nine's Astro Metrics Lab in Star Trek Voyager . Of course this is exactly what it is ! Maybe someone already has it running on a wrap around (what's the name?) screen as big as your wall ? Anyway, with all this accurate data the next incarnation of World Wind is written in Java. Not only that, it is extensible. It's easy to write complex add ons for it, way beyond the capabilities of current ones (good as those are!). But forget all those clunky, slow Java apps you've used on the web before. This thing downloads fast and can cut it with some of the latest game/sim engines out there by the look of it …
As long as you have Java installed properly then click on the link further down this page and the entire NASA World Wind / DiSTI F16 application will load. It's not a browser plugin but a separate application. It took me a while to get the vid above. I had to get the hang of the f16 first ;).
So can you imagine this ? I'm thinking entire, accurate, first person environments of the International Space Station coupled with the Scientific analysis data of World Wind. What do all the aspects of Earth's atmosphere look like from the ISS ? Maybe from that point of view the data looks kinda different ?
What about a Moon Buggy you can drive ? So you can see all that Moon data from the POV of future Moon Base dwellers ? A Mars Buggy would be nice as well.
Maybe I'm letting my video game interests get the better of me. After all the F16 demo is meant to show the possibilities that World Wind now provides, not how it can compete with the latest games. A lot of Scientific data does depend on how it is presented though. For example from an educational perspective a few printed graphs are not going to hold the attention of a class for as long as something running in World Wind. Could all this be a way to capture the attention of the "video game generation" ? To pull them out of their perma PS2 wars into the REAL world of Moon bases and future Mars, Earth ?

image: NAVER[SaLuSa] Major events to take place that have hitherto been held up
– There is no problem in the current situation and people of earth can clean up the mess –
As far as the article is concerned, it would appear to me that there is no problem in the current situation.
I have the same feeling to the current situation. I have almost no interest in the attack to a newspaper in France and I think it is not a very important incident. Since France and the U.K. have committed a lot of illegal acts to topple Syria, they inevitably have to receive negative karma they have accumulated. I think that if their karma is liquidated, everything would be stable.
As for those who still do wrongdoing, it is easy for deities to sentence them to death and have them dissappear from the universe in a moment as a corollary to their sins. If so, evil would be immediately eradicated from earth. However, this will not give humanity an opportunity to stand up for justice. At present, earthlings have reached a level in which we can clean up the mess. As SaLuSa also says "major events to take place that have hitherto been held up," just relax and see what is going to happen.
Now I have shifted my attention to the field of economy rather than the attack.
Masatoshi Takeshita
January 10, 2015
Excerpt from a Japanese article – Takisan Homepage – January 10, 2015 –
SaLuSa (illustrated by Mrs. Seiko Nakanishi)
SaLuSa January 9, 2015
There are signs all around you that indicate the period of immense change that you are passing through, and old problems that have beset you for millennia of time are coming to a head. ・・・・・You can no longer continue in the old ways, and in some countries it will require a new Leadership to come forward to direct Man towards peaceful and acceptable answers. Part of this change of direction comes from you the people who wield much more power than you imagine. When the thought form for change grows it becomes a powerful tool that influences the Human population. ・・・・・.
These are times when you need to keep your focus on your own personal goal, and you should know by now exactly what it is. When you are firmly on your path you will feel fulfilled and unaffected by events that are going on around you. ・・・・・
Looming in the future are unending revelations about you history in the current cycle that is now closing. ・・・・・ It has mainly to do with your quality of life that has been held in a time lock, free energy could have solved so many of your problems and immediately raised you up. However, it will not take long to bring you the advances you have been denied, and curing the body of all ills will eventually mean that you will live a life of perfect health.・・・・・.
We are well prepared for the times ahead when we can come amongst you, and a number of advanced technologies are prepared for your use. They will speed up your advancement into the New Age whilst at the same time help cleanse the Earth and her Oceans of years of neglect and misuse. There is much work to do but modern technologies will greatly reduce the time spent on such projects. Cleansing is our main priority and once it is complete the rest can follow much more easily. ・・・・・
As your investigators are finding out, we have some of our bases on your seabed but well out of your reach at depths that you cannot survive in. As you have noticed our craft can fly in and out with ease and with no ill effects, as the force field around them is their protection. As you have also noted, we can also place a shield of invisibility around them, which explains why at times we just vanish off your radar, or out of your sight. As individuals we can also lift our vibrations so that we can walk through matter, and make ourselves totally invisible if we find it necessary. This way we can attend those "secret" meetings that are held by the dark Ones. Our technologies are far more advanced than yours and your dark Ones would be well advised keep clear of them.
It is our intention to introduce you to new ideas and technologies as soon as it is appropriate, but our first priority is to clean up your Earth. We would then like to establish a level of life that means that no one is in need of the basic requirements for a satisfactory life. The contrast between the different regions on Earth is quite amazing, as some life still exists in what can only be described as primitive conditions. ・・・・・ These days are now coming to a close as the New Age is established, and you will gradually leave them behind.
This year should leave you with a firm indication as to which direction it is going in, and progress will speed up as interference with your destiny will not be allowed. We expect major events to take place that have hitherto been held up, and you will be in no doubt that progress into the New Age has speeded up. ・・・・・ Bear in mind that what is happening on Earth is the last attempts of the dark Ones to impose their will upon you. They will not succeed, but in the process of trying they will learn many lessons from their experiences.
I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and hope you share our excitement at the changes that are taking place. Some are not yet apparent but continue to happen as the foundation for them is laid. You may be assured that as it begins to be safer to make open contact, it will take place as we do of course need many contacts on Earth to carry out our work. I am leaving you now with the love and best wishes from the personnel of our craft, who take much interest in your progress.
Thank you SaLuSa.

Mace (Myristica fragrans from the Myristicaceae
family) is the scarlet lacy covering which
surrounds the hard black shell of the nutmeg.
The flavour is aromatic, sweet, warm and
rich. Indonesia and Grenada are the world's
main sources of mace and nutmeg.
The history of mace is closely tied to
the history of nutmeg for obvious reasons,
though the two items have been treated separately.
Because the yield of mace is much less than
Nutmeg's it has had greater value. A pile
of fruit large enough to make one hundred
pounds of nutmeg produces a single pound
of mace. When the Dutch controlled the Moluccas
(the Spice Islands), one colonial administrator
sent orders that the colonists should plant
fewer nutmeg trees and more mace trees.
It is sweet and fragrant, similar to nutmeg,
but stronger, with a warm, sharp, aromatic,
intense and slightly sweeter flavour than
Mace and nutmeg are very similar, though
mace is somewhat more powerful. Mace is
a lighter colour and can be used in light-coloured
dishes where the darker flecks of nutmeg
would be undesirable. Small amounts will
enhance many recipes, adding fragrance without
imposing too much flavour.
Plantation - fresh
Spice Route Nutmeg
Spice Route Mace comes from our plantations
in Rajapara, Kerala - India. Mace is carefully
handpicked and processed using a unique
post-harvest technique wherein its essential
oils, aroma, flavour and freshness are retained
for longer periods.
Spice Route Mace is available in eco-friendly
PET jars and flexible refill pouches with
zip-lock technology to ensure that you get
all the natural aroma, flavour and freshness
every time you buy.

Akab Dzib in Chichen Itzá
Located to the east of the Caracol, Akab Dzib means, in Maya, "The House of Mysterious Writing." An earlier name of the building, according to a translation of glyphs in the Casa Colorada, "the flat house with the excessive number of chambers," and it was the home of the administrator of Chichén Itzá. INAH completed a restoration of the building in 2007. It is relatively short, only 6 meters high, and is 50 meters in length and 15 meters wide. The long, western-facing facade has seven doorways. The eastern facade has only four doorways, broken by a large staircase that leads to the roof. This apparently was the front of the structure, and looks out over what is today a steep, but dry, cenote. The southern end of the building has one entrance. The door opens into a small chamber and on the opposite wall is another doorway, above which on the lintel are intricately carved glyphs, the "mysterious" or "obscure" writing that gives the building its name today. Under the lintel in the door jamb is another carved panel of a seated figure surrounded by more glyphs. Inside one of the chambers, near the ceiling, is a painted hand print.

Insurer ordered to stop selling policies through payday lenders & provide refunds; payday lenders ordered to stop selling insurance
MEDIA RELEASE – Vancouver/Victoria, British Columbia – Provincial regulators, the Financial Institutions Commission (FICOM) and Consumer Protection BC, have partnered to take action against Western Life Assurance Company (Western Life) and several BC payday lenders to protect consumers in their financial transactions.
A collaborative investigation produced evidence that payday lenders, Venue Financial Ltd. and CashCo Financial Inc., engaged in aggressive and deceptive sales of Western Life insurance products. Those practices include:
- Legally required disclosures are not being provided to consumers;
- Consumers are not clearly being made aware they have purchased the insurance or that it is a voluntary product;
- Consumers are not being provided sufficient information, or an opportunity, to make an informed decision if they want or need the insurance; and
- Controls are not in place to ensure that consumers are not sold the insurance when they are ineligible for coverage.
FICOM has issued a cease and desist order against Western Life Assurance Company (Western Life) to stop the sale of creditor group insurance through payday lenders in BC.
"The fair treatment of consumers is paramount to FICOM, and we have been clear with insurers that they must take responsibility for the way their products are sold," said Chris Carter, Deputy Superintendent of Financial Institutions. "In collaboration with Consumer Protection BC, we have determined that Western Life has not lived up to its obligations to consumers."
Under the order, Western Life must contact all individuals they have insured through payday lenders and inform them of the particulars of the insurance they purchased, confirm eligibility, and offer to cancel the insurance and refund affected consumers.
Licensed payday lenders Venue Financial Ltd. and CashCo Financial Inc. are also prohibited from selling creditor group insurance from any insurer in BC until FICOM is satisfied that the products are being properly sold to consumers.
View the cease and desist order here: www.fic.gov.bc.ca
Consumer Protection BC is taking its own actions against Venue Financial Ltd., CashCo Financial Inc., as well as Speedy Cash (operated by Kamloops 2011 Equities Ltd., Bagan Preservation Ltd., and Kelwood Financial Services Ltd.), related to their sale of credit protection insurance. A broader Consumer Protection BC investigation into the lending practices of these businesses is ongoing.
"What we have seen causes us great concern. These actions should serve as a warning to the rest of the payday lending sector," says Tayt Winnitoy, Executive Vice President of Consumer Protection BC. "Alongside FICOM, we are dealing with the improper sale of insurance within our respective areas of authority. For us, however, the issues with these payday lenders don't stop there; insurance is only one element of our ongoing investigation. We encourage anyone to contact us if they feel that they have experienced a breach of BC's payday lending laws."

FICOM regulates insurance companies under the Financial Institutions Act and investigates complaints of regulatory matters and allegations of misconduct. www.fic.gov.bc.ca
Consumer Protection BC regulates payday lenders and a variety of other sectors and consumer transactions in the province. It licenses and inspects its regulated businesses, investigates alleged violations of consumer protection laws and provides information to consumers. www.consumerprotectionbc.ca

'Luke Cage' Recap: Episode 7 "Manifest"
The seventh episode of Luke Cage delves into Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes' past and his relationships with his cousin, Mariah Dillard, and their caretaker, Mama Mabel. Heads up, things get really heavy in this episode so hold onto your pants!
We open with Luke Cage breaking up another one of Zip's attempts to sell weaponry to the locals. Luke Cage asks him why he doesn't get another profession now that Cottonmouth is done but Zip answers that Cottonmouth is getting out as he scampers away. At the police station, Cottonmouth is cool as ever as he sits patiently next to his lawyer. With a lack of hard evidence to convict him, the police are forced to let him go but not before Misty and Cottonmouth share a few heated words. Luke Cage is outside when Cottonmouth is released and is none too happy that the system didn't work. Misty also learns that her captain is being replaced by a woman named Ridley, her old lieutenant from the 31st precinct. Her former captain advises Misty to let go of Scarfe, Cottonmouth, and Luke Cage or otherwise risk ruining her career to obsession in the process. Her new captain shows up and suggests the same thing.
Meanwhile, Cottonmouth is having a grand old time after shooting a cop and walking away free. His goons were also able to secure the guns that Scarfe was supposed to give him and gave them to Domingo. Despite all his good fortunes, he is unable to get the Judas bullet (the one weapon that could potentially harm Luke Cage) because he's too hot after his arrest. In addition, his inability to deal with Luke Cage is preventing him from continuing conducting his business. He tells Shades to contact Diamondback and Shades reluctantly obliges. The scene ends with Cottonmouth retrieving an old pistol and aiming it towards a mirror. Flashback to a younger Cottonmouth holding the same gun. Who his younger self is pointing to gun at is left unrevealed.
Longer flashback! We see Cottonmouth playing his keyboard as he recalls the days of his youth. A young Cottonmouth is practicing keyboard as a young Mariah is working on her schoolwork. Sounds of music and whoring can be heard from the next room over. Apparently, Cottonmouth was quite gifted at the keyboard and was supported by his uncle Pete. However, Mama Mabel had no interest in nurturing Cottonmouth's musical talent and was focused solely on making Mariah succeed as a lawyer. A young Pop enters with another young rascal to give Mama Mabel some presumably stolen watches. The young rascal brings up selling drugs which Mama Mabel strong opposes. Then we see the ruthless Mama Mabel we've been hearing about when she clips off one of the young rascal's fingers. She orders Cottonmouth to take out the "trash" but uncle Pete defends him saying he's too young. Mama Mabel orders him again and he obeys. A distraught young Cottonmouth returns to his keyboard with blood on his hands too shocked to play.
Back in the present, Luke Cage shows up to Harlem's Paradise because Cottonmouth had called him to offer a parley. Cottonmouth reveals that he knows all about Luke Cage's criminal past and calls him by his real name, Carl Lucas. He blackmails Luke Cage by telling him he'll keep his secret on the condition that he follows his orders. Luke Cage heads back to Pop's barbershop where he plans to run away from Harlem. Claire sees this and convinces him to stay. Luke Cage heads to Domingo's boxing gym and gets the guns Scarfe died over. He gives Misty an "anonymous" tip and she arrives to pick up the stolen guns.
In other news, Mariah Dillard is asked to resign from the counsel because of all the negative attention they're getting from her association with Cottonmouth. Flashback again to young Cottonmouth who is reprimanded by Mama Mabel for being gone too long with uncle Pete. However, young Cottonmouth reveals to Mama Mabel that uncle Pete has been talking to Salvador and the Puerto Ricans. Mama Mabel awaits for uncle Pete to return home and confronts him about his talks.
Here is when things get heavy. Uncle Pete turns around to find a young Cottonmouth pointing a gun at him (the same gun adult Cottonmouth retrieved at the beginning of the episode). Mama Mabel orders young Cottonmouth to take uncle Pete out back and shoot him. Young Mariah Dillard comes out to watch him die as well and it is implied that uncle Pete sexually molested or assaulted her. After uncle Pete begs for his life, young Cottonmouth shoots him.
Back to the present, adult Mariah Dillard arrives at Harlem's Paradise to chastise Cottonmouth on his actions. They have an intense argument as Cottonmouth reveals his resentment towards Mariah and the nurturing treatment she received from Mama Mabel. He also tells Mariah of how he thinks she liked what uncle Pete did to her and wanted it because he often saw her flirting with him.
Mariah freaks out and starts attacking Cottonmouth. He falls through the window on the second floor and hits the ground on the first floor. Mariah pursues and proceeds to smash his skull in with a mic stand while shouting "I did not want it!" Shades arrives to see this and helps her cover things up.
Just before the episode ends, Luke Cage is shot in the park by a mysterious man who knows Carl's real name. The episode concludes with Luke Cage gravely wounded on the ground as Claire attempts to help him.

So you have finally set foot down the road of these anabolic steroids to build the muscle mass – in just the right places – but still aren't sure about what results to expect? Don't worry you've landed at just the right page.
We know how important it is for you to know what to expect before starting the cycle. However, bulking up is not as quantifiable, relative or composite as one may expect. The results vary from person to person depending on a number of factors.
Just being regular with your dose, is not enough. Keep in mind we all have varying stamina, physical and emotional strengths and overall physique. Hence what's equal to two for someone may not necessarily be the same for you.
What is the Expected Weight Gain from a D-bol Cycle?
There's no benchmark for actual comparison for gauging the results of a Dianabol cycle. However, you may say that the expected weight gain after a four-week, 30-35mg cycle is somewhere between 7-14 lbs. for an individual.
The results may vary depending on your physique, stamina and other external factors such as the dietary habits, general health, fitness routine, etc.
Length of the Cycle
With a four-week cycle, you can expect a gain of about 20 lbs, while with a longer, or say about an eight weeks cycle, Dianabol can give you up to 35 lbs. of increase in muscle mass. However, this increase also depends on your starting point.
Like, if you are on the leaner side, don't expect to become the Rock in just week
s. However, if you are already like the Rock, you can definitely go much higher up the scale.
Weight Gain Pattern
Talking in general terms you can expect weight gain in the following pattern over time:
Increase of 4-7 lbs in week 1
Increase of 8-12 lbs in week 2
Increase of 15-20 lbs in week 4
Increase of 28-35 lbs in week 8
Related: Is Dianabol Safe to Use? How to Take Dbol Safely?
How to Maximize the Gains?
One major concern of anyone new to the cycle is, what happens once the cycle is complete? Since you are no longer on Dianabol to help you, can you retain what you gained?
Actually, since much of the weight gained during the cycle is fluid, some weight loss is only just natural when you come off Dianabol. However, you can easily retain most of the muscle mass and the gains from the cycle through:
Dbol, unfortunately, cannot and should not be used for a long time, and so you definitely need a plan-B to maintain the muscle mass and strength. Most of the bodybuilders and fitness experts resort to stacking as the alternative route.
Add a long ester steroid to your cycles such as the testosterone – preferably as an injectable – or Anadrol or Trenbolone to your cycle. This way, as your cycle comes to the end, testosterone takes over so you can maintain your gains for a long time.
While it may be tempting to break a rule and devour that huge slice of pizza at some point or the other, remember it's your diet that makes or breaks the gains for you.
Even after the cycle, make sure you stick to your diet plan, in fact, it is better to add more calories and proteins to your diet to maintain the gains.
Training Program
You need to shed all the extra fat and unwanted body mass. A proper gym plan, regular exercise, and training will add on to the effectiveness of Dianabol. Same goes for maintaining the gains post cycle. In order to keep your strength levels up, keep on following the same exercise plan as before.
Even though the emphasis is on the hard work, your body definitely needs a break time and again. Hence it is better not to push yourself too hard and to give yourself a resting period of 24-48 hours after each work-out.
This also gives your body the time to heal, boosts the energy levels and reduces the chances of burn-out.
Gains – Post Cycle
Now once the cycle is complete, the gains you have by the end are the most important. Here are some of the most likely gains you will get post cycle:
- Increase in Muscle Mass: The first and most expected gain from the Dianabol cycle is the increase in muscle mass. This actually comes from the body's ability to retain more of nitrogen. The increased levels, make you look better and bulkier – with just where you need the bulk to be.
- More Energy and Stamina: Due to glycolysis, there's a burst of energy inside the body. This released energy improves the stamina and enables you to work harder and spend more hours working out with ease.
- Increased Strength and Muscle gains: Finally, you can feel a heightened increase in the muscle mass and overall strength of the body. Weight lifting, running or exercising gets way easier once Dianabol has worked its way.
You can also spend more hours at the gym and work out to your heart's delight.
Final Word
There's absolutely no precise number or figure that you can look up to as the expected gains from a Dianabol cycle. Since our bodies, metabolism rates, level of stamina and the general built, are different from each, it is unfair to expect the same results for everyone.
However, with a few tweaks in your diet, exercise plan and the other external factors that you can control, you can achieve the highest returns on your cycle.

Fracture phenomena have been extensively studied in the last several decades. Continuum mechanics-based approaches, such as finite element methods and extended finite element methods, are widely used for fracture simulation. One well-known issue of these approaches is the stress singularity resulted from the spatial discontinuity at the crack tip/front. The requirement of guiding criteria for various cracking behaviors, such as initiation, propagation, and branching, also poses some challenges. Comparing to the continuum based formulation, the discrete approaches, such as lattice spring method, discrete element method, and peridynamics, have certain advantages when modeling various fracture problems due to their intrinsic characteristics …

The use of solar energy to produce power has increased substantially in the past few decades. In an attempt to provide uninterrupted solar power, production plants may find themselves having to operate the systems at temperatures higher than the operational capacity of the materials used in many of their components, which affects the microstructural and mechanical properties of those materials. Failures in components that have been exposed to these excessive temperatures have been observed during operations in the turbine used by AORA Solar Ltd. A particular component of interest was made of a material similar to the Ni-based superalloy Inconel …

Characterization and modeling of deformation and failure in metallic materials under extreme conditions, such as the high loads and strain rates found under shock loading due to explosive detonation and high velocity-impacts, are extremely important for a wide variety of military and industrial applications. When a shock wave causes stress in a material that exceeds the elastic limit, plasticity and eventually spallation occur in the material. The process of spall fracture, which in ductile materials stems from strain localization, void nucleation, growth and coalescence, can be caused by microstructural heterogeneity. The analysis of void nucleation performed from a microstructurally explicit …

Structural stability and performance of structural materials is important for energy production, whether renewable or non renewable, to have uninterrupted energy supply, that is economically feasible and safe. High temperature metallic materials used in the turbines of AORA, an Israel-based clean energy producer, often experience high temperature, high stress and foreign object damage (FOD). In this study, efforts were made to study the effects of FOD on the fatigue life of these materials and to understand their failure mechanisms. The foreign objects/debris recovered by AORA were characterized using Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) to identify composition …

Improved knowledge connecting the chemistry, structure, and properties of polymers is necessary to develop advanced materials in a materials-by-design approach. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can provide tremendous insight into how the fine details of chemistry, molecular architecture, and microstructure affect many physical properties; however, they face well-known restrictions in their applicable temporal and spatial scales. These limitations have motivated the development of computationally-efficient, coarse-grained methods to investigate how microstructural details affect thermophysical properties. In this dissertation, I summarize my research work in structure-based coarse-graining methods to establish the link between molecular-scale structure and macroscopic properties of two different polymers. Systematically …

Aluminum alloys and their composites are attractive materials for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios and reasonable cost. Many of these applications, such as those in the aerospace industry, undergo fatigue loading. An understanding of the microstructural damage that occurs in these materials is critical in assessing their fatigue resistance. Two distinct experimental studies were performed to further the understanding of fatigue damage mechanisms in aluminum alloys and their composites, specifically fracture and plasticity. Fatigue resistance of metal matrix composites (MMCs) depends on many aspects of composite microstructure. Fatigue crack growth behavior is particularly dependent on the reinforcement characteristics and matrix …

How did you get involved in MMA and how long have you been training?
-I got involved with MMA because one of my guy friends had been training for awhile and I'd always thought it would be cool to try a combat sport (then I was mainly interested in a good workout) so he took me to the gym. Within a week I was hooked and knew I wanted to fight. My family was not okay with that at the time and I moved out not long after I turned eighteen because I was determined to follow my dream. I've been training for two years now and I'm 4-0. My family is so much more comfortable with it now and is very supportive.
Where are you currently training, and what's a typical training week like for you?
-I train at Central Illinois Combat Club in Canton IL under Bob Long at Kuk Sool Won in Galesburg with Ashley Sanchez, and at GYAC Boxing in Galesburg with Carlos Duncan. I typically train boxing two days a week, kickboxing and BJJ two days a week, MMA once a week, along with additional cardio and lifting workouts about four days a week.
Tell us about your upcoming fight, who you're fighting and where?
-My fight will be at East Peoria Throwdown at the East Peoria Event Center (IL). I will be fighting Brittany O'Day at 145 pounds. My focus is on my game plan and not hers; I plan to be the aggressor and will use any of my many skills to beat her.
What is your best experience as a fighter? What is your worst?
-My best experience as a fighter if I had to pick just one, it would be after my second fight. I won by TKO and won fight of the night; an adorable little girl came up to me and wanted her picture taken with me. She thought I was so cool! It made me feel really good to have that little girl look up to me for being strong.
-My worst experience would have to be cutting weight for my last fight, it was my first time dropping to 125 and it was supposed to be a title fight and for various reasons I didn't quite make it. I cut weight all day in the sauna and the gym, busted my ass and had to be carried out to weigh-ins. I was criticized for that and I didn't get that belt. I still won and I learned something from it, so really it was worth it in the end but it sucked.
What advice would you give to other women who are reading this interview and want to get started in MMA?
-Do it! Find a good, trustworthy coach and start training. Start small if you have to. Be kind to your body, don't try to crash diet or starve yourself as it will backfire in the end. I believe MMA can do so much for a woman's mind, body, and spirit. It really helps build confidence along with improved health and fitness. I also really believe every woman whether they want to fight or not should be able to defend themselves.
What are some of the hurdles that you think Women in MMA need to overcome before Women's MMA will be considered a top level sport like Men's MMA is today?
-For one, volume. Although women's MMA is growing, there are still way fewer women than men in the sport. We need to encourage other women that they can be strong too! Also, women's MMA just needs to be promoted more. I think things such as the new promotion Invicta Fighting Championships could really do great things for the sport. We ladies need to get our names out there and show everyone what we're made of.
When do you think we will see women divisions in the UFC?
-It's hard to say. With all the Tate-Rousey hype, progress was made. Dana White was quoted as saying if there were more females out there like Tate and Rousey there was a chance. That's a start at least. I guess the women of MMA just need to show Dana White that we can create fireworks and draw a huge crowd, and I think he would be likely to give in.
What or who are your inspirations in MMA and life?
-My teammate and trainer Ashley Sanchez is a big inspiration to me. She's tough but always positive, always working towards a goal, and she loves helping people. She's a great teacher and fighter, and she's raising two beautiful girls at the same time! Amazing!
Who are your favorite MMA fighters?
-Picking favorites is so hard. Miesha Tate, Felice Herrig, Ronda Rousey, Vitor Belfort, Urijah Faber...the list is endless. I look up to all of them and try to learn from them because that's where I want to be someday.
How do you enjoy your free time when not training or fighting?
-Eating! Haha, just kidding (sorta). I watch a lot of movies, read a lot of books, occasionally I like to get crafty and sew or make something. I love to bake but I find it hard not to eat everything I make so I try to save that for special occasions.
Of course we have a few questions for the male readership as well.
Are you single?
-Nope, and my man is a fighter too so don't bother challenging him for me ;)
What do you look for in a guy?
-Someone who is caring, affectionate, and not afraid to be goofy, also someone who's not afraid of commitment.
What would you say is your best feature?
-My eyes and my booty.
Any future plans or dreams?
-My dream is to fight professionally. Everyone says you should have a job you love, and I love MMA. I can't think of anything better than getting paid to train and fight. I'll work for that every day until I achieve it.
Any shout outs you would like to make?
-First I want everyone to know that I'm dedicating this fight to my uncle Norm, who recently lost his fight with cancer. I'll be fighting for him in there.
-Also I'd like to thank my sponsors, they've waited patiently for this next fight and I am so grateful for everything they've done for me: Ultimate Takedown, www.gymbooty.com, Grit Mouthguards, Phoenix Tattoo Studio, AJH Photography, Diffusion Hair Studio, Fight Chix, and CatFight Gear.
-My family, friends and my boyfriend Joseph also deserve a shout out because they deal with me daily, help me whenever I need it, and are completely understanding of the sacrifices I make to reach my goals.
Thank you very much for your time and good luck on fight night Jenna! For more on Jenna check out her Facebook and Twitter pages.

What Makes Sports Car Popular To Vehicle Enthusiasts?
There are specific things that excite the psychological bond between the sports automobile and the auto fanatics.
Driving enjoyment and look are that sets the sports vehicle apart from all the rest. The cars appearance is necessary especially to guys; making the one factor the sports car is so popular.
Sports automobile enthusiasts bond with each other in clubs, talking, and exchanging concepts. They invest a significant quantity of extra time immersed with their sports car.
There remains in fact, something in sports cars that causes drivers to have a special destination and accessory to automobiles, making them preferred among the lots of automobiles on the market.
Others say that sports cars are toys for the "big boys". Research studies do reveal that cars are a popular pastime of numerous men and they often inhabit the time, in addition to the hearts, of many fans.
Here are reasons they are popular:
1. Sports cars are popular since they are symbolic. Sports cars are considered a source independence or liberty. Motorists are no more prevented by the limitations and inadequacy of standard cars and are able to have a versatile and complimentary life maneuvering and taking on elements on the roadway with ease. This understanding of freedom makes the cars popular.
2. Sports vehicles are popular because of their "ingenious technology". Individuals are attracted to technological progress; sports cars are a moving mix of technical and mechanical proficiency.
Sports vehicles are thought about by auto fans to be a complete bundle of technological advancement; from compact but robust engines to aerodynamic customizing, car signify the frontier of commercial design.
3. Sports vehicles are popular due to the fact that of their ability to respond or counter the driver. Sports cars are sold, as surveys reveal, as very driver-responsive cars. The motorist is has the complete control.
4. Sports vehicles are popular due to the fact that they attract the motorist's desire of integrating power and speed on the roadway.
While others look for efficiency, others desire an unique design, and still others desire both. Without any doubt, the sports car can be found in a plan that can match the consumers' requirements and wants.
Whatever one's factor for having a cars, it does not actually matter; exactly what matters is, if it's the car that you want, and you can well manage it, then it needs to be exactly what you are driving.

Current work
Shaun Micallef, along with partners McCaffrie and Michael Ward, worked on a show for SBS named Newstopia, which tackled the biggest news stories of the week. Newstopia began airing 10 October 2007 on SBS, finishing on 12 December 2007. Season Two of Newstopia, also on SBS, began screening in February 2008.
Previous experience
South Australian born Shaun Micallef studied law at Adelaide University and was heavily involved in the University Footlights drama group. He worked as a solicitor until 1993 when, encouraged by his mentor Gary McCaffrie, he decided to leave law and try his luck as a comedy writer, moving to Melbourne to write for Full Frontal and later Jimeon. He soon began appearing on the shows and became co-producer of Full Frontal as well as writing for The Big Gig.
In 1998, Shaun debuted on the ABC with The Micallef Programme. A year later came The Micallef Pogram. In 2000, Shaun left comedy aside when he took on his first major drama role. As Warwick Munro, he romanced Sigrid Thornton and Australian viewers in the final series of SeaChange. The following year, he filmed the final series of The Micallef Program and hosted the 2001 TV Week Logie Awards. In 2002, aside from writing and filming Welcher & Welcher - Shaun wrote the telemovie Blackjack (in conjunction with Gary McCaffrie) and was cast in Tony Martin's debut feature Bad Eggs as well as The Honourable Wally Norman, directed by Ted Emery.
2003 saw the emergence and premature death of Micallef Tonight, Shaun's hysterical and off-beat comedy variety show, which featured some of the world's biggest stars in entertainment, media and politics.

16th Abuja International: All South African film entries suspended
11 September 2019
There is an immediate suspension of all South African film entries at the 16th Abuja International Film Festival scheduled for October 22 to 25, 2019.
In a statement released by the organisers, the International Film Festival as a body condemns unequivocally the reoccurring xenophobic attacks against African migrants, including Nigerians in South Africa. "On behalf of the management and organisers of the 16th Abuja International, we wish to announce the immediate suspension of all South African Film Entries submitted for the 16th Abuja International Film Festival scheduled for 22nd to 25th October, 2019.
"We as an International Film Festival condemn unequivocally the reoccurring xenophobic attacks against African migrants, including Nigerians in South Africa.We have observed the global outcry, especially by Nigerians all over the world who have called on their compatriots to boycott South African products and services in Nigeria in retaliation of the violence against their countrymen in South Africa."
"However, we have taken this painful and avoidable decision to suspend entries submitted by filmmakers from South Africa until further notice. We therefore strongly condemn hate, prejudice and xenophobia actions of some South African nationals and reiterate our unequivocal condemnation of all violence in any form."
"The Film Festival is a platform that was created to promote mutual harmony, respect for the dignity of life. We will continue to advocate for a society where everyone's rights and freedoms are respected. The right to live and earn a living, freely, safely and protected by the law.
"We therefore as a matter of necessity call on the South African government to address the issue of xenophobic attacks with utmost seriousness where the perpetrators are brought to book."

Love and Other Drugs reminds me of my childhood days when my mom used to tag me along during her clinic hours while the "powder blue" Pfizer guys and girls would swarm around and present samples to her. I love those cool giveaway pens, of course!
This movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway is a good one; it's more than a typical romantic dramedy about the life of med-reps. It's about life.
Spin Doctors' Two Princes song jumpstarts the film featuring Jamie (Gyllenhaal) embodying the traits of a perfect salesman – gets along well with all sorts of clients, sells more, and hooks up with any girl he likes. The tipping point is when Jamie decides to be a medrep for Pfizer. And so the story goes, and he meets Maggie (Hathaway) by accident. And the rest is told in a movie full of good music and a bunch of steamy scenes.
L&OD is brave enough to tackle the daily struggles of a pharmaceutical slave promoting Zoloft and, later on, Viagra. Some of my friends from the same industry (and the same company as well) would disagree on the values and actions portrayed by Jamie and his colleagues. But beyond the posh, adventure-filled and interesting life of a medrep, reality sets in – it's one hell of a job!
I never wanted to become a medrep, maybe because I am aware of how difficult it is to be one. The movie shows us the patience and hardwork any employee must possess in order to succeed in a very competitive company. Another story revolves around that of a girl with Parkinson's disease (Hathaway) whose story with the protagonist has proven that love conquers all.
After seeing the movie, my respect for medreps elevated to a higher degree. And for the hopeless romantic in me, here's a good line from the movie: "Sometimes the things you want the most don't happen and what you least expect happens. I don't know – you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet that one person and your life is changed."
By the way, I still keep the "Viagra" paper holder which I had since 2004. It's useful!
Seven out of ten stars for this movie that teaches us to do anything in the name of love… and other drugs.

The Eastern Red-Cedar invasion poses a major threat to livestock producers and landowners across the central US, ranging from North Dakota to Texas.
To understand the consequences of preventing the cedar invasion, look at Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas where livestock production and profitability has declined 75% in rangelands invaded by Eastern Red-Cedar.
