"She Creature" details a couple, Angus and Lillie (played by Rufus Sewell and Carla Gugino, respectively) who work in the freak show business in turn-of-the-century United Kingdom. One day, while closing up shop in an Ireland town, they encounter a man who owns a mermaid, and refuses to give or sell it to the couple, much to the fiancÈ's dismay. Later that night, before leaving, he and his team, including a tall black man billed as a zombie straight out of the West Indies, steal the mermaid and take her to the United States where Angus will meet fame and fortune. However, they get more than they bargain for; it turns out the mermaid is much more dangerous than one could tell by looking at her (perpetually topless and flippered) figure.
As anyone who's seen Spy Kids, A Knight's Tale, and Shawshank Redemption can attest to, it's not the acting that's at fault here. While the commentary track often makes note that the budget constraints became a blessing as far as not being able to show the creature entirely enhanced the drama -- taking a page from Hitchcock -- in the end I feel they were mistaken. For example, a bigger budget could've paid for a script reworking or a director more attuned to flicks such as this -- I would've loved to see Shyamalan take this over.
Perhaps, however, it is not a budget shortcoming but lack of a specific purpose to be filled in the film. Maybe, just maybe, it would've worked better in a different format. Like... a musical. Or a vaudeville comedy. Or a Dogme 95 film, without any costumes and shot in natural light in one or two scenes all in one take. But as it stands, She Creature has none of said gimmicks, and thus fails.
Both the 1.78:1 anamorphic and 1.33:1 full-frame transfers are mostly well-done. Colors and blacks are mostly well-saturated, though I suspect the lack of a particular vibrancy in the picture is because this is a period piece and emulates the time period. Film artifacts are sometimes distracting, though I noticed no glimmer or other compression artifacts. Edge enhancement is a problem in some shots.
The audio tracks are well-mastered. Dialogue and effects are free from buzz or noise.
The commentary is in some ways better than the film. Winston, the head of special effects and a producer of the film, shares many of the secrets used to create the mermaid and in fact a certain amount of the cinematography of the feature, while Shane Mahan, a co-producer, gives a lot of insight into how the film was created, shot, and a background of the development. I'd almost suggest watching the film with the commentary track and English subtitles.
The Making-of Featurette is presented in 1.78:1 widescreen, and very poor video quality. It features an interview with writer/director Gutierrez, and shows off the work of production designer Jerry Fleming. Short and pretty shoddy. 2:20.
Four photo galleries, and unless you're familiar with the development process of the type of effects used in the film, it really doesn't explain much at all. No real relevations are gained here.
Trailers are for Creature Features (2:45), Bram Stoker's Dracula (2:35), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1:30), Night of the Living Dead (unfortunately, the colorized, in my opinion inferior version) (1:00), and Wolf (2:00).
Simple, abridged filmographies are available for Stan Winston, Rufus Sewell, Rya Kihlstedt, and Carla Gugino. I think they just chose random people associated with the picture and grabbed a few of the IMDb listings and published them on the disc.
She Creature's best assets are the ones Gil Bellows shows in every shot of her character in the tank. If you're the type of guy that owns The Little Mermaid, Splash, and its sequel Splash, Too on DVD, then go ahead and this mermaid gem to your collection. It makes a good popcorn flick, but past that you won't be missing much if you opt to pass this one.

I suggest you put down any food you might be eating while I briefly discuss cash dispensers. Frankly, there's something unappealing about them. This has nothing to do with politics or economics by the way. I'm trying to say ATMs can, literally, be disgusting.
We use them all the time, often without much thought of where we are putting our fingers, but studies have found they carry a similar amount of bacteria to public toilets. I'm sure you'll forgive me if I don't go into much more detail.
I am not here to convince you to wash your hands after using an ATM – though if that happens all the better – but more to talk about the importance of hygiene on touch interface and communal surface areas generally. Nobody can dispute the importance of hygiene. Yet these days we live surrounded by electronic devices that are shared amongst thousands of people. Open a security door and you are likely to use a keypad to enter your personal code. Operate, a food and drinks vending machine, parking meter, buy a bus ticket, do your food shopping at the supermarket checkout and you may need to tap some information into a keypad or touchscreen. If we think about it, touch switch devices in particular, are perfect examples of what we are all steered to touch in the exact same spot time and time again. In short, we use our fingers to share countless devices with complete strangers – who knows where all those fingers and thumbs have been? It's really quite extraordinary that we have grown totally unconcerned about this increased risks of transferring germs and bacteria from one person to another. We could of course provide alcohol wipes and a sink with soap on every street corner. But in light of that being slightly impractical another answer to this question lies in the use of antimicrobial surface technology.
At MacDermid Autotype we have been working with cutting edge technology for over a decade to incorporate antimicrobial protection into some of our premium films. The active agents are added while we coat the films, so they are integral to their structure, quite unlike other products around that may only contain agents applied as part of the film's finishing process. The antimicrobial family comprises Autotex AM, already successfully in use across a number of touch sensitive applications like the exquisitely sophisticated and complex interface devices in the Interlink AM Sensor line, to SIGMAGraF Shield AM used for the protection of very large areas such as counters, signs, walls, floors and in-store decorations.
Our mums all told us to wash our hands before eating, but unfortunately until that sink idea gets off the ground (feel free to lobby your local authorities for it) washing your hands before and after using every public electronic device will mean simple tasks take a lot longer.
The point of this is that, as consumers, we should all question why simple anti-bacterial protection is not more widespread. This problem is far from insurmountable but, in the meantime, I suggest you give it a little thought next time you're taking a tenner out of a cash machine.
Oh, and you're safe to start eating again.

JAKARTA (TheInsiderStories) – Good morning. Indonesian government and lawmakers from the budget committee had agreed to raise the outlook on tax revenue in the 2019 State Budget to Rp1,784 trillion from earlier estimates of Rp1,781 trillion on expectations of higher income from the oil and gas sector.
The government, represented by the finance ministry, and the budget committee had also agreed to raise the budget's macro-assumption on Rupiah exchange rate to 14,500 per US$1 from previously 14,400 per US$1. The oil output goal was also raised to 775,000 barrels per day from 750,000 barrels per day.
Higher assumption on dollar exchange rate and oil output stipulated in the 2019 state budget is equal to an additional state income of more than Rp1 trillion (US$68.96 million). That means the government would still have to generate more tax revenue from other sectors.
The original tax revenue assumption in the 2019 budget is already high, aiming for 15 percent increase from this year's outlook of Rp1,548 trillion. The government had been struggling to meet tax revenue aim, though this year is expected to record a slight improvement as economic activities are gaining traction.
The government had collected Rp907.5 trillion in tax and excise revenue until August, a 16.5 percent rise from a year earlier.
To achieve the higher objective in 2019 tax revenue, the government has to increase Indonesia's tax ratio to 12.1 percent in 2019 from 10.7 per cent in 2017. The government expected the tax ratio to reach 11.6 per cent by the end of 2018.
The financial market ended in the green on Wednesday (19/09) on the tariff rate imposed by the United States and China in the escalating tit-for-tat trade war between the pair was lower than initially expected.
The Rupiah strengthened to 14,896 per US$1 from 14,908 per US$1. The Jakarta Composite Index ended up 1.1 percent at 5,874 as foreign investors net bought stocks worth Rp258 billion.
The index's gain was mainly supported by shares of heavyweight PT Astra International Tbk (IDX:ASII) which surged 4.9 percent after data was released that shows the automotive conglomerate managed to increase its share in Indonesia's car market.
Market's movement today may be affected by crude oil price which rose after a report showing that US crude oil inventories fell to the lowest level since February 2015. Market may also respond to the meeting between UK Prime Minister Theresa May and EU leaders in negotiating the stalemate over the the British's exit from the eurozone.
From the politic side, the ruling coalition secured another coup after 10 local government heads in West Sumatra declared their support for the incumbent candidate, President Joko Widodo, in 2019. Though not exactly a size-able province, West Sumatra is one of the provinces where Widodo failed to win a majority in the last presidential election, securing only 23.1 percent of vote shares in 2014.
May you have a profitable day.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released a new mortgagee letter offering new guidance regarding the administration of HECM counseling.
Mortgagee Letter 2011-31 presents five separate updates or guidance to HECM counselors and lenders as it relates to the HECM counseling protocol and certificate:
- Revisions to the Certificate of Counseling (HUD form 92902) – adds a specific data field for the attorney-in-fact holding a Power or Attorney name and signature, add the HECM Saver as an option to be presented by counselors, replaces the Agency Tax Identification Number with the Agency Housing Counseling System Identification number, and includes a HECM for Purchase certification by homebuyer
- Changes to the documentation of the power of attorney – the AIF's name must be entered at the top of the certificate along with the name of the homeowner. The AIF must sign where indicated on the revised form.
- Signatures on Certificate – all owners shown on the property deed and non-borrowing spouses must receiving counseling and must sign the counseling certificate
- Dates on Certificate – counselors are to complete both the date counseling completed and the date of expiration of the certificate
- Revisions to Certificate – revisions are only allowed up until the time of endorsement
- Change Lenders & New Case Numbers – clarifies that a HECM certificate can be associated with a new case number and case numbers can be transferred to other lenders regardless of certificate expiration date
The new guidance in the mortgagee letter amounts more of a clarification of existing standard practices, rather than implementing of new rules. Previously, in Mortgagee Letter 2006-25, FHA has strongly recommended that non-borrowing spouses receive HECM counseling, and many lenders followed suit by requiring it. This ML makes this an official FHA requirement.
The mortgagee letter is effective 30 days from the date of the letter, August 26, 2011.

Wedding at the Chine Hotel Bournemouth
The weather has changed and in the week leading up to Lisa and Marco's wedding it has been pretty awful. We were all quite optimistic that it would be fine and that the worst had passed.
We arrived at the hotel to find the bridal party preparations well under way with hair and make-up. Lisa's hotel room had a balcony and the view over the coastline was glorious, it looked like the day was going to turn out being fine and that we would be able to get down to the beach after the ceremony.
Marco, his brothers the Best men, the Ushers and Luca (Marco's son) looked really smart although a little nervous met us for a few photos before greeting the guests and taking their place in the ceremony room, the Pineview Ballroom.
The ceremony finished a little different to most with Luca handcuffing the couple together, a nice little touch that Luca wanted to include but we were all relieved to see that a key was to hand!
The weather was nice enough for the drinks reception to be held outside while the formal group photos were taken. After which we slipped away with the wedding party for some photos in the lower garden and then down to the beach. It was a lovely warm sunny afternoon and we could have stayed down there for ages.
Lisa wanted a photo by beach hut number 2519 which held many happy memories for her. We almost lost the Bride and Groom amongst the runners from the Bournemouth Marathon Festival. The number of runners that were shouting out words of congratulations was amazing and added to the day!
So back to the hotel for the wedding breakfast, cake cut and speeches to conclude with the last of the formalities before the evening celebrations begun.
Another great day at the Chine Hotel and as always thanks to all the staff for their help and assistance in making everyone feel so welcome.
We would like to thank Lisa and Marco for their hospitality and wish them all the very best for their future together.
We are busy preparing their images from the day so while we are doing this we hope you enjoy these few images.
The following link will take you directly to their online galleries within our client area. The images below are already there if you wish to view and purchase any of them. All of the photos from the day will be available to view there as well as soon as we have finished editing and seen Lisa and Marco. You will need the password provided in order to access the galleries.

Off Shore
Bucket Brigade Brewery
Ignite the party at the new Bucket Brigade Brewery! The spark was started by twin brothers Karl and Kurt Hughes, career firefighters from Cape May County who started as volunteers in Erma.

Two garage doors roll up to expose views of Main Street, welcoming the summer breeze as you cool off with a cold beer in hand.
Aside from the firehouse theme, the renovated building holds many pieces of Cape May County history. The bar top is made of reclaimed wood from the MV Twin Capes, a retired ferry from the Cape May-Lewes terminal, the bar rail is from the old Buck Tavern, and other wood accents are from the original H B Christman & Son in Wildwood.
Bucket Brigade offers tours, tastings, apparel and accessories. Before enticing your palate with Bucket Brigade's unique flavors, be sure to take the tour and learn all about the brewing process. Then, let the friendly staff members help you figure out what taste is for you.

With a variety of ales, pilsners and lagers, all beers are brewed with one thing in mind: extinguishing your thirst. Grab a pint of your preferred beer, or get a flight of four tastings to discover your flavor. Once you find it, purchase a growler to bring your favorite beer home!
Come experience Bucket Brigade's firematic, handcrafted, quality brews in a fun, exciting atmosphere. Stop in and Join The Brigade!

You need a business plan. Whether you are just starting a new business or getting ready for the coming year, it always pays to know where you stand and where you are going.
With our Four Step Business Plan, established small business owners can easily find their "You are Here," mark on the map, set reasonable and obtainable high-level goals and pinpoint potential obstacles and opportunities along the way.
Keep it Simple.
Make it Smart!
The first step and sometimes the hardest step in reading a roadmap is determining your current location. Yet, without that "You are Here" mark, you are sure to get lost and stay lost. The same applies to your business plan.
Take about four hours during the next two weeks to determine your current location with a brief, in-house SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats) Analysis for your business. Don't over complicate it; a simple list will do.
To help you get started, we found this SWOT Template on MindTools.com and added a few of our own suggestions.
Note: Mindtools is a paid membership site. SPS is neither associated with their organization nor promoting membership.
Once you've completed this important step, save it in a folder called Business Development! It is page one of your business plan. Now that wasn't too bad, was it?
Get a detailed description of a SWOT Analysis with templates from Wikipedia.
View the full SWOT Analysis article on Mindtools.com
Using the SWOT analysis you have already completed, continue your simplified business plan using these simple steps.
Believe it or not, you are well on your way to having a complete, although simplified, business plan.
For those complicated action items that need more in-depth research and possibly a plan of their own, consider using a good project management system, or at least develop a list of things-to-do, prioritize and set due dates.
Apptivo is just one of many online project management tools we found and tested. It works well with Google Apps, includes CRM and Project Management tools, plus invoicing and more. We found the user interface to be a bit clunky, but the price and available features outweighed those minor inconveniences.
With just a little homework, we'll go from business plan to budget.
In this step, we will determine if you will need additional resources for each action item, put a price on those resources and add the additional expenses to your budget.
Open your spreadsheet named 2017 Business Development (view example) and give it a quick review. After the Resources Needed column(s), insert the following new columns:
Starting with your strengths from the SWOT Analysis, document the resources, talents, and skills currently available that you will utilize in completing each action item.
Document any resources necessary that are not currently available, such as additional staffing requirements, HR skills, accounting or payroll software, or other online tools you may need.
For each resource needed, calculate and document your estimated monthly expense for each additional resource needed.
For each resource needed, add any one-time purchases you may need to make or one-time expenses. See ** below.
That was easy! Now, you have a list of action items ranked from highest to lowest priority. You have estimated any additional expense you may incur and you have a better idea of what it will take to keep your business running for the next year. You can very easily add these expenses to your monthly operating budget or submit them to your accountant.
**Be thorough! For example, if you determine you will need to hire additional staff, make sure you factor in the steps and expenses it takes to recruit, hire and train them. Also, determine whether or not you will need to purchase new equipment or tools for their use. Include their salary as an additional expense, as well as all benefits, payroll taxes, etc.
Adding staff also increases administrative costs. SmartPayroll Solutions offers affordable, online payroll, workforce management, and HR services that can help you keep those costs down. Contact us today and we will help you budget and prepare for a solution that fits your business.
Document your research. If you are researching business services, add a new tab to your worksheet, and list what you find as you go including contact information, URL, price, etc., and save it for future use.
AND Make it Your Own
Every small business owner has dreams and plans for their business. Some are satisfied delivering services or products within their local community. Others have goals of reaching a wider target audience. Regardless of your short and long-term business goals, it pays to take time to document those goals and track your progress.
You have already defined high-level action items necessary to sustain your small business. In this step, simply review each action item carefully, looking at it from a different perspective. Think twice. Make sure the plan takes your business where you want it to go. Most likely it is right on track, but adjust if necessary to make it the perfect fit.
There are some items you may want to add in order to grow your business; e.g. reducing operating costs with the right workforce management tools, expanding your SEO results to reach surrounding communities or improving community marketing results to retain clients.
Once you have identified and documented any missing pieces, you will have realistic, measurable business goals for the upcoming year.
Being your own boss and still not enjoying your job is a sad situation. Make sure you factor in your personal dreams and priorities. Your plan also needs to take you where you want to go.
Once you are satisfied with your business plan, it may be time to start chipping away at those goals. Break them down into tasks, assign responsibility and due dates, and determine how you will track your progress.
Make it fun with brainstorming sessions over coffee, but forget the bran muffin…you've earned a doughnut.
If you are a small business owner, it is highly possible that your business depends solely on your personal, skills, talents and availability. Take your own personal strengths, weaknesses and challenges into consideration if that is the case for your business.
Again, if you are a one-man-band, consider that a potential weakness. What would happen if you become unavailable for any length of time? Are your clients protected in the event of your absence?
Note: Useful opportunities can come from such things as:
A useful approach when looking at opportunities is to look at your strengths and ask yourself whether these open up any opportunities.
Some things can be both opportunities and threats. Look closely at your threats and determine what it would take to use that to your advantage. See example**
**A CPA may consider changes in federal, state and local tax laws a threat due to the constant learning curve and required system changes. However, looking on the bright side, those same changes create a need within their client base. That need creates opportunity.
The Four Step Business Plan was submitted by Denise Mistich at First Up Marketing Services. If you need help with your business plan, feel free to contact her directly.
If you are in the planning stages of a new startup, these steps will certainly help, but you may have just a little more work to do. Here is a tool from the Small Business Association to help you get started with a business plan.
We also did some research on business planning software. If you want a more detailed, full lender-ready business plan, take a look at these affordable online options.

(Stunt Junkies) In this never-before-attempted stunt, Luigi Cani will BASE jump off a cliff with a speed bike; however, instead of going down with the bike, with the help of a specially designed wing suit, he will fly up and away from the bike. Luigi is the only athlete known to date that has worked with the specially designed jump training program and wing suit, which enables him to fly up and away from an object rather than down.
Another twist? Luigi has never BASE jumped before! So, he'll need to start with a basic BASE jump course to prepare for the stunt. From there he will do several high-speed skydives wearing the special wing suit in order to train his body for flight position with great horizontal projection. Then, he will do test rides with the motorcycle wearing the special suit and the BASE harness to make sure that he will not be lifted up and off the motorcycle while riding at high speeds.

One of those face is that of Indonesian journeyman Samuel Tehuayo who has done the Thai circuit lot recently with 7 fights this year in Thailand. The most of those was his second bout of the year against former world title challenger Pigmy Kokietgym.
The Indonesian fighter does what he typically does and put up the sort of fight that sees him surviving the rounds and making some of them close but never really looking like he's trying to actually win. It's frustrating but it does get the home fighter some rounds. For someone like Pigmy however this was a relatively pointless exercise and Pigmy doesn't really need these type of rounds, though we do suspect the Thai is coming to the end of his long career and he did look very tired at times here.

Pigmy Kokietgym Vs Hekkie Budler
If we can say just 1 thing about 2014 it's that the year hasn't been a good one for Asian fighters at 105lbs. We've seen Xiong Zhao Zhong lose the WBC belt to Oswaldo Novoa in an unexpectedly 1-sided beat down, we've seen Merlito Sabillo get beaten up by Francisco Rodriguez Jr and we've seen Rodriguez Jr also defeat Katsunari Takayama. It's fair to say if you're an Asian fighter in Minimumweight the year is one you'll want to forget, well unless you're Kosei Tanaka who appears to be on the verge of a break out year.
Another Asian to have a set back in 2014 was Thai veteran Pigmy Kokietgym who was easily seen off by South African fighter Hekkie Budler in a WBA title fight that further rubber salt into the wounds of Asian fight fans.
We won't ruin this bout too much, other than saying Budler beat Kokietgym, but it should illustrate what Budler is about ahead of his upcoming defense against Zhong in what could be one of the more even matches at the top of the division this year.
Pigmy Kokietgym Vs Samuel Tehuayo
Indonesia's Samuel Tehuayo may not be a big name but he's becoming one of the staples of the Thai scene where he is used frequently as a journeyman. His most recent bout saw him battling against Thai veteran Pigmy Kokietgym.
The performance, by both men, wasn't amazing though it did show why the Indonesian is so popular in Thailand with his his toughness and happiness to throw back. Tehuayo might be very limited but he does come to fight and is capable of being very entertaining and for that alone we need to like him more than the fighters who turn up to lose.

What's the best part about back-to-school season? Clothes shopping, of course! Although my academic adventures are over, when the weather starts to cool, I get nostalgic for trips to the mall and wardrobe updates. Sometimes, I'll brave overflowing fall crowds and try on jeans I in no way need (how many pairs are enough, really?) just to get a dose of that back-to-school-shopping high.
The mall has always been more than a mere retail venue, though. For decades, it's been a place to aimlessly hangout, socialize, and while away one's suburban adolescence.
If you'd rather skip the crowds and instead buy outfits with the click of a mouse, you can still appreciate mall madness from a safe distance. The following five movies feature scenes that capture the nostalgia of a day at the mall.

Cher's second home was the mall, where her best friend Tai even had a dramatic dangle off a second floor railing thanks to a couple of bad boys. Good thing Christian was able to step in and save the day.

While learning the ropes of the Plastics clique, Cady couldn't help but compare her companions' social norms to those in the animal kingdom. In her eyes, the mall was akin to a watering hole in a savannah.

In just a short time span at their local shopping center, a bunch of young 20-somethings partake in a game show for love and avenge their wrongs. It's practically Shakespeare with the wit of Kevin Smith.

A film with this title is, like, totally going to give us some rad '80s mall moments.

The once well-known Sherman Oaks Galleria, glimpsed in Valley Girl, was additionally the shooting locale for Fast Times, where teens not only spent their money, but also earned it, too. Rock those shiny red bow ties, girls!

Paddling strokes: Sabine River sand bass report
Folks, the quick report of kayak Sand Bass fishing the Sabine River this week to McFadden's Landing is, 'the trip was fantastic!'
Thirty-four sand bass, each weighing close to three pounds, were caught using light spinning tackle with Road Runner lures.
The detailed report is every time I fish, I learn something. This trip was an education. Most of the people fishing around me in flat bottom boats or bass boats caught just a few. The technique I happened onto was the difference.
The first Sand Bass caught was on the second cast so I thought this was going to be easy, but after a couple of hours and only catching nine, my skills were being challenged.
Just by happenstance I slowed down my retrieve to a crawl and started picking up Sand Bass on a "soft" bite. Most times I didn't know a fish was on; didn't feel the take. Once I set the hook up, the fight was on. These fish swam up into the Sabine River from Toledo Bend Reservoir to find a place to breed (spawn).
These fish are horny, hungry and angry which makes for an exciting fight to land. Soon there will be millions of Sand Bass in the Sabine River and even with a liberal 25 per day limit, the numbers do not decrease from year to year.
I parked my kayak next to a steep sandbar, and I would cast out into the middle of the River.
I let the Road Runner (1/4th oz., Marabou orange, yellow) sink and then began a "slow roll" retrieve. The bottom was clean and sandy. The Sand Bass would pick up the lure with a "soft bite" and not swim away making the take a trick to feel.
I did do some false sets but setting on a fish created the sought after tug, the "drug" of fishing. In two hours I caught 25, a limit, from this one hole. I caught five on six casts!
Learning to "read" the sandbars, current and river are critical to finding the "holes." This location was within sight of the put in at McFadden's Landing and brought back a remembrance of the Perpetual Hole at FM 2517.
Amazingly, I did not lose a single Road Runner.
You should have been there!
Until we put in again.

Minister of State Ciarán Cannon, TD - Address to the Asia-Pacific Ireland Business Forum
Speech16 November 2018
Fáilte, Sawadee Khrap (pronounced sà.wàt.dee.crap), Welcome.
A chairde, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it is my distinct pleasure to be here in Bangkok with you this morning and to welcome you all the Asia Pacific Ireland Business Forum.
I wish to first acknowledge and thank Paul Scales and the team at the Irish Thai Chamber of Commerce for organising this year's event and putting together such an exciting programme. Events like this show the role the regional chambers can play in helping us all to work closer together.
This forum provides an opportunity for the Embassies, State Agencies and Irish businesses to come together, network, share experiences and build long lasting partnerships.
Over 43 Years ago on the 27 June 1975 Ireland and Thailand began Diplomatic Relations and in those years we have seen a deepening of our bilateral relationship particularly in the areas of trade and investment, tourism, and education.
In 2015, to mark 40 years of Diplomatic relations between our two countries, the Irish Government opened our Embassy here in Bangkok.
This signaled a significant shift in the strength and depth of Ireland's relationship with Thailand and is a very clear indication of our strong desire to enhance every aspect of our relations.
Since then we have seen an even greater focus on these key areas of cooperation. More Irish companies are looking to Thailand to establish operations and work in partnership with Thai enterprise. Thai investors and companies are looking at Ireland to see all the offerings that we have as a country. More Thai students are coming to Ireland to study and avail of our world class education system, an increase of 300% over the past four years and one which we are keen to see grow even further.
In 1963 US President John F. Kennedy quoted George Bernard Shaw, who speaking as an Irishman, summed up an approach to life when he said: "Other peoples, see things and say: 'Why?' ... But I dream things that never were—and I say: 'Why not?"'
This approach to life is evident in the Irish community's ambition and success around the world. It is also an approach of Irish Businesses who have expanded across the globe seeking new opportunities, new markets, new innovations, and new partnerships.
With a diaspora of 70 million, the Irish people have been innovators and leaders in business and enterprise in almost every country in the world for decades and continue to ask and answer that simple question of why not. Their ambition and determination to succeed is what has made Ireland and Irish Business the successes that they are today. Although we come from a small island on the edge of the Atlantic, Irish businesses have never let that stop them becoming global players and global leaders. Indeed, the thriving success of our national games internationally, best illustrated by the Asian GAA Games taking place here in Bangkok over the week-end with over 1,000 people attending from across the region, is another example of the enterprise and commitment of the Irish diaspora.
Back home, for the past two years Ireland has had the fastest growing economy in the European Union. While our economy continues to experience solid sustainable growth, it would be remiss of me not to mention one of the biggest challenges facing Ireland which is of course Brexit.
Given our close trading, economic and political ties to Britain, Ireland stands to be most impacted by Brexit among EU Member States. That said, we remain confident that our economy is resilient and that appropriate fiscal policies are in place. This will help us to adjust to the economic effects of Brexit.
I cannot say strongly enough that Ireland is fully committed to the EU. Our membership of the Union and the Euro zone remains central to the success of our open, competitive economy and has been the foundation for much of the economic and social progress we have made over the last four decades.
We are an English-speaking country in the EU, with direct access to the EU's Single Market, and in the Eurozone. We have a well-educated population and we are committed to a business-friendly environment, for businesses large and small.
An important focus of our planning and preparation for Brexit is deepening the Government's analysis and understanding of the exact consequences of a range of different possible scenarios. This detailed contingency planning is continuing and intensifying, across all Government Departments.
We are now in the critical final phase of negotiations between the EU and the UK on the UK's exit. We remain focused on our priorities for the negotiations, including protecting the Northern Ireland peace process and minimising the impact on trade and the economy.
Our endgame objective is to achieve a close and positive future relationship between the EU and the UK. This is of benefit to us both, and to our partners in the wider world.
Ireland - IDA
Our committed membership of the EU is of course a key offering to our economic partners around the world. Over 1,300 foreign-headquartered companies have significant operations in Ireland. They are drawn by Ireland's young, highly-educated, highly-skilled, multi-lingual work force, the strong base of existing FDI companies, the proximity to the European market, a consistent, attractive corporation tax regime of 12.5%, a much improved cost competitiveness and a safe and secure Common Law jurisdiction.
These companies are some of the world's most recognisable and innovative companies. They include:
· 9 of the top 10 global pharmaceutical companies
· 9 of the top 10 global software companies
· All 10 of the top 10 born-on-the-internet companies
· 13 of the top 15 global medical technology companies
· 15 of the top 25 financial services firms
· 7 of the top 10 industrial automation companies
They choose Ireland for the factors I have mentioned and because we offer barrier-free access to 500 million consumers, an established track record for attracting and retaining global multinational companies and strong incentives for research and development. One third of our population is aged under 25, giving us the youngest population in the EU. We also have a highly educated workforce – 52% of 25-34 year olds have a third level qualification – higher than any other EU country. Our education system ranks in the top ten in the world and we have the highest proportion of science, maths and computing graduates in the OECD. So we are a country with great future potential too.
Increasingly, Ireland is attracting companies from the Asia Pacific region who are using Ireland as a cost-effective base to do business in Europe. Regional giants from Asia Pacific such as, Huawei, Tata, InfoSys, Lenovo, SMBC, Trend Micro, Bank of China and Indorama from Thailand have all established a presence in Ireland.
But Ireland is not only for the multinational giants. As the Silicon Valley of Europe, Ireland is one of the most recognized global tech hubs, where fast-growing, disruptive technology companies can scale and internationalise their business. My Government provides significant support and assistance for companies setting up in Ireland, especially in areas of Research, Development and Innovation.
Irish Companies Abroad – Enterprise Ireland Irish industry and exporters also continue to make their presence felt globally. 2017 was a record year for Enterprise Ireland clients, with international sales of €22.7 billion. This performance shows the strength and capabilities of Irish companies, from start-up entrepreneurs to SMEs and our own home-grown multinationals, competing at a global level.
Ireland's trading relationship with the Asia Pacific region has grown substantially over the last five years with more than 600 Enterprise Ireland clients exporting over €2bn of innovative goods and services to the Asia Pacific region and we have an ambition to increase this by a further 50% by 2020.
There are nearly 300 exporters to the ASEAN region and the Enterprise Ireland team is structured around key sectors of opportunity including: Aviation & Travel Technologies, Education, Industrial products, Digital Technologies, Healthcare, and Fintech.
These are great examples of sectors where Ireland has significant innovation and expertise, providing high-added value solutions and where the EI team is facilitating introductions between Irish and companies from the Asia Pacific region to deliver on specific opportunities.
Food is an extremely important industry for both our countries, and some of our larger Irish companies not only have a presence in Thailand, but across the Asia-Pacific region. Ireland prides itself on food and food research and technology. With a growing middle class seeking new sources of reliable and safe food, Ireland's reputation in food safety stands tall.
The theme of today's forum is 'Sustainability – Building Long Term Success for Irish Companies in Asia'. I urge you all to take the opportunity today to network with each other, learn from each other and build long lasting partnerships with each other in order that you all can achieve the sustainability and success that you desire.
Thank you very much for your attention and I wish you all a useful and successful attendance at this year's Asia Pacific Ireland Business Forum.

Winner of the 2017 Toronto Book Award
A remarkable memoir about achieving prosperity in the face of relentless prejudice
In the Black traces B. Denham Jolly's personal and professional struggle for a place in a country where Black Canadians have faced systematic discrimination. He arrived from Jamaica to attend university in the mid-1950s and worked as a high school teacher before going into the nursing and retirement-home business. Though he was ultimately successful in his business ventures, Jolly faced both overt and covert discrimination, which led him into social activism. The need for a stronger voice for the Black community fuelled Jolly's 12-year battle to get a licence for a Black-owned radio station in Toronto. At its launch in 2001, Flow 93.5 became the model for urban music stations across the country, helping to launch the careers of artists like Drake.
Jolly chronicles not only his own journey; he tells the story of a generation of activists who worked to reshape the country into a more open and just society. While celebrating these successes, In the Black also measures the distance Canada still has to travel before we reach our stated ideals of equality.
B. Denham Jolly is an award-winning businessman, publisher, broadcaster, and civil rights activist. He was the founding president of the Black Business and Professional Association and later served as the publisher of Contrast and launched Flow 93.5, Canada's first Black-owned broadcaster. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.
"As this memoir unfolded, I was more and more drawn to the author. . . The book is filled with lively sketches of legendary black Canadian activists." — Literary Review of Canada
"[Mr Jolly] holds nothing back in relating the story of his personal and professional life in Jamaica and here in Canada." — Pride News
"A fast-paced recounting of an eventful life."— Toronto Star
"As a kid growing up in the GTA, and as a huge Hip Hop and R&B fan, I was introduced to Hip Hop and R&B music by FLOW 93.5. All Urban music lovers in Toronto should feel an indebtedness to its founder, Denham Jolly. To hear Drake, Kardinal, or even Jay Z on a consistent basis, you had to listen to FLOW 93.5. This book gives you great insight into his story and should inspire young people to pursue their dreams no matter what the challenges." — Andre De Grasse, three-time 2016 Olympic medalist
"Denham introduced the first Black owned and operated radio station in Canada's history, and, in doing so, brought Urban music to Canada for the first time, introducing successful Canadian Urban artists like Drake, Kardinal Offishal, Jully Black, K-OS, K'naan, Swollen Members, Choclair, and many more to commercial airwaves. He is a recognized philanthropist and a visionary leader who possesses an uncanny balance of social, fiduciary, and political imperatives. On a personal note, he has impacted my life greatly as a mentor, friend and role model." — Farley Flex, Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award Recipient, National UNICEF Ambassador, B'nai Brith Canada Special Advisory Council League of Human Rights, and BBPA Harry Jerome Award Recipient for Entertainment & Community
"The memoir of Denham Jolly, In the Black, is a very important book; it's well written and a must read for anyone interested in a more just society." — Honourable R. Roy McMurtry, OC, O. Ont., QC LSM, Former Chief Justice of Ontario
"Read this dynamic history of a leader who has given much to the development of Canada's Black Community. We have made progress as Black Canadians because of the activism and advocacy of this giant of a man. Read his interesting life journey and his determination to give voice to the issues of the day. Denham Jolly has shown that with hard work, determination, and a readiness to 'buck the system' — to stand up for and with the community on social issues and injustice — one can accomplish much. This story of his life and his accomplishments is a must read for all who engage with their communities." — Honourable Jean Augustine, PC, CM, CBE, Former Deputy Speaker Canadian House of Commons
"In the Black is a must-read. In the face of one closed door after another, Jolly's perseverance against the odds is fascinating to observe. In the Black isn't just a broadcasting story, but also one of struggle, of the strength of the human spirit, and of ambitions realized. This book should be required reading for business schools, or for anyone with entrepreneurial aspirations." —Gary Slaight, CM, President and Chief Executive Officer Slaight Communications Inc.
"Part memoir and part manifesto, it documents Jolly's personal struggles while also chronicling the stories of an entire generation of social activists. It is a passionate narrative about personal ambition, a community's hardships and successes, and its search for a voice." — SirReadsALot blog

The microenvironment, or niche, in which hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) reside, is essential for their regulation. Since HSC number limits their clinical use, strategies to increase HSC through niche manipulation could increase the scope of their therapeutic application. The long-term objective of this proposal is to manipulate the bone marrow microenvironment to increase HSC numbers and thereby their clinical utility. To meet this objective, we established a novel experimental model in which treatment with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and/or activation of its receptor (PTH1R) in osteoblastic cells expands Long-term HSC (LT-HSC), thus identifying osteoblastic cells as key regulators of HSC. While defining mediators of PTH action in the niche, we discovered that Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which is released by osteoblastic cells upon PTH treatment, selectively expands Short-term HSC (ST-HSC) in vivo. Such exquisite and specialized regulation of HSC subsets has not previously been achieved, but we believe that it will have important therapeutic implications. Therefore, we have developed two unique experimental tools to define HSC regulation. Based on our observations, we hypothesize that independent mechanisms selectively regulate LT-HSC and ST-HSC and that these have different effects on HSC regulation. To demonstrate this hypothesis, this proposal will pursue three specific aims.
In Aim1, the specific cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate LT-HSC expansion in response to PTH will be defined in vivo by pharmacologic and genetic means.
In Aim2, the specific cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate PGE2-dependent ST-HSC expansion will be defined in vivo and in vitro.
In Aim 3, interactions between regulation of LT-HSC and ST-HSC will be established. Data from the studies proposed in this application will 1) define the PTH and PGE2-activated mechanisms regulating LT-HSC and ST-HSC;2) identify interactions between these mechanisms which could be exploited for targeted regulation of HSC subsets in the setting of specific therapeutic need. The studies proposed are therefore designed to result in findings that not only advance the understanding of stem cell regulation, but also devise pharmacologic strategies that can be brought back to patients, directly impacting their clinical care. The availability of PTH and PGE2 receptor specific agonists makes these studies particularly timely for future translation to human therapy. Using two novel in vivo experimental tools, this project will determine specific regulatory mechanisms, direct and indirect, that control HSC behavior, and that can stimulate differentially subsets of HSC which have different properties. Since HSC give rise to all blood cells, these regulatory mechanisms could be therapeutically exploited to increase HSC in specific situations of blood cell injury or deficiency.

AI Modular Behavior Tree
This topic references tools and features that are legacy. If you want to use legacy tools in Lumberyard Editor, disable the CryEntity Removal gem using the Project Configurator or the command line. To learn more about legacy
features, see the Lumberyard Legacy Reference
The Modular Behavior Tree (MBT) is a collection of XML-based nodes that describe rules, behaviors, and tasks for AI agents to follow.
AI signals are sent either from the MBT itself using the Signal node or from code. A signal sets a tree variable to true or false when it is triggered. Tree variables can then be used to make decisions in the tree. Timestamps are set when an AI signal comes in, and can be used to check how long ago something happened.
An example tree structure is shown here:
<BehaviorTree> <Root> <Sequence> <Log message="Test" /> <WaitForEvent name="OnEnemySeen" /> <Move to="Target" speed="Walk" stance="Stand" fireMode="BurstWhileMoving" /> <Halt /> </Sequence> </Root> </BehaviorTree>
Each node can have parameters to configure the behavior of its execution. When passing
unacceptable value the parsing of the node could fail and an error message could be
inside the
Editor.log or
Game.log files.

Product Reviews
2016 BMA Awards: Highly Commended, Basic & Clinical Sciences
"The newest (2015) and the 41st edition of Gray's Anatomy is a mirror on the explosion of medical knowledge that has occurred over the past 8 years since the 40th edition was published. the 41st edition of Gray's Anatomy is the single most important text a radiologist should own. Buy it not only for its practical and intellectual/educational value but to have in your possession-a slice of medical history."

These are the educational projects which form part of the school's official 'Projet d'Ecole'. They are listed chronologically, starting with the most recent and including all the activities since the beginning of the school year in August 2017.
No archive is available before this date on this site.
On Friday, April 20, 2018, the film "C'est quoi le bonheur pour toi?" was screened in the school's amphitheater.
On Friday, 15 December 2017, the Association of Parents of Pupils (APEP) organized for two travelling circus artists to perform at the school. It was an entertaining and appropriate performance.
After that a bag of books, which had been deposited by Santa Claus, was discovered, and put into the library.
Finally everyone had biscuits and juice. This activity was sponsored by the APEP.
From the 6th to the 9th December 2017 the school took part in the 'Cap Tamarin Shopping Centre' Christmas Market. Our students helped Devid, a local artist paint a set of three frescoes at the shopping centre. The GS (five year olds) and the CM1 (nine year olds) made two mandalas with coloured rice. On Saturday, 9 December, the day of the market, many of our students came with their parents to sing carols in the 'Cap Tamarin Shopping Centre.
In the last few years, we have organized a count-down to the End of Year school holidays. This year the CP2 were in charge of organising and introducing the various activities. Each class had an opportunity to entertain the primary school for about ten minutes in the morning before classes. We had jokes, songs, riddles and charades.
The two CM2 and CE1 classes and the CE2 class spent a day at the 'Porlwi by Nature' Festival held in Port Louis from 29 November to 3 December 2017.
The CM2 students (ten year olds) successfully set up science stalls on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th November and demonstrated air and water experiments. They varied their explanations so that even the youngest in the school learnt a lot.
As part of the Porlwi by Nature festival , from the 29th November to the 3rd Drcember the students in both the CE1 classes prepared, with two artists, origami packets with seeds in them, which were hung from a tree at the Apravasi Ghat for the public to " pick. It was a valuable experience for the students to work with the artists.
On November 20, 2017, we celebrated the International Day of the Rights of the Child.
Before that date, a lot of work had been done in each class on the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This Convention was adopted by the United Nations (UN) on November 20, 1989 to protect the rights of children around the world and improve their living conditions.
With the participation of all the children of the school, we made a film which can be seen at: https://youtu.be/oZmigLNOooU
On Friday, 10 November 2017, we commemorated the 99th anniversary of the First World War armistice.
A thank you to the students of CM2 for their performance on the occasion of the commemoration of November 11, 1918. They said memorably: "Peace is fragile, as it is easy to lose it, it is necessary to fight to keep it!"
CE2 students finalized their sequence on the Tamarin map, in English, on the field on Wednesday, October 18, 2017.
During this first period of the 2017/2018 school year, the teaching team worked to make it possible for each student to know who the staff in the school are. Naturally, each student knows who his teachers are, the documentalist who welcomes them once a week, the sports teacher, the school life manager who manages the supervision and extracurricular, the receptionist who calls the parents, the nurse and the psychologist, the director but also the technical and maintenance staff who allow us to work in good conditions. In this way, the cleaners introduced themselves to the classes they clean to teach the students to respect them and their work.
A project on politeness aimed to encourage every student to use the "magic words": "hello", "please", "thank you" and "goodbye". Several classes produced a poster on this theme. The students voted for the best poster which was then copied and displayed in each class and on the school boards.
The school hosted a "defibrillator" training, funded by Riverland, on Tuesday, October 17, 2017. The defibrillator is now available to us at the sports centre. Some of the staff at the school were able to update their initial training (offered by the school every three years).
On Wednesday, October 18, 2017, the kindergarten classes opened their doors to parents. It was the occasion to share the singing of songs in English and French with the parents and to enable them to discover the work done during this first period ... and to taste the coconuts of the court!
The CP students gave the kindergarten children a puppet show. Everyone was delighted! Well done!.
Both the CE1 and CE2 classes went to a screening of the festival Iles Courts, festival of short films, at the French Institute of Mauritius (IFM).
We celebrated the "Week of the Taste" from October 2 to 6, 2017. All classes participated. The students were able to work on the meaning of taste in the form of games, and various tastings...
The week ended with a Mauritian meal.
All recipes sent in by families have been grouped in a digital book, here it is here.
We would like to thank the parents and the canteen provider who played the game well.
Ten classes were able to benefit from the Serge Constantin Retrospective at Plaza and the IFM between September 20th and October 10th, 2017. It was an opportunity to discover this artist who is an important figure in the history of Mauritius.
Since the beginning of August 2017, a "Local Unit for School Inclusion" class was created at our school . A specialist teacher, Louis Baxellerie, and an assistant, Joelle Meunier, welcomed 3 students who are unable to be integrated into a normal class at their present level of development. These students are also included in their reference class during the school day. In order to encourage the integration of these otherwise capable students and to answer the questions of the other students, Louis went into the classes between 10 and 20 September 2017, with a film and discussion.

As expected, Kiss has announced its final global trek to be dubbed, the "End Of The Road World Tour." Fans have been waiting for some type of word on the tour when it came to light last February that an application was filed by the band with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, for the use of "The End Of The Road" in connection with "live performances by a musical band."
During last night's (September 19th) appearance on NBC's America's Got Talent, Kiss performed "Detroit Rock City" and told the crowd "This is going to be our last tour. It will be the most explosive, biggest show we've ever done. People who love us, come to see us. If you've never seen us, this is the time. This will be the show!" Dates are expected to be announced soon.
Kiss said in a statement: "All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who've filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years. This will be the ultimate celebration for those who've seen us and a last chance for those who haven't. KISS Army, we're saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we'll go out the same way we came in. . . unapologetic and unstoppable."
As most fans remember, back in 2000 and 2001, Kiss already performed a "Farewell Tour." The trek, which was the last to feature Peter Criss, played 142 shows over five legs, covering North America, Japan, and Australia.
Gene Simmons told us that a Kiss concert provides everything that good entertainment should: "It's uplifting, there's nothing negative -- we don't do political commentary. There are enough problems in the world without guys that wear more makeup and higher heels than your mom waxing poetic and prolific on all sorts of issues. They shouldn't. We make you forget about the traffic jam, and the fight you had with your girlfriend, and, like all the other things, just 'magic time' -- 'electric church.'"
Kiss along -- with Ace Frehley will be on board -- will next perform on "The Kiss Kruise," which runs from October 31st through November 5th on board Miami's Norwegian Cruise Line - Norwegian Jade.AUDIO: PAUL STANLEY ON KISS CARRYING ON WITHOUT HIM

IMIB Chairman of the Board, who noted that Turkey purchased a serious amount of granite from India without any quota, said that the sale of blocks to India couldn't go over a certain figure because of this quota, while there was tremendous potential. He requested that the quota implemented on Turkish natural stone by India should be totally eliminated and free trade should be allowed.
Prime Minister Vasundhara Rajesaid that he will take steps for solving the problems at the assembly after being briefed by his industry consultant.

Amanda Lemon, a repeat offender incarcerated at Baylor Women's Correctional Institution who is serving a 10 year sentence, shares how her second chance(s) gave her the opportunity to do something positive.
About three years ago, I found SOAR (Survivors of Abuse and Recovery) and that has been my saving grace. It's intense therapy for abused women in recovery and it has helped me to dissect through my traumas piece by piece...When you give yourself a second chance it gives you permission to give others that second chance.
