Dakota Shuetz ISA Finals Interview by Skates.Co.UK
Here we have Ben from Skates sitting down with Kota after he won it all at Deeside. I have to say I think it would do wonders to Kota's image if he would take the pads/helmet/gloves off when doing these interviews. But this one does provide a little insight into Kota himself and we get to hear a bit about what he and Lucky are up to.

Get sponsored by a company. its one of the biggest deals ever, and he is riding the fork. hahaha why the fuck would you ride for a company that you cant even ride there parts............ReplyDelete
- Ben GranthamOctober 30, 2012 at 2:53 PM
Lighten up, Ben clearly states that he got Kota's attention the moment he left the course.ReplyDelete

Dakota Schuetz World Champion! Why do you care if he has pads on or not? Seems like your in kindergarden Jordan, it just does not matter. I don't really think Dakota cares what you or anyone else thinks of his pads. I mean the man just said he just pulled Dakota off the ramps from the championships. Well doesn't really matter pads or not, he's the World Champion.ReplyDelete

This is so hard to watch.. This kid should never have been put on Lucky. He can't even talk to this guy or in front of the camera hes so fucking awkward. You aren't riding take ur pads off dumbass.ReplyDelete
AHAHAHA "High quality part" look at their new line.... its made from CHINA, parts made overseas suck. Lucky fucked up.Replies

HaHa go back to Vertx or whatever the company you stole from Lucky. Have some respect the kid with the knee pads is World Champion.Delete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2012 at 2:31 PM
lucky doesn't give a shit whether dakota wears pads or performs in an interview. they signed him because he DOMINATES at the park and stands on the podium with a trophy and a paycheck and a lucky shirt and a lucky scooter. its called an investment. and its paying off and i'm sure hurts your company. my sympathies. but he came to our shop and signed about 500 parts in an hour and was a great sport and showed lots of respect to everyone. we need more people like him and less like you in this sport, troll boy.Delete
- Matt OgleOctober 31, 2012 at 2:50 PM
Congrats to Kota. Definitely an awkward interview but Kota is such a champ and great rider. Scootering is a sport/art of personal expression and this is how Kota represents his contribution to the sport. His image may be a bit wack (i think we can all agree) but it's pretty cool that he has never given a shit about the online scene or other peoples opinions.ReplyDelete
so this is a kids sport now?ReplyDelete
so scootering is a kids sport now?ReplyDelete
Kota great job man!! I tell everyone that I think you are the best park rider in the sport!! And guess you just proved that. Sad to see so many jealous people that really care about you wearing knee pads. You shred bro and you are a great guy too! Keep schooling them bro!ReplyDelete

Name the examples of successful products or product categories that obtained that success by giving consumers only one or two options to purchase. Seriously, think about it for a minute. What mass-market products do you buy where you only have a single choice: buy the product or don't buy the product vs. choosing between multiple products that will suit your needs — some better than others.
Soft drinks? Cereal? Bread? Toasters? Pens? TVs? Cameras? Cars?
It seems absurd to think that of going to buy any of those products and only having one choice. One style of bread. One type of TV. One camera. But oh, 6 different brands for each, with each brand using the same feature set. Apple says "we know best for everyone" and so do everything in their power to make their ecosystem revolve around a very small set of devices. Some say that if Google doesn't follow suit, Android will not succeed, but that just doesn't make sense.
The very nature of "mass market" means appealing to a huge variety of consumers. From your dad to your 13-year-old daughter. From your grandmother to the college kid. How many times do they all agree on what they like or what they want?
Let's tie this back to Android as it's a hot topic on how bad fragmentation is for the success of Android. If you ask a developer, they will generally tell you they would like consistency across the Android platform to ease their development efforts. Dealing with fragmentation is (aside from the initial design and coding of a mobile app/game) the single largest headache for mobile developers. If you ask the business/sales guys, they will want a large install base for a platform to increase the available consumers to sell the products to.
As fragmentation increases, the cost of development increases but generally fragmentation leads to devices that appeal to a wider audience of consumers and therefore increases the available market size to sell products to. That leads to an obvious simple inference: if fragmentation increases the available market size at a rate greater than the cost of supporting the fragmented devices increases, you get more potential for profit. (I'll leave the discussion on the difference between 'available' and 'addressable' market size for the future)
"Old school" mobile developers will complain about fragmentation like anyone else (we complain about anything that takes more work!) but privately, most successful mobile developers that have been around for the last decade will shrug their shoulders and plow forward with their systems and processes they have in place to deal with fragmentation. Any developer that made money doing J2ME mobile games/apps should laugh at the fragmentation issues with Android since they're WAY less difficult to deal with than the J2ME fragmentation of the last decade.
Apple has been and will be wildly successful with their iOS platform for mobile devices. They'll have a limited set of devices they will design, sell and support and those will be extremely successful in the demographics for which they are targeted. But it's simple to see why it's impossible for them to have a higher market share in the long-term than Android.
Multiple manufacturers producing a wide variety of devices appealing to every demographic imaginable at price points from free to ridiculous guarantee that there will be more Android devices sold that iOS — and I suspect the delta will become quite significant over time. This is the very nature of fragmentation. It's why Google shouldn't (and probably doesn't) really care about fragmentation on Android and why, over time, Microsoft will need to let the Windows Phone 7 market fragment (in a controlled manner) in order to succeed as more than a niche player in the mobile OS space. It's one of the core reasons for the success RIM has enjoyed on BlackBerry and what will help keep them in the number 3 spot for mobile platforms for quite a lone time to come.
Fragmentation is not a problem or a bad thing. It is what drives the mass appeal of a product and what will, ultimately, be a driving factor in Android's success and BlackBerry's continuing appeal. Just because fragmentation can be difficult for some people to deal with, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. In the larger picture, fragmentation is about giving consumers what they want, and in the end, isn't that what making products is all about?


text: One way to measure an artist's influence, of course, is in the fans who replicate and reinterpret the work they love. So as David Bowie leaves this Earth, it's both touching and heartening to watch this video of amateurs (and a few pros!) doing their best Bowie, singing his first solo hit, 1969's "Space Oddity." Leading it off? Someone actually sitting in a tin can, far above the world.

Herbal Remedies For Spring
Spring is the season many of us are waiting for and this for countless reasons: the beauty of nature, getting rid of thick clothes, more entertainment opportunities and outdoor activities, etc.. However, spring brings along a number of problems: specific fatigue, allergies, awareness of weight and desperate fight against cellulite. Here are some herbal remedies that will help you fight against spring conditions.
Spring fatigue
A common season specific disorder, spring fatigue is manifested by a permanent state of physical weakness, dizziness and mild depression. Its causes lie in the reduction of vitamin reserves in the body. Besides a diet based on fruits and vegetables, a nettle tea, will definitely have positive effects on the entire body. Despite its rather unpleasant taste, it will provide you with the energy and vitality that you need for the warm season.
Spring allergies are quite common, even for the least sensitive people. Sneezing, watery eyes, cough and other types of respiratory problems appear during this season as the body's reaction to pollen and botanical parts flying in the air. As trees and flowers blossom during the second part of spring, allergies usually appear from late March to late May.
It is true that there are several efficient pills and that you can take some precautionary measures against these allergies. For example, you can protect yourself by installing nets in front of the windows or you can avoid spending too much time outdoors. However, it would be a pity not to enjoy the warm weather of spring in an attempt to prevent allergies. So, the best solution is represented by natural teas. Thyme, eucalyptus, nettle or red clover are the best options when it comes to allergies. Try to drink a cup of tea made from one or more of these plants throughout the period in which you run the risk of an allergic reaction.
Usually during the winter, our bodies do not get the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals, especially because we eat a lot of meat and processed products. This is why a powerful detoxification diet is recommended when spring approaches. Besides diet, which should exclude meat, fats, sweets, coffee and alcohol and that must include many fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking teas would be good idea. Among the most suitable herbal remedies for detoxification and weight loss include wormwood, green tea, chamomile and nettle.
You can further enhance the effects of this detoxification diet by adding a natural cleanse program to your regimen. Cleanses crafted with fiber and herbs are a gentle yet highly effective way to promote your body's own detoxification processes and help jump start your metabolism.

HOUSE OF ASSAD explores how a young man goes from dreaming of working in the humanitarian sector to being one of the most brutal dictators of the 21st century.
The series looks at the intricate workings of the Assad "dynasty", the rulers of Syria since 1970 following a coup d'etat by military leaders Hafez Al Assad and his brother Rifat Al Assad over three episodes. But while this dynasty may live the luxurious lifestyle of television dynasties such as the Carringtons, their brutality and need for power echoes that of the Tudors and other brutal dynasties of years past.
The three part documentary series opens by introducing the key players in the Syrian regime: Hafez, Rifat, Bassel, Bashar, Asma. It tells the story between commentary from Bashar Al Assad, footage from Syria, a narrator and interviews with people who have been closed to the ruling family - from previous US envoys to the Syrian regime to doctors who worked in the eye clinic with Bashar in West London.
The narrator poses the thesis or premise of the documentary within the first five minutes. They pose the question "How does this eye doctor end up killing hundreds of thousands of people". This juxtaposition between doctor and murderer, indicates to the viewer that there is far more to Bashar than what the world sees today.
This complexity that is established causes the viewer to become hooked, because we see that there is more to the family than what is reported or shown in mainstream news sources.
Throughout the first episode we learn about the first 20 years of the dynasty under the rule of Hafez and what the intended succession plan was, for Bassel- Bashar's older brother- to take power upon the death of Hafez, only for Bassel to die early. This caused a crisis, who would take over? Rifat, had made an attempt for power only a few years before, causing him to lose Hafez's trust and to be exiled from Syria.
Bushra, his daughter, though a strong leader, and most likely her father's preferred successor, was a female therefore causing her to be ineligible for consideration. He was left with his three younger sons, Bashar, Majd and Maher. Bashar was the eldest of the three and most eligible to take control following his father's death and thus was primed to take over the role of leader.
As the episode progresses, the location begins to alternate between the events that are taking place within Syria and the events that are beginning to shape Bashar in London. During the 5 years that he was living and working in London as an ophthalmologist, he met and married his wife, British born Syrian, Asma.
In many ways the documentary positions the viewer to like Asma as the documentary makers portray her as a feminist and civil rights activist, fighting for the rights of Syrians. It contradicts much of what we know about the Assad dynasty and how they have treated the people of Syria in recent years.
Towards the end of the episode, we start to see the beginnings of Bashar's regime and how he is going to behave on the international stage, and how he will go on to set himself up to be one of the most brutal dictators of the 21st century. This is despite at first appearing to be a promising, new face to lead Syria into the new Millenia.
This is a fascinating documentary, that promises to be incredibly informative and to reshape the thinking about the Assad family and the impact they have had on both Syria, but also the greater Middle East.
This three part documentary is something that I look forward to watching. If you have an interest in international politics or the events in the Middle East, this is a documentary to watch as it will help you understand not only the Syrian civil war, but also the rise of ISIS.

The Information Commissioner describes the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as "the biggest change to data protection law for a generation". GDPR is the result of years of work. The EU wants to give people greater control in terms of how their data is used.
So just how big is the problem which GDPR is trying to address? Here are some key facts to give you an idea:
80% of data breaches are a result of human error
60% of these data breaches are linked to a 3rd party
75% of companies in the UK have suffered a breach of some description
60% of organisations do not have a security budget
(Source – ARC Network and Security)
The changes the GDPR introduces this year will impact businesses of all sizes and when it comes to doing business online, it introduces a new set of requirements about how digital marketing data is collected and used.
If you're anything like us, the announcement of GDPR came as a shock and possibly sent you into panic mode. We've taken steps towards helping other businesses when it comes to GDPR (including holding two seminars on the GDPR topic in London and Southampton). We've also made some big changes already, to make sure we are compliant with GDPR. Once you get your head around the basics, it's not as scary as most of us are led to believe it is.
What could GDPR mean for your ecommerce or digital marketing strategies? What can you do to prepare yourself for when the Regulation becomes law in May 2018? Read on to find the answer to the questions you have, that others may not have been able to answer…
Everyone in your business has a responsibility for data protection compliance, however, it is useful for most organisations to have a data protection lead – someone who is responsible for ensuring compliance now and going forward and to act as a single point of contact within the business. This is true, even if you are not mandated by GDPR to have a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
Having a central data protection policy is essential in empowering employees to understand their responsibilities under the GDPR. As such, you should make sure you have in place a policy which sets out your company's approach to:
You may also find you will need specific policies for certain areas of your business (for example you may set a separate policy for the marketing team's compliance).
Whether you're looking at data protection for the first time across your business or if you're working out how your business and its data flow will be affected by the GDPR, you should carry out an audit of your data, systems and policies. This will enable you to ensure compliance as well as setting a benchmark for compliance if this is the first time you've looked at your data protection compliance.
Remember the GDPR accountability principle means it's up to you to demonstrate your compliance. Even if you're not mandated to document your data processing activities, it can be useful for you to document your business' procedures and processes. It will be best to document exactly what you have done to be compliant with GDPR and what you haven't done (all businesses, whether they are B2B or B2C will have different codes of practice to follow, and it is not necessary for all businesses to document the same processes). You may want to tie these in with your data protection policies.
Within a documentation of compliance you need to include your data retention period and provide explanations, example below:
1) Employer stores employee information (data subjects) for X years plus current due to data protection – it's the law.
2) A company stores information on prospective clients (data subjects) for a "business critical" period of time before it's deleted. Some examples below:
Generally, a prospect won't convert for X months/years, for wiggle room perhaps add a year so there is an opportunity to go back and revisit the quote at a later date. After this time the original information will be deleted, if the prospect were to enquire again it's likely the requirements will be different so the deleted data may not have been relevant.
Many eCommerce platforms, Magento included, will allow you to define when a cart will expire – this is generally managed by session duration and therefore impacts how long a user can be logged in to your website. It's worth noting that although the session has have expired the cart may still exist within the database, especially if the prospect had made their way to the checkout; resulting in their name and address being held within your system.
Similar to the example of Advantec, it will be advisable to remove prospect data after a certain period of inactivity. Often we encounter users which are either a one time or biyearly purchaser; before deleting customer accounts we strongly recommend running a report of last login dates to gauge your deletion threshold; perhaps cross-reference against the volume of orders – but again add plenty of wiggle room.
For example, Dan (our DPO) only buys brake pads for his bike from Evans Cycles – he has an account with them and buys new pads once a year, and everything else he tends to buy from Wiggle (although, other retailers are available). He purchases via his account when he's logged in (because he's a massive nerd and likes to have his order history at hand) – he'd be REALLY annoyed if every year as part of their data retention policy his account is deleted. So the customer account retention is very specific to the company themselves because the merchant has to think about brand protection and not making their customers angry.
In addition to the above, the quote database table in Magento isn't automatically maintained and can become very large depending on traffic. So it's worth getting a developer to write some code which will clear rows older than X days. We recommend checking your "Time To Purchase" within Google Analytics to get an understanding of what will be an acceptable timescale – perhaps cross-reference against reports from your database (if possible).
For example; Over the course of a week a certain website had 233 transactions, 20 of which the "Days to Transaction" was 28+. This gives you justification to not clear carts younger than 28 days old, but again you can increase this at your own discretion. As long as you're able to justify your decisions as "business critical" you should be fine.
Children need particular protection when you are collecting and processing their personal data because they may be less aware of the risks involved. If you process children's personal data then you should think about the need to protect them from the outset and design your systems and processes with this in mind.
Where possible you want to be able to provide a single reference point within your business, where employees can find all the relevant information they need to be compliant (policies, documented processes, single point of contact details, etc.). An intranet site is usually the best place to make this content available and usually, the DPO will be responsible for maintaining it.
If your staff are fully versed in the importance of data protection, they'll understand their own responsibilities, how your data protection policies apply to them within their roles and who to go to when they need help. Roll out generic training to the whole business, preferably in a classroom environment (rather than an online course) and run specialised courses for specific teams (e.g. data protection and marketing, data protection and customer services).
Data protection compliance isn't a one-off exercise. As well as dealing with ongoing compliance needs (e.g. subject access requests, making sure systems are secure), you'll need to make sure your employees are kept up to date with data protection and make sure that compliance is maintained. You'll do this by ensuring your policies are up to date and delivering data protection refresher training.
Keeping on top of developments with the law, actions taken by regulators across Europe, as well as national changes (e.g. Brexit) and keeping on top of best practice and mandated codes of practice (e.g. from the ICO), is all part of a Data Protection Champion's role. Even when the UK has left the EU, there will be plenty to keep notice of.

At Purple Griffon we pride ourselves with being an independent SME in the IT Service Management Training and Consultancy market. Being flexible (along with a keen eye for the current prices in the market!) We aim to provide you, the customer, with the solution to address your issues.
Whether this be training your staff in the latest offerings in IT Service Management (ITIL® to you and me,) Project Management techniques (PRINCE2®, APMP®, MoP® to name just a few,) or providing an expert consultant to help you address those issues that you never seem to have time to address, we will always aim to provide you with the appropriate answer or solution. All of our trainers and consultants have worked at the coal face and have years of experience to call upon in order to work out the appropriate solution for you. Remember, 'Best Practice' means just that - the solutions we will provide are based on somebody (possibly many!) having already experienced the pain, and as a result, worked out a number of solutions that can take advantage of, but without the pain.
Feel free to talk to us about your needs or requirements, whether it be a training or consultancy query, as we are more than happy to provide assistance or direction, and you never know, it may be the beginning of a long relationship.
Base entirely on Customer reviews, Purple Griffon has recently been awarded Leader status for ITIL® training by Course Conductor. This validates the quality of the ITIL® training courses we deliver on a day to day basis.
Having been in IT since time immemorial (well it does feel that way at times), I have mainly been involved in Operations or Operations Support roles for the majority of my working life. From the early beginnings with a car manufacturer (when IT was known as Data Processing, so shows you how long ago it was!), I have primarily worked in the Banking sector – until I was convinced (or was that blackmailed!?) that perhaps working for yourself was a better idea…..and from this little acorn, the oak tree that has become Purple Griffon was established.
So, Steve and I were the founding members back in 2002, and from these small beginnings, we believe that we have set up a training and consultancy company that really cares what the customer wants or needs - flexibility is in our nature.
I primarily focus on the day to day operation of the business, a key aspect of which includes the diversification of our portfolio of services and expansion in to new market sectors.
As a lead consultant and trainer, I help organisations improve their internal working processes and advise on many aspects of overall business improvement.
I am happily married with 5 children and enjoy skiing (or rather falling over), reading, science and technology and spending time with my family.
I've been in sales all my working life and I have worked in the ITIL® and PRINCE2® arena for over 10 years. With a successful track record of working with small, medium, and corporate organisations, I love helping my customers find the right training courses that will help advance their career prospects and benefit their organisation as a whole. Exceeding my sales targets whenever possible, I like to celebrate this with a glass of wine or two.
I am a mad cat lover and enjoy attending cat shows, in addition to spending time with my grandchildren whenever possible, while keeping fit with Zumba and lots of walking holidays.
Having been in sales all my working life, I am now a senior account manager at Purple Griffon!
I help take care of all our public and third party training course delegates, whether sorting bookings, finding suitable course, and arranging in-house training events, along with assisting everyone, with their day to day enquiries.
I really enjoy helping our delegates find the right course, and it's great to see them pass their courses with us.
Aside from work I have 2 children who keep me on my toes, and I also love exploring the Lake District, which we are so lucky to have on our door step.
My main responsibility is looking after the health and welfare of the team of Purple Griffon course elves who toil away in the Lake District sunshine to make PG courses as successful as possible.
My IT career began in 1986 at was then the largest computing organisation in the Southern Hemisphere, namely Australian Telecom. Since then I have worked in a variety of roles, including an IT department with just six people in it.
At Purple Griffon, I enjoy delivering Service Management training to delegates on both public and on-site courses. In each case, the goal is not just to get delegates a pass on the exam, but to enable them to learn something useful that can be applied in their work.
I am married with one daughter. After my family, my main interest in life is surfing (therefore on-site courses near beaches preferred!). I also enjoy reading about history and travelling.
I've been around IT for almost 25 years, many of those in the support and training environment.
This allows me to include many 'war stories' of my experiences, to try and make my training sessions more relevant, and, hopefully, bring the subject matter to life.
I'm very people-oriented and try to ensure my delegates have a thorough understanding of the subject matter, as well as confidence in approaching exams via applying the right approach and techniques. This helps to ensure that the delegate has the best chance of achieving a positive result.

Bon Jovi surprised 2,600 students with an acoustic performance during Fairleigh Dickinson University's commencement ceremony Tuesday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The unsuspecting graduates, who were the winners of a nationwide contest to have Bon Jovi crash their commencement ceremony, screamed and shouted in their seats as the singer walked on stage.
"Today marks the end of one chapter in your life and the start of another," Jon Bon Jovi told the proud graduates. "Enjoy the book. You're the one writing it."
"Our student response was incredible and thanks to their participation, FDU was the national winner," the university's president, Christopher Capuano, said after Bon Jovi's performance of his new song, "Reunion." "I'm sure that is something that we will all remember for a very long time."
The singer appeared on "Good Morning America" today as he was gearing up for the big surprise, hiding inside the MetLife stadium locker rooms.
"We had a nationwide contest to have Bon Jovi perform at your graduation," he explained. "I had written a song for a commencement I was giving, and since then it had turned into a record, a song on our new album called 'Reunion.' And so we're going to pop up and surprise the school who had the most votes to get us to come."
The song's chorus includes the lyrics, "Write your song, sing along, love your life … Learn to laugh, dare to dance, touch the sky … Take pictures each step of the way … Make this the best of the rest of your days … Start your revolution and I'll see you at the reunion."
Bon Jovi caught up with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Michael Strahan before the surprise performance, where the rock icon offered his graduation advice, saying he would tell the former students to "be careful of the words that you say, not only to others, but to yourself."
"Don't take any criticism too heavily, but don't accept the praise too loudly either," Bon Jovi added. "Be humbled in your approach to things."
He said that he hopes his song "Reunion" will be "a song that you'll be able to sing and relate to, and hear on the radio, and go 'That was a part of my graduation.'"
The contest, which partnered with MTVU, asked college seniors to share their best college moments on Twitter using the hashtag #JBJReunionContest.
Bon Jovi is no stranger to celebrating college graduations this week.
"Two of my kids are graduating college this week," he said on "GMA." "Stephanie has got her film degree and Jesse's got his political science degree, so daddy's going to two graduations."
As he was exiting FDU's commencement stage after his performance, he wished the class of 2017 "Good luck."

The virtual workforce comprises software robots that are installed on back-end servers, with the
capabilities to take over all the repetitive, admin driven processes facing the human workforce every
day. A variety of tasks can be executed independently without human intervention, freeing up
employees to focus their attention on more valuable business priorities. Robotic Process Automation
(RPA) is fast becoming the technology of choice across for a wide variety of organizations spanning any
vertical market. Enterprises who embrace RPA, across the front office, back office and shared services
divisions, are experiencing dramatic increases in business performance and ROI.
Some of the benefits of RPA include:
- Increase throughput – robots are 4-5 faster than humans and work 24/7
- Ensure compliance – robots deliver results with 100% accuracy
- Reduce costs – 10 robots can do the work of 100 people
- Increase employee engagement – let employees focus on the value-add activities
- Easily scalable – as your enterprise grows, you can scale up the power of Robotic Automation to match your changing needs
Examples of where RPA can be applied:
- Banking and Financial Services - Card Activation & Fraud Claims Discovery
- Insurance Claims - Processing & New Business Preparation
- Healthcare - Reports Automation & System Reconciliation
- Manufacturing - Bills of Material (BOM) Generation
- Hi-Tech and Telecom - Service Order Management &Quality Reporting
- Energy and Utilities - Account Setup & Meter-Reading Validation

Mother Nature never fails to impress us with its marvelous creations. It's only in nature where you are assured of discovering creation at its best. In the animal kingdom to be precise, there is so much to marvel about. From the most beautiful creatures that exist to the strangest ones that you will ever set your eyes on and even those that you will probably never lay your eyes on; some you have no idea that they exist at all. This article is a collection of the top 10 strange animals around the world. They may be fairly unpleasant to the eye or unattractive if you may but that is as far as the eye is able to see; they are cute in their own respect. This list is in no particular order but all the same these animals make it to the top 10 list of the world's strangest animals around the world.
10. Aye Aye
This animal has a very scary sight. It's a nocturnal animal and is rated as the world's largest nocturnal animal. Its origin is deeply rooted in Madagascar. This animal is very well adapted in terms of hunting for its food. Whenever it hungry, it sets on to fend for itself by tapping on the tress in search of larvae. Once it sure there is larvae, it gnaws holes in that tree, then inserts a finger and pulls the larvae out. In addition to larvae its favorite foods include sweet foods and fruits such as coconut and sugarcane.
9. Blobfish
It's usually found in Australia's and Tasmania's deep waters that rock a massive 600-1200 meters in terms of depth. It has a sad looking appearance. Its flesh can be described as a gelatinous mass with a density less than that of water. This density enables it to float on water without having to experience any loss in energy. The blobfish does not need any muscle to hunt for food as it is able to consume anything possible that comes its way. It has a unique characteristic of looking as though it has very difficult days which is the reason for its sad appearance.
8. Yeti Crab
This animal was not known until later in the year 2005. The Yeti crab is known in many circles as Kiwa hirsute. It's usually found in the deep waters of the South Pacific Ocean. In terms of its appearance, it's about 15 centimeters in length and its eyes are reduced to a large extent and surprisingly they are not pigmented. In addition it has pincers with lots of hairs which harbor the filamentous strain of bacteria which is very useful for detoxification purposes. It detoxifies water which is around the hydrothermal vents where it resides. This animal looks very weird and on first sight you wouldn't go for the idea that it's an animal in the first place!
7. Hairy Frogfish

Basic Survival Skills
Survival Training Course
Learn to adapt, improvise and thrive in the wilderness while under close and safe supervision.
The Basic Survival Skills course is the first in our series of survival classes that involves spending the night in the woods of our 160 acre Tekamah Training Facility. This course is designed to provide a challenging, yet comfortable experience so that students can learn time-tested outdoor skills and a mindset that are valuable for any backcountry adventure.
Class starts with a gear shakedown in the lodge and transitions quickly out into the woods to our rustic parachute camp. After a discussion on survival priorities around the group fire, students will be guided through the construction of their own shelters made from a combination of natural and man-made materials. Once the shelters are up, students receive in-depth lessons and practice time on fire craft, tool selection, and other survival-related topics. When the sun goes down, the instructor(s) prepare dinner, including dessert, over an open fire giving students the opportunity to work on knife skills and knot tying.
Day 2 includes breakfast prepared by the instructor(s), additional lessons on fire craft, emergency signaling techniques, all-natural shelters, and other topics relevant to the current conditions.
The confidence you will gain from our Survival Skills classes will remain with you long after the snow melts and ground thaws. If you still are not convinced, remember that the techniques we teach have been refined over many years and we take safety very seriously. There is always trained medical staff on hand as well as a temperature controlled bunkhouse for emergencies.

Rosa Ann "The Queen" Richards, 75, of Sheridan and formerly of Tipton and Cicero, passed away on Saturday evening, July 28, 2018 at Majestic Care of Sheridan surrounded by her loving family and caregivers.
Born Jan. 10, 1943 in Tipton, she was the daughter of the late Joseph Collins and Hazel (Davis) Trader.
She grew up in the Tipton area, attending school in Tipton's one-room school house. While raising her family, she worked seasonal shifts in town at Stokley's canning factory. After her children were grown, she would hire on at the health care center in town; a decision that would guide the rest of her working years. She loved taking care of people and started out working in the kitchen and later qualified as a CNA. This allowed her to take a more active role in caring for the residents. Many of her patients that she helped take care of throughout the years, truly became part of her family. Not only was she a wonderful caregiver, but she was an awesome cook. she was known by countless family and friends as the Noodle Lady; and for good reason, nobody made them quite like she did.
She married Francis Richards on June 16, 1989. He survives.
Mrs. Richards had a fun-loving side as well. She enjoyed playing BINGO and Yahtzee, but where she truly exceled was giving people a hard time. She could be a little feisty at times and enjoyed tormenting those she loved. It was this side of her that really endeared her to her caregivers.
Survivors other than her loving husband include her son, Richard (Crystal) Reecer of Kempton; two daughters, Kathy (Ritchie) Clanton of Cicero and Linda Wallen of Sheridan; her grandchildren; Sherri (Jeremy) Constant, Corey (Amber) Jones, Saundra Johnson, Jason (Angie) Reecer and her special granddaughter, Erin Buis; great-grandchildren, Kelcey, Hannah, Taylor, Jade, Wesley, Jack, Zack, and Grier; two great-grandchildren, Alex and Wil; and her animals, all of whom will miss her terribly, her grandcat, Baxter, three granddogs, Keila, Starr and Chance and by her feline BFF, Oreo.
She was preceded in death by her parents; eight siblings; and two great-great grandsons.
Services are scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2, 2018 at Kercheval Funeral Home, 306 E. 10th St. in Sheridan. Family and friends may pay their respects from 1 p.m. until the time of service. The Rev. Byron Fritz will be officiating.
Memorial contributions may be presented to the Activities Fund at Majestic Care of Sheridan, or to Kercheval Funeral Home to help the family with funeral expenses.

The comparison bears some scrutiny: Crown Wine Cellars located in Deep Water Bay on the southern part of Hong Kong island used to be a military ammunition depot during the Second World War; and like the most un-redeemable prisoners inside Alcatraz, the wines are guarded inside its concrete wine chambers with 24-hour security surveillance, and a full force of internal police force – as well as with other wine-specific measures such as recordings of temperature and humidity at five-minute intervals.
"So what we decided right in the beginning was the only way we could control things is to build a prison like Alcatraz. So we have these concrete chambers, separate concrete chambers and each one has its individual biometrics lock," said Greg De'Eb when talking to dbHK this week.
"My clients are never allowed in the cellar, and no case is ever opened inside the cellar, never! It's a golden rule. Anyone who has been seen opening a case inside that would be instant termination."
Today the cellar, which is largest in Hong Kong*, is chosen by auction houses and wine merchants including Sotheby's, Christie's, Bonhams, Heritage and Goedhuis as its designated storage place out of the city's current 43 HKQAA qualified wine storage facilities for having the, "most organised and regulated" wine inventory control system in the world, said De'Eb, who instituted an upgrading of its inventory system roughly five years ago.
"We instituted a whole series of incredibly pedantic processes that slowed down our registration, cost us a huge amount of money, but has made our wine inventory storage system the most organised and regulated in the world, point-blank. And we are incredibly open and clear about this," the former career diplomat, who served as Consul General of South Africa in Hong Kong, declared.
"First thing we did was that we realised we can't just weigh a case to the kilogram because all that is going to tell you is that a bottle is missing or not. So we weigh every single case when it comes in and when it leaves to the third decimal, a thousandth of kilogram," he said.
This ensures precision down to even neck level change in storage, which prevents any form of bottle exchange.
Continuing, he said, "Number two: on every single case we have four irreplaceable seals that are mobile phone scan-able, and the fifth is given to the client for safe keeping. So that means we can never ever change the seal and bamboozle the client, or open the case and change the contents."
But most importantly, the company lauds the use of destructible codes on every case. "That means it's like a rotation number that can never change and never be taken off the case and never be put on another case," he stressed, admitting in the past shifty workers linked to the Triads had scammed expensive bottles by exchanging inferior bottles or cases with more valuable ones. Today, no worker at Crown can access the concrete wine chambers without a chain of authorised procedures triggered by an online order from a client.
Compared with other storage facilities in the city, De'Eb claims that Crown Wine Cellars is the only wine storage in the world that has total and catastrophic insurance cover for every single bottle of wine to the current value on WineSearcher. "As far as I understand, nobody in Hong Kong or the rest of the world has comprehensive insurance. Nobody," he reiterated.
Wine storage industry split
Since 2003 when Crown Wine Cellars was first set up, the city's wine industry has exploded. With zero tax, and Hong Kong's proximity to eager and deep-pocketed collectors from the mainland, Hong Kong has become the most important fine wine capital in Asia, where auction results in 2017 trailed only behind the US but ahead of London, and has the highest per lot price.
This prompted the city's wine merchants and entrepreneurs to convert factories into warehouses to accommodate the city's growing demand for fine wine storage.
De'Eb, the company principal of Crown Wine Cellars, was among the first members in the wine trade to call for a government wine storage qualification certification scheme – now known as the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency Wine Storage Qualification Certificate which was introduced in 2009.
Nearly 10 years on, he fears that the wine storage industry has gone in two directions: one towards what he calls "volume warehousing" and another led by the likes of Crown Wine Cellars towards the top end of the pyramid of fine wine storage for serious wine merchants and collectors.
"I think the evolution of wine storage again has gone into two directions. Again on the bottom side, the volume storage, or what I would call volume warehousing for people that just don't care. They know they have something that has paper value and they trade it as if it's paper. They don't trade it as if it's wine. They genuinely have no emotional connection to the wine," he blasted.
Without missing a beat, he continued, crediting the first group of collectors as the foundation of the wine industry but also seeing their attitude to wine as, "a shame."
"They are the people who will trade with anyone and will buy from anyone. They are quite frankly, in a strange way, I know they are like the foundation needed in the wine industry but they are the shame of the industry because it's what takes away the passion, love, dedication, and caring," he explained.
These are the collectors who most likely would continue to buy from merchants and auction houses without much due diligence and scrutiny. Wine in this instance is more equated to an investment vehicle, where he fears that with all the speculation going on in the current climate in Hong Kong, a crash like 2011 might be imminent.
Then there is the second group of people that he calls, "wine intelligent", people who are discerning about wine insurance, the extent of their insurance coverage and storage security when selecting a wine storage facility – the same group of collectors that Crown is targeting, he added.
They, "are genuinely interested in what they are buying, where are they buying them from, and what the wine is. They exercise due diligence. It's not that they are more intelligent, they are just more wine intelligent, they have a clearer understanding of the entire cycle from terroir to wine," he said.
Auction overheat
Speaking of Hong Kong's glowing auction results, which in the past year jumped 7% to US$98 million with a price per lot of $5,643, much higher than the US' $3,285, as reported in Wine Spectator, based on results from Zachys, Acker Merrall & Condit, Sotheby's, Christie's and Bonhams, De'Eb warned that over-heated speculation is "the euphoria before the crash" similar to what happened after 2011.
"I fear it's happening again. There's so much liquidity and low interest rates running around. You feel that again wine is becoming another investment vehicle asset class. When that happens you've got to worry," he said emphatically.
"I don't think the beginning of the current craziness is based on consumption but a lot of speculation," he warned. "Then we have the additional problem and far more widespread problem of counterfeiting. It seems to me that wine traders, as opposed to the wine lover, have very very short memories. When you are just a trader you are sitting on an asset bubble and only looking at i like an investment vehicle. All of these touchstone words are very dangerous. That's when things like provenance go out of the window. That's when due diligence, anti-counterfeiting go out of the window."
*Crown Wine Cellars declined to comment on its exact number and value of wines stored at its facilities for insurance purpose but maintains it is indeed the largest wine storage facility in Hong Kong. The exact size of Hong Kong wine storage industry has not been publicised by the HKTDC.
