Come up here
To this high place
Look down
What do you see?
Sadness, bitterness. mistrust, spite
Blind leading the blind
Masses of people
Lost suspicious faithless waiting
They don't know what they are waiting for
Rushing, busy, stressed, panic
Time flies by
But they stay on the merry-go-round
Dizzy, and unaware
Debt, poverty, hunger, sickness
Yet they vote
Pay taxes
Prop everything up
Believe they are free
Ha, Ha
They rally, and support puppets
A conveyor belt of assholes
Fame seeking parasites
Their soul belongs to the highest bidder
War, manipulation, abuse,
Yet, they flock
Bless my child, Father
Then take your pleasure
Kill in God's, name
Don't matter which God
Just claim it's the true God
They hold bank accounts Of untold riches
Mainly collected from poor parishioners
Who can't heat themselves through winter
Prop up the church
Keep the faith
But walk past the man who holds out his hand
Just a glimpse of the world today
This is why!
He's coming your way

At first glance, this week's move by the investment bank Societe Generale to issue a security token-like bond in which it was both the issuer and the sole investor might seem like a pointless act. Not so much a peer-to-peer transaction; just a peer transaction.
But one element of the announcement suggests this was actually an important step in financial institutions' sometimes fractious relationship with cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. You see, Societe Generale's $112 million bond issue used smart contracts built not a private, permissioned blockchain but on the public, permissionless ethereum blockchain.

Well, you know how last week I needed to lose 0.4kg to get back to where I was?
I lost 1.9kg baby! (4 lb, for you poor souls in the US!)
That takes me down to 95.2kg (209 lb)
which means what? Well, I started at a bit over 115kg, (253lb) so….
I've lost at least 19.8kg(~43.5lb) since February this year!!!!!!
Oh, My, God. This is why maths is cool. *laughs*
Tony Ferguson Head Office has asked my TF Agency to put forward some people as potential promo folks. They've (My Agency) asked me if (if I fit the criteria, which they read to me and were equally confused by) I'd be interested in being a Tony Ferguson posterboy! (Includes $250/month to go towards fruit etc for the next 6 months). Apparently, I've been one of their biggest losers!
I am so psyched!

In a nutshell
The Warm Home Discount is a one-off payment of £140 (including VAT) to go towards electricity bills.
This is where things get a bit trickier, because the WHD is given to two groups:
Core group – – if you were a Boost customer and got the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit on the 7th July 2019, you're in the Core group and will receive a letter from DWP by December 2019, so you don't need to apply for it. The letter will tell you what you need to do next. We aim to make this payment as quickly as possible, but you'll receive it by the 31st of March 2020 at the latest.
Broader group - the eligibility for this group, depends on your personal circumstances. There are a lot of different circumstances that can make you eligible, which you can see here.
If you haven't received a letter by December 2019, please call the Warm Home Discount Scheme helpline on 0800 731 0214 (Monday to Friday, 8.30am-4.30pm). This helpline is for the Core group only.
The deadline for claiming a Warm Home Discount rebate is 28th February 2020, so make sure you get in touch by then, or you could miss out.
You'll need to apply for next year's WHD in Autumn 2020. You can pre-register for winter 2020/21 here. You can check if you're eligible here.
It's awarded on a first come, first served basis, so the sooner you apply the better.
The money is added straight to your electricity meter, usually between October and March. If you prefer, you can choose to add it to your gas meter instead.
Core group - we will apply the £140 to your meter as soon as possible following Department of Work and Pensions telling us if you qualify.
Broader group - we'll let you know if you qualify within 5 days of receiving your application. We might need you to send us some photocopies of documents to support your application. We'll apply the £140 to your meter within 6 weeks of you sending us these or, if we don't need any photocopies, 6 weeks after your application is successful.
Ofgem asks us to collect evidence from a random selection of applicants. Usually we can get the information from the Department for Work and Pensions, but sometimes, we might ask you for the evidence directly.
We'll give you plenty of time to send us the documents, but if you can't do it within the timeframe, we'll have to withdraw your application.
You should be able to ask for up-to-date copies of documents in the following places:
Working age income-related benefits: You can visit your local Jobcentre Plus office, or call 0800 169 0310.
Universal Credit: Call the Universal Credit helpline on 0800 328 5644.
Tax Credit Award notice: 0345 300 3900.
We can only base our decision on the information you give us. If you think you've made a mistake, you can apply again, but if your answers change then we might need more supporting evidence.
Find out about other ways we can help with bills over winter.
If you're in the Core group, you don't need to do anything and you'll still get the Warm Home Discount. We'll get your new details from the Department for Work and Pensions and apply the £140 to your meter.
If you're in the Broader group, then unfortunately, we won't be able to give you the Warm Home Discount, but you can still re-apply the following the year.
Core group – you'll get the discount from whoever was supplying your energy on the 7th July 2019. If that was us, you'll get the payment from us, even if you change energy suppliers.
Broader group – if you apply for the Warm Home Discount through Boost and then switch to another energy supplier, before we make the payment, your application will be cancelled automatically.

In today's program Dr. Reminga, from Northern Foot Care Center, talks about an unusual circumstance that could result in the loss of your babies toe. Dr. Reminga begins with a story about a mother whose baby girl had a thin hair wrapped tightly around her baby's middle toe. This is referred to as a hair tourniquet and can cause great distress for a small baby. Luckily, the mother in the story, was able to release the hair in time. If left on for too long, this type of "toe strangulation" can cut off circulation to the rest of the baby's toe which can lead to infection and sometimes… amputation. A hair tourniquet occurs most often in babies under 1 year old and commonly during their nap time. They may get a hair inside a footie pajama or sock and as they move and wiggle around, as babies do, the hair twists tighter and tighter around their toe. This can also happen with a loose thread from clothing or bedding but is less common. Human hair is elastic, and is more likely to cause the problem however.
Fortunately, parents or caretakers will most likely notice the hair tourniquet early on because it causes extreme discomfort for the baby as described in the story. The baby will be very upset and unable to be calmed down by the usual methods. The problem arises when the parent doesn't think to check their baby's feet because they're covered by socks and tucked under blankets. Once they see the toe, it's usually pretty clear that something is wrong.
In this program, Dr. Reminga provides helpful insight and practical information about hair tourniquets so that parents and caregivers are aware and prepared if they are ever confronted with this scary situation. Hair tourniquets can be common, but are rarely serious if caught in time and they are easily preventable if parents are aware of the risks and take steps to avoid it. Listen to today's program about a "Hairy Topic" that could help you resolve a painful and potentially dangerous situation for your baby.
Dr. Daniel Reminga's Weekly Radio Show "Your Feet Your Health" airs every Wednesday at 10 am & 5 pm on WKMJ 93.5FM, WMPL 920AM, WUPY 101.1FM radio. Listen to past recordings here.

How can you clear away that unwanted energy and limit how much you take in? Read more
The onion is one of the most versatile vegetables ever. If it's raw, it's a bit spicy, if you bake it, it's an essential base for zillions of dishes and if you slowly stew it, it tastes sweet. Besides, it's incredibly healthy.
Lunch dish, serves 4
Start by making the parsley oil. Put a handful of flat leaf parsley (washed and drained) and some sea salt in a food processor and grind it. Add a cup of olive oil in a thin trickle, while letting the engine run, until you have a nice green oil. Filter the parsley oil in a sieve (covered with a coffee-filter or some cheese cloth). Use the round side of a spoon to press the oil through the cloth.
Melt 25 grams of butter for the soup, with a little less than half a cup of olive oil in a wide pan on medium heat. Add 1 big Spanish onion or 4 regular white onions of medium size, coarsely chopped, and 5 cloves. Lower the heat and bake the onion in 10 minutes.
Stir every once in a while and make sure the onion doesn't discolor. Put 1 teaspoon of sugar on the onions and add the white part of 1 fennel, coarsely chopped, 1 clove of garlic, 2 bay leaves and 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped into small dices, and bake all of it for 10 minutes. Turn the heat higher and keep stirring while adding a little over half a cup of white wine and then a little over 3 cups of vegetable stock and (almost) a cup of whipping cream. Turn down the heat as soon as the soup boils, cover it and let it boil softly for 15-20 minutes. Finish the soup by removing the cloves and bay leaves and mashing it with a hand-held blender until it's completely smooth. Add salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg to taste.
For the onion flowers, preheat the oven to 356 *F. Peel the dry scale of four small red onions carefully, make sure you don't break the bottom, outer scale and upside of the onion. Put the onion on a cutting board (with the upside down) and cut almost entirely in half (stop cutting at about 1 centimeter from the bottom). Cut the halves in half again and again, stop cutting before you're at the bottom. Keep doing this, until you have 8 pieces and the bottom of the onion is still whole. Put the onions in a casserole (with the bottoms turned upwards) and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of olive oil on them. Cover with aluminium foil and grill for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and put back into the oven for 10 minutes, to make the ends of the 'petals' crispy.
Serve the soup in low bowls. Decorate with an onion flower and some parsley oil.

What Does an Ultrasound Technician do?
Ultrasound technicians image organs and other structures inside a patient's body using equipment that relies on sound wave technology. The ultrasound images or scans they capture are used to diagnose and monitor medical conditions, abnormalities or diseases. Ultrasound techs work in concert with other healthcare professionals, such as doctors and radiologists. They also help prepare patients for procedures, maintain ultrasound equipment, record patient history and present findings to the medical team. As diagnostic medical sonographers, they help interpret ultrasound images.
Are There Different Types of Medical Sonographers?
Because sonography is used on so many different areas of the body, most sonographers choose to specialize in one or more areas. These include: obstetric/gynecologic sonographers, who study the female reproductive system; abdominal sonographers, who inspect organs such as the gallbladder, bile ducts, kidneys, liver, pancreas, spleen and the male reproductive system; neurosonographers, who study the nervous system and the brain; breast sonographers who aid in mammography in order to detect breast cancer, track tumors, monitor blood supply conditions, and assist in biopsy of breast tissue; and vascular and cardiac sonographers, who study the heart and blood vessels.
How to Become an Ultrasound Technician in Ringwood?
Sonographers usually earn at least an associate degree or a postsecondary certificate in Ringwood, NJ. They may also earn professional ultrasound certification or state licensure related to a specialty. High school students interested in sonography should take human anatomy, physiology and mathematics courses. The final level of education that sonographers need depends on their career goals.
- Certificate program. Sonography certificate programs in Ringwood provide sonography training to people who already work in related healthcare jobs, such as nursing. Sonography certificates can be earned in as little as one year.
- Associates degree. Associate degrees in sonography in Ringwood are sufficient for entry-level positions. Associate degrees can be earned in two years.
- Bachelors degree. A bachelor's degree in sonography in Ringwood enables sonographers to become consultants or department heads. Students with a bachelors degree can also apply to a medical school. Students with an associates degree can earn a bachelors degree within two years. Otherwise, students usually complete a bachelors degree program in four years.
- Graduate degree. Graduate degrees in ultrasound technology in Ringwood are appropriate for students that want to teach at the university level. Advanced degrees equip students to perform specialized research and to publish their findings in medical journals. Most master's degree programs take at least two years to complete.
- On-the-job training. Sometimes, nurses or radiologists learn sonography on-the-job. In these cases, continuing education courses can supplement experiential knowledge. Most states require sonographers to earn medical continuing education (CME) credits throughout their careers in order to retain their ultrasound technician certification.
Ultrasound Technician Career Overview in Ringwood
Required Education Associate's degree is most common; certificate and bachelor's degree programs also available Certification Professional certification may be required or preferred by some employers Projected Job Growth (2013-2022) in Ringwood 48% Median Salary (2013)* (Ringwood) $65,567 Find A School
How do I Choose an Ultrasound Technician Program in Ringwood?
Accreditation – The accrediting body for medical sonography programs is the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health/Education Programs (CAAHEP). The CAAHEP has accredited 150 programs, including those offered by colleges and universities, as well as some hospital training programs. Though attending an accredited program is not the only way to become a medical sonographer in Ringwood, it does automatically qualify graduates to sit for the certifying exam and is universally recognized by employers.
Admissions Requirements – Make sure to research the admissions requirements of programs that interest you. Vocational, associate and bachelor's programs may specific courses in math, health, and/or sciences.
Career Goals/ Specialization – Because specialization is so common in sonography, be sure that your program of choice offers your desired specialty. Vascular and cardiac sonography are two particularly specialized programs that not all schools offer.
Curriculum – Look over the program curriculum and make sure that yours provides plenty of hands-on experience. Because sonography is a very hands-on, technical profession, this might be the most important part of your education.
Find A School
What is the Job Outlook in Ringwood?
The job outlook is bright. In fact, employment of sonographers in Ringwood is expected to increase by 34 percent between 2011 and 2022, which is much faster than the average for all occupations.
Much of the growth is due to the fact that ultrasound technology is increasingly being seen as a good alternative to more costly and invasive diagnostic procedures. It is also being used in more and more doctors' offices, diagnostic labs, and outpatient care settings.
Experienced professionals who maintain certification in multiple sub-specialties will continue to have the best job prospects.
Salary for this occupation depends a lot on geographic location, type of employer, part-time or full-time status, and level of experience. In general, though, the typical sonography salary provides a good living. In fact, ultrasound technicians have one of America's highest paying jobs without a degree requiring more than about two years of school.
Based on national estimates from Oct 2015, typical annual wages break down this way:
- Median wages were $67,5821.
- The highest-earning 10 percent made $91,281 or more.

Chunky boots are nothing new to fashion really, but they were kept in the background for a few years. People would still wear them, just not as often as they do now. I myself owned a pair of military-style boots for wear that I would rarely wear because I prefer my suede over the knee boots much more. this year, however, I got a pair of boots on Christmas and have been wearing them pretty much every chance I get.
Today, I've gathered a few different styling ideas to inspire you so you can rock this trend.

Melinda and I discovered last week that we're going to have a baby! Due date is currently predicted to be Oct. 16th, which happens to be my father's birthday.
While undoubtedly Melinda's got the toughest part of this job, there is a silver lining...she gets out of cleaning the kitty litterbox for at least 9 months :-)

We're all looking for Tuesday-makers, maybe only second to things-that-will-get-us-through-a-Monday.
A photography show full of snapshots of the City of Lights, of fabulous settings and le ultimate in fashion, is pretty Tuesday-making in our books. Those exhibits so often debut on weekends, and we're frankly tired of Friday hogging all the good stuff.
"Paris Fashion & Art as One" is opening on Tuesday, Aug. 17 at the Artlab Salon in Santa Monica. What's in the show: Beautiful photos from Steven Silverstein (he regularly covers the catwalk scene) as well as nearly a dozen people who also like to wield catwalk-close cameras. Mr. Silverstein, reads the site, helped these aspirants during a recent Paris Fashion Week. Mentorship. Nice.
So many of us would like to shut down the computer and walk around Paris. Right now. Wearing something fancy and possibly with a cape attached. Just for a day. Just for a brioche. And some enjoying of beauty. But Artlab is closer, and we're glad. Opening night party is from 7:30-9:30 p.m. There will be le music and le munchies, too.

Newborn photography has experienced a surge of creative developments over the last few years. Styles range from simple and beautiful lifestyle photos to elaborate and colorful stunners. In every newborn session, safety must always be the most important consideration.
With a combination of posing, styling and photoshop magic, unique and creative newborn images, especially with those where the baby appears to be posed on a tall or high prop, can be safely achieved with the use of digital backdrops and newborn composite images.
Here's how I safely and easily create newborn composite photos:
1. Plan out your final image.
Start with a pen and paper and sketch your ideas. Apply common photography composition tools such as the rule of thirds and framing, as well as color theory. Make sure to gather all props, equipment, and lighting required.
2. Photograph the baby and prop separately.
First, photograph and post-process the prop to serve as a digital backdrop. I shoot props at f/2.8, the same aperture I use with the newborn. Make sure to focus on the spot where you expect the baby's face to be.
Next, photograph the baby wrapped up or lying on a blanket under the same lighting as the prop. As always, use spotters— never leave baby unattended. Watch for baby's hands or feet turning purple and immediately alleviate pressure if needed. Watch for newborn reflexes such as rooting and startling. Remember, safety is always the top priority.
3. Merge the images in Photoshop.
Step 1: Drag the newborn image on top of the backdrop image. The newborn image will show up on its own layer.
Step 2: Reduce opacity to 50 percent on the newborn image so you can see through it.
Step 3: Add a white mask to the newborn image layer. This will allow you to move and scale the image.
Step 4: Scale the newborn image to size and line it up with the digital backdrop.
Step 5: Using a soft black brush, mask off the portions of the newborn image that you don't want to show up.
Step 6: Restore the opacity to 100 percent and double check your mask to make sure it's perfect.
Voilà! You are done with compositing. From here you can do your usual newborn retouching.
Final image:
Here's another before and after, done using the safe newborn composite technique outlined above:
Tip: When baby is wrapped like this, make sure to watch for baby's hands or feet turning purple so you can stop and alleviate pressure if needed.

Donald Trump has become arguable one of the richest people in the world, with his overall net worth at just over $7 billion his brand name has become a household name for sure. However over the past few months, even the past few weeks perhaps, Trump maybe rubbing people the wrong way with the words that are coming out of his mouth. As you may have known already Trump made a big mark on this year election via YouTube, and now Twitter and certainly wanted his voice to be heard, but to a certain point he may have talked too much and became annoying to people.
Trump made headlines on October 24 when he made a YouTube video that called for Obama to release his College applications, and transcripts to him. Along with this he added that he wanted to see the President's passport as well, and if the president gave him these documents before Halloween he would donate $5 million to a charity of the President's choice. Not only did the President not give him anything, he sort of made of mockery of the situation when he was a guest on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.
Fast forward two weeks in the heat of the election and even both Democrats, and Republicans were a bit off set by Trump's actions. It appeared at that point his plan had backfired to outs Obama, but knowing Trump it would not stop there, as he once more made headlines after Obama went on to win his re-election.
Trump took to Twitter to really lash out and bash not only Obama, but also to the nation, here are just a few of his tweets from last night:
"This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a Democracy,"
"We can't let this happen; We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided,"
"Let's fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us,"
"Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble like never before,"
These tweets as well as a slew of other tweets by Trump drew a big dark cloud over him. Brian Williams from NBC Nightly news even read these tweets on air last night, which prompted Trump to bash Brian as well. To Brian's credit, he did not originally want to say the tweets online, but producers believed it would fit into the program schedule. Trump must have been keeping a close eye on the program or someone told him the NBC network was talking about him, because he took to Twitter to express his opinion on the anchorman.
"Brian Williams was never a smart guy but always passes himself off as such. People will learn the truth," Trump tweeted.
So when it comes down to the impact that Trump made on the election, would you say you think differently of him now or still view him in the same way you did before?
Donald Trump's Backlash For Bashing Obama
Donald Trump is trying to start a war after President Obama just got re elected, but pretty much everyone else in America is firing back at him.

I'm an avid student (in fact, self-professed geek) of the art and science of persuasion. I'd go as far as to say that my infinite fascination with how to increase one's influence is probably the main reason why I continue to be passionate about branding, marketing and communications!
Hence, this article by one of my respected "gurus", Guy Kawasaki, provides 5 compelling ideas about how to become more persuasive. Apart from the 5 ways, there is an additional resource at the end of the article in the form of a free 5-minute interactive test at www.myyesscore.com.
Here are the 5 ways:
- Be the first to give. Studies show that we are persuaded more by people who have done something for us first. We give bigger tips to servers who give us a mint with the check. We're more likely to help work colleagues with their projects if they have helped us with ours. Requests that are personalized are most persuasive of all. When researchers randomly sent out surveys they were able to double responses if they personalized the request by placing a handwritten post-it note on the survey.
- Don't offer too many choices. Whether it's the number of products you offer or the number of plans you allow your employees to choose from, too many choices often frustrate people. Companies offering a small number of retirement plans have far greater enrollment than companies that offer a large number of plans.
- Argue against self-interest. Trust is a critical component to persuasion. The surest way to be perceived as honest is to admit to a small weakness in your argument, product or business immediately prior to communicating the strongest positive argument for your product or service.
- Losses are more persuasive than gains. Instead of telling your audience what they stand to gain from taking your advice or buying your product, research shows that people are often more persuaded if you tell them what they stand to lose out on if they don't take your advice or buy your product. In 2003, the Oldsmobile far exceeded it sales projections despite the company reducing its advertising and product development budgets. Why? General Motors decided to discontinue the car because of slow sales. As a result the car became something people would be losing out on even though before the news few people wanted one.
- Make people feel as if they've already made progress toward a goal. A car wash offering a loyalty card nearly doubled customer retention by changing their offer from "Buy eight washes, get one free" to "Buy 10 washes, get one free—and we'll start you off by crediting you for two washes."

It is also one of the most popular strain on the market and the industry leader in the celebrity-branded cannabis arena. At weed4allpurpose, we grow the strain on a relatively small scale. K.K is always in high demand, quickly selling out each time a batch is out. So, don't wait too long to place your order when you get the chance to.

Practicing with the MachinesNicole "Niki" Black, MyCase
Artificial intelligence (AI) for law firms is a hot topic these days, and for good reason. AI has the potential to save lawyers time and money. AI technologies hold the promise of automating the mundane aspects of practicing law, allowing lawyers to focus on more interesting, high level analytical tasks. However, AI software is still in its infancy and has a ways to go before it becomes both useful and affordable for solo and small firm attorneys. The good news is that you don't need AI software to get started with automating your solo or small firm law practice. There are a host of tools already in existence that will automate your law firm's processes. In this talk you'll learn about technologies that will help you streamline your law firm, whether you're looking to automate document assembly, billing and invoicing processes, or case to-dos and deadlines.

It's Stressful Being a Lawyer! Identifying Stress and Managing ItBonnie Prober, D.C. Bar Lawyer Assistance Committee Member
The practice of law is stressful. As attorneys, we face a unique set of pressures: endless demands from clients and superiors, adversarial opposing counsel, long hours, tight deadlines, unpredictable schedules, and competition among colleagues. In addition to these workplace stressors, we struggle to balance work, relationships, children, aging parents, financial stress, and other life circumstances.

Share Salvation's Story
O Lord, please guide my steps each day
And help me share Salvation's story
Until I leave this world behind
And enter into Heaven's glory.
Take my hand and lead me forward
On this journey here below.
Use me, Lord, to be a channel;
Through me let grace and mercy flow.
In my own strength, I'd surely fail
For I'd lean to my own stubborn way;
But if Your Spirit works though me
Your Love and Grace I will display
From Your Word I've learned many lessons
And now ask You, Lord, to help me know
The things I can do and the words to say
That will help me with others, Your love to show
May that Love work in me, dear Lord
Through the everyday things of life;
Guiding and helping me reach out to others
Who are suffering alone with pain and strife.
And if there's a weary, struggling soul
Who is lost and needs Salvations story
May I be an instrument, O Lord and share
Your love, saving Grace, and Eternal Glory.
May they know the peace and assurance
That I have in my heart today
And the comfort, security and hope
That is mine and will never fade away.

text: This introduction examines the interrelations between the possible existence of multiple nature-cultures and the indisputable existence of distinct anthropological traditions. After offering some preliminary remarks on the problems with nature-culture, the article offers as an example the complex translations required for the Western idea of nature to gain foothold in Japanese anthropology. Patched together from Western and Chinese notions, Japanese 'nature' remains equivocal to this day. This equivocation, however, has also been generative of minor anthropological traditions. As this suggests, the advance of different concepts into new territories holds the potential for shaping 'sophisticated conjunctions' in which traditions are mutually modified, allowing new forms of nature and culture emerge.

This illustration was inspired by the Native American background of my father-in-law, and his affinity for the spiritual meaning behind this heavily symbolic animal. As challenging as it was to capture the ferocity and realism of the bear, the project became something of an experimental adventure to complete. Eventually the form began to emerge, and within the detail work I found a pleasant level of thereputic serenity take hold. Before I knew it the illustration was finished, and delivered as a gift.

Livestock Herd
Inland Revenue announced the Herd Scheme livestock values for the 2018/2019 tax year on 22 May; here is an overview of how these values stack up against the movements over the past decade.
Beef Cattle
Beef values have continued to fall back as they did last year, with falls in all classes except for breeding bulls which saw a sharp rise of 13.42% to $3,407. This is the highest value that breeding bulls have attained and is reflective of high demand for top quality breeding stock, particularly for traditional beef breeds such as Angus and Hereford.
Aside from the increase in value of breeding bulls the average 5.9% decline in values was largely expected as beef values continue to come off the high of two years ago as commodity prices have stabilised towards a more sustainable long-term value. Increased sheep values have also seen a moderate swing away from beef as sheep farmers increase numbers at the expense of retaining beef cattle. Mycoplasma bovis has also had an impact on the beef industry as movement controls impact on beef cattle sales.
In the coming year sheep and beef farms in particular are coming under threat from forestry, due to the Government incentives currently available for planting trees, and the receipt of carbon credits under the Emissions Trading Scheme. US beef production is expected to slow in in the 2019 year, which should support higher values in the coming season. Whether this has an impact on beef values in the coming year remains to be seen.
In summary ...
Careful consideration needs to be given to your livestock election choices.
Even though changes were made to the Herd scheme in recent years, there is still flexibility around how to value increases in numbers – if you increase your numbers during the year you are able to choose an alternative valuation option to value that increase.
Whether you take that option or you elect to value the increase using herd values will depend on a number of factors – such as:
where we are in the cycle of livestock values (eg at the bottom or at the top)
if the increase is a permanent or a temporary one
your longer term intentions
As the decision is clearly one that should be made on a case-by-case basis, we will naturally discuss your valuation options with you on review of your 2019 financial statements and taxation returns./span>

I'm different I know
In solitude I walk
No one understands
No, not one
As I journey through alone
O solitude! Why has thou befriended me
Why am I the chosen one
To tread on this path so obscure
The sun is my companion by day warming my cold soul
Teaching me the secret of its faithfulness
As it rises each morning
And sets every evening
The moon, my comrade at night
Watches with me
When my sore eyes hold sleep no more
A strong ally who understands
The secret of the dark
While shining its light there on
And in this beam, my path is illuminated
I catch a glimpse of fellow travellers with me
Then I realise I am not alone
I was never alone
Only the the absence of light
Creates the illusion of separateness

The Pasqual Bary-trained Senga has won a dramatic Prix de Diane at Chantilly.
Leading Irish hope Rhododendron was pulled up by Ryan Moore and was later found to have had a bleeding attack while Christophe Soumillon came off Onthemoonagain in the straight.
The winner was having her fourth run in eight weeks after Bary talked her owners, the Niarchos family, into giving her a chance at the 2100 metres of the race known as the French Oaks.
"She is a fantastic filly, from a fantastic breeding operation," Bary said.
"We definitely ran her over too short a distance before.
"Her connections trusted me to let her run in this race, despite having run only two weeks ago.
"She had a good run, in a race with consistent pace, and showed a superb turn of foot."
Senga beat Sistercharlie by a length with Terrakova a close third.

Half a dozen of the South Africans in action at the 2018 Nedbank Golf Challenge left Sun City more than a million rand richer. We look at the breakdown.
Louis Oosthuizen, South Africa's top-ranked player, said after the round that he had no regrets in trying to go for the miracle shot that would've helped him finish solo second. Blocked out on the right off the tee, Oosthuizen took on the smallest of gaps through the trees but his ball clipped the cart path and ricocheted backwards back into the grandstand. [Read HERE what Louis said about that shot!]
A double-bogey followed and that allowed Sergio Garcia to finish second. The Spaniard claimed the cheque of R11,840,323 with Oosthuizen 'settling for' R6,668,409.
Louis wasn't joking when he said someone could've gotten seriously injured… pic.twitter.com/naOWnYaCTN
— Wade Pretorius (@wadepretorius) November 12, 2018
Africa's Major proved to be extremely lucrative for Darren Fichardt, who bag a second successive top 10 finish, and Dean Burmester. Both earned a handsome payday but more importantly, played their way into the season finale in Dubai which sets them up for another big cheque in the final Rolex Series event of the year.
What they earned at the 2018 Nedbank Golf Challenge:
Louis Oosthuizen: R6,668,409
Darren Fichardt: R2,238,204
Dean Burmester, Branden Grace: R1,699,042
Dylan Frittelli, Richard Sterne: R1,156,410
Trevor Immelman: R932,675
George Coetzee, Charl Schwartzel: R629,541
Thomas Aiken: R363,090
Brandon Stone, Erik van Rooyen: R271,786

Nihal Raj aka Kicha, the 6-year-old from Kochi with a cooking show on YouTube, has become the youngest Indian ever to feature on the popular Ellen DeGeneres Show. This talk show is a fun combination of celebrity guest interviews, comedy, and human-interest stories, and has a huge fan following worldwide.
Kicha, who is still in the US after recording the show, is on cloud nine. According to Kicha's father Rajagopal, it was completely unexpected. They got an email from Ellen's team after they spotted his channel Kicha Tube on YouTube and the rest as they say is history.
Kicha's family, including his father, mother and sister, accompanied him to the Warner Bros. Studio in Los Angeles where the recording took place over three days.
"It has been a surreal experience. The organisers of the show have gone out of their way to make Kicha feel like a celebrity. We were being transported around in a limousine from the time we reached. He was being pampered like a true celebrity. They even decorated a room for him with a lot of his favourite goodies," says Mr. Rajagopal.
Kicha demonstrated the making of Puttu during the five minutes he got on the show. In the video, a visibly thrilled Kicha can be seen teaching Ellen about the traditional breakfast.
Kicha shared his experience on the show with The Kochi Post.
"I was very excited to be on the show. My favourite moment was teaching Ellen to say Puttu Kutti. It was a lot of fun," he said.
The family will spend one more week in the US before returning to India.
This is not the first time this little chef has received international attention. Earlier this year, Facebook acquired the rights for Kicha's Mickey Mouse Mango Ice Cream video. He was paid USD 2,000 for it.
Kicha has always been interested in cooking and helps his mother, who is a baker, in the kitchen. Before shooting the tutorials, his mother gives him the recipe and Kicha follows it.
The parents credit Choice School, where Kicha studies, for being very supportive and promoting the special talents that the students possess. Kicha has even given a live cooking demo in school. According to his parents, the fame has not affected Kicha in any way.
"He is his usual self. On a regular day he leaves to school at around 8 a.m. and comes back in the afternoon. Then he spends time playing computer games, he plays with his friends, does his homework and goes to sleep by 10 p.m. He cooks for Kicha Tube only once a week. We shoot it on Sundays and upload it to his YouTube channel on Wednesday," says Mr. Rajagopal.
You can see more tutorials by Kicha here.

Things that go "boop" in the night
"I'll fall back to sleep any minute now," I told myself. But every time I almost did -- I'd hear that "boop!" again.
It wasn't the smoke or carbon monoxide detectors--they "chirp." No, this was an electric "boop."
Finally I couldn't stand it, and figured it had to be one of our cell phones. Well, since I hardly ever turn mine on, it had to be Mr. L's phone.
It was.
What's awakened you lately?

Every once in a while, I can hear a fox cry during the night. I've become used to it now, and can usually drift off again, but the first time I heard it, I was up for hours.
For those who haven't had the pleasure, a fox sounds like something between a cat, an owl, and a baby crying. It took me ages to figure out what it was - I ended up in front of the computer at 3AM googling something ridiculous like "weird noises at night"!

I don't hear a thing except my husband's CPAP machine. He has sleep apnea. At first I thought it would keep me awake every night, but I got used to it quickly, finding it something like "white noise." Very soothing.

Looking for effecting ways to protect yourself from fraud?
Next time you order checks, have only your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them, if someone takes your checkbook they will not know if you sign your checks with just your initials or your first name but your bank will know how you sign your checks. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address if you do not have a PO Box use your work address.
Never have your SS# printed on your checks. You can add it if it is necessary but have it printed and anyone can get it. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine, do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. A corporate attorney sent this out to the employees in his company. I pass it along, for your information.
We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed to stealing a name, address, Social Security, credit cards, etc.
Unfortunately, I, an attorney, have firsthand knowledge because my wallet was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieve(s) ordered an expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had a credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number from DMV to change my driving record information online, and more.
But here's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know: We have been told we should cancel your credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call.
Keep those where you can find them easily.
File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where it was stolen, this proves to credit providers you were diligent and is the first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).
But here's what is perhaps most important (I never ever thought to do this): Call the three national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and Social Security number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name. The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit. By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done.
There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in). It seems to have stopped them in their tracks.
The numbers are: Equifax: 1-800-525-6285 Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742 Trans Union: 1-800-680-7289 Social Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271
We pass along jokes; we pass along just about everything. Do think about passing this information along. It could really help someone you care about.
In Florida you can stop credit card offers by calling 1-888.567.8688. FDLE has an excellent site on this problem at http://www.fdle.state.fl.us

Deecey's Renderosity Store on sale...
Well, her Maisie stuff is on sale as much as 65% off. Since this isn't actually news, I decided to post it separately. Why I think it's important is because she has just posted three Fabric shaders compatible with Poser's FireFly and SuperFly renderers.
- https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/fabric-frenzy-leathers-vol-1-pbr-textures-and-poser-shaders/125095/
Think I'm going to get the leather shaders today and try them on the purse I'm making for Dawn. I'll post it here if I can get the texture map to stop stretching.

Her MRs are really great and you can't go wrong with them. Here's just one sample from each of the 3 - cotton, leather and wool on this Wench dress (in Superfly).
@Glitterati3D Thanks, Traci. Looks good. BTW, where's you get the dress?

@eclark1849 Hivewire. It's one of Lully's. And, I forgot to mention those MRs work in Firefly AND Superfly.

That's the set I got, except I bought it at HiveWire. I may get the others at some point, but I wanted the leather first.

Maybe there's a caching or a cookie issue but the stuff you linked are all full price. I really want those PBR sets since they were put up but they're not on sale from what I see.
No, the Shaders ARE at full price. Her MAISIE stuff is 65% off.
Hmm... I'm having a slight ... issue. It's going to cost me the same amount regardless of whether I buy at Hivewire or Renderosity but I'm a little miffed at Hivewire right now. I'm going to have to flip a coin on where I buy because, even though I'm miffed at HW, I don't want to hurt them in anyway especially financially. Ironically, it's both store's forums which have me confused.

@eclark1849 Go with HW. They deserve it. ;)
@Ghostman I'll give it a little more thought.

I bought the wool one initially and had been waiting for a sale so I could grab the other two. So I did, the other day, and .. they're as awesome as the wool! BUY THEM!

I used some of the cotton ones in my recent Hello Dolly picture btw. on Karanta's dress, resized and fiddled a bit to fit Maya's ABJD.

The date // watch our wedding video
The food // chocolate (… that romantic of mine picked up the most amazing chocolate for us to snack on with our sparkling wine)
The drink // the last bottle of sparkling wine from our wedding
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am so so so happy that we decided to film our wedding. Being able to go back and watch our vows… to see our smiling faces and the happiness of our family and friends. There is absolutely nothing like it.
So this weekend, after we put Austin to bed, we decided to sit down and watch it again.
… it doesn't take much reminding, because he shows me every day… but I'm so lucky to have this guy in my life, and this film to remind us both of such a special day.

Quick meetup with Tipz...
Look who was in town...
... but only for an hour or so. Hehe!
Tipz had a short layover in Singapura before his flight back to Sydney. He spent a week or so exploring Vietnam with his KL-based best friend. It's sooo good to see him again. Since he didn't have that much time in SG, we just agreed to meet up near the airport. I asked Richie if he was free for dinner, then he and I could meet up with Tipz. I would have organised another dinner but the visitor didn't want to inconvenience other people.
It was not long ago when we were both FTs. Haha! Good times, good time. Okay, I will stop before I start speeding through a highway of nostalgia. Hahaha!
So good seeing you, Tipz! :) Thanks for the early birthday pressie... even if it was forced.
I can always return it when I visit you in Syd. ;)

Thabo Ntshinogang
Managing Director
Stilistics Sportainment Limited
Thabo is the Managing Director of Stilistics Sportainment (PTY) LTD, a premier sports and entertainment company based in Gaborone, Botswana. Stilistics Sportainment was founded in August 2008. It is mainly a management and consulting firm and provides unique range of services dealing with the business of sport.
The company was established to address the many challenges that Botswana faces in the areas of Sport of entertainment and sport business. Thabo realised that as a private entity focusing on the area of sport, his company will augment government efforts and those of other sports organisations which strive to bring the level of sport in Botswana at par with those countries which are already reaping the benefits of sport. Some of the services his company offers include but not limited to: Sports Marketing and Sponsorship, Sports Events Management and activations, Sports Development and Administration and Management, Athletes Management and Sponsorship.
He received his International Master in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport from the International Centre for Sport Studies (CIES) endorsed by the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA). The Master is taught by three most prestigious Universities in Europe. The Universities in question are; De Montford University in England, SDA Bocconi in Italy and Neuchatel University in Switzerland. The Master was created to promote management education within the sports world. It has developed to become a top graduate programme developing all-round managers who can cope with the increasingly complex world of sport. Since that time he has had a diverse and rich career in different sport systems. Thabo also posses Bachelor of Arts Degree and Post Graduate Diploma in Education obtained from the University of Botswana.
Thabo started his career in Sport Administration at the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) in 1997 as Sport Development Officer and later promoted to Senior Sports Development Officer.

Upon completion of his Master's in 2004, Thabo joined the Botswana Football Association as the Chief Executive Officer of the Botswana Football Association, a position which he held for three years.
During his tenure at the Botswana Football Association, he was always part of the team that negotiated sponsorship rights for the Association.

This was the turning point in the area of sponsorships as many companies which came along raised the value of sponsorship.
In 2007, Thabo was recruited back by the Botswana National Sports Council to help pioneer the first Botswana Games which involved 11 sporting codes from 16 Districts around Botswana.
All through his career, Thabo served and still serves Sport in Botswana as a volunteer for various sport organizations and teams in different capacities as an administrator.
