Energy Drinks Banned
We hear so much about alcohol, for example, a glass of red wine being good for you, or bad depending on who is writing the article. But this time the focus isn't on alcohol but on those sickly, sweet energy drinks that seem to be popping up all over the place. And they are particularly popular with students it seems, who often use them to keep themselves awake!
According to a University in Vermont, energy drinks promote 'risky, sexual behaviour'. So serious is the problem there that Middlebury College is going to ban the sale of all energy drinks from 7 March. And although we might think that this is all a bit far-fetched, it seems they may have a basis for their actions. But the students are not impressed. 'There are more important things for them to address,' said fourth-year student Arnav Adhikari.
In 2014 a study was carried out that found risky sexual behaviour was more common in those who regularly used energy drinks. Yet another study found that people who mixed energy drinks and alcohol were more likely to have causal sex.
The findings don't really worry our Leeds Escorts . They say they have plenty of energy without the help of energy drinks!

There are some people who like to show off, they are willing to do anything just to show others they can have the things other has. In these days, with the social media accounts they make it easier for a person to show off his things or sometimes himself. It is aa an a very good idea to use social media to advertise or talk about something or idea a person did or has but sometimes a person uses social media places in a wrong way.
Sometimes when a person puts lots of photos of himself without any occasion or reason, he or she is just telling others to see her or his face, body and not the ideas. Social media places are not places for a person to put in them all of his personal life photos and videos. The social media places are meant to connect people together, in these days people are being together by sitting together with their bodies but he is communicating with people who are in social media places. They are not together in any kind of gathering, family or friends because they are busy taking photos using their mobiles to take photos or videos and they forget to really live the moment with their real, full attention.
A person should really live the moment with his full attention, such as if a person is eating cake and he is talking in a conversation, he should not suddenly stop talking just to take a photo of the cake he is eating to share it with friends he does not really know in real life. When a person really pays attention in the thing he is doing rather than the photo, video or words he writes about it, he will really live in that moment and he will most likely be happier too. A person should have a real life, not a life was he always shows off the thing he does. When a person always shares in the social media his daily things or the things he does most of the times but not daily, he won't really have privacy in his life.

10th - 17th February 2018
This event occurred in the past. It is no longer possible to book tickets.
Mitri is a sweet young terrorist who must lose his virginity tonight.
But will he even get out of the brothel alive?
There's only one bordello left in the middle of a brutal warzone. It's being bulldozed tomorrow morning. Inside, the atmosphere's like an X-rated mad hatter's tea party. The Madam refuses to serve Mitri unless he joins in the surreal parlour games the prostitutes are playing. Reckless with lust, he agrees. They immediately lock the doors…
The Last Bordello is an ingeniously fiendish labyrinth that gets more puzzling and suspenseful with every wrong turn - think Margaret Atwood meets David Lynch. An absurd, sensual and provocative parable about trust and truth, domination and devotion, fact and fiction.
Created by David Leddy, 'theatrical maverick' (Guardian), 'iconoclast' (List), 'genius' (Scotsman) and maker of hit shows Coriolanus Vanishes, International Waters, Long Live The Little Knife and Sub Rosa.
World Premiere.
Please note contains adult themes, sexual violence, nudity and strong language, 18+ only.

I wanted to share an exchange that I had on Facebook the other day. I want to share it because I think it will provide not only an opportunity to learn something new but it will also provide a few things to consider in regard to "bigger picture perspective". Don't just consider part of it; consider all of what I provide and be willing to explore its repercussions as well as YOUR responsibility in it.
So I begin…
I was scrolling through my feed and found that a friend of mine posted a short video about mass incarceration in America and how the Clinton's played a large in role in that. That's only sort of true. Let's remember the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act that Bill Clinton had signed in to law. That does play a huge role in it but it's not the only one – not by a long shot.
That reminds me. Do you remember when Hillary Clinton spoke in support of that law? That's when her "superpredators" comment came out and shocked everyone. Insight is fun!
Anyway, that act included all sorts of neat things like a ban on some assault weapons, more funding for community policing and an expansion of the death penalty. What Democrats don't want you to know is that this legislation is very much responsible for the disproportionate and unfortunate numbers of African-Americans in the prison system today. This is terrible on a number of different levels reaching into things like loyalties and voting habits. It's a mess!
This has a DEEP root though. The first anti-opium laws in the 1870s were directed at Chinese immigrants specifically. Of course, in 1879, Democrats advocated for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants altogether, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. Matter of fact, the first anti-cocaine laws in the early 1900s were directed at black men in the South – which, if you've read my work in regard to the KKK and the Democrats, you'll know where that is going. I guess most people just ignore dates and reasons as they follow along with this "anti-drug" movement.
I want you to understand that this isn't a "Democrat Thing" though. Let me state that this is a double-sided problem with a double-sided source and that this is NOT a bash on Democrats because Republicans are on the hook as well. It's true that private jails, prisons, and detention centers have been around since 1852; starting with places like San Quentin. However, what a lot of Republicans don't even know is that the overall privatization push of the prison system actually came from President Reagan and that prison populations soared during the "war on drugs". So let's examine the "war on drugs" for a moment.
Understand that it was President Nixon that declared the "war on drugs" back in June of 1971. It was Nixon that dramatically increased the size of federal drug control agencies and pushed through crazy things like no-knock warrants. A lot of America-Loving Republicans agree with these measures even to this day even though such measures were based on the dislike of social and political dissent – which was supposed to be something embraced by our country being that our nation was FOUNDED on it!
This is a great example of why I say "Question EVERYTHING". You'll be amazed at what you find. Anyway, if you've ever needed proof that both sides play well with each other, this isn't a bad place to start. Understand that this is about power, money and control and all they had to do was provide you the scapegoat necessary to pull it off. I also want you to pay attention to the idea that these terrible things are not going away when you vote new people into power. Why not? Well, it's because YOU either forget or you don't care. Let's be honest with ourselves as we notice the lack of petitions or protests to get these things corrected. Let me get back on point.
What BOTH sides seemingly don't want you to know is that privatization actually means "business". So what this tells me is that there are quite a few people out there that just don't understand that private prison businesses need to make money. But probably more alarming is that way too few are asking how such a system specifically makes theirs or if such a system is even effective.
On a side note – have you ever wondered what a private prison's company motto might be? It's probably something like "Nihil Interrogamus". I can imagine it painted right over their doorway as you walk in. But who am I to judge? Perhaps that should be considered for America's new national motto. I'd vote for it on the premise of "being real". After all, it's a hell of a lot more fitting than "e pluribus unum" at this point.
Anyway, I watched the short video. It was clearly cut from some larger project but I'm not sure what that was. Regardless, the video painted the picture that blacks were the sole victims of the Democrat's mass incarceration push. While I don't entirely agree with that perspective, I can agree that they were definitely targeted. Either way, I then scrolled through the comments to see what people were thinking. One comment really got to me. It said…
What they meant to say is more people are committing crimes and we're enforcing the law.
I took immediate issue with that considering the facts. It's actually my entire reason for writing this today and I wanted to share my retort because I thought it might help solidify the point. I said…
… which is ironic considering that we have more laws than the Library of Congress can even count; we incarcerate more people per capita than any other nation on the planet and we don't even rank near the top of the "free-est" nations around the globe… and this is in spite of the idea that according to the Supreme Court, "A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void." I don't know about anyone else but something doesn't add up.
Perhaps the people don't know the definition of "Repugnant". Perhaps they don't know what their REAL rights are. Surely one of these must be the case considering that there is not a SINGLE right in the Bill of Rights that is currently not being infringed upon – which is upsetting considering that our Bill of Rights are evidently what the people are "entitled to against every government on earth" (at least according to our Founders). Let's give a point to the Government-run school systems that the people rely on while we ignore that such a system will likely not empower their students to take the stolen power back. So if knowledge is power… the people have essentially been rendered powerless. This is evidenced by the fact that people couldn't provide the definition of a license or permit without completely demonstrating my point – as they continue to buy them for their car, their business, their marriage, their protest and so on.
Meanwhile, those who swore to uphold and defend the Constitution (like our military, law enforcement and law makers), couldn't recite something as simple as Article 4, Section 4 or even articulate the 8th or 9th Amendment without a guide and few minutes to think about it. But maybe that doesn't matter because the people couldn't hold anyone accountable to any other standard or expectation anyway being that they couldn't do it themselves. Define irony as we explore the question of why things have gone down-hill so far. This is how we can get so many people who can recite the Pledge of Allegiance and not understand how stupid they look when they agree that taking a felon's rights away is okay in "our democracy". Regardless, we somehow have the audacity to call ourselves "Free" in spite of all of the evidence to demonstrate that we are not. And don't get me started on all of the "educated" that pretend they ever learned anything as they continually complained about their required attendance and always picked on those who wanted to actually learn something.
True… the breaking or enforcement of repugnant laws is a clear justification of such a system… I'll give you that. I'm just not sure it's a good one. But… it sure does work well for those who are not quite ready to face certain truths or who are completely ignorant of the actual problem. Don't worry though… I probably got this ALL wrong and I'm just a dumbass.
My advice: think responsibly.

God blessed me with three wonderful children. Though they come from the same gene pool, they are incredibly different and special in their own ways.
When Eric and I had our first child, we thought that we such great parents. Our firstborn did what he was supposed to do, never bucked the system, met all of the milestones, was loving and caring… You get the picture. We chalked our sons abilities up to excellent parenting. Then he went off to kindergarten wailing and screaming. That year was really tough!
Next came our second child, a beautiful baby girl. This child also met the milestones, was kind and generous, but she had a strong will for which I was totally unprepared! Over the years, this trait has proven to be quite difficult with regard to parenting her. She is an independent thinker. She has always had her own sense of fashion – what she likes and dislikes. She cannot be persuaded, coaxed, or even bribed into doing something she doesn't want to do. On the plus side, this can be a great thing when dealing with peer pressure. While my oldest is self motivated, my middle child often seems to have not a care in the world. I envy her free spirit.
The baby, another boy, is actually not a baby anymore. He's six. He is smart and very intense. He locks onto one thing, toy or idea and focuses on that for a good length of time. He is much more physical than my other two. He loves to play outdoors. He has two speeds – busy & totally zonked out. I don't have as much energy as I did when I had my first at 24 years of age. Actually, I've never had much energy, and this one keeps me hopping!
Just when you think you've perfected the right strategy for handling different problems, issues and behaviors, the next kid puts a wrench in it. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. We have all been created so wondrously different.
God surely has a sense of humor. Couldn't He find it in His heart to send the stork with a baby AND an instruction manual, unique to that child's personality? Ahhh!

Kenya Airways starts direct flights from Nairobi to Somalia
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Kenya Airways on Tuesday launched its daily direct flights from Nairobi to the Somali capital Mogadishu, a move that is expected to boost trade between the two nations.
Aircraft Leasing Services (ALS), a Kenyan company that provides insurance and air leasing services to other airlines, will operate on behalf of Kenya Airways under a wet lease arrangement.
"We look forward to facilitating more commerce opportunities to and from Somalia with this new route," said Sebastian Mikosz, Kenya Airways chief executive officer, in a statement issued in Nairobi.
He said the new route now eases travel for thousands of Somalis who live in Kenya as well as those from the diaspora traveling to their native country.
According to data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Somalia is one of the largest export markets for Kenya. In 2017, Kenya's exports to Somalia increased 33.5 percent to 10.7 billion Kenyan shillings (about 107 million U.S. dollars).

The Eliminate Downtime movement takes a trip to Bauma
Google the word "downtime" and you'll find as many definitions as there are online dictionaries. From downtime as a working period when an employee is not actively productive, to leisure time when a person is intentionally not working, the meaning of the word can be a matter of context. Equally, downtime can be defined as a machine (especially a computer) being out of service for repair, malfunction or maintenance reasons. It doesn't end there.
As we continue to grow support for the movement to Eliminate Downtime in the construction industry, we hacked Bauma 2019 at the beginning of April. We made this journey to Munich to meet with progressive thinkers and influencers in the business who not only share the vision but are also adding their voices with others trying to increase the efficiency and sustainability of the sector.
What we found as we conversed was that almost everyone has a different perspective of downtime. And I'm OK with that, because we're all entitled to our own view. In any case, our purpose in meeting was to add further weight, diversity and authority to the Eliminate Downtime committee. What we don't want to do is get sidetracked trying to get agreement on a catch-all definition for downtime while the fortunes of construction continue to suffer.
Why a Committee for Eliminate Downtime?
The formation of a Committee is for the simple reason of ensuring that the leadership of the Eliminate Downtime movement is representative of the industry. We need people who are experienced throughout the value chain, from construction companies and contractors to equipment manufacturers and rental service providers, from consultancies and researchers to analysts, industry bodies and trade associations. We want them all; the established as well as the start-ups.
... no single individual or business has a silver bullet to eliminate downtimeSoeren Brogaard Jensen, Trackunit
The need for a round table is obvious. Just as no-one has a universal definition of downtime, no single individual or business has a silver bullet to eliminate downtime. We have a collective responsibility to take action rid ourselves of the mother of all our problems; lost revenue and profit, missed deadlines, wasted time, missing and damaged equipment, productivity losses, the site safety of the entire workforce including machine operators.
As of this moment, close to 20 respected thought leaders from the industry have signed up to be a part of the committee and to contribute to the journey. However, there are still open slots, so if you or someone you know should also join, please do not hesitate to reach out. We will shortly announce the members of the committee, so stay tuned.
The Bauma hack and Eliminate Downtime encounters
If you've never been to Bauma, you've missed a treat. It is a playground of monumental proportions where the great and the good of the global construction industry gathers to be inspired, see the latest innovations and do business. It's held every three years at the Messe München, with April's 7-day event attracting a staggering 3,700 exhibitors and 620,000 visitors. To give you some idea, it took nearly an hour of queuing just to get through the gate!
Our plan was to meet with both Committee members and other influencers either on their own booths or somebody else's, and ask a few simple questions; what do they mean by downtime? If they were appointed President of the Construction Industry, what instruction would they give to eliminate downtime once and for all. The conversations were fascinating, and the insights gathered will be the subject of a number of blogs to be published on this site in the very near future.
Some answers were surprising. Søren Rosenkrands, Chief Business Development Officer of Riwal Holding Group told me about the impact of hidden downtime. The tendency of contractors to hire spare machines on a just-in-case basis has led to 30 – 40 percent of equipment not being utilized. This is clearly a waste of money, and today Riwal are proactively advising contractors to de-hire machines not in use. However, firstly they've had to demonstrate the speed and effectiveness of their service team in getting equipment repaired and on the road again.
Brad Boehler, CEO at Skyjack talked about maintaining a balance between ensuring robustness, reliability and uptime, whilst also incorporating increasing levels of sophistication into new generations of equipment. In his view, some end customers prefer a "simple is best" solution on the basis of less to go wrong. However, it's clear that there is an increasing expectation that equipment should be more technologically advanced, with greater capability to assist the operator with safe and reliable operations.
...maintaining a balance between ensuring robustness, reliability and uptime, whilst also incorporating increasing levels of sophistication into new generations of equipment.Brad Boehler, Skyjack CEO
It was refreshing to meet with Laura Tönnies, CEO of Corrux GmbH who brings an almost entirely new worldview to the table. When construction is described as a laggard in technology adoption, we need to be clear that we're talking specifically about digital technology. In fact, the industry is highly advanced in material technology. That aside, her view is that collaboration between manufacturers could produce an uptime bonus if there was more of a focus on sharing and interoperability.
If you'd like to read more about the rationale behind Eliminate Downtime, please see my last blog. If the movement resonates with you - if you can see large and small opportunities for savings and improvements, why not share your ideas with others? As a first step and to show your support, please click here to share our open letter to the industry. I look forward to receiving your ideas personally, as you act to help us meet our goal to Eliminate Downtime by 2025.

It's the day after Christmas. I woke in the middle of a dream which left my head spinning. Mouth dry, limbs numb, I try to compose myself. I could sleep for another 2 days straight. Exhausted from festivities, I'm feeling somewhat relieved but also sad. There is such buildup to Christmas that I often feel inadequate in keeping up with its demands so in some respect I'm glad it's over. But with its ending comes the end of my children's euphoric anticipation.
Growing up we did Christmas differently. There was no month long buildup from Thanksgiving to the actual day. There was a tree at some point and presents to be had on Christmas morning. Trees are often decorated on the 24th in a ceremonious fashion and the celebration also includes the day after Christmas. Whether it was customary everywhere or just with my family and friends, the day after was also a big deal. It was mostly a day of feasting. A large meal that spanned for hours took up the majority of the day. It was a nice transition.
So the day 26th. I try to compose myself, reluctantly kicking off the covers but feeling a strong need to get back in the kitchen and cooking. Taking even a few days off makes me feel a tad antsy. Whenever I'm faced with the end of something, such as the Christmas season, I feel the need to quickly shift focus. Perhaps it's to lessen the feeling of sadness I inevitably experience every time the excitement vanishes.
A remedy for this saddness is making food. It's no surprise that cooking brings me joy. It's a reliable source of contentment. I'm itching to get back to some sort of routine. I find it grounding. Whether an escape or not, it doesn't much matter. It's makes me pretty damn happy. And so does the salad I had planned for the day. I've talked about the absurd pleasure that cooking with vegetables brings me. I find peeling and cutting soporific – a meditative act rather than an annoyance. So vegetables and a fruit! Parsnips, carrots, beets and apple are roasted until golden brown and sweet. They're combined with greens, pomegranate seeds, walnuts, and a simple pomegranate dressing that takes minutes to whip up.
I'm ready for some greens, something a little on the lighter side. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful roast from the day before but my body aches for simple fresh food.
winter salad with apple and pomegranate
prep time: 10 minutes
cooking time: 25-30 minutes
makes: 4 servings
1 apple peeled and thinly sliced
3 parsnips peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
4 carrots peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
2 beets peeled and thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
2 tbsp olive oil divided
3/4 tsp salt divided
1/2 tsp pepper divided
2 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds (see tip below)
2 tbsp chopped toasted walnuts
4 cups greens or spinach (or as much as you want)
*Tip – the easiest way to remove pomegranate seeds is to cut the fruit into 4 pieces. Fill a large bowl with water and submerge each individual piece and remove the seeds under water. The seeds will sink and the white part will float to the top and can be easily removed with a strainer. Then strain seeds and voila!
2 tsp pomegranate juice (you can squeeze your own juice out of seeds for strict paleo and whole30)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
pinch salt
1/4 tsp pepper
mixing bowl
2 baking sheets
parchment paper or foil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Add cut beets to one baking sheet and toss with 1 tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (or as much as you'd like). Add to middle rack of oven.
Add carrots, apple, parsnip and thyme to other baking sheet and combine with the remaining tbsp oil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and mix well. Add to lower rack of oven. Roast both vegetable trays until soft – about 25-30 minutes, giving a toss half way through.
Meanwhile in mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for dressing, whisk well and set aside.
When vegetables are done set aside to cool for a few minutes.
To assemble salad: Add one cup of greens to plate, roasted vegetables, walnuts, pomegranate seeds and pour dressing over top.

'What's your favourite hobby?' asked the Nurse. Khampoo, who is 6-years old and has Type 1 Diabetes, gave a shy smile. She looked up at her Grandmother who laughed.
'Most evenings,' her Grandmother said, 'Khampoo comes into the garden to help me with the new vegetable patch.'
We had driven forty minutes out from Hat Yai town with our healthcare partners from the hospital to visit Khampoo and her family. She lives in a small house that doubles up as a village shop down a narrow lane with her Grandparents and two sisters.
When Khampoo was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes last year it was life-changing. There was both the emotional impact of having the condition, but also practical changes that the family had to make.
'The doctor told us how important it was for Khampoo to eat well.' continued Khampoo's Grandmother. 'So we stopped selling surgery drinks and dug a vegetable patch.'
The forbidden fruit
Khampoo's favourite food is Dragon Fruit. The white, black speckled flesh is delicious, but, unfortunately very high in sugar. It is often seen as a 'super-food', but not if you have Type 1 Diabetes.
'She used to hide the fruit from us and then eat it when no one was looking,' said her Grandpa. 'She loved it so much! But now we are more careful.'
Everyone around the table laughed, and Khampoo's Grandfather, who works night shifts at a gas station, smiled at Khampoo.
A holistic approach to Type 1 Diabetes care
No one case of Type 1 Diabetes is the same. Each young person with Type 1 Diabetes that A4D support has a unique set of circumstance. Even if that is a soft spot for Dragon Fruit.
A4D is charity focused on helping young people with Type 1 Diabetes live a full and active life. One aspect A4D help is through providing free access to Insulin and blood testing equipment. Another is through developmental support that empowers young people to feel confident and independent adults, despite the challenges that they face.
Through A4D Family Visits, we have the ability to not only help to save lives, but transform them as well.
A helping hand
We asked if there was anything, connected with Type 1 Diabetes, that the family would like from us.
'Every lunchtime, I must go to see Khampoo at school to help her inject insulin,' said Khampoo's Grandfather.
At A4D Family Camps, Khampoo and her grandfather learned how to inject insulin and monitor her blood sugar levels. However, Khampoo's hands are still too small for her to use her insulin injection pen and he must go school every day to help her.
'If possible,' continued the Grandpa, 'we would like her older sister to come to the next A4D Family Camp so that she can learn how to inject her sister.'
The cost of Type 1 Diabetes
Khampoo is on our Sponsor a Child programme. All the costs of Insulin and blood testing equipment, along with other small donations, are provided to them by a single generous donor.
But it was not always like this.
'If there were no support from A4D, we would suffer,' says that Grandmother, 'when she was first diagnosed we had to borrow money from the neighbours. The test strips were so expensive.'
This is common situation for the families that we support. In the UK, the NHS provide insulin and test strips for free, but for many of SE Asia's poorest families, they simply cannot afford the care.
Type 1 Diabetes: Role Models
We asked if they have any concerns about the future, and the Grandmother said that she is worried Khampoo will not live long because the first doctor told them to expect medical complications.
However, we insisted that if she looks after herself well enough, then she can.
Fiona Ooi, head of A4D operations, showed the family photos of Henry Slade (International Rugby Player) and Theresa May (Politician, UK) who both have Type 1 Diabetes.
The family were surprised and laughed with a newfound optimism.
Exercise is a great way to help control blood sugar levels, so it is a part of Type 1 Diabetes care that we encourage. We often tell our patients of people like Henry Slade, and our co-founder, Jerry Gore, who are very physically active.
Knowing this, Khampoo has now promised that she will start cycling to school again (once her bike has been fixed!)
How can you raise money to support families like Khampoo?
Because of support from A4D, and inspired by A4D Challengers, Khampoo will soon be back on her bike and improving her Type 1 Diabetes management.
This September, supporters from A4D will also be taking up the bike on our annual A4D Cycle Challenge.
We are going to Italy for the 'Italian Job 2', for a sponsored ride and aim to raise over $75,000: enough money to support over 150 children with essential medication and support for a whole year.
Become part of our mission to save and transform lives and join us!
Thank you!
A4D is lucky to partner with a fantastic team of committed health professionals at Hat Yai hospital. Lead by Dr Pathikan, a Paediatric Endocrinologist; the team has been invaluable in organising Diabetes Family camps and taking part in patient home visits.
Also, a special thanks to Mr Kai Boris Bendix, Khampoo's sponsors, who are empowering this young girl to manage her condition.
None of this would be possible without our generous donors, those who give up their time to take on A4D Challenges and those companies like Zuellig Pharma, who offer us fantastic support.
Without your support, Khampoo's family would not be able to afford the Insulin and Blood testing equipment, but with it, you are helping us to save and transform her life. So, THANK YOU!

The Corporate Executive Board Insight Daily recently published the results of polling related to the tragic events in Japan.
""Last week, we asked our Insight Daily readers how the unfortunate events in Japan will impact their business and the economic climate at large. Here's what we heard: More than three quarters of respondents (76%) said the Japan crisis will have a negative impact on global economic growth. More than two thirds (69%) said they expect corporate insurance premiums to rise. Slightly fewer (63%) reported the events in Japan have or would disrupt their supply chains and have an operational impact. And finally, 40% of respondents are modifying their financial forecasts for the year. Our thoughts remain with the people of Japan.""
How is your company making business adjustments based on the events in Japan?

Keeping is something I have never lost confidence in: Tim Paine
"I think my technique stands up with anyone so I'm looking forward to getting out and showing that on Thursday," he quoted.

Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Paine received a surprise call up to the national side recently. And what more could an Aussie cricketer wish for – getting a call to the national side for the all-important Ashes. Paine was picked up ahead of the likes of Matthew Wade and Peter Nevill for the coveted series. Needless to say, the Tasmanian is looking forward to the opportunity.
As per the recent quotes in Sportskeeda, Tim Paine revealed that he has received some valuable tips from former Australia cricketer Chris Rogers. He quoted that Rogers has asked him to keep minimal hopes and expectations. Paine has played in 4 Test matches for Australia. His previous Test appearance was back in the year 2010.
"I've had plenty of advice – some of it good, some of it bad. Chris Rogers gave me a good piece of advice. He told me to set my standards low and expect to get six ducks and anything after that is a win. I might use that I think," quoted Tim Paine.
Confidence in wicketkeeping
Speaking about his game, Tim Paine conceded that he has firm faith in his abilities as a wicket keeper. He noted that he is at par with any quality wicket keeper around. He admitted that his batting has not been the greatest but is surely improving on it. He cited that the experience of playing Test cricket will help him to reinstate his claim in the national setup again.
"My keeping is something I've never lost confidence in. I think my technique stands up with anyone so I'm looking forward to getting out and showing that on Thursday. It's been well-documented the last few years my batting hasn't been fantastic and again, I tend to agree, but I know my best cricket is good enough," said Paine.
"I've played Test cricket before and done OK so I can take some confidence out of that. The last five or six months as well, I've been batting as well as I ever have so I'm lucky the opportunity has come at the right time for me," he added further.

"I got a phone call at 10 p.m. saying he was a million times better and I could take him home the next day.
$3200.00 later, he was perfectly fine.
In fact, he was trying to pick up trash to eat in the parking lot outside of the emergency vet practice.
My wife and I have become more outdoorsy since getting a dog.
We go to different beaches (that allow dogs).
We take him to Central Park, and spend a lot of time walking with him.
The responsibility of a dog is greater than you think, but it's all worth it."

An ancient weapon system has just found its way back to battlefield. In the video below, a trebuchet is used by members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to sling large bombs at regime forces inside of Daraa, Syria. The weapon system, originally found on ancient battlefields as a siege weapon, uses the energy of a falling and hinged counterweight to launch a projectile a great range, with decent accuracy.
We have already seen the FSA using an ancient pirate cannon in the past. Now we get trebuchets. Pretty soon we'll start seeing horse-mounted cavalry with lances and shield-walls. The equipment supply must be dwindling in some of the areas where logistics have been cut off, otherwise I doubt we would be seeing this level of innovation.

Story Title: Assimilation
Author Name: wendymr (aka wmr)
Story url: Story Link 1
Alternate Story url: Story Link 2
Content Rating: Teen
Status: Completed
Length: 3,488 words
Story Summary: "He'll be back, yeah?
Gioia's Rec:
In re-reading this favorite story, what startled me the most was how short it is. "Assimilation" packs quite a punch for only 3,488 words. It has long stood out in my mind as quite the epic tale. But that is due entirely to how concisely worded Wendy's stories are, as well as how visually and emotionally evocative her writing is. This story, in particular, contains such big concepts, with a vivid historical setting (England, 1911), a dramatic plot, and passionate emotions, that it feels as if it ought to take chapters to do justice to this story and its far-reaching implications. However, unlike me, Wendy is not a babbler. She manages to say so much with so few words, and yet leave the reader with this grand tale indelibly printed upon their mind. I've read it numerous times, yet on each occasion I feel as if I find something new.
The story's plot sounds fairly simple. The Doctor disappears while Jack and Rose are visiting England in 1911. They're left with little more than their wits, muscles and the clothes on their backs to get by during an extremely socially restrictive era. The story is more than a tale of survival, though. There is a rich emotional depth to this story, from the first sentence until the last. And in spite of my love for stories set during this time period, it is those emotions which can be credited with making this story stay with me for so many years.

DescriptionAs evocative and moving as Charles de Lint's Newford books, with the youthful protagonists and exciting action of Mercedes Lackey's fantasies, Thirteen Orphans makes our world today as excitingly strange and unfamiliar as any fantasy realm . . .and grants readers a glimpse of a fantasy world founded by ancient Chinese lore and magic.
As far as college freshman Brenda Morris knows, there is only one Earth and magic exists only in fairy tales.
Brenda is wrong.
A father-daughter weekend turns into a nightmare when Brenda's father is magically attacked before her eyes. Brenda soon learns that her ancestors once lived in world of smoke and shadows, of magic and secrets.
When that world's Emperor was overthrown, the Thirteen Orphans fled to our earth and hid their magic system in the game of mah-jong. Each Orphan represents an animal from the Chinese Zodiac. Brenda's father is the Rat. And her polished, former child-star aunt, Pearlâthat eminent lady is the Tiger.
Only a handful of Orphans remain to stand against their enemies. The Tiger, the Rooster, the Dog, the Rabbit . . . and Brenda Morris. Not quite the Rat, but not quite human either.

I had an old leather chair that had seen better days; my wife couldn't stand looking at it anymore so I ended up giving it to my son. I told him that he needed to condition the leather with something, so I searched and found Leather Honey. I ordered a bottle for him and one for me; he still hasn't used it on the chair. But I've used it on numerous things and I love the product. I have thought about getting my old chair back and giving it a new life, thanks for the great product!

Twenty-five tracks showcasing the very best of the legendary late 70s Northern Ireland label. This release features contributions from bands such as Rudi, The Undertones, The Outcasts, Protex, The Moondogs, and The Bankrobbers (featuring Joby Fox who went on to join Energy Orchard), plus this release also includes previously unreleased songs from Shock Treatment, and the Androids. This CD ends with the debut 45 from label owner / founder Terri Hooley, backed up by Rudi and they were Terri and The Terrors.
A great collection of bands that mostly didn't get a lot of looks in from people outside of Northern Ireland, but now get the respect and hearing that they deserve. Every song is ace, and the pure energy that is on display here, is something that bands nowadays could really learn from. Of course The Undertones are great, but it's the other songs by lesser known bands that really make this a great compilation to hear music that might have gone lost forever, but now you can put this on, turn it up and truly enjoy the youthful power that is on this CD. As soon as you put this CD on, you realize that these bands had the chops to create music that still sounds fresh and thrilling after all these years and is a CD that you will pull out and play over and over again. I wasn't aware of a lot of the bands on here except for their names, but now I have to go searching for more music from the bands.
Grab this album, turn it up, pogo around the house, try not to spit and drive your neighbors mad with the great songs on here. Read the information about the bands included and maybe you will find a new favorite.

I don't know how about you, but when I cook (and eat), for me it is elementary important to have the best quality of ingredients possible. Of course not every time I have the opportunity and time to visit the best grocery shops around. But if I can, especially at the weekends, I take my time and enjoy grocery shopping, like today in Bratislava. And there was no other choice, than to visit YEME. Their website is in Slovak language. But I would shortly summarise what is the concept of YEME about.
First of all I have to mention the professionalism of staff working there. They are always keen to help you, answer any question you have and even explain you how a sausage is made or where their meat exactly come from. This is something what I really appreciate and like very much. Customer comes first! Actually speaking of origin of their products, YEME's mission is to bring true quality, fair and mostly local foods to Slovak (and also mine :-D ) tables. They encourage local producers to create an environment of good quality and honesty. They care where they products come from, how the animals are treated before they end up on a counter.
Staff in YEME have provided us of with lot of information and have showed us lot of products which they make themselves at the premises such as Spreads of all kinds, Home-made sausages and even their own ham which contains 99% of meat and has no chemicals or preservatives in it whatsoever. You have to try one of those - they also allow you to taste almost anything at the delicacies department - They are super delicious. Here some of the home-made spread flavours they have: Sheep cheese, Tuna, Cheese and garlic, Basil, and many more! It is a big dilemma which to take home!
The special chapter is their own Bakery. I have to be honest here. Two years ago I visited Paris for the first time. I was enchanted by the flavour, crispiness and taste of the bread I have had there. BUT! Just until today! - OMG I have bought a regular french baguette in YEME. And- this one tastes and smells even better than those ones in Paris! Guys if you are into the food as I am - go, go there and grab your loaf of bread, focaccia, ciabatta, rye loaf, sesame bread, rustic baguette or even some of the home-made donuts! They have tons of products which they bake on site. And one interesting thing is that you can even admire the bakers as they take the hot bread of the gorgeous rustic wood ovens!
My second favourite department after the bread one is of course the wine department. They do have a wide range of local and foreign wines, to satisfy even the most complicated customers. To mention e.g. the champagne from Reims, Lanson Champagne or italian winemaker Alois Lageder. FYI this time I took a bottle of special wine - Red Currants wine. Sweet and bold one from one of the Slovak Wineyards Vinkova. Apart of all kinds of wine they have a range of beer from craft breweries.
What is YEME exceptional for:
- Products directly from the farms (milk, meat..)
- Local products
- Own home-made meat & diary production
- Bakery Shop and home-made bread production (which they are famous for!)
- Gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian etc. products too
- Fresh Bar and Coffee Shop on the premises
- Hand grown (chosen) vegetables
- and much more!
The only thing I can say at the end of my article is - GO there and take your time! Taste and smell the products, touch them, read the descriptions and choose your favourite ones. You will not regret it!
If you found this article helpful or interesting and have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or leave me a comment!
Thank you!

It may have turned it off or something but still had communication. I have had on rare instances where the radio is detected but the communication doesn't work. A reset fixes it (usually). I'm still trying to improve it.

Augusta has enjoyed one of the best summers we have seen in a while, mostly being spared the south-easterlies! Visitors and locals have been making the most of our environs, natural and otherwise!
Visitor numbers have remained high for longer into January and businesses enjoying the flow-on, most reporting increased trade. It has been great to see the innovative things people are doing to attract trade, one being the Christmas window displays!
The ACCI Christmas window display and Buy Local campaign were a great success and we would like to thank all businesses for their involvement.
We would especially like to thank Bernice Gillam from Augusta Xtreme Outdoors for her efforts in organising both events, as well as the businesses who generously donated a great array of gifts and vouchers. The prize bags were won, with great joy, by three locals and one visitor to Augusta!
The inaugural ACCI community Carols by Candlelight event was a great success despite the threat of rain! The Christmas Tree set a beautiful tone for this family event.
Thanks to 2oceansFM, Augusta Singers, Sarah MacPherson, Karridale Ukulele Players, Augusta Primary School, Isobel Lemon and Justin Haddow, Deb 'Spoons' Perry, Sue and Caroline Juniper, Augusta CRC, Jon Godden, Shire of Augusta Margaret River, Lightning Ridge Electrical and Leeuwin Lions for their involvement with the event.
We look forward to Carols by Candlelight 2019.
