Our second-string have secured their place in the Final Third Development League Cup Semi-Finals as they came from behind to win 2-1 at Rotherham United today.
Tom Hitchcock fired the Millers ahead with a contentious strike after only three minutes, but Ollie Palmer equalised with a low finish before the quarter-hour mark.
Both teams had opportunities to snatch all three points and the Stags did just that in the 79th minute when trialist Craig Lynch broke away and fed Ben Hutchinson, who fired home from 20 yards.
We now advance to the Semi-Finals along with Group A winners Leicester City. Morecambe, Wigan Athletic and Carlisle United are all in contention to win Group C.
On a bitingly cold afternoon in South Yorkshire, we made the worst possible start as the hosts registered an early lead in controversial circumstances.
Nicky Adams threaded a low ball though towards an advancing Hitchcock, who despite being in an offside position – yards in front of any player, slotted past Ian Deakin.
It took our side less than 10 minutes to draw level though, as Jamie McGuire's defence-splitting pass found an accelerating Palmer, who beat Scott Shearer at a tight angle.
Shearer kept out attempts from Lindon Meikle, Hutchinson and Palmer, but Rotherham spurned several gilt-edge openings in the moments leading up to half-time.
Deakin had already saved two shots from Reece Lucas and a free-kick from Michael O'Connor, before he showed exceptional reflexes to keep us on level terms.
Haris Vuckic latched onto a long downfield ball and was denied by Deakin, who got up quickly and made an instinctive reaction save to Nicky Walker's follow-up attempt.
Stags' full-back Liam Marsden then made the first of three goal-line clearances in a two-minute spell, as the Millers – much to their frustration – were unable to find a way through.
After the re-start, Vuckic wastefully blazed over from eight yards following an inviting cross by Richard Brindley, whilst Deakin also made more smart saves.
At the other end, Meikle let fly with an audacious 20-yard attempt on the hour mark, which had to be turned round the post by a full-stretch Shearer.
We took the lead with just 11 minutes remaining when trialist Craig Lynch broke quickly down the centre and played a simple ball to Hutchinson, whose low shot found the bottom corner.
Rotherham almost snatched a share of the spoils on the brink of stoppage-time, when Vuckic latched onto a through ball and rattled the upright, but we held on for an important win.
Team: Deakin, Marsden, Sutton, Beevers, Black, Dyer (Lynch), Murray, McGuire (J.Thomas), Meikle, Hutchinson (c), Palmer.

Contextualising food sovereignty: the politics of convergence among movements in the USA
As food sovereignty spreads to new realms that dramatically diverge from the agrarian context in which it was originally conceived, this raises new challenges, as well as opportunities, for already complex transnational agrarian movements. In the face of such challenges, calls for convergence have increasingly been put forward as a strategy for building political power. Looking at the US case, we argue that historically rooted resistance efforts for agrarian justice, food justice and immigrant labor justice across the food system are not only drawing inspiration from food sovereignty, but helping to shape what food sovereignty means in the US. By digging into the histories of these resistance efforts, we can better understand the divides that exist as well as the potential for and politics of convergence. The US case thus offers important insights, especially into the roles of race and immigration in the politics of convergence that might strengthen the global movement for food sovereignty as it expands to new contexts and seeks to engage with new constituencies.

CARD MBA among fastest-growing mutual insurers globally
The Philippines-based CARD Mutual Benefit Association (CARD MBA) ranked six in the fastest-growing mutual insurers in terms of life premium category among the global network of cooperative and mutual insurers and associates as revealed by the 2018 rankings of the International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF).
The report includes the analysis of ICMIF's 197 member organizations based on their location, legal structure, product lines, and affinity group from 66 countries in all six regions of the world. At least 40% of the member organizations are located in Europe, 21% from Latin America and the Caribbean, 18% from Asia, and the rest are located in the remaining regions of North America, Africa, and Oceania.
CARD MBA also ranked 17 as largest ICMIF member in terms of emerging markets with PHP2.98 billion (USD59,564,000) total premiums.
"This ranking tells us that insurance in general is now seen by Filipinos as an important safety net and not just an optional cost," said May S. Dawat, chief executive officer of CARD MBA.
Since CARD MBA was formalized in 1999, its membership has grown exponentially. To date, CARD MBA remains to be largely a women-led organization composed of 5.2 million policyholders covering more than 18.58 million Filipinos nationwide, which is at least 18% of the total population of the Philippines.
These policyholders of CARD MBA are the microfinance clients of the four major institutions of CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI) namely CARD, Inc., CARD Bank, CARD MRI Rizal Bank, and CARD SME Bank. CARD MRI is a group of 21 social development-oriented institutions including CARD MBA that aims to eradicate poverty by providing microfinance, microinsurance, and community development programs.
"Our greatest appreciation goes to the operations staff of CARD MRI major institutions for their undying support in making sure that every community CARD MRI serves will fully understand microinsurance and its impact to every household," said Dawat.
Dawat further emphasized that the key to CARD MBA's success is by listening to its clients. "We are always conscious of our members' welfare that is why the communication line is always open. We think about what they need and we ensure that we can develop innovative and tailored-fit programs accordingly," added Dawat.
CARD MBA will also continue to innovate by taking advantage of emerging technologies. "We are now pilot testing online claims notification so our claims payment would be faster and efficient," said Dawat.
With technology, according to Dawat, CARD MBA is hopeful to reach and insure more Filipinos in the coming years.
ICMIF is the only global representative body of the cooperative and mutual insurance sector that provides services and activities on market information, networking opportunities and leadership development, and global advocacy.

MORE than 200 classic tractors will be on display at this year's Stroud Vintage Transport & Engine Club (SVTEC)'s Annual Show.
Both overseas and domestic manufacturers will be represented, plus a diverse selection of models, types and modifications dating from the 1920s to the 1980s. Manufacturers showcased will include David Brown, Ford, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Nuffield, Zetor, Leyland, Farmall and Field Marshall to name but a few.
Visitors will be able to see a WWII Wood Burning Tractor - one of the rarest tractors still in operation. Wood gas vehicles were used during World War II, as a consequence of the rationing of fossil fuels. At the time 4,000 tractors were produced.
Also making a welcome return is the 1919 International Titan 10-20 tractor. Owned by the Harris family from the Forest of Dean, the Titan was purchased in 2007 in a very rough state and has now completed a complete "nut and bolt" restoration over a four year period.
More than 1000 classic cars will also be on display from pre and post war. These will include more than 80 classic American cars, 30 visiting car clubs, and 335 motorcycles and scooters from 1903-1980. 30 miniature steam engines, 90 stationary engines, 70 full size steam engines, over 70 Buses and Coaches, 130 military vehicles, 70 industrial trucks, 50 vintage caravans, 80 bicycles and over 50 model aircraft will also be on the scene.
The show will be held at South Cerney Airfield in Cirencester, Gloucestershire between 2-4 August.

There are many great things about college. Unfortunately, the cost is not one of those great things. If you're in college right now, then you know how costly it can be. Paying for room and board, books, and more can really put a dent in your bank account. You might be able to spend less while in college by using the following tips.
If you want to get an education on a limited budget, consider going to a community college for two years before transferring to a different universities. You will find that community colleges are cheaper than other schools and your credits will transfer as long as you complete your general education before transferring.
Speak up often in your foreign language class. Speaking up and volunteering to write on the blackboard makes it easier for you to get a good grade. Foreign language instructors are looking at how much you improve during the term. They are not comparing you to other students. Speaking up helps your instructor evaluate you positively.
Stick to your studies. College can be a fun time, with lots of new experiences, but it's crucial to remember why you're there. Take the time to ask teachers and other students for help, and make sure you get your homework done when you need to so that your grades stay strong.
After you sign up for a checking account, make sure that you do not leave without getting the free checks that most establishments offer. Do not pay for extras. You may be surprised at how few checks you will use over the course of your four years in college. It is simple enough to get more if you need them, but you don't want to waste money if at all possible.
Use the many resources of the library. It is a great place to study, read and relax. When you really need to concentrate, the quiet of the library is a great place to escape the activity of the dorm. The library is also where you can find the most comfortable chairs on campus.
When you are in class, take as many notes as you possibly can. In college, professors will tend to leverage off of the lectures more than the books, as this can help you to get better grades on tests. Also, taking notes is a very important skill that you will need throughout college so it is important to practice.
Do not let anyone, including yourself, pressure you into rushing your declaration or choice of major. At most colleges and universities, you are going to spend at least two years doing general education classes regardless. Use these to explore various avenues and fields of interest to winnow down to what really fascinates you.
There are many costs associated with college. Tuition, books, and living expenses are just a few of the things you'll be spending money on while in college. Don't let this discourage you though, as you can spend less if you know know. Just use the given tips and you'll be saving money in no time.

KOIL Kashiwa-no-ha Open Innovation Lab Project
KOIL should not be an ordinary commuter town. The project started with open innovation as a keyword.
One of Japan's largest coworking space KOIL (Kashiwa-no-ha Open Innovation Lab), which is expected to serve as a new hub to create innovations, came into being in April 2014 in Kashiwa-no-ha, Chiba Prefecture. KOIL is a space to create innovative new projects, products and services through the interaction and sharing of knowledge, technology, and ideas with people from all walks of life including entrepreneurs and members of the community at large.
Loftwork designed a "space" to rejuvenate a community coordinating space, service and web productions. Functions required for a space that drives innovation were defined based on fieldwork and user survey. Art directors and architects as well as members from the Mitsui Fudosan team shared vision and joined the project.

Opinion: "Plan S" falls short for society publishers—and for the researchers they serve | PNAS

"Hence, I, like many in scientific society leadership and publishing, have been following with great interest the ambitious plan ("Plan S") put forward in September by a group of European funding agencies. But although well-intentioned, several aspects are troubling and problematic for society publishers and the scientific community at large. These aspects require serious discussion and, in some cases, a rethink...."

Fireworks Safety
Help protect pets and friends in your neighborhood this summer
Norwalk residents, like others across the country, celebrate summer holidays by spending time with family and enjoying the outdoors. The City of Norwalk encourages safe, thoughtful celebrating with consideration given to neighbors and other community members. With Independence Day coming up, here's some important information to ensure that all of our residents have a happy holiday:
|Example of safe and sane fireworks:
|Example of ILLEGAL fireworks:
For those who wish to have their own fireworks at home, only safe and sane, legally purchased fireworks are permitted in the City of Norwalk. Fireworks that have an aerial effect or explode are NOT safe and sane. Find out more about fireworks safety by clicking on the images below in English and Spanish.
Safe and sane fireworks can only be used beginning Wednesday, July 1 through Saturday, July 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. in the City of Norwalk. Use outside of this time period is not permitted.
The City will not tolerate illegal fireworks. Illegal or misused fireworks can have a detrimental impact on people's health and safety. Injuries to handlers or even worse, innocent bystanders, such as children, may have a lasting impact on families. Fireworks can also adversely impact veterans of the armed forces and others suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and can be detrimental for neighborhood pets, as the noise can cause animals to run from the source, resulting in injury or death of the fleeing pet.
Often illegal fireworks hit the black market long before the 4th of July. If you witness or know about illegal fireworks transactions, please report it! Reports can be made anonymously to Public Safety or the Sheriff's Department or at www.lacrimestoppers.org.
The City is asking for your cooperation and help in keeping Norwalk safe for everyone, pets and people alike, by reporting illegal firework sales and the use of fireworks outside of the permitted time frame
Effective May 31, 2020
Individuals will be held accountable for the discharge, possession, storage, and sales of dangerous (illegal) fireworks on property they own, rent, lease, or are in immediate control of. This means that if illegal fireworks are found upon or used at your residence or property you have control of, you will be considered in violation and subject to fines of up to $1,500 per violation.
Illegal fireworks can be reported to:
Norwalk Public Safety at (562) 929-5732 or the Sheriff's Department at (562) 863-8711.
For more information on safe and sane fireworks watch the video below:

I do not own a PS3, and so generally I do not follow too much news on the system; every now and again a great PS3 exclusive like Little Big Planet or Uncharted will pique my interest, but usually I tend to focus on news within the world of the Xbox 360. However, over the last few days the news of problems with the PSN network has been too widespread for me to ignore.
From what I can gather, something or someone external to the system has caused the PSN Network to crash, meaning that millions of PS3 owners have been unable to get online for four days and use the many features that the PS3 offers, such as television and film streaming. This is after Sony claimed that the system was undergoing maintenance. The head of communications for Playstation, Patrick Seybold, has recently said that the problem is 'much more severe' that initially thought, and that 'we are working around the clock to bring it back online'. The group of hackers, Anonymous (who have a beef with Sony), have not claimed responsibility for the problems with the network.
I know that several of my friends have a PS3 because of the attraction to what the PSN Network offers: allowing gamers to play online for free, stream the BBC IPlayer and LoveFilm, and download classics from the PSOne store amongst them. The problems with the network must feel like a kick in the balls to them as a result, especially considering a few of them are itching to go online with Portal 2 and try out the co-op mode. It's not the first time that the PSN Network has gone down as well, and it makes me wonder as someone external to the PS3 community as to how stable a service it is, considering that Xbox Live is for the most part bullet-proof. I also find it ironic that this week Microsoft have offered a free gold upgrade to all its members for a week to experience what their service offers. Sabotage on Microsoft's behalf perhaps?
Overall, it's a shame to see PS3 owners suffer from something that is beyond their control, and for their sake I would like to see the PSN Network back up to normal soon. In the meantime, I think I'll just pop onto Live for an hour or two

We have written other past blogs that show how the weather in the U.S. effects us here in Canada. Without rain pastures don't grow as plentiful, feed becomes more expensive, and consequently beef, etc. becomes more expensive. I can't help but think of this as I saw this hit the news.
Lake Mead is a man-made reservoir that serves 20 million residents in Nevada,Arizona, and California. The water levels are at an all time low.
The water level is currently at 1,074 feet and is expected to drop more in the coming weeks, losing another 5 ft by the end of June. The present depth is the lowest since the basin was built in 1937. The water contracts that depend on the lake have not been affected as yet, but the Colorado River Basin is in the midst of a 16 yr drought, which is the worst in 100 yrs of recorded history. The drought and continuing warming climate have contributed to the low run off levels from the Colorado River to Lake Mead.
Several efforts to conserve water are now underway in the area. The lower basin states are looking to conserve 1.5 to 3 million acre feet of water over the next 5 yrs. One acre foot of water is enough to supply two average homes in Las Vegas Valley for just over a year.
Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam still see millions of visitors a year and this popular tourist attraction remains open throughout the year.

Getting organizational redesign right. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again."
If W. E. Hickson, the British author known for popularizing that familiar proverb in the mid-19th century, were alive today, he might easily be applying it (disparagingly) to the efforts of modern corporations to redesign their organizations. Recent McKinsey research surveying a large set of global executives suggests that many companies, these days, are in a nearly permanent state of organizational flux. Almost 60 percent of the respondents, for example, told us they had experienced a redesign within the past two years, and an additional 25 percent said they experienced a redesign three or more years ago.

Whether we seek to improve the speed at which we manufacture products, install new equipment, organize shipments or file quarterly closing, we need the coordinated efforts of many different competencies. Deploying these competencies in a logical sequence is relatively easy. However, breaking assumptions about the way performances should be controlled and measured seems to be a true cognitive ordeal. The measurement of performances seems to be inextricably connected with a local, i.e. functional indicator while we all know that what matters is the global bottom line of the company.

You already know that the outdated hierarchal organizational structure won't work and if you are like many companies you are probably beginning to realize that the matrix type structure (where each employee reports to both a task manager and a resource manager) has its own limitations.

Erik Erikson was a famous Danish psychologist who developed a very useful theory about how we mature. He talked about leadership, getting along with others and making sense of our world. Although every psychology student knows about Erikson, the business world has been slow to realize that his theory also applies to the workplace. Erikson said that at each one of eight stages we learn how to master a specific task. If we are successful, this leads to the development of a lasting strength or ability, which helps us deal with our world and those around us. In the first stage we learn either to trust or mistrust people. How does this apply at work? A Guide to Matrix Management. The McKinsey 7S Framework - Strategy Skills from MindTools.com.

How do you go about analyzing how well your organization is positioned to achieve its intended objective? This is a question that has been asked for many years, and there are many different answers. Some approaches look at internal factors, others look at external ones, some combine these perspectives, and others look for congruence between various aspects of the organization being studied. Ultimately, the issue comes down to which factors to study. SIX-BOX MODEL - Welcome to MarvinWeisbord.com. For several years I've experimented with "cognitive maps" of organizations.
These are labels that would help me better describe what I saw and heard and understand the relationships among various bits of data. I started this endeavor when I realized that though I knew a lot of organization theory, most theories are either (1) too narrow to include everything I wished to understand, or (2) too broadly abstract to give much guidance. These notes represent a progress report on my efforts to combine bits of data, theories, research, and hunches into a working tool which anybody can use.
For want of a more elegant name, I call this tool the "Six-Box Model." This model (Fig. 1) has helped me to rapidly expand my diagnostic framework from interpersonal and group issues to the more complicated contexts in which organizations are managed.

Founder Steve Wandler started Metabridge in 2008 as a way to help startup entrepreneurs get access to high value talent in the Silicon Valley, and it's turned into an annual powerhouse event.
Who gets to go to Metabridge?
Metabridge is an invite-only event, with an advisory committee evaluating every application (get a headstart on Metabridge 2019 by applying here!).
You can also apply to be a Top 15 Start-Up, with the opportunity to attend for free and pitch your product to the assembled VCs and CEOs. This year, the Top 15 includes companies like Zoom.ai, Caddle, and CrowdRiff.

…a helicopter ride over Lake Okanagan…
Well, I might have spent all night awake on a red eye (and still in my plane clothes) BUT it was worth it to land in time for a helicopter ride overlooking Kelowna and the Okanagan Lake 😍.

Dr. Iris Ofelia López is currently a Professor of Sociology and the Co-Director of the Program in Latin American and Latino Studies, a newly expanded area of study at the City College of New York (CUNY). Dr. López is the author of Matters of Choice: Puerto Rican Women's Struggle for Reproductive Freedom, and represents the interpretation of this issue through an anthropological lens.
- B.A. in Spanish literature from NYU in 1975
- M.A. (1980) and Ph.D. (1985) in anthropology from Columbia University
Anthropological Interests
An oft-described feminist anthropologist, Dr. López has combined her interests in women's issues with topics of ethnicity and Latin American identity. Her own areas of study are extensive and varied, ranging from survey of Puerto Ricans in the United States (including matters of poverty, family ties, community support systems, and youth education) to wide analysis of gender issues, specifically reproductive rights, pre-natal care, and sterilization abuse. Many of her works include aspects of both, focusing on interactions between history, socioeconomic class, ethnicity, community, and reproductive choice.
"I became an anthropologist primarily because I wanted to write about the Puerto Rican experience as I knew it, not how it had been portrayed by others." -Iris López
Dr. López is active in the American Anthropological Association; she appears on the Society for Medical Anthropology's website as an academic resource in applied and urban anthropology. Furthermore, she has reviewed several books on topics within her area of expertise in the AAA publications Medical Anthropology Quarterly and American Anthropologist. She has lectured at many universities and institutions on reproductive freedom and feminist anthropology, and has received highly positive reviews from her current and former students regarding her teaching and career.
Fieldwork in Brooklyn, New York
Dr. López's primary ethnography, Matters of Choice, was published in 2008. The work is based on twenty-five years of research within several Puerto Rican families now living in Brooklyn, New York. By highlighting the experiences up to four generations of women within the same family, Dr. López manages to draw crucial connections between a past rooted in Puerto Rican history and a distinct Puerto Rican-American experience within New York. The focus on multi-generational life histories shapes her book and her discussions of agency and the meaning of choice. Dr. López has published additional work in several series and anthropological collections focused on experiences of Latin Americans, especially those of Latina women and their reproductive choices.
"Matters of Choice is that rare work of scholarship whose ideas and rich findings are central to the literatures on social movements and gender studies. López explodes the usual binary of victim vs. free agent and helps us to imagine what real reproductive justice might look like." -Rosalind Petchesky, CCUNY
Major Findings
- Lasting remnants of racist and classist policies within United States healthcare systems work to constrain Puerto Rican women's fertility choices, within a mix of other social, economic, and historical impacts. (López 2008)
- Binary constructs of agent and victim cannot accurately convey the intricately and individually complex influences on women's reproductive decisions. (López 2008)
- Optimal reproductive freedom can only occur within a gender-equitable and aware society, supported by freedom within other social, cultural, and personal facets of life. (López 2008: 154)
Why Iris López?
We selected Dr. Iris López as our anthropologist based on her intensive research and expertise on the topic of reproductive constraint among a specific population of women. We were intrigued by her interpretations of what "choice" and "freedom" truly mean, the historical components of her research methods, and her discussions of how larger structures contribute to fertility decisions made by Latina women.

Find out why others trust David Coates and Aaron Hamstead, your local Mortgage Choice broker from Brighton
Great service is not just a matter of luck - we plan for it. But don't take my word for it, here are a few examples taken from the hundreds of testimonials we've received!
David has been excellent to work with. He has explained things clearly to me, has been responsive and has achieved an excellent outcome at a time when banking conditions have been challenging.
I do not believe I would have been able to get this outcome without his expertise, help and support.
Thanks David.
Great service, very pleasant experience first time round and again on my refinance, and car loan.
David Coates was extremely obliging, helpful and efficient.
Thank you for all your help over the years with mortgages, car finance and re-finance's. We would not have been able to get the mortgage without you and we certainly would not have saved as much money without you. Thank you!
This was the smoothest transaction I have experienced with home loans so far - minimal fuss and quick, efficient turnaround
Friendly, professional service. I had full confidence in the financial advice I was given for both my mortgage and income protection.
David and Helen were great. Talked us through each step and was patient with us, especially when we had troubles getting all our paperwork together.
Great service - knowledgeable, plain English, easy to contact and excellent at following up/updating on loan progress.
David was very accommodating by visiting us at home and taking the time to explain all of our options clearly to us. He stepped us through the process clearly and made buying our home an easy process - no dramas!
David and team were fantastic with deep industry knowledge and ensured a great experience.
David and Danielle were great. As first home buyers we had a heap of questions and they were very patient and helpful throughout our process, often working on various possible scenarios for us.
Thank you David for an excellent service experience
Very helpful service and quick response at all times. Helped me get back into own home at 60 years of age after renting for nearly 25 years.
Once again quality service and advice
The whole team did a great job helping me find my first home. Thanks to David Coates and Danielle Lyons and team for the support.
I will always go to David for any further home loans I might require. He has been fantastic to deal with.
The following attributes make your service outstanding:
1. Immediate response to client requests
2. Time efficiency
3. Commitment to finding the best solution
4. Honest appraisal of clients financial circumstances
5. Ongoing support with following up on each step of the process
David has helped us with four mortgages and a car loan over the last 15 years. We wouldn't go anywhere else when we are next looking for new finance.
The team at Mortgage Choice were amazing - friendly, helpful and kept me up to date with how everything was progressing every step of the way. Very happy!
David went above and beyond helping us with this loan, even to the extent of travelling to us in Ballarat to sign the papers. He is an extremely dedicated, professional asset to any business.
As customers in a unique position of living and earning internationally we benefited from seeing a range of options in one go rather than having to approach many banks.
Great customer service - helped a lot leading up to settlement
I was impressed by the professionalism of the first meeting and felt comfortable that I was in experienced, competent hands. All staff members were great to deal with.
David and his team have always been a great help for us as we navigate our way through mortgage and borrowing options. Many thanks!
Even though our case was a bit more complex with me being on a visa, we received great service and quick replies.
Very efficient service. Everything went smoothly.
We had an atypical experience because we came to you at the very last minute in relation to obtaining finance to purchase our first family home. We were no longer happy with our existing broker who had seriously let us down two days prior to an auction for a home that we had our hearts set on after looking for over 12 months.
We initially called on a friend's recommendation and were quite desperate because time was against us for an auction the next day. We found David to be extremely helpful providing extremely useful information straight off the bat that had not been offered to us previously. At the time, I noted that this sounded like it was quite standard, however our previous broker had not offered us any similar information and I already felt like I had made a good decision making the phone call.
Our discussion greatly assisted my partner and I to make an informed decision and we immediately felt like you were trusted advisors with very sound knowledge of the best way forward. In addition, you were available for an extra conversation on a Saturday when we were totally new "potential" customers with no working history or real relationship.
Once we had made our purchase the process for obtaining our mortgage was a seamless, fast and easy experience. We would not hesitate to recommend your business to friends and family in the future.
Thank you again for all of your assistance.
David and the team were easy to deal with, quick with any issues. David explained everything really well in the initial interview and set out all the options and what they entailed.
David and Danielle, we really appreciate everything you have done for us. You made buying our first home in Australia as easy as 1, 2, 3. Thank you!!
Very happy. David and his team are professional, supportive and friendly. This is the second time we have used David's services as we are very confident we are getting the best service and advice.
The team at Mortgage Choice made me feel supported from the beginning and took care of everything. The team was approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to my friends, colleagues and family.
Everything went smoothly, everyone was very helpful and professional.
Personalised and attentive service and customer support. Very happy with outcome: lower percentage and much better loan product.
Very happy with service provided by David and team. Prompt in communication and replying to any questions.
David and his team have been very professional and informative throughout the whole application process through to loan approval. He has gone above and beyond with all our queries and understanding what we want.
David came over and was super helpful. We knew accurately what we could borrow and adopted his recommendation for our needs. Melinda was also great over the phone and could help us whenever we had questions.
Being a new property investor, I needed hand holding and was not made to feel I had asked one too many questions. Patience of staff is much appreciated as well as being followed up.
Very prompt, and extremely aware of my needs. I felt informed at all times and found all of my communication with all staff to be professional at all times.
Friendly service, helped with a complex loan and flexible with after hours meeting times. Thanks again David.
Very professionally handled. No effort whatsoever needed on my part. The five week settlement went very smoothly.
Very stress free transfer. It was great to hand the documentation side of things to someone who knew exactly what needed to be done.

Lately I've been watching more gay/lesbian media than I usually do, and I've stumbled upon a semi-annoying discovery. In both movies and TV it's a lot easier to find gay (likable) men than women. The token gay best friend is always a guy. There's a crazy difference in the amount of movies about gay men versus gay women – when looking at titles it's like a sea of gays with the occasional lesbian thrown in for kicks. In said movies, they typically function like the hetero couples, just a bit more flamboyant. An easy tangent would be to talk about the clear stereotype for how a gay man functions in society, but I think we all know what that would be. For instance: shopping, superficiality, hair with frosted tips, and "Hey girl , heeeeyy." Even so, the media seems to be far more comfortable with the idea of two men than two ladies – unless they are behaving as a sex symbol.
Lesbians are portrayed as either super butch, anti-men feminists, or high maintenance lipsticks. This is not to say that butch lesbians aren't walking about or that women are always easy to be around, but they get placed on an extreme binary scale. When I do find the rare lesbian movie that sounds interesting, the woman almost always ends up with a guy in the end. And if by some miracle she doesn't, she still messed around with one. Of course, clearly if she sees a penis she's going to stick around – at least in the media. This is not to say that these aren't good movies, The Kids Are Alright is wonderful, I own it, but it does fall into that mindset of needs a man. The films that don't have the switching teams factor are typically low-budget indies with acting that's either superb or painfully bad, there's no middle ground. I'm sick of watching these romantic or dramatic movies just to have the couple you're rooting for suddenly break up and retreat into a hetero normative world. I want to cheer on a lesbian couple and have them stick it out with that Hollywood romantic comedy happily ever after ending. Straight couples and gay men get that all the time, it's the ladies turn.

Charles "Chase" Merritt, accused in the quadruple homicides of the McStay family in 2010, has a new legal defense team.
San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Michael Smith had given Merritt, 58, until a hearing Friday, March 4, to hire new lawyers, which he said he wanted to do, or agree to another representation option.
In recent weeks, Merritt had represented himself after he terminated his legal team. The new team is attorneys Rajan Maline and James E. McGee II, both of Riverside. Another hearing on discovery, or exchange of documents, is scheduled March 23.
Merritt pleaded not guilty to murder charges in 2014 in the deaths of his former business associate, Joseph McStay, McStay's wife and their two children. Their skeletal remains were found in 2013 in the desert near Victorville. Merritt was arrested a year later. He was living in Homeland west of Hemet at the time, but previously lived in Apple Valley.

Are you ready for the spring market? If you're looking to sell your home this spring, make sure you're prepared. Check out these 5 common mistakes homeowners make when preparing their home for sale:
Forgetting about paperwork.
We aren't referring to your standard paperwork like title, insurance, and survey. We're talking about documents like warranties, dates of home improvements, and permits for work completed. These documents can help your sales professional when they are marketing your home.
While it's tempting to update and upgrade your home to make it more appealing and modern, make sure you don't go overboard. Consider the estimated costs versus the estimated value increase. A few simple changes can get your home is selling shape without breaking the bank.
Keeping your neon color scheme.
While bright, bold, or neon colors may work for you, it may not work for potential buyers. You want to keep your home as clean as possible, and that also applies to paint color. If you're into bright colors for your walls, try and paint them before listing to reflect a neutral palette. Zillow stated, "homes with light blue bathrooms and taupe colored living rooms were especially popular in homes that sold for more [money]... homes with dark red or brown colored walls sold for as much as $2,310 less than expected."
Listing your home at a price that's too high... or too low.
Knowing what price to list your home at can be difficult. A real estate professional has the experience, knowledge, and tools to list your home competitively for your market. Curious what your home could be worth? Make sure you check out our Home Value Estimator Tool.
Selling your home on your own.
It can be tempting to try to sell your home without a real estate professional. But did you know that those who sell their home without a real estate sales professional sell their homes for a median of $64,000 less? A real estate sales professional can add a lot of additional value to your home selling experience outside of dollars and cents, too!
If you're looking to sell your home and aren't sure where to start, reach out to a HUNT Real Estate sales professional today. They can help guide you through the entire home selling process!

When it comes to The Bachelor, casting is everything.
You need only look at the differing fortunes of New Zealand's first two seasons of the show – the smash-hit success with dreamboat Art Green versus the Jordan Mauger "Oh God, what am I doing?" trainwreck – to see that.
And across the Tasman, where the sixth season of The Bachelor Australia is underway, the show's producers have well and truly outdone themselves with picking their talent this year.
Not only have they found a rugby star Bachelor who says he's as "nervous as a goose in a doona factory", they've also somehow managed to cast a clingy former love interest as one of the 25 women vying for his attention.
Former international rugby player Nick "The Honey Badger" Cummins, famous for his curly mop of hair and a fondness for one-liners, made his flamin' Bachelor debut on Bravo last night in an episode that easily warranted the record ratings it enjoyed in Australia a week ago.
As is tradition, the series opener saw Cummins meet the women hoping to win his heart, and the group had the usual balance of clear frontrunners, delicious villains, eccentrics and, as luck would have it, somebody he'd already been on a few dates with.
Early favourite Brooke showed up to the Bachelor mansion with a pair of balls in hand and proceeded to give Cummins a lesson in how to pass a rugby ball. Claiming to be a rugby fan, she was clearly not enthusiastic enough about the sport to recognise a Wallaby in the wild.
Other notable arrivals included energy healer Cayla, who gifted the Honey Badger with 2kg of rose quartz; Shannon, who played it cool by telling him she loved him within the first minute; and Dasha, a personal trainer who introduced herself by wrapping her feet around the Bachelor's neck and performing what I think was either a gym move or sex act.
The season's villain quota was filled by fashion designer Cat, who seemed more focused on another Bachelorette she claimed was still dating her ex, and the ironically-named Vanessa Sunshine, who sourly told us she was "not thrilled" by the Bachelor's moustachioed appearance.
But none of these arrivals could compare to that of Cass, a 23-year-old student who (shocking plot twist ahead) appeared to have previously hooked up with the man of the hour.
It was hard to tell if Cummins was laughing or screaming upon seeing this blast from the past, but it became very obvious Cass was keen to rekindle that flame.
As series host Osher Günsberg kicked the first cocktail party off with a tacky jewellery box containing a key to the Bachelor's pad for one lucky lady (gross, I know), Cass' determination to pick up where she left off with the Honey Badger only grew.
As other Bachelorettes knocked back champagne, squabbled over nothing or jumped into the nearby pool fully clothed, Cass obsessively kept tabs on who Cummins was chatting to (if the show's editing was to be believed, anyway).
When she finally got her chance to talk with him, she had a confession to make.
"In a diary, I wrote down goals and dreams that I want to happen this year – and it's happening right now," she said.
The bewildered Badger asked if his name was in the dream diary.
"Yes. I told the universe what I wanted and it's happening," Cass replied.
By this point, I was hiding behind the couch, unable to watch any more of the humiliating scenario unfolding on my TV, as was anyone else who's been 23 and chased a crush that just wasn't that keen.
With Brooke eventually bequeathed the key to the Bachelor's pad (congratulations, I guess?), the first of the Honey Badger's rose ceremonies got underway, where we bade farewell to three contenders whose faces I didn't even remember seeing earlier.
It meant Cummins had decided (with absolutely no input from the producers, I'm sure) to keep his former flame, the villains, and the quirky energy healer at the mansion for another day, which is great news for dedicated fans of the show.
Because between the ex and brewing tensions between two other Bachelorettes over boyfriends past, there are some particularly juicy storylines brewing in the pipeline. So, please do pass the popcorn.
The Bachelor Australia screens Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8.30pm on Bravo.

Books and bookcases cropping up in stuff that I've written means that they have to be reproduced on stage or on film. This isn't as straightforward as it might seem. A designer will either present you with shelves lined with gilt-tooled library sets, the sort of clubland books one can rent by the yard as decor, or he or she will send out for some junk books from the nearest second-hand bookshop and think that those will do. Another short cut is to order in a cargo of remaindered books so that you end up with a shelf so garish and lacking in character it bears about as much of a relationship to literature as a caravan site does to architecture. A bookshelf is as particular to its owner as are his or her clothes; a personality is stamped on a library just as a shoe is shaped by the foot.
That someone's working library has a particular tone, with some shelves more heterogeneous than others, for example, or (in the case of an art historian) filled with offprints and monographs or (with an old-fashioned literary figure for instance) lined with the faded covers and jackets of distinctive Faber or Cape editions, does not seem to occur to a designer. On several occasions I've had to bring my own books down to the theatre to give the right worn tone to the shelves.

"I learned that it's ok to not eat every time you think you need to."
Popular diets often get a bad rap, but they're popular for a reason – they work.
And for this Reddit user, it worked spectacularly well.
Going by the username 'MissGuac' she shared her amazing weight loss journey on the social media site to encourage other users.
Originally weighing in at 146kg, she's now just 81kg.
That's a whopping 64kg weight loss.
"I weigh 5 lbs (2.3kg) more after they removed 5 lbs (2.3kg) of loose skin 17 days ago thanks to swelling, but I'm still loving this dress!!!," she wrote.
Her secret to shedding so much fat? Intermittent fasting.
Popularised by Dr Michael Mosely in, intermittent fasting involves periods of eating very little calories at set points during the week. It also helps with health conditions including inflammation.
What makes it popular is that you can choose the fast times to fit in with your lifestyle.
"I chose to eat breakfast, lunch, and a snack between 7am-2pm," MissGuac says.
"This meant that I would go home and not be 'allowed' to eat. I had already eaten sufficient calories for my needs.
"So every time I would go walk to the kitchen, I would be able to stop myself and go 'why am I doing this?' and reflect on all the behaviours other than hunger that trigger me to eat.
"It also meant that I was able to feel hungry, accept that I wasn't eating, and let the pangs pass. I learned that it's ok to not eat every time you think you need to."
5 benefits of intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting cycles between periods of reduced or zero calorie intake and periods of unrestricted eating.
For the first six weeks, MissGauc ate just 15000 calories a day which kickstarted her diet and helped her lose 11kg.
She started walking, up to 24km a week, which saw her lose another 23kg.
Her fitness improved, she eventually took up running and has completed two half marathons.
To maintain her weight loss, she now sticks to 1200 calories a day.

Welsh Witterings: Comfort Food Chocolate and Orange soufflé
The cold and soggy weather always makes me want to stay indoors and cook comfort food. I can think of nothing better than a nice rich, chocolate soufflé and with my recipe you can prepare it an hour in advance, which makes it far easier to serve up at dinner parties and indeed when you are needing to feed hungry children, who are too young to understand that some recipes take time.
Recipe for 6 soufflés
175g good quality dark chocolate
150g unsalted butter
4 free range eggs, separated
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
45g caster sugar
1 tbsp orange liqueur
cocoa powder for dusting
Sauce ingredients
90 ml double cream
1 tbsp orange liqueur
Zest of a small orange
75g dark chocolate
preheat the oven to 220oC, 425oF, Gas Mark 7
- generously butter six 150 ml ovenproof pots. You can use ovenproof mugs, cups or the traditional ramekin.
- dust the greased pots with cocoa powder, and tap out any excess.
- melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a simmering pan of water; stir until smooth
- remove the melted chocolate from the heat and cool slightly
- now beat the egg yolks and liqueur
- set aside and stir occasionally
- in a clean, grease free bowl, whisk the egg whites. Add the cream of tartar and whisk to soft peaks.
- Gradually sprinkle the sugar over the egg whites , whisking until stiff and glossy
- Stir a third of the egg whites into the cooled chocolate mixture, then pour the incorporated chocolate mixture over the egg whites and fold in carefully.
- Spoon into the prepared dishes
- bake for 10-12 minutes, until well risen
- Whilst the soufflé's bake , place the cream, orange zest and chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat stir in the liqueur and pour into a jug ready for pouring over the soufflé's when ready.
- Enjoy the chocolate orange soufflé's straight out of the oven when they are well risen.
Who says the cold weather is a bad thing? It's certain that cold and wet weather looks infinitely better with a chocolate pudding in your hand.

Burning fossil fuels leads to climate warming, which leads to burning more fossil fuels for cooling, which leads to more climate warming. The vicious cycle described in the article "Climate change vs. energy use" (Metro, Aug. 6) is just another example of a general problem with our growth-obsessed economic system.
Our economy burdens itself. The opioid addiction crisis arose because of greedy and reckless behavior in the pharmaceutical industry. Landfills are overflowing with junk mail because the post office sees it as a moneymaker. Farmers buy more energy-intensive fertilizers because the market demands agricultural practices that deplete the soil. We spend needless billions on health care as result of air pollution that could be avoided with better regulation. And we don't require conservation because doing so could hurt profits — better to consume more stuff.
These extra costs that we impose on ourselves are rooted in a system with an insatiable appetite for economic growth. We fail to constrain "growth" even where the net value of that economic activity is negative. Being forced to turn up the air conditioning to be comfortable in an overheated climate is just another byproduct of misplaced priorities and an economy that needs some serious rethinking.

The LinkedIn professional networking service is getting a new chief executive.
Jeff Weiner will become executive chairman after 11 years as chief of the Microsoft-owned business.
Ryan Roslansky, senior vice president of product, will become chief executive as of June 1.
Mr Weiner said the timing felt right personally and professionally, with a ready successor, while Mr Roslansky said LinkedIn's priority of serving the world's professionals is not going to change.
Couldn't be more excited to start my next play as LinkedIn's Executive Chairman on June 1st. Congrats to @Ryros on becoming our next CEO. https://t.co/txanyXU3Xh
— Jeff Weiner (@jeffweiner) February 5, 2020
LinkedIn is a social network for workers and job seekers, with recruiters using it to find new staff.
Users can share their CVs, search for jobs and catch up on career advice and the latest news.
The basic version is free, though LinkedIn charges to get additional features.
Mr Weiner said he sees his new role as similar to how LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman helped him.
"He was there to help ensure that I was going to be successful," Mr Weiner said in a video posted by LinkedIn.
"So I'd like to replicate this process."
Mr Weiner said he would still be available to represent the company and help with product or strategy reviews.
The service has about 675 million members, compared with 33 million when Mr Weiner joined LinkedIn as chief executive in 2008.
Microsoft bought the company for 26 billion dollars (£20 billion) in 2016, making it the company's largest acquisition.
LinkedIn made up almost 6% of Microsoft revenue over the past six months.
Mr Roslansky has been at LinkedIn for more than 10 years.
He will report to Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella and join Microsoft's senior leadership team.

Date: 25th Nov 2015 @ 4:23pm
On Wednesday 29-09-2015, 5 members of staff and 62 very excited year 6 children embarked on their annual residential trip to PGL Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire We stayed from Wednesday to Friday and were involved in many adventurous and exciting activities, most of which many of the children hadn't experienced before. These included an aerial obstacle course, wall climbing, rifle shooting, raft building, trapeze, problem solving, survival training, camp fire, capture the flag and tunnel trails. All the activities were extremely well organised by enthusiastic and encouraging staff and were all undertaken with the strictest safety measures. The PGL staff built the children's confidence and helped them overcome many apprehensive moments and achieve personal goals. It was amazing to see some of the children in a completely different light from day to day within the classroom, both working in teams and independently. On the whole the three days were a resounding success and we were extremely proud of our pupils as they behaved in an exemplary way, showing good manners and courtesy where ever they went, often receiving compliments from the PGL staff. Having these children in our care is an honour and privilege and being able to watch them grow and flourish in independence and character is very rewarding indeed.

Cup final is just reward for King's Lynn Town players after tough campaign – Ian Culverhouse
PUBLISHED: 18:08 15 March 2017 | UPDATED: 18:08 15 March 2017
Matthew Usher Photography
The Ian Culverhouse era may still be in its infancy at King's Lynn Town but the new Linnets boss is already building some momentum.
His squad came out on top of a bruising battle with Norwich United in the Norfolk Senior Cup semi-finals on Tuesday, to seal a place in the Carrow Road final.
Penalties were needed to separate the teams after the game finished 1-1, with Lynn wasteful in 90 minutes but thankful to goalkeeper Alex Street for keeping the Planters at bay in extra-time.
Match report: King's Lynn Town reach Norfolk Senior Cup final after shoot-out win over Norwich United
While that secures a return to the former Norwich City player and assistant manager's old stomping ground, Culverhouse is only worried about his squad, who are out of the running for promotion and relegation in the Southern Premier Division.
"It will be great for the players, it's all about the players," the former Canaries defender said.
"We said at the start before we came here about having a reward for all the hard work, it would just be a shame for the season to peter out. But now they're going to have their reward at a fantastic stadium, on a fantastic pitch and hopefully perform, so that's something to look forward to."
The Linnets boss admitted that victory over the lower-level Planters did not come easily.
"When it gets to penalties it's a lottery and it's shame that one team had to lose," he added. "Full credit to Norwich United, I thought they were tremendous.
"They pegged us back, made our keeper make some very good saves and gave us a proper game and I'd like to wish them all the best for the rest of the season and I hope they achieve what they hope to achieve."
Norwich boss Steve Eastaugh was pleased with the efforts of his players in an all-action game, who will now return their focus to chasing a play-off place in Ryman League Division One North.
"I thought we were second best in the first half, I felt they outplayed us, but second half we came back into it a lot more," Eastaugh said.
"It made a difference when we changed our shape and to be honest we probably should have won it in extra-time with the chances we had, Alex Street has made an outstanding save to deny Adam Hipperson. Then when you go to pens it's a toss of a coin, two good goalkeepers and they just held their nerve a little bit better."

I visited New Orleans (3 nights) in March 2019 with a close friend for a golf trip. With its great spring weather, New Orleans has many great restaurants, activities and neighborhoods to explore - from French Quarter to the Warehouse to the newly revitalized Uptown. The town feels expansive, but the neighborhoods are very small which makes them a lot of fun to explore.
We stayed at The Roosevelt – A Waldorf Astoria Hotel which is a nice, old-world yet spacious and welcoming hotel at the edge of the French Quarter – a great location because it is a close walk to French Quarter but not directly in it. The hotel has a nice, small gym with everyone one would need and the hotel in general is very open, spacious and welcoming.
Select Favorites
- Dining: The French Quarter has some wonderful lunch places including Sylvain and the Napoleon House and dinner spots including NOLA and Doris Metropolitan; for a great night at a sports bar with giant TVs, head to the riverfront area to Manning's; our best dinners were in the warehouse district at Chophouse steakhouse and Meril's italian.
- Activities: We played golf at two great local courses - English Turn and TPC Louisiana; definitely would recommend drinks in the revitalized uptown area at Cure, bourbon and a cigar at the open-air Cuban Crafters Cigar Lounge in the French Quarter and drinks at famous French Quarter spots like French 75, Cellar Door and the Carousel Bar.
I would recommend New Orleans as a destination to visit, especially if you are looking for moderate to warm weather in the winter months (when much of the rest of the US is cold) and a relaxing, friendly city to vacation or staycation. There is surprisingly nice golf and the neighborhoods have a great vibe and feel very close-knit. Enjoy!
