 Vanadis is named after a goddess from the Norse mythology, standing for war, death, love, beauty, fertility and gold. Described as 'truly European project', the yacht features fully-aluminium construction, with both exteriors and interiors developed by Dutch studio Guido de Groot, along with naval architecture by the Dutch studio Ginton Naval Architects. Furthermore, the technical on-board solutions employ work by Siemens and Schottel. The yacht offers accommodation to up to six guests within a master suite and two guest doubles on the lower deck. The crew capacity on-board makes 4 people.The indoor areas of the main deck include a spacious salon furnished with a large L-shaped sofa, a dining area and an open galley behind the wheelhouse. Two comfortable lounge areas both forward and aft lay on the main deck, as well. On the flybridge, there is the second pilot station with sun loungers, a bar area and a dining area, designed for outdoor relaxation.Equipped with two Schottel STP 150 FP azimuth thrusters, the yacht is driven by a hybrid system. The system deploys traditional diesel engines along with an electric engine supplied by generators or batteries. That ensures low diesel consumption and limits environmental impact, as well as increases comfort on-board through reduced noise and vibrations both at anchor and while cruising. Furthermore, the yacht also comes equipped with both gyroscope- and fin- anti-rolling stabilising systems.The launch of Vanadis demonstrates the Italian boatbuilder's move towards building more environmentally efficient, lower consumption superyachts as the motor yacht is the first vessel in CCN's new 'E-Prop' line of hybrid propulsion crafts.CCN's CEO Diego Michele Deprati explains:The Vanadis opens up a new era for CCN. We want to be pioneers in promoting a cultural revolution that we deem essential to truly respecting our planet.He highlights:Green technology' is the way ahead our shipyard has chosen for the future. The new "E-Prop" range has been born with a view to widening and deepening current research on innovative technological devices and solutions, with the final goal of safeguarding the Earth, which has now become an imperative.Thanks to her double CAT C9.3 B engines, Vanadis reaches the top speed at 12.5 knots and cruises at 8 knots under electric mode. She is also fitted with a set of AKASOL lithium-ion batteries (175 kWh), allowing her to remain at anchor at zero emissions for up to 17 hours in a row and to cruise at limited speed for up to 120 minutes, depending on the power load. The launch of Vanadis demonstrates the Italian builder's course towards more environmentally efficient, lower consumption superyachts, as Vanadis is the first vessel in CCN's new 'E-Prop' line of hybrid propulsion crafts.The general move towards eco-efficient yacht production has been recently on trend, for instance, with Dutch builder Feadship, opening new eco-friendly facility in Amsterdam or introducing new 65m concept Silence with plastic removal system on-board.

Oceanco's sailing yacht Black Pearl and motor yacht DAR have won the highest honours at the World Superyacht Awards, 2019. Black Pearl took home the award for 'Best Sailing Yacht of 60m and above', while DAR won the 'Best Displacement Motor Yacht of 2,000 GT and Above'. Furthermore, both yachts took home the coveted 'Best Yacht of the Year' awards.Marcel Onkenhout, CEO of Oceanco, comments: We are thankful to all of the team members and myriad individuals responsible for the execution of both of these yachts. Moreover, we are thankful for the trust given to us by the Owners of Black Pearl and DAR to build the extraordinary yachts that they envisioned.Launched in 2016, the Black Pearl holds the title of the largest sailing yacht in the world. Inspired by Perini Navi's 88-metre Maltese Falcon, the Black Pearl features similar structure with three rotating masts, while the yacht is capable of crossing the Atlantic burning just 20 litres of fuel thanks to alternative power sources. The Black PearlThe Black Pearl's striking exterior was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and Ken Freivokh, while her praised naval architecture was developed by Dyksra Architects, who had also previously worked on Maltese Falcon.A combination of smart and elegant high-tech design and modernised state-of-the-art DynaRig sailing system makes the Black Pearl a unique vessel. Her hull outline is trademarked with an exclusive wave-piercing bow featuring not only graceful appearance, but also fuel efficiency.Another key element of Black Pearl's development was her solar sails, which can actually produce energy whilst the yacht is underway thanks to solar panels built within the fabric of the sail. DARThe 90-metre motoryacht DAR, with edgy exterior styling by DeBasto Design has an unprecedented exterior glass decoration of nearly 24 tons and nearly 400 square metres. Her detailed interior by Nuvolari Lenard works well with the exterior by taking advantage of the extraordinary floor-to-ceiling views from nearly everywhere on board. In addition to head-turning aesthetics and advanced technology, DAR is the first yacht to ever achieve the Lloyd's Integrated Bridge System (IBS) notation.The World Superyacht Awards is held annually by Boat International Media. This year, it took place in the heart of London, in Old Billingsgate, with nearly 600 guests on hand for the dinner/ awards event. For other nominees, click here. This year's winners list includes among others 71-metre Haida 1929 for the Best Refitted Yachts and 63-metre Rossinavi Utopia IV for Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts 40m and Above.

On May 16, 2019, Dutch builder Feadship opened officially its new eco-conscious superyacht facility in Amsterdam, with Queen Máxima of the Netherlands being the key figure of the ceremony. It is the builder's second facility operated by Royal Van Lent, brought into operation after five years of planning, design and construction.Accommodating the general trend towards ever-larger superyachts, the facility was designed for construction and refit of Feadship superyachts of up to 160 metres in LOA. With its total volume of 425,000 cubic metres, the new facility measures 38 metres in height, allowing plenty of air above the yacht's mast array.Feadship declares the new yard 'the most eco-friendly superyacht yard in the world' thanks to its eco credentials, namely energy efficiency, heating by local waste-to-energy sources and LED lighting. What is more, the main building roof is covered with over 2,000 solar panels, for generation of estimated 550,000 kWh of energy yearly.The Amsterdam site will become Feadship's fourth facility and the second one to be operated by Royal Van Lent, along with the Kaag Island yard. The two premises will share the same management by LVMH Group and the workforce of 450. LVMH Group managing director, Antoni Belloni highlights: This new facility will allow Feadship to stay at the cutting edge of innovation and continue to build superyachts that will change history.Following the opening, Queen Máxima viewed nineteen classic yachts presented on the Feadship quay and met young graduates of the Feadship Academy.The yard's operation has already began earlier this year, with a 110-metre Feadship Anna undergoing refit works at the yard in Amsterdam, while 93-metre Lady S has become the first yacht completed at the newest facility. A couple of days prior to the opening, the latest Feadship unit, a 88-metre Project 816 was moved to the new facility for completion.

Turkish builder Mazu Yachts has revealed interiors of its first 24.5-metre Mazu 82 unit, designed by Istanbul-based studio Tanju Özelgin. Built for a Turkish owner, the first Mazu 82 will be trademarked with the brand's recognisable expansive open decks and three state rooms designed by Tanju Özelgin. Customary design was a key piece of the sale of the Mazu 82. With large hullside windows and triple Volvo Penta IPS power, the yacht will make the most of Mazu's carbon composite sandwich construction.The 24.5-metre yacht is the largest one yet built by Mazu, following successful introductions of 38-, 42-, and 52-foot yachts, all designed by the yard's founder Halit Yukay. This is the first Mazu developed by a dedicated interior designer to optimise the yacht's on-board spaces, bringing them a special sensibility.The Mazu 82 combines clean profile lines with expansive decks, hallmarks of the Mazu line. Özelgin worked with Mazu's generous volume and large hullside windows to continue the vibe to the amidships, full-beam master, which will combine subtle textures, muted colours, and both direct and indirect light to create a relaxing space to solitude for the owners. A master VIP-cabine will have an elegant en-suite facilities, and big wardrobe easily for extend times aboard. Two additional staterooms will round out the guest accommodations. Özelgin says: The main challenge of designing yacht interiors is that the space mostly never stands still and is constantly surrounded by water. This aspect will direct your decisions of which materials to use, the weight and scale of every piece of furniture, and whether or not the furniture is anchored to the decks or otherwise built in: safety also plays a very important role in these decisions. Such factors rarely have an impact on the design of homes and hotels, yet Özelgin approached them with his creative method, resulting in relaxing and elegant ambience, a soothing combination of warm light and inviting textures that enhances time spent on board.In contrast to many yacht interiors constantly reminding owner and guests that they are spending time at sea, Mazu 82 design concept seeks to optimise the sea experience on-board. In this design, the presence of the sea and the movement it imparts to the boat carry that vibe throughout the onboard experience. Özelgin explains:The space has to be as compact and light as possible without losing the illusion of feeling at home or in a nice hotel. This was one of our key aspects during the design phase of the yacht: to create a space which won't let you feel as on a yacht but more as if you were in your own house with all the familiarity and comfort which comes with it.The yacht is powered by triple Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system (1350 –1.000hp x3), which is expected to offer excellent performance maximum speed of 40 knots and cruising efficiency at 35 knots as well as easy handling and maneuverability around the docks. Representing the builder's current flagship, Mazu 82 will be delivered in summer 2019. MazuYachts designs, produces and markets luxury 'hard-top and open' motor yachts since 2011, known for sleek and aggressive looks and made with cold-molded system. Mazu Yachts Hi-tech shipyard facilities are located in Yalova, disposing of 4,000 sqm. of indoor and 1,200 sqm. of outdoor areas.

Harold Ramis died today at the age of 69. He was a talented actor, comedian, and writer but for me he will always be best remembered as a genius director. I could go on for pages and pages about his talent and ideas but instead I will limit myself to just a few words on what I believe is his masterpiece, the film Groundhog Day.
Everyone by now knows the plot of this great film. What people may not realize is how subtle and genius the philosophical issues underlining the plot are. It is essentially a story about a man living in a world he feels he cannot control. Phil (played by the grossly under-estimated and under-utilized Bill Murray) finds himself trapped in a time loop that causes him to repeat what may be the most banal day of his life. This film could have been nothing more than a comedy of errors that allowed Murray to run rampant through this little town using all the jokes and tropes in his bag of tricks but Ramis did not let the story go that route. Instead he gave Murray and the rest of the cast a task to explore what it means to be a human being confronted with the boring, bland and even oppressive monotony of the everyday. Ramis' story is Nietzschean in its view of time and place, positing a eternal reoccurence of events and circumstance that starts out as comical and slowly moves on to the absurd, the tragic and then finally the transcendent.
This would not work the way it does if not for Ramis' skill with framing scenes in such a way as to elicit a sort of cinematic/aesthetic deja vu. We do not see actors redoing scenes, we see them reliving them and in this it enhances Murray's performance and allows him to interact with the characters in such a way as to bring out the desperation of a man who has realized that his life is a loop that is unable to be broken. We come to realize with Phil that the seemingly mystical redo of this day is not so mystical at all but just a more literal manifestation of the everyday. Nothing changes in the world, nothing except for how we react to it, the choices we make and the interactions we have with other people. For the first few days (or is it weeks, or years?) of Phil's experience he continues to push himself to do the same thing over and over again, to try and recreate his experience from the perspective he brought to this town he did not want to visit to do a task he never wanted. But soon he realizes that he has a chance to not only change himself but to change the world around him. He learns to play the piano, he becomes an expert on the goings on of this town and its people, he makes friends, forms memories, and makes realizations about himself in relation to others. Nothing changes in the world around him but he changes, and through this he slowly begins to change the people and the world he interacts with. His interactions with his old high school chum, the insurance shill Ned, starts as a comedy of errors but Phil's disdain for the man slowly becomes an affection that leads him to realize that in his own way Ned is trapped in his own loop. By interacting with him as a human being instead of just as an annoyance he is able to transcend the strangeness of their interactions and help release Ned from his nightmare, the everyday. This epiphany is repeated with other people, most notably his love interest played ably and believably by Andie McDowell, and most tragically with the homeless man who hides in plain sight on the margins of this little universe. He tries to help this man, to improve his life in some way, but continually runs into the true end of this endless loop: death. The man cannot be saved because this man has reached the end of his journey. Phil is thrown into a depression that is all the more profound because he once did not give a shit about anyone or anything. He tries to kill himself, countless times and in many creative and silly ways, but he cannot ever do the deed. Maybe this is because he is not ready to die? Maybe it is because he is not meant to? There is no answer to that question as there is no answer to the finality of death.
The the structure of the movie moves from cynicism to hilarity to farce to cynicism and eventually, inexorably to revelation. Not a religious experience, not some cheap throwaway message about eternal life or the inherent joy of existence. Instead change comes when Phil finally gives up trying to change the world and his circumstances and instead focuses on changing himself and being a good, compassionate friend to those around them. It does not matter in the end that they may not remember this or even reciprocate his generosity and friendship, what matters is the experience of the joy of the moment and the love of people and their flaws, stupidity, and imperfections. People are not meant to be perfected, they are meant to change. Change is not positive or negative but instead regenerative, a constant cycle of renewal and growth that, like the idea of natural selection in nature, moves the individual into greater harmony with and understanding of the world around them. The world itself, the whole, changes so slowly that it may as well be the same day over and over again. Phil embraces this and that is when he is freed from this perverse parody of the everyday.
It takes a real visionary to be able to take such a basic set of tools and turn them into something truly profound. Harold Ramis achieved that feat with Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day may be the most successful American comedy of the past 50 years in regards to its honesty, creativity, humor and craft. I try to watch the film at least once every year and I am continually inspired by Ramis' ability to take what is essentially a ridiculous concept and turn it into a sort of transcendent examination of what it means to live day to day and how our own choices are the main way we escape the drudgery of life. It is a perfect existentialist examination of what it means to be a person living in a world that does not change save for the actions of each person.

My mind can't help being dragged further and further into Roskilde Festival mode. It's less than two weeks away and I am sniffing around the band list for any new acts to check out (pretty stupid as my concert schedule is more than full-booked as it is...).
Anyway, I have heard some whispers of the aussie-band Wolfmother, so I went to their MySpace-site and... simply loved it from the first minute!! If there was a High School of Lep Zep, AC/DC, Doors, Jimi Hendrix style Rock, then these three chaps would be A+ students - the first of their kind since Jack White.
Their brand new self-titled debut album has staggering guitar riffs to burn, and even the odd bongo drum. These guys made my day but have dealt me with a Roskilde problem: Artic Monkeys or Wolfmother?? I'll put my money on the aussies.
Oh, right... Let's hear the stuff:
And see some as well:

Florida Federal Judge Roger Vinson ruled yesterday that the entire Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional, a move characterized by Politico as "the most striking blow yet to President Obama's signature domestic legislation."
Like the recent ruling in Virginia, yesterday's decision addressed the legality of the mandate to buy insurance.
However, the Florida-based lawsuit is considered a more significant attack than the Virginia ruling, both because the lawsuit represents a coalition of 26 states and because the judge goes on to rule that because the mandate provision is unconstitutional, so is the entire law. You can read some of the legal debate around this issue on this Washington Post blog.
Another interesting read is The American Prospect's take on opposition to Health Care Reform in the context of attempts to dismantle The New Deal.
The Florida lawsuit is now headed for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The Atlanta-based court is "considered one of the country's most conservative appellate benches" according to the New York Times' coverage of the case.

This morning was a rough one.
I woke up parched and groggy, feeling both physically and mentally fuzzy after a night out with friends.
We went to a singer-songwriter showcase at a little bar in North Portland. The beer was hoppy, and the acoustic guitars sang out in accompaniment to their strummers. The crowd, a combination of bar regulars and friends of the performers, glowed with the perfect blend of good-time raucousness and contemplative listening.
Did I mention the hoppy beer?
Needless to say I stayed out past my bedtime. Way past.
Which brings me back to this morning. I was spent, beat, exhausted. I skipped my morning yoga and meditation.
Which only made the funk last that much longer.
After years of trial and error, reading and research, I still sometimes have a hard time with sticking to my own program.
But it's absolutely critical.
There are a lot of different things you can do become happy, successful, and sustainable. Activities, exercises, books to read, projects to take on. There are goals to be set, metrics to be tracked, experiments to try…
But it all builds on a core foundation: You.
So in order to get the most out of anything else that you do, it's important to focus first on your own core strength.
I'm not talking physical strength, though that's important, too. I'm talking about mental and emotional strength and resiliency. Building yours is one of the most important things you can do for yourself, but it often gets overlooked in the pursuit of more specific goals.
How do you build your core mental muscles? It's easy! just add these 4 core practices to your daily life:
- Mindfulness
- Gratitude
- Grit
- Time in nature
That's it!
(And two of those, Grit and Mindfulness, were sorely missing for me this morning!)
Ok, so it's easier said than done. How do you cultivate mindfulness? Gratitude for what? What the heck is grit, anyway? And for an urban-dweller, time in nature can be surprisingly challenging!
There are tons of resources out there for each of these practices. If you like exploring, you can dig around for them yourself.
Or, you can save a bit of time and get my free report. I go into detail about each of the 4 practices and why they're important. I show you exactly what they do for you. And most importantly, I've put together a long list of ideas for specific ways to integrate them into your daily life.
I'll have a link set up soon, but for now, if you're interested, drop me a line. Let me know you want the 4 Core Practices report, and I'll send one right over!
Join the list!

This past weekend, another new version of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 was revealed. Dubbed the "Butter" colorway, it boasts a soft yellow Primeknit upper with a semi translucent midsole, a slightly different colored heel on that midsole, and a matching heel strap. Much like the other recent Yeezy 350 reveals, these photos show the sneaker devoid of any obvious SPLY-350 branding. However, it is being reported that this new selection sports a new design that sees the SPLY-350 and the customary stripe that accompanies it placed on the medial side of the sneaker. In this particular case, that change will be hard to notice, as it will be featured in a tonal colorway that matches the rest of the design. Expect this pair that is replacing the previously reported "Ice Yellow" and "Peanut Butter" selections to arrive at select Yeezy retailers in June. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.

"My thanks go to the staff on the day case unit,..."
About: Macclesfield District General Hospital Macclesfield District General Hospital Macclesfield SK10 3BL
Posted via nhs.uk
What I liked
I would like to thank the wonderful staff on the day case unit at Macclesfield general hospital, particularly three members. They were all so caring, reassuring and professional. They were very much appreciated. Thank you.
What could be improved
I think on the whole they have the day cases down to a fine art, my only concern was that the post-op care felt slightly rushed, they certainly couldn't get me home fast enough, for me, with such good support from family, this was not too much of a problem, (just a bit of a shock) my concern would be for those going home with less support, but I feel sure they would have contingences in place for individual circumstances.
Response from Macclesfield District General Hospital 7 years ago
Many thanks for your positive comments and apologies that you felt rushed into going home after operation. Patient's feedback is essential to the Trust in order for us to improve our services for all our users.
Your comments will be passed on to the day case unit where we hope the staff members will be recognised. It is always encouraging for staff to have positive feedback and is a boost to morale.

Phew….this has been a crazy time. For someone who just works at home making cute little diy things, has kids and cleans….i sure have been busy. Probably doesn't help that it's the end of the school year and things always get crazy around the end of the year. I have been getting orders done here and there and have recently finished my second book…..currently being edited….this is the worst part lol.
This first project was a baby car set cover. She wanted one that had sheep on it! Ask and I will do it.
This little guy is the cover to my second book! I am so excited.
A few friends and I are getting together and working on Baby shower gift baskets. This is a work in progress needless to say. They are going to be able to be custom ordered with items from 4 of us.
We have one girl who makes the softest blankets, burp rags and she is working on a few new items.
Another makes personalized onsies and funny shelf sitters.
Another friend sells young living items that are chemical free baby items.
Lastly me. I work on all the crochet items. Pictured is my baby teether toy, stuffed animal and basket.
There are going to be so many things for you to choose from to make your basket one of a kind I just can't wait to show all of you! Stay tuned or contact me today with any questions you have.
These are not up for sale yet but we can begin to take orders. These will be made to order so make sure you give us a few weeks notice.
My name frames. These I absolutely love. The frame on the right I bought and added the name and the frame on the left I made. These were both a special order from a friend. Thank you to all who support RainyDayComforts on Etsy and Facebook
This is yet another Order!!! I am currently working on a bulk order for Christmas. Yep you heard right. 6 different stuffed animals for all 6 grand babies. This one is number 2 of 6. I can't wait to get these all done and delivered.
Finally, this was a little something i felt my bathroom needed. I got so tired of seeing that ugly tissue box in my bathroom and honestly I HATE those tissue box covers. So here we are.
I am done….we writing for the moment. With so much going on sometimes I feel like I am non-stop while other times I feel like all I do is sit around all day. Any other stay at home moms feel that way? The good news….i got most of my house scrubbed this week, and all of these projects done. The other news….haven't figured out if its good or bad….the girls will be out of school soon and we will be even busier!

For several years now I have been addicted to fish tacos. They are one of my favorite things. Normally, I gravitate more toward the beer-battered variety. (I have an excellent recipe that I will share soon.) I had picked out this recipe to make while we were on vacation because I thought it would be a quick and easy meal. I also liked that I could take the seasoning with me and the other items needed would go well with other meals we had planned. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Apparently, everyone else decided to take advantage of the fresh seafood at the beach. When we ran the the grocery store to pick up some fish, the store was completely empty. Oh well…you have to be flexible when on vacation.
When we got home, I decided to go ahead and make these. They were outstanding. I think they give my beer-battered ones a run for their money in terms of taste. Honestly, I can see myself making these more often because they are much better for us. We used tilapia because it is a very mild fish and a favorite, but feel free to try some other varieties (halibut or cod would work as well). The sauce on top is a must. It is delicious and really brings on some great flavors. I would have loved to have had these with some locally caught fish while at the beach, but the tilapia from my freezer turned out really well. I hope you give them a try.
Cilantro-Lime Marinated Fish Tacos
Printer Friendly Recipe
For the fish:
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
¼ teaspoon cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 lb. white fish (tilapia, halibut, or cod)
6-inch flour or corn tortillas (We are a divided family. I prefer the corn but the boys prefer flour.)
For the cilantro cream sauce:
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
6 oz. greek yogurt or sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
Pepper, to taste
Combine the lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, cilantro, cumin, and garlic in a shallow dish or pie plate, whisking together until well blended. Add the fish to the mixture, turning to coat. Let marinate 15-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the cilantro cream sauce. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, cilantro, greek yogurt, garlic and pepper. Stir until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
After the fish has had time to marinate, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the fish in the pan and cook without disturbing for 3 minutes. Turn the fish over and cook on the second side 2-3 minutes more. Remove to a plate, season with salt as desired, and let rest for a few minutes. Take two forks and shred the fish into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble tacos on flour or corn tortillas with shredded fish, cilantro cream sauce and toppings as desired. Some of our favorites are: shredded cabbage (or lettuce), chopped green onions, and chopped tomatoes.

Uterine fibroids - Follow up control
All the patients will receive our phone call next morning, one week, one month and three months after the procedure and all of them have our M.B. phone. It is very important for the patients to have the possibility of our contact any time they need.
The follow up control is performed by Magnetic Resonance at 6, 18 and 36 months, by questionnaires at that time and by clinical observation.
Every treated patient should have a gynaecologist consultation once a year.
Fig. 1 – Pelvic Magnetic Resonance
a – Before embolization. The fibroid (arrow) is white, because it has blood.
b – (6 Months), c – (12 Months) after embolization: Reduction in size and black colour due to ischemia, absence of blood, over 90% (lack of blood).
Fig. 2) Pelvic Magnetic Resonance
a, b) Myoma (arrows), diameters: 12.7, 12.9 and 7.37 cm white due to blood vessels, before embolization.
c, d) Six Months after embolization, black due to ischemia (lack of blood vessels, diameters 1.7, 1.9 and 0.3 cm).
Fig. 3) Pelvic Magnetic Resonance
a) Two myomas (arrows) – white due to blood vessels.
b) (6 months), c (12 months) – after embolization: decreased in size and black due to ischemia (lack of blood vessels).

2nd fff as host
this flash fiction friday's trigger was an inclusion clause and i wasn't sure i would make with the packing+moving+grims-stress, but this week we have multiple entries (big up everybody who wrote something this week and our trigger-contributor; doh forget to send trigger suggestions for friday coming) so i couldn't lapse. we even have at least one fff written directly into the comments on the trigger post (abovelinked) so make sure you check it out. and participants without blogs, remember if you want constructive feedback you have to post somewhere public for others participants to read...
this is me, including the words crumb, bum, thumb, rum, dumb:
"i hear at the end of the scrimmage, one man thumb was knuckle-deep in some nex' man bottom, horse…"
"tellin' yuh, dread, i doh business with dem ting at all."
that thought settled their excitable chatter into appalled silence as they continued walking to the end of the island, holding ground at the very tip of the longest finger of sandy grass and scrub, toes almost in the sea. she giggled to herself, trying to remember how they came to that topic, her random thought associations making her realise she was very probably drunk – but that was the point of rum punch, right? she giggled again at the persistent image of a grassy finger of land tickling an unsuspecting rugby player's bum.
he raised eyebrows in her direction, but didn't ask, guessing it would make little sense – he'd been drinking considerably longer and didn't think he had the energy to make sense of a semi-drunk's amusement.
they stood still, civilisation at their backs, the whole starry world spread ahead of them, silence shifting from appalled to awed, broken only by the occasional giggle. eventually he dug in his pocket and pulled out a not-quite-cube-shaped bit of foil somewhat worse off for having been squished in there during the night's journey. she smiled and took the sticky foil package.
"for you. i wanted to get high and stay high whole weekend and not think about...stuff...so i made brownies with some of the bag i bought to smoke. you could save that one for when you go home if you want, we have more back in the tent. for right now…"
he reached into his pocket again and retrieved a bent and battered white stick, tiny brown crumbs clinging to it. he cursed happily, licking crumbs from his fingertips.
"yeah…maybe demonstrating tackling techniques with food and smoke in my pocket was a little dumb. next time you holding since you have a handbag…"
she nodded agreement, stashed her foil and produced a lighter from said handbag, and took the proffered spliff. she put it between her lips, set her drink down and lit up as she sat on the edge of the island, kicking off her slippers and stretching her feet toward the dark water. she patted the ground next to her as she looked back at him, then held out the burning spliff.
"come, sit, doh think about stuff. you doh need she anyway. you have me, you have rum, you have grass, you have as much of eternity as you stick around for in this amazing place…"
he took a long drag and held it, staring out into the milky way, trying not to wonder where in the galaxy or which new galaxy the being he'd thought was his woman had disappeared to.
walk good.

A highly determined ride from Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) at the Pirelli Aragón Round on Sunday saw the Welshman get his first win of 2017, with Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team) and Marco Melandri (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) also on the podium.
WorldSBK Race 2 - in sunny but windy conditions at MotorLand Aragon - went down to the last lap, with Davies making amends for his Race 1 crash as he got the better of World Champion Rea over the last two corners.
The pair dueled for the lead in the final stages, with Davies ultimately crossing the line half a second ahead of Rea, to end the Northern Irishman's five race winning streak. Melandri continued his solid comeback season in third place, around 2.5s back on his victorious teammate.
Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) finished in fourth place, the former World Champion suffering from sickness this weekend in Spain. Sykes finished eight down on the podium positions but got the better of Michael van der Mark (Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team) on the final lap.
Dutchman Van der Mark equaled his best result of the season so far in fifth. There was frustration for his Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team colleague Alex Lowes on lap 11, as a mistake saw him run off track and drop out of podium contention as he resumed way down the field, having been in fourth before his off-track excursion.
Lowes had started Race 2 at the front of the grid and he had held the lead for several laps. The Englishman eventually finished 13th.
Xavi Fores (BARNI Racing Team) recovered from the drama of his Saturday DNF, which saw his race end with his Ducati in flames, finishing Sunday's contest as the top Spanish rider in sixth – just under two seconds ahead of compatriot Jordi Torres (Althea BMW Racing Team).
Leandro Mercado (IODARacing), Eugene Laverty (Milwaukee Aprilia) and Leon Camier (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) completed the top ten.
Nicky Hayden (Red Bull Honda World Superbike Team) suffered a DNF due to a technical problem, whilst Alex De Angelis (Pedercini Racing SC-Project) crashed out at the end of lap 15.
The WorldSKB grid will be back in action at the Acerbis Dutch Round over the 28th-30th April weekend.

While the holiday season typically brings a number of invitations to the mailbox, a longtime Weston resident recently received an extraordinary one she was eager to accept.
While the holiday season typically brings a number of invitations to the mailbox, a longtime Weston resident recently received an extraordinary one she was eager to accept.
Wendy Kaplan Armour, a 30-year Weston resident who teaches criminal practice and trial advocacy at Boston University's Law School, got an invitation from one of her former students to travel to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.
"Navy Cmdr. Suzanne Lachelier, who was in my defender program while at BU, is currently handling two detainee cases as a defense counsel at Guantanamo," Armour said. "Last summer, she asked me and another colleague of mine at BU Law to assemble a team of students to research various legal questions for her defense team."
For three days in November, Armour and her BU colleague David Rossman immersed themselves in the intricacies of military law - and in the bigger picture, a piece of American history.
"I'm not an expert on military law, so I've learned a lot in the past few months," Armour said.
An introduction to their undertaking began at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, where Armour and Rossman boarded a C-130 transport plane.
"It's below coach-level travel," she said with a laugh. "You sit on a canvas bench, strap in, and lean against orange safety netting for the duration of the flight."
While at Guantanamo, Armour and Rossman spent a lot of time helping attorneys prepare for pre-trial hearings with military judges. They also had the opportunity to observe hearings.
"We weren't at counsel table, but as legal consultants, we sat through hearings, took notes and debriefed after," Armour said.
The hearings centered around one of Cmdr. Lachelier's clients, a Sudanese citizen, who is hoping to add a Sudanese human rights lawyer to his defense team.
"Interestingly, Cmdr. Lachelier had found this Sudanese lawyer over the summer and arranged for him to obtain a visa and come down to Guantanamo," Armour said. "So one of the pretrial motions we observed concerned whether this lawyer can be appointed to the defense team, per the Geneva Conventions."
A decision is still pending.
"We departed Cuba with a whole series of additional research projects to support another set of motions and requests being handled by Cmdr. Lachelier and her team," Armour said.
Armour's work left quite an impression. "I have tremendous admiration for all defense counsel who work on these detainee cases," she said. "It's hard enough being a criminal defense attorney in everyday society, but it's absolutely arduous doing it in context of Guantanamo."
Armour, who serves as chairwoman of Weston's Zoning Board, offered her take on the future of the Guantanamo Bay detention center, where the Unites States is holding suspected terrorists and combatants.
"My guess is that very few detainees will face a trial, and I hope President-elect Obama shuts it down," she said. "But it's not going to be shut down overnight. The new administration is going to have to review the files and evidence for the approximately 250 detainees currently there."

At Cranbrook our vision is to be a world class school which encourages and enables all of our students to explore, enjoy and fulfil their potential. We lead our students to discover and make the most of their talents, give of their best and thrive in and love the pursuit of excellence.
As a school we energise the educational environment by offering a rich and distinctive schooling both within and beyond the curriculum and give powerful pastoral support. We uphold the character of our Anglican foundation in order to promote the moral and spiritual development of each student and foster the principles of service.
Cranbrook builds resilience and confidence so that each student can face the challenges of the twenty-first century with personal confidence, intellectual versatility, academic hunger and optimism. We inspire and support them to respect the integrity of differences, lead adventurous, courageous and generous lives contributing to the betterment of society.
Cranbrooks House System is one of the Schools greatest strengths designed to promote an environment in which students feel known, valued, engaged and purposeful. The Houses form the structure through which the School provides individualised care, personal guidance and character development for each student. Our two small Boarding Houses promote a close, family-like environment so boys feel confident and secure, and our strong academic programmes support them to extend the boundaries of their learning.
As a school we have raised the bar, expanded every boys academic horizons to ensure that breadth and balance enrich the pursuit of excellence and thereby cementing the foundations for each boys future success. Set high expectations for young people and, more often than not, they will rise to them. We can all strive for excellence and aim high: through doing so, we broaden our range of experience, we acquire strength of character and self- knowledge and we build a destiny. Cranbrook offers a richness of opportunity and works to identify areas of particular interest so that self-belief can grow. As a school we are committed to preparing our students to flourish within an increasingly competitive environment. We have therefore chosen to enhance our middle school years by delivering the NSW curriculum through the methodology of the IBs Middle Years Programme. We are currently a Candidate School for the MYP and will adopt the MYP in full from January 2018.
Cranbrooks Year 12 College housed in the beautiful historic Cranbrook building is a unique study space for our most senior boys and played an important role in our outstanding HSC 2016 results. The College provides an excellent working environment both within and beyond the School day where boys can work on their own, in quiet study groups or with a tutor utilising their expertise, strengthening their skills and approach to study which will serve them well at university and beyond.
Through the Year 12 College we offer holiday consolidation courses, programmes of talks and lectures enhancing the boys study, maintaining balance and opening their minds to new interests.
The HSC experience is a challenging time that brings considerable pressure. The Year 12 College offers our students an excellent working environment both within and beyond the school day, which will also help prepare them for university. The first year of the Year 12 College undoubtedly played an important role in our outstanding 2014 HSC results.
In the College the boys can work on their own, in quiet study groups or with a tutor utilising their expertise, strengthening their skills and approach to study which will serve them well at university and beyond. The varied individual room layout effectively facilitates concepts of modern collegial learning by Year 12 students.
Throughout the year we offer holiday consolidation courses, talks by leading educationalists and visiting fellows which are designed to strengthen our students intellectual conversation, and enhance the boys study, and open their minds to new interests.
Our 2016 boys achieved outstanding HSC results, receiving 227 merits in total, with 102 students being placed on the Distinguished Achievers List in at least one subject. This year six boys received places in the State for Modern History, Legal Studies, History Extension and Mathematics. In addition, 102 students gained 90 per cent or above in a least one subject placing them on the Distinguished Achievers List indicative of our schools focus on excellence across the curriculum.
Our 2016 boys remarkable achievements reflect our continued focus on academic rigour and creative excellence.
Boarding at Cranbrook offers boys a strong supportive home in an educational environment epitomising creativity and exploration.
On a beautiful campus overlooking Sydney Harbour, boarders enjoy access to expansive sporting grounds, gymnasiums, an indoor pool, and out of hours use of all the academic facilities. Supported by an outstanding boarding academic team, the opportunities for learning beyond the classroom are extensive. Boarding Housemasters live in the two Boarding Houses and provide powerful pastoral support.
Last year Cranbrooks two Boarding Houses underwent a thorough refurbishment resulting in exceptional facilities that meet the demands of growing young men. The culture of our Boarding Houses is not developed simply by the physical space alone but how the space is utilised to integrate, to share, to live together as a family and form deep bonds. They are places where the boys can work, play, and make life-long friendships

One way of being a 'rebel' is writing something other than a novel. Some people write songs, poems, non-fiction, and even picture books. You can set yourself a goal, and whatever you accomplish may be more than you would have otherwise.ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by, Diane!
I'm sharing this with my NaNoWriMo friends. I'll have to check out that rebel link too.ReplyDelete
I was so excited to come across this. And I would have missed it if I hadn't found the link in my analytics.ReplyDelete
I'm always a Nano rebel. Though this year I'm closer to the 'rules' than I've ever been. I'm only writing 4K of the story before Nov. 1st, because I'm sending it to PPW for the contest.

One of the biggest trends in b2b sales and marketing is the transition from inbound marketing only (wide net) to outbound sales and marketing (tight targeting). This trend has resulted in a sharp increase in outbound sales development. Outbound sales development is working but imagine if marketing and the entire organization supported these targeted efforts. That is Account Based Marketing (ABM). Here is an opportunity to learn more. The video below is from an eCornell video panel on Account Based Marketing with myself, Jon Miller (Founder of Engagio) and Maria Pergolino (VP of Marketing from Apttus). I think that it turned out great. I hope you enjoy.

Anne Garcia, Senior Campaign Manager
Q. We recently launched an Affiliate Marketing Program but are having challenges recruiting affiliates. Any suggestion on how to find valuable affiliate partners to promote our products/services?
A. Affiliate recruitment should be an ongoing task of your affiliate program management and should not only be done when you launch a new program. That being said, here are a few ways that you can continually recruit affiliates to your program:
One last thing – don't dwell on the number of active affiliates in your program. Focus on the quality of affiliates within your program in order to promote your products/services. Keep active affiliates engaged in your program by sending affiliate newsletters and updating banners and promotions frequently.

The two-time Olympic swimming champion said she laughed at comedians who made jokes at the expense of others, so had no right to expect special treatment.
Frankie Boyle joked on television that Adlington "looks pretty weird... like someone who's looking at themselves in the back of a spoon".
The remark on BBC Two satirical show Mock The Week, made in 2008, earned a reprimand from the BBC Trust who branded it "humiliating" and "offensive".
Adlington went on to make a formal complaint through her agent, arguing that the reprimand was nothing more than "a slap on the wrist".
Reflecting on the incident now she said: "It's obviously not the nicest thing but he's a comedian, isn't he? Comedians make jokes.
"I cannot say I don't laugh when a comedian tells a joke about someone else. So it would be hypocritical to turn round and say you can't joke about me."
However, the 22-year-old said there was an element of sexism in the joke. "It's hard for a woman. A woman has to deal with it - and that's never easy," she said.
"A guy doesn't get comments on his weight or his looks. They just don't care, guys, do they?
"But for women it is difficult because we get criticised for our weight or how we look. It's just how it is.
"I've chosen to ignore it now and I just want people to judge me on the swimming. I'm not trying to be anything else. If I was trying to get on to TV then maybe I could be judged that way. But if only one person says something nasty it's kind of irrelevant."
Adlington won two gold medals at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and is currently training for London 2012.
She said: "After Beijing my mum and dad used to say to me, 'Oh, Becks, try to be a little bit posher - or maybe don't swear or maybe don't do that'. I said, 'Mum, I do swear. I do sound as if I come from Mansfield'.
"Why should I deny that? People can judge me as they like."

Horncastle Otters Swimming Club have collected a donation of £500.
Last Thursday, to a background of somewhat damp fireworks exploding outside, members of Olive Union Lodge were at the Horncastle Masonic Hall when Worshipful Master Robin Eke presented a cheque to Jane Morley and John Fearon of the Otters.
The cash will be put towards the club's focus of helping the young gain confidence in the pool.
The Olive Union Lodge is one of 74 lodges within Lincolnshire able to apply to the Lincolnshire Masonic Benevolent Fund each year for monies to help a local non-Masonic charity or good cause.
This year, £70,000 was available to Lincolnshire Lodges and the members of Olive Union Lodge applied for, and were granted, £500 for donation to Otters Swimming Club.
They thanked Jane and John for the time that they and other Otters instructors give freely to teach and hoped that the donation would help Otters in their continued efforts to encourage local children to swim safely.
Jane thanked the Worshipful Master and members of the Lodge and assured them that the money would help towards the cost of qualifying new instructors and purchasing bright new teaching aids which are needed.

55 Pitfield Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Located in the north London inner-city district of Hoxton. Opened on 20th January 1914, this never had a specific 'name' and was always known as the Cinema. The architects were Lovegrove and Papworth.
Initially an independent cinema, it was taken over first by the Hyams Circuit. From March 1928 Denman/Gaumont British Theatres were the operaters.
It was closed during the height of the Blitz, and re-opened 23rd February 1941. It closed finally on 26th October 1956, one of the cinemas in the first wave of mass closures by the Rank Organisation due to the effects of TV.
The building was sold off by the Rank Organisation in June 1960 and it became used as a meat packers, later a delicatessen importers and wholesalers and an artists studio.
After laying empty for several years it was announced in 2004 that plans were being proposed to re-open the Cinema as a community cinema and workshop with a possible four screens.
After much delay, work got underway in 2009. Unfortunately, the plans had been revised and the auditorium was demolished in May 2009. The facade has been preserved and a new 4-screen cinema will be built behind it. Architects for the new-build are Waugh Thistleton Architects Ltd. The plans never got off the ground and the façade remained for several years, supported by scaffold. It was demolished in the spring of 2016 and plans are for the Curzon Cinemas chain to rent a new 4-screen arthouse cinema in the basement of a new apartment block, which will have a replica of the façade.

Hi Ken and co,
herewith a recent link about final re-opening: I missed the London News programme during this week, but believe it to be accurate via mypartner Katie.
Kev P
Soon to be reopened by the lovely peope who run the nearby Genesis Mile End.
This will be called the Genesis Hoxton.
The following email message went out to people on the Genesis Cinemas database on August 18th…
Genesis will be on BBC London news on BBC1 tonight around 6.30pm with a
report about its latest venture the new Genesis Hoxton cinema.
The cinema is situated on Pitfield St right next to Hoxton square and Old St
and is due to open sometime within the next 18 months. The report tonight
from outside Genesis Whitechapel will have insight into the new project and
comments about the benefits it'll give to you the Genesis customer. More
screens, more choice, more movies!
There does not seem to be much happening at the Hoxton Cinema as these pictures from October 2007 show:–
anyone know when this cinema is due to reopen? it's just around the corner from me!
Looks like Curzon is moving into the space next year, following the demise of the reconstruction efforts and original facade!
Will be opening as a three screen Curzon Hoxton in early 2018.
Just login to your account and subscribe to this theater

Suddenly my scanner decided to operate so managed to scan some before it decided to fail me again
Pasar Bisk…… in malay or Whisper(ing) Market in English, are two fish markets on the banks of the Muda river on the border of Penang and Kedah. The one in Penang is reachable by public transport, as I saw a Rapid Penang bus plying the route, #603 if I am not mistaken, while the one in Kedah you do require your own transport as it is just a small fishing village.
1. The fishermen arrives on the riverbanks, either one of them or a friend on shore will bring the catch to the "market" and lay the catch on the floor.
2. The bidding starts with interested parties whispering the offered price to the fisherman/friend. Nobody actually knows what the others is bidding.
3. The fisherman decides who wins and transaction is done…… if he is not happy he may take the catch back to the boat and go to the other side of the river….. and if their collection is not enough, they may go back to sea.
As you can see, the catch sold is by the basket, if you feel it is too much, you may approach the fishermen directly with a plastic bag. I bought a bag full which cost me RM8.00 or about USD2.60, and got about 5-6 kilogram of mackerel, which will usually get me a kilogram at the supermarket that we usually go.
And did I say, there is another one right across the river?………. let's see if my scanner will give another good night tomorrow.

Tony Posawatz Joins Momentum Dynamics
Wireless electric car charging stands to make fueling your vehicle a thing of the past, and Momentum Dynamics is one of the leaders in wireless EV charging technology. To help bolster their public profile and commercialize their cutting-edge technology, Momentum Dynamics named former GM executive and Vehicle Line Director for the Chevy Volt Tony Posawatz to the Technology Advisory Board.
"We are delighted Tony will be joining Momentum Dynamics," said Momentum Dynamics CEO Andy Daga. "His experience and reputation in product innovation, planning and strategy, program management, corporate finance, and extensive knowledge of the automotive industry will provide MD a unique perspective and advantage as we commercialize our technology with our strategic partners."
Back in October, Momentum Dynamics announced that it was ready to begin the commercialization process of its high-power inductive charging system. This wireless charging technology uses magnets to transfer power between the charger and EV without any physical connection, eliminating our traditional notion of "refueling" entirely. Naturally, the first car Momentum applied this tech to was the Chevy Volt.
The system is designed to deliver energy through ice, snow, or water, and the entire charging process can be completed automatically. Momentum is focusing on the commercial application of its technology, with a pair of E-450 electric buses serving as a testbed in Pennsylvania. Momentum also claims it can reduce traditional charging times by as much as 75%, one of the main complaints consumers have regarding EVs.
Momentum Dynamics wants to make 2014 a big year, and wireless charging is set to be big business in just a few more years. With Posawatz on board, hopefully Momentum Dynamics can bring its technology to market as soon as it hopes.
This post was sponsored by Momentum Dynamics.

As far as summer jobs go, this one doesn't sound bad: Find a friend, a car and a sunny day and take pictures of Seattle streets for an online photo mapping site.
Boston-based EveryScape is looking to hire two "destination ambassadors" to kick off its effort to map the city — inside and out.
Like Google's popular Street View, EveryScape charts cities in pictures, blending still shots of streets and buildings into a kind of virtual, visual tour — with one key difference.
"Google will drop you off at the door," said Rebecca MacQuarrie, the company's director of marketing. "We'll take you inside."
EveryScape's Boston site features virtual tours of dozens of local businesses, from hotels and restaurants to retail stores. The company is live with similar or growing content in 25 cities, MacQuarrie said, and hopes to visually map Seattle's streets — and begin reaching out to its businesses — by fall.
Google StreetView raised privacy concerns when some objected to having been photographed walking on a street and immortalized online — sometimes, oddly. EveryScape gets even more personal, capturing people sitting in restaurants, serving beer and shopping.
MacQuarrie said each business approves the photo shoot and can post the walk-through on its Web site.
"Everybody's responded really positively to it," MacQuarrie said. "Most business owners believe that once a shopper steps through the front door, they're gonna be a return shopper, so this is helping bridge that gap online."
EveryScape also partners with media outlets interested in spiffing up their venue and event listings. In Boston, the company is working on partnerships with Boston.com, nightlife publication Stuff magazine and The Boston Herald, MacQuarrie said.
Interested in the gig? You'll need a car and a Windows-enabled laptop, MacQuarrie said. The company provides the equipment, including the four Canon cameras that will capture the city via automated still shots. Photo and technology experience is a plus, and you get paid by the mile.

Report preparation
Firms, the public administration, and the third sector face daily difficulties that come from making decisions and implementing changes and reforms in their functioning. In these cases, the availability of data may be insufficient, as such data has to be analyzed by experts in order to extract the maximum amount of information and to make the best decisions. At KSNET, the best experts in their fields of study prepare economic reports. The different types of reports we prepare include the following:
- Descriptive data analysis: In these reports, we undertake a rigorous and objective analysis of the data that allows to clearly visualize the information available. An example of this type of report is a comparative analysis at the local, regional, or international level of several variables of interest, such as the existence of innovative management initiatives in large cities, the use of new technologies in classrooms, or the level of public social welfare spending.
- Public sector reports: In these reports, we go beyond a basic description of the available data. These reports can be classified into reports related to the operation of the administration, such as financial plans and cost analyses; reports related to the implementation of operational changes or reforms to improve efficiency, such as cost-saving plans, cost accounting systems, performance-based budgeting or public-private partnerships for the provision of goods and services; reports related to socioeconomic variables, such as sectorial economic analysis; or advisory reports on the design and implementation of public policies based on available scientific evidence or social experimentation.

The Walkmen 9 songs into new album
EmptyDETROIT -- If all goes as planned, the Walkmen will wrap up the recording of their fifth album this month, in time for a spring release.
"We're all really pumped about it," singer/guitarist Hamilton Leithauser tells Billboard.com. "We've written a lot of songs in the past year and really done some editing, which I think is a new move towards maturity for us. If there was stuff we didn't love, we'd just cut it all (out), so I think that's a step in the right direction."
Leithauser says the group has nine songs done and six more to finish for the as-yet-untitled set, for which the band is in the midst of negotiating a new label deal. The album features "a lot more instrumentation" than its predecessors, including trumpet and viola played by the band's Paul Maroon. "It's sort of our sound again," Leithauser explains, "but when you have it with a new instrument you can modify it the slightest bit, which to us sounds completely new."
The Walkmen recorded tracks in New Jersey and Mississippi but have been working primarily in New York. They'll be road-testing some of the new songs on a short run of shows this month, including "Around and Around," "Blue Route" and "I Lost You," the latter of which Leithauser calls the new project's "breakthrough song."
"We wanted to do, like, a big Roy Orbison song that ends with a big (crescendo)," he explains. "We tried a lot of different strings and horn parts and finally found a few that go together. We think it's fantastic. It's, like, power rock."
The album will be the Walkmen's first set of originals since 2006's "A Hundred Miles Off," which was followed later that year by the group's remake of Harry Nilsson's 1974 classic "Pussycats."
