Fahad Private Game Farm
Fahad Private Game Farm
Last week we spent 3 days in the Fahad Private Game Farm on the South Africa/Botswana border north of Lephalale (Ellisras). We had no idea what to expect from our trip as we could find very little information about the place apart from what can be found on their website.
The reservation procedure was a little sloppy as on our day of arrival we still did not have a correct booking confirmation. We received one fairly quickly, however, it had the wrong dates on it. We did phone and confirm and they said we were in fact booked in on the correct dates. It was not the easiest to get hold of them via the phone, however, they did return calls fairly promptly.
Fahad boasts exclusivity in that when you book in to one of their lodges, you are the only guests there. Our lodge, Twin Rivers, could sleep 10 people and at only ZAR420.00 per person per night (self-catering), we couldn't understand how much money could be made on their part.
We called before to ask about arriving early, we hadn't seen anything about check-in/out times and wanted to get there between 08:00 and 09:00 on Thursday morning. They had no problem with this at all so early Thursday morning we left for our three and a half hour drive. Once we reached Lephalale we had cellphone signal for the first time in a while and Jenece saw Julius, our contact person at Fahad, had tried to call. She called back and after speaking to him had new directions for us to get there, and he was just asking what our ETA was so he could meet us at the gate.
We followed his directions which included roughly 20km of well-maintained dirt road to arrive at a large gate in what I'd call the middle of nowhere to find him waiting for us. After brief and very warm introductions Julius let us in and escorted us to the Twin Rivers Lodge. The drive was short but we got to see the dam on the Mogolo River which turned out to be 300 meters from our Lodge. Still with no idea what to expect, we were a little nervous.
Arriving at the lodge saw our spirits lifted high. Very well maintained grounds and larger than we expected, with beautiful bush decor, we were now very happy to be there. We parked under the wattle carport reserved for guests and Julius showed us around the camp. Dining area and lounge on an elevated wooden deck with superb furniture. Soft leather couches, side tables, TV with full DSTV bouquet, large dark wood dining table and probably the biggest fireplace I have ever seen.
Outside the dining area was a small swimming pool which we were very happy to see as, that early in the morning, the temperature was already climbing steeply. On the grass were two of the most comfortable garden chairs…in the world! The arm rests would swing out so you can rest your feet, lying back and reading in the shade of an Acacia and overlooking the pool.
From there he took us to Chalet 1 which they had prepared for us due to the accessibility of all the amenities. It was a twin sleeper with the two single beds pushed together for us as a couple. The aircon was pumping cold air into the room to keep it well below the thirty plus degree temperature outside. Bushveld décor scattered around the room was very pleasing to the eye and not over the top. The room was spacious and had everything we'd need, a dressing table with mirror, side chair, end tables with lamps and drawers, wardrobe and jacket stand. The en-suite bathroom had a shower, toilet and wash basin and all with good water pressure and again, bush-veld trinkets scattered around nicely.
From there we were led to the communal bar, kitchen and braai area. Not only did the area look stunning but to say it was fully equipped was a gross understatement. The kitchen had utensils I never knew existed, never mind how to use. Six plate gas stove with oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, two bar fridges and many cupboards all packed with useful things. This was open to the outdoors, overlooking the pool and braai area however with a roof that would not allow the rain to get anywhere near us. Behind a closed door was a large freezer, fridge, ice maker, washup area, walk-in fridge and pantry (which was fully stocked with yet more cooking utensils including potjie pots).
We signed the registration form and we were asked please not to drive around the park, we were welcome to walk wherever we wanted but to please take the camp two-way radio with us when we did. We arranged for a game drive that evening and Julius was on his way.
We went for a walk along one of the park roads which took us adjacent to the Limpopo River and headed back for a much needed swim. When we came out of the chalet, two towels each had been put on the deck chairs overlooking the pool for us to use. A very nice and unexpected touch. We spent the rest of the afternoon lounging around the pool (both in and out of the water) until it was time for our game drive.
Julius arrived around 17:00, gave us the safety briefing and we were off. It was a pleasant drive, around two hours long, and we barely covered a fraction of the park. We stopped off at the Tree House, somewhere they are refurbishing and hope to open for reservations again. It is located in a nearly 1,000 year old Leadwood Tree and has three areas. On the ground is the kitchen and firepit, next level is the bathroom and on top, a deck with a bedroom. The deck overlooks the Limpopo River and into Botswana while the bedroom has floor to ceiling windows all around. The vegetation is quite thick at this time of year but the view was still amazing and I can imagine it is even better in winter. There were no furnishings when we went due to the refurbishment.
Returning from our drive, we discovered the grounds keeper had not only stacked more wood than we'll ever use but also lit a fire for us in the pit. The evening was very pleasant, we had a braai next to the firepit, worked out how to use all the lights around the area so as to see any bugs sneaking up on us and even got to see a Lesser-Spotted Genet walking along the edge of the camp.
The following day was an active one for us, early game drive, 2 hours on quad bikes, another walk and we were supposed to do a cruise down the Limpopo but sadly that was rained off. We did it the next morning instead.
On that morning drive we had an inkling as to just how big Fahad really is. We drove for over an hour to get onto the one hill in the whole area and the view was breathtaking. We could see for miles and miles in all directions. We stopped for a break, chat and photos and then took a different route back to camp where we spotted a large chameleon and more Gemsbok (Oryx) than I've ever seen in one place.
Fahad has a Sable Antelope breeding project but unfortunately we didn't get the chance to enter any of the camps.
The two hours on the quads were amazing. 330cc bikes and many kilometres of game roads to travel. We were dropped off at reception, given the bikes and a suggested route to take along the Limpopo to get back to our camp where we could leave the quads for pick-up. Unfortunately this didn't go according to plan as the suggested route was laden with puddles and mud. The quad I was given was a 4×4 and made short work of most things, however Jenece's 4×2, after getting stuck and taking about 20 minutes to get out (in the pouring rain) ensured we took another route.
The following morning, Julius was there to meet us for the cruise and off we went. The cruise only took an hour but what a pleasant trip. We saw so many birds but unfortunately none of the resident crocs or hippos. We did have a rare sighting of the Red-Headed Weaver which was a treat.
Back at camp we packed and waited for Julius to arrive and escort us out. We paid for our extra activities (which are not included in the accommodation price) and were on our way to Marakele for a night of camping before heading home.
In total we had three game drives, 2 hours on the quad bikes and a river cruise and that totalled ZAR800.00 for the both of us. An amount hardly worth mentioning.
I could write for hours on our trip to Fahad, in this article I have barely scratched the surface. It was an incredible experience for both of us and we cant wait to get back there. Game spotting was a little scarce, however this is again due to the time of year and all the standing water spreading the game out. Having said that, we did see quite a bit, including rare sightings (for us anyway). The Genet, Gemsbok, Red-Headed Weaver on our cruise, chameleon, Monitor Lizard and others I cant quite think of off the top of my head. Fahad does have resident Cheetah and Brown Hyena but we weren't lucky enough to see them.
The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable and would accommodate us, whatever we wanted. The farm is beautiful and remote (a good thing in my books) and while we were there, the only other vehicle we saw was the bakkie dropping off our firewood and the guests in another lodge when we took a wrong turn on the quads. The housekeeping and grounds staff were always doing things in the background so you hardly knew they were there. An example being turning my back after breakfast one morning to discover they'd cleaned my skottle for me, and washed my car mere minutes before we departed.
To the staff of Fahad, and especially to Julius, I would like to say thank you for an amazing and memorable experience. We will certainly be back and cant wait until then. Thank you for your attention to customer relations and satisfaction, we really appreciate it.

Package: grub-installer Severity: wishlist (originally sent by Alex to the -boot list. As I find this an interesting suggestion, I turn this into a wishlist bug against grub-installer) Observed with today's debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso. (Testing with a sid installer) The debian installer allows the user to enter a password for GRUB to access advanced features. If the user does so, the password is included in cleartext in /boot/grub/menu.lst GRUB has the capability to use an md5 hash of a password instead of storing the password. These are generated with the grub command md5crypt. For example, to generate a md5 hash of the password "foobar" (no quotes): echo -e "md5crypt\nfoobar" | sudo grub --batch | grep "Encrypted" | sed -e 's/Encrypted: //g' There may be a cleaner way to do this but the above will work. Then, in /boot/grub/menu.lst, where you would write: password foobar instead write (the output from the above command) password --md5 $1$SZmo8$vxbhcjqNC4kHpqZi5n3r81 It is important not to store the password in cleartext for several reasons. Some users (such as myself) may use a password either similar to or identical to the root or user password on the machine for the bootloader. I boot to an encrypted root, but of course /boot is on an unencrypted volume so the password could be snooped. I understand the rationale that on a normal system, if you have read access to menu.conf then you have write access (eg, by rooting the system) and could just clear the password anyway, but given that GRUB provides such a simple way to use a hash instead I think Debian should implement this. As always, thanks for the wonderful, free operating system. Many of us appreciate your effort (including our entire cluster:-), and my two personal machines) Alex Roper UGCS Sysadmin California Institute of Technology --

i am not dev but yes those vending machines
Dev Blog 144: Soon releasing Alpha 34, beginning work on Alpha 35 and the Airport CEO soundtrack now available!
Only 6 tiles long would work so you could place 2 tiles of wall in the middle.
Well, with the 4X configuration like in the image you can still have a double wall and then, magic, symmetry
I just hope you will open script modding in the future to allow us to create the complixity we want in the game like Traffic Manager in CIties Skylines. But the comprmise is ok for the time being.
A few questions on vending machines:
- How many/what kinds will there be, will there be other than just food (ie. Electronics?)
- Will they have to be restocked, or are they infinite in their comforts?
- Will you sign a contract with a vendor for the vending machines?
- Will there be sound effects
Anyways, super excited for the update!
I just realised that while this solution works for jetways, it wont for ground level walk out to the plane and for remote stands. Is there an ability to create a gate door 4 wide that pax will only access on the right as they walk towards it. If so then we could do the same thing for pax arriving by bus or airstairs.
I usually have my departing passengers on the 1st floor with a set of stairs to the a door on ground to the bus stop or airside. I have my arriving passengers just come in at ground and then collect baggage on the ground floor and they very really mix
…or, as someone has proposed, have the possibility to have different bus stops for inbound and outbound.
Maybe by marking them as both, depart, arrive (like the runways can be marked).
Edit: Found the idea here One way roads and bus stops for arrival and departure
Thanks for the detailed explanation and also for the Compromise! It archives but most of what i want to accomplish, on question and maybe an idea for the compromise; would it be possible that non-arriving passengers be banned from the baggage claim zone? That is the only thing the compromise as i understod it doesent solve
Just wondering how large your baggage claim zones are that you feel the need to ban people from it.
Mine are just a one tile around the belt and nobody without business there wants to go there…
Don't know where else to put this, so feel free to move it if you find a better place for it.
I just had to interrupt playing and put the game on pause. after one hour I came back and the computer was still on, did not went to standby mode, something that always disturbs me in other games that always go to standby when you just watch. Finally some devs who know how to prevent windows from sleeping and how to let a game run in "background" when you alt-tab to a different app (like I do now when I write this).
If baggage claim areas can be placed in secure zones, I'm guessing the existing security exits will divide arriving and non-arriving passengers?
Not 100%, departing passengers could still go there after security checkpoint.
Will probably depend on pathfinding. I usually like to build toilets and vending machines (currently shops/restaurants because the machines are not there yet) at the baggage claim, so departing passengers might come for that. However it should be possible to avoid by having those things at a closer location for departing passengers. Let's just see how it works once it's there.
Good point, but in terms of using only jetways, with passengers segregated, then it should be successfully 'secure' to arriving passengers only, unless I'm missing something.
Refreshing the page for the next dev blog!
You're right, with the separation right from the jetway it would be possible to make it 100% safe, at least for all jetway stands. Good enough for me since I mostly try to avoid remote stands.
I would try them again, the remote stands had a good balancing by the Devs. I'd almost say I prefer them.
Any news about the devblog? Was delayed to Friday in the last update and is Saturday 21:30 (CET) and nothing. My anxiety is very high at the moment.
I don't think we will see it over the weekend… Maybe Monday!
It's up now. The dev blog is about 2000 words so it took a long time to write. Jetway design can be polished in the future, for now we'll work with the 4x1 and might iterate on that in the future. The solution also works without jetways, passengers walking from the aircraft via the stand will have their arrival and departure point separated with the same distance as with jetways so you can easily shiled them off the same way as with jetways!
The solution also works without jetways,
But what about remote stands with apron bus access?
We want a switch on the apron bus stand!

Norman (United States)
- Signature of the twinning agreement: April 18th 1994
- Population: 113,273 inhabitants
- Geographical situation: State of Oklahoma , South-West of the U.S.A
Situated in the State of Oklahoma, Norman has developed an economic activity based on Industry (Computer engineering, aerospace, agribusiness) and the extraction or raw material such as oil, gas and coal.
Oklahoma University (O.U) , which is situated in Norman and welcomes more than 25,000 students, galvanizes the city thanks to numerous artistic representations and several sport meetings (Football, Basket-ball, Athletics) The City has recently been recognized as the "Bicycle Friendly Community" by the American League, and the most progressive city of Oklahoma.
An amazing diversity of activities is present all over Oklahoma, such as the Jazz Festival in June, the Medieval Feast in April, the Christmas Parade, and the Chocolate Festival.
Cooperation with the two universities is marked by exchanges at the university and cultural level. Every year, hundreds of Clermont-Ferrand students stay or train at Oklahoma University. O.U Students are welcomed in Clermont-Ferrand in the framework of Summer School. Thanks to the Pole of International Relations, Clermont-Ferrand Regional Music School and Norman Music School became closer and have developed students and professors exchanges.
In the Framework of Communication and cultural cooperation between the two cities, exchanges of exhibitions are regularly organized. As an example, the exhibition "nos Ancêtres les Gaulois" was presented in Norman and in other important cities in the USA, with the Support of the United States Embassy.
Finally, to mark good relationships between the two cities, Norman Square was inaugurated in Clermont-Ferrand.

Expedition to Undermountain
Halaster Blackcloak
The Mad Mage
Wizard 25/Archmage 5
In his youth more than a thousand years ago, Halaster Blackcloak was known as Hilather, though where he spent his youth is the source of great speculation. Some sources place him in the ancient Imaskari Empire. Whatever his nation of origin, it is known that he was more gregarious as a young man, creating and hosting magefairs and spellmoots, and taking many apprentices. However, as his power grew, he became more interested in aberrations and the Outer Planes, which led to growing paranoia and viciousness. In 168 DR Hilather, now calling himself Halaster Blackcloak, arrived at the foot of Mount Waterdeep with his apprentices, called "The Seven". Halaster summoned demons and other outsiders to construct Halaster's Hold and claimed the nearby lands as his own. Most likely he chose the location because of Sargauth Enclave, an abandoned Netherese outpost buried deep beneath the surface.
Halaster refused to release the monsters and demons after they constructed his Hold, instead sending them into the caverns to explore. This began Halaster's Hunts, a long series of journeys into the area now called the Underhalls, driving out the drow, duergar, and various monsters that lived there. By 309 DR Halaster had complete control over the near-endless tunnels and caverns and began constructing the largest and most deadly dungeon imaginable, Undermountain.
By now, Halaster had become completely mad and wanted nothing to do with the outside world. He left his hold to live in Undermountain itself, allowing the keep to fall into ruin. Several of his apprentices came looking for him; he slew two before demanding the rest help him fortify his dungeon even more. One refused and managed to escape. Jhesiyra Kestellharp would later become Magister and would provide what little history there is about Halaster, the Mad Mage.
While the term ""/campaign/call-of-the-mad-mage/wikis/halasters-heirs" class="wiki-page-link"> Halaster's Heirs" formerly referred to the surviving apprentices of Halaster, it currently refers to an arcanist academy on the Dungeon Level of Undermountain formed by Trobriand the Metal Mage and Murial the Misshapen.
Shortly after dawn on Eleint 30, 1375 DR, an earthquake struck Waterdeep. Though the city suffered little damage, many people throughout the town saw visions of Halaster screaming, his eyes ablaze with rage, sorrow, and swimming stars. Arcanists who saw the visions also reported scenes of destruction in the vast maze of Undermountain: pillars cracking and crumbling, chasms and rifts opening, and explosions of sparks.
While in Undermountain, Halaster seems constantly distracted, always chuckling and muttering to himself over people and happenings only he can discern. He also has difficulty holding the thread of any conversation.

The record-setting half-brother to world champion Black Caviar was euthanized on humane grounds on Sunday following a months-long battle with the foot injury laminitis, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
The 2-year-old known as "Jimmy" had received treatment from some of the top veterinary surgeons in the nation at the University of Melbourne Equine Centre at Werribee, in an attempt to beat the often-debilitating disease. Handlers had noticed the colt's deteriorating condition on Christmas Eve and by the end of the week Jimmy was unable to get to his feet.
The unraced colt by Redoute's Choice, out of the Desert Sun dam Helsinge, first made headlines as Australia's most expensive racehorse when he was purchased at sale for a record-setting AUS$5 million by the BC3 syndication last April. Since then, an investigation into syndicate's manager Bill Vlahos revealed that the bill for Jimmy's sale had not been paid and AUS$194 million of the syndicate's funds were unaccounted for.
Company records have revealed that Jimmy was insured for at least his purchase price. Inglis Bloodstock, who recently repossessed the famed colt, stands to recoup its AUS$5 million outstanding debt, although it is also responsible for Jimmy's estimated $40,000 in veterinary costs for the past two months.

Special Demonstration Squad
Mystic Seaport preserves maritime skills as well as artifacts. Some of these traditional skills are demonstrated for visitors during the warmer months by the roving Special Demonstration Squad. You may find them aloft, setting square sails; on the water, describing and then demonstrating how a whaleboat was used; on the Village Green, performing the breeches buoy drill used by the U.S. Life-Saving Service; or elsewhere around the grounds.
Often the Squad demonstrates the Dead Horse Ceremony, which was performed on some vessels to celebrate the end of the first month at sea. Since sailors were paid a one-month advance to settle their expenses ashore and outfit themselves before sailing (a sum that was frequently swindled from them), they did not begin to earn money until they had been at sea for a month. If the ship's captain agreed, they might amuse themselves by making a horse figure from canvas scraps and celebrate in a procession and song before hoisting the "dead horse" aloft and cutting it free to symbolize the end of their debt.

Guwahati: In what may be called an effort to damage control, Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said that the Jorhat girl has done nothing wrong by posting her case of eve-teasing on Facebook.
Sarma's remark came after a college girl's Facebook in Jorhat, narrating how she was sexually harassed last week by motorcycle-borne youths, sparked protests across the state.
Clarifying that his government was not opposed to the idea of posting anything against the government on social media, Sarma said, "We have simply requested the people to inform such incidents to police also. Police failed to take note of the Facebook posts of the girl and by the time it came to their notice, the accused had sufficient time to escape."
Earlier, Parliamentary affairs minister Chandra Mohan Patowary had ridiculed the girl, who was an activist of the Left-wing Students' Federation of India (SFI), for making her ordeal public on social media, instead of seeking police help and.
A day after Patowary's remark, Tezpur's BJP MP R P Sharma also had advocated that such incidents should be reported to police instead of taking it up on social media.
The remarks of Patowary and Sharma had sparked angry reactions with many asking for the resignation of the minister.
In an obvious attempt to pacify the storm, Sarma on Thursday stepped in and clarified that they can't snatch away the rights of any individual to put forward their grievances on social media.
The Facebook post of the girl has sparked protests across the state with many intellectuals extending their support to the girl for raising her voice against it.
Sahitya Akademi winner Nirupama Borgohain lauded the girl's courage for bringing the issue on public domain in the interest of others, risking her own security.
An IPS officer Sanjukta Parashar, a former superintendent of police in Jorhat, also wrote a Facebook post supporting the girl going public with her ordeal.
"She has expressed herself quite clearly; the pain and the anguish of being sexually assaulted, the trauma of feeling lonely, and the frustration at the inability to get help. Her words are a cry for justice, a cry for putting an end to such heinous acts by men. It becomes very easy for a woman to blame herself as the society tries to instil such thoughts in us from childhood," she wrote.
Referring to a tasteless comment made by the Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker Kodela Shiva Prasad, Parashar said, "We won't be parked cars, we as capable and competent women, will go to schools and colleges, to markets and to our jobs. We are not to blame, our clothes are not at fault, we won't apologise for being women."...

I've been a chronic paranoid worrier most of my life and this week I discovered a couple of things I want to share with you about combating worry, fear, and anxiety.
On Saturday, we moved our Oracle e-Business Suite (hardware, software, and data) from our corporate server room to a data center thirty miles away. We dismounted 5 high-end HP Linux servers and an HP SAN, put them in my van, drove them thirty miles, and reassembled them in the new data center. The VP of Information Services made the decision to move our Oracle instances to the new data center because it has multiple power sources, sits on several fat bandwidth pipes, and has state of the art security and fire protection. It was a great decision that added value to our company.
But putting millions of dollars worth of data, software, and hardware in my van and hurling it down the freeway at sixty miles per hour seemed like a huge risk. In the days preceding the move – I had the feeling I get just before I speak to a large group, the sweaty palms, the shakes, and a knotted stomach. I imagined different disaster scenarios: Car accidents, fires, theft, etc.
I repeatedly told myself, "Don't be silly. Nothing will happen. Everything will be fine", but those thoughts didn't relieve my worry and anxiety.
Then I thought, "Sure an accident may happen, but we have verified backups so we can recover from a disaster. It might take a couple of days, but we can recover." This thought didn't help either; the anxiety was still there.
Then this thought occurred to me – I drive my family around in the van without fear, worry, or anxiety. An accident could kill or maim any one of us. Then I asked myself this question – If I am not afraid of losing my family, why am I afraid of losing a bunch of hardware, software, and data that can easily be replaced?
I pondered that question for a few days and an answer came to me – three hundred employees, the executives, my boss, and the shareholders are counting on us to get this right. If something goes wrong, they may think I am an incompetent boob and that would be a shameful embarrassment. I wasn't afraid of losing the hardware or software, I was afraid of what people would think if I lost it.
Fear of public shame or embarrassment is at the root of many of our disabling irrational fears. Fear of public speaking is the most obvious.
Identifying the root of my worry helped. During the move, I was free from fear and we executed flawlessly. During the planning process, I somehow convinced my sub-conscious that I had nothing to fear, but I don't know exactly how.
The reason I write this stuff is – I intend to transcend fear and I intend for you to transcend fear as well.
Steve Jobs has some good advice:
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
– Steve Jobs at Stanford 2005

Fitch Ratings: Demand Risks Weigh on Global Shipping Sector Outlook
The global shipping sector outlook remains negative reflecting the demand-side risks of protectionism and slower economic growth, Fitch Ratings says. Higher fuel costs and sulphur regulation will also put pressure on shippers.
Partly offsetting an unfavourable environment are emerging signs of better capacity management by shipping companies, which is key to a sustainable balance and freight rates that support consistent profitability. We expect better fundamentals in container and dry bulk, while capacity growth will weigh on tankers.
The key risk to shipping is an escalation of protectionist measures that would damage global trade and GDP growth. Free global trade is vital for shipping development - about 80% of world trade in goods is carried by ships.
More stringent fuel regulations regarding sulphur content could significantly increase operating costs and capex requirements in all shipping segments. This may negatively affect financials unless shippers pass these costs to customers. However, the product tanker market may benefit from these regulations as seaborne trade of low sulphur fuel is likely to increase as a result.
We expect healthy, albeit slower volume growth, in 2019 in container shipping. But supply and demand should be more balanced as fewer new vessels come onto the market. This should provide support to freight rates. Container shipping has become more consolidated with top five players accounting for 63% of the market in 2018 compared to only 31% in 2000, which is beginning to help with coordinated capacity deployment.
We expect freight rates in dry bulk to remain flat on average in 2019 based on balanced volumes and net fleet growth of about 3%. Any escalation of global trade conflicts, especially between the US and China, could affect cargo flows, especially for grains and minor bulk. However, we see the risk of a material reduction of overall demand and rates to be low. This is because commodity trade flows are likely to shift, rather than stop. For example, Chinese tariffs on US grain imports caused an increase in South American exports to China, while US soybeans have been directed to European and Middle Eastern markets.
Potential overcapacity weighs on the tanker sector. We forecast net tanker capacity to grow at about 3%, up from about 1.5% in 2018. The sector may face downside risks from oil demand and supply. US Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts global oil consumption in 2019 to rise 1.4%, down slightly from a 1.5% increase in 2018. The impact of US sanctions on Iranian crude oil exports as well as OPEC's decision on production volumes in December meeting are likely to affect oil supply and, as a result, demand for tankers.

As a part of Cressey Development's ongoing commitment to the community and to celebrate the launch of MThree, Coquitlam's tallest tower, Cressey engaged local high school students by asking them to create a piece of original art that depicted their vision for the 'Future of Coquitlam'. Five finalists were selected, with the grand prize winner being awarded with an additional $2,500 educational grant.
With an overwhelming number of entrants, Cressey looked to Talk Shop to devise a social media strategy that would capitalize on the contest's success by further promoting it online to engage the public and increase their social media presence on their corporate Facebook site.
To further the success of the original Arts Grant initiative, and garner Facebook likes on Cressey's corporate page, Talk Shop created a 'People's Choice Award'. Each of the student's unique art submissions was posted in an album on Cressey's Facebook page and the students were encouraged to promote their piece through their online network.
Voters were required to 'like' Cressey's Facebook page ahead of placing their vote for their favourite piece of art, which was done by liking the photo they thought represented the Future of Coquitlam the most accurately in the People's Choice album.
This online campaign ran for one month, garnering fantastic results in demonstrating Cressey's commitment to the Coquitlam area, while engaging local youth within the community.

SBA small enterprise loans are supplied to start-up businesses by the Small Enterprise Administration or the SBA, to be able to provide them monetary assistance. In rural areas, the first purpose of the USDA Business & Industry loan program is to draw business investment capital, stimulate the native economy, and create jobs. Ever since Congress created the SBA in 1953, this federal agency has helped guarantee thousands and thousands of loans to small and mid-sized businesses, in addition to providing counseling, contracts, and other types of help.
As well as, SBA catastrophe loans have helped more than 1,000,000 owners and renters, and lots of of 1000's of businesses get well and rebuild their lives. SBA Loans are fully underwritten, so only qualified debtors and transactions make it by underwriting, but the loans supply the highest mortgage-to-values and the bottom rates available available on the market for debtors.
SBA annually grants RATING 18 the funds to oversee roughly 350 chapters volunteers who present free mentoring and counseling to entrepreneurs and small business ownership. So long as you're in a position to ship the goods per their request, what you are promoting is the most able and interesting to the government irrespective of the situation.
Just like the home-owner's mortgage program talked about above, small enterprise owners pledge any accessible property and acquire the same pledge from a partner or accomplice in the case of shared belongings. Since its founding on July 30, 1953, the U.S. Small Enterprise Administration has delivered millions of loans, loan guarantees, contracts, counseling sessions and different types of assistance to small companies.
In addition to business coaching services, 68{9e4fc87bf1a93d8e1841ab2fe58a99d0daf88a2ab0ff88191fbe933a8d25b10c} of WBCs present mentoring companies, and 45{9e4fc87bf1a93d8e1841ab2fe58a99d0daf88a2ab0ff88191fbe933a8d25b10c} present microloans. The SBA's ability to offer loans has also been considerably strengthened by the American Restoration and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010.

In today's increasingly connected homes, a fast, reliable Wi-Fi connection is no longer a luxury. We depend on Wi-Fi in so many ways: communicating with friends and family, sharing photos and videos, streaming movies and music, and interacting on social media. More and more, we also rely on Wi-Fi to connect a whole array of smart devices to manage mission-critical systems in our homes – such as smart locks, smart thermostats and smart security systems.
When it works the way it's supposed to, Wi-Fi is an amazing technology. When it doesn't – when we experience poor performance or can't connect at all – it has a big impact on our daily lives. For most of our devices, connecting over Wi-Fi is the only option. So, when it's not working, it can be extremely frustrating.
As a result, many people are rethinking the logic of relying on consumer-grade Wi-Fi systems to manage something that's so important to their daily lives. That's where TBTC can help – by providing a hassle-free Wi-Fi experience that makes your online experience better.
What is TBTC's Managed, Carrier-Class Wi-Fi?
With managed, Carrier-Class Wi-Fi, TBTC delivers the latest Wi-Fi technology and takes care of managing it within your home network. TBTC offers a variety of Wi-Fi service levels, depending on your needs, including Mesh Wi-Fi solutions that use satellite units placed in different rooms to extend a strong Wi-Fi signal throughout your home.
What are the benefits of TBTC's Managed, Carrier-Class Wi-Fi?

Second, it's worry free. TBTC will take care of managing and updating your Wi-Fi network on an ongoing basis, so you don't have to. If you ever have an issue with your home network, TBTC's technical support team can access your Wi-Fi router remotely over the Internet and get you back up and running quickly.
Finally, managed Wi-Fi is just cheaper than the latest prosumer-grade Wi-Fi systems. Many of these systems can cost upwards of $500. TBTC, on the other hand, offers hassle-free managed home Wi-Fi service for just $6 per month for each device!
Call us today to speak with a representative and find out how we can help you great wireless performance in your home.

Stories from Our Learners
Professor Wheeler's course gave me a new and profound perspective on negotiation. Whether I am trying to convince my daughter to go to bed on time, discussing a contract with a manufacturer, or organizing large-scale military exercises with thousands of troops and dozens of aircrafts, deftly employing the right negotiation technique can be the difference in success or failure.
Learning from Professor Wheeler is a once in a lifetime opportunity. A superb teacher, he shows students how to become masterful negotiators.
After taking Professor Wheeler's course, we step back, slow down and discuss strategically and thoughtfully what our counterparts may be thinking on the other side of the table. We have a better cadence for our preparation.

text: This document describes the two different algorithms that are available in PCRE2 for matching a compiled regular expression against a given subject string. The "standard" algorithm is the one provided by the pcre2_match() function. This works in the same as as Perl's matching function, and provide a Perl-compatible matching operation. The just- in-time (JIT) optimization that is described in the pcre2jit documenta- tion is compatible with this function. An alternative algorithm is provided by the pcre2_dfa_match() function; it operates in a different way, and is not Perl-compatible. This alter- native has advantages and disadvantages compared with the standard algorithm, and these are described below. When there is only one possible way in which a given subject string can match a pattern, the two algorithms give the same answer. A difference arises, however, when there are multiple possibilities. For example, if the pattern ^<.*> is matched against the string <something> <something else> <something further> there are three possible answers. The standard algorithm finds only one of them, whereas the alternative algorithm finds all three. REGULAR EXPRESSIONS AS TREES The set of strings that are matched by a regular expression can be rep- resented as a tree structure. An unlimited repetition in the pattern makes the tree of infinite size, but it is still a tree. Matching the pattern to a given subject string (from a given starting point) can be thought of as a search of the tree. There are two ways to search a tree: depth-first and breadth-first, and these correspond to the two matching algorithms provided by PCRE2. THE STANDARD MATCHING ALGORITHM In the terminology of Jeffrey Friedl's book "Mastering Regular Expres- sions", the standard algorithm is an "NFA algorithm". It conducts a depth-first search of the pattern tree. That is, it proceeds along a single path through the tree, checking that the subject matches what is required. When there is a mismatch, the algorithm tries any alterna- tives at the current point, and if they all fail, it backs up to the previous branch point in the tree, and tries the next alternative branch at that level. This often involves backing up (moving to the left) in the subject string as well. The order in which repetition branches are tried is controlled by the greedy or ungreedy nature of the quantifier. If a leaf node is reached, a matching string has been found, and at that point the algorithm stops. Thus, if there is more than one possi- This algorithm conducts a breadth-first search of the tree. Starting from the first matching point in the subject, it scans the subject string from left to right, once, character by character, and as it does this, it remembers all the paths through the tree that represent valid matches. In Friedl's terminology, this is a kind of "DFA algorithm", though it is not implemented as a traditional finite state machine (it keeps multiple states active simultaneously). Although the general principle of this matching algorithm is that it scans the subject string only once, without backtracking, there is one exception: when a lookaround assertion is encountered, the characters following or preceding the current point have to be independently inspected. The scan continues until either the end of the subject is reached, or there are no more unterminated paths. At this point, terminated paths represent the different matching possibilities (if there are none, the match has failed). Thus, if there is more than one possible match, this algorithm finds all of them, and in particular, it finds the long- est. The matches are returned in decreasing order of length. There is an option to stop the algorithm after the first match (which is neces- sarily the shortest) is found. Note that all the matches that are found start at the same point in the subject. If the pattern cat(er(pillar)?)? is matched against the string "the caterpillar catchment", the result is the three strings "caterpillar", "cater", and "cat" that start at the fifth character of the subject. The algorithm does not automati- cally move on to find matches that start at later positions. PCRE2's "auto-possessification" optimization usually applies to charac- ter repeats at the end of a pattern (as well as internally). For exam- ple, the pattern "a\d+" is compiled as if it were "a\d++" because there is no point even considering the possibility of backtracking into the repeated digits. For DFA matching, this means that only one possible match is found. If you really do want multiple matches in such cases, either use an ungreedy repeat ("a\d+?") or set the PCRE2_NO_AUTO_POS- SESS option when compiling. There are a number of features of PCRE2 regular expressions that are not supported or behave differently in the alternative matching func- tion. Those that are not supported cause an error if encountered. 1. Because the algorithm finds all possible matches, the greedy or ungreedy nature of repetition quantifiers is not relevant (though it may affect auto-possessification, as just described). During matching, greedy and ungreedy quantifiers are treated in exactly the same way. However, possessive quantifiers can make a difference when what follows could also match what is quantified, for example in a pattern like this: strings are available. 3. Because no substrings are captured, backreferences within the pat- tern are not supported. 4. For the same reason, conditional expressions that use a backrefer- ence as the condition or test for a specific group recursion are not supported. 5. Again for the same reason, script runs are not supported. 6. Because many paths through the tree may be active, the \K escape sequence, which resets the start of the match when encountered (but may be on some paths and not on others), is not supported. 7. Callouts are supported, but the value of the capture_top field is always 1, and the value of the capture_last field is always 0. 8. The \C escape sequence, which (in the standard algorithm) always matches a single code unit, even in a UTF mode, is not supported in these modes, because the alternative algorithm moves through the sub- ject string one character (not code unit) at a time, for all active paths through the tree. 9. Except for (*FAIL), the backtracking control verbs such as (*PRUNE) are not supported. (*FAIL) is supported, and behaves like a failing negative assertion. ADVANTAGES OF THE ALTERNATIVE ALGORITHM Using the alternative matching algorithm provides the following advan- tages: 1. All possible matches (at a single point in the subject) are automat- ically found, and in particular, the longest match is found. To find more than one match using the standard algorithm, you have to do kludgy things with callouts. 2. Because the alternative algorithm scans the subject string just once, and never needs to backtrack (except for lookbehinds), it is pos- sible to pass very long subject strings to the matching function in several pieces, checking for partial matching each time. Although it is also possible to do multi-segment matching using the standard algo- rithm, by retaining partially matched substrings, it is more compli- cated. The pcre2partial documentation gives details of partial matching and discusses multi-segment matching. DISADVANTAGES OF THE ALTERNATIVE ALGORITHM The alternative algorithm suffers from a number of disadvantages: 1. It is substantially slower than the standard algorithm. This is partly because it has to search for all possible matches, but is also because it is less susceptible to optimization.

BETHEL TWP. — Whether it's working together to provide a quality public education for Bethel students or singing holiday carols in neighborhoods, Bethel teachers always hit the right note.
On Sunday night, Bethel teachers met at Carriage Trails and Parktowne neighborhoods to bring some holiday cheer to their students and families.
Organized by the Bethel Education Association (BEA), Bethel teachers stepped up to raise their voices in song and share the joy of the season.
Though the weather didn't feel like December, smiling faces and holiday cheer set a festive tone.
"Our students don't usually see us outside the classroom," said Abby Manson, BEA president. "It's important for them to see us continuing to serve out in the community."
Bethel teachers know that volunteering outside the classroom can often make a difference inside the classroom. BEA represents dedicated Bethel teachers working to make a difference.
Any community organizations interested in collaborating with Bethel teachers are encouraged to contact Abby Manson at 937.573.7008.

text: Hiring Kara Kamienski Photography was easily the best decision I made. She and her team are easy to work with, quick to respond to emails, and made the day go super smoothly. It was so nice to be able to trust someone with an important piece of your wedding day and not have to worry about how the photos would turn out. My husband and I were ecstatic at how good both the engagement and wedding photos looked and have been receiving many compliments from friends and family. I cannot express how grateful I am to have such beautiful photos to remember this day and what a great experience it was to work with Kara and her team.

The general adage is the more data you have, the better off you can be. The reasoning is that data is knowledge, and the more you have knowledge, the more you have to learn.
That is generally true up to an extent. If you have data but fail to annotate or filter the data, you have a mountain of stuff that could be good, but the work still has to be done to make it good.
It's almost easier to have a smaller amount of good stuff than to have a large amount of stuff that needs to be filtered for good. From an effort level it's more efficient. From a cost perspective it seems more efficient as well.
My new general adage seems to be - ensure that good quality is there first. You can do more with that data in the long run.

Levi Bellfield, the bus stop killer, will stay in prison for the rest of his life after reducing three families to "unimagined grief", a judge said yesterday.
Bellfield, 39, convicted of killing two women and viciously attacking a third, was yesterday branded a coward by the families of those he murdered, Amelie Delagrange, 22, and Marsha McDonnell, 19, and by the surviving victim, Kate Sheedy, 21, for his decision not to attend court to hear his sentence.
His action was a final act of defiance in a four-month murder trial during which he displayed no remorse and, in extraordinary scenes in court, verbally taunted relatives of his victims as they sat close to him.
His barrister, William Boyce QC, said Bellfield was not in court because of the "explosion of bad publicity" and a "welter of accusations of other crimes by him".
It was revealed yesterday that the former nightclub bouncer, who is the prime suspect for the murder of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, who disappeared in 2002, also faced eight charges of rape and four of assault on three women, which will lie on file.
Yesterday, an emotional statement from Delagrange's mother, Dominique, was read in court, leaving many in tears. It charted the short life of an "absolutely adorable" daughter and the devastating impact of her death. "It will always hurt us not to know what would have become of Amelie had her life not been severed ... She wanted to marry, have children, and her sister to be godmother of her first child. So many unfulfilled hopes which are now intangible."
Addressing Bellfield as if he were present and not in the Old Bailey cells, Mrs Justice Rafferty gave the defendant three life terms: "You will not be considered for parole and must serve your whole life in prison."
There were cries of "yes!" from the public gallery as the sentence was passed.
Bellfield will be one of a handful of prisoners, including Steve Wright, convicted last week of the murders of five women in Ipswich, who will spend their life in jail.
The judge commended Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sutton, who led the investigation, for the "thousands of hours of unglamorous and painstaking" work that led to Bellfield's conviction.
After sentencing, families of the victims condemned Bellfield for not facing justice. Sheedy said: "It means so much to me that he got a full life term."
Delagrange's father, Jean-Francois, said: "It's just another show of his cowardice. He was a coward in his attacks and a coward today, the day he should pay for what he has done."
McDonnell's uncle, Shane, said: "For a man who took pleasure in his victims ... this latest act of cowardice comes as no surprise. We are extremely happy the law has decreed this man will die in prison."

Packing a (period) piece.
Hey, you know what network has the best original TV shows going right now? It's not HBO. It's HBO's horny, hyperactive cousin, Cinemax. I've been a Max devotee since Strike Back Season 2 blew me away, with the unsheathed, pulpy id of Banshee close behind. Even The Max's dalliance with gothic horror–the bizarre, engrossing Outcast–was a humdinger.
Now the network is back with something else daring and unique, a show unlike anything else you'll find anywhere. Quarry is based on the the potboiler mystery novels by Max Allan Collins, which tells the story of a recently returned Vietnam vet and the trouble he finds in his hometown in Memphis.
Mac Conway (Logan Marshall-Green) is back after serving two years in Vietnam. He returns under a cloud of controversy as his unit had been fingered for war crimes. The life as he knows it has evaporated; his wife Joni (Jodi Balfour) was unfaithful, no one wants to hire him for work and, worse, his best friend and former squadmate gets himself killed trying to be a hitman.
Mac finds himself drawn into the seedy world of contact killing, pressed into working for a mysterious man known only as The Broker, forced to pay down his friend's debt and save his family. As you can imagine, this leads to all manner of unsavory situation and domestic mishap and before it all ends, Quarry will have to face his own demons.
And there are demons aplenty in this broody, atmospheric series, an eight-episode tour de force that kept me utterly transfixed the whole time. There weren't humongous explosions or colorful villains or outlandish plot threads or sex galore or any of the elements you might think would characterize a Cinemax show. No, Quarry is a hardboiled, gritty, ultra-realistic drama, a tale of a broken man with a damaged soul who can't extricate himself from his violent past or the promise of a violent future.
The acting is top-shelf throughout, headlined by Marshall-Green as the tortured anti-hero (and I mean anti) and Balfour as his desperate wife. The two are exceptional talents and their relationship offers as compelling a caricature of a troubled, but loving marriage. Their connection is the emotional core of the show and it works brilliantly.
The thrust of the narrative is Quarry's attempts to negotiate the dark corridors of his new, bloody profession, while trying to preserve his relationship with his wife. Meanwhile, he's being tracked by a tenacious law officer and The Broker is funneling him towards deadlier and deadlier contracts. It's all set against the backdrop of the racial powder-keg that is '70s Memphis.
Quarry takes it time to let its plot breathe; this isn't a slam-bang action thrill ride. But hang with it and you'll be richly rewarded with some of the very best performances on television, a unique setting, a story that builds gravity a it rolls on and, finally, a one-shot Vietnam War flashback sequence that rivals True Detective's gold standard continuous sequence.
Great Blu-ray set: pristine video (1.78:1, 1080p) and audio (DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1) joined by audio commentaries, deleted scenes, featurettes, music videos and interviews.

Paula Radcliffe
In July there was another round of X-rays and finally a bone scan. It was discovered that, in fact the problem was a stress fracture. With Dad, I went to see Simon Costain at his Harley Street surgery in London. After doing some analysis, he showed how the source of the problems was a collapsed arch. "The actual stress fracture" said Simon "won't get better until you get the arch corrected. And that won't happen without some arch support". He made rigid orthotic supports for my arch that would be inserted into whatever shoes I wore.

Roz McGinty
Please thank Simon, Denzil and Kit for the superbly efficient and professional service. I will recommend the clinic to any of my buddies that ask.
Caroline Walker
This is a double thank you – first of all for the orthotics you created for me last year, which made a massive improvement to my feet pain, with the persistent bursitis hardly troubling me now. Also, for the recent adjustment you made to the right orthotic to relieve pressure from my 5th metatarsal. I'm used to the different contour underfoot now, and Peter and I went for a long walk (long for me anyway) yesterday, 2-3 miles and my 5th metatarsal wasn't sore at all, which is a big improvement and made the walk so much more enjoyable. So thank you for being able to make that adjustment immediately and for it to make such a difference. I will continue to recommend you to anyone having foot problems!
Elizabeth Cann - Women's singles national badminton player
I went to doctor after doctor and they all said there was nothing wrong with me! But I had been walking around with a 3 cm difference in leg length – orthotics from Simon Costain sorted the problem out. I now have two pair, one for training and one for match play and they have made all the difference.
Richard Nissen
I have been coming to Gait and Posture for over 10 years (after a recommendation) because of pain in my feet. Simon Costain has always looked after me and each time has produced orthotics that have revolutionised my life and put me back to a healthy life of walking long distances, spending long times on my feet and rowing. This has kept me fit and enabled me to lead a completely unchanged life. Recently Denzil Trebilcock spent a huge amount of time with me explaining what was going wrong as he fitting my latest orthotics.
I cannot recommend Gait and Posture more highly each time I visit I think that they will not be able to help me but each time they resolve all my issues Bravo!
